Chapter 426 -322: Land of Slaying God_1

In the end, Duanmu Huai did not decide to exchange this warship. For one, he didn’t need it right now, and secondly, the refresh of the supernatural event made him a bit…worried.

Yep, so he decided to keep it for the time being, setting it aside for future considerations.

There was no urgent need for it anyway.

To Duanmu Huai, Dardanier’s request was just a sudden random event that didn’t consume much of his time. Therefore, after dealing with Pandora’s trouble, he returned to his room and opened the system list.

[Special Divine Occupation Task—God Slayer]

[Task Objective: Destroy a God System, Slay all gods]

[As the God of Destruction, you must make all beings aware that your destruction is everywhere, omnipresent… Whether mortal or deity, all will eventually be consumed by your fury, utterly burnt by the flames of destruction.]

“Hmm… What exactly is this thing?”

Duanmu Huai stared at the task in front of him, pondering. This was a task activated when he broke the illusion in Duel City. The players had never activated such a special divine occupation task as they had no divine statuses, only various professions, but no divinity. So, Duanmu Huai didn’t really know how to interpret this divine task at the moment.

However, based on his experience, profession-based tasks were essentially to enhance the skills of the profession itself or to provide exclusive abilities. Divine tasks should not be very different. Could it be that his God of Destruction class had new skills to learn?

However, the requirement to annihilate an entire God System… It wasn’t a small demand.

Anyway, he decided, check it out first and then decide.

With that in mind, Duanmu Huai once again activated the Dream Crystal, starting the task. The next moment, a dazzling light flashed before his eyes, followed by a violent storm drenching his face.

Confronted with the sudden storm, Duanmu Huai instinctively squinted his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself standing on the street of an ancient city. The city seemed to have been attacked, with fires burning everywhere, dead bodies on the ground, and soldiers engaged in a ruthless killing spree.

Anyway, this was certainly not the modern era.

Looking at the bodies around him, Duanmu Huai frowned. Judging from their clothing, they came from an ancient time… So, was this a mythical war?

“Boom!!”

As Duanmu Huai pondered, the entire city suddenly trembled. Duanmu Huai looked towards the origin of the noise. He saw a giant man, dozens of meters tall, waving his hands and trampling soldiers mercilessly on the battlefield outside the city. However, the soldiers on the ground showed no fear of this giant man, hold torches, and bows and arrows, they launched an attack on him.

Of course, their efforts were fruitless.

“Alright, this indeed seems to be a mythical war — hopefully it’s not some scene from Gulliver’s Travels.”

Seeing the giant in front of him, Duanmu Huai silently pulled out his war hammer and jumped, rushing towards the giant man who was wreaking havoc on the battlefield!

Even though Duanmu Huai had no idea who this giant was, no matter what, he seemed to be an intruder, right?

The giant man wasn’t aware of Duanmu Huai flying from the sky towards him, and continued to stomp around, focusing on playing with the soldiers on the ground. Duanmu Huai wouldn’t be foolish enough to warn him. He gripped his war hammer, battling the storm, charging directly at the giant. Simultaneously, Duanmu Huai quietly pulled out a card.

Firstly—[Armed Enhancement]!

Then—[Mobile Armor]!

Finally—Predetermined Death!

Duanmu Huai did not know the origins of his opponent, so he aimed to make the first strike lethal, if not at least crippling. Therefore, he immediately activated his enhancement and defense, summoning the black flames of Predetermined Death. Black flames erupted from Duanmu Huai’s war hammer, encasing him in a fiery embrace. With a roar, Duanmu Huai, along with his hammer, transformed into a black arrow, charging directly at the giant’s head!

“What!?”

Perhaps sensing Duanmu Huai’s power, the giant paused from his fun game with the soldiers, looking up to see Duanmu Huai descending with his war hammer aimed at his forehead. Surprised, the giant quickly raised his hands to protect his face, as if to say—don’t hit my face!

“Boom!!”

The next moment, Duanmu Huai’s war hammer fiercely slammed into the giant’s hands. A powerful shockwave mixed with the erupting black flames exploded instantaneously. The giant howled and retreated rapidly, and Duanmu Huai saw him shrink quickly, deflating like a punctured ball.

“Who are you?!”

By the time Duanmu Huai landed, the giant had shrunk to the height of an average person, albeit still taller than most humans, not far off from Duanmu Huai’s height. He stared at Duanmu Huai angrily, his eyes filled with shock.

“I am the War God Ares! You bastard, from where did you come, daring to sneak attack me? What is your relationship with Athena?!”

“Athena… oh…”

Duanmu Huai was initially somewhat unfamiliar with the name Ares, but upon hearing Athena, he immediately understood.

Well, obviously, he’s ended up in Greek mythology.

Although Duanmu Huai isn’t very familiar with foreign mythology, he does have some understanding of Greek mythology.

It’s quite simple.

Athena, Saint Fighter, the Twelve Houses. These are all too familiar, even if he didn’t quite understand it as a child, he had heard about it growing up.

No need to mention the rest.

Those who haven’t read Greek mythology won’t find these terms unfamiliar either.

However, looking at the current situation, this person in front of him isn’t wearing the armor of a Saint Fighter. So, he likely wasn’t in the world of Saint Fighters. So, is this the world of Greek mythology?

Duanmu Huai doesn’t know much about Greek mythology, but if he were to tag it…

It would probably be… human-beast relationships, incestuous relationships, promiscuity?

That’s essentially how Duanmu Huai remembers it.

For example, Zeus is a lecher, a group of men fighting over a woman, and so on… aren’t these typical scenarios? He remembered that some of his classmates used Greek mythology as something akin to erotic literature… come to think of it, Greek mythology is indeed messy enough.

But that’s not a problem.

Upon learning that he had come to Greek mythology, Duanmu Huai was immediately relieved. If he had ended up in “Fengshen Bang” (Investiture of the Gods), he might have had to consider whether to help the Elucidation Sect or the Interception Sect. But since this is the world of Greek mythology, full of filthy and ugly beings that exude a primal aura… well, there’s no question then.

Just attack straight on! Regardless of who it is, assaulting them raises no psychological pressure at all.

“Prepare to die!”

Duanmu Huai didn’t bother to waste words with Ares or explain his origins. He stepped forward abruptly, his hand gripping the Thunder Warhammer fueled by the black flames of predetermined death, and he smashed it down on Ares. Ares too swiftly summoned a great axe ablaze with fire, and met Duanmu Huai’s charge.

“Who in the world are you? Did that bitch Athena bewitch you? Who are you?!”

War God Ares’s confusion isn’t surprising. The gods of Greek mythology are largely related by blood. They’re basically one large family, familiar with one another, even if not closely acquainted. Unless there are half-god offspring left behind godly beings who were bored in mortal realm, it’s hard for there to be anyone they didn’t know.

However, Ares could feel that the young man in front of him wasn’t one of those semi-divine progeny possessing divine power, but a genuine deity! His force was so wild, almost akin to his own, yet imbued with a terrifying sensation as if it could destroy everything, as if it bore the aura of Hades’ underworld.

Who on earth was this guy? Could he be Athena’s lover?

“No matter who you are, if you dare to challenge me, Ares, death is your only path!!”

Despite not knowing Duanmu Huai’s origins, Ares wouldn’t back down. On the contrary, Duanmu Huai’s appearance stirred his rage even further. He always despised Athena, who was also a god of war, and believed that Zeus, their father, favored her. Thus, he had led a huge army to attack Athens. Since the gods of Greece couldn’t kill each other because they were siblings, Ares didn’t worry about Athena coming to duel him one-on-one.

But he hadn’t expected that instead of Athena, a bald guy clad in strange armor would show up.

“I will kill you, and then sever your head to show that bitch the outcome of her smooth speeches! Regardless of what benefits that whore promised you, if you stand in my way, death is your only destination!”

“Let’s see if you have the ability!”

Duanmu Huai roared in response, charging at Ares once again.

“Clang, clang, clang!!”

The fierce red flame-imbued battle axe and the black flame-possessed war hammer clashed against each other again and again. Ares, as a war god, naturally wielded formidable strength. Duanmu Huai, as an emerging god of destruction, was not yet supremely powerful, but more than enough to deal with Ares.

Strictly speaking, using the standards of Star Ocean Online, the Greek pantheon would be classified as indigenous gods, almost on the same level as Duanmu Huai’s current state. And for Duanmu Huai, this was also a great test of his abilities.

And so, the battle between the god of war and the god of destruction began!
