I really didn't want to burn it.

"Athena!"

Li Ang tried to grab Athena's foot and pull her back, but it was too late.

With Athena gone, the rift closed again, and everything returned to peace.

"Tch, is this the authority of a God-King?"

"All the gods drank the wine of covenant when they pledged allegiance to me! If they break the covenant, I will punish them!"

Zeus laughed smugly, "That's why they sought you out, Li Ang. Because only an outsider like you is beyond my control."

"interesting."

Li Ang curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.

"Now that I have become the hope of the whole village, I must live up to their expectations."

"I'll see."

Zeus remained confident, believing that he had no chance of losing.

Li Ang clasped his hands together, and various shimmering runes began to appear on his body. His magical power erupted, and his originally black eyes turned into an eerie gold.

The magic power diffused in the air began to converge on Li Ang at an accelerated pace. Not only did flames of golden-red aura appear on Li Ang's body, but three pairs of golden wings also appeared behind him, each wing engraved with various runes.

"Come on, Super Saiyan mode activated."

[Bullshit! When did you ever exchange for that wild monkey's bloodline? This is just a rune enhancement!]

"I see."

Zeus did not stop Li Ang from enhancing himself; instead, he observed and commented from the sidelines.

"Are you directly materializing the magic of nature onto your body? This is somewhat similar to how God mobilizes the power of nature through His authority, but it is far more sophisticated."

"Even I can only use a few of these attributes, but you have gathered the magic power of all attributes within yourself..."

At this point, Zeus's pupils suddenly contracted.

Li Ang, who was right in front of me, had disappeared without me noticing.

Zeus quickly waved his hand, and several lightning shields instantly formed around him.

"Trying to use high-speed movement like that?! Don't forget, I have someone like Hermes by my side!"

Bah!

With a loud bang, the shield on Zeus's right side was shattered.

A streak of golden light brushed past Zeus, tearing the hem of his robe to shreds.

A hint of surprise and anger flashed across Zeus's face.

This was the first time his clothes had been torn since he became the God King.

"roll!"

Zeus pointed his left hand at the darting golden light.

As Zeus moved, several bolts of lightning enveloped Li Ang from all directions.

Zeus's hand began to clench into a fist, and his palm gradually tightened from loose to firm.

As his movements changed, the power grid continued to compress and shrink inwards.

As Zeus clenched his fist completely, the entire temple was filled with lightning.

High-energy lightning once again illuminated the battlefield shrouded in dark clouds, and the massive lightning strike caused the temple to explode.

Everyone still on the battlefield, whether human or god, was thrown into panic by this immense divine power of lightning...

The king of gods was enraged.

Zeus, the culprit behind all this, showed no joy whatsoever; his inner voice still warned him that Leon was not dead at all.

Suddenly, Zeus drew his katana from his waist and swung it forward.

boom!

Li Ang's golden fist struck the blade of Zeus's longsword, unleashing a torrent of lightning that further devastated the already dilapidated temple.

Li Ang was not surprised that his attack was blocked, and he raised his fist again to attack Zeus once more.

Bah!

The attack occurred on the other side of Zeus's body.

Bah!Bah!Bah!

Li Ang's punches landed on Zeus's Japanese sword at an increasingly rapid pace, until it felt as if countless fists were attacking simultaneously.

"Nothing, nothing --"

While attacking, Leon also made strange noises to verbally harass Zeus.

[Host, in this situation, using "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" would be less fitting than using "Ada da da da" from Fist of the North Star, wouldn't it?]

"Who cares what we use, this is a time when we need to be really hot-blooded! Holy crap!"

Why the change of style again, back to Fist of the North Star?

"My pleasure."

【…】

This brief skirmish left Zeus in a rather disheveled state.

Fortunately, Zeus's new weapon was hard enough that Leon's attacks could not break through.

But continuing like this clearly did not go against Zeus's wishes.

"Get out of my way!"

Zeus managed to force Li Ang away by unleashing a dense network of lightning 2 kilometers in diameter centered on himself, using this high-intensity area attack.

"This is... such a loss of composure!"

For Zeus, who held himself in high esteem, having to resort to such means to force his opponent away was simply a disgrace.

As a god-king, I should be able to easily annihilate my enemies while chatting and laughing.

"Li Ang, I acknowledge your strength."

Zeus's blue eyes coldly watched as Li Ang charged towards him once again.

"But that's it for now!"

--------------

"Hahahaha! Come and chase me! Hahahaha!"

On the Golden Hind, Hermes ran errands while laughing maniacally.

By this time, Enkidu's Chains of Heaven were spread out densely on the deck, but they still couldn't stop this annoying guy.

Enkidu's original idea was to use the Chains of Heaven to reduce Hermes' range of movement and eventually trap and kill this hyperactive "fly".

To Enkidu's utter surprise, this "fly" was actually able to run on the Lock of Heaven!

Instead of restricting him, his own chains gave him more freedom of movement.

Unless Enkidu can bind Hermes with chains, given the exceptional divinity of the opposing god, the Chains of Heaven will have limited effect on him.

"Hahahahaha!"

Hermes roared as he charged toward Mash, who was lurking in the corner.

"Stop it!"

The commander, wielding his long sword, lunged at Hermes from behind, but Hermes easily dodged the attack.

"Damn it. Cough cough..."

The commander reluctantly wiped the rain off his face.

Of all the Servants present, she was the only one who could keep up with Hermes' speed in a short time.

However, against Hermes, who can change direction at any time and dodge left and right, Okita Souji, who can only keep up by sprinting in a straight line, is simply too inflexible.

"Hahahaha! Come and catch me! Come and hit me! You slowpokes will never catch me!"

Hermes's mesmerizing laughter disturbed everyone aboard the Golden Hind.

This feeling of being able to hear a mosquito buzzing, but unable to kill it, is so frustrating that it drives everyone crazy.

"Meow meow!"

Phil scratched his paws toward Hermes's direction in frustration, expressing his anger.

"No, Phil."

Ritsuka hugged the black cat tightly, trying to comfort it.

"Your attack power will be too great after you turn into a dragon; it will destroy the ship."

Phil in his dragon form is indeed very strong, but against someone like Hermes, it's like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

Regardless of whether the mosquitoes could actually hit the target, the Golden Deer would certainly be sunk as collateral damage.

With his soul core still damaged, Drake was simply unable to allow the Golden Hind to withstand Phil's devastating dragon breath.

boom! boom!

The roar of thunder echoed from the mountaintop, and Ritsuka instinctively covered her ears.

"The fight up there is really intense. I wonder if Li Ang can beat Zeus..."

Watching the lightning flashing across the sky, Ritsuka suddenly realized something, and she picked up Phil to confirm it.

"Hey, Phil. I remember Leon said you can control wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, right?"

"Meow meow~"

Phil gave Ritsuka a military salute, indicating that he was very capable.

Ritsuka smiled; she knew how to catch the "flies" on the ship.

On the other side, Hermes continued to run around wildly, his laughter becoming even more unrestrained.

"Hahahaha! You can't catch me~ The Heroic Spirits of Humanity can't catch me! I am the invincible Hermes!"

"Aww—Meow!"

A golden dragon leaped from the deck of the Golden Deer and hovered above the ship.

"Ok?"

Hermes didn't pay attention at first.

But the moment lightning struck again in the sky, Phil directly channeled the lightning into the chains.

The silver chains suddenly shimmered with a white light.

"Alas!"

Hermes, who was standing right on the chains, felt a jolt of electricity run from his feet straight to his head.

"It happened."

Hermes, whose legs were numb, lost his footing and fell off the chains, landing on the deck.

"Aww—Meow~"

Phil gave Hermes a smug snort, as if venting its dissatisfaction.

"Now you can't hide from me anymore!"
