Chapter 504 - 504: Allegiance and King of Swords Friendliness? (Bonus Chapter)

Just a moment ago, a notification popped up in the chat group:

[Ding! We have detected that you are obtaining abilities "Ten Incarnations" and "Storm Authority" through a special ritual, at the cost of being forcibly changed into a "Godslayer!"]

[Ding! Because all of your sacred power is inviolable, you can never be transformed into a Godslayer!]

[Ding! After making some alterations, you will receive the abilities "Ten Incarnations" and "Storm Authority!"]

"..."

After reading the notification, Rei Ao looked rather amused. It effectively bypassed this world's "Godslayer system" and simply granted him divine Authorities.

But that was precisely what he wanted. He might need certain Authorities, but the identity of a Godslayer was rather superfluous.

Although Godslayers can exercise divine power, the true owners of those Authorities are ultimately the gods of mythology. Even if a Godslayer obtains such powers, it doesn't mean those Authorities truly become theirs; there are curses that accompany that power.

For instance, the "curse" that fixes a Godslayer's magical energy so that it never increases—as Rei Ao sees it, that's essentially being bound by a curse.

No matter how many Authorities they acquire, the upper limit of a Godslayer's power never changes; only the methods and variety of powers differ.

At the same time, other traits typical of a Godslayer, like ironclad bodies or strengthened constitution, hold no meaning for him.

...

From Pandora's viewpoint in the Netherworld, she could see Rei Ao was acting strangely, and her expression froze.

"H–how is this possible?!"

She stared at Rei Ao in shock, looking him up and down. Her gaze was not just surprise but sheer disbelief.

"This can't be! My ritual obviously isn't finished, so how can you already have Authority? And that Authority has already broken away from mythology!"

Pandora fell into chaos. She had lived so long, and every generation of Godslayers was birthed by her hand. But never had she witnessed a case like this.

Normally, the Godslayer inherits the Heretic God's power—at the end of the day, only a fragment of a mythological god's power.

Yet Rei Ao's new Authority had already stepped outside the bounds of myth. It wasn't something she had transferred to him, and it wasn't the mere power of a mythical "Heretic God's avatar."

This truly felt like witnessing an impossibility.

While Pandora stood there, face a mess of confusion, Rei Ao gradually reined in the Authority he'd just displayed. Since he'd now acquired the new powers and also seen Pandora, there was no reason to remain.

"Pandora, it's time I left this place."

He gave her a slight bow, wearing a perfectly composed smile.

"One day, I'll come back to take you out of here—out of mythology. Then, you'll belong to me."

"!!!"

Before Pandora could say anything more, Rei Ao's figure vanished. He... returned of his own accord!

Pandora stood there, staring blankly.

"Wait! Let me make sense of this!"

What on earth had just happened?

First, this new Godslayer gained his Authorities before her ritual completed, and those Authorities were independent of mythology!

Then, he left of his own free will, with no help from her—even though normally, she personally releases the Godslayer from the Netherworld.

What on earth was going on?!

"Am I still supposed to be the one hosting the Godslayer ritual? Or is he actually the one in charge?"

Pandora felt her mental framework collapse. Moreover, Rei Ao's final words echoed in her mind.

"Did my own 'child' just... flirt with me?"

Her face couldn't get any more bizarre.

...

Meanwhile, in the real world...

Rei Ao slowly opened his eyes and was greeted by the sight of Utaha and the others.

"Lord Rei Ao," Erica asked, voice quivering with anticipation, "have you... become a Demon King?"

"..."

After a brief pause, Rei Ao nodded.

"!!!"

Joy erupted on Erica's face. She had just borne witness to the birth of the seventh Godslayer in the world! She immediately dropped to one knee, swearing allegiance without the slightest hesitation:

"I, Erica Browntree, hereby pledge the eternal fealty of the Bronze Black Cross to you, the mighty Demon King and Godslayer!"

"Mmm-hmm. I accept your oath."

Rei Ao smiled faintly and lifted her chin. He knew full well that this clever woman had her own hidden designs. Kusanagi Godou, among the Godslayers, was toyed with by this woman as if he were a pet. Rei Ao didn't mind her scheming because he would show Erica exactly who the master was.

For instance, in her astonished stare, he pressed his lips firmly against hers—a kiss that permitted no resistance.

"This is the price you pay for my protection: You will obey me forever."

He stated it plainly, as though allowing no rebuttal.

"..."

Erica touched her lips, where he'd just gone deeper, her expression complicated. She realized that all her little plans meant nothing to this genuinely powerful man.

He had the ability to control her effortlessly, and any manipulation paled in the face of absolute power.

Momentarily dazed, Erica's gaze became resolved. She understood now: if she couldn't trick him, she might as well give up on that approach and serve honestly as a retainer of the seventh Godslayer.

"Yes. I shall forever obey you!"

Noticing the shift in Erica's eyes, Rei Ao looked pleased. Catching sight of Eriri and Utaha wearing a jealous expression—like they were watching some overwrought soap opera—he shrugged helplessly.

"Don't look at me like that. This is the official method of swearing allegiance in this world, not me messing around."

"Hahahaha!"

At that moment, the "King of Swords," Doni, suddenly came over with a hearty laugh. His gaze was trained on Rei Ao, intense with curiosity.

"Amazing. I saw with my own eyes the birth of the seventh Godslayer."

He introduced himself:

"I am Salvatore Doni, the sixth Godslayer—a King of Swords. You can call me 'Doni.'"

He tried to sling an arm around Rei Ao's shoulders, but Rei Ao quickly dodged—he wasn't about to let another man touch him so familiarly.

Not minding the rebuff, Doni retracted his arm with zero embarrassment and waved his hand at Athena, grinning, "Rei Ao, my friend, we've got an extraordinarily powerful Heretic God over there. I honestly can't handle her by myself. How about you and I take her on together?"
