The following notifications rang in the ears of Minhyuk, who borrowed the powers of the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal.

[You have borrowed some of the powers of the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal!]

[All of your stats have increased by 38%.]

[You will now be able to use some of the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal’s skills.]

[You can use the Active Skill: Flying Nimbus!]

[You can use the Active Skill: Cloning Technique!]

[You can use the Active Skill: Monkey Army!]

[You can use the Active Skill: Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal Power to Govern Time and Space!]

[You can use the Passive Skill: Ruyi Jingu Bang!]

[With the Passive Skill: Ruyi Jingu Bang dwelling in your sword, you will be able to freely control the size of your sword!]

[With the Passive Skill: Ruyi Jingu Bang dwelling in your sword, your basic and skill attack power will increase by 100%!]

Minhyuk received a tremendous boost to his power, albeit temporarily, and it was at the same level and power that Sun Wukong could use.

‘There’s nothing to be afraid of with this,’ Minhyuk thought as he rushed to the battlefield where Hanwoo was fighting alone.

However, the courage that he mustered just now immediately withered away the moment he caught sight of the Jade Emperor’s Envoy, Rumacar, and the Heavenly Army.

[Heavenly Army. Level 549.]

“…?”

Minhyuk could not help but be shocked. He might not know the full story but he could tell that the Heavenly Army was something that the man named Rumacar was leading. Shocking as it might seem, that was just the average level of the army. There were also some that were classified as Heavenly Commanders among them.

[Heavenly Commander. Level 601.]

‘…’

They were at a level that someone like Minhyuk could only mumble ‘Crazy!’ upon seeing them. None of the players had reached Level 600 yet. Of course, for high rankers beyond Level 500, their levels were not that important anymore. Their control, special skills and artifacts could make up for the lack in levels. In fact, having better specs would mean that they could even take on someone that was fifty levels higher than them.

‘Even if that was the case, this is still…’

The level of the Heavenly Army was on par with the high rankers while the Heavenly Commanders were of a higher level than them. There was even Rumacar amidst their ranks.

[Warning!]

[Danger!]

[Warning!]

[Danger!]

[Warning!]

[Dan…!]

[A powerful existence that can shake the entire Edea has appeared!]

[Unable to resist!]

[Rumacar has triggered his Battle Energy!]

[You have fallen into a helpless state after meeting with someone that you cannot fight against!]

[All of your stats have decreased by 23%!]

[This is a power that your invincible body cannot resist!]

[The Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal’s power has helped you resist the abnormal status!]

[Your breath has turned ragged and your body has started to shake after meeting someone that you cannot fight against!]

[Your physical and magical attack and defense have decreased by 40%!]

[…invincible body…]

[…Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal’s power…]

[…cannot fight against…]

[…Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal’s power…]

The notifications rang non-stop.

‘What the hell is that? That’s the estimated level?’

Minhyuk was appalled. He was already aware that the people of Edea were far more powerful than the people in the world that he was from, but this level was a tad bit too high than what he expected.

‘Fortunately, I have Sun Wukong’s power.’

How powerful was Rumacar? To be honest, Minhyuk could not really measure his power.

Still, Minhyuk had already decided to fight this battle. He swiftly descended from the sky using the Flying Nimbus and headed straight towards where the Bull Demon King, or Hanwoo, was.

As he flew down, he saw more than 10,000 bodies of the soldiers of the Heavenly Army surrounding Hanwoo. In other words, Hanwoo killed them all.

‘What tremendous strength…’

Minhyuk knew that God of Snakes Elizabeth and Spear God Ben would not be able to show that much power, even if they used all their strength in one attack. Hanwoo, with that much power, still fell in front of Rumacar, unable to do anything.

Minhyuk immediately used the Sword of Absolute Death and stopped Rumacar from cutting off Hanwoo’s limbs.

Slash, slash, slash, slash, slash!

Minhyuk plunged his sword into the ground the moment he landed, casting one of the skills that was loaned to him. Sun Wukong’s Cloning Technique was said to be so outstanding and shocking that no one in the world could rival it.

[Cloning Technique. Chapter 64.]

[Great Army of 500,000 Cloning Technique has been casted!]

[The Great Army of 500,000 Cloning Technique is a skill that creates a large number of clones that instills a great sense of fear and helplessness in your enemies!]

[You can only use this skill to create clones once!]

[The clones will only be able to exert 5% of your damage upon casting!]

The clones immediately surrounded the Heavenly Army, their swords pointed towards them.

“Sword of Absolute Death.”

Stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab—

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

Even though they could only deal 5% of Minhyuk’s damage, it was fine, because each of the 500,000 clones sent hundreds of swords flying. Of course, the problem was that many of the attacks had missed and did not even do any damage to the Heavenly Army. The concept was similar to Level 100 players attacking Level 200 players and most of their attacks missing.

It was quite difficult to deal with the Heavenly Army with just 5% of his damage. However, even if Minhyuk had to completely depend on a stroke of luck to land successful attacks, he would still be able to land at least one. After all, hundreds of thousands of sword attacks landing on a single person were definitely enough to injure the enemies.

“Aaaaaaaaack!”

“Keheoooook!”

“What, what the hell is this…!”

More than a million of sword lights appeared in the sky above them. Chapter 64 of the Cloning Technique was a skill that could frighten the enemies.

Meanwhile, ridiculous notifications rang in Rumacar’s ears.

[The Heavenly Army is trembling in fear!]

[The Heavenly Army’s morale is decreasing!]

[All of the troops’ stats will decrease by 17%. All of the troops’ defensive power will decrease by 15%!]

‘The great and mighty Heavenly Army is afraid?’

Minhyuk stood in front of Hanwoo as he called out to him, “Hanwoo.”

“…”

“Hyung’s here.”

“…”

Hanwoo, the Bull Demon King, could tell that this man was the owner of the unknown voice that he kept on hearing in his head. As soon as the man called out to him with a soft and gentle voice, he felt this strange thumping in his heart.

Who the hell was this person in front of him? What kind of person was he for him to be able to borrow the power of the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal? And who was he for him to be very interested in him?

‘Why are you fighting for me?’

The Bull Demon King’s own people and troops had once turned their backs on him. Of course, it was different now. But the fact that they did that back then still remained. However, that was not the case for the man in front of him. The Bull Demon King could tell that the man’s eyes were filled with sincerity.

‘He has sincerity and integrity. His eyes are telling me that he would give me anything that I wanted and needed. What am I to you? What are you to me?’

The Bull Demon King was both curious and grateful. He grabbed the man’s warm and big hands that reached out to him and raised his body with his help. However, their emotional and touching reunion was cut short.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom—

Even though they were seriously wounded, the Heavenly Army was still the Heavenly Army and powerful to boot. They were able to sweep away the clones swiftly. Just like that, hundreds of clones disappeared in a ‘poof!’ with a slash of their swords.

The thin and flimsy cloth that covered Rumacar’s body was torn, his body dripping with blood. He took a step forward, his sword still dangling lightly from his hold.

Step—

Stab—

[You have received a fatal wound!]

[Your HP has dropped below 90%!]

“…Ugh!!!”

Rumacar just took one step but he had already appeared in front of Minhyuk, piercing Minhyuk through his shoulders with his sword.

‘What the hell is this?!’

Was it because his speed was so fast that no one could see him? Or was it because of a passive skill? Minhyuk did not know.

Step, step—

Stab— Stab, stab—!

Minhyuk’s body was stabbed once again. Realizing the seriousness of the matter, he immediately cast another Cloning Technique.

[Cloning Technique. Chapter 3.]

[Three clones have been created.]

[The three clones will have the same defense, speed and agility as you, and will make it hard for your opponent to distinguish one from the other.]

[The three clones will confuse your enemies while the main body will pierce through their hearts!]

Poof—!

“I still can’t figure out how you managed to borrow the power of the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal.”

Three clones with the same speed, agility and defensive power appeared, making it more difficult for Minhyuk’s opponent to identify which was his main body.

Dash, dash, dash—

Four Minhyuks dashed forward; one going to the left, one to the right, one in front, and the remaining one leaping on the sky above them, skillfully wielding the sword in their hands and…

[Ruyi Jingu Bang]

[Just like the Ruyi Jingu Bang, you can adjust the size of your sword to whatever size you want.]

The clone up front aimed his sword that had increased in length at Rumacar’s heart. However, Rumacar twisted his toes and easily avoided the attack. Then, he looked at the sword aiming for his waist from the left and parried it with the flat of his blade.

Clang—

Rumacar quickly moved, lifting his leg and getting away easily, as the one from the right tried to attack him from the bottom. As for the one from above? He tried to slam his huge sword down on Rumacar.

Thud—

“Keok!”

Before that could even happen, Rumacar, who had moved at the speed of light, was already holding Minhyuk by the neck.

Minhyuk was very shocked, ‘How in the world…’

With Sun Wukong’s power dwelling in him, Minhyuk was now almost 40% stronger than normal. But what happened just now showed Minhyuk that Rumacar was as strong and as powerful as Great Demon Verus, who he had fought in the past.

Minhyuk recalled the conversation he had with Sun Wukong.

‘I’m going to lend you some of my power. However, this will still not be enough to deal with Rumacar.’

‘Are you sure?’

‘I’m very sure.’

Minhyuk had no choice but to consult with Sun Wukong. That was when their conversation steered to the Jade Emperor’s Seal.

‘How about asking the Jade Emperor to kill him?’

‘…I don’t think that’s possible.’

Minhyuk and Sun Wukong continued to think of a solution as they continued their discussion. Then, Minhyuk said, ‘It’s reckless but I’ll give it a try. First things first, I’ll go and provoke him and make him bring in all of his troops.’

‘May the tides of war be in your favor.’

That was right. Minhyuk, to some extent, had already predicted this situation. However, even though he predicted it, he still felt afraid.

Clench—

Rumacar tightened his grip on Minhyuk’s neck, intent on twisting Minhyuk’s neck as he said, “A god from another world trying to destroy and kill me, the Jade Emperor’s Envoy?”

Even though Minhyuk’s neck was grabbed tightly like that, he was still able to cast another skill.

[Cloning Technique. Chapter 4.]

[Switch.]

Poof—

Minhyuk switched places with one of his clones in an instant and…

“Overlord’s Technique.”

Shwaaaaaaaaaaa—

“Ugh!”

Blazing flames erupted and devoured Rumacar, pushing him away from Minhyuk.

Crackle—

Rumacar tried to extinguish the flames that surrounded him but could not do so. The Overlord’s Technique that Minhyuk was using here was at its strongest.

Meanwhile, the Heavenly Army slowly came back to their senses and began to slaughter the 200,000 troops from the Kingdom of Eden. At the same time, the space above them was once again torn apart as a set of stairs appeared. There was also an unidentified being slowly descending from those stairs.

“…”

[Heavenly Army’s First Knight Order’s Commander Aervo has appeared!]

[Level 646.]

[Heavenly Army’s First Mage Order’s Commander Callan has appeared!]

[Level 655.]

[Heavenly Army’s Second Knight Order’s Commander Karen has appeared!]

[Level 640.]

“…”

Minhyuk was left speechless as the commanders of the Heavenly Army continued to appear and descend from the sky one after the other.

‘This is the might of the Heavenly Army’s commanders…’ Minhyuk thought, a groan escaping his lips.

There were eight of them that appeared. Each of their levels was high enough to wipe out an entire kingdom in the world that Minhyuk played in.

“Stop… This is my fight,” the Bull Demon King said, rising fully to his feet as he listened to the screams of the dying soldiers of the Kingdom of Eden. He continued, “Thank you. But you should go now. The ending of this war will not change just because one person appeared to help me.”

“…”

Step, step, step, step—

Rumacar, who was devoured by the blazing flames earlier, began to walk towards them once again. His top was completely burned by the fire, which revealed his shiny and lean muscles. His body had burns here and there, but it did not take away his dignity and majesty. His long flowing hair framed his handsome visage as he looked at Minhyuk sharply.

Step—

The commanders of the Heavenly Army also took a step forward and lined up beside him. Then, the crack in space widened as 250,000 Heavenly Soldiers wearing golden full plate armor appeared. Some of them were riding on top of white warhorses, some dragging huge siege weapons, while some walked on foot. Their majesty and dignity was enough to steal anyone’s breath away.

Edea was a world that none of the players could fight in. They would be nothing but helpless lambs in this world.

“Please go!!!” The Bull Demon King shouted.

But then, the sword in Minhyuk’s hand changed shape and turned into the Ruyi Jingu Bang. The Bull Demon King looked at the Ruyi Jingu Bang intently.

Shwaaaaaaa—

“…?”

But nothing happened.

Rumacar and the Heavenly Army began to charge to where they were.

“Quick!!!” The Bull Demon King shouted desperately at Minhyuk but the man did not budge.

[You have used the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal Power to Govern Time and Space!!!]

[You are twisting and moving space!!!]

[The ones that have moved through space will experience death in this world. However, their deaths would not be their real deaths!!!]

Minhyuk turned to look at the Bull Demon King and said, “Just now, what did you say, Hanwoo? The ending of this war will not change just because one person appeared to help you?”

“…”

That was right. The Bull Demon King obviously said those words. Minhyuk just grinned at him and said, “What makes you think I’m the only one that came here?”

“…?”

Pat—

Then, at that moment, a hand rested on the Bull Demon King’s shoulders as the soft and gentle voice of an old man rang in his ears, “So, this is what you look like, Hanwoo?”

“…!!!”

Minhyuk was well-versed in ways to intimidate and suppress the momentum of his opponents. He triggered God’s Voice.

[The Spear God from Another World stands with the Bull Demon King and aims his spear at the enemies!!!]

The old man walked past the Bull Demon King.

“Hanwoo, don’t try to take this on your own.”

Another voice rang in the Bull Demon King’s ears.

[The One that used to be called the Demon from Another World stands with the Bull Demon King…!]

“Do… Do I have to call you Hanwoo oppa now?”

[The God of Snakes from Another World…]

“I am Conir! Hanwoo, nice to meet you again!”

[The Sword Saint from Another World…]

“Fufufufu. The beautiful love story between Hanwoo and a cow from another world!!!”

[The Great Sage from Another World…]

God’s Voice rang constantly in the battlefield.

Boooooooom!!! Boooooooooom!!! Booooooooom!!!

The Bull Demon King turned his head at the loud and booming drum beats that rang behind him. There, he saw the Beyond the Heaven’s Kingdom’s castle, a castle that was showing off its might and dignity. Then, the soldiers, who appeared on the walls of the castle, roared loudly.

“Uwaaaaaaaaaaaah!”

“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”

Countless troops marched proudly as they poured out of the now open gates, holding flags with the symbol of a fork and knife crossed over each other.

Booooooooom!!! Boooooooooom!!! Boooooooom!!!

Along with the sound of drums, the soldiers of the Beyond the Heavens’ Kingdom roared as loud as they could.

“Beyond the Heavens! Beyond the Heavens! Beyond the Heavens!”

“Beyond the Heavens! Beyond the Heavens! Beyond the Heavens!”

A large army of around 600,000 appeared along with Beyond the Heaven’s temporary commander, Ben. The moment the old man raised his spear, the loud shouts immediately stopped.

“Your Majesty!!! Please give us your orders!!!” They shouted all at once.

Minhyuk turned around and patted the Bull Demon King on the shoulder, “You are not alone.”

“…!”

[The God from Another World is the King of the Beyond the Heavens’ Kingdom!]

The god and king from another world looked at his kingdom’s soldiers and spat coldly, “Destroy them.”
