Chapter 828

[The Summoning of the Greatest Absolute God can summon the Battle God twice.]

This was the reward that the Battle God had bestowed upon Minhyuk, which had not been broadcast to others.

Rumbleeeeeeee—

The sky cracked open once again as a god riding a white warhorse galloped mightily amidst the raging storm, the crackling lightning, and the rumbling thunder.

Clack, clack, clack—

Everyone held their breath as the greatest Absolute God made his appearance.

[This... Was this what Player Minhyuk was aiming for?!]

[A player has summoned the strongest and greatest Absolute God among all of the Absolute Gods, the Battle God?!]

[Perhaps Player Minhyuk was given an opportunity to summon the Battle God because the Battle God had promised himself that he would answer his call.]

[Since this was something that no one knew, it will definitely be a huge variable in this battle!]

[We have to pay attention to the fact that the Battle God is the ‘God that Rules Over the Greatest and Strongest Army!’]

As an individual, the Battle God boasted a force that none of the other Absolute Gods and ordinary gods could ever compete against. However, that was not the only reason why the Battle God was hailed as the greatest Absolute God. It was because he was the God of All Armies and was the one that ruled over the greatest, and most powerful, army in existence.

With the descent of the Battle God, he emitted a powerful pressure on the Heavenly Army on the ground.

[The Battle God’s Majesty.]

[The Battle God’s Majesty takes control of all of the armies that are against him!]

[All of your stats have dropped by 14%.]

[Your attack hit rate has dropped by 40%.]

[Your physical and magical defense has dropped by 40%.]

[Your resistance to abnormal statuses has dropped by 50%.]

The 9.25 million troops that consisted of the Heavenly Army and the players all received a debuff.

Crack—!

At that moment, another lightning bolt struck the ground. When the flash of light disappeared, an army of more than two million garbed in white full plate armor appeared right behind the Battle God.

[The Jade Emperor has sent 250,000 strong Heavenly Army troops but Player Minhyuk has sent the Battle God!]

[The greatest Absolute God, the Battle God, can summon the millions of troops under his command.]

Not long after, the Battle God and his army began to sweep away the Heavenly Army that had invaded the fortress.

Crackleeee—

A blazing white flame engulfed the blade of the sword of the Battle God. As he swung his sword, the hundreds of thousands of enemy troops that blocked his path were devoured by white flames and turned into ashes.

[Edea’s Allied Forces have defeated 700,000 of the Jade Emperor Coalition Army!]

[According to the agreement made between the Battle God and the Jade Emperor, special privileges and benefits will be given to Player Minhyuk, the commander of Edea’s Allied Forces.]

[Edea’s Allied Forces have defeated 500,000 of the Jade Emperor Coalition Army!]

[According to the agreement made between the Battle God and the Jade Emperor, special privileges and benefits will be given to Player Minhyuk, the commander of Edea’s Allied Forces.]

[Edea’s Allied Forces have defeated 810,000 of the Jade Emperor Coalition Army!]

[According to the agreement made between the Battle God and the Jade Emperor...]

Even the Heavenly Army that threatened and made Edea’s Allied Forces shrink from fear were rendered helpless in front of the Battle God and his army. This time, it was the Heavenly Army’s turn to be swiftly and easily swept away.

The commentators had realized that Minhyuk intended to sweep away as many enemies as possible during the short amount of time that the Battle God could stay summoned in Edea.

Only twenty minutes had passed but more than two million of the Jade Emperor’s Coalition Army had already disappeared. On top of that, the Battle God had deliberately targeted the Heavenly Army. Meaning, all of them had already turned to ashes and disappeared a long time ago.

[The Jade Emperor is furious!]

For the first time, the Jade Emperor was furious and could barely contain himself. He had lost 250,000 of his Heavenly Army and could no longer send anymore after he agreed to Minhyuk’s proposals.

By the time the summoning duration ended, the Battle God had slaughtered three million of the enemy troops. Before the Battle God returned back to the heavens, he looked at the devastated and exhausted troops of Edea’s Allied Forces.

“The one that you believe in is doing his best for you.”

The Battle God’s words rang in the ears of the people that denied and hated the man even for a brief moment. They cheered loudly in response. However, those cheers died down the moment the Battle God disappeared.

[The Jade Emperor is furious!]

[The Jade Emperor has sent all of his envoys down to Edea!]

Crack, crack, crack—

The sky was ripped apart once again. At that moment, a talisman fell from the crack in the sky and shot toward the fortress.

Baaaaaaaaaaang—

The fortress shook.

[The battle in the land of Edea is now coming to an end.]

[The Jade Emperor has used his one and only chance to send all of his envoys all at once.]

[The Jade Emperor’s three envoys are all gods. They’re not just mere gods, they are all combat-class gods.]

“Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!”

The Jade Emperor’s Coalition Army also charged toward the fortress after realizing that the battle was now coming to an end. The walls of the fortress, which remained sturdy despite the countless attacks from the players, shook with one talisman from Daoist Heron.

Slash—

With one attack from a man that wielded a woldo, the walls of the fortress were easily destroyed. The man that cut the fortress walls was none other than Envoy Ferro.

“You’ve made the Great Heavenly Father furious.”

Up until this point, Ferro had only stood still and watched the situation knowing that doing this would lead to a massacre. Unlike Viel, Ferro and Daoist Heron were both reluctant to massacre and slaughter the residents and soldiers of Edea. They did not have any inclination or interest in killing people.

However, the Great Heavenly Father, the Jade Emperor, was now very angry. He grew furious after he was humiliated and lost 250,000 of his Heavenly Army troops all at once.

‘The Jade Emperor will descend soon.’

Before he descended, they had to force the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal, Aaron, and Zhu Bajie, along with the soldiers of Edea, down to their knees.

When the walls of the fortress fell apart, the soldiers of Edea charged forward. However, Ferro just looked at them nonchalantly.

“Uwaaaaaaaah!”

“You damn envoy bastards!!!”

“My Annie! Spare my Annie!!!”

“You bastards are no god!!!”

Thousands of soldiers charged furiously.

Swoosh—

Slash, slash, slash, slash, slash—

However, with one swing of Ferro’s woldo, the lives of thousands of soldiers ended.

“Charge!!!”

“Edea’s fall is just around the corner!!!”

At the orders of Qingdao Kingdom’s King Xu Jiaqi, the players began to charge and enter the fortress. At that moment, the players that climbed the wall caught sight of the kingdom that Edea’s Allied Forces had been protecting.

“So this is the Kingdom of Rama...”

The players were delighted when they saw the beautiful Kingdom of Rama that had been protected by the walls of the fortress since the war began. Greed stained the faces of all of the players present. They could not even see the trembling figures of the residents of Edea that were hiding behind the walls of the fortress.

At that moment, Zhu Bajie stabbed one of the players that was looking greedily at the Kingdom of Rama, with his trident.

Staaaaaab—

“Force everyone that has climbed atop the walls of the fortress down!!!” Zhu Bajie hurriedly ordered the soldiers. They had to protect the people, the residents of Edea, that were hiding behind the fortress walls.

“Hey, you boar.”

“...”

Zhu Bajie’s expression crumpled. He might be a pig but that did not mean that being called that would put him in a good mood. However, when he turned around to look at the one that called him, he could not help but freeze.

Standing right behind him was the most ferocious, cold-blooded and brutal envoy, Envoy Viel. He was someone that regarded the lives of all of the residents of Edea as insignificant as that of a bug’s life. Meanwhile, Daoist Heron and Envoy Ferro continued to sweep away the soldiers of Edea on the ground.

Zhu Bajie gripped the handle of his trident tightly.

‘I promised.’

He promised that he would protect the soldiers. He promised that the residents did not need to worry. However, the soldiers were dying and the residents were wailing.

“You bastaaaaaaaaaaaard!!!”

Zhu Bajie was also one of Edea’s powerhouses. He was a strong character that was above Level 600, possessing power that could break down mountains. In fact, legends about how he broke an entire mountain with his trident were spread all over Edea.

Slaaaaaaash—

Zhu Bajie pointed his trident at Viel.

Ping—

However, Viel stopped it with just the tip of his sword.

“Hiiiiiiiiiiik...!”

No matter how hard Zhu Bajie pushed his trident, he could not make it move any further.

“What a savage.”

Thud— thud, thud, thud— Slash—

Viel used the hilt of his sword to stab Zhu Bajie’s acupoints, stopping him from moving as he pleased.

Draaaaaaag—

After stopping him from moving, Viel grabbed Zhu Bajie by the arm and dragged him around while cutting down the soldiers of Edea that blocked his path. Not long after, Viel dealt with Aaron, the king of the Kingdom of Eden, and blocked all of his acupoints too.

Thud, thud, thud, thud, thud—

He also dragged Aaron along before throwing the two to where the residents of Edea were.

Flaaaash—

Viel moved swiftly. He charged to where Hanwoo, the Bull Demon King, was and stopped him from attacking Ferro by blocking his acupoints too. Of course, he also flung him to where Aaron and Zhu Bajie were thrown earlier.

Finally, he moved to where the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal was. Just like before, he completely overpowered Sun Wukong before blocking his acupoints.

“Ugh!”

Unable to move, Sun Wukong helplessly fell on the ground.

Viel looked around him. The kings of Edea were all rendered useless, unable to move with their acupoints pressed, while millions of the residents of the land wailed in fear.

Then, he said, “Remember this. You are the ones that killed all of your soldiers.”

Viel turned to look at Ferro and Heron with a smirk on his face and said, “Do you know why we dragged our feet in this war when it was so easy to deal with you in the first place?”

“...”

Viel looked at the four kings that he held captive.

“Because we find it interesting.”

“...!”

“...!”

“...!”

“It’s because we find it interesting to watch bugs like you twitch while you dream of fighting against the Great Heavenly Father and his Envoys.”

It was the truth. The moment the three envoys appeared, the tide was easily turned over.

“Uwaaaaaaaack!”

“Keuaaaaaaack!”

“We— we can win!!! Back o... Keok!!!”

The four kings trembled as they watched Viel grin viciously while the screams of their people rang behind them.

“The hope to win, the resiliency and insistence to never back down, and a path, albeit small, to victory. Don’t you think that it’s fun to see your faces when all of these are robbed from you?”

Viel giggled, his laugh sounding so strange and bizarre to anyone’s ears.

“This feels good.”

Yes, that was right. Viel was feeling good as he soaked in the screams of the people that he regarded as bugs.

“Haaaaaa.”

A bright smile appeared on Viel’s face as he savored the scent of blood that lingered on the battlefield.

“Unhand His Majesty right this instant...!”

Viel turned to look back at the resident that dared to interrupt him from savoring the pleasure brought to him by this battlefield.

“You are all just my playthings. I can deal with you with my finger alone.”

Baaaaaaaaang—

The head of the resident exploded. However, the explosion did not end there, like the interconnecting webs of the spider, it spread all over the place.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom—

Just like that, thousands of people died.

“You— You bastaaaaaaaaaard!!!”

Zhu Bajie’s eyes grew bloodshot, his mouth bleeding as he bit his lips tightly from the frustration and helplessness. Even Sun Wukong’s eyes were filled with helplessness and despair. However, the Bull Demon King’s eyes were different.

“That look.”

Viel took a step forward and approached the Bull Demon King. This was the man that killed Rumacar, one of the Jade Emperor’s envoys. Then, he raised his sword and smacked the Bull Demon King in the face with its hilt.

Baaaaaaang—

“Go on, show how afraid you are.”

However, there was no fear in the eyes of the Bull Demon King. In fact, he even stubbornly raised his head.

Baaaaaaaaang—

“Shouldn’t you bow down and save your people? Nope. They’re no longer your people, right?”

Baaaaaaang—

“Beg me. Worship me. Bark like a dog.”

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang—!

A madman, that was what Viel was. The crazy lunatic grabbed the face of the Bull Demon King.

Baaaaaaaang—

But then, at that moment, someone was sent flying to the sky. This someone was none other than Ferro. Alexander could also be seen chasing after Ferro.

Alexander began to push Ferro back. Perhaps out of all of the people present here, the only one that could fight against the gods was Alexander.

“Fufufufufufufufu! Look at that, someone is giving you hope over there. I don’t like that!”

Yes, that man was definitely strong. He was strong enough to kill one of the envoys. However, there was only one of him. Viel, who gripped the bleeding head of the Bull Demon King, giggled. Suddenly, Daoist Heron appeared right next to him.

Why did Heron come here? A talisman flew out of his hands and sucked in all of the residents of Edea that were hiding all over the place. Just like that, he had gathered the millions of residents of Edea and forced them inside the talisman.

Thud, thud, thud—

“Great— Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal?”

“Your Majesty? Your Majesty Zhu Bajie?!”

The residents of Edea could clearly see how the kings that they served were rendered helpless, bound by something that made them unable to move.

“Naive kings,” Viel spoke coldly. “Bark like a dog or I will kill everyone right here and now.”

Heron took out ten more talismans.

“Ah, don’t forget to shout: Long Live the Jade Emperor!”

“...”

Hanwoo turned to look at the crying residents of Edea. Then, he looked at the man named Alexander, who was fighting against Ferro. However, he knew that there was no way that the situation that they were in would improve.

The Bull Demon King stared silently at Viel. Only when Heron moved to burn the talisman containing the residents of Edea did someone open their mouth.

“I— I will do it.”

Zhu Bajie loved and cared for his residents. However, Viel shook his head. He was not the one that he wanted.

“He has to be the one to do it.”

Viel clearly remembered the bastard named Minhyuk that attacked and injured him. He wanted the Bull Demon King, who served that bastard, to kneel and worship him.

Crackleeee—

The burning talisman slowly floated in the air.

“Uwaaaaaaaaah!!!”

“Aaaaaaaaah!!!”

“N— no!!!”

The Bull Demon King gently closed his eyes as he listened to the cries of the residents. Then, in a low voice, he said, “Long... live...”

“What? Say that again. Huh? Ahahahahahahaha!”

Viel could not help but cackle when he heard the Bull Demon King’s admission of defeat and praise of the Jade Emperor.

“Kuhahahahahahahahaha! Louder! Huh?! Let all of them hear!!!”

“Long live...” the bleeding Bull Demon King opened his mouth once again. Then, he took a big breath. Before he knew it, his acupoints that had been blocked were slowly turning loose.

“Long live His Majesty Minhyuuuuuuuuuk!!!” The Bull Demon King shouted as he hugged Viel’s lower half and charged forward.

“That’s no fun.”

Viel looked down at the Bull Demon King, who held his legs and pushed him back. Then, he raised his sword and tried to stab Hanwoo’s back.

Vwooooooooooooong—

[The Millennium Lion’s Sword is resonating!]

[The Millennium Lion’s Sword loses its power in front of the Greatest Sword!]

That was when his sword lost its sharpness and momentum.
