Overgeared

“It’s finally over...”

“We did it...! We did it!!”

“Waaahhhhhhhh!”

Hundreds of thousands of people cheered in unison. The moon fell and scattered jade-colored meteor showers. The collapse of the Full Moon Fortress decorated the night sky. Something ugly at its core brought a beautiful ending to the people watching it collapse.

After a few days of struggle, humanity had triumphed. The players, who had taken the lead despite getting killed over and over again by the thousands of cultivators, gathered at the Full Moon Fortress. Their contribution was enormous. They escaped with their lives by using return scrolls just before dying or drinking potions and instantly restoring their HP.

If their weapons were destroyed because they couldn't withstand the power of the enemy’s Treasures, the players bought a replacement from the auction house to fill their empty hands. If they died, which was inevitable, they resurrected and rejoined the battlefield.

The players’ traits were unimaginably strong in a war of attrition. They had exhausted the cultivators who had lived for hundreds to tens of thousands of years. The cultivators couldn’t understand the players, whose number didn’t decline no matter how many times they died. The longer the war went on, the more the morale of the cultivators decreased to an uncontrollable degree.

This was the result.

[Pitiful... Heartbreaking... I never thought that what I have spent all my life building would end up in vain...]

The lament of the immortal, who was left alone and fought to the end, was his shabby final will. The weapons and spells of the Apostles, Tower members, and Overgeared members stuck like porcupine thorns in his body. He finally turned to ash. The thorns were so poisonous that they destroyed what he had built for tens of thousands of years.

“Is this the end of this situation in the East Continent? No, there are still some bugs left.”

Braham shifted his gaze. He still hadn’t retracted his magic. He was staring straight at the three masters. They were the three gods who could move the clouds and summon the wind and rain. They surrounded the wounded Four Auspicious Beasts, threatening them. The Four Auspicious Beasts were in tatters after holding out against the immortals without pause until the reinforcements from the Overgeared Guild arrived.

“You dare.”

Braham’s magic power fluctuated as he raised his eyes fiercely in that direction. The magic in his hands was on the verge of being fired.

The Blue Dragon barely managed to speak. “Wait, this is a misunderstanding. They helped us.”

Braham looked puzzled as he tilted his head. “...Did they really?”

The reactions of the other beasts weren’t much different. The last gods left in the Hwan Kingdom, loyal to Hanul, surely resented Grid. Yet they helped the Four Auspicious Beasts who served Grid? This seemed illogical.

The three masters couldn’t cope with the hundreds of people asking them for an explanation and sighed. Pungsa was the first to speak.

[We planned to go and meet the farmer god according to the will of God Grid.]

Unsa said, [But we didn’t feel like it. Even though we look like this, we have served a God of the beginning. How can we go and help with farming? Does that make sense?]

Usa also chimed in. [...So while we were in the Hwan Kingdom, where no one was around, thinking what we could do, we witnessed the war between humans and cultivators. The Four Auspicious Beasts were in trouble, just like when we got invaded. They looked so pathetic that we couldn’t stand it.]

However, no one replied to them.

“...What is this nonsense?”

Braham kept his violent tone even after becoming a god. He seemed to be on the verge of swearing as he demanded a more detailed explanation.
