Chapter 249: A Meteor Starter, As a Sign of Respect
Ishtar flew away, practically fleeing in disarray. An intense sense of shame filled her heart, making every second she stayed here a form of torture. To lose something as big as the Bull of Heaven... who wouldn’t laugh at that? Just you wait! I’ll definitely find it!
"A goddess, huh? You learn something new every day," Gudako said, summing up the experience.
"Actually, compared to the face-art goddess from Seiya’s world and the water goddess from that other world, this Ishtar was relatively normal," Kenji said.
If wisdom had a color, it would definitely be blue.
[Gudako]: "@Cautious Hero Seiya, be honest. Now that you know Ristarte is your wife from your past life, has your impression of her changed at all?"
Gudako decided to ask the man himself.
[Cautious Hero]: "..."
Can I choose not to answer this question?
Now that he knew Ristarte was Tiana, he found it even harder to look at her straight. In his past life, she wasn’t so full of exaggerated expressions. The cautious him even suspected that he must have angered her in his past life, and now she had reincarnated to torture him with her face-art.
[Stank]: "The so-called majesty and divinity of some gods... it’s all just rumors. For example, the gods here."
During the Battle of New York, he had personally seen Loki get smashed around like a ragdoll by the Hulk, and was even mocked afterward for being a "weak god."
[Galactic Baseballer]: "Yeah, there aren’t many proper Aeons on our side either."
The only relatively proper one seemed to be Qlipoth, who was focused on mixing cement and building walls. IX was a lie-flat monster, Aha looked for fun, Akivili was the strongest Emanator of Elation, Lan shot rockets everywhere, Nanook liked to pick up second-hand things...
[The Champion]: "Mhm... Groudon can’t fly."
As a Legendary Pokémon, yet unable to fly... that was a bit hard to justify.
[Star Forger]: "Don’t say that. What if Groudon accidentally hears you? His feelings would be hurt."
Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza were the super-ancient Pokémon of legend, but only Groudon couldn’t fly.
Looking across all the heavens and myriad worlds, absolutely proper gods were extremely rare. Many were very proper on the surface, but had a completely different face in private.
CLANG!
A chain appeared out of thin air, piercing through the air, its sharp tip glinting with a cold light. Kenji yawned and caught it between two fingers.
"A petty parlor trick. How dare you show off in front of an expert? Taste my Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon!"
ROAR!
Kenji raised his hand and gave a light pat. The stars formed into a dragon, and its roar shook the heavens and the earth. It aimed for an androgynous, green-haired figure and charged forward. The plain was plowed into a deep trench, as if a chunk of the world had been gouged out.
Danger!
An incomparably thick aura of death washed over him. The alarm bells in Kingu’s heart went off. He instantly shot into the air, retreating out of the attack’s range.
Why? He had felt Divinity, so why did the Chains of Heaven have no effect at all?
Of the three of them, Kingu had sensed that Kenji was the greatest threat, so he had launched a surprise attack on him first.
"Very curious, aren’t you? About why the Chains of Heaven are useless on me?" Kenji asked, looking up, his eyes filled with amusement.
Divinity was not a necessity for him; it was just a stat on his current Servant sheet. He wasn’t a god of faith, but a god of creation. The Chains of Heaven could bind divine power, but he was too far beyond the specifications. Besides, for a weapon from the Type-Moon world to try and bind a powerhouse from another world... it had the same vibe as a Ming Dynasty sword trying to execute a Qing Dynasty official.
"The Chains of Heaven... Masaka! Could that be Enkidu?" Romani said in shock from Chaldea. In that era, the divine weapon known as the Chains of Heaven was very recognizable. Although surprised, they were also very confused. Why was the Chains of Heaven attacking Kenji and the others?
"It seems the other party is an enemy," Da Vinci said directly. Compared to the unknown wielder of the Chains of Heaven, they were naturally more concerned about Gudako and the others.
CLANG!
After confirming he was an enemy, Mash held up King Arthur’s dinner table, stood in front of Gudako, and looked at Kingu with caution.
"I’d like to ask... are you a man, a woman? Or neutral?"
Kenji looked up and down at Kingu’s slender body. In the epic, Enkidu should be male, but in the 2D world, there were many developmental paths. If he was a female, then he was even flatter than a certain Tablet of Shenzhou.
Fu Hua: ?
"You’re courting death!"
Killing intent overflowed from Kingu’s eyes. In his view, this was a humiliation, a naked provocation. He already had a path to seek death.
"It’s going to rain. Your mother Tiamat is calling you to bring in the laundry."
A tiny universe was slowly rotating in Kenji’s palm, seeming to resonate with the stars in the sky. A mysterious, ancient power permeated the space between heaven and earth. This was the Noble Phantasm he possessed under his Servant identity—Stars: Regalia of the Star Forger.
This magnificent Noble Phantasm was like a projection of the cosmos, containing the mysteries of the starry sky. Just by looking at it, an ordinary person would feel their mind thrown into chaos, their head spinning.
"Putting on a show... hmm?"
Just as Kingu finished speaking, a shadow fell over his body. An intense sense of pressure washed over him, and the surrounding air seemed to thicken.
"!"
Looking up, Kingu’s eyes widened, and his expression changed drastically. Was this a meteor... rain?
Don’t you have a wind-up for your ultimate move?
Sorry, the Tartaglia who had a wind-up for his ultimate was put to sleep by the Hydro Dragon King, Neuvillette. Nowadays, all ultimates are zero-frame startups. Zero-frame startup, as a sign of respect.
RUMBLE—
Like dumplings being dropped into a pot, over a dozen meteors crashed down towards Kingu, like a continuous detonation of nuclear warheads. The land for a hundred kilometers around trembled, and a soaring cloud of dust and smoke blotted out the sun.
"My, my, what a spectacular sight. It’s not good to destroy the flowers and grass, you know~"
A certain white-haired internet scammer squinted his eyes, looking at the center of the tremor, and let out an exaggerated gasp of surprise.
"Whoa... the aura of my King. It’s 90% not right."
Sensing something interesting, his eyes lit up with the light of gossip. It was the taste of fun.
"Ana, hurry up! Let’s go and meet that person who is suspected of being my King’s husband..."
The white-haired internet scammer took off in a marathon run, leaving Ana behind. In the blink of an eye, he was almost out of sight.
"Hey..."
"Gulp..."
Mash looked at the devastated ground before her and swallowed hard. What kind of normal Servant just uses a meteor rain to wash the floor?
"Awesome! As expected of my Servant! Such mesmerizingly beautiful stats!" Gudako felt she could just lie flat now. If she just stuck with Kenji, the Seventh Singularity would be an easy clear. What a wonderful way to start.
"Is he a gopher?"
Kenji walked forward, only to find a hole in the ground that led deep into the earth. Kingu was fast at digging. This was just a greeting. You were the one who attacked first.
Although he had escaped, the bump that had swelled up on his head would not dissipate so easily.
Kingu: ******** (The most ancient of profanities)
