Gwanu's appearance is that of a middle-aged man with a lush beard and hair, as solid as a lump of iron. He spoke calmly, "Curse Must Hit!"

"The divine artifacts I forge all possess the power of sure hit."

"I just glimpsed into your future."

"Mortal, you seem to have some cause and effect connection with the magic spear I forged. Did that spear end up in your hands eventually?"

Duncan took a deep breath.

In the next moment, he suddenly vanished on the spot, seemingly like a flicker, advancing directly to Gwanu's front, the Sword of Oath and Victory sliced down as a light shadow, clang, the earth cracked, and the terrifying force shattered the rocks underfoot inch by inch, even the mountain-like Gwanu was suppressed to one knee.

This is no ordinary mortal power!

Having entered the Holy Sanctuary Realm, Duncan's speed was too fast, almost impossible to capture with the naked eye, only fleeting afterimages could be seen.

The heavy warhammer stirred up a fierce wind!

Clang!

Duncan borrowed the force to leap, and when he reappeared, he was already over ten meters in the air, wielding the sacred sword with both hands to slash downward. The collision of terrifying brute force caused the ground beneath them to collapse suddenly, and the air waves were like shockwaves, pushing back others nearby.

Gwanu swung the iron hammer and unleashed a spinning strike from behind. Amidst a dreadful sonic boom, Duncan was beaten back, the earth trembled, and a fiery eruption of magma-like flames burst forth.

Clang!

Sparks shattered.

Duncan's figure flipped in mid-air, leveraging and defending. Upon landing, the area dozens of meters in front had already turned into a fiery furnace pit.

But at some point, a bone-deep wound appeared on Gwanu's right shoulder, and the ornate silver helmet and divine armor were shattered, the Sword of Oath and Victory had already cut through his armor.

To deal with this enemy, one can only block and parry, not dodge. His strength is somewhat overpowered.

A bit of a law-concept stance, countering agile evasion combat techniques.

Fortunately, Duncan's blocking and parrying ability is also nearing master-level; successfully dodging doesn't result in damage, but blocking and parrying still inflict some injuries due to the enemy's terrifying brute force.

For a while in battle, Crow Queen Triss can't join in. She can't dodge; completely unable to block and parry.

This Curse Must Hit is also quite restraining for mages.

"Can a mortal also possess such amazing combat skills?"

"This sword can actually cleave the divine armor forged by my brother?"

Gwanu's expression gradually showed a hint of anger as he took the cursed demon spear from his back, directly tearing off the armor he wore, revealing his chest. His pupils turned blood-red unbeknownst to when; he panted slightly like a beast restrained with rage, roaring, "I wanted to chat with you a bit longer, after all, most of the Danu deities have gone to the Otherworld. It's rather dull being the only one left here."

"But you are too uninteresting!"

Roar!

Gwanu roared to the sky, shredding the armor on his body, and the muscles that coiled like mountains erupted, blood-like patterns emerged; indigo totem tattoos covered his burly body, extending up his neck and spreading to his cheeks, like a primordial demon god half-human, half-beast.

In an instant, this divine spirit transformed into a manifestation as fierce as a beast!

This was His true nature.

Celtic beliefs exalt blood sacrifices and human offerings; even the Child of Light has slaughtered numerous mortals. The Picts offered divine spirits with blood sacrifices, and Gwanu had indulged in countless human rituals and live offerings.

"Now, this makes sense!"

Duncan finally spoke faintly, "Fighting me veiled under a divine statue shell is way too arrogant!"

From start to finish.

The appearance Gwanu revealed was merely an outer layer of divinity; it was now that He showed the true form of the blood-sacrificed ancient god.

This true form was like Odin's King of the Wild Hunt manifestation, symbolizing part of a deity's essence; the more blood-sacrifices and human offerings enjoyed, the more primordial and feral beast-like become one's display.

In this aspect, the ancient Greek and Roman gods did not show such beastly faces.

Avalon's Guardian Fairy, having enjoyed fewer blood sacrifices, transformed from the early primordial divine spirit into the current legendary fairy. Recently, she even acquired a touch of motherly grace and kindness, no longer as seductive and enchanting as at the beginning.

Divine spirits must adapt to the changes of the era, going along with mortal needs.

Avalon's rise was orchestrated personally by Duncan, even changing the basic Druid doctrines. Whatever mortals needed, they provided.

"Arrogance!!!"

Gwanu's burly body engulfed in blood energy that had seeped into His flesh from sacrifices, intertwining civilization with savagery, forming His divine appearance. He roared in frenzy, "Mortal!"

"Have the gods behind you appear!"

"If you wish to sever my sacrificial beliefs on earth, you alone aren't enough."

Duncan remained collected, speaking calmly: "That is precisely my intention."

Clang!

The Sword of Oath and Victory slashed through the fissure of the Otherworld with faith, accompanied by the sound of a desolate horn, three bird-winged golden helmeted Valkyries descended in a battle stance.

A summoning of Odin was impossible; with Duncan's current reputation, at most, he could call upon the Valkyries for assistance.

"Valkyries, huh?"

"Still not enough!"

Gwanu roared toward the sky, "I am the God of Craftsmanship! I am the God of Forging! I am the Wine God brewing the Elixir of Immortality!"

"Do you think you can slay gods with just you lot?"

Clang!

A dashing female silhouette pierced the sky, accompanied by a dazzling spear from above. Gwanu grunted immediately, a horrifying bloody cavity appearing on his chest.

——Suliss (God of Resurgence) (Minerva's face) (Athena's face) (Healing) (Health) (War) (Victory) (Craftsmanship) [Golden Skull Mark]!

The Elixir of Immortality flowed like blood.

Gwanu retreated half a step, brandishing one hammer and one spear, fiercely repelling the manifestation of the Suliss Goddess, looking up to drink boldly, laughing madly: "So it's you!"

"Hahaha!"

"Now it's interesting! Only such a powerful enemy qualifies to send me to the Otherworld!"

In Celtic mythology, deceased deities revive in the Otherworld. They are the children of Danu; but at that time, they will lose the foundational beliefs of the earthly world, unable to leave the Otherworld to enter reality.

Boom!

Endless blood energy boiled behind Gwanu; the divine power maintained by centuries of blood sacrifices erupted entirely. He seemed like a primordial ferocious divine spirit, wielding a hammer and soaring tens of meters, fiercely crashing down upon the manifestation of the Suliss Goddess.

Within Dimension Space.

Duncan's expression was solemn, speaking steadily: "Unlock Mythical Form!"

Crack!

As if breaking something, a dense aura of blood emerged from the number one human form, piercing through the shackles of the realities law.

"Holy Grail Blood Unlock!"

"Power of Gluttony Unlock!"

"Giant's Strength Unlock!"

"Dragon Bloodline Unlock!"

"Unflagging Intoxication, Great Frenzy Merge, Unyielding Frenzy Unlock!"

"Heart of Slaughter Unlock!... Intimidation, Gaze of Fear Transform into Death Gaze!... Celestial Destiny Epic Unlock!... Transformed into Celestial Destiny Power!..."

"Divine Protection Transformed into Divine Chosen."
