The three-second countdown ended.
Ge Heng Yu felt a blur before his eyes, replaced by a vast expanse of blue.
A refreshing sea breeze brushed against his cheeks, ruffling the stray strands of hair on his forehead, leaving a faint salty tang in his nostrils.
He found himself standing at a coastal harbor.
"So I've arrived in another world, pretty fast, I must say."
Ge Heng Yu had only just voiced his thought when the system prompt sounded.
【Ding, world traversal complete.】
【Starting to replace the protagonist's fate and existence in this world. Please pay attention to the reception, host.】
Instantly, a wave of memories, as if experienced firsthand, flooded his mind.
These were the memories of a high school student named Kusanagi Koutarou.
Simultaneously, a stone tablet materialized in Ge Heng Yu's hand, and a backpack appeared on his back.
After absorbing the memories, Ge Heng Yu massaged his temples and murmured in delight.
"I actually came to the Blazblue world, this is a big win."
Blazblue.
It was an anime Ge Heng Yu had watched before his transmigration.
The story revolved around chosen individuals who, after slaying gods, usurp the power of the gods.
They become demon kings beyond the reach of humanity.
These god-slaying demon kings are known as Blazblue.
They are the enemies of all, the foes of the gods, wielding powers that rival the deities.
With ease, they can raze cities and destroy nations. The stronger ones can even inflict immense destruction and annihilation upon planets.
As far as Ge Heng Yu knew, the power of Blazblue characters in the later stages of the novel soared, reaching cosmic and multiversal levels of destruction.
As for how they achieved this and the underlying principles, Ge Heng Yu wasn't entirely clear.
But the potential of Blazblue was undeniable.
Based solely on their portrayal and settings in the early and mid-stages, their destructive capacity could rival the peak third-generation gods (civilization gods) of the Super God universe.
After all…
The Sun God, Rena, can unleash solar storms, detonate stars, and even transform into the sun.
The Noxian War God from the God River civilization could cleave a half of the Sun Star with a single swing.
Angel Yan, aided by the Sky Blade 7, could split planets with ease.
Of course, the gods of the Super God universe are technological gods, not focused on raw power.
They utilize precise strikes, weak point attacks, and computational strikes.
As a result, their combat performance appears quite volatile.
Sometimes, a simple soldier with access to counter-technology could defeat a technological god.
However, the powers of Blazblue are highly subjective, and their powers belong to the realm of rule manipulation.
This places them on the same level as void-level technology that rewrites and manipulates rules.
Therefore, to some extent, Blazblue pose a greater threat than the peak third-generation gods (civilization gods), comparable to fourth-generation gods.
Overall, if brought into the Super God universe, Blazblue would stand on par with a civilization god.
While lost in thought, Ge Heng Yu held the Prometheus Tome and walked into the city of Sardinia.
Having transmigrated and taken Kusanagi Koutarou's place, his primary goal was to follow the original plot.
He would accept the protagonist's fate and slay the war god, Valerius, first.
After all, Ge Heng Yu couldn't imagine a way for a mere second-generation super soldier to slay a god, unless he had enough achievement points.
But his remaining 400 achievement points wouldn't even be enough to fill a gap between a god's teeth.
As he wandered aimlessly through the city, passing through a deserted street, a breathtakingly beautiful foreign girl with golden hair and a crimson gown stood in his path.
"That person over there, hand over the magic book."
Erica pointed a small knife at Ge Heng Yu, making a threat in Italian.
Seeing the plot unfolding as expected, Ge Heng Yu felt no anger at the threat. Instead, he smiled slightly.
"Beautiful lady, could you speak in Mandarin with me?
I've never learned a foreign language."
As he spoke, Ge Heng Yu slowly lowered the knife that Erica had pointed at him.
"And as a lady, threatening with a knife is a breach of etiquette."
Stung by his words, Erica's face flushed, and she retorted in Mandarin.
"Who's being rude exactly?
You, a suspicious individual carrying a magic book in Sardinia.
As a knight of the Copper Black Cross, I have a duty to protect the city…"
Erica hadn't finished speaking when...
Roar, roar, roar…
A beast's roar echoed through the sky.
The ground beneath their feet started to shake and tremble.
At the location of the city harbor.
A beast with jet-black fur, twenty meters long, and weighing over a hundred tons, suddenly appeared.
It began to trample and destroy city buildings, charging and smashing.
In just a few strikes, numerous buildings were reduced to rubble.
Ge Heng Yu watched the imposing giant wild boar, his brow furrowed.
He felt that his invincible body would explode immediately if he were to be trampled by the beast.
It was an absolute display of crushing strength, a terrifying existence capable of triggering a magnitude five earthquake in the entire city.
The term "divine beast" was truly fitting.
"It's very dangerous here now, you have to run."
Erica, seeing the appearance of the divine beast, no longer cared to argue with Ge Heng Yu and immediately bolted off.
Her maid, Elianna, drove a red car, quickly taking Erica towards the harbor.
As the master and maid left, Ge Heng Yu followed calmly behind.
He was well aware that the divine beast would only rampage for a short time.
The war god, Valerius, would soon reclaim his beast form.
Erica would be safe, and the damage to the city wouldn't be significant.
The important thing now was to wait for the war god, Valerius, to appear before him.
That would be his chance to use the Prometheus Tome to steal Valerius's white steed form.
To gain a critical aid in his pursuit of god-slaying.
Soon, as Ge Heng Yu neared the beast's zone of destruction.
A divine youth of about fifteen, clad in a tattered gray-white robe, appeared before him.
Upon seeing this figure, or rather, god.
Ge Heng Yu's eyes blazed with fervor, his hand gripping the Prometheus Tome tightly.
Sensing the battle intent, Valerius clutched his abdomen and burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, interesting, interesting, truly interesting."
Valerius laughed so hard that tears streamed down his face.
He had merely sensed the vitality of a human body, exceptionally strong.
So he was curious to see what kind of human this was.
Unexpectedly, upon encountering this unusual human.
The determination to slay him was about to erupt.
And this human seemed to recognize his divine identity as well.
Yet, in the face of this god, he didn't shy away from displaying his fighting spirit.
He was a true fool, with the potential to become a god-slayer.
"Is it funny?
Or do you think I can't defeat you?"
Ge Heng Yu didn't get angry at Valerius's laughter, instead, he replied calmly.
After all, it was indeed funny for a mortal to think they could defeat a god.
"No, no, no, brave warrior, I have no intention of mocking you.
It's just that encountering such a rare and unusual fool, I am simply delighted."
Valerius suppressed his smile, his expression gradually turning approving, then he continued.
"However, with your exceptional vitality and a body slightly stronger than that of a mortal, trying to slay me won't be easy."
Ge Heng Yu shook the Prometheus Tome in his hand and asked.
"What about this?"
As the Prometheus Tome was shaken.
A white steed cloaked in the radiance of the sun was summoned from Valerius's being.
It stopped beside Ge Heng Yu.
【Prometheus Tome】：Possesses the ability to steal and utilize divine power.
【Stealing Requirements】：Engage in some time of communication with the god.
【Usage Cost】：Using divine power will flow through the body, causing it to boil and burn to death.
"Hm! The power of a thief.
You were so focused on your abnormalities that you didn't notice the thief's device.
I've been careless, hahaha."
Looking at the stolen white steed form, Valerius wasn't angered, instead, he excitedly shook his head.
Finally, he laughed with excitement, his divine aura naturally radiating.
"Come then, I acknowledge your strength to fight.
How about it? Should we fight now, brave warrior?"
Feeling an overwhelming pressure, Ge Heng Yu's eyes burned with passion. The white steed beside him stirred restlessly, ready to charge at any moment.
But remembering that Valerius's forms weren't fully collected, not entirely concentrated.
Slaying him wouldn't make him a god-slayer. So he held back his urge to strike.
"No, I'll wait until you're fully restored before I fight you."
Upon hearing the answer, Valerius's excited expression faded, replaced by a look of "as expected."
"Indeed, your goal is to become a true fool.
But, I accept this challenge.
Warrior, tell me your name."
Ge Heng Yu stored the white steed form into the stone tablet, placing it in the system's space, before answering.
"Ge Heng Yu."
Sensing the complete loss of connection with the white steed form, Valerius's expression turned serious.
"Ge Heng Yu, I remember you.
My name is Valerius, I am the victor, the strongest, the one who defeats all enemies.
Ge Heng Yu, try to defeat me, let me taste the flavor of defeat."
The last word fell, and Valerius vanished into a gust of wind.
Seeing him leave, Ge Heng Yu's tense nerves finally relaxed.
His hand rested against the wall, a bit weak, his back clothes had been soaked with cold sweat without his knowledge.
"So this is a god?
It's like facing a sky-reaching tornado, every cell in my body is trembling.
It's a hundred times more exciting than bungee jumping."
Even as he spoke, Ge Heng Yu's face displayed an immense excitement.
【Ding, new achievement unlocked】
