Kaito slowly rose into the air, arms crossed, looking down at Verethragna.
At this moment, Verethragna was bound by countless Chains of Heaven. Even if he broke free momentarily, countless more chains were still on standby around him.
Thus, the entire sky was occupied by chains extending from the earth.
From Sephie and Erica's perspective, it was completely countless golden chains densely linked together, layer upon layer, like innumerable spider webs.
How could Verethragna possibly escape?
What surprised the two even more were the meteors in the sky.
Sephie didn't say much, as she firmly believed Kaito wouldn't accidentally hurt her. If he would, Kaito would take her away at this moment.
Moreover, countless golden chains below had formed layers of nets.
Perhaps when they came crashing down, these golden chains could also prevent the meteors from hitting the ground.
Erica thought so too at this moment, or rather, she had to think that way; otherwise, not only would she be finished, but the not-yet-fully-evacuated citizens could also shout GG.
In fact, Kaito was indeed doing this.
If he just let them crash, the entire island would experience a huge earthquake and also trigger a tsunami.
Although he was slaying gods, he wouldn't involve too many innocent people.
Moreover, doing this was only to better capture Verethragna, to make him withstand his [Planet Befall] head-on.
Now, the meteor was still falling at high speed.
Under Kaito's special adjustment, the meteor fell from ten thousand meters high, breaking through the clouds. Kaito didn't know if this strike could crush Verethragna to death; anyway, he cautiously used three shots of [Planet Befall].
And each meteor was larger than the last!
"Before that..."
Since Verethragna couldn't move and his Authorities were temporarily sealed, then...
It was time to plunder his golden sword.
If he got crushed to death later, he would have to rely on Gacha, and especially if he didn't draw the [Warrior] Authority, Kaito would really lose so badly he wouldn't even recognize his mother.
"Prometheus's Grimoire!"
Effect activated.
Golden ripples appeared before Verethragna. As the stone tablet floated at his forehead, under Kaito's activation, it directly selected his [Warrior] Authority.
This was good; being able to select was satisfying.
After plundering Verethragna's [Warrior] Authority, although it was in a sealed, unusable state, Verethragna could still feel being plundered.
"So that's how it is... Hahahaha!!!"
Verethragna understood everything now. He had nowhere to escape and could only accept the impact of [Planet Befall] head-on.
Bang—!!!!!
The first meteor struck.
Countless Chains of Heaven were pushed back severely, yet they steadily held back this huge meteor.
As for what state Verethragna was crushed into, Kaito didn't know.
As long as he hadn't seen Pandora yet, it meant Verethragna wasn't dead.
"So this is the golden sword."
Grabbing the stone tablet, after transferring the [Warrior] Authority into his body for temporary use, there was no need to chant divine words; he directly pulled out a weakened version of the golden sword.
This sword was one word: flashy.
The golden sword wasn't limited to a fixed weapon form.
You could change it at will, into a greatsword, a longsword, a spear, etc.
Now Kaito could use this sword to finish off Verethragna, but...
Bang—!!!!!!
The second, even larger meteor had already fallen. After hitting the first meteor, the Chains of Heaven sank another several hundred meters!
At this moment, Kaito was wildly consuming his magical energy to keep the chains holding.
As for the meteor, upon receiving the impact, it began to shatter.
Although the shockwave was huge enough, and Kaito couldn't control it, it was fine as long as the shockwave occurred at nearly a kilometer in altitude.
As for the shattered meteor fragments, they would be caught by the surrounding chains.
"Hmm?"
'Is he dead...'
Verethragna, held by the chains, suddenly vanished without uttering a single last word. Verethragna was gone like that.
Quickly, he dispersed the third, even larger meteor in the sky, also dispersing the already shattered meteor, turning them into elemental energy vanishing in the air, and the Chains of Heaven began to disappear.
"It's over."
Having done this, the corners of Kaito's mouth couldn't help but curl up in excitement.
This counted as his first time slaying a god; this irrepressible excitement was truly hard to describe.
"Yes, it's over, my child"
The next instant, Kaito's consciousness heard a little girl's voice.
By the time he reacted, he saw before him a pseudo-loli girl with long purple twintails, wearing a thin white dress.
Unfortunately, he didn't wake up on her lap.
It seemed the protagonist was the protagonist, and after all, he was still an outsider.
"Oh? You want to be my mother?"
Kaito smiled and asked back, walking up to Pandora, only feeling she was really, really short.
Pretty, yes, but what Kaito could sense was her danger and wariness.
"Hehehe, every Campione is my child. Thank you for sending those disobedient ones back home"
Pandora giggled, but at the same time, imperceptibly stepped back half a step.
For some reason, she felt Kaito was very dangerous.
This danger wasn't about strength, but a strange feeling that was just dangerous, as if she was being targeted.
'Not right, not right, why did I have this feeling?'
'So strange.'
Feel again...
Stare—
'Indeed!!!'
'This guy actually had other thoughts about me, the 'mother'!!!'
"Ahem!! Since you successfully slew Verethragna, I should naturally give you a reward. But you've already taken part of it in advance, so you won't get to draw from Verethragna's Authorities"
"However, you'll still receive the magical power belonging to his descent and manifestation in this world"
Not drawing Authorities, Kaito was already mentally prepared for this, but disappointment was still disappointment, as he also coveted Verethragna's other Authorities.
For example, [Raptor].
This Authority was very useful.
When used, however fast the opponent was, he would be faster.
And this could just be used to deal with his sister-in-law Beelzebul, the famous Ei, you know.
He was dating her sister; would the younger sister obediently call him brother-in-law?
Not possible. She'd probably give him a slash, and that would be her being generous.
Well, who needs the little sister-in-law's approval anyway!
Wouldn't it be fine to just bring her to the same side as Baal?!
