Chapter 1185: Goddess Athena
Off the coast of the Kingdom of Colchis, two goddesses who are famous in the Olympian god system look at each other in the air without giving in, and the divine power released in the form of coercion alone causes the surrounding sea water to be displaced, forming a huge wave that can sweep people into it and spread around. The collision of divine power and divine power caused the atmosphere to explode like thunder, and the conflict between the two highest goddesses of the Olympian god system even caused an unnatural huge vortex to faintly produce in the sky.
The slender jade arm that does not resemble a warrior holds the spear that governs the war, and the bronze shield that the left hand holds has a smoothness similar to that of a mirror. However, in the center of the mirror-like shield was a female head with snake hair, but the shield held by this main god was particularly terrifying. Although the bronze armor in the Olympian style is not a heavy armor to protect the vital points of the body, because its light weight parts do not affect the movement, it is just right for the fighting style of the female god of war. Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war, who has been passed down in countless civilizations because of the influence of the Great Ritual of Mythology, is comparable to or even superior to the god-king Zeus in the mythology of later generations.
However, if the heavily armed Athena is a god comparable to Zeus, then what about the god Qi who fought against Athena without even being armed? Even the sun that radiated all the time in the sky had faintly lost its brilliance, and three pairs of deep purple winged wings spread out from behind Shen Qi, greedily absorbing the energy contained in the atmosphere and transforming it into magic for use against the enemy. Even if she can't use her divine power to drive the divine power to fight because of herself, she can release it with only the magic power accumulated in her body, and Athena, who is facing Shen Qi head-on, feels the pressure rushing towards her like an invincible tsunami.
"Hekata, the god of magic! We haven't seen you for many years since you left Olympus, but after hundreds of years in the wilderness of Colchis, your momentum has not weakened! ”
Athena's understanding of Shenqi was limited to the past when Shenqi was active as Hecate, and Shenqi, who used both divine power and magic as a source of power, had to use magic to deal with Athena's temptation even though he now needed to maintain the existence of another dimension. The mere release of the mana from the body caused a celestial anomaly, and the almost succubus's mana reserves, combined with more than a hundred years of studying magic, made Shenqi's practice of using only magic power have an unexpected effect.
'In the face of me, who is the same as Zeus, I didn't panic at all, and I can match my power with magic alone!? ’
Athena's surprise was not because she was unheard, but because Athena was confident enough in her own strength, that is, she could not lose to any of the twelve main gods of Olympus, even Zeus, Hades and Poseidon, who defeated the second god king Kronos.
Most of the god-kings of each god-king are also the most comprehensive individuals in the god-system, but due to the frequent replacement of god-kings in the Olympus god system compared to other god systems, the god-king Zeus does not have an overwhelming power advantage over other Olympian gods. In order to make up for the shortcomings of his own thin foundation, Zeus once took advantage of the unsuspecting moment of his wife Metis to kill and swallow her belly, trying to devour the main god-level gods to strengthen himself. As for the result, Zeus had a headache for several days, and he had to cut open the skull, so that Athena, the incarnation of Metis, was born. And this issue that will affect the survival of the Olympian god system is that under the command of Zeus, it became the prophecy that 'Metis will give birth to a male heir who will destroy the existing Olympus god line', and the divine power released by Athena at birth has the same strength as Zeus, so he can barely explain the death of Metis to the gods.
Athena, who was born at the moment of Mertis's death, received protective armor and spears from the beginning, and Athena, who embodies the god of war, played a decisive role in battles such as fighting against Typhon, a monster that threatened the rule of the Olympian gods, and attacking the Titan of Mount Olympus. And what about the experience of Hecate, the god of magic? It is nothing more than the work of mediating the relationship between the gods and making the internal development of the gods stable. For example, not long ago, when solving the problem between Persephone and Hades, the queen of the underworld, Hekate handled it in a perfect way to avoid a head-on battle between the main god-level gods in the god system. However, the experiences of the two gods are contrasted, with Hekate ostensibly avoiding participation in the battle as much as possible, while Athena appears as the main force in any confrontation for the survival of the gods. Even if she learned from Zeus that Hekat was not as weak as she appeared on the surface, Athena still didn't think that the other party could compete with her head-on, at most it was more difficult in the other's faith area.
'However, using only magic to fight against me is not too much to underestimate me as one of the main gods of Olympus! ’
Moving the mirror-smooth round shield in front of her to cover most of her torso, and holding the spear in her right hand to infuse divine power, there is no doubt that Athena regards Shenqi, who now only shows magical powers, as an equal or even stronger enemy than herself. As long as Shenqi strikes at Athena first, Athena will be able to kill Shenqi on the grounds that she violated the Olympian gods and forbade them to attack each other.
"Athena, you have come all the way for the continuation of the Olympus god system, and you have specially prepared a banquet for you, and please go to the temple of me, the god of magic, to rest for a while!"
"Huh!? You... ”
For a moment, Athena's brain stopped functioning instantly because she heard words that she had not expected. But as the god of wisdom, Athena immediately began to think about the means involved in the invitation of the gods. The easiest way to do this was undoubtedly to poison the food at the banquet, a common assassination method used by humans under Athena's administration. But counting on the toxin to have an effect on the gods, unless the gods about the toxins have a secret pact with the gods, Athena does not think that the poison created by the technology of the gods may harm the main god-level herself.
'Probably the wine brewed by the god of wine was prepared at the banquet, and it was a fine wine that made the gods feel drunk... Then suddenly attack me or activate the trap set up in the temple, and if I am hit, even I will die. However, I'm not an irrational beast, and the trap you've set will do to me, I'd like to see what the god of magic can hide under the eyes of the god of wisdom! ’
As for the possibility of being lured to the temple by Shen Qi to kill, Athena did not think that with Shen Qi's strength, she could instantly kill a god-king level existence in a short period of time. Moreover, Operation Argo is related to the survival of the Olympian god system, and Athena is just the main force to protect the Argo on the surface. As for the gods hiding behind the scenes, if they find that Athena is threatened, they will definitely go to the direction where the two sides are fighting.
“。。。 Alright, Hecate, I hope you will come up with a preparation worthy of my praise at the banquet, and don't let me down! ”
