Chapter 313: Transformed Zanpakutō
"Bang!!!"

A scorching flame suddenly lit up in the underground temple, setting off a flame that was enough to fill the entire underground temple.

When Aize's calm declaration came to an end, flames erupted with it as the center, suppressing Mekal's rebuttal and Erica's exclamation.

The raging flames even come from the flames of Ryujin Jakka, which are blazing fires that can turn everything in the universe into ashes.

Instead of taking out the Ryujin Jakka itself, Aize only borrowed a part of its power. A flame comparable to the one when Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni released the Ryujin Jakka appeared, sweeping across the entire underground temple.

If it were in the past, Aize really wouldn't have been able to release flames of this scale without using Ryujin Jakka and only borrowing part of its power.

But after killing God for the second time, he has become a Godslayer. Now that his power has been greatly enhanced, his specialty, Ryujin Jakka, has also grown and become stronger. Driven by Aize's cursed power, which is much stronger than that of ordinary Godslayers, even a small part of his power can rival the power of Ryujin Jakka when it was released in the past.

Then, the red flames burned fiercely at an astonishing speed, burning the locusts to death in the flames.

From Erica's perspective, she just felt a sudden redness in front of her eyes, and then the temperature in the air rose to an unimaginable level. When her vision returned, the dense and endless locusts turned to ashes in the flames and disappeared without a trace.

"what?"

Mekal's rock-hard face couldn't help but change slightly.

Those locusts are not ordinary insects, but a swarm of death that is the manifestation of his identity as a god of destruction.

The total number of locusts reaches hundreds of thousands, and not only the grains, but even the iron and cement will be completely devoured, and the whole process only takes a few seconds.

If such an insect swarm were released into a metropolis, or even a country, then in just one night the entire city or country would be reduced to ruins, or even turned into a barren land.

This is the product of the true power of God. Not to mention fire, even if magma is poured on it, it may not be able to burn a few to death.

However, the flames released by the godslayer in front of him easily burned up the swarm of dead insects that was enough to destroy a metropolis or even a country?

Mekal looked at Aize deeply, then shouted loudly.

"O pursuers, O exiles, Baal the cloud rider is calling you!"

This is a sacred phrase that carries power, it is the spirit of the word.

At Mekal's call, lightning and thunder suddenly began to appear above the underground temple.

A violent storm appeared, howling across the earth.

Thunderclouds appeared, rumbling in the sky.

Then, a stick appeared from the howling void of the storm, and another stick appeared from the thundercloud with lightning and thunder.

The two sticks had different shapes, but were equally ancient and huge. One was surrounded by a whirlwind, and the other turned into lightning and flew to Mekal's side.

"That's... Yagrush and Aymur!"

Erica came to her senses and screamed when she saw this scene.

Yagrush and Aymur are a pair of magical staffs.

They are sacred tools created by Kusava-Hasis, the god of craftsmen. They embody the divinity of the god of craftsmen and are also symbols of Mekal, the god of the sky.

The former is the symbol of wind, and the latter is the symbol of lightning. The power of wind and thunder is the authority of the god who controls the sky.

"I am not fit to move yet, so let them be your opponents."

Mekal sat cross-legged on the altar, like a real statue, remaining motionless while continuously chanting the Word of the Spirit in an impassioned and heroic voice.

"Exiles and pursuers! Drive fast, fly fast, and sweep away everything!"

Two huge sticks suddenly flew towards Aize. One of them carried the storm that swept across the entire underground temple, and the other grew stronger in the lightning and thunder that continued to strike from the thunderclouds. It seemed to come alive, and without the need for anyone else's control, it split into two groups and attacked Aize from two different directions.

It happened in a flash. From the moment the two sticks appeared to the moment they attacked Aize with great force, the whole process took only about two seconds.

It took less than a second for them to get from Mekal's side to Aize's front.

It happened so quickly that the bystanders couldn't even see the pursuers and exiles, let alone respond.

Of course, this person does not include Aize.

"Om..."

Just as the Chaser and the Banisher were about to hit Aize, the air around him changed.

He, who had just released a fierce flame, now released a terrible chill, causing white mist to spread in the underground temple.

"Kacha kacha kacha——"

Wherever the white fog passes, everything is frozen into ice and turned into crystal clear ice and snow.

The ground was freezing, the walls were freezing, the ceiling was freezing, and even the pool where the spring water gushed out was freezing.

In the blink of an eye, the entire underground temple turned into a world of ice and snow, turning into an ice cave, with icicles rising from the ground one by one and ice spikes appearing on the ceiling.

The high temperature that filled the underground temple suddenly turned into low temperature. This extreme change, the extreme alternation of hot and cold, made the underground temple seem unable to bear it. Cracks appeared everywhere and it became shaky.

Mekal's rock statue-like body was also attacked by ice and snow. Although he released amazing magical power at the critical moment and avoided being frozen into ice, the ice and snow still left marks on his body, making his entire body covered with ice chips and snowflakes, as if he was in a blizzard and turned into a snowman.

Erica was also attacked by ice and snow, but because Aize was right beside her, she received special care and was not hurt at all.

As for the pursuer surrounded by whirlwinds and the exile flashing with lightning, both of them had already turned into two ice sculptures beside Aize.

"They contain the divinity of the God of Craftsmanship and also carry the power of wind and thunder. The true power of these two divine tools should be more than that, right?"

Aize took a look at the two sticks that had turned into ice sculptures, and after a while he shook his head with regret.

"Unfortunately, as their owner, your condition has affected their performance, preventing them from exerting their true power."

Mekal's lips, covered with ice and snow, moved slightly, but he couldn't speak.

He was shocked to find that the power of ice and snow actually had a suppressive effect on his divinity.

This is not a power like the Golden Sword that specifically targets the divine nature, but a power that only works on the concept of "sky".

At this time, even Aize did not expect that the power of Hyorinmaru would have some inhibitory effect on Mekal, the god of the sky.

Because one of Hyorinmaru's abilities is the ability to control celestial phenomena.

All the water will become Bing Lunwan’s weapon.

All the skies will be controlled by Hyorinmaru.

And like Ryujin Jakka, after Aize became a godslayer and killed gods for the second time, Hyorinmaru's power also became much stronger.

Even if Aize did not use Hyorinmaru directly, some of its power was enough to deal with a half-crippled or even severely crippled Mekal.

Next…

"Since you have shown your weapon, I will reciprocate." As soon as he finished speaking, a knife appeared in Aize's hand.

It was a Zanpakuto that looked similar to a wakizashi, with an S-shaped guard and a relatively short blade.

"Swastika..."

Aize hummed softly, causing the Zanpakuto in his hand to suddenly become shorter, like a dagger.

"God-killing gun."

A sharp edge appeared in the underground temple that turned into ice and snow, causing the entire underground temple to shake suddenly, and it was inexplicably cut in half.

"Rumble..."

The icy temple suddenly shook violently, leaving a crack all over it, splitting it neatly in two.

"Zhi!"

A flash of knife light suddenly appeared and hit Mekal before anyone could react.

Faced with this blade light, Mekal, the King of Gods, was unable to react at all.

Because the knife light was very fast, extremely fast.

The God-killing Gun, its telescope speed is so fast that even Aize found it difficult to use.

In the original work, Gin Ichimaru once lied that the extension limit of the God Killing Spear was thirteen kilometers, and the extension speed was five hundred times the speed of sound. In fact, it was not that long, nor that fast. Its true power was hidden by Gin Ichimaru himself.

However, even so, the speed of the God Killing Spear's extension and retraction is so fast that even Aizen, who has evolved several times with the Hogyoku and has surpassed the realm of Death God and Hollow, cannot dodge it at close range. You can imagine how fast it is.

After being recognized by Aze and becoming Aze's exclusive weapon, the divine spear was not only strengthened, but also became stronger like his other exclusive weapons after Aze became the God Slayer.

Now, the extension limit of the blade is definitely more than thirteen kilometers, and the extension speed has definitely reached five hundred times the speed of sound!
What does 500 times the speed of sound mean?
Under normal circumstances, the speed of sound is 340 meters per second. Five hundred times the speed of sound...that's 170,000 meters per second, or 170 kilometers!
How far is the distance between Aize and Mekal?

Not even thirty meters!
With the current speed of the God-Killing Gun, it would take less than 0.001 seconds to cross this distance and hit Mekal!
In such a short period of time, even a god would not be able to react and respond in time, not to mention that Mekal is still in a severely disabled and half-frozen state?
There's no way to hide from it!

"Pfft!"

The next moment, Mekal's body was pierced by the extremely fast knife light.

"Oooo……!"

With a howl of pain, Mekal's huge body was pushed into the frozen spring water by the inertia brought by the extremely fast sword light. After breaking the ice, it sank into the sea.

"Rumble...!"

The underground temple that was split into two finally couldn't hold on anymore and began to collapse on a large scale.

"This place is going to collapse!"

Erica couldn't keep up with the development of the situation. She saw the ceiling suddenly collapse and fall down. She could only shout like this.

Then, fate grabbed her by the scruff of the neck again.

"Walk."

Holding the dagger-sized God-Killing Spear in one hand and Erica's neck in the other, Aize used the Ring Spin before the ceiling fell on them, and his figure disappeared in a distortion of space.

The entire underground temple suddenly collapsed completely and turned into ruins.

This sacred place and precious ancient relics were lost in history.

…………

"Boom!"

Deep in the forest, above the underground temple, there were traces of settlement life and above the square of Nuragai, two figures appeared, as if they had penetrated through space, causing the air to make strange noises.

There were still bursts of muffled noises coming from underground, as if it was still collapsing, but it did not affect the space above ground.

Aize then picked up Erica by the scruff of the neck and landed on the square, then put her down before she could speak.

"Are you okay?"

Aize looked at Erica and asked.

"........."

Erica did not respond immediately, but looked dazed, as if she had not yet woken up from a nightmare.

The sunlight shone on Erica's face, making her feel as if she was in another world.

A few minutes later, Erica finally came to her senses and looked at Aize with an expression that became more complicated than ever before.

Suddenly, Erica knelt on one knee on the ground.

"Great Knight Erica Blountrey of the Copper and Black Cross greets the king."

This talented knight, who had been full of confidence and composure since yesterday, saluted reverently in front of Aize.

"I didn't know it was the king who came. Please forgive my rudeness."

Erica lowered her head, looking as if she was asking for forgiveness.

"It seems that you finally know my identity and origins. There is no need to continue to interrogate me."

Aize raised his eyebrows slightly and spoke with a smile.

"Yes." Erica said to Aize without looking up, with an unknown expression, "In the extremely far east, the seventh king was born not long ago. This news has long been obtained by the Red Copper Black Cross and passed on to all members."

"Erica Blountrey also knew about this, but she didn't expect that the king, who was in the Far East not long ago, would suddenly appear in Sardinia."

This is the truth.

You know, it only took Aize a few days to become a godslayer.

He became the seventh king of the God Slayer only about three or four days ago, and he actually came to Sardinia. Not to mention Erica, even those forces that had been paying attention to his movements didn't know about it.

After all, Aize flew all the way here using the White Dragon King's wings of light instead of taking a plane.

If he came by plane, then his flight information would have been spread to all major forces by now, and his coming to Sardinia would have become unconcealed.

Unfortunately, the flying speed of the White Dragon King's wings of light is much faster than that of an airplane. Aize doesn't need to take the so-called plane at all, he can just fly here by himself.

This meant that no one knew that he had arrived in Sardinia.
