Chapter 763: The War of Destruction

Chapter 763: The War of Destruction

There had been a never-ending release of breaking news all over the world.

[Breaking News. The Destruction Monarch and the Envoy Chosen by the Battle God himself is none other than Food God Minhyuk.]

[Breaking News. The appearance of the Evil Incarnate has ruined the ‘War of Destruction’ event.]

[With the appearance of the Evil Incarnate, the ATV Broadcasting Station has broken through 50% in viewership ratings.]

[People from all over the world have tuned in wondering if they can hunt down the Evil Incarnate and if the War of Destruction Event will end safely.]

[Breaking News. The Destruction Monarch, global rankers, and NPCs have joined forces.]

[A miracle, a hope, has started to sprout in everyone’s hearts.]

Meanwhile, the ugliest and filthiest god, the Evil Incarnate, hoped that Destruction Monarch Farrow and Battle God Belson would be devoured by their despair. He also hoped that everyone here, including the man named Food God that tried to interfere with his plans, would suffer tremendously.

Because of that, the Evil Incarnate took away the power that he gave to the Destruction Monarch. After all, only when they lost everything that they had, would helplessness and despair settle in their bones and make them shrink in fear.

However, the Evil Incarnate did not see any despair or suffering flash in the eyes of everyone present.

[The Evil Incarnate has made a huge mistake here.]

[True, he revealed the identity of the Destruction Monarch. However, that player is the best and the strongest ranker in Athenae.]

[The most important point here is the fact that Player Minhyuk has killed and hunted plenty of enemies that we believed to have been impossible to hunt.]

[Player Minhyuk is like a ray of light for everyone. He has always made the impossible possible.]

[And he’s also the king of Beyond the Heavens Kingdom.]

[The players, along with his own guild members, and the NPCs that were once his enemies, are now gathering by his side.]

[Since Player Minhyuk was the Destruction Monarch, we will now be able to see who the Knights of Destruction are.]

[The Knights of Destruction are probably NPCs from the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom like Spear God Ben, Brod, God of Snakes Elizabeth, and many more.]

[As we speak, the NPCs of Beyond the Heavens are starting to scatter into nothingness. Perhaps it’s because the Evil Incarnate stripped Player Minhyuk of the power of the Destruction Monarch.]

[It seems like the Spear God Ben, Brod, Food God Minhyuk and the rest that we saw earlier were made and controlled by AI.]

[However, we should not forget the most important fact.]

The players from all over the globe clenched their fists tightly. Among those that gathered around Minhyuk were Overlord Raldo and Mercenary King Venteio.

[Venteio is the successor of the God of Mercenaries. He’s like the father to all of the mercenaries.]

[Overlord Raldo might just be a king of a small nation. However, that nation is one that a few empires dare not do anything to. He has strength comparable to a kingdom itself.]

[Elven King Argon and the Dragon King are also here.]

[With the advent of the War of Destruction, plenty of NPCs that wanted to test the limits of their strength and their capabilities have all participated.]

[Even Absolute Monarch Richard and his Masserati Kingdom’s guild members are also among the people that have gathered.]

[It seems like even Monarch Richard thought that their only way out of this perilous situation is to side with Minhyuk.]

[This will be the moment where they flip the heavens and the earths.]

At that moment, a stream of golden energy fluttered into existence on Golden Mage Ali’s palms. Then, he pushed his palm forward and gathered the people scattered all over the place and brought them together.

“Do you think you, humans, will be able to do anything just because you’re united?!”

The Evil Incarnate was once again left furious when things did not go his way. Furious at the hope that flashed in their faces, instead of the despair that he was anticipating, the Evil Incarnate shot hundreds of sword lights toward them, which filled the sky.

Before, they were all busy keeping each other in check. That was not the case anymore. Knights of Destruction Spear God Ben swung his spear and destroyed the sword lights that started to fall from the sky.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom—

Immediately after that, Overlord Raldo used his ‘Overlord’s Technique’ and further weakened the sword lights that got past Spear God Ben’s attacks. Of course, the thousands of rankers would not let themselves be left behind. They all sent powerful attacks toward the oncoming barrage.

Baaaaaaaaaaaaam—

However, even though the rankers sent their powerful attacks, the sword lights did not disappear entirely and just continued on their merry way. Thankfully, with enough layered attacks, they eventually scattered into nothingness.

“Keueeeeeeeck! Keueeeeeeeeeck! Despair! Despair! I told you to fall into the depths of despair!” The Evil Incarnate grew even more furious when things continued to stray from the path that he wanted.

Then, with Minhyuk charging at the vanguard, the close-combat high rankers began to run. At the same time, golden swords floated above before gently landing on the heads of the charging rankers and slowly seeping into their bodies.

[Absolute Monarch’s Radiant Sword.]

[All of your attacks have increased by 20%. Your skills’ attack has increased by 15%!]

These notifications rang in the ears of the high rankers, thanks to Absolute Monarch Richard’s buff.

[Ruler of the Battlefield.]

[The blessings of the noble god that rules over all battlefields has wrapped around you!]

That was not the end. Mei Wei, once the global number one ranker who was now famous for becoming Minhyuk’s bread shuttle, gave her blessings. At the same time, wings rose on the shoulder blades of all of the charging rankers.

[Your movement and attack speed have increased by 25%!]

[Your evasion rate has increased by 40%!]

[You can fly at the speed of light once!]

Hundreds of rankers flew up with white wings on their backs, and Minhyuk at the lead.

Then, a small and illusory figure started to form on Minhyuk’s back. The illusory figure of a hero was wearing a golden armor and a golden horned helmet on his head. Belson might be chosen by the Battle God, but this person was someone that had transcended and gone beyond many gods through his own hardwork and effort.

[The Evil Incarnate’s Authority has dragged you into a state of fear and terror!]

[Only when the darkness clears up will you be able to move!]

[Your body is suffering from intense fear!]

“U, uwaaaaaah!”

“I’m, I’m scared...”

“Kyaaaaaaack...”

“Let’s, let’s log out!”

“Shit! We can’t log out!”

All of them began to shake fiercely from the fear. However, no matter how hard they tried, their bodies just could not move.

The voice that sounded like the devil whispered softly in their ears, “I am you. Your evil is my source and my root. Ke, kekekekekekekekeke! Kihihihihihihihihihi!”

-Kihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihi!

-Kehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe!

The gruesome and horrible laugh engulfed all of the players. But then, for a brief moment, a bright light flashed amidst the darkness. Then, the notifications rang in the ears of the players.

[The Evil Incarnate’s Authority will release the ‘Evil Spirit’s Army’ for thirty minutes!]

[The Evil Spirit’s Army will remain indefinitely unless the Evil Incarnate dies or his Evil Incarnate’s Authority ends.]

Millions of black evil spirits of all bizarre shapes and sizes charged in front of their very eyes. They all had bones twisting strangely all over their bodies and their level was high, some even reached Level 646. Watching them turn the Land of Destruction into a sea of black made everyone tremble even further from fear.

Joy Co. Ltd.

Everyone inside the conference room held their breath as they watched the Evil Incarnate’s Authority unfold and bring about the players and NPCs’ greatest fears. At the same time, millions of evil spirits marched and dyed the entire Land of Destruction a sea of black.

The flustered voices of the commentators also continued to ring inside the conference room.

[Our screens are once again filled with a sea of darkness.]

[We cannot confirm whatever is happening in the Land of Destruction.]

[Creak, creak, creak— Crack, crack, crack—]

[Uwaaaaaaack!]

[Keuaaaaaaack!]

[U, uwaaaaaaa! S, save meeeee!!!]

They could only hear the screams echo in the darkness. Even the operators and executives of Joy Co. Ltd. were left speechless when they heard those desperate screams.

[A total of 24,313 players and NPCs have either died or have been forced to log out inside the Land of Destruction.]

[A total of 42,514 players and NPCs have either died or have been forced to log out inside the Land of Destruction.]

[A total of 23,614 players and NPCs have either died or have been forced to log out inside the Land of Destruction...]

Everyone felt their mouths turn dry at the notifications that constantly rang in their ears. Just like that, deaths and forced logouts devoured their surroundings.

[P, pleaaaaaaaase!!!]

Someone’s head dropped and rolled as one of the players shrieked helplessly.

[Crackleeee—!]

[Crackleeeeeeeee—!]

[Cracklesssss—!]

Then, blazing flames suddenly broke out all over the place and illuminated the Land of Destruction. At the same time, the bodies of the Evil Spirits’ Army that were devouring and tearing apart the players and NPCs caught fire and slowly faded into white before disappearing with the wind.

[Crackleeee—!]

[Crackleeeeeeeee—!]

Everyone turned to look at the light that was like a lamp in this never ending sea of darkness. There, they saw a man walking amidst the millions of troops of the Evil Spirit’s Army.

The man’s face looked very familiar. In fact, anyone that saw the promotional video of the War of Destruction would know who he was. His face was now covered with wrinkles, but it was still obviously ‘him’.

He wore a set of white armor with a white sword hanging on his waist, while his silver hair fluttered behind him. With every step that he took, the entities of the Evil Spirit’s Army were extinguished, disappearing into nothingness. The Evil Spirit’s Army had a limitless number of soldiers, but none of them reached him.

Everyone was in awe as they watched ‘him’ walk slowly forward. Then, he pulled his sword and swung it once.

Crackleeeeeeeee—

At the same time, half a million of the Evil Spirit’s Army disappeared starting from the front to the rear of the army, after being engulfed with a bright white light.

This was the greatest being.

[One of the Absolute Gods.]

[The Greatest and Strongest God that Ruled Over All of the Armies.]

[The Battle God has descended!]

[The Battle God. He is the greatest god among the absolute gods!]
