Chapter 1047
Notifications rang constantly in Minhyuk’s ears after they had successfully made the Supreme Dish. But there was only one notification that registered in Minhyuk’s ears.
[The Supreme Monarch will disappear thirty minutes after the completion of the Supreme Dish!]
Minhyuk smiled faintly as he hugged Arlene. Then, he rose to his feet and stood beside the Battle God, who had finished all the preparations he needed.
The scene of the Battle God, the most powerful Absolute God and the one who led all armies in the world, and Minhyuk, hailed as the Supreme among the players, standing side by side in front of the maze with Arlene crying behind them, was breathtaking. It was just like a scene in the movies.
“You two, what are you...”
Minhyuk and the Battle God looked back at the crying Arlene. There was a faint smile on both of their faces.
They weren’t being reckless. After all, they had figured out a way to kill the Supreme Monarch. They only needed the power that could allow them to break anything labelled as “unconditional” or “invincible”, like the power of the Absolute One’s Breaker Ring. The Battle God possessed a skill like that, as did the Battle God’s Five Generals.
The crying Arlene understood the meaning of the smiles flashing on the faces of the two men in front of her.
‘It’s too dangerous.’
However, the problem was not simply about the Supreme Monarch’s HP or defensive power. The Supreme Monarch was so powerful that he could cut down Minhyuk and the Battle God with a single strike.
“If you die this time...” The God of Cooking trailed off. She wanted to shout, ‘Then you will die for real.’ but the desire for revenge that was buried deep in her heart had stopped her from doing so.
Seeing the smile that graced the faces of the two, Arlene finally realised what she needed to say. She shouted, “Kill the damn bastard!”
The Battle God slung his sword over his shoulder. “That’s what I intend to do.”
Then, a notification rang in Minhyuk’s ears.
Ring!
[Sudden Quest: Arlene’s Wish.]
Rank: SSS
Requirements: The ones who received Arlene’s request.
Rewards: ???
Penalty for Failure: Unable to fulfil Arlene’s wish forever.
Description: Arlene has been waiting for a very long time when she can cook the Frenzied Ingredient and kill the Supreme Monarch. But even though she had successfully cooked the ingredient, she is still very sad. Kill the Supreme Monarch and fulfil her wishes.
The smile on Minhyuk’s face grew wider when he heard the contents of the notification.
“Today...”
The crying Arlene stopped and stared at Minhyuk.
“...will be the day that we will achieve two Supremes.”
Two Supremes. The first Supreme was their successful cooking of the Supreme Dish. And the second? It would be their successful hunt of the Supreme Monarch.
The two gods ran straight into the maze.
***
The entire world poured into Minhyuk’s live broadcast. An overwhelming number of broadcasting stations worldwide had asked for cooperation to broadcast his live footage.
Everyone had seen how powerful the Supreme Monarch was. They knew that he could never be killed. Why? First, his attack power was so high that he could easily overwhelm the gods. And if one considered his special characteristics, they believed that even the Eight Pillars would not be able to do anything about him.
But for a split second, the Supreme Monarch’s true self, hidden underneath a thick and sturdy shell, became visible to them.
[Minhyuk and the Battle God are running through the maze.]
[Minhyuk’s live broadcast drone shows the maze's inside.]
[We had seen that the Supreme Monarch’s HP is 3.5 million. It’s an overwhelmingly high HP.]
[There’s also his level. It’s above Level 900.]
[But even if it’s only a short gap, they could break through anything “invincible” and “absolute.” If Minhyuk and the Battle God attacked him with everything they had, then it would not be impossible for them to cut down someone with 3.5 million HP.]
[One is Athenae’s Supreme while the other is the strongest Absolute God!]
[Dear viewers, I can guarantee that this scene playing right before our eyes will become a legend that will be talked about for a long time.]
[Right now, we cannot properly see Minhyuk’s live broadcast on ZTube. It is being covered by the donation notifications popping up every second from people worldwide.]
[It seems like people from ZTube also tuned in to this live broadcast. They have already posted an announcement. All notifications regarding donations and sponsorships will be summarised and posted at the end of the broadcast.]
[We can now see the scene of the live broadcast properly again.]
[We’re just in time! Minhyuk and the Battle God are now approaching the Supreme Monarch!]
The commentators slowly quieted down. As one of the viewers, they were also very nervous about what was to come. Even the viewers’ palms were covered in sweat. After all, one single mistake would lead to eternal death.
Then, they saw the running Minhyuk hand something to the Battle God. It was a hamburger that was better than an ordinary legendary-grade hamburger. The Battle God gobbled up the dish. As for Minhyuk? He hasn’t eaten anything yet. He was waiting for the right moment to use Overlapping Delight.
Not long after, the two gods finally encountered the Supreme Monarch.
“...”
“...”
The tension in the air was palpable. The Supreme Monarch’s fury had already reached its peak. Why? He had gotten lost inside the maze, and the Frenzied Ingredient, which he had to protect, had been successfully cooked.
[I... will kill... you!]
Shwaaaaaaaa–!
A force stronger than the ones he had released before erupted inside the maze as the Supreme Monarch charged frantically toward them.
The Battle God and Minhyuk looked at each other. They only had around twenty seconds or so.
“Divine Sortie.”
Flash, flash, flash–!
A hundred gods appeared as light shot out from the tip of the Battle God’s fingers. The Divine Sortie skill could summon one hundred close combat-class gods. However, the summoned gods could not use their skills, authorities, or divine power. Even so, their abilities were enough to deal tremendous damage to their opponent. On top of that, even if the summoned gods died, they would be brought back to life once the skill ended.
Slash–!
Bang, bang, bang–!
But despite the sheer number of gods blocking the maze’s narrow path, the Supreme Monarch’s huge sword easily swept them away.
Stab– stab, stab–!
Nevertheless, the gods continued to attack the Supreme Monarch. Their attacks did not matter to the Supreme Monarch, whose HP was not decreasing at all.
“The Breaker.”
At that moment, the ring on Minhyuk’s finger flashed. At the same time, the power that could ignore any kind of absolute power for two seconds activated.
Shwaaaaaaaa–!
[Keuaaaaaaack?!]
For the first time, a scream escaped the Supreme Monarch’s mouth. He was shocked by the blood that spurted out of his body the moment their attacks landed on him.
[It... h... urts?]
Minhyuk and the Battle God realised that the Supreme Monarch did not feel pain because of his infinite HP.
But at this moment, he was screaming non-stop from the pain inflicted by the attacks sent by the hundred gods.
[Keuaaaaaaaaack!!!]
A red glow appeared in the already ferocious eyes of the screaming Supreme Monarch.
Boom–!
Boom, boom, boom–!
Then, the heads of the gods around him began to explode one after another. That was when Minhyuk and the Battle God saw the laser-like red spot sitting snugly between their eyebrows. They immediately bowed their heads as low as they could.
Boom–!
A loud and devastating explosion erupted just right behind them. Then, the two ran among the exploding gods. Once again, the Supreme Monarch’s HP had returned to its infinite status. Seeing this, the Battle God stretched his hand and pointed his sword at the Supreme Monarch.
“In the name of the Battle God.”
BANG–!
An overwhelming force appeared and devoured the Supreme Monarch.
[Nothing can block the path of the one carrying the name of the Battle God.]
Once again, the infinite power that enveloped and protected the Supreme Monarch disappeared.
[Supreme Monarch. Level 943. HP: 3,130,430. MP: 3,670,000]
Just like they had expected, the damage that the Supreme Monarch received when the infinite status was lifted off of him would remain even if the status came back. So, the two gods did not hold anything back.
“Calamity.”
Rumble–!
A flaming sword fell from the sky and stabbed the Supreme Monarch.
“Keuhaaaaaaack!”
Immediately after, countless flaming swords fell and struck the still-screaming Supreme Monarch.
“Battle God’s Five Generals.”
The five most outstanding gods appeared at the same time.
“Use your powers that nullify invincibility in turn!”
When they heard his orders, the five gods instantly understood what the Battle God intended to do.
Then, hundreds of silver sword lights shot out from the Battle God’s sword and pierced through the Supreme Monarch.
“Keuaaaaaaaack!”
BOOM–!
Minhyuk and the Battle God were delighted to see the explosions that engulfed the Supreme Monarch. The God of Magic also sent hundreds of disses toward the screaming supreme.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh–!
The God of Archery sent countless arrows, as long and as powerful as a spear, that stabbed through the Supreme Monarch.
[Supreme Monarch. Level 943. HP: 1,430,430. MP: 3,300,000]
Everyone felt like they were slowly inching toward victory when they saw the Supreme Monarch’s HP dropping rapidly.
[The Supreme.]
[You can ignore any skills for three seconds.]
Of course, the Supreme Monarch also has a power that could allow him to resist their own. And just like that, the “In the Name of the Battle God” that the Battle God activated was dispersed. And that was not all. The power of the Five Generals that neutralised invincibility was also rendered useless for three seconds.
“Get ba...!”
The Battle God hurriedly ordered the Five Generals to retreat because they had the power to neutralise the remaining invincibility.
Crack–!
Unfortunately, he could not finish words. The Supreme Monarch, who already noticed what they were trying to do, twisted the God of Magic’s head.
Minhyuk and the Battle God understood that the moment they stepped back would be the death of their only way to kill the Supreme Monarch.
But the Supreme Monarch could not be stopped. He immediately split another god in two. When they saw him move toward the God of Archery, Minhyuk and the Battle God hurriedly intercepted him.
Clang– Clank, clang–!
A fierce battle between the three ensued.
[Arrow of the Helpless.]
The moment three seconds had passed, the God of Archery’s arrow shot through the chest of the Supreme Monarch.
[Supreme Monarch. Level 943. HP: 1,140,430. MP: 3,300,000]
Based on the Battle God’s calculations, the two remaining gods could only give them four seconds if they activated their power to neutralise invincibility. This meant they only had four more seconds to deal with the Supreme Monarch.
At that moment, the Battle God saw a red glow on the Supreme Monarch’s sword. The Battle God had received this attack countless times before, and he knew that it was something that they could not stop or avoid.
The Battle God froze as if he was left in a stunned state. He understood that death was near.
‘We’re done for...’
Unfortunately, he could not finish his thoughts.
“Overpower.”
THUD–!
A tremendous force appeared and pressured the Supreme Monarch. This power would leave any enemy in front of Minhyuk stunned for two seconds.
Clatter–!
At the same time, two dice appeared behind Minhyuk. The black die rolled a three, while the golden die rolled a 4.
[One of your skills can be reinforced. The level of the strengthening will depend on the number the black die cast.]
Minhyuk, who heard the notification, immediately chose the Sword of Carnage. He hurriedly parried the sword into the hands of the Supreme Monarch and altered the trajectory of the attack, which was supposed to shoot straight toward the Battle God. This happened right after the Supreme Monarch’s stunned state was lifted.
Slash–!
“Keuaaaaaaack!” The Battle God screamed as a deep gash appeared on his flanks.
The Supreme Monarch punched the screaming Battle God and immediately turned to Minhyuk.
[Supreme Monarch. Level ???. HP and MP: infinite.]
Minhyuk could not use the Sword of Carnage when he saw that the power to neutralise invincibility had already disappeared. In that momentary gap, the Supreme Monarch stabbed straight through Minhyuk’s abdomen.
Spurt–!
Minhyuk’s HP dropped rapidly.
Slash–!
After stabbing him, the Supreme Monarch pulled his sword out roughly and cut him down.
“Keuhack!”
[Your HP has dropped below 40%.]
Then, he kicked Minhyuk.
[Your HP has dropped below 35%.]
The Supreme Monarch made to cut Minhyuk’s head off.
[The Vanquisher.]
At that moment, another god neutralised the Supreme Monarch’s invincibility and removed his infinite status. The Battle God squeezed the last bit of his power. His sword shone with a silver light that lit up the entire world.
Slash–!
[Supreme Monarch. Level 943. HP: 840,430. MP: 3,150,000]
“Keuhaaaaaaack!!!” The Supreme Monarch shrieked, his eyes almost rolling to the back of his head. But then, a powerful force erupted from his body.
[The Supreme’s Destruction has been activated.]
[Upon activating the Supreme’s Destruction, blade explosions will continuously erupt within a 500-meter radius...]
Countless blades slashed and hacked at Minhyuk and the Battle God and forced them to spurt out blood.
At that moment, Minhyuk’s sword struck the Supreme Monarch. This sword, which was reinforced with the Sword of Carnage, had the power to do so.
Slash–!
Slash, slash, slash–!
[...!]
The Supreme Monarch’s eyes grew wide as the blades of the Sword of Carnage hacked frantically at his body. His blood spurted out like a fountain from the endless attacks. Thankfully, his infinite status would be restored—or so he thought.
When there were only 0.01 seconds left in his miserable state, another god skillfully used his power to neutralise invincibility. His timing was exquisite.
[Divine Helplessness.]
Once again, the Supreme Monarch fell into a state where his infinite status was ripped away. And the attacks that came his way? They cut him down like crazy.
[BASTARDS!!!]
But the Supreme Monarch survived the attacks. He turned to Minhyuk and glared at him fiercely.
Bang–!
He grabbed Minhyuk by the collar.
But Minhyuk just sneered at him. Then, he grabbed the Supreme Monarch’s collar and said, “Get lost.”
[Supreme Monarch. Level 943. HP: 320,430. MP: 2,850,000]
Slash–!
Thud–!
Thump, thump, thump–!
Just when the Supreme Monarch was about to twist Minhyuk’s neck, the Battle God swung his sword and successfully cut off the Supreme Monarch’s head.
