"No, it's not that. I just think you can stop speaking so formally. It's tiring to listen to and troublesome to answer... Is your intention to sound pretentious?"
"Um……"
Helios fell into a brief silence, even slowing down the attacks of the sword in his hand that was hurting Bai Ye.
Until, due to carelessness, he was slashed on the left arm by Gungnir in Bai Ye's hand...
"Truly worthy of being my mortal enemy, you actually used such vile words to prevent me from fully committing to the battle against you."
white night:"……"
Are you imagining some random, nonsensical things?
"Son of Fool, now that you've revealed such a trump card, I cannot be rude. I will now unleash my full power in battle against you!"
white night:"……"
Shut up! My trump card should be to use another 8.88 million to concoct a nuclear bomb, not something so trivial!
Other kings' titles are either distinctive ones like "Martial Arts King" or "Sword King," or rather, rather slangy ones like "Black Prince" or "The Oldest Godslayer." I don't want these conversations to get out and I'll inexplicably be labeled a "talking king"!
"I am Helios, son of the Titans Hyperion and Theia. The blood of the Titans will grant me an immortal body to fight until the end of the world!"
white night:"……"
Is this going all out?
So you were just annoyed because you touched on your own little secret, right?
Your divine name is weeping!
Seeing Helios, now gleaming gold and wielding a similarly golden longsword, charging towards him, Bai Ye stiffly tugged at the corners of his mouth, raised Gungnir to block Helios's enraged attack, and at the same time, his eyes became serious.
Helios's ultimate move not only doubled his strength, but also increased the probability that Bai Ye could find a weakness in his every move...
Although he was initially a god-slayer, the steel-like body that a god-slayer possesses, said to be able to fight against gods, is no joke. After killing a god, Bai Ye's physical enhancements were far more than just his magical power.
His strength, speed, five senses... all of them have been significantly enhanced.
Give the simplest example.
When he was still a mortal, Helios was able to directly confront the steel ball thrown by Byakuya, which was first amplified a hundredfold by the Momo-Momo Fruit and then enhanced with the ability of absolute constant speed, thanks to his divine body.
However, after becoming a god-slayer, Helios had no intention of confronting the same attack, which was of the same method but with a power that was a thousand times greater. Every time Bai Ye exhibited the unusual phenomenon of launching steel balls, Helios would immediately sway left and right or move up and down, and then quickly charge at Bai Ye, forcing him into close combat. In short, he did not give Bai Ye any opportunity to attack from a distance.
"I saw!"
Just when Bai Ye thought this battle might turn into a protracted war, Helios suddenly shouted and thrust his divine sword at Bai Ye's exposed armpit from swinging Gungnir.
Bai Ye realized it instantly this time.
"Activate your shields and block them!!!"
……
Chapter 076 Good things come in pairs... but in triplets!
Don't complain about why, before the battle started, the system was instructed to change the automatic shield activation mechanism to near-death, and now they're contradicting themselves...
In essence, Bai Ye is ultimately a hedonist.
He might impulsively choose to confront Helios head-on, but all he needs to do is imagine the scene of a sword stabbing into his armpit...
Useless principles can be thrown away without hesitation!
Fortunately, as his auxiliary program, the system was always online, so even though Helios's sword was extremely fast, the command was already issued in Bai Ye's mind the instant the sword tip pierced Bai Ye's clothes.
Helios then discovered that his strike, which had gathered eighty percent of his divine power, slowed down after touching Baiye's body, until he could no longer muster any strength at all...
Helios: "..."
“I remember you said this when you last descended, right? Even if you fought for three days and thirty-one nights, you might not be able to move me.” Bai Ye grinned at Helios’s questioning gaze.
"But I didn't expect it to be like this."
Holding his divine sword in a casual pose, Helios took two steps back, making sure Bai Ye's spear couldn't pierce him, and then looked at Bai Ye in amazement: "What level of attack can your unreasonable defense withstand? The lightning of that old Zeus?"
"Probably... if nothing unexpected happens... firing a few shots one by one shouldn't be a problem."
"...If this weren't Rhodes Island, I'd really like to verify the truth of your words." Helios's aura surged at first, but then, as if he were thinking of something, the divine power gathered within him slowly dissipated.
"I'm unlucky to have run into you. Remember to act fast when you're done. If you drag your feet... don't blame me for backing out!"
Helios let out a long breath, dispelling the buffs from his Titan body.
Without the golden light emanating directly from his body, his simple yet luxurious purple robe was revealed once again.
If Bai Ye understands correctly, Helios's gesture means...
Lie down and let yourself be fucked?
Ahem, I misspoke. Was it giving myself a power for free?
"Then I won't stand on ceremony with you." With a bright smile on his face, Bai Ye brought the tip of Gungnir to his mouth.
"I hereby swear that this spear will surely slay those who disobey before me!!!"
Sensing the holder's vow, the sacred covenant written in runes on Gungnir shone brightly.
After the contract officially took effect, Bai Ye, holding the gun barrel, gently pushed forward.
flutter--
Helios had been injured several times before, but he was able to heal his wounds with divine power or his own Titan bloodline after Gungnir's projection dissipated without a care in the world. However, that was under the control of his subjective will.
Now that Helios has given up on treatment, with Gungnir's power as a divine weapon, plus the effect of the divine covenant on the spear, sending the disobedient Helios back to mythology should not be a problem.
Still in that half-asleep, half-awake, dazed state, after verbally teasing the loli goddess Pandora, Bai Ye also received the second power bestowed upon him by Helios.
The All-Seeing One Above the Firmament
The origin of this power should be traced back to the time when Hades abducted Persephone. Helios, seeing this from the heavens, witnessed Demeter, Ares (the god of war), and Aphrodite (the goddess of beauty) having an affair. Helios, again seeing this from the heavens, promptly informed Hephaestus to catch them in the act...
cough cough.
As a god who drives the chariot of the sun god through the heavens, Helios could naturally see things that might not be clearly visible from other angles.
Strictly speaking, this power has two effects.
The passive visual enhancement greatly strengthens Bai Ye's dynamic vision, allowing him to keep up with and lock onto incredibly fast opponents in battle—of course, while you can keep up visually, whether you can keep up physically is up to you.
As for actively seeking weaknesses, being able to find your enemy's weaknesses is like when Helios seized the less than one-thousandth of a second of the opening when Bai Ye swung his spear, and thrust his sword at Bai Ye's armpit.
However, just as mortals wielding divine power will inevitably face certain limitations, the latter, actively activated power, while undeniably powerful and capable of producing unexpected and miraculous effects in evenly matched battles, can also have severe consequences if overused…
210
If this power's active effect is activated multiple times in a short period of time, at best it will cause blurred vision, and at worst it may mean saying goodbye to this colorful world and honestly using your own hands to achieve your dreams.
"Emmmmmm..."
After experiencing the newly acquired powers and the surge in magical power, Bai Ye felt that Helios might still not understand his crazy hints.
Not far away, having witnessed Bai Ye kill Helios once again and successfully usurp his power, Lu Yinghua looked at Bai Ye as if he were a god...
To kill two gods in a single day, and the same one at that, Lu Yinghua dares to say that such a feat is unprecedented and unparalleled.
Just as Lu Yinghua was about to go over and offer his congratulations, he saw Bai Ye wave at him with his back turned without turning around.
Lu Yinghua: "???"
Under Lu Yinghua's gaze that looked at him as a beast, Bai Ye waved his hand and swept the two Helios heads/fragments on the shore, whose divinity had completely dissipated, into the sea. Then he took out a new Helios head that was full of divinity.
……
Chapter 077 I'm lying down, you can do whatever you want.
Unlike the previous two times, this time, both Bai Ye and Lu Yinghua could sense that the figure that resonated with the divinity in the stone statue's head was coalescing much more slowly.
It even almost disappeared once in the middle.
This gave Bai Ye the feeling that the summoned object wanted to break the contract at the last minute, but stayed because of some compelling factor.
The figure took shape, and it was still the sun god with a purple robe, a golden crown on his head, and a handsome face.
Bai Ye originally wanted to greet him, but after his figure solidified, Helios glared at Bai Ye angrily, then waved his hand, and a golden chariot pulled by four fiery horses appeared beneath him.
With a flick of the reins, Helios galloped off in the opposite direction from Bai Ye, leaving Bai Ye with a hasty escape... well, I mean, a solitary, aloof silhouette.
white night:"……"
Lu Yinghua: "..."
What the hell!
"Come back! I really miss you this time. I want to grab a couple of drinks with you. Red wine, white wine, Sprite, Coke—your choice is yours, and I'll pay!"
Knowing that if Helios escaped now, he would probably have little hope of obtaining the Titan's body that he longed for, since among the sacred relics that the First Emperor had collected, the only one truly related to the Titans was Helios's head.
The first power usurped from Helios, "Eternal Sun God," was activated, and a chariot exactly like Helios's appeared beneath Bai Ye.
While the second power, "All-Seeing Above the Sky," was still able to pinpoint Helios's location, Bai Ye flicked the reins, and the sun chariot, pulled by four fiery horses, soared into the sky.
Below, Port Rhodes.
Looking at the port that had suddenly become deserted, Lu Yinghua opened his mouth, but for a moment he was speechless.
He didn't have any particular thoughts about Helios's "decisiveness".
Put yourself in their shoes. If you didn't comply, and were rejected twice in just half an hour, and then that demon forcibly dragged you out of the myth a third time...
He might run away even more decisively than Helios.
But what's with the White Night King leaving himself here...?
After taking out his phone and sending a message to the leaders of the Five Hells Holy Sect in various places, telling them to be aware of the two "suns" that might appear in various parts of the world at any time, Lu Yinghua thought for a moment and decided to return to Mount Lu to report the situation to his master.
The birth of the seventh king seems to indicate a good relationship with his master. If this isn't reported in time, he'll probably get a few more sets of Flying Phoenix Twelve Divine Palms by the time his master realizes what's going on.
……
As the sun god, Helios's powers also have some hidden attributes. For example, under sunlight, the speed at which his internal magical energy recovers is several times faster than in the shadows, and his overall qualities are also significantly enhanced...
This discovery came after the White Night had chased Helios for an unknown distance, from a region that was still in daylight to a region that was already in darkness.
The moment he crossed the dividing line between day and night, Bai Ye noticed that the speed of the sun chariot he was controlling had slowed down.
Although the distance isn't huge, if Helios seizes this opportunity, shaking him off won't be a problem.
In order to prevent his Titan divine body's power from escaping, Bai Ye felt it necessary to take some necessary measures, such as...
"I swear in my name that this gun will surely hit the disobedient vehicle ahead!"
brush--
Just as its name suggests, Gungnir streaked across the sky like a shooting star, tracing a graceful arc before striking one of the fiery horses pulling Helios's chariot.
hiss~~~
The fiery horse neighed in pain, and the unbalanced carriage wobbled and crashed into an island below.
boom!
"So you traveled all this way just to sink a small island?" Bai Ye said, making a sarcastic remark as he approached Helios, who was standing with his hands behind his back on the island's rubble.
"If you hadn't thrown that shot, would this situation have occurred?"
"It seems unlikely..."
“So, let’s be frank. What power of mine do you actually want?” Helios sighed deeply, turned around and looked at Bai Ye with a troubled expression. “I’ve given you the power of the sun, and I’ve given you the power of the all-seeing one. I really can’t think of anything else you can get from me.”
"You should have said so earlier, it would have saved me a lot of trouble." Bai Ye chuckled and rubbed his hands together. "So, I'll say it then?"
"……explain!"
Fortunately, when he was summoned away from the myth for the second and third time, he was only accompanied by Bai Ye's follower. Otherwise, if word got out that he had been taken advantage of three times in a row, wouldn't the dignified Sun God really become a joke?
"Hmm... Before coming here, I had some understanding of the powers that Godslayers could obtain from non-gods. If I'm not mistaken, besides the two powers I've already obtained, you should have another power that's very useful in battle..."
"You mean... the body of a Titan?"
"Bingo, you got it right." Bai Ye snapped his fingers.
