I let the genie out of the bottle

This world clearly possesses a higher level of power, but it cannot be reached even with the help of this world's magic system.

But upon closer reflection, it does seem reasonable.

After all, most of the magic systems in this world rely on praying to gods for power, so it's perfectly normal that the power they unleash is always far inferior to that of the gods.

It can be said that when humanity realized the convenience of communicating with mythological systems, and focused only on the present while forgetting the long term, it had already lost the possibility of moving forward.

Confirmed cause—

The jumping process —

Directly to the fruit.

In just a moment, Lu Ye had turned more than half of the book he had only read a few pages of.

The ability to directly connect cause and effect is not only useful in combat.

Lu Ye raised his hand to rub his temples, relieving the dizziness and headache caused by acquiring a large amount of knowledge in an instant, and continued reading the magic book in his hand.

The only downside is that this ability requires a considerable amount of magic power to use each time.

After all, it is a powerful force capable of interfering with cause and effect, so the consumption of energy is inevitable.

Moreover, currently, there is a certain cooldown period between each use of this ability, and the more complex the process of using the ability to jump, the longer the cooldown period will be.

Therefore, it cannot be used continuously.

Otherwise, Lu Ye could simply skip his "process of becoming stronger" and directly reach his maximum strength, wouldn't that be wonderful?

Right now, all Lu Ye can do is familiarize himself with the output of his ability and the corresponding cooldown time, so that he can maintain this ability at the level that allows him to acquire knowledge with maximum efficiency.

Having come into this world, Lu Ye had his first opportunity to come into contact with supernatural knowledge, and he had an unimaginable thirst for this knowledge.

Even though Mozlis disdains the world's magical knowledge, it doesn't change that.

Acquiring knowledge at an astonishing speed, Lu Ye felt as refreshed as putting on new underwear on the morning of the Spring Festival.

Although the magic system in this world has gone astray, it is likely that magic knowledge will have many commonalities regardless of the world.

Moreover, what Lu Ye sought was not the magic system of this world, but simply knowledge.

Knowledge is power. In a world where magic exists, this is an ironclad rule.

"Ha, I finally finished reading and memorized it." Lu Ye rubbed his temples wearily, tossed aside the book "Curse Power, Magic and God" in his hand, and then picked up a book called "Odin and Runes".

"Hey, isn't this exactly the same as before?" Mozlis shouted listlessly in the bottle, glaring at Lu Ye with a tone full of dissatisfaction.

Lu Ye's current state made her feel quite bored.

The thing she hates most is being bored.

"Any questions?"

Lu Ye casually picked up the teapot that was placed to the side. The tea inside was almost gone. Even when he turned the teapot upside down, the tea only barely covered the bottom of the cup.

"Tsk." Lu Ye tilted his head back and drank the last bit of tea in the cup in one gulp, then casually pushed the cup aside with the back of his hand.

"You've just been through a big battle, shouldn't you relax a bit? What's wrong with you burying yourself in a book like this? Are you stupid? Can't you even enjoy yourself?"

Mozlis retorted loudly.

"If all else fails, go find one of the existing god-slayers or disobedient gods in this world and have a good spar! Now that you have power, don't you even have the thought of testing your own combat capabilities?"

“There’s no need for that yet,” Lu Ye said calmly. “It’s not too late to wait until I have a more detailed understanding of the magic system of this world.”

"And then what happens when you have a more detailed understanding?"

“At that time—” Lu Ye paused for a moment, “we’ll continue to learn more!”

"I knew you idiot would say that!"

Tears streamed down my face instantly.

Lu Ye was focused on reading books about the magic system of this world, but the little devil was not in the mood for that.

Therefore, it was naturally quite uncomfortable.

"Waaaaah, I'm leaving, you idiot, go live with books for the rest of your life!" Mozlis cried, wiping away her tears.

While generally speaking, few people dislike having someone making noise next to them while they are reading, if the voices are pleasant, then perhaps it's a different story.

Anyway, although Mozlis was always causing trouble, Lu Ye didn't feel that he was being disturbed much.

Just as Lu Ye was reading a book while the little devil was pretending to cry, a knock suddenly sounded at the door.

“Ah, it’s that human female.” Mozlis blinked and said with interest, showing no trace of her crying just now.

Chapter Thirty-Six: Outwardly Compliant, Inwardly Disobedient

According to Wang himself, his name was Lu Ye.

However, after checking all people with the same name around the world, no one matching the past was found, so the possibility that this is a pseudonym cannot be ruled out.

At the same time, they may also be people who have been cultivating themselves in seclusion for a long time.

The first to witness the new king's face and perceive his special nature was Liliana, a new generation member of the Italian [Bronze Black Cross]. At the time, the new king was holding something that appeared to be a divine artifact, but because she did not activate her spiritual vision or sense any unusual aura, she did not pay much attention to it. Secondly, the two encountered each other again near the Temple of Mars and engaged in battle.

Based on the location of the battle and the clashing of nearby magicians, it was finally confirmed that the disobedient god who had descended was Mars, the Roman god of war.

Mars is the Roman god of land, war, agriculture, and spring, and one of the twelve Olympian gods. He is the son of Jupiter and Juno, the husband of Bellona, ​​and the lover of Venus. He is the most important god worshipped by the Roman legions, second only to Jupiter in importance. He corresponds to Ares in Greek mythology.

In Roman mythology, he was not only a valiant warrior but also the ancestor of the Romans. Everyone knows the statue of the wolf feeding the children in Rome; the biological father of those two children is the great god of war, Mars. This shows how lofty the image of the god of war was in the minds of the ancient Romans.

This disobedient god has been confirmed to have been defeated by the newborn king in his own temple.

Due to the abundance of myths related to Mars, it is currently difficult to deduce the powers acquired by the new king.

(Note: The new king may seem easygoing, but he is actually dangerous by nature. Never try to pry into his powers, as he is one of the demon kings who are above us.)

—From the "Investigation Report on the Seventh Godslayer Compiled by the Council of Wise Men of Greenwich" by Lu Ye

"Your Majesty, the Bronze Black Cross has brought you the divine artifact you require." Liliana entered, looking tense and respectfully carrying a wooden box with both hands.

"Oh? Hopefully it's something useful to me." Lu Ye closed one eye, looking at Liliana with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Because she just used the distant term "Bronze Black Cross," as if she were someone outside that magic society.

Presumably, someone advised her to distance herself from the Bronze Black Cross and stand on his side.

It might seem like the Bronze Black Cross lost a promising talent for no reason, but in reality, Liliana was ultimately a member of the Bronze Black Cross, which was unavoidable.

In a sense, this can actually bring the bronze black cross closer to oneself.

Lu Ye's mind stirred slightly as he pondered.

Given Liliana's personality, even if she could think of this, she wouldn't do such a thing.

However, Lu Ye didn't care about such things.

As long as he needed those magic societies to do something and they could do it, Lu Ye didn't bother with so many other things.

At most, it would only be to let them experience the "casual" revenge of a god-slayer on a certain occasion when they feel "unhappy".

While idly pondering some things, Lu Ye opened the box in his hand and silently looked at the contents inside.

It should be said that, upon seeing the mysterious object that appeared in his hand, he couldn't help but fall silent.

"Your Majesty, are you satisfied with this divine artifact?" Seemingly sensing Lu Ye's change in mood, Liliana quietly raised her head, secretly glanced at Lu Ye's expression, and asked cautiously.

The newly crowned king was expressionless, and no emotion could be discerned from his face.

Lu Ye was indeed pondering a question at that moment.

Because, chronologically speaking, these Italian magic societies should have already received information about the Gorgon Stone.

Furthermore, these magical forces are likely already struggling with how to deal with this troublesome artifact.

It's impossible to keep it in one's own hands, since an unstable divine artifact, if not properly handled, could very well bring about one's annihilation.

In particular, there have been corresponding prophecies in the world of sorcery, almost explicitly stating that this divine artifact would attract disobedient gods.

However, even so, these magical forces have not yet handed over this divine artifact to them for disposal.

Moreover, the same thing happened when he proposed that his magical forces search for divine artifacts.

Could it be that the distrust they felt towards me was so intense? Or was it that I had taken over the position while the Sword King was away, causing them to feel resentment?

This surprised him quite a bit, and also a little...amusing.

Lu Ye still harbored some expectations for the Gorgon Stone. This item itself contained considerable divine power, and it could also attract the disobedient Athena.

In Lu Ye's eyes now, the God of Disobedience can be considered a decent enemy and...food.

Especially Athena, who doesn't follow orders, is, in Lu Ye's eyes, a veritable experience pack that will automatically be delivered to his door in the future as long as he holds the Gorgon Stone, waiting for him to harvest her.

Of course, the premise is that you have enough strength, so you don't get killed instead.

He took out the divine artifact offered by the Bronze Black Cross from the box; it was a stone slab that had been polished and appeared to be quite smooth.

Judging from its appearance alone, it may have served a function similar to a mirror in the past.

Lu Ye placed one hand on it, and the power contained within it slowly flowed into Lu Ye's body.

In Lu Ye's eyes, this power might not be much, far less than the power he gained from absorbing the divine power within Mars.

However, in this world, even a great knight cannot possess more power than this.

In the past few days, he has completely absorbed and transformed the power he obtained from the initial beast teeth and the divine power he received from Mars. There is no longer any trace of Mars or the Hunnic wolf god in the magic power within his body.

However, Lu Ye memorized the template for the composition of these two divine powers.

In other words, Lu Ye was able to reproduce the divine power of these two beings, use their divine power characteristics, and even reverse-engineer the specific circumstances of these two gods one by one through the characteristics of their divine power.

Furthermore, when Lu Ye becomes even stronger in the future, he will be able to directly construct the non-divine god corresponding to the divine power he has memorized.

"After all this time, you've only delivered one item?" Lu Ye's eyes narrowed, and a slightly dangerous smile appeared on his lips.

"Could it be that everyone is still grateful to their former master, and therefore they are outwardly obedient to my orders but inwardly defying them?"

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Just a Perverted Pleasure

Lu Ye felt a little strange. Why did these guys dare to slack off on his orders?

These guys who can build their own prisoner-of-war camps seem to have extraordinary courage when facing themselves.

It's unclear whether they believed the Sword King Tony would protect them, or whether they felt they weren't a significant threat.

The displeasure in his heart was indescribable, in Italy, this land where the flower of evil blooms... Well, he forgot the rest of the lines, but it didn't matter.

Since he was unhappy about it, he naturally wanted to share it with everyone.

The stone-like artifact in his hand slowly turned into a pile of stone dust after its power was completely absorbed.

He usually has two ways of dealing with the divine artifacts he acquires.

The first type is like the stone artifact before us, and the beast teeth from before.

Although this type of divine artifact contains divine power, it has relatively little concept of being clearly associated with a particular deity and lacks sufficient symbolic meaning.

It can be said that almost all of its value lies in its internal divine power, whether in exerting power or in summoning disobedient gods.

Therefore, even if Lu Ye absorbs all the divine power within and loses this divine artifact, it doesn't matter. Because after completely absorbing and transforming this divine power, he can convert the power within his body into this kind of divine power himself.

The second type of divine artifact is rather special.

Such divine artifacts bear clear signs of belonging to a particular deity, or rather, symbols of a god. Therefore, using divine artifacts as a medium to bring down a disobedient god is far more effective than using divine power alone.

The second type of divine artifact, Athena's Gorgon Stone, should belong to this type, as should the Sword of Mars in the Roman temple.

Lu Ye would not directly absorb the power within this divine artifact. Instead, he planned to use it to pull down the disobedient god and absorb both the artifact and the disobedient god together, which would be more cost-effective.

The only downside is that once a disobedient god has summoned someone, it seems difficult to summon them again in a short period of time.

Otherwise, if Lu Ye used the most suitable divine artifact to continuously summon the corresponding disobedient god to the mortal realm and repeatedly attack him, he should be able to greatly increase the power within his body in a short period of time.

With a flick of his wrist, he poured the stone chips from his palm into the box, placed the box on the table, and rested his chin on his hand, looking somewhat listless.

"Liliana, two days have passed. Apart from the Bronze Black Cross, is there no other magic society that can find a divine artifact to offer me?"

Lu Ye's face held a half-smile, and the sinister glint in his eyes made Liliana's heart tremble slightly. She quickly lowered her head to persuade him.
