Merlin, You Bastard, You Set Me Up!
Absolute Demonic Beast Front: Nanmen Fangbi.
With a tremendous roar echoing all around, the city wall, which was reinforced with multiple complex spells, was suddenly torn open with a terrifying gap, and billowing smoke and dust swept across the streets within a radius of dozens of meters.
Stones rained down from the sky, clattering against the shields the soldiers had erected. The terrifying impact forced them to stagger backward, their arms aching and numb.
The figure that emerged from the smoke, arms outstretched in a gesture of warm embrace, and the gaping hole behind her, sent chills down everyone's spines and threw them into a panic.
That's an ultimate barrier that can even withstand two hits from the Beast Goddess's map attack!
It was actually dismantled by hand! Jian Zi is insane!
"Calm down! Have you all forgotten Lord Leonidas's teachings?!"
"The closer reason is to you, the further death is from you!"
"All troops! Form the Hedgehog Formation! Three-tiered defense!"
General Tim, whose arm had been severed, was sent to the East Gate barracks for recuperation. He raised his hand and roared.
The well-trained Uruk soldiers, under the command of their officers, immediately dispelled their fear and unleashed a powerful, unified shout, propelling the troops forward.
At that moment, a row of javelins engraved with wedge-shaped symbols such as "tough," "sharp," "bleeding," and "armor-piercing" were hurled out with a whooshing sound, using the strength of the waist.
Furthermore, dozens of Astrology Platform Magecraft and Shrine Maiden's Office accompanying the army followed behind the camp, chanting incantations and precisely casting various spells into the billowing dust.
The etheric waves that converged from all sides tore through the blurry obscuring view, revealing the invader with its exotic South American flair.
The newcomer's loose golden hair was tied up with straw and plant-like crowns, and his emerald green eyes radiated vitality and kindness. He wore a Mayan-style red and yellow swastika-patterned battle skirt.
The ten fingers interlaced on her chest cracked with a crisp sound, and every inch of her tall figure showed off her sun-kissed wheat-colored skin, which seemed to be full of terrifying explosive power.
"Boom boom boom boom!"
Then, in a brief, fleeting glimpse, the javelins and spells unleashed by the south gate guards fiercely struck the figure with open arms.
Sharp, explosive sounds echoed throughout the air.
However, in an instant, due to the extreme distortion of the air, the curse was completely dispelled before it could even reach the body.
With a swift pull and sweep of that slender arm, the javelin was caught in the palm of the hand, like a bird returning to its nest.
Immediately, dozens of javelins were carelessly discarded to one side. The casual action caused the javelins to embed themselves more than a meter into the stone slab, and the butts of the javelins trembled violently.
Just as everyone was filled with shock, a soft laugh, accompanied by a thick, foreign nasal tone, rang out.
"Wow, what a warm welcome! I love it so much!"
"Therefore, as a gesture of respect, I will choose the best warrior among you and issue a challenge!"
The garrison commander Tim's face hardened. He immediately changed his hand gestures, and the Uruk soldiers, who were in formation, raised their shields and thrust their spears without hesitation.
However, how insignificant humanity was, and how weak its resistance, before this supreme god who ruled the Mayan World for an era.
With a mere wave of his hand, the Feathered Serpent God Kukulkan snapped dozens of spears in two with a sweeping, wheat-colored forearm.
Neither the resilient divine patterns on the cedar pole nor the surging etheric particles around it were completely ignored.
The flying spearheads pierced through the earthen walls of several houses before their force finally dissipated.
The soldiers in the front row had severed thumbs and forefingers, and collapsed to the back, spitting blood incessantly. They were clearly no longer able to fight.
"Hey, you fleshy creatures! You were beings from the Age of Gods, stop slacking off your untrained bodies!"
"You should try to avoid using weapons during a fight, right?"
"Ah, under this perfect sunlight and stage, charge against God, and wrestle with me in a fierce battle!"
"Come! Let the collision of flesh compose a hymn of courage for humankind!"
While carefully instructing and encouraging the insignificant human beings to bravely rebel against the gods, Feathered Serpent God seemed to revel in this feeling.
But the experienced garrison commander Tim would naturally not abandon the advantage of humans forging enchanted weapons, and would actually order his soldiers to abandon their strengths and weaknesses to play a real wrestling match with this supreme god.
Immediately, following signs and eye contact, the second rank of the Sparta phalanx replaced the top rank, drawing their short swords and surrounding the Feathered Serpent God goddess who was charging at lightning speed.
"Oh dear, what a disobedient and naughty child! Are you ready to be disciplined?"
The tall, blonde, blue-eyed goddess laughed and leaped into the air, plummeting from a height of tens of meters.
At the moment of impact, a terrifying shockwave burst forth, instantly splitting the once tightly packed Sparta formation in the middle, scattering it into pieces.
As they screamed and flew into the air, the goddess, swift as lightning, grabbed them one by one and violently slammed them away.
"Out! Out! 97...98...99! Consecutive wins!"
Amidst the joyful cheers that echoed all around, nearly a week of Uruk's elite soldiers were thrown off the "ring," crashing into bricks and mud, and falling into a state of "death."
"...100..."
"Buzz!"
The one-armed general Tim gritted his teeth, and his body suddenly erupted with a golden light that seemed to become tangible. He drew a short sword from his waist and stabbed Feathered Serpent God's wrist from a tricky angle.
The final takedown, which was supposed to be performed on the goddess, unexpectedly missed as her right arm instinctively twitched.
However, in the instant the two figures passed each other, Tim, having nowhere to grab hold, immediately slammed into the ground at an even faster speed.
Feathered Serpent God's expression changed slightly. He was just about to turn back to the point of his fall and catch up with his prey, who was about to be shattered to pieces.
But in an instant, the blonde woman abruptly stopped her pursuit, gracefully landing to the side and watching with interest the smoke and dust billowing at the end of the street.
"Uncle Tim, grab him!"
At this moment, a crisp, sharp sound rang out, and a black chain lashed out from Anna's arm guard, wrapping around the waist of the South Gate officer and pulling him towards the allied forces rushing to their aid.
"Everyone... this is unforgivable!"
The Purple Haired Girl under the hood stared in astonishment at the Uruk soldiers lying all around her, her eyes blazing with fury.
"Anna, don't be impulsive!"
"Be careful, she's very strong! It's best if you all attack together!"
Tim immediately grabbed Anna's shoulder, pulling back the little girl who wanted to rush out for revenge, and gave her a serious warning.
Moments later, Samael, who had led Ishtar to join them, jumped off the Sky Ark Ma'anna.
The ancient snake glanced at the "corpses" scattered on the ground, then turned its gaze to the blonde woman standing in front of a set of steps, warming up, and asked helplessly.
"Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered Serpent God?"
In Classical Nahuatl, "Quetzalcoatl" means "bird with beautiful feathers" and "Koyatl" means "snake," so together it means "a serpent with feathers," hence the alternative name "Feathered Serpent God." In Mayan mythology, his name is "Quetzalcoatl."
In other words, Quetzalcoatl and Quetzalcoatl are both Divine Name the Feathered Serpent God in the Unknown Speech.
Similarly, "Ishtar" is the Akkadian Divine Name of the goddess next to her, whose more ancient name is "Inanna".
However, this cheerful and energetic older sister has quite a background; she is the goddess of the sun, learning, agriculture, and science in the Aztec mythology of the Mayan World.
Its origin is that of one of the four children of Ometeotl, the Creator God, who controlled the Great Sun Age. In terms of rank, it is comparable to King of Gods Zeus in the Greek World, and King of Gods Odin in the Norse World.
In the Mesopotamian world, her counterpart is King of Kings Marduk.
Even outside of the Sacred Land, and after undergoing the suppression of her spirit and status, she, as a God of War, is probably still more powerful than Ishtar.
If that silly goddess hadn't lost her cow, she might still have a chance to fight head-on.
However, in a one-on-one fight, everyone present would basically be knocked down if they were to engage in hand-to-hand combat with her.
Therefore, a direct assault is not feasible; a strategic approach is the only option.
At this moment, Feathered Serpent God, whom Samael considered a major problem, glanced at the more energetic and vibrant Uruk reinforcements, stretched his waist, and nodded happily.
"That's right! I've come all the way from the distant Mayan realm to wreak havoc on Uruk, you big sister!"
The goddess, whose destructive power rivals that of a large-scale air blaster, responds with one hand on her hip, raising her arm, seemingly showing off.
Still a little?
Samael glanced at the large, broken hole in the south gate and the nearly one hundred Uruk elites lying on the ground. His eyes twitched slightly as he asked the question that had been on his mind.
"I say, Sister Feathered Serpent God, according to the King's Thousand-Mile Eye, the Mayan world seems to have just experienced a great catastrophe, and there is a mess everywhere."
"You can't even manage this, how come you have time to project your will onto Mesopotamia and play some kind of land-conquest game with the other two goddesses?"
According to historical records, the current Mayan world is in the era of destruction of the Second Sun Age, which was ruled by the Feathered Serpent God Kukulkan.
Because the first child of the Mayan creator god, Tzcatlipoca Smoking Mirror, had an old grudge against Quetzalcoatl, he was looking for an opportunity to cause trouble.
Furthermore, as humanity progressed with the advancement of civilization, it gradually forgot its faith in the gods, Feathered Serpent God also began to fall into hibernation.
Therefore, Tzcatlipoca, a jaguar-shaped Smoking Mirror, stirred up a strong wind and destroyed the Second Sun Era while Quetzalcoatl was asleep.
The Feathered Serpent God, awakened by the shock, was enraged to find his kingdom and people gone. He burned down his palace and engaged in a fierce battle with the jaguar.
The outcome of the war between the two sides remains unknown, but these two sworn enemies have both disappeared without a trace.
Legend has it that in the future Fifth Sun Age, the Feathered Serpent God will return to guide his people.
Each of the three women in the alliance must have their own reason for coming here and participating in this hunting game.
For example, the Greek Gorgon the Beast Goddess, answered the call and descended here to establish her own faith, escape persecution, acquire divinity, and complete her revenge against humanity.
The Mesopotamian Underworld Goddess Ereshkigal, performed the descent of spirits because she had to fulfill her "destiny" to end this era, protect the souls of the old humans as much as possible, and thus usher in a new civilization.
However, after repeatedly studying the current mythology of the Mayan world, Samael found it difficult to understand the motivations behind the actions of the Feathered Serpent God.
As the ruler of the Mayan world who once ruled an era and was close to King of Kings Marduk, who could summon this great god without the summons of the Origin Mother Goddess Tiamat?
Moreover, as Good God, there is no need for him to abandon his homeland and get involved in this mess.
Under the ancient snake's earnest gaze, the blonde, blue-eyed older sister blushed slightly, covered her face with her hands, but her eyes peeked out from between her fingers, and her tone revealed a hint of shyness.
"Hey, cute little brother, the way you look at me is totally hitting my sweet spot, it's too much!"
Just a moment ago she was beating up a bunch of ladies and taking them down with her bare hands, but now she's putting on airs and acting all coy. This change is too fast, isn't it?
Also, you blush like a bubble teapot!
Anna, Ishtar, Merlin, Leonidas, and the others who arrived at the scene exchanged bewildered glances, their expressions strange, and they secretly grumbled to themselves.
Then, as if recalling something more interesting, the ruler of the Mayan world narrowed his green eyes, which peeked out from between his fingers.
"Moreover, you have a very pleasant scent, and I feel a strong connection with you."
"Well, if you're willing to marry me, I might consider switching sides!"
I agree!
A crisp and delighted response rang out from the ranks, and a slender, fair hand suddenly rose up.
The ancient snake stiffly turned its head, gritting its teeth as it looked toward the source of the sound.
"Merlin, you bastard, you tricked me!"
Facing the Feathered Serpent God excitedly took Samael's hand and raised it high, he smiled sheepishly, then turned back to the victim with an expression that seemed to be persuading a respectable woman to Lower Waters.
"Samael, since they've already said that, why don't you make a sacrifice for Uruk?"
"Don't worry, with me here, Wang will definitely agree!"
"Besides, with such a beautiful older sister, you're not at a disadvantage, are you?"
"Thank you so much!"
The ancient snake gave a sinister snort, wishing it could strangle this bastard on the spot.
Anna, who was grinding her teeth to the side, couldn't help but unleash her divine weapon, Hepal, almost as if she was about to swat the hairy succubus on the head.
"Forget it, I don't like forcing others, and doing so would be too childish."
Feathered Serpent God smiled and waved, interrupting the delivery service of the succubus's boyfriend.
The ancient snake, observing more closely, gradually hardened its expression, its inner guess now confirmed.
Does anyone remember what he originally wanted to ask?
Why did Feathered Serpent God descend upon Mesopotamia and join the hunt for humans?
Do you really think they're going to give you the absolute most?
Note! In the Mayan world, the Feathered Serpent God Kukulkan's main divine functions are related to the sun, learning, agriculture, and science! His power of war is not so prominent.
So, this goddess isn't some muscle-bound wrestling fanatic!
Haha, her so-called "marriage" was just a way to change the subject and avoid the initial question!
Clearly, the answer to the question was something she was very reluctant to reveal directly.
Even if you were to reveal it, you would have to rephrase it and conceal something.
What exactly is it that makes the chief god who ruled the Mayan world for an entire era so cryptic?
"Alright, since you've all been so enthusiastic, I'll answer your question now..."
As Feathered Serpent God, having gathered his thoughts, slowly opened his mouth with a smile, Samael couldn't help but listen intently.
"It was this world that called me here..."
"We have been given the mission of slaughtering humans and destroying Uruk."
"However, it's my prerogative to decide exactly what to do!"
"My strategy is to challenge 100 people every day, and once I've defeated them, I'm done."
"The expressions on people's faces when they live in fear are really interesting."
The will of Mesopotamia... calls you to destroy humanity? What a joke!
The ancient serpent found the answer somewhat unbelievable.
Before he could ask any further questions, Feathered Serpent God, having finished his warm-up exercises, jumped down from the steps, his eyes narrowed and his lips parted in a sinister, menacing grin.
"Hey, you guys interrupted my scoring? Now I'm still one point short."
"Well, let's just pick one from among you."
The expressions on everyone's faces changed drastically, and their wandering gazes, peeking through the gaps, finally settled on a certain person.
"You agree, right? You hate that I'm such a cute little brother who's so pleasing to the eye?"
In an instant, a terrifying pressure swept over, and the figure leaped up with a thud, causing a series of explosions in the air around him.
The fist, enveloped in golden Solar Godflame, magnified rapidly in Samael's pupils!
