He's in Marvel, working behind the scenes.

He cultivated his Qi and sought instruction from Morgan on magic and the use of hellfire.

Now, his strength level has reached A-level six stars.

Of course, this is inseparable from the help provided by the system.

However, Escanor had readily agreed to hand over the enemy to him beforehand, but before the other party could even finish speaking, he went up and killed him instantly with an axe.

This left Gu Qing speechless, but he couldn't help but sigh: Perhaps the fate of a summoner is to comfortably enjoy the fruits of victory from the rear!

"...Perhaps, it's worth a try."

Morgan looked at Escanor's seemingly cast-steel body and replied thoughtfully.

She has been keeping an eye on Escanor.

I worry that he might lose control like Lancelot and eventually fall into demonic possession.

But none of these scenarios occurred.

Not only did it not happen, but there was not even a sign of it getting out of control. It was as if, as Gu Qing had once said, Hawk's abilities were manifested in Escanor, encompassing all the power.

Escanor's spirit remained unaffected, but his body underwent a transformation. His genes contained the life structures of countless demon gods, making him an extraordinary being with various superhuman abilities such as immortality, super regeneration, super strength, super speed, super recovery, super endurance, and super defense.

Even without the sun's favor, the divine axe Rita, or the Fallen Sword, Escanor has already reached S-rank level solely based on his physical strength.

With the added power of the Sun's Grace and the Fallen Sword, he surpassed S-rank and reached SS-rank four stars, capable of unleashing a devastating attack that could destroy the continent.

If it's the last minute of noon, then...

This is already the power of the Heavenly Father.

Although it belongs to a relatively weaker level of the Heavenly Father, it is still the Heavenly Father, and it is not on the same level as the levels below.

This level of skill is enough to hunt down even stronger demon gods.

"Let's take care of the weak ones first!"

Gu Qing objected, "Whether they are strong or weak, the demons on this planet are all our targets. Even if we prioritize hunting the strong, we will eventually turn back to hunt the weak. It's pointless to do this."

It's better to start with the weak; that way, you can gradually accumulate strength and prepare to face the strong.

"But that would be too unchallenging."

Escanor complained.

"Don't be so arrogant, Escanor!"

Gu Qing stared coldly at him and said, "This is only a relatively safe method, and it doesn't mean that it can be completed smoothly. If the demons were so easy to deal with, then so many Heavenly Fathers wouldn't have been stumped."

In fact, Gu Qing was worried about another problem: the sun's favor was beginning to reject Escanor.

The sun is a blessing bestowed by the supreme god of the goddess race.

The goddess race was created by the Mother of Chaos to represent light, and the essence of their power is light, which is opposed to darkness.

The sun's original owner, Mair, was corrupted by the forbidden magic of Gowther of the Ten Commandments of the Demon Clan, ultimately falling into darkness, which caused the sun to leave him.

Now, it is affected by the Fallen Sword.

Escanor's body changed, becoming complex and multifaceted. While not as purely dark as the Demon Clan, it contained elements of darkness.

The sun was already subtly rejecting him.

If the Fallen Sword continues to grow stronger and Escanor's influence deepens, then the sun will eventually leave him.

Gu Qing worried that during the battle with the powerful demon god, the sun might suddenly abandon Escanor, causing Escanor's power to decrease drastically and leading to defeat.

Therefore, Escanor can only hunt those powerful demons when he possesses the level of the Heavenly Father without relying on the sun.

"What you said makes sense, but some preparations can be made in advance."

Morgan nodded in agreement, then offered his opinion: "High-ranking demons are not so easy to kill. Take Zatanos for example. He was born from a stone and is an inanimate object. Even if you kill him and he turns back into stone, he will regain his intelligence and be resurrected after a period of time."

"This is indeed a problem."

Gu Qing frowned and nodded.

"If he is the true Heavenly Father, then it's easy to handle; we can seal his consciousness and prevent his resurrection."

The title of Heavenly Father is not something that can be achieved simply by reaching a certain level of power. Rather, it is a title that can be given to gods who are proficient in all aspects and have reached a certain level of excellence.

Therefore, using the Heavenly Father to measure a person's strength is actually not a standard, since there are also gods who are not good at fighting but are good at creating.

Therefore, Gu Qing only referred to the Heavenly Father-level combat power as Heavenly Father.

"To completely kill Zathanos, we must find an artifact powerful enough to contain his power, separate his consciousness from his body, and seal it away."

Chapter 245 The Final Trial

"A sealed container..."

Gu Qing stroked his chin thoughtfully, then looked at the girl with a smile on his face.

"Don't look at me, I didn't."

Morgan raised his hand in refusal.

Gu Qing stared in astonishment, her mouth agape. "I haven't said anything yet!"

Your expression has already betrayed you.

The girl ruthlessly exposed Gu Qing's intentions.

The group had been hunting demons together for half a year, and they had long since become familiar with each other's habits. While they weren't quite at the point where they could tell someone was about to poop just by looking at their face, they could certainly guess what the other person was thinking from their facial expressions.

Now that his intentions had been exposed, Gu Qing stopped pretending and said frankly, "When people mention sealing containers, they instinctively think of wizards, gods, and the like. Aren't you the greatest wizard of this era? You don't even have a container to seal a demon god?"

"That depends on the level of the container."

The girl said calmly, "Ordinary demons can be completely killed with the Sword of Fallen, but beings like Zatanos require divine artifacts. I've used all my savings to forge the Sword of Fallen, so I don't have a sealing container of that level."

"That's it!"

Gu Qing understood somewhat.

To put it bluntly, Morgan is still too young.

If it were the Morgan Queen from the comics who ruled the ancient world, she would never be unable to produce a single sealing artifact.

"Go ask the Blood Clan!"

The girl pondered, "They are the main force against Zatanos, and they should have prepared the sealing artifact long ago."

"There's no rush."

Gu Qing analyzed, "With our current strength, defeating Zatanos is a pipe dream. Even if the Blood Clan has prepared a sealing vessel, they won't give it to us. We should wait until we become stronger and have the power to deal with Zatanos before asking for it."

"Yes, that's true."

Morgan nodded slightly.

"Then let's find the next target!"

Gu Qing took a deep breath, took out a parchment map, on which mountains and rivers were drawn, and red dots were flashing and moving.

This is a coordinate map given to him by Agamotto. It reacts to extraterrestrial energy beyond Earth's dimension and can effectively sense the locations of demons.

Gu Qing randomly chose the nearest target and attacked.

While not powerful enough to hunt down any demon god at will, it is not so weak as to avoid anything slightly stronger.

……

The words are divided into two parts.

While Gu Qing was happily hunting, Agamotto and Death were somewhat worried.

The trial grounds they meticulously planned for Gu Qing had become his backyard for leveling up and acquiring equipment, posing no challenge whatsoever.

The trial has lost its purpose.

Although Gu Qing has become stronger in the past six months, he has not developed the courage to face powerful enemies, the wisdom to face difficult problems, or the ability to make tough choices. These mental challenges are completely absent.

And that's what they value.

If it's just an increase in strength, then if each of them lends out a little bit of their strength, they would be at a much higher level.

They also created nighttime battles based on Escanor's magical properties. But with Morgan's staff, day and night were reversed.

That night, the man who felt sorry for being born a human instantly transformed into someone who reigned supreme, and then swept away everything in his path.

Speaking of Morgan, Agamotto sighed, "I never expected that Morgan would stay by Gu Qing's side and help him all this time."

Morgan LeFee —

Although she sided with humanity due to the invasion of the demon god, she would undoubtedly be the overlord in any world.

Those who obey me will prosper, those who oppose me will perish.

Doctor Doom used her, and she didn't hesitate to travel through time to the future, where she fought the Dark Avengers alone, determined to wring out Victor's head.

Such a person has no compassion whatsoever, so how could they possibly help others like a sycophant?

"Perhaps that's what makes him so powerful!"

Agamotto couldn't help but sigh, "Those time travelers came from different worlds and had different personalities, yet they were able to trust and even help this person they were meeting for the first time in a strange world. Even the Sun Princess was like that..."

How arrogant was Escanor?

He always looked down on everyone with an air of superiority.

If it weren't for the fact that most strong individuals possess a good mindset, and given the need to unite all forces against the demon god during its invasion, Escanor would likely cause chaos wherever he goes.

But even such a person, who not only owed Gu Qing nothing but was also asked to help, was able to calmly listen to his opinions.

The same is true of Morgana, the Sun Princess.

Ever since she started learning dark magic, her personality has become more and more indifferent, and she doesn't care about the lives of others at all. But such a person has become like Gu Qing's follower.

Finally, Agamotto concluded: "I feel like we're worrying for nothing."

"Mind your own business!?"

Death's eyes widened, and he said angrily, "Do you really think that Sithon would become friends with him at first sight?"
