The Ten Incarnations and the Power of Immunity (EX) / Erica's Petition of Loyalty and the Awkward Ahoge King

'Snap--'

Immediately afterwards, the swords emitted a crisp sound and all vanished in a golden glow.

Arthur, riddled with 17 stabs, remains unharmed.

However, just like before, the Authority that Arthur usurped from the dragon-slaying hero 'Perseus,' belonging to 'Mithra's' Authority 'Sun,' was also severed from his connection.

Their trump card, which gave them an absolute advantage over Verethragna, has simply vanished.

"Fool, why don't you fight back?" Even Verethragna couldn't help but be puzzled by this scene and blurted out the question subconsciously.

He was confident that even if the other party possessed the Authority of a master, they would not be able to seal away his strongest [Warrior] avatar.

However, he was also not confident that he could completely sever his master's Authority while the other party resisted.

After all, "Mithra" was his master and had an absolute advantage in suppressing his Authority.

I thought it would be a battle between divine power and magical power!

Unexpectedly, the other party offered no resistance, allowing him to sever his master's Authority.

When something difficult is accomplished too easily, it can easily cause unease. This statement is Truth for both humans and deities.

A sense of foreboding involuntarily arose in Verethragna's heart.

"Oh? Are you done attacking?" Arthur seemed to snap out of his daze upon hearing this, and looked at Verethragna with a faint smile, saying, "Then, it's my turn to attack."

'Zzzzz... whoosh!'

The moment he finished speaking, wisps of electricity crackled around Arthur, and he raised his hand to unleash a thick bolt of lightning at Verethragna.

However, although this lightning pillar was the Authority Thunder the 'Sky', it was at least twice as powerful as the lightning pillar that had fought against Verethragna [Goat] before.

The reason for this is naturally that Arthur was not focused and used his attack carelessly.

Moreover, the shape of this lightning pillar is different from the previous ones.

Its power had weakened, and its exterior was still wreathed in a layer of blue flames.

But it was precisely this layer of blue flame that startled Verethragna, who, like a wise man, had seen through everything and remained calm, and he hurriedly cried out, " --Prometheus, one of the wisest gods in Greek Mythology, you..."

Verethragna's rapid speech revealed his anxiety.

But no matter how fast he spoke, he couldn't outpace Lei Zhu's speed.

But no matter how fast he spoke, he couldn't outpace Lei Zhu's speed.

A pillar of lightning, wreathed in blue flames, engulfed Verethragna.

Despite being surrounded by lightning, Verethragna did not suffer much damage because Arthur's spell power was not strong.

What made him widen his eyes and reveal shock and anger on his face was...

The layer of blue flames did not harm him, but it took the Golden Sword from his hand.

After the lightning bolts dissipated, Verethragna realized that the reason Arthur's lightning bolts were not very powerful was because he was holding a stone tablet in his hand.

Verethragna recognized the image on the stone tablet as Prometheus, the god of wisdom in ancient Greek Mythology who created humankind and also stole fire for them, teaching them much knowledge and skills.

Because of the lightning pillar, Verethragna didn't notice for a moment that Arthur had suddenly acquired this item.

We've fallen for their trick!

"I stole it..." Looking at the empty Verethragna in his hand, Arthur saw the stone tablet vanish from his grasp and reached out to grab at the air.

"--With the power of my Word of Power, let justice be revealed in the world! These incantations are powerful and eloquent, the Sword of Wisdom of Victory-- "

A golden halo, seemingly formed from condensed air, transformed into a massive light shield that spread outwards.

In that instant, the world underwent a tremendous change.

The sky transformed into a starry sky, breathtakingly beautiful.

The earth turned to gold, and the air was filled with the scent of victory.

Endless, mysterious runes materialized and floated in the air, while countless Golden Swords of various shapes were stuck everywhere on the earth.

Even the sky was filled with Golden Swords that seemed to float like a celestial curtain.

This is a barrier, a realm similar to a 'Reality Marble'.

From this moment on, this scene will become the most memorable mental landscape for Arthur, and he will be able to recreate this scene using the 'Reality Marble' that materializes mental landscapes.

The [Warrior] Authority was tailor-made for him.

From the moment he came into this world, Arthur believed this.

Therefore, he stood still in 637, letting Verethragna sever his connection with the 'Excalibur' and the Authority 'Sun'.

And now, he has stolen the power he craved most.

At that moment, Arthur raised his Golden Sword, pointed it at Verethragna, and shouted, "I know you, Verethragna! You are the ancient Persia god of war, the Never Defeated god of victory, the guardian who serves the god of light, Mithra."

"Mithra is the embodiment of the Sun, so you, Verethragna, also have a connection to the Sun. In West Asia, you are known as the Guardian of Light, sharing the same origin as the Indian 'Thunder God,' Indra."

As the Word of Power was completed, the Golden Swords in the golden world, whether planted in the earth or floating in the air, began to tremble, as if responding to Arthur. They rose from the ground and floated in the air, aiming at Verethragna.

"Well... let this be the end, Never Defeated war god— Verethragna!" Arthur raised his Golden Sword high and swung it down at Verethragna.

"Whoosh--"

The sky, transformed into a starry expanse, was showered with countless dazzling golden meteors.

Standing on this golden land that bore witness to his glorious achievements, Verethragna, one hand on his hip, wore a relaxed smile, a look of enjoyment on his face. "So this is what defeat tastes like? Not bad, just a little unsettling..."

Chapter 343 The Ten Incarnations, the Power of Immunity (ex)

"--I am the strongest, and I hold all victory in my hands, whether man or demon, I will thwart the hostility of all enemies, I will crush any foe that stands in my way--"

The Word of Power belonging to Verethragna, borrowed by Arthur and used to establish the strongest position in the Sea of the Sea.

Ever since the system enabled the dungeon function, Arthur has been trying to come to the world of 'God Slayer', and he has taken the complete Word of Power from Verethragna.

Now, he could finally rightfully take this Word of Power phrase from Verethragna's hands and use it to bid farewell to this "Never Defeated" "god of victory."

"..."

With Verethragna's departure, the world of gold shattered like glass.

The sky returned to its azure, overcast state, and the apocalyptic atmosphere that had permeated the entire island of Sardinia vanished.

"Ding! You have won this battle..."

As soon as Arthur returned, the system notification sounded in his mind, and two incredibly powerful forces surged within him.

Just like when Melqart was killed, these two forces were the system's enhancement and the "supreme power" of the "Heretic God".

With the enhancement of these two powers, Arthur's depleted Mana quickly recovered to full and then surged wildly.

5.5 times, 6 times, 6.5 times, 7 times!

The Mana (cursed power) surged wildly to a level seven times stronger than that of a human body before finally stopping.

This value was more than double what it was when Arthur first became the "God Slayer".

Feeling the amount of Mana (cursed power) within his body, Arthur finally understood why the "God Slayer" so desperately wanted to kill the "Heretic Gods ".

Besides the fact that "God Slayer" possess battle-maniac traits, the greater their power is from slaying more "Heretic Gods," and the more Authority they gain.

If we say that there is a world of difference between Arthur after he became a "God Slayer" and when he was still human, then...

Therefore, after killing Melqart, Arthur's increase in strength was very slight.

Aside from a massive increase in Mana (spell power), he only gained the Authority to control the sky.

But after killing Verethragna, Arthur quickly distanced himself from the person he was when he first became the "God Slayer".

The surge in Mana (spell power) is secondary!

The main problem was that he usurped Verethragna's Authority, which was far too outrageous.

Inside Arthur's body, he could clearly sense an ancient stone disc with ten patterns connected to it.

They are -- "Strong Wind", "Boy", "White Horse", "Ram", "Bull", "Camel", "Goat", "Boar", and -- "Warrior".

"Strong Wind" means controlling the power of the wind, and Verethragna's levitation is achieved through this [avatar] ability.

"Youth" can use Word of Power, provide protection, and command obedience. They can also bestow protection upon those important to them, but the method of use must be a mouth-to-mouth transmission.

Needless to say, the "White Horse" is a divine White Horse imbued with the fire of the Sun, its power second only to the incarnation of the "Warrior".

The effect of "Ram" is that it can heal any injury within a few hours, but it must be activated by the user's own will when near death.

The "Phoenix" ability grants superhuman agility, but due to its extreme speed, it places a heavy burden on the body, causing intense heart pain depending on the duration of use. There is no Magecraft that can directly eliminate this pain.

But the burden of this [avatar] ability is nothing to Arthur.

Because of Avalon, Arthur will never suffer from internal injuries.

The effect of "Bull" is that during battle, one gains overwhelming superhuman strength that surpasses human limits, and the larger the opponent, the greater the superhuman strength.

This is specifically designed to counter the [Avatar] ability of the Giants.

The effect of "Camel" is very similar to that of "Bull," but the effect of "Camel" transformation is to enhance leg strength.

Verethragna used this [avatar] ability to easily crush Arthur's lightning pillar into a shower of light with a single kick.

Without a doubt, stepping on the ground would cause severe damage to the earth.

"Goat" can unleash Inazuma and seize control of the enemy's Authority.

It was with this ability that Verethragna stole Melqart's thundercloud.

Needless to say, the "Boar" directly summons the divine beast Boar, which Erica calls the "Heretic God."

If Arthur only finds "White Horse," "Boy," and "Phoenix" worthy of his attention among the nine [avatars] mentioned above, then the sum of all nine [avatars] still cannot compare to "Warrior."

The "Warrior" persona was tailor-made for Arthur; that's absolutely true.

Arthur is a time traveler, and his perspective is broader than anyone else's.

Because of his knowledge of the plot, Arthur knows information about everyone.

Even if you don't know or have forgotten, you can simply expand or fill in your knowledge base.

More importantly, Arthur possesses an absolute advantage that none of the (Ma Lee's) "God Slayer" have.

The more powerful the "God Slayer has slain the " Heretic Gods," the greater the Authority imposed upon him.

In the original work, Godou Kusanagi because he usurped Verethragna's [Ten Incarnations]. Each [Incarnation]'s ability could only be used once, and after it was used, it could not be used again that day.

But this so-called restriction had no effect on Arthur whatsoever.

Yes, Arthur had assumed he would also face significant limitations.

Unexpectedly, the limitations of [Ten Incarnations] were directly removed by 'Immunity)'.

It's clear that the limitation of only being able to use it once a day is being treated as a negative state by 'Immunity)'.

Only now did Arthur realize the power of his innate skill 'Immunity)'.

Chapter 344 Erica's Petition for Allegiance, the Awkward Saber King

A few days later.

Sardinia, the most luxurious hotel where Arthur is staying.

"Lord Arthur, here is what you need: a small selection of all the ancient, mythical, and heroic texts currently held in the 'Copper Black Cross' collection."

In the luxurious and spacious VIP room, Erica placed a large stack of books, full of the marks of time, on the table in front of Arthur, and smiled with one hand on her hip.

"Ah... thank you for your hard work." Arthur picked up a book about Rome, glanced at it carefully, looked up at Erica, and said with a light laugh.

"Your Excellency need not be so formal. You are the seventh 'King' in this world, and your needs are what every Magecraft society in the world would do everything in its power to find," Erica said with a gentle smile, though she was secretly very pleased.

I've always heard my uncle say that the "God Slayer" is so unpredictable, it's hard for ordinary people to communicate with him, and you have to treat him like a tiger in your presence.

When I first met Arthur, his lukewarm attitude was indeed just as my uncle had described.
