CHAPTER 306: [306] THE HORN’S RESONANCE, NAMELESS DEFEATS THE ALMIGHTY GOD ZEUS [2]

On the Fuyuki Bridge.

Gilgamesh, standing atop a streetlamp, wore a slightly complicated expression.

In the end, this bastard of a best friend still chose to accept the gods’ aid.

Even though he was right here.

If only he’d asked, Gilgamesh could have become a Grand Caster, sacrificing his Grand Saint Graph to unleash a world-shaking strike.

The Sword of Rupture alone wasn’t enough to slay the Almighty God head-on.

Now, his friend needed to fuse the Twelve Olympians’ blessings into Ea, granting it the special ability to slay gods.

Only then could he cut down this terrifying Almighty God with a single stroke.

So hurry up and beg me!

If only he’d plead, Gilgamesh would deploy the [Gate of Babylon] to buy him time!

Meanwhile.

Qin Shi Huang also descended beside him.

Having fully unleashed his strongest Noble Phantasm, [Qin Shi Huang], he shielded the entire land of China.

This allowed Nameless to fight with all his might, unrestrained.

Naturally, Qin Shi Huang had watched the video Olympian Gods and knew they needed to buy some time.

Thus, he deliberately summoned his mechanical holy vessel, the Epang Palace, intending to block the enemy head-on with its divine frame!

Qin Shi Huang chuckled lightly. "King of Heroes, who do you think our master will ask for help first?"

As the eternal First Emperor of China, this was his domain.

His land, his rules.

There was no need for so many heroic spirits to intervene—he alone could withstand the so-called Omnipotent God!

"...Hmph, as if this king would care!" Gilgamesh snorted.

Had he not lent Nameless the Ea, would they have so easily defeated the [Poseidon] and the other three machine gods?

"Oh? If you don’t care, then why did you lend him Ea?" Qin Shi Huang replied calmly, eyeing him.

This guy had been lingering in Fuyuki City all this time for their master’s sake, yet still claimed he didn’t care.

What a lie!

Gilgamesh answered indifferently, "This king simply despises gods the most."

Among all heroic spirits, he was arguably the one who loathed deities the most.

If it was a battle against gods, how could he refuse?

At that moment.

Another heroic spirit arrived—King Arthur, clad in knightly armor.

Behind her trailed the rebellious knight Mordred, and further back, the Sun Knight Gawain.

Facing the Almighty God was a near-suicidal endeavor.

Yet these heroic spirits had come without hesitation to lend their strength!

Mordred glanced at the two top-tier heroic spirits, the King of Heroes and Qin Shi Huang, and grinned boldly. "Hey, let’s fight together! The three of us are unstoppable!"

"Mo... Mordred..."

Gawain hesitated.

Sure, the three of them working together would be nigh invincible.

But what did that have to do with you?

Why not say, "Combined, the wealth of the King of Heroes, Qin Shi Huang, and me could crush most nations"?

But this was even better.

With the King of Heroes, King Arthur, Qin Shi Huang, and other top-tier heroic spirits holding the line, he could just sit back and enjoy the show.

No need to risk his life!

As the heroic spirits strategized.

High above, the Almighty God Zeus sneered. "Nameless, do you think I’ll give you that time?"

Now that his invincible defense had been pierced by the Divine Ancestor Romulus, he faced the risk of death.

If Nameless forged another God-Slaying Authority, he might truly perish.

But he wouldn’t grant them that opportunity!

Zzzzt! Zzzzt! Zzzzt!

The space around the Almighty God transformed into a sea of lightning, crackling with violet arcs.

An endless torrent of thunder would rain down, sparing no cost to annihilate Nameless!

"Oh? You think I’m still the same as before?" Nameless taunted, his voice dripping with scorn.

Did this fool really believe he hadn’t grown stronger since then?

Back in the Olympian Gods singularity, he had indeed needed others to buy time.

But after defeating the Beast of Humanity, Tamamo-no-Mae, who wielded the Authority of the Weapon God, his forging abilities had ascended to new heights.

A colossal furnace materialized behind Nameless.

BANG!

With a single hammer strike, the blessings of the Twelve Olympian Gods instantly crystallized into twelve materials, fusing together in an instant.

The dazzling blessing of the Sun God, the surging blessing of the Sea God, the unerring blessing of the Moon Goddess...

The blessings of the twelve Olympian gods were instantly consolidated by him, transforming into an omnipotent power on par with the Almighty God Zeus!

"Fusion! Synchronization! Enhancement!"

Twelve deities, twelve divine authorities, all merged into the Sword of Rupture.

Bestowing upon it a formidable new ability—

[Deicide: EX Rank, possesses special anti-divine properties, forged solely to slay the Almighty God Zeus!]

Counter beats all, special attacks defy the heavens—granting Nameless the true qualification to execute his foe!

Zeus’s mentality instantly shattered: "What? This is impossible!"

To devour the gods, he had schemed relentlessly, even making himself a pawn in the grand design.

Only by waging war against China, using Qin Shi Huang and Nameless to eliminate the gods, had he managed to forcibly assimilate their divine authorities one by one.

But now.

His opponent had effortlessly obtained the blessings of the gods and just as effortlessly refined them into omnipotent power!

On the Sword of Rupture, now imbued with this new anti-divine ability, Zeus sensed death with terrifying clarity.

A death that made his very essence tremble, his origin shudder in primal fear!

This sword could truly annihilate him completely!

Roaring in fury, he bellowed, "Die! I will obliterate you utterly, you damned mortal!"

He fully transformed into a cosmic battleship.

Countless cannons, each representing a divine authority, locked onto his target.

Twelve deities, twelve main cannons—unleashing his most devastating attack.

This assault burned his own origin as fuel, seeking to erase his foe from existence itself, beyond any hope of resurrection!

Yet.

Facing the Almighty God’s all-out, sacrificial assault...

Nameless suddenly turned his gaze toward the gathering of heroic spirits in distant China and called out, "Chen Gong, lend me your strength!"

The audience was stunned—

-[What the hell? Why call upon that bastard strategist Chen Gong?!]

-[Why him? Asking for his help means sacrificing yourself!]

-[Hey, hey, hey—Nameless, stop! You’ve got a whole squad of powerful heroic spirits right beside you willing to fight for you!]

...

???

On the Fuyuki Bridge, the gathered heroic spirits were utterly bewildered.

Mordred couldn’t hold back her shock: "This guy... is he planning to sacrifice himself?!"

That was Chen Gong they were talking about!

The bastard who loved turning heroic spirits into fireworks more than anything!

Other strategists calculated heaven, earth, and all living beings to carve out a sliver of hope for survival.

But this bastard’s first move was always to sacrifice you, taking the enemy down with you in mutual destruction!

"Why not call on me?" Artoria blurted out reflexively.

She was right there.

She would’ve fought alongside him without being asked—so why choose self-sacrifice?

Qin Shi Huang’s gaze sharpened: "Master, why must you bear everything alone? Can you not rely on Zheng just this once?"

He had intended to annihilate the gods of the West himself, never expecting it would force Nameless to confront a being rivaling the Evils of Humanity.

Must he fight alone yet again?

From afar, Chen Gong’s eyes lit up the moment he heard the call: "I’m coming!!!"

This was the summons he had dreamed of.

He could scarcely believe it was real, as if caught in a surreal fantasy.

But it didn’t matter.

Since you’re willing, then I, Chen Gong, will fulfill your wish to become a great hero!

Without hesitation, Chen Gong unleashed his strongest Noble Phantasm: "Nameless, let your own brilliance shine forth."

[First of the Horns!]

Hum~

With his full power unleashed, he suddenly drew upon the vast energy within Nameless, bringing it all to its utmost limit.

In that instant.

Nameless felt stronger than ever before.

Power surged endlessly through his body, transforming into a might that surpassed all limits.

Transcending human boundaries, he reached the domain of the gods!

At last, he regained a fraction of his peak combat prowess!

Nameless felt his heart race for the first time in ages, his blood burning with frenzy.

True boiling passion.

Of course, don’t misunderstand—after painstakingly saving humanity, he had become an ordinary high school student, enjoying a peaceful life.

He wouldn’t casually sacrifice himself.

Don’t forget.

By his side was the strongest, most invincible healer—

Tiamat!

If not for fear of breaking the world and harming countless innocents, this healer alone could annihilate everything.

Tiamat spoke softly: "Aaaaa (With me here, fight to your heart’s content.)"

Hum~

An overwhelming surge of life force, surpassing even the gods, flooded into Nameless’s body, restoring his limit-breaking, near-collapsing form in an instant.

This was the authority of the Primordial Mother Goddess—

[Sea of Life!]

Tiamat was the ocean that birthed life itself.

By cycling the energy of Earth’s genesis, this sea possessed infinite magical power.

It could greatly enhance a target’s strength, freely reshape them, and even create new life.

To the extent of forging gods!

Under this terror that surpassed even the gods,

Nameless’s vision of the world turned entirely into shades of black and white.

It was the power to see through the life and death of all things—

[Mystic Eyes of Death Perception!]

He swung Ea, the sword he had imbued with the special trait of god-slaying, and looked up at Zeus. "The ultimate strike I seek is one that severs karma! Severs fate! Severs destiny!"

Hum~ Hum~ Hum~

Ea spun violently, its world-rending crimson light suddenly shifting to an ashen gray.

The surrounding space groaned under the strain, creaking as if on the verge of collapse.

The Almighty God Zeus burned his origin recklessly, unleashing his full power. "Die! I am the true ruler of this world!"

His opponent represented humanity’s hope.

Once Nameless was dead, Zeus would become the true God of this planet, enslaving all of mankind!

The twelve main cannons, each embodying the authority of a god, erupted with dazzling beams of light.

Flames, thunder, storms—countless divine authorities converged into a single point, crashing down upon his foe.

This overwhelming force was enough to shatter the earth and obliterate entire cities.

Yet—

Faced with such a terrifying assault, Nameless merely swung Ea lightly. The ashen-gray beam collided with Zeus’s attack.

There was no explosion.

Only silent annihilation.

Indeed, the combined might of the twelve divine authorities was nullified by the blessings of the twelve Olympians that Nameless had gathered.

The gray-white sword light soared ninety thousand miles, effortlessly obliterating the attack fueled by Zeus’s burning origin.

And then, it continued straight toward the god himself.

"No! I will become the true God, the master of human history! How can I lose to you?!" the Almighty God Zeus roared in fury.

But it was futile.

Under the slash of the gray-white sword light,

the divine barriers protecting his battleship shattered like glass.

They could not hold back the strike for even an instant.

This blade cut straight toward his divine core!

Crack—

The core of the Almighty God, forged from the combined power of twelve deities, was utterly destroyed by this single strike.

The sword light did not stop.

The battleship, hundreds of meters long, was cleaved in half!

Nameless gazed at his fallen foe calmly. "If it has life, even a god can be killed. You’ve lost, Almighty God Zeus."
