071. Heartache

At this time, everyone still remembers that Medusa was once a priestess of Athena, and she caused a lot of controversy because she seduced Poseidon, the god of the sea.

However, Medusa was just a mortal. Even though she possessed half the blood of the original sea god, she could not easily kill the three goddesses of fate... No, it should be said that it was absolutely impossible.

However, it still happened.

"——Everyone, don't worry."

Athena suddenly spoke, her soft and peaceful voice breaking the silence. "Since it was Medusa who killed the three goddesses of fate, then if we kill Medusa, all these problems will be solved."

After hearing this, the gods couldn't help but feel that it made perfect sense, and they all nodded in agreement.

The smile on the face of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, widened a little. Although she didn't know when Medusa had evaded her eyes, strengthened the power of hope and used it to kill the three goddesses of fate, all this only made her more disgusted and hateful towards Medusa, and would not hinder her final fate.

Athena always believed that no one and no god could escape the control of fate, just as she had originally hoped to become the king of gods, but in the end failed as fate had arranged.

The same goes for Medusa. Even if she is so powerful that other gods cannot kill her, as long as Perseus, who is destined to kill her, attacks Medusa, he will definitely succeed.

Thinking of this, Athena suddenly recalled the curse that was interrupted at the beginning. She did not become a monster with snake hair and body as her fate intended, and therefore seduced the ignorant Perseus with her beautiful appearance. Athena never thought about the curse again after that.

He felt that he had obviously underestimated the attraction of the body to men, and did not realize that it was his negligence that invisibly gave Medusa a way to survive.

But it doesn’t matter. When Medusa becomes an ugly and dangerous monster, will they still have the same expression?

Then, Athena left amid the noisy crowd of gods. Her eyes turned to Medusa, who was on earth and surrounded by Perseus and Poseidon, and continued the curse that should have been completed from the beginning.

"I curse you, Medusa. I curse you to become a monster with snakes for hair and body. Not only that, your eyes will become the most terrifying weapons, turning all humans who look into your eyes into stone..."

Although Perseus is a demigod, he somehow inherited Kronos's scythe. This powerful force will protect him from the effects of petrification and make him the best candidate to kill Medusa.

But as time passed, the smile on Athena's face became gradually stiff and frightened. At this time, Medusa was still sitting in Perseus' arms with an indifferent expression, looking at Poseidon indifferently, and she didn't look like she was going to turn into a snake with hair and body of snakes at all!

How is this possible?

Even if she had the power of hope, it shouldn't be like this!

Could it be that... Medusa's power has reached a level close to His?

At this moment, Athena suddenly felt a chill and finally realized that she might have underestimated her.

*

Medusa was nestled in Perseus's hot and tightly held arms at this time, and she found it ridiculous to see Poseidon, the god of the sea, looking frustrated but helpless.

Naturally, she didn't care at all about the god in front of her who had once bullied and ruthlessly possessed her, because Medusa knew that after everything was resolved, she would make Poseidon pay a price far more painful than the three goddesses of fate.

So she quickly looked away.

For Medusa, now she has something more important to do, which is to strengthen her own strength.

So, she gently closed her eyes, deciding to explore as much of her power as possible before the gods attacked them next time.

So Medusa closed her eyes and felt the powerful force of hope in her body. Her consciousness gradually became blurred, and suddenly a warm and inclusive golden ocean appeared in front of her eyes. It contained infinite power. As long as her will was strong enough, they would be used by Medusa to accomplish everything she wanted to do.

However, when Medusa closed her eyes, she saw the scene of her killing the three goddesses of fate. In the picture, they showed their ferocious faces and pounced on her. The powerful force hit Medusa, obviously trying to take her life. Even though Medusa knew that she had made an extremely correct choice, some complicated emotions in her heart still kept affecting her ability to gain power.

Did she really have to kill them?

This question suddenly circled in her mind like a spell. She didn't know where it came from, but it kept torturing her will and hindering her progress.

But Medusa would never give up so easily. She thought for a long time in her own spiritual world, and then she realized that perhaps they should not exist.

Every life, whether human, god, animal or plant, should have the power to choose its own destiny.

This may sound outrageous, but only Medusa, who has experienced everything, can understand how precious this "right to choose" is, and how it creates endless possibilities for every living life.

Why did she die because of being forcibly possessed by Poseidon? Why did Perseus' mother Danae become pregnant because of an inexplicable golden rain...

No one has ever asked them whether they are willing to bear all this. Fate has imposed all this on them. It is the culprit, and the gods are not innocent either. They are also accomplices of sin.

Since Medusa was able to kill the three goddesses of fate, it is not impossible for her to weaken the Olympian gods who now rule the world.

No, not possible.

She was no longer the powerless little priestess who depended on the gods. Ever since Medusa decided to seek revenge, she had successfully deceived Poseidon, the god of the sea, into trusting her, turning Perseus, who was supposed to kill her, into Medusa's loyal dog. She even managed to kill the immortal god...

Therefore, as long as Medusa is firm in her belief, she will be able to do it.

As she thought so firmly, the pool of moist sea water in Medusa's heart seemed to feel the call and became more magnificent. The warmth that touched her heart warmed her limbs and body, giving Medusa infinite strength and faith.

…

"—Medusa, Medusa!"

Poseidon, the god of the sea, looked at Medusa sitting in the arms of another man and resting with her eyes closed. Her indifference to him made him feel angry and frightened.

He began to comfort himself that Medusa wanted to take this opportunity to punish him deliberately. After all, she was just sitting upright at this moment, not at all like the charming, passionate and seductive look she had shown in his arms when they were at the bottom of the sea.

But the abominable thing was that the lowly Perseus held Medusa carefully in his arms and kissed her head, while he smiled smugly at him, as if mocking him for having been completely defeated in this invisible battle.

Poseidon naturally could not bear such anger. He rushed towards Medusa eagerly, trying to take Medusa back from Perseus' arms, but almost at the same time, Perseus raised Kronos's sickle cautiously, and the sharp tip of the knife paused at his chest, and then slowly moved down.

Perseus said coldly, "Come any closer, and I'm not sure where I'll hurt you."

Poseidon, the god of the sea, had no choice but to stop and look at Perseus sinisterly, and then unconsciously looked at the small part of Medusa's raised milky white neck. The long-standing desire for her in his heart, accompanied by the pain of not being able to get her, turned into something even more acrid and bitter.

He suddenly felt extremely frustrated. Even though Poseidon had recovered his power and status as the god of the sea, and Zeus would not act rashly for the time being because of the sickle in Perseus's hand and the weapon in Tartarus's hand, he found that things were completely beyond his expectations.

Medusa shouldn't be like this now. In his imagination, she should hug him ecstatically after seeing him, expressing her helplessness at being forced to betray him, and her deep and unwavering loyalty to him... At least she definitely wouldn't ignore him like she is now. He could even sense a hint of hatred from her.

Hatred, wasn't she being forced by Athena, but was she really... hating herself?

Thinking of this, Poseidon's heart suddenly twitched violently. At the same time, a suppressed and deep dull pain swept over him, as if his heart was being torn apart by someone, and the pain quickly spread throughout his body.

He didn't understand what was going on. Poseidon, the god of the sea who was always superior in strength and emotion, had never experienced this kind of feeling, not even during the most difficult three years, when Medusa came to tell him that she hated him. At that time, he was mostly angry and confused. After all, pain was absolutely impossible for a god. Later, the messenger Hermes came quickly to resolve the "misunderstanding".

However, faced with this fact, Poseidon, the god of the sea, seemed to suddenly realize something, and in the glory that did not belong to him, he felt the heartache of Medusa.

Yes, when Poseidon realized that Medusa hated him, he suddenly realized that everything seemed to make sense.

It turned out that everything she said to herself in Troy was from the heart, and the feelings she showed to herself under the sea were just false.

It was no coincidence that Medusa failed to conceive at that time. Considering the contraceptive methods she spread later, Poseidon realized that she didn't even want to have a child between them.

Faced with such "shame", Poseidon, the god of the sea, should be angry. He should immediately kill this ignorant woman and make her pay a sufficient price for deceiving and betraying the gods.

But contrary to his wishes, the unfamiliar pain in Poseidon's heart had slowly spread without his knowledge, as if he had witnessed the process of a wound being fiercely broken open. This feeling was almost incredible for a powerful god like him who would never be disobeyed.

But he truly felt it, especially when he saw Medusa lying defenselessly in another man's arms, with a cold and even hostile expression towards him, which made Poseidon even more uncomfortable.

At this moment, Poseidon, the god of the sea, didn't dare to think about it any further, because all this made him almost crazy with jealousy, as if his flesh was being cut off alive.

In fact, Poseidon, the god of the sea, had already had a delusion about Medusa from the moment he saw her chatting and laughing with children on the beach. It was true that he had a disagreement with Athena, but this was just an excuse to possess her.

From the beginning, she was to be His.

However, things have completely gone off track, and Poseidon really doesn't understand why it has turned out like this?
