Chapter 308: You Are No Longer the Foe I Must Defeat (2/2)

The Pink Flatfish, however, had sheathed his sword and walked off the arena!

“What are you doing!?” Alfonso felt extremely frustrated and upset, as if he punched into cotton.

“You’re no longer the foe I must defeat now.” The Pink Flatfish calmly said then, that funny fish face of his no longer leveled at Alfonso but within the city.

There, a dark colossal eye was slowly rising. One did not have to open their sense to clearly feel its oppressiveness and malice.

“That’s…”

***

The giant eye was staring at the Players and city watch soldiers who had gathered beneath the consulate.

It wasn’t doing anything, however, but just by being present, the building beneath it was slowly turned to cheesy goo by an unknown force.

Even though the Players kept their distance, the Players realized that the durability of their various items were slowly decreasing as well. Beside them, white smoke was billowing from the bodies of the city watch soldiers, with their clothes and exposed skin slowly melting off.

Moreover, under the giant eye’s stare, the soldiers had lost all of their ability to fight. The Players therefore had to chase them off and have them hold the line some distance away.

Despite the giant eye having no vocal organ, it was still speaking with a human voice-and it was not just one voice either, but thousands of different voices belonging to man, women, elderly and children weaved into one and speaking at the same time, and otherworldly yet wide-ranging chorus.

“This is the threshold of the gods, because even the human body could reach the domain beyond the supernatural! Do you still have hopes for the gods who exploit minions like you after bearing witness to me?” The giant eye said then. “I’ll show mercy because we are all humans, and as long as you are willing to renounce the darkness to join me so that you wouldn’t remain as the gods’ lackeys, I shall forgive your sins and even bestow the same measure with which I had become god!”

The words and the voice had a mysterious bewitching power to it-any believer who was less than a zealot of any church might have fallen for it since Divine Grace was mostly exclusive to the churches’ hierarchy, and many believers go their entire lives without ever witnessing a single godly miracle.

And yet, the giant eye was facing the Playersbelievers of the God of Games.

They were very different from the believers of any other church because they were constantly in touch with a miracle: The System which Xi Wei, the God of Games bestowed upon them. All of them had a definitive goal in improving themselves through various aspects such as levels, skills, and items, unlike other believers who were left hopeless and confused about the future.Furthermore, almost every believer of the Church of Games had all experienced bitterness in life, and the one who pulled them out of futureless lives and gifted them hope was none other than Xi Wei’s Church of Games

That was why its bewitching wouldn’t work on them.

“Enough with that nonsense! What right have you to call yourself human when you don’t even look like one!”

Princess Leah shouted as she waved the flag spear bearing the crest of the Church of Games, allowing it to soar in the air. “I know now your pain that led you to hate the gods so bitterly, just as I wouldn’t defend the other gods. Even so, your blasphemous words had insulted my faith-the God of Games of whom granted me hope and salvation from endless despair!”

“I won’t ask for you to apologize from the God of Games, but keep your eye open, monster, and watch as we beat you until you cry!” The other players then echoed her raging bellow with roars of equally righteous anger. “Hear, hear!”

“Screw you!”

“Do you think you’re better just because your eye is bigger?” “Drop dead, monster!”

In the next split second, the Players began to charge at the monster that was virtually an evil god to them without self-regard.
