I let the genie out of the bottle

They had originally thought they could delay as long as possible, but Lu Ye then announced that he would be heading to Japan in a few days.

Therefore, they had no choice but to immediately seek help from Lu Ye.

Otherwise, if a rebellious god were to appear in the world because of this divine artifact after Lu Ye leaves, and then seek help from Lu Ye in Japan, who knows how much damage Italy would suffer.

As for seeking help from other god-slayers...

Although the Sword King and Marquis Voban are both in Italy, let alone that they are currently only obsessed with their cross-dressing debut and have no interest in anything else.

Even if these two god-slayers were willing, the Italian magicians would not dare to let the disobedient gods who appeared be dealt with by these two.

Because if that were the case, Lu Ye might become unhappy about it.

During this period, the fear of Lu Ye had penetrated to the very core of the entire Italian mystical community.

"Why do you always look so sad?" Lu Ye glanced at Liliana following behind him and said gently.

"This time, it's not you—"

Lu Ye paused slightly as he spoke.

"Did they ask me for help? This is my chance to show my helpfulness, so quickly smile and praise my compassion."

"Yes, Your Majesty, Your mercy is witnessed by all in heaven and on earth."

Liliana glanced at the divine artifact that was treasured by witches all over Europe, her lips twitched, but she immediately spoke.

Lu Ye nodded in satisfaction and cast a spell of mercy on the Hera Pillar in front of him.

Large cracks suddenly appeared on this treasure shared by European witches.

Behind Lu Ye, Liliana, a member of the European witches, wore a "happy" smile.

PS1: Fourth update~~ I deducted one chapter from the owed chapters, then added one, but in the end, I neither added nor deducted, and I still owe nine chapters...

PS2: These chapters seem a bit too extreme? I'm not sure... I'd appreciate feedback, please don't just be indulging myself...

Chapter 122 I have no interest in fighting!

Divine artifacts are indestructible by human power.

Even for a god-slayer, or a disobedient god, it would be quite difficult to completely destroy it.

However, Liliana herself didn't have much hope that this precious divine artifact could survive from Lu Ye's hands.

After all, of all the divine artifacts that have fallen into Lu Ye's hands over such a long period of time, apart from the Gorgon Stone, it seems that none of them have survived.

If it were just a single punch, Lu Ye wouldn't be able to directly destroy a divine artifact.

After all, relying solely on the destructive power of his fists, he could not compare to the sword empowered by Salvatore Toni's torn silver hand.

However, when he punched the Hera Pillar, he skillfully controlled himself to absorb the power from this divine artifact, turning the area where he absorbed the power into a crack.

This effect is similar to replacing a section of solid rock with sand.

The next moment, the "people" present saw a magnificent scene where a huge amount of magical power, like magma, erupted from the broken Hera Pillar.

The magical power, surrounded by a dazzling green flash, flowed to the ground, shattering the ceiling of the underground ruins and shooting upwards.

The ancient ruins, which had existed for an unknown period of time, had their structure damaged and began to collapse.

Lu Ye remained unfazed, and a surge of crimson magic power erupted from his body, shooting straight upwards and burning away the entire ceiling of the underground ruins, revealing a clear sky.

"I see. So that's why you asked me to come along."

Behind me came a slightly wistful voice.

Upon hearing this voice, Liliana, who was standing half a step behind Lu Ye, instantly showed a wary expression, like a cat with its fur standing on end.

However, the next moment, sensing Lu Ye's indifference, she withdrew her blatant hostility, though her eyes still held a hint of wariness.

No magician, or even a god of disobedience, would dare to follow Lu Ye and come here secretly.

Following behind was the silver-haired goddess who had been summoned by Lu Ye to this place.

The goddess of wisdom, Athena, paid no attention to the knight princess's obvious hostility. She simply gazed at the stone pillar-like divine artifact in front of her with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

The surging green divine power gradually took on a new shape before the eyes of the three people present.

Its body is like a giant snake, shaped like a bat, but with excessively large wings. The short limbs that grow from its body are reminiscent of a lizard. Its head is shaped like a crocodile, and its gaping maw is filled with sharp teeth arranged like swords.

The divine power condensed in another artifact left behind by the Earth Mother Goddess transformed into the symbol of the Earth Mother Goddess—the dragon.

At this moment, the green dragon was flapping its wings, flying in the sky, looking down with a gaze that was both admiring and wary.

Undoubtedly, its dragon-serpent instincts made it extremely close to the Earth Mother Goddess.

However, sensing the power emanating from Lu Ye made it hesitate.

The power emanating from the divine beast seemed to be within Lu Ye's ability to absorb.

Even the smallest mosquito leg is still meat, and normally Lu Ye wouldn't let it go.

However, since the goddess with whom he had made a pact had shown her sincerity, he should respond in kind.

It has nothing to do with integrity, nothing to do with morality, it's just a "contract"... to put it more bluntly, it's about sustainable development.

"This guy is yours to handle." Lu Ye glanced casually at the divine beast above his head that could give magicians of an entire country a headache, and said calmly, "I'll go take care of the other guy in the real world."

Upon hearing this, Athena shifted her gaze from the dragon in the sky, her brows furrowing slightly.

"So that's how it is. I hadn't even noticed before that an annoying acquaintance had appeared in the world."

The goddess said so.

"Then, do you need me to provide you with information about that enemy?"

"No need." Lu Ye gently shook his head, declining the goddess's kindness, and replied quite naturally, "That guy—"

"It's not at the point where we need to gather intelligence yet."

After he finished speaking, his figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

“In terms of ‘self,’ she’s truly second to none,” Athena said, her expression unchanged, as if she had expected this.

"However, since that despicable guy has appeared, I'd better finish dealing with things here as soon as possible before going to watch his ugly behavior."

"My Goddess, if we defeat the divine beast formed from the essence of this land, the spiritual veins in this area might dry up as a result!"

Liliana looked up at the dragon in the sky and cautiously reminded him from the side.

As a knight, being alone with a god who did not obey her, even though the other party did not show any hostility, still made her feel immense pressure due to the difference in their status.

Spiritual veins are also called earth veins or dragon veins, and that dragon is a divine beast that is formed and manifested from this kind of power.

If it is destroyed, this place will lose the lifeline of the city and become a barren land and a dead sea.

So even though she felt immense pressure, Liliana still spoke up.

"How rude of you, witch." The petite goddess turned her gaze to Liliana, her tone slightly displeased. "Do you perhaps believe that you understand the spiritual veins better than I, your humble servant, the Earth Mother Goddess? Or perhaps you care more about this land?"

“Since your lord summoned me here, you should have been aware of it. As the demon king who rules this place, he would not allow his possessions to be lost.”

"Then, please, Goddess." Upon hearing this, Liliana immediately realized and bowed.

No, she should have thought of it earlier, but she was too flustered to react in time.

Unlike the other demon kings, the king he served truly regarded the territory that was loyal to him as his own.

Since it's my own property, I naturally won't let it depreciate.

the other side.

A disobedient god who had just gained a physical form stood somewhat bewildered on the earth.

"Ah...who exactly am I...?"

He made a somewhat confused sound.

However, this question is actually irrelevant, isn't it? Neither the name nor the purpose.

Wanting to know the reason for one's existence, wanting to find out who one truly is—getting bogged down in such trivial worries is not the heroic style of this mythical age.

As for what truly attracted him to this world—

Near the sea, a powerful magical force erupted, and the essence of the earth and water transformed into emerald-like sparkles that stood there, like an erupting volcano.

That is the power of the earth, awakening the dragon and the snake.

He instantly understood why he had appeared there.

"Isn't fighting dragons and serpents precisely the reason for me, as a hero, to appear in this world?" A hearty smile appeared on his face. "I hope this time there will be a thoroughly enjoyable battle."

Then--

"I'm sorry, I might have to disappoint you."

A cold voice sounded from behind.

"I'm only interested in the power within you, not in the fight."

As the sound rang out, a sharp pain appeared in my chest.

Chapter 123 So, let's go watch the battle now!

Flying high in the distant sky is the evil dragon that I must defeat.

Upon seeing that ferocious figure, the descending god smiled with satisfaction.

Isn't it delightful to see a hero hailed as a god of war emerge, along with a formidable foe worthy of being a conqueror of the earth's spirits?

In short, as long as there are enemies to be defeated and adventures to overcome, there's no problem.

If there were also beautiful girls to be saved, that would be even better, but the former is more important. Without that, there would be no beginning, and no meaning to the existence of a hero!

He originally intended to ride out in this surge of excitement, but he quickly stopped.

"Oh right—we need to state our names first."

It is only natural that he is a magnificent and valiant hero.

If one cannot impress ordinary people deeply during the registration process, it may even damage one's own prestige.

After thinking it over for a while, he decided that this was the most appropriate way and landed on the ground like lightning.

Her hair was as golden as the sun, and her eyebrows were beautiful without a hint of weakness. Her figure was as robust as a god's—the white clothes and cloak she wore were clearly not modern attire.

"Isn't fighting dragons and serpents precisely the reason for me, as a hero, to appear in this world?" A hearty smile appeared on his face. "I hope this time there will be a thoroughly enjoyable battle."

That's what he was thinking.

For a modern-day god-like hero, is there anything more enjoyable?

"Then let's make a scene right here!"

But the next moment, his mood changed.

"What... happened?"

Feeling the pain in his chest and the hand emanating from it, the disobedient god looked somewhat bewildered.

enemy.

An unimaginable enemy.

Moreover, relying on their own strength, they resorted to the most despicable sneak attack without any sense of honor or morality.

They didn't give him the slightest chance, nor did they satisfy his desire to fight.

With a single strike, he inflicted a severe injury on him.

Even so, it's not time to give up.

A true hero is one who uses wisdom and courage to overcome all the dangers before them.

"Haaah—!" The hero of the Age of Gods roared with a ferocious expression, reaching out with both arms to grab behind him at the same time.

One hand was aimed at Lu Ye's shoulder, while the other hand was aimed at Lu Ye's arm.

As heroes of the age of gods, when they appear in the world as rebellious gods, they invariably possess astonishing martial arts skills.
