Chapter 1375

Chapter 1375

Although Minhyuk knew that Athenae and the Absolute Gods were trying their hardest to break Gabriel’s Shackles, the situation remained dire.

‘Whether they break it or not...’

[The sword made for you will be completed soon.]

That was when he heard these words from Obren as he started fighting Anas with the help of the power of the four Pillars. With this, more options had opened up for him.

Minhyuk hurriedly asked the Pillars to activate any skill that could limit and restrict Anas’ healing and regeneration if they had any. Then, he tried his best to lower his HP as much as possible until he reached the point at which he was forced to log out.

Now, not only did Minhyuk have a new artifact in hand, but he could also make full use of the true power of the Battle God now that he was inside the Land of the Gods.

[There are 1 minute 6 seconds left.]

Gulp!

‘Overlapping Delight!’

Cold sweat dripped down Anas’s back when he saw Minhyuk gulp down the food in his hands.

“There’s no way that you can kill me just because you got a new sword. That’s preposterous,” Anas said casually.

However, he was only pretending to be relaxed and casual. In truth, he was in a state of constant nervous tension. He had only 40% of his HP left. Even though he mocked the sword in Minhyuk’s hands, he could tell that it was a very unusual sword, especially after he saw its appearance. The sword with its black blade and white hilt, and the symbol of a fork and knife crossed together engraved on it, had an air of mystery around it.

‘No. I only have to endure it for one minute.’

Anas was no fool. He knew when to fight and when not to. So, what did he do instead of trying to break through this dangerous situation? Anas turned around and tried to run outside.

[Athenae’s Barrier has been created.]

Alas, a barrier appeared around the land and left Anas with nowhere to escape.

Anas’ expression contorted. He thought,

‘I will definitely get beaten to a pulp before I can put a crack in this barrier.’

Anas realized that he could not escape the inevitable. Nevertheless, he believed that he could create a breakthrough in this situation.

‘Can he even shave off 40% of my HP?’

And in just one minute? That was not easy to achieve. Anas gathered the divine power surging within his body and then released it into his surroundings.

[Divine Power Restriction.]

[Upon activation of the Divine Power Restriction, the gods’ divine power will be restricted. Gods below a certain level will not be able to use all of their skills temporarily for one minute.]

The “below a certain level” pertained to ordinary gods. With this force activated, all of the ordinary gods could not use any of their abilities for an entire minute. In other words, they could only use their physical force to deal with their enemies. Thankfully, Minhyuk and the Absolute Gods were excluded from this.

[There is 1 minute left.]

Anas’ lips were twisted into a smirk as he made a quick survey of the situation. He calculated all of the risks and thought,

‘They will never be able to kill me in just one minute.’

As he rationally analyzed the situation and calculated the amount of damage that Minhyuk could inflict, the power of his skills, and the fact that none of the Absolute Gods were combat class gods, he was confident that he would not be killed.

‘And this is also after because the Battle God has opened up his true powers!’

In fact, Anas had already thought of a way to break through this situation. Besides, Anas was very confident in himself. When someone was confident, there was nothing that they could be afraid of. He clenched his fists tightly.

Minhyuk immediately applied the power of the black die to Destruction, which was now engraved on the blade of his sword, and made a move.

‘Like the Wind.’

He appeared in front of Anas in an instant and swung his sword to cut down the man.

‘It doesn’t matter if you have grown a bit stronger. Because you can never...’

Bang, bang!

Bang, bang, bang!

‘...deal any huge damage to me...’

[Skill Critical.]

[Your skill damage will be 1.6x stronger.]

“Keuhaaaaaaack!”

A shriek was ripped out of Anas’ mouth. The damage that he received was much higher than before. Regardless, despite the shocking damage and the overwhelming shock from the impact of the attack, Anas was still able to send Minhyuk flying away before he could follow up with another attack.

[There are 56 seconds left.]

[Your HP has dropped below 35%.]

Anas’ breathing grew rough. At this moment, he realized that his opponent’s damage had been greatly amplified. Minhyuk smiled fondly at the sword in his hands. When Anas saw that, he realized that it was all because of the sword in Minhyuk’s hands.

“This is nice~” Minhyuk laughed playfully.

Anas’ expression grew incredibly ugly. He realized that he had been far too complacent when he thought that he could endure for the entire minute. He had to think about a way to kill this man too, during that same amount of time.

[Divine Power Explosion.]

[Anas’ Divine Power is running wild.]

[The damage that he could inflict and all related stats have significantly increased.]

[The damage that he could inflict and all related stats have significantly increased.]

[The damage that he could inflict...]

BOOM!

The ground cracked as he kicked off and shot toward Minhyuk. Just like that, his sword and Minhyuk’s own collided.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Only after clashing against Minhyuk did he understand how shockingly overwhelming the damage that the sword in the Battle God’s hands was. Of course, the sword that Minhyuk had used before was also the same. But the new sword in Minhyuk’s hands felt much more powerful than that.

Swoosh!

Nevertheless, Anas was still able to cut Minhyuk with his sword.

Spurt!

Fwoosh!

At that moment, Minhyuk raised his sword and cut down Anas, leaving behind an afterimage in the air.

Thud!

[Given the chance to attack, your sword will be given a 100% chance of successfully striking your enemy.]

‘What? Isn’t this too... unbelievable...?’

In just a split second, Minhyuk swung his sword ten times in a row. As a result, ten sword afterimages appeared in the air, and he was able to cut Anas ten times in a row. The best part? The sword attack carried a force that would never miss or be evaded.

“Kyahaa! This is so good!”

[There are 48 seconds left.]

[Your HP has dropped below 33%.]

Minhyuk looked incredibly satisfied with his new sword. He was even looking at it with adoration. With a slight smile on his face, he said, “I can do something like this, too. Do you want to see it?”

“...?”

[Simultaneous Activation.]

[With Simultaneous Activation, you can use three outstanding skills at the same time.]

[The Sword of Carnage, the Supreme Overlord’s Technique, and the Exploding Lightning have been activated at the same time.]

Initially, these skills could only be activated one at a time. Even a mage who could use hundreds of attack magic all at once had to create them one by one before they could use them to attack the enemy at the same time. But this skill completely ignored this rule. All three of Minhyuk’s skills were activated at the same time.

The Sword of Carnage cut Anas down while the flame of the Supreme Overlord’s Technique devoured him. There was also the Exploding Lightning’s lightning bolt that fell from the sky and left him in a stunned state.

[There are 38 seconds left.]

[Your HP has dropped below 28%.]

Minhyuk made full use of all of the skills in his arsenal. The gods also launched attacks one after another as they clung to Anas like crazy.

[Your HP has dropped below 21%.]

Nonetheless, Anas was a being that was close to a monster. As he allowed their attacks to land on his body, he decided just to take the easy path, believing that it was a very clever idea.

[Anas the Invincible.]

[For 25 seconds, Anas will be in an absolutely invincible state.]

[Anas’ HP will not go down for 25 seconds.]

It was a power that even Minhyuk was not aware of. Of course, Minhyuk had also activated his Absolute Defense. This meant that the two could not do any damage to each other.

Minhyuk looked very tense at the sudden and very unexpected situation. However, he did not remain idle. With the ten seconds of respite that the Absolute Defense granted him, he quickly scanned through the detailed information of the Supreme Blade.

[There are 18 seconds left.]

At this moment, Minhyuk’s Absolute Defense had ended, while that was not the case for Anas the Invincible. Surprisingly enough, Anas did not attack Minhyuk. He also did nothing to the gods.

Both the gods and the Absolute Gods flinched when Anas’s gaze landed on them. Then, he said, “Do you think you can kill me?”

Anas smirked. Then, he stared at Minhyuk, who seemed to be deep in thought.

“You have my respect. You deserve all the credit and the recognition for pushing me to this point.”

[There are 14 seconds left.]

“I also apologize for implying that there’s nothing that you can do. You have done more than enough. That’s why I thought that after I have taken over the Land of the Gods, the first thing that I will do is to destroy your Beyond the Heavens Empire. I have judged that you are far more dangerous than I expected.”

Anas was acknowledging Minhyuk’s strength.

“Don’t be too frustrated, this is originally a world where the strong prey on the weak.”

But even at the very last moment, Anas continued to mock and jeer at Minhyuk.

[There are 12 seconds left.]

Anas sneered. “Oh? What can you do?! What should you do? How can you kill me in just ten seconds?!”

Minhyuk grabbed his head in despair.

[There are 11 seconds left.]

At that moment, Minhyuk, who seemed to be wallowing in despair and frustration, slowly lowered his hands and raised his head.

[Anas the Invincible has been terminated.]

“Actually... I think that’s more than enough time to kill you.” Minhyuk grinned.

At that moment, a deep sense of foreboding washed over Anas.

[The Supreme Blade’s power has been triggered.]

[Skill Convergence has been activated.]

[With Skill Convergence, Battle God Minhyuk can borrow and use the powers of any of the people with whom he had built a relationship and a connection as the Battle God, as their lord, or as their beloved friend.]

[Skill Convergence is spreading all over the world.]

[Countless people are responding to the Battle God’s Voice.]

[You cannot borrow the power of the Pillars.]

[You cannot borrow the power of the Absolute Gods.]

[The number of people who have responded to your call is 1,790.]

[You can select the skill from any of the people who responded to your call. You can activate and use their skills for thirty seconds.]

Vwoooooong!

A red haze erupted from within Minhyuk and slowly formed into a wolf. Anas, who felt danger from the haze, immediately shot toward Minhyuk. Alas, Minhyuk was faster than him.

[There are 8 seconds left.]

“Final Chapter. Animal Farm.”

Swoosh!

The chicken’s leg scratched Anas in the middle of his chest.

Spurt!

As the blood erupted from his chest, a shadow was cast over him. It was from a gigantic pig carrying an overwhelming amount of force and pressure.

BOOM!

The power of the pig and the power of gravity combined, creating a crater where Anas lay flat in the middle of. That was not the end. A horse appeared and dragged him away.

“Urk!”

[There are 7 seconds left.]

[Your HP has fallen below 14%...]

Ping!

Before the notification could end, Minhyuk had already lowered his knees and grabbed the hilt of his Supreme Blade that was sheathed in its scabbard. Then, the power that could cut down the enemy wherever they were was activated right in front of Anas.

[Ten Thousand Li Sword.]

Ping!

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Anas’ body, which was now stuck on some wall, was cut and torn apart by the attack.

[There are 5 seconds left.]

[Your HP has fallen below 9%...]

Anas’ expression grew extremely ugly. He struggled to stand up, but he could not even move a single finger. At that moment, he saw Minhyuk holding his sword loosely. His stance resembled that of Grandpa Ben. Then, he moved as if he were stabbing his sword.

[God’s Pinnacle Spear.]

The version of God’s Pinnacle Spear that Ben had polished several times and perfected could pierce through any enemy. And the spear created by God’s Pinnacle Spear stabbed Anas, who was already stuck in the wall, and pushed him deeper into it.

“Keuhaaaaack!”

[There are 4 seconds left.]

[Your HP has fallen below 5%.]

They might not be Pillars or Absolute Gods, but they were strong enough. Besides, the power that Minhyuk borrowed from them and unleashed right now was their ultimate and pinnacle skills.

Vwoooooong!

Demonic energy erupted from Minhyuk, who had already walked right in front of Anas. Then, he raised his sword and struck the man, who was stuck deep into the wall, down with all his might.

[Splitting the Great Demon.]

Swoosh!

Anas was split in half. At the same time, the walls behind him began to crumble apart. Finally freed from the walls, Anas jumped out and rushed out.

[There are 2 seconds left.]

[Your HP has dropped below 1.5%.]

Anas tried to utilize his skills to overcome the crisis he was now facing. Unfortunately for him, Minhyuk had already appeared in front of him.

“Transcendence.”

A spear created from a black stream of energy appeared in Minhyuk’s hands.

[Transcendental’s Spear.]

The spear shot forward and pierced through Anas’ heart. At that moment, Anas felt the life slowly drain out of him. Not only could he feel his body falling apart, but he could also feel his consciousness start to grow hazy.

[The effects of the hellfire have disappeared.]

Alas, there was no more room for recovery. Anas was already falling into his eternal rest.

Minhyuk approached him and whispered in his ear, “Don’t be too frustrated.”

He returned to Anas the words that he had uttered to him earlier, word for word.

“This is originally a world where the strong prey on the weak.”
