Chapter 689: The God of Death and the Hell Corps
That was right. In the end, only one of the two would inherit the title and become the true God of Death. Thus, a thought flashed through the God of Death’s head. ‘If all of this power was not divided into two and was only given to one successor, then…’
Perhaps, that existence would bring fear even to Athenae. The God of Death had always felt regret because of this matter. However, the God that Reads Stories twisted and destroyed what he was planning. The plans that the God of Death was making were still in the preparation stage.
The day when the episode God of Death and the Hell Corps was scheduled to be released was also the day when the God of Death would choose which one of his two successors became the true God of Death.
The two successors would compete and kill as many people as they could in Middle Earth. There was a chance that on that day, when the God of Death’s invasion happened, it would be a game changer for the whole of Athenae. There was a chance that many of Athenae’s players and NPCs would die.
Of course, the God of Death did not like what was happening right now. He was not ready for the invasion yet. Besides, the God that Reads Stories was just utilizing borrowed power to destroy a kingdom.
However, an interesting thought flashed through the God of Death’s head. He wanted his two successors, who had lost the story originally meant for them, to take down this current story.
[The God of Death is very excited to see what the two of you will be able to do now that you have combined your powers!]
[You might be able to gain new skills if you satisfy the God of Death!]
These were the notifications that Death and Akhan heard when they stood in front of the statue of the God of Death after complying with his summons. However, an ugly expression flashed across the faces of the two men as they looked at each other.
‘I have to work together with this money-crazy bastard…?’
‘I have to work with this bastard that plays with corpses everyday…?’
A summoner that could call forth any kind of monster that had been slumbering in the world.
A necromancer that ruled the dead and could call in hundreds of thousands of undead troops while summoning undead knights and mages
The two were aware that they could produce unimaginable results if the two of them worked together.
[The God of Death has bestowed his power upon you!]
[Your skills as the King of the Dead have changed!]
[The Kingdom of the Dead has changed into the ‘Empire of the Dead’!]
[You have been given the authority to manage and control the Order of the Blue Death!]
[The number of undead that you can control has doubled!]
[The attack of the undead that you have summoned will increase by 1.3x!]
[The defense of the undead that you have summoned will increase by 1.3x!]
[Your total HP and MP volume will increase by 1.7x!]
These were the notifications that the King of the Dead, Death, heard. As for Akhan? He also received notifications of a similar caliber.
Every player had the desire to show off power that could shake the world. The same was true for Akhan and Death.
Death, the king of the Kingdom of Death, was aware that his position was increasingly unstable due to the continuous appearance of increasingly powerful individuals. Even Akhan, who was greedy for money, was being challenged. In fact, several of the game companies that had offered to sponsor him before had already turned their heads away from him.
And at this moment, these two people were cooperating.
“Wipe them out.”
“Wipe them out.”
The two kings sitting on their thrones looked at their enemies haughtily.
“We have received your orders!!!”
“We have received your orders!!!”
The Blue Death Knights placed their fists on the left side of their chests and pulled out their swords.
Shiiiiing—
Shiiiiiiiiing—
The blue blades shone beautifully, harmonizing perfectly with the blue plate armor they were wearing..
“This, this is impossible…”
Among the 600,000 mercenaries hired by the Money Bag Merchant Group was Viray, the one called ‘White Necromancer.’ He was hailed as the ruler of necromancers in the Agaon Continent and was called their king. His level was high, at 570.
Viray was left in contemplation as he watched the Blue Death Knights attack, even though he could also summon the White Death Knights.
The truth was, players could not yet keep up with the level of the truly powerful NPCs. That was why Henry spent a huge amount of money to hire Viray, the White Necromancer. This was so he could keep Death in check.
However, Viray was now shaking in fear.
“What’s wrong?”
“The Blue Death Knights are a Knight Order that only the God of Death can order around. They are literally the Knights of Death that appear in myths and legends.”
“What kind of nonsense…” Henry shook his head.
The Knights of Death that appeared in myths? And he was telling Henry that Death had summoned a hundred of them? Viray had summoned around 100 White Death Knights. It should have been a number that could overwhelm Death. That was why Henry thought that what he was seeing was just some form of trickery.
“If they truly are the beings from the myths, then…” Viray mumbled, his gaze stained with fear as he looked at the charging Blue Death Knights. He could see his White Death Knights charging toward them too. As the two forces collided, his voice came out as barely a whisper.
“My Death Knights will be no match against them.”
Slaaaaaaash—
One Blue Death Knight swung his sword against the White Death Knight that was charging at him. However, Viray’s White Death Knight could not bear the force of the impact and staggered backward.
The Blue Death Knight took that opportunity to slam his fist into the enemy\'s face, cracking the skull of Viray’s White Death Knight. The White Death Knight shook and staggered as his skull split apart. The Blue Death Knight continued to bash the White Death Knight\'s head until it turned to dust.
Craaaaack—
The figure of the Blue Death Knight with the crushed skull of his enemy in his hands was enough to invoke fear and terror among everyone. Following his example, the rest of the Blue Death Knights charged forward and bashed in the heads of Viray’s Death Knights. They made it look effortless.
“…”
Henry was left speechless. However, it was not yet over.
“Uwaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
“Don’t be afraid!!!”
Mercenaries were people that walked the tightrope of life and death many times. After receiving a buff, their fears disappeared. Then, they charged forward.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
A bombardment of 6th and 7th tier magical attacks from the dragons rained down from the sky and swept them away.
Rumbleeeeeee—
Rumbleeeeeee—
The sky above them was torn apart as five gigantic Meteors appeared. The moment they landed, tens of thousands of mercenaries disappeared without a trace.
Thuuuuuuud—
The ground shook and trembled. Death’s undead did not waste any time as they began their brutal and fierce onslaught, killing all of the mercenaries in front of them. Akhan’s named monsters also joined the fray, creating more chaos and killing plenty of enemies.
“Graaaaaaaaaa!”
Five Mammoth Lords, elephant-type monsters that were seven meters long, appeared with thick iron armor all over their bodies and trampled on the mercenaries. The hides of the Mammoth Lords were so thick that none of the knights’ swords, magic, arrows and other attacks could do any damage to them.
Death, who was sitting on his throne with a nonchalant look on his face, watched as his undead army dug through the gaps of the mercenaries. Then, he said, “Corpse Explosion.”
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
Thousands of undead exploded and wiped out mercenaries several times their number. That was not the end. Death looked coldly at the now dead mercenaries and said, “Rise.”
Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack—
The skin of the dead mercenaries melted away as their bones twisted strangely. In a twisted fashion, they came under Death’s control, cutting down their previous allies.
Within an instant, Henry lost about 80,000 mercenaries. The damage was huge, especially since he was already heavily indebted to the God of Money.
In fact, these mercenaries were people that he had attracted by using his financial powers and capabilities from reality. He was sure that he would gain bigger benefits if he destroyed the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom!
However, the situation was turning for the worse every second.
Vwoooooooooong—
Flaaaaash—
At that moment, a gigantic man with a black sword jumped to the skies, slaughtered a few gryphons and landed heavily on the battlefield and began another wave of slaughter. Meanwhile, on the other side, a huge and powerful tidal wave appeared.
Shwaaaaaaaaaa—
Those that were caught by the huge tidal wave were torn apart, turning the blue waters red. The man held a chain in one hand while holding the Ten Thousand Sword in the other. They were none other than Elpis and Gorfido.
There was a hidden passage that connected the outside of the kingdom directly to the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom. Even the bloody barrier was able to stop them as they entered through that path.
“Giant’s Consecutive Hits!!!”
Another man flew in at the speed of light, this man was Beyond the Heavens’ Fist, Khan. Right below him was Ares, who slaughtered his enemies with his kicks.
Crackleeeee—
A gigantic whip struck down from the sky and swept away the enemies. The attack came from none other than Beyond the Heavens’ Vice Guild Master, Genie.
One by one, the executives of the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom appeared. Hope seemed to shine on the kingdom that was being pushed back.
One of the commentators made a comment.
[The Beyond the Heavens’ Executives are showing up now.]
[Golden Mage Ali has also arrived. Ali’s magical bombardment easily devoured tens of thousands of the Hell Corps.]
[I think hope is finally shining on Beyond the Heavens Kingdom.]
Meanwhile, Henry hurriedly sent a whisper to Rex.
[Henry: If we can’t destroy the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom then everything will be over for you and me!]
That was right. It was the end for them. Rex would receive severe punishments from the God of Death, while Henry would drown in debt.
However, Rex laughed.
[Rex: It’s not the end. Do not forget, I am now the God of Death.]
Indeed. Rex was now the God of Death. That meant that he was currently the god that governed hell and controlled all of the dead. In front of his eyes were these words:
[Current Contributions: 313, 624.]
[Great Demon Verus: 500,000 contributions. Cannot be summoned.]
[Corrupted God: 700,000 contributions. Cannot be summoned.]
[God of Snakes: 600,000 contributions. Cannot be summoned.]
[Demon Baal: 100,000 contributions. 200,000 souls of those that died within 24 hours. Can be summoned immediately.]
A huge grin appeared on Rex’s face—his contributions were enough for Baal. Baal was also known as the Demon King, an existence that sat right below Great Demon Verus. He was the demon that ranked first among the 72 Demons!
“Summon Baal.”
Thump, thump, thump, thump—
The souls of the dead soared to the skies at the swing of Rex’s staff.
Kyaaaaaaack!
Kihyaaaaack!
Kiheeeeeeeck!
The 200,000 shrieking souls gathered in the sky and created a gigantic black hole.
“…”
“…”
“…”
Genie and the rest of the executives of the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom realized that a huge crisis was upon them the moment they saw the gigantic black hole appear above them.
Rex sent another whisper to Henry.
[Rex: If Baal uses a few of the Beyond the Heavens’ executives and their troops, he will be able to summon the Great Demon. In fact, he could also summon the God of Snakes and even the Corrupted God.]
The true dignity and might of the God of Death was now being revealed.
A demon slowly appeared from the gigantic black hole. The demon wore a majestic and impressive black cape. Baal had risen in rank among the 72 Demons purely through his power and force.
[Baal’s Spear of Blooming Flames.]
[A sea of fire will engulf a five kilometer radius. It will deal 5,000% damage on the first hit and 2% damage per second from the injuries sustained by the attack.]
Baaaaaaaaaaang—
Demon King Baal threw his spear on the ground, and as if the land was covered with gasoline, fire spread rapidly, turning the undead into ashes and devouring the Beyond the Heavens’ troops.
Crackleeee—
One throw of his spear, and more than 100,000 undead and a thousand troops perished.
Baal spread out his black wings as he landed on the ground. On his way, he cut off the head of the dragon that blocked his path.
Thump—
Rex cackled as he watched the headless dragon plummet to the ground.
[The contributions for summoning Great Demon Verus have been satisfied!]
The Great Demon would once again descend upon the earth.
***
“…”
At the same time, Minhyuk was left dumbfounded after hearing Kronad’s words.
Most of Kronad’s power had been exhausted after summoning the Sacred Papal Sword. He told Minhyuk that he would not be able to send him back until some of his strength has been restored.
At that time, when he checked Evangel and the Sacred Papal Sword, Minhyuk thought, ‘Even for a short time, if I can go to the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom then…’
The tide of war would change.
“How long will it take?”
“Half an hour. And I can only send you back for a very short time. We will be sent back here after ten minutes.”
Hearing his words, Minhyuk badly wanted to curse Kronad and punch him straight in the gut.
‘Everyone, please hang in there a bit more.’
