Under the gaze of countless eyes.
[Sun God] exploded in the sky, transforming into an unprecedented, unimaginably massive and dazzling firework.
This firework was so bright that people thousands of miles away in the heart of China could see the radiant glow in the sky without relying on live broadcasts.
Everyone walked out of their homes in stunned silence or stood by their windows, staring at the illuminated sky.
The oppressive might of the Council of Gods had weighed down on the people of China like a mountain, suffocating countless souls under its pressure.
Amidst the endless frustration, there had been no hope of resistance or victory against them.
Before these gods who stood above all mortals, no one in China could confidently claim they could win.
Online, countless traitors had already been jumping around in frenzy.
Some had even created a new "Council of Gods Divine Cult," urging the Chinese people to worship the Council of Gods as gods.
But now, [Sun God], the council member who had once posed such a dire threat, had been blasted apart midair by Qin Shi Huang.
The unstoppable might of Qin Shi Huang's Great Wall Orbital Cannon instantly sent waves of jubilant cheers surging through the crowd—
-[Holy shit! My firepower deficiency anxiety is cured—this feels so good I can't breathe! I'll worship Qin Shi Huang forever!]
-[Qin Shi Huang: Fake gods of the Council of Gods, behold what true firepower saturation looks like!]
-[Hahaha, they say the Council of Gods illuminates the darkness—well, I believe it now, because the Sun God really did light up the heavens! Tears of joy are streaming from the corners of my mouth!]
-[Truly, what a selfless Sun God, willingly turning into a blaze to illuminate the darkness—so, when are the rest of the Council of Gods council members going to follow suit?]
-[Finally, some relief! I was arguing with those traitors across thousands of posts earlier, all of them arrogantly declaring China was doomed. Well, keep talking now if you dare!]
...
At the Fuyuki Grand Hotel.
Mordred stood on the balcony, staring up at the sky in shock. "Incredible… Qin Shi Huang actually possesses the same power as in the Lostbelt!"
In Lostbelt of Qin, she had also appeared, fighting alongside Nameless against Qin Shi Huang.
But Qin Shi Huang had been holding back the entire time.
Out of the hundreds of heroes in the Lishan Hero Vault, he had only summoned Han Xin and Qin Liangyu.
All the other legendary warriors remained dormant.
The Great Wall, supposedly built to defend against the Star-Spangled Titan, had only been used in fragments—dropped like meteors.
Now, witnessing the true power of the Great Wall Orbital Cannon, she felt chills run down her spine.
It was terrifying!
Even the mighty [Sun God], a council member, had been instantly vaporized under hundreds of cannon blasts.
That was a genuine divine-class battleship!
If Qin Shi Huang had gone all out back when they were restoring the Lostbelt—
No, better not think about it.
Mordred was certain she wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
She'd probably lift her blanket only to see the Great Wall Orbital Cannon glowing menacingly, ready to blast her to smithereens!
"To think he treats the Great Wall as a Noble Phantasm… His power has reached unimaginable heights." Artoria's expression was equally grave.
Originally, they had all been top-tier Heroic Spirits, with strength so comparable they could be ranked side by side.
So, why did you suddenly gain the power of a Lostbelt King?
If she could fully unseal the Star Holy Sword, she might be able to withstand the Great Wall Orbital Cannon.
After all, the first wielder of the Holy Sword once struck down the Alien God's vanguard—
The Titan Altera—
14,000 years ago!
That terrifying enemy once swept through the civilizations of the West, effortlessly crushing Uruk, Greece, and other pantheons, becoming the catalyst for the complete demise of the Age of Gods.
Even the Olympian gods, who had traveled from afar, were easily defeated, forced to abandon their machine god forms and assimilate into the local Greek mythos.
Had the first Holy Sword wielder not intervened, not only the gods but all human civilization would have been annihilated!
Qin Shi Huang spent three hundred years constructing the Great Wall in space precisely to guard against this fearsome foe.
This is also the fundamental reason why the Council of Gods obtained the remnants of the machine gods.
Gawain basked in the sunlight yet felt a chill run through his body: "He just obliterated the [Sun God] council member?"
His title was the [Knight of the Sun], and his weapon was Excalibur Galatine, a sister blade to Excalibur.
It could channel a fraction of the sun's power, multiplying his combat prowess under sunlight.
Among the Knights of the Round Table, his strength was second only to King Arthur.
Yet.
The [Sun God] battleship, far more formidable than him, had been annihilated head-on by the Great Wall Orbital Cannon.
As the Knight of the Sun, he suddenly felt a strange kinship with the fallen deity.
First, in the Lostbelt, an unnamed arrow stripped the White-Faced Golden-Furred Nine-Tailed Fox of its solar power. Now, Qin Shi Huang had obliterated the [Sun God].
Do you two have some kind of vendetta against the sun?
Mordred asked curiously, "So, just how powerful is the Great Wall Orbital Cannon?"
Even the [Sun God] battleship's defensive barrier was shattered in a single strike—its power was unimaginable.
"A single shot from the Great Wall Orbital Cannon is roughly on par with my Holy Sword, though weaker than the [Sun God] battleship's main cannon," Gawain replied.
On this matter, he was the most qualified to speak.
After all, like the [Sun God] council member, he wielded the power of the sun.
Mordred was even more stunned: "So, that earlier volley was equivalent to hundreds of you unleashing your full power simultaneously???"
Hundreds of Gawains attacking at once would be an unprecedented, terrifying force.
Against such a barrage, no one could withstand it head-on—except perhaps with the protection of the scabbard [Avalon].
No wonder the [Sun God] council member was instantly obliterated. Truly, its power defies imagination.
A single volley could sink Fuyuki City in an instant!
For a moment, she felt the urge to rush over and cling to his leg.
Compared to a Lostbelt King wielding the Great Wall Orbital Cannon, even her father seemed a little outmatched!
Not just them—every Heroic Spirit was deeply shaken.
Even the gods of the Council of Gods were left in disbelief.
The [Moon Goddess] cried out in shock, "No! Impossible! Ja—ce—!"
Her brother had just been annihilated on the spot?
"Councilor Jace?" The [Goddess of Wisdom] was equally stunned, unable to calculate the true extent of this power.
Unthinkable.
How could a mere mortal obliterate a god in an instant?
The [God of the Underworld] roared in fury, "Ying Zheng, you dare strike against us? I shall grant you death—no, I will tear out your soul and condemn it to eternal torment in the flames!"
Originally, the Council of Gods had come together with the sole purpose of completely suppressing China's Qin Shi Huang and Nameless, thereby dominating the entire planet.
After this battle, the gods of the Council of Gods would replace the Almighty as the faith of all humanity.
By then, they would control human history, gaining power comparable to the terrifying might of humanity's evils.
But now, the moment Qin Shi Huang appeared, he had already obliterated the [Sun God] battleship with a single strike—like a massive slap across the faces of all the council members.
Under the gaze of the Council of Gods, the cannons along the Great Wall of Space on Qin Shi Huang's back gleamed with power.
He spoke calmly, "In the narrow crevice between heaven and earth, mankind should stand thus—enforcing new laws! You are nothing but false gods and thieves, long overdue for your exit!"
In this world of survival of the fittest, truth only exists within the range of one's cannons.
Now, having regained the power of the Lostbelt King, Qin Shi Huang could freely threaten the gods.
Only by completely subduing the Council of Gods could true freedom be restored to China.
At that moment, Nameless suddenly projected a familiar weapon in his hand—none other than the [Sun-Shooting Bow] and [Sun-Shooting Arrow] from the Lostbelt of Qin, the very tools that had stripped the sun's power from the Beast of Humanity, Tamamo-no-Mae.
These two artifacts were both A+ rank Noble Phantasms, and when combined, they possessed truly EX-rank, reality-breaking power.
Back then, to strip Tamamo-no-Mae of her solar authority, Nameless had sacrificed his Grand Archer Saint Graph and expended his only true [Sun-Shooting Arrow].
Without the [Sun-Shooting Arrow], its full power should have been impossible to unleash.
But now, he had a better substitute.
Nameless smiled and pointed toward the slowly dimming explosion at the center. "In my name, with the power of the sun, I shall forge a new [Sun-Shooting Arrow]!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A massive furnace manifested behind him, the sound of hammering echoing through the void.
It wasn't just Qin Shi Huang who had benefited from the earlier exposed footage.
Nameless, too, had regained some of his strength.
For instance, the ability to forge weapons surpassing even the divine—learned from Tamamo-no-Mae, the nine-tailed fox who held the authority of the [Weapon Deity]—could now be used once more.
"Hmm???"
[Hades] froze for a moment before realizing. "You damned bastard—you're trying to use the [Sun God]'s authority to forge a [Sun-Shooting Arrow]!"
Once they understood, the Council of Gods nearly exploded with rage.
This—this was the very definition of a public humiliation!
First, Qin Shi Huang had obliterated the [Sun God] battleship with the Great Wall's orbital cannons.
Now, Nameless was openly using the remnants of the [Sun God]'s explosion to forge an arrow capable of shooting down the sun itself!
The Council of Gods roared in fury, "STOP THIS AT ONCE!"
"Oh? And why should I?"
Far from stopping, Nameless accelerated the process.
The furnace behind him voraciously devoured the scattered solar energy, refining it into the ultimate fuel—forging his very own [Sun-Shooting Arrow]!
This scene was broadcast live for all to witness—a public execution of the Council of Gods' dignity!
Previously, after the [Sun God] was blasted apart, the gods of the Council of Gods immediately shut down the live broadcast, unwilling to let their dignity be trampled underfoot.
But it was useless.
After they cut the feed, Qin Shi Huang directly activated the Space Great Wall, launching ultra-high-definition live streams from every possible angle.
Since you dared to come to China, you won't be leaving.
Humiliated before the entire world!
-[Nameless is not just killing them—he's destroying their pride too. How terrifying!]
-[Damn, they're using the Sun God's corpse as fuel to forge arrows capable of shooting down the sun! Nameless, you're truly ruthless! But I love it!]
-[Hahaha, corpse desecration! Desecrate the Sun God's corpse hard! Best case scenario—these bastards get so furious they self-destruct!]
-[Goddammit, just thinking about how they used to lord over us makes me so mad I want to desecrate their corpses a hundred times over!]
