"I need an explanation, let's say, what is your real purpose?"

Chen Sheng held his sword in his hand and stared at Athena in front of him.

It seems that if there is a disagreement, the sword will fall.

“......”

With a flash of golden light, Athena somehow reverted to her original heroic golden dress posture.

revealed his full face.

"If you want to use beauty tricks, I won't be soft."

Although he didn't know what she was going to do, Chen Sheng still had an expressionless face.

Although the goddess of wisdom has a peerless appearance, he Chen Sheng knows very well in his heart that this is a real god and cannot be viewed from the perspective of a simple human being.

Before you figure out the true intentions of the other party, you must be tough enough to face the other person.

He wanted to say something, but suddenly, Chen Sheng seemed to feel something, he turned his head, and saw the soil on the withered earth stir for a while, and then, a humanoid creature formed by the gathering of completely dirt slowly stood up from the ground.

A breeze blew, blowing Athena's waist-length purple hair.

She seemed to notice the sudden anomaly and looked away, but there seemed to be a hint of respect on her face.

"Athena. In your current state, it is not suitable to go to the underworld. ”

The clay figurine, which was more than two meters tall, could not see the difference between men and women, and did not see it speak, but an ethereal voice seemed to come from a long distance.

Chen Sheng naturally heard this voice as well.

But when he took a closer look, his expression suddenly appeared in surprise.

Because this voice actually seems to come directly from the bottom of my heart.

But in the conventional perception of people, the brain feels that this sound is very distant.

"Mother Goddess."

Athena's cheeks at this moment, as if her beautiful face had completely softened, she bowed slightly with reverence, and did not care about the secret sword still on her neck, and gave a salute to the clay figure.

'Mother Goddess? Could it really be the legendary Gaia? How could He have appeared at this time? ’

Looking at this clay figure that suddenly appeared, Chen Sheng's heart suddenly shook slightly.

He immediately used his psychic power to sense the other's breath and tried to spy on something, but to his surprise, he didn't sense anything on the clay figure that could be spied on.

It's like it doesn't exist at all.

How is this possible?

A hint of consternation welled in his heart.

Whether it's true or not, mind snooping should be able to catch some information, even if it's a fake, at least it should show that it's just an ordinary clay figure.

There were some ups and downs in his heart, but he was quickly suppressed by Chen Sheng.

If it was really "Gaia", if this level of existence really appeared in front of him, no matter what he wanted to do, it would be in vain.

Chen Sheng's mastery of the Infinity Stones is still in its infancy, and he is still self-aware in the face of some super gods.

After all, it has only been a few days since he gained strength, and it is impossible for him to say that he is invincible in the world no matter how he defies the sky.

"Great Mother Goddess, now is a good time, if we enter the underworld, maybe we can help the current master of the underworld to fight against his power."

Athena's cold voice whispered slowly.

"Clearing out the invaders of the underworld will be our sincerity to him."

"I'm sure he'll be willing to work with me."

"That's... Let me excuse me, what are you talking about? ”

Chen Sheng finally put down the secret magic sword in his hand and looked at Athena with a suspicious expression.

"It is not the native existence of the underworld that drives these embers, but the followers of the Lord of the Heavenly Firmament."

Athena's purple eyes glanced at him.

"The awakened Lord of the Celestial Dome wants to break free from the seal of the Body. He wanted to come back into the world. ”

"And if you want to make it happen, at the moment, there are two ways. The first is to get all the mother boxes and use the power of the mother boxes to reunite to break the seal, and the second is to exterminate all the living beings in this world and recover the origin power of countless living beings, so that even if you can't break the seal of the main body, you can still shape an incomparably powerful split body. ”

"Either way, it's going to bring unnecessary trouble to the world, so I won't allow that to happen."

"And that's what you call 'my purpose.'"

“..........”

Of course, Chen Sheng knew who Athena was referring to when she meant the heavenly dome.

The first god-king Ouranos, the embodiment of the heavenly dome and the first true god created by Mother Earth, is both the first heir of Gaia and a companion-like existence in the epic mythology of the Titans' creation.

However, his power and arbitrariness caused the displeasure of the Mother Goddess, so in the end, at the behest of the Mother Goddess, Ouranos was overthrown by His children, and finally sealed and exiled in the eternal void.

"Aren't you going to help those Amazons close the gap between the two realms on this island, it's not a conflict."

Athena added at the end.

"So, you're going to take the Mother Box and destroy the Ember Evil that escaped from hell by the way?"

Chen Sheng was stunned for a moment, but suddenly, he seemed to think of something.

"No, you obviously wanted to leave after taking the mother box, but you didn't see that you wanted to care about the problems here?"

He pondered for two seconds, and saw Athena look in his eyes that seemed to be smiling, as if a light flashed through his mind.

"So you still have me in your purpose?"

Chen Sheng seemed to finally understand something.

Athena snatched the mother box in front of herself, not coming sooner or later, is this really just a simple coincidence?

However, Athena's behavior at that time did not make him think about this in the slightest.

Because in that case, Chen Sheng felt that if he hadn't arrived at the last minute, he might have let the other party escape.

But now it seems that what if the other party deliberately fought with Diana and caused a disturbance so that he could be aware.

Although there were still some points that he hadn't figured out, seeing that the incarnation of Gaia's consciousness appeared at this moment, Chen Sheng faintly felt that he understood what was going on.

"You're very smart, little mage, although the process is too smooth, but when you come to this world, as long as you are interested in those artifacts and treasures, you will definitely not let me go, right?"

Athena suddenly said something meaningful.

Chen Sheng was stunned for a moment and said.

"How do you know I'm going to collect artifacts?"

He suddenly felt that Athena seemed to know more than he had imagined.

But how is this possible?

How did she know about herself by never saying these things herself? Could it be that just by asking her for those three artifacts, she could tell that her purpose in this world was to collect those artifacts and treasures?

Suddenly, a somewhat unbelievable but plausible guess popped into his mind.

Chen Sheng's gaze looked at the clay figure who was suspected to be Gaia's incarnation.

"The embodiment of Heavenly Principles. You can see that you have a lot of doubts. ”

That ethereal voice sounded directly in the hearts of Athena and Chen Sheng again.

He seemed to sense Chen Sheng's thoughts, and the clay man also looked at Chen Sheng with a fleshless gaze.

"I've been watching you since you came into this world."

The first sentence was to shock Chen Sheng's body.

Watching me all the time?

So, Athena can know so much about him? Could it be that every word and deed and every move he made after coming to this world was actually under surveillance?

His eyes suddenly appeared solemn.

How detailed is this so-called observation?

Although it is a little scary, it seems that this is not impossible.

“... Are you really the Mother Earth? ”

Chen Sheng took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

"If you were to look at the mythological texts, yes."

A clay figure that looked incomparably opened its mouth, as if it was just a child playing and piling it up, but his words were like a boulder, pressing on Chen Sheng's heart.

The clay man's words immediately reminded him of the two days he had been reading books in the Amazon Library.

Therefore, he is quietly watched, and I am afraid that he can be stone-hammered.

"The power you have is very interesting. I can feel in you, a will of the origin of the universe. That's a great and incredible force. It was this source of strength that woke me from my slumber. ”

The clay figure spoke silently, and the ethereal voice continued to echo in the depths of Chen Sheng's heart.

"You don't have to worry, I won't be angry with you about Ares."

Gaia seemed to have complete insight into what Chen Sheng was thinking.

It was the first time he had mastered the power of his mind, and for the first time someone could capture his thoughts.

"On the contrary, after what I have observed of you these days, I am optimistic about the potential you have, albeit for a short time. I believe that your arrival is not a bad thing, but may be a help to the world. ”

Chen Sheng opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.

"In my opinion, it may be safer for the mother box to be in your hands at the moment."

There was no emotion in Gaia's voice, only the distant ethereal, with a magic that seemed to calm people's hearts.

"We might as well make a deal."

“... Trading, what do you mean? ”

Chen Sheng finally spoke.

"Help Athena, the child."

Gaia Road.

"The ambition of the Lord of the Firmament, even after countless years, has not diminished. But the world no longer needs Him to bring the rule of the old times. ”

"Go and get rid of those who are lost trying to get Him back. If you can accomplish this, then I promise that I will help you destroy the will hidden in the three mother boxes, and they will be yours. ”
