Just like the Frost Giants of Jotunheim, the Gods of Japan also became targets for Lucas to establish his authority.
The former was to warn the Nine Realms.
The latter was to warn the various pantheons on Earth.
On the helicarrier, the Avengers, poised for action, fell into a daze. They were currently pondering an ultimate question.
Who am I, where am I, and what am I supposed to do?
Didn't we agree to act together and fight side by side?
After a long while, Bruce recovered and asked, "Is Lucas always this brave? He just acts without a word. And when he does, it's a trump card."
Tony, Natasha, Clint, and Blade were silent. They had fought alongside Lucas during the Blood God's Advent. At that time, Lucas had already shown himself to be very strong and reckless. Now he was even stronger and more reckless.
Below, the people who had suddenly lost their homes looked at the surrounding ruins, unable to believe their eyes.
Didn't that God in the sky save them from the tsunami not long ago? Why now was he destroying their homes?
"No, that's not right!"
Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted.
"The one in the sky is the true God, those in the shrines are false Gods."
"The true God is slaying the false God, the destruction of our buildings is just collateral damage."
"Look, aren't we all still alive and well?"
As he spoke, he spread his arms and spun around, proving that he was unharmed.
"It's all the fault of those who worship false Gods. They angered the true God, causing the God to send down divine punishment, which made us lose our homes."
"Yes, that must be it."
As for the conversation between Lucas and Susanoo-no-Mikoto, it was selectively ignored.
The bewildered and angry crowd needed to vent. But that target could not be Lucas, who held their lives and deaths in his hands.
...
In the Dimensional Space, the Japanese Pantheon watched Susanoo-no-Mikoto's lower body fall, creating a small crater in the large crater made by the meteor impact. Only then did they come to their senses.
One of their chief Gods, Susanoo-no-Mikoto, who governed the sea, was instantly killed with a single kick.
"Quick! Close the passage, and fully reinforce the Dimensional defense."
Within Takamagahara, Amaterasu Omikami, one of the three chief Gods of the Japanese Pantheon, reacted and quickly ordered the guards to close the Dimensional passage. As one of the three chief Gods, if Susanoo-no-Mikoto was instantly killed with a single kick, she wouldn't fare much better.
On the other side, the same scene was unfolding.
"Quick! Close the Yomi passage, and fully reinforce the Dimensional defense."
Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto, also one of the three chief Gods of the Japanese Pantheon, also reacted.
In the sky, Lucas watched the two Dimensional passages closing, unconcerned. He had already projected energy into them for positioning, and could enter at any time through a portal.
However, for a battle to establish authority, if he were to just rush in and decapitate, it would be a bit of an anticlimactic ending. He wanted to make a grander spectacle.
When the Dimensional passages closed and the defensive barriers were established, the Gods in the dimension relaxed their expressions.
Only then did Lucas speak, "Do you want to negotiate? I love negotiating."
"Negotiate?"
Amaterasu Omikami and Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto exchanged glances across the spaces, somewhat moved.
Their brother had died.
But... they were indeed afraid.
Susanoo-no-Mikoto was the most skilled in battle among the three of them, and he was instantly killed.
After a moment of hesitation, Amaterasu Omikami was the first to ask, "What are your conditions?"
"You surrender, open your minds, and let me examine your memories one by one. Those who collude with Extra-Dimensional Beings, die."
As Lucas's voice fell, his killing intent was palpable.
The faces of the Gods in both Takamagahara and Yomi changed.
They were Gods of faith.
After the Ancient One established the rules, their sources of faith were almost cut off.
Without trading with Extra-Dimensional Beings, their power would rapidly decline. Every single one of the Gods still alive and functioning had made deals with Extra-Dimensional Beings.
Wasn't this condition asking them to die?
Almost without thinking, Amaterasu Omikami directly refused, "This condition is too overbearing, we cannot accept it. It infringes upon our right to privacy."
"Right to privacy?"
Lucas's expression was strange, were these Gods so up-to-date with the times?
"So, you refuse."
Lucas smiled, this was better.
What he wanted to demonstrate was dominance, not bloodlust.
Without further ado, he drew circles with both hands, simultaneously opening a portal above Takamagahara and Yomi.
On the other side of the door was the wun, which had been burning for billions of years.
The talent [Energy Absorption] was slightly activated. The sun's energy instantly converged, then shot through the portals towards Takamagahara and Yomi.
Two high-energy pulse cannons struck the Dimensional barriers of Takamagahara and Yomi, creating layers of ripples.
"Great, it's blocked!"
Within Takamagahara, Amaterasu Omikami's mind eased.
Just now, Lucas had again acted without a word, which truly scared her. Fortunately, Takamagahara's barrier held.
"Sorcerer, Susanoo-no-Mikoto, who colluded with the Beast, has already been slain by you. Let's end it here. You cannot break through Takamagahara's barrier."
Amaterasu Omikami's voice had barely faded when Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto's voice rang out.
"Not good, the intensity of the attack is rapidly increasing."
After all, being on Earth, Lucas had to be a little careful to prevent accidentally blowing up the Earth. So he didn't go all out at first, but gradually increased the intensity.
At this moment, the pulse cannon attack, with its gradually increasing energy intensity, was like the approaching footsteps of the God of Death.
Amaterasu Omikami and Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto were thrown into disarray.
In Japanese mythology. One was the Sun Goddess, and the other was the God of Death of the Underworld. But the true sun's energy was now pushing them towards death.
Under the bombardment of the two gradually strengthening pulse cannons, Japan was the first to give way.
The high-energy pulse cannons bombarded the barrier, and the light and heat that escaped heated Japan.
Left with no choice, Ancient One pulled all the people in the affected area into the Mirror Dimension.
"Japan... it's gone."
In the Mirror Dimension, the crowd, witnessing their home engulfed in flames, stared blankly, collapsing to the ground.
With a sobbing voice, they kept repeating.
At this moment, they hated Amaterasu Omikami for refusing Lucas.
If you have a clear conscience, why don't you dare to accept the inspection?
It's all the fault of these false Gods, colluding with extraterrestrial demons, that brought about the God's punishment.
