Chapter 256
Facing the wall of brainwaves for the second day.
The overwhelming power of the wandering deity was visible here.
Crackle...!
As the deity reached out his hand, a powerful current surged towards the wall of brainwaves.
It completely covered the wall of brainwaves and began to grow even larger.
"How can I... possess the power of Thor...!"
"This should be fine."
Copying the opponent's power, the wandering deity displayed a power much stronger than that.
However, even though he had replicated the powers of numerous brain deities.
There was only one.
He did not manifest the red current entangled in the wall of brainwaves.
"In the end, the master does not copy the enemy's lightning..."
Compared to the powers of other brain deities.
Created by Sung JiHan, a mere human, was it because the lightning did not fill the city?
But even so, the power of the lightning was more intense than any other power.
Rumble...!
When the lightning struck the wall of brainwaves that the wandering deity was pounding on, it ignited.
The barrier was quickly restored.
The biggest factor that prevented the wall of brainwaves from breaking was the lightning supplied here.
From the perspective of the wandering deity, dealing with this lightning was a priority over the powers of other brain deities.
But.
"How troublesome."
The wandering deity only commented on the lightning, without absorbing or manifesting it.
"The master is capable of controlling the emptiness contained in the lightning... Why?"
Dong Bangsak looked at the deity with eyes full of incomprehension.
The emptiness contained in the lightning.
Although it could be fatal to an immortal, for a deity like him, it was easily controllable.
"I don't understand... We can't waste any more time here, or we might fail in our invasion."
The wall of brainwaves and the collective of brain deities.
They were among the most powerful among the many stars that the deity and his kind had invaded.
In addition, the brain deities themselves belonged to a powerful faction among the deities.
The wall of brainwaves that protected the divine throne amplified the power of the brain deities.
Although the situation itself was that the deity was copying the powers of the opposing brain deities and launching one-sided attacks.
If they continued to delay in front of the barrier, the deity might have to retreat as well.
"We need to finish this before interference comes from the BattleNet. Why doesn't the master use an easier method?"
What is the lightning doing, just leaving it there?
While Dong Bangsak was also pounding on the wall of brainwaves in his own way, his gaze was fixed on the deity.
And.
"Longinus."
"Yes, master."
The wandering deity, without intending to use the lightning until the end.
"Create a spear."
Instead, he drew out the spear of divine assassination.
"Using the power of divine assassination instead of lightning..."
Dong Bangsak's eyes sank deeply as he saw this.
This was like abandoning the easy path and turning back to the difficult one.
"...I guess I need to test it."
He sent a meaningful gaze to the deity.
Then, he moved towards Pithia, who had returned from her reconnaissance mission in the distance.
Meanwhile.
"The deity... He doesn't absorb the lightning until the end. Is it the opposite of the power of emptiness?"
Sung JiHan, who was observing the deity's power from the comfort of the transformed control room of the brain deity, also had a similar question as Dong Bangsak.
Until now, numerous brain gods have tried to intercept the Sung JiHan.
Instead, they were counterattacked fiercely, losing their own powers.
So, the wall of brain waves almost broke several times, but the barrier somehow revived due to the enemy's explosives.
As a brain god, it was essential to strategize against the explosives to cross that wall...
[Hoo, hoo... You brain god. I don't know why, but it seems like your explosives can't be absorbed. Good! Put in a little more effort.]
When Sung JiHan showed outstanding performance with his explosives,
The enemy, while carrying piles of flesh of life, couldn't stop laughing.
Compared to when they were first taken aback, they seemed more relaxed.
While putting a piece of fruit in his mouth, Sung JiHan asked him,
"We're enduring, but... is there any way to overcome this situation? We're just getting beaten up by the brain gods."
"We've requested protection from the BattleNet, so we'll soon enter the forced expulsion process of the brain gods."
"If there was such a thing, why didn't you do it earlier?"
"The protection request process is complicated, so it naturally takes some time. The wandering brain gods have always finished their conquests before the protection request process is completed, thus reigning as a terrifying existence in the universe..."
"How long will it take?"
"Three days left."
"Three days? I have to go to the Space League. If it overlaps, I'll log out."
Zap!
The enemy who was supplying fruit in the basket emitted brain waves in all directions at those words.
"That damn Space League...! Can't you just skip it once?"
"No. Each game is precious to humanity. Otherwise, we'll be demoted."
"What demotion are you talking about when there's a monster like you!"
"Humanity is still lacking in many aspects. If I start getting banned, who knows what will happen."
After this Space League game ends,
Sung JiHan will definitely be ranked first in the world.
If the opposing race team actively bans him, there is a risk of humanity's ranking plummeting to the lower ranks in an instant.
Of course, during the Space League game, unlike the national representative game,
There was a 30% chance of not getting banned due to the effect of the "Premium Membership."
"But if I believe in that, I might get banned again. I should take the points when I can."
Relying on probability could lead to a lot of bloodshed.
Sung JiHan wanted to secure victory when he could.
However...
"Kuk... I understand. Then, what about this? If we overcome this crisis, I will wholeheartedly help you! We will sponsor 100 humans among your race. Even if you give up one game, the results will be more than enough to compensate for it, right?"
"Hmm... Is that so?"
The brain god made such a tempting offer to Sung JiHan.
'With a brain god like him, it's a powerful sponsorship seat. If he sponsors 100 humans, it's worth considering...'
The Space League ranking is not only determined by the games,
Points are also given based on the performance of players in the games they usually play.
The current daily point earnings of human players are the lowest among the 20 races in the Space League.
But if the powerful brain god sponsors the players and they fulfill their duties...
The daily point earnings could increase significantly.
"Alright. Let's make it 200."
"200 is... too much! We can't give excessive privileges to one race!"
"Then, how many can you do?"
"That is..."
Just as Sung JiHan and the brain god were about to start negotiating...
"Longinus. Create a spear."
"Yes, master."
On the screen, the wandering brain god gave an order to Longinus, who was behind him.
The situation began to change rapidly.
Swoosh...
From Longinus' entire body, blood was drawn out, creating a massive blood spear.
It was twice as large as the divine spear that Sung JiHan had received from Longinus in the BattleNet.
And soon...
Crack!
A giant cross was drawn on the wall of brain waves.
From the window, purple smoke rose and letters appeared.
[Target condition, mismatch]
[Annihilation code manifestation failure]
Unlike when Sung JiHan was attacked, the divine spear of the divine assassin did not meet the target condition.
Just as the momentum of the blood spear was weakening.
Swoosh.
The divine assassin reached out his finger and moved towards the letters in the smoke.
The letters were modified in real time.
[Target condition, match]
[Annihilation code manifestation]
"...Is it possible to interfere with the letters like that?"
Sung JiHan widened his eyes.
Until now, even though he had seen the power of the wandering divine assassin, he hadn't been greatly impressed.
Although his power was much stronger than Sung JiHan's.
The martial arts he displayed were simply learned through the nameless martial arts in his previous life.
Instead, he was more impressed by the Dongbangsak's Taegeuk Sword or the Gugungpalgwae.
However.
"This is amazing...."
To intervene in the letters and change them in real time.
This was something he had never thought of.
And.
"Give me the spear."
"...Yes."
Swoosh.
The divine assassin was handed the blood spear of Longinus.
"...Kuh!"
Blood flowed from Longinus' body, and the blood spear began to expand.
It was twice the size of a human, fitting for a divine assassin much larger than Sung JiHan.
"It's done."
The divine assassin threw it towards the wall of the brainwave, where the cross of light was engraved.
Then.
Swoooosh...
The wall of the brainwave completely disappeared as if it had never existed in the first place.
The only area that disappeared was the area where the cross was drawn.
Creak. Creak...
Even if the pierced wall tried to fill the empty space on both sides.
The area swept away by the divine assassin's spear did not regenerate.
"Kluck!"
Longinus vomited blood and dropped his head.
The divine assassin turned his gaze towards him.
"It seems it's too much for you now. Go back and rest."
"...Understood, Master."
As light flashed from Longinus' body, he disappeared.
At the same time, the blood spear that was stuck in the cross also disappeared.
"...The divine assassin also uses the same Cross of Blood."
Although the outcome of Sung JiHan's annihilation was different in scale.
The divine assassin also displayed the same cross and stuck the spear using the inconvenient method.
"And he even summons the spear through Longinus instead of doing it himself. It's unnatural...."
If he was going to do it, he should have summoned the blood spear himself.
Why did he use that method?
Sung JiHan looked at the Cross of Blood that the divine assassin had shown a while ago and felt a strange feeling.
"Ma, it's ruined! Ruined!"
When the enemy next to him started screaming, Sung JiHan temporarily put his thoughts aside.
"What can you do with a Red Thunder? Can it work in that situation?"
"A Red Thunder is not a panacea. Can it work in that situation?"
[Oh, oh no... I thought I could continue to be the leader of the Brain Gods because my defense was so strong. Is it really impossible...?]
Shoo!
The situation on the screen began to progress urgently.
The Brain God and his followers entered through the breached wall.
[The wall has been breached...!]
[Don't fight here. Gather at the Divine Throne first!]
[If we combine as one Brain God and resist, there is still a possibility!]
The Brain Gods that made up the wall all scattered and began to retreat towards the Divine Throne.
However...
[Now, let's end this.]
Swish.
As the Brain God moved his finger once,
Crackling...
Sparks flew together, and the crowd of Brain Gods disappeared.
Unlike when they relied on the barrier of brainwaves,
The retreating Brain Gods were incredibly weak.
[...Already 10% of the Brain Gods have been slaughtered. This, I can't find an answer. It's over.]
"No, even if one wall is breached, is it really over?"
[Yes. The wall was the most important... It protected the Divine Throne, the essence of defense. In fact, I already expected that I couldn't resist the Brain God. But because of your explosives, I had hope...]
As the enemy watched the Brain God slaughtering the Brain Gods on the screen with blurry eyes,
He turned his gaze to Sung JiHan.
"You should log out. I will find my own way to survive."
"How?"
[...I will go according to the original plan. Through the explosives you gave me, I will live as a being that exists outside the realm of the Brain Gods, with a 'new concept.']
"Okay. You won't give me anything more?"
[No. There's nothing! Just get out of here. You thief! Now I have to wander the universe as a beggar too!]
Sung JiHan smirked at the enemy who was visibly angry.
"Well, I got enough."
For the past few days, Sung JiHan had been summoned to the control space of the Brain Gods, and the income he gained was considerable.
All he did was supply explosives blindly.
For the past few days, his brain stats had increased by over 100.
He was able to replenish his life force more than he had lost before.
And...
"The biggest gain was witnessing the power of the Brain God."
The power of the wandering Brain God that he would have to face someday.
In fact, he should have paid a huge price to see it.
But he watched it from the first-class seat, gaining stats and even eating fruit.
"Alright. I'll go then. Stay alive."
[...Okay.]
Just as he was about to leave,
Swish.
"Wait. Where are you going?"
Pithia, one of the Brain God's followers, pushed her face forward between the currents.
"The leader of the Brain Gods... You were here after all. You should be caught obediently."
[How, how did you get here so soon...! I'll go first. Human!]
As the form of the enemy crumbled and disappeared,
Pithia frowned.
"Running away is useless, it's just a waste of time."
"Are you in charge of the pursuit too?"
"Yes. It's my role to chase down the stragglers. Um, you... log out quickly before you get caught by the master."
"Alright."
Sung JiHan accepted Pithia's opinion and tried to log out.
"Oh, right. Wait a moment."
"Why?"
"Dongbangsak wants you to give this to you."
Pithia took out an old book from the air and handed it to him.
