"You should have said so earlier! If I had known you were after this, I wouldn't have needed to get off the chariot the last two times. I thought you were after my authority as the sun god." Helios waved his hand, dispersing the sun god's chariot, and then sat down on the island fragments without any regard for appearances.

"When I was first summoned down not long ago, what you said still holds true, doesn't it?"

"What?"

"Plenty of alcohol!"

"Of course!"

……

Chapter 078 Marquis Voban, who got a free ride

In just a few hours, a message spread like wildfire through the hidden world, inaccessible to ordinary people—

The disobedient god Helios descended upon the Greek island of Rhodes and was successfully killed by the White Night King from the East!

The news originated from a local Greek magical society. A few hours later, the Five Hells Holy Cult, affiliated with the martial arts king of the East, also released the same message, confirming the authenticity of the rumor.

Throughout history, countless warriors have harbored the idea of ​​slaying gods. Most of them failed, dying because they did not understand the gap between themselves and the gods. A few who succeeded, through various coincidences, rose from mortals to become supreme kings.

What is a godkiller?

The god-slayer (campione) is the king.

Therefore, they were able to slaughter the gods in the heavens and seize and use supreme power!

The campione is the overlord.

Therefore, they are able to seize and exercise God's power to dominate anyone on earth!

The Campione is a demon king.

Because none of the people living on earth have the power to resist him!

For those who have come into contact with or live in the mystical realm, the Godslayer is the supreme ruler in the ancient feudal system, and unlike those rulers, the Godslayer establishes his authority in a very simple and brutal way—

I can beat all of you combined, so you have to listen to me!

In an instant, magical societies from all over the world turned their attention to Rhodes Island, the birthplace of the seventh king, hoping to gain some benefits for themselves by taking advantage of the new king's appearance.

As the Seventh King, who was at the forefront of the storm, Bai Ye was standing on the surface of the Pacific Ocean with a bewildered expression.

So I'm... lost?

……

A few hours earlier, because Helios was stabbed by White Night with Gungnir, he gave up on continuing his escape and chose to have a drink with White Night before returning to mythology.

Bai Ye, who already felt guilty for repeatedly pulling him away from the mythology, naturally agreed.

As for the wine, it was a divine wine that the First Emperor brought back from some unfortunate divine realm, whose origins are unknown.

Previously, when Bai Ye was still an ordinary person in the store, he needed to use Origin Coins to clear away the side effects of drunkenness just by touching his lips to the alcohol. However, after becoming a Godslayer, Bai Ye's physical strength has greatly improved.

At least for now, he can drink a bowl of divine wine without changing his expression and without showing any signs of drunkenness.

Realizing this, Baiye's confidence soared, and she and Helios drank bowl after bowl, soon finishing ten whole barrels of divine wine. Then, the drunken Helios had the equally drunk Baiye send him back to mythology.

This time, when Bai Ye went to the boundary between life and death to receive the gift from Helios, his consciousness was in a daze the whole time.

When he woke up again, the twinkling stars in the sky had dimmed, and the first rays of the rising sun appeared on the horizon.

Knowing that he was likely to be late again, Bai Ye hurriedly went back to the Dimensional Shop and told Black Jeanne about his situation before returning to the world of Godslayer.

Then he realized that his weak sense of direction was not enough to help him find the right way on the sea.

Activating the power "All-Seeing Above the Sky" and looking around, Bai Ye suddenly noticed a small dot slowly moving in his eyes.

Perhaps because the distance between them was quite far, the smaller dot's speed seemed excessively slow to him...

Is this the type of person who can catch up if they put their mind to it?

"Hey hey hey, is the owner of that boat up ahead there? I'd like a ride~" Bai Ye summoned the Sun Chariot, flicked the reins, and soon caught up with the slowly sailing yacht. "Or you could point me in the right direction to China."

At the bow of the ship, an elegantly dressed, silver-haired old man turned around and stared at the four magnificent fire horses beneath Bai Ye and the obviously extraordinary golden carriage, remaining silent for a long time.

"The White Night King?"

"what?"

Bai Ye's words should be referring to himself, but what does "Bai Ye Wang" mean?

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that Lu Yinghua called me that before... Could it be that this kid was making up stories about me in front of outsiders when I wasn't around?

"Alright, you can come down first. I also need to go to the East to take care of some personal matters. If you're like this, my ship can't sail." The old man shook his head and glanced at the crew members who were struggling to breathe under the pressure of the Sun God Chariot's imposing presence.

Indeed, it was a mistake to try to save trouble by randomly hiring a few ordinary people.

……

Once aboard the yacht, after being explained to him by the kind old man, Bai Ye learned what had happened after he drove after Helios away from Rhodes Island, and nodded in understanding.

"So whether I like it or not, the title of the Seventh King has already been placed on my head?"

"It's just an insignificant title." The silver-haired old man shook his head. "Mortals worship you as king only out of reverence for the power that originally belonged to the gods."

"But it seems a bit strange that it suddenly became something like this, Mr. Wang, right?" Bai Ye scratched his head. "But speaking of which, why do you know so much about these things, Grandpa?"

"Didn't I introduce myself?"

"No." Bai Ye shook his head.

"Then let's make up for it now." The old man straightened his clothes. "My real name is Sasha Dejansdar Voban, one of the oldest living Godslayers. Any other questions, you junior who hasn't even adjusted to the most basic mindset?"

"Hmm...would it count as wanting to beat up some old-fashioned guy?"

Chapter 079 Grandpa, you're so handsome (serious face)!

“Young man, as one of only seven kings in the world, you do have the right to look down on ordinary people, but that is not a reason for you to be arrogant and unrestrained in front of me.” Marquis Voban narrowed his eyes. “You still have to show basic respect to your seniors.”

"Don't you always call me a young man? As a young man, while the blood in my veins hasn't cooled down yet, it doesn't seem wrong to have more of a daring and reckless spirit, does it?"

"Heh~"

"Hehe~"

"..." x2

Seeing the two men laughing strangely at each other, the captain, whose fat face had been temporarily "requisitioned" by Voban, twitched.

He had seen Voban turn a sailor who made a mistake into a grain of salt with just a glance because of the slightest noise, and he had also seen Bai Ye descend from the sky in a carriage drawn by four fiery horses, the mere aura emanating from him making it hard for him to breathe.

In his view, these two were both powerful figures who were absolutely untouchable and should only exist in legends.

Judging from the current situation, it's unlikely that either of them would get upset and sink all of them, including the ship, into the ocean.

……

Fortunately, Bai Ye and Voban only had some verbal disagreements and did not actually have a conflict.

To Marquis Voban, Bai Ye was merely a junior who had just killed a god a few days ago. Although he had the ability to stand on the same stage as him, he was still somewhat immature and might not even have fully mastered the power he had usurped.

For Bai Ye...

Voban isn't exactly a nonconformist, and fighting him wouldn't bring any benefit. Why would I bother with a man who's over two hundred years old?

If this old man lies down on the ground halfway through a fight and starts faking an accident, who can you complain to? (laughs)

"What are you thinking about?" Marquis Voban frowned as he looked at Bai Ye, who was suddenly grinning at him.

"Hmm... Grandpa, you're so handsome!"

"...Thank you for the compliment." The Marquis accepted the praise from a king of equal rank with ease.

But why did he always feel that there was some deeper meaning in this guy's smile?

The two are now walking in a port of an island nation in the far east.

After dropping the two old men off, the fat captain quickly replenished the fuel and supplies, then nervously set sail, fearing that one of the two might cause trouble again.

Having arrived here, even without Marquis Voban's words, Bai Ye knew that the next step was to return to Mount Lu and find the martial arts king, who was supposedly the nemesis of the person beside him.

The extraordinary long-distance vision granted by the "All-Seeing One Above the Sky" was enough for Bai Ye to vaguely make out an outline.

Moreover, even if you can't see it, heading west recklessly is definitely the right way to go.

However, before leaving, Bai Ye suddenly became curious about the old man's purpose in coming here.

"Old man, may I ask why you've come here?"

"I heard that before you killed the god, that woman's disciple was already by your side. So you must know something about us, right?"

"What aspect is the old man referring to?"

"What else could it be? Of course, it's my relationship with that woman."

"...Nemesis?" Bai Ye guessed, recalling Lu Yinghua's demonized description of the Marquis.

"Nemesis, that's a good word." The old man nodded, acknowledging Bai Ye's guess. "It was probably... uh, I've forgotten how many years ago, but the conflict between her and me has unknowingly reached this point where it's almost irreconcilable. However, battles between god-slayers, especially battles between multiple disobedient god-slayers, are hard to come by. After all, everyone has a lot of trump cards. So in recent years, I've tried to avoid coming to the East, until yesterday when I heard about your situation."

"……I?"

"Hmm, a newly born god-slayer, and unlike the other members of my race whom I know who were born by various coincidences, everything you do has a very strong purpose, starting from your journey to Rhodes Island."

"But what does this have to do with you coming here?"

“My people couldn’t find any information about you before you left China. It’s as if you appeared out of thin air. So I ordered my men to check all the unusual intelligence around China…” At this point, the Marquis licked his pale lips: “We still haven’t found any information about you, but we did find some small surprises on this island.”

"..."

So, is it simply because the country beneath our feet is being caught in the crossfire that it will simultaneously face two demon kings?

"Enough said. You seem pretty free, so why don't you come along and see for yourself? It'll be a good opportunity for you to witness how a true god-slayer fights against the gods." As he said this, a hint of madness appeared in the old marquis's emerald eyes.

Bai Ye nodded: "Alright, if the old man doesn't think I'll get in the way."

"Haha, how could that be?" The Marquis laughed twice: "For us, no matter how much awe mortals have, it's useless now. But killing a god in front of my own people is a first for me."

Well, it's the first time for the Marquis, not the first time for the Godslayer.

A few years ago, that Italian sword-wielding brute stole the disobedient Siegfried, whom the Marquis had painstakingly summoned, and even usurped the steel powers that Siegfried himself had coveted…

Hum ╯^╰!

"呲-"

Just as the Marquis was feeling somewhat depressed because of thinking about a certain brute, a convoy of luxury cars stopped beside them, and a bespectacled man in a sharp suit stepped out of one of the cars.

"I am Amakasu Touma, the representative of the official history compilation committee, and I am here on behalf of the entire Japanese jujutsu community to welcome the two kings."

"Alright, enough with the nonsense." The old man waved his hand impatiently, signaling Amakasu Touma to shut up.

Expecting the old man to have the same patience he had with Bai Ye for these "ordinary people" is simply a joke.

polite?

How about I politely let you wrestle with the wolf?

"If you don't want me to turn this country into a land of death, then take me to the Western Heavenly Palace. Don't tell me you don't know where that place is."

“Uh…” Amakasu Touma’s expression froze, and he looked weakly at Byakuya.

Noticing his gaze, Marquis Voban also looked at this junior he found quite impressive: "What do you mean?"

Bai Ye smiled and nodded to the Marquis: "Hmm... whatever makes you happy, sir."

"Did you hear me? Hurry up and go!" Having gotten the answer he wanted, the Marquis looked at Amakasu Touma again: "Or do you think your official history compilation committee can bear the wrath of me or him?"

Amakasu Touma: "..."

Why is the script so different from what he expected?

Chapter 080 Let's Learn to Meow Together?

For some people, who the country's leader is and where the leader will go today are not things they absolutely need to know.

They might get excited if they encounter a leader on the street and ask for a photo, but to say they know the leader's whereabouts down to the last detail...

People who do this are usually invited for questioning because they are suspected of having ulterior motives.

Of course, the above describes the situation in the world of ordinary people.
