BXBX NOVEL Chapter 691: The God of Death and the Hell Corps
Chapter 691: The God of Death and the Hell Corps
“Kihyeeeeeeeck!”
“Kihyiiiiiiiick!”
The hundreds of thousands of demonic beasts and Hell Corps shrieked as the light slowly expanded and enveloped the world.
Sizzleeee—
Sizzleee—
The demonic beasts and the Hell Corps began to melt away.
Meanwhile, everyone fighting for the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom, including their soldiers and guild members, started to get healed. The injuries that littered their bodies were recovering while their skill cooldowns had started to reset.
[When he first came here, he was just an ordinary man. However, he became a role model to many.]
The voice rang in the ears of everyone present on the battlefield as the light expanded even further. Was it Minhyuk’s God’s Voice? No, not at all.
[He built up and developed his holy power by killing plenty of evil beings.]
Diiiiiiiiiing—
Along with those words, the first chime of a bell rang.
[He embraced and took many under his wing, eventually becoming their king.]
Diiiiiiiiiiing—
The bell chimed a second time.
[With the holy power that he has gathered, he received recognition from the Sacred Papal Sword and became its new owner.]
Diiiiiiiiiiing—
The bell chimed a third time as a man, whose eyes were closed, walked out of the source of the blinding white light. There was a golden sword hanging on his waist with the word ‘Minhyuk’ engraved on the blade. The gold-lined, embroidered white papal robe on his body caused his white skin, sculpted features and dark hair to stand out even more, looking radiant.
[From the very beginning, up to this moment, and into the future, he will remain as the kind and benevolent man that he is.]
Diiiiiiiiiiiing—
The bell chimed a fourth time.
Minhyuk, who was wearing a papal robe, slowly opened his eyes. His eyes captured the sight of his people and his guild members, who had fallen into the pits of despair. A bitter yet soft smile appeared on his face as he looked at them. Then, a powerful and imposing notification rang in their ears.
[He is the one that holds divine power, the friend of all, the king, the legend, the God.]
[His name? Minhyuk. The ones that hold holy power, heed his call.]
Flash—
Flaaaaash—
Flaaaaaaash—
Then, at that moment, blinding lights burst out from all over the place. The lights were so bright that no one could even open their eyes from the shocking glare.
Evern Religion.
Ailen Religion.
Favu Religion.
Bratilla Religion.
Gorbandi Religion.
Luacha Religion.
Coin Religion.
Hundreds, then thousands, then millions of people, with their faces covered by the hood of their priestly robes which carried the pattern of all of the religions that existed in the world began to appear one after another.
There were knights carrying swords that emitted bright light, priests carrying their god’s religion’s doctrines close to their hearts, and even believers with their hands clasped together in prayer.
Just like that, tens of millions of people wearing white priestly robes carrying different patterns appeared all around Minhyuk.
[Share this glorious moment together.]
Diiiiiiiiiing—
As the bell chimed a fifth time, all of the paladins, priests, popes, and believers turned to look at Minhyuk alone.
[Remember this glorious moment.]
Diiiiiiiiiiing—
As if the bell’s sixth chime was a signal, everyone pulled the hood that covered their heads.
[The path that he will tread will soon become the path of legends.]
Diiiiiiiing—
With the bell’s seventh chime, Minhyuk held the Sacred Papal Sword with both hands.
“Your Majesty…”
“Your Majeeeeeeesty!”
“Your Majesty Minhyuuuuuuuk!!!”
The people cried out for their king. The king that had always been there for them since the very beginning! The King that had always fought for them since day one!
[Pray for him.]
At that moment, the tens of millions of popes, paladins, priests and believers prayed in their own unique ways. The paladins held their swords upright and placed them on their chests while the priests held their god’s doctrine to their chests. Every single one of them was paying a silent tribute to the man in front of them. Then, a powerful burst of light appeared one after another from those that prayed.
[Your prayers have given courage to those that are feeling fear.]
Diiiiiiiiiiiiing—
The bright light slowly spread out and covered the soldiers and executives of Beyond the Heavens Kingdom.
[All of your stats have increased by 23%!]
[When facing evil beings, your attack power will increase by 15%!]
[You will not be able to feel any kind of fear!]
Then, the bell chimed for the ninth time.
[Submit to him.]
Diiiiiiiiing—
PD Kim Daeguk, with the little girl still tightly held in his embrace, looked up at Minhyuk.
There were tens of millions of people in white priestly robes looking at Minhyuk with firm determination in their eyes. Minhyuk stepped forward with the golden sword in both his hands.
“Destroy them.”
Diiiiiiiiing—
Along with those words, the bell chimed a tenth time. At the same time, holy power spread out from the hands of the tens of millions of priests, melting the demonic beasts in the area.
The paladins also marched forward, following right behind Minhyuk, who was walking at the vanguard.
[After three minutes of absolute obedience and subservience from the Pope’s Journey, they will return to the place that they originally were in!]
Ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping—
Millions of paladins rushed out, wielding their swords and sending their bright and shining sword lights. All of the Hell Corps and demonic beasts that stood in their path collapsed.
Pope Kronad had temporarily sent them here.
‘We don’t have time.’
Countless notifications had rung in Minhyuk’s ears as he ran forward with millions of paladins escorting him.
[The One that Wields the Papal Sword.]
[When facing evil, all of your attack will increase by 75% while all of your defense will increase by 50%.]
[You have ignored all abnormal status inflicted by evil beings!]
Immediately after that, Minhyuk’s black hair slowly turned to white as a pure halo appeared behind him, leaving a bright aura on the path that he traversed.
[Pope’s Dignity.]
[Effects will be applied based on the situation. You can change the color of your hair or even the shape of the artifact that you’re wielding!]
It was obvious that the Pope’s Dignity was a power created by the maker of this sword likely when he was drunk on anything and everything ‘cool’. The skill would apply the appropriate effects to the situation, whether it was changing one’s body parts or artifacts.
“Kieeeeeeeck!”
“Kyahaaaaaaack!”
The paladins opened up the path for him, allowing Minhyuk to run unimpeded with the holy sword in his hands.
“You bastard…!”
His destination was none other than Great Demon Verus.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
Great Demon Verus unleashed a powerful force, completely engulfing Minhyuk. Unfortunately for him, Minhyuk currently had a very high defense against evil beings, and even received an additional 50% in defense thanks to the passive skill: The One that Wields the Papal Sword.
Pure white wings with beautiful and fine feathers slowly unfurled on Minhyuk’s back as he continued to run forward. The wings on his back spread widely as he finally reached Great Demon Verus. This was also the effect that was deemed perfect for the situation, created by the Pope’s Dignity.
Flap—
A strong flap of the wings on Minhyuk’s back propelled him upward, bringing him face to face with Verus as a bright light appeared around the Sacred Papal Sword in his hands.
At first, Minhyuk felt utterly disappointed when he acquired the Sacred Papal Sword, because the Sacred Papal Sword did not have any ‘Absolute Kill’ skill. However, after Obren was freed from his seal, the sealed power of the Sacred Papal Sword was also lifted and Minhyuk acquired the skill: ‘Pope’s Sword’.
(Pope’s Sword)
Artifact Skill
Level: None
Mana Required: 700
Penalty: None
Cooldown: 480 hours
Effects:
•The Pope’s Sword responds to evil beings. It is a sword that destroys evil.
•The stronger the evil being is, the higher the damage. The higher the wickedness of the evil being is, the higher the damage.
The reason why Minhyuk considered this skill to be too overpowered was because there was no limit placed on the amount of damage that he could send towards evil beings.
Earlier, when Minhyuk was running towards Verus, numerous notifications rang in his ears.
[The Sacred Papal Sword has recognized the evil being!]
[Your damage will increase upon activation of Pope’s Sword.]
[The Sacred Papal Sword…evil being!]
[Your damage…activation of Pope’s Sword.]
[The Sacred Papal Sword…evil being!]
[Your damage…activation of Pope’s Sword.]
In fact, Minhyuk thought that this battlefield was the perfect place for the Pope’s Sword to display its strength to the greatest effect.
“Bastard!!! You’re trying to destroy me once again!!!” Great Demon Verus bellowed, his hideous and terrifying yellow eyes glinting dangerously as he watched Minhyuk, whose white wings were unfurled behind his back, approach him.
Minhyuk swung his sword, which was engulfed with a bright light, down with all his might at Verus.
[Pope’s Sword.]
[The Pope’s Sword has recognized the evil being! You will be able to deal an additional 150,315% damage upon your enemy!!!]
Many who were watching Minhyuk with his white wings and sword engulfed in light, felt some sort of yearning for that power. Also, the scene looked utterly beautiful to the point that they could not take their eyes off of it.
Slaaaaaaaash—
Because of the extremely high damage inflicted by the Pope’s Sword, Great Demon Verus’ body was split in half, his body not given time to regenerate.
Fwiiiiiiiiish—
Verus’ body was engulfed by the light of Minhyuk’s divine and holy sword, both halves slowly disappearing into nothingness.
Tap—
Minhyuk, with his white hair, landed softly on the ground. He turned to look at his people and his guild members.
At that moment, Genie remembered the urgent whisper that Minhyuk had sent earlier.
[Minhyuk: Genie, I will not be able to stay here for long. I will be sent back in ten minutes. So, hurry and gather all of the Beyond the Heavens’ executives.]
Genie did not know what Minhyuk intended to do but she still carried out his request and gathered all of the best players and members of Beyond the Heavens including Carr, Khan, Locke, Ares, Spear God Ben, Conir, God of Snakes Elizabeth and many more.
Meanwhile, the commentators gushed out in admiration as they watched Minhyuk turn to look at the Beyond the Heavens’ citizens, troops and guild members.
[Beyond the Heavens’ Food God Minhyuk has created another legend.]
[This video of him leading tens of millions of paladins, priests and believers will most definitely be considered as the best video of the year.]
But that was not the end yet.
Swoosh—
Minhyuk, whose white hair slowly bled out and returned to black, walked towards his guild members.
Flash—
Everyone watched in confusion as Minhyuk disappeared in a flash of light, together with the tens of millions of paladins, priests and believers. Although the Pope’s Journey’s Absolute Obedience and Subservience had not yet ended, they had already disappeared.
But then, at that moment, a beautiful voice spread across the earth.
[A long time ago, greedy humans tried to build a temple to fight the gods.]
[However, the temple that would be used to fight against the gods was not completed. It disappeared forever, only to remain in the annals of history.]
[Today, this temple has found its new owner.]
[Temple Evangel, the temple in the legends and the myths, answers the call of its new owner.]
Baaaaaaaaaaang—
A pillar of light shot down and rapidly formed a temple.
Crack, crack, crack, crack—
The walls of the temple were pure white and lined with diamonds. It was huge and magnificent. And inside that temple, the gigantic statue of Food God Minhyuk was erected. At the same time, beautiful flowers and lush trees, as well as well-placed vines grew around the temple, giving the entire place a more stylish feel. Finally, a door made of white wood appeared, completing Temple Evangel.
When the white doors opened, they saw Minhyuk sitting on the golden throne inside the temple. He was wearing a papal robe, and he looked at the executives and players of the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom standing beyond the doors of the temple with a soft smile on his face.
[Temple Evangel has revealed its full appearance!]
[Minhyuk, the new owner of Temple Evangel, has triggered the temple’s power!]
[Your character is being controlled by the system.]
Then, the chosen ones that Genie had gathered walked inside the temple one after the other. They lined up in front of Minhyuk and knelt down to show their courtesy.
Crackle—
Crackle—
Crackle—
White flames appeared and enveloped their bodies. To be exact, the white flames were creating white priestly robes that suited their bodies. On the back of those priestly robes was the symbol of the fork and knife, the mark that symbolized Food God Minhyuk.
Then, Minhyuk stood up and slowly descended with the Sacred Papal Sword in his hands. He stopped in front of the kneeling Genie and gently placed the sword on her left shoulder.
[The lord of the Temple Evangel and the god that owns the Sacred Papal Sword is bestowing upon you his love and affection.]
Then, he lightly tapped the sword on Genie’s right shoulder and the top of her head.
[You are now the first knight acknowledged by the lord of Temple Evangel.]
[All of your skills and stats will change!]
The power of the legendary temple, Temple Evangel, was the power of ‘buff’.
