The God's Games

Of course, Kim Jung-hyun also understood why Hanjun was so busy.

<<God's War Online>> was currently at a critical point in the storyline, and Hanjun was undoubtedly monitoring the game closely.

Kim Jung-hyun could sympathize with that.

As for the G.I.S.A.'s invitation, he couldn't outright decline it.

All he could do was stall for time while urgently trying to contact Hanjun.

So, what was Hanjun doing right now?

In this world without sun or moon, a calm stillness prevailed, with nothing existing—no signs of life.

At times, thunder and lightning crashed around them; at other moments, they found themselves submerged in the depths of the ocean, feeling the immense pressure.

The next second, they appeared atop a glacier, where countless ice pillars rained down from above.

Ultimately, they stopped relying on natural forces and engaged in a fierce clash of powers, causing the skies to darken.

All their might converged in that moment, and if anyone had been nearby, they would have been utterly obliterated by such overwhelming force.

Hanjun and Hanbin exchanged blows in this small world, neither gaining the upper hand.

Thanks to months of effort, Hanjun had finally tapped the faith energy to restore his divine strength.

They were born at the same time, so their abilities were naturally on par with one another.

Moreover, in this small world, neither needed to worry about collateral damage, allowing them to fight freely.

After catching their breath, they teleported to another location, transforming into a white light and a black light, darting through the sky, ground, and seabed like beams of light, neither yielding to the other.

The entire small world lay in ruins, almost as if it had been set ablaze, yet they still hadn't determined a victor.

When they finally stopped, they faced each other for a moment before bursting into laughter.

Hanjun brushed a lock of his curly hair aside and said, "It feels like it's been ages since we had such an exhilarating fight."

Back when they hadn't yet created those species, they'd fought daily, but soon realized it was incredibly dull.

Thus, they decided to make some changes.

They hadn't experienced such a thrilling battle since then, and looking back, Hanjun thought that if Hanbin had just taken a swing at him back then, perhaps the conflicts of that era could have been avoided.

Both of them caught their breath, and Hanbin asked earnestly, "Shall we continue?"

Hanjun sighed, placing his hands on his hips and waving dismissively, "No more fighting, let's call it a day."

Hanbin frowned. "Why? Are you saying the bet doesn't count anymore?"

Hanjun replied, "Of course, the bet still counts, but the bet specifically states that it's humanity winning that matters. The outcome between the two of us isn't the key."

Hanbin's frown deepened at the mention of humanity. "Even now, you still have faith in them?"

Hanjun casually said, "Why wouldn't I trust them? Mark my words, when we go out there, humanity will have gained the upper hand in this battle."

Hanbin wasn't convinced.

He thought Hanjun was exaggerating.

He knew the strength of the demon race and had a pretty good understanding of humanity's situation.

He didn't believe the battle between humans and demons could be decided so quickly.

In his view, even if the demons didn't win a sweeping victory, they should at least be dominating the battlefield, slowly wearing humanity down.

But Hanjun made it sound completely different.

Seeing Hanbin's skepticism, Hanjun asked, "Why don't we go see for ourselves?"

Confident, Hanbin didn't refuse, and the two gods temporarily ceased their battle and quietly returned to the skies above Ulon City.

The scene they witnessed was exactly as Hanjun had predicted. Read the latest on empire

The demon forces were suddenly being beaten back, retreating step by step, while the humans were growing more and more courageous, nearly turning the tide of the battle into a one-sided affair.

Hanbin frowned. "How did it come to this?"

Hanjun glanced at him, already knowing what was going through Hanbin's mind.

He felt proud of the people he believed in.

Seeing Hanbin's disbelief, Hanjun spoke up, "So, what do you think? Looks like I won the bet, didn't I?"

Hanbin quickly regained his composure. "As expected of you."

If Hanbin still wanted to argue, Hanjun would have shattered his illusions without hesitation.

However, when Hanbin complimented Hanjun, it made Hanjun feel a little embarrassed.

It had to be said, Hanbin's "brother complex" was pretty strong, but because of that, Hanjun didn't press the matter further.

Hanbin said, "But what does this prove? Are they truly worth saving?"

Hanjun knew how stubborn Hanbin could be, so he replied, "In that case, why don't you ask them directly?"

Hanbin had always been prejudiced against humans, believing they weren't worth Hanjun's effort, nor worth saving.

Hanjun also understood that Hanbin thought he was always biased toward humanity, constantly defending them.

So this time, Hanjun decided to let Hanbin interact with humans directly, allowing him to form his own opinion.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Hanbin had no reason to refuse.

Raising his head proudly, he said, "Let's see what answers they'll give me."

Meanwhile, under the relentless assault of the players, the demon forces were rapidly retreating.

Just as the players were preparing to press their advantage, a strange color appeared in the sky.

They had seen this phenomenon before—it was a sign of the God of Light and God of Darkness manifesting.

Everyone stopped, curious to see what the God of Darkness intended to do next.

However, to their surprise, the God of Light and God of Darkness appeared together, side by side.

Although their clothing bore no significant damage, the small creases in their attire hinted that they had indeed fought a battle in another realm.

However, the players had no idea what the sudden joint appearance of the gods meant.

Had they reached an agreement?

Or had the God of Darkness won?

A sense of foreboding gripped everyone as they anxiously waited for one of the two gods to speak.
