Gensokyo's Dimensional Black Shop

However, I still find combat-related powers more pleasing to the eye.

After much deliberation, he finally chose Helios, whose legend was rather simple, from among the relics.

In a strict sense, the final result was not beyond Bai Ye's expectations; he obtained Helios's authority as the sun god.

The Eternal Sun God

According to legend, Helios was the sun god from birth, and will always be.

Legend has it that Hephaestus, the god of fire, built him a chariot of the sun and cast a golden temple for the sun.

Legend has it that every day when Eos, the goddess of dawn, opens the gate with her rose-colored fingers, Helios drives his sun chariot, pulled by four fiery horses, on his westward journey until dusk falls on the other side of Oceanus.

Legend has it that Helios, driving the sun chariot high above, could see everything. He witnessed Hades abducting Persephone, and he saw Ares and Aphrodite's secret rendezvous...

These stories passed down in Greek mythology all originate from that very first sentence:

Helios was the sun god from birth, and he always will be!

This is the power that Bai Ye usurped.

When Bai Ye activates his powers, he will briefly transform into the sun god riding in a four-horse chariot and wield all the powers of the sun god.

As for the drawbacks of the power... it's probably the insane consumption of magical power, right?

After roughly estimating the amount of cursed power within his body, Bai Ye felt that if he were to truly transform into the sun on earth, he probably wouldn't be able to last even three minutes.

However, as a paying player, the issue of curse power wasn't really a problem, at least not until all of Bai Ye's Origin Coins were used up. Logically, having obtained the power he wanted, Bai Ye should have been very happy, but he found his feelings somewhat complicated...

To be precise, it should be the legendary proverb "a snake trying to swallow an elephant" (meaning that greed is insatiable).

The Titan's body! Judging from Helios's performance at that time, his power as a Titan might have been even greater than that of the sun god.

While it cannot be ruled out that Helios did not want to destroy the island that had adhered to its beliefs until the very end, the fact that it was brought out at that time at least proved that the power of the Titan body made Helios feel that he was able to deal with the battle at that time.

Turning around, he glanced at Lu Yinghua and the others who were not far away. Lu Yinghua quickly ran up to Bai Ye and respectfully clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"Lu Yinghua, the leader of the Five Prisons Holy Sect and disciple of the Jiangnan Martial Arts King, greets King Baiye and asks for your forgiveness for his previous rude behavior."

"...So you finally know how to address me differently?"

Two beads of cold sweat appeared on Lu Yinghua's forehead.

Who would have thought that you would suddenly become a god-slayer (campione) when everything was fine!

What is a godkiller?

To paraphrase a line from the Council of Wise Men—

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.

In short, Godkillers are a group of terrifying creatures who, if they so choose, can make even the world obediently lie on the ground with its legs spread apart!

Ordinary weapons are completely ineffective against a god-slayer. Even a powerful warrior who has reached the pinnacle of mortal power, the Great Knight, cannot withstand a single blow from a god-slayer!

To defeat the Godslayer, one must find an existence of equal power.

They are either god-slayers or disobedient gods.

In any case, Lu Yinghua felt that if Bai Ye, as a god-slayer, were to really take things seriously, the mere charge of "disrespecting a king" would be enough to obliterate him...

As for his identity as a disciple of the Martial Arts King...

It might hurt his morale to say this, but Lu Yinghua really felt that in his master's eyes, he might not be as important as Bai Yelai.

Before seeing Bai Ye's actions, when he wasn't yet a top-tier player, could Luo Hao accept Bai Ye's pat on the shoulder so readily?

Now, chapter 393 is alright. Bai Ye has murdered the Sun God and usurped the power of the gods, so the only remaining difference between the two, seemingly in terms of their social status, is gone...

The more Lu Yinghua thought about it, the more depressed he became.

"Alright, stop standing there. Let's clear out those guys around here first, so they don't interfere with my next move... At least I feel that this time, it might not be as easy as before."

"May I ask what you meant by that last time?" Lu Yinghua blinked, a strange sense of unease creeping over him.

"...Enough with the nonsense, just tell them to get out of the way. Of course, if they think they're asking for trouble, then disregard what I said." Bai Ye rolled his eyes.

"Yes!"

With a fist clenched, Lu Yinghua used his lightness skill to run towards the members of the local Greek magic society who were somewhat at a loss because of the birth of the new king.

Bai Ye rested his chin on his hand and gazed at the sea for a while. He then spent some Origin Coins to replicate the stone head of Helios—the kind that exudes divinity.

I absolutely must get the Titan's Body today!

(￣～￣;)

Chapter 074 Helios: mmp!

"Mortal, not long ago, another mortal summoned me as a disobedient god. After a battle, I acknowledged his magnanimity and bestowed upon him my authority. I wonder what you can do?" Before the disobedient body was fully formed, Helios's voice echoed across the sea.

white night:"……"

"..." x2

"It's you again?!" Helios's expression was contorted. "I've already given you my best powers, what more do you want!"

"Hmm... I guess I just missed you and wanted to ask you to come down so we could chat for a bit more?"

"Bullshit, I don't believe it!" Helios cursed.

white night:"……"

Thinking about it carefully, sending the other party back to the mythical realm one moment and then summoning him back the next seems a bit underhanded.

However, it seems unfair to wait a few more days before summoning...

"Anyway, now that you're out, why don't you go die again? Trust me, it'll be easy, and it won't hurt at all~"

"Heh." Helios's lips twitched.

"..."

"Wait, I suddenly remembered that the gun you used to kill me seemed to have disintegrated after I died. Although I don't know the principle behind it, you no longer have any means to kill me effectively!" After standing on the sea for a while, Helios's eyes suddenly lit up as he thought of the scene he saw before returning to the realm between life and death.

The situation at that time didn't seem like Bai Ye had voluntarily put away his spear.

Now that I'm no longer going to get instantly killed, shouldn't I take this opportunity to vent my anger?

If you really think he's a god, and he didn't even have a chance to enjoy mortal life before being sent back to mythology, how happy can he be?

Smiling on the outside, but cursing under their breath.

"Come, son of the fool! I am curious how you managed to summon me to the mortal realm twice, but I must say, you made a terrible mistake. This time, I will repay you in full what you inflicted upon me last time!"

After spouting his usual witty remarks, Helios felt himself becoming more energetic.

"That would be perfect, I'll be waiting." A smile also appeared on Bai Ye's face.

Although with his current Origin Currency, he could still reliably rub the God-Slaying Spear ten or so times, his body had now transformed into the kind of physique that a God-Slayer could use to fight against gods.

Looking back on every battle since arriving in Gensokyo, it was all thanks to me using the invincible shield from the Dimensional Shop to cheat.

While being able to resort to shamelessness in a life-or-death struggle is a skill in itself, it doesn't mean he enjoys it.

Doesn't Bai have any pride?

Bai Ye allowed the system to activate its shield to save his life only when he was truly on the verge of death, and a blood-red spear reappeared in his hand.

If we disregard techniques like "guaranteed hit" or "declaration," and consider it merely as an ordinary melee weapon, Bai Ye believes that among his existing possessions, the projection of Gungnir, possessing the strength of a divine artifact, is probably the most suitable.

"Oh!"

Gungnir and Helios's swords clashed, the cursed power of the god-slayer and the divine power of the god mingling and spreading outwards, heralding the start of a new round of battle.

……

While Bai Ye and Helios were chatting, not far away, in the residential area outside the port, Lu Yinghua coldly watched the members of the Greek native magic society in front of him.

"I have made the White Night King's meaning very clear: now, immediately, right now, you must get away from here. Even if he destroys the entire Port Rhodes, you have no right to comment on it, do you?"

"us……"

The middle-aged men exchanged glances, momentarily speechless.

As a mobile calamity wielding divine authority yet roaming the mortal realm with the body of a king, the Godslayers could easily destroy Rhodes Port, let alone rhodes island. Even if they razed the entire island to the ground, they would have no choice but to swallow their pride and bear the loss.

What else can we do? Take the list of people who died in the city renovations and go to the Godkiller to demand compensation?

Those who did that are long gone, their graves are probably overgrown with weeds by now.

"Since you have no objection to the White Night King's will, what are you still standing here for? Are you waiting for him to come and discuss it with you personally?" Seeing that these people were still standing still, Lu Yinghua snorted coldly.

Backed by two powerful figures, Luo Hao and Bai Ye, and holding a high position within the Five Prisons Holy Sect due to his status as Luo Hao's disciple, Lu Yinghua felt no pressure whatsoever when confronting a mere Greek magic society...

Whether it's competing based on connections, influence, or going it alone, I can say I've won completely!

"If I may ask, is the White Night King... the title of the newly born seventh king?"

"Um……"

When you called Bai Ye "King Bai Ye", he just joked that you didn't continue to call him Lord Bai Ye. You didn't object to the title "King Bai Ye", right?

"Yes." Thinking of this, Lu Yinghua nodded.

"Understood. Please convey to King White Night that we warmly welcome Your Majesty to Rhodes Island. If Your Majesty requires anything, please do not hesitate to give the order."

"Alright, alright, is there anything in the mortal world that the Five Prisons Holy Sect can't do?" Lu Yinghua waved his hand.

Just as he was thinking of going back to see what Bai Ye meant by "a bigger commotion than before," Bai Ye and Helios officially began their battle.

The battle between the god-slayer and the disobedient god had barely begun when their combined power was already spreading wildly in all directions.

At this moment, Lu Yinghua felt that he had a "MMP" (a vulgar expression) he didn't know whether he should say or not.

Chapter 075 The Legendary Frustration?

Upon discovering that Bai Ye had re-entered the mode of directly confronting the God of Disobedience just minutes after he left, Lu Yinghua took a few steps back and entered the spectator view.

After squinting at the battle between the two on the sea for a while, Lu Yinghua suddenly gave himself a light slap on the face...

They couldn't even see Bai Ye and that disobedient figure clearly, so what was the point of watching the battle!

"What are you looking at? You dare disobey the White Night King's orders?"

"Don't dare, don't dare."

The middle-aged man, who also noticed the commotion and wanted to come back to check again, waved his hands repeatedly.

Although there is no tradition of "a new broom sweeps clean," if some foolish individuals try to cause trouble when a new king takes office, the king would not mind using their blood to rekindle the world's awe of the monarch.

Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance, the middle-aged man doesn't want to gamble with his magic society.

……

Although he needed to be fully focused in a close battle, Helios's combat skills were clearly much more proficient compared to the slightly inexperienced Bai Ye.

At least when he was in close combat with Bai Ye, he could still keep an eye on the surrounding area.

This is an instinctive reaction that only someone who has actually been on the battlefield would have. After all, unless a warrior is strong enough to ignore most open and covert attacks and unleash his full power, no warrior can guarantee that he will not encounter a sudden death.

“O son of the fool, who has fought me to this extent, I acknowledge you as a worthy opponent. Now, in the name of Helios, the sun god, I inquire of your name.”

“In the name of God, huh? Then I should feel truly honored.” Bai Ye smiled. “Then let’s get to know each other formally. My name is Bai Ye, and I’m just a traveler who came here by chance.”

“A traveler?” Helios raised an eyebrow. “It’s clear you have a good follower.”

"You mean Lu Yinghua? I borrowed that from that martial arts king from the East."

"Haha, does it really matter whether you lend them or not? As long as your followers can perfectly do what you ask, that's enough." Helios brandished his longsword twice, deflecting Bai Ye's sure-fire attack: "Moreover, being able to borrow manpower from other Fools' Sons while still a mortal, it seems I was indeed underestimating them last time I came down."

"Helios..."

"Do you have any different opinions about what I said?"
