I let the genie out of the bottle

They just died here, and they're already about to respawn on the other side.

“That makes sense. It’s not good to always absorb the earth’s power.” Lu Ye nodded knowingly upon hearing this.

After all, he wasn't an unreasonable guy; he should at least consider Athena's opinion, who was waiting for him at home.

If there's no other way, then so be it.

However, if it can be replaced—

“You’re right, it’s indeed unfair to only draw power from the earth,” Lu Ye said with a pleasant smile. “If we want to absorb power, it’s definitely more appropriate to target the entire mythology directly!”

Moreover, compared to simply absorbing power from the earth, absorbing the power of the entire mythology would definitely yield a greater gain!

"Unfair? Targeting the entire mythology?"

Upon hearing this, a puzzled voice emanated from the rusty divine sword.

However, Lu Ye did not answer his question. Instead, he simply flipped his hand and summoned a colorful "orb of light".

The sphere of light shimmered with seven colors, making it extremely beautiful.

However, Lu Ye was aware of the danger involved.

This contains knowledge of an extremely high standard—and because of its high standard, it is tantamount to a potent poison for those at that level.

The prototype of this orb of light was someone who should have become a god-slayer, but was chosen by Lu Ye as the medium or carrier of this knowledge, becoming a special "magic book".

The effect of this "magic book" is to instantly amplify the influence of Lu Ye's worldview!

"The most revered sword among swords, the blade among blades. The razor-sharp blade that annihilates the Demon King, the snow-white light of salvation—" Lu Ye proclaimed with a malicious smile, "You are the strongest steel, born from the earth. Yet, you are also born from mythology!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Rama instantly sensed that something had changed.

The power surging into his body instantly increased several times over.

Moreover, unlike before when he plundered the power of the earth, now his power comes from the entire mythology!

In this world, gods and myths are closely related, and it can even be said that they are no longer distinguishable.

Although it wasn't always like this, today, with gods and mythology so closely intertwined, the gradual decline of mythology will lead to the disappearance of all gods along with it.

With a soft sigh, the figure of the white-haired nobleman appeared instantly beside the decaying God of Salvation Blade and pulled it from the ground.

P.S.: Secondary interpretations are inevitable, please understand.

Chapter 174 Alliance? Get me one too!

His current power was absorbed from mythology, rather than from merely plundering the life force of the earth as before.

Rama frowned deeply, his gaze fixed on Lu Ye, as if trying to find out how he had done it.

If I cannot defeat Lu Ye as soon as possible, then with the massive extraction of mythical power, the entire mythology might weaken.

In extreme cases, the entire mythology, along with the gods within it, could even disappear.

This world, though still preserving the legends of the gods, will truly lose the figures of the gods, and no more gods will descend from mythology.

It's not that mythology has been forgotten, but rather that the power that constitutes gods and mythology has been extracted and consumed.

Therefore, the entire mythological system could no longer be maintained.

Lu Ye was actually well aware of this.

By then, the only disobedient god in the world will probably be Athena, who is protected by her own worldview.

Moreover, all the mystery in the world will be severely diminished.

It's even possible that, apart from those chosen by Lu Ye, everyone else in this world will lose their supernatural powers!

"As expected of the Demon King who is unparalleled in this world." Finally, the Last King slowly spoke, "He can even do something like this."

"Perhaps I understand why fate has made you my greatest enemy."

Rama spoke softly, and the savior sword in his hand emitted a dazzling white-gold light.

The earth beneath human feet possesses immense power, but it still pales in comparison to the power of the entire mythology.

Therefore, the source of power changed from depriving the earth of its vitality to absorbing the power of the entire mythology, and Rama's power surged once again.

Especially with the blessing of the Covenant Law, if Lu Ye were before his battle with Rama, his power level would probably be inferior to Rama's at this moment.

Rama gripped the God of Salvation's sword tightly in his hand, his face showing no trace of the previous fatigue and weariness, nor any enthusiasm for fulfilling his mission.

He was simply doing what he was supposed to do, as if he were just completing his job.

No, it should be said that at this moment, he was indeed doing his job.

As the last king, he must fulfill the tasks he is obliged to complete.

The white-haired nobleman resolutely adopted a hostile stance towards Lu Ye.

At this moment, he possessed the support of the entire mythological power, making him far stronger than ever before.

Moreover, regardless of his own thoughts, he would not allow himself to give up resistance and be slaughtered.

"The savior's blade—"

Rama called out his partner's name softly and launched another attack on Lu Ye.

A chaotic white orb crackling with lightning slowly rose from the savior's sword in his hand.

However, that's not all.

Following that were the second, the third... a total of eight powerful white orbs of light.

Then, the savior sword in Rama's hand transformed into a sphere, which together with the other eight white spheres of light formed nine simulated celestial bodies.

These nine simulated celestial bodies slowly aligned themselves overhead, forming a cross. One of them corresponds to the sun, while the other eight represent the eight planets in the solar system.

The "Cross" is said to be the most ominous sign of disaster in ancient prophecies!

"Look, this is the most powerful attack that can only be achieved with the support of the entire mythology. Today, I will use this to annihilate the Demon King!"

Rama was pale, but his eyes still held a hint of excitement.

Because Roshmana, who helped him share the burden of his disobedience and madness, had long since returned to mythology.

Therefore, at this time, madness also began to gradually afflict his will.

"Its name is—Shatter the Immortality of the Rakshasa!"

This symbolizes the power of the entire solar system erupting here!

"The support of the entire mythology, then—" Sensing the destructive aura in Rama's attack, Lu Ye's lips curled up slightly, his face filled with a malicious smile.

"Get one for us too!"

He has already defeated Rama twice and absorbed the power within him.

"Approved, the covenant to annihilate the Demon King."

"Activate here, the great law of the ancient covenant!"

Even something like this, Lu Ye is capable of doing!

Under Rama's astonished gaze, he cried out.

The next moment, the already terrifying magical power surged once more!

Lu Ye could feel the power of the entire mythology flowing continuously toward his body!

“It’s not just the power of the God of Salvation Blade, but even the Covenant Law—” Rama exclaimed, his arm trembling slightly.

It wasn't fear, but rather the fact that Lu Ye's power was far beyond his own, causing his body to instinctively want to retreat!

"Hahahaha! That's exhilarating!" Feeling his power surge, Lu Ye let out a hearty laugh.

Although he could not improve several times over like Rama, his base number was much higher than Rama's.

However, in terms of the amount of improvement, the support he received from mythology must have far exceeded that of Rama!

Then, the cover of the Book of Enoch he was holding quickly fell off and transformed into a huge simulated celestial body.

Immediately following Rama's actions, a similar cross-shaped star was created!

"Take this, Rama, whose name is—"

Although he was shamelessly copying Rama's moves, Lu Ye still gave the move a new name.

"A magnificent cross!"

A torrent of light and heat, a thunderous roar of fire, erupted here.

Several minutes passed before this outburst, which seemed to be trying to erase everything, finally came to a halt.

"Ah, it's my victory again."

Having won once again, Lu Ye wore a faint smile as he began to collect his spoils.

"Yes." Rama smiled bitterly, lowered his head, and his expression was ambiguous, whether it was gloom or satisfaction.

“However—” the white-haired hero said.

"I have a feeling that after this, I probably won't show up again."

Rama suddenly said.

"I see." Lu Ye was slightly taken aback, but then instantly understood.

The power of the Covenant Law had already permeated Lu Ye's body.

Even if that being called Destiny were incredibly foolish, it probably wouldn't send Rama to deliver it under such a vast disparity in power.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

Having obtained the Covenant Law, he can draw power from the mythology of this world at any time, and strictly speaking, he no longer needs Rama.

“Farewell—or rather, farewell forever, my final enemy, the true demon king of this world.” Rama said, a gentle smile slowly spreading across his pale face. “And—those whom I believe might be able to become my friends.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the savior vanished into ashes.

His soul, which had wandered the world for countless years, finally did not continue to roam the earth, but was able to return to the eternal slumber of mythology.

With the hero's covenant stolen by the Demon King, the tragic fate of the "Last King" in this world came to an end.

"It's not over yet—" With one of his opponents completely defeated, Lu Ye had a faint smile on his face.

"What happens next, what is this so-called fate?"

P.S.: The next world is High School DxD. However, the plot will likely not involve it much.

Chapter 175 Gods, This Battle Will Only Take a Moment!

Born in the immortal underworld.

Unlike before, Lu Ye has now arrived at the deepest part of the Netherworld, the sacred realm of destiny.

This is a space filled with woven spindle threads, with threads of various colors laid out below, making it look like a huge carpet with no end in sight.

"Is this fate?" Lu Ye took a small step forward, looking curiously at the silk threads around him.

Just like the three sisters Crotos, Lachesis, and Atropos in Greek mythology, they are known as the Three Fates, goddesses who designed and created a giant woven fabric called 'Fate'. Their power is to manipulate the threads of fate themselves.

The eldest daughter, Clotho, spins the silk, the second daughter, Lachesis, decides the length of the silk thread, and the third daughter, Atropos, is responsible for cutting the silk thread. In this way, they weave a magnificent and colorful 'destiny' woven fabric.

And the so-called goddess of fate in this world seems to possess similar power.

Or rather, she is the embodiment of all the goddesses representing fate in the entire mythology.

"In any case, it's just a corner of the fate in this parallel plane. Besides, so-called fate is something that only exists when it's useful and doesn't exist when it's not."

As Lu Ye marveled at the sight of the intricate web of fates, Mozlis slowly spoke.

"You should know that even this parallel dimension cannot control the so-called thread of fate here."

“That makes sense.” Lu Ye nodded gently.

After all, even if things had gone according to plan, hadn't this so-called destiny been completely overturned?

Thinking about it that way, it's utterly uninteresting.
