I'm just an internet cafe owner

Let's take action!

Rick made a decision, and this was indeed the best opportunity. Azriel had just disappeared, and the Skywings might not have reacted yet. At this moment, he would use the Machine Race's ability to copy skills, employing the Sky Strike copied by Shiro to attack the Forest Elf Race and the Goblin Race, thus initiating a three-way war.

After making his decision, Rick decided to take action, and the final operation against the Star Grail began ahead of schedule due to Azriel's arrival.

A few minutes later, both the goblin and forest elf species were attacked by Sky Strike.

Sky Strike is the strongest attack method of the Skywing race. According to known information, even the Mech race has not learned this skill.

Because the characteristic of the Machina species is that they only learn the opponent's skills after being attacked, everyone agreed that the Skywing species would not be so brainless as to let the Machina species learn this powerful weapon. Moreover, it seems that the Skywing species does not need to use Sky Strike to kill the Machina species.

Since the only correct answer has been rejected, there is only one outcome left: the Skywing race launched an attack on them.

The enemy has begun their attack; what is there left to hold back? He unleashed the Goblin's Marrow Burst and the Forest Elf's Void Zero Blessing simultaneously, targeting the Skywing race.

Both the Marrow Explosion and the Void Zero Blessing are designed to annihilate other races, or even to kill gods. This power is so strong that anything that is physically alive can be obliterated.

The reason for not taking action earlier was out of fear of harming others. In the context of the Three Kingdoms period, whoever strikes first is likely to become the target of concentrated fire. The principle is simple: the one who strikes first will inevitably be attacked by those who haven't been attacked yet, and those who have been attacked will fight back desperately.

Ultimately, this will lead to the person who strikes first being surrounded and attacked.

But just as they were about to take action, they felt an irresistible force gathering in the sky.

The Marrow Explosion is very powerful, possessing the ability to destroy continents, but unfortunately, its current limit is only destroying continents, while the God Strike from the God of War can shatter the world.

While the Void Zero Blessing is slightly less powerful than the Marrow Explosion, it still possesses the power to slaughter all living beings on the entire continent.

Faced with the God of War's attack, neither the goblin nor the forest elf species had any other choice. In addition, with the attack from Sky Strike, they had already targeted the Skywing species.

On the throne of Abant Heim, the god of war Artesius sat overlooking everything on the planet.

He witnessed everything, from the appearance of beings from another world to the changes in the human race. It didn't matter; he was the most powerful being on this planet. Stop time? Time travel? Time freeze?

They are useful against other races or even other gods, but to this strongest war god, they are like toys, not even a problem.

He witnessed Azriel being captured by a combined force of humans and machine gunners, and he also saw them taunting him. He could easily see through the petty tricks of these humans, but despite that, he would still attack with all his might.

This is the theory of the strong, belonging to the strong.

The weakest provoking the strongest? Then he will retaliate with the strongest means, letting everyone on this planet know why the strongest is the strongest.

Upon sensing their master's call, the bewildered Skywing species appeared in the air, gathering all their power and that of the Skywing species to launch their strongest attack on all living beings in the world.

God Strike

There are no fancy words or fancy actions; it's simply about gathering power and then attacking.

The combined forces of the three parties gave birth to a small star, and if left unchecked, this force would be enough to destroy the planet.

In addition, Rick also had a game-winning shot.

At that moment, five thousand machine gunners almost simultaneously stood in front of this power, opening their passage control to exhaust it completely.

However, the high temperature could melt the organic matter the moment it came into contact with it. At the moment of impending destruction, black particles instantly covered the organic matter in the area.

"Iron Curtain Device! Activate!"

Chapter 248 Execution of the God of War

The Iron Curtain device creates spatial distortion by generating a proton distortion field, thereby...

This prevents the target unit from being destroyed by any weapon until its energy is depleted.

A super weapon that, once equipped with an Iron Curtain device, would remain safe even at the very center of a nuclear explosion.

The complexity of its mechanism means that this technology would never have been invented in this world without a certain level of technological foundation. However, when this technology was brought to this world by Shubi and all the machine types mastered it, replicating them was only a matter of time.

Five thousand mechs intercepted the combined power of the three forces, while another thousand mechs controlled the Iron Curtain device.

"What exactly is this?"

"What kind of power is this?"

"This is technology I've never seen before!"

The lives of all three factions were dumbfounded, even the divine beings behind them couldn't help but show a hint of solemnity upon witnessing this scene. This power was completely incomprehensible; it appeared extremely weak and even harmless, yet it could devour other energies?

The machine-type beings that absorbed and mastered this power implemented traffic control, compressed and concentrated this power, and aimed all their forces at this planet.

Calculations show that the explosive force was enough to pierce through the planet and the Elf Corridor.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, when the Elf Corridor is destroyed, the Star Grail will fall into the hands of the strongest. And the strongest in this world, without a doubt, is the God of War, Artesu, who caused this destruction.

Just as this power was about to explode, time stopped. During this time, time rewound, and all the machine gunners recovered from their injuries.

The forest elves were bewildered, as were the goblins. The rulers of these two races were representatives of the gods, wielding divine power to a certain extent. With the gods' backing, they could observe the world through paused time, yet their bodies were unable to react in any way.

A massive, silvery-white halo appeared in a vast expanse of empty air. As the halo vanished, a colossal warship materialized. Its sheer size surpassed even the largest cities of the goblin or forest elf races.

"All set, Paradox is on the move."

The massive warship slowly entered the arena. Normally, each time time is stopped, the Paradox Engine requires a long charging period. But what if the mechs align to charge?

Within minutes, the three Paradox Batteries, assembled from three interconnected parts, became the backup power source for the Paradox Engine. The Paradox Engine, entirely constructed from machine-made machines, was on a completely different level from the Paradox Engine that Shubi made by scavenging.

At this intensity, time can be stopped for up to 8 hours.

As time stopped, Einzshi, leading the effort to change the energy direction, and the replicas of this power capable of penetrating the planet, arrived at the sides of the Goblin, Forest Elf, and Skywing species.

The machine race never went to an internet cafe because even if they shared enough hearts with Shubi, they could only create machines like those in Red Alert, and couldn't use the power from the internet cafe at all.

But it doesn't matter, they will clear away the obstacles to challenging the God of War for the lovers of all the Willpower and the Machine Race.

This is also why Riku and Shuvi haven't taken action yet. They dared to challenge the God of War, and they even considered contingency plans. However, they couldn't defeat the God of War and obtain the Star Grail at the same time. But now, with the help of organic Kai, a power almost like a deus ex machina, and with a seemingly flawed but surprisingly usable strategy, Riku and Shuvi have gained an opportunity.

In a state of time stillness, neither Okan, the god of forging, nor Kainas, the god of the forest, could resist the power of time. They could only watch, with their divine powers and their retinues, witness their defeat.

"How did you manage to control this power?!"

Okan could sense that this was not magic. The technology was theoretically very similar to the marrow explosion they had created, but unfortunately they did not have the power to manipulate time.

The machine race ignored the question from the goblin god; they had only one mission: to exile their god. The only pity was that, as a war god, his body hadn't been affected by the time stop, but he didn't move. He waited for the monkey and the scrap metal who dared to challenge him—two beings he considered as weak as ants no matter what they did.

"Time-space freeze, activated."

Using advanced spacetime technology, the gods were teleported away. Okan was excited the moment he saw the frozen light; he saw countless possibilities. But unfortunately, he was a step too late. As the god of forging, he was certain of one thing: his divine destiny was likely over.

The gods of this world are special beings born from the Elven Corridor. As long as their divine essence remains, their gods will not perish. And as long as there is faith in them, these gods will not disappear. Even if their divine essence loses its spark, they can be reborn after hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years.

But now they can only watch helplessly as they are transported to a place beyond this planet. Even if their divine essence remains active, it will be difficult for them to return from beyond this world, because there is no Elven Corridor outside of it. Without power, they can only, like Kars, contemplate life in the vast universe or simply give up on thinking altogether.

The war is not over. Except for the gods, the lives of all other races are temporarily frozen through the hyperspace device.

Inside Avant Heim is a space independent of this world, where the strongest war god sits on his divine throne awaiting Rick's arrival.

Now, due to the use of Divine Strike, his power has decreased significantly, and along with this decrease in power...

As he descended, a special indicator—a health bar—appeared above his head, a feature usually only seen by internet cafe customers.

This operation has only one target left, and as a war god, even in a weakened state, he is not someone that ordinary humans can defeat.

However, Riku and Shubi are not ordinary humans. One is human, and the other is a machine. They have experienced more than a dozen real worlds in an internet cafe in another world. In order to one day slay a god, this couple, or rather, future husband and wife, have been hiding for a long time.

"You've finally arrived. Even with the power of another world, you are still weak and laughable."

The God of War's body is twice the size of a normal person, and the muscles all over his body demonstrate his unparalleled strength.

Its golden eyes were sharp and imposing, and at that moment, eighteen pairs of wings unfolded behind it.

However, he did not fly away, but stood up and walked towards Rick and Shubi.

Even other deities would shy away from the divine power emanating from them, but Rick and Shubi both smiled at the same time.

"Shubi, this time it's a strategy where you only have one life."

"No problem, Hugh, you're very strong."

"Then let's go!"

As Rick declared his final attack, Althu moved first. He sensed something unusual about Rick; despite being a monkey, he seemed invincible behind his shield.

He was excited at this moment. Someone had predicted that he would be defeated by the weak. Could it be today?

But he is a war god. Even if he is weak now, or even if the enemy's power is very strange, he will still rush to fight.

Althu is so fast that no living being could capture its speed with the naked eye.

But Rick has fought gods before. In that shattered borderland, demigods and legendary gods alike have fallen to his blade. And the small steel shield on his left arm has withstood the attacks of countless powerful beings.

Driven by instinct, Rick parried the attack.

Thirteen crisp sounds instantly filled the space, and a scene that seemed eerie to outsiders but was familiar to all the internet cafe patrons unfolded. Artes, attacking with all his might, lost his balance after Rick parried his attack with thirteen perfect parries.

Even just a moment is enough.

At that moment, Shubi rushed forward, her divine body transformed into a sword that pierced Altshu's body.

Execute!

Chapter 249 Yama's Blade, Stripping Away the Divine Essence

As Shubi was executed, Rick made a sword gesture in his hand.

Sword Control Technique!

Thirteen swords floated in mid-air, bypassing Schwi's body to execute Altshu's body.

The instant the execution ended, a tremendous power erupted from Altshu's body. This power was almost capable of engulfing everything around it, but before the power could fully unleash, Riku and Shubi simultaneously pointed their right hands towards the sky.

"BT!"

Two Titans, codenamed BT, descended from the sky!

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

The power of pure machinery, a power that the God of War had never looked down upon, became his obstacle at this moment.

In internet cafes, all the game protagonists are weak, both in real life and in the game. Each protagonist gradually grows stronger from a weak state. Very few of them are invincible.

Even if you become the King of Elden, or even the God-King of Elden, you'll still die if you get a sip of water from a crayfish.

Players are never the strongest; they are even weaker than the bosses in terms of strength. But they use their wisdom and courage to defeat one boss after another who is many times stronger than themselves.

Yes, as beings in this world, Riku and Shubi are still very weak. Let alone Sky Strike, even a Machine Race using a Pseudo-Scripture with only 10% of its power might not be able to withstand it.
