Exorcist of the American Nightmares

It's strange to say.

This world's gods are somewhat similar to those of ancient Greek mythology, yet they are also different.

The difference lies in the fact that the gods of this world seem to have a concept of an ethical family.

You see, the gods of ancient Greek mythology did not hold such a notion, which led to...

Thinking of this, York clenched his fists. Although he was not yet fully familiar with this mythical world of gods, after weighing all the pros and cons, he only had one conclusion in his mind.

That is, accepting the power of Volibear was worthwhile.

Sensing something, York looked up towards the window.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

A hearty voice came first, followed by a scorching heatwave carrying a bare-chested man.

Bang!

He forcefully broke through the entire windowsill, emerging before York amidst fragments of shattered glass.

On the broken windowsill.

The man was tall and handsome, wearing a golden apron, his exposed muscles smooth and perfect, while a radiant sunlight shone from his head. Although he had lost the divine right and office of the sun, he himself was like a dazzling sun.

His eyes naturally revealed a gaze that looked down upon all creatures on earth, high above.

Thus, even though the man had intentionally controlled his power, the aura he emitted still caused the specially prepared room for him to start melting.

"Volibear, could you keep it low key?"

Seeing the man appear in such an unusual manner, York sighed.

Yes, this man was none other than the magma giant roaring underground.

He was also the divine body of Volibear, to put it simply, this was his human form after transformation.

Earlier, he had found this change peculiar, as the temperament between the two was vastly different, making it seem like he was seeing two different people. But to Volibear, it seemed rather strange, and he asked him:

"Isn't this expected?"

To Volibear, the physical form didn't matter; what was important was the emotional connection.

It must be said, these so-called gods of ancient Greek mythology, in a sense, are not much different from humans.

Perhaps sensing York's resignation, Volibear laughed and said, "My successor York, my siblings want to meet you."

Hearing this, York didn't show any emotional fluctuations but simply nodded.

Since he had agreed to the transaction and accepted the consequences, he naturally had to integrate into the group.

Plainly put, this was a test of his abilities and power.

At the very least, before leaving, it would be good to see the power of the Titans like Kronos.

If in the later War of the Gods, the Titans like Kronos win, as one of the most important participants, he would probably also gain related benefits.

-------------------------------------------------------

On the endless sea, the waves surged tumultuously, occasionally raising giant waves.

The color of the waves changed unpredictably under the sun, from emerald green to deep blue to dark black.

A flock of seabirds circled in the sky, flying over an isolated island.

Amid their cries, they watched the mountain-high waves violently crash against the rocks on the island, producing a deafening roar, yet they could not encroach upon the island.

On the island, a great hall made of rocks.

Inside stood two people, a man and a woman.

The man was tall and burly, with thick blue hair and beard, draped in a robe that resembled transparent gel.

The woman was extremely voluptuous, wearing a flowing blue robe, with a headdress made of coral and shells, her fair skin exuding a mysterious and enchanting beauty.

Seeing something, her delicate and beautiful face revealed an elegant smile and she softly said.

"Brother Oceanus, they have come."

The man named Oceanus slightly narrowed his eyes and hummed.

In their eyes, a fiery red sphere appeared on the horizon.

Hot and dangerous, the heat emanating from it made the sea surface boil.

Directly below the sphere was a path of boiling bubbles.

"Thetis, sister, test his mettle. I want to see if what Volibear said is true."

"Understood."

Thetis smiled in response, her slender and fair right hand raised.

Thetis, one of the twelve Titans, known as the goddess of the ocean, she controlled the sea.

Boom!

Under her command, the boundless ocean surface instantly became turbulent.

Boom!

Waves as tall as mountains, covering the entire sea area, surged high as if to touch the sky, while the sky instantly became covered with dark clouds, thunder and lightning intertwining.

"Coming on strong from the start, but it's no wonder that the humans of this world can only seek peace through sacrifices,

In the face of such power, human nuclear bombs do indeed seem insignificant..."

York glanced at Volibear, who appeared calm, and then looked at the giant wave filling his entire field

 of vision, carrying terrifying force as it rushed towards him, his expression also calm.

In fact, he could control the water elements of this giant wave, but thinking of the various divine powers in Greek mythology, York chose to use only the inherent powers of the sun god.

No matter what, it's always right to keep a low profile and hide your cards at the poker table.

With a thought, he did nothing more than let the fireball covering them suddenly enlarge, turning it into a real sun.

Intense light burst forth.

The tumultuous sea below, like covered by a layer of golden veil, almost instantly, the entire ocean was enveloped by the sun's light.

This sudden change also caused the boundless seawater to start boiling, turning into steam that filled the air, eventually forming a thick mist, rising like a dragon...

On the island, Oceanus and Thetis exchanged glances, then looked at the fireball that was piercing through the waves and approaching here.

"Volibear, brother, you were right, this new sun god indeed has some talent."

Thetis blinked her beautiful eyes, staring at the person next to brother Volibear inside the fireball, curiosity in her eyes.

According to brother Volibear, this new sun god seemed not to be from this world.

"Hmm." Oceanus hummed, watching the fireball that was piercing through wave after wave, approaching this place, his expression still calm.

As the eldest of the twelve Titans, Oceanus had a more stable character than his siblings.

Having heard about Volibear's situation, he inherently felt some displeasure, but this dissatisfaction disappeared completely when the other party was able to exert all the power of the sun.

In the previous War of the Gods, Volibear had been severely injured, managing to exert only about sixty percent of his power.

Now, sixty percent could be exchanged for full power; not to mention anything else, he would agree to Volibear's decision.

Because everything had to give way to the upcoming War of the Gods, the Titan family must reclaim their original position.

"Let's go."

Watching the fireball getting closer, Oceanus spoke.

"Let's meet our Titan family's new sun god."

"Alright." Thetis nodded.

As the fireball, riding the sky-high mist, gradually approached the island, both of them disappeared at the same time, appearing at the sea's edge.

"Ha ha ha! Brother, I brought him here!" Volibear's hearty laughter echoed through the heavens.

York's mouth twitched, dispelling the power, and landed with Volibear on the island's ground, then looked towards the two people coming towards him.

"These gods are really something, one more handsome and beautiful than the next."

York's gaze involuntarily moved past the man with blue hair and a beard, looking at the woman standing next to him.

As a man, the allure this woman displayed was indeed great, enough to evoke a very primal desire in him.

Thetis seemed to sense something, staring at this unfamiliar sun god, revealing an enchanting smile and nodding slightly.

Just now, she could see the flash of intense desire in the new sun god's eyes as he looked at her.

Seeing the woman nod, York suppressed his initial primal desire and also nodded slightly in greeting.

"I am Oceanus, the eldest of the Titan family."

Oceanus, ignoring Volibear's words, looked at the new sun god and introduced himself first.

The next second, the smiling Thetis picked up the conversation.

"I am Thetis, the youngest daughter of the Titan family."

Oceanus, the god of the great rivers, father of all rivers, in charge of the great oceans and purification.

Thetis, the goddess of the ocean.

"It seems that those giant waves were this woman's doing."

With this thought, York nodded and introduced himself: "York John."

Oceanus narrowed his eyes: "I have heard about the situation from Volibear,

Our Titan family agrees and recognizes your transaction with him."

Saying this, Oceanus, under Volibear's smiling gaze, reached out his hand towards York.

"Welcome to join us, sun god."

York looked at the hand Oceanus extended, his eyes reflecting understanding.

He knew what it meant because it represented that he had passed the test.

"Thank you."

York nodded and reached out to shake Oceanus's hand.

Just then, York's eyes flashed, and he suddenly heard the prompt for a random task.

[...]

[Condition met: Trigger random task, War of the Gods]

[Task requirement: Represent Volibear in battle and win]

[Task reward: +100 attribute points]

"Really like a pie falling from the sky." York grasped Oceanus's hand, his smile radiant.

And this smile also brought a satisfied expression to the faces of Oceanus and the others.

The meeting ended quickly.

Oceanus and the others watched as York left.

Before long

, York reappeared in the previous room, looking at the crack that appeared in the void, pondering.

After meeting Oceanus and the other Titan gods, he gained a deeper understanding of this world.

This world or this universe was created by Chaos, making him the creator of all divine races, meaning the divine races are actually a part of the entire universe—Mother Earth, the god of the sky, the god of the ocean, etc. So, if the divine races were to perish in a deadly battle, the entire universe would collapse back into chaos.

To prevent the mass death of the divine races and the destruction of the universe, Chaos established the rules of the War of the Gods.

Understanding this, York looked at the crack, but then thought of Chaos, the master of the universe. The more he understood, the more he felt as if he was being watched.

"Never mind."

York shook his head, stepping into the crack and disappearing.

As the crack closed behind York, in a boundless darkness, where there was no concept of tangible objects, a consciousness awoke, emitting a surprised emotion.

"Disappeared,

Can't be located?"

-------------------------------------------------------

All this, York did not understand; he was just walking through corridors of various forms, enduring different kinds of damage, looking at the virtual window in front of him, his brows furrowed.

"It went black."

Looking at the darkened divine powers, including the office of the sun god, York felt somewhat aggrieved.

Because after coming out from Chaos's universe, he couldn't use the powers of the sun god.

No matter how he sensed or acted, he felt completely empty.

This strange sensation reminded him of the clergy in the real world.

"So this is what it feels like..."

Connecting this point, York had some insights.

Obviously, his power as the sun god was bound to Chaos's universe, so once he left Chaos's universe, he couldn't use the power of the sun god.

This situation was similar to that of the clergy in the real world; they also lost all their power when they entered the crack.

"Truly, only the power that belongs to oneself is reliable; others' is ultimately others'." York shook his head, gaining a deeper understanding of this situation.

"Although there are some discrepancies, at least it's not a loss, whether I can use the power of the sun god or not. At least the task is completed, and it triggered the random task of the War of the Gods, which is a hundred attribute points task."

York's heart moved, and while strolling through the corridor, he dismissed the virtual window in front of him, looking towards the next virtual window.

After accepting the task of the War of the Gods, he now had the ability to enter Chaos's universe at will.

This meant that if he encountered an unbeatable enemy, he could choose to flee to Chaos's universe.

As for whether this enemy could find or enter Chaos's universe, that was beyond his consideration.

"Wait, if Chaos really exists..." York thought deeply, his thoughts growing deeper, and he unconsciously narrowed his eyes.

Just now, he suddenly remembered the Marvel Universe series he had seen in a previous life.

In the Marvel Universe, there is a group capable of creating universes.

"Suppose Chaos is the creator of Chaos's universe, then if I encounter an unbeatable enemy, can I lead disaster to the east and use others to achieve my ends?"

York thought it more and more feasible, reaching out to grab the neck of a bizarre monster that suddenly appeared and bit towards him, swiftly breaking its neck and tossing it into the corridor wall beside him, disappearing from sight.

"So, who created the real world and the decayed world I'm in?

God?"

York couldn't sense the situation outside the corridor, and he couldn't help but sigh.

The more he thought, the deeper he delved, the more York felt his insignificance, an uncomfortableness due to his insignificance.

Like a frog at the bottom of a well, thinking the sky it sees is all there is, only to jump out and discover the sky outside is many times larger than the one it saw.

Like initially thinking oneself to be a very high or the highest mountain, only to turn around and see a mountain even higher, so high that its true face cannot be seen...

"I need to become stronger."

York looked at the virtual window's hundred-plus available attribute points and muttered to himself.
