『Dammit!』

『This guy doesn’t know what “enough” is! When will this stop?!』

『This isn’t any different from the subjugation of the heavenly world!』

Countless divine beings released their powers in the glaringly white seventy-seventh floor. Lightning rained down and storms of ice spun rapidly. Holy power flurried so intensely that it was like the foretold end of the world was coming now.

Even on the ninety-eighth floor, where the heavenly world was, a battle like this wouldn’t occur. If it did, all the societies and the stage would’ve been destroyed. However, the divine beings relentlessly attacked with their full power, not minding whether or not the seventy-seventh floor would be destroyed.

But of course, if the seventy-seventh floor was one to be destroyed so easily, it would’ve been cleared a lot earlier. The world of light quickly restored itself no matter the damage that it sustained, and it continued to counterattack.

Rays of light clustered and flashed endlessly. Dragons of light flew at the divine beings and tried to bite at their arms and legs. They shot magic and released various powers. The debuffs and curses continued to prevent the divine beings from moving.

Still, the divine beings forced themselves to move.

[The god ‘Chandra’ has gained 130 contribution points!]

[The god ‘Montu’ has gained 210 contribution points!]

[The god ‘Dun Cow’ has gained 152 contribution points!]

…

[The current highest contribution points is 25,500, and the record-holder is ‘Saulė.’]

[It is advised you work harder.]

As the scores continued to pop up in front of them, the divine beings continued to feel motivated by the system set up by the Central Bureau. They already burned with the desire and greed to climb higher on the hierarchy, so they couldn’t help but feel excited as they saw their efforts put into numbers.

The quest was being given to all societies and ranks without bias. The “honor” of an individual gained here would have a strong influence on the other divine beings, and this would become “faith.” It was the prime opportunity to increase one’s level… Whenever there was a large-scale war, there would always be a hero or two who arose from the less spotlighted beings. They could even become like Zeus and his brothers who brought down Kronos and sat on the throne of Olympus.

Everyone was blazing with passion, but it didn’t bring only positive results.

Pow!

『How…could you?』Saulė, who was focusing on her attacks so she could continue to have the highest score, spurted out blood with a sudden pain from her back.

Right behind her was Dazhbog, her comrade and lover, standing with a twisted smile. He had stabbed her in the back while she was busy fighting.『I told you that you shouldn’t leave your back open to others, didn’t I?』

『But…!』

『I will not forget your sacrifice.』

Swish! Thwak.

[‘Saulė’ has died in battle!]

[Saulė’s contribution points are given to Dazhbog!]

In blind spots, betrayals were occurring everywhere. It was difficult to subjugate Allforone, but it was very easy to steal contribution points from a comrade who only focused on the battle. If a lower divine being suddenly started doing well, the threatened higher divine beings gathered and worked together to eliminate him.

Just as Yeon-woo expected, the jealous, prideful, and hierarchical divine beings couldn’t accept the fact that someone else was standing above them.

『Haha! What a shitshow.』Demons like Niflheim and the East Demon Army scoffed.

However, it didn’t end there… Splash! Saulė’s corpse powerlessly fell to the ground and into the shadows waiting at the bottom of the stage. It made a splashing noise, then gentle ripples of darkness appeared along the shadow.

[The power ‘Shadow Domain’ is slowly invading the stage!]

[Current invasion rate: 17.2%]

[The power ‘Hades’ Spirit Eating Sword’ whines saying this isn’t enough!]

[Digestion rate of ‘Nevadba’: 72.7%]

[Digestion rate of ‘Arashi’: 68.4%]

…

[Digestion rate of ‘Saulė’: 26.1%]

[The Fruit of Good and Evil is being created in the ‘Shadow Domain.’]

While the divine beings were busy stabbing each other in the back, the properties of darkness were added to Yeon-woo’s shadow and it covertly began to spread to the rest of the stage. Ssssss… It was to weaken Allforone’s power on the stage and swallow dead gods like Saulė.

『Goodness! There’s no one more demonic than you when it comes to such things.』Agares giggled at Yeon-woo’s opportunistic actions.『As expected!
