The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing

#447 - I am the strongest and hold all the victories in my hands!

The unfailingly successful divine sword had slain the goat and phoenix that were wreaking havoc on the town, which was undoubtedly a relief, but both Erica and Lucrezia wore solemn and worried expressions.

“That’s the ninth one already.”

“Counting that boy…”

The incarnations of the Undefeated East, the boar, the strong wind, the camel, the ram, the bull, the white horse, plus the goat, phoenix, and golden sword they had just seen, all nine incarnations had now appeared.

Adding to that, the old-fashioned boy had said that he would reclaim all of his incarnations.

That would mean that the other party—Veleslana—had returned to his peak, or at least was very close to it.

It would be one thing if the other party were to leave just like that, but the current situation is…

Everyone looked ahead.

Dark clouds gathered over the island, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and magical power continuously converged, with immense pressure emanating from there. The tense atmosphere had already spread from several kilometers away, causing people's hearts to beat faster.

“As expected, it won’t end so easily.”

Erica, on the roof of the car, murmured softly.

They had known in advance that the battle between the Disobedient Gods would never end easily, and that when the Undefeated East War God recovered all of his incarnations, it would be the trigger for the second round of the battle.

“Arianna!”

“Yes! Milady, I’m going to accelerate again!”

This car was probably modified, and under the already fast conditions, it suddenly accelerated even more.

In just 15 minutes.

They arrived at the coast.

The first thing that caught their eyes was a giant, a middle-aged man with messy hair that looked like it had never been cut, and a beard that covered the lower half of his face, making a strong impression, with a very wild appearance, and a height of about 20 meters.

Solid, well-proportioned muscles.

His body was so majestic, powerful, and sacred.

Despite wearing very rough clothing, dirty rags and a leather breastplate on his chest, and a tattered cloak on his body, he exuded an aura of majesty, making people want to bow down and submit just by facing him.

The God-King Baal.

No, on this island, he should be called Melqart.

“T-that is…”

Erica's voice trembled slightly, and a slight timidity appeared on her beautiful face. Her shoulders couldn't help but tremble the moment she saw him.

No one ridiculed her, and no one teased her, because it was truly terrifying.

This was a King.

The King of Kings, the King of Gods.

Governing the heavens, even if he were to destroy the world and all of humanity, it would be allowed, an absolute authority, whose very aura made people want to kneel down and submit.

Erica bowed slightly.

Her face was filled with despair, as she finally understood the gap between herself and the Disobedient God—a gap that was over a hundred times greater than the difference between an ordinary person and a genius. The pride of the genius witch was completely shattered, and just facing him was enough to blow away any will to resist.

Unlike divine beasts, a true Disobedient God is even more powerful and awe-inspiring, defeated so badly that even uttering harsh words was impossible, no, they didn’t dare to.

A sense of humiliation, a sense of powerlessness.

And also anger at herself.

The source of Erica's brilliance was a firm belief in her own talent, strength, and achievements, and when these were broken or encountered an unreachable existence, she would naturally fall from the altar and become an ordinary person.

In the end, she hadn't even ascended to the altar, no, she couldn't even touch it, she could only look up from the very bottom… no different from Kusanagi Godou next to her, both like small insects, easily crushed.

At this moment, a hand was placed on her shoulder.

It was Zun Zun.

He didn't say anything, his face still calm, but his red eyes exuded a captivating, intense light, as if revealing his own conviction from within.

For some reason, Erica suddenly calmed down, her slightly hunched posture straightened, and she raised her head and chest, revealing a confident smile like a lioness.

At this moment, with a crack—

A fierce lightning bolt fell from the sky, slamming heavily onto the God-King Melqart, as if to demonstrate its own existence.

That terrifying pressure could no longer be ignored, even though he seemed so small compared to the God-King's 20-meter-tall giant body.

“Boy… Veleslana.”

Floating in mid-air was the boy who had a connection with them, but there was something slightly off.

Thin and not very tall, yet he had a very powerful presence.

His delicate face didn't seem human, but rather a replica based on humans, looking like a work of art even more charming than humans.

No wonder Erica was wary of Zun Zun from the beginning, because the gods almost all have extremely handsome faces, making people involuntarily sink into them.

Just then, a huge club fell from the sky, about to smash heavily into the boy's body. If he were hit, that slender body would surely be torn apart again.

“Please wait!”

A red magic circle appeared between the two.

It was Erica.

She held a shield in her hand at some point, and at the same time said loudly: “I have a presumptuous request, can you please stop fighting?”

“Impolite witch.” The God-King snorted heavily, forcing Erica to take a step back, “This place has now become the place for us to determine the victor, give up, human!”

The voice was deafening, issuing a declaration that was not easy to refuse.

The boy also looked over, but his gaze first fell on Zun Zun and Kusanagi Godou, and said loudly:

"I warn you first, your body is just that of an ordinary person; do not interfere in the war between us. The same goes for the witches over there. Although they have some knowledge of demonic arts, they are far from possessing our power. The paths of humans and gods can never intersect."

It seemed to be declaring a certainty, pronouncing the outcome from this very moment.

"But it's not impossible! Right?"

Zun Zun stepped forward.

His long, black hair fluttered constantly, and the robes he wore billowed continuously. His expressionless face held a pair of scarlet eyes, staring intently at the two rebellious gods above.

Those were the eyes of a beast eyeing its prey.

"If it were truly impossible, there wouldn't be any Godslayers, would there?"

These light words were filled with weight.

It was contempt, disdain, animosity. Undoubtedly, these were the most humiliating words, the most infuriating taunts, the most vicious curses.

To the gods, the existence of Godslayers was the most intolerable act of usurping power by mere rats.

However—

"Haha, hahahaha—"

The boy was the first to burst into laughter.

His laughter carried a sense of delight, as if he deeply admired it. He laughed loudly and said, "Excellent! Truly excellent! As I thought, I did not misjudge you! You are a warrior, the purest of warriors!"

"Please call me Grand Magus."

Zun Zun said with a calm expression.

The God-King, however, did not possess the same magnanimity as the boy. He felt somewhat offended and annoyed, and he snorted resentfully.

"To dare say such things, and before me, the King of Gods, is truly presumptuous and deserves punishment! Only a few fools succeed in doing so. The vast majority are just daydreaming. Do you think you can do it!?"

"Unfortunately, I have quite a bit of confidence in my own luck."

Zun Zun touched his crown.

"Besides, God-King, your opponent is not me, but..."

He looked towards Kusanagi Godou, who was trembling slightly beside him.

And this was undoubtedly another humiliation for the God-King.

"If it were you, it would barely be enough, but to think it's actually...! Receive divine punishment!"

With a resounding boom.

Lightning descended from the sky, displaying divine might, intending to strike Zun Zun, who had offended him, with full force. However, it was blocked by a golden sword—or rather, sliced apart.

"Don't be so angry, God-King. Just consider it a pre-war amusement, or perhaps…"

The boy said provocatively.

Unexpectedly, Kusanagi Godou suddenly shouted, "What's wrong, God-King! Are you afraid? Afraid of me, a mere mortal!?"

"Wh...!?"

The God-King was stunned.

Even Zun Zun didn't expect him to dare provoke the God-King in such a way.

Kusanagi Godou smiled wryly and said, "Didn't you tell me, Zun Zun, that when facing a powerful opponent, you should start by making bold threats? That way, you can die with dignity."

"Although I did say that..."

Zun Zun chuckled wryly.

Then, he stuffed a stone tablet into his arms.

"This is..."

"Compared to me, Godou, you need it more. Let Lucrezia teach you how to use it; after all, she is the original owner. Don't worry, you will win. Because I have already seen that future."

"...Okay! Leave it to me!"

Kusanagi Godou hugged the stone tablet and charged towards the other side with Lucrezia, successfully drawing away the God-King with his provocative words.

"Erica, you too..."

"I'm staying here."

As if guessing what Zun Zun was about to say, Erica spoke first, even repeating herself.

"I'm staying here. Because, compared to that guy, this side seems more likely to successfully defeat the rebellious god. As a witness, I want to imprint all of this in my mind."

"...If that's what you want to do."

Zun Zun did not stop the willful girl.

"Hey, have you two finished talking?"

"Thank you for your kindness; we have finished talking."

Above the sky, the boy thoughtfully waited for them to discuss their battle plan. This was showing off his confidence, confidence in his own strength.

Indeed.

Unlike when they first met, the current boy... Veleslana, had regained all of his incarnations, including the White Horse.

Zun Zun's eyes could clearly see that his own magical power did not increase from 1 to 10, but had reached a level of 100!

Like the class he transcended when the number of fairies increased, the boy was different from before.

"I say, do you remember our agreement?"

"What are you talking about? I don't remember having any agreement with you."

The boy seemed to have forgotten.

However, Zun Zun didn't say much, only continuing to speak on his own.

"At that time, I certainly won you with luck, but in reality, I also used the power of the crown. Granted, one could argue that using the crown is also one's own power, but at that time, you weren't complete, were you? In other words, you didn't completely lose..."

"What are you trying to express?"

"What I want to say is... this time! This time, I will definitely win you! With strength!"

This answer seemed to satisfy the boy. A ferocious smile appeared on his handsome face at that moment, and Zun Zun returned the same smile.

One man and one god, speaking in unison:

"I (We) am the strongest, and the one who holds all victories. Whether human or demon—I (We) will crush the hostility of all enemies who stand before me, and I (We) will surely destroy any enemy that blocks my (our) path!" X2

He would slay a god.

And then, declare those words with pride!
