Chapter 644: The Battlefield of the Gods

Everyone’s expectations of the first Battlefield of the Gods had been broken. God had completely overwhelmed the battlefield. However, the commentators were still in the middle of providing their conjectures and assumptions.

[The envoys are allowed to equip artifacts. From what it looks like, Food God Minhyuk has produced God-rank artifacts for them in preparation for the Battlefield of the Gods.]

[We can assume that the notifications regarding the creation of several God-rank artifacts that rang recently were all related to the Food God.]

[However, there’s something noteworthy about these artifacts. Just like what we have seen, the Gods eventually lose their power after some time. If I could make a guess, it is highly likely that those artifacts are consumable ones and can only exert power temporarily.]

[If that’s the case, then there’s a high probability that the envoys will not be able to play a huge role during the Twin Gods’ Hunt.]

[That’s right. In the end, only God, Player Food God, would be able to receive adjustments during the games.]

[I believe the next game will be a pretty difficult battle for the Food God.]

Indeed. There were plenty of variables that worked in the Food God’s favor during the first Battlefield of the Gods. The prime example of this was the temporary ascent of his Named NPCs to the realm of the Gods. However, everyone is of the same mind that there would not be a repeat of that miracle.

While the commentators and viewers were busy speculating on their own, Minhyuk, who won the first Battlefield of the Gods, was listening to the constant ring of the notifications in his ears.

[As the God that has made an overwhelming achievement in the battlefield, you will be able to receive a special reward!]

[You have acquired 30,000 platinum.]

[You have acquired 3,000,000,000,000 EXP.]

[You have leveled up.]

[You have leveled up.]

[You have received an additional benefit! All of your stats will increase by 2%!]

[All of the envoys that fought with you will receive a 1% increase in all of their stats!]

[The Absolute Gods and the Gods are all sighing as they watch you.]

[All of them are watching you, who might become a new God, with interest.]

[The Divine Sword’s Skill Proficiency has increased slightly.]

[If you achieve a shocking achievement, you might be given the chance to use the close to impossible skill that has been sealed once!]

[This is a privilege that is only available on the second battlefield.]

Minhyuk nodded with a satisfied smile on his face. The 1% increase in all of the envoys’ stats today was already a huge gain. After all, it would give them all a huge boost in power. On top of that, Minhyuk was able to increase his level by two.

Meanwhile, Minhyuk rubbed his chin as he looked at the additional reward that he received, where he could use a ‘sealed skill once’. For some, this reward would either be the best or the worst. It would be the best if they were the owner of a sealed skill, a skill that was incredibly strong and that they could never use. On the other hand, if they did not have any sealed skill, then this was a privilege that they could never make use of.

‘As for me…’

Minhyuk looked down at his hands. He was the owner of a sealed skill.

***

Food God Minhyuk was the God in the Battlefield of the Gods! A lot of people started to pay attention to the event because of this. It was only natural that the ratings for the second battlefield would be higher than the first battlefield. On top of that, the players that heard of God’s victory all began to wonder how God looked like and how he would perform.

On their screens, the scene of the second battlefield was reflected. In front of them was a huge kingdom, void of any human existence. Seeing this, the commentators began to explain the huge kingdom that was displayed on their screens.

[We have received the information regarding the second battlefield. For the second portion of the Battlefield of the Gods, they will have to hunt the Corrupted Twin Gods. God, together with the God-class players and the antagonists will appear in the kingdom together.]

[Although they appear at the same time inside the kingdom, there would be a transparent barrier that cuts the entire area in half. They would be separated on each side and would face one of the Corrupted Twin Gods each.]

[For the hunt of the Corrupted Twin Gods, only 200 antagonists would be chosen to fight alongside the God-class players. These 200 people are chosen by the God-class players and all of them are high rankers.]

[On the other hand, God can bring all of the ‘Envoys’ under his command to fight. God can bring up to 50 envoys. If God does not have any vassals to summon, the envoys would be replaced by the envoys prepared by the system.]

[This time, they have added a very fun and interesting system, a deal meter system.]

[A deal meter?]

[That’s right. In most RPG games, you will be able to see how much damage you have dealt whenever you attack monsters. This system will be added during the hunt for the Corrupted Twin Gods.]

[It’s very, very interesting. If we can see the damage dealt by the rankers then we can see who has the upperhand.]

[That’s right. There will also be a Deal Shop that will open. The Deal Shop will only open once they have accumulated enough in the deal meter. The God-class players can designate only one person to open the Deal Shop and use it.]

[The shop will contain items that will be of great help to God, the God-class players, and the envoys.]

[That’s very accurate. It would truly be of great help to them if they could make good use of the shop.]

[However, I don’t think that it would be easy to use the Deal Shop.]

[There’s also a rule that states that the winner of the first battle will only start five minutes later.]

[Because of that, Food God Minhyuk will have no choice but to play the game five minutes later than the rest.]

[The key is within those five minutes. The God-class players should take those time to learn as much as they could about the Corrupted Twin Gods.]

[The God-class players are starting to appear one after the other in the kingdom as we speak.]

[They all look nervous.]

[If they lose this time, the God-class players will have to give up the qualifications to become a True God to the Food God, Player Minhyuk.]

[As we can see, One of the Corrupted Twin Gods has also made their appearance!]

“Graaaaaaaaaaaaaack!”

The Corrupted Twin Gods were the children of the strongest and most powerful of the Six Monster Gods, Obren, who was still hidden behind a veil. The Corrupted God was a ferocious and powerful being that even the Absolute Gods feared. Because of that, God of Origin Athenae divided the Corrupted God into two, turning them into Twin Gods and weakening their powers before sealing them.

One of the Twin Gods roared loudly. This Twin God had a single large eye on his face and around tens of thousands of eyes all over his body. This God also had a huge axe in his hand. This Twin God was around 18 meters in height and looked intimidating, especially with the bat wings that were unfurled on his back.

Seeing the appearance of this God, the God-class players could not help but gulp dryly.

.

[The second battle of the Battlefield of the Gods will begin in three minutes!]

***

In the busy office building of Joy Co. Ltd., President Kang Taehoon burst inside the meeting room with a very serious expression on his face, while someone said, “Akhan did not participate in the Battlefield of the Gods to become a God, but for something else.”

“…”

President Kang Taehoon could only frown. Crazy Tyrant Akhan once worked with President Kang Taehoon to produce Athenae. However, he was crazy for money. This fact got revealed to the public after he got severely beaten by Player Minhyuk. Because of that, the people turned their backs on him and he disappeared from everyone’s sight.

As to the reason why Akhan participated in the Battlefield of the Gods?

“Please look at this,” The Story Team Leader said as he brought something up on the screen in front of them. The screen displayed the details of the staff that was currently in Akhan’s possession.

(The Corrupted God’s Sacrificial Staff)

Rank: Legendary

Requirements: Summoner at Level 500 or higher.

Durability: 3,000 / 3,000

Attack Power: 301

Special Abilities:

?You can reform the complete body of the Corrupted God.?

?Once you combine the bodies of the Corrupted Twin Gods, the Corrupted God’s passive skill: ‘Plundering the Gods’ will appear in his body.

?You will be able to gain some control over the Corrupted Twin Gods.

Description: The Corrupted God was a very sly and clever man. Knowing that the God of Origin and the Absolute Gods would make a move to suppress him, he had hidden this artifact deep inside their own temple so that he would be able to gain his complete body once again.

“Cough…”

“Cough, cough!”

Coughs began to ring loudly in the meeting room. Just like what the description said, the Corrupted God had created this artifact to counter God of Origin Athenae and the Absolute Gods before hiding it. And Akhan definitely brought this item on purpose. In fact, there was a bigger underlying issue.

“It’s definitely for the passive skill: Plundering the Gods, right?”

The artifacts in the game were created by the production team. However, most of them were created according to the flow of the story. A prime example of this was a famous sword that was used by a legendary swordsman. This artifact was a self-produced artifact that followed the story created in Athenae. However, none of them expected this development to occur.

The Story Team Leader, his expression dark, said, “That’s right. Plundering the Gods was the power given to the Corrupted God by his father, God Obren to counter the other Gods. It is a passive skill that can take away one’s divine power if they killed a God.”

“…What a f*cked up situation.”

What was wrong with taking away the divine power of a God? Well, in this case, it was not God’s divine power that would be taken away. If what they expected unfolded, they would be placed in the worst-case scenario, where all of the God-class players were disqualified from the game and deprived of their classes.

This was not supposed to happen. Events should not have variables. After all, they were completely different from the story. But at this moment, the start of the battle between the Corrupted Twin Gods and the God-class players had become a problem.

Of course, Kang Taehoon would provide the highest amount of compensation to those that have been disqualified from the Battlefield of the Gods. However, there would be a huge conflict with the system. God of Origin Athenae would not allow those that have been disqualified to become a God class once again.

If that happened, then Joy Co. Ltd. would definitely be subjected to severe criticisms. They were now facing the greatest ordeal since the establishment of their company. Black Dragon Vormon? God of Snakes Elizabeth? The situations before could not even compare to the disaster that would unfold in this situation. The overlap of the story and the event that Joy Co. Ltd. was hosting would be the cause of this disaster.

“If all 500 God-class players become disqualified, then…” One of the people inside the meeting room murmured, bringing everyone into a panic.

Kang Taehoon closed his eyes and pondered over this matter deeply. When he opened his eyes, he murmured, “The Deal Shop has not yet been opened. Add the items that I tell you in the Deal Shop.”

“Yes.”

“Even if they are not their vassal, the player can ask for an NPC’s help. If they respond, they will be summoned and allowed to participate in the Battlefield of the Gods.”

All of the people present in the room were in awe of Kang Taehoon’s words. Why? Because there was one man participating in the Battlefield of the Gods that could bring together the best and strongest Named NPCs in the world.

Then, another man, the Special Players Management Team Leader Park Minggyu, opened his mouth, “President. There’s someone that’s very close to Obren. Although Obren is in a very crude and rough form, he is still sealed by that man’s side.”

“…!”

“…!”

“…!”

Park Minggyu’s words brought huge shock to the members of the board and all of the people present for the meeting. Even President Kang Taehoon’s eyes grew wide at this.

Joy Co. Ltd. was a company that maintained its integrity. Even if they were a part of the higher ups, the teams involved would not divulge any confidential information to others. This was especially true for the Special Players Management Team. They were very strict when it came to divulging information to others.

However, they were in an emergency. And now, someone was telling them that Obren, the father of the Corrupted God, was close to a player?

Team Leader Park Minggyu looked over at the monitor. In that monitor, God, who was set to appear five minutes later, would be warped inside the second battlefield of the Battlefield of the Gods.

Then, Team Leader Park Minggyu said, “That person is none other than Minhyuk.”

Everyone’s eyes were stained with both shock and astonishment.

“He is the only one that could give us a solution in these difficult times.”
