"You have made such progress in just half a month... You really amaze me."
A voice that couldn't hide her annoyance sounded, and Athena spoke coldly.
The surrounding darkness is constantly surging, like the most loyal guards, loyally guarding their queen.
The breath of cold and death is like the cold wind blowing from the north, blowing the earth for eternity, trying to freeze everything. Silently, the entire forest is covered with frost, and each tree is covered with frost tonight. The lush trees that were still lush before turned into ice sculptures.
——All vitality was lost unconsciously...
——Death and cold solidified their last moments...
——All vitality, regardless of plant or animal life, disappears, not even microorganisms and bacteria can escape...
All things in the world are inherently unequal, and only death has always been equal.
However, the area close to the lake is illuminated by the bright holy light at this moment. The clear holy power is like thousands of sharp swords, shining brightly and easily penetrating the darkness. The breath brings light and warmth, and tenaciously protects this area...
Seeing this scene, Athena's face naturally looked extremely ugly.
The opposition between light and darkness is a law of nature, but it does not prevent her from hating this brilliance as much as she hates the sun. In other words, she hates that her plan failed to be realized as planned and that there were many complications.
The goddess's eyes narrowed slightly, and her snake-like eyes stared closely at the silver-haired girl opposite.
Like a pure angel.
She also looks like a majestic Valkyrie.
Even a goddess can't help but admire such a gesture. Especially in the darkness of the endless night, from the soft silver hair to the slender fingertips, the girl's entire body is emitting pure light, not only on the physical level, but also on the soul level. Up.
Even Athena, this is the first time she has seen a human being with such a radiant and pure soul.
It almost made her doubtful... Is this really a human being?
——After all, it only takes half a month, how can a mortal be transformed?
——During this period of time, did you steal the elixir from the Heavenly Palace or steal the golden apples from the Paradise?
Even the breath difference between before and after was so great that the vertical painting changed as if the painter had changed. Even the goddess of wisdom was not able to immediately connect this girl with flying silver hair and a holy sword in her hand to the girl with long rose-red hair who was struggling to support herself in front of her, unable to parry. .
It's like they are two completely different people.
After identifying it, Athena was naturally shocked.
She just looked at Emilia carefully, and finally couldn't help but said with doubts:
"You...are the Demon King now?!"
It is normal for the goddess to have such doubts. In fact, this kind of leap-forward change in strength is too shocking. If we insist on saying so, there are no such methods and ways in the world, which can allow mortals to obtain the power of gods and noble immortality in a short period of time...
That's right, the only possibility is to become a god-killer.
Just like a dragon slayer bathed in dragon blood, even humans will directly gain the power of the dragon.
If mortals can achieve the miracle of defeating gods, then they can naturally achieve the will of God in a non-god body.
"You!...You are the Demon King!!"
Emilia was originally very calm, but when she heard these words, her hands almost trembled, and she blurted out in embarrassment.
To her, this was probably the most insulting sentence.
——Not really?
The goddess raised her eyebrows. Although she could vaguely sense that the other person's aura did not resemble that of the God Killer, she found it even more difficult to understand. If it weren't for achieving the taboo of killing gods and achieving a leap-forward evolution of life forms through plunder, why would this be?
But without giving her time to think, another change occurred on the battlefield.
On the unknown opposite side, the magic called "GATE" was activated, and another portal slowly opened.
Just like the heroic lady's magical soldiers descended from the sky before, new reinforcements also arrived on the battlefield.
"The Lion of Steel and the Lion-Hearted King as the ancestor - please listen to the oath of the knight Erica Browntree. I am the successor of the Horn Flute, the descendant of the Black Warrior. My heart will not yield, and my sword will never be broken. .”
With a pleasant voice, he sang such words.
Before the person arrived, the spirit of words had already sounded. There was an inexplicable momentum, and the full determination and oath of a knight could be heard from it.
"O King Lionheart, the essence of the struggle is now revealed in my hands. The time for the duel has come, Reinhardt!"
As the last words fell -
Holding the steel sword in her hand tightly and with even firmer determination, Erica took the lead in stepping out of the realm behind the door and arrived at the battlefield where darkness and light struggled to confront each other.
The rules of death and cold came, turning the entire forest into a Hades-like realm. It was like Athena's divine realm was projected onto the human world, overlapping with the physical space in this area... I felt this terrifying pressure and aura again. , the expression of the knight girl suddenly changed slightly.
Erica's face inevitably lost color quickly, and her lips became slightly pale.
But her eyes were bright, as if they were shining with light. There was no longer any wavering, replaced by unparalleled determination and awareness.
"It's rare... to be able to stand in front of me again."
Athena glanced calmly and raised her eyebrows slightly. Compared to Emeralda and others who were walking behind the portal, her eyes still stayed on Erica. The girl in the red suit Standing there so quietly, looking at her without fear.
As the goddess of war in Greek mythology, Athena naturally admires those who risk their lives to fight.
"This is natural. If I shrink back, I will never forgive myself in this life..."
The beautiful blond witch held the magic sword Heart of the Lion King and also smiled. Although her face was slightly pale, her expression was unusually firm, and her eyes were also full of awareness.
It’s not just Emilia who has gained a lot in these half months and regained her strength...
The knight girl's own gains were also huge, so great that even her uncle was shocked.
The supreme commander of the Red Bronze Black Cross, the man with the highest knighthood, originally thought that this trip, his overly proud niece who did not know the heights of the sky would suffer enough setbacks, and more or less what would happen next. Decadent for a while.
However--
The girl was holding her breath. After returning to Italy, she quickly used her authority to mobilize the power of the organization, mobilize the magicians of the association, dispatch people, collect intelligence, and use money to solve problems that could be solved with money. If you seek help through connections, use them decisively...
In short, they acted as quickly as possible, relying on the magic association's intelligence network to search for traces of Athena and Gu Mo all over the world.
In addition, he also worked hard to read those ancient magic books, speculate on the information about Athena in mythology, formulate the next battle plan, try to attract more help... and even waited with Emilia. People are trying to get to the satellite orbit to find the iron sword of the Last King.
She does not deny her powerlessness and faces her own weakness, but this does not prevent her from continuing to challenge as a knight, and she will never give up easily.
There are setbacks, and naturally there are also blows...
Whether it is humiliation or despair, I have tasted it...
The genius witch's self-esteem was shattered once before Kamui...
But these are nothing. When Erica completely crossed her own limits and used her determination and consciousness to fight against the God of Disobedience... it can be said that from that moment on, she has completed her own tempering. On a completely different path.
Stepping over from the portal, in addition to the two members of Emeralda's brave group, there was also a man with a sculpture-like face, full of intellectuality and temperament. His figure can be compared to the statue of David, which is quite perfect. A powerful knight.
——It is Erica’s uncle.
Faced with what happened to his niece, he could not ignore it emotionally or rationally. Although the threat of facing the God of Disobedience was too great, as the commander of magic, he could not call members of the magic association to die for his own selfish purposes, but there was no problem if he just came to help himself.
In fact, this lineup is already very luxurious.
Paul, who originally thought it was very risky, quickly looked at the scene after passing through the portal. He couldn't help showing a look of surprise, and then he couldn't help but feel relieved.
My niece has really grown up this time...
I also met so many like-minded partners...
This is the most precious growth.
"You guys are so courageous... I admire you a little bit, but it's a pity that you have to fight so hard for such a guy. It's really not worth it."
Athena didn't know why, but she seemed very calm. She glanced coldly at the newly arrived reinforcements.
Then her eyes moved and returned to a stinky man who was not ashamed at all and needed protection from women. She suddenly laughed uncharacteristically: "Do you think there is nothing you can do if I am like this? That is too naive... ...No one can stop me from taking back what belongs to me!"
"you……?!"
Amelia raised her eyebrows and immediately became alert.
But unexpectedly, the goddess on the opposite side did not choose to make a surprise attack, nor did she release any powerful move that seemed to destroy the world and destroy the earth.
She just waved slightly, and a large golden urn suddenly appeared next to her.
——It is the Holy Grail of Magic.
"I am the goddess of wisdom with all kinds of wisdom. How could I not be able to master the mechanism of the Holy Grail in half a month?"
Athena snorted disdainfully, and at the same time a subtle smile appeared on her face. The previous anger and impatience could not be seen at all. Instead, there was a full mocking smile, which was almost not written directly on her face. She was acting just now.
"Let me repay you now. I thought I had successfully escaped, but in the end I found that nothing could change my ending. This feeling is definitely enough for you to never forget it after you return to the myth..."
"What are you going to do?!"
A bad premonition appeared in Emilia's heart, and she immediately changed her offensive, wielding the holy sword and pressing forward.
But the darkness kept rolling, and the space seemed to be stretched infinitely.
It's just a short distance, but it's impossible to get close to the past no matter what.
"Oh, the Holy Grail has taken away the lives of several Earth Mother Goddess..."
The childish goddess smiled and winked slyly.
"It can naturally absorb his life. I have already connected his life to the Holy Grail. As long as this path is opened, from now on, no matter how far apart, the power of the Holy Grail will reach the end of time and space. , will continue to absorb his essence."
Although he really didn't realize how this hateful guy hooked up with Guinevere and did some little things under his nose.
But how could Athena be completely unprepared and not consider the worst case scenario in advance.
Therefore, she had been prepared early, and it was absolutely impossible for her not to be on guard against this move. Although she was still a little angry just now, she just wanted to tease the other party... Yes, she just wanted to give the other party a little hope, and then severely extinguished this hope. This was the goddess's revenge.
"Hehehe, taste the humiliation and despair you have inflicted on me, father~ sir~"
With a laugh like a silver bell, Athena said this in a lovely voice, but in obvious contrast to her voice, her expression was cold and ruthless, as if she was delivering some kind of death sentence to the opposite party.
next moment--
As if she had penetrated into the earth, or as if she had evaporated from the air in an instant, this childlike goddess disappeared directly along with the large golden urn.
"Stop!!"×2
Emilia and Erica wanted to stop it, but the storm of intertwined blades shredded the rich darkness in an instant, and the cold light shone through the afterimage. The darkness all faded away, and the light of the stars and the moon fell down, as if the extremely exquisite swords of the two beautiful girls had broken through the realm of the dark night with one blow.
However……
Nothing was left, and the expressions on their faces were very ugly. They knew that Athena had taken the initiative to withdraw from the dark night.
I thought it would be a hard battle, but I didn't expect it to end so easily... But the result was the worst. At least judging from Athena's words, the goddess had already succeeded, so they still came. It's too late!
"Mr. Gu Mo..."
Emilia turned around nervously and looked at the young man behind her.
"Are you okay..."
"..."
"..."
"……I'm fine."
Gu Mo looked a little strange. After a while, he finally realized what he was doing and shook his head.
"But your face looks so strange..." Miss Brave bit her lower lip. No matter how you looked at it, it looked like something was wrong.
"Oh, this is mainly because the name Ya just said made me a little... shocked." Gu Mo shook his head again.
This feeling is so strange. Although I know that the goddess is more sarcastic, it is still really strange. He had always thought that he would only hear such a title from Alice, and he had been looking forward to it, and firmly believed that he would definitely hear it.
Although, until now, he has not been able to achieve this goal...
Although the relationship has eased a lot, Alice has never been able to say it...
"Is that why?"
Subconsciously her eyes widened, Emilia couldn't help but laugh or cry, and then she looked at him carefully, and it seemed that nothing really happened. Putting it this way, it seems like it's really no big deal, but what's going on with that goddess? Is she bluffing?
"No! Your situation is very bad..."
Guinevere, who had been silent until now, finally spoke.
This blond lolita, who was wearing black mourning clothes and whose slender figure gave off a sense of coquettishness, squinted her eyes and carefully studied the young man in front of her.
"She's right, the path has been opened... Now the Holy Grail is sucking your essence. But it's a bit strange. Most people will probably be sucked dry immediately. Don't you feel it?"
"..."
"..."
The scene suddenly fell silent.
Emilia and Erica looked at each other.
"I don't feel anything..." Gu Mo laughed, not intending to admit it at all.
Anyway, this connection is not stable at all. If he wants, he can directly reach out and cut off the connection at any time. The reason why it is not dealt with now is just because even if the Holy Grail opens its belly to absorb his essence, even if it bursts itself, the impact on him will not be as much as a mosquito...
Um?
Feeling something suddenly, Gu Mo frowned slightly.
Probably because his huge energy was constantly pouring into the Holy Grail, he vaguely seemed to sense the "existence" of the Holy Grail in other worlds and other timelines through the resonance of the Holy Grail.
After he began to firmly reject his original destiny, the causality rate began to become chaotic, and it became difficult to observe the future. Even the second method of observing infinite parallel worlds seemed to be seriously affected. interference.
It was as if his actions had dropped a huge boulder on the pond, causing ripples to splash rapidly and spread outward in circles. The reflection that could have been seen clearly became fragmented and became difficult to see clearly.
Now he suddenly discovered that there was resonance and information exchange between the Holy Grails of different worlds, which gave Gu Mo an idea.
How about using the Holy Grail as the carrier of the second magic——
Just like the Jewel Man, his method of traveling to parallel worlds is to transfer to "gems" on Earth in different timelines.
For example, when moving from world A to world B, the gems in world B will be concentrated until they form Zelrich's form, and Zelrich's soul will be transferred into that form. In an instant, the gem golem transformed into Zelrich. At the same time, Zelrich, who was originally in World A, returned to his original Gem Mountain.
This is because the second magic has the ability to maintain its own identity——
There are infinite parallel worlds, but the existence of the second magic user is unique.
The same goes for Gu Mo, who has achieved the second magic. In this world, his existence will not appear in the parallel world at the same time. He needs to choose a carrier as a method to move in the parallel world.
