Chapter 14: The Double Seal

"The Grace of Regeneration......?"

Carette repeated the words of the goddess Athena in astonishment.

"Yes! Without his insistence, the gem ...... It will be taken away by evil forces in the morning...... Ahem......"

Athena spoke slowly in her old voice, but she was interrupted by a cough that looked extremely painful, and her shoulders were churning in an uncontrollable cough.

Carette stopped arguing, and turned to look at Demos:

"Demos, you've been guarding the gem, haven't you?"

Earlier in the West Cliff Apartment, Hades had personally explained all the secrets about the gem. It's just that today's practice of the goddess Athena confirms what Hades said that day. Therefore, she had no doubts about Athena's gesture of bowing down to Badmus, and understood why she was so grateful to him in public.

"You...... Got it all?"

Demos also looked at her, his dark eyes full of affection.

"Yes...... Got it...... You are the guardian of the gems. This is the secret you kept saying to me the second time you chased me to the ends of the earth......"

Kareta took a deep breath as she straightened her chest, her throat tore at her throat with the intense choking sensation that rushed up from her emotions.

Demos gazed earnestly at Carette's face, seeing that the snow-white and delicate complexion on it was soaked in pink due to the change of mood, and that her clear and pure eyes were projected on him, and she refused to leave an inch.

For this reason, Demos was inexplicably moved at this moment, and this feeling was like a warm spring filling the gradually cooling atrium in his body, and immediately restoring it to its vigorous vitality.

“... The whole thing does look like you know..."

After more than ten seconds of silence, he finally spoke:

"When I first got the Athena Gem, I was glad that fate was helping me, and in order to repay the hatred of being banished, I was thinking every day about how to break the seal of the gem and use the power of the gem to fight against Zeus and occupy his royal power. So I did whatever it took to get close to you, who was the key to the seal, and coerced and coerced you to possess you. Until you were captured by the Sea King, and the first time I saw you split at the ends of the earth, I couldn't control my true feelings anymore, and I couldn't control myself to love you..."

Time and all moving matter are solidified by Demos's last statement. In Karete's still world of consciousness, only the voice of "love you" keeps singing in a loop.

"Demos ...... You're talking ......"

Her lips trembled up and down, and she opened her big ying~ eyes full of tears to look at him.

This was not the first time he had confessed to her, but on such occasions today, in front of many gods, he once again bravely confessed to her, and she could not help but be moved to tears by his sincerity and sincerity.

"Yes, I'm saying I love you!"

Demos affirmed in another accentuated tone:

"I want to infect you with my heart, take care of you with my actions, cherish you, and don't want you to suffer the slightest harm. Kareta, these are not to ask you to break the seal on the gem for me. From the day I really fell in love with you, I let go of my hatred, these are the truth, I once said it to you..."

"Yes...... Be...... You said it...... It's all said ......"

Carette took two steps back with her head in her hands, and began to weep in the sincere voice of Demos:

"But I don't deserve your love...... I had a secret from the beginning. I left Jose and chose you for today!"

"I know...... But there are some feelings that are difficult for you and me to control. I want to take you to Malaysia to escape the world, just to escape this predicament and enjoy your and my world. But if your final choice is to return to the battlefield, I will come with you, and I will never ...... Leave you alone to face ......"

In the end, Demos couldn't continue to speak, his facial features trembled, and he forced his expression to cry.

Jose looked at the two of them, opening his mouth but not knowing what to say, his expression stunned.

In the past, he had been immersed in the grief of his reluctance to break up with Karete. To this day, seeing the couple who are suffering ten thousand times more than himself, he begins to feel sorry for them.

"Enough...... Enough is enough!

Among the gods, Kamod had already heard the fire, secretly raised his sword and made a move, shouting for a sneak attack on his rival. A gust of wind hung up on "Manshi", and the cold and biting blade qi rushed towards Demos viciously, not allowing him to continue.

Demos pushed away the damage of the blade qi with "destruction", and Kamod was furious, twisting his body and about to attack again, but saw a dazzling fire lotus flower rise into the air.

"Aha......"

Cali flew to a halt in mid-air with the jewel in his hand, staring coldly at Demos below, and the sound of wild laughter was full of pathos.

"Demos, you really have a kind! Just for a woman, you tolerated and nurtured adultery, and to this day, you have lost the lifeblood of the Dark Clan—"

Cali glared at Demos and accused, and his desperate voice echoed under the dome:

"Now, the Athena gem is in my hands, as long as I get the power of the goddess of war, let alone you, even if the twelve main gods are combined, they are not my opponents!"

"Everyone, get the gem back—"

The goddess of disputes gave an order, and the gods were eager to try again.

Athena tilted her head to look at the frivolous Kali, and a meaningful smile suddenly oozed from the corners of her wrinkled mouth, as if she had already made up her mind about something.

"Kali, are you sure you can really absorb the power of that gem and make it one with your source of divine power?"

"You ask me?"

Cali replied to Athena condescendingly, both purple eyes sparkling with the fire of the gem between her fingers.

"The seal of the gem has been opened by Carette's own hands! Your power will soon belong to me! In this life, you should be an ugly old woman! Hahaha......"

"Okay! In that case, you can just take action! If you can really merge with the power of the gem, I will give up the source of divine power, and I will no longer make any plans to withdraw my power!"

"Athena......!

"What are you talking about?"

As soon as these words came out, the gods of the sacred mountain who were fighting against Cali immediately panicked.

With such a tense form, there is no room for the slightest joke, let alone any possibility of failure.

"Humph!"

Kali rolled his eyes at Athena, who looked unhurried, and said disdainfully:

"You're such a fool! Wait—"

As he spoke, Kali hid the golden axe, put his arms in front of his chest, and pressed his palms against each other to activate his own source of divine power.

A strong magnetic force came into existence in her palm, and the blue Athena gem stood between her palms under the guidance of this power.

Cali wrinkled his eyebrows and increased his capacity again.

When he landed, the gem seemed to feel something, and the holy light instantly surged several times, shining directly through the hard and clear blue outer wall, stabbing the gods present to squint their eyes, or simply turn their heads to dodge.

"Wow! It's so bright! I can't open my eyes......"

"What is she doing? Why is it so bright?"

"Is that light the power of the goddess Athena? Could it be that Kali is absorbing gems right now?"

"We ...... What the hell should I do......

The gods of Olympus, basking in the vain surging brilliance of the gem, talked in horror.

"Demos ...... We ...... What to do?"

Kareta couldn't see the expression of Kali who was preoccupied with casting spells, but she was stunned to imagine the way she almost cracked when she raised the source of her divine power to the limit.

At this time, Kareta was very afraid.

The gem was opened by herself, and if Kali really sucked the power inside, she would not be able to bear any consequences.

Demos's expression was extremely serious, and his forehead was covered with countless cold beads of sweat. When he saw Athena's old cheeks, half hidden in the shadows, seemed to be smiling, and he immediately realized that maybe things were not as simple as Cali had imagined.

Sure enough, the brilliance of the gem overflowed for a short time, and then it dimmed in vain. When the light was completely extinguished, the gem and Kali fell from mid-air. At this time, Cali, who was almost exhausted, was more like a dead leaf without a trace of weight, so he fell to the ground a little slower than the gem, and whispered.

"How so...... How can this be......"

Cali felt as soft as a boneless, and she struggled to bend her neck, staring blankly at the sapphire a few meters away, her expression shocked.

Ahead, the azure gemstone was surrounded by circles of bright blue light patterns, as if electricity was flowing back and forth around its body, making a "zi-la-la" sound.

Just now, she felt a real feeling in the process of casting spells and absorbing the power of gems, that is, with the expansion of the divine power source in her body, the stronger the power she used, the faster the divine power source in her body would be depleted.

At this moment, because she had lost too much divine power source, it was finally difficult for her to stand up in mid-air.

Cali fell to the ground and muttered to himself in shock:

"I can't draw strength from a gem...... Moreover, while urging my own divine power source, my power ...... It's actually decreasing ......"

"That's because, gemstones...... There's a second seal!"

"What!?"

"Second seal?"

"What's going on?"

Athena's calm explanation caused another commotion among the gods.

"What do you say...... Athena: What a second seal!"

Cali seemed difficult to accept, and she struggled to get up twice, only to fail. Staggering to prop up her upper body, she sat on her knees and asked angrily.

Athena lowered her gaze and looked at the goddess who was getting closer and closer to the end of defeat with a calm countenance, and waited a few seconds before saying:

"When the Titans perished, each of the Olympus gods sealed their own source of divine power in an heirloom gem. However, in order to make the source of divine power foolproof, we will use several gods to cast spells at the same time as a means to build seals for different gems, so as to solidify the gems and stabilize the source of divine power stored in them.

Therefore, in order to obtain the source of divine power in this gem, in addition to unlocking the outermost crystal ball seal with the key of the seal, Kareta herself, you must also unlock a very important seal, which is the last lock placed on the gem. ”

"Tell me! What is it—"

Cali was already annoyed, and he yelled nervously at the old woman in front of him.

"That's the owner of the gem...... The blood of Athena, the goddess of war. ”

At this moment, Athena suddenly grew into a pair of eyes, and a pair of dim eyes radiated a sharp light.
