“——Word of Power! Become my blade!”
In an instant, the invincible war god with ten avatars descended: a strong wind, a bull, a white horse, a camel, a wild boar, a youth, a phoenix, a ram, a goat, and a human warrior wielding a golden sword.
He was the ancient Persian war god, the guardian who served the god of light, Mithra. In the Middle East, he was known as the Guardian of Light, and he shared the same origin as Indra, the thunder god of India.
He was connected to both the Eastern and Western worlds and was also believed to be Heracles.
This god of war, who knew no east or west, was now a rare war god descended upon the world, surrounded by countless rays of light, radiating a brilliant glow.
“I, Verethragna, am the sword, the hero of martial arts!”
Countless golden lights gathered in Verethragna's hand. The light gradually condensed into a long sword with a golden blade, majestically wielding it in the air.
Luo Chen wasn't too concerned about the golden sword that could cleave or temporarily seal powers. Because if you don't know what god your opponent is, and you don't have any intel, then you can only rely on your insight to discern the essence of the god. But that was the last thing Luo Chen worried about.
Firstly, it could only temporarily seal one power, and secondly, he didn't "eat" by relying on power. He wasn't the type who would be powerless without it.
Now, after his strength skyrocketed, just his Teacher Sister's "Twelve Divine Palms of the Flying Phoenix" alone was powerful enough to be considered a power.
And that wasn't a power, so how could it possibly be cleaved or sealed?
His martial arts alone were now fully capable of fighting a Demonic God!
So, the so-called Wisdom Sword's incantation, without the relevant knowledge, was just a shiny, flashy sword, not even as good as other divine weapons.
In a game, it would be similar to being in a magic-suppression state. A mage would be completely useless, but the effect on a warrior wouldn't be significant.
“…I am the strongest, and I hold all victory! When you are afflicted by disaster, just chant the Word of Power I give you… Mankind, accept my protection!”
The battle began. As Verethragna raised his sword and chanted the Word of Power, a certain concept or law seemed to fall on Luo Chen.
The words on the surface were about protecting him, but the actual effect was the opposite.
“Hmm?”
The power "Youth," one of Verethragna's avatars, used its divine power in this state to bestow protection and make humans submit. But while it protected, humans would become his servants.
Facing this, a sense of discomfort surged within Luo Chen's heart. Then, in the next second, his magical energy surged, and that concept instantly vanished.
If it had been him before, facing this power, he would have inevitably felt adoration or faith toward Verethragna, putting him at a disadvantage in battle immediately.
But after becoming a Slayer of Gods, it was like he had developed an antibody or immunity, or rather, his "magic resistance" was maxed out.
“Wind! Rain! Thunder! Answer the call of the cloud rider, come swiftly!”
“Boom——”
Give and take is only proper etiquette. It was like he was commanding them with his own hand.
As Luo Chen raised one hand to the sky, a scene of raging wind, torrential rain, lightning and thunder appeared once again in an instant.
And it wasn't just that. The rapidly forming storm swept towards Verethragna, hundreds of thousands of lightning bolts appearing from all directions, relentlessly bombarding the undefeated war god with their thunderous might.
It was truly a grand spectacle. The entire basin was instantly engulfed by lightning.
Even the two girls watching from a distance were almost blinded by the flashes and had to step back to avoid the lightning.
The heavens and earth suddenly seemed to be connected by lightning bolts!
The entire battlefield turned into a thunderous purgatory in the blink of an eye.
Compared to this, the Five Thunders Striking Down was simply weak. This was thousands of thunders striking down.
Countless pillars of lightning descended from the sky, directly enveloping the entire battlefield.
And it didn't stop there. At this moment, Luo Chen felt like he had become the god of the sky, able to control and wield its power.
Storms, torrential rain, lightning.
This was the first power he had obtained from Mekal – Domination of the Sky!
He could freely control the sky, command thunder, whip up strong winds, and bring down torrential rain.
This was just one of his powers, and Luo Chen could feel that his luck this time was off the charts. Besides this "Domination of the Sky" power, he had also obtained several other powers.
Power Two, Dragonslayer.
It possessed the ability to "slay dragons" and was highly effective against opponents with "dragon" attributes.
Power Three, Life Recovery.
As the name suggests, it could restore life, injuries, and illnesses.
Power Four, Resurrection.
This was Mekal's power as the god of the underworld. Its effect was self-explanatory, it could resurrect after death.
But resurrection required time, and exactly how long, he'd have to wait until he died once to know. Resurrection had no limit on the number of times, just the cooldown time was currently unknown. Also, it was unknown if it was effective on others?
If it was effective on others, then this power would be incredibly useful!
Power Five, Ocean Control.
The ability to unleash waves like a flood, move and breathe freely underwater, and communicate and control marine life.
It could be said that among Mekal's powers, almost all of them, except for summoning powers, had been "exploded" by Luo Chen.
This involved the belief between Demonic Gods and Slayers of Gods. Maybe he disliked locusts or hell creatures, so he didn't have those powers.
Although he seemed to have obtained many powers, only "Domination of the Sky" seemed to be useful in this battle.
The other few were either auxiliary or passive.
“Rumble…”
