“What?”
“You stole the power of a god and dared to challenge it? How dare you!”
Alica’s beautiful eyes widened, looking at Ge Heng Yu in shock, as if he was a monster.
In the past, Alica had no fear of gods or godslayers.
She even had the arrogant thought of challenging a god and becoming a godslayer.
After all, she was a genius, achieving the rank of Great Knight at a young age.
She also mastered the “Word of God” which could inflict damage or even kill a god.
A special attack magic, the Holy Annihilation.
But after seeing the destructive power of the divine beast, the wild boar, and the towering tornado, she no longer had those ridiculous thoughts.
Because the two were on completely different levels. Even though she mastered the special attack magic, Holy Annihilation, her fundamental strength was insufficient to achieve her desired results.
Now, she knew that Ge Heng Yu, a mortal with some strength, dared to steal divine power in front of a god and challenge it, and it felt absurd.
Ge Heng Yu glanced at Alica and said with indifference, “Why wouldn’t I dare? It’s just a god. Not enough to intimidate me.”
Seeing Ge Heng Yu’s indifferent attitude towards the god, Lucrezia sat up straight and said seriously, “Heng Yu, do you know, understand, and grasp what a god represents?”
Before Ge Heng Yu could respond, Lucrezia continued solemnly, “They are the incarnations of natural disasters that humans cannot resist. They are beings who can easily destroy cities and nations. Even if you used the slate to steal a portion of divine power, the chance of defeating a god is incredibly small. Most importantly, the cost of using the slate is death, young man.”
At this point, Lucrezia gave Ge Heng Yu one last piece of advice, “Perhaps if you abandon the slate and escape from the island, you have a chance to survive.”
Alica also nodded in agreement, “Heng Yu, you should leave Sardinia quickly. Before Weller-Sranna has time to find you.”
Seeing that they didn’t think he could win and were advising him to leave, Ge Heng Yu felt a little confused.
How come this was different from the original story?
In the original story, Lucrezia knew that the slate contained a white horse avatar, specially deposited by Weller-Sranna, and only said a few mysterious words, without much reaction.
Now, he had proactively stolen the white horse and declared war. Did this change the meaning?
The meaning was indeed different.
Lucrezia explained, “Once you declare war on a god, and the god accepts the challenge, then the god will have no reservations and will exert all their power to kill the challenger, even if it’s just a mortal like an ant. Because gods are proud. This pride forces them to carry out their oaths.”
So unlike the original story where the protagonist, Kusanagi Kotarou, was belittled and even ignored, Ge Heng Yu would face Weller-Sranna, the War God, in full seriousness.
After hearing the explanation, Ge Heng Yu’s brows furrowed slightly, but quickly relaxed, “It’s fine. Since we’ve agreed to a duel, I naturally have a way. Besides, my potential ability is enough to surpass a god.”
Ge Heng Yu’s confidence was not just inherited from the original male protagonist’s fate of being a godslayer.
The super gene, Galaxy Force, within his body, possessing the anti-void ability, the law-overturning rule, was also a formidable weapon.
As for so-called technology being ineffective against the gods in this world? Ge Heng Yu could only say, “That depends.”
When technology reaches the Void level, it can influence, control, and even overturn rules. So-called gods who are immune to technology would become meaningless.
Even without Void-level rule technology, as long as the level of technology reaches the point where it can drive dark energy, and the strength of the technological engine is sufficient, even a god would die.
For example, the power of Lena driving dark energy to detonate a star. The Noxian War God throwing a God-Slaying Axe, creating an anti-dark singularity effect, consuming all energy to release super radiation, shattering a planet. This pure, violent dark energy technology. Can a god withstand it?
Perhaps some gods could, but the vast majority wouldn’t.
Seeing that Ge Heng Yu remained confident and didn’t escape, Alica and Lucrezia sighed helplessly. Since they couldn’t change the situation, and they were the witch and knight of Sardinia, unable to leave, they had to accept reality.
But because of this, a little expectation arose in their hearts.
They were curious to see how far Ge Heng Yu could go, whether he could achieve the feat of godslaying and become a godslayer.
So, in the following days, Alica and Lucrezia responded wholeheartedly to Ge Heng Yu’s requests and made preparations for the godslaying.
Ge Heng Yu went to the empty space in the villa and opened the system of achievements for crossing.
He had gained 20,000 achievement points from his duel and theft of Weller-Sranna’s power, plus the remaining 400 points. That was a total of 20,400 achievement points.
No question about it, he had to upgrade his super gene first.
Ge Heng Yu: “System, upgrade me to a third-generation super soldier.”
【System】: “Upgrading to a third-generation super soldier requires 10,000 achievement points. Do you want to consume them?”
Ge Heng Yu: “Yes, I agree to consume them.”
【System】: “Ding, consuming 10,000 achievement points, super gene, Galaxy Force, starting to upgrade.”
Soon, a warm current flowed through his entire body. Ge Heng Yu could feel his body rapidly hardening and strengthening, his strength increasing significantly.
【Ding, the host has successfully advanced to a third-generation super soldier.】
Next, Ge Heng Yu tested his strength.
He could achieve hundreds of tons of force solely with his physical strength.
According to Lucrezia’s inspection, his body hardness had exceeded the strength of any alloy in the godslayer world.
When Alica used the “Word of God” to summon the Holy Lance, Longinus, to break his defenses and cut his flesh, his body’s recovery ability allowed him to heal the cuts and the negative effects of the holy lance within a minute.
Combined with the combat techniques he had learned, Ge Heng Yu could now fight the divine beast, the wild boar, head-on.
If we factor in his enhanced anti-void ability, the law-overturning rule, Ge Heng Yu felt that he could directly defeat the divine beast, the wild boar.
“Heng Yu, what kind of cultivation path is this super soldier of yours? The strength and physical strength of your body are close to the level of a divine beast, which is simply terrifying.”
Alica touched Ge Heng Yu’s strong, toned physique, exposed by his shirtless torso due to testing his abilities. The feel of his defined abdominal muscles, firm and resilient, made her entranced.
It was hard to believe that such a small human body contained such terrifying power.
Lucrezia, wearing a purple halter dress, revealing her snowy cleavage, also patted Ge Heng Yu’s strong chest muscles and chuckled, “Heh, no wonder you, kid, dared to challenge a god directly. This is your confidence, your potential to surpass a god?”
Seeing the two women exploring his body, captivated and curious, Ge Heng Yu didn’t mind at all, even letting them do as they pleased, and explained casually, “You’ll know about super soldiers later, what kind of cultivation path it is. But one thing I can tell you clearly is that my super soldier’s name is Galaxy Force. The Galaxy Force that breaks fear. And I’m not at the limit of Galaxy Force yet, not even half of it. The minimum limit is to surpass the level of a god.”
Ge Heng Yu was not lying. The essence of Galaxy Force’s ability is anti-void. In other words, it overturns laws, specifically breaking various rules. For gods who wield rules and powers, it has a significant restraint.
In the original story of Super God, the demon, Ato, said it very well: the future of Galaxy Force is destined to become an ultimate god.
“A cultivation path that surpasses a god? Is that really possible?” Alica was stunned and disbelieving. Gods were no joke. They were beings who could easily destroy cities and nations, humans had no way of resisting them. Even her uncle, Paul, who had reached the limit of known human cultivation, a level beyond Great Knights, a Saint Knight, could only fight on par with divine beasts. Compared to a god, he was still a million miles away.
Now it’s said that the limit of a cultivation path can surpass a god? This shook Alica’s world view.
Lucrezia on the side, eyes shining with excitement, covered her mouth and chuckled, “You’ve promised. You have to tell me what kind of cultivation path super soldiers are later. I’m so curious.”
Ge Heng Yu gave her an OK gesture, “Don’t worry, I will. Maybe I can arrange for you to have it too.”
He was never stingy with those who had helped him.
………………
Just a little balancing of the world settings.
Void-level technology ≤ Divine power
Dark energy ≈ Curse energy
It can be understood as roughly the same level of power.
But divine power has a subjective nature, so its danger level is far higher than Void-level technology.
