"Because I am going to slay a God."
As Abel said this, Erica was somewhat disbelieving. After all, a God was not so easy to kill.
Meanwhile, Verethragna in the sky and Melqart on the ground seemed to have heard something interesting.
A mere devil, actually presuming to slay a God.
"How dare a mere devil meddle in a battle of Gods?" Melqart's voice was filled with disdain.
Verethragna commented, "An interesting devil. You are the first devil to be interested in us Heretic Gods."
Why would Verethragna say that?
That was because only by slaying a God as a human could one obtain the authority of the slain God.
If all creatures could slay Gods and gain authority, then the weak Gods would all be hunted. After all, no matter how small the gain, it's still something.
Thus, such a rule came into being. Non-humans who kill Gods gain nothing. Instead, they will be targeted by those Gods, who will come looking for them once they revive from mythology.
Rather than being endlessly entangled, it's better to ignore them.
Similarly, only humans can enter the Netherworld and meet Pandora.
Unfortunately, Abel was not an ordinary person. He was a transmigrator, and a transmigrator with a System at that. He was a bug-like existence. Therefore, these rules and regulations did not apply to him.
Abel said, a confident smile appearing on his lips, "That's right, I am interested in you Heretic Gods. Of course, slaying a God requires capital, but coincidentally, I possess the capital for such arrogance."
With that, a powerful aura erupted from him as demonic power wildly surged, seemingly endless.
The momentum pressed towards Verethragna and Melqart.
Melqart laughed. "Hahahaha, interesting devil, I admit you have the qualification to fight us!"
Verethragna looked as if he had found a new toy. "Interesting! I hope you can bring me an interesting battle!"
Verethragna only challenged the strong. So he awakened Melqart from mythology, just for a battle with him. He didn't expect that there would be an extra surprise today. Abel before him was his second target.
"I am the devil Abel Astaroth! I am the future Satan, and the current Godslayer! Oh, warlike Gods! I shall grant you defeat!" His words carried strong confidence.
At this moment, a three-way standoff, where no one would help anyone else, was about to unfold.
"Hahahahaha! How bold, a mere devil dares to dream of defeating a God!"
Melqart laughed, then his eyes turned serious as he spoke, "I Melqart, the greatest warrior and God King among all God Kings, accept your challenge!"
"What arrogant words indeed."
Verethragna's face held the arrogance of a God of War. "As the undefeated God of Victory, I never fear any challenge. I will accept all challenges."
The divine auras of Verethragna and Melqart erupted. Abel was not to be outdone, unleashing his full aura.
At this moment, the sky was divided into three regions.
Storm, lightning, and pure white.
The incessant downpour suddenly ceased, followed by an even more violent energy eruption. The storm generated by the auras became even more frenzied. The storm raged, sending sand and stones flying.
The entire island was affected, trees were uprooted, and the earth began to crack.
Erica, relying on the protective barrier formed by her magic, barely managed to withstand this aura.
"This… is this the aura of Heretic Gods? So strong, and that guy who saved me is also so strong." Erica exclaimed, but then suddenly realized something was wrong.
"No… this can't go on, or the entire island will be destroyed, what should I do?"
Watching the destruction of the island, she panicked.
The residents in the island had all closed their doors and windows, praying for a safe passage through this storm.
Erica wanted to go forward, but she was blown away in a short while. After being blown a certain distance, she pushed forward against the wind again.
Abel narrowed his eyes.
Indeed, was it still a bit difficult to fight two Heretic Gods at the same time?
However, with White Stallion and Prometheus's abilities, he should be able to defeat these two guys in front of him.
Abel's lips curved upwards, and then his eyes became resolute.
It's just slaying Gods, isn't it?
Today, I will slay Gods, and two of them.
Melqart laughed. "A devil with such spirit, I shall acknowledge you for now!"
"Then Verethragna and unknown devil, let us have a grand battle!"
At the same time, he had already made his move. And his targets were none other than Verethragna and Abel. He tightly gripped two wooden staffs in his hands and then swung them towards the two.
In an instant, one side was filled with thunderous might, the other with a whirlwind of destruction. Whatever it was, it possessed unparalleled destructive power.
These two wooden staffs were Melqart's weapons. One was Ayamari the Driver, representing lightning, and the other was Yagarish the Chaser, representing wind.
Just a simple swing had such powerful destructive force. If they fought in a city, that place would be reduced to ruins.
"So… so powerful! Can humans really kill them?" Erica hid in a spot, watching this scene unfold.
Now she no longer prayed for the small island to remain, she only hoped they wouldn't run into the town to fight. Otherwise, even more people would die.
"Hahaha! Melqart, as expected of you, such a powerful attack is truly exhilarating!"
Facing Ayamari the Driver, which was swinging towards him and carrying lightning, Verethragna unleashed his arrogant side.
"I am the strongest and the one who holds all victories, I will surely crush any foe that stands before me!"
Saying that, Verethragna responded to the attack.
He swung his fist towards Ayamari the Driver, which was many times larger than himself.
