Overgeared

People were very shocked.

“A God of the beginning...”

With the exception of Rebecca, the prevailing theory was that the Gods of the beginning were practically dead. Had Yatan and Hanul been fine, hell and the East Continent would have still belonged to them.

Hanul, now appearing a few years after Grid claimed the East Continent as his land, left the people baffled. He claimed this land was his territory.

Hanul had targeted only the cultivators. The rest of the people survived because of this, however, they weren’t exactly cheering and celebrating. They were rather anxious, unsure what would happen next.

Quick-witted as always, Hwang Gildong was the first to bow. “I am blessed to see the great God of the beginning,” he said.

Hanu’s gaze finally shifted from the hundreds of dead cultivators to the humans.

Old Sword Demon, the warriors of the Chivalrous Robbers, and the daoist immortals, including Yeo Yulan, also bowed their heads. Meanwhile, most players couldn’t hide their excitement and observed the situation with interest. Fortunately, Hanul wasn’t offended by their reaction.

Hanul looked around at the crowd. [All of you... Soon, you will worship me wholeheartedly,] he said before vanishing. Only a strong sense of will remained, echoing in the space.

This was a declaration of war against Grid.

“Amazing. We survived because of his interference.”

“The Gods of the beginning are real.”

“Yes. I thought Hanul was inactive because he stayed quiet after creating a few wide-area quests.”

After Hanul left, the city was bustling. Unexpectedly, the players cheered. The cultivators had been insulting and harassing them for so long, so the players finally felt relieved that Hanul wiped their enemies, indirectly getting revenge for them.

Most players didn’t care about the Gods to begin with. A God of the beginning, who was thought to be inactive, suddenly appearing and declaring war on Grid wasn’t something that ordinary people cared about.

“...Wasn’t light the symbol of Rebecca?” Old Sword Demon asked.

Only a few people knew that Hanul had been trying to take in some of Rebecca’s power for a long time, and Grid was among those people.

Hwang Gildong was fed up.

“This is unbelievable. He moved at the speed of light, and I couldn’t even see what he did. I worry that I might die before ever seeing such a display of power with my own eyes.”

“It’s concerning seeing Absolutes slaughtered without being able to fight back. It means that even Absolutes can’t react to Hanul’s speed.”

“Certainly... I’m worried about the safety of the Four Auspicious Beasts. I don’t know how God Blue Dragon was able to wound such a monster like Hanul in the past...”
