The Demon King's Name, Consecrated with the God King's Blood
"They actually improved? Ha..."
Muneyoshi thought he had already won the match, but he didn't expect Zeus to give him another surprise. 🐸👊 ♞💲
"Since that's the case, then let me see what else you've got up your sleeve!"
Swish!
Muneyoshi tossed the ball with a flick of his wrist, then brought his racket down with a crisp, sharp motion.
Bang!
With his swing, "Saeki Muneyoshi" took a step and leaped into the air, soaring into the God King's arena, and the air around Muneyoshi's racket vibrated.
This shot was even more powerful than the previous ones.
Faced with Muneyoshi's powerful attack, Zeus did not dodge or pause this time.
The God King behind him blocked "Saeki Muneyoshi's" attack with a single spear thrust, and then the white light traveling through the stadium was finally detected by Zeus.
"The wrath of the God King will annihilate all the gods!"
A high-pitched voice came from Zeus's mouth, and the thunderous spear that resounded through the sky instantly shattered the white light that Light-Dark Fusion, causing the tennis ball to bounce back.
"Lord Zeus caught it!"
Gaelos was overjoyed. Faced with the seemingly unsolvable attack from the Japan Team's Saeki Muneyoshi, their Zeus had finally responded.
The blue-green lightning pierced Muneyoshi's half of the court like a spear.
This shot was far more dangerous than Sanada's Moving like Thunder. Zeus, now fully fused with the God King, had reached the pinnacle of power, spin, and penetrating force.
"Zeus, you, the God King, are all the more worthy of my beheading, light!"
On the other side of the field, seeing Zeus's terrifyingly powerful move, Saeki Muneyoshi's eyes grew increasingly satisfied.
As Zeus swung his paddle, he leaned forward, took a step, pulled his right arm back, twisted his body suddenly, and a thunderous sound rang out from the palm of his left hand.
Stage Two Shining Shot.
Sizzle...
A flash of lightning illuminated Saeki Muneyoshi's brown eyes, reflecting a dazzling golden light that flickered like a golden flame, rising and falling in the pitch-black space.
Bang!
Facing the incoming ball, the black and red-rimmed racket swung fiercely against the thunderous spear.
With a loud bang, people around the stadium felt their eardrums vibrate slightly.
Then the thunder and golden light completely disappeared, and the tennis ball vanished again. 👮🎈 ♘🐟
"Tennis is... here..."
Zeus's rapidly flashing eyes suddenly fixed on the ball, but by the time he raised his arm to swing the racket down, it was already too late.
Thump!
A large crater was left in the ground, and then spiderweb-like cracks appeared again on the wall behind Zeus.
"Game! Japan Team's Saeki Muneyoshi scores, score 3-0."
"Sure enough, not only am I improving, but he has also become much stronger."
Zeus stared intently at Saeki Muneyoshi's movements. The God King behind him was filled with majesty, and his face, which was usually warm and sunny, became extremely serious and solemn.
However, despite feeling a sense of frustration, a strong fighting spirit rose within him.
Bang!
With a powerful and forceful strike, Zeus quickly accelerated, and having relinquished his omniscience and omnipotence, his style became even more unrestrained.
However, the pale golden field remained. Although it could not invade Saeki Muneyoshi's half of the field, the radiance unique to the God King filled his own half.
This effect achieves the same result as Muneyoshi's Black Domain, and the effect is similar to that of Muneyoshi's.
It's an excellent way to defend and counter-attack, waiting for opportunities.
Having realized this, Muneyoshi began to take action.
He had considered his own style of coping for a long time, but had never had the opportunity to try it out.
Today, Zeus has provided him with a perfect example.
Saeki Muneyoshi suddenly stopped running, shifting his weight from side to side, and quietly pulled his racket behind his back.
The dazzling golden light on his side of the field has long since faded.
Instead, Dark Wave of constant churning and twisting arose.
"Falling Bright!"
Muneyoshi gave a soft shout, and the moment the tennis ball entered the net, it was as if he had entered a constantly expanding dark cloud.
The lightning of the God King's Punishment did not last long before it was directly replaced by purplish-black Glowing Flame.
Bang!
A ring of purplish-black, Glowing Flame -like airflow suddenly appeared on the surface of the racket, the black airflow surging and seemingly distorting the air itself.
The light and darkness, both having entered the Stage Two, unleashed tremendous power at this moment!
A sharp whistling sound rang out, and the tennis ball trailed a terrifying black ribbon of light, within which countless negative emotions whispered incessantly. ඏ🍧 ☺👮
When the tennis ball, shrouded in darkness, flew into Zeus's half of the court, it was like a drop of water falling into a pot of hot oil, quickly colliding fiercely with Zeus's God King Domain.
The powerful Darkness Light tore a non-existent vacuum zone directly into the golden domain of Zeus's half of the arena.
The realm that Zeus had reassembled has been damaged once again.
The God King Domain is no longer perfect.
Zeus's face paled, but there was no sign of backing down in his azure eyes; he knew this shot was crucial.
With an indomitable spirit on his face, Zeus strode forward, and the God King behind him followed suit.
The next moment, Zeus's body directly blocked the falling light, and the golden radiance of the God King and the lightning of the God King's spear surged towards the racket in his hand.
The God King behind him also thrust his spear forward.
Boom!
Zeus swung his racket forward, and the intensely golden light, like a thunderous spear, instantly collided with the dark mass of energy.
The tennis ball, stimulated, instantly grew to Gigantification, and terrifying pressure enveloped Zeus.
"Saeki Muneyoshi, you want to kill a god? You're dreaming! Go back here!"
Under extreme pressure, a flush appeared on Zeus's originally pale face.
The God King Zeus behind him became increasingly real, and with the surge of Zeus's spiritual power, a crown woven from olive branches adorned His head.
Following Zeus's lead, the God King also let out a roar.
A thunderous roar!
The enormous and terrifying cloud of darkness was pierced by the spear of the God King, all darkness vanished, and the tennis ball transformed into a terrifying Light Ball, a convergence of thunder, within Zeus's net.
Lightning raged, and the God King's Punishment pressed down on Saeki Muneyoshi's body with unstoppable force.
"Zeus!!"
"Zeus, the God King!!"
On the Greece Team side, all the spectators were stunned, but then a burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted.
Their God King has once again gained the upper hand.
"Good!!!"
A loud shout came from the Japan Team's half, instantly silencing the noisy stadium.
Looking at the terrifying Light Ball of lightning crashing down on him, and feeling the overwhelming pressure of the cheers surrounding him, Muneyoshi showed no sign of panic.
"What a pity, it's too slow!"
Saeki Muneyoshi's voice was so powerful that even thunderous applause and cheers from the stadium couldn't drown him out.
"Use your God King blood to atone for the name of the Demon King!"
"Light Darkness Absolute Slash!"
Saeki Muneyoshi held his breath, stomped his foot backward, and the figure behind him did the same.
The racket rises, the blade points to the moon.
Darkness descends, moonlight spills forth.
Within the Different Dimension field, the rolling moonlight poured down, and "Saeki Muneyoshi's" figure grew enormous. The katana in his hand merged into his body and disappeared, and a shadow resembling a lunar eclipse appeared behind his head.
A clear, loud bang echoed across the stadium.
Bang!
Moonlight intertwines with light and darkness.
As Muneyoshi swung his racket, the silver-white figure behind him, wielding a sword in both hands, twisted the sword behind him, and gently floated up, as if gathering power.
The eclipse halo behind his head also transformed into a stream of light, enveloping the tennis ball.
The tennis ball in my line of sight suddenly expanded.
With a single swing, the sword flashed, and it seemed as if only a dazzling blade of light remained in the world.
The flames and shockwaves pierced through everything that blocked their path.
Night descends, moonlight fills the sky, divine light emanates from the air, and the blade slays the God King.
The black and red racket swept through the air.
The entire stadium seemed to have been cleaved in two; the enormous figure of the God King was split in two by Muneyoshi's strike.
Golden blood seemed to stain the entire spiritual field.
"G... Game, Japan Team, 5-2."
Even the most experienced referee was speechless when he saw the long mark on the field.
"Lord Zeus..."
The Greece Team was utterly astonished; they never imagined that their own God King would be cleaved in two by Saeki Muneyoshi.
Zeus stood pale-faced on the field, the God King, whose spirit and will were shattered by Muneyoshi's single strike.
Such psychological trauma cannot be healed in just one or two months.
His left hand gripped his right wrist tightly, and the net on his racket had completely disappeared, leaving only the empty frame.
"Such a move, a perfect fusion of light and darkness in a slash..."
Upon realizing this, Zeus's vigorous fighting spirit instantly waned, and he foresaw the outcome of his match.
Twenty minutes later.
The crowd around the clay court fell silent.
Here they witnessed Zeus's true coronation as "God King".
But in the end, this coronation ceremony degenerated into a ceremony to crown the "Demon King".
"Game, Japan Team's Saeki Muneyoshi wins, score 6-3."
"The singles match has ended, with Japan Team's Saeki Muneyoshi winning two out of three games, 2-6, 6-4, 6-3, for a total score of 2-1."
P. S.: "Please vote with monthly tickets~ A summary is at the end."
The match against the Greece Team Zeus has ended. Let me explain why I'm describing this match in such detail.
If you've read the new comic, you'll know that the Greece Team is only briefly mentioned, serving as a transitional plot point. This gave me a lot of room to elaborate. Furthermore, the combination of Mars and Sedah from the Spain team in the latest comic also confirms Zeus's impressive presence.
Sedah, a middle school student, was able to hypnotize almost everyone on the field, including Oni Jūjirō and Irie Kanata. The rest of the Japan Team, including Ryoma, were also hypnotized, as were the rest of the Greece Team except for Zeus.
This indirectly shows that Zeus's spiritual level actually surpasses that of most people, at least not weaker than Sedah. He simply appeared early and was glossed over; his true strength is not as simple as one might think.
On a side note, isn't Sedah's appearance inspired by Kakashi from Naruto? The mask, the white hair, the ability to copy other people's skills with a single glance, and the hypnotic Sharingan—it seems like a perfect match.
There's also a little Easter egg: in English spelling, Sedah spelled backwards is Hades, and we can also learn from Zeus that Hades is Sedah's original name.
Zeus and Hades were inherently enemies.
Furthermore, in the doubles match between Japan and Spain, although Japan has already won one set and is now up 5-0 in the second set, Japan hasn't even made a single move yet, so Mars 're bound to lose.
I've run out of drafts, so only four chapters today~
