## Chapter 510 – 510. God’S Atlantis
510. God’s Atlantis
Bang!
Olivia’s hand, which was holding a gun, fired.
Most of the guns circulating in the Atlantis world are either modified with magic and divine power, or they use special bullets.
Either way, they are rare and expensive. And Olivia seems to have both.
The bullet Olivia fired drew a red trajectory, aiming for the very center of Barden’s forehead. It was an excellent shot.
However.
“Oops.”
Barden swung his revolver and deflected the bullet. The bullet caused a small explosion, but it didn’t do any damage to Barden.
“Everything’s good, but your bullets are too cheap. If you want to kill me, use bullets that cost at least 5 million pennies. Like this one.”
Bang.
Barden fired a shot at us. I frowned. The direction it was coming from was ambiguous. It wasn’t aimed at me, nor was it aimed at Olivia.
Did he misfire?
No.
He deliberately shot in an ambiguous direction. That way, the bullet would split into 30 pieces mid-flight and hit us.
Olivia raised a large steel shield to block the bullets, and I stepped forward, using my fist to deflect the bullets.
My fist became bloody. Moving wasn’t a problem, but since it had pierced through my Heavenly Demon Energy, I couldn’t ignore Barden’s bullets.
“Your body and shield are quite sturdy. Try blocking this one. Oh, by the way, this one costs 30 million pennies.”
The barrels of the two revolvers glowed.
This time, the magic bullets were guided. The bullets flew around like they were doing acrobatics, persistently aiming for me and Olivia’s heads.
‘Bullets that automatically aim for headshots… That alone is crazy, but their durability is no joke either.’
I deflected the bullets several times with my fist, which was blazing with Heavenly Demon Energy. But the bullets didn’t break at all and kept targeting me.
However, after a minute, the bullets fell to the floor on their own.
“Damn it. You can’t even swing your fist properly, and you’re just using cheap tricks like this!”
Olivia threw a knife at Barden, annoyed. It was a surprise attack that even I, who was next to her, didn’t notice until right before it was thrown.
Barden barely dodged the knife.
I noticed something strange. When Olivia shot her gun earlier, he casually deflected it, but now he barely dodged the knife. The speed of the knife was much slower than the bullet.
“That bastard… what is he…?”
Olivia seemed to have noticed the strangeness as well. But it wasn’t that important.
‘The fact that I have to kill that bastard doesn’t change.’
I ran towards Barden.
Olivia followed behind me. It seemed like she was using me as a shield, but that was more efficient, so I didn’t plan on complaining. If it were some other guy, he would have gotten angry, but she was a beauty who met my standards.
“I’ll kill you before you get any closer!”
Barden, becoming impatient, kept pulling the trigger. Magic bullets poured out.
“Duck, Heavenly Demon!”
I obediently lowered my head as Olivia said. She grabbed a large cloth with both hands and threw it at the bullets. The bullets disappeared without a trace, and the cloth fell to the floor. It seemed to be a cloth with special abilities.
“Hey. Heavenly Demon. I’m going to kill that bastard.”
“There’s no such thing. Whoever kills him first gets him.”
Heavenly Demon Divine Art (天魔神功) Heavenly Demon Step (天魔 Step).
I stepped forward and rushed in front of Barden, who was replacing the cylinder of his revolver.
“Damn it!”
I heard Olivia’s frustrated voice from behind. But that didn’t stop my fist.
“Heavenly Demon! Wait! You don’t know anything about Helten!”
“You’re the one who doesn’t know anything.”
Heavenly Demon Divine Art (天魔神功) Dragon Fist (竜拳).
It was the moment my fist was about to slam into Barden’s head. Barden dodged my attack with an unbelievable reaction speed. My fist hit his right forearm.
“Kuh, Kuaaaaaaaak!”
Barden’s arm flew off and fell to the floor.
I glared at him with cold eyes.
“You son of a bitch! Norden! What are you doing?! Use your ability right now! …Okay, don’t rush me. You idiot. You would have been dead a long time ago if it weren’t for me.”
One person playing two roles.
Barden was talking to himself. If he wasn’t acting, there was a possibility that he had a dual personality.
“If you were trying to get my attention on purpose, you failed. Die.”
I raised my fist. I was planning to completely crush his insides using the power of the Calm.
“…Heavenly Demon. Do you know? Helten is trying to kill God! Helten’s goal isn’t just about prestige, it’s about killing the real God!”
Barden shouted to try and shake me. But I was calm.
“I know. Die.”
Helten’s goal was to prevent Atlantis from opening any further. To do that, they needed to be able to talk to the Divine Seats on equal terms.
Among them, there would be Divine Seats who wouldn’t listen. Would they persuade those Divine Seats? Could they really persuade the Divine Seats with words? No way. That was close to impossible. And if they couldn’t be persuaded, they would have to fight.
“What…? You crazy…! Norden!”
I threw my fist. Golden light emanated from Barden’s eyepatch and body, covering me.
[The Spirit of Time temporarily stops your body.]
[You cannot move for 40 seconds.]
[You will not be interfered with for 40 seconds.]
It seemed that I couldn’t move, but I also couldn’t be attacked. Even so, 30 seconds was too long. I wanted to click my tongue, but since my body wouldn’t move, I clicked my tongue internally.
“Good job! Norden!”
Norden was probably the Spirit of Time. It was probably related to the eye in his eyepatch.
Barden turned away from me. It seemed like he was planning to run away. And several knives flew and stabbed into his back.
“Barden! You son of a bitch! You think you can get away with stealing my money and screwing over our family?! I’m going to peel your skin off!”
“You bitch! The amount you actually lost wasn’t even that much?! Why are you so obsessed?!”
“If you stab someone in the back, you have to pay the price, you bastard!”
Olivia was chasing after Barden, who was running away, with fierce momentum.
I couldn’t move and could only watch.
“Kuh. Hehehe! This guy can’t move, can he? Everyone, come here!”
The small fry holding weapons surrounded me. One of them swung a sword at my arm. But the sword couldn’t penetrate my body. The same was true for magic.
[Remaining stop time: 5 seconds]
“Just wait a bit. He won’t be like this forever. When you feel it, attack all at once. Got it?”
“I’m going to cut off that bastard’s legs first.”
“I’m going for the neck. Anyone who touches the neck, be prepared.”
“I’m going to stab his heart.”
[Remaining stop time: 1 second]
Click.
The moment my eyebrow moved, they attacked from all directions.
Heavenly Demon Divine Art (天魔神功) Diamond Demonic Dragon (金剛魔龍).
I gritted my teeth and endured the pain. Their attacks couldn’t inflict deep wounds on my body.
“This is crazy. What kind of body is…”
“…Damn it. We’re screwed.”
Heavenly Demon Divine Art (天魔神功) Diamond Demonic Dragon (金剛魔龍) Reverse (反).
I exploded the damage in all directions. The small fry around me flew backward and crashed to the floor. I stepped on each of their heads, finishing them off.
“I can’t just leave the guys who targeted me alone.”
After finishing the confirmation kills, I ran towards where Barden and Olivia had gone. Fortunately, the bloodstains left by Barden, who had lost his arm, guided me.
Further inside.
I went further inside.
The sounds of clashing swords and screams filled the air. The war was progressing to a desperate level. Probably at least thousands would die today.
I entered a building and found Olivia lying on the floor. There were all kinds of weapons around her. They were probably Olivia’s.
“Olivia!”
I grabbed her and checked her injuries. I saw a cut wound from a blade that went from her shoulder to her chest, and a gunshot wound on her left thigh.
Fortunately, she was still alive.
“Damn it… I’m going to have more scars. Damn it. Damn it. Damn it…”
“Olivia, where’s Barden?”
“…Those bastards went into the hidden area.”
It seemed that Olivia had been fighting more than one person.
I tried to support Olivia’s shoulder, but she shook off my hand and stood up on her own. It was amazing that she could stand up even with a hole in her left thigh.
“I’m not dead yet, so don’t treat me like a patient.”
“If you die, you’ll be treated like a corpse, not a patient. Where is the hidden area?”
“It’s over there. The rumors were true. And since you have more than 1% stake, it’s perfect. Let’s go in together and take down that bastard Barden.”
Olivia pointed to the wall. It was a wall with no decorations on the outside. The entrance to the hidden area was often hidden in this way.
Olivia staggered and went into the hidden area. I took out a top-grade potion from my inventory and followed her.
Swoosh.
My body went into the wall.
[Influence on the Lawless Zone: 1.12%]
[Confirmed influence of 1% or more. Entry conditions are met.]
[5,710th District, Auto Factory.]
[This is a hidden area.]
[You can receive dividends based on your influence.]
[Dividends will be given in 20 days. The dividend you can receive is 26,114,195 pennies.]
[If your influence falls below 1%, you will not be able to receive dividends and you will not be able to enter the 5,710th District, Auto Factory.]
Clank clank! Squeak bang! Clank!
It was a factory, just like its name. It was filled with machines that I couldn’t understand, and they were constantly moving and producing something.
‘…Are the daily necessities made here sold throughout Atlantis?’
I glanced to the side. The machines were making something like canned goods.
I checked the notification window again.
“Influence, stake, you kept talking about it, and it was actually a stake. Did you know?”
I asked Olivia. Olivia’s face was distorted. It wasn’t just because of the pain from her injuries.
“…I’ve been living in the Lawless Zone all my life, but I didn’t know at all. Damn it… Those Jerdin Legion bastards. They were monopolizing this. They probably called the influence a stake to deceive us. Those damn bastards…”
“The dividend is 70 million pennies with only 1% influence. That’s an absurd amount of money. If that much money came in every month…”
The Jerdin Legion had more than 40% influence. They must have been taking all the dividends until we came here…
“Those damn bastards… If we had that money, we could have developed the Lawless Zone more! What are those bastards using the money for?!”
“It probably went into someone’s wallet. Or they invested it in this hidden area.”
Olivia kicked the machine as if she was venting her anger. A part of the machine was broken. But slowly, it was automatically repairing itself, as if the wound was healing.
“What is this… Kuh!”
Olivia’s legs gave out, and she was about to fall backward, but I quickly approached and caught her with my hand. She was shaking intermittently. Her complexion wasn’t good.
“Let’s put some potion on your wounds. In this state, you’ll be the one who gets taken down, not Barden.”
“…Damn it. I don’t like being in debt…”
“You know this isn’t the time to be prideful, right? Be honest. You can barely move your arms and legs right now, can you?”
“…I’ll repay the debt somehow, someday.”
Olivia decided to accept my help. It was a rational choice.
“To apply the potion to your wounds… I’ll have to take off your clothes. Is that okay?”
“Huh? You can just pour it on. Don’t try anything funny in this situation. I might lose all my gratitude.”
“Look at your wounds. You’ll need more potion if you want to solve it by just pouring it on. I only have one potion left for emergencies.”
It was a lie. But she didn’t see through my lie.
“Tsk. Then take them off.”
“Really?”
“It’s not like I’m going to die just because you see my boobs or thighs. Is that a big deal? Hurry up. We have to chase after that bastard Barden and kill him.”
I thought I would have to argue, but she was surprisingly calm.
“I’m doing it. Don’t say anything later.”
“There’s no way I will, so just hurry up.”
I first took off her tank top.
Her elastic breasts jiggled like a fallen pudding. She frowned, probably feeling pain when I took off her clothes.
“Hey, your nipples are erect?”
There were also scars on her white, plump breasts. The pink nipples at the end were in a good shape.
“You idiot. My nipples are always erect. Just apply the potion.”
