Danmaku, my skills refresh weekly.

“That’s why I hate the gods.” Charles’s eyes flashed as he strode forward, dragging the “Heaven’s Mace”: “You are always so arrogant, never listening to the voices of children.”

Soma lowered his eyes, releasing an invisible divine power from his body. With a loud thud, Xia Er almost knelt down.

"Lord Ciel!" Lily came to Ciel's side, but was pushed away by him.

He stared into Soma's eyes: "You've forced the child to point a knife at you, why don't you examine your own actions?"

"Four," the evil god's whisper continued in his ear.

The beam of light illuminated the sky once more.

Soma raised his head and looked directly at Charles: "No matter what, to wield a blade against a god is an unforgivable evil."

“Evil?” Charles scoffed. “If gods are all-knowing, all-powerful, and all-good, then where does the evil in the world come from? If gods allow their own sins to go unpunished, then what makes them gods?”

Charles stood up, the Chaos Vortex behind him whirring, attempting to break through the divine grace's seal. He approached Soma step by step, the grace radiating scorching heat.

The seal has been broken? Soma was slightly surprised. But even so, breaking through the divine power's seal was absolutely impossible.

however……

A grizzly bear rushed up to Charles, who sneered and pulled a solid black rhomboid from under its belly.

Kamui, who possessed "absolute authority," vanished into nothingness the instant he touched the black scales.

"This... an assassin of the gods!" Soma's eyes widened. "Was it really necessary to go this far?"

"Soma!" Shar, his dragon scales protruding, defied divine power and approached step by step: "Please spare the children of the lower realm!"

Seeing that Xia Er was going to such lengths to send him back to the Heavenly Realm, Su Mo felt a slight sense of defeat. Among the children of the mortal realm, he was probably the most outstanding.

Why did it have to come to this? I...

"Am I... truly such a failure?" Soma looked at the gourd at his waist and silently broke the clay seal. "No. I still have it. My time has not been wasted. This will be a divine wine that transcends the pinnacle of 'skill'."

He raised the gourd high, addressing his most outstanding yet most rebellious child of hundreds of years, and shouted, "Shar! Drink it! Prove to me! Is my divine life in the mortal realm truly so wretched?"

"If that's the case, what good is this filthy life to you?"

Divine power and the lingering aroma of alcohol instantly enveloped the entire alley, causing the world to swirl and blurring the view.

Soma deliberately mixed divine power with the aroma of wine, releasing a law that surpassed divine might.

“Soma——————!” Charles’s eyes were bloodshot.

He knew it was difficult for mortals to kill gods, but he didn't expect it to be this difficult!

The strong smell of alcohol rushed into the body through the eyes, ears, nose and mouth, altering the nerves, thoughts, memories and even one's soul.

"Soma————"

In the hazy illusion, with his last bit of willpower, Charles controlled his body to move forward. He held up the black dragon scale, its tip pointing forward, and ran with all his might.

Memory blanks, neurological confusion.

All Ciel remembered was that he had to run, keep running, and not stop, he absolutely could not stop.

Even as darkness enveloped the world and his five senses gradually faded, Ciel still instinctively ran forward.

Just as Sharl was about to lose all consciousness, a series of dazzling pillars of light shot into the sky, and four consecutive "God's Return" spells dispersed Soma's divine power for a moment.

"Aaaaaaaahh ...

The immense force severed half of Soma's body.

"nine"!

boom----

The "God's Return" song, which was just a stone's throw away, dispelled all the lingering effects of alcohol in the air.

The gourd and half of Soma's body fell to the ground together.

Charles's pupils dilated as he lay on the ground, panting heavily. Behind him, a brand-new, gold-embossed sacred script appeared.

*Skill:

【God Killer】

• Gain additional constant development ability [Godslayer I]

• The ability increases as more gods are killed.

……

"well----"

A heavy sigh fell in the silent alleyway.

Charles looked up at the gods who were gradually being carried up to the heavens by the pillar of light.

"Cial...can you finally tell me? How was this 'divine wine'?"

Charles stared at Soma, feeling the changes his new abilities brought him. He picked up the divine wine from the ground and, in front of Soma, tilted his head back and took a sip.

He swallowed all the wine from the gourd, his eyes clear, and under Su Mo's expectant gaze, he said calmly:

"That's it!"

"Heh—" Su Mo gave a bitter laugh, his body exploded into spots of light, and disappeared from sight along with the pillar of light.

"Lord Ciel!" Lily ran up, staring incredulously at the boy who had accomplished his first god-slaying feat: "You really did it?"

Charles slowly rose to his feet. The grace that should have been sealed away because of the loss of the god did not cause him any inconvenience.

The magic had not failed; he could still manipulate its power.

He clenched his fist: "Is this the power of the Godslayer?"

Having witnessed everything, Chanis knelt on the ground in horror, looking at Ciel who had used his own appearance to destroy a god, his face filled with indescribable complexity.

Charles turned his gaze to the dazed Chanis, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Big brother, can I ask you a question? Answer correctly, and I'll let you off the hook."

As if grasping at a last straw, Chanis nodded frantically, "Please speak!"

"What is 1+1 equal to?"

"2!" Chanis was overjoyed.

Charles's lips curled into a smile: "You know too much."

A sting.

Blood splattered everywhere. Chanis felt the world spinning, and the last thing he saw was his own headless body.

Chapter 176 The Ishtar Familia Collapses!

Let's move a little further back in time.

Happy Street.

Streets ablaze with black flames, collapsed houses, and beneath the central red building, fighting prostitutes, dressed in loose, revealing clothing, brandish their long white legs, either parrying with knives or sweeping with their legs.

These Amazonian fighting prostitutes possess combat skills far superior to those of the Dark Faction's lackeys; even with their numerical advantage, they cannot break through their defenses.

"Have these idiots gone mad? Why are they so fixated on us?!"

The toad-faced "Man Killer" Frini cleaved the Dark Faction soldier in front of her with an axe, her copper bell-like eyes blazing with fury.

Last time, it was that crazy woman who killed people in the entertainment district for no reason, causing her to be burned alive and requiring her to recuperate for more than half a month. Unexpectedly, this time they ignored the city's guards and instead launched a surprise attack on them, who had already besieged the city.

"That's to avenge Miss Vina, of course!" A believer rushed to the center of the fighting prostitutes, his hands on his chest, and turned the switch, unleashing a surge of flames in the silent night.

Disdainful of Finn's plan, they were unprepared for self-destruction, and a large number of prostitutes vanished in the flames.

"You bunch of idiots!" Frini roared furiously, her huge body leaping high into the air. The axe blade and her weight crashed down, shattering the ground in an instant and sending all the enemies within a five-meter radius flying.

The smell of blood and burning fueled the fighting race, and under the leadership of Frini, a level 5 warrior, the situation advanced rapidly.

however--

stab-

A burst of lightning flashed from the end of the street, and two steel balls carrying thunderous roars shot toward Frini's massive body.

She raised her giant axe, knocked a steel ball away, and with a loud boom, the ground cracked from the electromagnetic shock, and crackling arcs of electricity stiffened Frini's body.

The second steel ball followed closely behind, sinking into Frini's shoulder. The small steel ball, accelerated by electromagnetic force, was incredibly destructive. After penetrating one centimeter into the skin, it was clamped by the toad's muscles.

stab-

The lightning bolt, spanning half the street, trailed a fiery tail, and with each flash, a steel ball would shoot out from Freni's blind spot.

Boom boom boom——

The superimposed electromagnetic field caused the ground beneath Frini's feet to crack and her body to become slightly numb.

"Shit—" Freni roared, trying to fight back, but she couldn't catch up with the bolt of lightning no matter what she did. She only gave up when she had more than a dozen dents on her body.

From the north of Pleasure Street, a white-haired, fair-skinned elf, innocently frolicking, swooped down, dodged the Amazon's interception, and brought her sword down on Phryne.

As soon as the blade and axe clashed, a black and red cursed light interacted between the two.

Frini felt her body become weak and powerless in an instant, and her already clumsy movements became unusually slow.

She chuckled and leaped lightly, stepping on Phryne's giant axe and using the momentum to do a backflip, nimbly jumping over the shoulders and chests of several fighting prostitutes.

Enraged, Frini turned around, only to see another black cat shadow flash by.

It was a black-haired cat-man wearing a bone mask, leather clothes, and a playful expression as he licked his lips.

Seeing the catgirl's mocking expression, Freni's eyes flashed with malice. The repeated teasing had enraged her.

"Die!" The giant axe kicked up mud and sand, cleaving the cat shadow in two. She was thrilled to see the attacker's incredulous expression.

Just kidding~~.

The black cat's body disintegrated into magical fragments, and then the two passed each other, with the black dagger slicing through Frini's side.

As Frini clutched her wound, which was oozing black blood, and was about to turn around, another orange figure, alternating feet, stepped on the walls of the streets on both sides and leaped from the third floor. A heavy punch landed squarely on her head, followed by a spinning motion and a powerful, whip-like kick that slammed into Frini's body.

The latter's massive body flew backward for two seconds before crashing to the ground with a loud thud.

"This is the target the boss wants us to hunt? He has some unusual tastes."
