The God Slayer In The Anime World

Chapter 72: Confrontation



"Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent god!"

Among the many myths, this is the most widespread name. The Feathered Serpent God's divinity is similar to Athena's, and it's highly probable that Quetzalcoatl is its primary name.

Thinking of this, Kaido couldn't help but recall a certain mobile game's expressive goddess.

He wondered if this Feathered Serpent was male or female.

Hearing this sound, the Feathered Serpent's enormous bird head slowly looked down at the earth. The instant its crimson eyes fixed on him, Kaido felt his blood momentarily stall.

Although the Feathered Serpent was neither the creator god nor the King God of any particular pantheon, its divine name was widely known and countless legends surrounded it.

Like many deities, the feathered serpent Quetzalcoatl had many incarnations.

He was considered the God of Rain, thus connected to the sky and, therefore, possessed the divinity of the God of the Sky. He was also described as the God of Wind, holding the sky with his hands, blocking the clouds, and sending rain upon the arid lower world.

"Was it you who summoned me? Filthy Earth Demon King."

The Feathered Serpent God's voice was like thunder. Kaido seemed to hear its sigh, and then, countless pale lightning bolts instantly struck.

The Feathered Serpent let out a divine sigh, as if in mourning, or perhaps vengeance.

Thousands of meters above the ground, the Feathered Serpent raised its enormous head, and in that instant, tens of thousands of pale lightning bolts descended from the sky and struck the earth.

In myths recorded by various Central American peoples, He was originally the God of the Sky.

In some civilized myths, he was even the Sun God who brought light to the world.

Kaido was unfazed by the Feathered Serpent's sudden attack. He had been prepared since the ritual's inception, and his entire body, flesh and bones included, was excited by the encounter with a God of Disobedience.

"The strength of metal overcomes wood, and the iron-hearted monkey tames the wooden dragon!"

As he chanted a new Word Magic, a massive surge of Cursed Energy suddenly erupted from Kaido's body.

The authority of the [Iron Body] of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven was instantly activated. The power of the Spirit of the Word, overflowing with Cursed Energy, converged throughout Ling Yun's entire body. Every inch of his flesh and bone underwent a drastic transformation, becoming hard, rigid, and indestructible.

When the Great Sage Equal to Heaven was captured by the immortals, he was subjected to various tortures on the execution platform.

Among them, the God of Thunder and the Mother of Lightning continuously bombarded his body with lightning.

Although not complete immunity, the effect of the descending lightning was compressed to its limit.

"Spear of Twilight!"

Upon the call, a silver spear clung to his hand. The sharp tip, with its god-slaying power, split the descending lightning in two.

"You're not as verbose as other gods, but that suits me perfectly. Feathered Serpent of Central America, I will kill you right here today!"

Kaido shouted and laughed heartily, his legs slightly bent, gathering strength. In an instant, his entire body shot up from the ground like a cannonball with a bang, leaving a long white trail in the torrential rain.

The ground where he stood instantly shattered and collapsed, forming a crater tens of meters in diameter.

A Godslayer is a human whose heart is filled with an abnormal sense of belligerence and fanaticism when confronting a Heretic God.

With the double protection of [Iron Body] and Magic Energy, Kaido, who erupted with borrowed strength, roared as he approached.

The shining tip of the Sacred Spear transformed into a cunning venomous snake, charging directly towards the Feathered Serpent's head with a divine speed that surpassed ordinary humans.

Even though it possessed a body hundreds of meters long, as long as it was pierced by the Sacred Spear, it would surely be wounded and would surely bleed.

And the Feathered Serpent also noticed the movement below. Although the size difference was quite significant, it would not underestimate a Godslayer.

A thick tail swung, unleashing a fierce storm. "Boom!"

Kaido, unable to leverage his power at high speed, collided violently with the Feathered Serpent's thick tail. A terrifying shockwave instantly erupted, dispersing the surrounding rain and distorting the lightning into arcs.

Originally, the Feathered Serpent thought that even if this blow didn't injure the opponent, it would at least be an even match.

However, the moment the spear tip collided with its body, the Feathered Serpent God instantly felt that something was wrong.

The silver spear tip pierced through the Heretic God's Magic Energy defense, and its thick serpentine body was impaled by the spear tip.

And Kaido, not one to let an advantage slip, immediately pressed the spear shaft with force after feeling the penetration. As he moved, the spear's silver tip sliced off a large section of the Feathered Serpent's skin, and abundant boiling blood gushed from the wound.

A tearing pain transmitted to the Feathered Serpent God's brain. Although the multi-meter wound was insignificant given its size, the intense pain was incredibly stimulating.

After a brief strike, Kaido activated the ability of a Balance Breaker variant, instantly disappearing from his original location.

The next second, broad wings covered the sky, obscuring him.

"[King God's Seat]!"

The usurped authority of Melqart was added to his body, and Kaido's strength and speed increased once again.

The versatility of this authority is very low, but when Kaido faces an enemy with dragon or snake attributes, it will make Kaido's body, mind, and will more resolute, like the Steel Hero who slays dragons and serpents in myths.

And one move can even amplify the opponent's dragon or snake attributes, magnifying the deeds and influence of "dragon-slaying heroes" in their minds, making them believe that their fate is only to be obediently killed.

Kaido's figure transformed into a meteor. Against an enemy of this size, common martial arts were ineffective, so Kaido entrusted everything to the Godslayer's combat instincts to attack.

Even with its enormous body, there was nowhere to hide if it wanted to dodge.

Kaido's will resonated with the Sacred Spear, and his dizzying divine speed transformed into a thunderous cut that roared.

However, after several attempts to attack the heavily guarded head proved fruitless, he decisively turned to attack the Feathered Serpent's body.

The sharp spear tip cut through Quetzalcoatl's skin. The tip, bathed in sacred blood, was sharper than any weapon.

Kaido's Magic Energy and the Feathered Serpent's Cursed Energy canceled each other out, and what followed was the collision of weapon and flesh.

"Pfft—!"

Hot blood boiled, raising a cloud of red blood mist and an acrid smell everywhere.

The Serpent let out a piercing, shocking roar.

It carried Kaido, who still clung to its body, and flew ceaselessly higher into the sky. The massive Serpent God stirred the dark clouds, allowing those below to see the light of dawn bloom for an instant.

Then, in an instant, it was again covered by dark clouds.

The Feathered Serpent flew continuously higher into the sky, reaching an area of thin air, then the repulsive force expanding from its body expelled Kaido.

The sky was its home. After all, a Godslayer was a human who lived on land, and fighting at heights beyond the clouds was advantageous to it.

*Do you want to exhaust me? But be careful, lest I kill myself.*

After flying high into the sky, Kaido tried to sense his surroundings.

It was cold, humid, and the air was thin; it was not a place where a human like him could stay.

If he were a Godslayer who couldn't fly, he would probably be in trouble now.

However, for Kaido, flying was as simple as eating and drinking; the only problem was the lack of solid ground to stand on, which prevented him from using the terrain to his advantage.

"[Balance Breaker]!"

To end the battle quickly, Kaido no longer held back. After all, prolonging it would be a disadvantage for him, so he once again wielded the Sacred Spear and charged towards the Feathered Serpent's vital point.

And at that precise instant, just as the Feathered Serpent was about to launch an attack, it was drenched from head to toe by a large amount of seawater. The cold sensation and taste confirmed that it was indeed seawater.

"Guardian of the Sea" was one of Kaido's weakest authorities, but using it at this moment had the effect of making the Feathered Serpent freeze.

Kaido seized this opportunity to continuously move his hands, leaving countless wounds on its body.

There isn't actually a huge gap between Godslayers and Heretic Gods.

There are weak Godslayers, and there are also weak Heretic Gods.

Although the Feathered Serpent was a very famous deity in Central America, Kaido, who had been fighting it so far, didn't feel it was particularly powerful.

He completely dominated it.

However, on second thought, it was quite normal for the Feathered Serpent to be completely baffled by him.

On one hand, the authorities he had previously acquired were enough to give Kaido a decisive advantage in all aspects.

Although a Godslayer's power cannot be judged by the quantity of authorities, having more authorities means more moves and techniques in battle.

On the other hand, the Feathered Serpent's body was simply too large. Its divine power was equal to Kaido's, but the size difference between them was hundreds of times greater. Kaido was as small as a fly in its eyes.

However, if this "fly" could kill a God, then it would be quite terrifying.

Kaido's previous series of fierce attacks had left the Feathered Serpent completely defenseless, and blood flowed like columns from its enormous serpentine body. However, its healing ability was also quite terrifying. Through muscle compression and divine power, the wounds, which had bled enough to fill more than a dozen swimming pools, healed.

But a God is a God after all. The Feathered Serpent quickly guessed the disparity in their sizes and, thus, amidst a series of incomprehensible divine words, its two-hundred-meter-long body rapidly shrunk.

The Feathered Serpent's figure disappeared, replaced by a creature with a bird's head and a human body.

Its body was extremely strong, with bronzed muscles that possessed the lines dreamed of by every athlete and bodybuilder. Just looking at it confirmed its immense power.

Its attire was also quite ancient; it wore a set of resplendent and luxurious feathered robes, held a golden staff engraved with the design of the Feathered Serpent, and was adorned with costly gold and silver jewelry on its fingers and neck. Its bird's head was crowned by a broom-like feathered hat.

The God, now in human form, opened its bird beak, its red eyes fixed on Kaido: "I will wash away the shame of your previous offense against a God!"

Intense anger was suppressed in its words.

Kaido even saw a human cruelty in those bird eyes.

In mythological stories, although the Feathered Serpent was recorded as a benevolent deity in Mayan mythology, in other versions of the myths, it was actually a deity who enjoyed human sacrifices and had an explosive, easily angered temper.

And such a Feathered Serpent, contrary to mythology, should not be expected to kindly accept a challenge.

Aside from Athena and a few other Heretic Gods, Kaido had never seen a deity who could casually converse with a Godslayer.

---

Rumble—!

Lightning echoed with the wind and rain. The Feathered Serpent stepped on invisible wind currents and instantly appeared before Kaido.

"Clang—!"

The golden staff collided with the Sacred Spear. The oppressive wind pressure ruffled Kaido's hair, instantly transforming his image from a polite black-haired young man into the wild and untamed Benimaru Nikaido.

Because he was the God of Wind who held the sky with his hands, every attack from the Serpent God carried an increasing wind pressure.

The Feathered Serpent God, transformed into human form, was able to maintain Ling Yun's speed thanks to the speed of his divinity, the God of Wind. Their weapons clashed against each other, producing hundreds of thousands of collisions in a matter of seconds.

"Even if you are a Godslayer of the earth, you must honor the rules. Without the sun, the world will fall into darkness, and I will bring you eternal light."

Since he had a bird's head, Kaido couldn't see what expression was on his face.

However, then he felt divine power gathering, and the Serpent God's body, dressed in luxurious feathered robes, began to burn like a bonfire.

"What kind of strange move is this?"

Kaido quickly retreated after disengaging from the attack. Heretic Gods were, after all, troublesome individuals. If he carelessly underestimated the enemy, even he could suffer a setback.

"You are also human, but you are a sinner who rebelled against a God."

The next second, an intense light burst from the Feathered Serpent's body.

A brilliant, dazzling divine light pierced through the air, the earth, and even the world.

Kaido felt as if a sun suddenly appeared before his eyes. The intense light scorched his retinas, causing temporary blindness.

*This was a bloody solar flare!*

Not only that, that strong light, which pierced through the clouds, spread directly to the invisible horizon, illuminating most of Central America and instantly enveloping the dark land before dawn.

This sudden change woke people from their sleep. They looked out their windows at the outside world, which glowed like daytime.

In the extreme distance, invisible to the human eye, a golden light source bloomed like the sun, emitting an intensely warm light, while the sky was covered in dark, dark clouds. The light split the sky and earth into two worlds.

It was a wonderful, dreamlike scene.

Not only that, people sleeping in tall buildings also saw a gigantic phantom moving on the ground.

Amidst the panic...

"What the hell is going on!?"

"This... this is the Serpent God descending!"

"Great Feathered Serpent, I am your most devout believer!"

"Oh my God, has a nuclear war broken out?"

There were people who didn't understand, people who had faith, and people filled with panic and worry.
