Chapter 261: What Happened? Why Did It Turn Out Like This?

Takumi glanced at the messages in the group and sighed.

"Good grief..."

He just casually killed that guy?

All he could say was that Kusanagi Godou was incredibly unlucky.

At that moment, even Izayoi felt a pang of guilt. But it didn't last long—he quickly pushed aside that strange feeling.

His eyes focused on the two Heretic Gods in front of him. Likewise, the two Heretic Gods stared intently at Izayoi.

"Are you truly a human?"

Veleslana looked at Izayoi in disbelief.

Could a human really unleash that kind of attack?

"Authentically human."

"Dear gods, please return now."

Izayoi said with a smile before charging forward. In the blink of an eye, he appeared before Mekal.

Veleslana was stunned. He had thought Izayoi would attack him!

But to his surprise, in the next instant, Izayoi clenched his fist and smashed it toward Mekal.

Mekal instinctively raised his hand to block—but in just that moment, his arm turned into golden mist and completely dissipated.

Mekal stared in shock at his vanishing arm.

What kind of power was this?

But Izayoi didn't care about the details. He was only focused on finishing this guy off.

Smiling broadly, Izayoi lifted his leg and kicked hard.

One punch, one kick—Mekal was instantly slain on the spot.

"How is this possible!"

Veleslana shouted in disbelief.

Was this some kind of joke?

Even killing chickens wasn't this fast!

Sure, Izayoi might've landed a surprise attack, but this level of combat strength was absurd!

After his reinforcement from the chat group, Izayoi's strength had reached a star-shattering level.

Taking down a Heretic God was as easy as breathing.

With Mekal eliminated, Izayoi shifted his gaze to Veleslana.

"So weak."

With those words, he charged at Veleslana.

Veleslana had already been on high alert. Seeing Izayoi rush in, he quickly backed away.

As a war god, he had figured out that Izayoi's physical body was absurdly powerful.

"I am the strongest. I wield all victory. Against humans or demons, I crush all hostility. I shall defeat any who stand in my way!"

Veleslana activated his Authority.

His second avatar—The Bull.

Boosting his power, he widened the distance.

Faced with the flying Veleslana, Izayoi froze for a moment.

He couldn't fly!

Emm… That's awkward.

It was just like how Groudon couldn't fly.

Currently, Izayoi also couldn't fly.

But it didn't matter.

Recalling some recent anime he had watched in the chat group, Izayoi raised an eyebrow.

The next moment, he blasted off.

Kicking off the air mid-air, he accelerated wildly.

Stepping on the air, he charged upward.

Seeing Izayoi catch up, the now-powered-up Veleslana also threw his fist without hesitation.

Boom!

But the expected clash of equals never occurred.

Even after enhancing himself with the Bull avatar, Veleslana was still knocked away.

Awkward indeed.

Izayoi didn't care what his enemy was thinking. Taking advantage of the moment, he charged again.

This time, light gathered in his hand.

This was the power of the pseudo-stellar chart within him.

Aurora Pillar.

An attack that no physical defense in the material realm could block.

One punch unleashed a pillar of light.

In an instant, the pillar of light engulfed Veleslana.

Even if he wanted to activate Camel or Aries avatars, it was too late.

He was instantly obliterated.

The power difference between them was simply too vast.

There was no way Veleslana could have been Izayoi's match.

When Veleslana was finished off, a force suddenly appeared, trying to pull Izayoi's consciousness in.

Realizing this, Izayoi didn't resist.

He knew full well—it was the ceremony to become a God Slayer.

Having killed two Heretic Gods, Izayoi was now undergoing the transformation.

Erica, watching from a distance, was stunned.

The two Heretic Gods had just been… dealt with like that?

Who exactly was he?

In her mind, countless images of God Slayers and top-tier warriors flashed by.

But none of them matched Izayoi.

The King of Swords didn't look like that.

He couldn't possibly be the King of Swords.

This man hadn't even been a God Slayer at the beginning, but the power he showed surpassed even one.

And then… Erica looked at the tragically unlucky Kusanagi Godou.

She fell into a deep silence.

That poor guy… what a pitiful fate.

But it was what it was.

Now that a new King had emerged, she had to report it back as soon as possible.

However, just as she was about to send the message, she received some startling news.

Reports were flooding in—Heretic Gods were appearing all over the world.

Not only that, strange spatial fluctuations were being detected.

Something—something terrifying—seemed to be descending.

The whole world was beginning to change.

Receiving this message, Erica was shaken.

"W-What happened?"

"Why is it like this?"

Erica stared blankly at her phone.

What was happening to the world?

So many Heretic Gods descending?

Right now, Erica was truly bewildered.

She couldn't comprehend the situation at all.

Heretic Gods were descending on a global scale.

And the world was undergoing changes?

No matter how she thought about it, it was just too overwhelming.

...

Back on Takumi's end, he had already obtained everything he wanted.

The method to create Teigu, along with some leftover materials.

All of it was found in the Minister's treasure chamber.

He even found various Teigu stored there.

Of course, Takumi wasn't going to miss the chance.

After collecting everything, he sought out Esdeath.

At that moment, Esdeath was already engaged in battle with the Revolutionary Army.

Arriving at the scene, all he saw was an icy field.

Most of the Revolutionary Army had been frozen solid.

Of course, Esdeath wasn't indiscriminately slaughtering them.

Some people—she had only immobilized temporarily.

Takumi approached and handed something to her.

"This is a spatial storage device."

"Gather all of this world's Teigu and related items."

"In a little while, this world will fully merge into another."

"Let's finish dealing with things here quickly."

With those instructions, Takumi turned and left.

As for the rest? Takumi didn't plan on interfering anymore.

Besides, Akame and the others had already been transferred.

He figured Kaguya must've brought them under control by now.
