Gamer System in Campione - Chapter 39

"You are unlike the Hero Achilles who was bathed in the River Styx to obtain his Invulnerability. Your Absolute defense comes from your first job, killing the legendary Lion of Nemea, son of the mighty Typhon, the monster that almost brought down Olympus, in front of his skin no weapon could hurt him, so you killed him with your bare hands and using the Lion's claws you skinned him and used his skin to become invulnerable, and it is this power that I seal" shouted Ozymandias as his power shot up.

Ozymandias' third eye fired an immense beam of energy at Hercules who tried to defend himself, but when it hit him an immense light illuminated the area.

When the light disappeared Hercules was revealed unharmed, but the skin of the [Lion of Nemea] that protected him was gone.

"I see, words of power that can seal someone's [Authority], a real boon" Hercules said smiling as he turned to Ozymandias, "But it only seems to work once"

Hercules' line had proven true when Ozymandias' third eye disappeared, having his power depleted and needing five minutes to recover.

"Then let's see how you handle this" said the Heretic God raising his hand.

"Hydra who spreads terror in all life, return to the land of the living. Spread your poison once more, rot your flesh, burn your lungs, kill everything that breathes. Separate my enemies and leave nothing but their rotting corpses!

Ozymandias' eyes widened when he saw all the water in the region accumulating in the form of a huge nine-headed dragon.

Poisonous energy emanated from the water dragon that roared into the entire region.

"Let's see how you handle the legendary Hydra" Hercules said smiling.

The materialization of Hercules' [Second Job], the legendary Hydra of Lerna, a monster with unparalleled regenerative power and a poisonous breath.

Ozymandias already knew about this [Authority] and the regenerative capacity of the legendary Hydra.

And faced with this Ozymandias decided to annihilate her at once.

Ozymandias summoned his Bow as a golden arrow manifested and was placed in his bow.6

"Pray, people. That you may escape Rudra's arrows. I pray to the god of the far lands who shoots to kill, please grant his mercy. By this arrow, all life will be extinguished! Fathers, mothers, old people, and babies. All must kneel before the god of killing!"

Summoning his [Authority] Ozymandias fired his golden arrow that carried the power of the Sun.

The arrow moved forward incinerating everything in its path like a pseudo Sun, seeing the power Hercules quickly moved away so as not to be caught by the attack as the Hydra moved towards the attack.

The Hydra and the arrow collided as a huge dome of pure solar flames engulfed it annihilating everything in front of it.

When the flames disappeared it was revealed that the Hydra had been totally annihilated with no chance of regeneration.

"You knew about the regenerative power of my Hydra and that is why you annihilated it beyond your power to heal" Hercules said smiling immensely, "So how are you going to deal with this?!"

"Great and mighty Hundred-headed Dragon, awaken here and now once more. Awaken among the Stars and unleash your mighty powers here on Earth. Bring devastation and destruction, and you unleash your power as the one closest to the Gods!" shouted Hercules.

The space around Hercules seemed to shatter as an immense being appeared, a gigantic dragon emerged from the earth, possessing an absurd hundred heads while the lower part of its body was made of mist.

It was the [Authority] that represented the [Eleventh Work] of Hercules, to steal the Hesperides' Apples, the sacred apples from the Queen of Olympus.

And the one who had been manifested was the being who was tasked with protecting the apples, the son of the mighty Typhon, the legendary Hundred-headed Dragon Ladon.

Ozymandias realized the power of the immense being that had manifested, if Ladon was left in the world he would surely annihilate the entire country and more.

So Ozymandias decided to kill him at once.

"Come to me, my mightiest spear, by my name as Lugh, the God of Sun and War manifest" chanted Ozymandias.

Understanding his hand a huge light covered Ozymandias and when it disappeared a large golden spear was revealed, near its tip it had four silver blades and its tip was a mixture of red and gold.

It was a weapon worthy of a God.

The most powerful spear of the Celtic God of Sun and Light, the father of the Shield of Ulster, the spear of the one who killed Balor the Evil God.

Brionac the Spear of the God Lugh.

"The spear of the heavens can show those who oppose me its power. Let not evil stand before me" sang Ozymandias.

The spear suddenly began to absorb at an abnormal rate Ozymandias' magical energy as it flashed in lightning, its five prongs beginning to spin like a drill capable of piercing the heavens.

And with a swing Ozymandias hurled it.

Although powerful, if the opponent was fast enough, like Hercules, it would be easy to dodge.

But the target was Ladon who was unable to move due to the influence of his own power.

When summoned Ladon could only stand below Draco's constellation and could not move.

So Brionac had a perfect target. The spear is not a weapon that creates a broad destructive shockwave or anything of a similar nature. But instead, it will break through anything in a linear path, piercing the target with enough force to obliterate it, only the stray beam affecting the nearby surroundings.

Ladon roared in fury trying to survive the attack, but when Brionac hit him the huge dragon was consumed by the power of the divine weapon and then disappeared.

Ozymandias sighed heavily as the strain of using so many [Authorities] hit him.

As he saw this the Heretic God smiled immensely.

"Impressive son of Pandora" roared Hercules in pure joy, "You sealed my Invulnerability, summoned your beast to fight my Boar, annihilated my Hydra with an arrow, survived my blows and with your spear killed Ladon, I have never been pressed like this before, not even in my mythos, simply splendid."

"Let's continue until death" Hercules shouted as he loaded an arrow in his bow.

"Arrow that pierces everything, makes your shields useless, smashes your walls, exposes your greatest weakness. Fly to kill!" Hercules shouted.

Ozymandias quickly summoned [Futsu-No-Mitama], even though he knew his sword would not withstand the next attack.

"Fires that are part of Creation, I am your Ruler and Champion, guarding your entrance until the End Times, where we will engulf the World. Fill my weapon with your flames and become the sword that can cut through everything! I am the Lord of Fire, for I am the Lord of Muspelheim!"

Ozymandias' arms began to change, they were covered in black after he was complete. But instead of flames, it was his skin that changed. The surface of his skin became rough and hard, much like the surface of a stone, and it became as black as night. It reached all the way to his elbows before stopping abruptly. The black surface cracked, creating several lines that glowed orange and looked like small plates of obsidian stacked side by side from elbow to wrist. His fingernails had turned charcoal black, making them a little easier to distinguish from the rest of his hand, which was the same color as the rest of his arm.
