I am a god-slayer, not your hero.

Gene lock level two, activated.

Pure thoughts acquire energy and transform into magic power. From this magic power, Mingxian found her memories.

……

Mingxian stood in an unknown place, surrounded by chaos, as if she were in an endless gray dream.

The sky hangs low, meeting the horizon, forming an endless gray curtain, making it difficult to distinguish where the sky ends and the earth begins.

The place where he stood seemed to be a blurry gray plane...

Is this really the ground?

In the distance, a chair inlaid with gold and jewels waits quietly.

A woman dressed in a long ancient Greek dress sat there, her face partially obscured by a veil covering her head, adding to her mystery and allure.

Her figure resembled a lazy cat, elegant and sensual.

"Nice to meet you, my child."

However, her voice carried a hint of childishness, like that of a young child.

"How much do you know about the Prometheus brothers?" she asked softly, as if a gentle spring breeze were caressing her face. "They were members of the Titans, especially the eldest brother, a great man who even had the approval of Zeus."

"He has foresight and can see into the future."

"At the same time, he was also a wise man, even capable of deceiving the gods."

Mingxian gazed at the mysterious woman, a strange sense of intimacy welling up within him, as if he heard a call surging through his blood.

"Prometheus means 'the prophet,' while his younger brother Epimetheus means 'the knower,' meaning 'the one who is wise after all.'"

The woman continued, “Unlike his brother, Epimetheus is considered a fool who acts without considering the consequences. You could say that, wouldn’t you?”

Mingxian nodded slightly, then waved.

Thoughts, when imbued with energy, transform into magical power.

Magic influences this space.

This is a world where the spirit precedes the material; one can create what one needs simply by thinking.

A white plastic chair quietly appeared behind Mingxian.

Mingxian slowly sat down, her movements elegant and composed, yet full of power!

"As you said, Pandora."

Mingxian finally called out the other person's name.

The other party is none other than the goddess Pandora, the mother of all god-slayers. When mortals kill gods and the battle is approved by Pandora, she will hold a ritual to grant humans divine power and infuse their bodies with the essence of the earth, transforming the god-slayers' bodies.

Pandora is the moral mother of all god-killers.

“So that’s how it is. Your fate as a warrior has been extracted.” Pandora’s lips, hidden behind her veil, seemed to be smiling. “If you untie the fourth knot and survive, you might become a being comparable to a god. Right now, you can only use your powers through instinct.”

Genetic locks are less about power and more about "skill".

At the first level, one's thoughts grow stronger, allowing them to control their physical body.

At the second stage, thoughts possess energy and transform into magical power, allowing one to control the energy within the body.

Although it's unclear what will happen next, it's basically not about increasing strength, but rather increasing skill.

This is equivalent to an operating system upgrade.

The powers of the gods cannot be directly controlled; they can only be operated by manipulating magical power.

Perhaps if the operating system (gene lock) continues to upgrade, it will be able to directly control these powers.

Mingxian asked, "Is there something you need from me? It must have been quite a journey all the way from the [Undying Domain], hadn't it?"

Pandora remained noncommittal: "I'm just reminding you that in a world that I'm very concerned about in my time, there is a god who is heading to your world."

"Who?"

"You can't say that."

"This is also a rule of mythology."

"Who knows~" Pandora snorted. "Back to the question in your world, that hero was simply insane. He not only killed gods, but he also didn't spare any disobedient gods. However, things like divine swords will rust if used too much."

“Wear or not?” Mingxian asked.

Pandora nodded slightly: "It's just wear and tear, but that hero doesn't seem to care at all. It seems he's planning to find someone to take his place if he dies."

Mingxian said, "It shouldn't be difficult for the God of Fate to find a successor."

“On your island nation, there happens to be a goddess blocking their way, forcing them to search for a suitable person from other worlds,” Pandora said casually.

Mingxian's eyes flickered, and he wanted to continue asking questions, but suddenly he felt dizzy.

"This conversation has to end here." Pandora seemed somewhat regretful. "After all, the forces of fate are preventing me from delivering the information to the child on Earth. But you are a clever child, and I'm sure you understand, right?"

Then, Mingxian woke up.

……

The Gray Area is a place that can only be entered by Godslayers who are in a half-dead state and guided by Pandora.

Similar to entering a dream.

Logically, after waking up, one should forget the conversation that took place in the [Gray Area], leaving only a vague impression.

but.

A vague impression is enough.

Using her magic, Mingxian directly found this "forgotten memory" and then began to slowly analyze the conversation.

"The hero of this world should be Mitra, but he seems to be on his last legs."

"We need to find a new god to take over the reins."

"However, Japan has a deity that makes it difficult for Mithra to find a scapegoat in a timely manner, so he has to look for a ready-made one from other worlds."

"Is this the world that Pandora is most concerned about right now...?"

After a moment's thought, Mingxian roughly guessed which deity, or rather, which two, Mithra had summoned.

However, no matter who it is, it will likely be a fierce battle.

"We need to make some preparations before the battle. Whether or not we gain power from fighting the gods, we can accumulate combat experience," Mingxian thought to himself.

Immediately, he stepped out of the room, the sunlight shining on him, and he felt a wave of warmth.

I walked toward the source of the conversation in the room.

In the hall, Genjuro Shin, still smiling like a little sun, said enthusiastically, "Everyone, I have some important news to announce."

The four women looked at her at the same time.

String scroll thought to himself, "Didn't we discover dinosaur fossils before? Afterwards, several important figures came and investigated those fossils, and concluded that they might be undiscovered dinosaurs."

"An undiscovered dinosaur?" The blue-haired Hana put her hand to her lips and said softly, "Could it be a new species?"

Misaki's eyes widened: "This is really big news."

A group of girls immediately started talking about the dinosaur fossils, and even suggested naming a new dinosaur.

Mingxian pushed open the door and walked in. He noticed that the women were looking at him. After a moment of silence, he said calmly, "You can only name a new star after you discover it. You need to publish a paper to name a new species of dinosaur."

"Then let's write a paper!" String Roll Heart's smile didn't fade: "We need to give Mr. Dinosaur a nice name!"

Mingxian: "..."

Yu Mei said, "I agree! Let's all write our papers happily together! Yu Mei, you can draw the illustrations for the fossils!"

Mingxian: "..."

Kaoru, speaking like a prince in a theater, said, "Then I will write a fantastic poem to praise dinosaurs. I will write a masterpiece that can move the hearts of readers."

Mingxian: "..."

Hanon, Misaki, and Naruhira looked at each other in silence for a moment.

Are these three people serious?

Mingxian sighed softly: "Am I the only normal person here?"

"Aren't you acting strange too?" Misaki glared at Mingxian. "What on earth happened to make the whole island look like it was hit by a comet when we came back from our expedition?"

Mingxian: "..."

This topic is really hard to explain clearly. Although the battle took place on the beach and in the undeveloped areas of the island, and eventually even on a reef, the entire Happy Island still looked like it had been ravaged by a typhoon.

Mingxian could only change the subject, saying, "What about Mr. Genmaki? I've thought through what he told me before."

"Wait a moment." A man in black suddenly appeared, indicating that Mingxian should wait a moment.

Shortly after, Hikaru Tsurumaki pushed open the door and entered, immediately taking the reins of the zither.

"I'm entrusting my daughter to you!"

Mingxian: "..."

No, I just want to move to Japan. Please don't act like I'm handing my daughter over to you. I really have no interest in underage girls.

Genjuro's eyes sparkled: "Is Narumi Gen going to marry me?"

Misaki: "?!"

Mingxian: "..."

what are you talking about?

If this continues, I'll turn into some hooded person who can only say "...".

Hanon tugged at the string of the roll: "Um, does Xiaoxin really know what marriage means?"

"Of course!" Kokoro's tone remained cheerful. "Marriage is an event that can make everyone happy and smiling~"

Kanon: "That's not wrong..."

The string scroll opens its arms wide.

"It would be so wonderful to marry Xiaomingxian, so I'm willing!"
