The hands of every single person in the world were clammy with cold sweat as they watched the conflict between Food God Minhyuk, supported by the forces behind him, and the corrupted Gods.
âDestroy the corrupted Gods.â
At Minhyukâs command, everyone moved. The first one to jump towards the enemies was Continental Emperor Ellie. She held the Great Sovereignâs Sword and had the opportunity to become the next Sword God. However, she chose to give up that opportunity for her people, remaining as an emperor. Her current level of strength was somewhere beyond that of a True God.
Ellie chased after the Fallen God of Assassins, who was moving swiftly.
âAhihihihihihihi! That guy is the fastest God. Heâs also the one with the strongest one-shot kill attackâŚâ The Corrupted God giggled mockingly. However, Ellie moved her sword swiftly to block the Fallen God of Assassinsâ dagger that was hidden from view.
Claaaaaangâ
Stabâ
Ellie even stabbed the Fallen God of Assassins in the forehead.
[Critical Hit!]
[A 4x damage has been applied!]
[You have dealt 293,378 attack damage!]
âKeuhaaaaaaaaaaaack!â The Fallen God of Assassins shrieked as his HP plummeted from Ellieâs strike. The Corrupted Godâs expression turned ugly. The God-class players and the viewers that watched this scene were in shock and disbelief.
âCrazy. 290,000 damage?â
âIs that even possibleâŚ?â
It was possible. Ellie was someone that had the power of a True God. On top of that, the Great Sovereignâs Sword also gave her a 40% increase in her critical hit rate, while increasing the damage of the critical hit by four times.
Not long after, Spear God Ben charged toward the Corrupted God with fierce momentum, who flicked her finger at Spear God Benâs head in response.
[He is someone that can resist your attacks!]
[Your attack has failed.]
Unlike Minhyuk, Spear God Ben was not completely resistant to her attacks. However, he was still able to defy her powers. The Corrupted God could not understand what just happened.
âHow come the strongmen of this era are hereâŚâ
Just when the Corrupted God was about to swing her axe down on one of the blue books that appeared in her hand, Ben threw a small stone which struck her hands.
Pingâ
Immediately after, Spear God Ben slammed into her solar plexus swiftly.
Bangâ!
[You have dealt 45,317 attack damage!]
He followed up quickly with another strike.
[You have dealt 49,441 attack damage!]
Then, Ben jumped in the air and spun, avoiding her kick all the while casting his skill.
âAbsolute Pinnacle Spear.â
Staaaaaaaabâ
Just like that, a spear pierced through the body of the Corrupted God.
[You have dealt 285,311 attack damage!]
âKyaaaaaaaaaaaack!â
The lightning strikes created by the Absolute Pinnacle Spear instantly restrained the Corrupted God and the other fallen Gods around her.
[You have dealt 275,310 attack damage!]
[You have dealt 245,131 attack damage!]
The Corrupted God could not hide her embarrassment. Even after she tried to strike Spear God Ben away, another one came at her. This time, it was a young girl, who had been chasing after their movements, and she placed her index finger on the Corrupted Godâs forehead.
[God of Snakes Mockery.]
[God of Snakes Elizabeth is mocking you!]
[All of your skills have been restricted for seven minutes.]
âE, ElizabethâŚ?â
How could the Corrupted God not know of Elizabeth? She was one of the Six Monster Gods and had the power to control the system. She was the first one that the Absolute Gods had driven away because they feared her power. Of course, she was not the same as what she used to be.
âWhy are you helping that trifling human being?!â
âHe is not someone trifling.â
Blinkâ
Elizabethâs eyes turned yellow as she said, âI serve His Majesty.â
ââŚ!â
The impact of the words that Elizabeth uttered were far greater than the appearance of the strongmen.
âGod of Snakes Elizabeth serving a measly human being? That is impossible!â
Then, Elizabeth turned around. For the first time, Minhyuk cast one of the Divine Sword skills and uttered, âThousand Swords.â
[Thousand Swords]
[Upon a successful attack, a thousand swords will indiscriminately stab the enemy with additional 50% damage!]
Staaaaaaabâ
Minhyuk stabbed the Corrupted Godâs heart with his sword. Immediately after that, a thousand unstoppable sword blades stabbed into her body.
Stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stabâ
Although the attack only had around 50% additional damage per sword, she was taking on the attack of a thousand sword blades.
âKihyaaaaaaack! Kyaaaaaaaaaack!â The Corrupted Godâs shrieks rang loudly in the entire battlefield.
Even Minhyuk was in awe of the effects of the Thousand Swords. He thought, âEven though the Divine Sword did not receive the skill level increase effectâŚâ
At this very moment, Minhyuk realized the greatness of the Sword God. The rest of the God-class players and the antagonists did not dare intervene in the fight against the Corrupted God.
âWe will only get in the way if we intervene.â
âWe should focus more on attacking the other corrupted Gods.â
Baaaaaaaaaaaaangâ
An explosion suddenly occurred where Minhyuk was, the impact forcing him to fly back. The one that did that was none other than Canvarro, the Ousted God of Magic. Canvarro was the previous generationâs God of Magic. Shortly after he was kicked out of his seat as a God, the current God of Magic Archipelo appeared and sat on the empty throne.
âFrieeeeeeeeeeend!!!â
Just as Canvarro tried to attack Minhyuk with magic again, Ali teleported in a blink and appeared right in front of Canvarro with his arms stretched forward, âFire Storm.â
Shwaaaaaaaaaaaaaâ!
When compared to an ordinary mage, Archipeloâs descendant, Ali, had a mana reserve that was deeper and his magic was stronger. His skill, which created a huge storm, easily swept Canvarro away. However, Canvarro was not someone that could easily be done in. He immediately found his balance and cast another magic in retaliation.
Staaaaaaaabâ
A Diss appeared suddenly and stabbed straight through Ali.
âUgh⌠this is my first time getting Dissed.â
It was just what Ali expected from the previous generationâs God of Magic. Canvarro canceled the raging Fire Storm in the sky and tried to stab Ali with another Diss. But thenâŚ
âExploding Corpses.â
Baaaaaaaaaaaaaangâ
Several undead fell from the sky and wrapped around Canvarro in layers before exploding. Death appeared, walking with the Death Knights, a sharp and cold glare in his eyes. Right next to him was Alexander.
[The best rankers are all gathering to fight against the Gods.]
[Itâs a very unbelievable scene. Of course, the Gods that have been kicked out and became corrupted have grown significantly weaker than they were in the past. However, they still have the power to wipe out a single kingdom on their own.]
[I feel a blazing heat warm the depths of my heart at the sight of the rankersâ teamwork.]
They were not Gods yet but they had nothing to fear since Athenaeâs best had joined forces. Meanwhile, the Corrupted God was witnessing firsthand how ridiculously strong Minhyukâs Named NPCs were. On top of their own strength, they also received the protection of Absolute Monarch Richard, the God of Buff, as well as the God of Reinforcement, giving them enough power to fight against the Gods on their own.
âKyaaaaaaack!â The Corrupted God continued to scream and shriek. With all of her power and abilities sealed for seven minutes by God of Snakes Elizabethâs power to control the system, the Corrupted God could not use her skills and was left helpless under the onslaught of their attacks.
In the end, the Corrupted God began to shed tears of blood. With her sharp teeth and gruesome face twisting horribly, she whispered evilly, âThe child that awakened me.â
âPlease say it,â Akhan answered as he continued to watch the situation while hiding himself.
The thought of the Corrupted God being in danger never even crossed his mind at all. It was because he was fully aware of the extent of her true powers.
âLet your powers dwell in me.â
âIf that is what you need.â
Akhan laughed deeply. He knew that the Corrupted God could devour the strong. Her powers would grow even stronger if she devoured those that worshiped her. Besides, it did not mean that he would be forced to log out if he was devoured.
[The Corrupted God has devoured your soul!]
[As someone that the Corrupted God has preyed upon, you will be able to gain EXP if she destroys all of her enemies.]
[However, a word of caution!]
[If the Corrupted God dies, you will receive a penalty that is several times more than a penalty for forced log out!]
âI accept.â
Immediately after that, the Corrupted God opened her huge mouth toward the sky.
Shwaaaaaaaaaaaâ
What the Corrupted God needed now was the foundation to use the power of her father, Obren. With that, Akhanâs soul got sucked into the mouth of the Corrupted God.
Gulpâ
[You have devoured your worshiper.]
[The level of your worshiper is high!]
[You have taken a step closer to activating Obrenâs Authority!]
The Corrupted God had made up her mind to show the greatest fear and frustration to this human that stabbed her with a sword on her chest.
âDamn itâŚ!â Minhyuk shouted, noticing that the situation had turned very unusual.
Not long after, a notification rang in Elizabethâs ears.
[The effects of God of Snakesâ Mockery have disappeared!]
The Corrupted God had made the effects of Elizabethâs power disappear in that instant. This meant that she could easily deal with Elizabethâs power whenever she wanted. The worst part was that Elizabeth was currently the closest to the Corrupted God. The Corrupted God opened her maw and devoured Elizabeth in one go.
âElizabeth!!!â
The Corrupted God gulped Elizabeth down. Fortunately, the death of the gods in the Battlefield of the Gods was not a real death.
âHiyaaaaa. That was delicious,â the Corrupted God said, smiling in delight as she twisted her body.
Crack, crack, crack, crackâ
With that, her figure hidden under the shell was finally revealed to the world.
Fwooooooooshâ
Black arms popped out.
This novel is available on bit.ly/3iBfjkV.
Swooooooshâ
Black bat-like wings also popped out behind her back.
Crack, crack, crackâ
Next, the skin covering her upper body cracked, black scales appearing and covering everything as a gigantic horn appeared on top of her head.
Fwoooooshâ
There were also her yellow eyes, dark skin, forked tongue and sharp teeth that seemed to fill up her mouth. The beautiful woman from earlier was now nowhere to be seen.
[The True Corrupted God has awakened!]
[All of her stats have increased by 32%!]
[Her total HP has increased by 50%!]
[Even without doing anything, she had already transcended the Gods!]
âKihyaaaaaaaaaack!â
The way the Corrupted God stretched her body was terrifying. And thenâŚ
[The Corrupted God has invoked a stronger version of the power of the one that she devoured!]
[She has used the power of the God of Snakes to control the system!]
[For three minutes, all of the NPCs that died will die a true death!]
ââŚ!!!â
âWhat kind of bullshit is this?!!!â
âW, whatâŚ?!!!â
âThis is impossibleâŚ!!!â
The situation had taken a disastrous turn. All of the players turned to look at Minhyuk only to see his stiff expression.
Stabâ
In an instant, the Corrupted God stabbed Minhyuk in the chest. Then, the Corrupted God smiled wickedly while whispering in his ears, âIâll take everything away from you.â
For the first time, Minhyuk felt a crippling fear. He was afraid that he would be deprived of his Food God class and be turned into an ordinary player. If that happened, he would no longer be able to protect his kingdom, his friends, and all of the people that believed in him. Now, more than ever, he could not afford to collapse and fall.
[The power ignores your thousand poison resistance and is digging through your body!]
[Your consciousness is starting to blur!]
Unfortunately, Minhyukâs vision started to blur. In his blurring vision, he saw the NPCs that he called himself, Ellie, the Dragon King, Raldo, Gremory, Spear God Ben, Elpis, Cerberus, and Beanie. When his eyes turned to the ground, he saw one more person.
Amidst his darkening consciousness, Minhyuk murmured weakly, âSomeone⌠please⌠please⌠help meâŚâ
With that, God began to fall. But as Minhyuk turned completely unconscious, a slightly inaudible voice rang out weakly, ââŚTake some rest.â
That voice belonged to none other than the ego of the being that resided in the Puzzling Seasoning Jar, the very same voice that was usually playful and always cursing. However, that voice was now solemnly reciting, âAwaken my sealed power through Kronadâs Necklace.â
***
Thudâ
The entire world gulped dryly as they watched God, Minhyuk, fall down on the ground. At the same time, the Corrupted God, in her full disastrous form, looked back at her enemies and smiled a gruesome and hideous smile.
âHiiiiiiiiiiikâŚ!â
âU, uwaaaaaaaaaahâŚâ
ââŚâ
Even the NPCs that Minhyuk had summoned were taking a step back away from her.
âWe have to stop her! Do whatever we have to do! Just stop her!!!â
The God classes and the antagonists all rushed towards the Corrupted God. Although Minhyuk was supposed to be their enemy, he stood up and fought for them. So, they wanted to help him protect those that were precious to him.
Thwackâ
However, an unbelievable scene unfolded the moment the Corrupted God flicked her finger. Dozens of books appeared in the sky. At the same time, dozens of daggers appeared and pierced through the dozens of books that appeared.
Stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stabâ
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bangâ
âN, noâŚâ
Another wave of God classes lost their qualifications. The Corrupted God smirked, vowing to take away everything from that man. She was someone that had inherited the powers of the great Obren and was granted with the âEvil Godâs Bookâ.
Obren was hailed as the Evil God. He had several books with varying powers and authorities. The Evil Godâs Book that the Corrupted God had received was nothing but a small fraction of Obrenâs powers. However, even if it was only a bit of his power, it was enough to make the Absolute Gods hold their breaths in trepidation.
In the sky above everyone, hundreds of books appeared. On these books were the names Ben, Ellie, Elpis, Gorfido, Cerberus, and many more. With a swing of the Corrupted Godâs hands, hundreds of daggers moved to stab the books.
ââŚ?â
However, the hundreds of daggers stopped just right in front of the books.
Snapâ
The sound of a finger snap rang out, and all of the daggers disappeared into thin air. All of the people present were looking at the scene incredulously. The hundreds of books that the Corrupted God summoned were instantly reabsorbed by tens of thousands of books emitting black light. Then, the system notifications rang in everyoneâs ears.
[The cruelest, greatest, and most sacred One has awakened to the world!]
[The Gods called him the Evil God.]
[The Evil God was known as the greatest among the Six Monster Gods.]
[The Evil Godâs name was Obren.]
ââŚFa, Father,â the Corrupted God said, her eyes shaking with fear.
Standing in front of her was the man that fainted just a few moments earlier. However, his appearance had changed. His hair had grown as long as his waist, fluttering behind him with a black sheen. Even his skin had turned black. Contrary to the darkness that surrounded him, the manâs eyes had turned golden.
The one hailed as the most dangerous and greatest said, âOh my.â
Flinch!
The Corrupted God unknowingly shrinked at the manâs words. Everyone focused on the manâs lips, their bodies trembling in nervousness at the Evil Godâs descent. All of them were wondering what the Evil God would say.
Obren was the one that had been sleeping in the seasoning jar. His mouth then parted to speak, âThis childâŚâ
A freezing coldness appeared in Obrenâs golden eyes.
