You are very strong, but my painting style is better than yours!

On the chest, shoulders, wrists, and ankles—black patterns swirled around them, gleaming with a faint red light, like the shackles of a prisoner or the ropes binding a wild beast.

Forbidden Technique of Breaking the Dao!

"One bone!"

Taking a step and assuming a fighting stance, Iori calmly threw a punch forward—

In an instant, all the clouds in the universe surged in the opposite direction!

A sharp shriek, like that of a dragon, ripped through the air, and a spiraling force erupted instantly like a trigger being pulled, breaking the tusks of the oncoming wild boar and cracking its skull!

It was as if time had slowed down, allowing one to clearly see how the ferocious head of the divine beast was flattened by an invisible force, its flesh and bones twisted and deformed before cracking—

boom!

The mythical beast, as large as a small mountain, was completely pierced through, and countless pieces of flesh, along with blood, spilled into the sea, creating a horrifying sight resembling a blood pool from hell.

"Varied--"

The young war god's pupils shrank suddenly. Without thinking, he activated his avatar, merging into the air currents and drifting away with the wind.

However, this tried-and-true move was stopped by Iori's punch—

A powerful force swept across everything, tearing the atmosphere apart. Transparent ripples stretched along the sea surface to the horizon, leaving behind a vast vacuum.

Vereslana's short figure appeared in the void, his whole body stiff as if half of it was frozen, and even the smile on his face was unusually forced.

"Such a thing could actually happen... Is this your most powerful ability, Godslayer?!"

"Power? From beginning to end, it is not the power of power."

Without warning, Iori appeared in front of Vereslana. The young war god gritted his teeth and thrust out his golden sword, but the tip shattered into countless pieces the moment it made contact with his fist, and then pierced through his chest and straight to his back!

"Hmm... what exactly is this illogical power..."

"This is not the divine nature of any god, but a technology born from the ultimate application of human wisdom."

Iori said calmly, "The reason you were able to sever the 'Great Sage Equaling Heaven's' divine status is because I deliberately revealed it. Otherwise, why would I deliberately transform myself into such an easily recognizable form?"

"you……"

Vereslana was stunned, incredulous. "Could it be?!"

"That's right, I knew how this battle would end before it even started—did you really think I only said I was practicing my transformation to provoke you?"

A cold white light flashed across Iori's glasses: "It's because as long as you expose this flaw, you will use the Word of Power Sword with full confidence, and then suffer defeat at the peak of your power."

"...Am I actually the one who has revealed all my cards?"

The young war god gave a wry smile, "They actually used such a powerful divine status as the 'Great Sage Equaling Heaven' as bait... They had clearly suppressed me completely, but they still didn't use any other abilities... which led me to misjudge the situation."

"Interesting, right?"

Iori smiled slightly and said, "People will doubt everything that is right in front of them, but they will be convinced of the 'truth' they have found—"

When did you begin to have the misconception that I was merely the 'Monkey King'?

"Heh...hehe...cough!"

The young war god revealed a bright smile, his body transforming into a stream of wind as he left Iori's side. However, he did not run away, nor did Iori chase after him. She simply watched as he reappeared a hundred meters away.

Vereslana's smile grew even brighter, and his aura, sharp as a divine sword, remained undiminished.

"That was exhilarating! Absolutely exhilarating! This is the kind of battle I've always wanted!"

"It seems you are quite satisfied, and to be honest, I am quite happy as well."

Iori laughed heartily: "This world is really nice, there are many worthy opponents... although you will all eventually become stepping stones for me to go further."

"The victors enjoy all the cheers and glory, while the losers become stepping stones in the dust. This is the destiny of heroes!"

"Foreigner... no, warrior from another world, perhaps it is on the verge of death that one sees the truth most clearly. I now finally understand why I lost this battle... Clearly, you knew of my legacy all along, but I knew nothing about you!"

Vereslana laughed loudly: "Complete defeat! A complete defeat indeed! From strategy to tactics, I have lost to you, Aizen Iori!"

"Be prepared, Your Excellency, the God of War!"

"At this point, there's no need to say anything more!"

Iori and Vereslana charged at each other simultaneously, creating storm-like spatial ripples in the atmosphere.

The god-slayer pushed his physical strength to its limit, while the disobedient god, combining the impact of the [wild boar] and the suppression of the [bull], cleaved the ocean in two, creating a bottomless, impenetrable wall of water—

boom! ! !

The dark clouds in the sky also dispersed instantly, and the two created a forbidden zone that no living being could enter.

A series of cracking sounds rang out, and without a doubt, the outcome was clear!

The young war god, covered in blood, flew backward, a smile on his face as he watched Iori catch up.

"In the end... right up to the end... we didn't gain any advantage whatsoever..."

boom!

Like the tail of a comet, a crimson-gold "divine sword" cleaved the boundary between the sky and the sea! Billions of tons of seawater evaporated in an instant!

"I hope we can meet again, Aizen Iori... my most terrifying enemy!"

……

The Boy of Destiny

Type: Special.

Quality: None.

Level: None.

Introduction: The power created by usurping the divine power of Vereslana and combining the three incarnations of "Boy", "White Horse" and "Warrior" into one (with "Boy" as the core).

Throughout history, in the traditions of various civilizations, "youth" has been a symbol of miracles and hope. Because they are full of infinite possibilities, they are destined to achieve great things.

Abilities Overview:

When using this ability, your height and appearance will be displayed as if you are under sixteen years old.

It grants the user the "Hero" trait, granting them special attacks against "Evil," "Demons," and "Dragons."

All stats receive a slight boost, Luck receives a significant boost, and Instant Death Resistance receives a significant boost.

Protecting others and making humans obey (influenced by one's own charisma and leadership).

One can bestow blessings upon others through the exchange of bodily fluids, granting blessings on both the physical and spiritual levels.

white horse.

To the great sinner who has brought suffering to the people, we call upon the white horse that carries the sun, and to unleash the sun's flames upon the target.

warrior.

Words of power can be woven into a golden sword for attack. If the opponent is a god, it is equivalent to the strongest shield and the strongest sword. However, one must have a very detailed understanding of the god who is the enemy.

For a disobedient god, his divine status is severed; for a god-killer, his power is severed.

Multiple golden swords can be forged at once, but each sword can only correspond to one incantation at a time. If you want to change an incantation, you must reforge it.

Chapter 384 I am the [King of the World]!

Finally, Iori stared at the golden sword floating in front of him and took a deep breath.

There's no need to elaborate on how useful Vereslana's [Warrior] Avatar is, but Iori has an even more important reason for targeting it:

This is a powerful weapon against the goddess of fate!

So-called fate is invincible precisely because it is unpredictable; no matter how sharp the sword or how heavy the club, it cannot kill it.

but!

"Fate" and "Goddess of Fortune" are closely related, but they are not equivalent.

The former is an intangible and formless rule, somewhat similar to the Heavenly Dao or destiny in fantasy novels, while the latter is given a certain personality by mythology.

Even if a goddess has a weak sense of self, she cannot deny this!

Since it is a "concrete existence", it is no longer frightening and it is entirely possible to defeat it!

To achieve this, one must have the appropriate means. The Goddess of Fate exists in a special form, and pure physical or energy attacks are ineffective.

With Iori's strength, if he were willing to be ruthless, destroying the surface would only take a little longer. However, he lacked the strength to deal with the Goddess of Fate, and the Golden Sword filled that gap.

The goddess of fate possesses divine status!

If we deconstruct the divine nature, then we can naturally defeat it.

Frankly, this won't eliminate the problem permanently (that's impossible), because the root of all problems, "fate," already exists, so the goddess will eventually return to this world.

However, Iori didn't intend to fight to the death with something so ethereal and unpredictable. In any case, he could leave this world at any time and didn't need to worry about being controlled by fate—besides, a god-slayer is an unbound being.

Returning to his previous action plan:

Its ultimate goal is simply to liberate Rama, eliminate the hidden dangers of the savior sword, and leave with this incredibly cool limited-edition weapon.

Of course, it's also important to collect a few powers along the way.

Whether it's killing the disobedient god or banishing the god-killer, these are all steps to achieve this plan. As long as the final result satisfies him, it doesn't matter if the process is slightly adjusted.

Therefore, after Luo Hao fell into the void, Iori did not continue to pursue him, because for him, it was enough to let Luo Hao leave this world.

He had obtained the power to sever godhood, and his plan had taken a giant leap forward!

Now, all we need to do is clean up the demons and monsters still active in this world. There's no need to obsess over making it look beautiful; efficiency is the priority.

After all, you never know when the goddess of fortune will come knocking!

Currently, Iori also has the Holy King of the Mediterranean to deal with. Because she is distracted by controlling an avatar to fight against him, Iori is also keeping an eye on the situation there while fighting Vereslana. The two sides have always maintained a state of evenly matched strength.

The two fought relentlessly, and Mekal, as the embodiment of the storm, had moved the battlefield thousands of kilometers away.

The avatar wasn't incapable of suppressing the God-King, but rather feared that his own power wouldn't be enough to kill him cleanly. If he escaped, it would cause a lot of trouble—Mekal was both a brave warrior and a cunning king, and he couldn't be expected to fight to the death like Veleslana.

Now that things are settled on the main side, we can finally join forces to kill Mekal!

"Ok?"

At that moment, Iori's main body and clone, though separated by thousands of miles, simultaneously exclaimed in surprise and looked up at the sky.

……

"This is……"

The avatar narrowed its eyes slightly, "Your Majesty, God-King, this wasn't done by you, was it?"

Mekal also raised his head, his thick eyebrows revealing a pair of lion-like eyes that blazed with fury: "Who dares to invade the domain of the King of Kings!"

call--! ! !

A sudden gust of wind swept in from the sky without warning, stirring up the entire cloud layer and making the dark clouds and lightning swirl like an ocean whirlpool, extending downwards into a tornado capable of tearing everything apart.

Not just one, but a total of thirteen tornadoes descended from the sky, connecting the sea and the heavens like pillars supporting the sky. At the same time, these thirteen tornadoes seemed to possess a mind of their own, relentlessly attacking Iori and Mekal.

The power of the storm?

—The moment this thought appeared in the avatar's mind, Mekal roared.

"How dare these petty scoundrels be so insolent!"

Boom, boom! ! !

After the raging wind came countless bolts of lightning. Mekal had already gathered a large number of thunderclouds here, and now they all became active, releasing all the lightning power they had accumulated.

Tornadoes and lightning intertwined, creating a shimmering passage between the sea and the sky. The forest, resembling the Tower of Babel, stretched out before us, making humanity seem as insignificant as a speck of dust.

The troublemaker was an unknown figure, yet his dominance in the sky was no less than that of Mekal. The two immense magical powers waxed and waned, making it difficult to determine who was superior for the time being.

Iori frowned, and a powerful aura emanated from him: "I'll help you—Universal Pull!"

[The Third Power, Susanoo]!

When this power was activated, just as the literal meaning suggests, the entire celestial sphere was affected. The clouds were gathered into a huge vortex, and an invisible wind swept everything away. The powerful tornado was restrained and weakened. Mekal suddenly exerted his power, and lightning instantly shattered it, causing a huge shockwave to spread out.

"come out!"
