The Supreme One of Heaven

Even if Erica possesses the Word of Golgotha to harm the gods, it would only be a minor injury, equivalent to the damage caused by a toothpick.

Trying to kill someone with a toothpick is less effective than using a fist of equal strength.

Those favored by fate, like Kusanagi Shizuka, can seize opportunities even with a toothpick in hand, and with the help of great luck, pierce vital parts such as the brain.

And if once isn't enough, there's a second, a third time.

In contrast, Erica is neither sure if she can seize that fleeting opportunity, nor does she have the good fortune of Kusanagi Shizuka.

To kill a god, only the full cooperation of the Judgment of Shamash is required.

If that's the case, wouldn't it be better for the Judgment of Shamash to transform into a little girl and start beating people up directly, rather than for you Erica, to fight with a weapon?

"Secondly, the reason I helped her become Campione! was not based on scheming, but simply on my own whim."

"Although I've only known Jinghua for a short time, I feel that she trusts and cares for me more deeply, and she's a very likable girl."

Ming Ge's words left her speechless.

Erica finds Ming Ge's claim that he wants Kusanagi Shizuka to become Campione! insane and can't believe it, but Kusanagi Shizuka trusts Ming Ge and is prepared to give it a try.

Even facing a formidable opponent, even knowing the possibility of death, she still agreed.

Erica is more independent than Kusanagi Shizuka. Even if Kusanagi Shizuka becomes Campione!, she will still rely on Ming Ge and listen to Ming Ge. Erica, however, may not be so.

Although Ming Ge is confident in handling Erica, from an emotional point of view, Ming Ge prefers Kusanagi Shizuka.

Ultimately, giving is mutual. Kusanagi Shizuka gave her feelings, Ming Ge gave her good fortune in return.

As for you, Erica?

Who are you? Don't try to talk nonsense with me.

"I see..."

Erica fell silent, her heart filled with complex emotions.

If it were Liliana, she would surely receive the same favor from Ming Ge as Kusanagi Shizuka.

Erica admits that they are not as simple as they are, and are more like traditional Western independent women.

In terms of excellence, she and Liliana are indeed neck and neck, but in terms of how much they are loved and cherished, Liliana is clearly more so.

It's normal for men to like relying on them, on creatures weaker than themselves.

Erica's personality is more like that of a lioness, and she is often compared to that herself.

For men, the sensation they feel towards her is more about 'conquering'.

She's not bad, it's just that Ming Ge and Ming Ge aren't the best match, and their relationship can't develop from the start.

With that in mind, Erica made a decision.

"Your Majesty, may I accompany you from here onward?"

Erica stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and said, "I, Erica Brantley, also pledge my loyalty to you."

"I gave my permission."

Ming Ge nodded, acknowledging her vow.

Ming Ge naturally knew Erica's purpose: she wanted to gain Ming Ge's favor, just like Kusanagi Shizuka.

Even if he fails to achieve his goal, swearing allegiance to Ming Ge is not a loss, because he represents the highest power and authority in the world, the Campione! —and there is more than one.

Although Salvatore Tony is the Sword King who leads the magic societies in Southern Europe and is revered as the leader by the magic societies in Milan, they have not actually sworn allegiance to him.

Not to mention that Erica was representing herself at this time, not the magic society.

Although the motives were impure, it can still be seen as a transaction in which Erica gained a powerful backer, Ming Ge gained Erica's loyalty, and was able to make some use of the magic society behind her.

Regardless of how things develop afterward, at least she gained the right to have close contact with Ming Ge.

As far as Erica's personal pride is concerned, she would never gain power by selling herself; if she were to truly win Ming Ge's favor, it would be because she had gained Ming Ge's approval.

It's straightforward enough, and it doesn't offend anyone.

Chapter 172 The Supreme Being of Heaven

"You're awake? Congratulations, you're now a mother of three."

In a daze, Kusanagi Shizuka regained consciousness and then heard this chilling statement.

Startled awake Kusanagi Shizuka patted herself all over, sensing the changes in her body, before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

"Phew... that scared me to death."

Kusanagi Shizuka stared at Ming Ge speechlessly and said, "Don't scare me like that. Suddenly having three extra kids makes me think I've been asleep for years."

"Is that what you care about!"

Erica, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but complain.

"Hmm... While I don't mind my master, I would prefer it to be when I'm conscious."

Upon hearing this, Kusanagi Shizuka became slightly shy.

"So, how do you feel?"

Ming Ge inquired.

"It feels... um, fantastic."

Kusanagi Shizuka was stunned for a moment, then clenched her fist, feeling an unprecedented power.

Forget about killing a cow, I feel like I could smash a mountain with just my fists.

"My mind is more active than ever before, and my physical condition is always at its best, completely different from my previous weak self."

After sensing it for a moment, Kusanagi Shizuka said, "Moreover, her body contains powerful energy. Both her magical and spell power have reached their peak. Any spell she uses can unleash the power to destroy mountains and seas."

"That's too powerful..."

Kusanagi Shizuka couldn't help but sigh.

After undergoing a qualitative change in her spiritual power and then the reincarnation ritual of Campione!, Kusanagi Shizuka essentially has two energy sources.
