Leveling Up Through Eating

Chapter 765: The War of Destruction

Chapter 765: The War of Destruction

What kind of existence were the gods in the minds of the Athenae players? They were the absolute existence in their fields, with Greatest God Athenae as the sole exception. There were many legends that used the spear and the sword, to the point that it was impossible to count them with their hands. However, gods were different. For each field in the world, there was only one god.

That was why everyone knew that these gods were great, but arrogant beings. Was there anything that they could say against these arrogant beings? No, because they were the progenitor and the creator of that field. Besides, it was likely anyone would act the same way if they were in the same position.

Minhyuk, who rode on the white warhorse while wearing full plate armor, used the God of Generals’ skill: ‘Assembling the Gods’. Underneath the white horned helmet, Minhyuk opened his mouth and said, “Assemble.”

Along with his words, a powerful and majestic world message resounded.

[The One that Received the Recognition of the God of Generals.]

[The One that Became the ‘God’s Knight’ for the Battle God.]

[He has used the Assembling the Gods!]

[The Gods that have assembled will only be able to use one attack and one skill!]

[He is the Lowest God!]

[The Lowest God’s order to assemble the gods is not an absolute order!]

[…has not responded!]

[…has not responded!]

Plenty of people grew helpless and despondent when they heard that some gods were unresponsive despite the call for the Assembling of the Gods. It would have been a spectacular sight to see, one not witnessed anywhere else in the world, if a player rallied those noble and arrogant gods. However, the players knew the reality.

[… A foreigner god? There’s no way that they’ll respond to the calls of Player Minhyuk, a mere Continental God.]

[It’s a bit unfortunate but at least we have the Battle God and the God of Generals on our side. There’s still hope.]

[In fact, I believe they have a good chance. After all, Player Minhyuk can use the power of the ‘Food God’ and the power of the ‘God’s Knight’ right now.]

The commentators spoke as if they were consoling each other, but the viewers remained bitter.

[There’s no way that those arrogant gods will answer the calls of a foreigner god and the lowest god Minhyuk.]

[It doesn’t matter if Player Minhyuk is the best and strongest ranker in the world. In the first place, it does not make sense for him to gather those gods.]

[However, what do you think would happen if the Battle God is the one that used the Assembling the Gods?]

[If the Battle God is the one that used the Assembling the Gods, then don’t you think that those gods will all prostrate and kneel in front of him?]

[This is obviously the limit of a player.]

[It would be ridiculous if Absolute Gods appeared, right?]

[Guys, wake up. The ordinary gods are not coming, so why would Absolute Gods appear? On top of that, the Absolute Gods are in the same class as the Battle God.]

Just like what one viewer said, the Absolute Gods were in the same class as the Battle God.

[Will they even assemble even if it was the power of the Battle God? They have their own pride, you know?]

[Eh… But it’s not the Battle God that asked them to gather. It’s Minhyuk.]

[No, how can the Food God gather them if even the Battle God cannot?]

[Now that you say that… it sounds reasonable.]

Everyone felt that it was a pity after thinking like that.

However, the Battle God was sporting a relaxed expression on his face as he murmured to himself, “There are so many Absolute Gods that love and adore that child.”

“…”

Farrow turned to look at Minhyuk in surprise after hearing those words.

Joy Co. Ltd.

Lee Minhwa, a member of the Special Players Management Team, watched as the Land of the Gods was turned upside down.

Some of the gods were talking with each other.

“What? A mere Continental God dares to order us gods to assemble?”

“What’s his name?”

“The Food God? That cheeky and impudent bastard?!!!”

“Why would I even respond to the calls of that cheeky bastard?!”

“I have my pride as a god too!”

All of the gods in the Land of the Gods cursed and denied the summon. Seeing this, Lee Minhwa immediately tapped on her keyboard. However, what she saw in another place made her dumbfounded.

“This is Player Minhyuk’s personal connections… no, I mean, godly connections…”

‘Is it even appropriate to call it personal connections at this juncture?’

Just as she was pondering over the matter, the doors slammed open and Team Leader Park Minggyu entered.

Team Leader Park had come from the conference room to check on the situation after seeing that none of the gods had responded. “Why are the gods not responding? No matter how prideful they were, the Assembling of the Gods has been approved by the Battle God himself.”

Lee Minhwa shook her head at his question. “Team Leader, it’s not that the gods are not responding.”

“What?”

Team Leader Park looked at her in doubt. What in the world did she mean? So, Park Minggyu immediately turned to look at the monitor. There, he saw several Absolute Gods preparing to go to battle.

“They’re just waiting for the perfect moment. After all, those mere gods could never stand in front of the Absolute Gods.”

“…!”

***

The Evil Incarnate had no other choice but to feel that this situation was absurd. The blood running through the veins of that child was only that of a Continental God’s blood. However, he was also considered as the Lowest God.

The Evil Incarnate felt the power of many gods thrumming in his body, however his strength was still far too weak. Even so, the Battle God and the God of the Generals still willingly handed the authority to use the ‘Assembling the Gods’ to this child.

If it was the God of the Generals that used the ‘Assembling the Gods’, then the other gods might have rushed over. But what would be the result right now? Regardless, it brought delight to the Evil Incarnate.

“Kikikikikikikikikikiki! Kihihihihihihihihihihihihi!”

To him, the situation looked like they dug the pits of despair on their own. They were filled with hope as they called for the other gods, but were promptly ignored.

‘I cannot kill Belson or Farrow right now.’

The Evil Incarnate was a very shrewd being and he knew them better than anybody else. Since he knew them well, the Evil Incarnate thought of only killing Minhyuk, who had become the God’s Knight and was charging straight toward him on his white warhorse. But that was not the end.

“You bastard, I will find you every day and kill you.”

The Evil Incarnate planned to chase Minhyuk, the culprit that ruined his plans, to the ends of the earth and kill him day after day. He was everywhere and nowhere. This was a feat that he was very capable of.

Not long after, hundreds of black swords and spears appeared around him.

[The Evil Incarnate’s Thunder Spear.]

[Three hundred spears with additional 2,400% attack shoot at your enemy at a high speed.]

The Evil Incarnate was basically at the level of an Absolute God. So, just three of the spears that he sent with additional 2,400% attack were enough to kill a few high rankers. Not to mention, the Thunder Spears were as fast as lightning and thunder.

Rumbleee!

Along with the rumbling in the sky, the spear that was floating beside the Evil Incarnate had traveled swiftly. In the blink of an eye, it was already stabbing through Minhyuk’s flank.

“Kghk!”

[Your HP has dropped below 90%!]

Minhyuk was shocked to see that a chunk of his HP had been lost in just one attack. He fell into contemplation as he continued to ride the white warhorse. ‘If I don’t kill that bastard here then…’

Just like what the Evil Incarnate declared, Minhyuk would be forced to log out every single day. That would spell doom for the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom. It also meant that Minhyuk’s eating addiction’s improvement would come to a halt.

However, the Thunder Spears did not stop. They continued to silently move and stab into Minhyuk’s body.

Stab— stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab—

Rumbleeeeeeee—

With every rumble of thunder, flashes of light would appear and stab all over Minhyuk’s body.

[Your HP has dropped below 50%!]

[Your head suddenly began spinning!]

Minhyuk’s body, which was still riding on the white warhorse, wobbled. He was suddenly in danger of falling. In fact, his hold on the reins suddenly loosened and his body had started to slip away from the horse.

But the attack was not yet over. Hundreds of spears flew one after another and shot toward Minhyuk’s falling body. At that moment, the notifications came.

[The first God has responded!]

[The first God has been watching over him for a long time.]

[This God has always been watching him, seeing that he does not know how to back down despite all of the trials and hardships presented to him.]

[The first God is one of the ‘Absolute Gods’, the God of Will.]

[…!]

[…!]

[…!]

[…!]

“…!”

“…!”

“…!”

Everyone was shocked to see the message that rang.

The God of Will was one of the Absolute Gods and he was the one that did not know how to back down. If the Battle God was the one that everyone admired the most, the God of Will was the god that everyone believed to be capable of giving the best passive skills. That was not all, the God of Will had only appeared in front of a select few players, those that had successfully completed extremely hard and repetitive labor.

Shwaaaaaaaaaa—

A man appeared and supported Minhyuk’s body that was falling off of the warhorse. The man’s face was covered with a black mask so none of them could see his exact appearance. However, the soft smile and the warm gaze that he used to look at Minhyuk was gentler and warmer than anybody else.

When the hundreds of spears that were targeting Minhyuk appeared in front of them, another bunch of notifications rang out.

[The Will of the One that Charges Forward.]

[The Will of the One that Charges Forward has been triggered!]

[With your unwavering will, you will not fear anything that comes your way. No attack will reach you!]

[Your HP and MP has been restored to 100%!]

[You have the courage to stand tall and never fear anything.]

[All of your attack power has increased by 30%!]

Swoooooooosh—

The hundreds of spears disappeared into nothing the moment Minhyuk raised his head and looked at them. The God of Will was left in a translucent state. He flew behind Minhyuk and joined him in his charge.

The commentators were stunned by the scene.

[This is unbelievable! One of the Absolute Gods, the God of Will, has responded to Player Minhyuk’s call…]

But the shock that they would receive was not yet over.

[The second God has responded!]

[The second God loved and treasured him, who loved and placed food above everybody else and who wanted no one to be hungry, more than anybody else!]

[The second God is one of the ‘Absolute Gods’, the God of Cooking!]

At the same time, the God of Cooking, who was wearing a white armor and a white mask on her face, appeared right next to Minhyuk and smiled softly at him.

[The God of Cooking’s Smile.]

[You have seen the smile of the fussiest and most stubborn God of Cooking.]

[Even if you haven’t eaten anything, you will still feel full!]

[All of your stats have increased by 23%. All of your skills’ level has increased by +1!]

The God of Cooking Arlene was the god that had been watching Minhyuk for the longest time.

The entire world was left reeling in shock.

[The third God has responded!]

[The fourth God has responded…]

[The fifth God…]

[The fiftieth God…]

[The ninety-ninth God…]

[You are in an oversaturated situation!]

[Saturated Situation!]

[Status can no longer be measured!]

[Cannot be measured!]

[Cannot be measured…]

[The Gates of Heaven have been momentarily blocked because of the overflowing number of gods that have responded to your call!]

It was completely ridiculous. So many gods have responded to the point that they were clamoring over the gates and could not pass through.

Minhyuk had already become stronger with the help of the God of Will and the God of Cooking. Because of that, Minhyuk’s speed as he rode his white warhorse had also increased tremendously. It did not take too long for Minhyuk to reach the vicinity of the Evil Incarnate.

The Evil Incarnate knew that he could escape as long as he wanted to.

‘I never expected that there would be this many gods that would respond to his call.’

The Evil Incarnate was very sure that he would die if all of the gods came here. However, just when he was about to turn into a stream of black air and disappear, another god responded.

[The 307th God has responded!]

[At first, this God envied him. Why? Because he was the one that caught his heart. He was also the one that made God feel insignificant.]

Many people groaned and hummed at the notifications. Which god was it that envied Minhyuk and even made him feel insignificant?

[But now, this God believes in him more than anybody else.]

[This God watches you, the Lowest God, earnestly.]

[I hope that you will inherit my legacy and follow in my footsteps.]

[The 307th God is one of the ‘Absolute Gods’, the Battle God!]

[The Battle God has gathered all of the gods that answered Player Minhyuk’s call!]

Flash, flash, flash, flash, flash, flash, flash, flash, flash—

Huge pillars of light poured down from the sky and surrounded the Evil Incarnate. Once the light cleared away, what greeted the Evil Incarnate was more than 2,000 gods, with all of their weapons and power aiming at him.

[The assembled Gods are awaiting the orders of the Lowest God!]

This was the scene that all of the players dreamt of, but had deemed to be impossible. A scene where they could borrow the power of the gods and use it to fight the enemies.

Minhyuk, who stood in the middle of it all, raised his sword atop his warhorse and commanded, “Destroy him!”
