I am a god-slayer, not your hero.

……

Tony fell from the boundless abyss of the universe, like a meteor streaking across the night sky, carrying with him an indomitable resolve and tragic grandeur.

Boom!

With a deafening roar, Mother Earth's chest could not withstand the sudden and heavy blow, and a deep, human-shaped crater was smashed into it.

Its body was tightly wrapped in countless dazzling runes.

"it hurts!"

With that low murmur, a hand covered in dust and bloodstains stubbornly gripped the edge of the pit and slowly crawled out of its own abyss.

Tony stood up, brushed the dirt off his clothes, and looked up at the sky.

At this moment, the daytime sky seemed to be graffitied by a deity, and a gigantic human figure slowly appeared. Its enormous size blotted out the sun, as if it were a messenger from another world descending upon this place.

Its shadow, as deep as the night, swallowed the light of several city-states, ushering in the silence of night for the land and sea ahead of time.

The surface of that humanoid figure was neither cold metal nor dull rock, but rather flowed with the vastness of the Milky Way, as if the entire universe was condensed into one body, with stars leaping on it, painting an unprecedentedly magnificent picture.

That was Astraeus, the god of the stars.

After seven days of bloody battle, Astraeus's invincible body finally collapsed under Tony's sharp blade.

This once-powerful Titan now lies scattered like dust, its massive body gradually disintegrating into swirling ashes, like the most dazzling fireworks in the world, yet vanishing into nothingness in an instant, leaving only silence and emptiness.

Just as Astraeus's body was collapsing, a divine power originating from the depths of his massive body and soul suddenly surged toward Tony.

With the disappearance of Astraeus, the enormous body that had long blocked out the sunlight finally vanished.

At that moment, light surged in like a tide, bathing the earth.

The sun's rays, no longer obstructed, shone freely upon this land that had once been shrouded in shadow.

Sunlight pierced through the clouds and shone on Tony's face, giving him a golden glow.

At this moment, the earth was once again bathed in sunlight.

All things are revived and full of vitality.

Tony gazed at the land that had been relit by the light, scratched his head, and said, "I accidentally left the [Sun Chariot] in the sky, and it seems I can't bring it back."

call out!

Before he finished speaking, Tony's body erupted with a sound like metal clashing against metal.

He looked down and saw an arrow had struck his body, but it was blocked by [Steel Protection] and did not cause any damage.

"Unexpectedly, another deity has appeared."

Tony couldn't help but chuckle and looked at the newcomer.

Two imposing figures appeared in the distance. One wore a laurel wreath, held a golden bow, and had a bright smile on his face; the other was clad in bronze, held a long sword, and had no emotion in his eyes.

It was Apollo and Ares.

“Apollo, you don’t need to do anything. I will kill this calamity beast myself.”

Ares slowly stepped forward, raised his hands, and two iron swords appeared in his hands, his whole body exuding a terrifying aura.

Upon seeing this, Tony actually smiled.

Upon seeing that smile, Apollo and Ares felt a chill run down their spines, and an illogical intuition surged into their hearts.

The creature in front of you is most dangerous when it is injured.

Because of extreme hunger, thirst, and exhaustion, this monster draws out the most ferocious power from within itself!

The next moment, Tony raised his hand and looked up at the boundless sky, as if he were talking to the stars, his voice echoing between heaven and earth.

"Target locked, Astra deployed, unleash divine punishment upon the enemies on the ground—"

hum!

As if responding to his call, the sky revealed layers upon layers of magical arrays rotating in the clouds, like ancient cannon muzzles, precisely aimed at the battlefield below, locking onto Ares's unyielding figure, as steadfast as a mountain.

"O gods, curse me! These are the tears of the god of stars!"

The magic circle in the sky shone brightly, as if the power of the stars had been drawn away by an invisible hand and gathered into a huge pillar of light that pierced through the heavens and the earth.

The beam of light shot down from beyond the heavens, violently rubbing against the atmosphere along its path, producing a deafening roar, and finally broke through layers of clouds, descending with a thunderous crash like divine punishment.

At that moment, both Apollo and Ares felt a sense of oppression from the depths of the universe.

Suddenly, a dazzling light shone in the sky, a blinding white light that made it impossible to open one's eyes.

Immediately afterwards, the enormous beam of light struck Ares's position with pinpoint accuracy.

boom!

In an instant, a thunderous roar resounded through the sky, as if a violent eruption deep within the earth's crust had been released in an instant, shaking every inch of the land.

Although the beam of light existed for only a moment, it left an indelible mark.

The earth shattered and collapsed, as if the entire planet had been pierced by this alien force, trembling violently.

Ares, clad in bronze armor, was enveloped in scorching smoke from his body under the devastating blow, and a solemn expression flashed across his handsome face.

Despite being struck head-on by this destructive power, he did not fall. Instead, he seemed to be ignited by the power, his eyes flashing with unprecedented determination and fighting spirit.

boom!

It sounded like the roar of war chariots, shaking heaven and earth.

Ares descended like a god of war, charging straight in, with Demos, the god of fear, and Phoebus, the god of defeat, close behind. Their momentum was overwhelming, as if they intended to utterly destroy everything in their way.

Such a charge would surely frighten an ordinary person into turning tail and running away, but Tony remained unmoved.

At this moment, Tony no longer had his former weapon, and his mobility was greatly reduced. Faced with Ares's thunderous attack, he could only retreat repeatedly, struggling to defend himself. His occasional counterattacks seemed so insignificant in the face of Ares's terrifying power, and could not pose any threat at all.

"There's no other way, this is the only option."

Tony suddenly chuckled softly, his voice carrying both helplessness and determination.

He allowed Ares's blade to pierce through his body, and blood immediately gushed out, staining his clothes red and dripping to the ground.

Tony, however, disregarded everything and embraced Ares tightly, as if he wanted to bind his fate to the god of war.

"O Mark of Protection, become shackles of steel!"

As he moved his hands and feet, runes surged from his body, transforming into steel shackles that completely surrounded Tony's body.

These runes, as if alive, gathered on Ares's body, binding his hands tightly like pincers, making it difficult for him to break free for the time being.

"What do you want to do?"

Ares's expressionless face twitched slightly as he tried to break free from Tony's restraints, but the steel shackles seemed exceptionally strong, and Tony's own mass was too great, making it difficult for him to break free or move an inch.

The feeling was like having your hands and feet shackled, with the shackles connected to a huge iron ball.

Ares felt he could still break free, but it would take time...

Tony won't give him that time.

hum!

The cannon, formed by a magic array in the sky, slowly rotated, resembling the most powerful mechanical behemoth in the universe. Vast stellar power gathered within it, gradually condensing into a dazzling sword aura, which, like divine punishment, mercilessly fell upon the entangled Tony and Ares.

The immense light and heat, like a raging torrent, crashed down on Tony and Ares.

Ares's bronze armor, covering his body, gradually became fragile and vulnerable in the face of this terrifying power, evaporating and dissipating as if licked by flames.

His body emitted bursts of scalding heat, and his skin was charred black, but Ares gritted his teeth and refused to back down.

At the same time, the runes surrounding Tony seemed to come alive, subtly changing.

In addition to the original shackles, these runes also created a sturdy dome on Tony's head, like a shield, to protect him from the bombardment of the Star Sword.

"Are you going to take me down with you?" Ares's voice was tinged with emotion and anger, clearly not expecting Tony to fight him so recklessly.

"Don't be a coward if you're going to play; if you're a coward, don't play!"

Tony's answer was concise and powerful, and his smile became even brighter.

"Hmph, fine, as the god of war, I'll test my courage against you!"

Ares stared at Tony, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes. His bronze armor grew and spread rapidly like moss, attempting to block the attack of the Star Sword.

However, his defenses appeared so fragile in the face of this terrifying power.

Under the bombardment of the Star Sword, the bronze armor vanished like bubbles.

"That's what makes it fun!"

Tony yelled, and the dome of runes above his head was also breaking apart.

Now let's see who dies first!

Apollo, who was watching from afar, lowered his gaze slightly, then suddenly drew his bow and shot an arrow at the magic circle in the sky.

call out!

The arrow shot out like a meteor streaking across the night sky, heading straight for the magic circle!

boom--

With a roar and a flash of light, the magic circle was shattered, and the power of the stars vanished without a trace.

The pillar of light that pierced the earth suddenly went out, and all sound and movement came to an abrupt halt.

Apollo is dressed in magnificent ancient Greek attire, holding a silver bow that gleams in the sunlight like a harp, radiating an elegant glow.

He wore a laurel wreath that swayed gently on his head, complementing his wavy blond hair and creating a clean-cut and handsome image.

A smile played at the corners of his lips, but that smile concealed a hint of malice that sent chills down one's spine.

Suddenly, countless arrows of light rained down like meteors, piercing the sky with sharp whistling sounds, while the gale surged like a tidal wave.

These arrows, seemingly formed from countless fragments of the sun, rained down upon the earth, bringing with them bursts of dazzling light.

Seeing this, Ares instantly moved, driving his chariot away at breakneck speed, disappearing four kilometers away in the blink of an eye.

However, all of this happened in the blink of an eye.

In just a second, those arrows of light fell, carrying destructive power, and struck the dome formed by Tony and runes.

Click, click, click!
