Chapter 346

[You are entering the Space of Nothingness.]

The Space of Nothingness.

This is where the trial of the Cup of the Void takes place.

And if he passes that trial, he will be acknowledged as its master.

“What’s the trial?”

A space where nothing exists.

It was filled entirely with darkness, without a single ray of light.

Then what kind of trial would take place in a place like this?

“……”

Unlike during the time with the Overlord Titan, there was no one here.

Which meant he couldn’t even receive the trial, even if he wanted to.

“How am I supposed to be acknowledged?”

Jeong-hoon took a step forward.

But the darkness was so overwhelming it felt like he wasn’t moving at all.

“What do you two think?”

Jeong-hoon turned his head and looked at Mukho and Anima.

‘…….’

‘…….’

But no answer came back.

Jeong-hoon furrowed his brow and examined Mukho and Anima more closely.

‘So they’re illusions after all.’

As soon as he realized it, Mukho and Anima turned into mist and were instantly swallowed by the darkness.

Jeong-hoon reached out and touched the cloak of Mukho he was wearing.

As if his connection to Mukho had been cut off, there was no response at all.

Just like during the Overlord’s trial, they were likely in a dream.

‘Then it must mean there is a trial here after all.’

Jeong-hoon slowly closed his eyes.

The Cup of the Void.

The fact that the golden cup had turned clear and transparent must have meant it had become completely empty.

The fact that it had turned black now… could it mean he was standing at the center of the cup?

‘If that’s the case, then I have to fill it with myself.’

The Space of Nothingness.

A place where nothing exists.

He would fill this space, filled only with darkness, with his own existence.

Wooong—

As Jeong-hoon activated his mana and released it throughout his body, the surroundings began to resonate strongly, bringing about an astonishing change.

‘The darkness is entering me?’

Each time his mana pushed the darkness back, the outer darkness was rapidly absorbed into Jeong-hoon.

[You have obtained Dark Energy.]

[You have obtained Dark Energy.]

Dark Energy began to fill him.

He never expected to obtain Dark Energy here.

Jeong-hoon continued releasing his mana without rest.

* * *

At that moment.

The Cup of the Void in Jeong-hoon’s hand began to tremble.

Wooooong—

Tenebris watched the scene with a satisfied smile.

<Oh? He’s already undergoing the trial?>

<What kind of trial do you think it is?>

<I don’t know either. But I’m certain things are moving in the right direction.>

Tenebris looked at the Cup of the Void.

As soon as Jeong-hoon grasped it, the cup turned black.

– Grade: God

– Contains the existence of its wielder.

===

It was far too brief an explanation.

Jeong-hoon tilted his head in confusion, unable to understand for a moment.

“It contains my existence?”

<Simply put, it means the void inside has been filled with you.>

Tenebris answered his question.

“When I cut Abaddon’s body, I didn’t feel anything—so that was why.”

With that additional explanation, Jeong-hoon nodded in understanding.

When he had attacked Abaddon, he hadn’t felt anything in his hands.

He had assumed it was just because that wasn’t Abaddon’s true body, but in truth, it was due to the ability of this Divine Relic.

<Remember I told you before the fight with him? That the Cup of the Void can block the interference of Creation Power.>

“Yeah, you did.”

Abaddon had tried to catch him off guard under the pretense of a deal, intending to strike using Creation Artifact.

But when that interference failed, the plan fell apart, and even the Counterattack Rune had to be sacrificed.

Even now, it felt like such a waste.

Legendary Runes were already rare, and among them, ones like Counterattack with such overpowered abilities were even rarer.

Sacrificing one like that against Abaddon—it was only natural to feel regret.

<It’s because you used the power contained in the Cup of the Void to form a manifestation.>

“Hmm.”

<If you hadn’t used Counterattack to reflect everything, the outcome might’ve been different. He didn’t even use a tenth of this Divine Relic’s true power.>

“I know. That’s why it only activated when he was on the verge of death.”

Even while the Overlord Domain was active, Abaddon still asserted his presence through the Divine Relic.

<Anyway, you’ll be able to make good use of it. Since it absorbed even the Creation Artifact, there might be something new about it now.>

“Are you saying it got an upgrade?”

<That’s highly likely.>

“Oh?”

<Of course, don’t overuse it. The Cup of the Void is consumable as well. Eventually, you’ll need to replenish it with mana, divine power, and Creation Artifact.>

“So basically, only use it when it’s absolutely necessary.”

This Divine Relic had even drained his Creation Artifact, not just mana or divine power.

Once it runs out of energy, it means the Creation Artifact can’t be replenished.

Jeong-hoon smiled faintly and raised the cup.

<Hey, what did you just hear me say!?>

“I heard you clearly. Since it can’t be replenished, I should only use it when it’s needed.”

<Then why are you trying to use it right now if you heard me properly?>

“I want to fully understand how to use it.”

Still, he needed to learn how to use the Cup of the Void properly in preparation for his clash with Escanon.

There was too much risk in entering a battle without a full grasp of its usage, just because he was trying to conserve it.

There’s a reason the saying “Penny wise, pound foolish” exists.

‘Alright then, let’s begin.’
