Yet the God of War remained disdainful. "Useless. A suppressed Heracles—what threat could you possibly pose?"
He casually swung his weapon to deflect it.
But to his utter shock, the arrow carried terrifying force, instantly knocking his weapon aside and piercing straight through his chest!
The venom of the monstrous Hydra spread relentlessly through his body.
The God of War blinked in surprise, then shook his head. "You truly are strong! But unfortunately, I've long since become a mechanical being. Your so-called venom is meaningless to me!"
He is now a mechanical body, so-called venom only works on flesh and blood!
However, the demigod hero Heracles, without going berserk, truly possesses divine-level combat power—worthy of the Pantheon's desperate efforts to suppress him!
Buzz~
The summoning channel was forcibly closed by the God of War.
The God of War leisurely observed the two lolis: "Relax, I won't harm you. After all, I still need you to lure out Nameless!"
That man who walks through human history, bearing infinite secrets—his value far surpasses even Heracles!
"You dare set foot on China's territory? Aren't you afraid of sparking war between our nations?" Illya calmly stared at him.
"War? I am the God of War!"
The God of War found it increasingly amusing.
Who dares accuse the judge?
As the God of War, he had always longed for the two nations to clash, to storm the Epang Palace and annihilate Qin Shi Huang!
That emperor had provoked them for far too long!
The God of War grinned cruelly at the two: "Seems like I'll need to hurt you first to lure out Nameless. Choose—who loses an arm?"
His time was limited.
If he lingered too long, China would surely detect him.
By then, hundreds of Heroic Spirits would arrive, effortlessly defeating—or even killing—him!
He had to act swiftly!
"Don't bother. Even if you kill me, I won't call for my brother!" Miyu replied icily.
The enemy had brought an arsenal of the most advanced weapons from the United States, clearly setting a trap for her brother.
If he came, he'd be dragged into danger.
"Then I'll start by taking your arm!"
The God of War strode forward.
Two prodigy magicians were nothing but fish on a chopping board before a true god.
Whoosh!
At that moment, another arrow suddenly shot from behind.
The God of War effortlessly dodged it.
Then—
He bared his teeth in a savage grin. "Nameless, you've finally come!"
"Pathetic false god. If you want trouble, come at me directly!" Nameless growled with murderous intent.
The Pantheon of the United States was nothing but a pack of traitors who had sided with extraterrestrial invaders.
He had planned to deal with them after recovering his strength, but they struck first.
"Brother, don't come closer! It's a trap!" Miyu shouted in warning.
"Don't worry. I've got this."
Nameless nodded.
The enemy had deliberately leaked divine energy—of course he was prepared.
"No wonder we could never find you. You possess Hades' Cap of Invisibility!" The God of War studied him with interest.
As the inheritor of the Greek God of War, he instantly recognized the artifact—Hades' divine tool, granting powerful invisibility.
BOOM!
Countless runes around them suddenly flared, unleashing torrents of mana.
They formed intricate patterns, rapidly spreading in all directions, attempting to drag Nameless—standing at the gap in the bounded field—into the trap!
That gap had been designed specifically for him.
The God of War smirked. "Too bad, useless, useless! A cripple like you stands no chance against me!"
He strode forward aggressively, intent on defeating his opponent outright.
"Truly, a tiger fallen to the plains is bullied by dogs!"
Nameless sighed softly.
If he were in his complete form, unbroken in spiritual foundation, would he ever care about some mere false god?
Fortunately, he still had one last move.
His eyes suddenly turned a dazzling gold, and behind him, the massive phantom of a golden divine dragon emerged—
A fragment of the Authority of the Dragon of Human Order, bestowed upon him by Qin Shi Huang—
[Platinum Dragon!]
"World, stand still!"
At that moment, the entire world abruptly slowed, nearly grinding to a halt.
Even the two worried little girls froze in place, their expressions turning blank as if they had become lifeless dolls.
In an instant, Nameless projected a massive two-handed sword into his grip—
[Azrael]
In his eyes, the world seemed to fade into monochrome—black and white.
Upon the frozen War God's body, countless points and lines symbolizing [Death] became visible.
After the exposure of the two Singularities, Nameless's power had grown even further.
His time-stop ability had extended from a mere 0.5 seconds to a full 5 seconds!
The world stood still.
Nameless swung his greatsword, slashing viciously toward his enemy.
But then—
An anomaly erupted.
The War God, who should have been frozen, suddenly arched backward at an impossible angle, narrowly evading the fatal strike!
The frozen time shattered in that instant, resuming its flow.
The War God sneered. "With your crippled body, you can't truly stop time! This trick is useless against a god!"
HUM—
Countless magical runes blazed to life.
[Divine Domain] expanded in an instant, swallowing Nameless whole!
The two vanished abruptly from Illya and Miyu's sight.
"What do we do? What do we do?!" Illya panicked.
That was a genuine god—was he really going to lose?
"We have to call for help—now!"
Miyu acted decisively, grabbing her hand and sprinting out of the manor.
The one she sought help from was naturally the one still remaining in Fuyuki City—
Qin Shi Huang!
After the previous video Vow in the Snow was exposed, she had managed to obtain Qin Shi Huang's contact information.
All she needed to do was leave this sealed space, and she could directly reach out to him!
Meanwhile, in Fuyuki Magecraft Academy.
Merlin, who was secretly watching the battle, shook her head. "As expected, Nameless in his crippled state is no match for the God of War!"
"Oh, so is he going to die? Should we step in and save him?"
Tamamo-no-Mae was a bit startled.
Nameless hadn't been completely conquered by her yet—how could he possibly fall before someone else?
Without hesitation, she prepared to intervene.
After all, this was China's territory.
If they could just hold out a little longer, they could mobilize a whole army of Heroic Spirits to surround and annihilate the God of War!
Nameless was her prey—no one else was allowed to take him away!
"Not yet."
Merlin calmly shook her head.
She didn't believe that Nameless could be killed by some mere false god.
Back then, she had underestimated the crippled Nameless, only for him to effortlessly shatter her illusionary world.
And then he had forced her to drink the Nyannia Spring, turning her into this ridiculous state.
What a cunning and vicious man!
Merlin wiped the illusory screen before her, allowing the live feed—previously blocked by the True God's Domain barrier—to reappear before the two of them.
This was a bounded field similar to Unlimited Blade Works.
As it fully expanded and enclosed the space, Illya and Miyu were completely freed.
Only Nameless had been dragged into the domain by the God of War.
"Tch. It's always Nameless pulling others into his Reality Marble—now it's his turn to be dragged into one!" Merlin couldn't help but smirk.
Time and again, he had deployed his Reality Marble to counter and slay one powerful foe after another.
From the chuunibyou King of Heroes at the start, to Angelica, the Lion King, and others—it was practically his signature move.
But now.
The God of War, lying in wait, had long since set a trap to drag him straight into his domain!
Under the two's watch, within the bounded field—
Before Nameless could even steady himself—
The God of War slammed a fist forward with brutal force: "So just die already!"
Within the True God's Domain, his combat power surged wildly.
A single punch from him could shatter a mountain!
Layers of purple petals manifested—seven in total—forming a barrier before Nameless.
Crack! Crack!
Under the God of War's domain-enhanced might, Rho Aias stood no chance.
In the blink of an eye, all seven layers of defense were shattered!
Snap!
Even the two-handed greatsword Azrael in Nameless' grip was effortlessly destroyed.
The God of War's fists might look like flesh, but they were in fact genuine steel machinery!
His eyes burned with bloodlust, an endless tide of slaughter and brutality erupting from him: "Die, Nameless!"
Boom!
The God of War's roar was a soul-shaking, bestial howl.
Under its force, Nameless felt his entire body shudder, as if paralyzed, unable to move.
Seeing his opponent charge again, he had no choice but to force himself to evade.
"As expected… I still haven't recovered enough."
Nameless wiped the blood from his lips, feeling a deep sense of helplessness.
If I could just regain my full power—
No, even a tenth of my strength would be enough to annihilate you!
The Pantheon clearly intended to strike while he was weak, to take him down and turn him into a lab rat for dissection.
"Hahaha, Nameless—you're nothing special after all!" The God of War sneered in contempt.
Before coming here, the gods had all been worried that their opponent had various hidden cards up their sleeve.
They had meticulously prepared layers of defensive equipment for him.
One of these was what had previously allowed him to evade the time-stopping attack.
Now it seemed their opponent was truly crippled, with no signs of recovery.
The God of War grinned savagely: "Nameless, you're pathetically weak now!"
"Enkidu, I'll need your help!"
Nameless sighed softly, forced to play another hidden card.
He had originally wanted to let Enkidu rest longer after just recovering.
But now, there was no choice.
Hum~
At Nameless's call, the belt around his waist suddenly erupted in golden radiance, transforming into a gleaming golden chain.
Unlike his projected replicas, this was the real Chains of Heaven, capable of binding even gods!
"As you wish."
Enkidu remained calm.
[True Divine Domain] should have expelled her, leaving only Nameless behind.
However.
Enkidu had transformed herself into a Noble Phantasm attached to Nameless, not counting as an additional life form, thus avoiding expulsion by the Reality Marble.
Clatter~
Countless golden chains instantly reached the God of War, binding him layer by layer.
The true Chains of Heaven, when willing to sacrifice themselves, could even seal the Primordial Mother Goddess momentarily!
Outside the bounded field.
Merlin, watching the video feed, nodded: "So it really is the true Chains of Heaven, Enkidu!"
"So Alaya exposed these videos to help Nameless gradually regain his strength?" Tamamo-no-Mae frowned deeply.
It was obvious that Nameless was now more than twice as strong as when he had beaten her.
"You could say that!"
Merlin also nodded with lingering fear.
He remembered that before being drowned by gender-reversal potion, Nameless had been far from this powerful.
Back then, it took all his effort just to break through Merlin's illusions.
Now, he could face the God of War head-on, forcing the deity to deploy Noble Phantasm after Noble Phantasm.
Clatter~
Under the entanglement of these chains, the God of War's body was completely restrained, unable to move.
However,
A second God of War stepped out from behind the bound one!
A divine-level clone!
He smiled even more brightly: "Nameless, did you think we wouldn't have countermeasures?"
Previously, to deal with Nameless's god-slaying Chains of Heaven,
After thorough research by the council, the gods each contributed power, allowing the [God of Fire and Forging] to create this clone for him.
The clone would handle the Chains' binding while the true body struck the killing blow!
The Chains of Heaven could at most forcibly restrain one divine-level being, incapable of binding more simultaneously.
"Let me show you my true form!" the God of War snarled.
Crack~ Crack~ Crack~
The God of War's originally two-meter-tall burly frame began emanating endless blood mist.
This formed layers of crimson armor covering his surface, causing his body to expand at an absurdly rapid rate.
In the blink of an eye, the humanoid God of War disappeared.
In his place, stood a massive crimson mech dozens of meters tall, its purple eyes brimming with endless killing intent as it coldly stared down at the tiny Nameless before it.
The Crimson God of War Descends!
"You've actually reached this point?" Nameless looked at his opponent with complex emotions.
Back when the Twelve Olympians were defeated by the White Titan, they had completely abandoned their mechanical bodies, transforming into native Greek deities.
Now, America had truly managed to unleash the power of those discarded remnants.
Just one final step, and he would possess combat power on par with a true Supreme God.
What was even more terrifying was that all other deities were rejected by Alaya, unable to descend freely.
Even if they did descend, the vast majority of their power would be suppressed.
But these mecha deities, controlled by humans, were completely unaffected by Alaya's suppression—free to unleash their full might!
They were practically BUG-like existences!
"Hahaha, this is my ultimate form!"
The War God in mecha form boomed with a metallic voice, roaring at his opponent, "This time, you're dead for sure! Not even God can save you—I said so!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The massive crimson War God strode forward, radiating unimaginable terror and intimidation.
However...
The surrounding space suddenly froze.
The charging War God felt an overwhelming force, vast as an ocean, crashing down upon him.
In an instant, the entire domain space was suppressed.
This was supposed to be his own Reality Marble, his absolute dominion—yet in this moment, it felt as if ownership had been forcibly seized!
"Impossible!!!"
The War God screamed inwardly.
He had been just one punch away from critically wounding—or even killing—his foe.
But now, what stood before him felt like an abyss of pure terror.
One step forward, and you would be torn apart by unimaginably immense power!
Even the mighty God of War, who had always advanced without retreat, couldn't help but take several steps back, staring ahead in disbelief.
A figure had silently appeared within the [True God's Domain], her crimson-violet cross-shaped pupils calmly gazing at the man opposite her—Nameless!
