Nearly eighty giants rushed towards Morpheus, but the gods were stunned by Morpheus's performance at the moment, and for a moment they were unable to react and stop these giants.
The first person to react was Medea, the girl who had almost focused all her attention on Morpheus.
"Morpheus, be careful!" she shouted and immediately began to cast spells, trying to use attacks to stop the giants rushing over, but her attacks obviously had no effect.
Artemis also raised her bow and arrow, but even though she could use arrows to attack, she could only stop a few giants. There were too many giants swarming over at this time, and it was difficult to stop them all.
For the gods who finally reacted, it was too late. Zeus condensed lightning, and even though the lightning was very fast, the best time for rescue had been missed during the process of his use!
If we were to ask who was the calmest person at this moment, it would be Hecate. She remembered very clearly how exaggerated the protective power of Morpheus' clothes was. These giants obviously could not have any impact on him.
Seeing Hecate so calm, Athena, who was originally extremely nervous, also calmed down. She felt that Morpheus must have some hidden cards.
"boom!"
The terrifying force hit Morpheus, but was blocked by the clothes on his body. His clothes constructed a temple, a mobile temple. Because the characteristics of this clothes contain all the qualities required by the temple, it can also exert the protective power that the temple should have!
However, he did not have that much material, and what he produced was not of the kind that could be maintained sustainably, so it was considered to be of a relatively poor quality.
But even so, this suit can protect against nuclear-level attacks within the activation time, and it is the power of the center of a nuclear bomb!
The giants were confused. They didn't understand why their attacks had no effect on this human. They had clearly dealt a heavy blow that should have been able to completely crush this human, but this human was not hurt at all!
“You’re okay?!”
Zeus' heart gradually sank. He found that he could not see through this human from another world. The magic used by the other party was totally incomprehensible to him. He began to think about what the result would be if he fought with the other party.
Then, he sadly discovered that he probably wouldn't be able to gain much advantage and might even get stuck in a tug-of-war.
If the other party can fully utilize the power of those projected foreign gods, then there will be no need to fight a tug-of-war, and they might be killed instantly.
But now it seems that the other party can only use a part of his strength.
"It's okay!" Artemis shouted happily, which immediately cheered up Medea, who had almost fainted because Morpheus was hit.
Medea looked at Morpheus in the distance and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At that moment, she felt like her heart almost jumped out. At that moment, she really felt that the world had suddenly become dark.
This feeling made her very uncomfortable!
At this time, Morpheus started a new magic experiment after blocking the giant's attack.
Hundreds of magical spells were activated around him, strengthening his body while preventing it from collapsing.
And all this is for the next battle!
"Oh!"
Morpheus moved his feet slightly, and his whole body flew out like a cannonball. There was even a sonic boom around him. At that moment, he had broken the speed of sound!
Morpheus is not a saint. He is not the kind of monster who is born with extremely strong body and can easily destroy mountains or even cities once he exerts his full strength. But he is a magician, and he can perform many operations that humans cannot do by relying on magic.
Like, say, hand-to-hand combat at the speed of sound!
This is a compulsory course for magicians!
Chapter 19: Admit Mistakes
In the world of A Certain Magical Index, in addition to using various techniques to cast magic that ordinary people can understand, such as water bombs and fireballs, which are attack methods that appear in various novels, movies and games, magicians actually have some fighting methods that may go against common sense.
That is to rely on techniques to make one's own body gain strong resistance, such as increasing the body to be able to withstand the speed of sound in a short period of time, so that the body will not collapse in this situation, and then engage in high-speed hand-to-hand combat.
Naturally, other techniques of his own will also be incorporated into this process to launch various attacks.
Combined with the protective spells on his body, he can usually present a good battle scene unless he encounters some perverts who can render the entire spell invalid with just one touch.
This is what is called sonic warfare!
But Morpheus now has the power of the four archangels. Even in this situation he can only use a small part of it, but it is still enough for him to strengthen all the spells covering him, directly upgrading from sonic combat to supersonic combat, and it is precision supersonic combat!
Morpheus maintained a speed of two or three times the speed of sound, rushing out from under the giant's attack and rushing towards the nearest giant.
Faced with Morpheus' attack, these giants also quickly launched an attack, wanting to directly intercept the attacker. The best way is naturally to use the huge sticks in their hands to make a close contact with the opponent who is rushing at high speed!
At such a high speed, if they collide, it will definitely give this little guy a powerful baptism!
At this moment, the giant's swung stick instantly broke the speed of sound, causing a violent storm and a sharp explosion.
Even though it didn't touch the ground, the strong wind brought by the stick tore the earth apart in an instant!
There is no need to use magic, just pure physical strength. The power is so great that even the Titan God, who is famous for his strength, would be amazed!
Moreover, because the speed was too fast, it would be very inconvenient to dodge when turning. The trajectory was easier to predict, so the giant of Gigantes felt that his attack would definitely hit the fleeing mouse.
However, Morpheus' figure turned at the moment when he was about to approach the stick!
He actually made a turn that was almost equivalent to 90 degrees, avoiding the attack, and then quickly made another 90-degree turn to return to the original direction!
The most terrifying thing is that his speed did not even decrease, and he was still moving at a supersonic level. At this moment, after avoiding the first attack, he had already arrived in front of the target.
"Heat and humidity."
The brief statement was actually a spell. The moment Morpheus recited it, the yellow dagger surrounding him instantly shone brightly. The angel named Raphael flapped his wings and guided this power!
A strong wind appeared around Morpheus, and then an extremely large amount of air, compressed to the level of a flying knife, began to blast forward at an extremely fast speed.
Those were blades made entirely of air, flying forward one after another. These blades were so sharp that a huge rock blocking the road was broken into more than a dozen pieces the moment the wind blades flew past, and the cut surfaces of those pieces were extremely smooth!
These wind blades did not attack the stones and reduce their speed. Instead, they continued to move forward at their original speed and all hit the giant's ankles.
At that moment, the giant's ankle was pierced by the wind blade, leaving a series of wounds. All of these wounds were penetrating wounds, and one could even see the scenery behind from the front!
The giant couldn't bear the pain because of the blow and couldn't help but bend down. At this moment, several wind blades rose into the air and hit the giant's head the moment the giant bent down.
Afterwards, several extremely powerful wind blades erupted from Morpheus as the center and flew towards the surroundings. In the blink of an eye, dozens of giants were injured by the wind blades. Some were hit in vital parts and died directly, while others were seriously or slightly injured and were then killed by the gods who reacted.
At this moment, more than forty of the original one hundred giants had died. Although there were still more than half left, the field looked much more sparsely populated than before.
Hercules roared and rushed to a giant who looked very tall. He raised his weapon high and smashed it hard.
Hercules, who possessed great strength, completely vented the power he was proud of on the giant's body, forcing the tall giant to take a step back.
Zeus raised the thunder spear in his hand high, and the thunder and lightning roared and smashed towards the giant. The giant could not help but raise his hands to block the terrifying lightning.
At that moment, Hercules took up his bow and arrow, aimed at the giant's head, and shot it through with one arrow.
Almost at the same time, lightning struck and swallowed the injured giant directly.
I have to say that after they reacted, Zeus and Hercules cooperated very well. With their cooperation, they directly killed one of the leaders of this group of giants.
Athena finally seized the opportunity at this time. She suddenly grabbed the head of a giant, and a huge snake came out from behind her and bit the giant's chest which was pierced by Morpheus' wind blade. Venom continued to flow from the wound, destroying the giant's flesh.
At the same time, Athena held a spear in her other hand and stabbed it into the giant's abdomen. Under the double attack, the giant showed a look of pain, but it was of no use.
Athena's power was also very strong. Under the interference of pain, the giant couldn't even break free from Athena's hand and could only allow the other party to destroy his body so madly.
Hades hid himself, like an assassin, hiding in the dark, and then seized the opportunity to inject his attack into the body of a giant with a fatal blow, and then hid himself again and began to look for the next opportunity.
As for Poseidon, he did not use his power to summon tsunamis. Instead, he lifted the mountain that the giants had brought and smashed it directly at the giants!
He was attacking with pure physical force. Judging from the effect, this might be the most direct and significant effect among all the gods present, because under this kind of attack from Poseidon, there was no need to specifically select targets whose defenses had been broken by Hercules and Morpheus.
Anyway, the first hit didn't break the defense? Then the second hit would be fine!
As long as you hit it enough, you will eventually break the defense!
What should have been an extremely fierce war has now become a small-scale skirmish. The opponent that could have frightened the gods now seems weak.
And all this was caused by Morpheus's magical attack that seemed to require no magic power!
From the time Morpheus joined the battle to the end of it, about half an hour passed. When the last giant's head was chopped off and his body was completely destroyed, the crisis caused by Cefalu was finally resolved.
This battle also allowed Morpheus to collect a lot of data.
"Sure enough, even though this world hasn't really started spreading Christianity, I can still use the corresponding techniques. Even the power I draw on seems to be from the Christianity I understand, rather than the Christianity system of this world.
"If, as I understand it, the world originates from mystery, and the universe exists within the world, then this explains my current situation. Because this cosmic space is encompassed by a larger world, the power contained within this world can also be used directly here...
“Moreover, there is no time limit at all!
"But it could also be due to other reasons. For example, it has some special power within it, which allows me to use these spells in this world. This is all possible. After all, I now have the magical mark of Yog-Sothoth on me, which allows me to manipulate time and space."
Morpheus thought secretly, several guesses flashed through his mind, but he suppressed them.
At this moment, a voice was heard, and along with it came a rapid sound of breaking through the air.
Morpheus turned around and saw Medea flying towards him. Her expression was not only happy but also complaining. She pounced on him, catching Morpheus off guard and he could only hold her tightly.
Then I heard the other party say in dissatisfaction: "Don't scare me like that in the future!"
His words were indeed full of worry. Thinking about how he had just resisted the giant's attack, Medea was frightened.
This was indeed his own fault. Feeling the girl's tight embrace and her still trembling body, Morpheus could only sigh helplessly, then said softly, "Sorry, I won't do it again."
So the girl issued a threat.
"If you say anything else later, I'll bite you!"
Chapter 20: Violent Theory
At the summit of Mount Olympus, or rather in the temple situated on the summit, Morpheus was surrounded.
Surrounding him were the Greek gods, all of whom were present except Hermes.
"Tell me the truth, which god's priest are you? Or rather, which god's messenger are you?!"
The one who said this was Artemis. She was the most familiar with Morpheus, and she was smiling when she said this, not looking serious at all.
The strength displayed by Morpheus amazed the gods. No one would be stupid enough to cause trouble for such a person, especially when this person was obviously not one to cause trouble.
Of course, this kind of thing might happen if your brain is broken.
But it is obvious that these Greek gods are not only not crazy, but also very normal.
Even if the god was born based on machinery, at least logically, the machinery knows very well what to choose to achieve the optimal solution.
At this moment, the gods gathered here, not only because they were already accustomed to contact with humans, but also because of the influence of human nature, that is, curiosity.
They were curious about Morpheus's secrets and various things, so they stayed here. It was not forced, but they were simply waiting for Morpheus's answer.
The thoughts of these gods are also extremely simple.
"What if he answers? There's nothing to lose by waiting anyway."
That's probably the idea.
Medea watched this scene nervously. She whispered to her teacher, "Teacher Hecate, is this really okay?"
"It's okay. Everyone is just curious, and it's obvious that they are just joking. After all, you and Artemis have been together for so long, you should know that her favorite thing is to play."
"So, the Moon Goddess is also playing now?"
"Of course, I see she's having a lot of fun now," said Hecate.
Medea looked over and saw that Artemis's expression really showed that she was having fun, while Morpheus, who was facing this question, was also smiling, and did not seem to be offended at all about his secret being violated.
"What do you think if I say I don't have a specific God to believe in?"
Morpheus's answer stunned the gods. They had never expected such an answer.
Artemis immediately said, "Stop joking. Those figures you summoned were obviously projections of gods, right?"
"I am a magician. I rely on the power of God to summon and utilize these supernatural beings. I don't summon them because I believe in them."
Morpheus briefly explained, "If I had to use a metaphor, it would be that I used the name of the Lord God Zeus to drive lightning and make it work for me."
This explanation seemed straightforward, but its straightforwardness once again stunned the gods.
"Isn't this the same as our connection with the priests? The priests can use our powers and then use magic with divine power, just like you said, using the name of God to drive power, isn't it the same?"
In response, Morpheus spread his hands and said, "I don't need recognition!"
At this moment, there was a brief silence at the scene.
It is simply unimaginable to use God's name directly to drive the power belonging to God without the need for God's approval.
But the person in front of me said it so naturally and easily.
In response to the gods' silence, Morpheus spoke out once again: "Isn't it natural for a magician to do such a thing?!"
This operation is indeed not impossible, as long as the person who casts the magic is directly connected to the source and interacts directly from the source.
However, almost no one can meet this requirement. Those who have truly reached the level of a magician have all made a contract or connection with God and rely on the power of God to cast magic.
