The Paladin on the Infinite Tour

What does it mean... [leave quickly before being killed]?

"Pandora, what do you mean by this?" Alexia frowned and asked, "Will Su Shang and I... be killed?"

"......Um."

Pandora nodded with a sad look: "I told Xiao Su Shang once before, but she seemed to have forgotten it after she left here. It's no wonder, unless it is a person with a completely pure soul and great enlightenment, otherwise there will be no There is a way to leave here with the memory."

Did you mention it to Su Shang?

"What on earth are you talking about, Pandora?"

Alexia's tone was a bit questioning, and her voice suddenly became louder.

"——[Brave]." Pandora said this word, "Exia, have you ever thought about when did the God-Slayers begin to appear?"

"Um...two hundred years ago?"

"Not."

Pandora shook her head: "That was the time when the first God-killer appeared in [this era]. Long before that, there were other God-killers in this world. After all, there have been countless years from the age of mythology to now. Oh, it’s impossible that God-killers didn’t appear until now, right? I have a lot of children.”

Were there other God-killers earlier than two hundred years ago?

Alexia frowned: "But... there is no record, right?"

"Because they were all killed."

"God-slayers are not eternal existences. Even God-slayers with the power of resurrection have a limit to their lifespan, which should be less than four hundred years old. Because no God-slayer has ever died naturally. , so I don’t know.”

"After all, all my children were killed before they died."

Pandora's tone gradually became lower.

[All the Godslayers have been killed]

This is impossible - this was Exia's first thought.

He is a Godslayer himself, so he understands the life force of Godslayers. It would be fine if it was a natural end of life. It would be impossible to kill the God-Slayer!

First of all, it is impossible for ordinary humans to kill the Godslayer. The curse resistance of the Godslayer is the basis for all magicians to be unable to fight against them, let alone the existence of power. And even for the God of Disobedience, it is difficult to kill the God-Slayer.

After all, the time when a God-Slayer is at his weakest is when he first becomes a God-Slayer. The proficiency in powers is very low, he has only mastered one power, and he does not know how to fight... These are all problems that Godslayer will have at the beginning, and there are only a few weaknesses.

And as the time to become a God Killer gradually increases, the God Killer will inevitably become stronger and stronger. They will gain more powers, become better at fighting, and continue to deepen their proficiency in powers.

In the future, even the God of Disobedience will find it difficult to kill the God Killer, right?

Under such circumstances, how could the God-killers be killed one after another?

"Have you ever read fairy tales? Exia, it's the kind of fairy tale in which a brave man defeats the devil." Pandora asked, "In this kind of story, the devil will be annihilated by the brave in the end - the god-killer. The situation is the same."

"You are called [Demon King]. This is not limited to humans, the gods also call you this way. You are the demon king who killed the gods in the sky, and you are an existence feared by the gods."

"Therefore, in order to destroy the Demon King, the gods chose a [brave] from among them."

Yes, brave.

The only being who can defeat the Demon King.

"When the number of God-killers on the earth exceeds a certain number, the brave will appear and annihilate all the demon kings on the earth. There are already eight god-slayers on the earth, and I am afraid that the conditions for the emergence of the brave have long been met. Come on, I’m afraid it won’t be very late before the brave man wakes up.”

"...Is it very strong? That brave man?" Exia couldn't help but ask.

Since it is a god that can kill multiple Godslayers, it is impossible to say that it is not strong, but no matter how strong the enemy is, based on the words of Exia now——

"Very strong, that brave man." Pandora explained, "The brave man was chosen by the gods and is a powerful god in his own right. In addition, the brave man will also receive blessings from all the gods. Protect and support.”

"For example, when facing multiple god-slayers, your strength will be greatly increased, and you can use any divine tool of any god in mythology at will. Even if you are knocked down, you will not die completely, and you will recover after a while... ...There is so much to say that I can’t even put it into words.”

"In short, the brave man is a [Demon King of Annihilation]. No matter how many God-slayers are gathered, there is absolutely no possibility of defeating him."

Alexia gritted her teeth: "Even if it's me?"

"Well, even if it's you. Even if you are an existence from outside the world, as long as you are still a God-killer, you have no chance of winning against a brave man. The power of a brave man is born to annihilate the God-killer. So... ....."

Pandora reached out and held Alexia's hand.

"Before the brave man wakes up, leave this world quickly. Because you are children from outside the world, I can only ask you this."

"Even if it's just the two of you, mom, I don't want to see all my children die again."

113. Power·Athena’s Favor

The moment Pandora finished speaking, Exia felt that the world around her was becoming illusory.

In just a blink of an eye, his consciousness returned to the real world.

"...Tsk, is the time up?"

Alexia curled her lips.

There seems to be a time limit for going to the realm of immortality. If it is the God of Disobedience or some other kind of life form, it seems that it can stay there for a long time. Of course, the God Killer can also do it, but when he gains power, Ai However, Kesia did not enter physically, but only went there with consciousness.

If you enter for too long, there may be some problems with your consciousness and body, so you will be kicked out soon - this is almost what he learned from Erica and others.

"I really learned something quite interesting."

Shatiao Aige smiled.

"The [hero who annihilates the Demon King] was chosen by the gods to defeat the God-Slayer... I really don't know how to evaluate him. It's clear that the prince is unique in this world. Lord brave."

"I never wanted to be a hero."

"But in terms of behavior and purpose, aren't you a brave man?"

indeed so.

If Honkai and Herrscher are regarded as great disasters and demon kings that endanger the world, then Exia, who has defeated them time and time again, is undoubtedly a hero.

"I can't bear the title of brave yet, and compared to this, I care more about Pandora's attitude."

"Let you and Miss Sushang escape from this world, right?" Shajo Aige frowned dissatisfied, "Let's not forget Miss Sushang, she actually underestimated the power of the prince... If we ignore other things, All possibilities, if she can say such words, it means that the power of that brave man is really unbelievable, right?"

Pandora has actually seen Exia's power several times. It is a power that can easily overwhelm the God of Disobedience and other God-killers.

Even so, she was still persuaded to run away.

(A brave man...?)

"It seems that we need to do some research on this. Please trouble Erica and Liliana when we get back. Since it is a god that has appeared on the earth a long time ago, there should be some records. It is a pity. It’s just too early to leave there, otherwise I could still ask about the brave man’s situation.”

At present, I only know the power of some brave men. If I can know the name of the other party...

"So, Prince, are you not planning to escape?"

"Why run away?"

Alexia grinned: "Even if it is an existence that has killed countless God-killers, I may not lose, right? What's more, I still have a golden sword. Even if the opponent is really much stronger than me, my chance of winning is still there." Definitely not zero.”

Even if the incarnation of [Messiah] faces an enemy that is far stronger than itself, as long as the prerequisite is met, it can unconditionally cleave the opponent's godhead.

As long as this ability exists, Exia will always have a chance of winning.

[You are so full of fighting spirit that you can be called the hero I like. But unfortunately, even in that incarnation, your chance of winning against the brave is less than one in ten thousand]

Suddenly, a slightly cold girl's voice rang in Alexia's ears.

Shajo Aige's expression was suddenly startled, and then it seemed as if something was separated from Alexia. A burst of gray-white mist quietly gathered around him, and finally formed the posture of Athena.

"Athena?"

Alexia was a little surprised.

"Can you come out on your own?"

"Yeah. But my current situation is similar to that of the witch over there. What appears in front of you is just an existence similar to a clone. Without your permission and spell power, I, as a powerful concubine, can't Use your power at will." Athena explained, "Furthermore, what surprises me is that the powers of those who were chopped into pieces by you are now slowly recovering... It seems that There is still a power hidden in you that has never been shown to me, my favorite person."

"Ah, you said that...I don't know the situation of that, but it will be good if your strength can be restored."

When Alexia said this, burning words appeared in her eyes.

Existence x seems to have directly listed for him the powers that Athena can use after becoming powerful.

...

[Power of God·Athena’s Favor]

[Semi-autonomous power]

[The effect is as follows——]

[One: It can be used as an external energy reserve, storing up to 100% of its own energy limit. The reserve cannot be used when the power is not activated. When the power is activated, one's own energy will be automatically replenished to the upper limit]

[Second: When the power is used, the subordinate god Athena can use all the powers originally belonging to the god Athena, and all the required mantras are paid by the main body]

[Third: When the subordinate god Athena appears alone, the consumption of mana power will be exempted for ten minutes. After ten minutes, mana power will need to be continuously consumed to make it appear]

...

Compared with the power possessed by Exia, which combines nine incarnations into one, the effect of the power represented by Athena is simply excessive.

But if you think about it carefully, what lies beneath this seemingly simple ability is incredible power.

External energy reserve - to put it bluntly, this is equivalent to doubling the upper limit of Alexia's spell power. Originally, because after becoming the Fourth True Ancestor and awakening the power of Chimera, Exia's magic power, Honkai energy, and even the curse power after becoming the God Slayer, the total amount of energy he held They are all quite terrifying, and the recovery speed is also extremely fast. In one minute at most, Exia can recover from zero energy to full energy.

But now Athena can allow him to return to his prime in just an instant when his energy is exhausted.

Coupled with the fully automatic healing and forced resurrection that comes with Exia's [Abyss] incarnation...

In comparison, the other two abilities are somewhat inconspicuous.

"I can feel that your spell power is constantly flowing into my body. It will take about half a month to restore all the power. Before that, I may not be able to use it as your power. "

"It doesn't matter. I don't think anything big will happen in half a month. You can rest assured and regain your strength." Alexia reached out and touched Athena's head wearing a knitted hat.

Athena raised her eyebrows: "It's really an act of intimacy. Although I have become your power, I was still your enemy until just now. You were too lax. I am the one you like. .”

"But you are my partner now, right? That doesn't matter." Exia smiled, "Can't you change the name you call me? Just call me by my name, Exia or Messiah Ya, that’s what my family calls me.”

"...This is inappropriate. Even though I was once the queen of the Mediterranean, I am now considered your follower. It would be too rude to call her by her first name."

"Then-"

Alexia was about to say something.

Stare~~~~~

"——!"

A strong feeling of being stared at by a dangerous existence immediately sent a chill down Alexia's back, and her whole body trembled!

And the next moment...

"My lord prince~~~"

Shajo Aige's voice sounded very intimate, but if you taste it carefully, it was inexplicably cold and came to Alexia's ears.

"I think you should explain the current situation to me first?"

"Why does this goddess here, who should be in a state of despair, appear here now as if she wants to replace me?"

It's been a long time - almost half a year in fact.

Alexia smelled the familiar smell again.

The smell of jealousy comes from Shatiao Aige.

114. Competing for favor

Sajo Aige was not taken to the immortal realm this time. Although she knew something about the hero, she learned about it later after synchronizing knowledge with Alexia.

And she didn't know the part about Athena.

Even if she felt the power of Athena in Exia's body, she only thought that it was the power usurped from Athena.

The result is now...

"I have made it very clear."

With a slightly provocative arc at the corner of her mouth, Athena came to Alexia's arms, put her hands on his chest and smiled: "My entire existence has now become his power, and I am his subordinate." God, to put it more directly and exaggeratedly, he can be said to be the master of my body, and I am his servant.”

"Does this seem like a problem to you, witch?"

"Big problem!"
