Chapter 875: The Beginning of Slaying Gods!
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
Different from most of the previous games, God of War had three difficulty level: Mortal, Spartan, and God.
The difficulty setting was necessary. After all, the enemies in God of War were real gods, not minor gods but the 12 Olympians, the 12 major deities.
In the previous games, other than Dark Souls, which no one had passed yet, there had been few battles against opponents above the peak level of humans. Even Almighty Demon Lord Chong Lou had lowered his strength to the upper limit of humans when he battled Jing Tian.
However, in God of War, the System created this world with an ultimate difficulty level. Without lowering the difficulty through the difficulty levels, many players would never be able to handle the enemies in this game.
Although God of War and Dark Souls both revolved around legends, they had different core elements. Besides, when the players couldn’t pass Dark Souls, they could invite friends with ultimate skills to help them with rewards and work together. However, this practice couldn’t be used in God of War, which was why the system version of God of War had designed several levels of difficulty.
…
At this moment, Elf Queen Kellybel ate potato chips as she watched several players enter the game.
Even the saint-level masters were discussing. “Perhaps… let’s choose the second difficulty level…”
Frightened by the difficulty of Dark Souls, they immediately chose the Spartan Difficulty Level and entered the game.
The story brought them back to three weeks before the beginning scene.
With all kinds of questions on their minds, the players entered the game while feeling a sense of epicness.
On the vast pitch-black sea, huge waves surged up in a violent storm as if some horrifying demons were running havoc in the depths of the sea.
The huge shipwreck on the shore was full of monsters from the Underworld.
It was close to the shore, but the sea under the cliff was unfathomable. Suddenly, a huge head of a horrifying monster appeared before them!
It was a huge snake head. More horrifying was that countless giant snake bodies coiled on the deep ocean bottom. It was the monster only existing in myths – the Hydra!
In other words, the weakest monster that the players faced from the very beginning of the game was a monster from the myths!
“What’s this-?!”
“Is this person going to fight that snake monster?!” Elf Queen Kellybel ate potato chips as she watched the scene in surprise.
In such a stormy ocean, a human would certainly die if he had to fight such a horrifying sea monster.
Furthermore, it’s true form was yet to be revealed from the ocean.
The saint-level masters who were playing the highest God Difficulty Level encountered lots of dangers within the first minute of the game. Almost no weapon could inflict damage on the extremely hard scales of this monster.
The Blades of Chaos were dual short blades forged in the foulest depths of Hades.
The main character, Kratos, in God of War had the dual blades in his hands. The saint-level players could feel the weapon’s omnipresent horrifying power when they held the two blades.
But even such a weapon couldn’t do much damage on the nine-headed sea serpent.
With great efforts, the players could only force back one of its heads.
“My goodness… how come they have to fight such a big boss at the very beginning of the game?!” Elf Queen Kellybel said from behind, “Can they defeat it…?”
At this moment, Kratos was not its match. But don’t forget that at this time, Kratos was also a champion of the gods, which meant that he had the 12 major Olympian gods behind him!
After defeating one of the Hydra’s heads, Kratos finally came to the depths of the extremely huge ship. A blinding blue godly light lit up as a giant god’s face appeared before them.
Everyone shook involuntarily!
Even though it was only a shadow, the players could feel the vast godly power of the god behind the shadow. This was Poseidon, the Lord of the Seas. This god was worshipped by all the humans who survived with the resources from the ocean.
“Lord Poseidon.” Kratos showed due respect.
The bright blue face looked like surging ocean water, and one seemed to see endless ocean in it.
“Kratos, before you reach Athens, there is a task you must complete.”
“This beast is Hydra, it has terrorized my seas for far too long. Your skills are admirable, but you will need assistance, you will need the power of the gods.!
“Accept this godly power.”
In the next moment, the whole world turned into an illusion. The entire Heaven and Earth seemed to have transformed into a great ocean. In the vast surging godly power, horrifying godly thunderbolts crashed down from the sky and encircled around Kratos like snakes or dragons. Like the thunder god, he was bathed in godly thunderbolts.
Following the ancient rules, it transformed into a god’s wrath and turned everything around it into ashes. This was the magic power given by Poseidon, the Lord of the Seas – Poseidon’s Rage!
“This magic power…?!” While Kellybel stared at the magic power with widened eyes, the players such as St. Leidon were also stupefied.
Different from the character who was born with no power in Dark Souls, the players in God of War felt like they had the ability to destroy the Heavens and Earth!
“Magic power…” World Mage Hematon almost danced as his eyes burned with maniac-like heat. “I feel the power of the spell… this is real magic! Is this the magic power that gods can unleash?!”
“Let me get familiar with this god-level magic spell! I think…” Hematon controlled Kratos, and his expression had never looked so dominant before.
Indeed, the players had been extremely cautious when they fought with one of the heads of the Hydra. Now, when they encountered an attack that they couldn’t dodge, they could just block it head-on with Poseidon’s Rage!
Yes, a small mortal could fight with a mythical monster head-on!
“I feel like…I’m unrivaled!” Hematon laughed and said, “This game… is so cool! So cool!”
Soon, he got familiar with how to use Poseidon’s Rage. When one head of the huge Hydra bit at him with fierceness, thunderbolts appeared like dragons as the horrifying godly power exploded in the form of godly thunderbolts like a god’s wrath!
The Hydra’s huge head couldn’t break through this godly power. Instead, it was forced back dozens of meters as the thunderbolts almost shattered its sharp fangs!
“Hahahaha-!” He laughed wildly. If he could master this magic spell in the real world, then…
Behind him, Elf Queen Kellybel lost her composure as she watched this great power!
The saint-level masters such as Hematon laughed wildly as they played. “With such godly power, who can stop me in this world?!”
“This game isn’t difficult at all. In a while, I’ll try the God Difficulty Level!”
“Yeah! Yeah! I even chose the Spartan Difficulty Level. With such godly power, it’s child’s play to kill these small monsters!”
At this moment, an almighty god shadow materialized before them in the storm.
“Kratos, your next task is to kill Ares, the God of War.”
“Okay. It’s easy…”
“What?” Everyone fell silent instantly.
Poseidon, the Lord of the Seas… Ares, the God of War… how come the names sound a bit similar…?
“Whom do you want me to kill?!”
