The suspected metamorphosis lasted for more than a day, and the layer of golden light outside Medusa's body completely dissipated, revealing that although it had changed back to its original state, it had an extra layer of sacredness than before, which made people see it and give birth to a certain kind of worship in their hearts.
But he still woke up slightly, and then fell down and was taken into his arms by Zhou Chao.
"Let's go, let's go back to Aobodai first." Zhou Chao did not hesitate and immediately decided.
Medea naturally did not object to this, and without even saying hello to Gambal Fuyuma and the others who were guarding nearby, she directly launched the spatial transfer magic array and left Mount Fuji, returned to Aobadai, and entered the room specially opened up for people to rest in the library guarded by Kuna, and put Medusa on the bed, waiting for her to wake up.
However, this wait was more than three days, and it was not until the afternoon of the fourth day that Medusa opened her unsealed eyes and looked at the ceiling in front of her with a blank face.
It wasn't until more than a minute later that he sat up from the bed.
"Wake up......" Zhou Chao, who heard the overwhelming squeak of the bed board, raised his head and looked at Medusa and said. But he had to stop halfway through speaking, looked at Medusa's eyes with surprise on his face and said, "Your eyes." β
"Eyes?" Medusa was dazed, raised her hand and touched her eyes.
Zhou Chao, who came back to his senses, didn't talk nonsense, immediately turned his hand and conjured up a mirror, got up, walked to Medusa and handed it to her. The latter frowned and looked at the mirror in front of herβshe had always hated looking in the mirror because of the petrified magic eye, but she didn't hesitate too much, and then reached out and grabbed the mirror, and raised her hand in front of her.
In an instant, a pair of eyes that were different from her previous ones appeared in Medusa's eyes.
The base color of the eyeballs is still white. It's just that the part of the pupil that is the main body is not square, but like the round shape of an ordinary person, and the eyes around the pupil are as black as ink, and a little attention will make people sink into it, as if there is an abyss, hidden in Medusa's eyes.
Obviously, this is the change brought about by the killing of the disobedient Athena. It is supposed to be the attribute that Athena is the ruler of Hades. It does not conflict with Medusa's original image, the winged serpent.
"My eyes!?" Medusa exclaimed as she pressed her eyeballs through her eyelids in disbelief.
"It's supposed to be the change you brought about after defeating Athena. Feel it again and see if there is anything else different. Zhou Chao asked. At the same time, I was not polite, and used the power of the contract to test Medusa's attributes again.
Not surprisingly, Medusa's attributes changed again.
Among them, the endurance of the main attribute is from the original general C. Promoted to the unfathomable EX, the same is true of luck, plus the magic that broke the norm after absorbing the Stone of Gorgon last time, only the strength and agility are still within the surveyable range, which are A and A+.
The inherent skills of the rank have not changed, but there have been a lot of changes in the skills of individual retention. The first thing to bear the brunt of is the attribute of divinity, from the last C- to the A, the monster power has not changed, it is still A+. Acting alone became EX, MONOCULUS: EX. In addition, there are several more uncertain information items in Medusa's personal skills, and the only one that can be seen clearly is Kamui. I think it should be the divine complement to A. and skills that arise from receiving Athena's Gift.
After a few moments, Medusa reopened her eyes.
"How?" Zhou Chao said with concern.
"I seem to have a lot of memories in my head, both about me and about Athena. There are a few other inexplicable things. Medusa thought for a moment and replied.
"Inexplicable something? What are they? Zhou Chao's eyes lit up and he asked. He had a vague feeling that those inexplicable things were the most important things that Athena had given to Medusa. It's something he's been looking forward to.
"A lot, about myths, about gods, about the realm of immortality, and something that can't be said for the time being." Medusa recalled.
"That seems to be right, what Athena gave you in the end is her wisdom, and it is estimated that it is precisely because of this wisdom that you can thresh from Golgenization so smoothly and turn back into your current you." Zhou Chao exhaled a long breath and said happily.
"......" Medusa was speechless, but the expression on her face looked very complicated. Probably she didn't expect that Athena, who was an enemy, would be so generous.
"Last question, are you a godkiller now?" Then, Zhou Chao's expression narrowed, and he looked at Medusa with a serious face and asked. This will determine Medusa's achievements, and it is not up to Zhou Chao to be serious.
"Probably not. At least I didn't feel any traces of power in my body other than my power. Hearing this, Medusa carefully felt the situation in her body again, and then shook her head.
"That's good." Zhou Chao, who listened to Medusa's answer, relaxed. In this way, Medusa will no longer be bound by something, and will have the power of her present body and the unlimited potential to move to a higher level.
In other words, Medusa stepped into the divine realm one step ahead of the Zhou Dynasty! Although this has nothing to do with the fact that she was originally a goddess......
"Rest well, I'll leave the rest to you." Zhou Chao showed his face and smiled at Medusa.
β¦β¦
And so on for another half a month.
Zhou Chao and Medea and Kuna, who had studied the wisdom of the gods with Medusa for half a month, left the Aobadai Secret Vault, where they had lived for more than a month, and flew to Nanyang, that is, Indonesia, on a special plane provided by the Orthodox Compilation Committee, and landed on the island of Kalimantan.
However, he didn't stay on it for long, and the next day, he took a boat provided by the local association forces contacted by the Orthodox Compilation Committee to the anomalous island that had been investigated more than two months earlier.
The process went smoothly, and I arrived on the mysterious island without suffering any anomalies. Then the four of them disembarked and headed for the depths of the island.
"This feeling ......" On the way, Medea couldn't help but muttered in a trance.
"Are you alright?" Zhou Chao walked up to Medea's side and said with concern.
"It's fine, but I didn't expect to set foot in that kind of land here again." Medea shook her head slightly, then raised her head, her eyes becoming distant...... And her memory also returned to her childhood when she was a flawless girl.
β¦β¦
"Father, you called me?" Little Medea, who was wearing a white translucent Shakespeare shoulder dress full of Greek style, ran into the palace that was luxurious at the time, and called out to the middle-aged man who looked extremely rough on the throne, but gave people a dazzling sun.
"Oh, my dear little Medea, come quickly." The rough man, Aetes, the owner of Kochis Island, laughed.
Medea did not hesitate and ran to the side of Aetes.
"Father."
"Come, Medea, get to know your aunt, Karke." Aetheus smiled and stroked Medea's head twice on his lap, and introduced it to the curious Medea.
"Haven't you always wanted to learn spells? Your aunt will be able to teach you. β
"Really?" Medea's eyes lit up, and she quickly looked at her father and asked.
"Haha, what do you say?" Aetes laughed.
Medea, who knew that her father would never lie to herself, had brighter eyes, and hurriedly ran away from Aetheus's lap and came to Karke, who was also wearing a translucent black dress made of Sha, and asked expectantly, "Auntie, do you really know how to spell?" Can you show me this? β
"Okay." Karke glanced his niece up and down, nodded in agreement, then looked around, and then reached out in vain and pointed at one of the guards standing in the palace.
Suddenly, and there was no sound or light effect, and the body of the loyal guard immediately changed, from a high-spirited and burly human to a fanged boar with black sideburns, and his eyes were full of frightened "humming" and running in all directions.
"Wow! My aunt is amazing! In this regard, Medea, who was still young, did not realize that there was anything wrong with her aunt's behavior, and clapped her hands with joy and shouted. Then he turned to look at Karko again, and said with a look full of pleading, "Auntie, aunt, is it okay to hand over Medea spells?" β
"Do you really want to learn spells from me?" Instead of answering immediately, Karkke asked rhetorically.
"Yes, auntie." Medea replied firmly, nervously.
"You know, I don't live here. In other words, if you want to learn spells from me, you won't see your father for years, are you willing to do that? Karke asked.
"This ......" Hearing this, Medea couldn't help but hesitate, her face was full of hesitation and circled back and forth between her father Aetheus and her aunt Circe, until a long time passed, and then she said to Kerke with a firm face, "Yes, aunt, I do." β
"Well, for your father's sake, I'll take you." Karke smiled.
"Thank you, auntie." Medea, who finally got an affirmative answer, said happily.
"Karkke, Medea pleases you." At this time, Aetes, who had never spoken in the conversation between Medea and Calke, said to his sister with a wry smile.
"Don't worry, Medea is also my niece, and I will take good care of her." Karke laughed.
And this was the first meeting between Medea and Karke, and it was also the meeting that changed her fate. Because it was from this meeting that Medea completely embarked on the road to becoming a rare witch.
β¦β¦
"Auntie...... It's really a long time ago, it's called ......" After a while, Medea, who had come back from her memories, said secretly in her heart. (To be continued......)
