Apollo is gay, he doesn't care whether someone is male or female, and he even likes to use tricks and schemes to get what he wants.

However... this is an opportunity, a chance to upgrade his weapon. Thinking of this, Li Yu couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. He nodded calmly to Hestia and said, "Okay, I'll go with you then. When is it?"

Hestia's eyes lit up with joy when she saw Li Yu agree. She chuckled and quickly said, "Three days from now. I'll call you then."

After saying that, Hestia ran off. After watching her leave, Li Yu pondered for a moment, then turned his gaze to Nangong Natsuki, who was teaching students, and waved to her, indicating that he had something to discuss with her.

Nangong Natsuki, who was giving a lecture, frowned and noticed the situation with Li Yu. She stopped lecturing, let everyone practice on their own, and then went over to Li Yu.

When Li Yu saw Nangong Natsuki arrive, he immediately walked to a secluded corner and stopped. He then activated his senses to make sure no one was nearby before looking at Nangong Natsuki.

Watching Li Yu's series of actions, Nangong Natsuki asked curiously, "Is there something you want to tell me? Why are you being so mysterious? What did Hestia say to you?"

In response to Nangong Natsuki's question, Li Yu slowly said, "Teacher Nangong, I wonder if you could cover for me if I were to kill a god?"

Upon hearing this, Nangong Natsuki was immediately filled with question marks. She looked at Li Yu strangely, her expression extremely odd. She asked with some doubt, "You want to kill Hestia?"

Her words left Li Yu speechless. He immediately put on a serious face and explained, "It's not Hestia, but I might kill a god next. I don't know if you can handle that?"

Seeing that Li Yu didn't seem to be joking, Nangong Natsuki Nayue's expression instantly turned serious. She asked, "What happened?"

Instead of directly answering Li Yu's question, she inquired about Li Yu reasons. She couldn't just kill a God without a cause, could she?

If that's the case, things will be complicated, since there's no legitimate reason for it, and it'll be difficult to handle.

"When I came back from the Dungeon, I felt someone watching me. If I'm not mistaken, it should be the gaze of a God. And just now, Hestia invited me to the Gods ' Party and specifically asked to see me." Li Yu recounted this series of events to Nangong Natsuki.

After listening to Li Yu's words, Nangong Natsuki fell into deep thought. After a moment, she calmly looked up at Li Yu and said, "It seems you're being watched, so you're worried that someone might do something to you and then you'll take action?"

These words made Nangong Natsuki understand Li Yu's thoughts. No wonder Li Yu asked her if she could handle it; if so...

"That's right, I have a feeling something's going to happen, but I don't like playing games with them. If I'm unhappy, I'll just take action. Besides, the sword in my hand needs the blood of a God to advance." How can one refuse prey that's delivered to their doorstep?

The corpse of God, the weapon needs to be upgraded. After a moment of contemplation, Nangong Natsuki whispered, "If you're going to make a move, don't do it in front of the Gods. You won't succeed that way."

Li Yu nodded. Of course he understood this, but he wouldn't be that foolish. If he really made a move in front of the Gods, Li Yu would be the one in trouble. After all, there would definitely be many adventurers present, and they would certainly try to stop Li Yu.

"If you kill the enemy, remember to take the body with you. I'll tell you how to activate the teleportation. Then you can activate the Magic Array between your eyebrows to go back directly, and the others will be teleported away with you." Nangong Natsuki continued, making a series of arrangements for Li Yu.

After saying this, she began to teach him on the spot, telling Li Yu how to activate the True Magic between his eyebrows. Her meaning was quite clear.

She will cover for Li Yu, but Li Yu and his companions cannot continue to adventure in this world. For Li Yu safety, they need to leave immediately and take the bodies with them.

The corpse of a god was worth the risk, especially since the truth was on Li Yu's side. They attacked first, forcing Li Yu to retaliate. And who knew they would be killed so easily?

Although he can no longer adventure in this world, it's not a big problem. It's just Dungeon; he can find the same thing back there. Killing a God and bringing him back is more beneficial than harmful. As long as Li Yu returns there, he will naturally be safe.

Even if they want to investigate, so what? Those bastards want to attack Li Yu, but they're not allowed to retaliate? My men were all sent back after being beaten. You need to give me an explanation for this, or you can expect war!

Therefore, in Nangong Natsuki's eyes, the god who was to be killed by Li Yu would die in vain, and the world would even have to pay a price. Otherwise, it would be a provocation and a disruption of our relationship. In that case, it would not be a peaceful connection, but a direct war.

God? Laughable! They've killed countless God in their world. Want to see our special God -hunting unit? I wonder how many divisions your God have?

As for whether Li Yu can succeed? She wasn't worried. The fact that Li Yu could say such a thing meant that Li Yu had a certain degree of confidence, otherwise he wouldn't have asked her if she could guarantee his success.

After teaching Li Yu how to activate the Magic Array, Nangong Natsuki quietly looked at him and said, "When you go to the party, I'll have them pack their things and then practice. If you can come back, then everything will be fine. If you can't, those who have already packed can be teleported away directly."

Li Yu nodded upon hearing this. That was perfect; there would be no worries... Well, not entirely. Li Yu thought of Bell Haruhime; there were two locals in the Familia.

"What about Bell and Haruhime? Should we bring them directly to our side?" Li Yu explained the situation of the two, to which Nangong Natsuki shook her head.

"Don't worry about them, including the locals like Hestia. You can just go ahead and do your thing." Nangong Natsuki already had a series of plans in mind. There were more than just them in this world.

Nangong Natsuki would never give up on these two promising talents, and she even wanted to bring them into her camp. After spending time together, she was very clear about their abilities, so she naturally wouldn't abandon them.

Seeing Nangong Natsuki's confident demeanor, Li Yu said nothing more, nodded, and left directly. Since there were no problems, Li Yu would go ahead and do it; Nangong Natsuki would handle the rest.

Thinking of Apollo's actions in the anime, Li Yu felt a chill. He wasn't Bell; if the other party really sent his subordinates to cause him trouble, Li Yu would kill them on the spot.

After saying goodbye to Nangong Natsuki, Li Yu returned to his room and continued reading the books of this world as if nothing had happened. Nangong Natsuki then found Yor and told Yor about what had happened.

After hearing Nangong Natsuki's explanation, Yor frowned and said, "Natsuki-chan, do you expect me to go and kill all those ill-intentioned people right now?"

In her opinion, trying to cause trouble for Li Yu was tantamount to courting death. Li Yu was the first student to give her a gift, and it was a gift that perfectly suited her tastes. Wasn't this just trying to make things difficult for her?

Hearing this guy's words, Nangong Natsuki rolled her eyes and then said, "No need. We can handle the aftermath after Li Yu leaves, and let them know that we're not easy to bully."

At this point, Nangong Natsuki's lips curled up slightly, and she continued, "We're supposed to be people here in this world for exchange, but the people of this world attacked us and even sent our people back. Don't you deserve an explanation?"

"Of course not!" This was Yor's only thought, and he also understood Nangong Natsuki's meaning, so he immediately said, "Then I'll go with Li Yu and the others, just in case something unexpected happens."

"Yes, that's what I mean. You can follow him secretly; there's no need to make a big fuss. You can teach him some things, though; he learns very quickly anyway." Nangong Natsuki nodded in satisfaction. It was good that Yor understood her meaning, and at the same time, she was giving him a reminder.

Yor possesses something that can help Li Yu, and given Li Yu's terrifying learning ability, it will only be a matter of time before he learns Yor's knowledge.

Hearing Nangong Natsuki say this, Yor nodded thoughtfully. That was indeed possible. Ordinary people might not be able to learn it, but Li Yu could definitely learn it. With that thought, Yor made his decision.

The two of them settled things in this way. Nangong Natsuki also used True Magic to contact some people and arrange everything before she went to continue teaching everyone True Magic.

Yor wasn't in a hurry. She returned to her post and continued to teach the students how to use weapons.

Asuna and the others felt something was off. What did Li Yu say to Nangong Natsuki? And why did he drag Yor along to discuss it? They were a little confused, but her intuition told her that something was about to happen.

Time flew by and it was afternoon. After Li Yu had dinner, Yor suddenly came to his door and said, "Li Yu, I have a very powerful technique here. Would you like to learn it?"

Upon hearing Yor's words, Li Yu's heart stirred, and he hurriedly said, "I learned it, I learned it, Teacher Yor, please!"

Seeing this, Yor smiled and said, "Okay, come with me. I'll teach you this, but it's a difficult move, so be prepared."

After saying that, she turned and walked outside. Li Yu hurriedly followed. Asuna, Kato Megumi, and the others exchanged glances, feeling a little strange. Was she giving them special treatment?

Asuna, in particular, felt even more confused. What had Li Yu and the teachers discussed that afternoon? And now they were even giving him extra help!

However, Asuna didn't ask any questions, nor did she intend to chase after them. The teacher was giving Li Yu some private tutoring, so they shouldn't disturb them.

If the teacher wanted to teach them, she probably would have already done so. She wouldn't have spoken to Li Yu separately; she would have told everyone directly. This clearly indicates that Li Yu was to be taught separately.

Following Yor outside, she didn't linger. Instead, she led Li Yu away from the camp and stopped in a secluded spot, where only the moonlight illuminated the surroundings.

Visibility wasn't too low, but for the two of them, it was like the weather had changed drastically. After stopping, Yor turned to Li Yu and said, "Li Yu, here, take this. Use this weapon when you need to make a move."

Suddenly, Yor took out an ordinary-looking knife and handed it to Li Yu. The style was very similar to the Li Yu had forged for Bell before, only this one was more plain.

Li Yu accepted the dagger from Yor with some doubt. The moment he held it, Li Yu felt its weight, and a chilling aura emanated from it. Holding it gave him the feeling that it could kill anything at any moment.

Looking at this weapon, Li Yu was somewhat shocked. Wasn't its quality a bit too high? It was even higher than the sword in Li Yu's hand. Only by bathing in Divine Blood could one probably reach such a quality.

Bathed in Divine Blood? Suddenly realizing this, Li Yu was startled. He looked at the weapon in his hand, then looked up at Yor and asked, "Teacher Yor, this dagger?"

"This is the Godslayer Blade, a weapon that has slain God. It is cursed; if God is struck by it, he will be unable to use his Divine Power," Yor explained the weapon's characteristics.

As expected... things were just as Li Yu had thought. This was a weapon used to kill gods. Looking at the dagger in her hand, Li Yu understood that Yor was protecting her.

"Thank you, Teacher Yor! I'll return it to you when I'm done." Li Yu didn't refuse. Although it was true that Apollo's power was sealed, he figured he would unleash it without hesitation if they faced a life-threatening situation.

With such a weapon, Apollo would be a lamb to the slaughter. This greatly boosted Li Yu's confidence, making him even more certain of defeating Apollo.

"Alright, just give it back to me when you're done. Next, I'll teach you a Martial Arts Martial Arts called Godslayer Blade. It might be a bit advanced, and you might have some difficulty using it, but I've observed that you are capable of using it." Yor began to get down to business.

Hearing this, Li Yu was somewhat surprised. Advanced Martial Arts? Thinking of this, Li Yu immediately said, "I learned Haruhime's True Magic today and improved it. Now I can cast it on myself."

Li Yu explained the matter, and Yor's eyes lit up immediately. She knew about Haruhime's True Magic, a very powerful support True Magic that could unconditionally raise First Tier.

"If that's the case, then there's no problem. Watch closely, I'll demonstrate it for you. This Martial Arts has the same name as the dagger, it's also called Godslayer Blade." As he said this, Yor took out the thin-bladed dagger that Li Yu had given him earlier.

The next moment, her demeanor underwent a complete transformation. If she was a gentle teacher just moments before, she was now a ruthless killer. Her eyes turned completely red, like two Ruby shining in the darkness.

Looking at Yor's condition, Li Yu's senses were screaming warnings: He's going to die! He's going to die! He's definitely going to die! The state Yor is in is extremely dangerous!!!

An unprecedented sense of crisis enveloped Li Yu's heart at that moment; it was a feeling he had never experienced before!

Sensing danger, Li Yu activated his innate talent for Kenkeiko, beginning a frenzied study session that lasted quite a while this time.

"Watch closely." Just as Li Yu was frantically learning with his talent, Yor's voice rang out. Although he still had that gentle demeanor, Yor's appearance was completely unrecognizable.

Li Yu's gaze was fixed on Yor. At that moment, Yor concentrated all his true True Qi into the dagger in his hand, and the dagger began to tremble. The next moment, Yor made his move.

With an unstoppable momentum, he launched an attack forward. In just a few moves, Li Yu felt as if he had died countless times. Yor's voice continued to ring out.

"Tempers, eyes, back of the head, neck, throat, cervical spine, heart—these are all weak points. Even gods are vulnerable. So every attack must be aimed at these areas, launched with unstoppable momentum. Even if it's blocked, it doesn't matter; just cut off the blocking arm as well." Yor kept demonstrating to Li Yu while explaining.

Every attack was aimed at vital points, using the fastest and most swift techniques. At this moment, Yor used his True Qi to its fullest extent, and Li Yu was also frantically learning all of this.

After she finished demonstrating, Yor turned his gaze to Li Yu, reverting to his original demeanor, and asked, "So, Li Yu, did you learn it?"

As she said this, there was a hint of anticipation in Yor voice. She genuinely hoped that Li Yu could thoroughly learn all her moves, because that would give Li Yu a greater chance of success in this operation.

Li Yu nodded upon hearing Yor's words. He had learned them and even mastered Yor's talent. At this moment, Li Yu was filled with shock. Yor's talent... was simply terrifyingly strong.

This woman was practically a monster. Li Yu even suspected that Yor had probably already killed a god, otherwise why would Yor be so skilled? She even had the weapon used to kill a god.

"Great! Then show me how well you've learned it!" Upon hearing Li Yu say that he had already learned it, Yor's eyes lit up. As expected of Li Yu, he learned it so quickly.

Upon hearing Yor's words, Li Yu took a deep breath, suppressed the strange thoughts in his mind, and then grasped the Godslayer Blade that Yor had given him. He began to gather all his True Qi and concentrate his mind.
