Chapter 232: The End of Time (Part II)

"What do you want to say?"

Athena seemed to have expected him to ask, and asked back with an unchanged expression.

"Once the Mother Earth goddess Gaia had also mentioned that the eternal night was coming, and now, that Loki had also mentioned the story of the eternal night. This shouldn't just be a coincidence, what do you think? ”

Chen Sheng stared at her.

"yes, it shouldn't just be a coincidence."

Athena replied generously.

“... I wonder what the prophecy refers to in the eternal night. ”

Chen Sheng looked at her for two seconds, and his eyes flashed slightly.

"Don't say anything about the time has not come, after I think about it carefully, the initiative should still be in your own hands, do you think?"

“... Okay, okay, what are you doing so seriously. ”

Athena's beautiful green eyes couldn't help but show a little humanized resentment.

"Sister, I just want to help you, I don't even have my own weapon, you are still so fierce!"

“......”

The corners of Chen Sheng's mouth twitched slightly unconsciously, but he was already familiar with Athena's state of being cold and eccentric for a while, so he remained indifferent.

"Actually, I'm not hiding anything from you."

Seeing that his face did not change, Athena pursed her lips, and then came to the front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and said alongside Chen Sheng, overlooking the cityscape below.

"I really don't know exactly what the eternal night means, but since you have come into contact with the secrets of time, you should know that in fact, the so-called prophecy is nothing more than an observation of the future."

"The Mother Goddess told me that she saw endless darkness at the end of time, and some extremely terrible things, and I only realized it today, and this prophecy seems to involve not only my world, but even all of the multiverse."

"Oh? Did you really find out today? ”

Chen Sheng looked her expression up and down, as if he wanted to see something.

"If you use your voyeuristic skills to look at me, sister, I'll be angry."

Athena looked like a smile and glared back, also not to be outdone.

"Do I need to lie to you about this."

"Alright! But if all of this can really be connected, then your Gaia God Department is really a bit amazing, and the strength of that Earth Mother Goddess is probably much beyond my expectations..."

Chen Sheng stared at her for another two more seconds, and then retracted his gaze thoughtfully.

He couldn't tell what level Athena's world belonged to in the multiverse.

At that time, he had not yet obtained the Stone of Self, and his understanding of the multiverse was only at the level of a fragmented arcane mage.

He had ignored this idea before, but now it seemed that if Gaia's strength was really strong enough to reach the end of the long river of time and see that his world and even the multiverse were plunged into darkness, then what level of strength was this Earth Mother Goddess?

The pinnacle of cosmic gods?

Thinking of the eyes formed by the convergence of the stars, Chen Sheng felt that perhaps he had underestimated the world where Athena was.

The possibility that a world that can give birth to such a level of existence, that world, will be a large universe, or even a super-large universe, is very high.

The grid of that DC universe world may even be on par with his world.

This can also explain that the difference between that world and what he knows, and even the difference is very large.

"If you really want to know the truth behind the prophecy, you can go to the end of time and see for yourself, but I strongly discourage you, even if you have the ability. My instincts tell me that this must be extremely dangerous! ”

Seeing that Chen Sheng seemed to be in thought, Athena said slowly, and the words in her cold voice were also a lot more serious.

"The Mother Goddess mentioned in the prophecy that you may be a crucial variable in the darkness, so in any case, your safety is very important, because if the eternal night does come, no matter what terrible thing it is, the future you may be one of the keys to fighting it..."

"I'd rather go and see it when you say that."

Chen Sheng's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light.

Take a look at the end of time? It's a good idea, but it's also possible to carry unknown risks.

But he didn't hesitate for long.

Eventually, he felt he should check it out.

While this may lead to unknown risks, the chaos in the timeline is already there, and the presence of an existence like Loki across endless time and space has caused a huge butterfly effect.

However, Chen Sheng felt that all this should not be the worst, as far as the universe he was in was concerned, its strength and solidity could not be caused by simply changing the flow of time to cause collapse or splitting.

Even if it does, there will be a long evolutionary process.

"You're still going?"

Athena seemed to see through Chen Sheng's inner thoughts at a glance.

"Things are already happening, the future is coming every moment, and all we can do is try to take the initiative into our own hands."

Chen Sheng nodded calmly.

"There's no better choice."

“... If I were two thousand years ago, maybe I would have arranged a posthumous reward for you because of your courage. ”

Athena narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked at Chen Sheng with a pair of beautiful eyes, she looked carefully, as if she was seeing him for the first time.

"I'm not the Hercules."

Chen Sheng was dumbfounded, as if he thought of an allusion implied in Athena's words, and shook his head.

"But your words remind me."

He seemed to have something in mind.

"Remind you of what?"

"I think of a person. I guess it's half of my master. ”

Chen Sheng said as if talking to himself.

"Looks like I'm going to have to do some preparation when I go back. After all, this is the end of the long river of time, the end of the prophecy, even if you have the courage, you can't die directly. ”

Athena looked a little puzzled.

"Forget it, let's talk about this topic first."

Chen Sheng said no more and stopped the discussion.

Next, the two almost entered the chatting mode of talking from time to time, chatting without a word, and Chen Sheng probably knew where Athena had gone these days.

It turns out that on the earth of the main universe, there is still a minority group called the 'Eternals'.

These people are not superpowers, nor are they mages or some kind of hidden rare intelligent beings, such as vampires or werewolves.

Behind the Eternals are the cosmic gods.

To be precise, the gods of this universe.

According to Athena, there were gods who visited the earth, created human beings, and shaped the eternal race with their blood, allowing them to stay on the earth to observe the evolution and development of human beings.

Interestingly, the names of these Eternals in human beings are actually taken from Greek mythology.

Of course, perhaps the Greek mythology of the main universe was depicted from these Eternals, but in any case, these Eternals are hidden in human civilization, and they follow the mission given to them by their Creator, never interfering in the natural evolution of human civilization, leaving only some mysterious legends between regions, all the way... Thanos snapped his fingers and woke them from their slumber.

"So you found these Eternals and searched for them?"

Chen Sheng touched his chin and spoke.

Is there another fake Athena on this earth?

However, it doesn't seem to be a complete fake, and if the Eternals are human observers who have been molded by the gods of the universe with blood to remain on Earth, then it is not an exaggeration to say that they have the qualities of gods.

"That's right, in my contact with the Eternals, I found an ancient temple by chance, and I got a 'fire' that a cosmic god once left on this planet I don't know how many thousands of years ago."

"This kind of fire, once the 'source liquid' of the evolution of life, was transformed by a wisp of origin of the gods of the universe, I absorbed this fire, and now I am even more powerful than Zeus."

Athena replied calmly, not looking a little proud.

In fact, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, was born with billions of golden rays, she was the prophesied son of the gods, the next generation of new god-kings who overthrew Zeus, and had infinite potential. Zeus once swallowed her before she was born because he was afraid of prophecy, but he didn't expect Athena to finally jump out of Zeus's head, radiant and graceful.

If it weren't for the irreparable injuries that the True Spirit had suffered, she would have surpassed Zeus in strength in the past few hundred years and become the most powerful of the fourth generation of Olympian gods.

At the beginning, I am afraid that Zeus was afraid that her growing power would overtake him sooner or later, so he provoked this father-daughter battle under the pretext of rebellion and severely injured her.
