Meanwhile, Pendragon and his companions had already cut the watermelon in the kitchen. After sensing the powerful magical fluctuations, they quickly drew a circle with their hands.
A surge of spatial energy enveloped the three of them, and in the blink of an eye, they appeared on the beach.
Pendragon immediately erected a barrier, completely blocking out external forces and sights, and then moved a table full of snacks over.
Compared to those who are fighting desperately for the survival of the world, their group seems rather leisurely.

Kanzaki Mizuki and "God's Power" faced each other at a distance of about ten meters.
But for a Christian, this behavior can only be described as foolish. This doesn't mean Kanzaki is too weak or the archangel is too strong; it's not a question of who is stronger or weaker, but rather a more fundamental and simple contradiction.
Generally speaking, all religions in the history of human culture share a common principle.
That is, man cannot disobey God's will.
If it were pagans who believed in a different "god," that would be one thing, but Christians would not rebel against the angels of Christ. A little thought reveals that this is a matter of course.
In other words, since Shenzhe belongs to the church, it is absolutely impossible for him to have won "divine power".
If we use rock-paper-scissors as an analogy, the believers are like scissors, and the angels are like rock; it's obvious who wins and who loses.
Therefore, Kanzaki's actions were quite ridiculous.
But the angelic boy didn't say a word. He didn't even show a pitying smile.
The "divine power" lifted one of the hydrofoils on its back high. Although there was a ten-meter distance between them, it had no effect on the seventy-meter-long hydrofoil; in fact, it might even find the distance too close.
The "water wings," filled with "angelic power" from root to tip, are any one of which could be a "divine punishment" capable of destroying a city.
Once struck, the beach will completely disappear, forming a bay shaped like a meteorite crater. It's as if a god from mythology is wielding supernatural powers to overturn mountains and seas and create rivers on the ground.
"Divine Power" did not hesitate for a moment.
Even though she knew what the consequences would be of inflicting such destructive power on a vulnerable human being.
The archangel in charge of blue waved down the seventy-meter-high "water wing" that had been held high in the air, without a moment's hesitation.
Such a view gives people the illusion that the tower has collapsed.
The torn air transformed into a raging storm, which eventually collapsed under the pressure of the hydrofoils.
The hydrofoil plummeted vertically toward the top of Kanzaki Mizuki's head at an astonishing speed.
everything is over.
Everything should be over now.
Swish!
With a sharp sound, the hydrofoil was sliced in two by a horizontal flash of light.
Who could have predicted such a scene?
"God's Power" was stunned, while Kanzaki responded by inhaling.
The nearly two-meter-long sword hanging at Kanzaki Mizuki's waist.
In the instant the blade was drawn, the massive 70-meter-long hydrofoil was easily severed like a bamboo tube.
Not only that, the severed hydrofoil fragments immediately turned into dust like an explosion and disappeared into the darkness of the night.
Kanzaki didn't say a word.
The blade of the long sword had been quietly sheathed in its black scabbard.
"God's Power" bangs swayed slightly.
Behind her bangs, her eyes, like glass beads, darted back and forth, seemingly searching for Kanzaki's weakness.
As if conducting an experiment, a hydrofoil flew up from behind the "divine power".
This time, the hydrofoil swept across the land, creating a violent gust of wind that seemed to flatten everything on the ground.
However, the same thing happened again.
cut!
With a single slash, Kanzaki Mizuki easily severed the fifty-meter-long water wing.
P.S.: There's only one update on the 1st, which doesn't affect my perfect attendance record, but I'll still make up for it. Also, Seele finally doesn't have to keep a little notebook anymore 233
Chapter 273 The Art of Killing Gods
Chapter 273
Moreover, Kanzaki's body did not even sway in the slightest due to the speed and weight of drawing the sword.
The knife was drawn in an instant, and in the next instant it had quietly returned to its sheath.
Ten meters away, Kanzaki Mizuori calmly stroked the hilt of her sword.
The angel stopped moving.
She seemed to be carefully revising her tactics to deal with the prey in front of her.
"On the contrary, I think..."
Kanzaki said provocatively, "You don't need to be surprised by this level of retaliation. It seems you underestimate Kanzaki Mizuki."
"Divine Power" did not answer. Instead, two water wings crossed from the left and right like pincers.
boom!
Two hydrofoils attacked Kanzaki with a thunderous roar.
However, Kanzaki flipped her body like a tornado and severed both of her water wings with a single slash.
"..."
Her bangs fluttered in the night breeze, and the eyes behind them darted around, as if confirming a fact.
It wasn't just one or two; a total of four hydrofoils have been severed. Clearly, this was not an isolated incident.
But this creates a contradiction: Christian believers shouldn't be able to resist the Christian angels.
In contrast, Kanzaki appeared relaxed and at ease.
"Your mistake in treating me as a mere Christian is the beginning of a mistake."
Kanzaki confidently explained his trump card: "My technique belongs to the Amakusa-style Cross-Symphony. It is a unique Japanese Christian system created by the Kirishita (believers) who were suppressed during the Edo period in order to uphold their faith."
In that harsh era when simply possessing a cross or an image of the Virgin Mary could lead to execution, believers had no choice but to use Shinto wooden plaques as "crosses" and Buddhist statues as "images of the Virgin Mary."
However, the Amakusa-style Cross Religion, which used Shinto and Buddhism as a cover, gradually began to merge with other religions without anyone realizing it. Eventually, it became impossible to distinguish which part belonged to Shinto or Buddhism and which part belonged to Christianity, thus forming a unique and innovative religion.
Amakusa-style Cross Religion is a multi-faceted, fusion-type religious system.
in other words--
Since Christian magic cannot defeat angels, then we should not use Christian magic, but instead use the magic of "non-angelic religions" such as Buddhism or Taoism to attack angels.
If the Christian method cannot achieve something, then the Buddhist method will be used instead.
When Buddhist methods fail to achieve something, they resort to Shinto methods.
If Shinto magic can't do something, then Christian magic is used instead.
The weaknesses of various religious models can be compensated for by other types of techniques, as exemplified by the Amakusa style. Therefore, the fundamental premise that "Crusaders" cannot defeat "angels" does not apply to Kanzaki.
The "Divine Power" seemed to freeze in his vision. Three water wings simultaneously unleashed from the left, right, and overhead.
However, the water wings were still easily severed by Kanzaki amidst the flash of the blade.
"Furthermore, Japanese Shinto is a polytheistic religion with a considerable number of 'gods.' It believes that everything in the world has a god attached to it, and that any worthless object can become a 'object' of a god over a long period of time. There are also dog gods, monkey gods, snake gods, and so on, which are created arbitrarily by humans to guard the house. Perhaps among all religions, Japanese Shinto is the one with the most gods?"
Kanzaki deliberately stroked the long sword at her waist.
"Therefore, it might be hard for monotheistic angels to imagine that polytheistic Japanese Shinto even has techniques for communication between humans and gods, techniques specifically used by humans to confront the gods. Many Japanese myths describe stories of 'killing a mad god or a demon demanding a little girl as a sacrifice with an ordinary sword.' There is a taboo in Japanese Shinto: 'You cannot harm the gods.' Think about it, why is there such a rule?"
Kanzaki Mizuki said in a relaxed manner.
She was declaring to the angels that this battle would not be one-sided.
"..."
The "power of God" silently watched the "enemy".
By absorbing fresh seawater, the severed hydrofoils gradually regain their original shape and size.
But Kanzaki, on the other hand, didn't need any preparation. She only needed to gently stroke the hilt of the Seven Swords of the Seven Days hanging at her waist with her fingers.
By refining magical power within the body using a unique breathing technique, one can transform oneself into a "God Splitter".
A silence.
After a silence that is imperceptible to most people, lasting only a tenth of a second—
The "Power of God" and the "God Splitter" began a life-or-death battle.
boom!
A roar of anger rang out.
The archangel's fifty-meter-long water wing, which swung down from above, was severed by Kanzaki, who was ten meters away.
But the "power of the gods" paid no heed.
No matter how many hydrofoils are severed, they can be repaired. This time, the hydrofoils were swung horizontally from the left, attempting to attack while Kanzaki was still sheathing her sword and her body had not yet regained its balance.
After Kanzaki severed that attack, the next strike aimed at Kanzaki's back from the right.
There was a ten-meter distance between "Divine Power" and Kanzaki. The angel seemed to want to maintain this distance, continuously attacking Kanzaki with its water wings in turn, preventing Kanzaki from getting close.
Kanzaki flipped her entire body, turning back to sever the water wing attacking her from behind in one swift motion. Seizing this fleeting moment, the messenger of the gods' three water wings struck down from the air in succession with a slight time difference.
Although there is a time difference, the gap is measured in hundredths of a second. This speed, which has entered the realm of gods, is something that ordinary people cannot perceive at all.
It takes 0.18 seconds for the human body to transmit a command from the brain to the fingertips, but Kanzaki, who has transformed into a "God of Rift," can gain abilities beyond the realm of mortals for a certain period of time, so this common sense does not apply.
Blood vessels, muscles, nerves, internal organs, and bones all gained the ability to "kill gods" under the influence of the technique.
cut!
The first of the three water wings was severed by Kanzaki's sword-drawing technique.
Before the next "hundredth of a second" arrived, Kanzaki had already sheathed the Seven Days Seven Swords she had drawn, ready to face the next wave of attacks.
Too easy. Kanzaki smiled for a fraction of a second. But just then—
The second hydrofoil exploded on its own!
Thousands of "blades," resembling tiny shards of glass, shot towards Kanzaki.
"what?!"
Just as Kanzaki was trying to deal with the "rain of blades" in front of her, the third hydrofoil came down at a speed that surpassed the "rain of blades".
"Well!"
She barely managed to sever the unexpected third water wing, but Kanzaki didn't have time to sheathe her sword.
P.S.: This morning when I went to water the plants on the balcony, I noticed that the catnip and scallions had started to sprout!

Chapter 274
She barely managed to sever the unexpected third water wing, but Kanzaki didn't have time to sheathe her sword.
If she sheathed her sword, she wouldn't be able to deal with the rain of crystal blades chasing after Kanzaki. Kanzaki was forced to abandon her "Iaijutsu" and use her drawn longsword to meet the barrage of crystal blades falling from the sky.
However, it is simply impossible to destroy all the thousands of blades with a single longsword.
Seventeen blades were left behind on the beach around Kanzaki... Although being able to destroy all the other blades was already an unimaginable divine skill.
An explosion, like a shockwave, resounded and shattered the surrounding sand.
Like a desert storm, the view was completely blocked by sand walls.
At this moment, the hydrofoils attacked from the left, right, and right front, tearing the sand wall apart like thin paper.
