Chapter 728: The Sage’s Tower of Magic

Belovan’s expression turned ugly. The lowest god in front was glaring at him while holding onto his sword with one hand. He could not help but gulp dryly at the thick killing intent that he was emitting, despite his wide and round eyes underneath his black hair.

‘They’re the same...’

The man in front of him was a human, or to be more precise a human that recently became a god. Brod raised his shaking arms and fussed over the man, worrying about his bleeding hands being cut.

‘How dare a mere Continental God that stands at the lowest...!’

That ‘mere’ Continental God kept his sword at bay. If Belovan had to be honest, this was something that was already shocking. In fact, he did not expect a man with the status of god and king to personally come here just for one mere vassal.

However, even if that was the case, they were still in for trouble.

“Just you?” Belovan snickered.

First, Absolute Gods were strong existences that others could not easily deal with. Besides, there were several gods and around 250,000 soldiers of the Divine Army in this place. Whatever choice he made, whether he ran away with Brod or killed everyone here, the Battle God would still go after them. He was still doomed to die in the end.

“Your Majesty.” Brod was choking up. He also knew how reckless Minhyuk was. Minhyuk told him that he would remember him, however, he had to live and stay with him for a very long time. Although his king told him to live with him for a long time, he knew that he could not do so. Their current situation was too desperate for them to be able to do that.

“Kill the Food God!!!”

“Cut down those that stand up against the Battle God!!!”

“Continental God, you have to pay the price for trying to stop the Battle God’s Divine Army!”

It seemed like there was only Minhyuk and Brod standing against hundreds of thousands of enemies. This scene brought along a wide, but creepy, smile on Belovan’s face. On the other hand, Brod was thinking about how he could somehow save His Majesty from this predicament.

“I...”

Minhyuk glared sharply, his gaze seen through the gaps of his black hair looked extremely cold. Belovan was startled to see those wide and gentle eyes giving such a cold look.

“...am not alone.”

That was when Belovan saw three weapons hanging on Minhyuk’s neck. The first weapon was a sword.

[The Emperor that commanded the entire continent brandishes his sword for the lowest God!]

[He was the Continental Emperor that united the entire continent!]

The next weapon was a spear shining a bloody red light.

[The greatest God of War in history wields his spear for the lowest God!]

[He was the one that commanded the greatest Heavenly Army!]

At the same time, the space behind Minhyuk opened up to reveal 100,000 soldiers of the Heavenly Army wearing white horned helmets, white armor, and holding shining and brilliant swords in their hands.

Then, the final one, a dagger fashioned out of a monster’s teeth.

[The Father of all of the monsters in the continent raises his sword for the lowest God!]

[He was the one that ruled all of the monsters in the entire continent!]

Just like how the space behind Minhyuk was torn apart, the sky above them also opened up.

“Kihyeeeeeeeeck!”

“Kyahaaaaaaaaack!”

“Graaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

Dozens of dragons appeared soaring through the skies, unleashing several wide area-of-effect attack magic on the divine army soldiers beneath them.

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

Then, a goddess, beautiful enough to be called the Goddess of Beauty, appeared right beside Brod. She hugged Brod tightly and said, “Did you know?”

The woman’s gentle and warm voice seemed to melt the deep-seated exhaustion and fatigue in Brod’s body.

“Your king has overcome his greatest pain just for you.”

“...”

Brod felt a gush of warmth flood his chest as the God of Benevolence kissed him on the forehead.

Indeed. Minhyuk also thought that it was impossible.

“Then, is there really no other way?”

“No. It’s not like there’s no other method.”

In the first place, Andeiro had suggested that it was possible to save Brod by saying that the way to save him was by getting the help of the Food God’s friends. However, getting the help of the Food God’s friends was just a part of the process. Minhyuk could only save Brod after going through a long and arduous process.

Andeiro said, “I can bring the Battle God here for a moment using a portion of my powers.”

“...The Battle God?” Minhyuk looked at Andeiro in surprise.

Who was the Battle God? He was the being that appointed Nerva Sephiroth as the emperor of the Great Luvien Empire. He was also the god that most of the gods in the Land of the Gods served. Perhaps, if Athenae was taken out of the equation, he could be considered as the greatest among all of the gods.

Andeiro did not explain any further. However, Minhyuk understood him perfectly well.

“Please call the Battle God.”

“I understand,” Andeiro answered as he stood in front of a faceless statue. Then, a wisp of black energy shot out from his staff and entered the statue.

“...Heed my calls.”

The power remained in the statue before disappearing. No changes appeared in the statue. Andeiro’s expression turned ugly at that. So, he chanted the spell once again and called for the Battle God to come down to this place. However, the Battle God did not respond at all.

“What’s the matter?” Minhyuk asked, he could see that Andeiro’s tries were fruitless.

“The Battle God is not responding.”

“Why?”

“He’s ignoring you.”

“You said he’s ignoring me?”

The one that answered the question was not Andeiro, but Adren the God of Benevolence.

“The Battle God is the greatest among all of the gods. He’s not someone that other gods can see just because they wanted to. It doesn’t make sense for such a god to come here for you. After all, you are the lowest god.”

However, Minhyuk had to meet with the Battle God right at this very moment.

“Andeiro, keep on calling him.”

“I understand.”

What they were doing felt like they were keeping on calling someone that deliberately did not answer their phone. Still, they would call until the phone was picked up! However, no matter how hard they kept on calling, the Battle God did not respond.

“I don’t think anything would change if you go to save Brod right now,” Andeiro mumbled. He also felt confused. He never expected such a situation to happen. Even the Food God’s friends all looked discouraged by this.

‘Then, what if...’

At that moment, Minhyuk thought of using a trick.

Andeiro quickly noticed that Minhyuk had thought of something. “Did you come up with something?”

Minhyuk told Andeiro about the method that he thought of. The Food God’s friends, who were there with them, looked dumbfounded at what they heard.

“I don’t think the Battle God will accept something so ridiculous?”

“That’s nonsense.”

However, Minhyuk thought differently. There was always a way to get another person to respond.

“Andeiro. Call him one more time.”

“Are you really going to do it?”

Andeiro sighed when he saw Minhyuk nod. ‘I don’t know if it’s going to work but...’

In the end, a wisp of black energy once again swirled from Andeiro’s staff and entered the statue. Just like before, the statue still did not respond.

But then, using his most wretched and annoying voice, Minhyuk shouted, “Ah, that m*th**f*cker. He must have ran away because he’s scared. That must be the case, no? He must have ran away just now because he’s really scared?”

[The Battle God is descending by his own will!]

Eyes appeared on the blank face of the statue. The Battle God finally responded.
