Anime Crossover: Unparalleled Comprehension, Shocking the Star God

Upon hearing this, the entire white space fell silent.

After a few seconds.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

The God of War let out a series of wild, unrestrained laughs.

"As expected of the strong one who defeated me head-on and snatched victory from my hands! That's right, that's the kind of spirit you need to have to be a demon king!"

"As expected of my child, he has ambition!"

Pandora, standing to the side, also had her eyes shining, clenching her fists in front of her chest, looking every bit the fangirl.

If Su Mo hadn't rejected her before, given her personality, she probably would have hugged him right away.

Upon hearing Pandora's voice, Vereslana immediately spoke to her.

"Witch! Quickly activate the Pandora Dark Ritual! I never expected that my first defeated opponent would win me so completely. Since that's the case, as the war god of the Zoroastrian Church, I cannot be stingy!"

"As the loser, I will entrust my true strength as a prize to the victor!"

"Activate the Grand Secret Instrument immediately!"

After speaking in this way, Vereslana then left a final message to Su Mo with a tone full of admiration.

"Take my power and ascend to the peak you desire, hero from another world! I will be waiting for you in the realm of the gods, hoping you will grow to the point where you can stand against the gods alone. I really want to know what expressions the gods will have on their faces then, hahahaha!"

After the laughter subsided, Vereslana's voice completely disappeared.

Su Mo wanted to ask a follow-up question, but it was too late to ask what the so-called "true power" was.

However, judging from his expression, it would probably be pointless to ask.

Riddlers are a major obstacle to the flow of knowledge.

024 The Ring of Usurpation, the Ritual of the Godslayer's Reincarnation

Grand Secret Ritual, activate!

Upon hearing Vereslana's words, Pandora immediately began the ceremony with great excitement.

Veleslana is not a Steel God, so Pandora doesn't particularly hate him, but they also don't have much interaction.

There is only one reason why they would cooperate with Vereslana this time.

—For the sake of my disobedient new child.

"The true power of the God of War sounds incredible! Hurry, the ceremony is about to begin!"

Pandora immediately grabbed Su Mo's hand and urged him to sit down next to her, saying it was necessary for the ceremony.

Although he could tell it was a lie, Su Mo did not refuse this time.

Firstly, because he had confirmed that Pandora was completely non-hostile.

Secondly, he still had questions to ask.

For example--

"Do you know what power Vereslana was talking about?"

Su Mo asked in confusion.

"do not know!"

Pandora shook her head with an air of self-righteousness.

"..."

Su Mo was speechless.

I didn't know you were so excited?

"Hey! Anyway, the God of War doesn't lie, so if he says it's good stuff, it must be something good!"

Pandora stuck out her tongue, looking very happy for Su Mo.

"Ok."

Su Mo shook his head, putting the question aside for the time being.

As for powers and abilities, you'll understand them naturally after the ceremony; there's no need to rush.

But what he cared about more was something else entirely.

"Is this the core divine artifact of the Godslayer Reincarnation Ritual?"

Su Mo's gaze quickly fell on the steel disc in Pandora's hand.

The center of the steel disc is carved with an ancient dragon head, surrounded by eight long swords.

"That's right!"

Upon hearing Su Mo ask this, Pandora immediately puffed out her chest triumphantly.

"This divine artifact is called the Ring of Usurpation! It took me over a thousand years to find this thing, and then another thousand years to design the Godslayer Reincarnation Ritual!"

"It is precisely because of this divine artifact that my children will be able to become god-slayers who can rival the gods!"

As she said this, recalling the scene of Su Mo's battle that she had seen before, Pandora added another sentence.

"Hmm! Your special case, where you can defeat a god head-on before even killing him, doesn't count!"

At this moment, the Ring of Usurpation was radiating divine light in all directions. After completely absorbing all of Veleslana's power, this divine artifact officially began the transfer of its authority.

As he sensed the magical fluctuations during the ritual, hundreds of thousands of models rapidly began to run in Su Mo's mind.

With Su Mo's comprehension, he only needs to observe the whole process, and this great secret ritual will have no secrets in his eyes.

However, if you just want to understand this secret ritual, there is actually a simpler way right now.

For example--

"Pandora, could you explain the principles behind the reincarnation technique?"

"Remember to call me Mom!"

After correcting her with a slight pout, Pandora looked up at Su Mo.

"An explanation is possible! But even if you explain it, you'll most likely forget it after you leave, unless your mind has reached a state of enlightenment, otherwise you won't remember anything."

Clearly, Pandora had no intention of hiding anything.

Having watched Su Mo's battle scenes, she knew that Su Mo was very interested in mythological spells.

However, if you can forget what you said, then there's no point in explaining.

For anyone else, this explanation would have been enough, but since the person in question was Su Mo, Pandora carefully examined him before confirming the details.

"While it's unlikely that an enlightened person would become a god-slayer, even I can't see through your situation. Do you think you can remember it?"

“If the enlightenment you’re talking about refers to seeing one’s true nature, then I have no problem with it.”

Su Mo nodded calmly.

In the original crossover anime world, almost all other mystical methods of rest were ineffective, except for those based on mental constitution.

Therefore, Su Mo has achieved some small success in this regard.

However, considering that enlightenment in medical terms seems to be the same symptom as schizophrenia, Su Mo did not delve too deeply into it.

In any case, it's certainly enough to handle the current small situation.

"You're worthy of being my child!"

Pandora had no doubts about Su Mo's words.

"Doesn't that mean you won't forget your mother even after you leave?"

Thinking of this, Pandora became completely excited.

After all these years, this is the only child who still remembers her after leaving home.

"Ah."

"Great! Long live Little Su Mo!"

Seeing Su Mo nod, Pandora couldn't help but hug him.

It's clear that she's very lonely spending her days in this empty room and longs for someone to remember her.

Su Mo didn't reject Pandora's advances too much, but he still punished her for not discussing serious matters.

"boom!"

"Waaah~ Don't you dare bully Mommy!"

With one hand rubbing her slightly aching head, Pandora scolded her playfully before earnestly beginning to explain the construction details of the Godslayer Reincarnation Ritual.

Su Mo already had some understanding of the Godslayer Reincarnation Ritual, and after listening to her explanation, he quickly grasped the principle.

The origin of this ritual is related to the large-scale replacement of the matriarchal clan's earth goddess by the steel hero god of the patriarchal clan during the mythological era.

Since humans mastered fire and smelted iron from the earth, the fighting power of patriarchal clans increased significantly, while the survival probability of matriarchal clans gradually decreased. This natural succession is reflected in mythology as the legend that the steel hero defeated the earth goddess and stripped her of her power and authority, making her his subordinate.

As a consequence of their defeat, the Earth Mother Goddess is naturally depicted as an evil dragon and serpent, while the Steel God appears as a hero.

As the victor, the Steel Hero God not only boasts of his own power, but also takes back the power of the defeated in various ways.

In this situation, the authority that originally belonged to the Earth Mother Goddess was largely usurped and transferred to the Steel Hero God, who was the victor.

Steel, born from the earth, possesses the power to extract the earth's essence and seize the authority of the Earth Mother Goddess.

For the Earth Mother Goddess, this was naturally a great disgrace.

At that time, the overly warlike Steel Hero God was also a great disaster for humanity.

Having witnessed this situation, Pandora went through great hardships to find the divine artifact that the God of Steel used to usurp the power of the Earth Mother Goddess. After being modified, it became the God-Slaying Grand Mystic Ritual we know today.

Just as the Steel Hero God was able to seize the authority of the Earth Mother Goddess, the Godslayer can also use this to usurp the authority of the gods.

This is probably a kind of karmic cycle.
