Chapter 647: The Battlefield of the Gods_Leveling Up Through Eating

Chapter 647: The Battlefield of the Gods

 Everyone had been stunned after seeing the Corrupted God run amok.

 [What is the Food God doing? Isn’t the Food God there? Why is he not doing anything to help the other yers when they are so terrified?]

 One of the yers asked a very reasonable question, to which several other yers answered.

 [The Food God is also afraid. If the Food God got deprived of his God ss then it would be a total loss for him. Losing that would also mean losing all of the skills that he possessed. If that happens, then Minhyuk will no longer be able to reign as a king.]

 [That’s right. The Food God may be strong as a God, but can he fight against the Corrupted God?]

 [If we look at it in the worst possible view, then we can say that the Food God, who has the qualifications to be a True God, is waiting on the sidelines. If the Corrupted God killed all of the God-ss yers and antagonists here, then he would eventually be the victor of the Battlefield of the Gods.]

 Everyone made their own guesses and assumptions. After all, the Food God did not jump into battle like they wanted him to.

 However, their assumptions were still wrong. Food God Minhyuk was swiftly making his way through the hundreds of God-ss yers while all of the cameras were solely focused on the Corrupted God. The first person that he approached was God of Buffs Rogal.

 “F, Food God…” Rogal stuttered, his movementsing to a halt.

 ‘What is Athenae’s highest ranker, Minhyuk, doing here? Why did he leave behind the other yers who were screaming in terror back there?’

 Shake, shake, shake—

 Rogal, whose body was shaking uncontrobly, felt that everyone present would die. They would die a death that was far more horrible than imaginable, having witnessed the present situation.

 However, Minhyuk was God and he had the qualifications to be a True God. While they hoped for Minhyuk to fight for them, Rogal knew that it was just wishful thinking. There was no reason for the Food God to do something like that. All the Food God needed to do was win this battlefield. All of the yers here were just ying for themselves and their own profit alone.

 Still, Rogal sobbed with his head bowed, “If it were you… if it were you, then you might be able to stop her! Master Archer Miao’s head just exploded! She lost her God ss and now she will be trampled on by everybody, being kicked around like a pebble on the street! Can’t you please… just once… just do it once for us…?!”

 “I am going to fight.”

 At that moment, Rogal heard Minhyuk’s warm and soft voice in his ears. When he finally looked up at him, he saw the look in the man’s eyes. Minhyuk’s eyes did not contain a shred of joy after witnessing the death of the God-ss yers, nor did they contain any signs of giving up.

 “I am going to fight too. That’s why you have to lend me your strength, Rogal.”

 Rogal was flushed with an unknown emotion as he looked at Minhyuk. The man could have sat on the sidelines or run away, but here he was standing in front of Rogal begging him softly to help him. That was when Rogal saw it.

 Shake, shake, shake—

 Minhyuk was trying to hide it but failed to do so. Rogal could see that the Food God was also shaking.

 “Hoo…” Minhyuk let out a trembling breath. Seeing him like this made Rogal realize why he became a king in Athenae.

 “Food God,” Rogal said, bowing his head politely, “I will aid you.”

 At that moment, the strongest power that the God of Buffs, the very same power that Rogal was preparing to use against Minhyuk, appeared and fell on Minhyuk’s body..

 [God of Buff’s Grace]

 [All of your stats have increased by 24%!]

 [All of your skills’ levels have increased by +1!]

 [Your physical attack and defense have increased by 10%!]

 [Your fear has temporarily disappeared!]

 A powerful force surged through Minhyuk’s veins as several other God-ss yers that were preparing various things earlier, appeared behind Rogal. They were all fully aware that jumping into the frontline of that battle would guarantee the quickest death that they would ever experience. However, the Food God was now trying to take the lead and run to that gruesome battlefield.

 “I will help you too.”

 [God of Reinforcement]

 [The Continent Destroyer Sword has been reinforced by +2!]

 Then, the God of Alchemy handed a bottle of blue potion to Minhyuk.

 Pop—

 “Me too.”

 Without any hesitation, MInhyuk gulped down the potion that was handed over to him.

 [God of Alchemy’s Potion]

 [You have consumed the best potion, one that can only be made once every six months, made by the God of Alchemy!]

 [The effects of the potion can ovep with other buffs!]

 [All of your stats have increased by 22%!]

 [All of your skills’ levels have increased by +1!]

 [You can now probably use a sealed skill that was impossible for you to use before.]

 Then the God of Parchments approached Minhyuk. He handed over several parchments to Minhyuk while saying, “I have always admired you.”

 “…”

 Minhyuk did not answer. They had met as enemies on this battlefield, a situation where Minhyuk had to win against them to be a God, while they had to stop him from bing one. But right now, these people were looking at Minhyuk with small smiles on their faces. Even the otherbat God-ss yers and antagonists began to gather around Minhyuk too.

 Then, one of the antagonists said, “I usually hate the looks of the God-ss yers, but I also don’t want to see them crying and whining like that.”

 Minhyuk ced his warm hand over the man’s shoulder and looked back at everyone. At that moment, Ali and Death were being dragged by the Corrupted God.

 “Go ahead. Quickly save your friends.”

 “We’ll give you support from the rear as much as we can.”

 Minhyuk looked at them and nodded before running forward as hard as he could. One of the reasons why Minhyuk decided to jump forward was because of his friends. Ali might be an otaku but he was someone that firmly believed in Minhyuk. Death might be timid and was not good at expressing himself to others, but he was also someone very precious to Minhyuk.

 Minhyuk was just one person. Even though he was afraid, he had no choice but to run forward to protect those that were precious to him.

 ‘Instructor,’ Minhyuk thought, looking up at the sky for a very brief moment.

 ‘My beloved instructor will fight for me, with me today.’

 [Do you want to use your one chance of using Sword God Valen’s power?]

 “Yes.”

 [You have be the first yer to temporarily own two God sses!]

 [The power of the Sword God resides in your body!]

 [Your basic attack damage has increased by 700%!]

 [Your skill damage has increased by 700%!]

 [All skills rted to swordsmanship will have a +3 increase in level!]

 [Divine Sword: Thousand Swords’ seal has been lifted!]

 [Divine Sword: Ten Thousand Swords’ seal has been lifted!]

 [Divine Sword: Million Swords’ seal has been lifted!]

 Minhyuk could feel the warmth beside him as his beloved instructor’s power wrapped around him. At the same time, Minhyuk’s ck hair slowly turned white, while his eyes turned a dark shade of brown. There was also a bright light surrounding his body as he continued to run forward.

 Finally, as the Corrupted God opened her huge mouth to devour Ali and Death, Minhyuk said, “If that’s what you wish for then I will be a True God.”

 Minhyuk did not have enough time to cast a skill. All he could do was cut her with his own power.

 sh—

 [You have dealt 113,031 attack damage!]

 However, something surprising happened. A line appeared at the ce where Minhyuk shed the Corrupted God.

 Swoooooosh—

 The Corrupted God’s face was filled with disbelief as she touched the line on her body. When she raised her hands, she saw that it was stained with green blood.

 Spuuuuurt—

 Blood gushed out of the wound as she screamed, “Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaack!”

 Even then, the Corrupted God’s expression was still filled with disbelief. So far, all of the humans around her had attacked her. However, most of them could only deal around 5,000 damage. But one swing of this human’s sword and it cut through her body. The first thing that came to her mind was fear. Then, it was immediately followed by anger and the desire to ughter and devour the man. She wondered what the man would taste like if she gobbled him up.

 The Corrupted God immediately turned to the man and flicked her finger at his head. However, the effects were repelled.

 [He is a Great God that can resist your attacks!]

 Her eyes, including those that littered all over her body shed as if they were in shock. There were pre-existing conditions for the Corrupted God to be able to use her book to deal with her enemies, and that was they had to be infinitely weaker than her. In other words, it would not work on the man.

 Then, another blue book appeared in the hands of the Corrupted God. This time, Minhyuk’s name appeared in the book. But just when she was about to strike her axe down…

 sh—

 Minhyuk once again passed by her body with another sh.

 [You have dealt 103,145 attack damage!]

 “Kyaaaaaaaaack! Eeeeeeeeek…!” The Corrupted God shrieked, gritting her teeth to reach for the book once again. But every time she reached for the book, her body would get sliced.

 Ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping—

 [You have dealt 121,561 attack damage!]

 [You have dealt 105,613 attack damage!]

 […131,513 attack…!]

 […133,114 attack…!]

 Everyone could not believe the notifications that rang in their ears. The average attack damage that most of the yers dealt using their one-shot kill skills were around 3,000~6,000 at best. As for Minhyuk, he waspletely overwhelming the Corrupted God with his sword alone. What was more surprising was that it was just his basic attack damage.

 Minhyuk was very determined to keep her hands tied and away from that book. He could not guarantee what would happen if he gave her the leeway to strike that book down. Just like that, the Corrupted God’s HP shrunk in front of everyone’s eyes.

 sh, sh, sh, sh— Ping, ping, ping, ping, ping—

 Everyone watched nervously as they watched Minhyuk send consecutive attacks toward the Corrupted God.

 The Corrupted God was Obren’s child, a God that even Athenae and the Absolute Gods feared. She was also someone that put all of the God sses at risk. Yet, the Food God was able to face her.

 aaaaaang—

 Everything was a misjudgement on their part. The Corrupted God immediately grabbed Minhyuk’s wrist. As it turned out, she did not only use her book and eyes as weapons. The Corrupted God became the Absolute Gods’ object of fear because she was very good at fighting, well-versed in handling weapons of any kind and size.

 She grinned, “Isn’t this fun?”, her sharp teeth glinting as her forked tongue peeked at the gaps of her mouth as she continued, “Then, shall I try it now?”

 Baaaaaaaaaaaang—

 A fire burst out and the book in her hand disappeared. The next moment, she punched Minhyuk’s stomach with her now free left hand.

 [You have received 201,303 attack damage!]

 “Ugh!!!” Minhyuk groaned as he flew back from the impact of the punch. However, the Corrupted God also threw her axe and nicked him in the shoulder.

 sh—

 [You have received 243,161 attack damage!]

 Just by looking at the attack damage, everyone knew that if it was the other yers, they would have already died.

 The Corrupted God smiled in interest, “Two Godsbined together, ahihihihihihihi! Isn’t this very fun? You’re definitely strong. So strong that even I feel threatened. However…”

 She licked the tip of her nose with her forked tongue and continued, “Do I even have to fight you?”

 As she said those words, Minhyuk, who was sent flying back, saw ten books, with each book containing a name, appearing in the sky above her.

 [Fallen God of Assassins Aekenon.]

 [Ousted God of Magic Canvarro.]

 [Lunatic God of Battles Kabanjarro.]

 […Forsaken Throne…]

 [God of Monarchs that has Destroyed his own Kingdom Pellod.]

 Everyone saw the same scene. Among them, someone that knew the most about Athenae’s mythology and legends shouted, “The Fallen God of Assassins, the Ousted God of Magic Canvarro and the other names written on those books! These were all Gods that had been expelled by God Athenae and deprived of their seats as Gods! They might be weakened since they have lost most of their divine powers but they are still Gods! In other words…”

 The same yer continued to murmur, “These ten Gods will descend here as our enemies…?”

 Along with those words, a ck aura appeared and slithered across all ten books.

 [The Fallen God of Assassins has appeared!]

 [The Ousted God of Magic Canvarro has appeared!]

 [The Lunatic God of Battles Kabanjarro has appeared!]

 [The God of Monarchs that has Destroyed his own Kingdom Pellod has appeared!]

 Why was Athenae afraid of the Corrupted God? It was because the Gods that were driven out, grew crazy and became corrupted, following her.

 The atmosphere in the entire area sank as all of the fallen Gods appeared and looked at Minhyuk. At the same time, hundreds of Death Knights appeared behind Pellod, the God of Monarchs that destroyed his own kingdom. Even though they had fallen, they were still Gods.

 The Corrupted God cackled loudly, “Ahihihihihihihihi?! You became a f*cking God?! So, what?! In the end, you’re still alone! Huh?! Ahihihihihihihi!!!”

 Sheughed crazily. While she identified that man as a threat, there was no one else in this ce.

 At that moment, Minhyuk’s lips moved silently.

 “I’m sorry but…”

 sh—

 [You have dealt 75,413 attack damage!]

 Blood spurted out of the back of the Corrupted God. When she turned around, she saw an unknown, yet beautiful, woman standing right behind her. The woman’s glossy and beautiful hair fluttered behind her red full te armor.

 “…that child is not alone.”

 [Continental Emperor Ellie has appeared!]

 [She has answered Minhyuk’s call and has be one of the ‘God’s Envoy’. entering the battlefield!]

 Not long after, dozens of lights appeared from behind Minhyuk.

 [Overlord Raldo has appeared!]

 [He has answered Minhyuk’s call and has be one of the ‘God’s Envoy’…]

 [Great Demon Gremory has appeared!]

 [She has answered Minhyuk’s call…]

 [The Dragon King has appeared!]

 [The Elf King has appeared!]

 [Queen Iris has appeared!]

 [Saintess Loyna has appeared!]

 [Pope Carunu has appeared!]

 Minhyuk’s real envoys were all hiding their powers and waiting in the distance as per his orders. Spear God Ben appeared in a sh of light, with his ck hair fluttering behind him. Great Pirate Gorfido also appeared, holding his Ten Thousand Chains while ring sharply at the enemies around them. Even Beyond the Heavens’ Shield Elpis appeared with his sword pointed at the corrupted Gods.

 “Graaaaaaaaaa!”

 “Roaaaaaaaar!”

 “Graaaaaaaaaar!”

 The Cerberus, Love, Hope and Happiness roared and showed their majesty as Hell’s gatekeeper. God of Snakes Elizabeth also appeared while looking at the corrupted Gods with a cold and sharp re.

 “Oiiiiiiiiiiink!”

 In front of Minhyuk, Supreme Divine Beast Beanie appeared.

 “We will stick with you until the end.”

 “We will trust you and fight with you.”

 “Give us your order, Food God.”

 Behind Minhyuk, those that ran away earlier out of fear from losing their God ss, as well as the antagonists, stood next to each other looking at Minhyuk, with shining eyes.

 Minhyuk turned around and said to everyone that stood by his side, “Destroy the corrupted Gods.”
