Accelerated by purple lightning, the 10-meter-long katana was instantly drawn from its sheath. With Saya as the center, it directly slashed out a huge ring. After being slashed out, the ring instantly spread out with lightning, bisecting the surrounding buildings and cutting the fleeing hunters in half on the spot.
Only the leader reacted quickly enough to lie on the ground and escape the disaster unscathed, but even his hair was scorched by the lightning that grazed past.
“Boss… save… save me… I don’t want to die…”
The leader, lying on the ground, watched his subordinates, who had been turned into two pieces not far away, reach out to him for help, his face full of fear.
Run! Get up and run! Get up and run quickly!
But fear made him unable to stand up at all. He directly used both hands and feet to crawl forward, but before he could crawl a few steps, he felt a sharp pain in his right thigh.
“Ah!!!”
His right leg was pierced by the katana. Kirisame directly pierced his thigh, pinning it to the ground, making it impossible for him to crawl.
“Damn it!”
He couldn't see the person behind him, but he could feel someone approaching. Filled with fear and anger, he turned around and threw the dagger in his hand behind him with all his might.
Clang——
The thrown dagger was blocked by the Onikage armor, bounced away, spun several times in the air, and then fell to the ground.
“Why is there someone like you, you demon!”
The leader, straining his neck, finally saw Saya who had approached from behind. However, upon hearing his evaluation, Saya smiled very contentedly.
“A demon, is it? That's quite a good evaluation. Lord Tokimune will definitely laugh when he hears it.”
“Then…”
Saya revealed a cruel smile, gripped the sheath in her left hand, and at the same time controlled the Onikage armor to grab the leader's neck, pulling him up from the ground, along with his thigh and Kirisame.
“Ah ah!!!!!”
The pain caused the leader to scream, but this was just the beginning. As he was lifted up, what he saw was the scabbard constantly magnifying in his field of vision.
“Ah!!!!!”
Afterward, an even more terrifying scream echoed on the street.
At the entrance of the Hestia Familia's residence, Wang Xiaoming sat with his hands folded on his exclusive white plastic chair. Esther had already been recalled by Wang Xiaoming, and he had also put on his clothes again. Another set of his clothes had been lost.
On the ground at the entrance, lay hundreds of people, including the Ganesha Familia and those who came to provoke them, and even the onlookers. They were all lying on the scorched ground, and Leticia, as the head maid, was leading the girls to distribute panaceas to them one by one.
Although Wang Xiaoming slashed out with his sword, he had Esther control the firepower when he slashed out, so these people were affected by the flame shockwave and injured, but they did not die. As long as they were given a panacea, they could recover.
These fools were tricked by the hunters to come and make trouble for him, but Wang Xiaoming had no hatred for them in essence, so Wang Xiaoming would only teach them a lesson and would not really kill them.
As for the affected onlookers and the people of the Ganesha Familia, he would pay to buy them panaceas to heal them. Don't ask, just know that he doesn't lack money!
Wang Xiaoming is not a problem child who only knows how to fight and doesn't care about cleaning up. He will naturally be responsible for cleaning up the mess for the things he decides to do, just like a certain Gold Queen and a certain White Night Demon Lord, whose images in other people's minds are completely different.
After all, more than twenty familias represent more than twenty gods. He can be indifferent, but Hestia still has to continue to live in Orario, and the Danmachi world is also his main world of life. He cannot let the relationship between Hestia and those gods become strained. None of the other familias of the Four Emperors Familia have a very bad relationship with other familias, and the Hestia Familia should naturally be the same.
Moreover, if Wang Xiaoming kills wantonly, it will definitely trigger a war between familias. That is what the dark factions of Orario used to do. At that time, the Freya Familia and the Loki Familia will directly attack the Hestia Familia for the sake of Orario's peace, and the Ganesha Familia will also intervene. Hestia will be ostracized in Orario.
Wang Xiaoming can naturally kill them all, but he came to this world to find a wife and live happily with his wife, not to do some kind of Twilight of the Gods. This time, defeating them, while protecting Xiaohong, is also to let Orario know the strength of the Hestia Familia, and then let the Hestia Familia reach the top of the hot search as Hestia hoped!
When Leticia and the others were distributing panaceas to these people, the members of the Ganesha Familia who had left earlier finally returned, and also brought back the god Ganesha.
The god Ganesha, who rushed over, looked at the street that was like ruins, and was stunned for a while, completely unaware of what had happened here. Fortunately, the people of the Ganesha Familia had already recovered after taking the panacea first, and then told Ganesha what had happened here.
After Ganesha listened to the complete process, he also breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that something big had happened, or that there had been some major casualties. Fortunately, Wang Xiaoming did not kill anyone, and the follow-up treatment after the battle was also very good. At least the onlookers did not have any complaints. If you want to eat melons, you must be prepared to be affected. Everyone is an adventurer, and they all understand. Moreover, people have already given you a panacea, so what complaints do you have?
As a god who knows the existence of the xenos, Ganesha will be more inclined to Wang Xiaoming in his heart after understanding that the object Wang Xiaoming is protecting is a xenos. Therefore, Ganesha did not blame Wang Xiaoming at all, and even took the initiative to help him negotiate with those twenty-odd familias.
After that, Saya also brought Xiaohong and the leader of the hunters back.
Onikage held Xiaohong in one hand and carried the leader like a rag in the other. The leader's hands and feet were all broken by Saya with the scabbard. He was already a completely useless person, but he was still not dead. The reason for leaving him behind was because he would become a witness to the existence of the xenos and be harmless.
Since Wang Xiaoming chose to adopt Xiaohong, he has already intervened in the matter of the xenos and cannot escape. Therefore, Wang Xiaoming plans to establish contact with the xenos with Xiaohong as the bond, and establish an alliance relationship with the xenos with the Hestia Familia as the theme.
At that time, Wang Xiaoming will have his own power in the underground dungeon under the ground, and Wang Xiaoming will also have his own power in Orario on the ground. In addition, Wang Xiaoming defeated the leaders of more than twenty familias alone today, and the Hestia Familia will definitely become the most popular familia in Orario!
What Wang Xiaoming didn't expect was that the matter of the xenos had not had time to be dealt with, but another god took the initiative to find him.
The martial god from Japanese mythology, and also Hestia's god friend—Takemikazuchi.
[Gaze from Takemikazuchi]
468. Skill: Power of the Thunder God
At the entrance of the Hestia Familia, Hestia's good friend—Takemikazuchi, who is also the A-Jian in Hestia's usual words, suddenly paid a visit.
This martial god from Shinto came with Saeko Busujima, and has been looking at Wang Xiaoming ever since he came.
“Lord Takemikazuchi, long time no see.”
Wang Xiaoming took the initiative to greet him. From the perspective of time, it has indeed been a while since he saw Takemikazuchi.
“Captain Xiaoming, long time no see.”
Takemikazuchi greeted him very politely, and then looked around.
“What's going on with so many people here?”
“Some rather special things have happened. We are dealing with them together with the Ganesha Familia. God Ganesha is also nearby.”
“Is that so? Sounds pretty bad. I hope it won’t have too much of an impact.”
Takemikazuchi is a benevolent deity in Orario and doesn't actively participate in other matters, which is why his Familia is very poor, just like Hestia's used to be. As a god, he still works part-time as a waiter in a fried potato stall.
“Captain Xiaoming, there's something I'd like to ask you about.”
“Please, go ahead.”
“I encountered your Familia's vice-captain, [Sword Devil], on the street just now. I saw her fighting, but what intrigued me was that I sensed a familiar power within her. Out of curiosity, I asked her after the fight, but she told me that you gave her those powers.”
Takemikazuchi's face was full of curiosity.
“Could you tell me, where did you get those powers?”
“The power within Yazi…”
Wang Xiaoming roughly understood that Takemikazuchi sensed the power of Susanoo. Although this Susanoo is not that Susanoo, they are both Shinto deities. Although Takemikazuchi's status is not as high as Susanoo's, he is still a proper god and must be familiar with Susanoo.
“Indeed, I gave it to her.”
Wang Xiaoming took Yazi to the Campione world, then used Empty Fist to subdue Susanoo. So, saying Wang Xiaoming gave it to her isn't really a problem.
“As for where I got it, I met an old man outside Orario, and he gave me this power.”
“An old man?”
“Yes, although he was an old man, he looked very shrewd, giving me the feeling of a martial artist.”
“I see….”
Takemikazuchi nodded.
“Takemikazuchi, is there a problem with that??”
Facing Wang Xiaoming's question, Takemikazuchi waved his hand and shook his head with a smile.
“No, not at all. Since he gave you the power, it means you have gained his approval. Then how you handle this power is up to you. There's no problem at all.”
“Besides, I also think Miss Yazi is very suitable for this power.”
“That's right, I felt that Yazi's style was very suitable for this power, so I gave it to her, and she has mastered it.”
“Yes, this power is very strong. Make good use of it.”
Takemikazuchi nodded with satisfaction, his gaze towards Wang Xiaoming and Yazi full of approval.
A window popped up in front of Wang Xiaoming.
【Achievement: Gaze from Takemikazuchi】
【Power of the Thunder God】
Trait: You have gained the attention of the martial god Takemikazuchi, thus obtaining the power of Takemikazuchi. You can use the power of lightning, and you can also summon the true body of the Thunder God to protect you and assist in attacks.
The gaze of a god, gaining a skill, is a great deal! But this time the skill is unexpectedly simple and direct. The previous skills were all kinds of biased descriptions, Loki's was a dog, Apollo's was G, Ganesha's was dad, but this time it's a simple and direct Thunder God. Although it doesn't improve himself much, it's nice that Wang Xiaoming has another element.
Moreover, that's not the main thing. The main thing is that the gaze of a god will bring a new world instance.
【Special Achievement: Myth Descent】
【You have already gained the attention of multiple gods. You are a darling of the gods. As a darling of the gods, you are qualified to come into contact with the world of myths.】
【The special instance has been opened, and now you can freely enter and exit the Myth Descent special instance. This instance cannot provide clearance rewards, but you can obtain special rewards in the instance.】
【Warning: This instance is extremely difficult. Please pay attention to improving your own level and abilities.】
A new world has appeared. This is what Wang Xiaoming values most, a new world, representing a new world of resources. What a great thing.
“Takemikazuchi, you're here too.”
When Wang Xiaoming was happy about opening a new instance world for himself, Ganesha walked over from not far away and greeted Takemikazuchi.
“Ganesha, I just arrived.”
“You've come at the right time. I'm preparing to hold a God Meeting later. You can come and listen in.”
“Holding a God Meeting?”
Although Takemikazuchi was puzzled, he could guess that the convening of the God Meeting should be related to the chaotic scene here.
“Yes.”
God Ganesha nodded.
“I will summon many gods at that time. Since you are here now, you might as well wait a while, so you don't have to run over again later.”
“Okay, no problem.”
Takemikazuchi nodded and didn't leave, starting to accompany Ganesha to leave.
The Ganesha Familia left, taking the wounded and disabled on the ground with them. Correspondingly, Wang Xiaoming also had to make preparations and then participate in the God Meeting.
“Mingjun, is it okay?”
As the goddess of the Hestia Familia, Hestia also had to attend the God Meeting, but she wasn't particularly clear about Wang Xiaoming's plan. Wang Xiaoming just said that he was waiting for people to come to his door, and the result was what it is now, a direct fight. Wang Xiaoming single-handedly defeating the captains of more than twenty Familias made Hestia very happy, but she was a little worried about the subsequent God Meeting.
“Don't worry, Hestia, we'll be fine. This God Meeting will be an opportunity for our Hestia Familia to rise.”
“Eh? Is that so?”
Hestia was very surprised.
“That's right, Hestia, don't you believe me?”
“Of course I believe Mingjun!”
Hestia replied without hesitation.
“In that case, Hestia, you can rest assured and attend the God Meeting, and then watch my performance on the spot.”
“Yes! I'll listen to you, Mingjun!”
Wang Xiaoming's confident appearance made Hestia feel extremely at ease. As Wang Xiaoming's wife, she now unconditionally believed in Wang Xiaoming.
“Yazi, please bring that guy over here.”
After reassuring Hestia, Wang Xiaoming called Yazi over.
“Mingjun, here you go.”
Yazi came over, still in the state of manifesting her Oni Armor, holding Little Red in one hand and carrying the unconscious leader in the other.
“Thank you, Yazi. Leave the rest to me.”
Wang Xiaoming took the leader from Yazi's hand, looked at the unconscious leader, and showed a bright smile.
【Blackening】 activated!
469. The Gods' Meeting and Judgment
The upper levels of Babel, the place where God Meetings are usually held. Although it wasn't the fixed time for the monthly God Meeting, the gods still arrived as soon as Ganesha summoned them. After all, everyone knew that something big had happened in Orario. The flames and explosions on the streets were heard by everyone in Orario. Soon after, people from the Ganesha Familia came to notify them, so it was hard not to know that something had happened.
The gods quickly gathered in the God Meeting Hall. The gods of the Four Emperor Familias were all present, and many gods of small and medium Familias also came. Except for some gods who were really unwilling to participate in the God Meeting, almost all the remaining gods came.
In addition, there were also some human adventurers. The adventurers of the Ganesha Familia were responsible for maintaining order, and outside the Ganesha Familia, there were also more than twenty Familia captains present. The gods of those Familias were all dumbfounded when they saw their children's captains present, completely not knowing what was going on, and looking at their children's appearances, it seemed like they had been beaten?
