Chapter 765: The War of Destruction
What kind of existence were the gods in the minds of the Athenae players? They were the absolute existence in their fields, with Greatest God Athenae as the sole exception. There were many legends that used the spear and the sword, to the point that it was impossible to count them with their hands. However, gods were different. For each field in the world, there was only one god.
That was why everyone knew that these gods were great, but arrogant beings. Was there anything that they could say against these arrogant beings? No, because they were the progenitor and the creator of that field. Besides, it was likely anyone would act the same way if they were in the same position.
Minhyuk, who rode on the white warhorse while wearing full plate armor, used the God of Generals’ skill: ‘Assembling the Gods’. Underneath the white horned helmet, Minhyuk opened his mouth and said, “Assemble.”
Along with his words, a powerful and majestic world message resounded.
[The One that Received the Recognition of the God of Generals.]
[The One that Became the ‘God’s Knight’ for the Battle God.]
[He has used the Assembling the Gods!]
[The Gods that have assembled will only be able to use one attack and one skill!]
[He is the Lowest God!]
[The Lowest God’s order to assemble the gods is not an absolute order!]
[...has not responded!]
[...has not responded!]
Plenty of people grew helpless and despondent when they heard that some gods were unresponsive despite the call for the Assembling of the Gods. It would have been a spectacular sight to see, one not witnessed anywhere else in the world, if a player rallied those noble and arrogant gods. However, the players knew the reality.
[... A foreigner god? There’s no way that they’ll respond to the calls of Player Minhyuk, a mere Continental God.]
[It’s a bit unfortunate but at least we have the Battle God and the God of Generals on our side. There’s still hope.]
[In fact, I believe they have a good chance. After all, Player Minhyuk can use the power of the ‘Food God’ and the power of the ‘God’s Knight’ right now.]
The commentators spoke as if they were consoling each other, but the viewers remained bitter.
[There’s no way that those arrogant gods will answer the calls of a foreigner god and the lowest god Minhyuk.]
[It doesn’t matter if Player Minhyuk is the best and strongest ranker in the world. In the first place, it does not make sense for him to gather those gods.]
[However, what do you think would happen if the Battle God is the one that used the Assembling the Gods?]
[If the Battle God is the one that used the Assembling the Gods, then don’t you think that those gods will all prostrate and kneel in front of him?]
[This is obviously the limit of a player.]
[It would be ridiculous if Absolute Gods appeared, right?]
[Guys, wake up. The ordinary gods are not coming, so why would Absolute Gods appear? On top of that, the Absolute Gods are in the same class as the Battle God.]
Just like what one viewer said, the Absolute Gods were in the same class as the Battle God.
[Will they even assemble even if it was the power of the Battle God? They have their own pride, you know?]
[Eh... But it’s not the Battle God that asked them to gather. It’s Minhyuk.]
[No, how can the Food God gather them if even the Battle God cannot?]
[Now that you say that... it sounds reasonable.]
Everyone felt that it was a pity after thinking like that.
However, the Battle God was sporting a relaxed expression on his face as he murmured to himself, “There are so many Absolute Gods that love and adore that child.”
“...”
Farrow turned to look at Minhyuk in surprise after hearing those words.

Joy Co. Ltd.
Lee Minhwa, a member of the Special Players Management Team, watched as the Land of the Gods was turned upside down.
Some of the gods were talking with each other.
“What? A mere Continental God dares to order us gods to assemble?”
“What’s his name?”
“The Food God? That cheeky and impudent bastard?!!!”
“Why would I even respond to the calls of that cheeky bastard?!”
“I have my pride as a god too!”
All of the gods in the Land of the Gods cursed and denied the summon. Seeing this, Lee Minhwa immediately tapped on her keyboard. However, what she saw in another place made her dumbfounded.
“This is Player Minhyuk’s personal connections... no, I mean, godly connections...”
‘Is it even appropriate to call it personal connections at this juncture?’
Just as she was pondering over the matter, the doors slammed open and Team Leader Park Minggyu entered.
Team Leader Park had come from the conference room to check on the situation after seeing that none of the gods had responded. “Why are the gods not responding? No matter how prideful they were, the Assembling of the Gods has been approved by the Battle God himself.”
Lee Minhwa shook her head at his question. “Team Leader, it’s not that the gods are not responding.”
[The Will of the One that Charges Forward has been triggered!]
[With your unwavering will, you will not fear anything that comes your way. No attack will reach you!]
[Your HP and MP has been restored to 100%!]
[You have the courage to stand tall and never fear anything.]
[All of your attack power has increased by 30%!]
Swoooooooosh—
The hundreds of spears disappeared into nothing the moment Minhyuk raised his head and looked at them. The God of Will was left in a translucent state. He flew behind Minhyuk and joined him in his charge.
The commentators were stunned by the scene.
[This is unbelievable! One of the Absolute Gods, the God of Will, has responded to Player Minhyuk’s call...]
But the shock that they would receive was not yet over.
[The second God has responded!]
[The second God loved and treasured him, who loved and placed food above everybody else and who wanted no one to be hungry, more than anybody else!]
[The second God is one of the ‘Absolute Gods’, the God of Cooking!]
At the same time, the God of Cooking, who was wearing a white armor and a white mask on her face, appeared right next to Minhyuk and smiled softly at him.
[The God of Cooking’s Smile.]
[You have seen the smile of the fussiest and most stubborn God of Cooking.]
[Even if you haven’t eaten anything, you will still feel full!]
[All of your stats have increased by 23%. All of your skills’ level has increased by +1!]
The God of Cooking Arlene was the god that had been watching Minhyuk for the longest time.
The entire world was left reeling in shock.
[The third God has responded!]
[The fourth God has responded...]
[The fifth God...]
[The fiftieth God...]
[The ninety-ninth God...]
[You are in an oversaturated situation!]
[Saturated Situation!]
[Status can no longer be measured!]
[Cannot be measured!]
[Cannot be measured...]
[The Gates of Heaven have been momentarily blocked because of the overflowing number of gods that have responded to your call!]
It was completely ridiculous. So many gods have responded to the point that they were clamoring over the gates and could not pass through.
Minhyuk had already become stronger with the help of the God of Will and the God of Cooking. Because of that, Minhyuk’s speed as he rode his white warhorse had also increased tremendously. It did not take too long for Minhyuk to reach the vicinity of the Evil Incarnate.
The Evil Incarnate knew that he could escape as long as he wanted to.
‘I never expected that there would be this many gods that would respond to his call.’
The Evil Incarnate was very sure that he would die if all of the gods came here. However, just when he was about to turn into a stream of black air and disappear, another god responded.
[The 307th God has responded!]
[At first, this God envied him. Why? Because he was the one that caught his heart. He was also the one that made God feel insignificant.]
Many people groaned and hummed at the notifications. Which god was it that envied Minhyuk and even made him feel insignificant?
[But now, this God believes in him more than anybody else.]
[This God watches you, the Lowest God, earnestly.]
[I hope that you will inherit my legacy and follow in my footsteps.]
[The 307th God is one of the ‘Absolute Gods’, the Battle God!]
[The Battle God has gathered all of the gods that answered Player Minhyuk’s call!]
Flash, flash, flash, flash, flash, flash, flash, flash, flash—
Huge pillars of light poured down from the sky and surrounded the Evil Incarnate. Once the light cleared away, what greeted the Evil Incarnate was more than 2,000 gods, with all of their weapons and power aiming at him.
[The assembled Gods are awaiting the orders of the Lowest God!]
This was the scene that all of the players dreamt of, but had deemed to be impossible. A scene where they could borrow the power of the gods and use it to fight the enemies.
Minhyuk, who stood in the middle of it all, raised his sword atop his warhorse and commanded, “Destroy him!”
