While everyone was busy, the storm came and went quickly.
The sky returned to its azure blue.
Everyone, annoyed, threw the things they were holding aside and went back to the small villa to lie down.
"Xiao, what are you looking at?"
"Nothing, I have to leave for a bit."
With that, Ye Xiao teleported away from the small island.
...
Sardinia.
Within the boundless sky.
Wild winds and heavy rain came from all directions, and lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the clouds.
But even in such conditions, two "people" were confronting each other.
One of them stood on the ground.
He was massive, and his muscles were very defined.
He held a "wooden stick" in each hand.
Confronting him was a young man, about fifteen or sixteen, standing in mid-air.
Compared to the giant, the young man had a very handsome appearance.
Similarly, the young man possessed an aura and majesty that someone his age should not have.
"Long time no see, Melqart."
"I've waited long enough! Veleslana."
Melqart, the God of Storms.
And Veleslana, the God of War from ancient Persia.
These two were Disobedient Gods born from myths.
And they were also old friends who had fought before.
As the two gods confronted each other, a blonde girl was standing on the roof of a car.
She was Erica Brantelli.
Affiliated with the Italian magical society "Bronze Black Cross," she held the rank of Great Knight and was known as the "Red Devil."
Inside the car, a maid was driving, and a young boy holding a stone tablet was seated.
Erica looked worried at this moment, because once a divine battle began, this small island would cease to exist.
No, she couldn't wait any longer.
"They absolutely cannot fight on this island!"
With that, she directly jumped from the car roof and ran towards the two gods.
"Reinhardt!"
(Cuore di Leone!)
The long sword in her hand transformed into a shield.
The scene returned to the battle of the gods.
"The old wounds you sustained when you were my enemy haven't healed, have they?"
"Hmph~ To awaken me at all costs just to fight me, how could I ignore such arrogance?"
"How exciting."
Veleslana sneered, then raised his right hand, and suddenly a great wind arose.
A giant goat and a phoenix appeared, then merged into the young man's body.
He was only missing one of his ten authorities.
"Then let's fight, Veleslana!"
"That's what I intended! Melqart!"
Their first round began, Melqart raised his divine artifact, the Exile, which represented lightning, while Veleslana drew his warrior's incarnation, the Golden Blade.
"Please wait!"
At this moment, a magic circle with red roses interrupted their spellcasting.
Erica arrived, holding a shield.
The two Disobedient Gods looked displeased at the blonde girl who had appeared before them.
"I have a presumptuous request, could you..."
Erica was interrupted by the two gods before she could finish.
"Human, this place has become a battlefield for gods, leave quickly!"
"Witch, your courage to defy a god is commendable!"
Veleslana and Melqart said in unison.
Erica still wanted to ask the gods for mercy, but before she could speak, lightning appeared.
Suddenly, lightning encircled Veleslana and Melqart.
The two spoke again simultaneously.
"This is a divine battle, mortals shall not trespass!"
"Your courage is admirable, but you should consider the current situation!"
As the two Disobedient Gods finished speaking, the lightning that had been circling them began to strike the girl in continuous bolts, forcing her to constantly jump and dodge.
The ground was also riddled with large craters from the lightning strikes.
Erica leaped into the air, and then a bolt of lightning struck.
Erica quickly used her shield to block, but in the next second, the shield was struck by lightning and flew out of her hand.
Before Erica could react, another bolt of lightning struck.
It's over.
As Erica looked at the lightningbolt almost upon her, this thought flashed through her mind.
Boom!
"Ah ah ah ah!!"
A scream came, and after a while, there was no more sound.
Veleslana looked at the person in the lightning with some disappointment; he didn't expect the fellow he chose to die like this.
However...
Veleslana and Melqart looked up at the sky simultaneously.
Compared to the deceased Kusanagi Godou, the fellow in the sky caught their interest.
In the sky, amidst the intertwining wind, rain, and thunder, a white-haired, red-eyed man wearing beach resort clothes and flip-flops stood in the air, holding Erica in a princess carry.
"Hello, both of you."
Ye Xiao greeted Veleslana and Melqart.
"An obstructer."
"An interesting fellow."
These were the evaluations of the two Disobedient Gods.
Erica, who felt no pain and instead warmth, opened her eyes.
What greeted her was a white-haired, red-eyed young man.
"Are you alright?"
"Uh... could you please put me down?"
"No problem."
With that, Ye Xiao flew down from the sky and put Erica down.
"Tha... thank you."
"It's nothing."
"Mm."
Ye Xiao looked at Erica's original position, and Erica also followed his gaze.
She was stunned.
Where she had been, having undergone the lightning's baptism, lay a charred corpse, and on the pitted ground nearby, only a stone tablet lay perfectly intact.
"Mr. Kusanagi!?"
Erica found it hard to believe but had to accept that the person she had spent the day with was dead.
Ye Xiao stroked his chin.
Kusanagi Godou, huh, the guy who used his ultimate as a basic attack.
The male protagonist of the original Godslayer actually died so carelessly under the lightning of an Disobedient God, truly unlucky.
However...
Ye Xiao crooked his finger, and the stone tablet came to his side.
It was the stone tablet that sealed Veleslana's White Horse and Prometheus's ability to steal.
In that case,
【Telos Karma!】
Ye Xiao also used the ability of "Ultimate Karma" to transfer Veleslana's White Horse and Prometheus's stealing ability to himself.
The stone tablet also dispersed with the wind.
"Hahahaha! An interesting fellow, an interesting divine artifact, to actually transfer my White Horse and Prometheus's stealing ability to himself."
"Hahaha! Interesting! Interesting!"
Veleslana, witnessing Ye Xiao destroy the stone tablet, laughed happily, having never encountered such an interesting thing before.
After Ye Xiao gained the abilities from the stone tablet, he said to Erica beside him,
"Miss, please run far away."
"Eh?"
Erica didn't understand Ye Xiao's meaning, but his next sentence made her tremble with fear.
"Because I am about to slay a god!"
