“It’s still early, there’s no rush to send you back to Mythology. Why don’t we sit down and have a couple of drinks first?” Bai Ye suggested, glancing up at the sun on the horizon.

"Although drinking in front of the station is not the behavior of a rational soldier, since you have extended an invitation, I have no reason to refuse."

"Then sit down." Pointing to the empty seat next to him, Bai Ye waved his hand and released a large table of food, then placed a large jar of wine in front of Vereslana and in front of himself.

Erica, who was watching from the sidelines, only felt a sharp pain in her breasts...

Godslayer and God of Disobedience are sitting together drinking happily, and they've even agreed to fight to the death in a little while. Does the peculiarity of one's thought process really determine whether a person's upper limit is a great knight or a supreme demon king?

……

Full of wine and food.

To the gods, breaking free from mythology and descending as non-believers is like a mischievous child skipping school to play Minesweeper or Spider Solitaire at an internet cafe. No non-believers care about the insignificant life and death of mortals; in fact, dying under the power of a god is considered an honor for those mortals. Therefore, after finishing his meal, Vereslana naturally wanted to start a fight with Bai Ye on the spot—

In the end, Bai Ye considered that he might come back to this world in the future, and it would be good to have a place to stay on Sardinia for vacations, which saved the villa from being destroyed.

As a god who is the embodiment of wind, Vereslana said that levitation is practically a basic skill. Similarly, as the sun god, Baiye can fly without riding a sun chariot, although it might be a little slower. So the two stopped after arriving at a sufficiently wide sea area.

The pre-battle verbal sparring had already been completed while they were drinking and eating meat. Therefore, when Vereslana saw a blood-red spear in Bai Ye's hand that looked extraordinary, he crossed his arms, gestured towards Bai Ye, and then, as the wind and clouds gathered in the sky, several bolts of lightning struck Bai Ye one after another.

Erica, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

"Lightning...a goat?"

During the days they waited for Veleslana to come to their door, Bai Ye did more than just sit idly by. At least after combining the images of the divine beasts that had recently appeared near Sardinia, Erica and Zola had made pretty much a guess at all ten possible incarnations of Veleslana. They even speculated on the abilities of the incarnations based on the legends in mythology.

Golden blood flowed gently within him. Although the true nature of this golden bloodline, which originated from the body of a Titan, remained unknown, one thing was beyond doubt—

After activating his bloodline power, Bai Ye will receive a comprehensive boost, including strength, speed, and defense.

To Vereslana's astonishment, Baiye, whose skin had turned a faint golden hue, did not dodge the divine lightning he released as he had expected, but instead took the initiative to meet it head-on.

Nourishes—

The lightning brought by the goat's incarnation collided with Gungnir, the Norse god-king. The result was that the divine spear was unresponsive, the person wielding it was unharmed, and the divine lightning had long since vanished.

"Interesting, very interesting. It seems you really might be able to give me a chance to fail!"

Laughing heartily, Vereslana uttered the divine words: "For victory, come quickly before me! Immortal sun, grant me a radiant steed. Spiritual steed with swift hooves, bring forth the halo symbolizing your lord!"

A pure white horse without a single blemish appeared on the horizon—no, to be precise, it should be called a sun!

Under Bai Ye's intrigued gaze, the sun, carrying a power that seemed to burn away all evil before it, crashed into him.

Why aren't you dodging?

Just as Vereslana was wondering if Bai Ye had underestimated his opponent, Bai Ye's leisurely words echoed from within the sea of ​​fire.

“Oh, God of War of the East, do you know that the first god I killed was Helios? Do you know what power I usurped from him?” The sea of ​​fire dissipated, revealing the unscathed White Night: “Using the white horse that carries the sun to attack the sun itself, I can only say one thing to you… a good idea.”

Chapter 154 The hand holding the sausage trembled slightly

Sensing the sun god power emanating from Bai Ye, which was even stronger than that of the white horse, Vereslana's face darkened...

Does Helios have to be so blunt?

You are indeed the sun god, but that doesn't mean that mortals who kill you must relinquish the authority of the sun god. Would it kill them to just give you some other thing to appease them?

Vereslana, unaware of what Helios had gone through, couldn't help but mutter a complaint in his heart... but that was all.

Before, when I didn't know the details, I might have needed to do some research first, but now that I know your authority comes from the sun of Helios, isn't it a sure thing to seal your power with the incarnation of a "warrior"?

Thinking this, Veleslana looked at Bai Ye with a wicked smile, and with a tremor of his arm, the power of "Warrior" was activated, and a golden sword capable of cleaving gods appeared in his hand.

"You foolish son, come and try my strike, which has never failed—"

"With the power of my words, let justice be revealed in the world! These incantations are powerful and eloquent, the sword of wisdom that beckons victory!"

Golden light erupted from Vereslana's hand, and sword beams rained down on the white night not far away. Wherever the golden light passed, the sea was cleaved open and the air was torn apart. Even from a distance, Erica could feel the danger hidden within those lights.

"According to Mekal, the Golden Sword in your current state seems capable of tearing apart a god?" Bai Ye held Gungnir in one hand and swung it in front of him, sweeping away the light emanating from the Golden Sword. He looked at Veleslana with curiosity. "But are you so sure you can seal my powers as well?"

"Whether it's possible or not, we'll find out by trying."

The boy's face revealed a wild smile that didn't match his age at all. He gripped the golden sword with both hands and charged towards Bai Ye, pulling him diagonally upwards just before he was about to hit him.

brush--

The physical golden sword was blocked by Gungnir, but the invisible strike ignored Gungnir and landed on Bai Ye.

Feeling a part of his body being shackled, Bai Ye's lips twitched slightly, while Vereslana opposite him burst into laughter: "That's it, your solar power obtained from Helios has been sealed by me, hasn't it? According to the information I've gathered, next up is the monkey in the Western Journey group in the East and the bull on Crete... and Mekal a few days ago."

As they were talking, Bai Ye's power "Eternal Labyrinth," which he had obtained from the Minotaur, was also bound by a chain. However, when he tried to seal the indestructible body, the smile on Vereslana's face froze.

"The seal failed? That's impossible!"

"What's impossible?" Bai Ye grinned.

The indestructible body that was usurped from the disobedient Sun Wukong has been integrated into Bai Ye's body along with the golden bloodline and the later twelve trials.

Although in terms of rank it is still within the realm of power that only gods can wield, its true core has long since become Bai Ye's current body. Whether it is indestructible, golden bloodline, or the final twelve trials, they are all just characteristics of his current immortal body.

In his boredom these past few days, Bai Ye even wondered if, if some incredibly powerful or lucky individual were to kill him, he might also gain power from him. After all, as an immortal, he might be more like a god than a human.

"As a warrior, the golden sword in your hand has now lost its greatest effectiveness. I wonder if you, who are known as the God of War, are truly qualified to bear the weight of this title?"

Before Vereslana could even reply, Bai Ye swung Gungnir and slammed it down on him.

"Give up the fight just because one avatar is ineffective? Are you kidding me?" Although the function of sealing powers was temporarily unusable, Veleslana did not retract the golden sword. Instead, he held the sword with one hand and opened the other hand towards Bai Ye: "My raging divine beast, crush the enemy before you!"

"Ho~~~"

A wild boar hundreds of meters tall appeared at Vereslana's feet. The moment he flipped over and stepped on the boar's neck, the wheel that had been inside him spun three times, and the power of the three incarnations of "Phoenix," "Bull," and "Camel" was simultaneously added to Vereslana's body.

A few days ago, with all three incarnations activated, Veleslana fought to a draw with the god-king Mekal, whose number of vests was as exaggerated as his muscles.

Now, the power of the three avatars, driven by Vereslana's warrior instincts, maintains a delicate balance among themselves, and under Vereslana's will, they blast towards the White Night...

"That's it!"

Surprisingly, Bai Ye found himself feeling a bit of pressure from Vereslana's slash. He also put away his playful attitude and began to take the battle seriously.

……

While Bai Ye and Vereslana were having a fierce battle, on the other side of Sardinia's coast, a blond youth walked out of the sea onto the beach.

This is Salvatore Tony, the sixth of the seven current Godslayers, the "Sword King" who rules the magic society in Southern Europe.

"Why does it feel slower than before?" Andrei, who had been waiting there, hurried over and handed over a dry towel. "According to the information I have, the two statues you agreed to use for the competition with White Night King refused to comply, and one of them was killed by White Night King a few days ago."

"Oh, so fast?" Tony paused for a moment, then quickly laughed with relief. "That makes sense. Knowing his personality, once he finds out someone doesn't comply, he'll definitely deal with them as quickly as possible. If I weren't starving, I'd really like to find another one who doesn't comply and have a good fight with him. My friend, do you know which restaurant around here makes the most authentic Italian pasta?"

Andrei's expression showed a hint of conflict.

"Andrei?"

"Tony, although I can tell you that the first house you see after turning left at two intersections will meet your requirements, there's something else I need to tell you first..."

"Let's eat first, then we'll talk about it." Dragging Andre's hand, Tony dragged them to a restaurant and ordered ample portions for both of them. Then, while popping a slice of sausage into his mouth, he asked, "What were you trying to say just now?"

Andrei glanced at the clock on the wall: "About forty-seven minutes ago, I received a joint message from the witch of Sardinia and the branch of the Copper Black Cross on Sardinia. The White Night King is currently fighting a rebellious being in the southern seas..."

“Then let him keep playing. Why are you telling me this?” Tony shook his head, then suddenly froze…

"Didn't they say he had already dealt with a rebellious leader a few days ago?"

Andre nodded.

"..."

Then Andrei noticed that Tony's hand holding the sausage was trembling slightly.

Chapter 155 The Ten Incarnations: A Useless Evaluation

Even with his eyes open, spinning and leaping across the rooftop, Tony arrived too late. Bai Ye had just managed to kill Vereslana with a single shot...

I feel like it would be better to listen to Andrei and just feed myself at the restaurant first before coming over!

Tony said he was both hungry and angry.

"Tony, you're here." After putting away Gungnir, Bai Ye flew over to greet Tony, who was looking at him with puffed-out cheeks on the shore.

“My dear friend, we agreed that if we met on Sardinia, we’d each get one. If you had taken care of your share before I arrived, I wouldn’t have said anything. But why is even this one…” Tony looked at Bai Ye with a pained expression: “Where is the most basic trust between friends?”

Upon hearing this, Bai Ye's face darkened.

"I was just wondering what happened to you. We agreed to meet in Sardinia, but I've been here for fourteen days and you're only arriving today!"

“Uh…” Tony laughed awkwardly: “I just had a little mishap in the middle. According to my plan, I should have been able to get there in three days at most to meet you and then find those two who refused to cooperate and fight them.”

"Hehe." Bai Ye replied with a forced smile.

"Okay, I admit it was my fault. I shouldn't have been so late for so many days because I was playing around..." Tony bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

white night:"……"

"That's not right. What does my being late have to do with you taking what should have been mine? My dear friend, you're just twisting the facts. Even Andrei could see through such a low-level trick."

"Wake up! No matter how much you belittle Andrei's intelligence, and even if he doesn't refute you, it doesn't change the fact that you're still an idiot!"

Could you please explain what "idiot" means?

Distracted like this, Tony's initial enthusiasm to settle scores with Bai Ye had diminished considerably, and he awkwardly followed Bai Ye to a more distant place where Erica was "secretly observing".

The place where Tony is now originally belonged to Erica, but the battle between Bai Ye and Veleslana was far more intense than she had imagined... It's just fortunate that the battlefield between this human and the god was on the sea, otherwise, if they had chosen Sardinia, the silence of that island might have been a good ending.

No wonder many books say that you should not try to challenge the authority of the Demon King, otherwise the King’s wrath will burn everything you cherish to ashes. Does this mean that a god-slayer can destroy a country with a single super-large map attack if he is unhappy?

Seeing Bai Ye and Tony joking around, Erica secretly breathed a sigh of relief...

She's worried that something might happen between Bai Ye and Tony again. Looking back, it's really lucky that their battle only destroyed a few streets. No wonder her uncle looked so relieved afterward.

“Your Majesty, the Grand Knight Erica Brantelli of the Copper Black Cross pays her respects.”

Although Erica had expressed to Bai Ye several times over the past ten days that the Copper Black Cross wanted to join his ranks, Bai Ye had not agreed. So, at least nominally, Erica was still Tony's knight.

When Tony came up to her, she quickly gave him a knightly salute.

"Let's go, let's go eat first. I'm starving after not eating for over ten days." Tony glanced at Erica, then pushed Bai Ye towards the city center without saying anything.

……

After a hearty meal, Bai Ye finally had time to examine the powers he had gained from killing Vereslana.

He closed his eyes and entered a state of introspection, discovering a roulette wheel within his body. Examining the ten corners of the wheel closely, he saw wind, a boy, a white horse, a phoenix…

Thinking about it carefully, aren't these the ten incarnations of Vereslana from the information I collected some time ago?

"The powers are quite comprehensive, but what's with all these messy restrictions?" After sensing the specific content of the powers, Bai Ye's lips twitched.

Of the several powers he had previously acquired, only "All-Seeing Above the Sky," which would cause blindness if overused, was practically useless. The other secondary powers, including "Twelve Trials" from Mekal, were essentially worthless. This led Bai Ye to believe that all powers were like this, until this time...

坑!

So don't let Veleslana's small size fool you, he's got quite a mind of his own. Putting aside the prerequisites for activation, what's with the fact that it can only be used once a day? When fighting him, Bai Ye didn't notice that his power had so many restrictions.

"System, can the side effects of this power be eliminated?"

"Each time you eliminate the side effects of an avatar, it will cost 2000 million Origin Coins. Please select the avatar whose side effects you wish to eliminate."

"..."

So if he really had those two hundred million, he would have upgraded his existing powers long ago. Both the authority of the Sun God and that labyrinth, once strengthened, would provide Bai Ye with considerable assistance. In comparison, the ten avatars he usurped from Veleslana, even after using two hundred million Origin Coins to eliminate the side effects, still required him to spend additional Origin Coins to upgrade their levels...

Paying three times the price for one unit of happiness, Vereslana, you little rascal, you're really something else!

"My dear friend, what are you thinking about?" Tony, who was slumped in his chair eating dessert, saw Bai Ye suddenly close his eyes and stop moving, so he gently nudged him.

"Hmm... I'm thinking about how to specifically define Vereslana's powers. Although the little brat didn't hold back his praise for me throughout the battle, he was surprisingly stingy when it came to giving me powers."

"Vereslana... is that the one you sent back to Mythology just as I arrived?"

"Mm." Bai Ye nodded.

Tony clicked his tongue... Logically speaking, that should be his spoils of war. Isn't this just being hypocritical after getting a good deal?

Wait, what did you just say?

"Does the power one ultimately gains depend on not following one's own will?"

“Isn’t that obvious?” Bai Ye rolled his eyes. “Although it’s the same as sending mythical creatures back to their homeland, if you do it in a way that satisfies them, they will naturally give you better gifts in return.”

Tony: “…”
