Chapter 674  Human rebellion

Jack was once a regular office worker when he and some of his officemates went out for drinks one day. As they were eating and drinking they were unable to notice that there was no one in the bar except for them. When one of Jack's officemates was going to order some more drinks that was when they noticed that everyone else disappeared.

What came next was similar to what happened to Erste and his group. A New God appeared and told them that he would hunt them down. Unlike Erste and his group, Jack and his officemates were drunk and quickly confronted the so-called New God. That was the beginning of the horror that became Jack's life.

Once they found the New God they started berating and making fun of him as they were still intoxicated and unable to fully understand what was happening. It was at that moment the New God lifted his hand and a spear made of ice pierced one of Jack's officemate.

Seeing the body of their officemate fall in a pool of blood sobered up the drunks rather quickly. All of them were stunned and could not move from where they stood, it was then the New God spoke.

"Run."

The very moment they heard that word it was like they had rockets on their feet as the frozen group started running away at full speed.

The group did everything to survive but it was to no avail as the New God slaughtered them with a big grin on his face. In the end, Jack was the only one left alive, and as he was about ready to accept his death a miracle happened a group of people appeared before him and fought the New God.

The smile on the New God's face turned sour as anger arose from deep within. The power released by the New God became terrifying it was a power that could break the world.

"Damn dogs that dare to bite at their betters!"

Despite the power of the New God being so much more than the humans fighting him it seems like he was at a disadvantage. The coordination of the humans that fought the New God was impeccable, it made it look like the powerful New God was a cornered animal. It was like a lion being harassed by a pack of hyenas. After a while, some sacrifices appeared on the human side, and three people were killed before able to restrain the New God.

After battling for several hours the New God fell barely alive, it was then one of the humans who fought the New God approached Jack and offered him a weapon.

"Let us rebel against the Gods."

It was on that day, Jack killed his first New God and gained the power of mana. After that fateful day, he and the others continued to hunt New Gods and save as many humans as they could. Unfortunately, the amount of people they could save was minimal and many of them had died sacrificing their lives for the cost of rebellion.

For a couple of years, this was the reality Jack lived in, but then it changed as soon as that person joined their rebellion. Nowadays the people in their rebellion rarely die, and their coordination had improved by a lot. Even though they still could not save everyone, they were able to save more than they used to.

...

"It has been a few years now since that person joined and now here we are. Is that what you want to hear?"

Jack spoke to the person who had just beaten him and his two companions. The three of them were kneeling on the floor with their hands up.

"Who is that person who you're talking about?"

"I don't know who that person is, not the name, age, gender, nothing, all I know right now is that person is the leader of the Human rebellion against the Gods."

"So you're following the orders of a person you have never seen or heard from?"

"Yeah orders are relayed by others but they mainly do come from the leader of the rebellion."

"Huh, how could you follow someone you have never directly seen before?"

"You understand? Before that person came, the rebellion was nothing more than a wish, a hope that we could somehow defeat the Gods, but in truth, we were doing a laughable, futile rebellion. We gained power beyond any human being but even with that power, it takes several of us to take down a New God, and in exchange, we only gain one new ally. We lose many and only gain a few. It was obvious if we kept going the way we did, the rebellion would eventually disappear."

Jack who had his arms raised clenched them as he gnashed his teeth. Remembering those horrible days made him feel a myriad of things, regret, hate, anger, and strongest of all sorrow.

"When that person appeared I heard no one believed in what that person was trying to do. Of course, no one would've listened to some newcomer that knew nothing, but after a few missions, it was said that person was able to finish each mission with no one dying. It was a miracle that no one expected to happen. It was then slowly but surely one by one the people within the rebellion started following that person until that person became our leader. Now members of the rebellion dying in missions became a rarity."

Jack then stared into Erste's eyes and spoke the next words with passion.

"That person not only led us to more victories, but that person also gave us hope. Now rebelling against the Gods isn't only a dream a hopeless wish, but something that can truly happen. That person showed us that we can pull down the Gods from their thrones."

"I see... So if we join your little rebellion will we be able to meet your leader?" Erste asked after listening to Jack's story.

"No the only ones who can speak to the leader directly are the ones who have proven themselves worthy."

"... Then how can I prove myself worthy?"

"How else, of course, it's by killing the Gods."
