Chapter 647: The Battlefield of the Gods
Everyone had been stunned after seeing the Corrupted God run amok.
[What is the Food God doing? Isn’t the Food God there? Why is he not doing anything to help the other players when they are so terrified?]
One of the players asked a very reasonable question, to which several other players answered.
[The Food God is also afraid. If the Food God got deprived of his God class then it would be a total loss for him. Losing that would also mean losing all of the skills that he possessed. If that happens, then Minhyuk will no longer be able to reign as a king.]
[That’s right. The Food God may be strong as a God, but can he fight against the Corrupted God?]
[If we look at it in the worst possible view, then we can say that the Food God, who has the qualifications to become a True God, is waiting on the sidelines. If the Corrupted God killed all of the God-class players and antagonists here, then he would eventually become the victor of the Battlefield of the Gods.]
Everyone made their own guesses and assumptions. After all, the Food God did not jump into battle like they wanted him to.
However, their assumptions were still wrong. Food God Minhyuk was swiftly making his way through the hundreds of God-class players while all of the cameras were solely focused on the Corrupted God. The first person that he approached was God of Buffs Rogal.
“F, Food God...” Rogal stuttered, his movements coming to a halt.
‘What is Athenae’s highest ranker, Minhyuk, doing here? Why did he leave behind the other players who were screaming in terror back there?’
Shake, shake, shake—
Rogal, whose body was shaking uncontrollably, felt that everyone present would die. They would die a death that was far more horrible than imaginable, having witnessed the present situation.
However, Minhyuk was God and he had the qualifications to become a True God. While they hoped for Minhyuk to fight for them, Rogal knew that it was just wishful thinking. There was no reason for the Food God to do something like that. All the Food God needed to do was win this battlefield. All of the players here were just playing for themselves and their own profit alone.
Still, Rogal sobbed with his head bowed, “If it were you... if it were you, then you might be able to stop her! Master Archer Miao’s head just exploded! She lost her God class and now she will be trampled on by everybody, being kicked around like a pebble on the street! Can’t you please... just once... just do it once for us...?!”
“I am going to fight.”
At that moment, Rogal heard Minhyuk’s warm and soft voice in his ears. When he finally looked up at him, he saw the look in the man’s eyes. Minhyuk’s eyes did not contain a shred of joy after witnessing the death of the God-class players, nor did they contain any signs of giving up.UppTodated from nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)/m
“I am going to fight too. That’s why you have to lend me your strength, Rogal.”
Rogal was flushed with an unknown emotion as he looked at Minhyuk. The man could have sat on the sidelines or run away, but here he was standing in front of Rogal begging him softly to help him. That was when Rogal saw it.
Shake, shake, shake—
Minhyuk was trying to hide it but failed to do so. Rogal could see that the Food God was also shaking.
“Hoo...” Minhyuk let out a trembling breath. Seeing him like this made Rogal realize why he became a king in Athenae.
“Food God,” Rogal said, bowing his head politely, “I will aid you.”
At that moment, the strongest power that the God of Buffs, the very same power that Rogal was preparing to use against Minhyuk, appeared and fell on Minhyuk’s body..
[God of Buff’s Grace]
[All of your stats have increased by 24%!]
[All of your skills’ levels have increased by +1!]
[Your physical attack and defense have increased by 10%!]
[Your fear has temporarily disappeared!]
A powerful force surged through Minhyuk’s veins as several other God-class players that were preparing various things earlier, appeared behind Rogal. They were all fully aware that jumping into the frontline of that battle would guarantee the quickest death that they would ever experience. However, the Food God was now trying to take the lead and run to that gruesome battlefield.
“I will help you too.”
[God of Reinforcement]
[The Continent Destroyer Sword has been reinforced by +2!]
Then, the God of Alchemy handed a bottle of blue potion to Minhyuk.
Pop—
“Me too.”
Without any hesitation, MInhyuk gulped down the potion that was handed over to him.
[God of Alchemy’s Potion]
[You have consumed the best potion, one that can only be made once every six months, made by the God of Alchemy!]
[The effects of the potion can overlap with other buffs!]
[All of your stats have increased by 22%!]
[All of your skills’ levels have increased by +1!]
[You can now probably use a sealed skill that was impossible for you to use before.]
Then the God of Parchments approached Minhyuk. He handed over several parchments to Minhyuk while saying, “I have always admired you.”
“...”
Minhyuk did not answer. They had met as enemies on this battlefield, a situation where Minhyuk had to win against them to become a God, while they had to stop him from becoming one. But right now, these people were looking at Minhyuk with small smiles on their faces. Even the other combat God-class players and antagonists began to gather around Minhyuk too.
Then, one of the antagonists said, “I usually hate the looks of the God-class players, but I also don’t want to see them crying and whining like that.”
Minhyuk placed his warm hand over the man’s shoulder and looked back at everyone. At that moment, Ali and Death were being dragged by the Corrupted God.
“Go ahead. Quickly save your friends.”
“We’ll give you support from the rear as much as we can.”
Minhyuk looked at them and nodded before running forward as hard as he could. One of the reasons why Minhyuk decided to jump forward was because of his friends. Ali might be an otaku but he was someone that firmly believed in Minhyuk. Death might be timid and was not good at expressing himself to others, but he was also someone very precious to Minhyuk.
Just by looking at the attack damage, everyone knew that if it was the other players, they would have already died.
The Corrupted God smiled in interest, “Two Gods combined together, ahihihihihihihi! Isn’t this very fun? You’re definitely strong. So strong that even I feel threatened. However...”
She licked the tip of her nose with her forked tongue and continued, “Do I even have to fight you?”
As she said those words, Minhyuk, who was sent flying back, saw ten books, with each book containing a name, appearing in the sky above her.
[Fallen God of Assassins Aekenon.]
[Ousted God of Magic Canvarro.]
[Lunatic God of Battles Kabanjarro.]
[...Forsaken Throne...]
[God of Monarchs that has Destroyed his own Kingdom Pellod.]
Everyone saw the same scene. Among them, someone that knew the most about Athenae’s mythology and legends shouted, “The Fallen God of Assassins, the Ousted God of Magic Canvarro and the other names written on those books! These were all Gods that had been expelled by God Athenae and deprived of their seats as Gods! They might be weakened since they have lost most of their divine powers but they are still Gods! In other words...”
The same player continued to murmur, “These ten Gods will descend here as our enemies...?”
Along with those words, a black aura appeared and slithered across all ten books.
[The Fallen God of Assassins has appeared!]
[The Ousted God of Magic Canvarro has appeared!]
[The Lunatic God of Battles Kabanjarro has appeared!]
[The God of Monarchs that has Destroyed his own Kingdom Pellod has appeared!]
Why was Athenae afraid of the Corrupted God? It was because the Gods that were driven out, grew crazy and became corrupted, following her.
The atmosphere in the entire area sank as all of the fallen Gods appeared and looked at Minhyuk. At the same time, hundreds of Death Knights appeared behind Pellod, the God of Monarchs that destroyed his own kingdom. Even though they had fallen, they were still Gods.
The Corrupted God cackled loudly, “Ahihihihihihihihi?! You became a f*cking God?! So, what?! In the end, you’re still alone! Huh?! Ahihihihihihihi!!!”
She laughed crazily. While she identified that man as a threat, there was no one else in this place.
At that moment, Minhyuk’s lips moved silently.
“I’m sorry but...”
Slash—
[You have dealt 75,413 attack damage!]
Blood spurted out of the back of the Corrupted God. When she turned around, she saw an unknown, yet beautiful, woman standing right behind her. The woman’s glossy and beautiful hair fluttered behind her red full plate armor.
“...that child is not alone.”
[Continental Emperor Ellie has appeared!]
[She has answered Minhyuk’s call and has become one of the ‘God’s Envoy’. entering the battlefield!]
Not long after, dozens of lights appeared from behind Minhyuk.
[Overlord Raldo has appeared!]
[He has answered Minhyuk’s call and has become one of the ‘God’s Envoy’...]
[Great Demon Gremory has appeared!]
[She has answered Minhyuk’s call...]
[The Dragon King has appeared!]
[The Elf King has appeared!]
[Queen Iris has appeared!]
[Saintess Loyna has appeared!]
[Pope Carunu has appeared!]
Minhyuk’s real envoys were all hiding their powers and waiting in the distance as per his orders. Spear God Ben appeared in a flash of light, with his black hair fluttering behind him. Great Pirate Gorfido also appeared, holding his Ten Thousand Chains while glaring sharply at the enemies around them. Even Beyond the Heavens’ Shield Elpis appeared with his sword pointed at the corrupted Gods.
“Graaaaaaaaaa!”
“Roaaaaaaaar!”
“Graaaaaaaaaar!”
The Cerberus, Love, Hope and Happiness roared and showed their majesty as Hell’s gatekeeper. God of Snakes Elizabeth also appeared while looking at the corrupted Gods with a cold and sharp glare.
“Oiiiiiiiiiiink!”
In front of Minhyuk, Supreme Divine Beast Beanie appeared.
“We will stick with you until the end.”
“We will trust you and fight with you.”
“Give us your order, Food God.”
Behind Minhyuk, those that ran away earlier out of fear from losing their God class, as well as the antagonists, stood next to each other looking at Minhyuk, with shining eyes.
Minhyuk turned around and said to everyone that stood by his side, “Destroy the corrupted Gods.”
