The entire world was rendered speechless by the shocking scene that they witnessed. The parents, who were watching at home, immediately moved to cover the eyes of their children. Many viewers, who initially came to just enjoy the show, felt drops of cold sweat in the palm of their hands.
Many people considered Athenae as just a game. At any moment, whether there was a crisis or not, everyone still considered it as a game. However, that was not the case this time.
All of the players’ hands were covered in cold sweat. Someone was even gulping nervously despite his dry mouth. It was because of the expression of the player who had lost his divine power. It was the expression of a dying man, and it was extremely vivid.
Perhaps, that expression was appropriate. After all, there were only a few players that were able to gain a God class in the entire world. Just having a God class would make one the object of envy. It was also a display of power, to show that one was far more special than the others. The God classes had become everyone’s idols and lived enviable lives. Taking away their God classes was probably no different from taking their lives away from them.
[I don’t know what to say. God of Sewing, Player Addra, has been disqualified from becoming a God.]
[Akhan, using a mysterious and unknown staff, merged the Corrupted Twin Gods into one and awakened the True Corrupted God.]
[Look at the expressions of the players in the Battlefield of the Gods. All of them are terrified.]
[The dread and terror on their faces are too vivid and clear. I don’t even know what to say.]
[This is a dead end… a dead end…]
The commentators were all left speechless. In times like this, there were only a few players that could maintain their cool-headedness and remain aware of their situation.
‘The moment we die, we will be deprived of our God class.’
‘If those with legendary classes and secret classes are also deprived of their classes along with the God classes, then we’re all in the worst situation possible.’
‘We have to kill her as quickly as possible.’
However, none of them moved yet. Then, at that moment…
“Fwaaaaaaaaaaa.”
The Corrupted God, the young girl that sounded as if she had been possessed by Satan, stretched her body once again. Her piranha-like teeth and her forked tongue that was akin to that of a snake, features that added a grotesque vibe to her otherwise beautiful face, made everyone tense with nervousness.
“Come to think of it…” the God of Corruption grinned as she looked around her. Then, she took a deep breath and said, “It seems like I’m surrounded by dirty Gods, huh? Hihihihihihi!!!”
The Corrupted God picked up another hand axe as she giggled loudly. In a blink, the book that was stained with blood disappeared. One of the players with sharp and keen eyes saw something.
“Just now, I saw the name ‘Addra’ written on the book in the hand of the Corrupted God! We have to prevent her from striking the book with her axe!!!”
Everyone nodded. The book that appeared once again did not look any different from the book with the name before, of course there were already names written on it. This time though, it had a bloody pattern on it. Then, the God of Corruption slammed her axe on the book.
Slaaaaaaaash—
“Keuaaaaaaack!”
“Keheooooook!”
“Kghhhhhk!”
Alexander, who was charging forward, looked back. He could see that some of the antagonists collapsed while clutching their chests. He thought, ‘Is she attacking randomly?!’
Was it because the target of her attacks would change depending on the type of book that she was holding? However, Alexander could not afford to delve deeper into the topic. Before that, he and the other top rankers had to try and avoid any more casualties.
Flip, flip, flip, flip—
“Heee?”
The Corrupted God turned her head slightly, looking straight at Alexander with interest flashing across her face, “What an interesting fellow. You are not a God but you have reached that level, huh? Ahihihihihihi!”
Then, the color of the book changed, from a bloody red to blue. The book that appeared for the first time carried the name ‘Alexander’.
‘I’m faster…!’
Alexander increased his speed to the limit. He was confident that his speed at cutting her was much faster than her speed of slashing down on the book. But then, at that moment, the eye on her forehead suddenly opened.
[The Corrupted God’s Eye.]
[You have fallen helpless under the eye of the Corrupted God!]
[You have fallen into a state of terrible fear for one second!]
Tremble, tremble, tremble—
Alexander, the best ranker in the world, shivered as he looked up at her and stopped in his tracks. He was terrified. In the end, Alexander was still a human being. No matter how strong he was, he would still succumb to fear. What was more, he was being subjected to great fear through the system as well as in reality. He wanted to shout: Stop! However, the axe in her hand was already on its way to strike down the book.
“The Noble One’s Whip.”
Crackle—
At that moment, a whip bursting with white light stretched out and wrapped around the hand of the God of Corruption. When Alexander turned his head, he saw Genie standing there. Above the sky stood Golden Mage Ali and Death. Thousands of undead appeared around Death and began to fall to the ground. Then, Death pricked his finger, his blood dripping down and spreading in the air.
Drip—
Then, Death chanted, “God of Death’s Exploding Corpse.”
[God of Death’s Exploding Corpse.]
[The corpses will explode with four times more damage than the ordinary Exploding Corpse.]
[Just like a homing missile, the corpses will fly and stick to the body of the enemy!]
“Kihyaaaaaaack!”
Search "pawread dot com" for the original.
“Kihyeeeeeee!”
Thousands of undead shot down, targeting the Corrupted God, exploding upon the moment they fell on her body.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
[You have dealt 2,251 attack damage!]
[You have dealt 1,614 attack damage!]
[You have dealt 1,997 attack damage!]
The notifications constantly rang in everyone’s ears. Obviously, it was less than the damage that Alexander and Ali had dealt before. However, if they were not fools, then they would know.
[That’s, that’s a very huge deal…!]
[The Corrupted Twin Gods had merged to become the Corrupted God, this meant that she is several times stronger than before. Which also means that Death is dealing a huge amount of damage compared to before. On top of that, there are thousands of explosions like that!]
Indeed, it was only natural that the attack damage that they could deal to their opponents would weaken as their opponent grew stronger. However, thanks to Death’s power, they were able to cut down a bit of the Corrupted God’s HP.
Shwaaaaaaa—
Immediately after, a golden aura appeared and swirled around Ali as the giant predatory snake changed into a staff, its head turning into the tip of the staff.
“God of Magic, lend me your powers,” Ali said, swinging his staff once.
[You have destroyed 1% of the mana volume that you possess. You have temporarily increased your magical attack damage by 1.7x.]
[You have temporarily decreased your magic cooldown by 70%!]
[You have temporarily increased the number of magic that you can cast simultaneously!]
[You will be able to temporarily use higher tiered magic!]
Several Meteors manifested around Ali at the same time. There were also hundreds of Disses that were falling down like golden rain on the ground. The next moment, Ali slammed his predatory snake staff.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
The hundreds of magic bombs that he had prepared fell down and slammed straight on the Corrupted God’s body.
[You have dealt 1,620 attack damage!]
[You have dealt 1,945 attack damage!]
[You have dealt 2,146 attack damage!]
[…2,51…]
Amidst the constant downpour of their attacks, the other God-class players started to slowly come back to their senses.
“God of Lightning!!!”
A huge bolt of lightning fell down from the sky as the God of Lightning and Thunder raised his sword high up in the sky.
[You have dealt 4,131 attack damage!]
Not long after that, a few men flew past the God of Lightning. These men were the strongest close combat players in existence: Khan, Carr, and Ares.
“Giant’s Consecutive Hits!!!”
“Swift Sword!”
“King’s Downward Kick!!!”
[You have dealt 846 attack damage!]
[You have dealt 995 attack damage!]
[…331…]
Khan’s consecutive attacks dealt around 6,000 attack damage in total.
Slaaaaaaaash—
Then, Carr’s swift sword slashed the Corrupted God.
[You have dealt 4,513 attack damage!]
Right after that, Ares' foot shot down from the skies and slammed into the Corrupted God’s body.
[You have dealt 4,151 attack damage!]
The rest of the players also began to move and land attacks on the Corrupted God. Just like that, the Corrupted God’s HP dropped to 60%. There became a ray of hope, that they would be able to create a legend right here and now. A thick cloud of dust bloomed as they continued to send attacks at the Corrupted God.
“Heok… heok… heok… heok…”
“Heok… heok…”
“Haa… haa… haaa…”
The players' rough and ragged breaths rang out loudly in the battlefield. Even the frequency of their skill casting had reduced drastically compared to before. This was mainly because the players’ were being tied down by their skills’ cooldown time, as a result, they were unable to use some of their skills.
The players continued to cast their skills, thinking that they could take turns and continue with this attacking system to keep the Corrupted God in check. In the gaps of the thick cloud of dust, they were able to see that the Corrupted God’s HP fell to around 50%.
“Kyaaaaaahaaaaa. This is fun, so fun. Huh? Hihihihihi! This is very fun!!!”
However, at that moment, a gruesome and grating laughter rang in their ears.
Swoooooooooooosh—
A powerful wind blew away the thick cloud of dust as she flipped her book. Immediately after that, a page was torn off of the book, before floating to the sky. Then, the page burned.
Crackle—
[Page of Recovery]
[All of the Corrupted God’s HP will recover.]
“Hihihihihihihi! Ahihihihihihihi!”
Everyone was left speechless. At this very moment, the hope that was building up in their chest was completely snuffed out.
She hissed, her forked tongue slithering out of her mouth, after cackling for a long time. Then, she said, “So, humans are only at this level? Interesting. Is it my turn now?”
The players immediately went on alert, wondering if she was going to strike her book again. This time, the hundreds of eyes littering her body opened and glared at them.
“Kyaaaaaaaack!” One of the players, whose legs got twisted all of a sudden, shrieked. The player was none other than Italy’s God of Shield and the global number one tanker, Valentino.
The Corrupted God moved her fingers as if she was manipulating a puppet. It started with Valentino’s legs twisting, then his entire body slowly began to twist strangely.
Craaaaack, craaaack, crack—
“Keuhaaaaaaaack! N, no! Nooooooo! I don’t want this!!!”
“This damn b*tch!!!”
“Stop heeeeeer!!!”
However, it was useless.
Crack, craaaack—
In the end, Valentino’s qualification as a God was deprived as his neck got twisted.
[The God of Shield has been forced to log out.]
[The God of Shield has been deprived of his qualifications to become God.]
Giggle—
The Corrupted God giggled as she pointed a finger at a woman while saying, “Ah? I can also do this. Here, look.”
A small doll made of straw appeared in front of the Corrupted God, after which, she flicked the doll’s head with her finger.
Poof!
Master Archer Miao’s head got blown away.
[The God of Archery has been forced to log out.]
[The God of Archery has been deprived of her qualifications to become God.]
Thud—
“H, hiiiiiiiiik!”
“Eeeeeeeeeek!”
It was at this moment that they finally realized that the Corrupted God in front of them was not an opponent that they could fight against.
At the same time, several small dolls made of straw appeared around her.
“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Ahihihihihihi!!!”
Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof!
With every flick of her finger, a head would explode. The players’ eyes spun, their heads turning dizzy from fear. Then, the Corrupted God looked at several people, interest flashing in her eyes once more.
“Oh? I think this is a first for me? The God of Magic, the God considered to be the greatest God, and the God of Death are fighting together?” She said, smiling coldly, “Then, you’ll have to die.”
Draaaaaaag—
Draaaaag—
“…!”
“…!”
The bodies of Ali and Death were immediately dragged to where the Corrupted God was. The Corrupted God had a special ability. This ability was none other than Divine Power Absorption. It was a power that could allow her to absorb God’s powers and make them a part of her own. From what it looked like, the powers of the God of Magic and the God of Death were enough to satisfy her.
“Hiyaaaaaa! Come to me, quick! Quick!”
“S, stop…! Stop!!!”
“Shit…”
Ali and Death’s expressions turned contemplative. They were both Athenae’s best top rankers. Although it was not obvious in their expressions, they were also afraid. This was because they would lose everything that they have built.
They would live their ordinary lives once again. No, in fact, they would live the life of being bullied and trampled on by others once again, despite reigning over others in this game for the longest time. Death had been living a life of loneliness while Ali had to support and take responsibility for his brother, who had an intellectual disability.
Both men felt like tears were about to flow down their cheeks. They wanted to run away. They wanted to shout for help. However, they were true rankers, Athenae’s living legends, so they could not do so.
Crack, crack, crack—
“F*cker!!!”
“Try it.”
They spat coldly at the Corrupted God. However, she ignored them, opting to open her mouth as wide as she could to swallow the two of them together. As they got closer and closer to her mouth, they heard the Corrupted God’s grating laughter as she said, “You should have brought out a True God to kill me.”
Then, at that moment, Ali, who recalled the first time they met each other, shouted loudly, “Frieeeeeeeeeeeeeend!!!”
[A new God has been born to the world!]
[The new God has the special power to cook and eat well.]
[The new God has the special power to handle the sword well!]
[This is a first!]
[The Food God class and the Sword God class have been temporarily combined!]
[He’s not one of the eight Absolute Gods that exist in the world, he is the ninth Absolute God, a new Absolute God born to the world!]
[Warning!!!]
[A strong powerhouse that has transcended even the level of the Gods has appeared in the world!]
[Warning!!!]
[A strong powerhouse that has transcended even the level of the Gods has appeared in the world!]
Shwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa—
A powerful force burst out from somewhere in the area. The tremendous power restricted the Corrupted God’s movements and stopped her from moving her mouth.
The Corrupted God turned to look at the source of the power, her eyes stained with shock and astonishment. There, he saw a man that had temporarily combined and received the power of the Food God and the Sword God classes.
“If that’s what you wish for, then…” A man with pure white hair and dark brown eyes, eyes that Valen originally had, looked at her coldly and continued, “…I will become a True God.”
With those words, the man passed by the Corrupted God, a cut appearing on the body of the Corrupted God, as a shocking amount of deal rang in the ears of everyone that saw this scene.
[You have dealt 113,031 attack damage!]
The entire world was left in shock.
