It is said that the fastest speed in the world is Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will arrive. And Athena is obviously not inferior to Cao Cao, Zhou Xiaoning just mentioned her, and she came.

After the previous two tricks, Athena's patience has dropped to a low point, so in order to prevent the Stone of Gorgon from losing from her hands again, as soon as she entered the territory of Japan, Athena activated her power, which was originally a sunny noon, was replaced by night in the blink of an eye.

It's just that this dark night is a little special, it has no stars and moons, not even a glimmer of light.

This is the majesty of Athena as the goddess of darkness, and wherever she passes, any light is swallowed up, even the sun.

"It's really a big deal, it seems that she is really forced to be in a hurry, and she does not hesitate to consume her mana and envelop the darkness over the whole of Japan, is this worried that I will run away?"

Zhou Xiaoning shook his head speechlessly, obviously he was very sincere in this transaction, could it be that he had no credit in Athena's heart.

"Ariana, go and inform the people of the Canonical Codification Committee, and say that it is the king's will, and let them do their best to maintain order. And tell them that the darkness won't last long. ”

Erica sighed weakly, and now she can only let Zhou Xiaoning do it, hoping that everything can really go as smoothly as Zhou Xiaoning planned.

"Okay, I'll go now,"

Ariana also knew that staying here would not help much, and that leaving was not the best option.

"Wait, take this."

Zhou Xiaoning condensed a golden fireball and threw it to Ariana, which was a brand new flame that he had condensed by integrating the power of the law of the sun with the power of the law of the fire system. Therefore, Zhou Xiaoning gave this golden flame a very attractive name, the sun is really hot.

The legendary Sun True Fire is a special flame that only the Golden Crow can master, and it is the ancestor of all fires, the origin of all fires, and the power of the world's strongest and most yang is nothing more than this. Zhou Xiaoning's golden flame is naturally still a little different from the real sun true fire, but with the perfection of the sun law, it may not be impossible to reproduce the mythical sun true fire, and now it is just a name applied in advance.

"Woo~ah......"

When Ariana saw Zhou Xiaoning throw a fireball that she knew was extraordinary at a glance, she panicked and couldn't help but get up. But soon, Ariana found that the golden fireball was like a small sun, not only did it not hurt her, but it made her feel very comfortable. What's more, in this pitch-black environment, without the slightest light, this small golden fireball can illuminate a radius of 100 meters, which is simply incredible.

Now, if Ariana didn't know Zhou Xiaoning's intentions, she would have been in the mysterious world for so long. You know, unlike Erica, she can use magic to condense her eyes to achieve the effect of seeing in the dark, as long as she leaves this room, getting lost in this environment is basically a sure thing, and there may even be danger.

Zhou Xiaoning was worried about this, so she deliberately condensed a ball of sun true fire and handed it to her, this thoughtfulness made her heart warm, she finally understood why Erica liked Zhou Xiaoning.

After saluting Zhou Xiaoning, Ariana hurriedly ran out.

Although Ariana has no magical powers, she is also half a mysterious person, and she has her own way of finding the people of the official history compilation committee, so there is no need for Zhou Xiaoning to worry.

"Alright, let's go meet the goddess who made such a big show."

Zhou Xiaoning stretched out his hand to Erica, who replied with a tiny hand, put his hand in Zhou Xiaoning's palm, and handed himself to him at the same time.

The space dragon pupil opened, and in the next second, Zhou Xiaoning appeared in front of Athena with Erica.

"Young man, I finally let me see you again, what about the 'snake' I wanted, did you bring it?"

Athena stood on the highest place, looking at Zhou Xiaoning condescendingly, with a look like she wanted to die as a god on top, looking down on the world.

"The stuff is here."

Zhou Xiaoning took out the Stone of Gorgon from the storage space, and deliberately shook it in front of Athena's eyes.

"However, I'm not used to talking to people with my head up, are you going to come down yourself, or are you going to let me go up?"

Since the moment she saw the Stone of Gorgon, Athena's eyes have not left again, this time Zhou Xiaoning really didn't fool her with a fake, it was her lost "snake".

Although she was unhappy in her heart, Athena still listened to Zhou Xiaoning's words and came down from a high place. Since she is still the size of a little Lori, it has become Zhou Xiaoning looking down on her.

"Now, give me back my snake."

Athena looked at Zhou Xiaoning directly, if Zhou Xiaoning showed any hesitation, she would make a move on Zhou Xiaoning, even if she was strong, she would snatch the Stone of Gorgon back.

"I can give you the Stone of Gorgon, but you should sign this contract first."

Zhou Xiaoning took out a mercenary contract and handed it to Athena, the content on it was to return the Stone of Gorgon, and as a price Athena needed to help him deal with Yuanlu Zhi, as long as Athena left her name on it, even if she was a god, she could not be violated. What's even more amazing is that this contract can also temporarily help Athena get rid of the mythical shackles of the world of god killers, so even in this life, it will not affect her strength because of mythological deviations.

"It's the first time I've seen such a strong contract. Boy, your origins are really not ordinary. ”

Athena looked at Zhou Xiaoning, as a god, she naturally knew more than ordinary people, and she didn't need Zhou Xiaoning to explain more at all, she understood the meaning of the mercenary contract.

Even so, Athena did not hesitate and signed her god's name very simply.

At the moment when the contract was established, a dark force fell on Zhou Xiaoning and Athena, making a connection between the two of them, no matter which party, as long as they violated the content of the contract, they would be punished most severely.

"The contract is established, this is the Stone of Gorgon, and now it is returned to its original owner."

Zhou Xiaoning nodded with satisfaction, and then handed the Stone of Gorgon to Athena.

"Ancient Serpent, you are finally back in my hands again."

Athena's mood at the moment can be described as extremely complicated, with nostalgia, emotion, and of course, more excitement.

"The concubine sings, the song of the ancient goddess who ruled the heavens and the earth and the darkness, the lament of the queen who was slain as the serpent of taboo, my name is Athena, the mother goddess of the earth who gave birth to all things, and the lord of the darkness! She is also the queen who knows the wisdom of the heavens! Athena swears to restore her ancient form. ”

Athena held the Stone of Gorgon in her hand and chanted the spirit of the words, and soon a sudden change occurred.

I saw an ominous dark light emanating from the Stone of Gorgon, enveloping Athena in it, and as the words progressed little by little, Athena's coercion also rose step by step, and in a moment of effort, it was promoted from the peak of the sixth order to the beginning of the seventh order, and this improvement continued, until the end, staying at the level of the late seventh order.

At this moment, a black wind of death spread around, and Athena, who had completed her transformation, also showed her new posture at this time.

At this time, Athena was already a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, wearing an olive branch laurel wreath, a long white dress lined her noble and mysterious, and her long silver hair reached to her waist, like the Milky Way on the horizon, hanging down to the sky.

"It doesn't seem like this power can be fully mastered yet, but it doesn't matter, it's all temporary."

Athena carefully sensed the surging power in her body, she hadn't been so full in a long time.

"I'm fully recovered, and I'm so emotionally rich, Athena."

Zhou Xiaoning joked that Athena was a three-free Lori before, but now she has become a mature young lady, this transformation is really interesting.

"Boy, it seems that until now, I still don't know your name."

Athena's eyes narrowed slightly, as if she was secretly planning something, which made Zhou Xiaoning suddenly feel uneasy.

"My name is Zhou Xiaoning, I hope you can remember this name, comrade-in-arms."

"Hehe, Xiang becomes my comrade-in-arms, then see if you have this qualification."

Athena summoned her divine scythe and slashed directly at Zhou Xiaoning, and as soon as she struck, she was full of strength, completely looking like she had put Zhou Xiaoning to death.

"Hey, hey, don't you want to do this, we just signed a contract, aren't you afraid of backlash?"

Zhou Xiaoning didn't expect Athena to make a sudden move on him, and he didn't say anything about it, but fortunately, he would teleport and avoid it in time at the moment of crisis, otherwise if he hit this trick, he would be seriously injured even if he didn't die.

"The contract just said that I would help you deal with Yuan Lu Zhi, not that I couldn't make a move on you. As long as I solve you, and then solve Yuan Lu Zhi, it will not be a breach of contract. ”

Athena, who is worthy of the priesthood of the goddess of wisdom, found the loophole in the contract so quickly.

In fact, this is also the bitter fruit that Zhou Xiaoning himself has planted. You must know that Athena is the goddess of wisdom, and as a result, she was teased by Zhou Xiaoning again and again, which made her face go where to go, if she didn't get back to the scene, how could she mix in the circle of gods in the future!

As soon as he heard this, Zhou Xiaoning didn't know that he was being tricked, but Athena didn't put herself into it, you must know that Yuan Lu Zhi was not in the world of god killers, and without Zhou Xiaoning's leadership, Athena would not be able to go to the present world. This means that if Athena really kills Zhou Xiaoning, she herself will be considered to be in breach of contract, and when the backlash of the power of the contract falls, she may not even have a chance to return to the myth, so she will be directly wiped out.

"That, actually, ......"

Zhou Xiaoning wanted to explain and end this meaningless battle. But Athena didn't give him a chance at all, and slashed with a scythe.
