Gods' Impact Online-Chapter 93

Chapter 93

A half-burnt body of a man fell on the ground and bounced in the air on impact. Then, it was punched by red gloves.

The body crashed through the walls of the church, and it was slammed on the ceiling before falling on the ground with a splat noise.

However, the player was still alive. And the nun present in the church, who was the NPC healer, ran to the entrance of the church.

The ground shook, and the ceiling fell apart as Zach landed near the man. He ignored the nun and walked to the man, who could barely move.

Zach raised his hand, but his gloves stopped glowing.

"Well, it doesn't matter…" Zach muttered.

Zach looked at the player's name tag and noticed it was dark blue, meaning the player had killed more than 100 NPCs. The player's name was 'Legendary Gear 69', which was the nickname system introduced in the latest update.

Normally, Zach wouldn't have gotten this furious, but after discovering that the boss monsters were summoned from another world, he was certain that the NPCs were also somewhat similar.

However, even if they weren't, The NPCs of Gods' Impact were normal humans, the same as the players in the real world. But, the NPCs were unable to use magic or level up.

While Gods' Impact didn't have any rules or laws, the negative karma was in effect.

(Negative karma gave bad luck, meaning the player wouldn't get anything useful from the treasure chests. The players with their negative karma higher than negative ten weren't allowed to join guild or party.)

For Zach, the player was nothing more than an ordinary human who needed to be punished for his crimes. He didn't have any allegation nor obligation to do that, but doing that wouldn't make him less of a human. However, he felt like he would lose something if he didn't punish the player.

And the punishment was death with suffering.

"Why… do you care…?" the player asked. "They are NPC. Their lives don't matter…"

"Calling you a racist would be an understatement," Zach uttered in a solemn voice. He considered NPC as a race.

'Time to test how effective the new update is…'

Zach conjured a lightning sword and cleaved the player's hands and legs.

"Aaaaargh!" The player started bleeding and yelled in pain, but he still hadn't died for some reason.

'What's with him? I sent him flying in the sky with my punch and kept beating the shit out of him until I threw him at the church. And he is still alive even after receiving the fall damage getting his limbs cleaved.'

'Wait…' Zach raised his brows and wondered. 'Does killing an NPC also level up the player?'

'He has to be more than level 50… at least…'

Zach didn't want to kill the player directly, or he would get the red name tag for killing the player because they weren't in a duel. While if 'Legendary Gear 69' died with intense pain and severe blood loss, his death would be considered as self-death.

Normally, Zach wouldn't have minded the red nametag, but now he was a little worried about getting it. He was finally back with Victoria, and his relationship with Aurora was advancing.

Zach wanted his relationships to get on a stable phase before doing something reckless.

After around 5 minutes of bleeding and suffering in pain, Legendary Gear 69 died.

"I thought I would feel satisfied, but I don't…" Zach muttered in a solemn voice.

"Then again…" He turned around and said, "There would be many like him, or even worse."

Zach walked to the gate of the church to leave, but the nun came in between and stared at him.

The nun had pointy ears and curly braids from the side. Her hair color was golden, and her eyes were brown.

Zach frowned his face and uttered, "Get out of my way."

The nun walked close to Zach and dropped to her knees.

Confused, Zach raised his brows and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Thank you, my lord," the nun uttered in a respectful tone.

"Oh…" Zach groaned after realizing how the nun in the beginner's realm also mistook Zach as a god.

"Uhh… I am not your lord," Zach sighed in frustration. "Now, get out of my way."

The nun looked up at Zach with teary eyes and said, "No, you are my lord."

"But I am not."

"You are!" the nun insisted.

"I am not!" Zach shouted in annoyance. "Listen, I am getting late. So let me pass, or I will have to kill you."

The nun stood up and grabbed Zach's hand in her hands. Then, she placed Zach's hand on her forehead and said, "You are my lord and god. Please show mercy on me, and I shall worship you like never before."

"You are creeping me out," Zach commented with a disgusted look on his face. "Do whatever you want, just let me—"

Suddenly, Zach's entire body shined white as it rose in the air.

"Argh!" Zach grunted in pain as he tried to move. But a second later, everything went back to normal.

Zach landed in front of the nun and gasped for air. Then, he looked at the nun and raised his hand to punch her after saying, "What did you do to me?!"

[Congratulations! Soul Powers have been awakened!]

"I… didn't do anything…" the nun replied with her voice full of fear.

"What did you do to me?!" Zach asked again, but unlike the first time, he asked with a smile on his face.

"I…"

"How did you do that?" Zach asked.

The nun was more confused than Zach, so asking her wasn't an option.

Zach pondered for a while for the possible reasons his soul powers finally awakened. Then, he remembered what the nun said a while ago.

"You said I am your God, and you will worship me, right?" Zach asked the nun in a calm voice.

The nun nodded in response and said, "Because you are the god."

"I see…"

Out of all the players stuck in Gods' Impact, some wanted to get out of the game, while others wanted to beat the gods and become a new god.

Zach, however, was already a god.
