Damn Necromancer

Chapter 398: Higher God

[Condition 1. To prevent the physical body from collapsing under the weight of the enlarged divinity, reconstruct a transcendent vessel through supreme materials capable of withstanding the pressure of a star.]

[Condition 2. Possess a transcendent mental medium capable of accommodating and controlling faith.]

“……Ah.”

Kim Minwoo, who was reading down the system window, let out a hollow laugh. To summarize, it was simple.

The amount of faith flowing in right now was so ignorantly massive that if left alone, he wouldn't be able to handle the weight of the enlarged divinity, and his physical body would burst first or his brain would burn out.

An unbearable burst of laughter erupted from Kim Minwoo's mouth. He kicked the head of an Annihilator unit cyborg rolling at his feet tuk.

If even the durability and calculation power of mere execution unit tin cans were at this level, what about the heart of the 5 great megacorps that held the capital and technological prowess of this entire galaxy in their grasp?

‘Naturally, wouldn't the hardest and most precious alloys in the universe, along with main AI cores of unimaginable intelligence, be all gathered at their main base?’

The transcendent vessel and mental medium needed to promote to a Higher God.

There was no need to go out of his way to scour the entire universe to gather those absurd materials.

Because up there in the stratosphere, five of the most expensive and perfect material warehouses in the universe were floating right there.

The basics of such a fight were always to suppress the enemy's spirit by certainly crushing the one who picked the fight first, before getting ganged up on.

Kim Minwoo's pupils burned with chilling purple mana. Without delay, he woke the undead legion sleeping inside his subspace.

“Hey, everyone wake up. We have to go earn our keep.”

Beyond the stratosphere, Zenith Corporation Headquarters, Zenith Tower.

Soaring high against the backdrop of the galaxy's brilliant starlight, this massive mechanical fortress was itself no different from a nation.

Following Chairman Arthur's emergency summons a moment ago, the stellar fleet of hundreds of ships escorting the headquarters hurried their sortie preparations, pouring out the roar of their engines.

“A rat called the Death Lord or whatever ate the Under City? Hmph, we just have to scrape the planet's surface with the fleet's main guns and that's it.”

The fleet commanders belonging to Zenith, waiting for the sortie order, exchanged jokes with arrogant smiles.

There was a reasonable justification for their arrogance. No matter how expensive and strong the elite cyborgs of the Annihilator unit that were sliced away in the Under City were, they could not be compared to the overwhelming weight class and firepower of the space battleships measuring tens to hundreds of meters, capable of baking the planet's surface whole.

Even at the news that the ground forces were annihilated, they blindly believed that it would all be over if they just scraped the planet's surface with the fleet's overwhelming firepower.

However, it did not take a long time for those arrogant smiles to stiffen into fear.

[Warning! Unidentified spatial distortion occurred in the outer sector of Zenith Tower!]

[An unidentified massive mana source has been detected!]

“……What?”

Before the fleet commander's words could even finish, the vacuum space in front of Zenith Tower distorted bizarrely and began to crack wide open jjeok-jjeok. And through those cracks, pitch-black darkness seeped in like smoke.

“Hello?”

A man in a black coat appearing while stepping on the empty air.

The vacuum state of space and the cold of absolute zero? In front of the dense mana of Kim Minwoo, who was already on the verge of his divinity's molting, things like oxygen were not even needed in the first place.

“Wh-what is that?!”

“It's the Death Lord! Entire fleet, fire main guns immediately……!”

It was the moment the fleet commander's scream echoed inside the ship and the muzzles of the massive stellar ships were about to charge red energy in unison.

“What noisy lumps of scrap metal.”

The woman standing next to Kim Minwoo clicked her tongue in annoyance. The one standing in the empty air with her entire body draped in a red protective astral qi that even the vacuum of space could not pierce.

The apex of the Demonic Cult, Heavenly Demon Yoo Honbi.

She drew her demonic sword from her waist seureureung and lightly swung her arm.

The following single strike.

Paaat―!

The overwhelming trajectory of red demonic energy transversely cleaved through outer space.

In the quiet vacuum where not even sound could stretch out. The waist of the massive Zenith ship reaching hundreds of meters was split into two branches far too smoothly, as if butter cut by a hot blade.

Tududuk, kwaaaaang―!

The massive ship, its power reactor shattered in a single strike, caused a soundless explosion and was reduced to space junk.

“Oh my god! The battleship was snapped in two in a single strike!”

“They are monsters! Activate the interception system right now!”

While the Zenith fleet fell into astonishment and their formation collapsed, the purple mana stretching out from Kim Minwoo's fingertips roughly gripped the outer wall of Zenith Tower.

Overwhelming physical strength in a state where divinity was fully drawn up.

The stellar-class super-alloy armor plating, said to not receive a single scratch even from the artillery fire of a space fleet, crumpled like a sheet of paper solely by his grip strength and was hideously torn off like opening a canned food lid.

“Oh, it's really hard. It'll be perfect as promotion material.”

Kim Minwoo shoved the torn-off massive super-alloy outer wall into his subspace and briskly walked into the opened hole.

The heinous prelude to an unprecedented robbery of an empty stratosphere megacorp headquarters to seize the promotion materials for a Higher God.

The inside of Zenith Headquarters became a pandemonium in an instant. The corporation's hallway decorated with highest-grade marble and neon signs turned into a gruesome slaughterhouse in less than 1 minute.

“Intruder discovered! Commencing summary disposal!”

Thousands of Zenith's elite guard cyborgs pouring out from both ends of the hallway fired their plasma guns wildly in unison. However, the red rays were blocked by the shields of the Dragon Tooth Soldiers blocking Kim Minwoo's front and scattered vainly.

“Sweep them away.”

Kwajik! Every time the Dragon Tooth Soldiers' greatswords flashed, the heads of highest-grade cyborgs fetching hundreds of millions of credits rolled down powerlessly.

Paaat! Seogeok!

Every time Yoo Honbi's sword flashed, the hallway was sliced away whole, and in the spots where Kim Minwoo's legion swept past, only scrap metal smelling of oil rolled around.

“M-monsters! Devils have invaded the headquartersaaaaak!”

Screams, explosions, and the rupturing sounds of machinery were dyeing the grand Zenith Tower into a hellscape.

At the same time, the top floor of Zenith Tower.

Chairman Arthur, who was holding a hologram video conference with the remaining 4 megacorp leaders and coordinating the united fleet's sortie schedule, furrowed his brow at the suddenly echoing Level 1 emergency alarm.

“What is this commotion!”

Beolkeok! The door to the executive office burst open, and the blood-drenched Chief of Staff ran in urgently.

“Ch-Chairman! It's a disaster! The outer walls from Sector 1 to Sector 4 have been torn off whole!”

“Wh-what?! What kind of bullshit is that! Our fleet is covering the airspace, so why would the outer walls be torn off!”

“The fleet…… half of the fleet has already been snapped in two in a single strike and annihilated! Th-that rat has already torn through the tower's internal defense lines and is coming up!”

“What did you say?!”

Chairman Arthur let out a scream filled with astonishment while looking at the tower's internal CCTV displayed next to the hologram screen.

He couldn't have even imagined that they would tear through the space defense line in a single breath and infiltrate right into the middle of the main base.

Watching Zenith's state-of-the-art defense lines tearing apart like sheets of paper floor after floor on the screen, Arthur's face turned pale white.

“I-I will evacuate to the underground bunker for now!”

Arthur urgently put his body into the secret elevator on one side of the executive office.

Carrying down even the hologram communication device whole, he locked the 5-meter-thick titanium blast door of the bunker before letting out a rough breath.

“Haa, haa……. Arrogant rat. Daring to carelessly step foot into my tower? He wouldn't be able to follow me all the way to this absolute safe house.”

Arthur's eyes became bloodshot red.

He urgently slammed down the switch under the bunker desk.

Shuuuung―!

The artificial skin covering his old body peeled off, and the combat quantum core, where all of Zenith's over-technology was concentrated, spewed a fierce light.

The Chairman himself was the most powerful ultimate weapon invested with Zenith's massive capital.

The leader of Ares, who was watching the situation beyond the hologram, shouted urgently.

[Arthur! What is happening! Just what is going on at the headquarters?!]

“Hmph. A single rat just bit the trap. The moment that guy strains to open this bunker door, I will blow his head off directly with this combat core…….”

Kwaaaaang―!!!!

It was before Arthur's words could even finish.

The 5-meter-thick titanium blast door of the bunker, said to be unyielding even to a nuclear explosion, crumpled with a terrible roar and flew into the empty air.

“……!”

The bunker's wall itself was torn off whole.

A man walking in fluttering his black coat tail through the acrid dust clouds.

Arthur, stained with astonishment, roared with bloodshot eyes.

“You dare crawl into my kingdom?! Die!”

It was the moment Arthur was about to fire a sure-kill plasma flash that could absolutely not miss, completed through hundreds of millions of calculations per second.

Peoeok―!

“Keo, keoheok……!”

Arthur was astonished.

Because Kim Minwoo's grip, having approached right under his nose as if leaping through space, seized Arthur's sturdy mechanical throat exactly as it was and lifted him up into the empty air.

In front of the overwhelming and primal violence of the Descent state where divinity was fully poured out, even Zenith's state-of-the-art calculations were merely broken toys.

“Keuk, keueuk……!”

Holding Arthur roughly with one hand as he floundered like a frog caught by the neck, Kim Minwoo glanced at the massive hologram communication window floating in the middle of the bunker.

Beyond the screen, the leaders of the remaining 4 megacorps, who had been plotting the formation of the united fleet with Arthur until just now, were watching this side with stiff expressions.

Gulp.

The Adam's apples of the absolute powerhouses dividing and ruling the universe in five fluctuated with fear in unison.

The miserable sight of the old predator, who had been discussing the domination of the universe with them just tens of minutes ago, suspended in the empty air with his neck choked in a single breath without even being able to put up a resistance in his own master bedroom, an absolute safe house.

The leaders beyond the hologram were trembling like aspen trees, all harboring the exact same thought.

‘What the hell is that monster bastard?!’
