The eyes hidden beneath the helmet widened slightly.
Incredulity filled her mind.
The first time, this human blocked his attack.
Astraea could also use the fact that she didn't use her full strength and that Gwen stopped her as an excuse.
But now, she is using all her strength in this sword strike.
That was an attack that no human could withstand.
In fact, she had already vaguely sensed something was amiss.
The human in front of her probably didn't just react to her speed.
Instead, it was as if they had already seen through her movements, and seemed to know exactly what she was going to do next.
He had already raised his shield a split second before she was about to attack.
In the instant that the goddess of justice felt dizzy, Astraea had already grasped the general idea.
But it was too late for her to retaliate.
Because the crow that annoyed her had come to its senses, she angrily flung her hand away almost instantly.
Then, divine power surged, and darkness stirred.
The deep blackness in the sky seemed to bend, transforming into a giant hand that sent 'Gwen' flying a hundred meters away.
Gwen, radiating a holy light, streaked across the sky like a shooting star, leaving a dazzling trail of light.
It flew straight into the distance and finally crashed heavily into the original clock tower.
boom!
Gravel flew everywhere, and dust billowed.
Large areas of buildings began to tilt and gradually collapse under the impact, eventually crashing heavily onto the hard ground.
Even the enormous bell was no exception; it was embedded in the ground, emitting a melodious yet deep chime.
Seeing Gwen being sent flying by a slap, Vega patted his chest, still feeling a bit shaken.
He breathed a sigh of relief, trying to calm himself down from the shock, and then couldn't help but burst into a tirade of curses:
"Damn it, you dare call yourself the Goddess of Justice?!"
"Whose goddess of justice launched a sneak attack?"
After finishing her tirade, Vega didn't forget to praise Viktor, who was sitting beneath her, and patted him on the head:
"Well done, Viktor!"
Viktor felt himself become even more silent, unable to speak.
That's right, except for that no longer sharp and hoarse voice.
Both his tone and his usual speaking style were exactly the same as Vega's.
but……
How can it be a female?!
However, 'Gwen' soon emerged from the dust and smoke, revealing her radiant figure.
He rose again from the collapsed clock tower, supporting himself with the blade of his sword.
Even after being thrown into the air and crashing into the dilapidated clock tower, her pure white armor remained spotless.
It seems like nothing happened.
Sure enough, the knight's body was incredibly resilient, ridiculously muscular.
But now, Astraea no longer looks down on the man in front of her as she did before.
Although Astraea has been hiding in that false scale for so long, she has been in a state of slumber most of the time.
She could only feel her divine power being constantly borrowed, and she didn't know who was borrowing it.
As a result, she was unaware of Viktor's strength and thought that Viktor was just another human mage equivalent to an archmage.
But just now, based on that one parry, she had completely realized that the man in front of her was no ordinary person.
Is he really human?
Astraea didn't know it then, but now she clearly realized it.
The being that could motivate her to give her all is probably not that evil god.
Thinking of this, she remained silent and instead plunged the sharp blade in her hand heavily into the floor of the clock tower.
As divine power surged forth from within her, the faint light emanating from Astraea's body began to spread gradually.
Beneath the shimmering halo, the surrounding air seemed to be summoned by divine power, trembling as the divine power flowed.
The originally empty space became even more oppressive under the weight of this imposing aura.
The light that pierced through it grew stronger as the divine power spread, eventually merging into the surrounding deathly darkness.
Seeing that the goddess of justice was gathering her power, Victor subconsciously began to plan his next move.
His expression gradually became serious.
Clearly, the goddess of justice is a formidable adversary he must confront.
Therefore, he is prepared to go all out.
Viktor frowned slightly, his gaze becoming unusually serious and cold.
Then, he subconsciously called out:
“Vega”.
However... what they received was not Vega's magical link.
Instead, it was the other person's hand, clad in a long black glove, that was upside down in front of him.
She held up a finger and gently shook it in front of him to indicate her refusal.
Viktor's eyes showed a hint of surprise as he watched Vega's actions.
But then, Vega's confident and unquestionable voice rang in his ears:
"Didn't I just say that since you've provided me with so many offerings, I'll naturally help you solve your problem?"
As she spoke, she placed one hand on her hip and raised the other in the air, her dark arm outstretched, beckoning to the surrounding darkness.
Like the crows of the past, mocking yet confident, they laughed:
"obedient."
"You've been showing off for so long, shouldn't you finally start believing in your god?"
