Moe Girl Guardians

"Then there's the second option: to kill the gods and send them back into mythology."

"Is this even possible?!" came a surprised exclamation from Kusanagi Godou.

"Under countless coincidences, it might be possible, but the hope is too slim. Therefore, the third and most likely method is to attempt to seal the god, which is also the purpose of my trip."

Their words made Luculachia laugh.

"It's dangerous that someone who isn't a god-slayer is interested in the whereabouts of gods."

“In that case, young man, I’ll hand over the ‘Prometheus’s Manual’ to you. You must have heard from Ichiro what I did with it,” Luculachia said casually, handing the stone tablet back to Godou.

"Was it ever done to subdue the gods in the past?"

"My body is in this state now, completely unable to use it. You will take my place and make it function."

"Wait, is it really appropriate to give a grimoire from the mythological era to an ordinary person who doesn't know magic?!" Erica's stunning face showed surprise upon hearing Luculachia's words. No matter what, it was inappropriate.

"It's alright. Fighting against gods is unrealistic, and the [Prometheus's Manual] isn't something everyone can use. Since the boy has been entrusted to you, the choice is yours. Whether you give it to that girl or discard it is entirely up to you," Luculazia said cheerfully. (I regret writing about a god-slayer... the pantheon is too chaotic! I just wanted to look at Mekal's information, but I spent over two hours researching... I've given up on the original novel! I plan to just improvise from here on out, so please, no pedantry... I'm already very confused.)

Chapter 106 Goat

What do you know about the "Secrets of Prometheus"?

After asking Luculazia about the gods, the three of them left together and headed towards the city's town.

The "Prometheus's Tome" is a magic book from the mythological era, possessing the power to oppose the gods—Erica was certain of this. However, Luculazia, the wicked magician, did not tell them the specific methods of its use.

"You'll have to discover the hidden power within these items yourself. If I told you, you wouldn't be able to defeat those two rebellious gods by just following the fixed strategies. Try unexpected methods; perhaps you'll find the key to victory."

Even when asked, they were fobbed off with similar answers, and in the end, although they obtained the "Secret of Prometheus," they did not master how to use it at all.

"I don't know the specifics, I've only heard my grandfather talk about it." Before the trip, he remembered his grandfather telling him some things about the stone slabs.

"He and some friends once went to the depths of the Caucasus Mountains, to a village where a series of deaths had occurred. Nearly twenty people had died mysteriously, seemingly due to a curse from the local god. It was a very surreal situation. Luculachia went with them as an exchange student and solved the problem with this stone slab. It seems to have sealed away a god," Godou said somewhat uncertainly. At the time, he knew nothing about gods.

"It seals a god?" Erica's eyes lit up. Although she didn't know how to use it, she was certain that if she mastered the method, she might be able to successfully resolve the current situation.

"Is there any more specific information?" Erica continued to ask, even a little bit could be of great help in resolving the situation.

Godou shook his head regretfully. He and Erica didn't get along, and he wouldn't hide such a thing anymore.

"Prometheus was one of the Titans in Greek mythology, the son of Iapetus and Clymene, the son of Gaia, the Earth Mother, and Urah, the Heavenly Father. He was a visionary and the creator of humankind, who stole fire, which belonged only to the gods, and gave it to mankind."

While the two were having headaches, Wu Feng said calmly

"Prometheus was the god of wisdom, but also a god skilled in deception. He repeatedly tricked Zeus for the sake of mankind, ultimately suffering the torment of being bound to Mount Caucasus and devoured by eagles. Since the stone tablet is called 'Prometheus's Manual,' its purpose is nothing more than deception and theft."

His words elicited surprised looks from Erica and Kusanagi Godou. Erica had already been quite curious about him while they were in Lucrezia's house, but she hadn't dared to say it due to the timing.

"Saigyouji Yuuka, who exactly are you?" The question was finally posed.

"I'm just an ordinary student. If I had to say I'm special, it would be that I sleep a little longer than most people." To satisfy Erica's curiosity, Wu Feng revealed a bit more. "Well, I sleep a little more. In fact, I usually sleep for years..."

“How could an ordinary person know so much?” Erica’s eyes flashed with a sharp light as she stared intently at him.

"Yes," Wu Feng replied calmly, casually pulling a book from his bag. The book was titled "The Biography of Prometheus."

"Didn't we just say that the gods who do not obey originate from mythology? Their powers and images are closely related to mythology, and the same should be true for magic books, especially those from the mythological era. It's easy to guess with a little effort."

"Uh..." Erica was speechless. Indeed, if it was just mythology, anyone could find it. And what she said made a lot of sense. Mythology itself is information about the gods. It's just that the data is too massive and not easy to organize, which is why she hadn't thought of it.

Just as I was about to say something more, a dazzling white light suddenly flashed across the sky, followed by a deafening roar of thunder. The weather, which had been normal just moments before, was now covered in dark clouds, as if the sky had been dyed black, making it hard to breathe.

"Is it going to rain?" Kusanagi Godou asked, puzzled, upon seeing the weather forecast.

"Sardinia almost never gets rain, and this kind of rain is almost unheard of even during Japan's rainy season. If what I just said is true, some rebellious divine beast is about to descend." Feeling the cool breeze and the chilly weather, Wu Feng closed his eyes comfortably. Indeed, this kind of weather is much more comfortable than the heat.

Erica nodded in agreement, already holding Reinhardt in her hand, cautiously observing the overcast sky.

Just then, a deafening roar came from the sky, and torrential rain followed the sound. A sudden hurricane swept from the sky to the ground, and lighter items disappeared in the blink of an eye.

In the sky, a four-legged behemoth, a goat, leisurely soars.

Its size is in no way inferior to that of a wild boar, with white fur and long, pointed horns. Even this gentle animal exudes unparalleled majesty at this moment.

Where it appears, torrential rains, hurricanes, and lightning have reached the level of natural disasters.

Wooden houses showed signs of collapse during the natural disaster. People were shocked by the disaster, and their cries and screams, even just being close to God, caused countless calamities.

"This... is this the avatar of the God of Swords?" Godou stared in shock at everything before him. Yamamoto was too far away to feel it as deeply, but now, he could finally truly sense the power of the god.

Wu Feng also looked at the goat, which had similar strength to the wild boar, just reaching the upper level of ferocity. There was a lot of lightning around it, and the power to control lightning was really unpleasant to look at.

"You guys leave first." Erica had already changed into her combat outfit using magic. The light clothing was mainly black, and she still had a black and red shawl, making her look even more heroic.

"To fight it is too dangerous!" Godou exclaimed in surprise. Seeing the situation, did he still want to confront it head-on?

"Just going to scout things out. If we can stop them with the [Prometheus's Secret], that would be great," Erica said thoughtfully, glancing at Wu Feng.

"They don't seem to be complete disobedient gods, but rather avatars. Their power is full, but they have some shortcomings, such as instinct or intelligence. Even if they can't defeat them, they should be able to retreat at any time," Wu Feng said meaningfully, looking at the goats soaring freely in the sky before Erica left.

After learning about Mekael's information, Wu Feng no longer held much hope that Godou could become a god-slayer. The battle between two high-ranking gods, even the aftershocks, was enough to seriously injure Erica, let alone an ordinary person without any magic power. It would be too difficult for someone with the [Prometheus's Manual] to deal with them.

(Ugh, it seems some people think the main character's presence in this volume is too weak, like they're just there to make a cameo, lol. They just had to follow the main storyline in the early stages. The next volume is about a higher-level world, a world that requires at least a few trump cards to deal with in this volume~)

Chapter 107 The Curse of the Earth God

“You really are no ordinary person.” Hearing Wu Feng’s reminder, Erica’s voice carried a hint of certainty. But what was more important now was the Sky Goat. Remembering the advice, she didn’t linger. A red magic circle lit up beneath her feet, and she lightly leaped into the sky.

Well, since we can no longer be complete spectators, it's inevitable that we'll have to take some action. So, there's no harm in revealing a little bit.

Not long after Erica left, the boy who had played with her before appeared in the storm. The storm lashed against him, but his clean white robe remained surprisingly unchanged. This confirmed Godou's suspicion that the boy was no ordinary person. He had met Luculachia before, and it was no surprise that the magician, even in his fifties, still looked young.

The boy had a flawless smile on his face and spoke upon meeting.

"What good fortune to meet you again here, young men with the potential to be warriors."

“Although you’re running around everywhere, I’m very worried about you,” Godou said with a hint of relief as he observed the boy.

Just like the last time we met, the boy's clothes and appearance were unchanged. He wore a somewhat worn white robe, and his face was exquisite and upright with a touch of androgyny. However, there was something different about him. If you had to say, he was more dignified. You could even feel a sense of danger, like that of a rebellious divine beast, around him.

"You have a good sense of things. With a little training in ancient times, you might become a powerful priest." Sensing Godou's doubt, the boy smiled.

Ancient times, sacrificial rites? As expected, he was no ordinary person, Hutang thought to himself.

Just as they were about to ask more questions, a loud screech came from the sky, followed by a deafening thunderclap, and the whole earth seemed to turn into daylight.

Before anyone knew it, the goat was already flying low, chasing after Erica. Suddenly, more than a dozen bolts of lightning as thick as trees struck down. In mid-air, Erica was dodging left and right, avoiding the incoming lightning. Before she even got close to the goat, Erica, with her obvious intentions, had already been discovered.

Having already been warned, Wu Feng thought she shouldn't make such a basic mistake. He looked at the two chasing each other with some doubt, then suddenly realized that they were heading towards the outskirts of the town. By using himself as bait, they were luring the goats out of the town to minimize the losses for the residents. Should he also lend a hand?

Erica cried out in alarm upon seeing the dangerous scene and tried to walk in that direction.

"Give up. Even if you go, you won't be able to accomplish anything," the young man calmly and leisurely advised.

"That girl is no ordinary person either. If she's careful, she might be able to escape. But you have absolutely no chance."

"Even so, we can't just watch her die." Erica was indeed annoying, her words were barbed and aggressive, but she wasn't a bad person. We can't just stand by and watch her die. Having made up his mind, Godou took the stone tablet and decided to run over there. If he had the stone tablet, it might come in handy.

"Youfeng, go back to that mansion. It's in the opposite direction, so it should be safer there." Turning to Wu Feng, Hutang said this last sentence before preparing to leave.

"If it were the boy beside you, there should be some hope of solving it, right?" Godou's words made the boy look at Wu Feng, and he said with some strangeness.

The other party's demeanor is much more pronounced than last time. Has their mindset changed?

Wu Feng glanced at the boy. He had recovered quite a bit. He sensed that the boy's strength had reached a critical point. If he could retrieve another avatar, he would be able to break through to another level. At that time, the difficulty of dealing with him would be many times greater.

Should he send him back to mythology with a single sentence? A dangerous thought flashed through Wu Feng's mind, but he shook his head. Forget it. The opponent is not in his original form now, and cannot be called a complete God of Disobedience. At most, he is just a combination of multiple clones. Who knows what will happen after killing him?

At worst, the opponent only slowed down the recovery process, and he and Mekal would collide head-on.

Temporarily setting aside his thoughts of danger, Wu Feng walked past Moto, who was looking on in astonishment, and took out the stone slab.

"Lend me the stone slab for a moment. It's an incomplete divine beast that split off from power. I'll use some power to disrupt its stability. The curse of the earth god contained in the stone slab, though not strong, is enough for it," Wu Feng said, making Hu Tang somewhat bewildered. He then handed the stone slab to the low-flying goat.

"I see. The stone tablet contains the power of Prometheus the Deceiver, and also some kind of earth god's power. It is indeed enough," the boy said with a cheerful laugh after seeing the full picture of the stone tablet.

On the other side, Erica was struggling to lure the goat away from the town. God is God after all; even if it is not perfect, it is still beyond human resistance. The lightning that struck every moment had already exhausted her, and there was a huge creature relentlessly pursuing her from behind.

"I was careless again. After all, it's a god. How many more minutes can it last?" Erica's beautiful face showed a bitter smile. She originally wanted to lure the goat out of the town, but now it seems that she was too arrogant.

A much larger number of lightning bolts struck, blocking her escape routes before she could even dodge. Lacking much of her senses and acting purely on instinct, the goat had been in a state of disarray for a long time, enough for her to change her tactics.

In the sky, the goat's figure drew closer, its eyes glowing crimson, as it approached Erica.

Is it as my uncle said, that it's too early to get close to God? Remembering my uncle's words before I left, Erica's expression was filled with despair. She lowered her head slightly and just then saw Wu Feng coming nearby.

Why are those guys here?! They're just throwing their lives away!

Waving one hand to urge them to leave quickly, while the god's attention was still on him but the other party paid no attention, the strange boy named Wu Feng took out the stone slab and aimed it at the goat.

Suddenly, lightning flashed and thunder roared. It was not the natural lightning that circled the sky, nor the golden lightning emitted by the goat. Instead, it was black lightning, carrying an aura of hatred and curse, which even gods could not be immune to. It descended from the sky and struck the goat.

The goat's face contorted in pain as it cried out to the sky, and the storm intensified, as if in its final moments.

Black lightning struck repeatedly, and each time it hit, the goat trembled violently before finally falling from the sky and crashing onto the flat ground outside the town.

In the sky, the torrential rain subsided, the dark clouds gradually faded, and the disastrous weather was returning to normal.

Erica was filled with joy. She had just been on the verge of life and death. She turned to look at the person who had saved her, the boy who had always claimed to be an ordinary student, Saigyouji Yuuka.

(Just yesterday at 11:53, this book's collection successfully reached four digits! I'm so happy o(≧口≦)o, so I'll try to update twice a week this week, but it's just a try, since I don't have any drafts saved up, and if I get stuck, there's nothing I can do~ Mia~ Finally, let me shamelessly ask for recommendation votes and rewards.)

Chapter 108 Phoenix

“Now that you can use the stone tablets from the mythical era, what else do you have to say?” Erica walked up to Wu Feng, looking somewhat tired, and said with a smile that was completely contrary to her fatigue.

"Yes, he told me." Explaining anything was too troublesome, Wu Feng casually pointed and deflected the question to the boy.

Perhaps she was too shocked just now and lost her composure. Only then did she realize that the target she had been pursuing was right beside her. She stopped asking Wu Feng any further questions and immediately turned to the boy.

"The camels that appeared in Bosa, the rams in Orgosolo, the bulls in Barimi, the wild boars that appeared in Cagliari a few days ago, plus the goats before—wherever a disobedient god appears, you're there." As she spoke, Erica had already pulled out Reinhardt and aimed it at him.

"Tell me your relationship with them, or I'll have no choice but to use force."

"Wait, Erica. Although he's not an ordinary person, it's hard to believe he's connected to the God of Disobedience." Seeing the two of them start arguing right away, Godou immediately stepped in between them, explaining to Erica while giving Wu Feng a pleading look.

Wu Feng shook his head and gave him a "good luck" look. It was originally his fault for diverting trouble; how could he possibly drag it back into his own hands?

"Although I would love to stay with you a little longer, there is something I must tell you. Leave this place as soon as possible. The second one will be here soon, and it is a very ferocious creature compared to the goat. It's best not to get close," the boy said to the two with a relaxed expression that remained completely unconcerned.

"A second one? Could they really be related to you?" After pausing with a warning, Godou frowned. The other person's words seemed to indicate that these things were indeed connected to him. Godou, who had a considerable liking for the boy, was unwilling to believe this conclusion.
