•Can combine two God-rank skills.

•There is a 5% chance of a 12% increase in performance and abilities when using a God-rank skill.

•Passive Skill: God that Never Backs Down.

•All stats +4%

•All skills’ cooldown time and MP consumption will be reduced by 10%.

Minhyuk was impressed when he checked the detailed information about the God Above Gods title.

‘Wait, you’re telling me I can combine two God-rank skills with this title?’

Minhyuk had quite a lot of God-rank skills in his arsenal. If he had this title, combining the two skills would compensate for their shortcomings and make them even stronger. Of course, this did not mean combining two skills would make them twice as good. However, if he could get the right combination, he could create a much more efficient and stronger skill.

‘If I can combine the Sword of Absolute Death and the Supreme Overlord Technique, then...’

It meant that Minhyuk would be able to create a better pinnacle skill. But there was a more interesting fact here. The title’s skill combination was not limited to attack skills. He could combine any skill that he wanted, including skills related to the Food God.

There was also the passive skill, God that Never Backs Down. It was a skill that could only be triggered during emergencies. It would only be triggered if the HP of the title bearer fell below 10%. Once activated, the title bearer’s HP and MP would recover to 50%, and their skill cooldown would reset and recover. But that was not all. If he obtained this skill, he would also receive a 4% increase in his stats and a 10% reduction in skill cooldown and MP consumption.

‘Of course, it’s already a great title.’

However, there was another reason why Minhyuk believed that the God Above Gods’ title was far beyond the other titles he had obtained. And that was the Absolute Title that it carried in its name. Minhyuk had never seen or heard of such a title since playing this game. And there was also the fact that the title was still not yet completed. The title would grow and be completed once he cleared the Argalis Dungeon.

‘Even though I have only cleared the first gate, the title already has this much power.’

Minhyuk could not even imagine how much power he would be able to obtain if this title was completed. With a bit of expectation, he began to move again. Then, he fell into another dream filled with delicious food.

‘There’s a valley stretching out right in front of me...’

In that valley, Minhyuk would cook ramyeon and grill some samgyeopsal while eating with his friends. For some reason, Minhyuk believed that ramyeon tasted more delicious after playing around in the water. Minhyuk entered the second gate with that dream in his mind.

[You are challenging Argalis Dungeon’s Second Gate.]

[Some gods were recorded as heroes in the Land of the Gods.]

[The Land of Gods was a land that was once filled with dangers and hardships. Many heroes had protected this land so the Land of the Gods could exist.]

[Among those heroes, there was one god that everyone knew the story of. And that was ‘War God Veyron.’]

In any place, there would always be heroes that have left their names behind in the annals of history. And if there were heroes, then there were stories. Their stories would be kept and told to the future generations.

[During that time, the Land of the Gods was at war with the Demon World.]

[The 72 Devils, led by Great Demon Verus, wreaked havoc and almost destroyed the Land of the Gods.]

[The war lasted for days on end. At that time, another race took advantage of the war and attacked the Land of the Gods. They were none other than the greedy ‘Black Dwarves.’]

[Unlike ordinary dwarves, the Black Dwarves were greedy, shallow, and petty. They also only specialized in crafting lethal weapons.]

[While the Land of the Gods was left in chaos as it continued to fight the war against the Demon World, the greedy Black Dwarves took hundreds of the titans that they had created and invaded the Land of the Gods.]

[Titans were war weapons created with the extraordinary blacksmithing skills of the dwarves. They reached around eight meters in height, had skin as hard as the gods, and wielded weapons on par with those of the gods.]

[Even the gods could not stop the Titans as they swung their gigantic swords at them.]

[However, the Black Dwarves were no fools. They knew they could not conquer and take over the Land of the Gods.]

[The place they were aiming for was where the ‘celestial dwellers’ lived.]

[The celestial dwellers weren’t gods. They were ordinary people who lived in the Land of the Gods. They were superior to the people of the earth but still inferior to the gods.]

[The Black Dwarves killed the celestial dwellers and took away their lands. They tried to use them as leverage to demand many things from the gods of the Land of the Gods.]

[Millions of the celestial dwellers died under the hands of the Black Dwarves. However, the Battle God, who was in the middle of the war with the Demon World, could not send the Divine Army to ward them off.]

[At that time, only one god stepped forward to protect the celestial dwellers.]

The scene in front of Minhyuk changed as the explanation rang in his ears. He saw the War God, whose face was covered with a helmet, kneeling before the previous generation's Battle God after being granted an audience.

“Battle God, please grant me the permission to go into war.”

“This lord does not wish for you to go.”

[The Battle God cherished the War God more than anybody else. It was to the point that he was willing to give up his position as the Battle God to him. That was why he did not want him to go there just to protect their ‘celestial dwellers.’]

“Battle God! I have to go. Can’t you hear the voices of our dying celestial dwellers?!”

The Battle God looked at the War God as he shouted at him.

“If you go there, you will die.” The Battle God shook his head. “Your life is far more precious than the lives of our celestial dwellers.”

“All lives are equal. It doesn’t matter if they are a god, a divine subject, or a human; their lives matter.”

[However, no matter how hard the Battle God persuaded him, he could not break the will of the War God. It was because he was this kind of man that the Battle God loved and cared for him.]

[The War God has an extraordinary power.]

[Of course, his power and might were exceptional. However, he was the one who trained the ordinary celestial dwellers and turned them into soldiers of the Divine Army.]

[The Battle God knew that the ones that the War God trained would be able to surpass his own Divine Army in the future.]

War God Veyron said, “Please bestow upon me the Divine Weapon. I will use the Divine Weapon to defeat our enemies.”

[The Divine Weapon was a weapon created by the God of Blacksmiths long ago. It might look like an ordinary cannon, but its power and destructive capabilities far exceeded the gods’ powers.]

[However, the Battle God knew only twenty Divine Weapons existed.]

‘This is so he could drag the time.’

[The Battle God immediately understood what Veyron wanted to do. He was going to sacrifice himself. Veyron decided to sacrifice himself so the gods would be able to drive out the demons and Devils and come to rescue their celestial dwellers.]

The Battle God’s lips opened slightly, but he could not bear to open his mouth to say it.

[The Battle God looked at the ‘War God,’ who showed no fear even in the face of his death. The Battle God might be the greatest, but this god in front of him had his respect.]

“You have my permission.”

The War God bowed deeply at the Battle God before turning around. With the black horned helmet on his head and a black cape fluttering behind him, the War God walked with his head held high until he stepped out of the red carpet that lined the audience hall.

Minhyuk could not take his eyes away from the man.

[A few days later, War God Veyron fell on the battlefield and died a heroic death.]

Minhyuk saw War God Veyron standing above the walls and looking at the Land of the Gods with a small smile.

[Using countless tactics and strategies, he fought fiercely, accompanied by 350,000 celestial dwellers and the Divine Weapons in hand.]

[During the battle, War God Veyron realized that the Black Dwarves and the Demon World had joined hands.]

[The Black Dwarves aimed to kill all of the ‘celestial dwellers.’ After doing so, they would then work with the demons of the Demon World and ‘kill the gods.’]

[However, thanks to War God Veyron holding back the Black Dwarves for four days, the war ended with the victory of the Land of the Gods.]

[After they drove out the demons and Devils of the Demon World, the Battle God hurriedly led all of the gods, rescued the surviving celestial dwellers, and drove out the Black Dwarves.]

[Eventually, they found the body of ‘Veyron.’ There were clear traces of battle on his body, showing them that he fought fiercely and bravely until he took his very last breath.]

[Veyron died with his eyes wide open. However, his eyes remained sharp and strong. A testament to his bravery and determination to stop all enemies until the very end.]

Minhyuk, looking at Veyron standing atop the walls before the battle, shuddered at the small glimpse of his future that he had seen through the notifications.

‘He knew.’ Minhyuk was deeply impressed by the man standing in front of him. ‘He knew that he would die here.’

However, even though he knew that he was still looking over the Land of the Gods with a small smile. It was true. He was truly deserving of the title of a hero- the hero of the gods.

‘Perhaps the Argalis Dungeon’s Second Gate’s task is to help Veyron and prevent him from dying?’

Of course, that did not mean that Minhyuk could change the past and influence the future. This was just the dungeon’s trial, which recreated the fierce and glorious battles of the past.

Minhyuk, who thought that all of the notifications regarding Veyron had already ended, suddenly heard a shocking and incomprehensible notification in his ears.

[You have a connection with the War God Veyron!]

[You can watch additional videos and hear explanations accordingly!]

The scene in front of Minhyuk changed once again.

The Battle God gently placed War God Veyron’s head on his lap, his hand slowly closing his eyes that remained open even after death.

[The Battle God looked at Veyron’s cold corpse and remembered their conversation.]

“Battle God.”

Swoosh–

The scene in front of Minhyuk changed in an instant. This time, he saw the two gods chatting happily as they walked in the garden.

When he saw the Battle God turn around, Veyron said, “Once the peace has been restored in the Land of the Gods, I wish to live with the humans.”

“With humans?”

“I have taught and helped many grow and develop in the Land of the Gods. I also want to share this power with the humans.”

“You... You’re a god that loves to give.”

“Hahaha. Is that so?”

The scene swiftly returned to the scene from before. The Battle God hugged War God Veyron’s cold body and said, “I will help you achieve your dreams.”

Then, something flashed in front of Minhyuk at a high speed. It felt like he was watching a zoetrope, those spinning lanterns that displayed sequences of drawings. The first scene showed the image of a mother giving her all to give birth to a baby inside one of the tents set up on the battlefield.

“Uwaaah! Uwaaah! Uwaaah! Uwaaah!”

The second scene showed the child, who was not yet four years old, witnessing the massacre of the royal army where he was born and raised.

The third scene showed the struggles of the four-year-old child as he wandered around the world and tried his hardest to survive.

And the fourth scene? It was the scene of the war orphan wandering like a beggar and encountering the long procession of imperial carriages.

The scenes that followed next flashed faster in front of Minhyuk. It showed how the child, the war orphan, followed the emperor and became a citizen of his empire. A scene also revealed how he held his sword and fought for his emperor and the kingdom. The child grew, becoming a soldier. The soldier then became a knight, and the knight became the commander.

There was also a scene where the commander shouted at the dozens of knights before him as he trained them. It also showed how he walked the battlefield with his knights and fought until he became a legend in the land of humans.

As he grew older, he eventually became the pillar of the empire.

“Uwaaaaaaaah!”

“Wooooooooah!”

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”

The child, now a stalwart man, stood atop the walls with a small smile as he looked at his emperor and the almost ten million-strong army in front. Then, a strong wind blew as he removed the horned helmet covering his face. The wind blew his hair away from his face and revealed his figure. This man was the reincarnation of War God Veyron, the hero of the Land of the Gods. And his name was...

Hound Amacar.
