Dark clouds gathered, and a raging storm brewed.
“Buzz——”
On the winding mountain road, the sports car bumped and hurtled forward, leaving behind a trail of parts, making one wonder when it might completely fall apart.
The previous cloudless sky was a lie. The gloomy clouds that had been hanging for half a day finally unleashed their rain, a torrential downpour like a sudden shower.
Amidst the storm clouds, a golden light suddenly flashed, accompanied by the rumble of thunder.
Lightning struck, and the wind surged, instantly bringing a tempest upon the world!
Without any warning, the storm erupted, as if it were trying to connect heaven and earth.
The sudden storm and thunder, such a drastic change, threw the affected towns into chaos. People, curious about the storm, opened their windows, only to be stunned by the scene in the sky.
Terrifying screams, astonished cries, frantic commotion, and the collective wails of people as if they were falling into hell. The wind whipped up lightweight objects like wood and cloth, tossing them into the air.
Lightning flickered briefly against the dark, gloomy sky, while the thunderbolts from above burned the ground and destroyed buildings.
Even the few people inside the car felt a heavy weight in their hearts.
Firstly, it was the scene of disaster, and secondly, it was the towering giant figure bathed in the raging storm.
Even from a distance, the sense of oppression from directly facing a god was enough to make one’s heart tremble.
Fortunately, the maid was focused on driving, while Ellika and Lucretia, while watching through the window, did not disturb Luo Chen, who was currently sitting in meditation.
Unlike the previous Divine Beast, this time, they had encountered a true god, a true divine power, a true manifestation of power - a Heretic God!
The giant, over thirty feet tall, made a sound like thunder with every step, heavy and deep.
From afar, it looked like a towering mountain range in human form, marching forward, unhindered by wind or rain.
One could vaguely see unkempt hair, never seeming to have been combed, and a beard that covered the lower half of his face, leaving a wild impression.
His physique was incredibly robust and well-proportioned, something even the world's top bodybuilders could only dream of.
Normally, someone that tall should look quite thin.
However, the giant was not like that. His bulging muscles radiated an aura of power, just from looking at them.
It showed how strong, powerful, and sacred his body was!
He wore rough clothing, dirty rags and leather armor on his body, with a tattered cloak draped over him, yet he exuded an air of authority.
The giant marched forward, defying the storm... or rather, he was the source of this natural disaster.
Despite his slow movements, his speed wasn’t slow compared to vehicles. Even with the maid pushing the gas pedal to the floor, they could only barely keep up.
The Heretic God - Mekar!
He was the King of Gods, the Sovereign of Gods, governing the heavens, the God of Storms, the God of Life and the Underworld, a great warrior, the ultimate dragon slayer, a being allowed to destroy the world and humanity, a holder of absolute power.
As the world developed and evolved, spiritual energy, magic, or energy began to diminish.
The decrease in the mysterious meant the weakening of space and an increase in the destruction of the world.
With the world becoming increasingly unstable, some gods chose to sleep in myths or try to avoid descending to the mortal realm.
However, after staying at home for too long, they would inevitably want to go out for a walk.
Hence, Heretic Gods, like avatars and projections, were born.
But these Heretic Gods were all troublemakers, not only staying out of their own territory but also liking to provoke or cause trouble in the next one.
So, battles between Heretic Gods emerged, although not their true forms.
But the power of a Heretic God was not something ordinary people could handle, and it caused immense loss and destruction to the world.
Therefore, the Slayer was born, certain humans, with a miracle known as “Strong Luck,” slaying gods and thus obtaining the power to defeat Heretic Gods.
However, later, although the number of Heretic Gods decreased, the Slayers became a new problem for the world.
Therefore, when Slayers became a new problem for the world, the “Final King” specifically targeting Slayers was born.
He was designed to be the combined strength of all the world's demon lords and Slayers, his power increasing with the number of Slayers on the ground, and he could even borrow divine tools from gods.
Anyway, back to the main point.
Looking at the terrifying giant in the storm, Ellika felt incredibly small.
The power she once took pride in was nothing in the face of this being.
The giant simply moved his hands and feet, causing cataclysmic disasters, something far beyond what any mortal could compare to or contend with.
If not for the honor of being a knight, perhaps she would have been intimidated upon seeing a god.
“Thump, thump, thump——”
“Roar!”
“What?! A Divine Beast?”
Furthermore, as time passed, it was unclear if they had reached the battlefield.
Besides the giant’s footsteps, other immense sounds quickly followed.
Then, Ellika noticed something, a four-legged behemoth gliding leisurely through the storm, a massive goat, soaring through the sky, like the dragons of the Celestial Empire, able to circle in the air, a giant goat without feathers or wings, leading the wind, clouds, rain, and thunder in its flight.
It was no smaller than the giant wild boar they had seen before, with white fur and long horns extending from its head.
“Grrr…”
