Chapter 642: The Battlefield of the Gods

The Envoy of the Spear and the Archangel were both necessary talents that Minhyuk needed to win the Battlefield of the Gods. However, they were also his very precious comrades. Minhyuk could not just stand by and watch as the two men came in contact with huge danger, even though he was expected to not make any move since he was God, albeit only temporarily.

Because Minhyuk became a God, his skill levels and stats had dramatically increased. Black Dragon Vormon might have been transplanted with the heart of an ancient dragon, but Minhyuk was already several times stronger than before.

After cutting Vormon down, Minhyuk looked at everyone coldly as he used a skill. The skill was none other than Overlord Technique. Originally, the Overlord Technique was a skill that could only be used when the Overlord’s Mana had been filled. However, for Minhyuk, who became a God, such a restriction was not needed. In fact, it even became more powerful than usual.

Just like that, the Overlord’s Technique made Minhyuk’s enemies kneel down under a different name.

[God’s Sword Blade.]

[Your sword with additional 11,000% attack power will rip all of your enemies within a 150 meter radius apart!]

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

“…!”

Black Dragon Vormon’s yellow eyes grew wide in shock as Ali summoned a shield to protect them.

Clang, clang, clang, clang—

Akhan immediately took the opportunity to cast the summoner’s buff ability to his summon, Vormon.

[The Summoned One’s Blessings.]

[Physical and magical defenses will increase by 60%!]

Death also summoned skeletons and created a huge wall that blocked their front. However, none of their defensive measures worked.

Alexander could only sigh as God glared sharply at them. He thought, ‘Those eyes look familiar…’ while looking at God’s eyes, the only part of his face that was visible to them, while the rest was obscured by the bright light.

In the end, the power that God released broke apart the golden shield that Ali created. It even broke apart the wall of bones and traveled even further, directly hitting Vormon.

“Kihyeeeeeeeeeck!” Vormon shrieked as his body got torn to pieces.

It was a sight that was enough to make the entire world go into shock. Black Dragon Vormon was said to be the greatest and strongest existence in this world! Yet he was already turning into dust that scattered in the wind barely moments after he was summoned. But that power did not stop at Vormon. It continued on and knocked down several more people. Then, God took a step forward.

Thud—

Stagger—

One step from God and many already started to back away.

Thud—

On his second step, someone fell on their back. And on his third step, someone groaned in despair, “Aaah…!”

At that moment, Akhan’s voice rang loudly in everyone’s ears, “Everyone, come back to your senses!!! How long are you going to hide those cherished things of yours?! Are you not going to kill God?!”

The God-class players finally realized the severity of the situation in front of them after hearing Akhan’s words.

What Akhan was talking about was the skills with penalties that each of the God-class players had saved. Most of these players could use skills with the strongest effects, but they would also be subjected to terrible penalties. In the case of Food God Minhyuk, his class was said to be the most balanced, since he did not have any skill with the worst penalties. The penalty for such skills was too big. However, the pay off in terms of power was also beyond anyone’s imagination.

Still, they hesitated.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

Then, at that moment, Ali began shooting hundreds of magical attacks. Amidst the explosions, God Minhyuk desperately hoped for the appearance of a being, ‘Brod.’

(Ring Connecting the King and his Vassals)

Rank: Legendary

Requirements: The One that has Vassals.

Durability: 2,000 / 2,000

Special Abilities:

?No matter where or what your vassal was doing, you will be able to summon them unconditionally. Can only be used once a month.

?To summon your vassal, you need to say the trigger words: ‘If I’m with you then…’

Minhyuk deliberately chose this artifact from Reuven’s treasure house. He also chose to use the Ring Connecting the King and his Vassals at this moment because he saw that his contribution was almost filled just a few moments prior.

[You have used the Ring Connecting the King and his Vassals.]

[Your Vassal is out of range.]

Minhyuk had tried several times but the result had always been the same. Minhyuk chewed on his lips, fully aware that he would eventually be pushed back during this battle.

Just like what Akhan has implied, the God-class players would be able to show tremendous power once they disregarded the penalties that they would incur upon using their skills. Of course, there would only be one person that would climb to the realm of a True God, but there were people that just wanted to defeat him and see him lose. Even that was threatening to Minhyuk.

Placed in such a situation, Minhyuk believed that it was necessary to have Brod by his side to win. With the power that Brod displayed during the Battle of the Thrones, and the ‘Great Sword’ that Minhyuk had asked to be made for him, there was a chance that they would be able to overturn this situation.

Shwaaaaaaaaaaaaa—

Minhyuk broke through the bombardment of magical explosions and charged towards his enemies. He intended to cut down more of his enemies, gain enough contribution and immediately summon God of Snakes Elizabeth. However…

[God of Buff’s Manipulation.]

[You will gain the power to temporarily manipulate anything and everything.]

[It is impossible to go beyond the laws of causality.]

[You have received a -5 on all of your stats as a penalty.]

In the end, God of Buffs Rogal decided to use his penalty skill. In exchange for the huge penalty, he received the power to temporarily control the system. Then, Rogal threw a black chain towards Minhyuk’s body which promptly got absorbed inside.

[You can’t earn contributions for 15 minutes!]

“…!”

The notification came as a shock to Minhyuk.

[The weapon used by the Archangel has been sealed!]

The God Piercing Spear had a longer duration compared to the weapon used by the archangel. This meant that the Archangel would be infinitely weaker compared to before. The problem was that there was not much time left either for the Envoy of the Spear’s weapon too. On top of that, if Minhyuk could not accumulate contributions for fifteen minutes, it meant that it was impossible for him to summon another envoy. How about the Divine Army? They were still struggling as Akhan, Ali, and Death continued to hold them back.

“From the looks of it, it seems like he really has more envoys to summon…”

“That’s freaking crazy. How many envoys does he have?”

The God-class players clicked their tongues as they watched Minhyuk break through the flames of war and display his powers. Minhyuk had a passive skill called ‘Lightning’. By becoming God, the strength of the skill had grown by leaps and bounds.

Baaaaaaaaang—

The moment he struck one of the God-class players that blocked him, a divine explosion unfolded.

Baaaaaaang—

Baaaaaaaang—

Minhyuk began to push back the antagonists and God classes rapidly. Meanwhile, the Envoy of the Spear and the Archangel continued to stay by each other’s side. However, after losing his weapon, the Archangel was rendered powerless under the onslaught of the attacks of Alexander and the antagonists.

Minhyuk looked at the God-class players that lined up in front of him with a cold and sharp glare as he cast his skill, ‘Sword of Tempest’. Unlike the ordinary Sword of Tempest, thousands of swords rained down on his enemies, spinning fiercely and devouring them whole.

“Euaaaaaaaaack!”

“Keuhaaaaaaack!”

“Keoooooook!”

“The damage that he deals is crazy…” Alexander murmured as he assessed the situation.

He was right. Most of the enemies that received Minhyuk’s attack had been forced to log out. There were supposed to be God-class players, some even the pillars of their own empires and kingdoms.

“God Piercing Arrow.”

Thwaaaaaaack—

Master Archer Miao aimed for Minhyuk’s heart as she released an arrow that would definitely reach its target

‘I can take that.’

Although they believed that Minhyuk was just a powerful dealer, his HP volume was actually five times higher than normal. He even had an excellent defensive power.

Minhyuk looked at the enemies that surrounded him. His beloved master had left him his legacy. This was what Minhyuk was going to show the world right now, “Hundred Swords.”

[You have used the Sword that Encompasses God’s Lands.]

Originally, the hundreds of blades released by this skill would have an additional 4,000% damage. But with all of Minhyuk's power increased, the total damage that it could deal had reached 8,000%. But that was not all. Even its radius of effect had increased to 80 meters.

Rumbleeeeee—

The ground started to distort, as multiple sword blades took the lives of the enemies surrounding him. The abnormal status that originally caused breathing difficulties was replaced with a stun and a restriction on their ankles. Nearly 9,000 antagonists and God-class players died from the attack.

“That’s really freaking crazy…”

“How can we kill someone like that?”

In the end, the ones that hesitated were forced to make a decision. When Minhyuk leapt above his enemies, a chain suddenly shot out and wrapped his arm. As he tried to shake it off, a set of notifications rang out.

[God of Endurance.]

[The God of Endurance has restrained his opponent from moving!]

[Your opponent will not be able to move for five seconds!]

[You will receive a penalty of -1 level on a random skill.]

The player that used the skill had the God-class: ‘God of Endurance’s Descendant. Although the player did not usually gain much attention, he was the best person for this situation. Alexander’s eyes shone brightly at this. Even the other combat classes saw the opportunity presented by this situation.

Alexander also had a skill with the worst penalty. While he had used the skill: Splitting God before, this time, it was different.

“Splitting the Origin.”

Shwaaaaaaaaa—

Alexander’s sword fell from the sky like a disaster and struck Minhyuk.

“Ugh!”

The attack dealt huge damage; one glance and anyone could estimate that there was at least 16,000% damage on that attack. Immediately after, Master Archer Miao nocked an arrow on her bow, “Tempest Shot.”

Then, a huge storm struck Minhyuk’s body. The attack generated a powerful force that caused great changes in the surroundings.

“Keuaaaaack!” Minhyuk screamed as the notifications rang.

[You have dealt a huge blow to God!]

[God has started to shake!]

The God-class players and the antagonists cheered as they started attacking Minhyuk all at once. In those five seconds, it would not matter how strong God was. It would still be very hard for him to endure against the onslaught of their most powerful attacks.

At the same time, God had been given a passive as a special privilege called ‘God’s Revival’. If God’s HP reached zero, it would immediately refill to almost 40%, while a ‘God’s Barrier’ would appear and protect him for four seconds.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

.

The God-class players’ strongest attack skills continued to rain down on Minhyuk.

“God!”

“Goooooood!”

The Envoy of the Spear tried to break through the enemy ranks as quickly as possible, but his strength was no longer enough. Even the Archangel tried to do something, but in the end, he bled to his death until he turned into ashes.

[The Archangel has died in the Battlefield of the Gods.]

[The Archangel will be revived in the territory that he lives in.]

The Archangel scattered in the wind and disappeared from sight. Despair devoured the Envoy of the Spear as he looked at his king, who was rendered powerless by countless enemies.

The God-class players and the antagonists were delighted, while the entire world paid attention to whatever was going to happen next with bated breaths. Perhaps a new person qualified to be a God would be born right here and now?

In the end, Minhyuk’s HP reached zero. Thanks to his special privilege, his HP immediately jumped back to 40% and a golden barrier appeared to surround him.

Then, at that moment…

[Spatial Distortion.]

[The God that Controls Space restricted your range of movements to three meters!]

“…”

Minhyuk’s face turned ugly. Because of the power that was cast upon him, even if the barrier was lifted after four seconds, he would not be able to leave this place. The antagonists began to surround him.

At this point, the entire world knew, ‘The one qualified to become God will change…’

Meanwhile, someone lamented, howling, “Goooooooood!”

“Nooooo!”

Thud—

Exhausted, Minhyuk collapsed on one knee. As he tried to stand up with the last of his strength, the barrier started to melt down. Minhyuk saw the God-class players and the antagonists looking at him with smiles of victory on their faces.

‘Minhyuk, this is our victory,’?Alexander thought. He had just realized that the man that they were fighting against was the Food God. However, he did not need to inform anyone of this fact. The man in front of him would die without the world knowing this.

With the barrier almost disappearing, Alexander said, “Prepare to attack.”

But then, at that moment, a very welcome notification rang in Minhyuk’s ears.

[The Ring Connecting the King and His Vassals is shining brightly!]

[The vassal that you were searching for is trying his best to comply with your request!]

Minhyuk struggled to stand up amidst the attention of everyone around him. A little more and his contribution would be enough to summon one more envoy, and it was just in time.

[You can now earn contributions again!]

Minhyuk jumped out of the slowly disappearing barrier himself, throwing his body in the middle of the antagonists that surrounded him in layers.

“Wh, what…?!”

In an instant, Minhyuk charged forward and cut down five antagonists.

[You have met the required contribution for summoning an envoy.]

Then, he said, “Summon Envoy.”

[God has summoned his third Envoy.]

[God’s Envoy will trample and destroy the wicked on God’s behalf!!!]

[Warning!!!]

[A being that has transcended the limits of a human being has made an appearance!]

[Warning!!!]

[A being that has transcended the limits of a human being has made an appearance!]

[The envoy summoned by God is also another God!!!]

Baaaaaaaaaaang—

A bright light shot down from the skies. Seeing this, Minhyuk hurriedly rummaged through his inventory, taking out a greatsword and throwing it toward the light in the sky.

Booooooooooom—

The shooting light caught the greatsword that Minhyuk threw which promptly changed the notifications that announced his arrival.

[Warning!!!]

[A being that has transcended the limits of a human being has made an appearance!]

[Warning!!!]

[A being that has transcended the limits of a human being has made an appearance!]

[The envoy summoned by God is an Absolute God!!!]

The bright light that shot down fell on the ground and took the shape of a man kneeling on one knee in front of his God. Everyone present was horrified by the sudden turn of events.
