Chapter 561 Unforeseen Development(1/2)
Poseidon, the sea god, was her old enemy.
At least according to Greek myths and legends, it should be like that.
However, it was not said that he hated the sea because the sea and the earth were also deeply related to the essence of her being taken, which was the origin of life. What she really hated was the sun, the shining light, and the dazzling throne belonging to the sky was the thing or source that really made her the queen of the night feel unhappy.
That's right. It's just unhappy, but it's not unbearable.
After all, the sun also has the fire of life, which is an absolutely indispensable element in the chain of life and death. So, accepting this light should be the obligation of the queen of the divine world?
wrong.
This idea is not appropriate, because it is different. Because she is not the real "Athena of the Unobedience" and has not truly recovered the status of the Supreme Goddess of the Trinity. The memory that barely remains in her empty memory is just the sigh of the mother, the shame of the queen, and the wisdom of the old woman.
And this remnant of glory, my father resisted the sun of Zeus, the king of the sky...
Forget it, those are all irrelevant things, because they will be fine right away.
As long as you retrieve the ancient "snake" Gorgon Stone, you will become the real Athena. As the goddess of fighting, Athena smiled slightly. The Gorgon Stone was not far away. It was a long time ago to meet the Godslayer. In the end, it had been hundreds of years since I met that guy, maybe thousands of years.
There is no doubt that this deprived of age, strength and status, became a god of incompetence like a young girl of fourteen or fifteen years old. He followed Kusanagi Kodo and the others into this strange space. However, Kusanagi Kodo was purely half-baked, while Erica was not strong enough to detect a god of incompetence who was determined to hide her whereabouts, so neither of them knew it.
It can be said that if Athena intentionally attacked, the two of them would probably end up dead and injured in an instant. The reason why such a thing has not happened yet is that Athena is not sure to force Kusanagi Gudo directly into a desperate situation. Once she only killed Erica, she would useless to her, and would completely anger the god-killer.
In this case, it would be better to keep a burden and drag the other party down.
Although she is a goddess of war, she is also a goddess of wisdom. She does not only know how to be reckless, but only have muscles left in her mind. Especially in this case, the ancient "snake" Gorgon stone that she has been pursuing is about to be obtained, so she will not give up her own advantages for those boring things.
However, in addition to the above reasons, there is another more important reason, which is the reason why she did not attack Kusanagi Gudo and others immediately. That is, the Otwa I encountered on the sea was too confusing to her. Even an ancient goddess like her never knew that there were such a terrifying non-divine creatures in this world.
The wrist foot of hundreds of kilometers long is strong enough to crush the giant wheel of ten thousand tons and sink the island. The huge body like a small island has been under a thousand meters of sea level. The terrible vitality can make it heal its body quickly and be difficult to be killed. Moreover, it has its own natural weapons such as fear aura, strong acidic body fluids, etc.
This is really true that even a dragon will be beaten and killed by a mutant monster like this.
After that, Kusanagi and the others entered the space, which surprised and feared her. For a moment, she felt in a daze that she had entered the secluded world, but then she found that although the nature of the space was similar, it was different in essence.
As the goddess's intuition, she might have accidentally entered the hunting ground of another extremely terrifying ancient god? She was certainly avoiding her carefully along the way, but both the gods and the god-killer almost met several times, which made Athena feel even more uneasy.
What are you planning to create such a huge momentum? Although the gods killers and the gods who do not follow each other are not profitable, they are not able to deceive a group of people by selling supermarkets and providing special prices.
If what happened here was really not attractive to them at all, they would definitely not be willing to come here, let alone the crowds of people now. This shows that there is indeed something here, and it is worth their risk to make a big fight for it.
But even if you don’t care about the theory of the relationship between capital and profit of mortals, Athena also knew that the greater the investment in the early stage, the greater the benefits they were seeking. If you look at this situation, you are afraid that if you are not careful, you will be sacrificed by a more terrifying existence as a consumable blood.
Anyway, she now thinks that maybe she would take the Gorgon Stone as soon as possible and leave, which is a better choice?! That's right, even if she gets the Gorgon Stone, she has to leave as soon as possible, because she has an intuition that even if she becomes the queen of the divine king of the Mediterranean again, she may not get any benefits in front of the ancient pagan god she had never met.
If you cannot grasp the essence of this space, or use your own powerful spiritual power to interfere with the laws of space operation, the default background in the world will always be dark and gloomy. The hazy sky, dark streets, shadow-like buildings, and even natural winds will not be born, and will always be dead.
Athena stood on the top floor of the church, staring at Kusanagi Godo and Erica from afar and fighting and retreating, approaching her direction, and immediately smiled slightly. Her appearance was a very beautiful girl, about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a childish and cute face like an angel, and her silver hair grew near her shoulders, melting into the brilliance of the moon, and her pupils were dark like night.
Next, just wait until they evacuate nearby, just take action?!
Kusanagi Gudo has many powers in cooling down. Although his own defense has not diminished, his combat effectiveness has indeed decreased significantly. Erica's situation has not improved. It is already very good not to faint on the spot. She is completely unqualified to be included in the ranks of effective combat effectiveness.
It can be said that after coming here and getting rid of the alien monsters, the combat power of these two people basically dropped below the average line, which was completely unfair. At that time, Athena appeared unexpectedly and snatched it. No matter how you look at it, both of them would never have the strength to fight back.
Thinking of this, it seemed as if the young girl's God of Incompatibility had sensed the limitations of this space again. As she expected, the constraints of the space were constantly weakening, and even without using any violent means, she could vaguely sense the space outside. It seemed that the maker of this space was set: once it was trapped in it, anyone could naturally escape by just about one day.
Of course, the premise is that you have not died in this space at that time. And it does not mean that you can be safe and sound after leaving. On the contrary, it is just that the inner world has established enough connection with you, so that you will be more likely to enter this space at any time in the future and will let you go.
Space imprint.
Perhaps many powerful people with keen senses have already noticed the connection they have established with this space, and there are many people who have the ability to directly cut off.
However, considering that most of the things to be done next are still in the inner world, they have not done this for the time being. I guess they will consider cutting off contact after the Holy Grail War is over?!
“…!!”
Just as he was thinking about this question, Athena suddenly felt a trembling in her heart for no reason.
She suddenly felt a sense of snooping from the sky, as if an invisible vast god stretched out his palm and held all this space in his hands to watch. Then she seemed to be attracted by what happened in this corner, and when she was observing with interest, she also noticed her own appearance.
God's intuition was almost exploded and warning her, causing her to feel thrilling and confusing. She only felt very dangerous. She absolutely could not fight against that terrifying existence. Even if she became the queen of the Trinity again, she would not be able to do so. However, this intuition could only allow her to estimate the enemy's terrible index more clearly, but she could not calmly consider the countermeasures.
How to think about it?! It has been noticed now!!
How is it possible?! How could there be such a terrible existence?!
Her heart beat violently and released a surging curse power. She didn't need to breathe, but she was still breathing quickly, and even her teeth were colliding with each other unconsciously. Athena had never tried so powerless. She just felt her head heavy, as if the blood in her body was not supplying her brain. In fact, she did not need this physiological function that imitated humans to supply herself.
She was almost fainting...
It seemed as if it had been a century so long that she subconsciously waved her hand and released the dark sky that enveloped half of the sky, as if the night in the world had arrived in just a moment. In such a pure and contoured darkness that could only be roughly determined by relying on its outline, she finally regained her normal thinking ability and action ability, and chose the most effective way to deal with such difficulties.
After the dark sky disappeared, she disappeared.
...
...
"Tsk, you're reacting fast enough..."
Pei Chen curled his lips and smiled a little reluctantly.
He just turned his attention to Kusanagi Gudo and others, and then noticed the existence of Athena who refused to follow him. But perhaps he was a little too unscrupulous and did not hide his spying behavior at all. As a result, he did not expect that the goddess's spiritual consciousness was so sharp that she could even catch up with Kikyo.
Almost immediately, Athena immediately noticed her spying and ran away directly. In Pei Chen's opinion, it was just that the computer screen suddenly turned black. When it lighted up, a file on the desktop disappeared. The only thing that can be determined is that it must be still in the computer and has not been deleted, but it just randomly reached the disk and folder that folder.
He knocked on the forehead, and the monster shrugged helplessly, then looked at Kikyo on the side.
Because of the folding of multiple layers of space and the connection of space boundaries, the world is too big, reaching a level that even the creator, cannot fully control the monitoring. In such a vast space, unless a special fluctuation attracts his attention, even he cannot accurately lock a person in it.
Well, it's not completely impossible to do it, but it takes a certain amount of time and consumes a lot of energy. Although neither is a problem for Pei Chen, he doesn't want to do such a troublesome job before it is necessary.
After thinking about it, Athena has been big anyway, so let's take this opportunity to change the stage setting and the next plot for the guys inside. Otherwise, they would have been so tepid and I don't know when they will be able to act seriously.
After all, there are only two groups of people now... there are still a little less!
Even the national football team must have enough eleven people. Although it is useless to just give them twenty people together. But the rules are rules and cannot be easily broken. Pei Chen personally set the rules: it does not have to be fourteen people, but it must be seven combinations, otherwise the ritual will not officially start the second stage.
...
...
"…Damn it! What the hell is this?!"
It has been a few days since I saw you, but it doesn't look so embarrassed. Instead, I put on a white research gown. The more scientist-like technical otakus is calmly waving the laser weapon more than three meters long in his hand, killing the alien monsters that occasionally approach him one by one.
In front of him was a man who was wielding the weapons such as Fang Tian Huaji at high speed to harvest the lives of the enemy. His fighting spirit was as natural as breathing and blood, just like a perfect combination of tanks and berserkers. The high-speed airflow driven by the long halves turned into a sharp vacuum slash, and monsters dozens of meters away could be broken through the slash line transformed into a slashing line!
Logically speaking, it is not impossible to have such teammates, even a wave of clearing the field. There are not many monsters here. They just blocked the entrances and exits of a certain nest, but the big man alone could almost kill the monsters that kept emerging without any effort.
Anyway, these things will evaporate themselves shortly after they are killed, and even pieces of flesh and blood will not be left behind.
But as the big man said, the close combat experience and skills of the Technician are too bad, and he also proposed to study these disgusting species here first. So isn't it worth taking part of the responsibility? The Technician said nothing about this, so the two of them were bored here to compete with each other to make a fuss.
But just now, although it was only a moment, the whole world became dark.
It is that kind of pure black, absolutely dark, without any trace of light.
Light, electricity and flames were extinguished and expelled. At that moment, the energy vacuum actually caused the lightsaber in the hands of the technician to directly malfunction. The higher the technology, the more precise it is, but it is relatively easier to damage, at least before reaching an extremely terrifying height.
Just like an ordinary sailboat can be repaired if the rudder is broken, it is definitely impossible to solve it as easily as the former. Just like the situation just now, it suddenly became a simple and rough and completely "powered out", and even the arc generator could not react and almost burned out.
The Technician was almost beaten and bitten by an alien monster. However, no matter how weak he was and he was on the wrong path of technology, he was still a real god after all. With just a wave of divine power impact, he directly destroyed all the enemies around him. The reason why he had worked hard in water before was just to hone his close skills, which did not mean that he had not mastered the mystery of the divine realm.
Then, in the next moment, the world will see light again.
"Phenomenon level mantra?"
The corners of his eyes twitched violently, and the big man waved hard and took back the weapon he had just swept out, then twisted his waist and stepped back, and slashed the Fang Tian Huaji held in both hands, slashing it down on his head, carrying the power of thunder.
With a loud bang, huge gullies tore through the ground and shocked space, and thousands of Cthulhu monsters on a straight line ahead were torn to pieces. Even the space fault was crushed by huge force, and then returned to normal when the void order was reorganized, completely blocking the way the monsters kept gushing out of the space behind it.
After completing all this, he turned his weapon back and inserted it into the earth, shaking out more than a dozen huge cracks on the ground, and stopped.
The dark scene just now seemed to be caused by the attributes of the gods themselves? Could it be that there is another top god who refuses to follow this space?!
Looking back on what happened in the past few days, looking at the "omen" marks on the back of his hand, the big man suddenly felt a little tooth pain. If the two of them did not decide who would become the master and who would become the servant as soon as possible, their first advantage would have completely disappeared.
"The duration was detected, for...uh, sorry, at that moment, all instruments were cut off from the energy supply, and there was no record of how long the energy vacuum state lasted... Wait, let me see the time records after restarting, and compare..."
The technician threw away the laser generator and pushed his glasses and said.
"Forget it, that kind of thing doesn't matter at all..." The man looked uninterested and waved his hand casually as if he was chasing flies. "How about you, how are you studying those Cthulhu monsters? In fact, I don't think there is any need to study it at all. The space has made it clear from the beginning that this is Cthulhu monster..."
"You are not good at thinking like this. Fortunately, you are not a scientific research person..." The technical mate sneered and muttered softly, "The wisdom of mortals."
"Although they are indeed all Cthulhu monsters, they are still different in some aspects. Why do they appear in this world? What mutations have happened?... Although due to their life characteristics, no samples have been found yet, I can be sure that they are all second-generation creatures that have been considered to have been modified..."
"Then what's the point? Have you studied this aspect before?" The big man looked disbelieving.
"Oh, that's not. It's just that a comrade has been to a universe in the old mythological sequence and performed a main mission in that mission scenario... We suspect that he directly met an evil god at the time, at least the level of the old dominator. His reason was basically destroyed. After he came back, he almost couldn't rescue him... But some of the information he brought back was indeed more precious." The technician said lightly.
"Forget it, I don't understand this, and I don't have any research, but I'm not interested in this matter. Since these Cthulhu monsters have appeared inexplicably in this world, it must be undoubtedly brought by the Apostles of Time and Space, and only appear in this space... So what else can I say?"
"Don't think so simple, I know what you said!" The young man smiled bitterly, "But the question now is not who created these monsters, but what does these monsters represent behind them... You shouldn't know, I have never known that the Holy Grail War will be too deeply connected with these things. To be honest, I have begun to doubt the true purpose of this Holy Grail ceremony."
"..." Now, the big man finally couldn't help but change his expression slightly.
Both of them fell silent at the same time. After a while, the technical lord spoke first and broke the silence again: "Anyway, just know. We have neither evidence nor strength to investigate, so... be careful in the next action. Although even if you fail at most, you will lose some of your divine power, who knows what the real result will be like then?"
As if to ease such a dull atmosphere, he said in a joke: "I have experienced so many storms and waves. If someone accidentally leaves it here, it will be funny. Even if there are resurrection props, we are at least a consul reserve... Ahem, to be honest, we have never been single, and we have never had girlfriends. Lao Wang, don't you want to leave the world with such a shame as a virgin, right?"
It was just a joke, but the more I talked about it, the more I felt something was wrong. After thinking about it, I smacked my lips. The technical mate was really sad and sad. A beam of light hit him, and the space around him instantly became darker. This was completely the style of a life-defeating dog!
To be continued...
