The Paladin on the Infinite Tour

36.The God-King of the Mediterranean

At the same time, deep in the forest.

After breaking away from the floating feeling brought by the space control magic and touching the ground with her feet, Li Sushang immediately noticed the surrounding situation - the environment was quite dim. Although it was not so dark that she could not see her fingers, it was still difficult to see. I can clearly see a scene that is too far away. I cannot see it clearly even if it is about five or six meters away from me.

It was still dawn, and the sunlight was not dazzling, but even so, there shouldn't be such a dim environment.

"It's underground, Miss Sushang."

"Whoa!"

The sudden sound in her ears startled Li Sushang.

Looking around, Shajo Aige didn't know when she appeared next to her.

"Girl Ai Ge? Why are you here? Aren't you dealing with that young god with your junior uncle?"

"The prince alone is enough over there." Shajo Aige said with a smile, "What's more, I have given him all kinds of information about Veleslana and the key trump card to kill the gods. Well, I basically have nothing to do there anymore. So I came to you. This is Miss Sushang’s first time fighting in a different world, and she needs some guidance in all aspects."

"The other thing is... out of some concern for you, right? The prince specifically told me on the way here to support you."

(Little uncle...)

Li Sushang was a little surprised: "Then he said that he would leave it to me next?"

"That's how the prince is. He says he doesn't care, but he still gives some help in action. He says he doesn't care, but he is always thinking about it in his heart - only at this time, the prince is [ Tsundere]."

Proud?

what is that?

As an ancient, Li Sushang doesn't understand this special modern adjective, but judging from the context, this should be a compliment to the junior uncle, right?

"So, the god I want to deal with is inside, right?"

"Well, it's right inside. This is the underground of the ruins deep in the forest. If you continue forward, there is an underground temple. There is a quite ancient divinity in it."

As Shatiao Aige spoke, she wiped Li Sushang's eyes, and Li Sushang's dim vision suddenly became much brighter.

"This is?"

"It's just a little magic. There aren't many magics I can use in this state, so I can only give you some assistance as much as possible. Okay, let's move on."

After saying that, Shatiao Aige took the lead and floated down into the depths. Upon seeing this, Li Sushang quickly followed up the stairs to catch up.

The stairs leading to the depths of the underground were not too short. Li Sushang and Shatiao Aige walked down for nearly ten minutes before reaching the deepest point. They encountered several forks on the way, but with Shatiao Aige there, Li Sushang did not get lost.

And after reaching the deepest point——

"Here we are."

Just like the famous Chinese legend "Peach Blossom Spring", Li Sushang's vision suddenly became brighter and wider when she walked out of the dark passage. It was clearly deep underground, but there seemed to be an invisible light source on the ceiling. The same, making the huge underground space as bright as day.

Slightly humid air rushed towards Li Suchang's field of vision, and a pool of spring water continuously spurted out.

But compared to this somewhat special underground environment, what is more eye-catching is the figure sitting next to the spring.

"Human beings who have been doomed to die...how long ago was the last time I had a face-to-face conversation with a being like you?"

The rough sound of thunder shook the underground space.

The speaker was a strong man.

Even if he is roughly tall, he is over two meters tall. His appearance is quite wild and slovenly. His hair and beard are thick and messy at the same time. He has probably never been taken care of. The whole body is covered with plump muscles, and just by looking at it, you can tell how much explosive power his body contains.

Wearing very rough clothing, except for the tattered breastplate and battle skirt, he has no other armor - but what people can't ignore is that there is a golden broken sword stuck in his chest. .

Majestic, powerful, and sacred, full of majesty.

After fully seeing the figure of this strong man, Li Suchang had such a feeling, as if he was facing a transcendent individual who was far above him in terms of personality and way of existence.

This is indeed the case.

"Is this...the ancient god-king?"

"That's right."

Shajo Aige walked forward with a smile and raised her skirt slightly to salute the god in front of her: "Let me see - it is really an extremely complex divinity. This world is really interesting. It combines the gods from different myths. Gods regard the same god as different manifestations in different regions, which ultimately results in a large amount of divinity being concentrated on one god. Although this is not the case in my world, this world should be particularly concentrated on this point. Bar."

"The god of war, Hercules, the god of storms, the sun god, the patron saint, the god of agriculture, the dragon-slaying hero... is there even the divinity of the devil? The devil, the king of insects, the devil... .It really has all the divinity that can be sewn together. With such a complex divinity, it is no wonder that it can beat the ever-victorious God of War until his power is torn apart."

Listening to Shajo Aige's words that had no godly meaning, the God King sitting cross-legged by the water couldn't help but laugh: "Have you seen through my divinity one by one? I have a very good talent, miko."

"Compared to being a miko, I am called a [witch] more."

"Well, witch, since you know that I am the God King, you should also understand that speaking without permission in front of the God King is a grave sin! Leave quickly before I get completely angry! I don't even understand the etiquette for the king. Little people! Then go to the ground to spread the word to more mortals, telling others that Mercato is very angry at the juniors who polluted his territory. I will smash such a small island with my own hands and throw it into the sea! "

Mercato.

The God King took the initiative to reveal his true name.

That was the mythical god-king believed by the Phoenicians, who oversaw the ancient Phoenician god realm. This name may not be well known, but in addition to the name Mercato, he also has the alias "Baal". He is also regarded as one of the prototypes of Hercules, and the legend of his dragon slaying is also The prototype of St. George is also the Demon King of Gluttony in Christian culture... In short, he is an ancient man who has left a strong color in various myths in the Mediterranean region and possesses a large number of composite divinities due to the spread of myths. gods.

【God King】

This title is well-deserved.

"It doesn't matter."

Faced with Mercato’s oracle, Shajo Aige had no intention of obeying at all: “I believe that compared to the crimes we are going to commit next, just telling lies in front of you is nothing but an insignificant trivial matter. ——Veleslana, the war god who thrust the golden sword into your chest is now being destroyed by my prince."

"The divine war triggered by the two will lead to the sinking of Sardinia. This may be a matter of course to the two of them, but for today's world, the sinking of an island is a major loss that cannot be ignored."

"So, Veleslana and Mercato, it's up to us to stop you two from trying to sink the island for your own selfish purposes - that's what the prince said."

"And the person who is about to destroy you and achieve the great deed of killing gods..."

After taking a few steps back and coming behind Li Sushang, Shatiao Aige smiled and said: "——Go, Miss Sushang, your stage will be next."

"Kill the God King beautifully."

37. Taixu, killing gods

Li Sushang felt that Shatiao Aige was deliberately making it more difficult for her.

Although she really came here to kill the God King in front of her, Shajo Aige's provocative words directly gave her the worst possible start!

"--hahahahahahahaha!"

Mercato's heroic laughter suddenly sounded at this moment!

The underground space shook involuntarily amid the laughter, the ground trembled unnaturally, and the dome continued to shake off falling rocks - as if the underground space was about to collapse due to Mercato's laughter!

"Arrogant!"

The moment the laughter ended, Mercato stood upright from the spring and was so shocked!

"A human being who is as weak as an ant actually attempts to fight me - God King Mercato -! He even attempts to kill me! It is really arrogant! Just this arrogance of not taking the divine power in sight is enough Let me crush you and destroy you forever!"

In an instant, just when Mercato made such a declaration, Shatiao Aige and Li Sushang heard a dense buzzing sound at the same time!

insect?

Li Sushang thought so for the first time, but soon she knew that she was wrong.

In the field of vision of her and Shatiao Aige, a large number of locusts appeared without warning at some time! And it’s not just dozens or hundreds, but thousands or tens of thousands! Like a storm of locusts! Countless locusts are ready to move!

"——!"

Li Sushang and Shatiao Aige subconsciously felt physical discomfort!

(How come there are so many locusts!?)

If there was a trypophobia patient here, he would be driven crazy on the spot. Even people who do not have trypophobia will almost suffer from fresh trypophobia when they see this scene in front of them!

And the next moment——

"Crunch, crunch, crunch!"

Countless locusts let out weird cries, turned into waves that could eat up everything, and flew towards Li Suchang one after another!

"Alas--!"

Li Sushang was immediately frightened and instinctively took half a step back.

But the step she felt on her heels instantly reminded her of what she should be doing now!

【We are going to fight a battle we cannot afford to lose】

[Go and kill the God King beautifully]

(......Yes, what I should do now is——)

Quickly re-entering the heart of Ming Jing Zhishui, the sword heart that had already reached the Taixu realm made Li Sushang abandon all unnecessary emotions the moment she entered this state, and focused all her mental power on the next battle!

The two fingers of his right hand joined together to form sword fingers. After using the skill of Taixu Sword Qi, which he had already used, Li Sushang pointed forward——

"boom------------!!!!!"

The aqua blue sword light instantly occupied every inch of space in front of her!

【Open Sword·Split the Sky】

One of the twenty-one types of Taixu Sword Qi, Li Sushang's original intention was to clear out the locusts closest to her first, but at this moment, the power she released made her feel a little strange!

The aqua blue sword light was like a tsunami washing over the earth! All the locusts were literally submerged in it! Then he strangled them all with endless sword energy to the point where not even a little bit of debris was left! The field of vision that was filled with countless locusts just now is so empty and too clean at this moment!

(Is this...is this my power?)

Li Sushang looked at her hands in disbelief.

When did you develop your Taixu Sword Qi to this point?

"This is the power given to you by the prince, Miss Sushang." Shajo Aige's voice sounded behind him, "The power of the Sekiryuutei is called [the power of killing gods]. The biggest reason is that even if it is only In an instant, he can also make a powerless mortal acquire the power of divine destruction that surpasses that of gods."

"This is...the power that my junior uncle gave me?"

Feeling the constant stirring in her body and the warmth flowing through her limbs, Li Suchang suddenly felt a warmth in her heart - everything will be left to her next, isn't this from the beginning? Weren't you prepared to leave her alone from the beginning?

It's really the same as what Sajo Aige said, saying one thing but doing another thing in action.

(However, I still quite like this kind of young master.)

"Did you wipe out my followers with one blow?"

At this moment, Mercato also paid attention to Li Sushang.

"I didn't expect that I would be wrong one day. It seems that you are not a fragile human being, but a warrior with his own pride - okay! Just think of it as a warm-up before fighting that stinky gold again. I Let me be your opponent! Unknown warrior!"

"Come and show your power to me, God-King Mercator, and be crushed by me after that!"

Rumble, rumble————————!

With Mercato's roar, the dome suddenly shattered!

A blinding flash of light tore the sky apart, and fell from the sky like a torrential rain!

(It is the power of thunder, Miss Sushang!)

Mercator is the god of storms and the sky. Like Veleslana, he is good at controlling the weather and summoning thunder and storms to ravage his enemies.

However, facing the thunderstorm that fell like a torrential rain, Li Sushang showed no fear or retreat at all, and waved her sword finger again!

"Swish, swish, swish, swish!"

Thousands of aqua lightsabers appeared out of thin air behind her! It turned into a swift rain of swords and directly met the thunder!

“Bang bang bang bang bang bang——————————!!!”

Continuous explosions erupted in the underground space! The terrifying impact and raging thunder smashed the entire underground space into shape, exposing the temple buried deep underground to the sky for the first time in millions of years!

And at the moment when the explosion stopped, a stream of light suddenly rushed into the sky from below!

There was a lightsaber under her feet, and dozens of sword blades forming a ring were suspended behind her. Li Suchang put one hand behind her back, and raised the other hand in front of her, looking down at Mercato below.

"Speaking of which, it seems that I haven't reported my name yet."

Li Sushang smiled.

She doesn't feel that she will lose now. Although they are not together, the power that exists in his body and the contract that has not yet been terminated make her feel as if she is standing behind Exia.

I have my own junior uncle here!

Therefore, she doesn't think she will lose to the gods.
