Chapter 35 - Chapter 35: Lu Li VS Heretic God

[Tohsaka Rin: "God?"]

Tohsaka Rin was extremely shocked. For a magus, although there were various churches promoting gods, in the world of magecraft, gods were just legends, only recorded to have truly existed in ancient times.

Seeing a living god on the screen was a huge shock to a magus.

[Kanae: "A god?"]

In her world, there were no gods, only demons. The existence of gods only gave people something to believe in. She didn't believe in gods, especially after hearing about Erica's world. She felt that there wasn't much difference between gods and demons.

[Whitebeard: "Oh? Is this young man a god?"]

In the captain's quarters of the Moby Dick, Whitebeard looked at the young man on the screen in front of him. Whitebeard had no reverence for creatures like gods, only some curiosity.

This young man had a purple halo around his body. As a mage, Erica recognized his identity immediately.

"You are the one who killed my avatar last time, right? I have been searching for your traces for a while but found nothing."

"Later, I changed my method. I looked for this girl. I found her, but didn't find you."

"So I thought, since the destruction last time made you appear, would destruction this time make you appear?"

"The result was just as I expected. You really appeared."

"But I'm a bit confused. How exactly did you appear?"

Hearing the young man talking to himself, Erica's expression changed drastically. She didn't expect a god to use such despicable means.

"God! Why destroy the city? Doing so will cause an unknown number of people to die."

The young man said disdainfully: "People? Why should I care about people? What does human life and death have to do with me? To tell the truth, my benevolence was added by humans. How could I change because of human will?"

"Actually, I originally intended to invite another old rival to battle. Your sudden appearance and defeating my avatar aroused a trace of interest in me toward you."

"What is your name?"

The young man looked at Lu Li.

"Before asking someone's name, shouldn't you introduce yourself? As a god, don't you even understand the most basic etiquette?"

Lu Li said indifferently. He didn't know if it was because he knew the other party was an anime character, but he instinctively felt that he should be above these so-called gods.

"I am the victor, the strongest, the one who defeats all enemies. Thinking that tasting defeat wouldn't be bad either, I awakened the King of Ancient Gods to fight him one-on-one, but so far I have never tasted defeat."

"The Victor?!!"

Erica's expression changed drastically, and she said to Lu Li: "Lu Li, leave quickly."

"Lu Li? Surname first, given name last. A person from that Eastern country?"

Hearing Erica's words, Lu Li remained unmoved: "So, your name is?"

The young man smiled lightly: "Girl, it seems you know my identity. You introduce me to this young man."

"Verethragna, the Ancient Persian God of War and God of Light. The ever-victorious God of War who possesses ten avatars: 'Gale', 'Bull', 'White Stallion', 'Camel', 'Boar', 'Youth', 'Raptor', 'Ram', 'Goat', and 'Warrior with a Golden Sword'. The Victor."

The more Erica narrated, the uglier her face became. That Boar Divine Beast was an avatar, but she didn't expect it to be just one of ten.

This one was a troublesome high-ranking existence even among Heretic Gods. She somewhat regretted inviting Lu Li.

"Verethragna, is it? Can you make your avatars settle down? If we are going to fight, I can find a spacious place. That way, I can also fight with all my strength and peace of mind."

Verethragna looked at Lu Li curiously upon hearing his words: "You aren't afraid of me?"

"Why should I be afraid? Because you are a god? Sorry, I grew up in an atheist country and have no special impression of gods."

Verethragna was stunned, then laughed: "Interesting! Then I will do as you wish."

Verethragna raised his hand, and a fierce wind quickly blew around his body.

The avatars destroying the city were absorbed one by one.

Erica said to Lu Li: "Lu Li, Verethragna is not an ordinary god. He is very powerful. This world has nothing to do with you. Leave quickly."

"What about you?"

"I am a person of this world. It is a knight's duty to protect the people."

Lu Li smiled at Erica: "Then protecting you well is my duty."

Hearing the sudden sweet words, Erica's face blushed instantly.

"...What time is it, still making jokes like this."

[Tohsaka Rin: "Yah! Big Sister Erica is shy!"]

[Kanae: "Oh my!"]

At this time, Verethragna also finished absorbing the four avatars. A pattern appeared in front of him, with a huge ring in the middle connected to ten patterns representing the ten avatars around it.

"Now the avatars are complete. Young man, where do you want to duel?"

Lu Li pointed to the sky: "Let's do it up there. That way, the impact on the ground will be smaller."

"The sky? Interesting! I don't mind. The sky is originally my battlefield. But what about you?"

Verethragna floated up gently, looking down at Lu Li.

Swish————!

Suddenly, three pairs of six huge pure white wings opened behind Lu Li's back, making him look just like an angel.

Lu Li's transformation stunned everyone watching.

"A... Angel?!!"
