"Athena is a very tricky goddess, and she also has a deep relationship with Medusa."

Ganji continued to speak.

"In mythology, Perseus is the hero who hit Medusa, and he was guided and sheltered by Athena to hit Medusa."

Medusa is a kind of enchantress with snake hair that turns into stone if you look at her.

In mythology, Perseus cut off Medusa's head and dedicated it to Athena.

This became the relationship between Medusa and Athena, and the head of Medusa has been in Athena's possession ever since.

In mythology, Athena is a goddess wearing battle armor, holding a scepter and shield, and on her shield of power, there is a portrait of Medusa.

Medusa stayed by Athena's side in this way.

It's not so much a partnership as a very special kind of alliance.

And in the mythology of northern Africa, Medusa is not a monster, but the origin of the goddess of the earth.

"Hey, this is just a means to fight against the alien gods, and the alien gods appear in the form of monsters in the native mythology."

When he said that Medusa was a goddess, he sighed.

Ace nodded, this is a normal thing.

There are too many countries in this world, and there are many nationalities.

Even the inhabitants of a country will have different religious beliefs because of different regions.

It is not inconceivable to deliberately denigrate the myths of other religions in order to strengthen one's own religious adherents.

Even because of religious issues, there are even armed conflicts in many countries of the world.

To put it more simply, China uses the dragon as a totem and beliefs, while in some European countries, the dragon is regarded as an evil monster.

Although the Chinese believe that Western dragons are not worthy of being called dragons, they are just a group of pot-bellied lizards.

But the insinuations in it are understood.

"Not only that, but in addition to Medusa, there are many goddesses who are related to Athena."

"A lot?" Yuri was a little surprised.

"Yes, on the Mediterranean coast such as southern Europe, northern Africa, Turkey and Syria, there are countless goddesses with the same name as Athena.

There are Athena, Yatana, Yatona, Yanata......

There are also deities such as Asherat, Aset, Ath-Enna, and so on.

There is also the god Baal, whose sister is named Anat, who also has the goddess of war. ”

Hearing Gansu's words, in Youli's mind, the ability of spiritual vision continued to string together information.

The sister/daughter/wife of the Lord God, King of the Gods.

Goddess of War / Goddess of Serpents / Goddess of Life.

Also, in mythology, Athena is the embodiment of an owl.

The owl is known as the unlucky bird of darkness in mythology, representing bad luck.

Of course, it is also known as a symbol of wisdom, and the owl is very closely related to the snake in mythology. ”

"Messenger of Darkness!" Yuri looked at the spreading darkness, and his expression became solemn.

"That's right, according to the information I just received, Athena is moving from the Chiba region to the center of the city at high speed, moving while spreading the darkness, and summoning a large number of owls, just like a typhoon."

"The other party's goal is very clear, which is to follow the breath of the Gorgon Stone and keep moving forward."

Yuri spoke, her vision constantly giving her instructions.

Although they couldn't see each other's figures, they could still feel each other's breath and voices approaching.

"Where darkness passes, it swallows up all light." Gan Ji took out his lighter and lit it, but it only dimmed between breaths.

"Will all the power of light be swallowed up?" Esther's eyes flickered, "What a powerful dark force. ”

Gods do not exist in the true sense of the word, but are born from ancient times to the present, when human beings have continuously given names and myths to them.

Powerful gods threaten humanity, but they also bestow blessings on humanity, which is a very special kind of coexistence.

Originally, there were no gods on the earth, but it was humans who discovered the existence of "gods" and feared the wrath of the gods by winds or floods, and the dangerous and powerful beasts as the incarnation of gods. And worship.

Over time, humans have given names and invented all sorts of myths to give them.

Such as: the creator god of the earth, Eru (El),

Ogmios, God of the Battlefield,

Artemis (Artemis), the goddess of abundance.

Ogoun, the god of struggle and forging.

It is the god of berserkers and the god of destruction, and Tezcatlipoca (Tezcatlipoca).

Another example is the wanderer Susanoo who chases Takamagahara in Japanese mythology.

Vishnu with twelve incarnations.

Such star-like gods were created by human beings.

"Fortunately, Athena's dark realm has only swallowed the light, and there are no casualties so far."

Erica spoke slowly.

"This is also normal, after all, although Athena ignores humans, she is also a god close to humans, but it is not a way to go on for a long time, after all, humans are used to light, and darkness will inevitably cause chaos.

In addition, if you are shrouded in the dark realm of Athena for a long time, you will also be affected by divine powers, and it is easy to breed negative emotions. ”

Esther spoke slowly, "Okay, let's leave the mythology class like this for the time being, I'll go first." ”

After saying this, Esther headed towards the confines of the Dark Realm.

"I've also passed, after all, this is a difficult goddess, and my strength can at least help Esther." Goto moved his body, "You guys find a safe place. ”

"Be careful." Erica said worriedly.

"Don't worry, I've also gone through Esther's harsh training"

With a smile on his face, Godo made a strong gesture, "And, there's Esther there."

I'm just going to make soy sauce. ”

After saying this, Godo rushed in the direction where Esther had left.

……

Esther walked down the darkened street, looking up at the stars in the sky, casting a faint halo of light.

As a godkiller, although he is also human, his eyes are not affected by the darkness, and he can clearly see everything around him.

Esther stopped, and the figure of the guardian appeared beside him.

"Aster, what now?" There is no nonsense, and the guard asks directly.

"Let's lead Athena away first, our battle can't be put on the block, otherwise there will be no fewer casualties."

Esther said, then looking into the depths of the darkness, she knew that Athena was there.

"Remember where the sea is?"

"You want to put the battle on the sea."

Godo was surprised for a moment, but quickly realized that the whole of Japan was not suitable as a battlefield, so the sea was indeed more suitable, even if it caused a tsunami, it was enough to quickly evacuate the residents.

The economic losses are better than the casualties.

"But how do you get Athena away?"

Esther didn't speak, but took out the Gorgon Stone, "How about this bait?" ”

Esther smiled lightly, and so did Godo, yes, they have the Stone of Gorgon, and as long as they have this, then Athena will inevitably follow them.

The shrine is not nonsense, and according to the surrounding buildings, the direction of the sea is quickly determined.

……

Snake

Athena stopped, she felt the breath of the snake, it was very clear, not as illusory as before, this time she felt that the snake was very real.

"Is it a godslayer?"

Athena spoke slowly, and the snake was moving rapidly, in the direction of the sea, "Do you want to put the battlefield on the sea?" ”

Athena turned around and headed in the direction of the Serpent.

No matter where she is, as long as it is in the dark night, she has absolute power.

"This time, the concubine will not lose again. Godslayer"

Above the sea, Esther and Godo waited quietly.

Neither of them spoke, and tension permeated between them.

Of course, the main thing is that the guards are nervous, after all, the god they will face is not a small role.

Suddenly, Esther looked into the distance, and Godo also felt it, the aura that belonged to the old enemy.

Athena walked towards them.

"Meet again, Estrelnor the Godslayer and Kusanagi Godo the Godslayer." Athena stopped not far from the two of them, and greeted them with a ladylike and noble gesture.

"Knowing that we are using the Stone of Gorgon as bait, you still come over to take a look, you are quite confident in your own strength!"

Esther sighed quietly, "Although I really don't want to be your enemy, but to the point where I am today, I can only continue to fight." ”

"This time, the concubine will not lose again." Athena spoke slowly, and I have to say that Athena's voice is really good.

"Guardian!" Esther spoke, his voice faint.

Hutang nodded, and his figure flashed, and he appeared in the distance.

This position allows him to clearly see the battle between the two without interfering in their fight.

Esther took the Stone of Gorgon in his hand, "Athena, if you want to get the Stone of Gorgon back, then win me!" ”

After saying that, as soon as he flipped his hand, the Stone of Gorgon, which stiffened, withdrew into the space.

"As you wish," Athena said softly, and suddenly, the darkness became even deeper.

Esther narrowed her eyes slightly, and in an instant, her body reacted, moving quickly in the air.

Snakes that were pitch black, as if condensed from the darkness, burst out of the darkness and bit Esther one by one.

Esther's body, like a butterfly, dances among the snakes, and with a graceful posture, dodging the attacks of the snakes.

Esther landed on the surface of the sea, and at the moment it fell, a huge shadow rushed out of the sea, gulped wide, and swallowed Esther directly.

But the next moment, the big black snake was directly shattered, and even the surrounding darkness was shattered.

Rumble~

With a bang, even the space was penetrated, and Esther's figure rushed towards him like a sharp arrow.

Athena's expression was indifferent, and her body did not move, but the people around her were dark, and they did turn into countless snakes to block Aster, and at the same time Athena made a gesture of pulling a bow.

Then he let go, and a pitch-black beam of light, with the breath of death, shot straight at Esther's face.

The speed was so fast that when Esther reacted, he had already appeared in front of him.

In the hand that appeared in Gange, the dry wave of his right hand collided with the black light, and suddenly, the black light was repulsed and shot in two directions.

At the same moment, Ge stood in front of him.

Rumble~

Serpents descend and drown out Esther's figure.

The look of the guardian in the distance became nervous, and soon his expression relaxed.

A figure had appeared above Athena's head, it was Esther, and the weapon in her hand had fallen heavily.

Athena raised her hands, and a black hole appeared above her head.

Esther didn't stop, but the weapon was confused and fluorescent.

Rumble~

There was a loud bang, and the black hole collided together, and the huge sound shook the sea water continuously.

The fight between the black hole and Esther was only a stalemate for a moment, and then it was directly crushed, and the power of the fight still fell.

But this moment of time also gave Athena the initial follow-up action, and the rapid retreat of her body widened the distance between her and Esther.

Esther raised her head, turned into a golden spear, and threw it out casually.

The effect of "Pursuit" is activated, directly stabbing Athena's body, and the effect of "Knockback" is also activated, and the spear falls into the sea with Athena's body.

Before Esther could breathe a sigh, a huge snake's tail jerked at him.

With great force, Esther drifted directly on the sea.

It drifted straight for kilometers before it stopped, but a huge dark shadow polycrystalline hung over his head.

Rumble~

With a loud bang, the sea water swelled and turned into a monstrous wave.

In the middle of the sea, Athena has been waiting here for a long time, at this time she is already in the posture of a human head and a snake body, the snake tail that looks very soft and delicate, but has a sharpness stronger than any divine weapon.

Without biting and blocking, he directly pierced Esther's body.

As a godkiller's body, it did not block the sharpness of Athena's tail in the slightest.

Athena looked at the seriously injured Esther, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she seemed to be in a good mood.

But soon he sensed that something was wrong, the seriously injured Esther, without the slightest change in breath, and most importantly, Esther did not shed blood.

Even if he becomes a god killer, he is still a human being, and he will bleed if he is injured.

"Did you find out?" Esther smiled lightly, "It's a pity it's late." ”

Athena's expression changed, but just as Esther had said, she realized it was too late.

Behind her, another Esther appeared and kicked her soft waist.

A mouthful of blood spat out of Athena's mouth, and her body was kicked out of the sea under this force.

Esther, who had been impaled by Athena, disappeared in a moment of distortion.

This is the effect of the power of space, to put it simply, it is just a projection made by Esther with the power of space.
