The God Slayer In The Anime World

Nevertheless, whatever happened, everyone present was dumbfounded by the "miracle" unfolding before their eyes.

The shadow of the Feathered Serpent covered almost all of Mexico City.

"Oh, our humble and devout people! Offer your hearts and blood, raise the banners of the eagle and hawk, and become warriors who defend the glory and dignity of the gods."

A thunderous voice echoed in the ears of Mexico City's inhabitants.

"The gods demand living sacrifices."

In the past, when various Central American tribes went to war, the mighty Jaguar Warriors would tear out and crush the hearts of living people before battle, offering them along with the skulls of the dead to the gods they served.

Sacrifices before battle were slaves, and sacrifices after battle were captives.

When blood flowed like rivers, the Feathered Serpent granted their wishes.

Thus, unable to resist the Heretic God's Word Magic, and in a daze, people began to tear out their own hearts in various ways.

However, the coercive effect of this Word Magic was not very strong, so most people were stopped by others or other circumstances, but even so, nearly a thousand people died by suicide.

The blood flowing from their hearts spilled onto the ground, replenishing the Serpent God's power, while their bodies slowly rose from the ground, becoming "Jaguar Warriors" in the service of the Gods.

And the gods needed more living sacrifices.

Erica and Liliana successfully resisted the invasion of the Word Spell, but some of the Magical Society's subordinates were not exempt.

On the other hand, Kaido also quickly healed his temporarily blinded eyes.

After suffering a setback, he became enraged. After his spear was blocked with a staff, Kaido abandoned his weapon, turning his hands into fists, and unleashed a continuous barrage of attacks on the Feathered Serpent's head.

"Bang, bang, bang—!"

All his punches, without reservation, aimed at the Serpent God's forehead. In an instant, it received hundreds of blows.

Although the god's head was incredibly hard, it still made noises under Kaido's fists. The Feathered Serpent was almost shattered, its head a complete mess.

Every blow it received to the head was like torment to its soul.

At that moment, the Serpent God felt its life coming to an eclipse; it felt its divine life coming to an end.

When the Feathered Serpent's head tilted back, Kaido took the opportunity to unleash a charged punch, aimed at its face. This direct hit sent it reeling several kilometers back.

And just as the Serpent God retaliated with a furious counterattack, Kaido quickly moved away from its vicinity, relocating to a safe spot.

The bird's head, originally beautiful and magnificent, was battered and bruised, its feathers looked like inserted reeds, appearing quite comical, and even its beak was shattered.

No one could remain conscious after taking hundreds of hits from a Godslayer.

If the Serpent God hadn't replenished its life force with thousands of people, it would probably have fainted by now.

"That was a gift back; no need to thank me."

The power of that Solar Strike wasn't very great, so Kaido was able to recover in time.

But in comparison, Kaido's gift was much more "grand."

The Feathered Serpent was now definitely gravely wounded; the continuous dripping of blood was quite disturbing, and it couldn't even manage to stand with its chest inflated.

And the Serpent God does not possess the authority to heal wounds, which can be seen in mythological texts.

Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered Serpent God who ruled all the gods of the world, fell ill. As he couldn't recover for a long time, when the God of Darkness, "Tezcatlipoca," disguised as an old man, appeared before the Feathered Serpent God and pulled out a bottle of strong tequila, tempting him by saying it could cure his illness, the Feathered Serpent God drank it without hesitation.

His body became paralyzed by the divine wine. Although he resisted upon understanding the problem, his willpower finally plummeted, he became drunk, and seduced his own sister.

And this crime directly led to the subsequent collapse of the nation.

In ancient records, although the Serpent God possessed a partial divinity of the God of War, it was quite diluted; its power leaned more towards other areas.

Although the sun and moon also carried the shadow of the Feathered Serpent, they were ultimately not its main aspects.

The reason for the current situation, where Kaido was suppressing it, was likely because the Serpent God was more inclined to rule the nation and govern the people.

Instead of fighting, he preferred to rule.

He was at once an enlightened ruler who brought prosperity to the nation and a tyrant who craved blood and hearts.

The power shown by the Feathered Serpent God earlier had already proved Kaido's conjecture.

In this relatively vast land, numerous different civilizations flourished, and due to the distinct political, cultural, and religious needs of each civilization, even if they all worshipped the "Serpent God," these factors would influence the God's image.

Although for most people, Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered Serpent, was a benevolent God, as one of the most famous supreme Gods of that era, it was not strange for him to possess different divinities and images.

The authorities of the God of War, the God of Rain, the God of Wind, the God of the Sky, and even the God of Evil had manifested, with the remaining ones being books, legislation, and corn cobs.

However, Kaido couldn't even imagine ingenious uses for those last three divinities.

If it manifested as an authority, would he be locked in a dark room to "swim" in a sea of knowledge, then crushed with corn cobs?

"The worship of the Feathered Serpent is a thing of the past; it's time for you to return to myth."

Kaido took a deep breath, then raised his right hand.

"Come to my side, for victory!"

"Immortal sun, send me the swift luminous horse!"

"Miraculous swift horse, come and bring the halo before your master!"

Cursed power surged, and amidst a fervent neigh, a White Horse burning in flames descended from the upper sky.

The flames on its body were dazzling, and the soaring temperature evaporated moisture and distorted space. It was the [White Horse] that appeared for sinners who brought suffering to the people.

The Serpent God, who had killed thousands of people, was certainly a sinner.

However, when the Serpent God felt the increasing power of the authority, a phantom book appeared in its hand. It turned a page and roared at Kaido: "I am the God of Legislation, you are an accomplice, you are also guilty!"

Kaido, who intended a grand finale with the White Horse, did not expect the Feathered Serpent to have this trick up its sleeve.

As the Serpent God chanted the Word Magic, the ghostly pages in its hand flipped rapidly, finally stopping on a certain page, and then the light that burst from it shot directly towards Kaido.

"Still trying to counterattack this way?"

The Feathered Serpent God is the God of Legislation. After using Word Magic to kill people, it judged Kaido by law as the indirect killer of the people.

If he hadn't summoned the Serpent God, those humans wouldn't have died.

"This is blatant slander, a deliberate turning of black into white."

Kaido didn't expect the Serpent God to exploit such a small loophole.

So he could only control the White Horse to cancel that light.

And at that moment, Kaido noticed that the Feathered Serpent God's magic power was weakening and its figure was gradually fading.

"Fleeing?"

Kaido quickly dismissed this idea and then guessed what the Feathered Serpent God wanted to do.

In mythology, after Quetzalcoatl was defeated by the God of Darkness, he burned the city of Tula and fled.

However, this was not a true departure, for he left a prophecy: "One day, I will return and eliminate my enemies."

The place from which the Feathered Serpent departed would be filled with bloody storms, with blood filling the lakes, broken arrows everywhere in the cities, and mutilated corpses with severed heads, and even a plague that killed hundreds of thousands of people.

Kaido had reason to believe that once the Feathered Serpent God successfully activated this authority, all of Mexico City would be transformed into a land of complete death, and its power would greatly increase.

Although Kaido didn't have excessive sympathy, he wouldn't idly watch as the people of a city died because of him.

"The earth that nurtures all things cracks in flames, the endless forests whisper in flames, the barren sea begins to boil, and the goddess's lightning will surely burn the eyes of the gods!"

A new Word Magic resonated in the sky.

This was the authority Kaido obtained after Athena, who proactively sealed the goddess's power within his body.

It was a powerful authority from which even ancient gods could only flee upon seeing it!

Indeed, this was also a new authority that Kaido had recently come to comprehend.

It wasn't necessary to kill a Heretic God, but there had to be a Heretic God who willingly shared their main power with a Godslayer for the latter to gain authority.

However, in this world, besides Kaido, who would be willing to sit and chat over tea with a Heretic God?

Whether it was his nominal elder sister, Luo Hao, or Sword King Salvatore, their first reaction to seeing a Heretic God would definitely be to strike first and ask questions later.

Under what was almost an instruction from "fate," it was even more out of the question to convince a Heretic God to divide their core power and hand it over to a Godslayer to wield.

Even Kaido himself relied on the condition of being able to travel to another world to attract Athena's "loyalty."

The strong winds, like an approaching storm, swept through the air, and the figures of Kaido and the gradually fading Feathered Serpent swayed in the wind.

Their position was above the clouds, so the appearance of strong winds was already an incredible phenomenon, and the Serpent God also seemed to sense the danger, accelerating the chanting of its Word Magic.

When it was defeated by enemies and disappeared, the prophecy of its return would manifest.

At that time, its power would return to its peak and bring death and plague, as well as a powerful army capable of easily destroying local civilizations.

The dark clouds beneath their feet churned like an ocean vortex, pale blue lightning roared among the clouds, piercing through the atmosphere and erupting into crimson sparks.

At the same time, the ancient city of Teotihuacan on earth also burst into furious flames, the ground cracked as if purgatorial fires, born from the earth's crust due to an earthquake, were burning the land, a scene similar to the end of the world reappearing.

"I am the lord of the stars, and your sins shall be reduced to ashes under the judgment of the morning star!"

As the Feathered Serpent God chanted its new Word Magic.

At that moment, even higher above Kaido's head, flaming meteorites descended from the sky, countless luminous, hot stones falling like a meteor shower.

According to many mythological records, if one traces the origin of the Feathered Serpent God, one would find that it was actually a deity from outside Earth; therefore, no matter how many changes mythology underwent, only the divine nature of the [Master of the Stars] remained unchanged.

And to successfully activate its final Word Magic and stop Kaido's attack, the Serpent God summoned a meteor shower from the sky.

The light that had once illuminated most of Central America had long since vanished, replaced by a crimson sky and a land seemingly burned by the fires of hell.

The ancient ruins of the Ancient City of Teotihuacan cracked, burned, and collapsed one after another, those landscapes that had endured for thousands of years, the treasures of Aztec and Mayan civilization, were almost entirely consumed by divine authority; the Pyramids of the Sun and Moon were completely shattered, and the "Tombs of the Gods" on both sides of the Golden Avenue were also reduced to dust.

After killing the last mutated Jaguar Warrior, Erica wiped blood from her cheek and stood on the car's roof, looking at the distant burning ancient city.

The sky and earth burned, and the nearby lake was boiling like hot water, with many freshwater fish floating belly-up on the surface; soon, these witches and Mikos smelled the aroma of cooked fish.

"This scene is simply a recreation of the departure of the Feathered Serpent Topiltzin in mythology."

Alice spoke with conviction.

"However, earthquakes are not an authority the Serpent God possesses; it's likely the King contending with him."

Erica and Liliana were not very familiar with Aztec mythology, but in the "Bible," there were also many descriptions of cities burned by heavenly fire.

"Let's fall back a bit more; surely the King's battle will end soon."

"Let's return to Mexico City first, but even under our protection, people have died due to the gods' authority, so it must be even more chaotic there," Liliana said.

After the witches and Grand Knights reached an agreement, they continued to move away.

And when they returned to Mexico City, the situation in the city was exactly as Liliana had described: mutated Jaguar Warriors were visible everywhere, slaughtering their former compatriots.

They extracted the hearts of living people, tore apart their limbs and heads, and those dead whose heads hadn't been torn off also successively joined the army of Jaguar Warriors.

This scene was like a recreation of Resident Evil.

"This authority is truly too evil!"

Even Erica and the others, who had seen many cults, couldn't help but turn pale.

However, after stabilizing their emotions, they first sent the Miko who had no combat power back to the hotel, then began to clear the surrounding dead.

Meanwhile, the authority obtained from Athena acted upon Kaido's entire body.

An explosive electrical light enveloped his body, making his hair stand on end, and the surging blue light seemed to make Kaido look like a Super Saiyan; even his black eyes were covered by the electrical light.

"Power obtained by abnormal means really has some drawbacks."

Kaido felt the pain of the lightning coursing through his body; his clothes had long since been torn off, leaving him naked in the air.

"But the power is certainly abundant."

Soon, the lightning converged and merged with the Sacred Spear in his hand, forming a weapon that combined lightning and the True Longinus.

"It's over, Feathered Serpent!"

"Take a shot from my righteous Lightning Spear!"

Kaido raised his right hand high, lifting the Sacred Spear, imbued with the power of lightning, above his head, then fiercely threw it towards the Feathered Serpent God.
