Chapter 115 - Declaration of War on the Divine Realm, and the Master of Myths

Hearing Azriel's question, the other Flügel stopped their chattering and all looked at Su Mo.

Artosh had told them to follow Su Mo until the day of their fated duel. For the Flügel, this was an unprecedented mission.

Since it was their Master God's command, they had no right to refuse.

Plus, the strength Su Mo had displayed was indeed worthy of a temporary master, and his style of doing things was quite to their liking, so they weren't particularly resistant.

In the previous battle, the entire Flügel legion had gained the achievement of God-Slaying. That alone was enough to make them happy.

But what no one had expected was that what was supposed to be a short business trip had turned into them being abducted by Su Mo to another world.

In this world, they had no way of contacting the War God Artosh. If Su Mo had no intention of dueling him, they might have to be his subordinates for the rest of their lives.

At this point, the Flügel were deeply worr… well, the chattering girls weren't actually that worried. After all, they were long-lived beings, practically immortal in any foreseeable time frame.

Following Su Mo for a few hundred or a few thousand years was not a particularly long time for them.

At least for now, their hearts were filled more with curiosity than worry. What did they need to do in this strange, new world?

"Your task is simple."

Su Mo glanced around. Schwi, at his side, detected his intention and immediately projected the divine realm map that the Ex-machina had just scanned into the air.

The Norse Divine Realm, the Persian Divine Realm, the Celtic Divine Realm…

There were clear boundaries between the various mythologies, but these boundaries were not insurmountable, just rarely crossed.

Looking at the marked divine realms before him, Su Mo glanced at the Flügel girls.

"This is the Divine Realm. Each block is inhabited by an entire pantheon, including over a hundred gods and an army of at least ten thousand divine beasts, Phantasma, and Vassal Gods."

"Your task is to start from here and defeat every Old Deus along the way!" After circling the entire Divine Realm, Su Mo encompassed it all.

Hearing this, all the Flügel except for the informed Jibril wore expressions of disbelief. Azriel was so stunned that it took her dozens of seconds before she dared to shakily point at herself.

"Us? A pantheon?"

She now felt the same sense of absurdity as a carp demon being assigned to kill the Tang Monk and his disciples.

"Yes." Su Mo's attitude dashed any hopes she might have had. But she still refused to accept reality.

"Lord Su Mo… have you made some kind of mistake? We had to rely on Jii-chan to defeat the Old Deus Ocain before. Now you're asking us to take on a whole pantheon. Isn't that a bit too much?"

If she didn't know Su Mo to some extent, she would have suspected he was trying to take this opportunity to wipe out the entire Flügel race. Otherwise, how could he say such nonsense?

Judging by the strength of the silver-haired goddess Athena she had seen earlier, the Old Deus of this world were still the undisputed masters.

With their current lineup, without Jibril's God's Strike, even taking on a single Old Deus was a bit of a stretch. How could they possibly take on an entire pantheon?

Not to mention, according to Su Mo's information, there were also armies of Phantasma and divine beasts.

In Azriel's understanding, the strength of a Phantasma was only slightly weaker than an Old Deus, much stronger than a normal Gigant.

Some of the stronger ones were even on par with an Old Deus.

How could a mere thousand Flügel possibly deal with an army of at least ten thousand such beings?

The Flügel did not fear battle, nor did they fear death. But faced with a mission that was clearly a suicide run, it was hard for them to accept it willingly.

Hearing this, Su Mo immediately understood the misunderstanding. These Flügel had mistaken Athena as the average level for an Old Deus in this world.

Without needing to explain, he just glanced at Jibril. The loli Flügel, who had been secretly holding back her laughter, immediately understood and let out a "pfft."

"Hahahaha, don't you worry! When has Master ever given an impossible mission?"

Seeing Jibril's relaxed posture, Azriel asked in confusion, "Why do you say that, meow? Don't tell me Lord Su Mo gave you more than just that power? Do you have some hidden ultimate move you haven't shown, Jii-chan?"

If not, where did Jibril get the confidence to fight an entire pantheon?

"Of course not!" Jibril shook her head, amused by Azriel's ridiculous guess. "You'll know when you go on a mission with me later. Although the Old Deus of this world have similar Authorities and are quite dangerous, they are different from the Old Deus of our world."

"With our current strength, sweeping through a pantheon is an easy task!"

"Really, meow?" Azriel was still skeptical.

For someone who had lived her whole life in the world of No Game No Life, the power of a god was unquestionable. She could never imagine that an Old Deus could be swept away like weeds.

"Of course it's true." Jibril nodded confidently. Having suffered a loss before, she understood the power of the gods in the Campione! world best. Although their divine power was less, if used properly, they could still pose a threat to a Flügel.

However, that was only the worst-case scenario in a one-on-one fight. If they advanced as a legion, the Flügel were invincible.

"Not to mention, we also have these iron lumps!" Jibril looked at the more than ten thousand Ex-machina around them.

The upgraded Ex-machina had become much stronger.

Although they couldn't compare to her, they now had the strength to rival an ordinary Flügel. In terms of teamwork, the Ex-machina were even superior to the Flügel.

With them, even sweeping through the entire Divine Realm would not be difficult.

"Oh, right!" Azriel finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, Su Mo spoke.

"The Ex-machina can assist you in sealing and defeating the pantheons in the early stages, but their main task is to analyze the Primordial Divinities. So, after defeating each divine realm, a squad must be left behind to record and transcode the information."

He had not forgotten his purpose. Defeating the divine realms was just the means; obtaining the Primordial Divinities and myths of all the pantheons was the goal.

"No problem! I guarantee the mission will be completed!" Jibril nodded. She had full confidence in the strength of the Flügel legion. If the Ex-machina could keep an eye on the pantheons and prevent them from escaping, then Su Mo's mission would not be difficult.

"Good. Then let's move now. Holou and Athena, you two assist on the side." Su Mo immediately gave the order, rescuing Athena, who was being tormented by Holou.

Athena immediately gave Su Mo a grateful look, and before Holou could react, she ran to Jibril's side, providing support while also guiding them.

The Divine Realm was so large; without her as a guide, there were many secrets Jibril might not have discovered.

With the current lineup being sufficient, Su Mo didn't summon Artoria and Lancelot. This kind of domineering and plundering behavior probably didn't align with their code of chivalry.

Besides, among the targets Su Mo intended to clear out was their own Celtic pantheon. Although they wouldn't hesitate if he asked, for this kind of thing, it was more convenient to use people from another world.

"Move out! For Master! First target, the Norse Divine Realm!"

Under Jibril's leadership, the entire Flügel legion, along with half of the Ex-machina legion, all rushed to the new battlefield.

The Ex-machina were responsible for sealing the divine realm, Athena was responsible for guiding them, and the Flügel were responsible for hunting and attacking.

A few minutes later, crimson flames ignited on the World Tree. Ragnarok had begun ahead of schedule, but what would lead to the destruction of the divine realm was not the demon wolf Fenrir, but the Flügel and Ex-machina legions from another world.

After taking action herself, the all-out Azriel had originally intended to just test the waters, but she never expected to kill the god Loki, who had been trying to sneak attack her, with a single blow.

"Could it be? I'm actually super strong, meow?"

Having slain a god for the third time, and for the first time achieving an independent God-Slaying, she was in a daze for a moment.

It was only after seeing Jibril mowing through enemies like grass that she realized what her words had meant.

"The Old Deus of this world… they don't seem to be that strong, meow!"

Realizing this, the Flügel went crazy, immediately rushing forward to rack up their battle records. After all, even if they used Heaven's Strike, Lord Su Mo would use the temporary contract to restore their strength. What was there to be concerned about?

And so, in less than half an hour, the Norse Divine Realm was completely reduced to ashes.

Jibril raised the world-ending demon sword, Laevateinn, like a world-destroying demon king, leading the Flügel legion in their next charge.

"Next target, the Roman Divine Realm!"

"Ooooh!" The flames of war instantly ignited another divine realm.

And in the already destroyed Norse Divine Realm, a thousand Ex-machina who had voluntarily stayed behind began to preserve and transcode the Stardust Particle information from the remains of these gods, according to the technique Su Mo had given them.

At this time, Su Mo, with the help of the remaining six thousand-plus Ex-machina, had already grasped and recorded all the Primordial Divinities of the Greek Divine Realm into his own Stardust Body.

"As expected… the essence of a Primordial Divinity is a sealed fragment of a myth."

Feeling the power flowing within him, Su Mo slightly extended his hand. A golden river appeared from his palm, with numerous phantoms of polyhedrons flowing on it—the information of the Primordial Divinities.

After successfully obtaining all the Primordial Divinities of the Greek pantheon, the mythical information within them spontaneously arranged themselves, condensing into a myth in Su Mo's palm.

The river of myth in his hand gradually condensed, finally forming the phantom of a book.

The title page of this golden book read "Greece," and its thick pages were divided into several chapters: Theogony, The Iliad, The Odyssey…

Just as Su Mo had predicted, he was no longer the master of the Greek gods, but the Master of Greek Mythology. He alone could now represent the entire Greek pantheon.

After successfully analyzing the mythology of the Greek Divine Realm, Su Mo did not look at the Norse mythology, which the Ex-machina were already handling, but turned his gaze toward the distant Biblical Divine Realm.

He still remembered that there were many Primordial Divinities left there that he had not yet absorbed.

And so…

"Schwi, synchronize your coordinates with mine. Lead all the Ex-machina to transfer together."

After giving the order, Su Mo brought the Ex-machina legion to Eden. Before they could even land, countless angels flocked to them.

"Holy! Holy! Holy! Lord!, you have finally descended upon this place!"

Looking down, Michael was already leading all the angels to welcome Su Mo, celebrating the return of their Lord.

Faced with this situation, the experienced Su Mo directly took all the angels under his command and, with the six thousand-plus Ex-machina, immediately began the next round of Primordial Divinity absorption.

Whether they submitted or resisted, as long as they possessed a Primordial Divinity and were part of a myth, they could not hide from Su Mo's sweep.

The raging flames of war soon ignited the entire Divine Realm, and the number of Primordial Divinities mastered by Su Mo swelled again and again.
