Do you think this method can defeat me?! King Melqart!
The young man, wielding two golden gears that kill gods, spoke with an angry voice; he was the invincible God of War, but those two rods made him feel the aura of defeat.
"The golden sword that cuts divine power and cuts divinity".
As the two gods were fighting, Kaido was also observing their battle from nearby.
And upon seeing the golden sword in the young man's hand, his pupils contracted slightly.
Having read the original work, he knew that the golden sword was the most powerful weapon among Verethragna's authorities; it was a power that, as long as one knew the opponent's mythology, could seal their divinity or even directly defeat a heretic god.
If he could obtain the golden sword, his path to becoming a Godslayer in the future would certainly be easier.
If nothing unexpected happened, Verethragna would undoubtedly be the one laughing last.
But Kaido had no intention of waiting for him to kill Melqart before intervening.
Defeat them both at the same time and you'll obtain two authorities.
"Oh?"
At that moment, Melqart and Verethragna stopped at the same time.
Although they were in the midst of battle, as powerful heretic gods, even a small amount of magical power could be felt.
Moreover, that magical power was not weak, on the contrary, it grew stronger as the distance shortened.
It even reached a point where it made the two gods stop and have to pause to observe.
Is a third party intervening? Will another god be freed from the bonds of mythology?
Verethragna murmured to himself, his beautiful and neutral face slightly distorted, feeling an instinctive discomfort towards that approaching magical power.
Although he was a heretic god, he was still a God of War who protected light and justice, so this new magical power seemed as evil and dark as an evil god.
The powerful body of Melqart and the young god turned simultaneously in the direction where the magical power appeared.
The black-haired young man, dressed in casual clothes, stood on the ruined earth; normally, as masters of magical power, they wouldn't even glance at humans, but the human in front of them could no longer be ignored.
Verethragna frowned slightly: "I didn't expect to draw out a devil king from the earth".
As heretic gods, they had an instinctive sense for godslayers.
Heretic gods and humans could be distinguished at a glance.
And Kaido had recently killed Typhon and become a Godslayer; it wasn't because he was very famous, but due to the ritual established by Pandora.
Because there was a fundamental difference between the magical power of heretic gods and that of godslayers.
"It seems that the war between you and me was too intense and attracted a devil king human".
After frowning, the young god showed a calm smile towards Melqart.
He was the invincible God of War; the law of "victory" was already inscribed in Verethragna's divinity, so no matter what kind of powerful enemy he faced, he would believe he would achieve victory.
Even with a godslayer added, the result was the same for him.
"Hmph! Little human brat! Although you have the aura of a godslayer, you've just been born!"
Melqart's body floated in the air, hidden among the black storm clouds that constantly flashed, and the strong winds also caused terrible whirlwinds.
—Little godslayer, leave quickly; the great King of the Gods won't direct his anger at you today!
Melqart's voice was full of an imposing power, his tone as powerful as the storm that swirled.
It doesn't matter if I've just been born; what's important is that you two will become my food today. Don't underestimate the "little brat" you're talking about, or you might die.
Facing the direct gazes of Verethragna and Melqart, Kaido remained unperturbed.
These heretic gods were certainly arrogant and conceited, but as a godslayer, he would never lose to them in terms of imposing presence.
After all, everything can be lost, but prestige must not be lost.
Although you're a devil king of the earth, provoking me and King Melqart at the same time is a genuine foolishness. In this situation, defeat will be your destiny!
Verethragna sighed and his tone changed from soft to increasingly contemptuous.
"I don't care if I win or not, it's not your concern!"
Kaido knew that he definitely couldn't win a war of words against these experts, so he stopped saying nonsense and instantly materialized the True Longinus using the Witch's Book.
The holy lance that was rumored to have pierced Jesus, preserving the last will of the God of the Bible.
"Balance Breaker!"
A crepuscular light shone on the lance, instantly covering Kaido's entire body and transforming into a golden armor that enveloped the young man, with magical power similar to a flame rising from the surface of his body.
Kaido didn't believe that after his intervention, these two heretic gods would be so kind as to engage in a three-way fight.
Godslayers and heretic gods were mortal enemies, and combined with their previous taunts, it was enough to make Verethragna and Melqart direct their attention towards him.
Great devil king, unleash your anger on the gods! At the same time, the authority obtained by killing Typhon was activated instantly, and a terrifying and malignant magical power concentrated in the palm of Kaido's hand, while a cold and sinister aura began to spread rapidly over the burned earth.
The fierce wind howled and the burned earth gradually turned into soft sand.
Suddenly, a massive magical power was released, and three terrifying and ferocious monsters emerged from the void.
The Nine-Headed Hydra spewed highly corrosive breath from its mouth; everything it touched on the way melted into acid.
Cerberus, the three-headed hellhound with snake hair and lion claws, spat out blazing flames from its three heads.
The Sphinx, with a human head, lion body, eagle wings, and snake tail, advanced with its sturdy physique.
The targets of these three monsters summoned by Kaido were all Melqart.
The monsters of the evil god and the hero god Melqart quickly became entangled.
"Auge-!"
The gods and divine beasts clashed in a fierce battle, and the terrifying shockwaves destroyed the earth; the black clouds were torn apart by Hydra's breath, while Melqart continuously struck Hydra's body with his magical rods.
The three-headed hellhound bit into the thigh of the King of the Gods, ferociously tearing it, while the Sphinx fought with Melqart's other arm.
Melqart was temporarily entangled, which allowed Kaido to deal completely with Verethragna during this time.
The power of the Lord of Strength flowed rapidly through Kaido's entire body; Kaido, holding the True Longinus, let out a low growl, transforming into a golden halo and charging towards Verethragna.
"Auge-!"
God and godslayer clashed, and the contact between the golden sword and the golden lance immediately caused terrifying shockwaves, with cracks in the earth extending for thousands of meters, and Verethragna also let out a muffled sound, his body constantly retreating.
"Auge-!"
The first round of confrontation between the godslayer and the god won the game.
The halo that Kaido transformed into forced Verethragna's body to retreat, and the young man, after a stifled groan, touched his face, where a vivid red mark appeared; the invincible God of War, Verethragna, was injured.
"Ugh... To think that you could injure me".
Verethragna's beautiful face contorted in irritation.
However, as he was angry, Kaido's next attack came in an instant.
The holy lance, burning with golden flames, pierced the atmosphere, creating a strong air current under the rain, and the authority and the godslayer equipment gave him immense power, forming a golden vortex at the tip of the lance, distorting the nearby space.
Then, Kaido, firmly grasping the holy lance, aimed the tip of the lance at Verethragna's heart and charged forward.
The most powerful godslayer equipment, bathed in Jesus' blood, was much sharper than Verethragna's golden sword; even before contact, the young god felt a piercing pain on his skin.
In the midst of the howling storm and the fierce flames, Verethragna's expression froze, and he quickly put his golden sword over his chest, barely blocking the impact of the holy lance.
"Chakram!"
Without hesitation, in the next second, Kaido activated the special ability of the holy lance, and the tip of the lance immediately bloomed with a sharp and golden light.
A ball of light shone behind Kaido and disappeared; in the next instant, the holy lance released a powerful impact, and the overflowing golden light shattered the golden sword; the divine sword that could cut divinity was thus shattered into pieces.
And not only that, the golden light continued its momentum, striking Verethragna in his stunned expression, opening a bloody hole in the body of the young heretic god.
The blood of the evil god flowed continuously, and this scene seemed like the end of the world to Erica and Liliana's eyes.
The two Princess Knights, whom Kaido had warned to stay away from the area, were observing the battle between the god and the godslayer remotely using predictive magic.
The storm continued to rage; the three monsters summoned by Kaido were still entangled with Melqart, but Hydra, which originally had nine heads, had four torn off, the three-headed dog also lost a head, and the Sphinx's body showed large areas of cracks.
After all, what was summoned by a single authority was only an ordinary divine beast; for humans, their existence was a harmless natural disaster, but for heretic gods, they were at most stronger beasts.
Although Melqart also had severe damage to his body, his bones were not injured.
It was only a matter of time before the hero god won the war against the demons.
On the other side, Verethragna, dazed by Kaido's combo and spitting blood while clutching his chest, let out a roar of pain and anger.
The black boar charged towards the earth, making the already ruined city even more chaotic; the target of the divine beast was Kaido, but its movements were extremely agile, and the huge boar couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes.
The divine blood continued to flow, and this scene seemed like the end of the world to Erica and Liliana's eyes.
