Chapter 672: Hanwoo

Chapter 672: Hanwoo

Ambron sighed softly. He expected Minhyuk to send only around 30 believers, but the number of enemies that appeared in front of them was around 20,000. On top of that, God had only sent a clone with 60% of his own power and did not even come in person.

‘In the end, he’s the same...? Why can’t he come in person? Just like that time when he first captivated me and won me over? Isn’t he going to save me and those poor people?’ Ambron gritted his teeth.

[God is grateful to you for gathering believers for him!]

[God has received your sincere heart and thoughts!]

Flaaaaaaaash—

At that moment, white light began to burst out of the Minhyuk Church’s temple, which was hidden behind the dark thickets of the gloomy and dark forest.

Flaaaaaash—

Flaaaaaaash—

Flaaaaaaaash—

White warhorses appeared one after the other from within the forest, carrying men covered with the hood of their white uniform similar to a priest’s robes as they charged forward and cried loudly to announce their presence.

“Hihihihihihing!”

“Hihihihihihihing!”

[The envoys sent by God have now reached the temple and have come to save you!]

Ambron could not hide the shock in his eyes when he saw the men wearing pure white priestly robes appear in front of him. Fifty people? A hundred? Perhaps, two hundred? No, not at all. There were as many as 500 people that appeared in front of him, and they immediately started to sweep away the 20,000 enemy army that were attacking the temple.

“Euaaaaaaaack!”

“Keuhaaaaaaaaaaack!”

“Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!”

The average level of the soldiers of the Kingdom of Eden was at Level 450. Among them were also the ten Heavenly Army knights and one Heavenly Commander that Minhyuk had summoned through the ‘Heavenly Army’s Commander’s Ring’.

Shwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa—

Shwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa—

The scene where a mere unit of 500 strong men in pure white priestly robes swept away the believers of the Incarnation of Fire, was very awe-inspiring.

“Ah, aaaaaaah... aaaaaaaaaah...!” Ambron sank to his knees, his hands clasped together in prayer.

‘To think I doubted my god! I was suspicious of him!’

Tears streamed down Ambron’s cheeks as he repented. Hundreds of Ardees’ believers charged towards him, intent on killing him. Was this going to be his end? Perhaps, but it was fine, because today, Ambron had seen how great and amazing his god, the Food God, was.

“Die!!!”

“Kill that priest no matter what!!!”

Ambron, despite the countless swords and spears aimed at him, smiled. But then, at that moment, the hood covering the face of one of the men, who in white priestly robes riding the warhorses, fell off and exposed his face. Ambron was deeply moved at the sight.

‘My God! The Great God of the Minhyuk Church!!!’

Then, the man swung his sword while saying, “Intangible Sword.”

[God has sent his clone to save and protect you!]

[He is swinging his sword for you!]

Stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab—!

Then, at that moment, hundreds of Ardees’ believers that were dead set on killing Ambron collapsed on the ground, blood spurting from their body at the same time.

Thud— Thud— Thud— Thud—

Even though Ambron had seen it with his own eyes, he could not believe it. It was just too surreal.

‘What...?’

Ambron’s face was painted with confusion. The clone that God had sent had only swung his sword once. However, the hundreds of people that had approached him all died in an instant. That was not even the end of it.

“Keuaaaaaaaaack!”

“Aaaaaaaaack!”

“Urrrrrrrrrrk!”

“...”

“...”

Everyone turned speechless when they saw how Ardees’ priests and believers fell down like leaves in autumn. Some even completely lost their will to fight. In fact, Ardees’ believers were aware that nothing would change even if they destroyed the Minhyuk Church. They just did this because they wanted to find a place where they could vent their anger after they learned about the death of the god that they had served and worshiped for a very long time.

“Ardees was a violent and fierce god. Everyone knew of his viciousness even in the world of the gods,” At that moment, Priest Ambron declared as he stepped forward.

There were now only around a thousand survivors from Ardees’ believers at most. This was because the envoys that Minhyuk had brought forward were far too strong. For some strange reason, the surviving believers of God Ardees began to listen intently to Ambron. This was all because of Ambron’s passive, ‘Priest that Shares Faith’.

The Priest that Shares Faith was an incredible skill that could attract those that did not have any god to follow, those that had been abandoned by their god, or those that no longer had any god to worship and serve.

“On the other hand, the Food God is very gracious and merciful towards his believers.”

“...”

“...”

Everyone looked at Ambron when they heard his words. It was true. After all, Minhyuk had sent his clone and envoys to protect his temple, priests and believers. This fact alone made the believers of God Ardees feel envy towards the believers of the Food God’s religion.

“Our Lord, the Food God, will welcome you with open arms.”

Minhyuk’s clone stopped attacking the moment he heard those words.

‘Eh? I didn’t plan on doing that though?’

Minhyuk had been controlling his clone. In fact, he did not intend to spare a single soul here. However, he stopped to watch this interesting situation that Ambron, his priest, was creating.

“If you stay with Minhyuk Church, you will definitely become happy!!! Everyone, can’t you see the happy smile on my face?!!!” Ambron said, tears streaming down his cheeks.

“Ah, aaaaaaaaah...!!!”

“Such heartfelt tears!!! Just because you’re serving and worshiping your own god!!!”

“Aaaaaaah! Minhyuk Church! What a great name!!!”

Among those that shouted in admiration was Illen, the dean and head priest of Ardees’ religion. In fact, he had already grown skeptical of his god and was already on the fence as to whether he should continue to serve his god or not. He was also the one that was first to shout to make sure that he could win the heart of his new god and the believers of Minhyuk Church.

“Minhyuk...”

“...”

“...”

“...”

Everyone focused on Illen when they saw him mumble Minhyuk’s name while shedding tears.

“...Church, long live!!!”

“Long liveeeeeeeee!!!”

“Aaaaaaaaaaaah! The great and mighty Minhyuk Church!!!”

Many of them decided to abandon their religion and choose to serve Minhyuk and Minhyuk Church right at this very moment. However, there were others that did not want to do so.

At that moment, a very quick-witted being began to make his move. This being was none other than Priest Beanie, wearing his own version of a priestly robe.

Beanie grabbed the priests and believers that started to move to return to their homes, his expression reminiscent of an old master in seclusion. Then, he smiled at them kindly and said, “Oink, oink oink, oink. (Have a meal before you go.)”

The eyes of everyone that tasted the food served in the Minhyuk Church grew wide after realizing the greatness of the Food God.

“Aaaaaaaaaah! Lord Minhyuuuuuuk!”

“Aaaaaaaaaaaah. Long live Minhyuk Religioooooon!”

At the same time, notifications rang in the ears of Minhyuk, who was controlling his clone from afar.

[You have gained 557 new priests and 485 new believers in Minhyuk Church.]

[Minhyuk Church’s level has increased further!]

“...?”

Simply put, Minhyuk was able to eat rice cake while lying down[1] thanks to Ambron. Just when the thought flashed in his head...

‘I want to eat some rice cakes.’

Today too, Minhyuk Church’s god was thinking like as he typically did.

1. Achieving something so easily. ☜
