Chapter 1241
The people did not know that Minhyuk’s Double Skill had evolved into Triple Skill and had just been triggered. When they saw him annihilating the werewolf, they cheered and thought, ‘As expected of the Battle God!’
Meanwhile, Minhyuk was shocked to see the Mutant Werewolf getting knocked down and killed with one skill. After all, the rankers had struggled against its high HP and defensive power.
[He is... the Battle God...]
[Can you see this, everyone? This player is South Korea’s pride and joy. This is the power of Minhyuk!]
Richard realized, ‘He’s in a different class.’
Miao also learned something. She thought, ‘He alone is much stronger than a dozen of us combined.’
Kentaro beamed with pride, thinking, ‘It’s great to be friends with someone like you.’
Amidst their ever-growing expectations, Minhyuk stood flustered by the very unexpected situation. At that moment, he caught sight of the werewolves charging forward again.
‘Supreme Overlord’s Technique.’
A massive pillar of blazing flame shot out from Minhyuk’s sword.
[Triple Skill.]
“...?”
Minhyuk could not help but pause for a moment when the power, which was supposed to only have a one percent chance of getting triggered, was activated twice in a row. The flames grew more prominent and hotter than usual, and instantly devoured and swept away the more than a hundred thousand werewolves of the Allied Races.
He watched them disappear into ashes before turning to look behind him. The scene that greeted him was the sight of Richard, Miao, and Kentaro blinking blankly at him while their jaws dropped open.
Minhyuk sighed deeply. ‘I don’t even know anymore.’

Meanwhile, at the Special Players Management Team office.
Team Leader Park and Lee Minhwa watched through the monitor as Minhyuk used the Supreme Overlord’s Technique to wipe out the werewolves.
“How much time is left?”
“There are fourteen hours left.”
They were talking about the time left before the restriction that had been placed upon Minhyuk and his vassals would be lifted.
Lee Minhwa could only smile bitterly while Team Leader Park shook his head.
Lee Minhwa commented, “Player Minhyuk must be feeling flustered and confused. Although he was 30% weaker, the people around him had been flattering and pushing him forward.”
“Well, that’s right. Even though Minhyuk is in a 30% weakened state, he is still very strong. His strength is beyond the standards that ordinary players could imagine. That’s why it’s even more confusing and embarrassing,” Team Leader Park said as he felt his heart pound as he looked at the monitor.
When Lee Minhwa saw the flustered and excited smile on his face, she could not help but voice out her confusion. “What’s the matter?”
Team Leader Park’s voice unknowingly shook as he said, “Right now, everyone is cheering saying, ‘As expected of the Battle God!’ and ‘Battle God Minhyuk is strong!’ as they watch Minhyuk.”
The people no longer denied or ignored Minhyuk and his qualifications. With the accidental consecutive triggering of Triple Skill, they looked up to him even more.
“After fourteen hours...” Team Leader Park glanced at the clock. “I wonder what expression will the people make once they discover that this wasn’t the entirety of Minhyuk’s power?”

King of Races Reikan’s actions completely swayed from everyone’s prediction. The people believed the Allied Races would split up and attack all the kingdoms simultaneously. Reikan had gathered all of the troops of the Allied Races in front of the Masserrati Kingdom.
Amidst the fierce battle, Reikan stood and listened to the report given by Werewolf Deputy Commander Ganial, who had survived after much struggle and suffering.
“As expected of the Battle God. He killed the Mutant Werewolf with a single swing of his sword and slaughtered 140,000 troops with just a single skill.”
He was an incredible and outstanding figure, just like the god Reikan had heard from the myths. Even so, Reikan remained expressionless and undisturbed as he watched the kingdom troops struggle to defend their kingdom somehow while the forces of the Allied Races broke through their walls.
In truth, Reikan knew the Allied Forces had no chance of winning, even if they toppled over the foreigner-established kingdoms. Even if he destroyed dozens of the most chaotic kingdoms, there would always be empires with power that could rival dozens of kingdoms combined.
The empires were all aware of this fact. The problem was that none of them expressed their doubts and suspicions about the matter. Even though they were suspicious about Reikan’s motives, none of them sent any of their troops.
‘Perhaps that’s the reason why he is the Battle God.’
Someone standing alone in front of the enemy when all the empires had ignored the situation was truly admirable.
Reikan slowly pulled something out of his pockets. This something was none other than the Seed of Propagation. This was an extraordinary power that only Reikan possessed. With every enemy killed, the seed would gain power and give birth to more allies through Reikan.
‘The arrogance of those empires has given me more power and strength.’
Since the empires had paid no heed to the situation, the number of Reikan’s yet-to-be-born troops had skyrocketed. After all, the Allied Races continuously invaded and destroyed several kingdoms even before Reikan had officially declared his intent to destroy the foreigner-established kingdoms.
There was only one reason Reikan did not face Minhyuk: the Seed of Propagation was still incomplete. If Reikan suddenly died, the seed would become unstable, and they would be unable to use it.
‘If your ability to reproduce and procreate is your weapon, then...’
Reikan squeezed a part of the Seed of Propagation. Then, something popped out. It soon sprouted and grew a long stem that began to wrap around Reikan.
‘...we’re going to reproduce too.’
Soon after, huge flowers blossomed from the stems. Tens of thousands of flowers resembling sunflowers bloomed all over Reikan.
The flowers suddenly appeared in the middle of the battlefield. They were beautiful enough to catch the attention of all the human troops fighting fiercely on the walls of their kingdom. Not long after, however, a strange sound echoed from the otherwise beautiful flowers.
“Uweeeeeck!”
“Uweeeeeck!”
With a sound akin to vomiting, hundreds of seeds shot out from each flower and scattered all over the ground. The scattered seeds began to twitch as sprouts instantly grew from them. The growth process was swift, with the sprouts turning into stems and eventually taking form. When the first seed finished taking up its proper form, a werewolf covered with sticky liquid emerged from within.
“...!”
“Wh-what the hell?!”
Reikan knew that everything that happened on the battlefield would be transmitted and reported to Battle God Minhyuk. Perhaps only kings appeared in this place because he, as the Battle God, knew that protecting and defending the Masserrati Kingdom was very difficult. Maybe that man was already running to the Luvien Empire for an audience.
However, the truth was completely different.
***
–Richard, I’m sure your Absolute Stigma has become much more potent than in the past, right?
–Of course. I already have a variety of Stigmas in my arsenal. I have the Berserk’s Stigma, the Brave’s Stigma, and the King’s Stigma.
Minhyuk listened to the effects of each stigma.
–The King’s Stigma can only be applied to one person.
Then, Minhyuk said this.
–Please use the King’s Stigma. As for the target...
Back then, Richard could not understand.
–Even if you apply the King’s Stigma, he’s just one person...
***
[The walls’ durability has dropped below 50%.]
If things continued at this rate, the Masserrati Kingdom would collapse in just five hours...
‘Or maybe it’s three hours...’
Richard smiled bitterly. He could see around ten thousand of the Mutant Werewolves, which they had just encountered a few moments prior, covered with sticky liquid emerging from the seeds scattered on the ground. This was no longer a simple propagation and reproduction.
The five-meter-tall gigantic Mutant Werewolves began to run. Their momentum as they ran forward, hitting anyone and everyone, regardless of whether they were their allies, was extremely overwhelming.
Thud, thud, thud.
The cavalry hurriedly raced forward to try and stop them, but they were quickly swept away by the Mutant Werewolves’ claws or ripped apart by their teeth.
“Hihihihihing!”
The horses and the troops of the Allied Forces that were trampled on by the gigantic werewolves were easily crushed. The rankers of each kingdom immediately prepared for battle the moment the Mutant Werewolves were twenty meters away from them.
Thump.
Just then, someone fell from the sky. The man, who looked two meters tall, stood before the walls. This man was none other than the NPC chosen by the players as the strongest. He stood there with his cape carrying the symbol of the fork and knife crossed together fluttering behind him while he held his sword firmly.
Richard immediately did as Minhyuk said.
[King’s Stigma.]
[The stigma that can only strengthen a single target has been bestowed.]
[All of the target’s stats have increased by 41%.]
[All of the target’s skill levels have increased by 2.]
[Target’s defensive power has increased by 24%.]
[The target’s attack power has increased by 34%.]
Reikan was not afraid of Brod, who appeared to have become stronger.
“You are an elephant.”
This was Reikan’s evaluation of Brod.
Brod retorted, “A single elephant is unafraid of lions, tigers, or hyenas.”
Although they appeared gentle, elephants ranked pretty high in the food web and could not be easily dealt with by top predators.
“But what if hundreds of lions charged and attacked this single elephant? What if thousands of bears lunged at it?! What if tens of thousands of hyenas ganged up on it?!”
Although there was only one elephant, they had enough numbers to swallow this animal high up in the food web. Richard also knew about this, so he could not understand why Minhyuk did this.
Brod stared at the charging Mutant Werewolves as an unknown shadow appeared and covered the ground he was standing on. When the shadow appeared, everyone could not help but look up at the sky in confusion.
At that moment, Brod said, “You seem to know a lot about elephants. Well, I also know something about elephants.”
Brod pulled out his sword. At the same time, the people looking up at the sky realized something.
“It’s Atlas! The City in the Skies!”
The Beyond the Heavens Empire’s greatest pride was now floating above them. Everyone could not help but be confused when they saw what seemed to be a Ruyi Jingu Bang stuck in the middle of Atlas.
“You say that an elephant is alone, but... elephants are herd animals.”
At that moment, he began to descend from Atlas. It started with one. Before long, it became one thousand and then ten thousand.
“Elephants are quite scary because a group of such gigantic creatures could trample on an attacking pride of lions all at once.”
They stood next to Brod.
Everyone looked at the sight in shock. The Beyond the Heavens Empire was forced to make a promise with the Luvien Empire. They could only send four people to participate in this war. So, did Minhyuk break this promise? No. Not at all. Why? Because the ones standing next to Brod were... tens of thousands of Brods.

Technically, he was still one person.
The tens of thousands of Brods raised their swords and pointed them at the charging Mutant Werewolves. “Let me show you...
Then, the tens of thousands of Brods spoke simultaneously, “Emperor’s Pinnacle Swordsmanship. Final Chapter.”
The tens of thousands of elephants began to move and charge forward to crush and trample on the lions.
