Hearing Azril's question, the other Flügel also stopped whispering and looked at Ryuga together.
Artosh had them temporarily follow Ryuga until the day of their decisive battle.
For the Flügel, this was an unprecedented mission.
Since it was the main god's order, they had no right to refuse. Plus, Ryuga's demonstrated strength indeed qualified him as a temporary master, and his behavior style was quite to their taste, so they naturally weren't too resistant.
In that previous battle, all Flügel had gained god-slaying achievements together - just this point alone was enough to make them happy.
But what no one could have expected was that what was supposed to be just a business trip, they were directly abducted to another world by Ryuga.
This world had no way to contact War God Artosh. If Ryuga had no intention of having a decisive battle with the war god, they might have to become Ryuga's subordinates for life.
Regarding this point, the Flügel felt deeply worr... well, the chattering girls actually weren't too worried.
After all, they were long-lived species, approaching immortality within predictable time units. Just following Ryuga for a few hundred or thousand years wasn't that long a time for them.
At least now, rather than worry, they were more curious.
In this peculiar otherworld, what did they need to do?
"Your mission is very simple."
Ryuga surveyed the surroundings. Beside him, Schwi detected his intention and immediately projected the divine realm map just scanned by the Ex-Machina into mid-air.
Norse Divine Realm, Persian Divine Realm, Celtic Divine Realm...
Each mythology had very clear territorial divisions. However, these boundaries weren't impassable - it's just that very few people crossed them.
Looking at the various divine realms marked before him, Ryuga glanced at the Flügel girls.
"This is the Divine Realm. Each divine realm block houses an entire pantheon, including over a hundred gods, as well as at least tens of thousands of divine beasts, phantasmal species, and subordinate god armies."
"Your mission is to start from here and completely crush all god species along the way!"
After a spiral circuit, Ryuga encompassed the entire divine realm.
Hearing this, except for the informed Jibril, the other Flügel all showed incredulous expressions.
Azril was directly stunned, and after several dozen seconds, dared to tremblingly point at herself.
"Us? Pantheons?"
She now felt quite like a carp spirit being assigned to kill the Tang Monk and his disciples.
"Yes."
Ryuga's attitude dispelled her hopes.
But she still didn't want to accept reality.
"Ryuga-sama... aren't you mistaken about something? The god species Okan from before could only be defeated with little Jibril's help. Now you're asking us to deal with pantheons - isn't this a bit too exaggerated?"
If she didn't know Ryuga to some extent, she would almost suspect he wanted to use this opportunity to eliminate all Flügel.
Otherwise, how could he say such nonsense?
Judging by the silver-haired goddess Athena's strength they saw earlier, god species in this world were still undisputed overlords.
With their current Flügel lineup, without Jibril's [God Strike] assistance, dealing with even one god species would be difficult, let alone dealing with entire pantheons.
Not to mention, according to Ryuga's intelligence, there were also massive armies of phantasmal species and divine beasts.
In Azril's understanding, phantasmal species were only slightly weaker than god species, stronger than ordinary giant species, and the strong among them were no weaker than god species.
Such beings, assembled into armies of at least tens of thousands - how could their mere thousand Flügel possibly handle it!
Flügel indeed weren't afraid of battle and didn't fear death.
But facing missions that were clearly suicidal, they found it hard to accept willingly.
Hearing this, Ryuga immediately understood the misunderstanding. These Flügel had all taken Athena as the average level of god species in this world.
No explanation needed. He just glanced at Jibril, and the young Flügel girl who had been secretly holding back laughter immediately understood Ryuga's meaning and burst out laughing.
"Pfft-hahaha, you don't need to worry! When has Master ever given impossible missions!"
Seeing Jibril's relaxed attitude, Azril asked in confusion.
"Why do you say that? Don't tell me that besides that power Master gave you, little Jibril, you have some other hidden trump card you haven't shown?"
If not, where would Jibril get the confidence to fight entire pantheons?
"Of course not!"
Jibril shook her head with amusement at Azril's ridiculous guess.
"You'll understand once you come execute the mission with me. Although the god species in this world have similar authorities and are quite dangerous, they're not the same as the god species from our side."
"With our current strength, sweeping through pantheons is just easy work!"
"Really?"
Azril was still skeptical.
For her, who had always lived in the No Game No Life world, divine power was unquestionable. She couldn't imagine god species being swept away like weeds.
"Of course it's true."
Jibril nodded confidently.
Having suffered losses, she understood the power of gods in the Campione world best.
Don't underestimate their divine power - if used properly, they could still threaten Flügel.
However, that was only the worst-case scenario of single combat. If advancing as a legion, their Flügel were invincible.
"Not to mention, we have these metal lumps with us too!"
Jibril looked at the over ten thousand Ex-Machina around them.
The upgraded Ex-Machina had become considerably stronger. Although they couldn't compare to her, they already possessed strength that could match ordinary Flügel.
In terms of teamwork, Ex-Machina were even superior to Flügel. With them there, even directly sweeping through entire divine realms would be effortless.
"Oh right!"
Azril finally relaxed.
At this time, Ryuga spoke.
"Ex-Machina can assist you in the early stages to blockade and crush pantheons, but their main task is analyzing primordial divine cores, so a squad needs to be left behind for recording and transcoding after crushing each divine realm."
He hadn't forgotten his purpose.
Crushing divine realms was just the means; obtaining all mythologies' primordial divine cores and mythologies was the goal.
"No problem, I guarantee mission completion!"
Jibril nodded. She had full confidence in the Flügel legion's strength. If Ex-Machina could watch from the side to prevent pantheons from escaping, then Ryuga's mission would be effortless.
"Good, then act now. Holou and Athena, you two assist from the side."
Ryuga immediately issued commands and rescued Athena, who was suffering under Holou's pestering.
Athena immediately cast an incredibly grateful look at Ryuga. Before Holou could react, she ran to Jibril's side, helping with support while also being responsible for directions.
The Divine Realm was so vast that without her as a guide, Jibril might not discover many secrets.
This lineup was sufficient. Ryuga didn't summon Artoria and Lancelot.
Such dominating and plundering behavior probably didn't align with their chivalric code.
Besides, Ryuga's targets for clearing included their Celtic pantheon.
Although they wouldn't hesitate if Ryuga requested it, otherworlders were more convenient for such matters.
"Depart, for Master. First target, Norse Divine Realm!"
Under Jibril's leadership, the entire Flügel legion and half the Ex-Machina legion all rushed toward new battlefields.
Ex-Machina were responsible for blockading divine realms, Athena for indicating directions, and Flügel for hunting and attacking.
Within minutes, crimson flames ignited atop the World Tree. Ragnarök began early, but what would cause the divine realm's destruction was no longer the wolf Fenrir, but legions of Flügel and Ex-Machina from another realm.
After personally taking action, Azril, who had gone all out, originally just wanted to probe, but unexpectedly killed Loki, who was trying to ambush her, with a single strike.
"Could it be? Am I actually super strong?"
Having achieved god-slaying for the third time and accomplished independent god-slaying for the first time, she was still somewhat dazed.
It wasn't until she saw Jibril's grass-cutting figure that she realized what Jibril's words meant.
"The god species of this world really don't seem that strong!"
After understanding this point, the Flügel went crazy and immediately rushed forward to rack up achievements.
Since even using [Heaven's Strike] would have their condition restored by Ryuga through temporary contracts, what was there to worry about?
Thus, in less than half an hour, the Norse Divine Realm was completely reduced to ashes.
Jibril raised the world-destroying demon sword Laevateinn, like a world-destroying demon king leading the Flügel legions in their next charge.
"Next target, Roman Divine Realm!"
"Ohhhhh!"
War flames instantly ignited another divine realm.
And in the already destroyed Norse Divine Realm, a thousand Ex-Machina who voluntarily remained behind began preserving and transcoding the astral body information from these gods' remains according to the formula Ryuga had provided.
At this time, Ryuga had already used the remaining six thousand Ex-Machina to master and record all primordial divine cores from the Greek Divine Realm into his astral body.
"As expected... the essence of primordial divine cores is packaged mythological fragments."
Feeling the power flowing within his body, Ryuga slightly extended his hand.
A golden river appeared from his palm. Above the river flowed many polyhedron shadows - information from primordial divine cores.
After successfully obtaining all primordial divine cores from the Greek pantheon, the mythological information within these primordial divine cores spontaneously arranged itself, condensing into mythology in Ryuga's palm.
The river of mythology gradually condensed in Ryuga's hands, finally forming the shadow of a book.
This golden book had "Greek" written on its title page, with thick pages divided into several chapters.
"Theogony," "Iliad," "Odyssey"... Just as Ryuga had expected, he was no longer a controller of Greek gods, but a controller of Greek mythology.
Now he alone could represent an entire Greek pantheon.
After successfully analyzing Greek Divine Realm's mythology, Ryuga didn't look at Norse mythology, which already had Ex-Machina handling it, but turned his gaze to the distant Biblical Divine Realm.
He still remembered that many primordial divine cores remained unabsorbed there.
So—
"Schwi, coordinate synchronization with me. Lead all Ex-Machina in transfer together."
After giving the order, Ryuga brought the Ex-Machina legion to Eden.
Before they could even land, countless angels swarmed over.
"Holy! Holy! Holy! Lord of Hosts, You have finally descended to this place!"
Looking down, Michael had already led all angels to welcome Ryuga, celebrating the Lord's return.
Faced with this situation, the experienced Ryuga directly recruited all angels and immediately began the next round of primordial divine core absorption with over six thousand Ex-Machina.
Whether submission or resistance, as long as they possessed primordial divine cores and were part of mythology, they couldn't hide from Ryuga's sweep.
Roaring war flames quickly ignited throughout the Divine Realm, and the number of primordial divine cores Ryuga mastered expanded again and again.
