Chapter 640: The Battlefield of the Gods

Chapter 640: The Battlefield of the Gods

Whatever the challengers did, they did it according to their plans. The same was true for Minhyuk. He had pondered deeply before he participated in the Battlefield of the Gods.

‘Should I take as much time as possible, defeat my enemies, collect enough contributions and summon my envoys one by one?’

It was not the first time that Minhyuk had thought about this. However, he soon realized, ‘A long and drawn-out battle with the God-class players would be like poison to me.’

God-class players were all people that had reached the pinnacle of their own fields. There would even be antagonists joining them. Among these antagonists were top rankers that had reached their position through their skills and control. So, what would happen if Minhyuk aimed for a drawn-out battle with them?

‘Their vision is on a different level from ordinary players. They will definitely find a gap, attack me, and break through my defenses.’

If an average player could clear a time-attack dungeon in ten minutes, a ranker at the same level and stats would be able to clear that very same dungeon in just eight minutes. That was how sharp they were and how unpredictable they would be as an opponent.

After taking the matter into consideration, Minhyuk finally decided, ‘A quick and decisive battle.’

The vicinity of the temple was lined with defensive weapons that could easily stop the enemies’ advance. But Minhyuk had decided to give up on that, opting for a quick and decisive battle.

Minhyuk was, in fact, already preparing his buffed dish when the enemies started to use their God’s Message. Inside the Battlefield of the Gods, he could choose three of whatever God-ranked item he wanted, whether it was a God’s ingredient, God’s potion, God’s parchment, or whatever else.

After he had become stronger, he quickly made a dish and immediately cast ‘Everyone’s Happiness.’ Since Minhyuk had grown stronger, his OP and cheat-like skills had also naturally increased in strength. The level of his skill ‘Everyone’s Happiness’ had risen sharply, allowing Minhyuk to give buffs to 100,000 allies.

The skill also made it possible for Minhyuk to deploy his entire army in the canyon and put pressure on his enemies right at the start of their siege. This meant that Minhyuk would be able to gain a high contribution from the very beginning.

With a single charge from Hanwoo, Minhyuk’s points rolled in.

[Your contribution has increased by 261,410!]

[You have forced 31 God classes and 2,403 antagonists to log out!]

Minhyuk needed at least 800,000 contribution points to summon one envoy. Following Hanwoo’s charge, Minhyuk’s army, which were strengthened by Everyone’s Happiness, began to speed up their advance, which of course resulted in the non-stop ringing of notifications in his ears.

[Your contribution has increased by 346,480!]

[You have forced 48 God classes and 4,561 antagonists to log out!]

[Your contribution...]

Finally, the notification that he was waiting for rang in his ears.

[Your contribution... 231,517!]

[You have met the requirement for summoning an envoy.]

In this battlefield that had turned into hell on earth, the Divine Army troops that numbered less than 10,000 struggled at the entrance of the canyon. They were trying not to be pushed back and trampled on by their enemies. However, the God classes had already started to take hold of their ranks and push them back systematically.

But then, at that moment, the great and holy God, Minhyuk, looked down at them and said, “Summon Envoy.”

The envoy covered in bright light shot down from the sky.

Thuuud—

When the dust cleared, an envoy holding a white spear appeared in front of them, emitting a blinding light. Seeing him, the God classes grew wary.

‘Spear God Ben...’

Meanwhile, the members of the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom were sweating cold bullets. However, there were still plenty among them that remained calm. Why? Because they had Alexander, one of the Summit Five and global best ranker.

“Unlike God, they did not get any adjustments. Besides, there are no God-rank NPCs working under players that have been announced to the world yet.”

Indeed, that was the truth. There was a half God, but there was no real God among the NPCs yet. It hadn’t been that long since Sword God Valen had died too. To put it in other words...

“There’s no need for us to be afraid of a single envoy.”

This was what they strongly believed. After all, they were all God classes.

“Don’t you think that this is an opportunity for the God of Knights, Affor?”

“I think so too.”

God of Knights Affor was one of the world-renowned God class players. Even though he was just a novice player at Level 50, he was blessed with a God class that allowed him to summon strong knights from all over the world. In fact, he could even summon Supreme NPCs that far surpassed Legendary NPCs in the world. Affor was someone that even the God of Summoners would give up attacking, as long as he was under the protection of his knights.

The number of knights that he could usually summon was around eight. But after receiving the buff effect, he could summon ten. He could now even summon the Legendary Knights that he had been unable to summon before. What were Legendary Knights? They were far more special and stronger than the legends who had made their names in the past.

Before the Envoy of the Spear made his full appearance, Affor had already summoned his knights.

[You have summoned one of the legendary Spear Masters, Lunoie!]

[Lunoie is said to be the greatest Spear Master in human history!]

[Lunoie can grant a buff that increases all stats by 10% when he is with other spear masters.]

Indeed, Lunoie was a great being. The description attached to his name was very different from others’ from the get-go. After hearing that notification, Affor immediately summoned other spear masters. Each and every single one of the spear masters that he summoned were equivalent to Supreme NPCs in power.

“Once Affor deals with that envoy, we will quickly divide our ranks and deal with the Divine Army and God at the same time.”

Everyone nodded at Alexander’s orders. Immediately after that, Lunoie led the other nine Named NPCs and surrounded the Envoy of the Spear. Lunoie was a very tall and imposing man with a very messy and unkempt beard. He was looking at the impact created by the Envoy of the Spear that was still bathed in light.

[You have triggered the Spear God’s Authority!]

Lunoie and the other spear masters immediately answered in unison.

“For the Spear God!”

“For the Spear God!”

“For the Spear God!”

All of them thumped their spears on the ground in worship of the man in front of them.

“...”

“...”

The antagonists and the God classes were all rendered speechless by the scene unfolding in front of them. And...

“Kill them all.”

The ones that they had thought were their allies suddenly became enemies that charged straight at them. The biggest problem here was the fact that Lunoie was the greatest spear master in the history of mankind. In addition, the ones behind him were spear masters too.

Then, the Spear God, who they thought was Aerdes, slowly stepped forward. The expression on Alexander and the other God classes’ faces changed. The one that they had to be wary of was the God that was in front of them, the very same God that was holding a spear in his hands.

Spear God Ben had shown everyone that he had the power to slaughter tens of thousands of enemies during the Battle of Thrones when he temporarily got a hold of the power of God. And thanks to the God Piercing Spear, Spear God Ben was able to get a hold of the power of the God of Spears for an entire hour today.

Spear God Ben said, “Spear God’s Bull.”

But just like the case with Minhyuk earlier, the notification that rang in everyone’s ears translated to something different.

[Frenzied Spear.]

The Spear God’s Bull was a skill attached to the God Piercing Spear. Upon casting, it would charge into the enemies that were within a hundred meter radius of the skill caster. Assuming that the enemies were spread apart at two meter intervals, the effect of this skill was tremendous. And as the bull continued its charge, it would cast abnormal status debuffs on all of the enemies that it made contact with. That was on top of a 6,800% additional attack power given to the skill caster.

What would happen if a demigod, in possession of a divine spear, gained an additional 6,800% attack? It would be truly, truly devastating.

Vwoooooooooooooong—

Then, a tremendous amount of force shot out from the envoy’s spear and shot out, ready to cover an entire 100 meter radius.

“Keuhaaaaaaack!”

“Aaaaaaaaaack!”

“Uwaaaaaaaaack!”

The moment the powerful force touched them, those who were hit all disappeared without leaving a trace.

Baaaaaaaaaang—

After reaching a radius of 70 meters, the wall behind them broke down and the cliffs surrounding the canyon collapsed.

Rumblee—

Something akin to a natural disaster unfolded in front of everyone. The spear of disaster killed plenty of the antagonists and dragged them down to the mire.

[You have fallen into the Abnormal Status: Fear!]

[Your morale has been greatly reduced.]

[All of your stats will decrease by 13%. Your attack and movement speed will decrease by 10%!]

The worst part? The Spear God’s Bull had thrown abnormal statuses on them even without the Spear God personally touching them.

Tremble—

Alexander felt a chill run down his spine. Then, he saw God make another move.

[God has summoned his second Envoy.]

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

Just like before, another envoy engulfed in bright light shot down from the sky. This time, unlike the Envoy of the Spear, who was wearing a golden ensemble, the second envoy was wearing pure white full-plate armor, a white helmet, a white cape, with a pair of pure white wings on his back.

[Warning!!!]

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

[Warning!!!]

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

[The envoy summoned by God is an Archangel!]

At this moment, the being that was hailed as a lesser demon had descended and become an archangel.

“F*ck...” One of the Korean players murmured in despair.
