Chapter 931
Minhyuk saw the God of Shooting Rudolph consume the dish produced by Everyones Happiness that appeared in front of him. And it was not just him. The God of Lightning also chose to eat the dish that Minhyuk had sent over.
In this Succession Ceremony, everyone could choose whatever side they wanted to stay on. No matter what they decided, they would not belong to the Luvien Empire or the Beyond the Heavens Empire.
The original purpose of this succession ceremony was to focus on how they could use their abilities and show that they could lead their troops well. It was not supposed to be a competition on how active each side could be.
Of course, choosing Minhyuks side would prevent them from joining the Luvien Empire. However, if they could achieve a credibility rating that exceeded 50%, then they would be able to receive additional rewards.
These two people felt the rewards would be far sweeter if they joined Minhyuks side. Of course, it was just these two. Among the people Minhyuk chose, the God of Ice was the only one who refused the dish before her.
[Unlike the Battle Gods Sword, you have not moved to prove your qualifications as the Battle Gods Descendant!]
[The damage your allies are receiving has already accumulated, yet you remain on the sidelines!]
[Your Credibility Rating is -36%!]
Meanwhile, the attacks of the gods grew even fiercer, forcing their credibility rating to fall even lower. However, Minhyuk did not care about it. He stared at the glossy and red spicy braised chicken that was sitting nicely inside the cauldron lid.
Hiyaaa
After seeing how well the sauce had boiled, Minhyuks saliva was about to drip down. The first thing he did was grab a chicken leg. A small smile appeared when he took a bite of the tender meat, which had been cooked over high heat. He only took one bite to separate the bones from the meat.
Kghhk Minhyuk sighed in admiration as he gobbled up the chicken leg.
Next, he turned his attention to the potatoes. He gently scooped some of them, put them in his bowl filled with rice, and sprinkled some of the red sauce on top. Then, he quickly mashed the potatoes and mixed everything in the bowl. After that, he scooped a considerable mouthful and put it in his mouth. The spicy and slightly sweet sauce, the well-mashed potatoes, and the rice met and created a fantastic harmony of flavors.
While Minhyuk was busy trying to finish his food swiftly, a notification rang in his ears.
[Twenty minutes have passed since the start of the Third Wave!]
Minhyuk quickly looked around. The entire hall had almost turned into ruins with the fierce attacks from the gods. As a thick cloud of dust flew and covered the area, another notification rang in Minhyuks ears.
[Your Credibility Rating is -54%!]
The worst situation had come. But all hope was not yet lost. Minhyuk saw that everyone had finished eating the dish created by Everyones Happiness.
Ali.
Roger! Ali shouted as he immediately used his Compression Magic, gathering together everyone who ate the dish that Minhyuk had cooked.
A bright light appeared and enveloped those that had been gathered, hiding them from everyones sight.
***
The God of Magic said, Alis credibility rating has dropped to -50%.
Deaths the same too.
The Succession Ceremony was also very important to the gods. This was because this ceremony was a way for them to give their chosen successors their position. The God of Magic and the God of Death were very fond of their chosen. But there was nothing that they could do; their descendants credibility rating was at -50%.
I understand that they wanted to use the Food Gods cooking to receive cooking buffs to help them defend against our attacks. But I believe that was the wrong choice. The God of Magic sighed sadly.
After eating what Minhyuk cooked, they could genuinely increase their credibility rating. However, there were only twenty minutes left. Even if they could defend against their attacks well, there seemed to be nothing else they could do.
And, of course, the Battle God could also see this. He thought, It was a foolish choice. This is more so the case for Minhyuk. Even if they can successfully defend against our attacks from now on, it will be tough to restore their credibility rating, especially since they have -50%. Furthermore, Nervas credibility rating has already reached 35%. Theres a clear difference between yours and his.
Minhyuk was an unusual case during this succession ceremony. Unlike others, he was set to compete against Nerva. And in this current situation, even if he tried his hardest to increase his credibility rating, Minhyuk would be deprived of his position as the Battle Gods Descendant if it fell below Nerva's rating.
I have no idea what youre thinking.
The Battle God truly could not understand. But a puzzled expression appeared on his face when he tried to look for Minhyuks figure through the thick dust cloud covering the hall from the explosion caused by the attacks sent by the God of Magic.
...Huh?
Minhyuk could not be seen anywhere in the hall. Confused, the Battle God looked around.
Whats that?
Dozens of huge boulders engulfed in flames could be seen flying toward the flight of bone dragons.
Boom, boom, boom!
Crack!
Crack!
Bang, bang, bang!
Kyaaaaaaaack!
Graaaaaaaaack!
Keuhaaaaaaaack!
Some bone dragons plummeted to the ground after their wings broke apart. Several death knights who rode on top of these bone dragons immediately moved to ride on top of the other bone dragons.
Baaaaaaaaaaaang!
...!
...!
[The Battle Gods Descendants Credibility Rating has increased by 2%.]
Not only that but the courage and power that these people displayed all stemmed from Minhyuk. As a result, Minhyuks credibility rating, which had plummeted to -50%, had already started to recover rapidly.
But Nerva was no fool. He quickly understood the situation's flow and hurriedly shouted, Attack the gods!
He ordered the men who chose to side with him during this succession ceremony to attack. Like that, Nerva began to rack up his credibility rating by attacking the gods, too. But of course, he was slower than Minhyuk, who took the initiative to attack. And since Minhyuk was the one who influenced Nerva to issue an attack order, it had its benefits.
[The Battle Gods Descendants Credibility Rating has increased by 10%.]
The attacks, which consisted of the siege weapons flying from the hawks above them, the thousands of magical attacks sent by God of Magic Ali, and the bullets shot by the God of Shooting, killed the Divine Army and those sent by the gods swiftly. And they were moving faster than Nerva and his allies. Why? Because they were at the center of the battlefield.
[The Battle Gods Descendants Credibility Rating has increased by 44%.]
[The Battle Gods Descendants Credibility Rating has increased by 13%.]
Minhyuk was doing his hardest to chase. However, unfortunate news struck him.
[Thirty-seven minutes have passed since the start of the Third Wave.]
This meant that there were only three minutes left. However, the difference in credibility rating between Nerva and Minhyuk was still at around 30%.
Interesting. The God of Summoners smiled faintly at Minhyuk and his allies, who launched a counterattack as the sky above them cracked open. At the same time, millions of monsters fell from the sky and hit those who were riding atop the hawk.
What will you do now?
The rise in their credibility rating also began to slow down with the appearance of the monsters. At that moment, Minhyuk, who had been using various skills and fiercely attacking the Divine Army troops and the undead, jumped down from the hawk. He fell on top of the bone dragons and used them as stepping stones. However, many monsters and undead blocked Minhyuk's path, but that did not stop him.
Viels Puppet Doll.
The puppet that could deal the most damage appeared before Minhyuk and paved the way for him.
[The Battle Gods Descendants Credibility Rating has increased by 45%.]
[The Battle Gods Descendants Credibility Rating has increased by 18%.]
Minhyuks credibility rating rose rapidly once again. However, the gods soon became puzzled.
But, wait
Why does it feel like hes coming this way?
The gods looked at each other.
Meanwhile, cold sweat broke out of the God of Deaths forehead. He murmured, ...You always exceed my expectations.
The God of Death had encountered and interacted with Minhyuk before. So, he could tell to some extent what the man planned. He quickly said, That guys real target is us!!! God of Magic! Focus your bombings on him!
No matter what happened, they were gods. They had to maintain their pride as a god. This meant that they could not allow their descendants to land an attack upon them.
Realizing what was happening, the Battle God broke out in cold sweat. He thought, If you attack us, then your credibility rating will experience an exponential increase. But do you think that its possible?
It was an interesting thought, a scary one, but interesting nonetheless.
At that moment, the God of Magic sent all his magical attacks on Minhyuk, and the God of Archery also moved to fire his arrows at him.
Baaaaaaaang!
Powerful explosions engulfed Minhyuk as sharp arrows dug into him. And it was not only them. Even the Divine Army had used their swordsmanship skills and focused their attacks on them.
The Battle God sighed, Your idea was great. However, theres no way that you would be able to survive such an attack.
A wry smile painted the Battle Gods face, while a triumphant one was on Nerva, who was standing below them.
***
The viewers watching through Reporter Go Eun-Ahs broadcast sighed as they watched Minhyuk get devoured by the gods intense attacks.
[Wow. Will it end like this?]
[If Minhyuk is deprived of his title as the Battle Gods Descendant, Nerva will swoop in and push him back immediately.]
[This is the end of an emerging empire.]
[It doesnt matter how strong Minhyuk is. The gods attacks were all focused on him. Do you think he will be able to survive that? Hes far too reckless.]
[In the first place, attacking the gods was already way too much for them.]
[But Minhyuk had received a new armor set, right? Wasnt that armor set really powerful?]
[Lol. Even if its defensive power is high, it cannot endure that much.]
Reporter Go Eun-Ah and the viewers all sighed in tandem. However, Eun-Ah found it a bit strange.
Why did he act so recklessly like that?
Even though he knew he would be the focus of all the attacks, why did Minhyuk continue to run? Why didnt he stop? Why? Did he make such a reckless choice because he feared being deprived of his title as the Battle Gods Descendant?
At that moment, Go Eun-Ah caught sight of a shadow of a figure within the thick cloud of dust. The figure stood firmly and relatively fine despite the onslaught of attacks.
His appearance was revealed with one wave of the God of Magics hands, who used Wind magic to clear the dust away. Minhyuks appearance was completely different from what he looked like earlier. There were black feathers in the form of a full plate armor covering his entire body. From what it looked like, the black armor, which was crushed and dented all over, seemed to have the ability to regenerate. It twitched and shook like flesh regenerating as it repaired itself swiftly and quickly.
Go Eun-Ah saw Minhyuks lips move. From what she saw, he seemed to be saying the word Transcendence.
