Terra might have weapons of mass destruction, but definitely no nuclear bombs; Goki was sure of that.
According to the plot, seventeen years ago, Kal'tsit searched in Sargon for an ancient Spell model, claiming that if properly utilized, this Spell model could turn half of Sargon's Rainforest into a desert. Its power was immense, as one could imagine.
In Terra, the older something was, the more formidable it became. Technological innovation relied entirely on grave robbing, which was no different from Yharnam—if you have good things, and you don't imitate them, relying solely on backward technology to stubbornly develop, that wouldn't be right either.
And in that instant, a strike representing Terra's ultimate power from a thousand years ago, channeled through a portion of the God of Burning Wind's limb, descended from the distant south into reality.
It was as if… a nuclear bomb was rising.
"Gao, Goki!"
Skadi, pinned beneath Goki, looked at the increasingly radiant orb not far away, a hint of panic in her eyes.
She had originally wanted to quickly flip over and protect Goki, who was much weaker than her, but the aura instantly emanating from that epicenter rendered her completely immobile.
It was a tremor and fear originating from her Bloodline. If before, Skadi's Bloodline had yearned to hunt the other, now she was like a prey prostrate on the ground, not daring to move an inch.
This familiar feeling, she had only experienced a faint trace of it when facing "It" deep beneath the sea.
But at that time, her Orca-red eyes had only bitten her lip, and she had endured that momentary terror.
Yet now, Skadi suddenly felt like an unprotected infant, weak and helpless.
"Close your eyes, take a deep breath, I'm here."
Just then, a pair of strong hands supported Skadi's back. The Little Orca opened her eyes and saw Goki smiling at her.
"Mmm—mm!"
For some reason, although Skadi knew this wasn't the time to think about it, looking at Goki's deep black pupils, she felt… they were quite beautiful.
Goki's thoughts were clearly not on Skadi. He held the Little Orca down tightly, using his back to shield her from the God of Burning Wind's arm, which was preparing to self-destruct.
Goki was all too familiar with this extremely terrifying aura.
Behind him, Parvis's body had instantly incinerated under the scorching temperature, but his Originium Arts had indeed slightly hindered the explosive energy. He had analyzed this terrifying and primitive Originium Arts, slowing down the God's power for an instant.
Immediately after, Goki felt a powerful and terrifying will sweep violently across the area from the distant south.
The immense power, spanning hundreds of kilometers, tore through the boundary between reality and illusion out of thin air. The intensely burning air even showed slight cracks, making one hear the crunching sounds of shattering in a hallucination.
Goki knew this was the God of Burning Wind, in its rage, choosing to forcefully descend into the material world—an act destined to fail, as the stable material Realm did not permit such demonic infiltration.
The space, wrinkled like plastic paper, was constantly smoothed out by the surrounding air, and the distorted light stabilized again. The resistance of the real world against the alien God continued.
Unless this world was like Yharnam, filled with madmen and lunatics, where all laws and rules were twisted, only then would those Great Ones have the chance to easily cross the Realm between the illusory and the real, and descend into the human world.
But at least, Acahuala was still a normal material world.
Yes, Goki had faced many Great Ones, many of whom were more powerful and senior than this God of Burning Wind, yet they were still killed by Goki.
But this didn't mean Goki could scorn the God of Burning Wind. Precisely because he had killed many Gods, he knew that his current strength could not contend with the God of Burning Wind's full power.
Max-level Goki was incredibly powerful and could easily deal with Gods, but that didn't mean his current self could.
Thus, under the restorative effect of the material Realm, the God residing in the Burning Wind Scorched Earth finally exerted its full power, piercing through the real world with a hundredfold weakened strength, and detonated a part of itself.
In a more Xuanhuan term—It abandoned its "Origin" merely to give the "moon" a profound lesson.
If it couldn't win, it would self-destruct. Not even Yharnam had such reckless Gods.
If Goki were here alone, he would have fought without hesitation; Old Hunters usually did that.
But now, he chose to protect Skadi.
His eyes emitted a white light. Goki felt that the part of him belonging to the Seaborn Blood was wailing in pain, and Skadi's expression also showed some suffering.
Whoosh—
Like shattering glass, a large hole was punched through space. Terrifying power was released within an extremely small range. Dazzling light instantly robbed Goki and Skadi of their sight, filling their vision with countless whites.
But just as that terrifying power swept towards Goki's body, everything around him seemed to suddenly freeze.
Goki saw a pair of golden eyes.
The world seemed to stand still. Goki even saw another burning spark floating in the air before him.
Goki looked up and saw a woman standing before him with bare, delicate feet. She held a brilliant golden scepter, had light brown skin, two large curved horns on her head, and white hair with golden eyes.
She wore a loose white robe, which, supported by her overly ample chest, appeared somewhat tight, perfectly conforming to her voluptuous body curves. The slit at her thigh revealed large expanses of wheat-colored leg flesh.
She looked at the shattered space not far away, blinked her golden eyes, and then firmly struck the ground with the pure golden staff in her hand.
The next second, yellow sand swirled in, enveloping Skadi beneath Goki.
"My power is also weak, but I can let you use your strength freely. Do what you must." — This was not the same person as the heroic voice Goki had hallucinated in his ear just now.
The scorching air was blocked by the yellow sand, and a gentle power protected Skadi, especially her Seaborn Blood. This made Skadi's somewhat pained expression slightly relax.
Skadi was strong, but the source of her Bloodline—that Seaborn God—had been beaten by this God of Burning Wind, and as shown in the frescoes, had even been injured by the God of Burning Wind..
The God's power was unreasonable. Even though Skadi had never met It, the God of Burning Wind's power still inflicted greater damage on the Seaborn's kin—the God of Burning Wind's attacks would deal special damage to her.
It was out of fear for Skadi's safety that Goki hadn't directly confronted its power—but now, Goki no longer had that concern.
Without hesitation, Goki pulled out a small, even somewhat cute pistol from his embrace, fired a light shot, emitting a crisp sound like a bell.
Ding—
Accompanied by the crisp sound, Goki activated the powers within his body that were not his own—the sky of the Rainforest was instantly covered by pale moonlight.
Silent emptiness, the power used by hunters to drive away otherworldly beings—the crisp sound disrupted the God of Burning Wind's resonance, and the powers belonging to Goki himself within his body were fully unleashed, colliding with the scorching storm.
The next second, beneath the moonlight, the God of Burning Wind's furious roar came from within the rift. The owner of this figure had lost his mind, and terrifying power erupted from his body.
"Moon, I will remember you. My power has already entered the material world. You are targeted by me! I will catch you, I will find you, I will utterly burn everything of yours!"
But immediately after, the white moonlight, along with the swirling yellow sand, pushed this power into the opened rift.
"I'll be waiting for you, but you better prepare yourself!"
Goki, without hesitation, gave the God of Burning Wind, who was being expelled, the middle finger and left a harsh remark—of course, with his current strength, he would need much more improvement to contend with the God of Burning Wind's true form.
The angry roar abruptly ceased, and the rift began to slowly close, stabilizing again under the restorative effect of the main material Realm.
"Phew, that was scary… I just got here and found this fool self-destructing."
Sighing in relief, this beautiful and mature woman with curved ram horns patted her chest, turning her attention to Goki beside her, who was also scrutinizing her.
"…Hey, hello?"
Looking at this big sister, who somewhat resembled a mix of amber and Carnelian, but was clearly more revealing and alluring, Goki had already guessed her identity.
She was also a God, but not as terrifying as the God of Burning Wind; instead, she was somewhat gentle, and… much weaker.
If the material Realm hadn't been pierced by another God, she might not have been able to appear here at all.
"…Thank you, you've worked hard, you who shine like the moon. My power is not enough to protect my people—that Little Kuranta really knows how to order people around."
With a gentle smile, the dark-skinned beauty nodded slightly, seemingly still a bit shaken.

Bending down, she gently tapped Goki's forehead. A golden eye appeared above his head, then instantly vanished.
"Wait, I still have questions—hold on, at least let's chat for a couple of sentences!"
Goki still wanted to ask something, but his gaze was firmly caught by the constantly swaying light brown fullness beneath the robe on her chest as this divine Nona possessed him.
If he guessed correctly, this being was the God of Yellow Sand, the God of the Great Desert, in Sargon's traditional beliefs.
Truly, both yellow and large!
"Heh, you little pervert, we'll meet again if fate allows—if you see my followers, please lend them a hand."
The big sister flicked Goki's forehead, and her figure vanished immediately—her power could only sustain her for such a short time.
But the next second, time continued to flow.
Buzz—
The dazzling brilliance was instantly swallowed by the moonlight and yellow sand, collapsing into a small point, and the wrinkled space was smoothed by the sand.
That immense energy had completely disappeared, as if it had never existed.
The God of Burning Wind's aura vanished. His desperate strike had become a mere thunderclap without rain.
The moonlight disappeared, the sky remained bright, and no one noticed the pale moonlight that had instantly descended. Goki held Skadi as they lay on top of the giant, which had completely solidified beneath them, becoming a colossal, pitch-black stone statue.
"Eh, what, nothing—Goki, Goki, are you okay?"
Skadi, who had been nervously holding Goki and suppressed by the terrifying aura, unable to move, opened her red eyes and saw the Hunter embracing her.
"Yeah, I'm fine, nothing happened—Phew, it's over."
Feeling no trace of divinity around his body anymore, Goki finally breathed a sigh of relief, completely relaxing and lying on Skadi.
The divine Nona was good, but his own girl was warmer.
"No problem, that's good…"
Seeing Goki unharmed, Skadi breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Goki was okay, she was happy.
"Goki, we won, the hunt was successful!"
Looking at Titi's cute face, Goki's old face flushed. He quickly coughed a few times, planning to sit up.
"Hmm, we won—shall we go find everyone?"
However, Skadi had no intention of letting go; instead, she hugged him even tighter.
"No, let me hold you for a while—Goki."
Pouting, Skadi hugged Goki, pressing her small face against his cheek.
Her expression held both the surprise of facing the God's power just now and the lingering fear of thinking she might lose him when Goki shielded her.
"I am, I am your most important friend, Goki, and you are my most important friend! I forbid you from doing that again—no matter how strong the attack, we should face it together, not with you shielding me."
Releasing her hands and holding Goki's head, Skadi looked at him seriously and said.
"Is that so—Alright, I promise you."
Looking at the serious Skadi beneath him, Goki couldn't help but smile. He lowered his head and touched the Little Orca's nose with his own.
Although he really wanted to kiss Skadi, Goki decided not to do it yet—later, he would teach Skadi, little by little, what love was!
"Hmm? This, what does this—mean?"
Their noses touched, and their bodies, separated by the Hunter's uniform, felt each other's warmth.
Skadi's red eyes were a bit dazed, not knowing why Goki was doing this, but her face instinctively flushed.
"This is a step further than friends, something only the most important friends can do—as for going further, if you want to learn, I can teach you slowly~~"
Reaching out and gently stroking Skadi's small face, wiping away some of the blackened ash, Goki finally got up.
If he continued, he was afraid he really wouldn't be able to control himself—there were still important matters to attend to.
"The, the most important friend, and can go even further—Hmm, I will learn seriously!"
Hearing Goki's words, Skadi nodded seriously, her expression returning to calm as she looked at the source of that terrifying power.
"There seems to be… something there?"
And Goki finally turned his head to look at the spot where the God of Burning Wind's arm had been.
There, Goki saw several familiar, shimmering light spots like smoke, and a powerful, somewhat nostalgic aura.
His own aura.
That was the purpose of his trip, something he had always sought but couldn't obtain, yet had easily given up for Skadi just now.
However, now it seemed it was well preserved.
[God of Yellow Sand… I owe her a favor. It's truly rare to see such a normal God.]
Smiling lightly to himself, Goki shook his head.
Not all Gods were enemies. If there were benevolent Great Ones, he wouldn't mind making friends.
[Kind Hunter, actually, you think that Great One is exceptionally beautiful and deliberately want to offer yourself to her, don't you?]
Immediately after, the Nona Doll's displeased complaint sounded in Goki's ear.
[Ah hahaha… Is that so?]
Indeed, no one understood Goki better than the Nona Doll.
Finally, everything related to the God of Burning Wind dissipated into the air, and the Rainforest's climate became cool again.
[blood echoes + 8000]
Then, the usual five large characters appeared before Goki.
[Prey slaughtered—Remains of the God of Burning Wind.]
"Sigh… The shop's prices are going up again."
Shrugging, Goki turned his gaze to those familiar things that emitted his own aura.
The battle was over. Now, it was time to count the spoils.

——————
I accidentally uploaded the draft version earlier, everyone can refresh it.
Since the theme is Bloodborne, the Hunter's journey will definitely be accompanied by various monsters and demons. The Gods didn't appear in the plot, so I had to create them!
As for the God of Yellow Sand in Sargon… everyone can imagine her as an E-cup wife version of Beeswax + Carnelian, that's all!
