Authority: Karmic Retribution

Even the seemingly ordinary Kusanagi Shizuka, after possessing this destiny, can become a qualified fool.

And unlike Kusanagi Godou's hypocrisy, she was quite aware of her own feelings.

--That excitement of wanting to fight the enemy with all one's might!

Chapter 167 Power and Karmic Retribution

Mecar's body was enormous and very conspicuous, and he moved forward very quickly.

Furthermore, to avoid provoking Mecar's hostility, they could only lag behind by a certain distance.

By the time they arrived, Mecar was already fighting with Verethragna.

The residual force of their fight nearly overturned the car, but fortunately Ming Ge noticed it in advance and blocked the aftershocks.

"Arianna, stop! It's too dangerous to continue."

Erica said.

"I see."

Arianna stopped the car, and then the three of them got out. Arianna didn't have much fighting power, so she left immediately to avoid becoming cannon fodder.

What should we do next?

Erica looked at Ming Ge.

Although she was prepared to die and intervene in the battle between the two gods, she was not a fool.

She knew it was probably a waste of time, and besides, with someone taller to help, she naturally wanted to ask for their opinion.

"It's simple. I know a barrier magic that's enough to serve as a battlefield for those who defy the gods."

Ming Ge smiled and said, "That way, the innocent people on this island won't be harmed."

"What kind of barrier magic can serve as a battlefield for disobedient gods... Erica thought to herself."

However, considering Ming Ge's mysterious nature and Luo Hao's reputation, she couldn't help but feel a little more confident.

"Then—let's begin."

Ming Ge snapped his fingers and whispered, "Ultimate Barrier Magic: Starlight."

The stars expanded outwards, encompassing the power of the seven celestial bodies, and operated with Gaia at the core of the ritual.

In an instant, the entire world transformed.

Using stars to expand outwards, replacing the world, is a usage method created based on the prototype of the Realm of Boundaries.

The second stage of their special attack on the gods, along with the Starry Night created based on the God-Eater Jade, brought them to a desolate world where only seven stars shone in the sky.

Welcome to my world.

Ming Ge spread her arms and smiled.

"Is this a barrier???"

Erica stood there, stunned.

At this moment, Verethragna and Mecar also stopped what they were doing.

"It's you. Although my intuition told me you were a powerful warrior, I never imagined I had underestimated you."

Verethragna uttered words of praise, and excitedly said in a strange tone, "Very good, very good, can you inflict a defeat on me?"

"Humans, cease your presumptions!!"

Mecar then enveloped the three present with a raging divine power, causing Erica to turn pale.

Although Kusanagi Shizuka was affected for a moment, she looked at Ming Ge, gritted her teeth, and straightened her chest, and the influence of that divine pressure gradually weakened.

Erica, on the other hand, was stunned and stood frozen in place, her forehead covered in cold sweat.

"I'm entrusting Mecar to you."

Ming Ge spoke, she took flight.

He didn't bother with Erica either; after all, he had already deployed the Starry World, which was his domain, so he wouldn't let her be killed by the aftershocks.

"You've chosen me as your opponent? I'm truly delighted."

Verethragna also took off, and the two of them rose higher and higher until they became disconnected from the battlefield below.

"To be honest, this is the first time I've fought without using the Judgment of Shamash."

Ming Ge stared at Verethragna, clenching her fists.

If the body of Campione! is strengthened to the extreme, its potential fully exploited, and combined with the god-slaying ritual and powerful curses to form a body, then Ming Ge's structure is similar to that of a god.

As mentioned before, the gods who descend from mythology do not possess divine power of their own; rather, they require the power of the earth's veins to condense their bodies.

In other words, the Soul Materialization are very similar; both are bodies of energy.

An energy body can contain more power than a physical body, and its output far surpasses that of Campione!. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the power of gods is superior to that of Campione!.

Ming Ge also possesses this characteristic; although the quality of his magic has not yet been sublimated and does not reach the level of encountering gods in the Dungeon, it is more than sufficient compared to the disobedient gods. In fact, the two are on the same level.

"Bring it on."

Ming Ge took a step forward, traversing the distance of space to deliver a punch to Verethragna.

The clang of steel rang out as the Golden Sword appeared in Verethragna's hand, blocking Ming Ge's attack.

The two fought in the air, and although they were in human form, they were more free than birds.

The laws of physics were trampled upon, and the movements were almost entirely free of inertia. There was no doubt that both were martial artists at the pinnacle of the world.

Then— Ming Ge was suppressed.

"This is divine-level martial arts..."

Ming Ge whispered.

Although the two are on the same level in terms of physical condition, magical power, and output, in close combat, the opponent's martial arts skills surpass those of Luo Hao's Ming Ge.

Verethragna was the Persia god of war, the god of victory, and was known as the most skilled warrior.
