There was the sound of light footsteps.
In this pitch-black world where they couldn't even see their fingers, it seemed particularly obvious, as if there was a person walking towards them in the vast darkness with a clear purpose.
The source of the sound was very clear, and it seemed that the person who came had no intention of hiding it.
I don’t know if it’s because I have arrogant confidence in myself, or because I feel there’s no point in hiding it.
"...!!"
Emilia, who was worried and uneasy, suddenly felt a chill in her heart when she heard the sound of footsteps. She turned her head and stared closely in the direction over there.
It's just because the visibility is so bad, and she doesn't have any fixed spell effects or items that "increase vision" on her body, so she can only hear the sound, but can't see the specific situation at all. This made the brave girl couldn't help clenching her fists tightly, feeling helpless and helpless in the dark space.
Of course, there is no way to avoid this.
After all, even Erica, who still retains her normal combat power, feels like she is getting hairy deep in her heart at this moment. There is no sense of security at all in this dark realm... Speaking of which, human beings are originally obsessed with the night. The fear comes from the instinctive fear of the dark.
It’s just that with the progress of the times and the development of technology——
Human civilization has prospered and is able to create things that can illuminate the surroundings even at night.
Believing in civilization and enlightenment gradually eliminated the non-scientific world as superstition. But this does not mean that the instincts engraved deep in the genes have disappeared. It's just that people are accustomed to a world with light, and the fear of darkness is temporarily forgotten...
So now, surrounded by unusual stillness and silence, and completely plunged into the depths of darkness, this profound instinct has returned along with the ancient memories.
"Stop...who are you!!"
Erica stood in front of him without hesitation. Erica forced herself to calm down. While thinking about the strategy, she spoke in a deep voice as if facing a formidable enemy. At the same time, she also assumed a defensive posture, holding the steel sword symbolizing the Lionheart King horizontally in front of her so that she could flexibly confront the enemy at any time.
Although strictly speaking, the girl is not a pure magician, but a person with special abilities who calls herself a "knight" and practices martial arts and magic at the same time.
But in this case, it is actually more advantageous.
Because compared to magicians who specialize in magic, knights also need to study sword, gun and sword skills and hone their physical abilities, so the corresponding physical fitness will naturally be more advanced, including sensory perception, etc., will be correspondingly sharper.
Sound, light, smell molecules, air vibrations...
To put it bluntly, the essence of the five senses is to receive these external information.
The sharper and more powerful the senses are, the more they can handle and the more information they can acquire. Things that normal people can't do, she can do easily and casually, such as being able to sense the flow of wind, and relying on the shock wave feedback from the ground to detect the surroundings like a radar——
It is feasible to listen to the voice and argue the position, and to act according to the wind.
Therefore, in a dark environment where it is completely impossible to see anything, it can still maintain the strength to fight without being completely helpless.
Of course, this is said, but it cannot change the objective fact that humans are visual animals. At least 80% of all kinds of information perceived from the outside world need to be obtained through vision... So the impact must be influential, especially The opponent is also not an ordinary person, and is still using the power of God to ambush.
The next moment, it seemed that Erica's stop drinking had an effect——
The footsteps stopped without warning.
The owner of the footsteps did not show up.
No, it should be said that they have already appeared, but they are unable to see them at all in the dark realm. It was obvious that the sound was not far away, only about ten meters away, but I couldn't see it, not even a vague outline.
Erica pursed her lips and suddenly panicked, because she found that she had suddenly lost her lock on the enemy. When the opponent came over just now, she could still clearly grasp the distance between the two parties. The slight movement of the ground Vibrations, subtle changes in air flow, as well as the source, size and distance of the sound...
But after the other party stopped, all this disappeared immediately.
The completely dark world became quiet, just like her sense of direction, and the sense of distance disappeared in an instant - there was no change, no reference, even the real sense of time was fading and disappearing, in a trance. During this time, only the depression and fear of darkness gradually grew in my heart.
"..."
"..."
Quiet, silent, dead silence.
A certain depressive atmosphere spread silently in the air, as if it turned into an invisible big hand, grabbing their hearts bit by bit, and still tightening it bit by bit.
"Who is this concubine? Haha..."
I don’t know how long it took, maybe it was a moment, maybe it was a whole century, and that slightly childish and joyful laughter came. While breaking the silence, he did not answer, but went straight to the point and asked a meaningful question.
"Zeus! Don't you have anything to say?"
"..."
"..."
There was another brief silence.
——Zeus...
——Why is it called this again...
Erica was stunned for a moment, and then her face became strange again. She naturally knew who the female voice in the darkness was talking to.
Although this was not the first time, however... when she encountered such a thing again, she still felt very messy and had a strong sense of unreality. She subconsciously looked back at someone and thought Let's see how he explains it.
The girl couldn't help but wonder, this person really didn't know——
Or is he really hiding something intentionally or unintentionally?
There can't be any reason why the other party is just fixated on him, right? Such low-level mistakes as picking the wrong person should not be made by someone who can use the "power of God" as a trump card, and should not be repeated over and over again.
"I'm not! I didn't! Stop talking nonsense!"
Gu Mo quickly came up with a series of denials. He shook his head repeatedly and said in an extremely firm tone: "You really have the wrong person. I am not Zeus... I never have been. My surname is Gu and my name is Gu Mo. , it’s been this name since birth.”
He spoke quickly and urgently, and his words were very sincere, making people subconsciously think that he was telling the truth.
This is indeed the truth. It does not require the power of the God of Lies to cover up or mislead. Every word is true.
only--
"Hmph...how could I admit my mistake!"
The female voice with a somewhat immature feeling immediately snorted, obviously not believing his excuse at all, and there was even a hint of gnashing of teeth in her tone, she just didn't say a word, even if the other party turned into ashes, she would be dead. I can recognize it.
Because Athena can directly feel it, after all, the source of "godhead" is enough to prove everything - the so-called godhead, the knight is the "ID card" of the god, a concept that clearly has margins but cannot be touched, seems to include everything, and There seems to be nothing, it can be said that it is just a collection of myths about that god.
And in Athena's induction, there was a part in that collection that should have belonged to her, but was taken away by Zeus...
This is more convincing than anything else!
If this guy is not Zeus, how should all this be explained? !
So, how could she believe that she had the wrong person? ! No matter how much you argue, it's useless!
The current figure is like a little silver-haired lolita-like Athena, standing in the dark night, her indifferent yet vigilant eyes penetrating the darkness as thick as ink without any obstacles. The goddess stared closely at the young man opposite, but she also had certain doubts and vigilance.
She really wanted to take back everything she had, but she also didn't think that with her current state, she could defeat Zeus head-on.
However, fortunately, the other party's situation doesn't seem to be very good...
There is nothing wrong with the proof of godhead, but this person does not have any aura of strength or authority on his body, just like an ordinary person - to be honest, if she had not sensed this, Athena would not have chosen to attack so decisively. She had enough reason to think that Zeus was also in a bad situation now.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it may very well be my only chance!
"You two can leave, just leave that man to me, and I won't embarrass you."
The thought flashed through her mind, and the silver-haired Loli spoke calmly.
Emilia's heart skipped a beat and she blurted out without thinking:
"Impossible!"×2
The voices of girls with different styles overlapped, but Erica on the other side also flatly refused at the same time, and then the two looked at each other subconsciously. Although the darkness was still there and they couldn't see each other's expressions clearly, that was not important anymore.
From each other's categorical and unthinking words, one thing can be determined, that is, they are undoubtedly very similar on the inside.
Neither the brave lady, who is known as the saint, nor the knight girl who adheres to the spirit of chivalry can accept this.
How could he just give in and hand over his companion obediently! They can't do it!
"How stupid!"
Gently uttering this word, Athena, as the goddess of wisdom, gave this evaluation.
The next moment, the dark wind blew!
The temperature in the dark realm dropped sharply, like the roaring north wind whistling on the frozen soil that never melts all year round!
This also means that Athena will reveal her true nature, which she has been carefully hiding until now and will not show off to others easily. This is the godhead that was liberated from the realm of immortality, took on flesh on earth, completed its manifestation, and became a god.
It is the shadow of God projected onto the earth from mythology!
He is also a disobedient god who goes against the myth and wanders around the world!
