Chapter 934

Chapter 934

Compared to other people, Nerva was more knowledgeable about the Origin Authority. The reason was simple: He longed for it and wanted it more than anybody else. In the past, Nerva had the opportunity to obtain the Battle Gods Origin Authority, a power that belonged only to the three greatest Absolute Gods.

Back then, the Battle God had told him to stand before his statue, and he would bestow it upon him. However, a bizarre and absurd situation unfolded. The Battle God suddenly told him he had lost his Origin Authority. Nerva remembered feeling indescribably lost at the time. From what he heard, the Battle Gods Origin Authority was incredible.

It helps the gods recognize and obtain knights.

It was completely different from the power that could help strengthen someone else. From what he had heard, it had the power to allow whoever used it to recruit new and strong subordinates.

This authority can develop and grow to six levels.

And from what Nerva knew, the effects of the authority were shocking enough, even if it only experienced the first development.

The One Who Breaks Through Limits was the power that the Battle God had given him since he lost the Origin Authority. To break through ones limits, the only thing that they needed to do was to break down their walls. Since the Battle God could not give him the Origin Authority, he opted to provide Nerva with the power to develop and obtain a strong knight.

Just recalling that time was enough to make Nerva feel highly regretful. It had always been running around his head since that time. He often thought, World did the Origin Authority disappear to?

But now, the Beyond the Heavens Emperor Minhyuk smirked and asked him, By any chance, do you know about the Origin Authority?

...

Nervas anxiety soared when he heard the question. He thought that perhaps Minhyuk knew about it because he was friendly with the Absolute Gods or learned about it from Obren. But then, a thought flashed in Nervas head that made everything blank.

Why did he start talking about the Origin Authority here?

But Minhyuk opted to remain silent at this moment. He did not say anything anymore.

The Battle God also realized that something very unusual was happening. He had been completely unaware of the location of the God and Knight since the day he lost it.

Not long after, the Battle God said, Tell me your chosen ability.

Nerva, who was unable to hide his anxiety, said, Please allow The One Who Breaks Through Limits to grow.

The Battle God nodded before turning to look at Minhyuk. Minhyuk smiled faintly and said, Battle God, based on what you said, the only thing that you can help me grow is the power you own. Am I right?

Thats right.

Minhyuks grin widened. When Nerva saw the smile that almost ripped Minhyuks face, he realized, I was tricked!

Nerva had promised to give Minhyuk two million platinum in exchange for his agreement to the Battle Gods proposal. He also pledged to turn over the authority over a territory that was probably worth millions, perhaps even tens of millions, of platinum. But was that all? Of course not. He also approved the recruitment of talents from his empire, except for the Swords of the Gods. All of these would deal a massive blow to the Luvien Empire.

Even so, Nerva still promised without any hesitation. This was because he knew that he would be able to obtain a much better reward than Minhyuk. But all of his assumptions were wrong.

Then, please allow the Origin Authority: God and Knight to grow.

...!

Nervas eyes almost rolled when the thing he had dreaded turned into reality. He could tell Minhyuk had already finished setting up the board for him when he heard the Battle Gods proposal. Between Nerva and Minhyuk, the one who should not have agreed and accepted the Battle Gods offer should have been him, not Minhyuk.

I shouldnt have agreed and accepted!

Even the Battle God was quite shocked. Why was the Origin Authority: God and Knight, which he had lost before, suddenly appearing here? But Minhyuk just shrugged his shoulders in answer.

Just like that, the rewards for both Minhyuk and Nerva were given out.

[You have obtained the Chobok Samgyetangs Ingredients Infused with Gods Power.]

[God and Knight has leveled up!]

[God and Knight has leveled up!]

***

Joy Co. Ltd.s Special Players Management Team.

[Warning!]

[Warning!]

[Warning!!!]

[The player who has leveled up an Origin Authority has appeared!]

Team Leader Park Minggyus pupils were shaking, while Lee Minhwa was slack-jawed from shock. They stared at the dozens of monitors that flashed red from the warning.

At that moment, the doors to the Special Players Management Teams office slammed open as President Kang Taehoon rushed in.

Whats going on?!

President Kang Taehoons phone had an app that connected him to Joy Co. Ltd.s various teams. This app would immediately notify Taehoon if a warning were issued and which department it came from.

Team Leader Park turned to look at him and said, God and Knights level has increased by two.

What?! President Kang Taehoon, who was not easily shocked, was left astonished when he heard this.

He immediately poured sliced carrots, onions, scallions, and glutinous rice into the samgyetangs soup and left it to boil. It did not take too long for him to finish cooking a delicious and savory chicken porridge. Minhyuk quickly blew on the chicken porridge filled with colorful vegetables and took a huge bite.

Munch, munch Kghhhk!

The thick yet lightly flavored chicken porridge delighted his mouth. Then, he added some chopped kimchi to his porridge before eating again.

Munch, munch

Minhyuk smiled happily. I have been listless since summer started, but I feel like I have regained my energy!

The notifications immediately came after that.

[You have eaten the ingredients for Chobok Samgyetang.]

[You have gained 3,000,000,000 EXP.]

[You have leveled up.]

[You have leveled up.]

[Your charisma has increased by 10%.]

[All of your stats have increased by 0.8%.]

[For one week, your energy and vitality will not decrease, and you will not tire.]

Although Minhyuk failed to inherit the Battle Gods position as his descendant this time, he felt that the rewards he received were still reasonably satisfactory, mainly because his God and Knights level had increased by two.

At that moment, Haze said, Your Majesty, the Luvien Empire has sent over two million platinum and a contract transferring the ownership of the Aveid Territory.

Minhyuk nodded and thought, So, all thats left is recruiting those three talents, huh?

There was one talent in Minhyuks mind. This man was none other than the commander of the Swords of the Gods First Knight Order, Commander Don.

At the same time.

Valentino, who was covered in blood, was dragged by the ropes that tied his wrists and sent floating above the Luvien Empires plaza.

[You have been deprived of your qualifications as a member of the Swords of the Gods Knight Order!]

[You have been stripped of your title as a Count of the Luvien Empire!]

[Your execution will commence soon. One execution will be equivalent to three deaths!]

Valentino was now being publicly executed. He had already been prepared for this. After all, he had chosen to become the God of Shields instead of obeying Nervas orders.

Three deaths and my removal from the Swords of the Gods? Thats funny.

Valentino chose to obey Minhyuks order. He used Bentinos Wall to prevent damage from reaching many people, which was far more beneficial than protecting only Nerva. If the emperor he served was a proper and righteous one, they might have said that their judgment was wrong and that what Valentino did was right. But this was Nerva. And Nerva chose to execute him for this reason. In Nervas eyes, even the Swords of the Gods were expendable.

Id rather go to another empire. No, Ill gather all the tanker players and build my kingdom!

Since becoming a god, Valentinos dreams had grown bigger. But then, Nervas aide stepped forward and said, This man, Valentino, is guilty of disobeying His Majesty Nervas orders!

Murmur, murmur

Valentino listened to the crowd's murmurs and waited for his judgment with closed eyes.

He is guilty of treason!

...?

That was when he realized that something was wrong.

He is guilty of exchanging secret information with the Beyond the Heavens Emperor!

...!

Valentinos eyes snapped open.

What- what- what is this bullshit?!

That was right. Nerva was trying to cut Valentinos path of survival and trampling on him so he could not become the true God of Shields.

You will be executed for your crimes. And since you are a foreigner, you are sentenced to prison and will be left inside the Luvien Empires Prison of Indolence for one year!

...!!!

The Prison of Indolence was considered hell for both players and NPCs alike. Ones HP would slowly be eaten away once they were sent inside that place. Being sentenced to this prison was a punishment given to traitors and felons.

Proceed with the execution!!!

God of Shields Valentino, the greatest tanker in existence, seemed to be set to disappear from Athenae forever.
