Chapter 40: 39

[Kill the Pope!!!!!!!]

“Pardon the intrusion!”

Kicking down the huge doors, I entered the castle.

I could see no guards around, but ahead of the red carpet was Pope Gregorion, sitting on a throne pompously.

He narrowed his eyes in disgust when he saw me, “Hmph… I never thought my first guest would be a villain like you.”

Perhaps it was the effect of ‘King of Evil’? Gregorion’s cheeks were dripping with sweat.

In other words, the system judged him as a justice-dispositioned NPC. But he was a bastard who believed all monsters were evil just by being alive, even if they were familiars—how incorrigible. After all, my and the devs’ sense of values didn’t match.

I told Seele and the rest standing behind me, “Sorry, but can you guys surround the castle? He’s alone, so I’ll settle this by myself. I’m not a fan of ganging up on my opponent.”

“Ugugu, those words grate on my ears… but okay. We’ll leave him to you, Lord Demon King.”

Seele, whose red hair fluttered in the wind, and the Summoners looked at me with trust in their eyes. I nodded back in response.

Alright, now this was gonna be a 1v1 between men. I walked straight toward Gregorion.

“Now let’s fight, Your Holiness. Once I take you down, I’m gonna turn this city into a sanctuary for Summoners.”

“Hmph, what a load of nonsense. With Ymir-sama’s divine protection in place, the life force cannot be reduced by any method other than execution in the city.”

“Ymir-sama’s divine protection? …Ahh, you mean the devs’ protection system.

“But in that case, I just have to kick you flying out of the city and kill you there, right? That divine protection whatchamacallit is quite loose, huh?”

After I said that, Gregorion’s expression suddenly changed. His face reddened and he rose from his throne.

“How dare you disparage God?! Very well… with the power granted unto me by God, the superior being, I will deliver divine punishment upon you!!!!!” The moment he roared, a red light filled the room and the doors closed, blocking my escape.

In addition, several message windows popped up in the air before me, alerting me with warning sounds.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

・Player: Yuri has broken into an important place without permission. An important event-related NPC: Gregorion is in danger.

Hence, the emergency protection system will be activated.

The special area traits: Indestructible and Inescapable, are applied to the surrounding area, and system protection: HP Lock, is disabled, it is now possible to reduce HP in the city.

In addition, all of Gregorion’s stats will be raised to 999999999, and he will be granted invincibility. He will not take damage from players and monsters, nor will he be afflicted by status ailments.

Additionally, the player is sentenced to 10 death sentences. When their HP becomes zero, their level will be reduced by 10. Player: Yuri has a cumulative total of 10,326 death sentences.

This area will remain locked until the player dies. Death is the only way out of here. Please just give up and let yourself be killed.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

“Guhahahahahahahaha! Behold, this is God’s power!!!”

Receiving absolute divine protection, Gregorion’s appearance began to change.

His body enlarged as if it had been thermally expanded, and his pure white cassock burst open.

It exposed reddened ogrelike muscles. In addition, he had grown many times taller before I knew it. He looked down at me with an appearance more monstrously than even monsters themselves. I couldn’t help but laugh.

“Haha… not bad, devs. You’ve placed crazy protection measures on important NPCs so that they can’t be abducted outside the city, huh? Now, what should I do, I wonder~…”

“Ha! What should you do? There is nothing you can do, female! Receive my divine punishment blow and vomit blood from your beautiful lips!!!”

At that moment, Gregorion’s fist shot toward me at supersonic speed!

There was no way someone with zero stats except Luck like me could block an attack backed by over 900 million stats.

“Gaha?!”

Just like he said, I vomited blood as I was sent flying!

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

‘Tenacity’ activates! You survive with 1 HP from a fatal wound!

Condition: ‘Withstand an attack with over 10,000 damage’ cleared!

You have acquired the skill, ‘Warrior Body’!”

‘Warrior Body’: Halves collision damage when sent flying.

Condition: ‘Take more than 5,000,000 total damage’ cleared!

‘Warrior Body’ has evolved into ‘Demon Body’!

‘Demon Body’: Halves collision damage when falls from heights or is sent flying.

Condition: ‘Take more than 500,000,000 total damage’ cleared!

‘Demon Body’ has evolved into ‘Demon King Body’

‘Demon King Body’: Nullify collision damage when falls from heights or is sent flying.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

I crashed into the wall, causing a huge bursting sound, but I received no damage.

It was a blessing in disguise. Thanks to Gregorion’s crazy offensive power set by the devs, I acquired ‘Demon King Body’, saving me.

A cumulative total of over 500 million damage… I normally wouldn’t have been to get this skill without playing the game for months.

“But even if I hadn’t acquired this skill, I could still survive if I used my ‘trump card’…”

Okay, this wasn’t the time to be happy with the unexpected power-up. When I saw Gregorion’s figure turned blurry, I immediately thrust my fist in front of me.

At that moment, my fist collided with his overgrown fist.

“What?!”

“‘God-Slaying Fist’, ‘Demon King’s Surge’ activate!”

Regardless of how powerful an enemy might be, skills still worked on them. Gregorion, who had turned into a muscle giant, was blown back and only managed to regain his footing after sliding back on all fours for several meters.

“Tch… why are you not giving up?! Ymir-sama has bestowed upon me her divine protection! You cannot hurt me, nor can you leave this place! You are finished!”

“Idiot. As long as you don’t give up, there’s always a chance to turn the tables, that’s how the world works. Besides, I have a way to safely escape this place, I’ve just been wondering how to kill you.”

“What?! You’re lying!”

“I’m not. …By paying a certain amount of money, a criminal can receive a blessing from God, which is, ‘the right to teleport to the entrance of the city’. Though I beat the guard without choosing it.”

“Huh?! But if you have refused it, that means you can’t use it anymore! Enough, just drop dead already!!!”

Gregorion was about to attack me again. But I had no reason to play along with him anymore.

Why? Because I had already come up with a way to kill him, that was why.

“Don’t get me wrong, Gregorion. I didn’t refuse it, I just didn’t choose it.”

“W-what?! …T-that means…”

“Yup, I can still use God’s blessing! Without further ado, tactical retreat~!”

Just before he was able to kill me, I tapped the [Would you like to teleport] message at the edge of my field of vision

In an instant, my vision was filled with light, and by the time it receded, I found myself standing at the entrance of the city.

I held my stomach and burst out laughing. “Ahahahaha! Ah, I’m glad I saved it. And that’s another hole in the system found.

“Now… it’s payback time. I’m gonna finish this, Gregorion.”

In response to my fighting spirit, a huge magic formation appeared under my feet.

From it emerged a gigantic plant dragon with a total length of more than 100 meters and numerous ivies growing out of its body!!!

“Let’s go, Gigataro! Burn down that God’s servant!”

“Gugaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!” The Gigantic Dragon Plant, my strongest familiar, roared!

As the residents of Helheim stared at his majestic figure in shock, Gigataro made seven huge flowers bloom on his back, converged the moonlight over each of them, then fired them toward the castle!

“Eat this, Pope! ‘Genocide Seven Lasers’!”

The shining light of destruction landed on the castle of God that had been turned into a special area by the system and dyed it burning red.

The light likely entered the interior as well, and the people inside shouldn’t be safe.

However.

[Fuhahahahahahahahaha! You fool!!! With God’s divine protection, not only you players can’t injure me, monsters can’t, either! Then again, my defense power has been strengthened to the limit, this light wouldn’t have been as warm as the sunlight to me even!] Gregorion’s voice echoed from inside the castle. What? Did his voice grow louder as his body grew bigger? Great. That meant I’d be able to hear his death throes.

In response to my expectations, Pope Gregorion’s laughter gradually faded away, only to be replaced by a scream.

[H-hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooot?! W-what is going on?! How is this happening?! I-I have been blessed with invincibility by Ymir-sama!]

“You probably can’t hear me, but I’ll tell you the answer, anyway. Gigataro’s laser attacks have the effect of turning the area they hit into a ‘Scorching Zone’.

“Yeah, you may not take damage from players and monsters, but I just have to kill you with terrain damage, then!”

[Ugyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?!] Gregorion screamed. This was how you defeat a monster that had been buffed to over 900 million in all stats.

Even if his Defense was maxed out, Scorching Zone had the effect of inflicting ‘fixed damage’.

It dealt damage equal to 1% of max HP per second if my memory served me right. That was to say, he would die in 100 seconds regardless of how much HP he had.

But there was no way I’d let him suffer for that long. Being a merciful man, I would send him off to his God as quickly as possible.

I jumped off Gigataro, who then disappeared because his time was up, and summoned a boss monster midair.

“Come forth, Chuntaro!”

“Pigyaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

The next familiar I summoned was the ‘Vanishing Firebird’.

After he had been nearly killed by the baldhead, he had clung to me like a chick, chirping all the while, but now he seemed to have completely recovered.

Spreading his burning wings, he carried me above the castle. Around the castle, Seele and the others were energetically waving at me.

“Guys, back away~! I’m gonna burn the Pope to death~! Now, Chuntaro, start bombing!!!”

In response to my order, Chuntaro shot countless fireballs from his wings!

The castle burned even more furiously, and its color eventually turned reddish black like lava.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

・Over 300% fire damage! ‘Scorching Zone’ has deteriorated to ‘Hellfire Zone’!

Inflicts damage equal to 5% of max HP per second!

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

[Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?!] Gregorion’s scream became even more intense. But this was a man-to-man fight to see whose ‘justice’ was right, so it’d be rude of me to hold back here!

I activated ‘Arms Barrier’ and stabbed the castle with fire-element swords that inflicted ‘Conflagrate’. Because of it, the castle began to shine white like the sun.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

・Over 500% fire damage! ‘Hellfire Zone’ has ultra-deteriorated to ‘Purifying Zone’!

Inflicts damage equal to 20% of max HP per second!

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, it’s hot, hot, hot, hot, hooooooooot?! I-I’m begging youuuuuuuuu! Get me out of hereeeeeeeee?!]

“Sorry, Gregorion, I can’t do that even if I want to. I mean, that area will remain locked until I die, right? So, if you want to resent someone, resent the devs—I mean, resent your ‘God’!”

[Nooooooooooooo?! Y-Ymir-samaaaaaaaaa! Please get me out of here… get me the hell out of here dammiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!]

Gregorion screamed out his anger toward his God. Those became his last words.

A huge message window popped up in the sky above Helheim at the same time as the sound of an egg exploding in the microwave resounded.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

・An unexpected situation has occurred in the Holy City Helheim! Pope Gregorian, an extremely important NPC related to future events, has died!

The cause was determined to be terrain damage. It has been concluded that the ringleader is Player: Yuri!

Reporting to the developer team, reporting, reporting… no response. Hence, the bug-fixing AI ‘Pendragon’ will now start judging.

Judgment – no problem. There is no evidence that the system has been tampered with. Everything is working within the specifications of the system.

In addition, since Yuri has won the battle against the lord NPC, all land rights in the territory ‘Helheim’ will be transferred to Yuri.

We apologize for the inconvenience. Player: Yuri, please continue playing the game with peace of mind.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

“~~~~~~~, we did iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit! Summoners, from today onwards, this city is ours!”

[Uoooooooooooooooooooooo! Long live Lord Demon King! Long live Yuri-samaaaaaaa!] My comrades-in-arms shouted joyously. Thanks to this victory, their favorability of me continued to rise to 100, 200, and 300, and didn’t stop.

And so, together with my large number of new underlings, I succeeded in taking over the city.

I couldn’t wait for the guild war five days later!
