Chapter 737: God of Birth Gaerna

Chapter 737: God of Birth Gaerna

“Kihyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeck!!!” Gaerna shrieked, her eyes trailing after the falling Brod.

She tried to hurriedly move out of the way but it did not work out at all. The powerful force that Brod was emitting was enough to make Gaerna, one of the Six Monster Gods, to feel numb all over.

Staaaaaaaaaaaab—

Brod’s red sword pierced through Gaerna’s thick and sturdy-looking mantis head. That first attack did not kill her, so he stabbed her head once again, causing her to scream uncontrollably once more.

“Kihyaaaaaaaaack—!”

Brod frowned as he pulled his sword out of Gaerna’s head. She struggled like crazy and swung her blade-like arms fiercely.

“Graaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!” Gaerna shrieked strangely, running around amok while green blood dripped down her mouth. “It hurts! Hurts! Hurts! Hurts! It huuuuuuuuuuuuuurts!”

The entire world held their breath. Who was Brod? He was known as the Beyond the Heavens’ Sword and the Absolute God’s Sword. He was also known as Minhyuk’s faithful and loyal vassal. However, the announcement that Brod was the brightest Sun that the Battle God had recognized really struck them.

The only person that was called the Sun right now was Nerva. However, the fact that the Battle God admitted that he was the only ‘Sun’ that he had recognized meant that he cared more about Brod in the past.

“Crazy…”

“What the hell? How many strong people are with Minhyuk?”

Everyone from all over the world, including the rankers present here, were looking at Minhyuk in admiration. However, the battle was not yet over. The Red Sword Knights, like falling stars, shot down from the sky while swinging their swords.

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

Just like that, the parasitic soldiers were taken out, getting swept away by their sword attacks. The entire world cheered as they watched Gaerna’s mighty army begin to collapse.

“Kihyaaaaaaaaaaaack!”

After running around like crazy, Gaerna recovered to some extent. Of course, the first thing that she did was to pull back and run away from Brod.

Swoooooooooooosh—

The rankers could not even see her make a move.

Thud, thud, thud, thud, thud— thud—

Everywhere she passed by, heads rolled on the ground once again. However, Brod also made his move.

“Kihyaaaaaaaaaaaack!”

Brod made a grab for Gaerna by the back of her head. He then controlled his sword, which was stuck on the ground, to move and aimed for Gaerna’s head.

Pooooof—

Gaerna tried to think after escaping from Brod’s grasp earlier. However, before she could even do so, Brod had already appeared and grabbed her by the head again.

Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack—

Cracks appeared all over Gaerna’s body as she fell on the ground. Brod glared coldly at her and said, “This lord has never allowed you to touch His Majesty’s body.”

‘Mercenary’s Pinnacle Swordsmanship. Final Chapter.’

“Wolf’s Death.”

Slash, slash, slash, slash, slash, slash, slash, slash—

Hundreds of sword lights shot from Brod’s sword and slashed Gaerna’s body.

“Kihyaaaaaaaaack!” Gaerna shrieked, crossing her arms to try and block the attacks. But it was useless, the sword lights were too sharp and fast, piercing through her body until they dug deeply in the ground beneath her.

“Kihyaaaaaaaaack!”

Many people held their breath as they watched Gaerna scream terribly. They felt like Brod could kill Gaerna at the rate things were going.

[You have heard the Battle God’s voice.]

[You have used God’s Summons Parchment.]

After that, he no longer heard the Battle God’s voice. Minhyuk knew that the Battle God did not do this because he viewed Minhyuk favorably. He was aware that the Battle God was worried about Brod and not himself, and that he also wanted to kill Gaerna.

‘And.’

There was one thing that Minhyuk could guess after hearing the Battle God’s voice urgently delivered to him.

‘Does this mean that Brod can’t kill Gaerna right now?’

Minhyuk had been shocked when he had first received the God’s Summons Parchment. He immediately tore the parchment apart.

Riiiip—

Hundreds of beams of lights shot out from Minhyuk’s body and flew to various parts of Athenae.

***

Gaerna, who was stabbed in numerous places, was suffering from terrible pain.

At the same time, she was so hungry that she had to eat those humans. However, the Brightest Sun acknowledged by the Battle God would not allow her! He would not leave her alone!

She was hungry, that was why she ate those humans.

She was hungry, that was why she ate those gods.

Did she do something wrong? No. There was nothing wrong with what she did. The strong would always eat the weak. So, was she being eaten by Brod? No.

“Kihihihihihihihihihihi! Kihehehehehehehehehehe!”

Despite still being buried deep into the ground, Gaerna cackled. As her laughter reverberated in the world, another message followed right after.

[Gaerna, who had been defending against the Battle God, laughed.]

The damn memory from that time flashed in her head.

[She laughed.]

“Kihehehehehehehehehe!”

[Blood spurted out from all over the Battle God’s body.]

Blood had spurted out from the body of the Battle God, the greatest and strongest Absolute God. At this point, the people realized that they had not witnessed the full extent of Gaerna’s power.

“Kihyaaaaaaaaaaaaack!”

“Kiheeeeeeeeeeeeeeck!”

Click, click, click, click, click!

The parasitic soldiers cried loudly before charging madly towards Gaerna.

Shwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa—!

Gaerna opened her mandibles, its opening growing into a thirty meter wide pit. Brod, the Red Sword Knights, and the supremes immediately noticed something unusual and tried to stop her.

[Gaerna’s Gluttony has been triggered!]

[Gaerna’s Gluttony cannot be resisted!]

Even if they wanted to stop her, they could not approach her. In the end, all they could do was watch Gaerna prey on her parasitic soldiers. This fact made Brod and the supremes devastated.

But then, Alexander’s expression turned weird.

[God is calling upon you.]

[You will be forced to log out once you answer God’s call!]

[Those that will choose to answer God’s call will only receive the penalty of not being able to access and connect to the game for forced log out!]

“…?”

Alexander turned his head and looked at Minhyuk. He could see that Minhyuk’s hair had already grown longer while his eyes had taken on a reddish hue. The sight brought shock to Alexander. ‘Don’t tell me…’

At the same time, the same notifications rang in the ears of the other supremes.

[God is calling upon you.]

[You will be forced to log out once you answer God’s call!]

[Those that will choose to answer God’s call will only receive the penalty of not being able to access and connect to the game for forced log out!]

Everyone panicked for a very brief moment.

Gulp—

Their eyes were still glued to Gaerna, who was eating her parasitic soldiers. This meant that once she was done with that, she would be in her complete form and likely exerting her full strength. In that tense and nerve-wracking moment, a person answered God’s call first.

“I answer God’s call.”

Everyone turned to look at the direction of the voice. The person that answered God’s call was none other than Calauhel.

Calauhel looked at Minhyuk. For him, he hated and resented Minhyuk more than anybody else. In fact, he felt annoyed at his very existence. However, Calauhel also knew that the only person that could end this war right now was Minhyuk.

Alexander immediately said after him, “I will answer.”

“Answer!”

“I will answer the call!!!”

Anyway, there was a high chance that they would die here. The fact that those that would answer the call would not receive any penalty except for the forced logout penalty where they could not access the game for some time was already a sweet deal.

“Deliciooooooouuuuuuuuus!”

A creepy and spine-chilling voice reverberated in the world as the sky above them turned red.

[Gaerna’s Craze has been triggered.]

[All of Gaerna’s abilities will increase by 70% and her attributed skills will also be available while Gaerna’s Craze is in effect!]

[The Craze’s duration is five minutes.]

Then, Gaerna’s message immediately followed.

[When Gaerna went into a craze for five minutes, a fifth of the Land of the Gods disappeared without a trace.]

The message was incredibly startling. Everyone could only hold their breaths and watch what would unfold next.

Meanwhile, Minhyuk just stood there and continued to look at the sky as these notifications rang in his ears.

[You have used God’s Summons!]

[While using God’s Summons…]

[You cannot move.]

[The enemies will not be able to inflict any harm upon your body!]

Then, blood began to pour down from the red sky.

Kyahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Gaerna squeezed herself out of the ground, her skin a bright and glaring red. Then, with a voice that sounded like grating metal, she said, “Die.”

[God’s Catastrophe has unfolded.]

[One swing of Gaerna’s arms and tens of thousands of blades will appear and destroy her enemies.]

Slaaaaaaaaaaaaaash—

Tens of thousands of blades appeared and reaped the lives of many present, and turned them into nothing but ashes. Even the ground, the trees, the rocks, everything that her arms passed by disappeared without a trace.

With just one swing of Gaerna’s arms, more than 800 supremes died. The aftermath of the attack also swept away several Red Sword Knights, forcing them to scatter in the wind.

“Dieeeee!”

Slaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaash—

Once again, tens of thousands of blades appeared. This time, they flew towards Alexander. Alexander felt his body get torn into pieces, like paper being ripped apart. However, his head had turned to look at Minhyuk.

“Dieeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!”

Another swing and Brod was pushed back. This time, it was Calauhel and God of Archery Miao that turned into ashes, their gazes fixed upon Minhyuk as they slowly disappeared.

“Die! Die! Die! Dieeee!!!”

Everyone on the ground was dying one after the other. In just an instant, more than 6,000 of the supremes had disappeared. As for the remaining 2,000-odd, they were left in the pits of despair.

“Die! Die! Die! Die! Kekekekekekekekeke!!!”

“Ugh, aaaaaaaaaaargh!!!”

“Crazy…”

“I don’t want to die!”

A scream rang out. For NPCs, this was very frustrating. Once they died here, they would truly and utterly be dead. Some of them collapsed on the ground, crying. Some wielded their sword until their very last breath.

Slash, slash, slash, slash, slash, slash, slash!

Only one man stood firm in the face of these deaths. Fortunately, Minhyuk’s vassals were able to survive thanks to Elizabeth’s barrier.

“Kekekekekekekekeke!”

[The Battle God managed to survive and prevent God’s Disaster and seal Gaerna.]

“No one will be able to stop me now! Kekekekekekekeke!”

A cloud of dust bloomed from this now barren land hiding Minhyuk from view, who was bathing in bright light.

Gaerna was not an idiot. She planned to run away before Minhyuk could even trigger his power. So, she spread her wings and shot out from the thick cloud of dust to the sky above.

“Kikikikikikikikiiii!!!”

[If Gaerna escapes, then the only one that will be able to catch and kill her would be the Luvien Empire.]

[It seems like they have no other choice but to let Gaerna escape.]

[Many have already died. Based on our estimations, there’s only less than 1,000 of the strongest rankers that have survived this battle.]

Gaerna, who had already flown to the sky, smiled strangely as she tried to turn around. However, the Battle God’s voice rang loudly in her ears.

[The Stars have answered God’s call.]

The red sky suddenly turned dark. Immediately after that, tens of thousands of stars started to fall from the dark sky. The falling stars burst into a bright and blinding light that surrounded and engulfed Gaerna. In just a blink, Minhyuk, with red hair reaching up to his waist, flew and appeared in front of Gaerna.

[Continental Emperor Ellie has answered God’s call.]

[Mercenary King Venteio has answered God’s call.]

[Elven King Argon has answered God’s call.]

[Great Demon Gremory…God’s call.]

[Player Locke…God’s call.]

[Player Alexander…God’s call.]

[Sword God Valen…God’s call.]

As the bright light slowly disappeared, Gaerna was horrified to see countless translucent figures appear with her enemy.

[The Ones that responded to God’s call can use their ‘One Shot Kill Skill’ once!]

Gaerna did not have any path for escape.

Sword God Valen’s soul stood next to Minhyuk. God’s Summons was an item that allowed God to ask all of the people that he had connection with, whether they be players, NPCs, or even the dead NPCs, for their ultimate lethal attacks.

All of the people that answered Minhyuk’s call pointed their weapons at Gaerna. Sword Emperor Ellie and Sword God Valen pointed their swords at her. Genie prepared to swing her whip while Locke stood ready with his axes. Elven King Argon pulled the strings of his bows as the Dragon King raised his trident and pointed it at Gaerna’s neck. In fact, everyone, including the players, were moving according to the will of the system.

“Kihyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeck!” Gaerna, who realized that she had lost her chance to escape, shrieked.

Minhyuk held his sword tightly as he triggered the Sword of Absolute Death. With that as the signal, everyone began to cast their own One Shot Kill Skills.

Slash, slash, slash, slash, slash, slash, slash!

Tens of thousands of the strongest skills poured out and struck Gaerna’s body. Attacks from swords, arrows, spears, axes, magic, holy magic, and even the stars exploded in the sky.

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang—

The light created by these explosions illuminated and shook the entire Athenae.

Rumbleeeeeeeeeeeeee—

Amidst the rumbling and shaking world, this notification rang in Minhyuk’s ears.

[You have killed Gaerna!]
