He's in Marvel, working behind the scenes.

In the original story, Garan of the Ten Commandments struck Escanor with a shovel, and the shockwaves, several tens of kilometers away, leveled two mountains in the middle.

But such power was not enough to lift Rita.

This shows how heavy this divine weapon is.

Escanor's choice of such a powerful artifact is related to his own circumstances.

The magical "Sun" is no ordinary human power.

It originated from one of the four strongest angels of the Goddess Clan, a favor bestowed by the Supreme God upon his strongest warrior. In the end, due to a series of reasons, it left its original host and chose Escanor.

However, as a human, Escanor cannot withstand the magic of the sun like his original master. As the sun rises and approaches noon, the magic that had multiplied several times over will overflow from his body.

The sun's scorching magic will also evaporate the surrounding area.

To avoid becoming a human-shaped natural disaster, Escanor usually tries his best to suppress his magic and keep it in a state of stillness, and then uses the divine axe Rita to absorb it, barely managing to prevent a catastrophe.

However, there is a limit to Rita's absorption capacity.

If Escanor actively releases magic or it becomes noon, Narita cannot fully absorb it. She needs a companion to use mental skills or magic to force her into a nap to avoid being harmed.

It was nearly noon.

In order to fight Lancenot, Escanor also released a large amount of magic power, causing the magic power to overflow and become completely out of control.

Rita was also unable to fully absorb it and could only wait for time to pass before the solar magic fell into dormancy.

But when Rita's characteristics were mentioned, Gu Qing had a flash of inspiration, and an idea vaguely popped into her mind.

His gaze shifted, and he spotted the Fallen Sword lying on the ground. Pointing at it, he said, "This sword has a strong ability to devour. Why don't you try using it?"

"This sword..."

Escanor looked in that direction and remembered Lancelot's move of absorbing his magic and then retaliating with double the power. He immediately realized, "So that's it! That move was a sword ability!"

As he spoke, he walked toward the sword, preparing to pick it up.

"……don't want!"

Morgan, who was stunned by Gu Qing's suggestion, finally came to his senses and loudly stopped her.

But it was too late.

Escanor had already picked up his sword, and hundreds of chaotic energy energies were released from it, enveloping him like chaos.

"Ruined!"

The girl was on the verge of collapse, saying in disbelief, "Why would you let Escanor take that sword? You knew perfectly well that sword would devour people's hearts, causing them to lose their human morality and fall into demonic ways, so why would you still let him take the sword?!"

Lancelot is already this troublesome; imagine if another, even more powerful Escanor were to appear… Once he uses the power of the sword and transforms into a demon god, he might become a true godfather.

"Don't worry, Escanor won't be devoured."

Gu Qing patted his chest and assured him.

But the girl received no comfort whatsoever and still broke down, saying, "Lancelot was just as confident as you were back then!"

"Escano is not Lancelot!"

"But they..."

"excuse me!"

With Rita on his back in one hand and the Fallen Sword in the other, Escanor said arrogantly, "Although I don't know what's going on, it's too arrogant for a mere sword to try and devour my mind."

Are you alright?

Morgan's eyes widened.

Why is there a problem?

Escanor's restless magic had subsided, and his body no longer radiated high temperatures. "Although this sword contains countless powerful energies, compared to me, it's just a drop in the ocean."

"I see."

Morgan understood a little better.

Due to their properties and characteristics, complex energies can affect all aspects of life. If these problems are not properly addressed, both the mind and body will undergo changes.

However, if it is merely mixed and lacks strength, then the impact will be extremely limited—just like sulfuric acid. Everyone knows the corrosiveness of sulfuric acid; if the quantity is sufficient, it can even corrode metal.

But if it's not enough, it won't even corrode the skin.

This is why so many warriors were confident they could wield the sword from the start, and why they didn't fall into demonic ways.

Because the initial strength of the Fallen Sword was not enough to affect those renowned heroes.

But as the number of demons the heroes slay increased, the power absorbed by the sword grew stronger, and they were gradually affected, eventually falling into demonic ways themselves.

Morgan was unaware of Escanor's solar properties; he judged Escanor's strength solely from his battle with Lancelot—he was not strong enough to ignore the effects of the Fallen Sword.

Unexpectedly, I was proven wrong.

"I underestimated you."

Morgan gave Escanor a deep look, then slowly exhaled and said, "Even so, if you use this sword to slay the demon god, you will eventually become like Lancelot."

"Now that you put it that way, I'm going to give it a try."

Escanor, on the contrary, became interested.

"This is no joke."

The girl tried to dissuade him, but the Sun Knight ignored her completely. He swung his sword twice and muttered, "In terms of weight, he's far inferior to Rita."

Seeing that his persuasion was ineffective, Morgan took a deep breath and turned to look at Gu Qing, "You're the one who called him, so you can handle it yourself!"

"Let him give it a try, I think it has a chance."

Gu Qing rubbed his chin and chuckled teasingly.

But this is not a joke; it's my true feeling.

Gu Qing certainly didn't believe Escanor could continue to ignore the negative effects of the Fallen Sword. But even if he was affected, so what if he fell into demonic possession?

He remains his own puppet.

Whether good or evil, whether human or other creatures without human moral constraints, none can defy their own will.

Gu Qing didn't interfere much in order to allow the puppet to exert its power to the maximum extent, but that doesn't mean she didn't interfere at all. Even if Escanor became a demon god, he could still be allowed to live in the same way as before.

Let Hawke avoid the sword's side effects...

That was Gu Qing's idea of ​​entering a blind spot in her thinking.

"In any case, let's go back to the Holy Tower first!" Gu Qing suggested. "Whether Hawke or Escanor uses it, the lives of all the demon gods on this planet will be sacrificed for its enhancement. Let's go find the Sorcerer Supreme and get a map of the demon gods' locations first."

"Okay, let's go back first!"

Morgan nodded in agreement.

Agamotto was the first person to wield the Time Stone and the first to develop visual magic such as clairvoyance and the third eye, enabling him to glimpse the past, present, and future.

Nicknamed "The All-Knowing Eye".

He knows everything.

Chapter 244 Half a Year

A gloomy sky, barren and scorched earth.

The lava demon stood roaring on the earth, and several volcanoes erupted simultaneously, billowing smoke and smoke, as if it were the end of the world.

"Hahaha……"

The lava demon burst into laughter, "Isn't this the human from last time? I thought you were burned to ashes, but it turns out you escaped. This time, I definitely won't let you go, along with your companions..."

As he finished speaking, a sword beam descended.

EGLS paused, her expression stiffened, and her upper body slowly slid down.

The Sun Knight shouldered his longsword, looking utterly bored.

"If all so-called demons are this kind of trash, then the humans in this world are truly the lowest of the low."

Morgan ignored Escanor's taunts.

Having gone through so many battles together, she had come to understand the Sun Knight's personality to some extent: extremely arrogant.

But despite his arrogance, he harbored no ill will.

As for the girl, it didn't matter whether he meant any harm or not; she wasn't the kind of woman who would get angry over something like that.

She only stared at the fallen sword.

The tip of the sword shimmered with vortexes, absorbing a terrifyingly hot energy from the dead body of the Lava Demon God, making its aura even more terrifying and unstable.

But Escanor still showed no signs of getting out of control.

"Whoo~"

Morgan breathed a sigh of relief before answering Escanor's question: "Egras is a demon god with considerable strength, but he is not comparable to those high-ranking demon gods."

"Then hurry up and hunt down the high-ranking demon gods!"

Escanor said impatiently, "I clean up this kind of garbage every day, my body is almost rusting."

"If you're so bored, why did you steal my prey?"

"That guy was too arrogant, I just couldn't stand it."

Gu Qing was speechless.

Do you have the right to judge others?

Six months have passed since the Fallen Sword was reclaimed.

For the past six months, Gu Qing, along with Escanor, Morgan, and Hawke, have been hunting demons all over the world. And what just happened has become a regular occurrence for the past six months.

The difference this time is that the opponent is an old acquaintance.

Gu Qing had fought him when he first arrived, so he wanted to fight him again this time to see how strong he was.

He hasn't been idle in the past six months.
