God’s Nemesis Returns - Chapter 75

Objective: Eliminate all boss bugs that appear in the area within the time limit.

Reward: [100,000 points]

Additional rewards: Paid differently depending on contribution.

If you fail: The bugs will not return even after the disaster ends.

*You must kill all the boss bugs to return.

[Time left until the end of the twelfth plague: 5 days.]

[Current number of remaining boss bugs: 17]

In the eyes of Gyeongbokgung players.

A holographic window was created.

Kwaaaaaaaang!

The earth split apart, and a crack appeared in the sky.

Soon, a bunch of bugs came out.

“Chirrrrrrrr!”

“Karrrrr!”

War Beetle.

They were insects with enlarged bodies for war and armor-like armor made of iron.

There are two main types of war beetles that have appeared on Earth now.

It was a longicorn beetle and a stag beetle.

[Warning! The leader of the War Beetles, the ‘Dragonfly Beetle’, appears!]

[Warning! The leader of the War Beetles, the Stag Beetle, appears!]

… … .

“Chiririririr!”

And among the guys.

A stag beetle jumped out, striking the center of Gyeongbokgung Palace with its horns.

A red shell different from the other guys, and a huge size equivalent to a soccer field.

It was a leader bug.

“Chirrrrrr!”

“Chirrrrrr!”

Giant red-skinned stag beetles and stag beetles.

A whopping 10 of these guys were created.

“There are a lot.”

“This is ridiculous.”

Lee Won-jeong muttered as if he was dumbfounded at the sight of the situation.

“If the system says so, then the number of leader bugs is 17… … and 10 of them are created here?”

Because the leader bugs were so huge, each with a hard outer shell.

The players of the ‘Monarch’ faction led by Lee Won-jeong were helpless.

“Eww!”

“Hey, stop it!”

“Shingijeon, bring me the cannon!”

“Wizard! Wizard! What are you doing!”

Even if you use a weapon that shoots hundreds of arrows filled with magic power, a cannon that can shoot magic bullets, etc.

It was a crowd.

All the big bugs that should exist in the vast Seoul and Incheon areas are gathered here.

‘What is this…? … So the fallen demon’s prophecy wasn’t wrong?’

To Lee Won-jeong, who was so flustered.

Sihyeon said.

“I told you, it’s dangerous.”

“Did you know this?”

“I knew there would be a ton of bugs here. I don’t know why.”

This statement was true.

“That’s why I said I would help you. I would use the throne as well.”

“… … I don’t know how you can keep your promise.”

Lee Won-jeong said, clutching his sword, Jeon Eo-do.

Now he knew.

That those insanely huge bugs can’t be stopped by just the ‘Monarch’ faction players.

“If you keep your promise first, I will keep my promise as a monarch.”

“of course.”

Watching Lee Won-jeong rush out to command the battlefield himself.

Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth.

‘It reminds me of old times.’

Before regression.

In fact, the Gyeongbokgung Palace area was infested with giant bugs.

Yi Won-jeong and the military forces suffered enormous damage.

Of course, Lee Won-jeong quickly recovers from the damage and stands up again thanks to the support of the gods of the Hwanin faction and his own will.

‘There’s nothing wrong with paying off debt like this.’

From Sihyeon’s perspective, it wasn’t just about paying off the debt.

The throne at Gyeongbokgung Palace is the only ‘throne’ located within the Seoul area.

If the flow before the return were to continue, the throne would be destroyed by the leader bugs.

It was not restored until the fifth catastrophe.

For Si-Hyeon, who needs to pass the as quickly as possible, there is a disruption in his plans.

It wasn’t a very good thing.

“Okay, then… …Okjan.”

In Sihyeon’s words.

An orc of enormous size stepped forward.

“It’s my debut.”

Hoooow… … .

Kwaaaaaaaah!

At the same time as Shihyeon’s command.

Oaken’s white hammer struck the leader bug’s outer shell.

“Chirrrrrrrrr!”

Is it because of the huge shock?

One of the leader bugs just fell to the ground.

Kwaaaaang!

“Kuaaaah!”

The monarch players guarding Gyeongbokgung Palace were staring ahead, forgetting what they were doing.

I couldn’t believe it.

“Were orcs really that strong of a creature?”

“They’re on a whole different level from the guys we dealt with during the Great Calamity, right?”

‘Of course you guys.’

Sihyeon chuckled.

‘Who is Oakjan?’

Oak grove.

He was the third of Shihyeon’s followers and the conqueror of the Predator.

I was literally flying.

It was not a figurative expression.

As soon as the disaster started, he went berserk.

In his right hand, he holds the ‘Holy Relic: Hammer of the White Flame (S)’ given by Michael.

In his left hand, he holds the ‘Draupnir Replica (D)’ that Sihyeon gave him.

The already strong guy even picked up the items of the absolute gods, Michael and Odin.

That ability had increased tremendously.

“good.”

Still with their arms crossed.

Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth.

Oakjan’s mission is one.

This is to push away the chief insects so that Gyeongbokgung Palace suffers as little damage as possible.

And he was actually making it work.

The opponent was a tough war bug the size of a soccer field.

I couldn’t handle the Oakzan that had become even stronger since it was the final boss.

“Chirrrrrr… … .”

“Tsarrrrr!”

“come!”

Every time Oakjan puts strength into his two legs and jumps up.

It was enough to create a crater on the ground.

After rising into the air like that, Oakjan swings his white hammer.

The leader bug hit me in the head and I was thrown backwards.

Kookookookookook… … .

In the aftermath, countless buildings collapsed, but Oakjan paid no attention.

The order Sihyeon gave him was to guard Gyeongbokgung Palace.

Anything else was of no use to me.

“You fight well.”

Sihyeon still had her arms crossed and was not moving.

The reason was simple.

Because there was no need for him to come forward.

Conqueror, Oakjan.

Thanks to the efforts of Sihyeon and his followers.

The guy is even stronger than he was in his prime when he dominated the Predator.

‘Okran, the first orc conqueror who ruled over all orcs.’

Shh.

‘The guy was a half-breed, or hybrid, born between an ogre and an orc.’

To begin with, the very existence of a conqueror among the Orc race meant a hybrid between an Ogre and an Orc.

Their power is at its strongest when their blood is exactly 5:5.

And Orczan had about 9 Orc blood and 1 Ogre blood.

In fact, even at this level, it was true that he had a tremendous amount of ogre blood.

Sihyeon could not be satisfied with this.

So, he had Park Na-eun use witchcraft and magic.

A young ogre from the eighth plague.

And Rom, the Ogre Army Commander from the Predator Calamity.

The blood of the two was forcibly injected into Oakjan.

So not only did Oakjan grow bigger, but his body itself became stronger.

Even without using the special effect of ‘Relic: Hammer of the White Flame (S)’.

Even without using the rune magic of ‘Draupnir Replica (D)’.

So much so that it can shoo away those big bugs.

Kwaaang!

‘You’re crazy.’

While commanding soldiers and generals.

Lee Won-jeong swallowed dry saliva after seeing Oakjan’s appearance.

In fact, it wasn’t that serious of a situation when a single orc sided with the Fallen Demon.

The problem was that those orcs were insanely strong.

A size that appears to be 1.5 times larger than an average orc, and has solid-looking muscles.

Even when facing a giant, powerful red stag beetle head-on, he has the strength and courage to not be pushed back.

‘Where on earth did you get such a monster? Does it have any tamer skills?’

Lee Won-jeong was dazed for a moment.

He then shook his head vigorously.

Although the giant orc is doing a great job, the number of enemy leader bugs is a whopping 10.

Considering that the guy can only deal with one at a time.

He himself couldn’t just sit still like this.

“Generals who have made a contract with God, help the orcs and drive out the boss bugs! Think about pushing them away rather than capturing them! Protecting Gyeongbokgung Palace and the players is the priority! The remaining players, catch the small war beetles!”

‘General-level’ players who have made a contract with God focus on pushing back the leader bug.

The rest of the team focused on dealing with mobs.

Lee Won-jeong was a professional gamer before the disaster and was also a commentator for the professional league.

They were specialized in understanding these situations, formulating strategies, and acting quickly.

‘Even if it’s just to use the throne… … This guy has no choice but to help us. He’s a prophet and this strong, so he should know how to minimize the damage in the current situation. There must be a reason why he’s pushing away the leader bug instead of catching it.’

Lee Won-jeong’s eyes lit up.

‘We don’t know the fallen demon’s intentions yet, but there’s a high probability that doing whatever he does will be the greatest benefit. For him and for us.’

“The King commands! … … .”

“The King commands! … … .”

The subjects spread Yi Won-jeong’s orders to all directions.

Thanks to that, the players here were able to follow the instructions of the guild leader.

As usual, we used the newly built walls around Gyeongbokgung Palace for training.

Kwaaang!

Mercury, a siege weapon, spewed out magical power and shells.

Among them, thanks to the players who wielded the divine arrows, hundreds and thousands of arrows imbued with magical power were fired at the War Beetles.

Although it couldn’t do any real damage thanks to the War Beetle’s strong shell.

I could push it away with the power contained within it.

“Now is the time!”

“Kill them! You bastards!”

During this gap, other players cut down the War Beetles.

“General! Here it is!”

“We have to help that orc!”

Players who made contracts with lower-level gods of Goryeo and Joseon and gained more power joined forces to fight against the boss bugs.

Thanks to the fact that there were quite a few lower-level gods who were of military or general origin during the Goryeo and Joseon Dynasties.

They somehow managed to keep the leader bugs in check.

Even if it is as large as a soccer field.

“Protect the throne! If the throne falls, it’s over!”

Lee Won-jeong shouted.

The throne in the center of Gyeongbokgung Palace.

If only the throne was still alive, I could have used the points to quickly restore this place.

Protecting this was a priority.

Of course, the situation was not easy.

Because there were ten giant bugs attached to it, each the size of a football field.

Srrrrung.

While conducting like that.

Lee Won-jeong jumped into the battlefield himself.

[Item, ‘Taegeuk Gap (S)’ increases all abilities of surrounding subjects by 10%.]

[The morale of surrounding subjects increases due to the effect of the item ‘Taegeuk Gap (S)’.]

As Lee Won-jeong’s item, Taegeuk Gap, began to shine.

Lee Won-jeong shouted.

“Do not be afraid! Your king is with you! As long as your king is with you, the land of the new Joseon will not be crossed by such evil hands!”
