Moe Girl Guardians

With a speed that no ordinary person could keep up with, Wu Feng instantly appeared beside Erica and gave her a hard knock on the head.

"Ooh!" Erica let out a cute whimper after being hit hard, tears welling up in her eyes. She covered her injured area with her delicate hand, as the merciless blows had caused her considerable pain.

"Don't take on everything yourself. You can't handle everything, especially things related to God." After leaving these words, Wu Feng was the first to enter the tunnel.

Erica's previous actions, including using herself as bait, had left him with a considerable goodwill. Moreover, she was an anime girl he used to like. Now that he had decided to take action, he couldn't let her run wild anymore.

After Wu Feng entered, Hu Tang also entered the tunnel, leaving Erica alone, who had not yet gone in.

Erica rubbed the spot where she had been hit, her eyes gleaming with surprise. Wu Feng's actions had truly startled her; he had moved to her side without her noticing, leaving her utterly defenseless. If he had acted with malice, she might already be dead. After a moment, Erica also entered the tunnel. The light disappeared, and the ruins of Saint Basil were once again shrouded in darkness. (What are you all doing for Christmas? Please vote!

Chapter 111 Looking Directly at God

The road leading to the temple is also cleverly constructed of stacked stones, a sight that is hard to imagine was completed by people thousands of years ago, solemn and majestic.

The air flowing underground was somewhat humid, which is almost impossible given Sardinia's geographical environment, suggesting there might be underground water or something similar inside.

"If you encounter any unexpected dangers while following us, don't blame me for not warning you. Although the Disobedient Gods are not like divine beasts, destroying everything without reason and killing anyone they meet immediately, they are not benevolent beings. It is perfectly normal for them to kill someone in anger over a single sentence; otherwise, they wouldn't have become Disobedient Gods." Erica reminded everyone as they entered the tunnel.

"Don't worry, I do have some understanding of God."

……

The tunnel was longer than expected; it took the group nearly ten minutes to finally reach the end and enter the temple grounds.

Perhaps they are a people who regard water as sacred. In the center of the temple, clear underground spring water gushes out. This must be the deity they worship. Years of worship have given it a special aura. Perhaps it will become a mythical beast in the future.

"Humans already destined for death, what purpose have you come here for?" A deep, rumbling voice rang out, as powerful as lightning striking the sky. Even the ordinary Godou paled slightly upon hearing it.

Unlike the boy, who was not fully merged but merely a clone, the one who appeared before everyone was a complete and flawless true god descended from mythology.

He was right beside the spring, a burly man sitting on the altar, his thick beard covering half his face, only his deep eyes visible. He wore leather armor and a tattered cloak, yet exuded an indescribable majesty.

Even while sitting, he was already taller than Erica, and if he stood up, he would be at least three meters tall. His body was covered with bulging muscles, and the word "fierce" was completely imprinted in everyone's minds.

Even Wu Feng had never seen such solid and well-proportioned muscles before. They were nothing like the artificial swelling of bodybuilders. Every muscle gave people a solid feeling and could provide tremendous power. Just looking at them was very dignified, and they could even be called perfect muscles.

On his chest was a broken golden sword, just like the one seen before, which had pierced through the armor and was deeply embedded in the giant's chest.

"Come on, answer my question and show the proper respect to God, or do you think that God's majesty is completely disregardable?" the giant asked the three with a smile. Erica knew that if she said even the slightest wrong word, she would face the wrath of God.

"Revered God, we have come here in search of you," Erica said, suppressing her fear and bowing slightly to the giant.

"You came all this way to see me? Then you should know my name, or perhaps you want me to come from the registration number?" The giant's voice remained unchanged, like the calm before a storm.

"Your Majesty must be Mekal, the god-king of the Phoenicians," Erica replied as always.

“Yes, I also like the name Baal, but on the island, I should be called Mekar, hahahaha.” Erica’s answer made the giant laugh loudly. The king’s laughter made the entire temple tremble, and dust leaked out from the cracks.

Wu Feng could see that Erica and Godou were trembling beneath the laughter. This was understandable, after all, they were God Kings, even among the disobedient gods, they were at the top, and every move they made could destroy a city.

It would be almost impossible for someone of insufficient strength to face him normally; it would be quite remarkable if they didn't faint from fright.

"In response to your claim of a title, state your purpose."

"What is the purpose of your descent?" Amidst the laughter, Erica found it difficult to continue conversing with the god. Wu Feng asked naturally. If the other party were not injured, she might have been able to put a lot of pressure on him. However, due to her injury, her strength had been suppressed to below the Berserker level.

This immediately drew Erica's attention. To speak to a god in such a tone was almost like asking a question. Wasn't he afraid of provoking the god's wrath?

Wu Feng's voice drew the attention of Mekar, whose stern eyes lingered on him for a long time before finally leaving.

"This island was once part of my territory, but it was later occupied by unidentified people, which pained me deeply. Now that it has been awakened, I must let the foolish people of the world know what the consequences of offending God are. I have decided to use my own hands to cleanse it and sink it into the sea."

“Sink into the sea!” Mekal’s words shocked Erica, and she forgot her physical fear and couldn’t help but cry out.

"Just like you humans, you wash your things with water when they get dirty, I will also use seawater to wake up the foolish humans in my territory!" Mekar's voice was filled with anger, and the spring water around him trembled because of his words, and began to stop intermittently.

Hearing his angry reply, Erica's face turned ashen. But no matter how angry she was, no one had the right to defy God. She couldn't tolerate a single complaint. If she were to say it, they would probably all be left here.

Is there absolutely no possibility of mediation?

Of the three, only Wu Feng could maintain his composure and continue his conversation with the god.

"I will show no mercy to bandits who trespass into my territory."

"I should rest now to prepare for the upcoming battle. I will also set up some barriers to prevent intrusion. You all leave quickly and tell the people on the ground that I, Mekal, will personally punish them!"

After saying this, Mekal collapsed onto the altar behind him, as if he were asleep.

Wu Feng immediately grabbed the two people beside him and walked outside. Since Mekar fell into slumber, certain extremely famous creatures had begun to appear.

Countless locusts, tens, hundreds, thousands, and millions, swarmed out of the temple, chasing after the three of them.

"Why are locusts here?" Godou exclaimed in astonishment as he ran.

“Mekal holds many positions, and is also the god of harvest. The locusts that devour the grain are a symbol of his majesty,” Wu Feng replied. At this moment, he stopped running and began to float up. Running was indeed too troublesome.

"You two go first, I'll hold them off for a bit," Wu Feng said to the two of them as he floated in mid-air.

"There are countless locusts behind us, this is not the time to be a hero." Seeing Wu Feng stop, Erica stopped in a panic, intending to pull him away by force, but when she touched Wu Feng again, it was as if she was dragging a stone, with no reaction.

Then she looked behind her in surprise. Countless locusts seemed to have crashed into a wall, and their speed suddenly stopped. Or rather, they were moving at an extremely slow pace, and even though those behind them kept moving forward, they could not accelerate in the slightest.

Looking at Wu Feng, Erica noticed that his eyes had somehow turned into a mesmerizing azure color, and in that instant, she felt a power that did not belong to a god.

"You two go out first, I'll be there shortly," Wu Feng said to the two of them once again. (A few more chapters and it'll be time for Youfeng to unleash his power~~)

Chapter 112 Bewilderment

After confirming that Erica and Godou had left the tunnel and returned to the surface, Wu Feng finally began to float towards the exit.

As long as it is within his line of sight, all living things will be slowed down, and the locusts can only watch him leave helplessly.

"If only it worked on gods too," Wu Feng thought greedily. After all, sudden pressure could often be used as a trump card, and in situations where the strength was similar, it could completely turn the tide.

Unfortunately, the gods in the Godslayer world have such overpowered magic that even the lowest-ranking divine beasts might not be affected by the [Slow Magic Eye], let alone the highest-ranking gods, who would probably only be able to influence them for a moment at most.

"If only I had the Petrifying Mystic Eyes," Wu Feng thought subconsciously, recalling the Petrifying Mystic Eyes, the first Mystic Eye in the Type-Moon world. If he had it, most gods would probably be petrified directly, and even high-ranking gods would be subjected to intense pressure.

Discarding his frivolous thoughts, Wu Feng calmly left the tunnel and returned to the surface of the Saint Basti Ruins. The scene before him surprised him. Erica, who had always been a proud and confident girl in his eyes, was now sitting dejectedly against the rocks of the ruins, her head buried in her knees, a far cry from her former confident self.

At the same time, Godou, who often does irrational things due to impulsiveness, is also in a similar state, feeling shocked, lost, and even a little desperate after being hit by a huge shock.

"Is that a god? It's an unimaginable shock. Now that we've confirmed his location, what should we do next? Should we figure out a way to deal with him?" Seeing Wu Feng emerge from the tunnel, Godou regained some of his composure and said in a somewhat self-deprecating tone.

“No, if we anger Mekal, we’ll all die.” Wu Feng’s return brought a hint of joy to her eyes, and she looked up to deny Godou’s statement.

But Wu Feng could see the disappointment in her eyes, the despair of shattered hope, and her body still trembling slightly.

"Do you want to give up?" Looking at Erica, who had completely changed, Wu Feng only said one sentence.

Erica lowered her head again, burying her stunning beauty in her knees, remaining silent for a long while before her voice gradually emerged.

"Before coming to Sardinia, I believed I was capable of facing the gods, of sealing them away, and even considered returning them to mythology."

"When I first encountered the divine beasts, I thought they were gods—powerful, with unparalleled destructive power, and incomparably majestic. But I still have the confidence that, with sufficient preparation, I can seal them away."

“I only realized I was wrong just now. I never understood what the God of Disobedience really was.” Erica’s voice trembled as she said this. For her, who had been a genius since childhood and had almost never failed, the impact of facing the highest god was far greater than that of others.

"That is the supreme king, the god who manipulates the world in mythology. Before Mekal, I can do nothing, I am powerless to resist the words of the god, I don't even dare to speak loudly, I can only accept the judgment of the god."

“Why! I want to argue with him, tell him you’re wrong, that Sardinia doesn’t belong to you, that it will never work, but I can’t. My body is trembling, and the words are on the tip of my tongue, but I can’t say them.” Erica’s voice rose, and her trembling became more and more pronounced.

"Why! Why... Youfeng, you can talk to God like you would to an ordinary person, tell me... why is that?" Erica raised her head again, her perfect face covered with tears, and her voice was trembling with sobs.

Wu Feng remained silent. This was something he hadn't anticipated. The influence of the high-ranking disobedient god on Erica was beyond his imagination. At most, an ordinary person's guardian spirit would feel lost, but Erica's current state was something he couldn't even begin to comprehend.

"Perhaps Uncle is right. It's too early to face God now. We shouldn't have come here in the first place..." Erica said to herself in a low voice, seeing that Wu Feng did not answer.

"Do you still want to continue this journey?" Wu Feng asked Erica after a moment of silence.

"Of course I wanted to, that was my initial goal, but I don't have the ability to face God... so how could I possibly stop them..."

At least there was no complete despair. Wu Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Erica was still very strong after all. Most magicians would probably be completely defeated after facing a god.

"Sealing God, what is the worst-case scenario you envision?"

"...The seal failed, and I will be destroyed." After closing her eyes and recalling for a moment, a resolute look appeared in Erica's eyes as she spoke of the worst-case scenario she had made before coming here: to use her life to buy time and wait for the human king.

"If that's the case, why are you still afraid to face God? Angering Him only means death. If you're even prepared to die, what is there to fear?"

Erica was confused, seemingly not understanding why she feared God. However, Wu Feng saw this and understood something, so he gave her a strong dose of medicine.

What is your opinion of those who do not obey a god?

“Those who have abandoned their original duties and descended from mythology to the earth are disobedient. Wherever they go, natural disasters will strike, and their anger will destroy everything. Humanity has no power to resist…” Although she was puzzled as to why Wu Feng asked this question, Erica still answered truthfully.

"Wrong"

"The gods who do not obey originate from mythology, and mythology is a story created by humankind. In the end, gods are just a group of special beings that appear based on human imagination. Because of human desires, they have acquired the power to control the wind and rain, with the purpose of serving humankind. Why should we fear them?"

Wu Feng's words caught her off guard, and she looked bewildered. In the [Red Copper Black Cross], even enemies held respect for disobedient gods, and no one could utter such blasphemous words.

“You must understand that the creatures created by humans are planning to destroy the entire island. If we fail, everyone on the island will perish with us. If we don’t resist, we will die,” Wu Feng said, staring into Erica’s eyes.

Erica's expression shifted repeatedly, finally closing her eyes and letting out a deep sigh. "It seems I've been getting too caught up in things, and it's only made things more confusing."

"Then tell me, Erica, are you going to continue blocking God?"

"Of course, I won't let Meka get her way," the confident voice rang out again. She had now transformed back into the Erica that Wu Feng once knew.

"Where's the guard?"

"I still need to go find that guy and get some answers," came the smiling reply. After hearing Wu Feng's words, Godou, who was less affected, recovered earlier than Erica. (Received a long-awaited recommendation message; looks like I'll have to update twice next week~)

Chapter 113 The Reincarnator

"What should we do next?" Erica, who had recovered, looked at Wu Feng. After recent events, Wu Feng had become increasingly mysterious in her mind. Whether it was his strange magic or his calmness in dealing with the gods, he intrigued her, and she unconsciously began to ask Wu Feng for his opinion.

"Let's give up on Mekal for now. I just heard him say that he sets up some barriers to prevent sneak attacks when he's asleep. His opponent is the God of Swords. The barriers that can stop him won't be so easy to break," Wu Feng suggested to Erica after thinking for a moment.

The locusts in the passage alone are troublesome enough to clear out, and this is only one of his powers. Finding Mekal again will definitely not be easy.

"Should we search for the God of Swords?" Godou suggested from beside the two.

“No, even if we find him, there’s nothing we can do. After all, he’s a god on par with Mekal. There’s still a chance to defeat him in Cagliari. Camel, Goat, Ram, Bull, Gale, Phoenix, Wild Boar, Boy, Warrior—he’s already gathered nine avatars. His strength might even be stronger than Mekal’s current strength.” Wu Feng shook his head and continued to deny it. Fighting Vereslana at full power wouldn’t be much easier than fighting Mekal, and it wasn’t a suitable choice.

"So what should we do now?"

"Let's go back to Oristano to rest. If you guys hadn't been holding me back, I would have gone to sleep long ago. Anyway, Mekal won't run away here. The Sword God, who has recovered enough, will eventually come here looking for Mekal. There's not much around. Let them fight it out. We'll come out and join the fun when they're both badly injured." Yawning, Wu Feng took the lead and walked out of the forest. Why are they running around in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?

He hadn't gone far when Erica quickly walked up to him. Just as Wu Feng thought she was going to say something, her cherry-colored lips lightly touched his cheek, causing Wu Feng to freeze in his tracks.
