My Lord's Authority... / The Overpowered [Warrior] Incarnation...
"It's burning... My blood is burning!" After shattering the sword's pressure, Verethragna's expression changed slightly. A wild smile appeared on his handsome, youthful face, and his eyes were filled with intense fighting spirit. He stared excitedly at Arthur, who was also filled with fighting spirit. Their gazes met like a horizon.
Sparks could be faintly seen flying up.
Chapter 340 The Authority of Our Lord...
(The previous chapter incorrectly stated that Verethragna used his hands to activate his [Camel] avatar ability; it should have been written that he used his feet. This has been corrected.)
" --Inazuma! Inazuma! Inazuma! I am the conqueror who can defeat a thousand with a hundred, a thousand with a thousand, a ten thousand with ten thousand. Now, grant me divine power, for I stand on the side of justice! It is I who will shatter man and demon—all enemies and hostility!--"
The Word of Power chanted by the victorious being echoed once more on the Sardinia coast.
Even the sounds of thunder and waves, even the Gale and torrential rain, could not obscure this sacred verse filled with divine power.
'Click--'
An ancient stone disc appeared behind Verethragna, connected by ten patterns.
As his Word of Power fell, the stone disc began to spin, and finally a pattern of a [Goat] came to rest on its head.
In an instant, the phantom of a [Goat] appeared in the sky.
A thunderous roar suddenly erupted.
A massive Inazuma of lightning instantly cleaved down from the thunderclouds and struck Arthur.
"Divine Judgment-- "
'Sizzle sizzle...'
Arthur gripped Excalibur in one hand and slapped the sky with the other.
The power of the spell surged forth, and the newly usurped Authority 'Sky' was activated. Strands of electricity crackled in her fair, jade-like hand, instantly transforming into a thick pillar of lightning that shot into the sky.
Having mastered the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Arthur's affinity for and control over lightning had reached an extremely high level.
Despite having just usurped Melqart's Authority, Arthur was able to wield the power of 'Thunder' with unparalleled skill.
This lightning bolt is not a power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, but rather the power of the 'Thunder' from the 'Sky' Authority.
In reality, the thunderclouds and Gale rain in the sky were all Arthur's doing.
To be precise, it was Melqart who did it.
However, after Melqart's fall, the scene created by this Authority was taken over by Verethragna's [Goat].
However, Arthur was also involved.
He can also control the added Inazuma to attack Verethragna.
However, Arthur is more accustomed to using the power of 'Thunder' through the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
"--Fear those who possess wings! The wicked and the powerful alike fear me, with my wings! My wings will bring you curses! The wicked cannot strike me!"
The massive bolt of lightning easily shattered the descending Inazuma, and its remaining power roared towards Verethragna in the sky.
The Word of Power representing the [Phoenix] emanated from Verethragna's mouth.
The ancient stone disc spun again, this time stopping above its head in the pattern of a Phoenix.
The ancient stone disc spun again, this time stopping above its head in the pattern of a Phoenix.
His youthful body was covered in a layer of silver fluorescence. Verethragna only turned to the side, and the lightning bolts only obscured his afterimage.
However, the message contained in that Word of Power made Arthur below roll his eyes.
Such Word of Power are far too likely to offend people!
"You've used the Authority of the Mediterranean Sea God-King very well, Fool!" As if teleporting, Verethragna descended from the sky, but his feet remained suspended about thirty centimeters above the ground, as if he didn't want his body to be covered in the dust of the earth.
He remained interested, casually saying to Arthur, "And you've usurped his other Authority? The Gale, the locust plague, the dead of the underworld, that Mediterranean Sea god-king—have you regained the powers I destroyed?"
"I only usurped 'Thunder' and 'Gale'," Arthur said casually, without hiding anything.
"Have you usurped the Authority of the Sky God?" Verethragna shook his head, saying, "I possess both wind and thunder powers; these two Authority alone are not enough to defeat me."
Upon hearing this, Arthur revealed a meaningful smile, "I never expected this Authority to defeat you!"
"I see. I almost forgot that before you fought the Mediterranean Sea God-King, you were already Fool bathed in the blood of us gods." Verethragna Satori, and the wildness that had been gradually subsiding reappeared. He said excitedly, "Then let me see just how much supreme power you have usurped from my kind!"
· ······Requesting flowers·· ····
"Ah... I'm sure you'll be very 'happy'!" Arthur's enigmatic smile deepened.
Witnessing this scene, Verethragna subconsciously frowned slightly, but before he could even wonder, Arthur suddenly raised Excalibur high in his hand and shouted, "Now, with the Shemesh's Blessing, unleash this sword—a sword of certain death!"
A seven-colored halo appeared behind it, radiating the 'supreme power' familiar to Verethragna. Terrifying magical power was attached to the sword, compressed into a layer of golden light. Under the blessing of the Authority 'Sun', it transformed into a huge golden tooth, which swung towards Verethragna.
0
The golden sword, Authority by the 'Sun', exerted an invisible force of restraint, disrupting Verethragna's ongoing [Phoenix] avatar.
Whether it will be a fatal blow is unknown, but the sword strike is certain to hit.
'Boom--!'
Perhaps due to the shock, Verethragna, whose [Phoenix] avatar was interrupted, was unable to react in time and was struck head-on by the golden sword.
The sword's weight engulfed Verethragna, creating a deep ravine hundreds of meters long that stretched across the damp, yellow sandy ground by the sea.
Even an ordinary swordsman could achieve this level of destructive power, but the difference in power system and rank created a significant gap in mass between this strike and the vastness of the sea and the earth.
When the pressure of the sword dissipated, what was revealed was Verethragna's rather disheveled figure.
The deity's body was covered in many tattered clothes, and there were traces of blood on his face, neck, and arms.
This injury, or perhaps the stimulation from Arthur's Authority 'Sun', caused his arrogant and victorious expression to be covered with a dazzling fluorescent light, his Kamui spreading outwards.
"The Authority of our Lord..."
Chapter 341 The Foul-Breaking [Warrior] Incarnation
"My lord's supreme power... I never imagined that you would steal it!" Verethragna's body floated in the air, and his youthful and handsome face finally lost its leisure and arrogance, instead revealing a gloomy look that he had expected.
"Isn't this Authority a pleasant surprise?" Arthur didn't press his advantage, but instead put down Excalibur and said with a smile.
"Ah... this truly surprises and infuriates me!" Verethragna readily accepted this 'provocation,' and the silvery-white fluorescence covering his entire body instantly intensified. He suddenly raised his pale hand and shouted loudly:
"--For victory, come quickly before me! Immortal Sun, grant me a radiant steed, a spirited horse with swift hooves, bring me the halo symbolizing your lord, '237'!"
"Hiss--Yu Yu!!"
The Word of Power representing the incarnation of the [White Horse] resounded throughout heaven and earth.
As the ancient stone disc turned, the dark, gloomy thunderclouds in the sky slowly dissipated, as if driven away by some powerful force.
The sky was a clear, deep blue, without a single cloud in sight.
A sharp neighing of horses rang out from the golden Sun.
A magnificent White Horse galloped down from the Sun, its rapid, resounding hooves trailing a trail of intense golden fire behind it, accompanied by sonic booms that seemed to burn the air, as it charged toward Arthur.
Its power was no less than that of a meteorite falling from the sky.
The power of this [White Horse] incarnation is second only to that of the [Warrior].
That magnificent White Horse, with golden flames wrapped around its body and trailing behind it, was truly a product of the Sun's fire.
The temperature of the Sun's fire, on the surface, is approximately 5500 degrees Celsius.
Under such high temperatures, everything that comes into contact with it will be burned into a gaseous state.
The temperature of magma is only between 700 and 1200 degrees Celsius, with a maximum of 1300 degrees Celsius.
This magnificent White Horse is not to be underestimated by any "God Slayer".
However, Arthur was an exception.
"You're truly a cunning and ruthless person."
He gazed at the white steed galloping down from the Sun, and suddenly a seven-colored halo appeared behind him, radiating a dazzling light like the Sun itself. He roared, "--Serving the embodiment of 'Victory,' who shines like the Sun, lay down your swords and bow down in submission!"
"Hiss--"
As the Word of Power fell, the galloping white horse stopped abruptly, its forelegs raised high, and its body, wreathed in the fire of the Sun, visibly darkened, with numerous petrifying cracks gradually spreading across its entire body.
In no time, the magnificent White Horse had vanished.
At the same time, the ancient stone disc behind Verethragna, with its pattern representing White Horse, also dimmed.
It was sealed away by Arthur's Authority, the 'Sun'.
It was sealed away by Arthur's Authority, the 'Sun'.
"Fool..."
Seeing his [White Horse] avatar sealed away, and realizing that this "God Slayer" before him had indeed usurped his master [Mithra's ] 'Supreme Power', Verethragna's youthful and handsome face no longer showed anger, but instead regained its previous leisurely smile, and he slowly said, "I acknowledge you. State your name!"
"Arthur Pendragon— " Arthur said without any concealment.
"Not only did I inherit the Divine Artifacts of that great king from Celtic Mythology, but I also inherited his name?" Verethragna murmured softly, then cast aside these complex thoughts, raised her hand and grabbed at the air beside her, shouting loudly, "--With my power of Word of Power, let justice be revealed in the world--"
"--These incantations are powerful and eloquent, the Sword of Wisdom of Victory-- "
On his fair, jade-like palm, the same golden light that appeared when Arthur drew the Excalibur's and the 'Rhongomyniad' slowly coalesced into a Golden Sword.
The Golden Sword was exceptionally beautiful, with a captivating luster emanating from the mysterious runes adorning its blade.
As Verethragna wielded the Golden Sword, a gentle divine power emanated from him, making him appear like a wise sage who had seen through the essence of everything in the world.
Those eyes, gleaming with indifference, gazed at Arthur, and he spoke in a cool tone, "--The Holy Sword Excalibur, also known as the Excalibur, the Caliburn. It is a holy sword that appeared alongside legendary heroes, representing domination and destruction, thus being called the symbol of heroic rule, the weapon of the king of kings, the sword of swords...--"
The divine power surrounding Verethragna, woven into the Excalibur through Word of Power, suddenly rippled outwards, transforming into a tangible shield of light that spread outwards.
Immediately, dozens of Golden Swords of varying shapes, each bearing mysterious runes, appeared behind him. As if equipped with a tracking system, they rained down on Arthur like arrows.
Looking at the rain of swords raining down, Arthur neither dodged nor retaliated.
He didn't even unleash the power of 'Avalon', and just stood there, letting the torrential rain of swords pierce his body.
'Pfft--'
The sound of sharp weapons piercing flesh rang out, and Arthur's body was now riddled with Golden Swords.
'Snap--'
A moment later, the Golden Swords that had pierced Arthur's entire body shattered like broken glass, turning into a shower of golden light.
Arthur's body was completely unharmed, as if the scene just now was merely an illusion.
However, Arthur felt that he had lost a connection with the Excalibur in his hand.
This connection is 'True Name Release - Excalibur'!
Arthur clearly sensed that he was temporarily unable to unleash the power of Excalibur.
However, it can unleash the power of the Conceptual Enchantment 'Heaven and Earth Divergence, Creation Star'.
"This is too unfair, too powerful, too perfect." Thinking this, Arthur looked up at Verethragna, his emerald green eyes gleaming with an inexplicable, burning intensity.
Chapter 342 The Most Desired Ability is Obtained
"--The source of light that seals my [avatar] is the [supreme power] of my master, the 'Sun God' Mithras! My master, Mithras, also known as Mithras, is the most revered chief god who dwells among the meteorites of the heavens, wielding a sharp blade, and who established the 'Mithraism' in the Rome Empire-- "
After temporarily severing Arthur's connection with the 'Excalibur', Verethragna began weaving new Word of Power, this time chanting them to his master, 'Mithra'.
The divine power surrounding them stirred up ripples that spread outwards, transforming into a golden light shield that reached Lerslana and Arthur.
As the Word of Power was completed, dozens of Golden Swords of varying shapes reappeared behind Verethragna.
'Whoosh--'
A torrential downpour of Golden Swords transformed into streaks of golden meteors, hurtling towards Arthur.
'Pfft--'
Dozens of Golden Swords were thrust into Arthur's body, forming a golden mound that buried him deep within.
