Chapter 15

"Goddess of War...... Target...... Blood?"

Cali listened to Athena's words, looked at her, and then at the sapphire on the ground, and repeated with a stunned expression on his face.

"Yes! The key to breaking the second seal...... It's my own blood!"

Athena and Kali looked at each other, their old faces showing a sure color, and while answering in the affirmative, she stretched out her left hand to Kamod, who was protecting her:

"Kamod, give me the knife. ”

Kamod nodded silently and presented the "mangstone" in his hand to the lord, but his eyes kept looking at Kali vigilantly, for fear that she would suddenly get up and make a sneak attack on Athena.

Athena took the sword, raised her right hand without hesitation, and then raised the sword in her hand.

The cold light swept in front of the eyes of the gods, and the sharp blade in the sigh had already cut the goddess's right wrist. Blood poured down her injured forearm. And her face did not change, and her color calmly waved her bloodied arm towards the gem on the ground.

The red blood was sprinkled on the gray brick floor, and the cold and gorgeous gem on the ground was also poured.

A few seconds later, the gem's fiery light expanded to its limit again, and the moment the thousands of paths broke through the outer wall of the gem, it also pierced the darkness of the entire temple, as if the temple that had been abandoned by the dawn for thousands of years finally saw the dawn of dawn.

In the process, the whole gem turns into a glowing light bulb, which is so soft that its blue color is completely invisible.

On the ground, Athena's blood also faded and disappeared in the brilliance of the gem, turning into a force of attraction, lifting the gem belonging to the god of war from the ground into the air, and smoothly leading it towards the host Athena.

Athena half-raised her head, looked at the gem that was getting closer and closer to her, and nodded slightly, but her expression was an intersection of a hundred things, which was extremely complicated.

She is about to take back her own power, once the source of divine power is returned, she is the second goddess of war in the Holy Mountain, not only has infinite divine power, but also can completely get rid of the current appearance of the old dragon clock, and will not be ridiculed by those boring gods.

But what happened next...... What should I do......

Athena looked at the gems that were getting closer and closer, and her heart was stung fiercely!

She wanted to smile and celebrate that she had retrieved what belonged to her, but she couldn't laugh at the thought that the secret would eventually be revealed when the gem seal was lifted, and that the plan was about to be implemented.

"No...... It's mine...... It's mine!"

Cali let out a long roar that cracked through the air, and he suddenly stood up with the strength he had borrowed from somewhere. She looked at the jewel that was getting farther and farther away from her, and was annoyed:

"The Athena Jewel is mine! you can't take it away—"

In the midst of the shouting, she shook her body, and in an instant, more gray forces burst out of her body, and they all pounced on the gem, as if to take it back to Kali's side.

Without saying a word, Athena raised her injured right arm in the air, and immediately, the blood from the wound gushed even more fiercely.

"Athena!"

Careless for his master, Karmad screamed. He had already returned the treasure sword "Manshi", and when he saw this situation, he wanted to charge into battle, so he rushed directly to fight Cali.

Athena didn't seem to hear Karma's cry, and continued to fight with Cali.

The blood gushing out of his right wrist dissipated in the gem's light, becoming an even more powerful force, opposing Kali's aura in the air, causing a violent vortex of air as it swirled.

The glowing gem was right in the middle of the air vortex, swaying and turning with the current. One moment it was on the side of the goddess Athena, and on the other hand, it was taken to Cali by anger. During the battle, the two goddesses straightened up, froze the expressions on their faces, and focused all their thoughts on the casting of spells.

"Hmm...... Damn!"

Cali's stamina was draining away from the spells, and seeing that she was far away from the gem, she couldn't help but be in a hurry, determined to take the gem at all costs.

At the moment, no price can be worth the sacrifices and payments you made before.

Now this last step, I can only win, not lose-

Cali thought, stretching his arms sideways, making the last move.

Suddenly, her head grew several times larger, forming extremely incongruous proportions with her body. And at the same time as the head grew violently in an instant, her mouth was also infinitely enlarged, and the corners of her two mouths seemed to have reached the root of her ears, and the others squeezed the other facial features to her forehead.

At this point, her head, which was out of proportion to her body, looked like a round dough, and except for a large mouth with blood spurting, all the other deformed features were piled together, and no shape could be seen.

"Ahh

The Goddess of Dispute was the first to let out a piercing scream of the strange state in front of her, and the gods let out a series of exclamations, and before they could react, Cali had already opened her mouth, raised her chest high, and inhaled hard at the mid-air gem.

After a gust of wind, the gem was sucked into her mouth by Kali, who swallowed it and swallowed it vigorously, eating it into her stomach.

"Gems—"

It was too late for Kamod to save him, and he watched as Kali instantly returned to his original form after swallowing the gem, and quickly sat cross-legged on the ground, his arms folded and began to operate the source of divine power in his body.

"Demos ...... Demos! Cali ......"

Carret's thoughts now share those of the other gods, believing that Cali, who had swallowed the jewel, had won her battle with the goddess Athena. She looked at Demos uneasily, her expression impatient.

Demos looked at Cali, who was meditating on his strength, and was silent, his solemn expression was more worried about Cali's situation.

He was also a dark god, he knew Kali's methods, and she urged the source of divine power in such a state, obviously wanting her own divine power source and the power of the gem to forcibly merge.

However, now that she is exhausted, what is the chance of winning-

On the diagonal side of Demos, Athena, who is described as withered, and Croto, the goddess of fate, are fearless. Croto, in particular, was a silent spectator from beginning to end of Cali's misdeeds, with a mysterious smile on her beautiful and full face.

"Let's go up together, slash the goddess of blood alive, take out the Athena gem!"

Among the gods, Aras could no longer hold back and waved his left arm to greet his companions. Alice, Karmad, and the Sun God siblings immediately responded, shouting and scribbling towards the four loaves of bread, rushing at full speed towards Cali, who was sitting cross-legged.

But before they could get close to her, several of them crashed into a shield invisible to the naked eye, and their whole bodies screamed in pain as if they were struck by electricity, and then they were bounced far away, either slamming into the walls of the temple or crawling, almost flying out of the terrace.

That is, in the next second of the fiasco of the gods, Kali's chest tightened in vain, his abdomen ached, and he spewed out a mouthful of hot blood.

It was at this moment that Athena's unpretentious eyes flashed with two sharp lights.

"Why...... Why ......"

Cali slowly slumped back, his eyes widened in disbelief and froze at a point on the ground.

The skin on her face showed its first cracks, and soon the cracks deepened and lengthened, giving birth to more branches that quickly spread all around her body. At this time, Cali looks like a living jigsaw puzzle no matter how you look at it.

"Wow!

"It's disgusting......"

"Ahh......h

The gods let out a slight exclamation, followed by a whispering sound like the waves of the sea, and the other went on and on, without interruption.

Looking at Cali again, there is no perfect skin on Zhou's body. Instead of crimson blood, a strange light lingered between the bodies of the gods, leaping and dancing wildly.

Eventually, they converged into a wide, straight pillar of milky light that poured down into Athena's brain, filling her with a steady stream of power.

When the pillar of light dissipated, Athena was no longer a dying old man, she had completed her metamorphosis, transformed into a graceful goddess, dressed in shining golden armor, exuding the youth and charm of the gods.

"Athena...... Have you regained your powers?"

"Wow! We won! Olympus won!"

"Congratulations to the goddess for regaining her might!"

Carmod bowed down on one knee with his sword and offered a gift to the acolyte.

The gods of the Holy Mountain cheered again, echoing the Holy Legion team stationed in another dimension.

Cali's whole body was like a deflated ball, wilting more and more as that magical light leaked out. Eventually, she lay down on her side and couldn't get up again.

"My face...... My hand ......"

Cali lay on the ground in agony, trembling from the pain that had been torn all over his body. She stroked her face, and then held her arm in front of her eyes, and suddenly let out a terrible and poignant cry:

"Ahh......h What's wrong with my body—why! What the hell is this—woo-"

Cali tossed and turned, sobbing bitterly on the cold, hard masonry floor.

At this moment, she didn't need to look in the mirror, she also knew how ugly and terrifying her face should be.

She propped up her head, looked at the gods who were staring at her like monsters, and looked at Demos who stood in a daze, and she was even more ashamed of herself.

"Why...... Kali swallowed the gem, but she would lose to the goddess Athena......?"

Kareta was the first to come to her senses from her stunned state, and asked inexplicably, though she didn't know who among those present could give her a reasonable explanation.

"The function of the second seal of the gem, in addition to protecting your source of divine power, is the most important thing...... Fight against other powers, right? Athena?"

The sparkle in Demos's eyes faded as the gods of the Holy Mountain celebrated their victory, and he replied with a solemn look on his face, and then turned his head at Athena.
