[1.Use Wing Contract to form a contract with Eucliwood, granting her the power of a subordinate god in order to suppress the magical power within her body.]
[2.Kill the Heretic Sin of Gluttony and seize its power of the source of hunger — the Sin of Gluttony. Use the Sin of Gluttony to devour magical power without limit, and it can also fuse the devoured power into an attack capable of shattering entire star systems.]
[3.Use the divine tool Greed Demon Pot to absorb the magical power from Eucliwood and combine it with the divine tool Fate Grinding Stone in order to crush that magical power.]
Faced with the three options given to him by Peeping Eye, Nakano Yu believed that the most feasible method was undoubtedly the second option.
Although that meant summoning another Heretic God and spending time and effort to kill it, at least he could obtain an extremely useful power.
As for the other two solutions, Nakano Yu could only say that one was impractical, while the other was merely a temporary solution.
First, let's talk about using Wing Contract to control the magical power within Eucliwood. At first glance, it seemed feasible, and in fact it was. If he formed a contract with Eucliwood using Wing Contract, it really could greatly increase Eucliwood's control over her own power.
But the problem was that he could form a contract with Eucliwood, but would Eucliwood agree?
Eucliwood was, after all, originally a necromancer from the Seventh Abyss of the Underworld. There was a very low probability that she would agree to the conditions of Wing Contract, and even now Nakano Yu could sense Eucliwood's vigilance toward him.
His actions tonight had been a little too intentional, too sudden, causing Eucliwood to become extremely wary of him. If he had taken things gradually, this situation would not have happened, but Nakano Yu did not want that; it would take too much time.
Moreover, Eucliwood's situation was no joke. If he wanted Eucliwood to remain by his side, the most important thing he had to consider was safety.
Eucliwood's own safety, and... the safety of the Quintuplets and this home.
It was not that Nakano Yu did not trust Eucliwood, but rather that the rampaging magical power within Eucliwood was not something to play around with. If something went wrong, or if someone with malicious intentions deliberately caused trouble, the damage that would result would be enormous.
If possible, it would be best if Eucliwood accepted Wing Contract; then all the problems could be solved. However, Nakano Yu knew that Eucliwood would most likely refuse. Moreover, one of the prerequisites for activating Wing Contract was that the person forming the contract develop dependence on the contractor.
That was not something Eucliwood currently possessed, so Nakano Yu immediately eliminated the Wing Contract option.
Secondly, Nakano Yu did not even consider using those two divine tools he had never heard of, Greed Demon Pot and Fate Grinding Stone, to solve Eucliwood's magical power problem.
Not to mention that the time required to gather those two divine tools would be similar to summoning the Heretic Sin of Gluttony, he was not sure, nor did he dare gamble, on whether they could permanently solve the magical power problem.
What if, after finding those two divine tools, it turned out that they only offered a temporary solution to Eucliwood's problem? That would be a huge loss.
"I still have to kill a Heretic God, huh."
With a sigh, Nakano Yu rubbed his hair and mentally organized the divine tools required to summon the Heretic Sin of Gluttony.
To summon the Heretic Sin of Gluttony, four divine tools were required: box of gluttony, Chaser, Exile, and heart of water.
Speaking of the Heretic Sin of Gluttony, many people only knew the name, but Nakano Yu actually knew this Heretic God extremely well.
The Sin of Gluttony, or Beelzebub, the Lord of Flies, was described in Milton's Paradise Lost as a powerful demon king comparable to God. However, that was merely slander against the Sin of Gluttony, limited to the Sin of Gluttony within Christian mythology.
Once outside Christian mythology, the Sin of Gluttony gained another name — Baal! Or more precisely, Melqart, king of the Phoenician Pantheon in Phoenician mythology, the strongest hunter of Dragon Slayer in Phoenician mythology.
Melqart's divine authority was enormous; he was the God of Storms, as well as the God of Thunder and Water.
In Phoenician mythology, Melqart was often depicted as a powerful man sitting beside water, which also led to him being associated with water in some myths.
Moreover, as a Dragon Slayer Hero, Melqart was also worshipped as the God of Cities. In the medieval Key of Solomon, Melqart's image appeared and he received another impressive divine name.
That divine name was Baal, one of the seventy-two demon kings, a deity with the nature of a king, which also secretly matched Baal's original identity as the king of the Phoenician Pantheon.
Throughout thousands of years of mythological development, Melqart's image became increasingly grandiose, approaching the Norse king of gods Odin and the Greek third king of gods Zeus.
However, these three Heretic Gods were not the same deity; although they carried a high degree of similarity, there were significant differences in their life stories.
"Melqart, huh..."
As he thought, the image of a muscular, gigantic giant appeared in Nakano Yu's mind.
Melqart possessed many authorities, and the difficulty of successfully killing the Heretic Melqart was no less than killing the Heretic Frigg.
Previously, Nakano Yu killed the Heretic Frigg by taking advantage of an opportunity, relying on Frigg's arrogance as a queen and exposing her facade as a goddess of beauty, which enraged the Heretic Frigg and forced her to expend a massive amount of energy to summon the Crystal Palace.
It was precisely because of that that Nakano Yu completely understood Frigg's divine nature and successfully killed the Heretic Frigg.
But Melqart was different from Frigg. Frigg was a Norse queen, and her known authorities were Prophecy and the Beauty she controlled as a goddess of beauty. Even Frigg's Twelve Maids were more oriented toward support abilities rather than direct combat.
But Melqart was not like that. As the king of the Phoenician Pantheon, that divine position was not innate to Melqart, nor was it bestowed upon him by humans, but rather it was a divine position that Melqart truly fought for with his own fists and blades!
Before Melqart, the God King who ruled Phoenician mythology was a gigantic dragon named Dragon King Yam. With the help of Exile and Chaser, Melqart lured Dragon King Yam away from his throne, then strangled and defeated the gigantic dragon with divine power.
That was how Melqart became the true king of the Pantheon.
Speaking of that, some demigod heroes from Greek mythology also carried certain similarities to Melqart, but the two were not the same deity; they were merely similar.
But that was enough to prove that Melqart was absolutely not an obscure king of gods from a minor mythology, because a king of gods from a minor mythology would not influence the fourth generation of gods in Greek mythology.
Returning to the main topic, Melqart was a true God of Combat, who possessed supreme divine power. If he wanted to kill Melqart, he still had to be completely prepared.
Thinking about that, Nakano Yu waved his hand and ordered the Moon God Envoy to gather the divine tools, while he himself focused on cooking, but silently planned in his mind the preparations needed for killing a God.
