Chapter 858: Instant Kill of the Fake Great Sage Equal to Heaven! Tsunami Submerges Cherry Blossom Island
Ren: "Luo Hao, I strongly support you in getting rid of this disgraceful thing."
Luo Hao: "It seems you also know who he is. My purpose in coming here is to kill him."
Kiana: "Who is this 'he' you're talking about? What is that giant ape? Why have you suddenly become riddle-tellers?"
Exusiai: "Riddle-tellers, get out! Hehe, just kidding~"
Durandal: "If I'm not mistaken, that ape is the Heretic God Luo Hao mentioned earlier."
Luo Hao: "That's right, he is a Heretic God, the Monkey God Lord."
She preferred to call him the Monkey God Lord rather than the Great Sage Equal to Heaven. If anyone asked why, the answer was simple: he was completely unworthy of the title.
Tushan Honghong: "Wait, if I remember correctly, in Luo Hao's world, killing a Heretic God allows a mortal to become a powerful Godslayer."
Sylvia: "But Luo Hao is already a Godslayer, isn't she?"
Ren: "A Godslayer can continue to obtain the authorities of Heretic Gods by killing more of them. The powers stack."
Silver Wolf: "Simply put, it's like defeating a boss to loot the boss's exclusive skills."
Tingyun: "Gods... hearing that word makes this little girl think of Aeons."
March 7th: "Eh? Tingyun, you're not planning to try and kill an Aeon, are you?"
Tingyun: "Even if I possessed such power, this little girl wouldn't act so recklessly."
March 7th: "Somehow... I feel like you actually entertain that idea."
Vivi: "As for gods, we have them right here in our group: Aqua and Furina."
Aqua: "???"
Furina: "Wah ah ah ah, I... I'm not the Hydro Archon!"
Mikasa: "Don't worry, they shouldn't harm you."
Nami: "Of course not."
Ais: "Godslaying... getting stronger..."
Back in the sprawling estate of the Loki Familia, the afternoon breeze rustled the leaves in the courtyard. Ais Wallenstein stood perfectly still, her golden eyes slowly shifting to lock onto the red-haired, squinting woman lounging on a nearby bench.
It was Loki. The patron deity of their Familia.
Feeling the sudden, intense weight of that gaze, Loki paused mid-stretch and turned her head, meeting Ais's blank, unreadable eyes.
Loki, who had originally intended to leap over and tease her favorite sword princess, suddenly froze. The air around her seemed to drop by several degrees. An ominous chill crept up her spine, raising the hairs on the back of her neck. She shivered, wrapping her arms around her slender shoulders.
When she blinked and looked again, Ais had already turned her head away, her attention seemingly fixed on the distant clouds.
Loki let out a breath she didn't realize she was holding. A bizarre sense of déjà vu washed over her, leaving her with the distinct impression that she had just narrowly escaped a gruesome fate.
How could that be? My Ais wouldn't hurt me, Loki thought, shaking her head and forcing a nervous chuckle at her own ridiculous imagination.
Little did the goddess know, she had indeed just dodged a lethal bullet.
The crisis was averted solely thanks to Ren, who had instantly seen through Ais's dangerous train of thought in the chat.
Ren: "Ais, stop thinking about it. The gods in your world don't have that effect."
The reason the Godslayer's world operated on such extreme rules was largely due to a singular entity: Pandora. She was the one responsible for managing the dark reincarnation ritual. Every mortal who ever fought and defeated a Heretic God was, without exception, standing on the absolute brink of death. It was a causal operation of that world's fundamental laws.
At that exact moment of mortal peril and impossible victory, Pandora would initiate the ritual. Through this dark baptism, she transferred the usurped authority of the fallen god into the victor, reconstructing their frail mortal vessel into a body capable of contending with the divine as a reward.
I will turn him into a Demon King—a Campione.
Therefore, Pandora acted as a nurturing parent to these absolute anomalies. She even encouraged the Godslayers to call her Mother. At the same time, Pandora was the Godslayers' sole supporter and backer from the divine camp, frequently bending the rules to help her children.
It was precisely the existence of this reincarnation ritual and Pandora herself that allowed mortals to gain power by slaying a Heretic God in that specific universe.
Ais: "En, I know."
She accepted the explanation, realizing that drawing her sword against the gods who had descended upon Orario would be a meaningless endeavor.
While the group continued their lively discussion, Luo Hao had already engaged the Monkey God Lord in brutal combat.
The sheer kinetic force of a clash between a Campione and a Heretic God was a natural disaster in the making. The shockwaves alone possessed enough destructive yield to level modern cities. The small cherry blossom island nation, surrounded by churning waters, stood on the precipice of total annihilation if caught in the crossfire. Naturally, the moment the battle commenced, it commanded the absolute attention of everyone watching the broadcast.
"You can die now."
Luo Hao looked down coldly at the irrational, monstrous ape thrashing before her. The burning desire to test her martial arts against a worthy opponent had completely vanished. She only wanted to quickly erase this beast that dared to insult the legendary name of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.
Arhat Manifestation.
She stepped forward, the air around her warping from the sheer density of her magical energy. Both of her delicate fists struck out simultaneously.
Heaven and earth violently changed color. The sky darkened as a tyrannical force tore through the very fabric of space. A torrential wave of pure, unadulterated power erupted from her knuckles, instantly engulfing the Monkey God Lord in an attack capable of causing the sky to collapse and the earth to crack.
The catastrophic aftershocks of those two strikes slammed into the ocean. The water displaced with a deafening roar, churning into a colossal tsunami that blotted out the horizon. Millions of tons of seawater surged forward, sweeping directly toward the cherry blossom island nation.
Hovering in the sky, Luo Hao didn't even bother to spare the doomed landmass a single glance. She harbored a deep-seated disdain for the cherry blossom island nation; if it sank to the bottom of the sea, so be it.
But a sudden request shifted her priorities.
Ren: "Luo Hao, let this island sink, but bring me a few people: Katsuki Sakura, Mariya Hikari, Mariya Yuri, Seishuuin Ena, Mononobe Yukino, and Toba Riona."
Luo Hao's delicate brows rose slightly.
Luo Hao: "Women?"
Ren: "Exactly."
Luo Hao: "Good."
She agreed without a second thought, closing her eyes to cast her divine senses across the crumbling landmass to locate his targets.
Right at that moment, a familiar, ethereal pull tugged at her consciousness. It was the summons of Pandora. The Heretic God, the Monkey God Lord, had already been reduced to absolute ashes by her overwhelming power, triggering the automatic ritual.
However, Luo Hao had errands to run for Ren now. She had no desire to waste time chatting in the space between worlds.
With a single, dismissive thought, she violently severed the divine connection.
Meanwhile, in a serene, sunlit dimension completely isolated from the mortal realm, a woman stood in a field of blooming flowers, her head tilted in deep confusion.
This was Pandora.
To describe her merely as beautiful would be a disservice to her unique existence. She possessed a perfectly cute, youthful face, framed by long, vibrant purple hair that parted elegantly on both sides. Clad in a simple, thin white dress that fluttered in the nonexistent breeze, her petite stature gave the immediate impression of an innocent child. She had a delicate, doll-like figure that naturally drew out a protective instinct from anyone who saw her.
Yet, paradoxically, she exuded an intensely alluring aura that screamed woman louder than any mortal could comprehend. The true meaning of the name Pandora was the woman who gives all. Long before the Olympian gods established their absolute dominance over Greece, she was a Great Mother Goddess, wielding unimaginable authority and deep wisdom. She was the divine mother who bestowed countless blessings upon both gods and humanity alike.
"What is going on?" she murmured, her voice like chiming bells.
Just moments ago, she had distinctly felt the unmistakable surge of authority. One of her beloved children had successfully slain a god. But when she reached out to pull the victor into her realm for the customary ritual and praise, the connection was brutally and forcibly severed from the other side.
Setting aside the heartbreaking question of why her child would actively ignore her loving summons... how was it even possible to cut off a direct link to the astral boundary?
"Does my child truly possess such terrifying, rule-breaking strength?"
The anomaly was simply too bizarre. Standing alone in her serene world, the Great Mother Goddess fell into deep, silent contemplation.
