"You could say that it wasn't I who actively summoned them, but rather they followed in my footsteps and came here."
"Camels, goats, rams, bulls, wind, wild boars, all follow you. So that's it, you are..." The boy's words made Erica instantly understand his true identity. Before she could say anything, a strange cry rang out again in the sky, its sound resounding through the heavens and earth, even louder and more awe-inspiring than that of the goats.
The environment, which had just calmed down, changed once again. A gentle breeze blew, gradually growing stronger, then a strong wind, then a gale, and finally a catastrophic storm.
The already dilapidated wooden houses were instantly torn to pieces by the thunderstorm. Half of the roof was blown into the sky, shattered into dust, and returned to the earth. The people, who had just begun to calm down, were shocked once again, and a sense of dread filled everyone.
In the sky, after the goat, another enormous creature appeared, its huge wings gliding across the vast, overcast sky. Birds often have wings that are larger than their bodies, with a wingspan of at least a hundred meters. With just a slight flap, they could generate a powerful storm that would destroy the surrounding environment.
Golden feathers, a perfect physique, head held high, arrogant and haughty, with tail feathers fluttering in all directions, exuding a breathtaking beauty.
This time, a giant golden bird appeared, its appearance resembling the phoenix from mythology.
"Two divine beasts have appeared in succession. Sure enough, you are also one of the gods' incarnations." The appearance of the enormous creature once again made Erica even more certain of the boy's identity, but she was also somewhat flustered. The phoenix that had just descended was already difficult for her to deal with.
If it were at its peak, it might be able to hold off the attack for a while, but no, it might be difficult to even hold off the attack. The speed of the mythical beast in front of us is completely incomparable to that of the goat, and the difficulty of dealing with it has increased exponentially.
"A clone of God!" Erica's words surprised Godou, who was momentarily stunned and unsure of what to do.
In her despair, the thought of Wu Feng, who had saved her with the stone slab, suddenly became her last hope. As for the claim that the boy would teach her how to use the stone slab, who would believe that? His identity had already been revealed; would he tell the enemy how to deal with her?
"Youfeng, you're not an ordinary person, are you? Can't you do something at a time like this?" She stared intently at Wu Feng with hopeful eyes.
"The curse in the stone tablet was used up just now, so it can't be used to drive away the phoenix. Fighting against a god is too troublesome." Looking at the phoenix flying around and creating tornadoes, Wu Feng also had a headache. The phoenix's specialty is speed. Even without clever intelligence, it is not an easy task to eliminate it by relying solely on instinct.
Moreover, wouldn't it be unwise to expose one's strength in front of the other party? It's definitely not because it's too troublesome that they don't want to do it.
Erica's expression wavered. Indeed, a magician who has reached this level has already achieved a considerable degree. Even the highest-level magicians would find it virtually impossible to confront a god head-on. Youfeng may be a magician from an unknown sect, but it is also unrealistic for him to confront a divine beast head-on.
Just as she was about to try again to lure away the phoenix from the sky by using herself as bait, the voice rang out once more.
"Hey, since they're chasing after you, you should at least deal with them. They're really an eyesore," Wu Feng suddenly turned to the boy as he looked at the phoenix in the sky, his tone clearly not treating the other person as a god.
Erica was startled upon hearing this, and immediately teleported between the two. Angering a god is not something that can be resolved with just a few words.
To her surprise, the other party didn't seem angry at all. Instead, they started to consider it seriously, and finally sighed with some melancholy.
"If I were to defeat those two, I couldn't continue playing around like this. But you've shown enough sincerity just now, and it would be too impolite of me not to do something. So, I'll grant your wish."
"Young man, this may be the last time we meet. When we meet again, I may no longer be the person you know." After leaving these words to Wu Feng and Hu Tang, the young man disappeared from everyone's sight with the speed of the wind.
It was only then that Godou finally recovered from the shock of what had just happened. He looked in the direction where the boy had disappeared with a complicated expression. It was hard for him to accept that his friend, whom he had a good impression of, was actually an incarnation of the Unruly God.
Another gust of wind rose in the distance, quickly turning into a massive tornado that swept towards Feng.
The wind god who once appeared in Cagliari has reappeared here.
"The Wind, one of the ten incarnations of the Invincible God of War, is indeed the true identity of the God of Swords. His previous appearance was just another incarnation of a young boy," Erica murmured to herself, gazing at the wind on the horizon.

Chapter 109 The God of Sardinia
In the sky, a massive phoenix is battling a tornado that pierces the heavens.
The tornado, powerful enough to lift a heavy wild boar, had no noticeable effect when it met the phoenix. Instead, it weakened under the phoenix's high speed until it reached a speed sufficient to overcome the wind's resistance.
The wind cannot restrain the phoenix, which excels in speed, but it is most effective against the slow-moving wild boar.
The wind avatar gradually weakened, and the tornado disappeared without a trace, but the boy's offensive did not end. Instead, a golden sword appeared next to the phoenix.
The enormous golden steel blade, as large as a phoenix's wing, was engraved with unknown characters and slashed down without hesitation at the phoenix beside it.
"It can transform into different incarnations depending on the situation, and considering the appearance of those incarnations, only that god could do it." Looking at the huge golden sword in the sky, Erica became even more certain of her judgment.
Phoenix's speed was almost beyond the range of the naked eye, but the Golden Sword was able to block it with perfect swordsmanship. No matter how fast Phoenix was, it would eventually have to make contact with the Golden Sword.
Overall, the Golden Sword held the advantage, but if Feng wanted to escape, the Golden Sword had no chance to stop it. However, Feng never retreated and continued to fight its opponent.
Every time the phoenix is slain, countless blood-stained golden feathers flutter in the air.
The moment of truth finally arrived. The golden sword struck the phoenix with an unprecedented blow, the immense power inflicting a fatal wound.
The phoenix cried out in anguish, and then, in mid-air, like the wild boar in Cagliari, the lifeless phoenix turned to dust and disappeared, leaving behind a sky full of dust.
The golden sword did not linger after annihilating the phoenix; it immediately descended from the sky and pierced the defenseless goat. Like the phoenix, the goat turned into dust and vanished into the world, leaving only the devastated and broken town behind.
Then the golden sword disappeared from everyone's sight.
The town was destroyed, and the three headed towards a nearby town. On the way, Kusanagi Godou couldn't help but ask...
"Are we just going to let him leave like this? Wasn't he supposed to be an avatar of the Sword God?" The boy's departure still left them somewhat uneasy.
"We have a general understanding of the situation regarding the God of Swords. If I'm not mistaken, he should be a military god from Persia. Now we just need to consider countermeasures," Erica said with a wry smile.
"And even if we tried to stop them, could we really stop them? They're gods!"
Godou remained silent. That boy had already annihilated several divine beasts that he considered invincible. Did he really need to worry about him?
"There are two more important things to do right now." After finishing talking about the God of Swords, Erica suddenly changed her tone and started talking about another matter, while her eyes slightly turned towards Wu Feng.
"More important things?" Godou was a little confused. Wasn't the most important thing right now to deal with the disobedient gods?
"Erica Brantelli, a Grand Knight of the [Copper Black Cross], Saigyouji Yuuka, may I ask which magic club you belong to?" Stepping to the side and turning around, Erica faced Wu Feng directly and introduced herself again, while asking him a question.
Those who could understand how to use the grimoires of the mythological era either did so through long-term research or learned them directly from certain channels, such as powerful magic societies.
At this moment, Hu Tang also recalled that his friend's series of unusual actions, rich knowledge, calm response, and even the way he used that stone slab were all things that an ordinary person could not do. They all looked at Wu Feng, waiting for his answer.
The overwhelming aura of a young girl made Wu Feng involuntarily take two steps back. Touching the tip of his nose, he said somewhat vaguely, "Um, to be honest, I do know some things that resemble magic, but I'm not a member of any magic society. Overall, I'm just an ordinary person. The reason I can use the stone tablet is simply because I've had a lot of experience."
Unless absolutely necessary, Wu Feng did not intend to reveal his identity. Firstly, just getting the other party to believe him was a troublesome matter, and secondly, if the other party did believe him, there would be even more trouble...
"Godo knows that I am actually Chinese and have traveled in the West before. Because I have some basic knowledge of magic, I have naturally come into contact with a lot of information. It's not surprising that I can use it."
Yes, I've traveled to the West, and the West in Gensokyo is still the West.
“…Since you’re unwilling to talk about it, I won’t press you. But can you answer a few questions for me?” Erica sighed. She could tell from his obviously evasive tone that he might have some truth in his voice, but not the information she wanted to know.
"?"
"What can you say in light of the situation just now?"
"At least I can protect myself." Killing the other party should count as protecting myself, right?
Erica gave Wu Feng a deep look. As for self-preservation, even she wasn't confident she could protect herself in front of Feng. As for the goat, he might be able to escape by speed. If it were true, he might have already reached the level of a leader of a large magic society.
If she knew Wu Feng's concept of self-preservation, I wonder how she would react...
"You two must have already witnessed the power of the gods. Now, what do you want to choose? To leave or to stay? Personally, I hope you will stay, whether it's the [Secrets of Prometheus] or you," Erica gently turned her head to look at Wu Feng, her eyes filled with seriousness.
"I really hope you can stay and help me seal the disobedient god, but this is too dangerous. Ordinary people and those who are not involved should not get involved, as they could very well lose their lives. So I suggest you leave Sardinia. The god has not yet been revived, and there is still time."
"How could I just leave like this? I'm not going to give up halfway without understanding that guy."
"Well, this isn't the first time I've faced a god, so maybe I can offer you some advice."
Erica felt a sense of relief at their answers. With the Prometheus Manual, Saigyouji Yuuka, and the information from her side, perhaps the seal on the god could truly be completed.
"Thank you both very much for your help," Erica said, bowing slightly in greeting, before continuing.
"There are two gods who have descended upon Sardinia. We have already met one of them. The other thing we need to do now is to find the second disobedient god, the god-king Mekal."
“Disobedient gods are dangerous, but most of them won’t kill humans indiscriminately. At the very least, we should try to persuade them to leave, or find out why they are staying here.”
Merry Christmas!
Chapter 110 The Ruins of Saint Bastis
The azure sea and ancient ruins are both important tourist attractions in Sardinia.
Nearly seven thousand stone forts have been discovered on the island, Nulagai.
Some of the conical structures, built without any mortar, are constructed from massive basalt blocks taken from extinct volcanoes and constructed in a prehistoric period. Most of the Nurakai are small, but a few were clearly used as fortresses.
The Nulagai civilization was established around 1500-400 BC. The local civilization established Nulagai and formed villages centered around Nulagai.
The first people to settle here were the Phoenicians, who were followers of Baal, and they officially settled in Sardinia around 800 BC.
Then, around 238 BC, the Romans brutally occupied the area and made it a province of the Roman Empire.
After confirming that Wu Feng and Kusanagi Godou would continue to accompany them and participate in the war of the gods, Erica led them from Nuolo back to Cagliari by train, and then transferred to Oristano, a city in western Sardinia, located on a promontory on a peninsula. Although half of it is submerged in the sea, it has been preserved to this day.
The city of Terence, built by the Phoenicians who worshipped Mekal as their patron god, is, according to Erica's assessment, the most likely place for Mekal to recuperate and recover from his injuries.
"Is Mekal really here?" In a coffee shop in Oristano, the three were leisurely sitting and drinking, eating local specialties. Wu Feng, in particular, was eating with great relish, having already developed his foodie nature. During this time, Hudou, who was a little confused, asked Erika.
"The probability is at least 80%. As for the reason, why don't you explain it? It'll also be a good opportunity to see how broad your knowledge is." Erica looked at Wu Feng, who was eating. She was definitely unhappy about what he was hiding. Recently, she had been using various excuses to make things difficult for him, and Wu Feng had gotten used to it.
After swallowing the last bite of food, Wu Feng slowly said, "Mekal is the god-king worshipped by the Semitic people, and among the many civilizations remaining on Sardinia, only the Phoenicians worshipped him. Mekal also had significant connections with the Phoenicians. Hannibal, known as the 'Son of Baal,' and his father, Hamilka, the 'Servant of Mekal,' were both typical Phoenicians."
"Only two cities built by the Phoenicians on the island are famous, one of which is Oristano. A detailed investigation of the area around these two cities should reveal something, so that's why it was chosen." Wu Feng thought calmly, "Does he really think I was just a couch potato during the time I stayed at home?" With a detailed target, there's not much you actually need to know, and the relevant city just happens to be one of them.
"Well, that's roughly it. After contacting the local magic society, we learned that there was a clear divine descent phenomenon here a few months ago. Many magicians sensed the aura of the gods, and the location was pinpointed to the nearby ruins. We set off after dark." Erica showed her dissatisfaction without any ladylike manners.
"This is the last inquiry. We're about to make contact with the disobedient god. Do you really want to come with us? It's alright if you leave now."
"certainly"
"This is so troublesome..."
……
As dusk settled, the sun slowly sank below the earth, the moon hung high in the sky, and bright colored lights illuminated the city, obscuring the darkness of the night. The three of them then left the city and headed to the nearby large ruins, the St. Basil's Ruins.
Located in the forest outside Oristano, it contains many poorly preserved ruins of Nuragai and numerous ruins of dilapidated settlements. Although there are some relatively complete ruins, it is not a popular tourist destination compared to other areas. Fortunately, this makes it suitable for the search for the gods, as the more people there are, the more serious the damage becomes.
Walking in the dark forest, there was only the light from a flashlight, and nothing else.
"A disobedient god really would be in a tourist area?" In the dim light, Godou, who was struggling to move forward, found it hard to believe. If he was here, wouldn't he be easily discovered by humans? But there was still no major disturbance nearby.
“Ancient ruins usually possess a special spiritual energy, which is quite attractive to gods. For the injured Mekal, it would be a good place to heal,” Erica replied casually while searching for traces of the gods.
Although he was in a dark environment, he could see traces of settlements built of stone all around him, which prevented him from directly bumping into them. Suddenly, a cold, damp breeze blew over him, making him shiver.
"We've arrived." In the darkness, Wu Feng calmly ate the snacks he had stocked up on in Japan. Suddenly, he turned his head to a place surrounded by rubble. Inside, there was a triangular cave, and a cold aura was emanating from it.
Erica lowered her head and murmured some incantations. After a short while, she looked up, a look of surprise on her face.
"My keen senses detect a special magical energy flowing from within. I'm sure of it; Mekal is deep inside. This is probably the entrance to the temple."
"Godō, you're just an ordinary person. Yūfū, judging from your appearance, you're a magic user too. You two can stay here together. I'll go in and scout around. You two wait here for me." Having confirmed the presence of the god inside, Erica turned to the two and said.
