The God Slayer In The Anime World

He actually wanted to witness a street battle between the police and terrorists.

"Is it raining?"

After driving to the Ancient City, he got out of the car, and before Kaido could take a few steps, heavy rain began to fall.

The weather in Mexico City is inherently rainy, so a sudden downpour was quite normal.

Erica was beside him, holding an umbrella, and as they walked through the Ancient City in the rain, everyone's thoughts were different.

Because the Ancient City had been sealed off beforehand, apart from Kaido's group and the Magical Society staff, not a single tourist could be seen wandering nearby.

A city that once housed hundreds of thousands of people now had only a few dozen, which couldn't help but add a sense of loneliness to this ancient city of Teotihuacan, known as the "City of the Gods."

Speaking of which, the reason for the decline of this once glorious ancient city remains a mystery to this day.

No ancient written records exist.

Some believe that the city's decline was due to problems with its underground freshwater supply.

However, in this world where Gods of Disobedience roam, things might not be as simple as they seem at first glance.

"Where was the Divine Tool unearthed?"

He had been busy with the Miko's preparations and exchanging the Goddess's wisdom for the past few days, so Kaido hadn't asked for detailed information after hearing that the excavation was complete.

However, Kaido knew a lot about the myths and legends of this land of Mexico thanks to his daily studies.

Although this country's international reputation hasn't been very good in modern times, it is one of the cultural centers of the ancient indigenous peoples of America.

It once nurtured world civilizations such as the Olmec civilization, the Mixtec civilization, the Zapotec civilization, the Mayan civilization, and the Aztec civilization, with the latter even establishing the largest Aztec empire in pre-Columbian North America.

And this ancient city of Teotihuacan is the symbol of the Teotihuacan civilization.

The numerous civilizations also gave rise to a large number of different pantheons.

Furthermore, because all these pantheons originated from the same land, they all share certain commonalities.

Even if Kaido saw the real object, he wouldn't dare to guarantee that it was definitely a specific God.

However, in the Nahuatl language of the indigenous people, Teotihuacan is described as "the place where the Sun and Moon were created."

In Indian legends, the fourth Sun, worshipped by the people, stopped shining, and the Earth was plunged into darkness. When all living beings were on the brink of extinction, the gods of the universe heard the prayers of the Earth's inhabitants and lit a bonfire on the ground.

Then the bonfire extinguished again. To ensure that the Earth always saw light, the gods built the Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon. The gods decided who would be willing to jump into the fire to become the first Sun God.

Thus, the lowest-ranking god, Nanahuatzin, and the noble god, Tecciztecatl, became the god of the Sun and the god of the Moon, respectively.

In addition to the famous Pyramid of the Sun and Moon, the entire Ancient City also contains the "Temple of Quetzalcoatl" (Feathered Serpent).

What is the so-called "Feathered Serpent"?

"It was found beneath the altar of the Temple of the Feathered Serpent; it took us a lot of effort to find it," Liliana reported.

According to scholars and witches, the aura of the Divine Tool is related to the Feathered Serpent enshrined here, but it's unclear which civilization it belongs to.

Various Central American ethnic groups, the Mayan civilization, and the Aztec civilization have different names for the Feathered Serpent.

Confirming its identity is also a considerable challenge.

However, as long as it's confirmed to be the Feathered Serpent, there's no problem. We'll find out which one it is after summoning it.

Although it was a bit regrettable that it wasn't the Sun God or the Moon God, the Feathered Serpent was not an unknown minor God.

After the final day of preparations, the dawn of the second day arrived.

The sky was incredibly dark, with no moon visible, only a few stars emitting faint light.

The Feathered Serpent is a deity who presides over the morning star and symbolizes death and rebirth. In addition to offerings and Divine Tools, the timing of the summoning ritual is also very important.

The interior of the temple had a spacious area, perfect for the main ritual site.

Under the guidance of Alice, Yuri Mariya, and Kaido, engraved magic patterns and talismans were placed in their respective positions. Thirty-six witches or Mikos summoned from Italy and Japan took their places, kneeling with hands clasped in different directions, in prayer.

Princess Alice and Yuri Mariya had the most outstanding spiritual power talent, so they were placed in important positions, while Ena Seishuuin, Liliana, and Sayanomiya Kaoru, and other witches with weaker spiritual power, were distributed near them.

"Five more minutes," Kaido said, then looked at the center of the altar where the women were kneeling.

Amidst various magical materials, such as corn cobs, grimoire materials, earth, and feathers, a gray statue the size of a human head was placed there.

It was an ancient stone carving that exuded a divine aura, with a bird's head and tail and a long, serpentine body covered in feathers.

On the bird-headed stone statue, where the serpent god coiled, several lines of hieroglyphs were carved.

A serpent's body with a bird's head and a pair of wings on its back is the common image of the Feathered Serpent.

"Begin," Kaido said calmly.

Upon hearing this, all the Mikos and Witches felt a sudden tension in their hearts, then closed their eyes tightly, activating their spiritual vision.

Their consciousness left their bodies and traveled to the Underworld, searching for information recorded in the realm of life and death.

Although many Mikos were filled with apprehension, since Kaido had guaranteed their safety, they could only bite the bullet and chant the incantations.

"The Feathered Serpent has hundreds, even thousands, of different myths."

"The Feathered Serpent of the Central American peoples is the deity who brings the rainy season, a benevolent god associated with planting and harvesting."

In Mayan mythology, it is called Kukulkan; the K'iche' Maya call it Q'uq'umatz; the Aztecs call it Quetzalcoatl. In earlier myths, it also had other divine names.

"You rule the morning star, you invented books and laws, and you brought corn to humanity. Although you are imported, you are the most revered deity of the Mayan farmers."

"You are also death and rebirth, the guardian God of sacrifice."

"In Tula, the houses stand solemn. Here, the serpentine columns still stand, lonely. He has departed, Topiltzin. Our Prince, we weep for you!"

"You will cry, you will be tolerant and compassionate, you will be compassionate, you will think of death and return to childhood."

As the prayer was chanted, the Mikos, through the Underworld, described the essence of the Feathered Serpent through language, as they perceived it.

As Kaido had previously guessed, the being did not possess a singular divinity of the Feathered Serpent, but was a Feathered Serpent that integrated multiple myths.

The Miko's Word Magic was building a bridge between the human and divine realms.

The Heretic God of the Feathered Serpent was about to appear.

"Rumble—!"

The deafening thunder was incessant, and pale lightning roared like silver serpents in the clouds.

The sky, which had been silent, was again covered in dark clouds, and torrential rain fell like a river.

A bridge had been successfully built between the human and divine realms, and the energy of the divine realm was condensing into form in the human world.

The Feathered Serpent responded to the Miko's call; although there was still no specific will, its inherent divinity interfered with Mexico City's weather.

He was a God who brought rain to humanity, and rain was destined to fall wherever He went.

"He's coming."

Kaido and Erica were near the ritual site, both clearly feeling the immense magical power permeating and condensing around them.

"Kaido..."

The imposing Erica instinctively grabbed Kaido's right hand; the familiar warmth emanating from his palm lessened her fear of the Heretic Gods.

Although she was no longer as nervous as when she first saw Typhon, humanity's fear of Heretic Gods was innate. Even with the courage to take up arms and fight them, the trembling dread of a god could not be completely eliminated.

"Don't worry, I'm here."

The black-haired young man responded to the girl's trust.

Erica would only turn sixteen next year; being able to accompany him like this and witness firsthand the descent of a Heretic God was already a noble quality that most people in the world could hardly possess.

Hearing his voice, Erica nodded softly.

At the same time, in a place Kaido couldn't see, she secretly disdained her own weakness.

To continue acting so poorly after experiencing so many events was truly a disgrace to the reputation of the "Scarlet Devil."

Furthermore, in the summoning ritual, because her witch bloodline was too weak, she couldn't contribute to Kaido's summoning ritual.

She could only serve as an ordinary knight, preventing others from interrupting and invading the ritual site.

The magical power grew stronger and stronger, and the Mikos, led by Alice and Yuri Mariya, had beads of sweat appearing on their foreheads; their faces were pale, and their delicate bodies trembled slightly.

Some Mikos with relatively weaker spiritual power even showed signs of pain.

This was a manifestation of the magical power and spiritual vision beginning to backfire; although witches possessed the ability to predict the future, prolonged high-intensity spiritual vision would consume a lot of energy and physical strength.

Moreover, when a Heretic God descended, the Mikos, as summoning priestesses, had to bear a portion of the God's will.

Many Mikos died tragically during this process, unable to bear the mental pressure.

Kaido extended his hand in time, activating his magical power, to help these Mikos he had brought to share the pressure of the Heretic Gods' descent.

Because he had reserved a spot to insert himself into the ritual, when Kaido participated, it was as if he could feel the consciousness of each Miko.

At the same time, he also felt an enormous will slowly descending.

He revealed a slightly excited smile.

The Godslayer's physique once again had a stress reaction due to the descent of a Heretic God.

As the ritual moved towards its end, the Miko's role had been minimized.

Thunder rumbled in the sky, and the Mikos in the ritual successively exhausted their magical power and collapsed.

Although the situation didn't look very good, compared to death, being alive was already the best outcome.

"King, is the ritual... complete?"

Alice was the first to wake up. Although she was physically weak, she had already received the blessing of youth, so she still retained magical power.

Seeing Kaido standing alone in the center of the altar, she spoke with concern.

"You did very well." Kaido smiled and nodded: "But now is not the time for chatting. Those who can still move, help the others up. The following matters are no longer something you can interfere with."

"Understood."

Liliana and Ena Seishuuin, who also woke up, nodded.

They quickly moved the unconscious Mikos to the vehicles outside and drove away into the distance.

"King, please be careful. We will prepare a feast to await your triumphant return."

After expressing her concern, Erica also left in a vehicle.

From the car window, she saw the dark clouds swirling over the temple like a vortex. After silently sighing, her gaze transformed into one of determination.

*Thump, thump, thump!*

Shortly after moving away from the ancient city, the expanding magical power transformed into considerable pressure, enveloping the entire city like mercury. Every raindrop seemed to be charged with powerful potential energy.

That was the magical power of the Heretic Gods, the divine power of the Feathered Serpent.

The earth trembled and groaned at the god's descent, and the sky and atmosphere shook incessantly.

An invisible magical power condensed in the sky, shedding its false disguise, and amidst the roar of thunder, a giant winged serpent shadow appeared over the land.

Finally, a colossal creature appeared in the sky.

A God who had deviated from myth and acquired a physical form on Earth.

The Feathered Serpent's body was immense; Kaido estimated it to be at least two hundred meters long. At the ends of its robust body, one housed a bird's head with crimson eyes, and the other, a thick bird-like tail.

Just like the Heretic God Leviathan that appeared on Nikko Mountain at that time, the Feathered Serpent now descending upon the ancient city, with its shining golden feathers, its elegantly perfect serpent body, and its noble bird's head, fully embodies the beauty of violence and nobility.

"Another serpent?"

Kaido chuckled, and the magical power within him seemed to explode uncontrollably.
