CHAPTER 451: CHAPTER 451: I AM A DEVOUT CHRISTIAN

Watching Gabriel’s figure disappear into the distance, Zhu Haomiao stroked his chin, pondering how to find Cain in the vast sea of people.

Suddenly, a piercing gaze came from beside him. Turning his head, he found Amaterasu staring at him with a dangerously watchful look.

"What are you looking at? I’m now the righteous partner handpicked by the Blazing Angel!"

"The things you Mao God dare not kill, I’ll kill. The matters you Mao God dare not handle, I’ll handle. In short, anything you can manage, I’ll manage. Anything you can’t handle, I’ll manage even more. Act first, report later, specially permitted by God!"

"This is West... uh... East University!"

"???!"

Amaterasu dazedly watched the black-clad youth’s inexplicably fierce demeanor, instinctively glancing in the direction Gabriel left, annoyed but amused.

Fine, fine, fine!

Yesterday you were drooling over me, calling me Amaterasu, and today I’m a Mao God!

Is the arrival of a new dish rendering me less appealing?

For the first time in her life, Amaterasu experienced the feeling of a jealous, jilted lover, giving Zhu Haomiao a fierce glance before turning to leave.

Meanwhile, Abe Waka approached the black-clad youth, hesitating to speak but ultimately letting out a sigh.

"Just now, was that the Angel King from the Bible, who sounds the Doomsday Horn to judge all beings?"

"Exactly!"

"And your relationship with the Church Court... exactly..."

"Actually, to be honest, I’ve always been a devout Christian."

Saying this, Zhu Haomiao made the sign of the cross on his chest, pondering solemnly.

"Amen."

"..."

In the subsequent days, Zhu Haomiao alternated between digesting the nutrition gifted by Amon and searching for traces of Cain.

Yet, as the Demon God who governs darkness, Cain seemed to possess an equally strong concealment ability like Amon, leaving no trace regardless of the search.

However, on a certain deep night, while wandering outside, Zhu Haomiao saw violent thunder erupting over the outer sea.

Rumble~

Dazzling thunder snakes rolled and exploded in the distant clouds, and after an unknown span, a huge sound came from the horizon, stifling the chest.

Feeling the fierce and brutal Divine Power, Zhu Haomiao rubbed his chin with interest.

Unfamiliar Divine Power, but definitely not Cain...

Should I go take a look?

With just a moment’s hesitation, Zhu Haomiao lightly tapped his toe and skimmed across the waves, like a weightless phantom swiftly moving over the sea.

As the distance closed, the waves on the sea became more turbulent. From afar, Zhu Haomiao vaguely saw two small dark figures clashing within the thunder, each encounter raising enormous tsunamis over ten meters high.

It felt like two massive water dragons were tumbling and churning in the sea, the vast ocean area rippling incessantly, with shockwaves crashing layer upon layer against him, forcing Zhu Haomiao to gradually slow down.

Getting closer... would alert them, so it’d be best to watch from the periphery...

With a sense of realization, Zhu Haomiao halted his steps, maintaining a safe distance to observe carefully.

The combatants were a muscular blond man with handsome sideburns, his muscular build exuding masculine vigor, majestic strength, and sinuously elegant like a perfect marble sculpture.

On the other side stood an enchanting lady with a spear, with a voluptuous figure and long legs. Her features possessed both the defined structure of Westerners and the delicacy of Easterners, carrying a strong exotic charm.

"Roar!"

The spear pierced hole after bloody hole in him, yet the blond-man seemed unfazed by pain, growing more excited as he fought, with ghostly blue lightning flashing from his eyes.

With a roar, the blond-man reached skyward, and the rolling thunder in the clouds suddenly struck down, condensing into a hammer-shaped weapon purely of lightning in his grasp.

Boom!

The giant thunder hammer descended, vision quickly obscured by pure, blinding light. Soon, a violent shockwave like a wall slammed into Zhu Haomiao, pushing him back a dozen meters.

As his sight returned, Zhu Haomiao found the two combatants had separated and distanced themselves apart.

Beside him, two familiar figures had appeared.

"Tsk, could you guys tone it down a bit? This killed the fun."

Hearing the black-clad youth’s complaint, Amaterasu looked at him expressionlessly, "They’re too close to the coastline. If they keep fighting, the waves will overtop the breakwater!"

Beside her, the blond-haired, gold-eyed Gabriel nodded lightly.

"A God’s war should strive to avoid widespread impact on mortals..."

Saying so, Gabriel gazed at the heavily panting, slightly trembling blond-man, narrowing his brow seriously.

"Moreover, if this battle further triggers the War God’s slaughtering nature, things could spiral out of control."

Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao gulped hungrily, eyeing the blond-man’s rippling muscles with greed.

"What’s there to fear? Four of us against one, it’s the perfect chance to eat... uh... eliminate a strong opponent~"

The two young women looked at Zhu Haomiao simultaneously, their eyes filled with indescribable emotions.

Outnumbering to win is not honorable!

Didn’t expect you to be this kind of [Dragon’s Son]!

Belonging to different Divines, Amaterasu and Gabriel exchanged awkward glances, unable to suppress their pride, silently averting their gaze.

Sensing the young women’s emotions, Zhu Haomiao sighed regretfully, helplessly shifting the topic.

"Who are those two? Do you know them?"

"Yes, that’s Thor from Asgard, and Athena from Olympus."

"Athena?!"

Upon seeing the distinctive thunder hammer, Zhu Haomiao had a vague guess about the blond-man’s identity, but didn’t expect the exotic, long-legged lady to be the legendary Virgin Goddess!

"Why are they fighting?"

"Influenced by the War Divine Office, Thor is hot-tempered and battle-crazy, while Athena possesses the Divine Authority of [Victory], leading to overlapping authorities and inevitable conflict when they meet."

Hearing Gabriel’s explanation, a flash of insight crossed Zhu Haomiao’s mind, he instinctively glanced at Amaterasu.

The prior clash between her and Amon must also be due to competition over Divine Authority...

There cannot be two Suns in the same sky; when Sun Gods from different worlds meet, they must determine superiority...

With a vaguely understanding nod, Zhu Haomiao withdrew his gaze, looking at the gradually calming sea, finding the two combatants now both looking towards the three of them.

Just because they sensed their "powerful audience," were they forced to halt their fight.

After cautiously sizing each other up, they performed an ancient mysterious ritual separately and coldly, one transforming into thunder, the other into golden light, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
