I am a god-slayer, not your hero.

The human and the machine simultaneously raised their heads, their red compound eyes meeting briefly.

"Predict my ass!"

Mingxian cursed.

"Meaningless!"

G1 also expressed their approval.

Clang! boom!

On Mingxian's head, golden horns unfolded, dazzling like the rising sun, while a circle of intricate and mysterious golden runes appeared beneath its feet.

At the same time, G1's body underwent a dramatic change. Several gleaming iron locks suddenly extended from its waist, burrowing into the ground like living things, firmly fixing G1 in place, rendering it unable to move.

Immediately afterwards, flames erupted from behind G1.

Golden patterns began to appear on the surface of its body, as if it were being infused with some kind of sacred power.

"Without cause, why did the golden sword fall to the mortal realm?"

As this powerful voice rang out, the [Heavenly Book] immediately activated, replicating the full power of the [Golden Sword].

Seeing this, Mingxian suddenly pushed off with both legs, causing cracks to appear in the ground, and kicked at G1!

Although all the iron chains around G1's waist had broken, the powerful force of its built-in thrusters propelled its body forward like an arrow, sending it flying towards Mingxian's counter-kick!

Forget predictions, let's just fight!

Not Agito: Chapter Fifty-Three Corrective Force

The station collapsed with a roar.

The small tram that was stopped on the track was also thrown off by the sudden and terrifying impact. Like a helpless fallen leaf, it tumbled and struggled in the gale, and finally fell into a distant corner.

Mingxian stood amidst the ruins, his shadow elongated in the sunlight. His gaze pierced through the swirling dust and settled on G1, whose upper body was now gone.

Sparks were constantly emanating from G1's mechanical body.

The lower body was gone, and the exposed mechanical structure gleamed coldly in the dim light.

The left arm was completely severed, leaving only an empty limb, while the head was shattered, revealing the intricate electronic components inside.

The sophisticated instruments that once controlled G1's actions and thoughts are now scattered around like discarded parts.

The horns on Mingxian's head were still fully extended, looking towards G1's chest.

The "heavenly book" is right there.

That was the divine artifact of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, and part of her power; it was the legendary wordless book bestowed upon heroes.

The power just displayed clearly has the ability to "copy".

Even the power of gods can be completely replicated.

Mingxian wasn't surprised.

The original Godkiller manga also features many instances of "copying" divine power. For example, the protagonist's [Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi] can copy the divine power of enemies, and the Holy Grail can be used to create false god-like objects to reproduce the power of gods.

The Heavenly Book possesses a similar power.

It can replicate the enemy's power.

Mingxian shifted her feet slightly, intending to seize the [Heavenly Book] from G1's body, turn it into a weapon, and bring it under her control.

Squeak————

An electric current sound rang out, and the [Heavenly Book] stored in G1's body transformed into data, entered the information world, and disappeared without a trace.

“That’s quite a clever trick.” Mingxian looked down at G1 on the ground. “One begets two, two begets three, three begets all things. You can actually turn the [Heavenly Book] into numbers and hide it in the network world.”

G1 calmly stated, "To be precise, it should be called 'Yi Shu' (易数), but you can also call it 'information' or 'data,' whichever you prefer."

"I hate it when you guys withhold the spoils of war!" Mingxian complained.

G1 spoke in a steady voice: "Defeating a divine artifact is nothing to be proud of. If you want this [Heavenly Book], you can look forward to the battle with Yuanjun in the future."

Mingxian deactivated his transformation. "Why did you come here specifically to cause trouble?"

"I just wanted to find out what kind of person you are."

G1 was also candid: "I am a copy of Him."

"When gods descend to earth, they form a [divine essence] based on the myths that circulate on earth, and then form a body and soul based on the [divine essence]."

If I had to use an analogy...

"It's roughly the relationship between design drawings and the product."

"My mental model is formed from the soul of His who has already died."

He paused for a moment before continuing.

"If He were influenced by madness and fell into a state of disobedience and perversion, He would likely be closer to the savage god-king in his original state. But I am not a god, I am not influenced by madness, and I retain the mindset of Him after His transformation into a holy king."

Mingxian nodded slightly, understanding what G1 had said.

A certain holy king of China descended to earth as a disobedient god, but was later killed by Mithra, leaving behind some remains.

It's probably something like the pink stone from "Mary Magdalene".

After finding the wreckage, humanity built a special computer around it three or four decades ago, which is called Lotoo I.

This computer coordinated the nation's production and distribution.

Computers also gave birth to "artificial intelligence," which is the remnant of the souls of dead gods.

The mindset is copied from the saintly deity.

Lotu One calmly said, "Godslayer, do you know your destiny?"

“I just saw it.”

"Do you know the correct history?"

"We know that this history exists, but we don't know the specifics of it."

“I don’t know either,” Lotu-1 explained. “I don’t know the meaning of ‘correct history.’ The only certainty is that the power of fate will push history in the direction of ‘correct history.’”

Mingxian nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

In the world of Godkiller, there is indeed a special god known as the "Fate Driver." They are often gods of destiny who push earth's history in the "right" direction.

“You can call this power ‘corrective force’,” Lotu-1 continued. “Corrective force is a broad concept, and its sources vary.”

"Gods, god-slayers, humans, time... all can become sources of corrective power."

"If one day, the gods want to destroy history, the power of correction might even help the god-slayer."

"Similarly, the reason why disobedient gods who come to earth gradually fall into madness may also be due to the effect of the corrective force."

"at the same time……"

Luotu-1 suddenly stopped.

Mingxian continued, "Corrective power is also the source of the final king's power."

"Is such that."

Lotu One was somewhat surprised, never expecting that the Godslayer known as "The Fool" in the multiverse would possess such wisdom.

But it was only a moment of surprise.

It continued, "For the world, the birth of a god-slayer is beyond the rules."

"It is an emergency situation that would never happen or could not happen in the history of the world."

"For example, more than four hundred years ago, a god-slayer was born in the Ming Dynasty. He conquered the Mongolian grasslands and various military commanderies in Liaodong with overwhelming power, implemented Han laws, forced the people under his territory to change their names to Han names, and then prepared to overthrow the most powerful empire in the world at that time."

"And the Americas, Europe, Africa..."

"The god-killers influence history with their overwhelming power. Even though the corrective force has restored it and brought history back to its original direction, there are still limits."

"In order to correct this 'irregularity' and perfect the original history, Mingfu summoned the hero Miroku and gave him the Platinum Blade."

"At the same time, the corrective force provides temporary support, granting sword-attribute heroes the privilege of annihilating the Demon King."

"That is, the 'Covenant Law'."

The so-called "Covenant Law" is actually the ability of the Last King to increase his own curse power by increasing the number of god-slayers in his base.

In the original work, there are seven Godslayers on Earth. The Last King's curse power is ten times that of ordinary Godslayers, his attack power is about a thousand times that of Godslayers, and his defense power is about five hundred times that of ordinary Godslayers.

However, this is not within the scope of Mingxian's consideration.

He is the only god-slayer in this world.

One-on-one duel.

The only thing to worry about is the God of Salvation Blade.

but……

"According to your logic, history should have gradually returned to normal after a slight deviation four hundred years ago, but after the 'Calamity of the Beast' one hundred and fifty years ago, the Marseille earthquake in ordinary people's history, history has completely deviated, hasn't it?"

Mingxian raised a question.

The world in which the original story takes place should be largely the same as the world before he traveled through time.

If that is considered the "correct history," then the current world, where "Mithra is the last king," has completely deviated from the "correct history."

Although it cannot be described as paradise on earth.

However, peace and prosperity are the main themes.

It's a perfect world for stories aimed at children; it's a reflection of that world!

Putting aside other factors, just considering Japan itself, in this world's timeline, the anti-shogunate movement directly abolished the monarchy, and afterwards, it adhered to a strategy of peaceful development...

It doesn't seem like "correct history" at all.

Lotu No. 1's tone became unfathomable: "This is just the hero's personal opinion."

"He prioritized eliminating god-killers, even those who disobeyed him, while turning a blind eye to the deviations in history."

"In order to eliminate the god-slayer, he can abandon the 'duty of destiny'."
