I travel through countless worlds at the same time

"Oh, I'm really sorry, Aunt Diana. I'm just such an honest person that I accidentally spoke the truth."

"——Ah, Auntie!? Lily, did you hear that? This girl actually called me...Auntie! Hurry up and say something to her!"

"Alia, there should be a more appropriate way to address a girl like Diana, right?"

"Ah~ Lily, haven't you noticed that when you say something that doesn't mean it, you will always look away and not look directly into the other person's eyes when you speak... just like you did just now?"

Erica squinted at Liliana and then covered her mouth and chuckled.

"What did you say? Lily, are you just trying to fool me?"

"That's not the case! Erica, stop talking nonsense!"

Although she said this, Liliana still cared about the age of the women around her.

It was not because of anything else, but because when they first met, Liliana was only seven years old, while Diana was already a young girl.

About nine years have passed since then, and Diana is still smiling with that childlike face.

Having said that, time always passes. Recently, fine crow's feet have appeared at the corners of my eyes, and my skin is not as elastic as before.

How old is she? It’s better not to think too much.

Liliana quickly changed the subject.

"Is it really okay for the king to just run away once he gets here? As knights, aren't we supposed to always follow the king?"

ps: I may not be able to update this Saturday and Sunday due to the civil service exam, so I would like to ask for leave from everyone.

281. Pillars of Hera

"Don't worry, the king is the king, and we are just knights, so we just need to obey the king's orders."

Erica was very open-minded about this matter. If people had not seen how powerful Higashino Yu was, they would never believe it.

"Speaking of which, what kind of person is King Dongye?" Diana asked curiously as she looked at the two of them. Although Dongye You had already recruited the "Bronze Black Cross" under his command, only a few people could see his true face.

"Wang, you are a very good person." Lily thought of Higashino Yuushou's appearance and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Oh, it seems that Lily is really attracted to King Dongye. When can I meet a gentle man like King Dongye?"

Diana sighed as she looked at Liliana.

That’s right, in Dilina’s opinion, Higashino You is a very gentle person. You know, Higashino You came here to kill gods this time, but he did not bring Liliana, the witch, with him.

We are not talking about a witch who possesses magic. In the world of magic, this title means a lot.

Her rival, Erica Blondelli, is also a witch in a broad sense, but she is just a female magician.

There is a fine line between a witch and a mere magus.

This is a term that represents the descendants of women who became saints, witches, and priestesses in the most primitive times.

Naples was originally a colonial city of the ancient Greeks.

There are remains of quarries where slaves worked at the time, as well as remains of sewers and water tanks built by the Romans in later generations, and even remains of underground warehouses for storing grain and wine from the Middle Ages.

Those buildings still exist near the old city streets as underground ruins.

Although the underground ruins of the old city have become tourist attractions, there are still ruins that are not open to the public. Instead, they are sealed and hidden by the witches of Naples.

At this time, Higashino Yu was walking alone in a long and narrow underground ruins passage that looked like an abandoned tunnel.

If we trace it back to BC, this place was originally a quarry, so it is natural that it resembles an abandoned tunnel. However, the large number of murals carved everywhere on the walls do not make this the case.

They are all simple and plain line drawings. If you say that they were carved by humans in the Stone Age, maybe some people would believe it.

"I wonder if this thing can attract that guy like in the original book..." Higashino Yuu couldn't help but mutter as he looked at the giant snake with its long body coiled up on the wall, the nine-headed snake with several heads, and the snake with wings like a bat. There were all kinds of snakes carved on the wall.

In addition to snakes, there are also line drawings of cows, birds, pigs and lions.

Anyone with a little bit of magical training would know that these are all symbols of the Earth Mother Goddess. These murals were probably carved after the Roman Empire.

Ever since a certain male-centered monotheistic religion became the state religion, the priestesses who once possessed divine powers have been regarded as witches and hunted down.

So they fled underground, and in order to protect their wisdom, they built these underground temples for the purpose of conveying information.

These murals all depict the objects of the witch's faith, attempting to imitate the posture of God.

In the ancient world, the priestess who served the Mother Earth was the prototype of the witch.

With the spread of Christianity in Europe, the faith that had been held since ancient times was lost, or it could be said that it was suppressed and resisted. In this process, the witches who were supposed to be sacred were persecuted and became feared and tabooed beings.

Most of the ancient earth goddesses were goddesses of life and death who ruled both the earth and the underworld.

Athena, Ishtar, Isis, Tiamat, Hypnos and the list goes on. Aphrodite, known as the goddess of love and beauty, was originally a powerful goddess of the earth.

The sacred animal that represents the cycle between death and life is the snake.

Therefore, the snake became the symbol of the Earth Mother and the guardian of the witches.

Soon, he reached the depths of the underground temple.

Then what caught the eye was a pitch-black obsidian pillar, on the surface of which was engraved a line drawing that looked like a giant snake coiled. Although it was just a crude carving, it had a magical power that could attract the viewer's attention.

It was mentioned in Liliana's report that the magic club here found the Gorgon Slab this spring, and not long after that the stone pillar began to absorb magic power and respond. At first it could be hidden with magic, but as time went on, more and more magic power accumulated in the stone pillar, and they couldn't hide it even if they wanted to.

In the end, he had no choice but to find Higashino Yu to help solve the problem.

"The report shows that Hera is enshrined here, right?"

Higashino Yuu muttered as he looked at the stone pillar.

For most people, Hera has always been the third generation queen of heaven in ancient Greek mythology, as well as the goddess of marriage and fertility, one of the twelve main gods of Olympus. The daughter of the second generation of gods and queens, Cronus and Rhea, a co-ruler who shared power with Zeus, and Zeus' sister and seventh wife.

However, this goddess was originally the earth goddess of the Peloponnese Peninsula.

After it was invaded and conquered by the Indo-European horse-riding people who worshipped the sky god and were the prototype of Zeus, Hera was forced to become a goddess subordinate to Zeus.

In fact, the reason for this is that the mythology of the God Slayer world is different from that of other worlds. The mythology of the God Slayer world pays more attention to the origin of the mythology. Therefore, not only will a god be dressed in different vests, but the relationship between gods is also complicated.

In the past few years, Higashino Yu has been studying this issue, but even now there are still many legends that cannot be sorted out.

As long as the legends of the world are spreading, the legends of the gods in the myths will keep changing. Therefore, it will become more and more difficult to find the origin of (Zhao Qian Zhao).

"Then I will release you now."

Looking at the Pillar of Hera, Higashino Yu stretched out his fist, and then punched the pillar.

"boom!"

Along with the terrifying roar, the whole of Naples shook violently. Rumbling sounds continued to be heard from underground, causing the residents of the town above to look at the towering Mount Vesuvius in the distance with fear on their faces.

You should know that this volcano is known as "the most dangerous volcano in Europe". It once erupted violently in 79 AD, destroying the ancient city of Pompeii, which had more than 2 people at the time. If it erupts again this time, it is very likely that this place will become another ancient city of Pompeii for future generations to excavate.

Fortunately, the imagined volcano showed no signs of eruption, which made the residents living in Naples breathe a sigh of relief. However, they would never know that this was just the beginning of the crisis.

282. Perseus

At this moment, a dazzling light burst out from the dark Pillar of Hera. The next second, cracks appeared on the stone pillar, and then it exploded with a "boom", turning into fragments that shot in all directions.

The whistling sound was incessant, and each piece of debris had the force of a bullet as it hit the surrounding walls, leaving bullet holes in them.

If Liliana and the others were here, they would definitely be shocked speechless. The legendary Pillar of Hera, a divine artifact that even a magic sword could hardly cut through, was now shattered by just one punch from Higashino Yu.

then.

The cursed power accumulated in the Hera Pillar instantly erupted like magma.

The cursed power seemed to be real, flashing with dazzling brilliance, directly shattering the ceiling of the underground ruins, and then bursting into the sky.

Ennnnn!!!!

The monster's roar broke the sky, and a terrifying gale instantly swept across Naples.

The three witches who were originally chatting in the book room suddenly changed their expressions and looked in the same direction at the same time.

"This voice is..."

"The voice of the dragon!"

Before Liliana could finish her words, Erica on the side insisted that it was not because of anything else, but because she had seen this thing not long ago and was very sensitive to its cry.

In the world of God Slayer, things like earth veins or spirit veins, after materializing, appear as Dragon 787.

So there are dragon legends almost everywhere in the world.

They can control wind and rain, and can also spit out poisonous fog and magma.

Although the appearance of dragons in different regions is slightly different, no matter which one it is, it cannot be denied that it is always the top beast in mythology.

"What is the king going to do? Is he trying to slay the dragon?"

When Diana said this, her face changed.

As mentioned above, all the dragons in this world are transformed from earth veins or spirit veins, so once a dragon is slaughtered, it means that this land will also become a dead place.

"Don't worry, Wang is not that kind of person. He must have his own considerations."

Erica has complete trust in Higashino Yu. How could a king who even chooses to fight the God of Disobedience outside the city for fear of affecting the local economy casually damage the spiritual vein of a piece of land?

With the help of the magic of the three people, they quickly arrived at the scene, and then saw Higashino Yu standing below and looking up at the sky.

"king."

"Yo."

Higashino Yu was not at all surprised at the arrival of the three people.

"King, (cgac) are you going to slay a dragon? But a dragon like this is still only in the category of divine beasts, I'm afraid you won't be able to gain power from it."

Erica asked curiously as soon as she landed.

"What a joke! I don't care about a mere dragon. But now that the dragon has appeared, shouldn't the dragon-slayer warrior also appear?"

Higashino Yu looked around with excitement on his face.

"Could it be that you are fishing, King? Not fishing for gods?"

Liliana opened her eyes wide in disbelief.

"Of course he's here!"

As Higashino Yu was speaking, his eyes were looking towards the distant sky.

And the girls also looked in the direction he was looking.

Along with a flash of lightning across the sky, the flashing lightning turned into a human shape, with golden hair that reminded people of the dazzling sun, and eyebrows that were beautiful and not weak. His body was as strong as a god.

The white clothes and cloak he wore were clearly not modern attire.

“The God of Disobedience”.

The moment they met, they confirmed each other's identities.

"Well, now that dragon is of no use, put it away."

Looking at the emerging man, Higashino You smiled, then stretched out his hand towards the giant dragon in the sky. A terrifying storm instantly erupted from his hand. The strong storm turned into chains, which bound it in front of Higashino You under the gaze of several women.

"Just stay here now." With a smile on his face, Higashino You took out a blank artifact bead and placed it on the dragon's head. As the light flowed, the dragon was sucked into it. At the same time, the originally pale bead also had a gem-like green color.

After completing all this, he turned his attention to the God of Disobedience who was coming from afar.

"Oh my! It seems that the reason why the dragon appeared this time is because you are attracting me."

The young man was slightly stunned when he saw Higashino Yu's actions, and then he couldn't help but smile.

"That's right, I'm the God Slayer Higashino Yuu, so come and show me what you can do!"

"Haha, I didn't expect to meet a fool like you as soon as I showed up. I was just worrying about how to tell my name. Since you've already told me your name, I'll tell you mine too. I'm Perseus, the one who killed Medusa. Fool, remember this name well, because it may be the last name of the disobedient god you remember!"

He looked at Higashino Yuu and his eyes revealed the same fighting spirit as Higashino Yuu.

"It's a great stage for a fight next to the sun and ancient buildings."

"Is it Perseus?"

Liliana and Erica looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes, not for any other reason, but mainly because they did not forget that Higashino Yu had obtained the Gorgon's stone tablet not long ago, and Gorgon and Perseus were fateful enemies in the legend.

"Hehe, I think so too. It would be such a beautiful thing to decorate my achievements with your head."

"Hahaha, you're going to take my head right off the bat? That's a pretty good fighting spirit."

Although Perseus was saying this, the madness in his eyes could no longer be concealed.
