Chapter 339: World's Top Ten Supreme Masters Four Gods Enter the Battle!!!
This suddenly attacking machine, with such an appearance, couldn't possibly belong to any known mythology.
Correction—some mythologies might indeed include mechanical-like entities, such as mechanical puppets.
But this thing before them was definitely not one of those; the power it used didn't belong to any mythological system.
"Here it comes again!!!"
Odin's pupils contracted—the thing unleashed another flash of light, even more ferocious than the previous attack.
So—
"What—!"
His face paled drastically, as his remaining defensive spells were pierced through in an instant.
But it wasn't that the defenses were shattered; rather, they were bypassed as if they were illusions.
Simply put, the magical defenses were rendered ineffective, immune to this second attack.
Thus, he had no time to deploy other spells.
Once it hit, this school, this city, would instantly be vaporized. The ensuing explosion would shatter the nation, reshaping the entire landscape beyond recognition.
But just as the light was about to strike, it suddenly dispersed.
The light scattered like a mist, instantly shattered as if punched apart, and the clouds in the sky were blown away like dust. The reason was that this attack had been broken apart by a single, pure hammer strike.
"Thor, the God of Thunder."
"He's here too?"
The one who shattered this blow was none other than the Norse God of Thunder, one of the "World's Top Ten Supreme Masters."
In the next instant, Thor leaped into the air, moving so fast it was as if he had teleported, arriving directly in front of the mechanical creature.
Boom—!
A tremendous impact resounded, shaking the very atmosphere and space itself.
However—
"What!"
"H-he actually blocked Thor's attack!"
The gods were left dumbfounded, as the mechanical creature had caught the incoming Thunder Hammer with a single hand.
Immediately, some gods began to gloat—grabbing the Thunder Hammer? Wasn't that just asking for death?
Crackle—!
In an instant, a terrifying surge of lightning erupted from the hammer, engulfing the mechanical creature.
And then—
Boom—!
A figure was sent flying, crashing directly into a mountain and shattering it.
Before the sound of the mountain's collapse could even reach the spectators at Kuoh Academy, Thor reappeared, but his bloodied, twisted arm made everyone's expressions turn grim.
This was Thor, the God of Thunder—and in less than two seconds of combat, he had already sustained such a severe injury.
Hmm? It was happening again. The mechanical monster was far too arrogant, seemingly disregarding Thor entirely as it prepared to carry out its extermination strike against everyone.
The multiple eyes on its head suddenly flashed with crimson beams.
Correction—these weren't sustained laser beams, but bullet-like projectiles of light.
Countless crimson beams shot toward the crowd like a torrential downpour.
"Damn it!"
"Why are the defensive barriers useless?!"
"Bastard, these beams are homing?!"
Amid the curses and shouts, people scrambled to dodge, looking utterly disheveled.
Of course, countless screams echoed as well—those who had been hit.
Fortunately, no one died on the spot, but the severely injured required immediate treatment.
Boom—!
Another deafening roar erupted in the sky as Thor clashed with the mechanical creature once more.
This time, the battle was even fiercer than before, forcing the mechanical creature to prioritize Thor as its primary target.
The clash between the two turned the skies dark, erased mountains, shattered the earth, and even split the ocean in its wake, generating terrifying tsunamis.
In short, the mere aftermath of their battle was enough to effortlessly obliterate a small city like Kuoh Town.
So, wouldn't such a fight result in countless human casualties across the nation?
Not exactly.
The moment the mechanical creature appeared, a massive barrier had been erected, isolating the battlefield from reality.
However, the battle between the two was too intense. The power of Michael, Azazel, and the others alone wasn't enough to sustain the barrier, so the other gods present joined in to help maintain it.
Everyone witnessed this unprecedented battle, a clash of top-tier chief gods that could potentially destroy the human world.
Boom——!
That was a hammer strike capable of shattering space itself, and with this blow, the mechanical creature's body was torn to pieces.
Thus, the curtain fell on this battle.
The severely injured Thor could finally catch his breath.
"Watch out!!!"
"Thor, that thing isn't dead!"
"Damn monster!!!"
From the shattered parts of the mechanical creature, numerous tentacle-like appendages surged out, rapidly interconnecting and pulling its body back together to restore itself.
"Time to intervene!"
"We can't let this continue!"
"Once it affects reality, it'll be troublesome!"
So three figures joined the fray: Vishnu, the guardian god of Hindu mythology; Aten, the sun god of Egyptian mythology; and Lugh, the god of light from Celtic mythology.
This was no time for individual heroics, regardless of whether Thor would be displeased.
With the addition of three top-tier gods no less powerful than Thor, the battle instantly intensified to a degree that made everyone tremble with fear.
"Is this the terror of those crowned as World's Ten Top Masters?"
"They're all chief gods, yet the gap is this vast!"
"That monster is even more terrifying, isn't it?"
Although the four gods' intervention caused the scales to tip severely, the mechanical creature still managed to hold on stubbornly rather than being swiftly eliminated, demonstrating its horrifying resilience.
"Vanish!"
"Leave our world!"
"I refuse to believe it can recover from this!"
The mechanical creature was submerged under a tidal wave of power released by the top gods—force sufficient to wipe out all surface humanity.
As the power surge dissipated, the mechanical creature's traces vanished without a shadow, appearing completely annihilated.
However, the gods' expressions remained grim. They had sensed that just as the mechanical being was about to be destroyed, an external force suddenly rescued it, teleporting it away.
In another dimension.
"How is it? Seekvaira?"
"The message has been sent. Once the gate opens, it will reach that world. And couldn't you have pulled it in sooner? There's still so much about this thing we haven't studied. What if it had really been destroyed?"
Seekvaira complained like this.
"Well, then I'll have to trouble you to work some overtime."
"Will there be overtime pay?"
"What overtime pay?"
So Seekvaira looked at the man before her, slightly fidgeting, her cheeks blushing faintly.
"Um, well, I'd like a bottle of that secret formula perfume too~"
The marvelous perfume had already become popular among the women, so Seekvaira also wanted to receive a bottle as a gift.
"Sure. Would you like to pay in advance? Or after working overtime on the repairs?"
The man smiled as he spoke. If one looked closely into his eyes, they might detect a hint of mischief.
"This... I'll pay after the overtime work is done~"
