Chapter 669: Hanwoo

Minhyuk’s words struck deeply in the Bull Demon King’s mind.

‘You are not alone.’

After being abandoned by the Kingdom of Eden and fleeing for his life, the Bull Demon King thought that he was all alone. He thought that he would have to fight this war by himself.

.

‘How…’

The eyes of the soldiers from the place called the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom, were filled with complete faith and trust toward him, all the while showing their might and prowess, completely showing how they could protect him.

‘…Ha.’

The Bull Demon King barked a laugh. He did not remember how he met these people from another world, however, there was one thing that he was sure of.

‘I…’

He could tell that he had lived a very happy life there.

Meanwhile, Minhyuk triggered God’s Voice once again.

[The God from Another World is the King of the Beyond the Heavens’ Kingdom!!!]

Minhyuk looked back at the Beyond the Heavens’ troops.

The Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal Power to Govern Time and Space was a very special power.

(

?You can switch the current space that you are in with a space or place that you have been to before.?

?The number of people that you can move does not have any restrictions. However, you need the person’s approval before you can move them. With the power of the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal, everyone that came over from another space would not experience true death even if they died in your current space. Once you switch the space again, those that have died will come back to life.

?For the players, they will not receive any death penalty upon their death.

?They will also not receive any penalty even if they use a penalty-heavy skill.

It was a completely unbelievable and overpowered skill. Of course, from what Minhyuk could see, Sun Wukong could not freely use this skill either.

Minhyuk had sent a whisper to Genie while he was riding the Flying Nimbus to the battlefield. He had told her to leave the minimum amount of guards and get everyone else to prepare for battle.

Minhyuk would not call for them rashly and without any reason. He might be the king of the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom, but he knew that the other players and the troops were busy trying to gather the funds for the kingdom’s operations.

‘If we can hunt the Heavenly Army, then we will also be able to obtain artifacts and gold.’

Indeed, they could also gain huge profits in this place.

“Your Majesty, please give us your orders,” Genie said, glaring sharply at their enemies.

Most of the members of the Beyond the Heavens’ guild had chosen to participate in this battle. They did this not only because they wanted to help Hanwoo, but also because they wanted to fight against the strong people of this new world, Edea.

𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Minhyuk looked at Rumacar, who was charging at them, and spat coldly, “Destroy them.”

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

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!

Hundreds of Disses, shining with bright golden light, bloomed at the tip of Ali’s fingers and flew toward the battlefield.

Fwooooooosh—

The Disses that stabbed through the soldiers of the Heavenly Army did not stop even after piercing them, continuing to pierce through whoever was behind them.

This was what Ali had heard,

‘Give it your all the moment you enter the new world.’

He did not know the reason. However, Minhyuk had ordered them to not spare their MP, their cooldown, or even their penalty-heavy skills.

[The God of Magic’s Grace.]

[For ten minutes, your WIS and INT will increase by 20 and your magical attack power will increase by 1.4x!!!]

[For ten minutes, your MP volume will increase by 1.5x!!!]

[For ten minutes, your casting time will be reduced by 50%!]

Ali truly did not hold back, immediately casting and using every magic skill that he could.

“…!”

“…!”

Rumacar and the Heavenly Army were all shocked as their own divine army became helpless and unable to fight back in front of an unknown mage. On top of that, the Heavenly Army’s First Mage Order’s Commander Callan and the Second Mage Order’s Commander Edoen both tried to dispel Ali’s magic. However, their power was not enough to stop the hundreds of magical attacks that Ali had sent toward them.

Ali, the successor of the God of Magic, was a top ranker that was above Level 550. As for Callan and Edoen? They were both past Level 640. But no matter how much higher their levels and powers were, they would still be unable to fight against Ali, who had given his everything.

“Firestorm. Firestorm. Firestorm. Firestorm. Firestorm.”

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

Five tornadoes made of blazing flames appeared and devoured the Heavenly Army.

‘Are the people from another world that powerful?’

Rumacar was someone that had heard a lot of stories about other worlds. However, from what he had heard, the people from the other worlds were supposed to be far weaker than them. Yet, the scene in front of them painted a different picture.

‘Perhaps that guy is the only strong one?’?

Rumacar thought. However…

“Kihyeeeeeeeeeeeck!”

“Kihyaaaaaaaaaack!”

“Keuhaaaaaaaaaack!”

Hundreds of thousands of undead began to fall down from the sky above them.

Vwooooooooooooong—

A man carrying a huge scythe climbed on top of a bone dragon and glared at the soldiers of the Heavenly Army beneath him, while coldly saying, “Corpse…”

“…!”

“…Explosion.”

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

The explosions swept away the Heavenly Army. The scene was completely ridiculous.

The Heavenly Army was composed of countless strong men that have lived for hundreds of years and served as the Jade Emperor’s army. There was even a saying that the Heavenly Army was akin to the Jade Emperor himself, because of how powerful they were.

Rumacar said through gritted teeth, “Commander Aervo! Commander Callan!!!”

“Yes, sir!!!”

Rumacar immediately gave his orders to the commanders of the Heavenly Army. Just a single call of their name and they all understood what their army commander wanted to do. Commanders Aervo and Callan were both men that specialized in long-range attacks. They were strong men that surpassed even Sword’s Saint Aaron.

Commander Aervo shot toward Ali like a beam of light.

“You’re just at this level?”

“…!”

Aervo was shocked. That was because an old man with long, fluttering black hair appeared just above him, with his spear pointing straight at him.

“Absolute Pinnacle Spear.”

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

Hundreds of spears appeared above Aervo, shooting him down like lightning.

“Uuuuuugh!” Commander Aervo groaned, moving skillfully to parry the lightning-like spears as best as he could.

Stab, stab, stab—

However, the old man took advantage of the gap in his defenses and stabbed him several times in the chest with his spear.

“Keuhaaaaaaack!”

“

Tch…

!” Commander Callan clicked his tongue, terror creeping up his spine at the sight.

‘Aren’t they too strong?’

However, Callan did not forget what he needed to do. He leapt toward the undead that were falling from the sky above them.

“Giant’s Downward Strike.”

To his horror, a man immediately followed right behind him. Khan clasped his huge fists together and slammed it on Callan.

“Keuhaaaaaaaack!” A scream was ripped out of the mouth of the now falling Callan.

The still charging Rumacar frowned,

‘No way…’

Baaaaaaaaam—

Then, at that moment, two men flew swiftly. One of the men, Ares, had his feet covered with an eerie blue light.

“Rising Kick.”

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaang—

A very neat and precise rising kick was displayed.

Boooooooooom—

“Urghhhhh!” Callan groaned, his body once again sent upward.

This time, a man reached for the hilt of the sword on his waist and said, “Quick Draw.”

Slaaaaaash—

The power that was released by the quick draw and release of the sword instantly killed Callan.

“Keuhaaaaaaack…!”

“…”

Rumacar could not understand how Minhyuk’s kingdom was far stronger than what he initially expected them to be.

At this moment, the Bull Demon King shouted, “Help the warriors from the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom and drive away the Heavenly Army!!!”

“Uwaaaaaaaaaah!”

“Waaaaaaaaaah!!!”

“Charge!!!”

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

The penalty of the Dying Snake’s Ring that was imposed on the Bull Demon King had ended. Even Spear God Ben would find it extremely difficult to fight against the Bull Demon King at his full strength. This very same Bull Demon King was charging and sweeping away the Heavenly Army.

“Get rid of the Heavenly Army!!! The Jade Emperor is not a god that cares for us!!!”

With Sword’s Saint Aaron at the lead, the 200,000 strong troops of the Kingdom of Eden joined the battlefield. Aaron was a very clever man.

“Can you see this, warriors of Eden?! We can defeat the Jade Emperor’s Heavenly Army and drive them out!!!”

Rumacar made 500,000 of the Kingdom of Eden troops run back to the kingdom out of fear.

“Let’s go out there and fight too!!!”

“Uwaaaaaaaah!!!”

These very same soldiers opened the gates of the kingdom and charged out, fighting fiercely against the Heavenly Army to take down their ‘king’, Rumacar.

Baaaaaaaaaaaang—

In response, Rumacar swung his sword to create a huge storm of swords.

[The God of Snakes’ Wrath.]

Just as he did so, a red energy burst out of a little girl’s body, slithering and wrapping around not only Rumacar, but even the Heavenly Army and the commanders’ bodies.

[The system has been controlled!]

[You will not be able to use any kind of attack skill for ten minutes!]

“…”

Rumacar was left speechless.

‘Where the hell did these outrageous people come from?’

“Aaaaaaaaaack!”

“Keuhaaaaaaaaaack!”

“Aaaaaaargh!”

The Heavenly Army was being swept away by the nearly 700,000 troops from the Kingdom of Eden and the nearly 700,000 troops from the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom. There was even the Bull Demon King, who was pushing the Heavenly Army back with his pure strength alone.

“Ki… Kihihihihihihihi…” Rumacar’s shoulders shook as he covered his face with his hand. In the end, he broke out into a fit of laughter, “Keuhahahahahahaha!”

There were almost a hundred and forty million enemies, and many of them had shown powers that far exceeded his expectations. But if one were to ask Rumacar if he was confident in dealing with them, hee would answer ‘yes’ without any hesitation.

Rumacar did not know how long it would take. However, he could just come back and kill them one after the other once they exhausted their strength. That was right. Rumacar was confident that he would be the victor, even if he was against a million or two million enemies. In fact, he was even confident that he would be able to kill them all.

“Keuhahahahahahahahaha! Ahahahahahahahahaha!” Rumacar continued to laugh in the middle of the battlefield.

He felt like there was no need to do something so useless as coming back. It was more apt to kill these foolish people. What was more, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Eden had chosen to be the same with the others and even opted to defy the orders of the Jade Emperor. Rumacar was confident that the Jade Emperor would understand and be considerate to him.

Rumacar continued to stand in the middle of the battlefield and called out to the Jade Emperor, “My Lord, Jade Emperor, grant me the power of those that have died.”

Slash— slash—

The enemies around Rumacar were being cut down. He looked like he was dancing around the battlefield unimpeded and free.

[The Jade Emperor has answered your call.]

The blood that the dead shed on the battlefield slowly rose from the ground.

Slash, slash—

“Bring judgment upon these foolish ones and show them the right path,” Rumacar asked the Jade Emperor, a blank look on his face.

Slash, slash—

Then, he slashed his own finger and added a drop of his own blood to the blood that was rushing to the sky. Then, at that moment…

[An Ancient Envoy has awakened to the world!!!]

[The Jade Emperor has bestowed upon you the authority over the Ancient Envoys!]

[Now, you will be able to give orders not only to the Heavenly Army, but also to the Ancient Heavenly Army!]

Rumacar was not the only envoy of the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor also had the Ancient Envoys, envoys that were said to be the most powerful since time immemorial. Now, some of these envoys had awakened. One of those that have awakened was just like Rumacar, the army commander of the Heavenly Army.

It seemed like the Jade Emperor was also furious about this situation.

A man wearing rusty armor stood at the sky above them. He was followed by 800,000 troops of the Ancient Heavenly Army.

Dong—! Dong—! Dong—! Dong—!

Fear struck the hearts of the troops of the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom and the Kingdom of Eden as the thunderous echoes of the drums rang out across the battlefield.

Rumacar said, “Today, the Kingdom of Eden will disappear from the annals of history.”

He intended to kill all of the people here. He had deemed the Kingdom of Eden as completely rotten to the core. Besides, there were far too many people in that kingdom that went against the Jade Emperor. It was only right for them to disappear.

The most thrilling part for Rumacar was the fact that Ancient Envoy Lebanon, the one hailed as the Death Commander, had made his appearance here. After all, Lebanon was an existence that even Rumacar could not hold a candle to.

Then, Lebanon spoke.

[Die.]

Baaaaaaaaaaaaang—

Hundreds of thousands of swords burst out of Lebanon’s sword and rained down upon everyone on the ground.

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

“

Uwaaaaaaaaack!”

“Keuaaaaaaaack!”

“Keheooook!”

At that moment, 60,000 of the troops on the ground disappeared without a trace.

“…!”

“…!”

“…!”

The people of the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom, and even the Bull Demon King, could not hide how flustered they were. The battle had now come to an end. There was no way for them to continue. After all, none of them expected for Death Commander Lebanon and the Ancient Heavenly Army to appear here.

Lebanon stood next to Rumacar.

“Kghhk! Kihihihihihihihihihi! Kill those ants!!! Huh? Kahahahahahahaha!!!”

Rumacar’s laughter reverberated across the battlefield that had been engulfed in silence. All of the surviving troops could not help but gulp dryly. As for Rumacar? He looked at the wretched look on everyone’s faces and continued to laugh.

“Kihihihihihihihi! Ahahahahahahaha!”

However, the corners of Minhyuk’s mouth started to twitch amidst Rumacar’s continuous laughter.

“Kihihi…”

“…”

“Fufufufufufufu. Fwahahahahahahahahahahahaha!”

Then, Minhyuk began to laugh loudly.

“…?”

Rumacar could not hide his confusion at Minhyuk’s reaction.

‘All of the puzzle pieces have been fitted together.’

Minhyuk and Sun Wukong had created a plan, which had now come to fruition.

[You have used the Jade Emperor’s Seal!]

Minhyuk took out the seal and held it out for everyone to see. Then, he said, “Jade Emperor, I have your seal. Now, you have to grant my wish.”

“…!!!”

Rumacar knew what kind of item the Jade Emperor’s Seal was. Basically, it was an item that proved the Jade Emperor’s existence. One could think of it as a seal. However, that seal was the item that has allowed the Jade Emperor to remain in the ‘position of God’ in this world. It was also an item that could allow anyone in possession to ask the Jade Emperor to grant one of their wishes.

“The entire Heavenly Army led by Rumacar that is present here.”

Rumacar felt his lips start to go dry.

“As well as Ancient Envoy Lebanon and the Ancient Heavenly Army that he leads. The leadership and authority over all of these divine troops…”

“…”

Minhyuk turned around to where the Bull Demon King, or Hanwoo, was. Then, he pointed his finger at him and said, “Bestow it upon him.”

“…!”

“…!”

“…!”

“…!”

Then, at that moment…

[The Bull Demon King has been entrusted with the leadership and authority over the entire Heavenly Army!!!]

Grab—

Immediately after that, the tall and majestic Lebanon turned to Rumacar and grabbed him by the neck.

Minhyuk looked at Rumacar and laughed, “F*cking bastard.”

“…!”
