Chapter 639: The Battlefield of the Gods
“This f*cking God bastards… Haaa…”
The impact created by his words was tremendous. The faces of all of the God-class players and the antagonists were all hot, as if they had been slapped. That was not all.
The viewers watching this broadcast from all over the world realized that God would not fall for the provocation and mockery of uncivilized heathens. In fact, it would make the cries of the uncivilized heathen seem pitiful.
“Damn bastard!”
“You’re still not yet a God! I will make sure to drag you out of that damn temple!”
“Ridiculous.”
The God-class players were arrogant. After all, they were the ones that had reached the pinnacle of their own fields. For those that had always stood above others and enjoyed the thrill of outperforming others, this blatant disregard was enough to ignite the spark of anger and indignance.
“Calm down. Don’t fall for his provocation.”
“Provocation? Do you think we’re falling for a provocation? We just want to drag down that damn bastard!”
“How about we advance now? There’s nothing he can do, the bastard’s all alone!”
That was right. All of them fell for the provocation. Some of the more clever ones tried to control the situation, but ended up failing. Those that were also trying to calm them down and stop them from raging eventually sighed in resignation and just changed their tactics.
‘Dragging God down in one go.’
Immediately after that, several God-class players, including the God of Parchment, the God of Buffs, the God of Alchemy, the God of Enchantment, and so on, began to make their move.
The God of Parchment and Alchemy handed over their parchments and potions to Rogal, the God of Buffs. Rogal was known as the number one ranker in the global buff specialist rankings. Mei Wei was a bit different from him, since she could fight and send buffs. As for Rogal, he was solely specializing in buffs. That was how cheat-like his skills were.
“I’ll give that damn God the shock of his life,” Rogal said as he tore the parchment that was handed to him.
[You have ripped the Parchment of Power.]
[All of your stats have increased by 24%!]
[Your MP Volume has increased by 36%!]
[All of your skill levels have increased by +1!]
[You can send 1.4x stronger buffs!]
Then, he grabbed the bottle of potion that was filled with sloshing golden liquid.
Pop—
[You have drunk the Golden Potion.]
[All of your stats have increased by 15%!]
[Your MP Volume has increased by 24%!]
[You can send 1.8x stronger buffs!]
One of Rogal’s cheat-like powers was ‘buff overlap’, a power that could allow him to overlap up to five buffs.
[God of Enchantment’s Blessings.]
[Purna’s Book that you carry in your person shines brightly!]
[Purna’s Book has been strengthened by +5!]
Once an artifact received strengthening, the effects attached to the artifact would also become more outstanding. With Purne’s Book’s strengthening, Rogal’s skill level rose again, and even his MP Volume increased.
Just like that, those that were capable of sending buffs gave Rogal their buffs and increased his power.
“Purna’s Praise!”
Purna was the God of Buffs. The skill Purna’s Praise created a pair of wings made of light behind Rogal that shone brightly and engulfed almost 100,000 of the antagonists.
[All of your stats have increased by 24%!]
[Your skill levels have increased by +1!]
[Your physical attack and defense have increased by 25%!]
[Your magical attack and defense have increased by 25%!]
[Your resistance to abnormal status has increased by 30%!]
This was what they were trying to do. They all wanted the God of Buffs to bestow buffs upon them and make them several times stronger before they start the war.
“Crazy…”
“So, these are God-class players.”
“This is on an entirely different level from an ordinary war.”
In fact, even the God-class players themselves were very surprised after seeing Rogal send buffs to almost 100,000 people.
[That’s outstanding.]
[This is very interesting. We will be able to see the true worth of the God-class players, something that we haven’t witnessed before.]
That was not the end. Everyone opened up a path as one man walked forward. The man’s face was covered by the hood of his dark robe. Even the God-class players were breathless as they watched him step forward. When the man pulled off his hood, everyone was greeted by the sight of a good-looking Asian, who had discarded his long and gloomy hair for a dandy cut[1].
Then, the man declared, “Kingdom of Death.”
Creak, creak, creak, creak, creak—
The ground trembled and shook as hundreds of thousands of undead appeared. Then, the Death Knights and Liches appeared in front of the man, as he climbed on top of a bone dragon.
“D, Death…!”
“The King of Death… N, no. The God of Death!!!”
Death was also one of the God-class players. It was thanks to the buff effects that he was able to summon stronger undead than usual.
‘We have to charge at the beginning. It won’t be easy, Minhyuk,’ Death thought.
Then, right behind him…
“Graaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!” A wolf roared fiercely and loudly. When the people turned to look, they saw a young African boy sitting on top of the said wolf.
“K, Kaistra…!”
And that was not all. A bright light flashed as a man appeared ahead of Death and Kaistra. The man had golden hair, golden eyes and a golden staff in his hands. Not long after, the man stood above a giant snake.
“Go, Golden Mage Ali!!!”
“Woaaaaaaaah!!!”
Not everyone was strong just because they were God-class players. This was why rankings existed. In fact, the number of God-class players that had reached the global rankings was not that high. There were quite a lot of people that took their spot in the rankings solely through their control, skills and attack rate. But above them were God-class players with their godly control, the ones that ended up becoming the role model and idol of these God-class players. Death and Golden Mage Ali were such people.
“F*ck! What are we afraid of if we have them here?!”
“Let’s go!!!”
Their morale was sky high, especially after they received their buffs. Then, the notifications rang.
[God’s Temple is located at the peak of Mt. Evero.]
[You have to trek through various ravines, cliffs and valleys to reach God’s Temple.]
[There are three paths that will lead to God’s Temple.]
[You can only head to God’s Temple using one of the three paths, the Canyon of Death, for the first five hours of the game.]
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sounds of drumming signaled the beginning of the war. Only after five hours had passed would the second path be opened. And only five hours after the opening of the second path would the third path be opened. The momentum of the God-class players and the antagonists were at an all time high. They began to charge forward and advance at a shocking speed.
The God-class players were aware that there would be an ambush waiting for them in the Canyon of Death. They were sure that those that would ambush them would be standing on the cliffs above them and waiting to attack them.
However, none of them felt fear. After all, the God of the Shield, the God of Heroes, and the God of Magic were with them. On top of that, none of them thought that soldiers at Level 400-500 would be able to do anything to them. At the vanguard stood the God of Animals, the God of Death, and the God of Summoners, with their summons numbering a million.
Not long after, a canyon appeared in front of them. Just as they expected, there were around 10,000 of the Divine Army’s Troops waiting for them at the entrance of the canyon.
‘Minhyuk, what are you planning to do here?’
‘10,000 alone will not be able to stop these God-class players here.’
‘Not to mention everyone here is around 1.3x stronger than normal.’
Those who were aware of Minhyuk’s identity wondered what kind of strategy he was going for here. Immediately after that…
“Firewall! Firewall!”
Huge firewalls burst out all over the place. They were the magic that Golden Mage Ali had cast. The Divine Army quickly moved to block the magic with their shield and barrier magic, and even resorted to using their own shields. However, Ali’s magic broke through them all.
“Wipe them out,” Death ordered as almost millions of undead charged forward.
Of course, the antagonists also used that opportunity to charge forward.
“Of course, we already knew that there would be enemies ambushing us in the canyon. However, it seems like their numbers are too few.”
The one that took command of all the God-class players was none other than Alexander. He had participated as an antagonist, not as a God-class player. However, all of the players were following his command.
“Aaaaaaaaack!”
“Keuhaaaaaaaack!”
“Keuhaaaaaaaaaaaack!”
The Divine Army that blocked their path were being wiped away. ‘Was it going to be this easy?’ This thought flashed in everyone’s mind but it was only natural. After all, the level of the Divine Army troops were similar to their level. Even the number of attackers was far too overwhelming. That was on top of their power becoming 1.3x stronger than usual. God was at an absolute disadvantage here.
‘Is this a scouting? I’m sure he’s watching this scene from his temple,’ Alexander thought as the enemies in front of them collapsed.
“…That’s not what I’m thinking, right?” Ali suddenly spoke up mysteriously.
A flash of doubt appeared in Alexander’s face. Ali’s tone of voice sounded as if he knew who it was, ‘What?’
Immediately after, Alexander saw a sword falling from the sky. The sword fell down the Divine Army troops and floated in front of one of the characters with the name ‘Legion Commander Park’ flashing on his head. The sword, which was made of light, floated in front of Park. And…
“…!”
“…!”
“…!”
The same sword made of light appeared in front of all of the Divine Army troops at the same time.
“What, what the hell?!”
That was not all. A flash of light appeared at the top of the cliffs. Swords made of light appeared on top of the cliffs too. This only meant one thing.
‘There’s also an ambush waiting for us above the cliffs. What the hell are those swords made of lights…?!’
As if to mock them, a set of alarming notifications rang in their ears.
[God has bestowed Buff Praises to the Divine Army!]
[All of the Divine Army’s abilities will increase by 51%!]
[All of the Divine Army’s skills will increase by +3!]
[The Divine Army’s physical and magical attack and defenses will increase by 60%!]
[The Divine Army’s resistance to abnormal status will increase by 50%!]
[The Divine Army’s…]
[The Divine Army’s…]
“…He can send buffs?!!”
“Go, God has the ability to send buffs?!!”
However, the most surprising fact here was the fact that the buff that God had sent out was completely unbelievable. It could even compare to the buff created by the combined powers of the God of Buffs and God of Enchantments. In a way, they felt that it was natural. After all, God was 1.7x stronger than usual.
In front of them, the Divine Army troops that blocked the entrance to the canyon began to crush the millions of undead that charged at them with ease. The Divine Army was now 1.7x stronger than normal. For those advance troops, who only became 1.3x stronger than usual, the defending side had become monsters that they could not handle.
“This damn bastard!!!”
“What the hell?!”
“God of Priests!!! Hurry and send out heals!!!”
Just when everyone was clamoring…
[The Holy and Great God faces the foolish beings.]
[The Holy and Great God looks down upon you!]
“…!”
“…!”
“…!”
For a moment, Alexander and Ali’s eyes met before turning to look at the top of the cliffs that surrounded the canyon. There, they saw God, whose body was covered with a bright and holy light, looking down upon them. And standing above them on the very same cliffs were 90,000 Divine Army troops shouting loudly with swords made of light in their hands.
“Wooooooooaaaaaaaah!”
“Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
It was at that moment that they realized something.
“God does not have any intention of protecting his temple?!”
“Is he thinking of ending things here?!”
“This, this is ridiculous…!”
Then, the man above them said, “Summon Hanwoo.” However, to the God-class players and his antagonists, his words were interpreted differently.
[God’s Protector]
At that moment…
Baaaaaaaaaaang—
A 40-meter-long pillar of light, not the figure of Hanwoo, appeared. The appearance of the pillar of light caused the ground to sink deeply, as tens of thousands of undead in the vicinity died without fighting back.
Then, God declared, “Hanwoo, charge,” which was translated to the ears of his opponents as…
[God’s Judgment.]
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
The gigantic pillar of light began to charge forward, bulldozing 500,000 enemy troops and crushing them out of existence. The God of Magic Ali and the God of Shields hurriedly tried to cast their shields, but it was futile.
Baaaaaaaaaang—
The shields that they put up were just like useless paper, as the force behind the attack easily crushed it down and trampled on it.
Not long after, Alexander, Ali, Carr, Kaistra, and the countless players that stood against God saw the corners of God’s mouth curl up into a sneer. The ones that knew Minhyuk’s identity realized what he intended to do.
‘No way…!’
‘Already?!’
‘This, this early…?!’
‘That’s crazy…!’
Then, they heard it.
[God has summoned his first Envoy.]
[God’s Envoy will trample and destroy the wicked on God’s behalf!]
Baaaaaaaaaaaaang—
The envoy, covered with bright light, shot down from the sky. The envoy was wearing a golden full-plate armor and a helmet that covered his entire face. However, there was one thing that they were sure of after seeing the white spear in the hands of the envoy. Then, his name appeared in front of all of the viewers, the wary God-class players, and antagonists.
‘The Envoy of Spear.’
As for the people from the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom who knew of the man’s existence? All of their backs were dripping with cold sweat.
