Chapter 28: Before the Story (2)

- Temple Athena -

Outside the martial arts arena, on the outskirts of the Dano Great Forest, Celis stood in a white-gold robe on a shallow stream that stretched out from the sacred lake of Avalon, and the glow of an ancient god was reflected in her golden eyes.

Athena, the goddess of wisdom with a spear and a shield of oaths, stood on a tree not far from the river and looked at her with the eyes of a clown.

"What, you've slept so long that you've forgotten about your master?"

Selise's eyes widened suddenly, and she replied in surprise, "It's you...... Her Highness Athena! ”

This happened after Athena had taken over Poseidon and before she reached the temple.

At that time, the King Continent was still in a quiet and peaceful state.

But it won't be long before this false peace is completely destroyed.

The Great Forest of Dano, a place of strange things in distant legends, where angels are said to have descended, gave birth to the old empire of Avalon, which prospered for thousands of years.

Poseidon put away his god form and was following Athena on the path leading to the sacred lake of Avalon, and Athena did not give any explanation as to why he was not allowed to open the seal and fly over.

Poseidon thought, probably because he was stepping on this land again and looking for a sense of reality.

- All the members of the Ark feel this way.

"Ahem, Your Highness Athena, I ......" As soon as Poseidon spoke, he was shocked by the killing intent emanating from Athena's body.

The next moment he was silenced, he understood that the killing intent was not for him, but for another person.

Across the clear stream with colored pebbles, Poseidon saw the blonde girl standing in the stream, Celis.

At the same time, Athena's cold voice sounded, "What, you have slept for too long and have forgotten your master?" ”

"Selise, I've seen Her Highness Athena." Celis knelt down in the water and saluted Athena respectfully.

And Poseidon, from the emotions transmitted to him by the water, read the horror of the maiden, and a hint of joy.

…… Joy? He was a little puzzled, but soon got an answer.

She sat down on a rock beside the stream and ordered, "Give me an explanation why you're here." ”

Celis didn't look up, she looked at her reflection in the water, and replied respectfully and calmly, "Your Highness Athena, the cognitive barrier from the place of origin is spreading around the world, Lord Nuwa is gathering all the members of the original ark to build the place of origin, if you don't want to return, you can also choose to cooperate." ”

Athena asked, "Cooperation?" Tell me more about it, though, your level is too low, so talk to me with someone of the same level. ”

Poseidon was shocked, but his expression was unwavering.

In this world, there are only seven creators at the same level as "Athena", and the current Athena is not a god, will the ark accept such a request?

Sure enough, the messenger who called himself Selyse said, "Unfortunately, Your Highness Athena, your lordships are dormant and unable to respond. ”

Athena frowned slightly, "Then it would have to be an administrator with Level 1 clearance to talk to me, not you." ”

"I'm sorry, Your Highness Athena, I'll get you in touch."

Time passed minute by minute, and after about a few minutes, when Athena finally couldn't sit still, Selyse looked up, and Poseidon saw that the golden eyes of the prosthetic body were gradually turning white, with a circle of blue lines.

Under "his" control, the voice belonging to the Doctor came out of Cyris's mouth: "J055 Sanctuary Sunset - Athena, you, what's the matter?" ”

"......" Athena was silent, she looked at Celis, as if she could see the man behind the strange face, the man who created the world with the seven creators, hidden behind the scenes.

What to say?

It seems that there is nothing to say.

Time flies, and three thousand years have passed since that westward migration.

What's more, she did not belong to the Ark in the past, but was a scepter used by the radicals who moved westward to consolidate the divine power of Olympus.

This scepter was also betrayed by its own followers and sealed for thousands of years.

It's sad to think about it.

However, when they were resurrected, they did not take revenge on their descendants, the first reason was that the power of miracles and miracles had been integrated into their bloodline, and if they wanted to reunite, they would have to kill thousands of people, which would be too troublesome.

The second reason is due to the miracles of the seals being activated everywhere, as well as the ancient covenants of the gods who are awakening......

The third reason is a hint of greed on her part, perhaps, the descendants of the twenty-two betrayers can use the power of miracles well, and will not use it to conquer the world or anything.

However, in order to avoid recalling the pain she suffered when she was sealed when she reached the place of the miraculous power, she decided to go to the Great Forest of Dano and enter the temple where she once received believers.

However, she did not expect that fate would make her meet Poseidon again on the shores of Lake Avon, and she knew that it was the so-called fate.

Obviously the sea has been avoided...... She thought that the twelve main gods of Olympus, since her, were being awakened by some kind of power.

And that power is called the will of the world.

So, she asked, "What is the purpose of our awakening?" ”

"Cyris" said, "β€”to end the tragic fate of civilization and save the ark." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a horse carrying his master over the stream and landed on the meadow on the bank opposite them, and the heroic young man with his sword shouted to them, "Three, please get out of here at once, for this place is about to become a battlefield." ”

Battlefield? Poseidon was startled and looked at Athena, who was lowering her eyes, and Celis had come to her senses, the great man who was far away had already given her back control.

Athena lifted her face, got up, and launched a sacred march against Seliz, who had lost her usefulness to her.

However, the young man's sword had stopped her and bounced her away.

"Please don't settle personal grievances here...... Alas, Selyse, how are you? Arthur was shocked, seeing that Celis did not speak, and looked at the female warrior with the gun, "Alas, you are a little familiar, I remember you are ......"

Before the words fell, golden wings suddenly appeared behind Athena, and the light in the golden pupils was abundant, and it was gradually covered by the brilliance behind her, and that kind of scorching brilliance made the surrounding flowers and trees dyed with a layer of scorching gold.

On a hill near the King's Canyon, Hirsch, who was holding a telescope to spy on the ancient sacrificial platform with the eye of heaven, suddenly turned her head and glanced in the direction of the Great Forest of Dano, as if she felt an incredible force being generated.

She suddenly remembered that she had to go to Haidu to get back the Dead Sea papers.

At the same time, Lanstrow, who had caught up from behind the forest, said to Arthur, "I remember that she was the most skilled warrior in the latest members of the Knights, but some time ago, she lost her trace in the woods behind the temple. ”

That forest...... Arthur looked at the warrior woman bathed in the primeval light and thought to himself, this is no longer human.
