Chapter Title: The League Accepted
-----------------------------------------------------------------
They accepted.
Logos smirked.
You had no choice but to accept. You put a wish on the line, after all.
Beelzebub chuckled sinisterly from the side.
Dont think youve already caught him. That humans no ordinary guy. You have to sink your teeth in and kill him for sure.
Psyche, I didnt expect you to be this serious about catching him.
Ulion had joined at Psyches summons.
Known as the God of the Battlefield, he appeared utterly divine on the surfacebut the reality was the polar opposite.
He loved charging through battlefields, devouring every negative emotion that arose in the process and reveling in the ecstasy.
Just a little longer, and Ill be able to erase him completely. Nothing changes if we just sit back and watch I have to move myself and eliminate any future threats.
A fine answer.
Ulions companion, Armageddon, clapped with a satisfied smile at Psyches response.
He was one of the five Named, but he rarely stirred unless it was for something monumental like sealing Tenebris.
If not for Tenebriss destruction, Armageddon wouldnt be here.
How many from the higher races signed up?
Seventeen. More than enough to crush humans without breaking a sweat.
In other words, a league.
Higher racesexcluding Earthdidnt fight each other.
Theyd be assigned from Round 1 to Round 17 based on level, and humans would have to win every single one.
No matter how much they cheesed their levels, Earths humans would never make it to Round 17.
What if that master steps up?
Thats what were aiming for.
Hm?
If they lose a round, Earth gets deleted. Hell have no choice but to step in to stop that.
He mustve accepted thinking they could handle higher races.
That would be his fatal mistake.
The moment he accepted the invitation, the league became a space in the Nameds grasp.
In short, they could snatch him the instant he entered.
A mouse in a trap.
Beelzebub burst into laughter.
Hed already been humiliated by that human twice.
He was dying for revenge, and now he could pay it back double.
The problem was the Origin of Good and Evil taken from him.
It was a variable, but now that everything was in their hands, it wouldnt be an issue.
Cant let them catch on that were intervening.
Even with the Origin of Good and Evil, it was just a fragment handed to a puppet.
Impossible to overturn the board with that.
In the end, hed die right here.
The invasion has ended.
The Survival League will begin shortly.
With the invasion alert, every red portal on Earth vanished.
Phew, is it over?
The portals are gone, which is good but whats this Survival League?
Those whod fought hard against the invasion sighed in reliefyet trembled in fear.
Survival League starting soon.
It meant this endless nightmare would continue.
Fuck, this is so annoying lololol
-To Earth? Theyre really tormenting us;; Please just stop already -_-
For real, total bullshit
Whats Survival League Drop out of the league and you die?
What did we do to deserve this
Hmm, big plan to wipe out humans and create a new race? lololol
Who doesnt know that??
With all eyes and ears now fixed on the Survival League.
HoneyTube just posted!
-Check it out now! HoneyTube posted about the Survival League!
For real?
Whoa, Iwhyjin?
At this point, Im wondering what HoneyTube DOESNT know lololol
Lmao from the moment they handled god-tier weapons, HoneyTube stopped being like us
Dont compare them to us lololol theyre straight-up gods
A god, huh
Jang Dae-hwi muttered softly after posting the article.
Sure, their feats transcended human limits.
But Hoon was human, no matter how you sliced it.
Where the hell did they get info on the Survival League, though?
Itd only been ten minutes since the fact went public.
Did they already know the Survival League was coming?
Nah, no way.
But that no way bites hard.
Bro, saw your post. Thanks for the summary.
No prob. But howd you know about this?
A genuine question.
Oh, made a deal with a Transcendent. So I get most info.
Ah so thats how.
Yeah. Not like Im divining the future. Its all info network.
I see
Anyway, Im busy now, so cant train you separately. Sorry.
No worries! Cant be helped. Haha.
You seem kinda happy? Must be my imagination?
Oops.
Did his true feelings slip?
Jang Dae-hwi feigned disappointment as best he could.
Huh? Of course its your imagination! Im super bummed right now
Luckily, Jeong Hoon didnt press.
Anyway, dont even think about joining the league.
Dont join?
Yeah. Itll be insanely dangerous.
If even that monster Hoon called it dangerous, how bad could it be?
Jang Dae-hwi nodded with a tense expression.
Got it.
Okay. See you later.
The call ended there.
Master, Ive selected useful ones as you asked.
With the league looming, Jeong Hoon had ordered Thanatos to pick out promising talent.
Thanatos compiled a list of about a hundred and sent it to Jeong Hoon.
Specifically, ones who could hold out while he rampaged.
Cant lose the league while Im touring the divine realm.
The league was a double-edged sword.
Win all rounds, get a wishbut lose once, and Earth gets erased instantly.
And that wasnt all.
Jeong Hoons master privileges would be stripped by force, landing him in the Nameds clutches.
But if I join, theyll drag me in anyway.
Their plan was obvious.
Confirm he joined with Tenebris in tow, then snatch him.
The wish was bait for the trap.
Of course, he could refuse the league.
Invasion would resume, maintaining the status quo.
Some might prefer that, but eventually, repulsion rates would drop below 70.
No matter how armed the survivors, endless fighting would wear them down.
Better this way.
Jeong Hoon checked Thanatoss list and called James Marcus.
It connected before two rings.
Quick pickup, nice.
James.
Yeah, just saw the HoneyTube post. Whats this? Survival League?
As it says, a league up to 17 rounds. Gotta win them all.
17 rounds?
No sweat. We wont hit 17.
?
Anyway, calling cause I want you in the league.
Me?
Yeah. More precisely, everyone you lead.
Needed at least twenty, so he wanted James Marcuss party.
The list was solid, but none matched his party.
One question?
James hesitated, then asked carefully.
What?
Once this league ends, do we get peace?
Jeong Hoon didnt answer.
Not certain, huh.
Yeah. But we have to join.
Got it. Ill convince the rest. How do we join?
Message coming soon. Follow that.
Okay.
Assign your personnel.
Jeong Hoon, with master privileges, handled assignments directly.
Not just anyone, though.
With the Survival League starting, a message went to every survivor.
Asking if they wanted to join.
Finally, Jeong Hoon selects and assigns his applicants.
Hoon, well take Round 1.
Ha-jin said with resolve.
Round 1?
Yeah. We can join again after, right?
True.
Same people could climb roundsno rule against it.
So Ha-jin, fresh off Phase 6, volunteered for Round 1.
You sure you can hold out?
Of course. Well sweep whoever comes!
What if something way beyond expectations shows up?
Cmon, Round 1?
Jeong Hoon explained the league to everyone, said hed visit the divine realm during.
Sounds dangerous.
But it has to be done.
True, but
Youre not sending us alone. You said youd attach a proper clone, right?
Yeah.
Clone made from Origin of Good and Evil.
Perfect copy: level, stats, combat senseall lifted from Jeong Hoon.
But he wasnt sending it to Round 1.
Gotta see how it plays out first.
Psyche promised to focus all eyes on the Survival League, but Jeong Hoon didnt trust her 100.
So hed watch Round 1 himself, judge, then send clone from Round 2 and time his divine realm trip.
Worry was holding Round 1 without the clone.
Deok-gu, Yeo Sun-woo, Yeo Min-ji, even Mom.
Everyone itching for Round 1.
Theyre at full strength, right?
Per Psyches info, opponents were chosen by Named.
Lose, no penaltythey had that much favor.
Monsters over level 2,000 baseline.
Sending everyone but himself? Complicated.
Bro, its fine. Ive gotten way stronger!
Deok-gu, whod bail if risky, now reassuring Jeong Hoon.
Sure have.
Fought him for HoneyTube footage, checked his skills firsthand.
Current Deok-gu could handle it.
Son, trust uswell be fine.
Mom reassured next.
Hoon, dont worry and succeed! Well draw all the attention.
Yeo Min-ji clenched a fist in encouragement.
Yeah, I think theyre good too.
Tenebris saw no one better.
Jeong Hoon made a clone via Origin of Good and Evil.
It appeared beside hima perfect duplicate.
Its really identical
Whoa
Onlookers gasped repeatedly.
Indistinguishable from Jeong Hoon.
Joins Round 2. So please handle Round 1.
Round 1 was key.
Round 2, clone joins and slaughters higher racesdrawing Named to snatch it.
Psyches aim exactly; success means no need for 17 rounds.
So with fervent hope they hold Round 1, he assigned the lineup.
