Swing out.

Ragnarok: Chapter 429 The Story of the Frog and the Snake (Part 2)

With a powerful sonic boom, the massive pillar exploded layer by layer. The lower half turned into dust, while the upper half, propelled by the immense force, flew into the sky at a speed more than ten times faster than its descent, until it completely disappeared from sight.

Witnessing this scene, Kanako Yasaka involuntarily opened her mouth. Half a second later, she summoned as many samurai as she could as possible to continue the attack. Without saying a word, she rushed to the ground, grabbed the bewildered Suwako Moriya, and turned to flee.

Behind them, as Lin Yi slowly punched and kicked all the dozen or so pillars out of the atmosphere, the two otherworldly gods had already escaped the Nine Provinces.

"...They've given it so much time already, could it be that they hit too hard and damaged his brain? No, that can't be right, he should have deliberately avoided hitting his head."

With a sense of doubt, I took a step forward. Under the rules of space, unless it is an environment like Tiamat's "Sea of ​​Life," where the surrounding space is filled with "foreign objects," all concepts of distance are meaningless.

Just as Yasaka Kanako thought she was safe and was about to stop and rest, she almost collapsed when she saw the "obstacle" appear in front of her.

Fortunately, its long life as a deity had instilled in it a mindset that would never give up, even in times of crisis. Suppressing its negative emotions, it asked, "What do you want to do?"

"As you can see."

He clenched his fist, a simple action that, amplified by immense power, compressed and expelled some of the surrounding air, creating a sonic boom of moderate size: "Godslayer."

Kanako Yasaka's pupils contracted slightly, but she was still unwilling to give up: "Is this why you made us manifest in the mortal world?"

"No, but is there still a difference now?"

Facing Lin Yi's unfriendly smile, Yasaka Kanako attempted one last attempt to persuade him: "For you, killing gods like us is meaningless, isn't it? If that's the case, why do these pointless things?"

"I think you're overthinking it."

Glancing at Suwako Moriya, who was gradually recovering, Lin Yi had no intention of taking advantage of the opportunity to make a move. Instead, he perfectly fulfilled the plot of "villains die from talking too much" and continued to say in a superior manner: "In this world, gods are not objects of worship for us. On the contrary, so-called gods are used to kill in this world."

"To kill gods and seize their power, one will ultimately become a god-slayer who transcends humanity and even the gods!"

As Lin Yi spoke, the gazes of the two otherworldly gods gradually changed.

"In other words, the aura of these gods within you..."

"Oh, you mean this?"

He opened his palm, and lightning, yellow sand, a disc... more than ten powers, seized from four otherworldly gods and two god-slayers, appeared in his hand: "That's right, each power here represents the fall of a god. Feel honored, you ignorant beings from other worlds. Your deaths will become my powerful resources. When I finally reach that transcendent state, you will have played a small but significant role in that great moment."

"Now, let us eat you all first—!!!"

crazy.

It's not just the self-proclaimed "Godslayer" before us, but also the humans of this world, to the point that the world itself has gone mad.

Killing gods and seizing their power... If that's really the case, then what are the gods of this world?

Livestock kept in captivity by humans?

If there's no need, just leave them alone; if there is, pull one or two down, kill them, and seize their power...

Unconsciously, Kanako Yasaka thought of those humans from the era of faith.

Compared to that time, only the era has changed for humans and gods, but the essence has not changed. When the gods held power, they could kill and plunder humans at will. However, they did not expect that in this world where those who held power had become humans, it was the gods who were truly treated like livestock.

The newly arrived deity of this other world naturally did not know that such a thing as a "disobedient god" existed in this world, nor how difficult it was for a god-slayer to be born. The limited information provided by Lin Yi, and Lin Yi's "obvious" example, had already shown her too many "truths" about this world.

Thus, for the first time, this deity, who had always been worshipped by humans, felt fear.

"...Leave here, Suwako."

"What did you say? You're just going to let this guy go like that?!"

"Calm down. This is no time to get caught up in emotions. Just like he said, this world is far too dangerous for us gods."

There are two reasons why people are prevented from confronting God: one is that God is too powerful, and the other is that even if people kill God, it would be meaningless—it would neither give them power nor honor, and they would even be targeted by their own kind because of their followers. However, in this world, these two standard rules have been completely broken.

Even the mighty dragons of a fantasy world weren't completely wiped out by a swarm of humans because of their own treasures and the lure of "dragon slayers." Under such circumstances, even if she could truly regain her lost faith in this world, Kanako Yasaka would never do it.

"This world is not suitable for us... not suitable for all the gods."

"But, if we just go back to Gensokyo like this—"

"If you won't go, I'll go back by myself."

The unwavering resolve in those brief words was captured by Suwako Moriya. After considering her own chances of defeating the monster before her, Suwako Moriya had to suppress her yearning for faith and nod with difficulty: "...I understand."

"Very good. We will unleash our strongest attack to block this guy. Don't be stingy with the consumption of faith power. Meanwhile, we will open the passage to Gensokyo."

"What if he catches up to Gensokyo? Given his ability to move countless distances just now, there's a good chance he'll follow us in when we open the passage."

Kanako Yasaka's expression shifted between light and shadow, but she finally made up her mind: "Let the creation of the Great Barrier handle this kind of problem."

"start!"

When the attack from the two otherworldly gods arrived late, Lin Yi, caught off guard, was knocked into the sea. Beneath the vast waves, he watched as the two otherworldly gods opened a passage to the "Gensokyo" they spoke of. Just as he breathed a sigh of relief and was about to end this meaningless drama, an "echo" suddenly came from the depths of the sea.

"Hmm? Should we warn them not to come back?"

Ragnarok: Chapter 430 The Weak's Counterattack (Part 1)

The information from Gaia, the aggregate of world consciousness, is not difficult to understand. If Lin Yi handles it now, there will be no problem. However, if Lin Yi leaves the world, the force behind these two otherworldly gods, known as "Gensokyo," may become curious about this world. If they make a comeback, the power of this active world itself may not be able to withstand the invasion.

After clarifying these causes and effects, they did not intend to refuse the request from Gaia.

"No matter how you look at it, it's something I caused myself."

He muttered to himself, drawing out a large, mysterious bow from the subspace, then projecting a longsword onto it, aiming it at the world passage in mid-air that was not yet completely closed.

"thunder."

"fire."

With the blessing of spiritual energy, the originally merely sturdy blade was filled with destructive energy, and even its originally smooth shape cracked with streaks of lightning and fire as the internal energy overflowed.

Lin Yi narrowed his eyes slightly as he gazed at the passageway.

"……wind."

Amidst the swirling winds, the Thunderfire Sword silently cleaved through the spatial barrier, passing directly through the narrow "passage" to the other side. At the same moment, the passage was sealed off.

Freed from the constraints of the other end's will, the sword's structure, filled with spiritual energy, shattered completely. The internal lightning and fire-attribute spiritual energy merged and intertwined with the wind-attribute spiritual energy on the surface, accompanied by an explosion of scorching light even more dazzling than the sun hanging in the sky. It roared through the sky of the human village, tearing apart half of the Hakurei Shrine, burning one-fifth of the trees in the magic forest, and shattering the flowers along an entire "path" in the sunflower field. Finally, under the watchful eyes of countless people, it fell into the Youkai Mountain.

After a brief silence, light burst forth.

The world on the other side.

Is this okay?

Upon receiving satisfactory information from the World Consciousness Aggregator, Lin Yi put away his longbow and used a spatial teleportation to leave the sea area.

Compared to the events in the Indian Ocean, the Sahara Desert, and the Mediterranean, the damage from this fourth "disaster" in Japan was almost minor. Apart from the fact that a few kilometers of mountainous forests were razed to the ground, there was not much loss... if we ignore the fact that Japan's largest mysterious organization, the Committee for the Compilation of Official Histories, was almost completely wiped out.

It was almost a total annihilation, but in reality, it was a total wipeout. Most of the high-ranking members and powerful combatants, including the leaders of the committee, died in their brief encounter with the "disaster." Only Ena Kiyoshuin, who was nominally related to Kusanagi Godou, was saved in the end, but as a price, Kusanagi Godou, one of the five remaining Godslayers, was seriously injured and fell into a coma.

Fortunately, with the support of the Japanese mystical side, which had already lost too much power and was unwilling to jeopardize its last hope, Kusanagi Godou was able to recover from his serious injuries. However, after that, the entire mystical side tacitly kept silent about that "disaster".

Just when Kusanagi Godou was about to lose his temper in such a depressing atmosphere, an unexpected "visitor" appeared before him.

“Athena, in your name, should be the disobedient goddess Athena.”

The girl wore a thin sweater, a mini skirt, and black knee-high socks. She wore a blue knitted hat over her silver hair and went straight to the point almost the first time she saw Kusanagi Godou: "I have come to seek an alliance with you, Godslayer."

Subsequently, through the explanation of this disobedient god, Kusanagi Godou finally understood that the "disaster" affected far more than just the human world; even the divine realm, which was beyond human reach, was deeply affected.

"In this world, every god possesses power—this is what you seize after killing the disobedient gods. However, the holder of power is not static. Just as you seized a portion of the power of the disobedient god Veleslana, the real Veleslana will also lose a portion of that power. And if one day you die or are defeated by someone else, then that portion of power will either return to Veleslana or be taken away by the one who defeated you."

"However, 'his' appearance changed everything."

"So far, 'he' has summoned six gods, and without exception, none of them are from this world, but gods from another world."

Hearing this, Kusanagi Godou had a vague idea in mind: "Gods from another world... then what are their powers?"

"You guessed right. Their powers conflicted with the powers we possess. As a result of the conflict, some of the true gods were permanently stripped of their powers, including those symbolizing 'thunder,' 'desert,' and 'sun.' Even the great 'Creator God' had a portion of his powers forcibly stripped away... And these stripped-away portions were ultimately usurped by 'him' with the death of the otherworldly gods."

"But you can take it back once 'he' dies or fails, right?"

After a long silence, he said, "...'He' could not possibly be dead."

"Eh?"

"This is a prophecy from the Mother of the World. All you need to know is that 'he' is an existence that cannot be killed. In fact, even if it is possible to kill him, you absolutely must not do so, unless you want to bring greater calamity upon this world."

After glossing over this part of the information, Athena continued with the original topic: "Because 'he' is destined to be immortal, we can only defeat 'him' to reclaim these powers. For this, I need your help."

"you?"

“I have contacted the other four Godslayers among you, and they have agreed to my request.”

After delivering this shocking news in a calm tone, Athena paused, then said, "This is not only our last chance, but also for you god-slayers and all of humanity. If we allow him to continue to seize more power, then everyone will lose their last glimmer of hope."

Kusanagi Godou clenched his fists, his expression one of struggle.

Looking back on each and every interaction.

Each encounter was already incredibly powerful, yet the next encounter revealed that it was merely the tip of the iceberg. Even now, having faced an attack directly and been severely injured, there's no way to prove that it represents the full extent of the opponent's power. Under such circumstances, should we really join this operation?

"I promise you."

Ultimately, what convinced Kusanagi Godou was the image of several girls that appeared in his mind.

(Even for your sake, I must fight!)

Ragnarok: Chapter 431 The Weak's Counterattack (Part 2)

Based on his experiences in the Mediterranean and Japan, Lin Yi realized that "summoning gods" in this world was impossible in any region with a pantheon that was either too powerful or too weak. With the lessons learned from his previous four attempts, Lin Yi figured he should be able to proceed to the final step.

"Speaking of Heaven and Purgatory, it would be simpler to start the search from the origin, wouldn't it?"

The term "heaven" is frequently used in various pantheons and beliefs, and generally refers to the place where the souls of the dead reside after they ascend to heaven.

If Lin Yi were to search solely using "Heaven" as a clue, he would have to make at least six more summons, including those from Taoism, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Catholicism, and Mormonism. Considering that other faiths that are not widely known but have similar concepts also exist, it is not impossible to increase this number tenfold if he were to try them one by one.

However, adding another concept to this "paradise" makes all the difference.

"Purgatory".

Both are places where the soul resides after death, but purgatory and heaven represent two extremes: one is extreme bliss, and the other is extreme evil. When the two appear together, the scope of the pantheon shrinks by more than half. After all, in the old days, in order to deter the lower classes from causing trouble, rulers often resorted to such mental intimidation, resulting in a wide variety of "purgatory" forms.

There are various theories, such as the eighteen levels of hell, the underworld, and the six realms of reincarnation.

Of course, that's not enough. Subtracting half from sixty leaves thirty, so Lin Yi has to continue filtering based on that. And the intelligence he obtained in the previous world comes in handy at this time.

"There are many pantheons in Heaven, and even with Purgatory, there are still quite a few. But what if we add an 'angel' and a 'demon' to Heaven and Purgatory?"

Even without witnessing it firsthand, Lin Yi had heard from other species more than once in the world of the sixteen races about the two main "characters" who appeared in the last great war. The representative species of the Order Force was the Angels—not the inferior products created by Arceus, but a more complete and independent species.

The species capable of confronting those powerful angels are the demons, representing the forces of chaos. These two races, both from another world, waged a long struggle on the same battlefield, which ultimately ended with the infernal side closing the world portal. However, the victorious Order faction did not expect that another invader would suddenly appear at the very end of their plunder of the spoils of victory...

Returning to the present, given all this information, if Lin Yi still can't determine the affiliation of this pantheon, he probably shouldn't be wasting his time in this world. He might as well commit suicide and save his main body from wasting time.

"Christianity or Catholicism, or even if they are not, they are not far apart."

A spatial warp transports Lin Yi to Western Europe—the birthplace of two ancient religions—where he begins preparations for his fifth, and possibly final, "divine summoning."

"If I'm not mistaken, under the interference of another 'fragment,' this Heaven and Purgatory are definitely not as simple as they are portrayed in mythology."

Even a mere zero-activity world was transformed into a low-to-medium activity world by Lin Yi, who had just acquired the "fragment." If time and conditions allowed, it wouldn't be impossible to modify a medium-activity or medium-to-high-activity world into a high-activity world. Furthermore, considering the basic conditions of Heaven and Purgatory, it's quite possible that they were originally high-activity worlds. So, what if they were to continue modifying them on the basis of high activity?

"...God, does a world beyond high activity exist?"

【exist】

"What are the chances of me dying if I enter that kind of world?"

[The probability of the information entity disappearing is 99.99%, the probability of the main entity dying is 37.18%, and the probability of the main god being exposed is 11.9%. This data is based on a completely antagonistic situation between the two sides.]

Lin Yi was taken aback upon receiving the precise data: "I can roughly understand the main body's data and yours. After all, it's about confronting the entire world as a whole, and it's normal for there to be this level of danger when you act at all costs. But what about me? If I were to enter and immediately come out, there wouldn't be a 99.99% success rate, would there?"

The asymmetry of intelligence will lead to information interception, and this world has a fairly high probability of having come across cases of adjustments to the basic rules. In order to preserve the confidentiality of the main information, the information entity has a greater than 99.99% probability of choosing to self-destruct.

"...That's really tragic."

After ending the conversation, Lin Yi focused his attention back on the "summoning ritual" in front of him. Even though he knew that this action would lead to his own demise, he still did not try to stop it.
