"Drip, drip…"
Drops of viscous black blood fell into the sea, and in an instant, the entire visible sea area turned into black water. A terrifying, rotten gas, capable of corroding everything, erupted from the sea, enveloping the entire Tokyo Port Ward.
"My, my hand!! Why, why is it melting?!"
"I can't see! I can't see!!!"
"Save me! Save me…"
Soon, wails echoed throughout the entire Port Ward.
Under the influence of that foul gas, buildings, living beings, and roads in the Port Ward began to melt. While buildings and roads were somewhat resistant, humans and other creatures began to rot within seconds.
First the skin, then the eyeballs, flesh, bones… In less than half a minute, the entire Port Ward became a dead city, with viscous fluids from various decomposing organisms and asphalt covering the ground, and the stench was unbearable.
"How truly disgusting."
Noticing that the Port Ward behind him had instantly turned into a dead city, Yu clicked his tongue.
Tokyo Port Ward and central Tokyo were somewhat distant. Yu had already used Wind to confine the pervasive stench within the Port Ward, preventing it from spreading to Shinjuku and affecting the people around him.
"I am a product of human souls. If you find that disgusting, then I would say your souls are ugly."
Seemingly dissatisfied with Yu's words, the Great Disaster God twitched his lips, and his hoarse voice sounded.
"Well, those are necessities for summoning a Heretic God."
Yu did not care. The Great Disaster God might consider human souls dirty and ugly, but the Gods were not any better.
Just like the father of the Great Disaster God, Izanagi, who boasted of bravely going to the Underworld to save his wife, Izanami.
But as soon as he arrived in the Underworld, after countless hardships to meet Izanami, he was so terrified of the defiled Izanami that he suffered a mental breakdown, fled the Underworld at full speed, and even after bathing, several Gods were born from it.
And there was also Zeus, the third-generation king of the gods in ancient Greek mythology. His romantic and promiscuous history needs no further explanation; in short, it is quite explosive.
Comparing the two, humans and Gods were not very different in terms of purity.
"Campione, since you summoned me, it is for one and only one thing. Stop talking nonsense and become a soul under my blade!"
The Great Disaster God did not directly respond to Yu's words; he did not know what to say. His good father, Izanagi, after giving birth to him and his younger brother with the feathered robe, continued to give birth to several more Gods to kill him and his brother.
The Great Disaster God deeply agreed with Yu's statement that humans and Gods were not very different, but one thing he was certain of: Gods were Gods, superior to humans. No matter how miserable they were, it was not for humans to point fingers!
As he was thinking, viscous black water suddenly flowed from the hand of the Great Disaster God. The black water slowly flowed along the black iron handle of the catastrophe blade all the way to its bone blade. In an instant, black light burst forth.
The black water flowing from the body of the Great Disaster God fused with the catastrophe blade. Within a few seconds, the bone blade of the catastrophe blade extended by several inches, no longer resembling a naginata, but more like a strangely shaped long spear.
At the moment the catastrophe blade transformed, the figure of the Great Disaster God vanished again, appearing behind Yu.
It happened almost instantly; even Yu could not react in time.
"Pfft~"
The Great Disaster God raised his hand, and the spear-like catastrophe blade thrust out, grazing the left side of Yu's lower abdomen.
"Hmm? You dodged?"
Seeing that his attack, which should have taken Yu's life, failed to pierce through and instead deviated, only grazing him.
The Great Disaster God naturally did not doubt his attack. Every one of his movements and stances looked like a casual twitch, done to conceal the killing intent of the attack and prevent Yu from sensing it. Yet even so, Yu managed to evade in time.
The Campione before him was far stronger than he had imagined, and far more interesting!
"How truly silent."
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Yu's figure flickered, distancing himself from the Great Disaster God with faint traces of blood, then he glanced back and praised him.
"You flatter me. I am the God of Disaster, naturally silent."
The Great Disaster God smiled faintly, and just as he spoke, the young man opposite him suddenly had silver light flash in his eyes. Instantly, half of the Great Disaster God's body turned into stone salt, while Yu, holding Joyeuse, radiated the golden light of Camel.
"Bang!"
Flashing forward, Yu swung his leg across the Great Disaster God, directly knocking him away.
"Damn it!! Your attacks are completely useless against me!!"
The Great Disaster God roared, urging his divine power to try to remove the stone salt transformation, but how could the transformation from Sodom's Eye be so easily removed?
Before the Great Disaster God could regain his ability to move, Yu charged forward again.
"You really stink."
Yu's words of disgust reached his ears, and then the Great Disaster God felt his body become light, and the solidification was removed.
"Boom!!"
But before the Great Disaster God could dodge, Yu's kicks rained down upon his body in continuous succession. With the final kick, Yu unleashed a powerful blow, directly launching the Great Disaster God into the sky.
"You're not immune to physical damage, is it because of a change in form?"
Looking at the Great Disaster God, who had been knocked away and was still out of control, Yu raised an eyebrow. Just now, during his sudden assault, the Great Disaster God had shown signs of pain, though brief, Yu had clearly noticed it.
But why didn't this guy use his ability to virtualize his body to avoid attacks earlier when he was pierced by the radiant swords?
Yu pondered, not actively chasing the attack. This guy was too strange; the Japanese mythology he knew had no concrete description of him.
Earlier, Yu had used the radiant swords to test him, concluding that this guy might be immune to physical attacks. But just now, his aggressive assault, with kicks that solidly struck this guy's body, had also inflicted damage.
Something was wrong, very wrong.
Carefully watching the Great Disaster God, who had barely managed to stabilize himself in the air, Yu did not approach, but instead waved his hand, summoning dark clouds and lightning.
"Boom boom!!"
Two roars from the sky echoed, and terrifying dark-purple lightning dragons twisted.
At this moment, lightning and strong winds, like blades, cut into the body of the Great Disaster God. However, the Great Disaster God, who had previously shown fear of lightning, now looked at the raging lightning above his head with anticipation in his eyes.
"Boom!!!"
After a deafening explosion, the purple lightning dragon twisting in the sky could no longer be restrained. It crashed down, striking the body of the Great Disaster God.
Glancing at Yu below, the Great Disaster God's eyes flickered, and he hastily raised the catastrophe blade, seemingly intending to use it to block the lightning. However, the Great Disaster God did not pour even a trace of divine power into the blade, so it could not form any protection.
"Sizzle~"
The lightning spread and climbed along the catastrophe blade, soon striking the body of the Great Disaster God.
As if it had found its target, the lightning suddenly became violent, madly driving into the body of the Great Disaster God.
"Ah!!"
Immediately, the Great Disaster God let out a loud cry, and his hand loosened, causing the catastrophe blade to fall and drop into the sea.
Looking at the overly dramatic Great Disaster God, Yu's expression was calm. It seemed he had realized what was wrong.
Indeed, the lightning from Gale Fury had no special properties, and its release speed was not even very fast. But he had released it three times: the first time against the Great Disaster God in his initial old-man form; the second time in the lightning pool; and the third time just now.
Except for the case of the lightning pool where he was caught off guard, in the other two instances, the Great Disaster God, as a Heretic God, definitely had the ability to evade, but he did not.
Combining that with the recent action of the Great Disaster God raising the catastrophe blade to resist the lightning, Yu speculated that lightning-like phenomena might be beneficial to him. It could help the Great Disaster God heal, or perhaps strengthen his power, or… change his form?
Yu was still not sure, but if he attacked the Great Disaster God with wind, he would have to take it seriously from now on.
"Ha!"
Exhaling another stream of poisonous gas, the Great Disaster God felt completely refreshed, and even the pain from Yu's previous kicks had greatly subsided.
"That guy's physical condition has recovered quite a bit."
Looking at the Great Disaster God, Yu raised an eyebrow. He had a rough idea of what kind of being the Great Disaster God was, but there was still one thing he could not figure out.
That was, as the God of Disaster, why could the Great Disaster God absorb lightning, which represents judgment and justice?
The Great Disaster God represents catastrophe, sin, destruction, and the end. In mythology, the appearance of a Magatsu-kami signified war and disaster. But how could a God of such nature absorb the lightning of judgment, which was completely opposite to his nature?
His brows furrowed. Before Yu could think further, the figure of the Great Disaster God suddenly flickered, appearing in front of Yu.
"Judge the sinners!"
The Great Disaster God laughed, roaring as he raised his fist. The crimson fist, wrapped in strands of lightning, slammed directly into Yu's body.
"Bang!!!"
As the fist fell, black lightning erupted, roaring, and the force of the blow intensified, directly blasting Yu away.
"Pfft!"
Black lightning raged within Yu's body, tormenting and churning the young man's flesh. Sweetness rose in his throat, and Yu suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, clearly showing that the Great Disaster God's blow had inflicted significant damage.
"This is… Wind?"
Feeling the force raging within him, Yu frowned.
He constantly had the feeling that he had overlooked something, but he simply could not remember what.
Bracing himself against the ground, Yu climbed out of the large crater, shaking his slightly dazed head. Yu's eyes shone emerald green as he looked at his lower abdomen, where two red, but differently deep, thin lines appeared in his vision.
Seeing those two thin lines, Yu cut them without hesitation. With a wave of dizziness, Yu staggered, almost falling to the ground again.
Fortunately, the effects of Cut Break were fast. Soon, Yu felt his body continuously recovering, though it would still take some time to fully heal.
"Campione, you are strong, but that is all."
At that moment, the Great Disaster God descended from the sky with extreme arrogance, waved his hand, and the catastrophe blade that had fallen into the sea broke through the surface and returned to his hand.
As he spoke, the Great Disaster God raised the catastrophe blade, and black lightning appeared again, flowing across the blade.
"Die."
He murmured calmly, and the Great Disaster God suddenly threw the catastrophe blade, aiming directly at the young man's life.
