How did Hanho, who had a one-star job and had no Awakening, obtain the deity status?
In fact, it was very simple.
âWow! So far Iâve never made any mistakes in my investment!â
Deity status meant bringing out the power of a god, so anybody who wanted it had to satisfy the certain âtraitsâ of the specific god.
And one could obtain it only when one gathered various âconditionsâ related to the traits of the god like Sungwoo and Jisu. It was as difficult as solving a puzzle. Besides, one should have a bit of good luck. Because of that, gathering the âconditionsâ was possible through a kind of âhidden channel.â
Surprisingly, that was the case with Hanho.
- Congratulations! You have met the conditions for obtaining the âregular deityâ.
* Individual shield value exceeds 200,000 (Master of Defense)
Like this, one needed to achieve something ultimate to meet the condition for the âregular deity.â
âBy the way, when did my shield value go up so high? Oh, I see! Because I was holding this shield!â
Hanhoâs current shield value was 225,000, which was even higher than the âShadow of the Divine Treeâ, the invisible barrier of the World Tree camp.
A shield that was enormous enough to safely encircle a vast area was compressed around only one person, namely Hanho.
âOh my God! I really didnât know my shield value went up like this.â
Even Hanho himself was puzzled.
âWell, no matter who said it, I think I have made a wise decision on whatever I did.â
Basically, Hanho liked all kinds of items, but he was also so single-minded as to choose something based on the criteria of âcool.â The main reason was that he tended to choose only those that looked âcoolâ among the items.
In that regard, Hanho thought that his shield was pretty cool when he obtained it, so whenever he leveled up, he tried to raise the skills related to the shield.
Thatâs how he obtained the current shield.

In addition, Hanho obtained an overwhelming shield value by wearing items with numerous defensive effects, such as the Bodyguard Spirit, Achillesâ Shield, and Aegis.
Above all, he was holding as many as five shields, so it was natural that their effects were maximized, which led him to obtain the deity status.
- You have gained the power of the northern god âHyunmuâ. (regular deity)
* Every time you exercise deity status, you will turn into a demigod.
* All stats are greatly increased. (+10)
* You can use the skill [Absolute Defense (Artisan)].
* You can use the skill [Shadow Zone (Artisan)].
* You can use the skill [Incarnation (Artisan)].
âHyunmuâ is described as the item with the strongest defense power and yin energy in oriental fantasy. In other words, Hanho had to reach the ultimate level of defense power or yin energy in order to obtain the deity of Hyunmu.
âWow! This is the ultimate of coolness!â
Hanho couldnât help but turn up one corner of his mouth. He was all smiles now.
âHey, why donât you try to attack me again?â
A while ago, the Emperor, feeling the birth of Hanhoâs deity status, mobilized all firepower to attack him, but Hanho absorbed and bounced back all his attacks through âAbsolute Defenseâ skill. As a result, the Oppressedâs Hands were bounced out of the rampart by a powerful beam of light, something that the Emperor never expected.
But that was just the beginning of Hanhoâs counterattack.
- Caution! âIncarnation (Hyunmu)â has begun in the affected area.
When this message spread throughout the area, black and green glows began to appear behind Hanhoâs back, then changed into something very quickly.
Woo woo woo-
The first thing that appeared was a huge shell, which was the size of a house. It was none other than a turtle. But whatâs strange about the turtle was that he didnât have one head.
Tsutsutsutsu-
Another head emerged from his shell, which was the head of a giant snake. In other words, the turtleâs tail was a snake.
âAs expected, itâs really cool!â Hanho shouted in excitement.
Hyunmu was described as a mysterious creature mixed with a turtle and a snake and four long legs. Thatâs why Hanho liked it so much.
Hanho stepped out of the shadow of the gigantic creature and looked up at the Oppressorâs Hands.
âMan, I didnât know I would be such an eloquent speaker!â
When Hanho raised the five shields at once, the âIncarnation of Hyunmuâ appeared behind him and raised his body.
âYou canât pass here, greenhorn!â
Of course, Hanhoâs words didnât look cool or important because it was clear that nobody could cross that area easily. But the thing was Hanho was buying time while blocking the Emperorâs attack through the Oppressorâs Hands.
As a matter of fact, while Hanho was dragging his feet like that, the Necromancer was actively moving to deal a fatal blow to the Emperor, as Jisu expected.
The Necromancer was planning to devastate the enemy instead of making this fight something like a battle of strength.
***
Sungwoo stood far away In the rear of the battlefield while controlling the undead army.
Although they pushed very hard, the Emperorâs terracotta army as well as the âSpear Unitâ of the Chinese army, totaling more than 100,000, didnât collapse easily.
Sungwoo looked at Li Wei.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âEven Liweiâs water spirits canât help muchâ¦â
By manipulating the large pool of water on the ground, she created huge waves. When she first generated the waves, they were big enough to engulf everything, but when they got close to the enemy camp, they became remarkably small, so they could not deal any destructive blow to the enemy troops.
âDamn it!â Li Wei shouted in frustration.
Although the waves were a powerful attack comparable to that of a disaster, it was hard for them to sweep away the army of players with various occupations without any additional reinforcement.
âThey really canât get close to the enemy!â
It was because of the magic unit of the Chinese army that blocked the waves. They stopped the waves by casting the âcontrol magicâ that could neutralize water spirits, or âwind magicâ or âice magicâ that could neutralize the waves themselves.
âHold out a little longer! All you have to do is distract the Emperor!â Sungwoo said calmly.
In fact, Sungwoo originally had no intention of defeating the Emperorâs huge army.
He raised his head and looked up at the sky. The sky here was relatively clear because Zi Xuan pulled down all the clouds.
âItâs coming.â
Something appeared in the light clouds in the sky. Then it began to descend towards Sungwoo fast.
Beeeeeee-
It was the eagleâs voice, namely, Griffin.
âNecromancer!â
Hyeon and Griffin were coming toward him at his request.
âIâve brought it!â
Using the radio item Sungwoo had requested her to communicate with the allies at the rampart to bring a certain item urgently.
As a result, Heyon, the âGriffin Riderâ with the best mobility, delivered the item.
Sungwoo accepted the item.
âOkay, letâs get started.â
He finally obtained the hidden item.
