A certain crossover anime's nuclear-powered sword immortal

Liliana looked at Erica in disbelief, feeling incredibly ashamed of what Erica had just said.

However, Erica, having found Liliana's weakness, did not stop at all, but instead relentlessly attacked.

"Oh my~ You get so shy after just a little bit of that~ You're not like this in your own novels, you know. You clearly crave the 'King's' favor so much, wouldn't it be better to just say it out loud?"

"Ugh... Erica!!!"

Chapter Twenty: The Earth Trembles

Liliana secretly writes very embarrassing romance novels, but she has never told anyone about it, and logically no one should know.

But from some point onwards, Erica began to find out about this, and every time Liliana secretly wrote something, Erica would find out about it shortly afterward and then use it to tease her.

Liliana had never understood how Erica knew the contents of her novel, even though she always hid the manuscript in a corner of the room, in a very good place.

For a long time, Liliana believed that Erica had developed some kind of magic that allowed her to know the contents of the novels she wrote.

However, what Liliana didn't know was that the reason her novel's contents were leaked without her telling anyone was entirely because there was a traitor on her side!

As an apprentice witch of the Bronze Black Cross, the maid Karen Jankolovsky possessed exceptional talent and was therefore assigned to train alongside the Grand Knight Liliana as a formal witch.

Even so, although the cunning Kallen is exceptionally capable and usually manages Liliana's affairs meticulously, their relationship is not like that of master and servant. Instead, Kallen is someone who will make fun of her master at appropriate times, and the straightforward Liliana is no match for the cunning Kallen.

Erica maintained a cooperative relationship with the maid Kallen, who would often secretly show Erica the manuscripts of Liliana's novels, allowing Erica to maintain an advantage over Liliana.

While the two girls were bickering, Shirou watched them with interest. When he saw Liliana's eyes redden from Erica's relentless attacks, Shirou was about to speak up and tell them to stop.

Suddenly, Shirou sensed something and frowned.

"This is……"

If you concentrate your attention slightly, you can hear a sound coming from below.

The ground is shaking.

If you listen carefully, you'll find that the interval between each sound is about three to five seconds, and they come one after another.

It sounded like a craftsman striking a hammer, yet it was also as beautiful as music. Each ring resonated in one's soul, making one yearn for the mountain peak from which the sound emanated.

"Lord Liliana, can you hear me?"

Shirou turned his head and asked the silver-haired girl beside him.

"What did you hear? Are you referring to the sound of an earthquake?"

Liliana paused for a moment after hearing Shirou's question before answering.

Upon hearing Liliana's words, Shirou realized that even magicians would have difficulty perceiving the earth-shaking tremors; only a 'godslayer' like himself could feel them clearly.

After all, 'godslayers' are inherently quite sensitive to the existence of 'disobedient gods'.

Upon hearing this sound, Shirou confirmed that a "disobedient god" had indeed appeared on the other side of Mount Olympus.

Shirou immediately spoke to Erica and Liliana.

"Immediately contact the magicians on Mount Olympus and have them set up a 'Disperse the Bystanders' spell."

Upon hearing Shirou's words, the two knight princesses immediately guessed what was going on.

"Your Majesty, have you sensed any rebellious gods appearing on Mount Olympus?"

"I'll contact the magic society over there immediately!"

"Driver, speed up!"

The two girls, who had just been arguing, immediately stopped playing around after hearing about the serious matter. They started dealing with it seriously as if nothing had happened.

Seeing their serious attitude, Shirou smiled with satisfaction, then opened the car door and jumped out.

""king"!?"

Compared to Liliana's composure, Erica, who had never witnessed Shirou's battle with the 'Black Dragon' Nidhogg, was shocked by the scene of Shirou suddenly leaping up and shooting into the sky with a sonic boom.

"No incantation needed, and no trace of magic whatsoever... Is this the power of the 'Godslayer'...?"

Erica's face couldn't help but show an expression of longing.

It should be said that any magician or ordinary person would yearn for the existence of such power.

At this moment, Liliana, who had been very calm, suddenly became anxious after receiving a phone call.

"Damn it, volcanoes all over Greece have suddenly erupted. This is very likely related to the 'disobedient god' that has appeared this time, but the 'King' has already gone there, and we have no way to tell him this clue...!"

……

In Greek mythology, Mount Olympus is the mountain where the gods reside. The original meaning of "Olympus" comes from "the place of light".

In Greek mythology, it holds a position equivalent to heaven, where gods, demigods, and their servants reside.

Because it is the most famous sacred mountain in ancient Greek mythology, it attracts tourists from all over the world to visit and sightsee.

Although this is not peak tourist season, Mount Olympus still attracts many visitors.

However, thanks to Erica and Liliana's communication, Mount Olympus issued an emergency closure order, ceasing all access to tourists.

Although this will draw a lot of complaints and criticism from the outside world, it is the best way to handle the situation compared to letting tourists enter and causing injuries or deaths.

Meanwhile, the tourists who were climbing the mountain were dispersed by the magicians using magic tricks and arranged to leave.

"It seems those magic societies are still doing something."

Soaring through the sky, Shirou ignored the howling wind rushing towards him, his gaze lingering on Mount Olympus below.

Shirou couldn't see through the mountain peak because it was obscured by thick clouds, and the summit was covered with thick snow all year round. So from Shirou's perspective at that moment, it looked like a pure white expanse, and he couldn't tell whether there was anyone there.

The closer Shirou got to the summit of Mount Olympus, the clearer he could hear the incredibly crisp sound.

clang----!

A clear, resounding sound came from beneath the clouds, and with each sound, the earth trembled violently.

Listening carefully, Shirou felt that the sound was like the clanging of weapons clashing, heavy yet clear, each strike resonating in one's soul.

"Which 'disobedient god' could it be? Let me reveal your true face."

As he murmured this, Shirou's figure, which had been soaring through the sky, plummeted rapidly.

Chapter Twenty-One: The God Who Forges Divine Weapons

Bang!

As Shirou's body landed on the ground, it immediately sent mud and rocks flying, and cracks appeared on the ground, spreading outwards in an arc-shaped spiral.

Before Shirou stood a magnificent palace, within which lay a stone statue that faintly radiated a golden glow. The statue was so indistinct that its true form was no longer discernible; it was covered in cracks, its luster was dim, and its colors were mottled.

At the entrance of that magnificent palace stood a burly man.

The man held an iron hammer and struck the steel placed on the anvil in front of him again and again. Each strike was so heavy that it made the earth tremble.

clang----!

The man seemed completely oblivious to Shirou's presence, continuing to hammer at the steel, and with each strike...

The more steel placed on the anvil, the more it gradually emitted a special pure white glow.

His arms and shoulders were strong and powerful, but his body was like that of a dwarf, and his right leg also appeared to be lame.

Behind the man stood rows of enormous metal figures, each five meters tall. These figures remained motionless throughout, standing quietly, the sunlight reflecting off them and creating a silvery sheen.

"Hephaestus, the god of fire and craftsmen..."

Shirou looked thoughtfully at the man who ignored everything around him and focused intently on wielding his hammer to forge steel from beginning to end.

Hephaestus is the Greek god of fire, forging and stonemasonry, and sculpture, and is also one of the twelve Olympian gods.

According to Homer's epics, he was the son of Zeus and Hera (or the only son of Hera), and the husband of Aphrodite.

Hephaestus was skilled in building temples, crafting various weapons and metal products, and was highly skilled himself. He was hailed as the progenitor of craftsmen and the patron god of forging.

In Lemnos, Sicily, and other islands, he was originally revered as the god of fire and earth. It is said that when the earth rumbles and volcanoes erupt, it is him forging iron.

"So that's how it is... The rumbling I heard from the earth earlier was produced by each swing of his hammer while forging..."

(a) 2 neighbors 3 2 Mio 7 matters 8 kuan

Shirou suddenly realized.

But then Shirou had another question.

Hephaestus couldn't possibly be unaware of his arrival, so why is he not reacting at this moment and continuing to forge that piece of steel?

Shirou stared intently at the steel placed on the anvil, which Hephaestus had struck countless times with his hammer. He discovered that the steel had now taken the shape of a greatsword, and the blade was radiating a pure white light.

After staring at it for a moment, Shirou looked at the greatsword with some surprise.

"That's... a divine artifact!?"

No wonder Hephaestus ignored his arrival the whole time, because he was forging a divine weapon and could not afford any distractions, otherwise even the slightest mistake could lead to failure.

Shirou could sense that the greatsword, which radiated a pure white light, possessed power that was definitely at the level of an EX Noble Phantasm.

"We can't let him continue forging!"

Thinking of this, Shirou rushed forward, and a pale blue light flashed in mid-air. Countless swords were revealed, turning into a net that rained down from the sky!

Whoosh whoosh! ! !

Even if it is a 'rebellious god', if it were to take this attack head-on, it would inevitably be severely injured as Shirou activates "Imagine Collapse"!

Surprisingly, even in the face of the rain of swords, Hephaestus remained unshaken and continued to swing his hammer.

Just as those magical artifacts were about to strike Hephaestus's body, the metallic figures behind him, whose bodies reflected a silvery light, began to move.

They spread their steel arms and used their bodies to block all the rain of swords.

Clang clang clang—!!!

These metal figures are no ordinary beings, for they were created by Hephaestus, the god of craftsmen. As a result, their bodies are as hard as A+ rank Noble Phantasms, able to withstand these sword-shaped Noble Phantasms without suffering any damage.

The primary attack method of the Noble Phantasms used by Shirou has never been a projection like "Gate of Babylon," but rather "Imagine Collapse," which detonates the Noble Phantasm after projection, causing massive damage.

Although all the Noble Phantasms that were launched were deflected by Hephaestus's metal figures, they could still cause damage when detonated between them.

Without hesitation, Shirou raised his right hand toward the direction of the metal figures, and then suddenly clenched it.

"Fantasy Collapse!"

Those swords that had been deflected and landed on the ground, seemingly no longer a threat, were now scorching hot, and tiny cracks began to appear on their blades, which continued to widen.
