The three of Shanaido return to Esther.

"It's hard work, let's go back first."

Esther said three.

The three of Shanaiduo nodded and returned to the elven world.

Esther looked at Shanaido's helmet, "Is this a prop that can summon Athena?" ”

Then he chuckled, put away his helmet, and give it back to the other party next time we meet!

Esther turned around, and a black sedan was parked directly on the shore.

Godo, Erica, and Anna got out of the car.

Anna's expression was indifferent, while Godo and Erica looked wrong.

Esther returned to shore from the sea, and was greeted by Erica and Godo, who had breathed a sigh of relief.

"Esther!" Erica spoke, "Just ......"

"Well, I met Athena, and the other party had a simple fight, and it was indeed a very difficult opponent." Esther said, "Go back first, we'll talk about the details later, and inform Yuri separately to discuss how to deal with Athena."

Erica, you prepare some information about Athena, know yourself and your opponent, and only then can you win a hundred battles. ”

Esther pulled the car door straight and went inside.

Erica and Gotang's faces changed, and there was a hint of helplessness in their eyes.

"Miss, Lord Gotang, Lord Esther, please sit down!"

Anna sat in the cab with a light in her eyes.

With a buzzing sound, the car sped straight away.

Soon after, they were on the highway and weaving back and forth in traffic.

Godo and Erika's faces were slightly pale, even though they knew that Anna was very skilled and would not have a car accident, but they were still thrilling.

Esther, on the other hand, had a big face, her eyes closed, recalling the fight with Athena.

……

"It's astounding to Lord Esther's strength!" In the living room, several people sat on the sofa.

The one who made the surprised voice was Anna, who was standing behind Erica.

In addition to Anna, there were also Esther, Erica, Godo, and Yuri.

Hutang and Erica are huddled on a sofa, and their movements are very intimate.

Esther and Anna can already ignore it directly, but Yuri can't, but maybe it's because he's very adaptable, maybe it's Esther's words in the morning, even if he's dissatisfied, Yuri doesn't speak.

"Esther repelled Athena, but with the character of the goddess, she would inevitably spy in the shadows, and whenever she came to take the Stone of Gorgon, it was possible.

Moreover, the next goodbye will inevitably face an even more powerful goddess.

We need to sit down and be fully prepared. ”

"Erica, tell me what you know about Athena.

Whether it's me or the killer move of the guard, I need to carefully understand the goddess Athena. ”

Erica nodded, although he didn't know what Esther's killing move was, he knew about the guard.

"Honorific Title, Your Will!" Erica also became serious, and her eyes thought for a moment, "Let's start with Athena's birth over there!" Like who is Athena's mother? And the relationship between Athena and Medusa? ”

In Greek mythology, Athena's mother was named Metis, the goddess of wisdom and the first wife of Zeus.

But the relationship between Zeus and Metis was not a good one.

There is a saying that Metis was raped by Zeus, who was incarnated as a fly, before becoming pregnant with Athena.

To put it bluntly, for Zeus, Metis was just a tool to vent his desires.

But in order to maintain the image and reputation of Zeus, he had to marry Metis.

After learning that Metis was pregnant, Gaia and Ouranos made a prophecy that if Metis was pregnant with a boy, his taste buds would inevitably surpass Zeus and become the true king of the gods. ”

However, Zeus is not a god of affection and righteousness, even if Metis has his own child in his belly, he has no emotion.

Afraid of Metis's children, afraid of being surpassed by the other party.

Zeus swallowed the mother and son of Metis into his belly, wanting to destroy them, and at the same time wanted to absorb the wisdom and authority of Metis for his own use.

Zeus succeeded, but also failed.

Metis died, but Athena was born from the brain of Zeus and inherited the wisdom and authority of Metis. ”

Godo's eyes flickered, and Urus Ragnar's tenth incarnation, the Golden Sword, was radiating light.

The condition for the use of this power is knowledge, and only with sufficient knowledge can we have the power to kill all powerful enemies.

"Athena was born at the same time as her mother, Metis, and died.

In many myths, it is said that Metis and her children were actually dead.

Athena is the goddess of the wisdom authority of Metis, and is herself the embodiment of wisdom.

Therefore, metis means 'wise' in Greek, which is also the etymology of the word medusa. ”

metis with medusa.

These two words have the same meaning, and both are the names of the goddesses that are deeply associated with Athena.

"After Medusa Athena descended on the earth, she had an incarnation that seemed to be transformed to punish the enemy, and there are myths that Athena rebelled against Zeus, was punished by Zeus, and turned into a snake-haired monster on the earth.

But it's just a few words, and I haven't found the specifics. ”

Metis, Medusa, and Athena are the constituent structure of the Trinity.

Esther somewhat understood, Medusa represents the snake, then Metis probably represents wisdom, so what does Athena represent?

Also, Esther feels that the "snake" is not so simple, in the legend, the Ouroboros that bites its own tail and constantly devours and regenerates, Jörmungard is also the belonging of the "snake".

Night, darkness, moon, and stars all over the night sky at the same time, this is Athena's favorite time zone.

However, to Athena's slight dissatisfaction, the night of this era was too bright.

The night is filled with all kinds of light created by human beings, and even at night, the stars in the sky cannot fall.

Athena walks in this human city full of hypocritical light.

Mankind's fear of darkness began not in this era, but from a long time ago.

It looks like she's taking a walk, but she's so fast that humans can't catch it.

Her goal is also very clear, which is the Stone of Gorgon, and she will continue to move forward with that nostalgic atmosphere.

Athena continued along the coastal road, and the snake's aura grew stronger.

The time of resurrection is near.

A smile could not help but appear on Athena's face.

Even though the people who passed by on the way stared at her with a kind of fascination, Athena didn't care.

It is a matter of course that people gaze at God.

It is a matter of course for people to worship God and take refuge in God's name.

It is natural for people to pray to God for their blessings.

It is a matter of course that people lose themselves, fall into madness, and behave out of order when they encounter a disobedient god who lives on the ground.

It wasn't worth stopping or showing the slightest concern.

Athena doesn't care about humans, just as humans don't care about ants on the ground.

Athena's eyes flickered, thinking of Esther, if the other party was here, maybe she would bet on the meaning of the existence of the two sides to fight!

Lost to Esther during the day, no, just when she felt defeated, Athena followed her wits and chose to evacuate temporarily.

Knowing that she is invincible, she still has to fight hard, that is really unwise, as the goddess of wisdom, Athena does not allow herself to do such unwise behavior.

Since her arrival, Athena has also encountered many godkillers.

The Godslayers are a very special group.

Beyond the impossible, even the gods killed humanity.

Demon King, Rakshasa Rakshasa , Devil, Fallen Angel, Chaos King, God Killer.

This is the title given to the godslayer.

However, unlike the godkillers he had seen before, Estrelor, a man who wanted to live in peace with his old enemies, was somewhat amusing.

And obviously just killed a disobedient god (the divine beast was not regarded as the same kind by Athena), and it had such a powerful strength.

If you defeat it, you may not need to be afraid of other god killers!

Athena thought so.

Athena's mood was a little happy, and the careful thoughts that had been hidden until now were released again.

Today's human world really makes her very uncomfortable.

Athena walked at a leisurely pace, through the city at night.

Every time she took a step forward, every time she exhaled, a light went out of the city.

The first is that the streetlights have lost their light.

Then there are houses, offices, complexes, shops, izakayas, neon signs, car lights, and even flashlights or small light bulbs.

All artificial glow is gone.

The light of hypocrisy vanished, and the true darkness descended upon the earth once more.

The darkness has reached the point where you can't see clearly even if you stretch out your fingers in front of you.

Finding something unusual, there is only endless darkness in the sight of humans, and panic inevitably spreads among humans.

Athena looked at her masterpiece with a hint of pleasure on her face, and darkness was the environment that could bring her comfort.

"I am Athena, commanded by Athena, my true name, that night fall here, to cast out the sun for favor and to extinguish the fire of Prometheus.

The sky is full of stars and dark winds, so let's recreate the ancient night here! ”

Athena chanted as she moved forward.

Tightly the arrival of night, how can Athena as a trinity be satisfied.

Yes, she is not satisfied, and retrieving the snake is the most important thing in her life.

He is Athena, the god of disobedience, who belongs to the god of the earth and darkness.

The darkness is deep, and the night that swallows the light has come, so the next thing is to let the strong smell of the earth, the abundant life revive on this land.

"O the Stone of Gorgon that I have asked for! Athena will reclaim the ancient serpent tonight! ”

Singing softly, Athena's words echoed in the night, and in the night, black shadows rushed out and flew, it was the shadow of a bird, no, it was an owl, and the Holy Spirit was still indomitable in the night.

Athena raised her head and looked into the distance, then, O god killer, how do you deal with it?

……

The city's functions were completely paralyzed.

Naturally, this anomaly attracted the attention of the local transcendent organizations in Japan.

At this time, it was only nine o'clock in the evening, and there were still pedestrians on the streets, and suddenly darkness descended, causing mankind to fall into fear and unease.

Anger, turmoil, embarrassment, confusion, distress......

Humans can't be blamed, after all, humans who are accustomed to light will behave like this when they are suddenly swallowed up by darkness.

Of course, if you stay calm, you can quickly adapt to the darkness and merge with the humans around you.

At least living in groups can banish humanity from some uneasiness and panic.

"That's pretty impressive!" Esther sighed as she looked at the darkness that continued to erode the world.

"Athena in the dark night, her strength seems to have become much stronger!"

At Esther's side, Godo, Erica, Yuri, and a frivolous young man, Gan Meal Winter Horse.

While Esther and the others were learning everything about Athena, the member of the Chronicles Committee called and said that Athena's mother had been found and needed to be dealt with by Esther and Godo.

So they came together here.

"The dark realm, it's really different, I didn't expect Athena to have such a troublesome godhead."

Erica frowned, it was clear that she hadn't thought of that either.

"You also said that Athena violated her myth and became a god of disobedience in order to rebel against Zeus.

And Zeus is the lord of the sky, perhaps in Athena's opinion, only darkness can swallow the sky! ”

Esther opened his mouth lightly, and with a wave of his hand, the Stone of Gorgon appeared in his hand, "I originally thought it was just a snake god or something like a disobedient god, but I didn't expect it to have something to do with Athena." ”

"Indeed, if it weren't for the inspiration of the Vision, who would have thought that the objects unearthed in Africa would have something to do with the goddess Athena in Greek mythology."

Yuri also opened his mouth with some emotion.

"Miss Yuri is just like a normal Japanese!

Actually, there is no difference at all.

Paratus once said that Athena and the goddess Neith are the same deity! "I remember mentioning it in Timaeus.

Something similar was also written in herodotus.

It roughly means that the stories of Greek mythology are almost all spread and evolved in foreign countries......

In other words, it is most normal to obtain items related to Greek mythology in a foreign land. ”

"Probably that Greek mythology is a patchwork."

Ganji Dongma thought for a moment and added.

"It seems right to say that, the Urus Ragnar I defeated, and the Mercato defeated by Esther, all have similar images in the mythology of other realms."

Godo nodded, agreeing with the words of the winter horse.

"In other words, Athena was born when the African goddess Knight was introduced to Greece."

Yuri was stunned.

"It should be about the same, in short, there are a lot of factors." Ganji nodded.

"Mr. Fuyuma also knows a lot about mythology and history, so let's continue to explain the myth of Athena to us with Erica!" Esther spoke slowly.

"Obey the king." The gandie has also reined in a little frivolousness.
