Chapter 1105
Before Verodun’s strengthened disasters and catastrophes arrived in the Beyond the Heavens Empire.
Many players who opted not to access the game were watching the situation on various broadcasting stations. They watched as the great catastrophes that swept the entire Luvien Empire grew stronger as it crossed the sea and entered the Asgan Continent.
[Everyone from Asgan Continent, please remember not to log in today.]
[Far greater and stronger disasters and catastrophes are heading toward the Alvarra Kingdom.]
[In three minutes, the Alvarra Kingdom will face these disasters.]
[Alvarra Kingdom has been undergoing construction and reinforcement in preparation for the day of disaster.]
The viewers were stunned by the terrible disasters and catastrophes on their screens. There was a monstrous tornado that sucked not only the trees but even the running monsters. The moment this tornado landed in the Asgan Continent, it split into several tornadoes and grew in size.
Bang– Bang, bang–!Lightning flashed in the now-dark sky while the wind howled and the thunder rumbled. Soon, heavy rain fell, and the rivers swelled, their muddy waters threatening to submerge the entire Asgan Continent.
Just like that, the catastrophes reached the Alvarra Kingdom.
[This is crazy.]
[The wind destroyed all the windows, and the entire building started to shake.]
[The statues are collapsing one after another!]
They seemed to have seen the incredible power of nature.
The kingdom’s soldiers ran all over it and struggled to connect the rope in their hands and the building to the ground, but they could only scream as the tornado devoured them. And the mages’ magic? They were helpless in front of the great disaster.
[Fortunately, the disaster passed by the Alvarra Kingdom quickly.]
[However, the Alvarra Kingdom has been flattened and turned into a vast field.]
[Just look at the king’s expression. He looks devastated. They would need at least three months to recover from this.]
[We can see that the disasters’ speed has decreased considerably.]
[What’s funny is that the disasters are increasing in size and strength despite slowing down.]
For some reason, the disasters kept increasing in size even though they had not met unfavorable conditions. This was all because of Verodun. After establishing a bet with Minhyuk, he used most of his powers to increase the size of the disasters. The worst part? Their speed slowed down. This meant that they would stay longer in the Beyond the Heavens Empire.
[Even if the Beyond the Heavens Empire has done all the preparations they could do… huh? Oh. Uhm… Breaking news. The Beyond the Heavens Empire players are now preparing to go to war.]
[Preparing to go to war? Are you saying that Minhyuk is preparing to go to the Luvien Empire at a time like this?]
[No way. No matter how you think about it, that’s completely unbelievable. Nothing would be left of their empire, even if they destroyed the Luvien Empire. Right? Perhaps that’s just some fake news?]
However, contrary to the commentators’ comments, the players continued to send reports. Waves of screenshots showing the troops of the Beyond the Heavens Empire and their players gathering had been released all over the world.
The viewers were all left dumbfounded.
[Minhyuk has probably gone crazy. Lmao. My friend told me they had received orders to stop the strengthening and repairs they had done for the past month.]
[No way. He’s not thinking that this is his only opportunity to bring down the Luvien Empire, right?]
[If that’s what they’re genuinely doing, then the Beyond the Heavens Empire will be destroyed. This is why brats who have never experienced natural disasters should not be left in charge. Lol.]
[Beyond the Heavens’ players, GG.]
[Wow. The disasters have gotten really big.]
[A tornado of that size will definitely annihilate all of the troops of the Beyond the Heavens Empire, right?]
The disasters and catastrophes displayed on their screens were 1.4 times stronger than those that landed in the Alvarra Kingdom. If those things landed on the unprepared Beyond the Heavens Empire, they would surely collapse.
Around fifteen fierce tornadoes were at the forefront of dark clouds carrying sharp lightning, rumbling thunders, and heavy rain. The raging disasters and catastrophes slowly inched towards the walls of the Beyond the Heavens Empire.
At that moment, the camera caught sight of Minhyuk standing on the walls where the Beyond the Heavens Empire troops had gathered. The viewers clicked their tongues as they watched Minhyuk’s hair and clothes flutter from the fierce wind brought about by the coming disasters.
Finally, the leading tornadoes reached the front of the walls of the Beyond the Heavens Empire. The menacing tornadoes looked like they were about to devour everything in their path.
[Aaaaaack! Minhyuk is going to get sucked in!]
[The walls are going to collapse!]
Rumble–!
The strong, fierce winds accompanying the raging tornadoes shook the empire's walls. But soon, something incredible happened. The tornadoes were deflected. They moved in the other direction as if fleeing from the Beyond the Heavens Empire.
[...?]
Everyone was left in doubt. Was the Beyond the Heavens’ luck that good? As the thought flashed in their heads, eighth tornadoes the same size as the first one approached the walls of the Beyond the Heavens Empire. But even these fierce and overwhelming tornadoes took a detour. They took on another path instead of devouring the empire before them.
[W-what?]
At that moment, they saw Minhyuk was not the only one standing at the empire's walls. The camera captured the image of a gorgeous woman. It seemed like the word angel was the only fitting word to describe her beauty. This woman was none other than Aemira.
This time, dark clouds carrying heavy rain, sharp lightning, and rumbling thunder approached the Beyond the Heavens Empire. The rain would submerge all their buildings in water, while the lightning would burn everything in its path.
The woman stretched her hand, which caught everyone's attention. At the same time, an incredible sight unfolded in front of their very eyes. The thunderstorms that threatened to engulf the sky above them, or in other words, the dark clouds carrying heavy rain and sharp lightning, began to change directions. Just like the tornadoes before, they also took a detour from the Beyond the Heavens Empire.
[Wh-what the hell is happening here?]
None of them could understand the shocking scene that was presented to them.
Minhyuk looked arrogantly at the disasters and catastrophes that detoured from the Beyond the Heavens Empire and said, “The angel governing the earth and the sky is with us. There’s nothing to be afraid of.”
Of course, someone like Minhyuk knew how to increase his votes better than anybody else.
“Aemira.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Shwaaaaa–
A pair of wings spread beautifully from the back of the angelic and beautiful woman. One of her wings was pristine white, while the other was the color of the earth.
The commentators, who understood the situation, began to talk,
[N-no way. Are you telling me the Beyond the Heavens Empire has established a friendly relationship with the Heavenly Realm?]
[Absolutely not. Heaven is the most mysterious and shocking land in Athenae.]
[Then, who is that woman? If we take apart Minhyuk’s words, then the reason why all of the disasters and catastrophes had taken a detour from the Beyond the Heavens Empire is all because of the existence of that woman.]
Minhyuk drove the wedge by saying, “It is an honor to have such a reliable and competent vassal like you, Aemira.”
“Please don’t say that. I am honored to serve you, Your Majesty.”
[...!]
[...!]
The entire world was left in shock.
At that moment, the angel, the ruler of the sky and the earth, flapped her wings and flew into the sky. Although she did not have enough power to rival that of the Master of Nature, she could still weaken the disasters coming their way.
Aemira, who flew to the center of the Beyond the Heavens Empire, released a bright and beautiful light that covered the entire empire. The light weakened the raging tornadoes, which seemed to have enough power to engulf everything, and forced some of the dark clouds carrying heavy rain to disappear. This almost halved the strength and intensity of the disasters before going away.
Just like that, the Beyond the Heavens Empire safely endured the disaster.
[Impossible as it might sound, the disasters have grown incredibly weak…]
[With this, the disasters will no longer do much damage to the rest of the fully prepared Asgan Continent.]
[This is unbelievable. Minhyuk has an angel as a part of his vassals. And an angel who can control nature and disasters, too!]
[The number of votes for Minhyuk is increasing at a crazy speed as we speak.]
[Thanks to Minhyuk, the Asgan Continent players are now safe from disasters and catastrophes.]
[Asgan Continent is our country’s server. It is the South Korean Server. Right now, our people ignored the 40% EXP drop penalty and voted for Minhyuk!]
[People worldwide voted for him after he displayed the Beyond the Heavens Empire’s fantastic power!]
But things were not over yet. After the disasters were eliminated, the gates of the Beyond the Heavens Empire opened. Countless cameras focused on Minhyuk as he gave orders to his millions of troops.
With a dignified and majestic voice, Minhyuk said, “Right now, an unprecedented disaster has engulfed the entire world. Many people have been deprived of the precious things they have worked hard to build.”
He was showing the world how an all-out voting campaign was done.
“These people must be suffering. They must feel helpless and distraught in the face of overwhelming disasters and catastrophes. Even though they are not my people…” Minhyuk looked at his soldiers sharply. “I command you as your emperor. All Beyond the Heavens Empire troops will go to all parts of the continent and help the suffering people recover!”
“We have received your order!”
The booming voice of the millions of troops echoed in the area.
The players from all over the world felt devastated that they had to participate in helping their own nation’s recovery. They felt frustrated that they had to do it without being given a choice. In this situation, the Beyond the Heavens Empire sent out its troops and offered to help them.
Once again, Minhyuk’s votes experienced another rapid increase.
[Th-this is crazy!]
[Minhyuk’s votes have gone over 13% in one go!]
[He has become the 5th place in a single breath.]
And finally, the finishing blow.
Minhyuk stood before a middle-aged man with a head full of white hair. Unfortunately, the sound of the Beyond the Heavens’ troops’ advance had drowned out the conversation between the two.
Meanwhile, the commentators recognized the middle-aged man that Minhyuk was talking to.
[Th-that’s Master of Nature Verodun!]
[He’s the bigshot who received most of the votes and stood at the 1st place in the polls!]
[Why is Master of Nature Verodun with Minhyuk?]
Not long after, Minhyuk’s live broadcast was turned on. At the same time, a considerable number of viewers entered and watched the scene from Minhyuk's perspective.
Verodun seemed to be in deep thought and suddenly bowed politely toward Minhyuk. It was even the standard 90-degree bow, like a display of obedience and subservience!
[Wh-what the hell?!]
[Verodun wants to cooperate with Minhyuk?!]
[Impossible!]
The viewers were left stunned. Of course, countless people denied this fact.
At that moment, Minhyuk said, “I see. So, you’re courteous to me because you want to cooperate with me? Alright. I will think about it.”
[Heooooooook!]
[It seems like we guessed right! Verodun is asking for Minhyuk’s cooperation.]
Then, the live broadcast suddenly ended.
Meanwhile, the commentators began to voice out their speculations.
[Looking at his expression and the standard 90-degree bow, I don’t think he is asking for cooperation. It looks more like wanting to have a master-servant relationship, no?]
[Player Minhyuk has made 1st place Master of Nature Verodun act obediently and politely toward himself.]
[But there’s something strange. Master of Nature Verodun is a Pillar Candidate. He’s a genuine powerhouse. There is no reason for him to obey Minhyuk. I think a cooperative relationship is more appropriate for the situation?]
The viewers also had a similar opinion.
[Isn’t it a pity for Verodun to submit to Minhyuk? Lol. It’s pretty apparent that Minhyuk has done something again.]
[Cooperation is possible. But a master-servant relationship is impossible.]
[Guys, wake up. If it were you, would you, as the 1st place in the polls, bow down and obey the one standing in last place?]
Of course, Minhyuk had to take this opportunity to drive the wedge. Their conversation was drowned out by the army's marching and the raging winds from the tornadoes escaping the empire.
[The bet winner, Minhyuk, makes his second wish.]
[His wish is for you to kneel in front of him.]
Thud–
When the viewers’ speculations ran wild, they saw Master of Nature Verodun kneel before Minhyuk. Verodun's face was ugly and angry after he was forced to kneel.
“Th-this is absurd…!”
Minhyuk just grinned. “Absurd? Yes, that’s right. It’s absurd. You entered my empire as you pleased, threatened us with disasters, and demanded that I submit to you.”
“H-hiiiiik…!”
Verdun has nothing to say about that.
Of course, the camera captured Minhyuk and Verodun’s figures as if they held an earnest conversation.
[Heoook! Verodun is kneeling.]
[If- if this is not submitting… then what is it?]
[Minhyuk’s votes are going up like crazy right now!]
[The expectation for Minhyuk, who will probably have Verodun as his subordinate, is very high.]
[Right now, his votes have surpassed 25%.]
[It has gone over 26%... 28%... 30%!]
[M-Minhyuk’s votes are just below Verodun’s votes!]
Verodun could also see Minhyuk’s votes increasing in real-time. This scene left his mouth dry. But then, a notification rang, leaving him in shock.
[The 1st place in the Advanced Polls has been refreshed.]
[Advanced Polls]
Current Voter Turnout: 81.8%
1st place: Pillar of Gourmands Minhyuk. Percentage: 35.9%
2nd place: Master of Nature Verodun. Percentage: 34.1%
3rd place: Pillar of Death Boleyn. Percentage: 25.9%
Verodun’s expression contorted.
Minhyuk laughed at him. Then, he mouthed, ‘Life is a real battle. You piece of shit.’
