I am a god-slayer, not your hero.

Knight Odin nodded slightly: "After obtaining the winds of victory and eternity, your insight has improved a lot. That's right, I am the guest general summoned by the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden. My true body is still in the [Undying Domain], and I am only a divided spirit now. This body was created by copying your power."

Mingxian only asked one question: "Why is it like this?"

Knight Odin frankly said, "My copy is your reader. My copy quite likes the knight battle design and the style of the armor you created, so I used some of it."

"You are the true form of Luotu No. 1?"

"It's just karma from a past life."

Knight Odin, not wanting to waste time on this topic, changed the subject and said, "As the Goddess of War and a deity who guides heroes, the Goddess of the Mysterious Maiden needs the remembrance of warriors in order to be resurrected. Therefore, a ceremony must be held to attract warriors from all sides to fight."

understood.

Holy Grail War.

No, it should be called a battle of knights.

No wonder he just copied the design of Kamen Rider Ryuki that he just wrote down on a whim.

Mingxian didn't waste any words: "How much longer will it take for her to be resurrected?"

“When this round of the game ends, it’s almost over,” Knight Odin explained. “Before you arrived, we had already repeated eighty rounds of the Knights’ Battle. With the end of this final round, she will be resurrected.”

Mingxian nodded slightly, unable to help but fall into deep thought.

The knight Odin before them was not a disobedient god, but a deity.

The difference between the two is whether or not the soul and body are formed from the myths that have been passed down on earth.

Similar to Erlang Shen in the original story, they all need certain "karma" to send their divided spirits to the ground.

In the original story, Erlang Shen relied on "sacred talismans".

The knight Odin here relies on "Lotu I".

As for the vessel of the spirit, in the original work, Erlang Shen possessed a certain female priestess and even stole 20% of the original protagonist's magical power.

The knight Odin was created by the Nine Heavens Goddess.

If I'm not mistaken, he used the [Heavenly Book] to copy Chi You's power, and then created this steel body similar to the "Comet Demon Dragon".

Subordinate gods? Allied gods?

I'm not entirely sure, but the other party is definitely not a disobedient god, but a weapon forged by the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.

"However, their power may not be inferior to that of the disobedient gods."

Mingxian came to a conclusion in his mind.

Then, he looked at the knight Odin and said, "If there's still one round left, I'm willing to wait."

Knight Odin hummed in agreement, then said in surprise, "I didn't expect you to say that."

"Is something wrong?"

"Aren't you a hero of justice?"

"Clam?"

"For myself, for the god-slayers, for humanity."

Knight Odin repeated the words that Mingxian had spoken to Mitra, and then said, "After becoming a god-slayer, you did not become obsessed with power and do whatever you wanted, but used this power to help and save others."

"Even in the face of a world-ending crisis, they fought on without hesitation."

"Even the absolutely righteous King Mithra had to reluctantly acknowledge your justice and kindness in the end."

"Shouldn't someone like you be ready to start a war and save the world that we gods are so ruthlessly toying with?"

Mingxian: "..."

I have a feeling that this deity has completely misunderstood.

Indeed, theoretically, having obtained invincible power would allow one to say "I won't eat beef" and "protect my Earth," but World 492 simply doesn't have the motivation to do so.

Reckless behavior is either for "ideals" or for "fun".

As an orphan, everywhere feels like a foreign land.

Where can one find ideals?

As for having fun, what makes you think that messing with people is more interesting than playing games?

Don't underestimate the video games that countless people have spent countless hours and money to create!

As for enjoyment...

Mingxian can only say that most of the enjoyment one gets can be easily obtained by living off the kindness of others.

Sleeping with a woman.

What makes a woman think she'd have more fun than becoming a Steel Warrior and fighting monsters?

You're saying tokusatsu films are all stories of heroes?

Sorry, but I've always fast-forwarded through the dialogue scenes and gone straight to the action scenes since I was a kid!

My favorite director is Sakamoto, who is loved by everyone.

In short, it is wrong to judge a person as a righteous hero based solely on their actions!

Mingxian took a deep breath and said to Knight Odin, "In short, stop talking nonsense. Either revive her now and we'll start fighting, or we'll fight after she revives."

"You're not trying to renege on my spoils (power), are you?"

Upon hearing this, the knight Odin seemed to pause for a moment, then said, "You really are a god-slayer, and also..."

"'For oneself' comes first."

"However, I still believe you are the hero who saved the world."

"Perhaps the word 'hero' is not accurate."

"Be a hero."

He said, “You stole the Savior’s Blade, and that word suits you too.”

"King of Heroes! Take it."

Knight Odin threw out a card box.

Mingxian took it; it was a square card box made of metal, inside which were cards radiating divine power.

"We're still missing one knight. You can have fun while we wait."

Knight Odin drew a card from the card box at his waist, pulled open his staff, and put the card inside.

"Time Vent!"

The space around Mingxian rippled and then shattered abruptly.

This is a fluctuation of divine power.

That card was actually a page from a "heavenly book"!

When he came to his senses, Mingxian found himself in a futuristic street.

Despite the dazzling lights emanating from the surrounding buildings and the overwhelming illusions they projected, it was more like a scene from a science fiction movie than a real modern city.

The students around him were all wearing the same school uniform. Their eyes quickly looked away the moment Mingxian appeared, as if his appearance was not enough to attract their attention.

Although Mingxian was not wearing a school uniform, and her clothing style was somewhat retro.

But given that he looked to be about the same age as the students, people took it easy.

After all, in this city, sudden strange phenomena are not uncommon.

After a moment of contemplation, he played the zither, his mind filled with countless thoughts.

I immediately decided to blend into the crowd, first choosing a corner to sit down and think things through for a while.

This kind of analysis is also necessary.

Even a reckless person should at least figure out what they are fighting for, and who their enemies and friends are.

So, mingling with the crowd, Mingxian stepped into a multi-purpose arena. The central stage was large, and students in white school uniforms could be seen wielding energy weapons and engaging in combat...

Or rather, it's a competition.

There are also energy barriers around the area, protecting the audience from injury.

Mingxian casually found a corner to sit down, and then began to listen to the sounds of the wind.

【空明逐岚】sent the sounds of the wind to her ears. At first, she didn’t understand the language of these people, but after a very short time, Mingxian understood it.

Then came not only human conversations, but also the murmurs of elves and the sounds of weapons.

This world actually has weapons with self-awareness.

A little surprised.

"The land I am on is a lake city, a huge lake formed by a comet impact crater, on which humans have built a hexagonal artificial city."

"Her name is Asterisk, commonly known as 'Hexagon'."

"Such a large crater must have been struck by a powerful meteorite... This isn't the only crater; there are many other meteorite craters on the Earth's surface."

"A meteor shower, a large-scale disaster that struck in the 20th century, with meteorites falling all over the world and destroying many cities."

"As the national strength of the remaining countries also declined significantly, new economic entities such as conglomerates of integrated enterprises emerged."

"Furthermore, an unknown element called 'All-Encompassing Element' was detected in these meteorite clusters, which, while promoting scientific development, also gave rise to the 'Star Pulse Generation,' a new group of humans with special abilities..."

"Wait a minute, why does this setting seem so familiar?"

Mingxian channeled his magic power and immediately found the required memories from the soul.

Isn't this the setting from the anime "Asterisk War"?

The anime I watched back then, although the plot wasn't very interesting, had pretty good fight scenes, and it was a popular school battle theme at the time, which was later gradually replaced by isekai (another world) themes.

Original light novel...

I really didn't watch that "Mingxian" (鸣弦).

But it doesn't matter.

"Although I don't know why the world of Asterisk Wars has become one of the multiverses of the Godkiller world, it doesn't really matter."
