Chapter 366 – Earth (6)

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

The Mahabaha tribe, which made a noise loud enough to deafen ears, was instantly annihilated.

In the deserted city, the sound of the wind and buildings and vehicles burning was heard.

And the sound of people breathing quietly

It wasn’t a sigh of relief.

It was thin and intermittent.

It was a suppressed breath.

Hochi came to save them, but the humans who saw him felt horror.

It was difficult to blame them.

The unknown and death have always been a realm of fear for humans.

The sight that Hochi showed them was enough to remind them of both the unknown and death.

On the other hand, the challengers showed the opposite reaction.

They felt excitement and anticipation.

“Looking back at it again, it’s a total hoax.”

“It said that what we’re getting is minor, but depending on the combination, it might have a similar effect.”

They had seen this scene several times already.

When they first saw it, they were embarrassed.

They recalled the effort they put into training and were frustrated.

However, their attitude changed when they realized that all of the techniques Hochi used could be acquired.

Challengers who were trained in the new tutorials and given missions were promised a definite reward.

Just as the members of Earth are rewarded for their faith and achievements through the system.

The challengers were promised more rewards.

There was only one thing the challengers who were trapped in Hell difficulty wanted.

Even more powerful abilities.

And Ho-jae had the power to satisfy that desire.

The powers paid through their rewards were slightly downgraded compared to the originals, but the challengers from the Hell difficulty gladly accepted that.

The challengers were happily looking at the powers in the reward list, using them together in combination, or predicting the synergy with their current abilities.

This is why they remained cooperative despite sudden summons, hard training, and nonstop missions.

The frightened people and the challengers thrilled with anticipation.

Hochi had a completely different reaction from all of them.

It was right after he wiped out the Mahabaha, but he didn’t relax.

On the contrary, he was more alert than when he first appeared.

“Yong-yong, I think I found it.”

Hochi spoke quietly.

Obviously, all of the Mahabaha tribe were swept away by a small black hole and sucked out of space.

But now, there was a Mahabaha tribesman standing on the street.

On a deserted street where no one was there just before, a being stood peacefully, as if he had been there from the beginning,

“You are the guardian of this planet.”

The Mahabaha tribesman opened its mouth and spoke first.

Guardian.

It was an unfamiliar name, but it wasn’t wrong when it came to his consideration.

Hochi nodded his head to show affirmation.

“What do you want?”

Although they had already invaded Earth, Hochi was willing to listen to their stories as much as possible if he could solve it smoothly.

“You.”

However, the Mahabaha tribesman said with a real smile, as if playing a joke.

“The God of Destruction is coming down here soon. Our mission is to keep things out of the way until then. The things that protect this planet like you.”

Hochi was silent for a moment.

The group of survivors remained unmoved in the restricted area.

Strangely, this area was difficult to communicate in and observe.

It was suspicious.

Hochi and Yong-yong thought there was something here that interfered with their observation.

Perhaps one of those invading this area had a special object interfering with the observation.

So rather than adding more challengers, Hochi came here.

But now, it seemed that the problem wasn’t an object, but the ability of the Mahabaha tribesman.

“Your god will never appear on Earth.”

Hochi was sure.

From some point on, the summoning portals stopped appearing.

The summoning portals that were previously connected had also disappeared.

All of the remaining summoning portals were initially opened and left unattended.

“Tell your god who is hiding because he doesn’t want to use his strength.”

The Mahabaha said so.

In fact, Lee Ho-jae was not hiding, but he was away from Earth to directly attack all the gods.

It seemed that he didn’t know that much.

Hochi judged.

There seemed to be no room for negotiation, and there was no information he could find out through conversation.

And it was a bit burdensome to defeat him through battle.

“Yong-yong, help me.”

At Hochi’s request, the space opened again.

Looking beyond the space, something inhuman walked out.

It was a huge eye.

The giant silver-lit thing moved slowly.

As if looking around, the pupils moved back and forth, and then fixed toward the Mahabaha tribesman.

The Mahabaha, who had just spoken to Hochi with a high-powered voice, couldn’t even say a word and stiffened.

The same was true of the humans behind.

The survivors who managed to survive and maintain consciousness collapsed.

The challengers, who had just been admiring Hochi’s abilities, were overwhelmed by embarrassment and fear.

‘… What, is that.’

‘I have to run away.’

‘Something seems to be wrong.’

‘Shall we surrender? Then can we live.’

They were confused.

They didn’t understand the silver eyes that appeared out of nowhere.

However, they could only vaguely feel the brutality in the eyes.

The eyes stimulated their survival instincts.

Apart from the situation, only ways to survive filled their minds.

However, it was not comparable to the Mahabaha tribe who were faced by the eyes.

The minds of the Mahabaha were completely empty.

From the moment of eye contact, the Mahabaha’s reason was blown away, and it was just a shell looking ahead in fear.

Hochi thought that he should deal with the Mahabaha as soon as possible and send Yong-yong’s eyes back, for the sake of the frightened humans.

He took out the most powerful and deadly means he knew.

Hochi approached the Mahabaha and used his power.

[Death]

Black energy was flowing over Hochi’s hand, and Hochi swung it and slightly cut the neck of the Mahabaha.

It was a small wound, but it was enough.

This power, with the grand name of Death, was actually the final evolution of the poison skill Lee Ho-jae was studying.

Even after becoming a god, he steadily improved it, and by mixing the existing poison with divine power, it gained a poisonous effect that can literally kill a god.

There was a disadvantage of having to penetrate the enemy to inject the poison through a direct attack, but there was no more lethal attack to an opponent whose movement was suppressed.

The body of the Mahabaha began to melt down.

It died too easily and vainly to a being who could no longer be considered a mortal beyond the category of a superhuman.

Watching the scene, Hochi thought.

He should be a god himself.

The difference between a non-deity and deity was too great.

Now that he had something he had to protect, Hochi began to feel the need and desire for a strong power he had previously avoided.

*

‘Clear the Paju area.’

“Get ready to go right away. There is still a lot left. No, I don’t have time to rest! Take care of it while you’re on the go. There will be reinforcement in the Gangwon area.”

Kim Min-hyuk sent telepathic messages and looked at the map again.

The map showed the number and status of invading beings on Earth in real time, and the status of the Awakened and troops scattered around the world.

Kim Min-hyuk, who received various help such as telepathy and mental response with Yong-yong’s help, was in charge of commanding the Awakened who were reaching for him and advising the military unit.

Perhaps because of the long-lasting concentration, he felt a fever on his forehead.

If Kim Min-hyuk was not an Awakened who came out and cleared the Tutorial, he would have collapsed earlier.

Maintaining concentration isn’t just something one can do.

Humans need calories, stamina, and mental power to focus on something and create enough ideas.

He looked at the situation around the world, and had to improvise to move the Awakened and troops to produce the best results.

In the meantime, he had to argue with the Awakened people who didn’t listen.

He even had to negotiate to persuade those outside his control.

Sometimes, when his troops were lost, his heart was overwhelmed by the fact that people were sacrificed because of his own judgment.

Kim Min-hyuk raised his head for a while and looked ahead.

Yong-yong, sitting quietly, covering one of his eyes with his hand.

He felt in awe at the sight.

The child who loves to wear pretty clothes, and only rolls around in his room as if he is nothing special, was doing all this perfectly.

Many of the challengers in the Tutorial were assigned and sent to the battlefield in combinations that suit the circumstances.

And in every moment, he made the best judgments.

Even if it might be a little too much for Kim Min-hyuk from the side, the mission ended with success somehow through the combination of the challengers.

Yong-yong divided districts by establishing barriers across the globe.

He prevented intruders from gathering or dispersing.

While the intruders were cleared one area at a time, he moved the humans in the dangerous areas to the safe areas.

In the meantime, he even got involved in the battlefield at Hochi’s request.

For Kim Min-hyuk, it was an ability that could not be imitated or understood.

Yong-yong, who was still concentrating, suddenly raised his head.

Kim Min-hyuk asked without realizing.

“What is it?”

Kim Min-hyuk felt his heart stiff again because he was wondering if there was a problem.

Fortunately, it wasn’t bad news.

Yong-yong smiled brightly.

“Dad is back.”

Shortly after hearing Yong-yong’s answer, Kim Min-hyuk could also recognize it.

In an instant, the air changed.

It became heavier.

Through the windows of the temple building, the giants were seen.

The giants who appeared immediately after the Pantheon gods invaded Earth and disappeared immediately.

Giants who had been sent out to directly attack the gods who invaded Earth reappeared back on Earth.

What that meant was clear.

Kim Min-hyuk asked Yong-yong.

“Then did we win?”

Yong-yong smiled at Kim Min-hyuk again when he heard him.

*

“It’s a mess, really.”

[This should be considered to be very good protection, King]

Grandmother said.

I also agreed with that.

Yong-yong and Hochi held back Earth’s invaders well.

The damage was less than I expected, and they were defending much more systematically and efficiently than I expected.

Still.

“A mess is a mess.”

The scene where the minions of the Pantheon gods were all over Earth was beyond description.

[What do I do?]

Old Man said.

The Old Man has been less talkative since facing the God of Order.

There is no big problem in sight.

After this work was over, in-depth consultation seemed necessary, but I thought it was not serious enough to become a problem right away.

“My gosh.”

Those who remain on Earth now are those who have been neglected by the gods.

Even the gods were torn apart by giants and died.

It was clear that all of the holy lands of the gods that connected the summoning portals to Earth had been dealt with without missing a single place.

“Hold them down. Wipe out those who resist.”

No need to attack those who had no will to resist.

They’re all resources.

“Let’s get this over with as soon as possible. It’s a war that has already finished. We won.”
