The Mad Emperor of Unprecedented Level – Episode 127

The Mad Emperor of Unprecedented Level 127

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Before long, the armies of Golak and Gorgutz clashed in a decisive battle.

As the drums of war echoed from both sides, the champions of each army faced each other, as was the Greenskin tradition.

“Long time no see, Golak. I heard you became a king?”

“Gorgutz, I heard you became a Great Chieftain? Following in my footsteps?”

Without guards or aides, they confronted each other, large axes in hand, engaging in a subtle battle of wills.

Gorgutz challenged Golak, “Did you, a Greenskin, really call yourself a king like a human?” Golak retorted, “The position of Great Chieftain you’ve risen to is something I’ve already surpassed.”

“Let’s cut the pointless chatter. Golak, what are you thinking? Emulating humans? Are you going to abandon the pride of the Greenskins?”

“Ha, what is the pride of the Greenskins, Gorgutz? Is it glorifying meaningless bloodshed every day?”

They glared at each other, their words laced with animosity. Gorgutz was the first to lose his composure.

“That is the essence of the Greenskins! Endless fighting! Endless struggle! A pure warrior race where the strong trample the weak, and the strong are challenged by the strong again!”

Thwack, Clang!

Gorgutz swiftly charged, bringing his axe down on Golak.

Golak skillfully blocked and parried the blow.

“You have corrupted that purity!”

“If that’s purity, then foolish idiocy must also be purity.”

Having parried Gorgutz’s axe, Golak wielded his own with practiced ease, showing that his martial prowess had not diminished at all.

Clang!

“I have merely eliminated the inherent stupidity of the race, Gorgutz. I thought you would understand that!”

“Foolish, that too will become another form of stupidity. Forgetting the true way!”

Gorgutz retorted, though he couldn’t deny that Golak’s changes were, at the very least, efficient.

Golak was also aware of Gorgutz’s concerns.

That they might lose the Greenskin’s belligerence and the unique advantages it granted them.

Golak chuckled, knowing such a possibility existed.

“Gorgutz, then there’s no need for further words.”

Zzzzzzzzzzz-!

An enormous aura and the divine power of a champion began to erupt from Golak’s body.

The power was so immense that the surrounding ground shook, and fragments floated into the air.

“That’s right, Golak. You and I, we’ll decide who is right with strength! That is the Greenskin way!”

Faaaaaaaat!

Gorgutz also unleashed his power and the divinity he had received as an incarnation [a being embodying a deity].

The momentum was even more intense than Golak’s.

“Hahaha! Can you endure it, Golak? I am stronger than you!”

“Don’t get cocky, or you’ll get a bloody nose!”

Although there was a difference in the divinity they could mobilize, Golak was not yet that far behind.

However, as time went on, Golak would be pushed back.

‘Damn it… I really need their help at this rate.’

Golak didn’t want to admit it, but he soon recalled the insurance he had taken out.

Shadow and his companions, and the contingency plan Gobamein was devising.

Facing the Green God directly.

If he couldn’t defeat Gorgutz, hope rested on them.

* * *

“Gorgutz and Golak have begun to clash. The armies are also clashing with each other.”

“It’s time to start. Gobamein, are you ready?”

-Hehehe, I’m always ready. Are you guys ready to face the gods?

“Of course.”

Facing the gods.

In fact, looking back at the enemies we’ve faced so far, only Gobamein had faced a god, strictly speaking.

Gobamein was honestly quite weak for a god, so he had to be considered an exception.

If there was one more, it would be Blackbeard, who was devoured by the abyss god Ktalion, but that wasn’t directly facing a god either.

But strangely, I felt no fear.

“Igrid, what about you? If you’re scared, you can back out now.”

“I’d rather die than be scared.”

“That’s like you.”

Igrid seemed to feel the same way.

She valued facing strong beings, and she trusted me, so that must be it.

-Then I’ll open the portal right away.

Whoaaaaa-

Seeing that Igrid and I were ready, Gobamein opened the portal.

As soon as I stepped through, what I saw beyond was an endless blue plain.

The plain was not just a wide plain, but a concept in itself, and it overwhelmed my soul.

-Welcome to the Green Gods’ Plain!

“This is a unique place. Can you tell me what it’s like?”

The place where the gods believed by the Greenskins walk.

In other words, it was like Mount Olympus in Greek mythology [the home of the Greek gods], but here, nothing but an endless plain could be seen.

But I could feel it.

Because I knew a place with a similar feeling.

-It’s a place created by the gathering of all Greenskins’ mental exaltation.

“Mental exaltation, you mean?”

-Typically, fighting spirit or greed. There are many others. For me, it would be cunning.

“It’s similar to the Empire’s Soul, but different.”

The Empire’s Soul is created by the human desire for the concept of the Empire or beings equivalent to the Empire.

On the other hand, this place was due to more diverse emotions.

It was also a bit different from the Empire’s five guardian gods.

-Originally, there were countless Green Gods, but more than half have been subdued by us now.

“That means the other half are enemies.”

-That’s right. But among them, there are five who will actively oppose us. Namely…

-Gobamein! You rat bastard!

Kuuuuuuuuung!

At that moment, as I was listening to Gobamein’s additional explanation, I heard a roar that shook the earth.

The ground shook, but Igrid and I stood firm.

-Bringing humans into the Green Plain!

-Lasgar! Is that you!

-I’ll tear these guys apart and kill you too!

Uwoooooooo! Kuuung!

Someone spoke to Gobamein with a voice full of anger, and suddenly an ogre appeared from somewhere.

An ogre holding a blood-red giant axe and a giant hammer in each hand.

A powerful divinity was felt from that being. Perhaps he was the one Gobamein called ‘Lasgar’.

“Insignificant humans! I’ll chew you up in one bite!”

Thump thump thump thump!

With an arrogant declaration, he charged straight at us. With each step he took, the ground shook and shattered, befitting his massive physique.

Crackle crackle crackle!

As he charged, Igrid erected a barrier of ice with her frost-cold rune sword.

“Can such ice stop me, Lasgar of Fury!”

Thump! Kwajijijik!

Lasgar shattered the ice barrier in one blow with the giant hammer in his left hand.

But even after breaking the barrier, Igrid and I were not there.

“Lasgar of Fury? You must be too angry to see anything.”

“Really?”

At that moment, Igrid and I had already appeared behind him with Blink [a teleportation spell].

Teleporting others was less mana-efficient for me, who wasn’t well-versed in magic, but I activated ‘Empire’s Soul Stage 1’ to replenish mana with divinity.

Chwararararak! Chwaak!

“Kugh!”

And Silver Rose, transformed into a blade whip, tried to wrap around Lasgar’s neck.

However, Lasgar raised his axe, and instead of his neck, the axe was what the whip wrapped around. But still, the extending blade was able to graze his neck slightly.

Whoosh, Whoooosh!

“T, this is! Fire imbued with divinity… !”

Subsequently, fire ignited on his wounded area.

The flames of purification had bloomed. The cut wound could not be ignored, and with the fire added, it could be said to be quite fatal.

“How dare you do this… Hooo! ”

However, Lasgar put strength into his voice as if his eyes were bloodshot, and healed the wound and extinguished the fire.

He consumed divinity to recover from the wound.

“…You, you’re no ordinary human?”

“What if I am?”

“Insolent. But could it be…”

“That’s right, Lasgar.”

At that time, Gobamein’s voice was heard not as a reverberation in my head, but in reality.

Before I knew it, he was standing behind me in the form of a goblin wearing a black hood.

“They are challengers daring to face you.”

“Humans dare to challenge us?”

“Hey, the human is doing you the honor of challenging you, you impudent bastard.”

When I rebuked Lasgar, he showed anger, but Gobamein cleared his throat and continued.

“You know what etiquette you must have for those who challenge the Green Plain, right? Especially in a situation like this.”

“Hmph, so those guys are your champions?”

“That’s right, Lasgar.”

“Haha! A champion of a guy like you. What a pathetic choice. But I certainly felt divinity from him… Was it yours?”

“Yes.”

Gobamein said without batting an eye.

But part of it was true.

Most of my divinity is the Empire’s Soul, but the first divinity I obtained was stolen from Gobamein.

And it was better for the opponent to misunderstand like that, so I just smiled wryly and said nothing.

“I know what you’re thinking. Is it to support Gorgutz? But do you really think they can defeat us, Gobamein?”

“Think as you please. So, will you accept the challenge? If you’re scared, put out 30% of your divinity according to the rules and get lost.”

“Huhahaha! No way! Good! I’ll accept the challenge! But you know what you have to do too, right? If you lose, you lose all your divinity!”

Lasgar laughed grandly as if mocking Gobamein.

Gobamein looked at him as if he was disgusted, but at a glance, the difference in their divinity was so great that Gobamein could only be intimidated.

In fact, it was somewhat honorable that Gobamein, who had little to lose, was able to make such a challenge.

But that’s how weak Gobamein was.

“Hmph, we’ll see. Then I’ll take it that you’ve accepted the challenge.”

“Wait, we didn’t hear who you were challenging among us.”

“That-”

“I’ll say it.”

I cut off what Gobamein was about to say and started speaking instead.

“Yes, little human. Who will you challenge?”

“All of you.”

“…What?”

He blinked and asked back at my answer.

“I’ll fight all of you. Including the guys who recognized Gorgutz as a champion, all the losers.”

“…You’re going to fight all of them and win? You?”

“Of course. It’s too much of a hassle to go find them one by one. Besides…”

I shrugged and added.

“If I kill them one by one, some guys might run away without accepting the challenge, right? That’s troublesome.”

I’m going to kill them all.
