Gamer System in Campione - Chapter 38

It was the [Authority] that Ozymandias obtained from [Odin]; the [Knowledge of the Origin of the Runes] representing [Odin's] knowledge of the Runes.

The silver Rune glowed as it crumbled into a silver mercury-like liquid covered Ozymandias' arms and legs while further increasing his physical strength.

Ozymandias quickly raised his sword as the sky resounded and dozens of lightning bolts fell from the sky against Hercules.

Seeing this the [Heretic God] smiled immensely.

"No harm will come to me, for I endure that which rejects all weapons. No one can raise their swords and hope to win, for against me they will become useless. Golden skin that shines like the sun, let these fools know your true power!" shouted Hercules as the Lion skin around him glowed golden and surrounded his body.

The immense bolts of lightning fell from the sky shaking the earth as they had the Greek Hero as their target.

When the smoke raised by the attack disappeared the Greek Hero was revealed to be completely unharmed.

"Hahahaha, is that all God Slayer?!" shouted Hercules excitedly.

Ozymandias narrowed his eyes, with that, the [Authority] that Hercule had used was the [Lion of Nemeia] the one that represented his [First Job].

In this case it had two forms, in the first the Lion's skin fused to his body and made his body ivulnerable to attacks that require skin cuts or perforations of any form, such as sword and bullet attacks. However, these are attacks that do not require going through the skin to cause damage not prevented by this Authority, such as the shockwave from a bomb or colliding with something at high speed. In addition to granting immense physical strength.

The second form, on the other hand, is a purely defensive effect, robbing them of the increased power they would otherwise be granted. In return, their defensive properties will increase, blocking any attack despite its origin.

Ozymandias quickly prepared to advance, his sword flashing in lightning, but before he could strike Hercules appeared in front of him.

The Sun King's eyes widened as he saw the Heretic God appear at his side, in his hand was a powerful staff that he had used to knock out the mighty Boar of Erimanth in the past.

Using his legendary divine strength, Hercules struck his huge staff into Ozymandias' stomach, and Ozymandias' eyes widened at the impact.

With a roar like a lion, Hercules used his strength to hurl Ozymandias away.

The Sun King was sent flying as he crashed into an immense mountain that existed tens of miles away.

The mountain easily gave way to the immense impact generated by Ozymandias' shock.

As he gathered his strength the Sun King rolled off the rocks as he fell to his knees on the ground.

"Shit" grunted Ozymandias as blood came out of his mouth.

Although his [Invincible Skin] made him immune to any weapon attack it did not stop shockwaves, so Ozymandias only managed to nullify part of Hercules' attack.

But the God Slayer knew that if he didn't have his [Authority] active he would have died, or taken very serious damage.

Ozymandias knew that that attack came from another of Hercules' [Authority], which represented his work, the [Cattle of Geryon] which manifested itself in two forms, in the use of his staff which was an attack that allowed Hercules to always hit his attack before the enemy.

However the second form was really problematic.

"Arrow that pierces everything, render your shields useless, smash your walls, expose your greatest weakness. Fly to kill!"

Ozymandias' eyes widened when he heard Hercules summoning his [Authority] while holding his Bow.

Before Ozymandias could react, the arrow crossed the entire distance and the only thing the Sun King could do was slightly deflect its path as he tried to deflect.

Normally a mere arrow would be no problem for Ozymandias who had the [Invincible Skin], however this was not what occurred.

The moment Hercules' arrow hit Ozymandias it pierced through him as it pierced his shoulder.

That arrow was another version of the [Authority] of the [Cattle of Geryon] is an anti-defense lock that has the power to pierce any defense, even the [Invincible Skin] and the [Lion of Nemeia] would simply be pierced.

Grunting in pain, Ozymandias pulled the arrow from his shoulder as his healing factor like a Campione began to close the wound.

"Is that all you have God Slayer? I am disappointed that a son of Pandora is so weak" Hercules said as he sneered and moved closer.

Ozymandias narrowed his eyes, this had been the first time he was being kicked so one-sidedly, and he had to admit it wasn't exactly pleasant.

"So you want to see power do you? I'll show you then" Ozymandias said as his aura increased even more.

They were in Du'at, a different dimension, so Ozymandias didn't have to contain his more powerful [Authorities].

"By name, Erlang Shen, all truth will be revealed, all power will be annulled, before the Strongest Warrior in Heaven the Gods and Demons will be exterminated" announced Ozymandias.

In the middle of Ozymandias' forehead a third eye appeared, it glowed in a red energy.

It was the [Eye of Heaven] usurped from the Illustrious Sage, the legendary Chinese warrior who defeated hordes of Demons and Gods, who single-handedly captured the Monkey King Sun Wukong, revered as the Greatest Warrior in Heaven.

The nephew of the Jade Emperor himself, Erlang Shen.

It was the [Authority] that represented the legendary third eye of Erlang Shen, before it is impossible to lie to the bearer, with the power to suck energy.

With the power to erase entire mountains, destroy hordes of Demons and kill supposedly indestructible Gods.

And mainly to seal [Authorities].

Its main power worked similarly to the [Golden Sword] of the [Warrior] of Verethragna.

However unlike the weapon of the Persian God of Victory, it did not cut deity and turn the God into a mortal.

It could seal an [Authority], but only one.

Of course Ozymandias intended to seal the [Authority] of the [Twelve Labors] of Hercules, but because this [Authority] had several branches Ozymandias could only seal one of them for the time being.

And since this [Authority] had to wait five minutes to use again, Ozymandias intended to seal the most troublesome power of Hercules.

"You are Hercules, the most powerful Hero of Ancient Greece, son of the King of the Gods Zeus and a mortal, incupido of the legendary Twelve Labors" recited Ozymandias as his aura began to increase.

Hercules' eyes flashed in curiosity as his enemy began to speak of his origin, but soon danger permeated Hercules as he felt the power of Ozymandias' third eye increase.

Hercules in an instant attacked Ozymandias as he tried to kill the Campione before he completed his power.

However even with his divine speed, when Hercules' sword was one step away from hitting Ozymandias the Sun King disappeared.

The Greek demigod's eyes widened as he saw his blow hit the air.

Hercules' eyes quickly scanned the battlefield and he saw Ozymandias standing meters away from him.

The instant Ozymandias was to be hit he had activated an [Authority] that he had usurped from [Goddess of Vengeance Nemesis]; the [Good Luck Go With God].

According to myth, Nemesis escapes Zeus' romantic pursuits with his speed. This aspect of his legend is carried over to this [authority].

Each time Ozymandias tries to escape from his enemy, his body and mind will accelerate to genuine light speed. This is a power to decrease the time required to cross from point A to point B in one instance. This power dramatically increases Ozymandias' natural athleticism and jumping power. He can cross several miles with one leap or somersault off a skyscraper with the flexibility of a feline. Stun-defying physics, such as running vertically or slowing down time, can be done by manipulating his own personal time, breaking any law of physics.
