The demon monk in the second dimension

"Although it's slightly different from what I expected, consider it an appetizer before the main course! I, Mekal, never refuse a challenge!"

The voice of the God-King was like thunder, echoing across the sacred mountain on Sardinia, causing even the atmosphere to tremble.

"Human! I admit, having withstood locusts, storms, and lightning, you are qualified to fight me!"

This god-king appears to belong to an upright and honorable faction, but in reality, he directly chants incantations to launch a surprise attack on Xia Zhi.

"Exiles and pursuers! At my command, advance swiftly and sweep away all!"

As the Word of Power was activated, two large clubs appeared behind Mekal.

The club, named The Chaser, is imbued with a whirlwind, making it as swift as the wind.

It can attack the summer solstice from all angles and directions, like a sudden storm.

The club, called the Exile's Club, was imbued with lightning and roared like thunder.

Its attack trajectory is simple and direct, but it is accompanied by lightning speed and enormous power, along with high temperatures that can instantly burn wood into charcoal.

Storms and lightning dance wildly as the summer solstice approaches!

"I don't dislike this straightforward style. But since the enemy is a giant, my body should also be modified."

Facing the fierce winds and lightning, Xia Zhi's body began to glow!

His blood boiled, and his body swelled rapidly, growing as tall as Mekal!

The enormous size of the body means that there is a larger area to inscribe the array!

Thirty body-strengthening arrays were simultaneously glowing on Xia Zhi's body!

Transformed into a giant, he stretched out his thick, long hands, the muscles on his arms swelling up and gleaming with a metallic, dark golden sheen.

With immense power capable of topple mountains and reverse waterfalls, Xia Zhi firmly grasped the exile and the pursuer!

The two magic wands struggled desperately, unleashing a powerful storm and lightning!

However, when the power of the Word of Power struck Xia Zhi's arms and body, it could only create dark golden light spots, failing to break through Xia Zhi's defenses.

Summer Solstice intensifies his power, causing both pursuers and exiles to wail in despair!

He wielded two weapons that originally belonged to Mekal, moving with such speed that they transformed into hurricanes capable of tearing everything apart, and attacked him in the opposite direction!

Looking at Xia Zhi's typical Asian appearance and the glowing magic circles on his body, Mekal suddenly didn't want to say anything.

"The strength of this formation is comparable to that of a supreme being! Just which guy from the Eastern Immortal Realm sent down to teach this disciple? This is utter chaos!"

However, Mekal didn't feel angry; in fact, he even felt a little amused.

After all, the word "deity" itself is just another way of saying "randomly"!

"As long as it amuses me, that's enough! Facing an opponent like this, which god who manifests as a god of rebellion could defeat him? Even Rama, who plays the role of the 'Last King' and 'Strongest Steel,' wouldn't be able to win!"

"Hehe. I really want to see Rama's expression when he faces him. Although I probably won't be able to witness that scene, I'm really looking forward to it!"

Although he knew that his mere divine avatar was no match for Xia Zhi, Mekal would not sit idly by and wait for his death!

"drink!"

He roared and ripped off his cloak.

Mekal's muscles bulged like the summer solstice, and his already massive body was as thick as a fist. The hardness of his flesh far exceeded that of steel!

He strode forward on his sandal-clad legs, transforming from a sky god-king into a wild, barbaric warrior, charging towards the summer solstice amidst storms and lightning!

When Xia Zhi seized the opportunity and aimed his two large clubs at Mekal's head, swinging them fiercely like striking a wild boar, the two clubs in his hands suddenly disappeared.

Mekal canceled the Word of Power, and the pursuers and exiles naturally disappeared as well.

"Hmph, you actually think you can use my weapons to attack me? How naive!"

With a swing of his iron fist, Mekal aimed for Xia Zhi's kidney.

"This is the scent of pleasure. It seems this kid has been having a good time these past few days! Well, even if I die, I won't let you get away with this!"

But before the smile that had just appeared on his lips could disappear, he was suddenly struck hard!

Xia Zhi sensed something was amiss just as the stick in his hand was about to disappear.

So, at that moment, his hands suddenly stretched out a distance!

Xia Zhi clasped his hands tightly together, like a heavy hammer, and slammed them down on Mekal's head!

Duang!

The sapphire-colored steel fist slammed into Mekal's head, making him see stars and even causing his crown to fall off.

Mekal's punching motion distorted, and his fist, now only carrying a fraction of its force, struck Xia Zhi's thigh, yet Xia Zhi remained completely still.

At the same time, he raised his right leg and slammed his knee into Mekal's head.

Still reeling from the dizziness, Mekal was a beat too slow in raising his hands to block.

Summer Solstice's kneecaps grazed his arms and delivered a heavy blow to Mekal's nose.

boom!

Click!

With a crisp sound of bones breaking, Mekal's nose was shattered by Xia Zhi.

This force then entered his cerebrum and cerebellum, making Mekal's head even more dizzy, almost unable to stand.

With both hands pressed against Mekal's neck, Xia Zhi's five fingers gathered a fierce wind, as if two sharp claws were piercing through.

He exerted force with both arms, his back muscles bulging like a crane, and pulled hard with his hands.

With a snap, Mekal's head was severed from his body by Xia Zhi.

At the same time, Xia Zhi felt a strange suction force trying to drag her primordial spirit away.

He naturally and subconsciously began to resist.

But when Xia Zhi appeared beside him, Mekal's spirit spoke to him.

"You cannot complete the Godslayer's ritual if you do not release your soul."

Xia Zhi gently shook her head, preparing to draw the Crimson Light Sword and engage in a real battle.

"I don't need the ritual of a god-slayer, I only need your divinity!"

Xia Zhi originally thought that after she said that, Mekal would be furious and reclaim his true power from the mythology to fight him.

But to Xia Zhi's surprise.

"Divinity?"

Mekal pondered for a moment: It's normal for someone who is a disciple of an unknown but certainly very powerful immortal from the Eastern Immortal Realm to look down on a god-slayer transformed through a ritual.

If he truly accepts power, it will feel more like a shackle than a benefit to him.

Mekal nodded readily, deciding to give the unknown immortal some face.

"You truly don't need power. So be it, defeat is defeat! A mere wisp of divinity is of no consequence to you!"

Seeing Xia Zhi's wary and puzzled expression, Mekal suddenly smiled knowingly.

"Didn't your master tell you anything?"

Chapter 175 Meeting with Pandora

Master? My master died hundreds of years ago!

Seeing that Mekal had clearly misunderstood something, Xia Zhi didn't say anything, but remained vigilant.

But Mekal seemed to have thought of something, and laughed even more heartily.

"Ah, so that's really how it is! That makes it even more interesting!"

The God-King raised his head and shouted at the empty space.

"Pandora, you've been watching all along, haven't you? Come out."

“I saw it. What a strange child.”

At Mekal's call, Pandora, in the form of a young girl, appeared in this place.

Obviously, the claim that she could only wait alone in the Netherworld for the birth of the Godslayer, preside over the ceremony, and offer blessings, and that she was unable to leave, is a lie.

Xia Zhi was not surprised when Pandora appeared.

During his fight with Mekal, he quickly became aware of being watched from the shadows.

Even after Pandora appeared, the feeling of being watched did not disappear.

This proves that someone is still observing from the shadows!

"Just as I suspected. This world is far more complex than I imagined! It's definitely not as simple as the conflict between the disobedient gods and the god-slayers depicted in the original work!"

After looking Xia Zhi up and down, who had transformed into a giant, Pandora tucked her hands into her wide sleeves and nodded with a smile.

"You don't have to become a god-slayer, that's fine too. But it wouldn't be good if I decided to become your mother without your consent. So, it's a happy decision!"

Seeing that Pandora, the ruler of this world, also agreed to do so, Mekal readily turned into golden light and disappeared.

At the same time, as he disappeared, a divine aura drifted to Xia Zhi.

"This divinity is entrusted to you, young man from the East. When you encounter the God of War, remember to give him a good beating!"

When Mekal returned to mythology, Pandora smiled and nodded at Xia Zhi before disappearing.

The feeling of being spied on from the shadows gradually faded away.

Xia Zhi lowered her head, surveying the surrounding environment, which had been ravaged by lightning and tornadoes and was no longer recognizable, and pondered in her heart.

"Judging from the situation just now, whose disciple did they take me for? So this really is a realm within a realm! The disobedient gods are just something the gods occasionally play around with!"

Xia Zhi was very clear about her identity.

He is a demon from beyond the realm!

"Since we've already gone this far, my true identity absolutely cannot be revealed. Anyway, I don't know who my 'master' is, so let them guess!"

Having withdrawn the divinity bestowed upon him by Mekal, Xia Zhi returned to his giant form and waited in place for a while.

Erica and Liliana flew over very quickly.

"king!"

Because of the rapid flight, their hair and coats had been dried.

But the underwear was wet and cold, sticking to my body, which felt very uncomfortable.

The two approached Xia Zhi and looked down at the devastation left by the great battle, exclaiming in shock.

"Is it over? The king killed Mekal?"

Xia Zhi looked at the two of them and asked.

How did you know it was Mekal?

Erica replied.

"After the king left, Princess Alice triggered her spiritual vision."

"I see."

Xia Zhi nodded gently and took their hands.

"Good, I have successfully defeated Mekal. Let's go back."

……

Upon returning to the Netherworld, Pandora meets Susanoo, who has been hiding his identity.

"So he's from the Celestial Realm! If there were immortals from the Celestial Realm helping him hide, then it's understandable why we can't find any information about him."

Susanoo sat in his little wooden hut, took a sip of sake with relish, and asked in confusion.

"But he seems unaware of his own identity?"

As the ruler of this world, Pandora must notify any deity that wishes to come and play as a "disobedient god."

This is something that is written in the "Covenant".

Therefore, she can understand.
