#461 - Power X2
Zun Zun and Erica sat in a deserted park on a deserted street, gazing at the lifeless scenery.
The Netherworld wasn't the pure white or chaotic void one might imagine; it had its own landscapes and climates, but it utterly lacked the breath of life—like the primordial wilderness before Nuwa created humanity.
If Zun Zun wished, he could take Erica to other places to wander around, such as streets with Italian scenery, or Iceland with its auroras.
But right now, there was no such leisure.
"How are you feeling, Erica?"
"Great."
Lying on Zun Zun's lap, Erica wore a blissful and contented expression, as if she had been thoroughly satisfied.
"The Zun Zun from just now was amazing, so rough and forceful, even ordering me around... that feeling is really fascinating."
"You'll be misunderstood if you say it like that."
"But it's the truth."
The girl emphasized this point.
"By the way, about the blessing I received just now," Erica lovingly stroked her abdomen, "Here, it feels like a very warm and powerful life form is dwelling, just feeling this place makes me feel very happy... it's like our child is in my belly."
"Although it's just a blessing."
"Zun Zun, I was wondering..."
This time, Erica didn't correct him, but she raised her flushed face and said with a pleading look, "Could I ask you for a real baby?"
The boy's blessing could protect those who submitted to him, but due to the nature of a Godslayer, he could only use that method, and the resulting effects turned Erica into this.
The girl boldly and charmingly extended an invitation.
"I refuse."
Although Zun Zun hadn't made any promises with Yuyu and Huihui to give them his first time, Erica was really pushing her luck. If he indulged her, who knew what bold actions she might take one day.
"Seriously, couldn't you let me see more of that manliness from just now?"
Erica began to sulk.
As a result, she presented an unguarded face while on Zun Zun's lap.
It was truly adorable to the point of being unfair.
Zun Zun poked the girl's puffed-up cheeks, letting the air out. "If you take that as manliness, I might end up assaulting more girls, so let's just forget about it."
"Hehe, that's true."
If it were that Kusanagi Godou, who wouldn't dare to resist even if someone forcibly shoved a shrine maiden at him, she would really have a headache.
She couldn't help but rejoice that she had established the strongest bond with Zun Zun at the most opportune moment.
It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
And she had seized it.
"Alright," Zun Zun pushed Erica, who was reluctant to get up, and said, "A blessing is still just a blessing. The power it contains will eventually be exhausted. We should go back."
"What a pity, I thought I could stay a little longer."
"..."
"Zun Zun, at this time you should say: After we go back, I will spend more time with you."
Erica gave the unfeeling boy a resentful look, but only received an even more unfeeling eye roll in return.
You and Cecilia can sit at the same table from now on.
"Speaking of which, Zun Zun, has your authority already reached this level?" Erica straightened her slightly disheveled clothes, and said with slight surprise: "Being able to traverse the Netherworld, other than Lady Aisha and a few others, no one else has been able to do it."
"I guess so."
Probably because of the body of a god, Zun Zun was able to use his authority with ease.
"Also, when I was fighting the Kusanagi Sword just now, I used both the [Phoenix] and the Golden Sword authorities in succession."
"Eh? But I remember that Veleslana's authority could only use one at a time..."
"No, no, Veleslana was injured at that time and hadn't recovered yet, plus the effect of me restraining him, he could actually use multiple authorities."
Because authorities are not used at will, they all have conditions for use.
The [Phoenix] authority can only be used when under high-speed attack, and can be faster than the opponent's speed.
But the burden on the body is very large. During activation, the chest will have severe pain. Depending on the length of use, the heart will be given corresponding intense pain, but Zun Zun has fairy spirits, so he can heal this pain.
And the Golden Sword is actually just a Word of Power. It has very good compatibility with other authorities.
Of course, using a double transformation must also endure a severe headache, and that was also healed by the fairy spirits.
"However, currently I can only use two authorities at the same time. Any more, and my body won't be able to handle it."
"Is that so..."
Erica blinked, as if to say, you can already use such a strong authority, and even multiple authorities, what's not to be satisfied about?
In fact, Zun Zun felt that he would continue to grow in the future.
After all, he has the body of a god, and his growth value soars after being nourished by divine power. Presumably, he will soon enter adulthood and become stronger.
"But Zun Zun, haven't you used the [Wind] authority before?" Erica asked strangely: "I remember that your authority can only be used once a day, right?"
"That's why I was lying here with you."
"But..."
"It's only been half a day?"
Only half a day had passed since he gave Erica the blessing. Logically speaking, the authority should still be in the cooldown period, and Zun Zun shouldn't be able to use the [Wind] authority.
But that was also inaccurate.
The so-called authority will shorten the time with skilled use. Just look at Veleslana, that guy used the same authority several times a day, and even the Golden Sword seemed to be used at will without any cooldown.
"In short, after my unremitting efforts, the cooldown time of the authority has been shortened."
"Unremitting efforts?"
Erica couldn't help but recall that Zun Zun had been squatting in the library for the past half month, searching for information about the Netherworld. It seemed like he hadn't fought with anyone.
Could it be that he was gifted?
"Okay!" Zun Zun put his arm around Erica's waist and said, "Let's go... Not good, I almost forgot."
Again in a dragging manner, he casually grabbed the ankle of the unconscious Kiyuuin Himeko. Probably because she was protected by the Kusanagi Sword, her body didn't show any abnormalities.
Then he took a step forward.
In an instant, the scenery changed.
This was an even more exaggerated ability than the miracle technique of shrinking the ground into inches. In just an instant, Erica returned to the shrine.
"Wah————"
She knelt on the ground and began to vomit, as if she wanted to vomit the life form in her abdomen as well, vomiting heartily.
The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!
"Sorry, sorry."
Zun Zun patted her back while apologizing.
"I'm not used to bringing people yet, Erica, are you okay?"
To move ordinary people at super high speed, you need to consider their fragile bodies and internal organs. Tossing and turning in the tail is already light, otherwise, like the Flash, it might tear the human body apart.
"Zun, Zun Zun?"
"Himeko!"
Kusanagi Godou and Mariya Yuri ran towards the two, both with worried expressions on their faces.
"Are you okay? You suddenly disappeared, and then Yuri said you went to the Netherworld, what happened?"
"A lot of things happened."
While taking care of Erica, he told the others about what happened in the Netherworld.
————
"...That's how it is." Zun Zun pushed Erica, who was clinging to him, and said, "Because this guy fought with Himeko, it caused Himeko's possessed Kusanagi Sword to go out of control, and finally I cut it off."
"Cut off?"
"But don't worry, I didn't usurp that authority. After all, she's helping my god, and this is your territory, Godou. I wouldn't do that kind of NTR thing."
"That way of putting it..."
Kusanagi Godou twitched his lips, but he breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Zun Zun was unharmed.
In fact, he didn't care about Kiyuuin Himeko. To be honest, even as his shrine maiden, she was forcibly inserted, and today was the first day they met, without any emotional foundation.
Compared to Kiyuuin Himeko, Zun Zun, his close friend, was more important.
"Himeko, Himeko!?"
Mariya Yuri called out to Kiyuuin Himeko with a look of anxiety, but she still kept her eyes tightly closed, and even her breathing became extremely weak. She had no choice but to look at Kusanagi Godou with a pleading look.
"This..."
Kusanagi Godou was a little embarrassed. Not to mention that he had just become a Godslayer, none of his authorities could save people.
In the end, Zun Zun healed her with fairy spirits.
Then he made the unwilling Erica apologize to Kiyuuin Himeko. The reason was that Erica's provocation caused the other party to have a desire not to lose, which led to the situation of swords facing each other.
"Speaking of which, Erica, you wouldn't have done it on purpose, would you?"
"What?"
"Deliberately jumping in to put yourself in danger, and then letting me save you, and then confessing your true feelings... I say, Miss Erica, why don't you dare to look at me?"
"Y-You, what are you talking about, I don't understand."
This guy suddenly started using honorifics.
It's becoming more and more obvious that she did it on purpose. No, there shouldn't be anyone who would risk their life to this extent, right?
————
This is the realm of life and death where humans cannot live. The soul is more important than the body.
Here, 4 old people are holding a gathering.
The place where they are is a pavilion built in a beautiful courtyard. There are no servants present, but it is kept very tidy.
"Well, what do you think of this new king?"
The first to speak was Susanoo-no-Mikoto.
"No opinion," replied the black-robed archmage, who was as dry as a mummy, "Even if I think highly of him, I can't keep him if his ambition isn't here."
"He's clearly a good man..."
Speaking was a beautiful princess with glass-colored pupils. She sighed with some regret, as if a good man had slipped through her fingers.
"You..."
"I'm the same," Plutarch said coldly. After all, rather than keeping Zun Zun, he wanted to send him away more.
Fortunately, Zun Zun also thought the same way.
"Is that so, then there's no way... As agreed before, send him away as soon as possible, to prevent the Last King from awakening too early."
Susanoo-no-Mikoto sighed helplessly.
Meeting a peerless seedling but being unable to bet on him, there is no more painful thing in the world than this.
