The Smoke Mirror stared into Favia's eyes, so close, and yet so solemnly told him: "Completely resolve the rules governing this world, reshape the world itself, and kill Hipparchus, who the four gods united to kill at great cost."
After the death of the water monster Hipparchus, his body was used to create the world, and any subsequent solar era was based on this source.
Therefore, if you want to completely rewrite the rules of the Central and South American world, it seems natural to kill the water monster Hipparchus again.
But the problem is that although it is already the era when the Age of Gods has passed, the resurrected water monster Hipparchus, who is blessed by the world of Central and South America itself, has the strength of the former Age of Gods. After all, this is the ancient world's last struggle for itself, and it is full of mystery.
"Preparation? As the fifth sun that unites all the gods, this is a matter of course." Favia couldn't help but smile, "I can do what you can do, and I will do what you can't do."
"It sounds pretty impressive, but I don't know if it will work." Smoke Mirror paused, "But I like it very much."
The next moment, the blond man stood up, raised his head and looked at the sky with an unhappy look on his face. The sky of the underworld was the land of Central and South America.
"Compared to the Moon Lake, that thing still makes me more angry. I didn't tell it why I was summoned by it, and now it wants my sister to compromise. I am very, very upset."
Without any cover, under the power of the Thunder Serpent, the furious lightning gathered into a beam in the thick fog. The power of the First Sun traveled in the underworld of Mictlan, setting off a wave of nothingness, instantly penetrating the thick fog shrouding the underworld, and gathering on the leopard mask on Favia's chest, turning it into an obsidian shape that was strong enough to illuminate the sun.
"Speaking of which, can you pull it into Mictlan?"
"No, I can't do that with my current strength. I can only rely on you to drive it into Mictlan."
"I understand."
After all, fighting the water monster Hippocrates in the water city of Tenochtitlan might result in unnecessary casualties.
Therefore, Favia hopes to place the battle in the underworld, Mictlan.
"Go ahead, Fifth Sun. I recognize you as the First Sun." Smoke Mirror stretched out his hand, and the lightning around him dissipated. "Kill Hipparchus for me, and avenge me. I've always remembered that guy bit off my leg."
“Is this a pleasant surprise?”
Putting on the half-cut leopard mask, Favia smiled dumbly, because now his hair was still blond like before.
"As a warrior I recognize, everything for you is not over yet. The longer it goes on, the harder it will be. As the saying goes, the night is never too late. If you want to see the dawn, you need to put in some effort. That's it."
"Thanks."
Favia slowly stepped back, turned around, and walked towards the thick fog outside the campfire. With lightning emanating from his body, he returned to the great temple on the ground.
As he left, not only the dark lightning representing the Thunder Snake appeared, but also the pure white light that rose from North America after the world on the island of Cuba, and the yellow-gray light that even Smoke Mirror himself was a little surprised.
"...I really didn't expect that."
The First Sun couldn't help but sigh, because this yellow-gray light represented Xipe Totec, the Lord of Flaying, the eldest brother of the Original Four.
From the name, we can know that this god has an attitude towards human sacrifice, and he is a god who adheres to this principle even more than the smoke and mirror.
But now perhaps the water monster that was defeated in the past has revived again, or maybe it is for some other reason. In short, the Skinning Lord, as the God of Rebirth, has made the same decision as the Smoke Mirror.
"This guy really created the fifth sun after the Age of Gods..."
In Mictlan, the underworld that can only be revealed by the First Sun, in addition to the light of God, countless souls of the past also rise up.
This is so dazzling even in the thick fog——
light.
After seeing all this, Yan Yanjing's mouth twitched in displeasure.
Now that things have come to this, there is only one thing that the First Sun should do and can do.
"Tsk, praise? This is clearly not something I should do. If that bird-head said it, he might cheer for joy... Damn it, I can't let other gods see this."
Then, the helpless voice of Smoky Mirror continued,
"There is no such thing as a timid mind."
"There is no will to bend."
“There is no voice that ignores suffering.”
“Born in a land far away and beyond.”
"You will destroy the resurrected evil in the eyes of all beings."
"You are 'the sun'."
"You are the Sun of the Many."
......
In the land of Central and South America shrouded in darkness, a rare darkness swept across the entire region, centered on Tenochtitlan.
It is comparable to a total solar eclipse, but if you look closely you can see that the sun is still in the sky, as if light just cannot penetrate this area.
Shrouded in darkness, Favia, who had returned from the underworld, stared quietly at the resurrected giant water monster without saying anything and did not attack it immediately. Finally, this made Hipparchus, who had been resurrected with great difficulty, furious.
"Are you looking down on me, human?" Hippolyte was in the darkness, as if he had merged with it. "How dare you be distracted in front of me!"
Favia, who had been silent, spoke softly upon hearing this.
"As I recall, Tezcatlipoca sacrificed a leg in order to lure you here."
"That bastard, when I catch them, I'm going to bite them to pieces one by one!"
The half-crocodile, half-fish Shipaktri, who was always hungry, roared.
It does have this strength. If Smoke Mirror had not lured it at the cost of one of its legs, the four original Aztecs might not have been able to successfully kill it and create the world with its corpse.
"Hippactri, if you want to fight me to the death, I can satisfy you, but before that, I have a question -"
At a distance of only a solar calendar stone, Favia, with his arms folded, asked:
"You are clearly dead, and your body has become the foundation of this world. This is not the Age of Gods, so how could you be resurrected so thoroughly?"
In the world during the Age of Gods, resurrecting the dead was a common occurrence. However, after the Age of Gods declined and the world entered the age of humans, resurrection became a miracle that could only be performed by the one and only "God", and the resurrections in all major regions were all false.
Therefore, it stands to reason that even if this were a desperate struggle for the Latin American world, there would be no way to resurrect something that was already dead.
"Stupid question."
Hippactri sneered, but did not hide his purpose:
"Although I'm dead, my body was used by those guys to build the so-called world. To put it another way, I am the world itself."
Indeed, if the Central and South American world itself has a soul, then Hipactri, who is built on its body, can also be regarded as the incarnation of the Central and South American world. From this perspective, it is natural that when the Central and South American world was refused sacrifice by Favia, it was natural for it to spend all its remaining mysteries to revive Hipactri.
Then, Hippolyte continued, "That's why this world has rules for human sacrifice."
When he said this, Favia seemed to see a sneer on the face of the huge half-crocodile, half-fish creature.
At this moment, he understood.
"I see, all this is just because you are hungry."
The water monster Hipparchus is always in a state of hunger, and it is for this reason that the rules of operation of the Central and South American world require continuous human sacrifice, as this is a tribute to the "land", that is, Hipparchus.
I'm afraid that even the four original gods who joined hands to kill the water monster did not expect this to happen.
Hipparchus' body is the foundation of all solar eras, and the 'hunger' engraved on his soul causes the lands of Central and South America to fall into the same situation. Therefore, the Central and South American world makes human sacrifice a rule to maintain the world. In other words, it is actually feeding Hipparchus himself.
"Hahahaha, that's right, that's right." Mipaktari laughed. "The taste of countless souls can be obtained without even fighting. Although I can't move, they can only give me this power. I believe that one day, I will revive again and completely decompose and devour this world!"
"Is that so? So this cruel world was built on the wrong path from the very beginning, so it is difficult to correct it..."
Favia sighed and said, "But the Age of Gods has ended. You will no longer have the chance to secretly revive yourself."
After a brief pause, he continued:
"But when the world faced a crisis that I could not rewrite, it chose you as the optimal solution.
Because generally speaking, if human sacrifice is cancelled, all the people living here will die, no matter what means are used, whether it is God, massacre, disaster, or outsiders, as long as all the indigenous people living here are killed, the system can continue to operate.
But I have abolished human sacrifice, and I will not let the people here fall into destruction. Therefore, this world is in a compromise situation, and I have rejected it. This is why I will revive you at all costs to continue the old traditions. "
"So, I have to thank you." Mipaktri said with a smile, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to recover with the concept of accommodating this world, and my body would continue to be trampled on by inferior humans as land. Thank you so much."
"is it?"
When Favia heard Mipactry's words, she smiled.
"In that case, I am here to destroy you and create a new world."
"How arrogant!"
Mipaktri, who had merged into the darkness, stretched out his head and aimed at Favia, who was so tiny to him below.
Endless magic power gathered and collided with each other in Mipaktree's mouth, where every joint had a mouth, and turned into violent thunder. Countless tiny magic powers collided in it, causing a roar and forming the prototype of a huge destructive attack.
That was the moment the water monster revived. The huge body that had already encompassed the entire Central and South American world was continuously drawing the remaining magic power belonging to this ancient world, covering everything. Or to put it another way, everyone was now in Mipaktri's body, so the sunlight could not shine in.
But it was also the lightning that appeared with the help of its attack that illuminated the world in darkness for a moment, allowing the people who could no longer move to see clearly that Favia in front of the Sun Calendar Stone was fighting the most terrifying evil thing recorded in the myths of the past.
In the hazy illusion, the huge Mipactree swallowed up everything.
“Human——!!!!”
On the dark solar calendar stone, Mipaktri roared angrily: "What did you do? What on earth did you do?!"
"It seems that although you are the foundation of this land, you are not the source of all the creatures that live here."
The moment Favia finished speaking, in the dark world, countless plants in it began to rebel silently. The gods of Central and South America had returned to the dense forests since the Age of Gods and returned the world to mankind, so this also represented the counterattack of the remaining power of the Aztec gods.
"enough!"
In the darkness, Mipaktri vomited blood and raised his eyes in anger.
Although this attack was not fatal to it, it still felt extremely humiliated.
"I want to kill first-"
When the giant water monster roared again, it sensed something unusual.
Favia, who was attacked by it with countless concentrated magic power, quickly came under it with the resistance of his hands.
How can it be?
The moment Mipaktri realized this——
An unprecedented shock pierced its abdomen.
"!!!"
Favia's left fist, shining like a branding iron, pierced into the belly of the water monster hidden in the darkness.
With the blessing of the authority of the Flayed Lord and the Smoke Mirror, just one blow was like a burning weapon hitting the body at super high speed. The huge impact penetrated the body and completely shattered everything inside. Not only that, the high heat also burned the skin, as if it was going to burn it directly.
Just one punch was enough to deprive the huge Mipactree of consciousness for one second.
Theoretically, such pain would not cause him to become dazed, but instead would cause him to burst into extreme rage. However, in reality, the reason for his dazed state was that Mipaktri now remembered the scene in which he was killed by the Four Original Sons.
You will feel a piercing sensation that is enough to cut through bones and flesh, and then blood redder than magma will gush out, boiling and hot, as if it can burn everything directly.
Mipactry may have been motivated by arrogant recollections, but for Favia it was the right timing.
In that second, Favia did not continue to punch, but kicked the water monster's body hard, and in a blink of an eye he was on Mipaktri's head.
He stopped there, took a deep breath, and then jumped again—
A hint of blue light slowly appeared on the man's body, or more precisely, on his left leg.
All the people who were unable to move were suddenly in an uproar. This was not surprising, because Favia's performance at this moment felt like he would be like the First Sun in the past, sacrificing his left leg for a chance to win.
But in reality, what Favia wanted was not sacrifice, but revenge for Smoky Mirror.
Use your left leg to kick the water monster Mipactri into the underworld.
Then, using all the strength in my body, as well as the strength I gained from different places in the world of Central and South America, using everything I have now here -
There is no need to consider the consequences at all.
Now it’s just a matter of moving forward.
Keep going until you have exhausted everything.
"I have come to destroy you utterly, Mipactree."
At that moment, the man's left foot fell from the sky.
Towards the top of Mipaktri's head which was so close.
Infinite power was placed on this one blow, forcing him to enter the land of death without resistance.
The thick fog of the underworld underground was blown away.
Everything on earth returned to normal.
