Description: This is a spear created by God of Blacksmiths’ Hepas’ descendant, Hyemin’sDaddy, for Spear God Ben. Surprisingly, it is a spear that received the praises of several Gods, including the God of Origin that ruled all of creation. As a result, the spear, which was once a consumable item, has turned into a semi-permanent item. It can now be used for thirty minutes a day before being sealed again.

“…!”

Minhyuk felt his hand shake as he looked at the description. Initially, sine he knew that it would be a consumable item, he felt that it was truly a pity. However, it had now changed into a semi-permanent one.

‘It can be used for thirty minutes per day.’

The merit of this item had become huge. Why? Because an ordinary battle would not last for more than an hour. On top of that, the God Piercing Spear was also filled with extremely OP skills and effects.

The spear had a 1.4x increase in spearmanship skill damage. There was also the passive skill: Double Attack. It was a skill that gives the one that used the spear an 80% chance of triggering another attack with the same damage. Simply put, it was a cheat-like skill.

There was also the Spear God’s Wind, a skill that had a 50% chance of triggering a 70% increase in attack speed and movement speed for ten seconds upon a successful stab or slam on an enemy.

What about the passive skill: Spear God’s Authority? It was a skill with the power that could attract and charm other spearmen and could allow the one that possessed this skill to rule them all.

‘This is freaking crazy…’

If Minhyuk was someone that used a spear, this was definitely an item that he would covet.

As for the Spear God’s Bull? It was a skill that could leave one’s mouth hanging open. Why? Once the spear was used to stab, the spear light that would extend from it would transform into a bull and charge forward, dealing at least 6,800% additional damage to the enemies.

That was not all, it even had a 100 meter radius of effect. Assuming that the enemies were placed at two meter intervals, then the effect would be tremendous. On top of that, the Spear God’s Bull would also inflict a random abnormal status on the opponent upon contact.

What about the Spear God’s Descent? It was a skill that had a -1 in all stats as a penalty, in exchange for a 1.5x increase in skills and stats for five minutes. The effect of the skill was powerful enough that it could easily allow them to ignore the penalty. After all, how devastating would it be if Spear God Ben grew 1.5x stronger while wielding a divine spear like that?

Just then, a thought flashed in Minhyuk’s head, ‘Right now, Ben…’

Minhyuk wondered what would happen if Ben fought against Brod right now. It was a fight that he could not really predict the outcome. Brod was the 1st ranked God's Sword in the past. As for Ben? He had become a Spear God that just gained a divine spear, which would give him a tremendous boost in strength.

Minhyuk held the spear tightly in his hand as he turned to Ben and said, “I bestow this spear upon Knight Ben.”

“I am very grateful for your benevolence, Your Majesty!!!” Spear God Ben said as he knelt down on one knee and respectfully received the God Piercing Spear.

Everyone could see how Ben’s eyes grew wide after he took a step back and checked the spear’s information. Ben had decided to accept this new spear, even to the point of putting away the spear that his own beloved son has gifted to him. The reason? It was all for Minhyuk. Only if Ben became stronger would he be able to protect Minhyuk and allow him to become a True God. Ben could not help but shudder in excitement as he looked at the spear that was just born, that he was currently holding in his hands. The joy he felt was solely because he would be able to protect Minhyuk with this.

As for the Beyond the Heavens’ Named NPCs, all of them gulped dryly at the sight of Ben holding his new spear. It was only natural. Every living being had a thirst for becoming strong. And, the best and fastest way for someone that had faced their limits to become stronger was to gain a new and better artifact.

Then, at that moment, Hyemin’sDaddy started hammering once again.

“Please rest a bit…”

“No. It has to be now. Right now, I have the highest probability of creating another God-rank artifact. The Gods’ benevolence and praise has increased my probability of creating a God-rank artifact by around 250%.”

“Ah…”

In fact, Saintess Loyna and the priests had also increased his probability of producing God-rank artifacts. That was why Hyemin’sDaddy firmly believed that this was the best opportunity for him to create several God-rank artifacts in a row.

Besides, the effects of gamjatang had also increased his probability by another 200%. This is where the words ‘this can be overlapped’ would come into play. If Hyemin’sDaddy was able to produce a second God-rank artifact, the probability would then increase to 400%. And if he could produce a third, it would increase to 600%. Once it added up with the other % increases, the effects would be huge.

Hyemin’sDaddy stood in front of the anvil to produce another artifact for another person. The reason for this person was because of Minhyuk’s words. The second person to receive the second artifact would be none other than Beyond the Heavens’ Shield, Elpis.

***

Many people were looking forward to the opening of the Battlefield of the Gods. All of them were curious as to who would become God for a moment and who the challengers that would stand up against him. Just the thought of the face-off was enough to bring thrill and excitement.

Above all, everyone was curious about who was the one that actually cleared the Abyss and qualified to become a God.

[Maybe it’s Food God Minhyuk?]

There was never a time that Minhyuk entered the Abyss with his face, he always made sure to use the Great Demon Verus’ Mask and entered with the face of an ordinary person. Because of that, there had been no rumors nor posts about seeing Minhyuk enter the Abyss. However, Minhyuk was hailed as the current best ranker in the world so his name was mentioned.

[There are enough grounds for us to consider Food God Minhyuk. However, I think it’s either Absolute Monarch Richard or Lu Bai, the one that climbed to the Savior Class.]

It did not mean that one would become a True God just because they climbed the ranks of an Absolute God class, that was why it was still possible that Minhyuk was the one that did it.

[How about Gods’ Children?]

[We also can’t rule out the possibility that it’s them.]

A lot of guesses and speculations were being thrown around. Who would be God? Who would be the challengers? By any chance, were they the unofficial rankers that were working in secret?

[Wasn’t Crazy Tyrant Akhan a God class too?]

It had been a long time since that name was mentioned. But just like Food God Minhyuk, Akhan was also one of the most talked about figures. After all, he was the biggest villain and one of the most influential figures in Athenae.

As people wondered about who would become God, they eventually began speculate about what would happen.

[Akhan can command a huge number of named monsters. If it’s him, then the Battlefield of the Gods would probably become the most spectacular one. Just think about it. Akhan could lead millions of named monsters. There must be mythical monsters among them, right?]

[Kghhk… but he’s a freaking bad guy…]

[It’s going to be cool, but…]

[Then, what if it’s the Food God?]

[The Food God… hmmm…]

The people began to ponder. What could the Food God show in the Battlefield of the Gods? If the Food God ate his own buffed dish, he could easily slaughter dozens of challengers in one go. Also…

[Each and every single one of his envoys are the best NPCs. Unfortunately, Ellie, the Dragon King, Loyna, Gremory, and many others are not his vassals.]

[Compared to Akhan, I think he will perform less as a God?]

[That’s right. The biggest problem for him is that even though he can summon his ‘envoys’, the envoys will not experience any ‘adjustment’ effect.]

That was right. The God would be able to summon an envoy, but the envoys would not become stronger, like their God. As usual, everything was about having power and strength.

If the envoys could receive an adjustment effect, like their God, then the story would be different. However, no matter how strong the Named NPCs of the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom were, they would have a hard time dealing with the God classes that had reached the pinnacle of their own fields without the adjustment effect.

[Instead of that, the Food God can make them stronger with his buffed dishes. If that’s the case, then they would not perform too badly either.]

Yes. It would not be too bad either if Food God Minhyuk was the God. However, the people did not think that any of the God classes that they have mentioned would become a True God. The reason?

[No matter how strong they could become, they would still be up against hundreds of God class challengers. They might have OP skills, but these are skills that incur penalties. In the first place, this is what Joy Co. Ltd. wanted to show everyone. Any challenger that takes the place of the God will also run into this same wall.?

Many people firmly believed that Joy Co. Ltd. had no intentions of producing a True God class yet. On top of that, it was a situation where they were having a discussion that was supported with realistic takes and opinions.

[Then, what would the person qualified to become a True God need to win?]

Then, one of the players said…

[Hmm… I think it would be possible if Crazy Tyrant Akhan and Food God Minhyuk worked together?]

Indeed, it would probably only be possible if it was that much. However, everyone clicked their tongues saying that it was pure and utter nonsense.

***

If the Food God and Akhan combined their powers, then they might be able to deal with the several God classes that would challenge the Battlefield of the Gods. That was actually a completely absurd and impossible story. However, something similar was currently happening.

What would happen if Minhyuk’s vassals had eaten his buffed dishes and were equipped with Legendary and God-rank artifacts in the Battlefield of the Gods? Then, they would be able to exert power similar to Minhyuk and Akhan working together.

Hyemin’sDaddy was, in fact, still working hard on producing artifacts. His speed in creating artifacts was actually several times faster than his normal speed. In fact, he had produced as many as three artifacts in just the span of an hour. In fact, the artifacts that he was producing now were for God of Snakes Elizabeth. However, there was a problem.

[You have made a Necklace that Sparkles For You!]

[The artifact is Epic-rank!]

[You have made Fappro’s Sword!]

[The artifact is Unique-rank!]

The first and second were failures. Then came the third.

[You have made the Divine Demon’s Sword!]

[The artifact is God-rank!]

[You have made two God-rank artifacts in a row! The additional 200% chance of creating another God-rank artifact has been overlapped!]

[Plenty of Gods are watching you with interest.]

[Plenty of Gods are praising you and your achievements.]

[Your chances of producing a God-rank artifact has increased by 300% thanks to the Gods’ praises!]

It seemed like the Gods were also enjoying what they were watching. Since the artifacts that Hyemin’sDaddy was making were consumable, they did not spare anything and gave him their unlimited support.

Ever since he started, Hyemin’sDaddy had gained a considerable amount of power. As for those that were looking forward to whatever he would produce, they were the ones that had never seen Hyemin’sDaddy contribute much in the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom. Because of that, this spectacle left them in awe. After another few hours of crafting and production…

[You have made “For Elizabeth”!]

[The artifact is God-rank!]

[You have made three God-rank artifacts in a row! The additional 200% chance of creating another God-rank artifact has been overlapped!]

[Something special might happen if you produce five God-rank artifacts in a row!]

Hyemin’sDaddy became very curious about what would happen if he created five God-rank artifacts in a row.

[The Great God that controls all of creation gulps their saliva as they watch you.]

Hyemin’sDaddy continued to hammer away at the anvil. And one after another…

[You have made a Sword for the Mercenary that Left!]

[The artifact is God-rank!]

[…in a row…]

Minhyuk had requested an additional artifact for him, someone that Minhyuk also wanted to see so much, and someone that he might possibly see in the Battlefield of the Gods.

As for the fifth sword, it was made for Great Pirate Gorfido, who had now become Beyond the Heavens’ Great Fisher King. This sword was made for him, and him alone.

[You have made a Sword for the Greatest Fisher King!]

[The artifact is God-rank!]

[Fifth…]

[Something special will happen!]

“Fwaaaa…”

At that point, Hyemin’sDaddy finally lost his grip on his hammer.?His body that was soaked in sweat heaved as his breath turned rough and ragged. Then, it happened.

[The easter egg for Hepas’ Descendant’s class has been triggered!]

[You will now become a father figure to all of the blacksmiths in the world. You will be their role model and example!]

[The Hepas’ Descendant’s class will now change from a God class to an Absolute God class!]

[You are the fourth Absolute God Class that has appeared in the world!]

[All of your skills and stats will change!]

[You are now given the opportunity to unconditionally create a God-rank artifact!]

“…!”

Everyone in the area heard the notifications. Minhyuk, who was among them, stared at Hyemin’sDaddy in shock, a small smile curling at the corner of his lips.

Hyemin’sDaddy wanted to tell the boy that he had now become an Absolute God class.

‘I am someone that will live for you.’

That was right. Minhyuk was someone that deserved to have an Absolute God class by his side. He was that kind of man.

Hyemin’sDaddy said, “We don’t have much time.”

Minhyuk looked at him and gulped dryly as he continued, “I will make a God-rank artifact for you, Minhyuk.”

Minhyuk shuddered at those words. Someone was willing to make a God-rank artifact for him. It was very thrilling. In fact, it made him unconsciously utter words of exclamation, “Freaking, freaking amazing…”

That was right. It was freaking amazing.
