['Chat Group Talk']

<Items>

=================================================

It has been an hour of running towards the direction the compass was pointing. Meanwhile Akio had started to chat with the other members.

[Technology Specialist of Order: 'Wait so you really are a godslayer?']

[Campione of Order: 'Yup!']

[Marine of Order: 'Heretic gods huh....they are quite the threat to normal people.']

[Shinobi of Order: 'That's so cool! You must be very strong to kill a god.']

[Campione of Order: 'I'm decent!']

[Demon Slayer of Order: 'Too Humble. Killing a god is something I had never dreamed of being possible.']

[Campione of Order: 'With this Chat Group, you will one day.']

[Technology Specialist of Order: 'Boss you have my respect!']

Akio, looking at Tony Stark's message suddenly thought of something.

[Campione of Order: 'Tony. You had stated previously that you had an AI in your world.']

[Technology Specialist of Order: 'Indeed.']

[Campione of Order: 'Can you give me an AI alongside videos of all fighting/combat styles with and without weapons in your world?']

[Technology Specialist of Order: 'Ah! Boss this...']

[Campione of Order: 'Don't worry! I am someone who believes in Equivalent Exchange. How about this You get me what I want and I will collect all the methods of creating Magic Weapons and Magic theory in my world and give it to you. Deal?]

Tony, who is an inventor, industrialist and businessman would definitely want to know the knowledge Akio is providing in exchange.

Afterall, if he can manage to make something akin to magic guns or defensive artifacts then not only would he gain more money but also further complete his purpose of creating Stark Industries in the first place.....protecting civilians.

And Akio can gain techniques that have been refined to perfection and are practical, while also gaining an AI with great technological capabilities.

[Technology Specialist of Order: 'Deal. It can be done boss but It will take a few days.']

[Campione of Order: 'Same here although it might take me more time. We will exchange when both of us are ready.]

[Marine of Order: 'Mister Akio. Can we also have a deal.]

[Campione of Order: 'Sure but let's discuss it later...I have a god to kill.']

[Technology Specialist of Order: 'Damn!']

[Shinobi of Order: 'Another? So cool big brother. One day, I too shall be that strong.]

[Campione of Order: 'Haha...I look forward to it.']

Akio smiled with joy. He sealed a deal with tony for knowledge and technology and will seal another deal later with Sengoku. On top of that he is about to kill a god as well. Happiness came to quickly but Akio is not complaining.

Akio quickly reached his destination and saw Themis, Lady Justice herself. His blood was boiling like a volcano and he knew why.

Campione's bodies react instinctively, filling themselves with power to prepare for battle when they encounter their natural enemies, gods.

"Well Well...If it isn't the runaway blind granny. This young man has come to send you on your 'way'."

"Rude Son of Fool! I will bring judgement upon you for your actions against the Divine."

"Judgement? You coffin-dodger, let me show you my judgement towards you."

Without waiting for a reply, Akio immediately sped towards Themis in an instant and punched her, pushing her afar.

This was accomplished not through pure physical strength and speed but rather strength and speed reinforced through magical energy enveloping him. This unrefined technique of using Magical Energy is called [Reinforcement] by Akio.

Themis regained balance and summoned her sword and scale. Before she could use her scale to judge, Akio ran towards her using [Reinforcement].

"Behold! The burning terror of the World's end! The flames that turn all existence into smoldering ash. Ragnarok!"

While running towards her he used [Ragnarok] to summon a blood-red flame, the mythical flames known for destroying the world, which he manipulated into a sword and tried to cut her arm, the arm with the scale.

Themis managed to dodge enough so that her arm was not cut but her hand was still cut off. Her cut off hand continued to burn moving upwards towards the body.

Themis' eyes shrunk and she used her arm with the sword to cut off her other arm, effectively stopping the flame from reaching her.

"Impossible...this?"

Themis looked at the still burning, cut-off arm in this belief. Akio smiled and once again manipulated the flame to form a fireball towards the distracted Themis.

Themis looked at the fireball with an unexpected look and seemingly teleported far from the fireball. Akio was slightly surprised but immediately used [Reinforcement] to run towards her.

"Speed Authority...huh."

Many Heretic gods have a Speed Authority so it was not surprising that a powerful goddess like Themis would also have one.

Akio and Themis clashed once again with their sword multiple times. Although it is true that Akio could end this quite quickly and efficiently using the full might of his Authorities but he did not do so.

This isn't because he was conceited but rather he wanted to drain the maximum benefits he could from Themis. Akio's [Will of Martial Arts] lets him understand, replicate and improve Martial Arts.

By continuously exchanging blows with her, Akio is replicating her combat style, understanding her combat style and slowly improving her combat style. With each strike, Akio becomes stronger, faster, sharper and more skilled.

He is essentially using a god as his whetstone.

"You dare toy with me, Son of Pandora. I am the goddess of Justice, Law and Order and I judge your punishment as death."

Akio knew Themis has now used her strongest Authority. If Themis' scales are used to judge weather someone is guilty of breaking the Divine Law then her sword will cut down all she considers evil.

And Campione, in the eyes of the Divine Laws is indeed guilty and evil. And thus, Akio also got serious and used his strongest move to win.

He focused his flames to the limit and assumed an avatar form in the shape of a Burning Giant while starting a mental countdown.

"Playtime is over, Themis."

"Not until I put you to justice, godkiller."

The avatar with a sword in his hands immediately slashed towards Themis. Themis and Akio's attacks clashed and stayed at a stand still for a few seconds.

Due to the clash, The surrounding terrain got completely destroyed with broken ground, burning surroundings and cracks that looked like sword slashes.

After 8 seconds the stand still was broken as Themis' sword broke and was immediately cut in half by the immense burning sword.

With a cut that shook the World, the goddess of justice, divine order, fairness, law, and custom, who is also associated with oracles and prophecies, including the Oracle of Delphi was slain by the Second Campione!
