Moe Girl Guardians

In the seating arrangement, Godou was on the far right, followed by Yuuka, Erica, and Erica's maid Ariana.

In the end, it still developed into this state, and Wu Feng felt somewhat helpless when he thought about it.

After encountering the rebellious divine beast, the wild boar, yesterday, Wu Feng immediately led Godou away from the scene. To avoid trouble, they returned to the inn. Under Godou's insistence, they packed their belongings that same day, and the next day, before sunrise, they were already at the train station waiting room... and then they were arrested...

In the end, it couldn't escape and developed into something very familiar.

“I told you long ago, Italian trains never follow the timetable,” Erica said to Wu Feng with a cute smile and a slight tilt of her head, showing no trace of the threatening manner she displayed yesterday.

What troubled Wu Feng even more was that, probably because of what he said yesterday afternoon, Erica seemed to be somewhat interested in him, and might have already decided that he was no ordinary person? He should have known better than to meddle in other people's business!

"Why does this young lady insist on following us?" Wu Feng said helplessly to Erica.

“Just call me Erica. It’s been confirmed that the boy is related to the summoning of the Rebellious Beast. He might come looking for you two again. As a Grand Knight of the [Red Copper Black Cross], I have an obligation to follow you,” Erica continued with a smile, then glanced at the other side of the temple.

"Furthermore, I'm also quite interested in what that guy was carrying. He actually possesses a magic book that exudes divine power. Even the magicians of our [Red Copper Black Cross] rarely have such a high-level item,"

“I’m not called that guy. My name is Kusanagi Godou. I’m just here to return this stone tablet to Lucrezia on behalf of my grandfather. I met that boy while I was wandering around.” Godou frowned and replied with dissatisfaction after hearing Erica’s words. At first, he thought she was a beautiful girl, but she changed in a short time. Her personality was too bad.

"Godou? What a strange name. Do you think I'd believe that? If you're going to lie, at least make it believable. No matter what you say, I'll follow you until I find that boy. Besides, I'm very interested in what you're planning to do by meeting the famous Sardinian witch, and I'm also interested in the power contained in this stone tablet."

"No matter what, I absolutely will not agree to you coming with us!" Hu Tang firmly objected, a sentiment Wu Feng wholeheartedly agreed with...

Although Godou vehemently refused, she immediately retorted, "Oh dear, if I used a sword, I could snatch the stone tablet from your hands right now! I'm not doing that because I'm gentle and have a chivalrous spirit. Do you understand?"

Erica's words made Kusanagi Godou twitch. Her personality was just too awful! He looked to his friend for help.

Upon receiving an unknown request for help, Wu Feng decisively picked up a book to cover his face and ignored it.

Finally, having no other choice, he had to agree to Erica's request to accompany her.

They waited another twenty minutes, but there was still no sign of the train arriving.

"Should we keep waiting?" Erica was getting impatient with the long wait and asked Wu Feng.

"Even if you ask me, there's no way to help you, or should I take the tram?"

"Let Ariana lead us there; she'll get there quickly at her speed," Erica said suddenly, clapping her hands and smiling (with ill intent).

Wu Feng said he didn't care, and Hu Tang also agreed. Since there was a quick way to get there, they naturally wouldn't refuse. They should leave Sardinia as soon as possible. Could she still continue to follow them?

The scenery outside the window gradually changed, and we had arrived near Nuoro. Olena was a small town on its outskirts. An endless grassland appeared, along with boundless wilderness.

Among these landscapes, one can occasionally see ancient fortresses built of stone—Nuraqai, the ruins of a prehistoric city built by the locals before the arrival of the Phoenicians, which have now become important tourist attractions.

However, none of the people on the bus were in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery.

As soon as he got on the ride, Moto immediately regretted it. It wasn't that he was a bad driver, but this maid's speed was just too incredible! This feeling had surpassed the thrill of a roller coaster...

The car was shaking violently every moment. At first, he didn't know this and didn't fasten his seatbelt. In just one minute, he was nearly knocked to death by the car. Even after he fastened his seatbelt, the intense dizziness made him feel nauseous.

"I really envy this guy," Hudou thought to himself as he looked at Wu Feng sleeping with his eyes closed next to him. "He's usually too lazy to go out, yet he can fall asleep at a time like this." As he spoke, he shook the glass next to him and bumped into it. Looking at Wu Feng again, he was still sleeping soundly.

It's just a little swaying; you could fall off a cliff ten or eight times a day, too! Even if he fell off a cliff, Wu Feng could guarantee he could sleep peacefully before hitting the ground...

Just as Erica said, with Ariana leading the way, the three-hour journey was completed in just one hour, and they arrived at their destination, the town of Olena.

The witch of Sardinia is also very famous locally. After a simple inquiry, the car drove into the forest outside the town. Inside, in front of an ancient mansion, there were almost no living creatures nearby, making the mansion seem a bit cold. Many green plants had climbed up the walls, telling its history.

As soon as he got out of the car, Godou ran to the side and leaned against the wall to take a few deep breaths, which earned him a look of disdain from Erica.

“Ariana’s only shortcomings as a maid are in cooking and culinary skills,” Erica said, tidying her slightly messy hair.

"Why didn't you say so earlier!" Godou said helplessly, barely managing to recover.

"You didn't ask."

"Stranger, why have you come to my territory?" An unknown voice came from nearby.

"Lord Luculazia, Kusanagi Ichiro has entrusted his grandson to deliver something," Erica said bluntly, turning her head to find the source of the voice without any emotion.

"A cat?" Kusanagi Godou looked at the scene before him with some surprise.

"It's just a familiar. After seeing those divine beasts yesterday, it should be able to adapt to these by now."

"Ichiro?" The cat's voice trailed off for a moment, then the old door slowly opened. Led by the black cat, the three entered the mansion. In one of the rooms inside, they saw Luculachia, dressed in revealing clothes, leaning back on a luxurious sofa, exuding an aura of sensuality.

(Yeah, I finished reading part of the Godslayer novel yesterday, the third volume was awesome! I need to work harder too~ Mm)

Chapter 104 Two Pillar Gods

“Welcome to my home, descendant of an old friend,” the woman on the bed said in impeccable Japanese.

All three were startled. She was only wearing black underwear, and her flaxen hair was draped smoothly on the sofa. She looked like a woman in her mid-twenties, and she exuded an unusual aura.

Magicians don't look their age, something both Wu Feng and Erica were prepared for, but it was the first time they'd ever seen someone dressed like that to greet guests, so it was still a bit of a shock to them.

Hudou was also startled. In his mind, as an old friend of his grandfather, she should at least be around the same age. The "special" woman in front of him couldn't possibly be more than 30 years old, and she should have worn more clothes...

"Young man, are you so engrossed in watching me? Is there something you need? Hehehe, this kind of thing seems too stimulating for a young man. I've been going through some trouble lately, so I can't get out of bed... I can't resist whatever they want to do." Seeing the expressions on the three people's faces, Luculachia laughed with a wicked sense of humor.

“Let me guess, you must be my old friend, Ichiro’s grandson, who has completely inherited his genes,” Luculachia said, looking at Kusanagi Godou on the far left, her eyes slightly widening.

"Ichiro has already told me the reason for your situation in the email. And who are the two people beside you? They don't seem to be ordinary people." Luculachia asked with some doubt after glancing at Erica and Wu Feng.

One of the girls possessed a distinct magical aura, far beyond that of an ordinary magician; in fact, she was at least on par with elite knights of powerful organizations.

The other person gave her a very special feeling, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what made them special. They carried a faint magical aura, and it wouldn't have been easy to detect them if they hadn't entered her magic field.

"Erica Brantelli, the Grand Knight of the [Copper Black Cross], for some reason, they had contact with the nearby heretical gods." The rest is unnecessary; so, it's for investigating their peers, isn't it?

“I’ve long heard of Lord Paul’s granddaughter, the genius of the [Red Copper Black Cross],” Luculazia nodded slightly, then a strange expression appeared on her face. Erica’s words and Godou’s depressed expression made her think of something, and she asked with a curious tone, “You encountered a nearby heretic god? Should I praise your good fortune, or say it’s unfortunate?”

"My greatest misfortune is being with her." Thinking of the various strange events that have occurred in the past few days, the God of Disobedience and the Magic God felt like he was about to collapse. He still didn't quite understand what was going on.

Then Luculazia looked at Wu Feng.

"Don't look at me, I'm just an ordinary student who came with this guy, nothing special," Wu Feng waved his hand and shook his head, saying that there were already enough troubles, and he didn't want to add any more.

"Oh? You came all this way on purpose? Godou, you really have inherited Ichiro's skills." Luculachia looked at Erica, then turned to Wu Feng and smiled inexplicably. Although she couldn't detect anything special about Wu Feng, she could sense that he was hiding his true nature thanks to the magic array.

"Let me make it clear first, I am a genuine male!" Luculachia's gaze made Wu Feng very unhappy. From the moment he entered the house, he could basically confirm that his disguise magic would not fool her, after all, she was known as the witch of Sardinia.

To avoid trouble, after enrolling in school, Wu Feng added some minor spells to himself so that people around him would think he was male, and he also added some modifications to his appearance, such as making his features more defined.

"Hey!" Before Luculazia could react, a surprised voice came from beside her. Erica's eyes widened, and her expression became somewhat unnatural.

Those minor spells had no effect on Erica. Instead, they gave people the illusion that the other party was deliberately hiding their identity. Erica subconsciously thought that the other party was actually a girl, and from all aspects, it was impossible for a boy to be there!

Could it be that he's only interested because he mistakenly thinks I'm a woman...? Wu Feng thought speechlessly.

“What a surprising result!” Luculazia covered her rosy lips, a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"Stop discussing this topic... Let's get down to business!" Wu Feng helplessly covered his face, and with his other hand, he rudely bumped into Kusanagi Godou, urging him to get down to business!

"Well, anyway, let me return this to you first. It's something Miss Luculazia left behind in Japan." The elbow strike made Godou, his face pale, take out a stone tablet from his backpack and hand it to Luculazia.

“The Prometheus Manual… truly a memorable item. After being obtained deep in the Caucasus Mountains, it remained in a shrine until it eventually ended up in Ichiro’s hands.” Holding up the stone tablet, Lucrezia uttered a name, her eyes filled with a mixture of confusion and wistfulness.

"Wait, so he really is your friend's grandson, who just happened to come here with the stone tablet and encountered the disobedient god?" Erica suddenly thought of something and spoke up when she saw Luculazia accept the stone tablet.

"Indeed, Ichiro is not a person involved in magic; as his grandson, he is just an ordinary person."

"Ugh, I wasted so much time on an ordinary person. It was such a mistake of mine, Erica Brantelli!" Erica cried out in despair. Time was running out, and she was still wasting it.

"Don't say that. I suppose you've come here to deal with the disobedient gods as well," Luculachia said with a faint smile, offering some words of comfort.

"Do you know the identity of this God of Disobedience?" Erica asked with some anticipation.

"It's just some speculation. Five days ago, I witnessed a battle between two gods in Sasari using my spiritual vision."

"One was a tall warrior wielding a club, the other a warrior with a golden sword. The battle ended in mutual destruction; the warrior's golden sword pierced the body of the other god, while he himself was shattered by the club."

"Crushed?"

"After the warrior was shattered, the fragments of his body transformed into different forms, scattered throughout Sardinia, which are the divine beasts that have recently appeared," Luculachia continued, answering Erica's question.

"It's safe to say that the god wielding the club is Mekal, who possesses many divine attributes, while the other one is probably a god from Persia or Greece."

"Godhood, Megal? Can someone explain this to me..." Hearing their conversation, Godou stammered, feeling a bit dizzy. (Following the main storyline, before it's completely broken, I obviously have to stick to the original plot... So frustrating ╭(╯^╰)╮ But there's a silver lining, I don't have to worry about writer's block...)

Chapter 105 Mekal

"Humans created myths to avoid disasters. In these myths, the gods were given different powers: Yin and Yang, Heaven and Earth, Earth, Fire, Wind and Water, Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. They possessed the ability to control supernatural forces. However, some gods rebelled against the myths centered on the gods and descended to the earth. These are the disobedient gods." Luculachia explained to Godou in the most concise and brief way possible.

"Mekal is a god closely associated with Sardinia. In ancient times, he was the chief god worshipped by the Phoenicians, also known as Baal, the protector of cities. He was depicted as a tall man wielding a club and possessed numerous titles, including god of wind and rain, god of lightning, and god of the sky. Eventually, he came to wield multiple powers. Similar to him is Odin from Norse mythology."

"Moreover, in mythology, he was increasingly portrayed and possessed multiple divine attributes. Initially, he was the supreme god of the Semitic race, the one who gave life to all things, Baal; later, as the Semitic race weakened, he was infinitely vilified in the Old Testament, becoming the first of the seventy-two demons of Solomon, the greatest enemy of Jehovah, Baal; the demon king of Hell, often mistaken by folklore for Satan and Lucifer, Beelzebub, the Lord of the Flies; and in mythology, he is also one of the highest-ranking gods."

"Thanks to him, I'm in a very troubled situation now. I used magic beyond its limits, and for the past three months, I've had difficulty even moving my body." He said it was troubled, but he didn't show any signs of being troubled.

Luculazia's words made everyone think deeply. Wu Feng had done a lot of research on the chaotic mythological system before coming here. Luculazia's words made everything connect instantly. This god-king named Mekal was probably no weaker than the Trinity Athena in real strength.

Earth's historical records are no longer a reliable source of information. There, Mekal was primarily portrayed as a god-king of the Phoenicians, perhaps also as the prototype for Hercules, a figure whose origins were passed down to Greece.

It can be said that Baal was greatly weakened. Apart from the seventy-two gods and the demon king of hell, Baal's image is that of holding a hammer in his left hand, firing a ball of thunder in his right hand, wearing a conical crown with two horns on his head, and riding on thunder. In Greece, he was regarded as the image of Zeus.

These things are not mentioned on Earth.

Athena, on the other hand, has been enhanced, her prototype being a certain earth goddess from the ancient matriarchal society of the Mediterranean region, possessing multiple forms and names. Metis, Medusa, Night, Yanota, Yatana, Asherah... she is a triune goddess embodying the sky, the earth, darkness, life and death, and wisdom.

The prototypes of most Western gods can be traced back to three ancient pantheons: the Egyptian pantheon, the Babylonian pantheon, and the Canaanite pantheon. Athena, along with Isis of Egypt and Ishita of Babylon, were all descendants of an ancient primordial mother goddess, meaning they were very likely ancient earth goddesses within the Canaanite pantheon.

Ishtar, the supreme goddess in Babylonian mythology, is known as Anat in the Canaanite pantheon. She is Baal's sister and consort, and the goddess who controls sex, love, reproduction, and war. Like Athena, she is a goddess of sexuality, and according to some accounts, she is very likely the prototype of Athena.

In the Canaanite pantheon, Anat is the goddess with the highest fighting power, while Baal is the supreme god of the Canaanite pantheon. Athena's archetype is actually below him. No, perhaps in the matriarchal society, she was above Baal, but as times changed, the female-dominated society became the male-dominated society. In the process of transmission, she was pulled down from her pedestal and became a winged serpent, a dragon.

From this perspective, among the disobedient gods, her divinity is still below Baal's. As a god capable of injuring Mekal, Veleslana, she had underestimated him.

A flurry of data flashed through Wu Feng's mind. Right now, Wu Feng only had one feeling... I'm so dizzy!! Why did those bastards in ancient times like to bring gods from other pantheons into their own? Now he doesn't even know which one is which anymore.

If he had known all this beforehand, he would never have come to Sardinia... He originally thought he was just here to watch a play, and in the opening of the anime, these two gods didn't show much power. Who knew reality would be so cruel... One trouble after another, he even began to doubt whether Godou could still become a god-slayer.

The opponent is someone capable of injuring even the highest-ranking God-King.

"They come from mythology and control supernatural powers. Can humans really stop them?" After what they just said, Kusanagi Godou had gained some understanding of the so-called gods, and his worries arose.

Erica accepted Godou's question with "three options".

"One method is to ignore the gods and cover it up with natural disasters such as storms and earthquakes, praying that they will leave on their own after achieving their goal. This is the method chosen in most places," Erica said, extending a fair finger.

"Isn't this relying too much on luck?"

"In fact, it's much more useful than pointless struggles. After God has vented, He rarely stays in one place for long."
