🕑 Added 2021-11-14 03:02:24 +0000 UTCBefore the sight of Gawain the Knight saw a golden glow appear in the wounds of Ozymandias and heal them totally, as if he had never fought.
One of the Authorities that Ozymandias had obtained from Ra was the [Trinity of Heaven] which allowed him to summon the power of three of Ra's aspects depending on the time of day.
What Ozymandias had summoned was [Khephri] which could only be used in the morning and before noon, which granted Ozymandias unlimited regeneration and even revival.
Obviously this Authority could only be used in the morning, when noon and night came, this power would not be available.
"A healing Authority? You have gained many Authority, Demon King" said Gawain narrowing his eyes: "Yet another sword capable of surpassing my armor, what is the name of your sword?"
Ozymandias even knowing that he shouldn't reveal the name of his sword because it would reveal which God he had usurped, just smiled.
Raising his sword Ozymandias pointed it at Gawain.
"Futsu-no-Mitama" announced the Sun King as his sword flashed with lightning.
Gawain's eyes widened in surprise at hearing the sword's name.
"I see, so the God you usurped was the Far East God of Thunder and Swords, Takemikazuchi," said Gawain calmly.
Ozymandias didn't even try to object, the sword in his hand Futsu-no-Mitama was the legendary sword of the Sword God Takemikazuchi, used by the God to destroy demons and evil deities, with the power to destroy evil beings and cut anything for being bathed in lightning.
An Authority he acquired by killing the Heretic God Takemikazuchi when he traveled to Japan four years ago.
The two opponents, God and Godslayer faced each other before advancing against each other.
Futsu-no-Mitama slammed into Excalibur Galatine as the two entered a confrontation that would make everyone who saw it wonder if it really was possible for someone with such skill to exist.
Ozymandias and Gawain brandished their swords, each with a smile on their face.
Gawain struck with great skill. Every one of his strokes was that of a master, honed to the point that no one would doubt why he was one of the greatest knights of the Round Table, known across the country and across Europe.
But even in the face of the rain of attacks from someone of such caliber Ozymandias remained calm, his sword skill seemed to increase as they crossed blades.
Gawain's blows that hit Ozymandias and pierced his flesh were soon healed by the power of [Khephri].
Already the attacks that pierced the armor of Gawain seemed to stop in his skin that seemed to demonstrate a resistance much greater than the armor.
As they exchanged blows, the shock wave forced the two warriors to retreat.
Ozymandias only stared at Gawain with narrow eyes, Gawain's own skin seemed to be invulnerable.
Seeing this, Ozymandias' eyes widened as he realized something, that maybe the being in front of him wasn't just Gawain.
And to confirm this Ozymandias activated the [Divine Wisdom] one of the Authority which he obtained from Hecate.
A golden triangle appeared in each of Ozymandia's pupils as he looked at Gawain.
One of the Authorities obtained from Hecate, [Divine Wisdom] represented one of the aspects of Hecate who was the Goddess of Magic. Being the one who created the magic, it resulted in her having immense knowledge about the other gods and the mystical arts. Even if the magic used is something Hecate did not create herself, the magic itself would undoubtedly go back to one of the magics that she had created due to her being the source of magic.
It provides Ozymandias with all the knowledge of all gods and magic, as well as providing knowledge about the methods of how to counteract the magic used that would not be known to Ozymandias.
Visual or Audio of an Authority, a divine beast or an Artifact related to a certain god, is necessary for the Authority to provide the relevant knowledge, although Audio provides less information compared to Visual. Second-hand information obtained from other people's mouths or by reading related text is also able to initiate the Authority process by providing the relevant knowledge.
Using this, Ozymandias discovered Gawain's true identity.
"I see, that explains everything," said King Sun as Gawain looked on in surprise.
"Even if your armor grants You an invulnerability, it has limits and a god-level weapon like my sword can pierce your armor. But even so you don't get hurt regardless of the attack, and that's from another Authority of yours," said Ozymandias smiling.
Gawain's eyes widened in surprise.
"I see, so you were able to discover my identity, I commend you for that," said Gawain smiling.
"You really are a troubled God Gawain, or rather your true name…" said Ozymandias as he opened his eyes.
"Achilles"
The one who stood before Ozymandias was not only the Heretic God Gawain, but also had other aspects.
Although Heretic Gods manifested themselves in the form of their myths, there were Gods who were actually amalgamations, a union of several Gods throughout history.
Humanity often attributes a certain hero throughout history that brought them together, and often the myths themselves were distorted.
A good example of this was the Hero Perseus who was an amalgamation of several Gods, the Persians believed that Perseus was Mithras, the God of the Sun, furthermore he was also associated with Marduk, the Sumerian God who killed the Earth Mother Goddess Tiamat.
Thus they generated a new God who was a mixture of others.
There were other cases like Athena for example, she and Medusa were originally the same being, but when they descended to earth they were like separate Heretic Gods and so they came to see Medusa as an enemy of Athena, when in fact they were the same being.
Honestly this was very confusing even for Ozymandias, Gods who had different aspects and origins were very complicated to deal with.
In this case, Gawain's original identity goes back to Greece, where he was known as Achilles, a Hero of the Trojan War. He was so strong in combat that he was finally declared invulnerable to any damage, as long as he didn't hit his heel. He made his way to Ireland where he became known by another name.
Cú Chulainn, the Son of Lugh.
Being known as the son and reincarnation of Lugh he ended up disappearing much sooner than the Irish wanted, it was then that when he left for Britannia he became known as Gawain, a Knight of the Round Table.
So the true identity of the Heretic God Gawain was a mixture of Achilles, the Hero of the Trojan War, Cu Chulainn the Shield of Ulster and finally the Sun Knight of the Round Table.
So this invulnerability of his was his Time Authority like Achilles, which made his body invulnerable to any harm except his heel.
Furthermore it was likely that he also possessed the cursed spear Gae Bolg due to his time as Cu Chulainn.
And that had made everything more complicated for Ozymandias.
Due to Authority like Achilles, any attack against him was futile, taking on his heel, but Ozymandias doubted he could hit Gawain's heel.
Of course, if Ozymandias could use all of his Authorities that wouldn't be a problem.
