In Britain, the Noble Phantasm: Divine Key

His goal was to capture Jingu, not to kill him.

If it were simply a matter of killing the other person, then not even ashes would be left.

Even if this body is the ultimate weapon created by the gods, he still has many ways to easily destroy the opponent.

Fortunately, this guy is only strong in physical ability; in comparison, his mental strength is slightly inferior.

Otherwise, this battle would probably drag on for a long time.

"Hopefully Gilgamesh will like this gift..."

Muttering to himself, Yanan turned to look at the Blood Temple not far away.

"Now that the appetizers are over, it's time for the main course."

A flash of light appeared, and a knight's lance engraved with the pattern of the Holy Lily appeared in his hand.

Jin Gu's face twitched slightly; this guy actually still had tricks up his sleeve.

Could it really be as he said, that he was defeated without even forcing the guy to use his full strength...?

Upon thinking of this, Jin Gu's expression immediately turned even more unpleasant.

Where on earth did that damned King Gilgamesh find such an ally...?

Anan calmed himself, closed his eyes slightly, and whispered:

"I am the black that devours everything, I am the white that nurtures everything."

"Born before creation, existing after annihilation."

"Divine Key - Black Abyss White Flower, First Rated Power - Holy Lance Blooms!"

Rumble! ...

A vast amount of magical power flowed continuously into the spear from the heart of the dragon. As the holy lily patterns on the spear were lit up one by one, this divine key that proclaimed life and death was completely awakened and unleashed a terrifying power that shook the heavens and the earth!

The Black Abyss White Flower seemed to transform into a pure white, immaculate radiance, instantly detaching itself from Anan's grasp and crashing against the eerie and terrifying Blood Temple at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

hum! ! !

The divine magic covering the temple's perimeter activated in response, and endless blood mist rose up, transforming into towering, blood-red walls tens of meters high, blocking the path before the Blood Temple.

In an instant, the pure white light collided with the crimson wall. The collision of the two powerful forces instantly created a huge shockwave, and the nearby blood swamp exploded, turning into endless blood rain that fell from the sky.

Like pure white snow meeting the scorching sun, the crimson wall crumbled rapidly, while the pure white light continued its unstoppable advance, breaking through the crimson wall's defenses layer by layer, showing no sign of weakness.

In just over ten seconds, all the crimson walls shattered, and the pure white light continued to bombard the Blood Temple with undiminished force.

Rumble!!!

The raging winds from the explosion tousled Jin Gu's long green hair, and his pale purple eyes now appeared somewhat vacant.

He couldn't imagine what would have happened if that blow had landed on him.

Even a body created by a god probably couldn't withstand this blow.

However, Jin Gu quickly came to his senses, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

No matter how powerful this guy is, as long as Mother awakens, this world is destined to perish.

Whether it's the human king sitting in the temple or this black-haired stranger, neither can escape this destined fate.

Anan didn't notice the change in Jingu's expression, instead focusing all his attention on the Blood Temple, which had been destroyed beyond recognition.

His expression was slightly serious, and he gripped the handle of the Black Abyss White Flower gun tightly in his hand.

"coming!"

Boom!!!

Like an earth dragon turning over, a loud rumbling sound came from beneath the earth, causing the entire ground to tremble violently.

A giant snake tail rose from the crack in the earth, stretching hundreds of meters like a winding mountain range across the ground. With this powerful support, a huge figure came to the ground.

It was a magnificent figure with a human head and a snake's body, clearly divided at the waist. Even without counting the tail, the human body alone was nearly a hundred meters tall, far exceeding the height of a typical city wall.

This monster had a beautiful female face, four wings covered with golden feathers on its back, and ferocious, huge snake heads growing out from between its long purple hair, with viscous saliva flowing from its scarlet mouth.

A beautiful face and a bizarre body, a blasphemous snake head and sacred wings—these contrasting qualities come together in one individual, inspiring a profound sense of awe and fear.

And this is Gorgon, the monster cursed by the gods, bearing the [Avenger] class, and now endowed with the power of [Mother of Beasts].

Yanan gazed at the massive body that resembled a mountain. Although his expression remained unchanged, his eyes had taken on a hint of solemnity.

Awakened from his slumber, Gorgon immediately locked his gaze on Yanan in mid-air, his pale purple snake eyes revealing undisguised hatred and rage.

Infected by Gorgon's emotions, the enormous snake heads that grew from his hair opened their mouths wide and let out sharp hisses and roars at Anan.

"No wonder you didn't wake me up. So you were captured, King Gu."

The Beast Goddess looked at Kingu behind Anann, her tone revealing undisguised disdain.

"I'm so sorry, Mother." Jingu lowered his head in shame. Although the person in front of him was not his real mother, the fact that he had been captured was true.

"Humph!"

The goddess of war beasts snorted coldly, no longer looking at him, but turning her gaze to Yanan.

"Although you have disturbed my slumber, I must admire your courage, human. Not only did you break into my temple alone, but you also captured my child. Among all the heroes I know, only one possesses such audacity and strength."

“You mean Hercules?” Yanan smiled. “That’s quite a coincidence. I just happened to run into that guy a while ago.”

"You know Hercules?" The goddess of monsters' expression changed slightly.

“I not only know him, I even know your true identity.” Anan crossed his arms and said leisurely, “The cursed goddess, Gorgon—I’m not wrong, am I?”

"...It seems you know quite a lot." The Goddess of Warcraft's expression darkened slightly.

Kingu stared in shock at Anaen's retreating figure. This guy actually knew the true identity of the Goddess of Beasts!

A sudden unease crept into his heart. Since this guy knew the Beast Goddess wasn't his mother, could he also know about the relationship between the Beast Goddess and his mother...?

“Isn’t it obvious?” Anan spread his hands. “Serpent tail, serpent hair, serpent eyes, these features are far too obvious—these are not characteristics that the Mother of All Things should have.”

Although his true identity was exposed, Gorgon quickly calmed down.

For her, this was not a big deal.

What's more, this guy is about to die too.

A dazzling light suddenly burst forth from the pale purple vertical pupils, and a beam of light shot out.

Anan grabbed Kingu's collar, his figure flashing slightly as he dodged the impact of the demonic eye.

Gorgon wields the highest-level Mystic Eye, "Kubler," and its power is amplified several times over, especially with the boost from the massive Spirit Origin at this moment. Even Anan, who has fused with the power of the Black Dragon, cannot escape being petrified when faced with it head-on.

Therefore, under no circumstances should we attempt to directly confront Gorgon's Eye of Deception.

"You can't escape!"

Gorgon roared, his long purple hair flying everywhere, and countless snake heads sprouted from it, their huge mouths gaping open, lunging at Anan from all directions.

"With so much hair, don't you find it troublesome to manage?"

Yanan's figure darted through the numerous snake heads like lightning, and with a slight clench of his hand, a black katana shrouded in an eerie and ominous aura appeared in his grasp.

"Let me handle this for you!"

brush!

Yanan brandished his black katana and with a casual slash, severed a huge snake head.

boom!

The snake's head fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. After a brief twitch for a few seconds, it became still.

On the broken surface of the snake's head and hair, a layer of black flames, almost invisible to the naked eye, was slowly burning.

"This is......"

Gorgon frowned slightly, keenly sensing that something seemed amiss.

Her snake hair was originally capable of regenerating indefinitely, but now a strange force has prevented this regeneration.

It felt as if her snake hair had been eroded by something and was no longer under her control.

"What have you done?!" she roared angrily.

"Didn't I tell you I'd fix your hair?" Yanan said casually.

The essence of Jizo's power is erosion. It is an ultimate virus with self-awareness that can erode and control any living or non-living entity. It is best suited to deal with enemies that can regenerate infinitely.

As he spoke, Yanan did not stop what he was doing. In just a few breaths, he cut off several more snake heads.

Similarly, these severed snake hairs cannot regenerate.

Gorgon was both shocked and furious, and quickly retrieved all of his snake hair.

If this guy keeps cutting, her snake hair will eventually be completely cut off.

Unfortunately, this guy was very fast, and she couldn't catch him at all.

Since close combat is not an option, let's go for ranged attacks!

Under Gorgon's control, the snake heads opened their mouths wide, and a torrent of magical power burst forth, transforming into beams of light that shot towards Anan.

With a wave of his hand, Yanan conjured up spatial black holes that swallowed all the magical beams of light.

"Here you go."

With another wave of his hand, the magical beam that had just been swallowed flew out of the black hole and, to the slightly astonished look of the Beast Goddess, crashed down upon her.

Chapter Twelve: The Blank Key

Rumble! ...

The roar was deafening, as if the whole world was trembling.

A few minutes later, Gorgon's massive, mountain-like figure reappeared amidst the thick dust. Apart from looking slightly disheveled, he showed no signs of injury.

This is what makes Gorgon so terrifying. Its nature as a [monster] is emphasized to the extreme, resulting in such a horrifying demonic form. Its strength and durability are both incredibly impressive.

Even ignoring her terrifying special abilities, she could easily overthrow any large city with her own strength alone.

However, although he was not physically injured, Gorgon was still extremely angry at being made such a mess of things.
