Miss Surtr will ignite the world

The sound of metal clashing.

With his left hand, he blocked the cat's paws' path, using the butt of his gun to brace them, while his other gun was already pressed against the cat's forehead.

"Meow?"

The leopard-man made a meow like a cat and blinked.

Pull the trigger again.

Flames far more powerful than the previous bullets engulfed the narrow beast path and the leopard-men in front of them.

But it didn't end there.

It's said that cats react four times faster than humans, and it seems that the leopard-man, being a feline, is no exception.

"I'm here, you idiot! Watch my Leopard Man Flying Kick!"

A loud voice came from behind. The leopard man leaped into the air and kicked Surtr in a classic flying kick.

Despite wearing such a heavy mascot costume, this guy's movements were surprisingly agile, making them difficult to detect with the naked eye.

but.

"If you're going to launch a sneak attack, don't be so loud. This isn't a shonen manga."

He easily dodged to the side, twisted his body in the process, raised his foot, and kicked the leopard man in the buttocks without mercy the moment he landed.

Everyone says you shouldn't touch a tiger's backside, but you shouldn't have any problem touching a leopard.

The orange shadow crashed into the bushes at incredible speed, tumbling through the air and smashing through several thick trees before finally landing on the ground, its head bobbing and its vision blurred.

It may only be a momentary lapse in concentration, but in the heat of battle, that can be fatal.

When their vision returned to normal, the storm of fire was already upon them, and the moisture in the air evaporated rapidly. The leopard-man's face, including the expression on his mascot costume, turned to terror, then in the next moment, a calmness as if he had attained enlightenment.

"I'm going to die."

The leopard-man shouted his dying words, well, maybe not even his last words.

The roaring fire turned the leopard-man and the vast forest behind him into a crimson sea.

"Ahhh!!! I'm going to die, ...!"

It was probably the luck of the person who was possessed that worked; although the mascot costume on his body was charred black, he was still a little short of death.

"Help! Kukul!"

The leopard-man roared as it leaped out of the fire, landing on all fours with the tip of its tail clinging to the flames, and ran headlong into the depths of the dense forest without looking back.

Compared to dignity, their lives are more important; the leopard man is retreating!

"That direction..."

Surtr watched the leopard-man's burning back.

Although the dense trees make it impossible to look directly into the forest, there is indeed an extremely powerful magical force that can be felt even from this location. If I'm not mistaken, that should be the temple of Kukulkan.

Honestly, she didn't care about the leopard man at all, since he couldn't drop any gold coins anyway, and his irrational thought process made her uninterested in killing him.

As long as you don't bother her, it's fine.

"Merlin, I'm going to the temple in Eridu. You're on your own from now on."

Having arrived at their destination, Surtr bid farewell to Merlin and followed the route the leopard-man had taken into the dense forest.

"What an incompetent bodyguard! What kind of bodyguard abandons the person he's protecting and runs away?"

Merlin stared at the spot where Surtr had disappeared, muttering to himself.

But since we're already here, it doesn't really matter.

"Speaking of which, that guy who called himself a leopard man just now seemed to have mentioned Kukul. Is that the name of the Forest Goddess?"

Merlin pinched her chin; she certainly didn't think that obviously funny guy was the goddess of the forest.

She had never heard of a goddess who was directly called Kukul. Judging from the leopard-man's state, she probably used something like a nickname.

There aren't many myths about leopard people; they're mainly concentrated in the Americas.

With the Americas and Kukul, it's not hard to guess the true form of the Forest Goddess.

Quetzalcoatl.

One of the supreme gods in Aztec mythology.

"He really is an extraordinary person."

"Really, why are you in such a hurry? Even though I can't help you in the battle, I can at least cheer you on."

As he said this, Merlin quickened his pace considerably.

Hurry up and investigate the situation in Ur, then head to Elidu.

Speaking of which, the Marduk Axe that was placed there was also an item designated by King Gilgamesh.

It's necessary to retrieve it.

It's definitely not because I wanted to sit in the VIP seats to watch the God Wars.

Absolute Demonic Front: Chapter Seventeen - Data Filled with Feet

The roar of a pterosaur.

Pterosaurs with wingspans exceeding twelve meters swooped down from the sky, their blunt beaks striking the ground like missiles, as they broke into the temple.

That's right, the two of them.

"Why am I being attacked too? Aren't we on the same side?!"

The leopard-man covered his head and scurried around on the ground like a rat, dodging the pterosaur's attacks.

It's more accurate to say that this guy was the pterosaur's primary target.

Before we knew it, the sky had darkened, and the sun seemed to be obscured by thick clouds.

But it wasn't clouds. Surtr looked up and saw countless pterosaurs circling in the sky above Eridu, their flapping wings forming a continuous sheet that blocked out the sunlight.

What we saw from the outside was only a small part; it wasn't until we got closer to the city that we could make an accurate judgment. The number of pterosaurs above us was probably more than a thousand.

Does Kukulkan like these things that much?

She's clearly not that good-looking.

If possible, she didn't really want this power, even though every pterosaur here had the strength of a mythical beast, and it would still take some effort to deal with them without using the zero rated power.

But ugly is ugly.

Even the Sphinx is much prettier than them.

Surtr gave a critical look and looked away. Not far from where they were, a building similar in shape to the Tower of Uruk was being placed.

The Temple of Kukulkan.

If a god from a foreign land wants to exert his full power on the land, he must build a temple.

If the symbols enshrined in the temple are destroyed, then Kukulkan, the god from another land, will no longer be able to wield his power freely in this land.

And that is the symbol.

At the very top of the temple, a huge circular stone slab, nearly four meters in diameter, is placed there.

Solar calendar stone.

The ancient Aztec megaliths are said to be Aztec calendars displaying the past, present, and future of the world.

If only that is destroyed

Surtr raised his hand and fired a shot of Skyfire towards the stone slab.

clang.

The flaming bullets did not fall as expected; instead, they were intercepted in mid-air by a strange weapon that looked like a chainsaw sword.

The Emerald Sword Makana is also one of Kukulkan's treasures.

"Welcome to my temple, but sneak attacks are not allowed. I'd be really troubled if this disappeared."

At the top of the temple, Kukulkan walked down the stairs and said to Surtur with a smile.

Surtr wasn't surprised; it would have been absurd if she had managed to destroy it so easily.

Kukulkan, the feathered serpent god.

As a fragment of the supreme god, it is undoubtedly one of the most troublesome enemies in this singularity.

The opponent is at the pinnacle of goodness, making it virtually impossible for anyone of the good attribute to harm her; even attacks from other attributes will be significantly reduced.

Moreover, as the sun god, the other party was also an expert in the use of fire.

Seriously, with such strong defense and fire, this guy's attributes are exactly the same as mine.

Lost in thought, Surtur pointed his gun at Kukulkan.

Let's test the opponent's strength first.

"What an impatient child."

Kukulkan said with a smile.

She shouldn't have used that title for someone like Surtr; it sounded like she was referring to a junior.

But her keen eyesight as the goddess of knowledge allowed her to see that the other person seemed to be quite young.

Compared to those ancient gods, they are like newborns.

They said the child was perfectly fine.

Strict is only in his early twenties, which is incomparable to this guy who has probably lived since the age of dinosaurs.

However, she would not underestimate the other party just because he was young.

Although she left, she did not miss the battle the night before last. Even when facing three god-level opponents, she was not at a disadvantage. There is no doubt that she is an equal opponent in battle.

However, there was one question that puzzled her.

"Why are you opposing the Goddess Alliance? You don't seem to be burdened with a similar fate?"

Dodging the bullets, Kukulkan charged at Surtur, brandishing his chainsaw sword, Makana.

She did not sense any hostility from the other party, neither the night before last nor now.

No hostility? Then what makes her so eager to fight the goddesses?

"Because defeating you makes me stronger, it's that simple."

Surtr responded simply, bringing his twin pistols together once more, unleashing a storm of flames as the crimson blades, like magma, clashed with Macana.

"A power similar to devouring?"

"Since that's the case, then there's no other way. Let's fight to our hearts' content!"

As he spoke, a pleased smile appeared on Kukulkan's face.

She is a benevolent goddess, and also a conqueror, possessing the ferocious side of a war goddess. Battle is a pleasure for her, especially battles against those of similar stature.

You don't have to worry about being easily ruined; you can fight without holding back.

"Wow, this actually provoked Kukul's fighting spirit. That guy's going to die, isn't he?"

The leopard-man, held aloft by a pterosaur, rested his chin on his hand and spoke as if offering a critique.

The leopard-man's keen intuition, typical of wild animals, allowed him to sense that the ferocious side of Kukulkan was being gradually awakened during the battle.

As their opponent, no one felt this more clearly than Surtr.

Sparks flew as the two swords clashed in mid-air.

A figure was seen backing away.

It's Surtr.

His unparalleled strength proved ineffective against Kukulkan. It was noon, the sun high in the sky, and the Saintly Numbers were functioning normally. Surtr's physical attributes had increased to three times their usual level.

Even so, she was still forced back by the opponent's brute force. This was the first time she had encountered someone whose physical abilities far surpassed hers.

Even if Gawain was three times stronger than her back then, he was only slightly stronger.

Kukulkan is even more than three times the size of Surtur.
