Chapter 896 - The God of War and His Illiterate and Humiliating Old Father Who Has No Sense of Direction
“But… What miraculous skill is involved in this Strong Locking Man? How can it kill gods?” Valkyrie Isabela stared at the scene suspiciously, feeling like something wasn’t right.
The strange god didn’t get up again from the valley after dying. Even if he wasn’t dead, he was severely wounded by this combat technique.
As Valkyrie Isabela mused over this, Kratos in the game walked back exhausted with blood all over him. He even dropped to the snow on the ground due to exhaustion.
Only after a long time did his injuries healed. Obviously, they couldn’t stay here anymore.
Following his wife’s last wish, Kratos took his son and his wife’s ashes, embarking on the journey to the highest peak of the nine realms.
He probably knew what dangers were hiding on the journey; they might be related to an ancient prophecy, and his son might not be ready to face the era mentioned in the prophecy. However, they must embark on the journey since that strange god might resurrect at any moment.
Walking out of the house, they saw that the terrain around them had experienced great changes due to the battle. The forest had turned into a valley, and mountains were razed to the ground.
In the distance were endless rolling mountains with white snow on the peaks and huge forests at the foot. No one knew how many miraculous creatures of the mythological era were hiding in there or how many top-tier gods lived in the mountains.
Their destination was the grandest and highest mountain peak in the mythological era in the farthest part of this mountain range.
The journey wouldn’t be easy. Just the draugr hiding in the forest were hard to handle, let alone other things.
In this era, everything except the powerful gods had turned into such monsters.
Of course, there were benefits in such a situation. When the countless creatures in this corrupted world were turned into draugr, their fortunes had become ownerless.
In this world of the mythological era, there were many awe-inspiring powerful objects. At this moment, Mr. Fang controlled Kratos to dig out a simple-looking rune from a broken chest in the roadside ruins.
The players had witnessed the power of runewords in Diablo 2. In God of War 4, there were also runestones with ancient runes engraved on them.
But different from Diablo 2, this runestone looked simpler and more ancient. According to legends, these letters were the runes created by the Allfather Odin in Norse mythology. They represented the laws of nature of the ancient times, and each letter contained magic power. With good combinations, they could produce miracles. It was probably the original form of magic spells.
“With this rune attached to the axe, it can unleash magic power?” Mr. Fang immediately picked up the battle axe and tried it on.
When he lifted his battle axe, a powerful magic force swept around instantly!
“Wow-!” The mages and alchemists stared at this scene with widened eyes. “This simple letter has such a great power?!”
Besides, the rune had its own power and didn’t consume magic energy!
“Father, here! The mountain is over there! Let’s go!”
As time went on, Mr. Fang practiced his combat techniques and explained them to the viewers on the livestream. Although it was the highest difficulty level, he managed it…
“Thank god that I didn’t fail!” Mr. Fang wiped the non-existent sweat from his face and walked toward the direction Atreus pointed. “This is good! It seems like our son is our guide. We don’t have to consult maps in the game.”
Mr. Fang immediately controlled Kratos to follow his son, Atreus. “Hiss… the creators of the game are very nice!”
Despite the malice that he had felt during the previous battle with the monsters, Mr. Fang now sensed the warmth and consideration of the creators of the game which was different from the lousy games that were full of schemes and didn’t even provide a map.
“This game is totally different from the previous ones. Haha!” By now, Mr. Fang had returned from hunting with Atreus. In God of War 4, Kratos didn’t have godly power, but he had a son who knew the way and warned him of monsters behind him. Kratos could even order his son to join the fight by launching ranged attacks with arrows.
Despite the powerful monsters which had tortured Mr. Fang and almost defeated him at the beginning of the game, the gaming experience right now was much better.
As they walked through the broken cliffs in the mountains, they could see the ruins of this era everywhere. Countless monsters and draugr, collapsed godly palaces, strange wild beasts that they had never seen before… and stone tablets with runes were scattered across the environment.
“Sir… there are many runes!”
“Can we take them?”
Having seen the great power of the rune, Sala and the other elves were excited at the sight of so many runes here.
“It can’t be so easy!” Beside them, St. Hematon and the others dampened their enthusiasm coldly.
“I feel like these runes are trying to tell us something.” Walking to the huge stone tablet, Mr. Fang looked at the words that were emitting faint magic energy.
[Then, do you understand the message on it?] Many people asked with bullet comments.
“…” Mr. Fang’s face darkened, thinking, How could I know?!
But this game had a weird design; do I need to learn the ancient runes to play this game?
What’s wrong with the creators of the God of War 4!?
Controlling Kratos, Mr. Fang was frustrated when he saw this. Then, Kratos’ son, Atheus, walked up and said, “This seems to be a market where the giants trade goods with the gods. I wonder if Odin has been here or not.”
“Ya-! This game…!” Mr. Fang sighed with appreciation, “It’s wonderful to have a son!”
First Elder Hyru who had played God of War series for a long time also said, “Aya! It’s so much more convenient to have a son!”
“I think we can play it later!” Elf Girl Sala said in pleasant surprise.
As a group of clumsy players who enjoyed scenery a lot more, they had been tortured in the game since they always got lost and didn’t know how to solve the riddles, thus having a very negative gaming experience. It would be wonderful for them to have a son to help them fight, solve riddles, and find the way!
“I can do this on livestream!” Su Tianji said in pleasant surprise.
After all, these were Great Elder Su’s weak points while she did her livestream.
After Mr. Fang got off the livestream, Sala and the other elves, the saint-level masters, knights, and assassins all bought this game and began to play.
“Watch my livestream! Watch me!” When Mr. Fang returned to the shop in the evening, he saw Su Tianji doing a livestream. In high spirits, she even invited people like Mr. Fang, Nalan Mingxue, Song Qingfeng, and Xiaoyue to watch it.
Obviously, with the guidance of Kratos’ son, Atreus, she found that God of War 4 was super easy to play.
Due to the recent popularity of God of War 4, even Sala and some other players in Canglan City Shop were watching Su Tianji’s livestream.
[This streamer is super fun! Let’s watch her livestream!] Sala immediately sent a bullet comment.
At this moment, inside Su Tianji’s livestream room.
“Boy! What do these words mean?”
“Boy! Which way shall we go now?!”
“Boy! Hit that monster!”
“Isn’t it awesome?!” She played it smoothly. “The God of War and the son who is about to inherit everything!”
“Huh…” Mr. Fang was stupefied by the scene, and so were the audience in the livestream room!
However, when they hunted after a prey, Kratos and his son got separated.
“…” The livestream room fell silent.
– After a long while –
“Boy! Where are you!? Your father is lost!”
“Boy! Father doesn’t know the words and doesn’t understand the road signs!”
“Boy! Father is no match for this monster-!”
“Come and help me-!”
Mr. Fang’s face darkened as he watched. “It seems like you are playing the game called The God of War and His Illiterate and Humiliating Old Father Who Has No Sense of Direction.”
“Hey-!!!” Su Tianji put down her virtual reality headset and glared at Mr. Fang who was watching her play from behind; she was furious!
