Rex had obtained and manipulated the episode: God of Death and the Hell Corps’ Invasion. Right now, he was forced to watch his almost 300,000-strong troops get trampled on and destroyed in less than a minute, by a gigantic, 50 meter tall, Supreme Divine Beast Beanie wearing white priestly robes.
[You, who have taken over the God of Death’s power, have lost over 300,000 Hell Corps!]
[The God of Death is a harsh and cruel being!]
[Two points from all of your stats will be deducted and destroyed!]
Rex almost lost his composure at the sound of the notifications in his ears. It was not Hanwoo but Supreme Divine Beast Beanie that used the charge? It had turned into Beanie Charge?! However, he forced himself to calm down.
‘This is just the beginning.’
He was just caught off guard by Beanie’s sudden attack. Rex still had millions of troops in his Hell Corps and he could still use the power of the God of Death. Besides, he had no reason to be afraid, when he had two Sword of the Gods with him.
‘Based on what I have researched and analyzed, Spear God Ben will not be able to beat a single one of the Sword of the Gods.’
To Rex, Spear God Ben was just a half-baked god. However, Ben had been able to temporarily exert the power of a true god by using an unidentified spear, whereas the Sword of the Gods were existences that could rival true gods.
‘It will take some time for the elites of the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom to gather.’
Rex was a very thorough and careful man. He was aware that the main pillars and executives of the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom had some schedules to attend overseas. After all, they needed to engage in several external activities to seize stronger power and greater influence. Rex also knew that Ben, who was acting as a temporary commander, was leading some of the kingdom’s troops for some training.
‘This is all because of your arrogance and conceit.’
The Beyond the Heavens Kingdom had grown into a kingdom where no other kingdom, empire or organization could touch them recklessly. However, that was also the reason why they had neglected their security.
Also, there was no way that they could imagine that this would happen, right? Besides, there were plenty of nations that hoped to forge friendship and diplomatic relationships with the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom. It seemed like the kingdom had thought that these nations would come quickly to their aid. However, Rex had set up the ‘Slaughterer’s Circle’ to prevent any support troops from entering the kingdom.
[Beyond the Heavens Kingdom’s Supreme Divine Beast Beanie has played a big role just now.]
[I have no idea what in the world is happening right now but what I do know is the fact that there are currently no major executives inside the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom.]
[It also seems like Food God Minhyuk is nowhere to be seen.]
The commentators also believed that the situation was very bad. In fact, the people and troops of the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom were actually at a loss.
But then, at that moment, someone started to climb up the stairs. This someone was none other than the boy who was just eating a bowl of ramyeon earlier. Then, the boy shouted, “I!!! Am!!! Conir!!!”
“…”
“Conir will be the temporary commander of Beyond the Heavens Kingdom!!! Everyone, follow Conir!!! Charge!!! Charge!!! Everyone, eat ramyeon and charge!!!”
“Are, are we really going to charge?!”
“I am Conir!!! Grandpa Ben always said this!!!”
“Sir, Sir Conir… Please…”
Ramyeon Boy Conir raised his sword and shouted those words at the top of his lungs the moment he stepped foot on the ramparts.
Seeing this, Rex smiled in satisfaction. He thought, ‘It seemed like all of the talents of Beyond the Heavens Kingdom are out?’
He could not help but laugh.
‘They actually placed an intellectually-challenged boy in the position of a commander? It’s time to launch a full-on attack. We can pierce through the gates of the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom in one go!’ Rex judged that to be the case.
However, the truth was Jarrod was standing behind Conir. Jarrod was known as the God of Tactics and was the former Tactic Star. He was currently the tower master of the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom’s Tower of Knowledge, and was working on several tactics and strategies during his free time. With someone like Jarrod on their side, the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom would never be caught off guard. They had always been vigilant and careful.
‘Everyone can leave this place disappointed because the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom is fully prepared.’
Jarrod looked back at Park and called out, “Sir Park.”
“Yes,” Park, who was now the commander of the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom’s First Knight Order, answered.
However, he was shocked by Jarrod’s following remarks, “All of you, follow Conir’s orders.”
“Yes? Are you sure?” Park asked, unable to hide his fluster at Jarrod’s words.
“That’s right.”
Park obviously held great respect and admiration for Conir. It was because Conir was someone that had skills in swordsmanship that even Park could not dare to underestimate. However, everyone knew that Conir was a boy with an intellectual disability. His commanding skills were not enough to lead the Beyond the Heavens troops.
However, Jarrod’s expression was firm.
“I understand,” Park answered, fully trusting Tactic Star Jarrod. So, he declared, “All of you shall follow Sir Conir’s orders! You have to absolutely follow each and every single order of Sir Conir!”
“I am Conir!!! Are you really going to follow Conir?!!!”
“I will make them follow you!!!”
Conir felt his heart tremble at those words. He was a simple boy that loved to cook ramyeon. However, every time he saw their temporary commander Ben, and his hyung and king, Minhyuk, say words like, ‘Destroy them.’ or ‘Wipe out the enemies.’, he always thought that they were cool. Now was his chance to do the same.
However, the people and the soldiers were fraught with confusion.
“W, what?! We have to follow Sir Conir?!”
“What in the world are you saying?!”
Of course, all of them respected and loved Conir. However, this was an emergency. They could not understand why he was placed in such a position.
“I am Conir!!! Everyone, open the gates and charge!!!”
“…”
“…”
“…”
The walls were the most efficient shield to defend against enemy attacks. Because of that, everyone deemed that it was much more advantageous to fight the battle and attack their enemies from the walls. To their fright, Conir had chosen to disregard that advantage. Still, the confused soldiers recalled Park’s words. So, they opened the gates and followed Conir’s orders.
Creak, creak, creak, creak, creak—
“U, uwooooooooooooh!”
“For, for Beyond the Heaveeeeeeeens!”
“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
Around 500,000 Beyond the Heavens’ soldiers opened the gates and tried to charge forward fiercely. But then, Black Dragon Vormon released another bombardment of magical attacks from the sky above them.
“N, no! Not like this! Conir’s order is canceled! Everyone retreat! Protect the walls!!!”
“…U, uwaaaaaaaaaah!”
“Waaaaaaaaaah!”
“Retreaaaaaaaaat!”
“Retreaaaaaat!”
The soldiers quickly crept back into the safety of the castle walls. The commentators, Rex, the Hell Corps, and even Black Dragon Vormon looked at them incredulously.
“???”
“???”
PD Kim Daeguk, who was watching everything from inside the walls of the castle, mumbled, “Are they crazy…? Why did they give Conir the right to command?”
Conir might be an excellent swordsman, however he was obviously a poor commander.
“Sir, Sir Conir has to step down!”
“Commander Park! Please quickly get Sir Conir out of here!”
“Ahhhhhhh! This is the end of Beyond the Heavens!”
The people and soldiers grew frustrated. All they could do was sigh when they saw Conir shouting, ‘Open the gates! Go to war!’ once again.
At that moment, a dreary and arrogant voice rang in PD Kim’s ears.
“Fufufufufu. Conir, you’re doing a great job. Thanks to your excellent tactical advance and retreat, the enemies will soon charge recklessly towards the gates.”
When he turned to look at the direction of the voice, he saw someone wearing a dark robe over their head. There was a very suspicious round thing twitching from around the guy’s hips, as well as some white and fluffy dog fur escaping from the gaps of the hood of his robe.
‘Trap Specialist Bichor…?’
To be exact, the being was the bichon that followed Minhyuk to the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom.
PD Kim Daeguk immediately turned to look at the inner walls of the kingdom. There, he saw a mysterious wire. It seemed like it was something that Bichor had installed unbeknownst to everyone present.
***
Kronad was left in despair after receiving a direct hit from Obren, ‘Obren, it seems like you truly resent us…’
Even after a very long time had passed, Obren was still hell-bent on killing Kronad, ready to deal the killing blow at any given moment.
Kronad could feel that every bone in his body had been crushed and broken from the impact of the attack. It was just a single attack, yet it rendered him completely useless and unable to fight.
‘I can’t use my right arm any more.’
Kronad’s right arm had been burned and charred after just holding the Sacred Papal Sword once. In other words, once he lost hold of the Sacred Papal Sword, he would no longer have any other chance to wield it anymore.
“Kill, kill Obren!!!”
“Obren!!! We’re sorry!!! We are going to awaken you and release the seal that we have placed upon you!!!”
“Sob, sob, sob!!! Obren! Please forgive us!!!”
Kronad saw the paladins, popes, and saints scream as they charged forward to kill the Berserk Obren of the Past. It was only by accomplishing it, that the Obren with Minhyuk will be able to awaken.
‘He’s different from us.’
Because of that, Kronad was sure that the man would be able to show Obren the true meaning of the word ‘friend’ and give him all of the love and care that he deserved.
‘We want you to be happy even if that means that we have to go to hell.’
This was Kronad’s wish.
“Ugh!” Kronad groaned. He tried to move his body but it would not listen to him at all.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
A simple attack from Obren’s Evil God’s Books easily annihilated the strongest paladins of each religion. They turned into ashes and disappeared into hell without being able to do anything.
“Aaaaaah… Obren… you poor and pitiful soul. Please kill us until your hatred from what we did to you in the past has appeased…” One of the saintesses knelt down and placed her hands together in prayer. However, her neck was stabbed by the dagger in Obren’s hands.
Shwaaaaa—
“Shut up!”
Search bit.ly/3iBfjkV for the original.
The Berserk Obren of the Past had nothing but the desire to kill all of the people here. Obren had already killed around 30% of the people here. However, he did not stop. He wanted to wipe out everyone here.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom—
Millions of Evil God’s Books floated and scattered in the sky above them. If this attack falls, then everyone would die here. To be exact, everyone would be dragged down to hell without being able to give Obren a new chance at life.
“Ah, aaaaaaaaah…!”
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
“It’s… over…”
Everyone was left in despair. Then, at that moment, Kronad recalled the man that came here. He thought, ‘We… have to send him back…’
If that man stayed here, then he would die. He could not die in this place. At the very least, they had to save Obren’s true friend and send him out. Kronad looked around, trying to find the man. That was when he saw him walking towards the Sacred Papal Sword.
“Wh, what…?!”
Kronad could not understand. From what he knew, the man was a good chef and a king of a nation. Even though he was excellent in his own fields, that did not mean that he could hold and wield the Sacred Papal Sword. That sword could only be held by the one that received Athenae’s ‘recognition’, and was someone with high ‘holy power’.
Kronad watched as Minhyuk’s outfit changed with every step that he took. He watched as the man donned a splendid helmet and a white papal robe lined and embroidered with gold. He also saw how a bell appeared on the man’s left hand.
“N, no…! Stop!!! You’ll go to hell if you touch that sword… Urk!!!” Kronad shouted as he spat a mouthful of blood.
Kronad’s shout caught everyone’s attention. When they saw what was happening, they also hurriedly shouted to stop Minhyuk.
“No!!!”
“Do not touch that sword!!!”
“Please stop!!!”
Everyone believed that Minhyuk was nothing but a chef at best. A chef would not be able to hold that sword. Besides, what difference would it make, even if he could hold that sword?
Then, Minhyuk grabbed the hilt of the sword in front of their eyes.
Graaaaaab—
Booooooom—
A bright and pure white light burst out and covered the entire area. Everyone could only close their eyes from the sudden appearance of the blinding light.
Then, a shocking set of notifications rang in their ears.
[The Sacred Papal Sword has recognized its new owner!]
[The one recognized by the Sacred Papal Sword rings Pope Kronad’s Bell!]
Diiiiiiiing—
Diiiiiiiiiiiiing—
Diiiiiiiiing—
Pope Kronad’s Bell rang crisply and loudly in this area filled with despair.
[The crippling fear that dragged you down has disappeared!]
[Your Holy Power has increased by 13%!]
A brilliant light covered the man’s body as he glared at Obren sharply. Then, he said, “Obren, let’s go home.”
The pope’s bell floated above Minhyuk’s head, both of his hands grabbing the Sacred Papal Sword as he dashed forward.
Dash, dash, dash, dash—
“…!”
“…!”
“…!”
The white halo of light that surrounded Minhyuk’s body made him look like a god in the eyes of the people present. Even the white papal robe matched the style of the golden sword in his hands. The sharp look on his eyes as he glared at Obren also gave him an air of arrogance.
“Uwoooooooooh!!!”
The Berserk Obren of the Past sensed danger from the man that dashed toward him. At that moment, the millions of books that were floating in the sky above them all turned and targeted Minhyuk.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
Then, millions of attacks bombarded and devoured Minhyuk. However, none of the attacks reached Minhyuk. He was being protected by a transparent barrier produced by the Sacred Papal Sword.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
The surrounding area was being flipped over and destroyed but Minhyuk still continued to run. When he finally reached Obren, he immediately slashed with his sword. At the same time, millions of lightning bolts fell from the sky.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
The lightning bolts struck the millions of ‘Evil God’s Books’ and burned them to ashes.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
It did not stop there. The lightning bolts also devoured the Berserk Obren of the Past.
“Ah…”
Pope Kronad stared at Minhyuk, the man that created millions of lightning bolts that fell from the sky. Then, he watched as Minhyuk took a step toward Obren.
Shwaaaaaaaaa—
Minhyuk cut down Obren, who was being devoured by countless lightning bolts.
Kronad, the popes, the paladins, the priests, and the saints that witnessed the scene realized that they had witnessed the appearance of the ‘god’ of the new world.
