Chapter 76 - Understanding the strength of gods

Boom, Boom,

In the dark separate world, which was illuminated by a red-crimson moon, two blond figures fought against each other at an extremely fast speed beyond description.

From time to time, explosions appeared one after another.

Under their attacks, the aftermath alone destroyed half of the different world space.

One of the blond figures held a golden spear and wore golden Armor. With a light wing behind his back and a red gauntlet in his arms, he launched a huge magic cannon one after another and he also stopped the incoming arrow full of divine power by swinging his spear.

The other golden figure was like a small sun. He bathed in light and dodged the magic cannons which could destroy a small mountain and pulled the string of his bow, sending arrows full of the destructive divine power of the sun.

Under the fight of these two humanoid nuclear bombs, tens of miles area had already been raised to the ground and the majestic city became a ruin.

"It's really hard to kill a god." Panting heavily, Miyuki looked at Apollo who was embarrassed under his attack but was still able to stay alive.

He underestimated the gods. His estimation of Apollo's strength was also wrong.

As the main god of Olympus, his strength is stronger than most of the gods and only main gods of the same level can match him.

If it wasn't for injuring Apollo at the beginning and then constantly halving his strength with the help of the White Dragon Emperors' wings, then he might not be able to fight even if he has the Red Dragon Emperors' cage hand.

"Sword Master, you have truly angered me." Apollo looked at Miyuki and anger burned into his eyes.

He didn't expect to be injured so much by a mortal and his strength is constantly decreasing due to the attack of the unknown artifact.

If he doesn't show his strength then he will definitely die.

It's just because there is no sun in this world and it is a different space, his connection with the outside world is very vague and he is unable to borrow the power of the sun. Such a situation has made him unable to use his full strength.

What's more, due to serious injury, his strength is even weaker.

But, it's not that he has no chance.

Apollo immediately began to burn his origin in order to be able to use his authority again and use his strongest power.

Although this will injure him even more and it will take a long time to recover after burning his origin, Apollo could no longer take care of anything else because if he didn't do it then he was destined to die.

Although god will not truly die, the personality born after death will be completely different from before death.

It is for this reason that Apollo fears death.

He doesn't want his current consciousness to dissipate and then his body was occupied by another newly born consciousness.

For this, even if he burned his origin, Apollo didn't back down.

In fact, Miyuki didn't guess wrong.

He is indeed unable to defeat Apollo who has returned to his peak.

The gods in this world are quite special. They haven't experienced Ragnarok and they not only have strength but they also have authority bestowed by the world.

Although this authority is incomplete because it has been divided due to several god systems and all kinds of gods, it is still terrifying.

You know, even with an incomplete world authority, there are still many gods who can exert continental-level strength in special situations. There are even some star-burst-level god-kings in this world.

If Apollo was at his peak and he could use the authority of the God of sun and light then he was a veritable continental-level existence under the sun.

Although it sounds unbelievable, in fact, it is understandable, after all, these powers and authorities originate from the world itself.

So, unless Miyuki has the strength to break the authority and laws of the world, he will never be able to fight a main god like Apollo, who in his heyday, can use the laws of the world.

Thankfully for Miyuki, he brought Apollo into the inherent enchantment and injured him at the beginning of the fight.

In the enchantment, Apollo is no longer under the sun and most of his authority has been restricted. He can only exert less than 20~30 % of his power.

Later, due to the injury and successive halving of strength, Apollo was successfully restricted to the country level.

Miyuki's strength also increased with time and with his strong recovery he could fight Apollo.

If not for this, then Miyuki might either have to use his trump card or he would have to run with the help of his system.

"Really, it seems I can only do it." Looking at the sun fire burning around Apollo and feeling the rising temperature, Miyuki sighed helplessly.

"System, use one-fourth of the points to increase my magic power, use another one-fourth to increase my magic resistance."

"As for the rest, use it to increase my strength in a comprehensive way." Miyuki gave orders and he struck the golden spear on the ground.

Previously, he had already prepared for a stalemate, even defeat, so, he had already thought of an appropriate way to strengthen himself.

In the previous fight, he thought that should be able to kill Apollo by relying on several artifacts and his strong recovery power. Now, seeing Apollo's sudden increase in strength, he is no longer confident.

So, he decisively used his points in the most appropriate way.

[ Ding! The points have been used according to Host's command. ]

Miyuki immediately felt his magic power and magic resistance increase. He also felt his strength was rapidly improving in a comprehensive way.

Even so, he didn't become careless, after all, Apollo wouldn't wait for his strengthening to be over.

"Hahaha... Sword Master just wait to feel the majesty of the gods." Apollo laughed wildly and said.

Feeling his returning authority and power, Apollo no longer felt that Miyuki could fight him.

Well, Apollo inflated, that is right, he is inflated.

After all, a god with authority and a god without authority are two different beings.

Although he still can't fully use his authority and he hasn't recovered to his heyday because of his injuries, still, his current strength is more than enough to kill normal Miyuki.

Unfortunately, Miyuki is no longer in a normal state.

Not only has his strength been boosted by the red dragon emperor's cage hand several times, but even the magic power absorbed by White Dragon Emperors' wings was also used by him to increase his strength.

What's more, Miyuki has used all the points to strengthen himself.

Now, Apollo will be deflated even if doesn't want to be deflated.

After all, he isn't a certain Saint who will no longer be defeated after being deflated once.

Holding his strongest Divine Artifact, Apollo used the sun's true fire and a huge amount of divine power to condense his strongest attack.

Looking at Apollo who was blazing like the sun and seeing the black cracks appearing around his arrow due to extremely high temperature, Miyuki knew that he had to be serious or he will die.

For the first time since his time travel, he felt the threat of death.

Although Miyuki was afraid, he still remained calm. After all, he still has a system, if something unexpected happens then he can use the system to escape.

Although Apollo has regained the ability to use authority, he is no longer able to use his full strength. After all, he has been injured a lot by Miyuki.

So, Miyuki still has a chance.

Looking at the blazing sun condensing on Apollo's bow, Miyuki pointed at the crimson moon in the sky.

Immediately, the crimson moon began to enlarge or rather it began to come closer to earth.

Just like a meteorite, a burning crimson moon with dozens of miles radius fell towards the ground with Apollo as the center.

Although this moon is a low-end version of the real moon, it is still the moon, so, the fall of the moon cannot be ignored by Apollo.

Even though he has the strength to destroy a continent but that all relies on his bow and his own body isn't enough to see.

So, Apollo can't take the falling moon head-on.

Feeling the crisis brought by the falling moon, Apollo stopped aiming at Miyuki and immediately aimed at the falling moon then he began to increase the output of divine power.

Seeing Apollo's action, Miyuki smiled.

He knows that the moon cannot kill the current Apollo.

The only reason he did this was to borrow time.

He still needs a few seconds to charge his strongest trump card or treasure and he also needs Apollo to be unable to react to his attack or Apollo will definitely be able to fight back.

Pulling out his strongest Trump Cards against the gods, Miyuki was ready to kill Apollo.

Immediately a Sword that couldn't be called a sword appeared in Miyuki's hands and a chain appeared around him.

The sword in Miyuki's hand is Ea, the Ex-level Anti-World noble phantasm of golden glitter.

It has an abnormal shape that doesn't match what would normally be classified as something specialized like a sword. It is something that was born before the appearance of the concept that the world calls a "sword," so it is not something that can truly be called a sword or have the shape of any known blade. While it has a grip, and handguard, and is the same length as a longsword, the section that should contain a blade deviates from the normal form of an edged weapon. The "blade" itself and the tip of the sword, spun in a spiral shape, are dull. It has the shape of a cylindrical, drill-shaped pillar made up of three independently rotating segments engraved with crimson cuneiform lettering that spin slowly in an alternating direction like querns, the middle segment spinning clockwise and the top and bottom segments spinning counterclockwise. The drill design was modeled after bedrock excavators used to drill underwater tunnels.

While Ea is categorized as a sword, its way of being is closer to a wand. Its three sections respectively represent the heavens, the earth, and the underworld. It exemplifies the world's way of being by having each one of them rotate in opposite directions. The "cosmos" is thus represented by matching all three of these representations. Everything together represents the universe.

It is a veritable creation-level weapon, it can destroy the world and recreate it.

Although it might sound like an exaggeration, Ea is definitely one of the strongest Noble Phantasm.

Holding Ea, Miyuki, and looking at the chains around him, Miyuki smiled.

The chain is Enkidu. It is the chain that can bind the gods and its strength depends on the opponent's divinity. It took him a lot of effort to materialize these two treasures.

Previously, he didn't use it because he not only wanted to test the power level of this world but also because he wanted to exercise his ability value.

Since he reached Lv5, he can no longer accumulate experience just by fighting monsters.

Apollo is a good target if he wants to upgrade, so, Miyuki naturally took him as a qualified tool man.

What's more, Apollo could have dodged Enkidu if he used it before.

Now that he is busy facing the crimson-falling moon and has no chance to completely pay attention to himself, Miyuki is ready to attack and kill him in one move.

Looking at the falling moon, Miyuki's eyes became serious and he began to wait for Apollo to strike and then leave a gap for a moment.

Although it will be just for a moment, Miyuki is confident to seize it and bind Apollo with Enkidu.

As for the falling moon, it's his own attack and it's still his own inherent enchantment, so, Miyuki will naturally not worry about it.

Due to Miyuki's concealment, Apollo didn't find Enkidu and Ea.

Even though he paid attention to Miyuki but he still had to distract himself in order to stop the falling moon.

It's not that he wants to save Miyuki, it's just that he wants to save himself.

If he doesn't stop the moon then it's unknown whether Miyuki will survive but he himself will definitely be seriously injured and he would lose the ability to fight Miyuki. So, Apollo has to stop the moon from falling even if he doesn't want to.

After pouring a lot of his divine power into the divine arrow and blessings it with his authority, Apollo shot it at the moon.

Just when Apollo launched his attack, Miyuki seized his momentary gap and launched Enkidu.
