Chapter 645: The Battlefield of the Gods
Battlefield of the Gods.
More than 500 God-class players and high rankers that were proceeding as God’s Antagonists appeared in the area, as a notification rang in their ears.
[The second battle in the Battlefield of the Gods has begun!]
At the same time, Evron, one of the Corrupted Twin Gods, roared loudly and it shook the world.
“Graaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
The roar was so loud that it almost caused the players’ eardrums to rupture, while strength drained from their body.
[Corrupted Roar]
[All of your stats will decrease by 24%!]
[Your physical attack and defense will decrease by 24%!]
[Your attack hit rate will decrease by 33%!]
[You have fallen into the Abnormal Status: Fear!]
[Your AGI has dropped by 10%!]
[Your total HP Volume will decrease by 80%!]
“…It just started but… what’s this?” One of the God class players murmured. Just when they realized that they were not even given time to prepare, Evron raised his axe to the sky and slammed it down on the ground.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
Hundreds of bloody red energy bloomed in the sky, following the movement of the axe, and slammed down on the God-class players and the antagonists like lightning bolts from dark clouds.
[You have received 33,697 attack damage!]
[You have received 28,361 attack damage!]
[…31,411…]
“Keuhaaaaaaack!”
“Keoheooooook!”
“Aaaaaaaaaack!”
It was just a single attack, but it was catastrophic. The powerful force of the attack instantly pulverized several God-class players and antagonists. However, those that remained started to prepare for battle. They were the top players in the world! This would not faze them!
The God-class players that played support were immediately evacuated to the safest place that they could find. They were tasked to create items that only someone at the God-rank could create, like buff parchments, buff potions, and things that could give the others excellent defenses.
As they were doing that, the rest who were more focused on attacking would get into a general attack formation and charge in unison. For boss mobs, it was important to drain their HP right at the beginning.
A powerful mana wave fluctuated in the area surrounding Ali, his golden hair fluttering behind him as he held his golden staff high above him while he summoned dozens of Disses.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
The most powerful magical attack Diss, only castable by the highest-tiered mages, shot through the Corrupted God. The entire world, including the players and the commentators, watched with bated breaths and anticipation. Ali was the best mage in the world! They looked forward to the damage that he could deal. However, the result was different from the outcome that everyone expected.
[Diss has been nullified!]
[Diss has been nullified!]
[Diss has been null…!]
[You have dealt 7,151 attack damage!]
[You have dealt 6,614 attack damage!]
“…?”
Ali paused in his tracks. It was only natural. The average damage that the Corrupted God dealt to the players was around 30,000. However, Ali was only able to deal an average of around 6,000 points. On top of that, since the Corrupted God was classified as a boss mob, he had a ridiculously high HP volume.
The worst was that only eight out of the 26 Disses had successfully hit. This implied that the Corrupted God’s basic attack and magical attack evasion rate was beyond the players’ expectations.
Then, Alexander stepped forward, bypassing Ali. After all, they were now in a situation where everyone was competing against each other too.
The damage that they could deal here would become the model for the damage dealt by Athenae’s global top rankers in the future. Alexander believed that he would be the prime example. After all, he was one of the players that made up Athenae’s Summit Five and the damage that he could deal to his opponent was considered to be among the best in the world.
Alexander cast his secret skill, the very same one that destroyed one of the walls of the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom during the Battle of the Thrones. His sword grew huge as it shot up toward the sky.
“Disaster Sword.”
[Disaster Sword]
[Everything will be crushed and broken, as if a disaster has befallen upon them, with the additional 11,000% attack power added to your sword!]
[It is an attack that cannot be stopped!]
Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang—
Alexander’s sword came right down on the Corrupted God’s head. However…
“Keheoook?!”
[You have dealt 20,251 attack damage!]
“…?”
Alexander was flustered. Ali’s magic and Alexander’s skill were different. Magic had cooldowns but as long as one had enough mana, then they would be able to use it again and again. Due to that, an attack skill would have a higher firepower than a magic skill.
Right now, the strongest attack skill in Alexander’s arsenal only made the Corrupted God scream. To put it simply, it was like someone saying, ‘Ah! It stings.’
“…”
The Corrupted God smacked the speechless Alexander away.
Smaaaaaash—
“Keuhaaaaaaaack!” Alexander shrieked, a mouthful of blood shooting out of his mouth.
It was at this moment that everyone realized that this was not the time to engage in a war of nerves against each other.
“Rampant Shot!”
“Dancing Sword!”
“God’s Iron Mace!”
“Meteor!”
“Corpse Explosion!”
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
Hundreds of powerful forces slammed into the body of the Corrupted God and dealt continuous damage to the boss. However, the problem was that the damage from the Corrupted God was far higher than the combined damage from their mass attack.
The moment Evron swung his axe, a powerful force swept past the allied God-class players and antagonists, and made the ground twist and turn.
“Keuheeeeeeup!”
“Crazy!!!”
“I, I think I have figured out a way to deal more attack damage!”
There was also a God of Analysis and Prudence among them. This man continued, “If you can accurately hit one of his thousand eyes then we can deal twice as much damage!”
“As expected of the God of Analysis…!”
Everyone was in awe of the God of Analysis. After all, it only took him a few minutes to grasp the weakness of the Corrupted God Evron.
They were fast approaching the five minute mark. Meanwhile, Alexander checked the Corrupted God’s HP bar and thought, ‘We were only able to cut down 15% of his HP in those five minutes. However, it’s still worth a try.’
One by one, the players were able to adapt to the battle against the Corrupted God. They avoided the other areas as much as possible and focused on the eyes.
Even if they only attacked with their basic attacks, they would be able to kill the Corrupted God as long as they dealt constant damage. They would also be able to increase their speed once the parchments and potions of the supports were completed.
‘No matter how I think about it, I believe we will be faster than Minhyuk.’
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
Baaaaaaaaaam! Baaaaaaaaaaaam—
Rumbleeeeeee—
The battlefield was filled with loud explosions. Finally, five minutes have passed.
[God has entered the battlefield!]
A huge blue translucent barrier appeared and divided the area in half as Minhyuk was warped over, bathed in bright light. Surrounding him were his powerful envoys. As they appeared, the remaining Corrupted Twin God appeared in front of them.
“Keuhaaaaaaaaaack!”
Alexander immediately looked away from Minhyuk. He did not have any time to delay now. They had to hurry up and kill Evron in front of them.
At that moment, Crazy Tyrant Akhan, who was controlling tens of thousands of wyverns in the sky, suddenly held up a staff with the head of a skeleton at the tip. Then, Akhan crushed that head.
Shwaaaaaaaaaa—
The ashes from the crushed skeleton head scattered in the air which was immediately followed by something surprising. A mysterious and dreary voice flowed out of Akhan’s mouth, “Abuha?kedoro?verua.”
The voice sounded creepy, like nails scratching a chalkboard. Although the voice was soft, it was heard by everyone present.
[The incantation to awaken the Evil God has begun!]
[No one will be able to move at the majesty of the incantation to awaken the Evil God!]
“What?”
“What the hell?”
“What’s this?”
The movements of the God-class players and the antagonists were completely restricted. All of them looked up at Akhan in confusion.
“What the hell are you doing Akhan?!”
“What bullshit scheme are you on again, Akhan?!!!”
Akhan was someone who would do anything for money. Another virtual reality game producer had promised him five billion won if he could do something to bring down Athenae.
The corners of Crazy Tyrant Akhan’s lips twitched. At his dreary voice, the eyes covering the bodies of the Corrupted Twin Gods turned black.
“Abuha?kedoro?verua.”
Another chant and the Corrupted Twin Gods raised their heads to the sky in unison.
“Keuhaaaaaaaaaaack!”
“Keuhaaaaaaaaaaaaack!”
Then, they roared loudly, making the players gulp dryly and the commentators tense with nervousness. Then, at that moment, Akhan’s eyes turned entirely black as he slammed the staff down and muttered the last of the chant.
“Vrahni?ebeo?prattu?verua.?(O’ great one, awaken.)”
Shwaaaaaaaaaaaa—
At the same time, the Corrupted Twin God that was standing on Food God Minhyuk’s side was dragged to where Evron, the other Twin God, was. The moment the Twin God touched the translucent wall, the wall melted.
Sizzle—
Then, the two great beings that were being dragged together started to merge.
“What, what is this?”
“Isn’t this completely different from the rules?”
“What the hell?!”
“Shouldn’t the battlefield be stopped at this moment?!”
All of the players clamored loudly. In the end, Akhan’s staff turned into black powder, fluttering and seeping through the merging existence. Soon, the existence that emerged was covered in a sticky liquid.
The being inside, a fair-skinned woman, stretched the membrane that enveloped her as hard as she could. She was garbed in clothes that looked similar to a white priestly robe, with an axe in one hand and a book in the other. Her face was so charming and beautiful, as if an archangel had descended and graced them with her presence. However, there was something unusual on her face; there was an additional eye on her forehead.
As she broke out from the membrane and stretched her body, she said, “Ah, that’s refreshing.”
However, the voice that rang in the ears of all of the players present sounded like the devil’s whisper. The moment she opened her eyes completely, the hundreds of eyes that were hidden all over her body opened at the same time.
“Kyaaaaaaa!”
Crack— crack—
The woman stretched her body once again, her body twisting strangely.
All of the players watched her movements with bated breaths. The same was true for the commentators and viewers that were tuned in to the broadcast.
In fact, the restrictions on the movement of the players present in the battlefield had already been lifted. However, none of them even thought of moving, tension evident in the air as they watched her every movement. Then, the notifications rang in their ears.
[The Corrupted God has awakened in the world!]
[The ones that successfully kill the Corrupted God will receive hefty rewards!]
[The Corrupted God is a being that even the Great Demons are helpless against!]
[Warning!!!]
[Danger!]
[Warning!!!]
[Danger!]
[Warning!!!]
[Dang…!]
[A majestic being that encompasses the world has descended.]
[The passive: Plundering the Gods is bestowed upon the Corrupted God!]
[The passive: Plundering the Gods can deprive those afflicted of their qualifications as God!]
“What the hell?! Deprive one’s qualifications as God?! What kind of bullshit is that?” One of the players mumbled unconsciously.
It was a natural reaction. For high rankers, their characters were both a source of pride and an asset. None of them would ever want to lose their achievements. On top of that, they had always received praise as one of the God-class players up until this moment. And yet, the notifications were telling them that they would be deprived of their qualifications?
“Ha…”
It was so ridiculous that all that player could do was scoff. But then, the eyes of the Corrupted God turned to him.
Giggle—
“…”
The Corrupted God laughed. That was when the players saw that unlike her beautiful appearance, her teeth were sharp and pointed, like that of a piranha. It was grotesque. She grinned viciously, whispering like a devil, “Curious?”
“…”
“Then, I’ll show you.”
Then, she raised her hand holding the axe to the sky. Everyone’s eyes followed the movement of her hands. Immediately after, she slammed the axe down on the small book in her other hand.
Slaaaaaaam—
The moment the axe struck the book, blood dripped down and covered her hand.
Drip, drip, drip, drip—
At the same time…
“Keuhaaaaaaaack!” The player that she made eye contact with screamed, his body twisting.
“W, waaaaaaaah! Aaaaaaaaaack!”
Then, blood started pouring out of that player’s chest. None of the people that witnessed the scene could move. Fear gripped their bodies, and they were afraid that they would be targeted next. Then, a horrifying set of notifications rang in the ears of everyone present in the area.
[The God of Sewing has started to lose his divine power!]
[Once deprived of his divine power, the God of Sewing’s God class will be revoked.]
“…”
“…”
“…”
Not long after, the Corrupted God cackled, while she continued to strike her little book.
Slam, slam, slam, slam—
“Keuaaaaaaack! Aaaaaaaack! I, I don’t want to… No!!! I worked hard to get this, this God class!!!”
The player fell on the ground, squirming and struggling as if he would be able to stop the process. However, blood continued to pour down his chest. The screaming man continued to struggle, his voice sounding increasingly desperate and listless as he murmured, “…Please, stop.”
[The God of Sewing has been forced to log out.]
[The God of Sewing has been deprived of his qualifications to become God.]
“…!”
“…!”
“…!”
“…!”
“Kyahahahahaha! Kyahahahahahahaha!”
As the grating and horrendous laughter echoed in the area, everyone realized that an unprecedented catastrophe had befallen Athenae.
