Chapter 1005
In fact, it had become a video that people would watch again if they found themselves in a boring situation. After the video\'s release, people began to dig up information about Evangel, and they learned a lot about this temple from the myths.
[Did you hear that just now? It said the Unfinished Evangel is scanning the Battle God’s Temple.]
[Evangel is an absolute temple created by Kronad. Player Minhyuk always had Evangel in his possession, but he has never used it after that day.]
[To be more accurate, it’s not that he did not want to use it. Perhaps it’s more accurate to say that he could not use it. It’s impossible for a single player to fulfill the requirements to use Evangel.]
One was that the player had to become a god. This alone was enough to garner the praise and cheers of everyone. However, Evangel was a temple that went beyond that level. It was something that even Named NPC Gods wanted but could not have. Even the Absolute Gods and the Eight Pillars could not have Evangel.
Like that, the Unfinished Evangel moved to observe and admire the temple.
[Currently, Evangel is checking if Player Minhyuk has the qualifications!]
Everyone’s attention was piqued by the words of one of the experts in one of the live broadcasts.
At the same time, a small ball of light floated in front of Minhyuk. Then, the light slowly flew inside the Battle God’s Temple.
At this moment, the entire world discovered that Evangel had an ego and a consciousness of its own.
[Evangel is looking around the entrance of the temple.]
[Evangel is observing the trees that have taken root deeper into the soil, the fresher air, and the shinier and harder rocks surrounding the temple.]
After a few moments of observation, Evangel slowly ventured deeper. The small ball of light floated before Minhyuk’s portrait, hanging near the temple\'s entrance. Like a person watching and enjoying an exhibit, it stopped before the picture.
Then, an unexpected notification rang.
[Evangel silently looks at the portrait of the young emperor.]
The small light floated in front of the portrait for a very long time, not moving at all, which increased Minhyuk’s anxiety.
‘I must reach the final level to obtain the finished and completed Evangel.’
This would determine whether he could or could not have Evangel.
Thump–
Then, at that moment, a tiny transparent jewel fell from Evangel.
[Evangel saw many things from the portrait of the young emperor.]
[After viewing one portrait, Evangel is left contemplating many things.]
[This was a feat only made possible because of the ‘Beyond the Heavens Empire’s First Emperor’ born under the hand of an outstanding painter.]
It was just one portrait, but what did Evangel see in this portrait?
Then, something happened that brought even greater shock to everyone present.
“You’re still so young.”
“...!”
“...!”
“...!”
Evangel’s voice rang from within the ball of light and resonated worldwide.
“But you’re already standing tall and firm.”
[Evangel begins to talk as it stares at the face of the figure in the portrait.]
“Sometimes, you’re like a weak young man. Other times, you’re like a flexible and pliant old man. There are also times when you’re like an outspoken man.
“You...”
[...are an insignificant and small emperor.]
“But you...”
[...are also an influential and prominent emperor.]
Evangel floated in front of the painting for a very long time. Then, it opened its mouth again to say, “From the lowest position.”
[You have become an emperor who has reached the highest place.]
“That’s amazing.”
Evangel finally moved deeper into the temple. Dozens of drones followed Evangel until they stood before the artifact samples. Evangel stood in front of the samples and observed them thoroughly, one after another.
[Evangel is evaluating the artifacts that it has seen.]
“They’re too much.”
The viewers and commentators could not help but agree with those words. Minhyuk’s artifacts were obviously far too much for a player to possess. A common term perfectly described what Minhyuk was enjoying: Overgeared.
[But...]
Everyone listened carefully to Evangel’s words.
“It’s enough.”
[Every artifact only came to his possession because the young emperor received recognition.]
[And those who produced them...]
“Everything is because of your tireless efforts and hard work.”
[They must have judged that you are deserving enough.]
“Even I find it difficult to judge something like that. But...”
[It’s amazing.]
[Even though he lacked the qualifications, he persevered and continued to work hard until he earned the right and the qualifications to have them.]
[That sword...]
“It can cut even the sky.”
[That armor...]
“It can face any danger.”
[That helmet...]
“It can conceal the young emperor’s immaturity and allow him to look at his enemies with sharp and cold eyes.”
[Evangel looks at all the artifacts he possesses in admiration.]
Once again, Evangel floated in front of the artifact samples for a long time. For some reason, it looked like the ball of light was stroking each artifact gently as it hovered above them.
After some time, Evangel slowly moved until it stood in front of the emperor and master of the temple. The young emperor\'s figure looked like he was shouting, “Charge!” as he held his sword high in the sky.
There was an imperceptible shaking in the small ball of light as Evangel stood before the statue.
[Evangel is trembling.]
“I have seen the master of the young temple.”
The entire world held its breath as they watched the shaking Evangel.
“And...”
[I have seen an undeserving man who lacks the qualifications receive these artifacts.]
“In fact...”
[I thought along those lines, too.]
[The temple master is not yet deserving and cannot sit in this position yet.]
[He does not deserve to become the master of the most significant temple.]
“But...”
[The sword that you raised proved me wrong.]
“You...”
[...are much greater than what I thought.]
“Under the sword that you raised...”
[Ten thousand, millions, hundreds of millions...]
“I can’t even fathom how many there are.”
[...they stand by your side and fight together with you.]
“I can see it in my head.”
[The image of the young man, the Great Sovereign, raising his sword and leading thousands of gods to cut down the enemies.]
“At his cry...”
[I can see the image of the poor and pitiful soldiers holding their weapons tightly despite the tears and the fear that were gnawing at them.]
“Now, I know.”
[He is an emperor that I dare not and should not assess.]
“This young emperor, this god.”
[I finally understand the reason why he became the master of this temple.]
“So, today...”
The ball of light slowly descended on the ground. It bowed and worshiped the God standing in front of it.
Everyone understood the meaning of its actions.
[I am beyond honored.]
The light grew even brighter the moment it made contact with the ground.
[This young man...]
“...is a strong man.”
[He might be lacking as an emperor...]
“But he is also an emperor who can fill in his gaps and shortcomings.”
[I will serve the Great Sovereign who will lead countless men...]
“...and the Battle God.”
[Is something that I am beyond honored to do so.]
The entire world was in shock. The temple from the myths, Evangel, the very same temple that all the gods wanted to possess, was worshiping one man.
[From me to you.]
“No.”
[For accepting me...]
“Thank you.”
Then, a series of notifications rang all over the world.
[Evangel has leveled up.]
[The Temple from the Myths, Evangel, is now completed.]
[The Temple from the Myths, Evangel, shines a brighter and greater light in the world to honor the master of the temple.]
[The Temple from the Myths, Evangel, wishes for an audience with the temple\'s master!]
Minhyuk, who was standing outside the temple, walked slowly until he entered. With every step, the light shone brightly and spread even further. Evangel burst into cheers, a sense of joy and fulfillment hanging in the air. It seemed like the temple was truly glad to serve him.
[Evangel, which had shown its true and complete appearance, grants all foreigners present Evangel’s Protection.]
[All of your stats will increase by 5%. Your EXP Acquisition Rate will increase by 20%. The duration of the blessing is one week.]
For some reason, Minhyuk felt like Evangel was smiling softly as he strolled until he reached the light of Evangel. At that moment, an unknown power washed over him.
‘The will to protect my temple.’
‘The determination to serve and worship my religion.’
‘The heart to cherish and love me.’
These various forces embraced Minhyuk as he stared at the smile on Evangel, who had attached itself to the ground. Then, the small ball of light slowly spread and permeated the ground. Not long after, the entire Battle God’s Temple was covered with light.
[Evangel has leveled up.]
[The Temple from the Myths, Evangel, is revealing its complete and finished appearance!]
[The powers of the Unfinished Evangel have changed into the complete version.]
Ring!
[Evangel exerts a stronger power for the master of the temple.]
[The unfinished Evangel has been completed. The Finished Evangel’s Level is at Level 1.]
[The restriction on the number of Evangel Knights has disappeared.]
Minhyuk was very shocked.
‘Evangel’s level returns to Level 1?’
This meant he could increase its level and bring it to Level 9 again. In other words, it was like announcing to the world that this was only the beginning of the Temple from the Myths, Evangel.
Then, the details about the Level 1 Evangel rang in Minhyuk’s ears.
[If a follower of your religion enters your temple, Evangel will grant them a 6% increase in attack and defensive power. The buff would last for an entire week.]
[If a follower of your religion enters your temple, Evangel will grant them a 10% increase in DEX. The buff would last for an entire week.]
[If a follower of your religion enters your temple, Evangel will grant them a 6% increase in EXP Acquisition Rate. The buff would last for an entire week.]
[If a follower of your religion enters your temple, Evangel will grant them a 5% increase in abnormal status resistance. The buff would last for an entire week.]
[Those who have been bestowed with Evangel’s power will only be able to receive this power again after three months.]
[With every increase of Evangel’s level, all buff effects will increase by 20% while the buff cooldown will decrease by 20%.]
‘At first glance, one would say that the increase in the effects is only minimal.’
However, they would understand what this meant if one was not a fool.
What would happen if every time the temple level increased, there was a 6% increase in attack power, defensive power, and EXP acquisition rate by 20%? Simply put, if Evangel leveled up by only 1, the increase in the attack and defensive power and the EXP acquisition rate would become 7.2%. What would happen if it reached Level 9?
‘That’s crazy. By entering the temple, they would receive around a 20% increase in their attack and defensive power? Not only that, but they will also receive the same increase in EXP Acquisition Rate?’
Minhyuk was rendered speechless. The temple was genuinely crazy. However, it was not limited to that. If he could increase Evangel’s level, he could unseal more of the power hidden within the temple.
The eyes of the hundreds of reporters shone as they looked at Minhyuk, who finally came out of the temple. Even the countless players gathered around were looking at him in curiosity.
What kind of power did the Finished Evangel have?
Everyone was curious about this. After all, this would become one of the deciding factors on whether they would choose to serve and worship the Battle God.
“Your Majesty, please...!” Haze said, the eagerness and desperation evident in her voice. Whatever Minhyuk said next would significantly affect the migration of the people to their empire.
Minhyuk was a very clever and sly man. He said, “First come, first served.”
The entire world focused their attention as they listened to Minhyuk’s words.
First come, first served. The impact of those words was significant. Why? Because those words would make the others think, “Ah, since he dares to say ‘First come, first served,’ then the effects might be crazy enough, no?”
“One million people.”
Everyone in the area immediately ran to join and serve the Battle God’s religion.
