I am a godslayer, not your hero.

"I didn't say that."

Pandora showed a brilliant smile, as if she was enjoying watching the fun and was afraid that the world would not be in chaos.

Mingxian nodded slightly, knowing what was going on.

He coughed lightly and got down to business: "There is one more thing. I seem to have gained new powers... even though I didn't contribute much."

Pandora held up a finger and said, "The condition for increasing power is not a one-on-one duel, but an 'equal battle' where the opponent is fully prepared."

"Is beating him up okay?"

"Of course not. It's just that the Valkyrie is considered your 'sword'. You can gain power by fighting with the weapon and followers."

Ming Xian seemed to be thinking about something.

The God Slayer does have the [power] to summon followers, such as the wild boar summoned by the protagonist of the original novel, and the subordinate gods in the later period, the mermaid princess summoned by the Black Prince, the werewolf summoned by Woban, and the sea beast summoned by John...

These followers seemed to be counted as the "swords" of the godslayer.

Fight fair, defeat the gods, and the master will gain power...

That makes sense.

Ming Xian had one last question: "Why don't you just reincarnate Xiao Ai into a godslayer?"

Pandora: "Why do you ask?"

Ming Xian expressed his doubts: "The conditions for becoming a godslayer are to defeat the gods and to fight with your approval. Xiao Ai should meet the requirements, right?"

Pandora moved her body, propped her cheek with her hands, and said, "You missed a condition."

"What conditions."

"Humanity."

Pandora opened her lips slightly: "Only humans can be reincarnated as godslayers."

Mingxian: "Isn't Xiaoai a human?"

"She has escaped [human destiny]." Pandora raised her hand and pointed at Mingxian: "Mingxian's destiny as a warrior has been extracted. Let me put it this way."

"You untied the first and second knots, you are just a stronger human."

"But if you obtain the blood of an alien species, such as a werewolf, vampire, demigod, immortal, or yaksha, then you will deviate from the destiny of a human."

"If you untie the third knot, you will transcend your own destiny, and [human destiny] will have nothing to do with you."

"If it is not a human being, it is not the child of my uncle (Prometheus). My uncle will not activate the ring."

She raised her left hand and put her thumb and index finger together.

"Your sister, no, it should be your wife. Before she was reincarnated as my child, she almost deviated from [human destiny] by a little bit."

Mingxian suddenly felt that the standards for becoming a godslayer were so vague!

If we talk about deviation from [human destiny], didn't I also merge with Chi You's "sword" in the beginning, and a large number of swords grew out of my body?

I always feel that there are three conditions to become a God Slayer:

"It is my destiny as a human being", "Defeat the gods on my own", "A battle that satisfies Pandora".

There are some indescribable feelings.

understood!

Pandora has the final right of interpretation.

Mingxian opened his mouth and wanted to ask something else, but he heard Pandora suddenly change the subject and said, "By the way, Xianxian seems to be married, and this is with my other child. This is the first time in history that my two children are married!"

"congratulations!"

As he spoke, he applauded.

It wasn't just Pandora's applause, there were two more applause sounds that came out of nowhere.

Ming Xian: “…”

The next moment, consciousness broke away from the [gray area] and returned to the earth.

……

A hospital in Naples.

In the ward filled with the faint smell of disinfectant, Edwards finally slowly opened his eyes. His movements were light and slow, as if every cell in his body was adapting to the long-lost wakefulness.

The moment she sat up, a familiar figure inadvertently jumped into her sight.

Ming Xian was sitting beside him, his eyes closed and his breathing long and even, like a quiet statue, guarding the tranquility that had just awakened.

Edwards' thoughts gradually became clearer, like morning mist dispersed by the breeze.

Fragments of memory flooded into my mind, but the only thing missing was the blank period after I fainted.

His brows were slightly furrowed, like a petal swaying in the morning breeze, revealing a bit of confusion and doubt.

But then, a gentle smile bloomed on his lips, like the warmest breeze in spring, gently blowing away the fog in his heart.

Although I don’t know what happened, I think Mingxian brought me to a safe place.

Recalling the previous battle, Edelweiss murmured, "Unlike what he gave people, he is a surprisingly reliable coach."

Even though he didn't understand the current situation, he continued to accept Edwards's request to deploy troops, and sent all the troops under the command of [Thousand Burning Stars] over, consuming a large amount of magical power without any hesitation or suspicion.

Even at the end of the battle, he came to clean up the mess.

If this was a war, Mingxian really gave Edwards 100% trust.

The incandescent light of the hospital shone softly on his face, adding a sacred and inviolable atmosphere to the mingxian.

Edwards looked at him quietly, and suddenly felt that the other person was very young, not at all like someone of his age, and indescribable emotions surged in his heart.

Is it gratitude? Is it heartache?

Or is it the quietly growing emotion?

She didn't know, she just felt an unprecedented peace slowly surrounding her, as if she was embraced by the most gentle arms.

She was already used to walking alone, but this was the first time she had been supported in a fight.

A little bit strange...

Retracting his thoughts, Edwards felt the condition of his body.

Most of the injuries have recovered, even those caused by the God of Steel have been completely healed.

Mithras's weapons have the property of restraining the immortal divinity, and the wounds they inflict cannot heal and will continue to bleed until death.

But as for the God Slayer, there is always a way to solve it.

There was also the previous "awakening", which deeply assimilated into the myths circulating on earth. Although divinity flowed out, the body also changed.

When he turned back into a human, some of his injuries were healed.

However, there are still some subtle differences between the body and the original human body.

Edwards looked at the palm of his hand, feeling a little troubled.

Divinity will change the human body and evolve it towards a mythical life, and the earth seems to be full of madness. Even a disobedient god wandering on the earth will gradually fall into rage.

"The correction power of this world is also somewhat serious..."

When Edwards was "awakening", he used his own destiny gravity to perceive that in addition to Mithras's huge destiny force that captured celestial bodies, there was also a corrective force that filled the entire world.

In the world of No. 793 (The Heroic Tale of the Failed Knight), it also has the power of correction, and will destroy the demons who have "awakened to salvation" and are deeply assimilated into the myth.

However, the correction power of this world is too strong.

If one awakens as a demon in this world, he will probably be directly punished by the power of correction and wiped off the face of the earth.

"That's why we have to go to the Netherworld."

Edwards understood the laws of this world No. 235 (the original work of God Killer).

At this time, Mingxian also opened his eyes, and his mind returned to reality from the [gray area]. The first thing that caught his eyes was the whiteness like the white lotus on the snow-capped mountains.

"Have you recovered?"

Mingxian asked softly.

Edwards nodded slightly, then asked, "Has the god Mithras returned to Mythology?"

Mingxian said: "You did defeat him, but Mithras has the divinity of the Sun and was resurrected after death. However, I arrived in time. Although he was told to escape, the dignity of the god did not allow him to escape, so I gave him a fatal blow."

Edwards nodded: "How is your consumption?"

Ming Xian said: "It consumed a lot of energy, and the cursed energy was basically lost. It is now slowly recovering. The troops under the command of [Thousand Bodies Burning Stars] also lost a lot, especially those who were divided to fight."

Fighting on two fronts, although there is some time difference, is still a bit of a stretch.

[Black Hole Trigger] was directly detonated during the battle with Luo Hao, and required a lot of effort to recast.

The same situation happened on Edwards' side. Both the [Shining King Sword] and the [Kunlun Sword] were broken by Mithras.

Ming Xian spoke slowly, his voice a little tired: "[Thousand Burning Stars] is not a powerful combat power. Most of the damage is actually caused by divine tools such as [Golden Sword] and [Saving Divine Sword]. What is powerful is not [Thousand Burning Stars] itself, but the divine tools controlled by the power."

Assuming that an outstanding employee like [Golden Sword] was not recruited in the beginning, the output of [Thousand Burning Stars] would be greatly reduced.

After that, you also have the [Saving Divine Sword], so you don’t have to worry about output.

In a nutshell, what is powerful is not [Thousand Bodies Burning Stars] itself, but the divine tools that were swallowed by Mingxian.

Ming Xian continued, "Even if the [Thousand Bodies Burning Stars] is used correctly, it actually has a flaw, and that is the efficiency of mobilizing troops."

"Because of [Empty Brightness Chasing the Storm], I can send the weapon to you instantly."

"Without the power of the God of Destiny, divine tools of the level of the [Golden Sword] and the [Shining King Sword] would never be able to move there instantly."

This is similar to Marquis Vauban's [Dead Servant Cage]. Although it can instantly move dead servants to his side, the divine beasts that were slaughtered and recovered cannot be instantly moved because their "spirituality" is too huge, so they sleep in the base on the Balkan Peninsula.

【Kongming Zhulan】solves this problem.

However, this power is unable to mobilize troops across world levels.

Even if you use the spiritual outfit [Sword Jigong] to form a legion, you will become alone again after leaving the base.

Ming Xian concluded: "This power has many shortcomings."

Edwards said: "But you overcame them one by one."

"Of course I am very strong."

"You are indeed very strong. At the same time, you are also very self-aware. You are really gentle."

Edwards lifted his hair and smiled.

Ming Xian: “…”

How did you come to this conclusion?

There is no denying self-awareness.

It should be said that all the godslayers… not all, most of them are still aware of it, but all of them are determined not to change!

People like this are all trouble.

If I were an ordinary person, I probably wouldn't want to have anything to do with the God Slayer in my entire life.

Ming Xian changed the subject and said, "There is one more thing. The [Circle of Usurpation] seems to operate according to 'fate'. Becoming a godslayer requires 'human fate', and whether or not to increase power is also a similar criterion for judgment."

"You are condemned to be my 'sword'."

"That is, you don't have 'human destiny', but you have 'sword destiny'. It's probably something like a follower."

"So we fought Mithras successively and also gained a power."

Having said this, he paused and looked into Edwards' eyes.

"You have done a great job. As the commander, I should reward you. So whatever you want, as long as I can do it, I will satisfy you."

Edwards chuckled, "What a valuable reward."

Then, she closed her eyes, pondered for a moment, and said jokingly: "Although it is just a pastime for me, and I have no hatred with that god, but since you said so, I will ask for something."

"You said."

Mingxian's expression straightened up, waiting for her to state her request.

Edwards paused for an inexplicable moment, and said helplessly: "Sure enough, I am still a little shy."
