"Prometheus, at this moment, your divinity is completely exposed!"
"This sword will destroy your divinity!"
Yu's loud shout echoed across heaven and earth, while countless Incantations merged together and formed a gigantic Holy sword Joyeuse the size of a surfboard.
The great sword possessed a strange curvature; rather than a sword, it looked more like an excessively curved saber!
The curvature of this Holy sword Joyeuse formed from Incantations was like a ring, and its tip pointed directly toward Yu's hand.
This was the Holy sword Joyeuse constructed from Incantations specifically for Prometheus. This sword might not have been particularly powerful, and against some Heretic Gods it might not even be able to inflict the slightest damage, but this sword was enough to kill the Inobedient God Prometheus!
"So that's how it is? Directly severing my divinity, huh…"
"Campione, your wisdom and profound knowledge truly amaze me. Then, kill me!"
"I will grant you the most perfect blessing and the most vicious curse! Take my Authority! It will satisfy you!"
Looking at the Holy sword Joyeuse in Yu's hand, which was clearly aimed at him, Prometheus shook his head and laughed softly. After that, he suddenly dispersed the Holy sword Joyeuse piercing through his entire body. His colossal hundred-meter-tall figure stood there, radiating the majesty of a Titan God.
Prometheus had to admit that he was now looking forward to Yu more and more!
He looked forward to Yu killing him, looked forward to Yu taking his Authority, and then defying fate!
Prometheus looked forward to Yu being capable of… killing that one!
Although Prometheus still did not believe that Prophecy could be broken, but what if?
Prometheus's heart trembled, no longer possessing the absolute certainty it once had!
"As you wish!"
Yu looked down upon the Titan God. Prometheus was a god who ruled over Prophecy. No one understood the helplessness of being unable to change fate more deeply than Prometheus.
However… Yu did not believe in such nonsense as predetermined and unchangeable fate. Compared to fate, Yu trusted himself more, and believed in his own power to change fate!
Spreading his arms, Prometheus said nothing more, merely quietly waiting for Yu's sword to fall and kill him.
Understanding Prometheus's thoughts, Yu tightly gripped the sword with both hands and violently swung it toward Prometheus.
In an instant, golden light filled the sky, and the power of the Incantations began to run wild. They were words, they were faith, continuously tearing apart Prometheus's divinity.
This attack inflicted immense pain upon Prometheus, yet Prometheus did not resist. He merely forcibly maintained a smile amidst the golden light, looking at Yu, while his lips moved as if saying something, but Yu could not hear it clearly, or perhaps Prometheus had not made any sound at all.
"Buzz!!!"
A piercing sword cry echoed out, and everything in the world, whether the earth, sky, or ocean, lost its color beneath the dazzling brilliance of Holy sword Joyeuse.
Even Yu narrowed his eyes beneath the light of his own sword.
A few seconds later, the golden light covering heaven and earth dispersed, the fierce wind stopped, and moonlight poured across the turbulent sea, making the moonlight seem somewhat impatient.
"Campione, you are very strong~"
Looking at Yu, a young man in a long robe and silver-framed glasses, who at first glance appeared refined and gentle, appeared before Yu. His light brown eyes looked at the young man as he praised him.
"You're not bad either, Prometheus."
Faced with the young man's presence, Yu immediately spoke, revealing the other party's identity.
That's right, this young man was Prometheus, the same Prometheus who earlier had been huge and full of beard.
The young man before him was merely one of Prometheus's incarnations, the "Wise Man" who resided within the Immortal Realm.
"I never thought that one day I would be killed by my own nephew, but I should have 'foreseen' this day from the moment that Epimetheus developed the reincarnation ritual. I simply never bothered to peer into the future."
Prometheus glanced at Yu, then turned his head toward the full moon high in the night sky and spoke.
Actually, Prometheus had never imagined that one day he would be summoned into the present world as a Heretic God and then be killed, but thinking about it carefully, it was normal. This really was the kind of thing his seemingly foolish brother Epimetheus would do.
To be honest, Prometheus did not consider his brother, who was jokingly called "Fool," to truly be foolish. On the contrary, Prometheus knew that his brother was not a "Fool" in the true sense of the word.
He, Prometheus, as the "Wise Man," possessed "foresight," while his brother possessed "after-wisdom," which was not inferior to his own.
But in some aspects, his brother truly was somewhat simple-minded.
"What does my future look like?"
Yu thought for a moment. Watching Prometheus's figure become increasingly ethereal, curiosity still compelled him to ask his question.
This question concerned his fate. How could Yu say he was not curious? Who would not want to experience the feeling of being a prophet?
"Hmm… the one you will face is indeed very powerful, but for you, it is not impossible to defy fate."
Hearing that, Prometheus's body paused. He turned toward Yu, his handsome European face smiling, while his eyes were deep as he looked at Yu and spoke.
"Don't give me vague things like that. Tell me, which god will kill me?"
Yu frowned slightly and directly asked openly.
"Well… honestly, even I no longer know. That one has many divine names. If I had to say how humans most commonly call that god…"
Seeing Yu's impatience, Prometheus laughed softly while stroking his beard. As for that god, even he did not know much, only that it was the origin of everything and at the same time the end of everything.
Among humans, that one possessed many divine names. Prometheus spoke, and after recalling the divine name of the god the young man would eventually face, just as he was about to speak, his figure suddenly shattered apart, transforming into specks of starlight and scattering away.
Watching this scene, the corners of Yu's mouth twitched. Seriously, do these so-called "wise men" and "prophets" love adding so much drama?
For something like this, just say a keyword and he could search for it online himself! If that failed, he could go to the library like before! But… they truly do not reveal any useful information!
Thinking of that, Yu felt as though a thousand alpacas were charging through his heart.
However, Yu quickly realized that Prometheus's state earlier had definitely allowed him to finish speaking. Although Prometheus's figure was dispersing, the speed had not been fast.
Prometheus's situation earlier had been as though he suddenly shattered, like a mirror someone had broken.
"Some god is preventing Prometheus from saying that name."
Murmuring to himself, Yu raised his head toward the night sky, and suddenly the gaze within the crack that he had seen after killing the Mist Whale that day came to mind.
Could it be Him?
Yu did not know; at present he could not grasp the answer.
Pandora was calling him. Yu could feel his mind becoming hazy, and his consciousness was no longer clear.
"Thud!"
With a dull sound, Yu could no longer resist the dizziness. He fell headfirst and remained lying on the ground.
After the young man lost consciousness, Prometheus's figure condensed once more. Looking at the unconscious Yu, Prometheus rubbed his forehead, wiping away cold sweat that did not actually exist.
"Seriously, why does he want to know so much, just like that Zeus?"
Casting a glance at Yu lying on the ground, Prometheus spoke with a helpless expression.
He had deliberately dispersed earlier, after all, Yu's question earlier was the same as when Zeus asked which son would overthrow his rule.
Would Prometheus dare say it at such a time? Of course not. He knew that fate was unchangeable. If he had told Zeus back then who would overthrow his rule, even if Zeus killed Heracles at that moment, Heracles would definitely return to life through all sorts of unimaginable methods.
Perhaps time would be reversed by the God of Time, or perhaps Zeus would kill the wrong person, or perhaps Heracles would awaken his divine power and instantly kill Zeus.
Anything was possible, but the outcome would not change no matter what.
If he had spoken back then, Heracles would hate him, and he would not survive. It was better to hide it and allow that demigod hero to overthrow his tyrannical father.
Yu's situation was the same. If he spoke now, that god would definitely torment him later. If he did not speak, Yu's fate still possessed a trace of unknown possibility.
Although very weak, Prometheus hoped that the young man would be able to grasp that trace of possibility.
"Then, until next time, my dear nephew."
Looking at Yu, Prometheus's words fell, and his figure dispersed into starlight, but this time, it was true dispersal.
"Clatter."
Suddenly, a palm-sized stone nail resembling a diamond fell beside Yu. The stone nail flickered with a faint glow, then returned to its original appearance.
"Hey! Wake up! Hey! You, wake up!"
Within the Immortal Realm, Yu vaguely heard Pandora's voice.
The moment he opened his eyes, Yu saw Pandora's fist, as large as a sandbag, coming toward him.
Seeing that, Yu's eyes narrowed, and he quickly raised his hand to catch Pandora's fist aimed at him.
"Huh? What happened? Why are you so hostile toward me today?"
Looking at Pandora, whose face was red and whose eyes were teary, Yu was completely confused.
Why was Pandora acting like this today? Could it be because he killed Prometheus today?
That did not seem right either! Prometheus had not truly died; he had merely returned to mythology. Moreover, family bonds were weak in Ancient Greek Mythology, so would Pandora really care that much about her "brothers"?
"You're still asking me what happened, and you still have the nerve to say that! Did you think you could just take my things and leave? I don't know how you managed to see me, but… Step"
Pandora clenched her fists, her shoulders trembling as she spoke through gritted teeth.
However, after Pandora's words fell, Yu still looked completely confused.
"What are you talking about?"
