Chapter 649: The Battlefield of the Gods

Chapter 649: The Battlefield of the Gods

Obren was termed as the greatest among the Six Monster Gods. However, there were not many viewers that knew about him. At that very moment, a person with the name ‘Obren’s Follower’ appeared on one of the community sites.

[Obren was known to be strong enough to be a threat to Athenae and her children. He was an ‘Evil God’ and even when several Absolute Gods came at him, they were still unable to win against him. Because of that, it was said that Athenae and the Absolute Gods tricked him into slumbering somewhere.]

[Then, are you saying that even the Gods are afraid of Obren?]

[Is Obren stronger than Great Demon Verus?]

[The Great Demons are not at a level where they can dare to fight against Obren. Obren is literally the God of evil and the wicked. He is the most dangerous being.]

[…]

[…]

The viewers that read the explanation all fell into varying degrees of shock. To top it all off, there was Obren’s declaration.

“This child…” Obren, the most dangerous God, in Minhyuk’s form said, “…is my friend.”

“…!”

Even the Corrupted God could not hide her shock and embarrassment when she heard those words. After all, Obren was her father, an Evil God that no one could recklessly fight against. Yet he was telling her that an Evil God like him was friends with a mere human?

“Father… I don’t understand,” the Corrupted God shook her head.

Obren, in Minhyuk’s body, continued coldly, “I never asked you to understand.”

To be fair, even Obren himself could not understand the situation that he was in. He had been slumbering within the Puzzling Seasoning Jar. He had also stayed with Minhyuk for quite a long time, having seen his thoughts and feelings, as well as the way he treated others and even himself, causing Obren to feel plenty of emotions. Perhaps it was also the reason why Obren willingly used the only solution that he knew to awaken his sealed self.

(Kronad’s Sealed Necklace)

?You can only use the power hidden in Kronad’s Sealed Necklace once.

Description: An old and faded necklace that has been sleeping for hundreds of years.

The true worth of Kronad’s Sealed Necklace, an item with most of its details and special abilities sealed, was that it could tell one the way to unseal the Evil God. However, the power hidden in Kronad’s Necklace could only be utilized once. If that power was used, then one would lose the method of awakening and unsealing the Evil God.

These were the notifications that Obren had heard when he awakened inside Minhyuk’s body.

[If you use the only chance to use the power hidden in Kronad’s Sealed Necklace, you will be able to awaken with your original powers for a brief moment.]

[After using Kronad’s necklace, it will completely disappear from existence.]

[The duration of your awakening is three minutes.]

Despite the risk, Obren used the necklace. Although he already grasped in his hand a way to awaken himself, he still willingly gave it up, just because of Minhyuk.

‘I also don’t know,’?Obren thought to himself, wondering why he made such a choice for a mere human being.

‘Somehow, I do not want to see him sad.’

As for the Corrupted God, her flustered expression gradually cooled down. Obren had already disappeared a long time ago. Besides, he was just borrowing that human’s body right now. That meant that Obren’s power had either decreased or degenerated.

For the Corrupted God, her father might have been someone that begotten her. The truth was, the Corrupted God hated Obren. She also feared him, and secretly, she wanted to kill him and gain the ‘Evil God’ title.

“Hihihihihihi! Ahihihihihihihi! You’re friends with a mere human? Then, shall I kill you?”

The Corrupted God had one power that Obren did not have, which was God Absorption, a power that allowed her to use the powers and abilities of the God that she had devoured. In other words, if the Corrupted God devoured Obren, she would be able to become far stronger than before.

“And if your friend’s comrades die then… it would be the cherry on top of the icing.”

Smirk—

The Corrupted God’s face turned even more ugly as she smiled grimly. Then, she turned to Pellod, the God of Monarchs that destroyed his own kingdom, and devoured him.

[You have absorbed the God of Monarchs Pellod!]

[One of the God of Monarchs Pellod’s special characteristic ‘Ruler’s Mana’ has increased significantly!]

[You can call for more summons than usual!]

In the sky above them, twenty books instantly appeared as several more fallen, corrupted and crazy Gods descended, each and every single one of them great and strong. Unfortunately, Obren did not have the power to control the fallen Gods.

So, the Corrupted God thought, ‘No matter how powerful Obren is, there’s no way that he could deal with dozens of Gods. Besides, he’s very weak.’

The Corrupted God grinned, basking in the pleasure of the fading hope in the eyes of all of the people present, including Ellie, Raldo, and the others. Dozens of fallen Gods looked down upon them as the Corrupted God declared, “Kill them.”

Smirk—

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang—

A powerful sword light shone as the previous generation’s Sword God, the very same God that tried to cut down Athenae in the past, moved to slash Ellie.

Hundreds of thousands of undead roared loudly at the summons of the previous generation God of Death, who was kicked out of his throne by the current God of Death.

There was also a storm of blood summoned by the God of Blood, wreaking havoc and ready to devour everyone below.

“Kyahahahahahahahahhahahaha! Ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!” The Corrupted God cackled, dragging everyone into a deeper pit of despair. She would bring down Obren and become the Evil God.

Right now, the Corrupted God was intoxicated with the power that was flowing through her veins.

‘Can you see this, Obren? You are no longer the Evil God.’

After all, he was just standing there and staring at everything without making a move.

‘Perhaps Obren does not have the power to restrain me. Maybe he’s just trying to intimidate me.’

The Corrupted God thought that he was just showing empty bravado to make her back off. However, that was not the truth.

Obren, with his long black hair fluttering behind him, remained expressionless as he looked at the Corrupted God and the dozens of fallen Gods in the sky above them. Then, he grinned and spat one word, “Bang.”

Shwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa—

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

Then, something surprising happened. The sword lights that were moving to target Ellie exploded in the air, while the undead falling from the skies turned into ash that scattered in the wind. None of the attacks reached Minhyuk’s people.

“…?!”

The Corrupted God’s eyes grew wide in shock. And then…

“Bang.”

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang—

A gigantic lightning bolt shot out from one of the tens of thousands of books emitting black light in the sky and killed the God of Combat. Immediately after that, Obren turned to look at the Ousted God of Magic Canvarro.

“Bar…”

“Bang.”

Boooooooooooom—

Canvarro was just about to cast an impenetrable barrier to stop the attack, but before he could even do so, another book engulfed in black light moved, blowing off Canvarro’s head.

“Bang. Bang, bang. Bang, bang!”

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

The fallen Gods that had appeared in the sky began to drop one after the other. The Corrupted God could not believe her eyes at the sight.

“Hii, hiiiiiiik…!”

She could not get defeated at this point. The Corrupted God immediately rushed to Spear God Ben, the nearest person to her. She wanted to take him hostage.

“Bang,” Obren spat out another word.

[One of the Evil God’s Eight Books ‘The Book that Rewinds Everything’ has been activated!]

Then, a golden book appeared in the sky and fluttered open. The Evil God’s Eight Books were the books with the strongest power. As the golden book fluttered open, words began to flow out from inside.

.

[The Evil God, the most dangerous God, will read every word and bring everything back to the beginning.]

At that moment, a bright golden light from the golden book spread out and wrapped the entire world.

[The divine power that the Corrupted God has extinguished will return and find their owners.]

[God of Archery, Master Archer Miao, has regained her powers as a God class.]

[God of Shields Valentino has regained his powers as a God class.]

[God of Lightning…]

[God of Strikes…]

[The Corrupted God will no longer be able to take away divine power.]

Notifications constantly rang in the ears of everyone present and everyone in the world.

“Aahh… aaaaah… aaah…!”

The ones that had felt despair because of this cried in relief. Also…

[The system that the Corrupted God has hijacked has been restored and is now running smoothly.]

[The NPCs will revive in their own empires, kingdoms, or territories upon their deaths in the Battlefield of the Gods.]

“…”

The notifications brought relief to everyone.

The Corrupted God shook her head. It was impossible. How could a man like him who had been slumbering for so long have that much power when he just awakened?

‘Even if he was weakened, he’s still someone that I can’t deal with?’

She wanted to deny it. The Corrupted God bit her lips tightly. That was when she realized something.

“But…”

Grin—

The Corrupted God began to cackle once again.

“…You, how did you awaken?”

Indeed, how did Obren awaken? The Corrupted God was privy to a lot of information. She was also aware that the one that sealed Obren was the first pope of Athenae and that the only way to awaken him was through the power of that first pope.

“You… you’re about to lose your powers, no? Huh? Ahihihihihihihihi!!!” The Corrupted God cackled. All she needed to do was endure everything. If she could endure this, then she would eventually win. The moment she obtained her original body, she would be able to sweep them away easily. In other words, it would not be difficult for her, even if the other fallen Gods were not with her.

Dozens of books began to gather around the Corrupted God.

[Obren’s Child has been activated!]

[You will be able to prevent all attacks from Obren for two minutes!]

As mentioned before, the Corrupted God hated Obren. He was a God that was far stronger than herself and was someone that was revered as the greatest. However, she had left a path open for herself to fight against Obren. Although the power was still incomplete, if it was just about stopping Obren’s powers, then she could last against him for two minutes.

“Hmm…” Obren hummed, flicking his fingers towards the tens of thousands of books that were floating in the sky.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

Thousands of lightning bolts appeared in the sky and exploded the moment they touched the Corrupted God.

“Gulp—“

The Corrupted God unknowingly swallowed her saliva at the sight. The strength that Obren was showing was so powerful that even she had to wonder if he could break through the absolute defense that she had against him. However, once the dust had settled down, everyone could see that she had not been hit at all.

“Ahihihihihihihihihi! It’s over! In the end, I won? Huh?! Ahihihihihihihihi!!!”

The Corrupted God’s delight plunged everyone into despair once again.

Meanwhile, the commentators began to speak once again.

[It seems like Obren will really disappear soon.]

[If that happens then I think the situation will go back to the way it was before.]

[The brief moment of hope that everyone was given had completely disappeared.]

Everyone felt despair and frustration once again. Obren moved quickly. But this time, he squeezed the hilt of Minhyuk’s sword.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

A single swing of the sword was so powerful that even the spectating Gods were shocked. However, there was not even a single scratch that appeared on the body of the Corrupted God.

“Obren. This is my victory. I will kill everyone here. Then, I will kill your friend.”

Everyone was once again dragged into a deeper pit of despair amidst the continuous explosions. Meanwhile, Obren heard a notification in his ears.

[You will fall into a very long and deep sleep in twenty seconds!]

“…”

Obren also felt a sense of urgency. However, at that moment, some kind of force began to pull him out. That power belonged to none other than Minhyuk, who had finally woken up.

Minhyuk’s long hair started to get shorter again. However, he still had Obren’s power even if for just a few seconds.

“Ahihihihi? Ahihihihi…?”

The Corrupted God had also sensed something unusual.

At that moment, Minhyuk said, “Million Swords.”

A million swords appeared around Minhyuk, all of them directed at the Corrupted God. Minhyuk glared sharply at the Corrupted God as he said coldly, “I’m not Obren.”

Stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab!

The Million Swords brought judgment upon the Corrupted God.
