I am a god-slayer, not your hero.

After a moment of contemplation, Mingxian confirmed, "You are willing to lend me a hand in overthrowing Zeus's rule, aren't you?"

Menesius smiled and said, "Yes."

No matter who it is, if they cause trouble for Zeus, I must stand up for them!

"..."

Aphrodite hesitated for a moment, but then she thought, how could a mere mortal possibly defeat the supreme god-king? She could just do the bare minimum and not put in any real effort!

"I would like that too."

Once the two men gave their approval, Mingxian sheathed his flaming military knife.

"it is good."

He nodded.

Although I feel that these two gods have flexible moral bottom lines, which are somewhat different from the disobedient gods on earth, it's not a big problem.

Ultimately, those who do not obey the gods are all mentally broken.

Their current reactions are more like those of normal people.

Zheng!

A halo of light suddenly appeared on the back of Mingxian's head, just like when the "Hand of Contract" forcibly activated the weapon to protect its master.

"------!"

Not only Nemesis and Aphrodite, but even Mingxian was somewhat surprised... Someone had launched a life-threatening sneak attack on him, and he hadn't even felt it.

Just as they were wondering what was going on, they discovered that the "Hand of the Contract" did not fly out. Instead, two iron chains gleaming with cold light emerged from the halo like serpents, flying straight toward Nemesis and Aphrodite without the slightest hesitation.

This is not merely a simple constraint, but rather the power of a contract.

An invisible and solemn force binds them tightly to the zither, as if the threads of fate are interwoven into an invisible net at this moment.

Wow! Wow!

With a crisp and lingering sound, two yellowed parchments seemed to have traveled through the dust of time and gently drifted down in front of the zither.

The contract signed by both parties is engraved on it in an ancient and mysterious script. Sunlight dappled the parchment, and every stroke and line contained an indescribable solemnity and dignity.

This is the power that Mithras usurped to kill those who refused to submit—this body becomes a contract.

Mithras's power has changed in this [divine realm], and it has started to operate automatically out of control!

At the same time, Aphrodite and Nemesis's expressions changed drastically. Their status plummeted, and they went from being independent deities to subordinate gods!

Not Hibiki: Chapter 111 This power operates entirely thanks to a bug

The power that Mithras usurped by killing those who refused to submit is [this body as a contract].

Its ability is quite simple—to sign a contract with the target, pay a price, and make the target swear allegiance.

Mingxian believes that this power, besides the randomness of the [Ring of Usurpation] itself, is also due to his own experience with Edelweiss's ability "Flawless Contract," which led him to believe that "[Severing Cause and Destroying Effect Star Slash] is very useful."

Furthermore, he was surprisingly receptive to the idea of ​​"being a leader, recruiting people, signing contracts with them, and acting together."

After all, the employment relationship in today's society cannot escape the existence of contracts and agreements.

"But why does it activate automatically and sign a contract with Aphrodite and Nemesis?" Mingxian pondered to himself, then thought of the myth of Mithras.

In the world of 235 (the original Godkiller), the evolution of mythology on Mithras gave him the alternate name "Perseus".

He was originally just Perseus—a man from the East, a stranger who rescued Princess Andromeda from the serpent's clutches, and a swordsman who slew the serpent.

It was originally just such a simple existence.

However, the careless Romans unknowingly mistook Helios for Mithras, and then another "man from the East," Perseus, was also included.

"The man from the East"—hidden beneath this name is the ancient Roman concept of combining the Greek heroes Perseus and Helios with the Persian sun god.

This was something the Romans often did: to integrate foreign gods with local gods.

Mithras is associated with Mithra, the god of contracts.

Therefore, the power to usurp by striking the string is the contract.

Beyond the contract, there was also the original divine power of Mithras, which was the ability to "kill the dragon-serpent and marry the rescued maiden".

Dragons and snakes are the fallen forms of the Earth Mother Goddess, who were once the rulers of the divine realm, and have been reduced to evil monsters.

The queen of the gods was defeated as a monster, and warriors wielding bronze and iron weapons reigned supreme over the world, while the Earth Mother was demoted to the status of a wife, sister, or daughter.

The name 【Perseus】 seems to have caused a bug in the power within this world of Greek mythology, causing it to run automatically.

"It seems to fit this myth perfectly."

"After defeating the goddess, if both parties are willing, a 'destiny contract' will be automatically and forcibly signed."

"But this contract is pretty useless!"

“It is impossible to control the gods. Even the gods of the divine realm who are bound by mythology can break the ‘contract of fate’ at any time.”

Mingxian thought to himself, "Even if they don't break the contract, I will break it."

"【This Body Becomes a Contract】has a coercive force. Once the contractor fights according to my requirements, they must pay the price."

“A contract at the level of a god is one that even I cannot refuse to pay the price for.”

"However, once the contract is torn up, it is impossible to sign another contract with that contractor."

In short, it's a great pity that Mingxian died.

After drawing three grand prizes from the [Ring of Usurpation], I still drew a useless power.

Just then, Aphrodite's trembling, delicate shout suddenly rang in his ears, like a thunderclap in spring, shaking every inch of the air: "You, you rude scoundrel, how dare you deceive the goddess of love into making such a vow!"

She suddenly rushed towards Mingxian, like an enraged kitten, raising her pink fist and charging fiercely at him.

Mingxian instinctively raised his hand, but it felt as if he had grasped a cold iron chain. An invisible force was quietly surging between him and Aphrodite.

Click!

Instantly, countless iron chains shot out silently from the space around Aphrodite, like silver meteors streaking across the night sky, sparking brilliant sparks. They swept past at an astonishing speed, like a dance of death, and before she could react, they had wrapped around Aphrodite's limbs.

The chains were cold and hard, each link emitting a ghostly light as they tightly bound Aphrodite.

"ah!"

Aphrodite only had time to let out a mournful cry before she was dragged away by the iron chains and hung in mid-air.

Her beautiful body swayed in mid-air, like a fallen leaf struggling in a gale.

Those beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief and anger.

"It's so shameful that I was actually fooled by this kind of man."

The iron chains left silver trails beneath Aphrodite, as if they were the marks of her shame, forever etched beneath the sky.

Nemesis, standing to the side, also looked grim, but he regained his composure and looked at Mingxian: "Godslayer, you said you hoped to fight me on earth and take away my power, didn't you?"

Mingxian: "Yes."

"Then I will fight you on the ground right now, and I'm even willing to use methods like sacrifice and rebirth to remove my own limitations." Nemesis's usually cold face showed anxiety. "As long as you tear up the contract with the gods!"

Mingxian: "..."

Why didn't she tear up the "destiny contract" herself?

Not to mention Nemesis, the goddess of vengeance who manipulates cause and effect, even Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, should be able to easily tear up the "contract of fate".

At this moment, the two contracts, glowing with a faint light, drifted like fallen leaves and floated leisurely into the dazzling halo behind Mingxian's head.

"You just said this is a covenant with God, could you elaborate?"

"..."

Nemesis's words came to an abrupt end.

Aphrodite, suspended in mid-air, also cast a suspicious glance, seemingly trying to find the answer in Mingxian's face.

"Wasn't it intentional?"

Mingxian looked bewildered, completely baffled by this sudden turn of events.

"what are you guys saying?"

Just as he was filled with doubt, a melodious sound, like elegant music, suddenly came from the sky, as if it could wash away all the dust of the world and bring peace to one's mind.

"I never expected that a short separation would lead you to meet two loyal servants."

The voice was gentle and warm, yet carried an undeniable authority. Mingxian immediately looked up and followed the sound.

Luo Hao slowly stepped into this space. Her steps were unhurried, as powerful as the rolling Yangtze River, and as leisurely as a stroll in a courtyard.

Her graceful demeanor and captivating voice, coupled with her stunning beauty reminiscent of a celestial being in the moon palace, inspired awe and made it impossible to look away.

Luo Hao glanced at the two goddesses, Aphrodite and Nemesis, smiled slightly, and said, "My lord, please give them new names."

"You wicked woman!" Nemesis cursed.

Aphrodite breathed a sigh of relief: "At least it's not too shameful."

Mingxian paused for a moment, then asked, "Why?"

“I will now clear up your doubts, sir.” Luo Hao said naturally, “If a god swears allegiance to the god-killer, it will become his power and become his subordinate god, but there will be certain restrictions.”

“These two have already pledged their allegiance to you, so they are naturally your subordinate deities.”

Mingxian interrupted, "Wait a minute, they haven't pledged allegiance to me either."

Luo Hao replied, "They were forced to swear allegiance, which is the power that you, sir, wield."

【This Body as a Contract】You can sign a contract with an object, making the other party loyal to you and fight for you, but you must pay a price.

In other words, the "Oath of Fate" is proof of the goddess's vow of allegiance.

They became subordinate gods of the zither.

Mingxian couldn't help but exclaim, "This is exploiting a bug!"

In the original story of "Godkiller", Lancelot, who was initially disobedient, also pledged allegiance to the protagonist and became his subordinate god.
