Overgeared Chapter 897:


Chapter 897
[The Sword Aiming at the Gods was born after being smelted and forged in Asgard: First World . ]

[The energy of Asgard: First World is released from the Sword Aiming at the Gods . ]

[Golden clouds have appeared!]

[The golden clouds will be the bridge between you and Asgard: First World . ]



“ . . . !”

The golden clouds that descended from the sky were layered like stairs . It felt like they were telling Grid to step on them and climb into the sky .

“Oh . . . ! Ohh?!”

“A bridge to the goddess . . . !”

The Rebecca members were fascinated . The elders were frightened of Grid while being captivated by the golden clouds . Heaven existed! The golden clouds of stairs proved there was meaning in their lifelong faith and infinite worship in all those who served a **** .



[The appearance of the golden clouds has amplified the morale of all those who serve the gods . During the three minute summoning time of the golden clouds, all those who serve a **** will have their attack and defense increased by 10% . ]

[Everyone who doesn’t serve a **** will feel terrified by the golden clouds . During the three minute summoning time of the golden clouds, their attack and defense will decrease by 10% . ]

[You serve multiple gods, so your attack power and defense have increased by 10% . ]



“Ah . . . ” Grid sighed .

Those who served a **** and those who didn’t…

After dividing humanity into these two types, the power of the golden clouds, which generated a global buff and debuff, turned out to be below Grid’s expectations . Grid had hoped that the golden clouds were a powerful wide area attack skill like the black flames explosion .

Yet what was this wide area debuff and buff? The buffs and debuffs didn’t even distinguish between friend and foe . Right now, the Overgeared members had visited the Hexetia Temple and had the status of serving Hexetia . Then what about other players? Grid speculated that many players had already joined a religion . It meant that people could receive the golden clouds buff even if they didn’t have a class like a paladin or priest .

‘If these clouds are summoned in the middle of a battlefield . . . ’

The war situation might significantly tilt depending on how many soldiers had joined a religion . Just looking at the Saharan Empire, the Rebecca Church was a state religion .

‘It is a complete mess . . . No, at least I will receive minimal damage if I have all my people serve the Hexetia Temple . . . ’

In any case, it was below expectations . The golden clouds weren’t very appealing to Grid who had been able to gain an overwhelming power after the Astaroth raid . Then something happened . It was as if his disappointment was noticed .



[The baby angels at the other end of the golden clouds touching the highest heaven are reaching out . The angels have a great interest in the ground . However, they can’t come down to the ground because they know the summoning time of the golden clouds is short . ]

[The linked skill of the golden clouds, Angel’s Aria, has failed to activate . ]



“ . . . ??”

‘Angel’s Aria?’ Grid’s disappointment quickly disappeared as he recalled the young angels he had met in the world of the gods . He felt anticipation now that he knew the golden clouds could be a platform for a special skill, not just buffs and debuffs .

On the other hand . . .

“ . . . ” Damian was overcome with pained frustration as he lay on the ground . What was defeat? It was denying his own efforts and value . Damian admired and respected Grid more than anyone else, but this was separate from losing . He felt ashamed and humiliated at being defeated every time he competed with Grid .

‘Putting my pride aside, it is a real problem . This is why Grid is disappointed with me . ’

Damian had grown as time passed, but he still seemed weak . He felt like he disappointed Grid and was anxious, despite being the pope . Damian wanted to prove his worth . He wanted to prove his past efforts . Yes, time was equal to everyone . Just as Grid went through all types of incidents after the 3rd National Competition, Damian was the same . He shouldn’t be defeated in such a manner . Damian raised his body that had been burned with lightning . He didn’t rely heavily on the 10% increase in attack and defense that appeared thanks to Grid’s golden clouds as he knew that Grid was likely to have received a similar buff .

“Goddess’ Breath . ” A light surrounded Damian, and his health was restored to 100% .

Grid saw his fighting spirit and looked surprised . “Do you still want to continue?”

Damian hadn’t wanted this duel from the beginning . Thinking he would lose, he had started the fight with a dejected spirit . Grid had been somewhat disappointed with that . Where had the old Damian gone? This was the man who fought against the corrupted Pope Drevigo, the farmer Piaro, and the sky above the sky Kraugel . His conviction had never dampened .

However, Damian had changed little by little after becoming pope . He had worried over the status of a pope more than his own beliefs and gradually bowed his courage under the pretext that it was for the church . It was the same for this spar . A few years ago, Damian would have been happy just sparring, but now he was only crying . He had the attitude of not wanting to be embarrassed in front of his beloved Isabel but showed no fighting spirit to overcome Grid .

Unlike Grid, Damian had gotten weak . Grid was bound to think of Damian like this and felt many complicated emotions . Damian’s change, which could be evaluated as maturing in some way, was bittersweet and painful . Yet at this moment . . .

“I will continue . It might be one-sided, but it is problem if Grid doesn’t feel any fun . ” Damian was regaining his old self . He threw off the cumbersome white clothing that symbolized a pope .

“Your Holiness!” The elders frowned and rebuked him . They didn’t like Damian’s behavior of casting aside the pope’s clothing in front of the congregation . The usual Damian would’ve scratched his head and laughed awkwardly . Instead, he said, “It is uncomfortable . I can’t fight while wearing it . What am I supposed to do when the fabric catches on armor every time I move?”

“ . . . ”

“Please respect the fact that unlike other popes, I am a paladin and not a priest . ”

“ . . . ”

“Didn’t the first pope fight in armor instead of clothing when sealing Marie Rose?”

He felt good as he watched the elders close their mouths . Then he pointed his sword at Grid . Damian still had 1 minute and 10 seconds left on his buffs .

“I am going to use all my power . ”

This time, he didn’t pay attention to the eyes of the church’s members and Isabel . Damian would fight for himself . He would also discard the pope’s dignity . Reading Damian’s determination, Grid laughed . “Okay . Come, Damian . ”

Then he quickly pulled four hammers out of his inventory . They were the Mjolnirs which could cause a target to become stiff . Of course, the Ultimate Enhanced Mjolnir was included . Grid was curious . Was it possible for the God Hands made by the Sword Aiming at the Gods to wear equipment?

‘Indeed?’

Grid’s new God Hands were able to wear equipment . If equipment couldn’t be worn, they would be too lacking in comparison to the old God Hands . The semi-translucent God Hands grabbed the Mjolnirs from Grid, meaning that equipment could definitely be worn .

‘Good!’

The pulling device was used . The Blade Aiming at the Gods fell off and was replaced by the Enlightenment Blade . Grid equipped himself with the flaming black sword, while the God Hands and Blade Aiming at the Gods moved around him .

‘If I make good use of defense magic, I have a chance to counterattack . ’ Damian tried not to be daunted by the fraudulent abilities Grid was displaying .

The God Hands rushed toward Damian . Damian was aware he would be defeated if he allowed even one hit from the hammer, so he summoned a number of small light shields in the air to neutralize the God Hands as much as possible . The Blade Aiming at the Gods was blown away . Damian wouldn’t allow himself to be hit by the same move again . He showed a gap as he twisted his hips and swung his sword .

“Drop . ” Grid used the skill that had the shortest activation time among Pagma’s Swordsmanship . He didn’t take it easy . In order to show his respect to Damian, Grid would fight seriously . This was his power . Damian blocked it with a huge square shield . It was as if he expected Grid to attack, so he used the shield to block Drop without even moving his eyes .



[The Square Divine Light Shield has absorbed the powerful shock!]

[The durability of the Square Divine Light Shield has decreased by 67 . ]

[Your left hand holding a shield has been paralyzed temporarily . ]

[You have overcome the paralysis with your high status resistance . ]



“Kuk . . . !”

As expected, a scam was a scam . The durability of the shield designed for defense had been reduced by two digits, making it questionable if the shield was doing its job properly . A flash of light emerged from the small magic circle above Damian’s shoulder after countering Grid’s offensive . The flashes struck the God Hands and the Blade Aiming at the Gods continuously, making the God Hands stiffen .

On the other hand, the Blade Aiming at the Gods moved smoothly and cut Damian, interrupting the illusion that Damian was in a 1 vs 1 match instead of a 1 vs 2 match . There was a bigger problem .

“100,000 Army Massacre Sword . ”

Damian was a powerhouse, but this was his mistake . As the years passed by, the gap between Damian and Grid hadn’t narrowed . The reason wasn’t because his efforts were lacking or because he had the wrong mindset . The problem was that Grid was the Hero King . As Damian became stronger, he stimulated Grid’s fighting energy to a greater extent . Grid was able to accumulate fighting energy faster because of Damian’s strength .



[The Square Divine Light Shield has absorbed the powerful shock!]

[The durability of the Square Divine Light Shield has decreased by 35 . ]

[The durability of the Square Divine Light Shield has decreased by 31 . ]

[The durability of the Square Divine Light Shield has decreased by 39 . ]

[The durability of the Square Divine Light Shield has decreased by 20 . ]

[The durability of the Square Divine Light Shield has decreased . . . ]

[Warning! The durability of the Square Divine Light Shield has reached its limit!]



Grid unleashed an onslaught without stopping .



[The Square Divine Light Shield has been destroyed!]



The huge square shield which had protected Damian from numerous threats so far cracked and then turned to gray .

“Nani?! Pope’s Charity! Goddess’ Protection!” Damian tried simultaneously casting a healing skill and a shield skill .

“Linked Kill . ” Grid’s powerful attack dealt a critical blow to Damian who had just lost his shield . Damian’s health fell down to 1 point, and his defeat in the spar was announced .

“Pant . . . Pant . . . Pant . . . !” Damian’s face became shadowed as he was injured . He felt ashamed because of his terrible defeat and wondered if he was qualified to be Grid’s colleague . At that moment . . .



[You have heard Goddess Rebecca’s warm voice . ]



-You, my agent, need to become stronger .

Damian’s unique class of Goddess’ Agent encountered a change .



[The goddess of light is the pinnacle of all gods and thinks that you, as the Goddess’ Agent, also needs to be at the pinnacle . ]

[The goddess has witnessed your many defeats against the same opponent and feels terrible enough to make a trial . ]

[The class quest ‘To Truly become the Goddess’ Agent . . . ’ has been created . ]

“Ah?”

What conditions had he met unknowingly? It might not be Grid’s intention, but shouldn’t Damian be thankful to Grid?

“Good job . It was really fun to fight against you . ”

“ . . . ”

Damian finally looked up from where he had been sitting without grabbing Grid’s outstretched hand . He saw Grid with the sun behind him . There wasn’t pity but pride in Grid’s eyes as he looked at Damian . He had beat Damian easily, but Grid acknowledged Damian instead of ignoring or being disappointed in him .

Damian’s grip on the grass strengthened . Grid looked like a person who had fallen from the sky . Every time, this person was a great help to Damian . Grid was like a person who only existed for him .

“You . . . You truly . . . ” Damian couldn’t explain this feeling . He was unable to endure the surging emotions, and his eyes reddened .

‘Crying all of a sudden?’ Grid was at a loss for words as tears filled the eyes of the beautiful young man . “W-What is it? Ah, I’m sorry . I will naturally reimburse you for the shield . I will make a far better shield . So, please calm down . . . ” Grid couldn’t finish speaking .

Damian suddenly stood up and hugged him tightly . It was a hug from a pretty man . . .

“W-What?” Feeling uncomfortable, Grid tried to push Damian off .

Still, Damian clung to him like a leech . “Daisuki! Grid-sama aishiteru!!”

“L-Let go!”

To think that Damian was confessing his love while hugging Grid . . . as hundreds of Rebecca followers watched, including players . . . ? Grid felt bitter . He was seriously worried that Damian was deliberately messing with him due to the loss of the shield .

That evening . . .

[Pope Damian’s confession of love to the Overgeared King!]

[Damian’s worship of Grid originated from private feelings . . . ?]

Media outlets around the world started to release unpleasant articles . In particular, the women’s magazines which enjoyed gossip featured these articles . Grid was an undisputed world star as every move he made was turned into a story . He was the best star who had been popular ever since he appeared in public!

It’s just that . . .

“Dammit . How annoying . ” Grid himself felt very uncomfortable . The number of members in the Grid Anti-Fans Cafe was skyrocketing due to the rumors that he was a garbage **** .

‘Well, whatever . I was able to figure out various things from the spar with Damian, so it isn’t a loss . ’

Grid decided to hold off on disposing of the hammer and Blade Aiming at the Gods for the time being . It was difficult to abandon the exponential rise in production ability, and the versatility of the blade wasn’t that lacking compared to the God Hands . He had another problem to worry about in the future .

“How can I secure more pavranium?”

It was clear that the more pavranium he obtained, the stronger he could become . Was there a way to gain more pavranium?

“ . . . Ah?” Grid suddenly thought of his clone in **** .
