That protagonist is trash; I could do better!

The two forces clashed, striking Quetzalcoatl and Hall, causing a massive explosion that forced Quetzalcoatl back.

A protective barrier was immediately erected in front of Hall. Compared to the fierce attacks of Quetzalcoatl, the power of Ishtar and Merlin was like a tickle.

They are indeed difficult to deal with...

Hall didn't rush to pursue, leaving Ishtar and Merlin to buy time to adjust their Spirit Origin and Enhancement Magic.

Amidst the smoke and dust, Quetzalcoatl leaped out lightly, patting his chest and exclaiming, "That was dangerous~ but a bit too slow."

"That's not necessarily true!"

The moment the arrow was released, Ishtar descended from the sky, anticipating Quetzalcoatl's actions and waiting for an opportunity. She appeared behind Quetzalcoatl, her long, slender legs slashing out like lightning.

Swish!

In the instant that Quetzalcoatl ducked to avoid the attack, she saw the golden light shining in the sky.

"It's not over yet!" Ishtar shouted. "Maanna!"

A massive golden bow crashed down upon them.

"Humph."

With a smile on her face, Quetzalcoatl remained calm and unhurried. As the Heavenly Bow Maana fell, she suddenly kicked out and accurately struck the bow.

Heavenly Bow Ma Anna burst forth with a golden light, but was blasted away by an unstoppable force.

"He actually blocked it with his body!?" Ishtar exclaimed in disbelief.

"Where are you looking?" Quetzalcoatl, who had almost teleported to Ishtar's side, asked with a smile, wrapping her arms around Ishtar's waist from behind, sealing off her divine power, and suddenly launching a back throw.

Ishtar's expression changed drastically, but she was unable to break free.

Boom!

The ground, with a radius of more than ten meters centered on the two people, collapsed completely. The central part was as if it had been hit by a meteorite, and another part was melted by the high temperature.

Ishtar's body transformed into cherry blossom petals and flew away, reappearing in the sky with a somewhat bewildered expression.

In the distance, Merlin, who was holding his staff high, breathed a slight sigh of relief: "That was close. It's been a long time since I chanted a spell this quickly. I would have bitten my tongue."

Quetzalcoatl looked at Merlin, his gentle smile concealing a sharp killing intent: "As expected, you should be dealt with first."

boom!

The ground shattered, and the moment Quetzalcoatl's body vanished from its spot, Merlin cried out in panic, "Holl! Help me!"

Hall, who was adjusting his body-enhancing magic, had no choice but to make a move. His sword light shattered the path of Quetzalcoatl. Hall held a sword in his right hand and a gun in his left, blocking Quetzalcoatl's way.

"It's useless. Even if it grows, it's still just a human being."

Quetzalcoatl chuckled, her momentum undiminished, yet she failed to notice the difference in Hall compared to before; the rainbow-colored demonic eye faintly revealed a cross.

The star-shaped eyes held by the Mother Goddess of Creation, which reflect the inner sea of ​​stars, are essentially the celestial power to see through the world.

All the gods are Gaia's tentacles, and Gaia is the consciousness of the planet.

The Demon Eye's spiritual calculation function was enhanced a thousandfold, squeezing out the magic power within Hall's body to measure the speed of the Feathered Serpent God. The instant the Feathered Serpent God entered the attack range, the Six Harmonies Spear swept out with thunderous force, sealing off all of the Feathered Serpent God's offensive space.

How will she respond? Jump into the air? Use ranged attacks? Dodge?

Calculate all possible outcomes and deduce corresponding solutions.

However, all the results predicted by the spiritual calculations were incorrect.

boom!

The spear blade was instantly crushed under Quetzalcoatl's foot, and the immense force shattered the earth.

Quetzalcoatl almost completely overwhelmed Hall in terms of strength, skill, and combat experience. More accurately, Quetzalcoatl's overwhelming strength allowed him to unleash even greater skill.

"I told you, resisting is useless." She stepped forward swiftly on the blade of her spear, much faster than Hall could retract his spear. She aimed at Hall's neck, spread her right arm, and fired like a cannonball.

CLOTHLINE, commonly known as the "Diamond Arm," is a classic and practical wrestling technique. It involves using the momentum of the body to forcefully strike the opponent's neck with the arm, instantly rendering them unconscious.

But she was met with a sharp glint of sword light.

"what?"

Quetzalcoatl sensed the strangeness of the sword light and raised his arms to block it, his golden arm guards preventing the sparks from flying out.

Her body was thrown away and landed lightly on the ground more than ten meters away.

Blood flowed from her hands, and the golden arm guards were cleaved open by the sword light. If she hadn't reacted in time, those hands would have been lost.

"This power can destroy my armor and protective abilities..."

Quetzalcoatl grinned, exhaling a breath of potent poison. Gone was her former beauty; her expression grew increasingly malevolent and terrifying. "Very interesting."

Seeing Quetzalcoatl forced back by Hall, Merlin breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, I'm saved."

Ishtar landed beside Hall from the sky and said solemnly, "He's indeed not easy to deal with."

Quetzalcoatl grinned maliciously, "Warm-up over, now I'm getting serious."

Now, she no longer refers to herself as the older sister.

Merlin shuddered and weakly raised his hand: "I have a more important mission. Is it too late to back out now?"

Anyone who sees Quetzalcoatl in her current state would doubt whether she is the legendary benevolent goddess.

Quetzalcoatl and Ishtar answered in unison, "No."

Chapter 441 Mutual Harm

It is said that when gods fight, mortals suffer.

The workers and residents of Eridu now deeply understand this statement.

The wrestling tournament venue, which was nominally set up, was in complete chaos.

boom!

Ishtar's body was kicked away by Quetzalcoatl, crashing into the altar that served as the audience seating at several times the speed of a fighter jet. The altar, which had taken hundreds of thousands of laborers months to build, collapsed instantly. Dozens of unfortunate people in the stands were crushed by the violent impact, and hundreds of spectators were injured by falling stones.

Ishtar flew out in a sorry state, breaking through the rubble and dust, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth. She controlled the Heavenly Bow Maana and fired dozens of golden beams of light, which refracted and reflected in mid-air, all of them heading towards Quetzalcoatl. She did not forget to mock: "To treat your own people so cruelly, what an excessive goddess."

She was still struggling with the fact that, despite being the legitimate goddess of Uruk, her reputation in Eridu had been surpassed by that of Quetzalcoatl.

"Because only in this way can humanity grow."

Quetzalcoatl dodged arrows with a smile, or used the blade of his obsidian longsword to knock them away; he seemed to be enjoying the game.

The figures of the two goddesses transformed into streaks of light and collided time and again. The Heavenly Bow Maana and the Obsidian Longsword clashed, unleashing terrifying divine power that melted the earth, leaving behind a scene of utter devastation.

"what happened!?"

"Run! Don't look here! You're too close! You'll be killed!"

"Escape...where to escape to?"

"No! Look!"

The laborers and residents stared in disbelief as the dead bodies rapidly came back to life, the near-time-reversing resurrection curse taking effect.

The true purpose of building this site is to protect the inhabitants of Eridu, who can be resurrected without restriction as long as they are within the realm of the Sunstone's power.

In each encounter, Ishtar was completely overwhelmed, her compatibility, strength, and combat awareness were no match for Quetzalcoatl.

"It was still too much of a stretch."

Cold sweat dripped down Ishtar's forehead. He was almost cornered. As Quetzalcoatl charged toward him, he cursed under his breath, "You're going to keep me occupied!"

With a wave of her hand, Ma'ana, the Heavenly Bow, transformed into a shield in front of her, but was cleaved away by Quetzalcoatl along with her bow.

Quetzalcoatl stopped in his tracks and smiled, "What's wrong? Don't you need that? If you don't use it now, you'll never have another chance. I've been wanting to try it for a long time."

Ishtar steadied herself, breathing heavily, and replied impatiently, "Enough with the nonsense, you're not worthy of my use of my Noble Phantasm."

After several rounds of combat, her magic power was reduced by more than half.

"There's no other way but to kill you," Quetzalcoatl said with a smile.

Before Quetzalcoatl could make a move, cherry blossom petals fell from the sky, obscuring her vision.

In the distance, Merlin muttered cautiously, "Compared to wielding a sword to kill someone, casting spells and chanting incantations is definitely much safer."

Even as the Sword Saint of Avalon, with his superb swordsmanship, he still dared not confront Quetzalcoatl head-on, as the difference in their status was too great.

The falling petals created a peculiar magical barrier, briefly shielding the power of the Sunstone from Quetzalcoatl.

A glint of cold light pierced out from the hidden sea of ​​flowers.

Merlin's illusion concealed Hall's body, creating an excellent opportunity for a sneak attack.

Ding!

Hall's rapier was blocked at an odd angle by the obsidian longsword.

"What a pity," Quetzalcoatl said with a calm smile.

Hall remained calm. "That's not necessarily true."

The next second, the slender sword in her hand pierced out like a sudden storm, tearing through the air with a violent whistling sound, and the fleeting silver light swirled up the petals.

Quetzalcoatl fought and retreated, the swift sword light passing by her each time, yet unable to harm her in the slightest.

She clearly saw the trajectory of each of Hall's sword strikes and was equally amazed by the swordsmanship that resembled a giant woven net. "Are you a technique-based swordsman? How interesting."

However, no matter how intricate the spider's web, it would be impossible to catch a pterosaur.

So-called skill is just a manifestation of insufficient strength.

Under absolute power, all skills are meaningless.

This is the principle behind Quetzalcoatl's actions. Facing Hall's fierce sword light, Quetzalcoatl seized the opportunity and his obsidian longsword struck down like thunder.

"watch out!"

Swish!

The obsidian longsword cleaved Hall in two from head to toe, turning him into petals that scattered away.

"Space replacement!"

Hall's consciousness communicated with Merlin, constantly reminding him to use magic to cover his tracks.
