"Whew, the concubine body finally took back the ancient Trinity body. Now, foolish god-killers, let's have fun with your concubine. After a moment, Athena, who had stabilized her strength, looked back at Ito-Nari, who had used the power of the Lord of Hades to counteract the aura of death that burst out when she recovered.
"Gladly." Ito said with a gentlemanly salute. Then, he opened his mouth and chanted the glorious spirit of speech: "With the skill of my word and spirit, let the justice of the world appear!" These mantras are powerful and eloquent. It is a sword of wisdom that beckons victory. β
As soon as the words fell, a huge glorious weapon with Damascus as the prototype and a golden light all over its body appeared in Ito's palm.
"Excellent! Then divide the ranks here, Godslayer! Athena, whose ears were as sharp as elves, and who had a face that was not like that of the human world, said with a cheerful expression.
With a wave of his arm, dozens of owls flew out of the dark depths in an instant, and at the same time, dozens of snakes that came out of nowhere also gathered and crawled towards Ito.
"All evil things, fear me! The unrighteous who have power cannot crusade against meβI am the strongest, the one who can break all barriers! Looking at the number of summoned beasts as high as more than 100, Ito Nari, who did not dodge at all, continued to sing his own words.
Almost instantly, the golden greatsword in Ito's hand flashed, and the approaching Athena summoned beasts were all in a different place and turned back into dust.
Because it was not a normal beast, the dead summoned beast did not leave any corpse behind.
"Huh...... Sure enough, there was a wonderful weapon hidden that could both cut and cut - it should be a sword. The spirit of the sword, you really have taste. Athena, who had been slain in the summoning beast, stated with her characteristic wisdom.
"Then, the concubine will also play with you again. Look at the moves! β
As Athena shouted, the ground of the originally hard artificial island below her suddenly produced a huge bulge, and then the front part of the bulge turned into a shape similar to a sickle, and then changed into a huge stone snake formed by mixing sand and stone, supporting Athena who slowly descended on top of the stone snake's head. His eyes were leveled at Ito Nari on the other side.
"Come on, my sharp teeth. Crush the godkiller into a pulp! Athena commanded in a loud voice.
In an instant, a huge stone snake with a total length of about twenty or thirty meters violently probed and bit at Ito-naru......
Itonari smiled at Athena, who was approaching with the head of the stone snake, and quickly flew backwards to retreat more than ten meters away, and after dodging the bite of the stone snake, he once again chanted the sword word.
"The serpent is a symbol of your strength, your essence. You have always been a goddess who is closely associated with snakes. Then there's the owl, which also has a deep relationship with birds. β
"Oh? Ito-nari, have you investigated the provenance of the concubine's body? Athena said with a slightly interested look on her face.
"Of course. In order to leave you with a lifelong failure, I have prepared a lot. At least you have about eight or ninety percent of what kind of god you are. And the key to explaining your existence is the snake. Ito said with a smile.
"The serpent is Medusa, and Athena and Medusa were originally the same goddess, and this is before the two goddesses were spread to Greece in a foreign land, from the lands of North Africa." With this sentence falling. A large amount of golden-lustre, baseball-sized orbs of energy appeared around Ito, completely encircling him in the center of the ocean of light.
"If you go back to the source, you are the goddess of the snake. Not only that, but Metis, the goddess of wisdom who is Athena's mother in Greek mythology, is originally you. β
At this time, the huge stone snake finally crawled over a distance of more than ten meters from Ito Nari. It came to his vicinity again, but just as it was about to pounce on Ito again, it was resisted by the barrier formed by the golden ball of light that gathered outside Ito's body.
"This is the spirit of the sword!? Is it the weapon just now? Athena said with a slight frown.
"You are not a goddess of Greek origin. She is the goddess of the earth who was born in North Africa and is worshipped throughout the Mediterranean. And it has many other names and images. Metis, Medusa, Knight, Yanata, Yatana, Yanata, Ashera...... They were originally clones of you, the original Athena, and could also be said to be your sisters. "At this point, the sword's spirit has finally completed the first stage of compilation. And at the moment of completion, a golden light erupted from the sword, cutting the stone snake outside the barrier in half.
The dead stone serpent immediately returned to its original form, turning into countless pieces of rubble. Rumbling to the ground.
"It's really unpleasant, Nari Ito! Dare to threaten the concubine with a sword! Don't let the concubine body think of that taboo past! Although she lost the support of the snake, Athena, whose body was still floating in the sky, said with an angry face.
"You and the ancestors of Isis of Egypt and Ithtar of Babylon are the last descendants of the ancient goddess Taimu, and you are not only the goddess of the earth, but also the god of darkness who rules the underworld, and the goddess of wisdom who masters the wisdom of the heavens." Ito-nari ignored Athena's anger. Continue to weave the spirit of words and sharpen the blade of the sword, making it sharper.
"Because she has always been accompanied by three attributes, she became a triune goddess - this is the characteristic of Athena. As a characteristic of the god of war, it was only added with the changes of the times. It makes sense that Hades, the god of death, is the god of struggle when it comes to the greatest calamity, that is, war. β
"You're pretty good at talking!" An angry Athena's hand flashed, and a bow and arrow appeared. Then Athena opened her bow and shot the arrow in her hand at Ito.
At this time, I saw the sword light in Itocheng's hand flash, and the flying arrow was bounced out.
"Then, the key to the birth of your Trinity is the serpent!" Ito Nari continued to state the spirit of the words.
"Say no more! The past of the concubine's body, how can a junior like you be able to defile it lightly! Athena shouted as she conjured four arrows in her hand and shot at Ito, but they were still deflected away by the light emitted by the sword in his hand.
Although cows, sheep, and pigs are also used to symbolize the land of abundant harvest. In fact, you are also the Mother Earth goddess in the form of a cow - but your essence is a serpent, and this is the key to your identity as the oldest Athena. After all, you are not a goddess who holds the blessings of the earth. Birth, growth, maturity, aging, and then death, and the same is true of the four seasons. It grows in the spring, flourishes in the summer, bears fruit in the fall, and withers in the winter. β
At this time, Athena, who looked angry, put away her bow and arrows. Waving his sword, he rushed towards Ito even though his body would be slashed by [sword]. But then it was deftly dodged by Ito Nari.
"And in the ancient world, the people of the ancient world may not all receive the blessings of the earth, because there are natural disasters or anomalies, and most of the harvest will be lost because of these - so the earth mother goddess not only gives favors, but also takes life in winter. A fierce god who is in a bad mood and brings disaster. Otherwise, it would be illogical. Ito Nari swung his sword at Athena as he weaved the spirit of words.
As a disobedient god, Athena gained the power at the apex of the human world just by showing herself, so although Ito's slash was much sharper than that of ordinary people. Athena could still dodge the deadly sword slash from time to time.
"So it's the snake, the snake that has undergone several molts, hibernates and awakens in a constant cycle, is the creature that symbolizes the cycle of death and rebirth, the migration of the seasons, and the snake that symbolizes the bountiful harvest and the loving cow, the serpent that has both the blessing of life and the death of calamity, is a veritable god."
For the ancients. It's rare to find a creature as weird and mysterious as a snake. Shedding the shell with molting is a long hibernation in the winter, followed by a resurrection from the dead. Light yì has crossed the gap between winter and spring, and is an immortal god.
Winter is the god of death, and the god of both nature and the underworld. This is Athena and the serpent, and why she is the goddess of the earth and the goddess of Hades. Moreover, the underworld imagined by ancient people basically existed in the dark underground. A winter world shrouded in darkness. In the same way, the time ruled by darkness, the night, is probably part of the underworld. So Athena is also the goddess of darkness.
"Ito Cheng, it's the concubine who underestimates you!" Athena, who had regained some distance from Ito, said in a deep voice.
"Urus Ragnar! The god you slain is Urus Ragnar! The god of conquest also had a close relationship with Indra in the far east, as well as with my friend Hercules. A disobedient god who serves the new god king and uses his spear to defeat the ancient gods! Then, Athena used her wisdom to analyze the source of the Sword of Words.
"That god of war is a crusader of the ancient gods, if you can kill Uruslagna. Then it makes sense to be able to use the God-killing Sword...... But that's not all, right? β
"Urus Ragnar was not only the god of victory, but also the guardian of the kingship and the people, the personal protector of Mithra, the chief god of Persia. Mithra is the embodiment of the sun. So Urus Ragnar is also associated with the sun. β
"I don't know how much power you can wield in Urusragnar, but you should have the power associated with the sun. If you want to drive away the darkness of the concubine's body, the most effective way is sunlight. Athena squinted at the sword in Ito's hand and said.
"It's a filthy and horrible sword, but you're using it too blatantly. Probably to provoke the concubine and take the opportunity to find out the flaw, right? Ito-naru, your trick has been seen through by the concubine. Athena declared confidently. Immediately, Athena reopened her eyes, and golden beast pupils similar to the dragon's eyes possessed by Yaya appeared, exuding a wild aura, and everywhere that these eyes looked at, whether it was a creature or a dead thing, appeared in a petrified state.
Seeing this, Ito immediately flew backwards again, dodging the effects of the petrified moo.
"Medusa, the goddess of snakes with evil eyes, this is the best proof that you have a close relationship with birds." Ito-Nari, who was temporarily dodging, once again weaved the spirit of words.
"The three snake banshee sisters, including Medusa, not only have snakes, but they also have golden wings on their backs. The second sister, Eurya1e, whose name means one who flies far away, and the youngest sister, Medusa, is the mother of the winged Pegasus. β
"What binds you to the bird is the earth and the underworld - you are the god who rules the two worlds, and the bird has the magical power to fly back and forth between the otherworld and the present world, as our ancestors believed long ago ago. The soul of the deceased will take the form of a bird and fly to the sky, or be guided into Hades by a bird. As this passage was completed, the petrification effect that extended in front of Ito suddenly stopped. It was resisted by the golden sword light.
"So in order to go back and forth between the earth and the underworld, it is a matter of course to unite Athena and the bird as one. Your essence is a serpent β and a winged serpent"
"You want to cut and insult the concubine, and you want the concubine to lose her cool. The concubine body will not be fooled! Athena, who was pushing for Ito Nari to re-energize the petrification effect, said loudly.
"The primordial thou art a winged serpent, the goddess of life and death worshipped by the ancients before the name of the gods. The winged serpent has passed the baptism of time, and its evolved posture is that of Athena, the god of disobedience. "Equally stir up mana. Ito Nari, who weaved the sword of words to resist, read the sermon.
"The goddess of the serpent, who rules the earth and the underworld, and rules over the wisdom of the heavens, is undoubtedly the highest being among the gods. Unsurpassed, the god of gods, with the highest authority, the queen of the gods. β
"Once upon a time. You are the female who reigns over the ancient world, and it is the queen's duty to serve the gods to rule over mankind, so the leader of the gods is also the goddess of the goddess, the winged serpent. But the time came when they were ousted from the highest throne, the men who wielded force began to rebel, and the feminist society ended. β
"The age of the queen ended, the age of the king began, and at the same time the supreme deity from the matriarchal mother god of the earth. Became a strict father god, and starting with Zeus, the god-king was born. β
"The oldest Athena, as well as her doppelganger, has degenerated into the wife, sister or daughter of the god-king, losing its past glory, and the myth has been tampered with."
"Shut up!" Athena, who was told about the sore spot, shouted angrily.
"Athena became the king's daughter. Metis was humiliated by him and robbed of his wisdom. Medusa even degenerated into a monster. Not only that, but the Greek mythology of Hera or Aphrodite is the goddess of the defeated Mother Earth, the goddess of life and death who has the same origin as you. β
"Didn't you say shut up for me! What a filth it was! Athena exclaimed.
"The defeated Earth Mother Goddess is mentioned in mythology as a winged serpent, the winged serpent, that is, the dragon. An evil dragon who has appeared in countless heroic myths, a dragon who has been defeated by heroes and gods. It is the posture of the defeated Earth Mother God after being degraded! With that, Ito Nari pressed towards Athena with a golden sword that had been polished enough to kill the gods.
In response, Athena summoned a pitch-black scythe that symbolized death, holding it in her hand and colliding with Ito's golden sword. Brake time. An icy aura passed from Athena's scythe.
"The concubine's body will not be cut by you, even if the concubine's body is immortal, it can't withstand your attack that can directly cut off the godhead, so the concubine's body wants to knock you down with the power of the dark taboo!" Athena, who glared at Ito, said.
"The concubine is the one who summons the winter, the one who rules life and death, the ruler of the cold Hades, and the queen who takes the plunder. Concubinage orders. Kusanagi Godo, become the king of the dead, turn into a corpse" said Athena chanted the spirit of power, instigating the magic power to turn into a ripple of death, and attacked Ito Nari with the weapon in GuΓ²'s hand.
"Have you forgotten? I also have the power of Hades! Ito Nari said, mobilizing the power of the underworld in his body to resist the attack sent by Athena. Then he used his arm to forcibly cut off the scythe in Athena's hand with the sword of words.
"Boom!" The collision between the manas instantly formed a powerful shockwave that sent Ito Nari and Athena's bodies flying outward. But neither of them was any ordinary person, and they quickly got back up from the ground that had been cleared by the shockwave.
"In this case, your sword is no longer usable, but the concubine is very clear." Athena smiled and said, "In other words, you want to use the power of the sun now...... Among the incarnations of Urus Ragnar, the one with the strongest connection to the sun should be the horse. β
After saying that, he took out the pitch-black scythe again and slashed at Ito-naru.
"Worthy of the goddess of wisdom, you are right." Ito Nari, who calmly dodged Athena's scythe attack, smiled, then pointed to the east and shouted loudly, "Come to me for victory!" O immortal sun, give me a shining horse. O spiritual horse with a horse's feet, bring the chakra of light that symbolizes your lord! β
As the words fell, in the east of the pitch-black sky, a new sun suddenly appeared, turning into a flaming spear, and rushed straight towards Athena. In an instant, within a radius of tens of meters around Athena, everything was engulfed in white flames......
"Whoa, whoa!" Athena, who was scorched by the flames, cried out in pain.
"Now, remember your failures in your immortal life." At this time, Ito Nari, who was standing on the periphery of the flames, flipped his hand and summoned the Longinus spear to make a throwing posture, and said to Athena in the flames.
