Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki

Frankly speaking, this Demon King's personality is quite good among all the God Slayers.

After all, God Slayers can already be considered a species that transcends humanity.

Their position in the world is like that of emperors in ancient times, possessing absolutely invincible power, which naturally creates these Demon Kings' tyrannical and arrogant personalities.

An emperor's wrath brings corpses for thousands of miles; this saying is often reflected in the God Slayers.

This is not an exaggeration at all.

Compared to other God Slayers, this Sword King is much better.

Because in his eyes, only battle is something that can arouse his interest. As for the rest, such as occasionally being offended or having his territory snatched, he doesn't care at all.

In short, working under this person, you definitely don't have to worry about suddenly saying the wrong thing one day and having your head chopped off.

However, he also has great shortcomings.

Not being interested in anything else is sometimes an advantage, but sometimes it's a disadvantage.

For example, now, when they need this Sword King, they can't contact him at all, and can only watch the Disobedient God wreak havoc here.

"Should I, go and gamble?"

Liliana bit her lip tightly with her teeth, not caring even when she had already bitten through the skin and blood was flowing out.

In fact, besides asking a God Slayer to come and save the day, there is another way to stop the Disobedient God.

That is to give birth to a new God Slayer.

However, what a crazy idea that is.

After all, the way to become a God Slayer is so difficult that it is simply impossible to achieve.

That is to kill the Disobedient God head-on in battle and usurp the Authority from the Disobedient God's hands.

Throughout history, how many magicians who were confident in their magic level, who thought they could challenge the Disobedient God, who thought they could become a God Slayer, have challenged the Disobedient God.

However, the ending is always death and the dissipation of their souls.

Challenging a Disobedient God is an impossible thing.

Especially those who deliberately go to challenge a Disobedient God.

Those who can become God Slayers can only succeed with great luck and under coincidences in near-perfect circumstances.

Can someone like her really do it?

"Go."

After hesitating for only a few seconds, the girl made a decision in her heart.

Regardless of whether her ability can do it, regardless of her life, she just can't sit idly by and watch this continue to happen.

At least she has to try.

...

"It's time to end this."

Athena conjured a jet-black scythe with her divine power again, pointing it at Ederweiss.

In her heart, she had already acknowledged this woman's strength.

It seems like she's in good shape right now, but in reality, she's almost been drained dry.

She also knows that her current situation is very dangerous.

For God Slayers and Disobedient Gods, the relationship between their strengths is actually a contest of Authorities.

Mutually restraining Authorities and hiding information are the keys to victory.

She has been very restrained in not using her other Authorities, after all, she has more than one enemy to face.

There is also an even more terrifying man beside her who has not yet entered the stage.

However, her blood of the War God is already boiling.

Now is not the time to look ahead and behind; all she needs is one thing.

--Victory!

"Existing living beings, stop all movement! Kneel before me! What is suitable for you is this cold stillness; this is the grace bestowed by a woman."

Athena's pupils calmed down.

Like eyes filled with darkness, encompassing everything in their field of vision, she coldly looked at Haramura Makoto and Ederweiss.

"Petrification."

Haramura Makoto watched the gray color extending upwards from Ederweiss's feet, the color of stone.

Stone, stone, stone, stone, stone.

Everything that entered the goddess's sight gradually turned into stone.

The ground she stepped on turned into stone, the crumbling stone houses turned into stone, the swaying seaside turned into stone, the lush trees also turned into stone, and even a part of the seawater on the coastline turned into stone.

This is the most famous legend of Medusa: anyone who looks directly at her face will be deprived of life and turned into stone.

Athena's current Authority is sublimated from this legend.

Except for Haramura Makoto.

"You actually resisted my Authority."

Athena's unwavering eyes, which had been calm from the beginning until now, finally showed a trace of fluctuation.

Authority failing is not something that cannot happen.

It has already been said before that Authorities also have restraining relationships. Perhaps some Disobedient Gods or God Slayers have Authorities that restrain the petrification Authority, which is all within Athena's consideration.

However, the current situation is not like that.

The problem now is that when her Authority is used on this man, it is being resisted.

"An Authority like yours, fundamentally speaking, is a contest of the quality and thickness of divine power."

"As long as it is divine power of the same level as yours, or weaker than yours, it cannot resist the invasion of your Authority."

Haramura Makoto moved.

While explaining to Athena, he took a step and instantly arrived at Ederweiss's side.

"Coincidentally, the level of my power should be a bit higher than yours."

Haramura Makoto, who had arrived at Ederweiss's side, chuckled and reached out to press on Ederweiss's shoulder.

"This world and the Little Garden are still a bit similar."

"The real strong are ultimately fighting against each other's Authorities."

"Whoever masters more powerful Authorities, whoever masters more Authorities, their strength will be stronger."

"You need to gradually get used to this battle mode."

Golden magic power flowed from Haramura Makoto's palm into Ederweiss's body, flowing through Ederweiss's veins to her whole body.

Its effect was also very obvious, as it was as refreshing as a hot knife through butter for Athena's petrification curse.

The petrification curse wrapped around her was directly bounced away, and she regained her freedom.

"I'm sorry."

The first thing Ederweiss said after regaining her freedom was this.

That's what she thought in her heart.

Because her declaration of certain victory had been broken.

She clearly still had a newly researched move, a swordsmanship that was enough to surpass the Twin Wings.

But before she could use it, she was defeated due to the difference in information.

How could she not feel guilty about this?

"It's okay."

"How about it, do you want to continue?"

Yawning, Haramura Makoto stood in front of Ederweiss and asked casually.

"Forget it, leave it to you."

Ederweiss shook her head lightly and took a step back, expressing her attitude.

"How about it, do you want to continue?"

The same words were spoken again from Haramura Makoto's mouth, but the target had changed.

"You're really full of confidence."

Athena forced herself to calm down, but in this situation, there was no value in winning. As the Goddess of Wisdom, Athena's reason was constantly persuading her to leave.

"Dying in battle is my glory; how could I possibly run away from the battlefield..."

The scythe in Athena's hand disappeared, and a simple, silver bow appeared in the goddess's hand.

Drawing the bow and nocking an arrow, as a War God, any of Athena's martial arts skills are superior to those of humans.

Now she is about to brew her strongest strike.

"Looks like you want to resist."

"Then let me show you what you, as a goddess of darkness, hate the most."

As if deliberately making things difficult for this silver-haired goddess, Haramura Makoto raised his left hand.

From above the clouds, even though it was night, at this moment, a ray of light shone down.

It was the sun.

The scorching sun burned fiercely, parting the thick dark clouds, bringing light and warmth to the pitch-black world.

Light and heat are precisely what the goddess of death and darkness hates the most.

"Tch..."

Athena raised her head, looking at the scene in the sky.

--This is a magical scene that completely violates common sense.

In the darkness that sealed all light, the eastern sky began to burn.

Mixed with violent wind and rain, the light of dawn completely dyed the eastern sky red.

"Use all your strength, Athena."

With a condescending tone, Haramura Makoto's raised left hand fell suddenly.

From the distant eastern sky, ultra-high-temperature flames instantly fell onto the sea.

Athena released the bowstring she had been holding tight, and the golden arrow shot out instantly, and the silver longbow quickly transformed into Athena's strongest defense, the snake-headed shield.

In an instant, water vapor, lightning, and flames illuminated the sky of Milan, like a world-famous painting, with the silver-haired goddess, as pure as a white lotus in the midst of water and fire, swaying within it.

"The true form of the gods in this world should be very strong."

Ederweiss's admiring voice rang in Haramura Makoto's ear.

She had thought that Athena would be instantly defeated just now, after all, even she would have difficulty resisting such an attack in her current state.

But Athena in this state could still forcibly squeeze her divine power, transforming it into a dark shield to envelop her body and protect her.

"The sun can dispel darkness, but darkness can also devour light."

"Just like water can freeze into ice, and ice can also melt into water, this is an unchanging truth."

"Don't underestimate me too much."

Sunset represents the light being dispelled, and the night will rule the sky.

This is the reason why Athena can temporarily resist Haramura Makoto's sunset attack.

But!

Haramura Makoto's attack is not just a one-time burst attack; it is a continuous, sustained attack.

What Athena is enduring now is only the initial stage.
