However, as the volleyball game progressed, Karen and Ariana stepped down from the game.

Because after Erica swung the ball at Liliana's face, these people started using magic.

The witch of Sardinia was of course not afraid, and Takatsuki Sen could continue on her own based on her physical abilities alone.

Thus, beach volleyball gradually transformed into a deadly sport, but it also had its own unique charm.

—Until the poor volleyball is smashed.

Chapter 171 The Prometheus Manual

A week after arriving in Sardinia, Summer Solstice broke free from her joyful vacation and began searching for the traces of the disobedient god.

Although the war god Vereslana and Mekal fought to a draw on Sardinia at the very beginning, there must be a sequence in which the two fought.

Mekal is the native god of Sardinia.

In Santuanti, Sardinia, there is a group of stone towers called Tolarba.

This is the place where Mekal was worshipped.

He is the god of storms, seas, and lightning; the god-king of Phoenicia.

Vereslana was the Persian god of war, located next to Sardinia.

Therefore, it must have been the awakening of the god-king Mekal that attracted Vereslana, who was "seeking defeat".

But Sardinia has few other things, but it has a lot of ancient ruins like these.

Xia Zhi didn't know which relic suddenly manifested itself, summoning the disobedient god from mythology.

But he can wait.

Kusanagi Godou visited Sardinia during his third year of junior high school spring break, which was from late February to early April.

After returning to Japan, he soon entered his first year of high school.

It is now late March.

Therefore, the wait for the summer solstice is not too long.

Tonight, after eight rounds of mahjong, Xia Zhi asked Luculazia about Kusanagi Godou.

"Kusanagi Godou? Is he Kusanagi Ichiro's grandson?"

The witch knew that mentioning other men in front of a man she was close to was a big taboo, so she quickly distanced herself from him.

"Ichiro Kusanagi and I are just friends. That man has a curse on women, so he's not the type to be intimate with."

She crawled up to Xia Zhi and obediently leaned against his thigh, letting Xia Zhi feel her confidence and softness.

Luculazia raised her head, looking at Xia Zhi with a dreamy and satisfied gaze, and exhaled a breath as fragrant as orchids.

"Wasn't my pure flower just picked by Your Majesty?"

"I am not interested in prying into your relationships. Although I am the Demon King, I do not have a penchant for keeping witches as caged canaries."

Xia Zhi, leaning against the headboard, reached out and touched the beauty mark under Luculachia's eye, and asked her a question.

“I heard that you lent the Prometheus Manual to Kusanagi Ichiro, and that Kusanagi Ichiro sent his grandson, Kusanagi Godou, to return it.”

Luculazia felt a chill run down her spine, and at the same time, she suddenly realized what was going on.

She wondered why the king had suddenly come to Sardinia and specifically wanted to stay in the home of a witch like her.

It turns out it was because of the Prometheus Manual!

Although Luculazia was very confident in her looks and figure, Xia Zhi was always accompanied by women with similar appearances to herself.

She didn't think the other person would travel all the way to Sardinia just to have another lover.

In comparison, it's more likely that the Demon King will issue a decree and then personally deliver the cannon from afar.

This king has just subdued the Council of Sages. Wouldn't it be better for him to use this time to stay at Princess Alice's house and strengthen his control over the Council of Sages?

These past few days, while playing mahjong, this princess, who is both bad at the game and loves to play, has teamed up with her butler to make herself lose a lot.

“That was a long time ago. Kusanagi Ichiro traded a bell from the Far East that was related to Takemikazuchi for twenty years of access to the Prometheus Manual.”

Luculazia realized something was wrong and quickly explained the situation.

“Kusanagi Ichiro called me before, saying he would have his grandson bring the Prometheus Manual. If the King needs it, I will naturally offer it. However, the Prometheus Manual is currently sealed, and to use it…”

Summer Solstice suddenly interrupted Luculazia's narration.

"You mean, the Prometheus Manual was previously sealed away?"

Luculazia nodded, seemingly puzzled.

"Yes. If it's a usable divine artifact, I certainly won't give it away. Even if it's unusable, I'll keep it at home."

Xia Zhi smiled.

Based on the plot, he felt he had found the truth.

"Then I'll tell you, the seal has been broken by Kusanagi Ichiro."

"what?"

Luculazia's expression of surprise seemed genuine.

She cursed inwardly in a fit of rage: Italian profanity!

Kusanagi Ichiro, you really are something, trying to fool me!

The Prometheus Codex is a divine artifact related to a disobedient god, and it has already been activated!

Judging from the king's appearance, the Prometheus Manual must be very useful!

If I hadn't shown a submissive attitude from the beginning, and had a decent appearance, I'd be buried on my grave by now!

In the original storyline, Luculazia discovered that the Prometheus Codex was related to a disobedient god and had already been activated, so she immediately relinquished her ownership of it.

She had small arms and legs, and had already been seriously injured when she inadvertently saw two disobedient gods fighting through her spiritual vision.

Is the reason for getting involved again because they're afraid they haven't lived enough?

It's quite possible that no sooner had Kusanagi Godou left than Rukurachia started cursing.

(Bring out my Italian cannon!)

But when Kusanagi Godou successfully killed a god, that was a different story altogether.

Leaving aside Luculazia's inner turmoil, Xia Zhi sorted out the situation.

Judging from the timeline, Kusanagi Godou appeared on Sardinia only after the two disobedient gods had fought and both were severely injured.

He was urged several times by his grandfather, Kusanagi Ichiro, to rush over, and was specifically told not to tell his sister, Kusanagi Shizuka.

Therefore, the people behind Kusanagi Godou knew about this and then hurriedly sent Kusanagi Godou out, hoping that he could take advantage of the Prometheus Manual.

The person behind this is, of course, Susanoo, who calls himself "My Husband".

He may have many contingency plans.

For example, the host of the Kusanagi Sword, Kiyoshuin Ena, was from the Kiyoshuin family, one of the four great masters of Japanese sorcery, and was raised by her "husband" from a young age, calling him "Grandpa".

Tony, the King of Swords, was previously possessed by the disobedient god "Saint George." He fought and killed another disobedient god, the Celtic god-king "Silver-Armed Nuada," thus becoming a god-slayer.

Therefore, if Kiyoshuin Ena used the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi to slay a disobedient god, she should also be considered a god-slayer.

The Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi is the sword that killed the Yamata no Orochi and has a special attack against dragons and serpents.

Even if all else fails, there's always the Monkey God of the Western Heaven Palace to back us up; there's no need to worry about Japan sinking.

So she waited in her homeland for the arrival of the dragon- and serpent-like gods who refused to submit, in order to attempt to kill them.

Susanoo's dispatch of Kusanagi Godou with the Prometheus Manual to Sardinia was also merely an attempt.

They just didn't expect Kusanagi Godou to be so lucky, succeeding on his first try.

After that, all resources were naturally directed toward Kusanagi Godou.

Therefore, it is quite normal for the official history compilation committee to deceive and exploit Kusanagi Godō.

He himself is a "weapon" created by Susanoo.

Moreover, "subordinates overthrowing superiors" is an old tradition in this country.

Chapter 172 Susanoo and Pandora (Please Subscribe)

Susanoo, a self-proclaimed "retired" god of disobedience, is not only the behind-the-scenes mastermind of the official history compilation committee, but also the astonishing figure who devised the plan to transform the Monkey King into a monkey god.

It wouldn't be surprising if he tried to create a god-killer.

Xia Zhi strongly suspects that this "retired" Susanoo is not merely "a manifestation of disobedience in mythology."

He may have regained his true self from mythology, which is why he secretly protected Japan for hundreds of years instead of destroying everything like other disobedient gods.

At the same time, when he met Kusanagi Godou, the blood in Kusanagi Godou's body, which would inevitably boil upon encountering a disobedient god, did not react.

Later, when Kusanagi Godou was in a disadvantageous situation, Susanoo repeatedly used the Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi to help him.

It's just a sword. If it weren't for Susanoo constantly empowering it, how could it be so powerful!

The Prometheus Manual has been in Kusanagi Ichiro's hands for twenty years, while Kusanagi Godou is only sixteen years old this year.

He must have been connected with the Prometheus Codex long ago, and would surely be able to use it to steal the power of the disobedient gods and turn it against them.

Throughout history, Steel Heroes and Dragons and Snakes have been sworn enemies.

Every time a dragon or snake rises from the land, a steel hero will surely kill or vanquish it.

Nezha and the Third Prince of the East Sea Dragon King, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven and the White Dragon Horse, Hercules and the Hydra, Siegfried and the evil dragon Fafnir, Susanoo and the Yamata no Orochi...

Dragons and snakes are born from the earth, born from the earth's veins, and are the children and warriors of the Earth Mother Goddess.

The vast majority of the Steel Gods are male.

Therefore, the steel slaughter of the dragon and snake was the gods' attack and oppression of the Earth Mother Goddess!

Ultimately, this led to the transformation of human society from a matriarchal to a patriarchal system!

In the original story, Athena, representing the goddess, the Kusanagi sword representing Susanoo, and Pandora, who was created by the gods but hated them because of her tragic fate and was in charge of presiding over the god-slaying ritual, worked together to enable Kusanagi Godou to defeat the final king, Rama, who was also the "strongest steel".

"So Susanoo is a traitor to 'steel'? He made a pact with Pandora and sided with the Earth Mother?"

Summer Solstice revealed a huge mystery.

Athena is a triune goddess, the goddess of the underworld, and the mother of dragons and serpents.

Later, she was oppressed by Zeus and demoted to his daughter, becoming the goddess of wisdom and war in the Greek pantheon.

It's not hard to understand why she sought revenge against her male idols.

Pandora needs no further explanation.

But what is Susanoo after?

What benefits would it bring him to defeat the "strongest steel"?

Even after the story ended, with Kusanagi Godou becoming the strongest Godslayer and even able to traverse parallel worlds, this plot hole was not filled.

In short, it's very mysterious.

……

While Xia Zhi was calculating Susanoo's situation, Susanoo was also looking at Xia Zhi's information within the Netherworld.

Name unknown, age early to mid-twenties. Male, suspected of having killed the Eastern Thor.

He killed Marquis Voban on his first appearance, and a month later challenged the Sword King to a duel, which he also killed.

He then banished the Black Prince, subdued the Seven Sisters and the Council of Sages, and prepared to complete his rule over all magical societies in Europe.

I am currently traveling in Sardinia and have taken the Sardinian witch as my lover. I am accompanied by a young woman named "Takatsuki Sen," who appears to be Japanese.

Susanoo, who appeared as a disheveled, fat man, scratched his chin, looking at the incredibly rudimentary documents with a surprised expression.

"Strange. No Thor has come to this world to play recently. And why wasn't that old wolf killed? What does 'no such person found' mean?"

He turned to look at the empty space to the side and spoke.

"Is this the god-slayer you just created, Pandora?"
