Chapter 55 A sneak attack from fate
Seeing that Lorne on the opposite side was throwing out several excuses and refusing to take the bait, Athena could only suppress the malice in her heart for the time being and rolled her eyes at this little bastard who always made her unhappy.
"Then let's play chess. I just happened to have some new insights."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Having escaped the danger of being beaten up, Loen decisively took advantage of the situation, set up the chessboard, recalled Hecate's moves, and began to learn tactics from Athena in preparation for dealing with the gambler goddess.
Time flies, and it is already dusk outside the window. The faint light of the setting sun shines through the window lattice and into the living room. Hestia is busy doing chores, and the two people occupying the long table are fighting on the chessboard.
"Lorne, Lorne!"
As the game ended, little Medusa, who was playing with Nikki in the backyard, pulled her friend and ran into the house excitedly, showing him something hanging on her chest.
It was a bronze medal with a pattern of several giant snakes coiled together and entangled.
Loen touched the little Medusa's head and asked with a smile.
"What?"
"A gift! A gift from Nikki!"
Little Medusa answered excitedly, her little face beaming with pride.
Lorne looked at him a few more times and agreed patiently.
"Well, it looks good. It suits you very well."
"more than!"
Little Medusa shook her head, a solemn look on her face. She raised her hand, held the bronze medal in her palm, and activated her divine power.
In an instant, the blue-gray light flowed from the little Medusa's fingers throughout her body, transforming into a set of glittering bronze full body armor with the iconic snake pattern on it, like a living thing.
“Buzz!”
At the same time, Medusa's little hand trembled, and accompanied by a faint metallic tremor, a snake-like bronze chain sword appeared in the little girl's hand. When she waved it casually, a sharp whimpering sound of cutting the air was heard.
Feeling the powerful divinity contained in the armor and the aura of little Medusa that suddenly increased several times, Loen's face changed.
"This is……"
"Bronze Serpent Armor. This is the armor I made myself, with the help of Hephaestus, the god of craftsmanship, who combined some of my divinity with it."
The goddess of wisdom on the opposite side put down the chess piece in her hand, smiled and spoke lightly, then looked at Loen on the opposite side with a teasing look.
"Originally, this was prepared for you. But since I thought you wouldn't be able to use it, I asked Nikki to give it to Anna."
“…”
The corners of Loen's mouth twitched, and he felt so regretful that his intestines turned green.
A divine weapon! A real divine weapon! I searched Circe all over but couldn't find a single piece of this high-quality item!
Moreover, this is a masterpiece that incorporates Athena's serpent divinity and was created by the god of craftsman Hephaestus himself.
You know, Achilles, the great hero in the Trojan War, was able to defeat the entire city of Troy, which also had the help of gods, because he had a complete set of equipment made by the god of craftsmanship.
In the end, it was Apollo, one of the twelve main gods, who personally took action, transformed himself into the sixth god, and attacked from the dark, shooting an arrow through the heel, the only weak point in Achilles' body. This made this almost invincible hero on the frontal battlefield completely offline.
Similarly, if he were wearing this thing, Loen estimated that he would be able to walk around with his demigod peers in a domineering manner, and even if he met a real god, he would be able to fight.
As if she could sense Loen's excitement, little Medusa quickly tore off the bronze badge on her chest and stuffed it directly into Loen's hand.
"I don't need this either, I'll just give it to you."
Loen's heart warmed, and he gently pressed Medusa's little hand and smiled gently.
"No need. The divinity of the snake is most consistent with your bloodline. This thing seems to have recognized its master. You should keep it for yourself."
Then he paused, pointed at Nikki in the backyard, and reminded her in a low voice.
"Besides, a friend's gift cannot be easily given to someone else."
After Loen's repeated exhortations, Medusa felt somewhat shaken and embarrassed.
"But……"
"Take this elephant emblem and you can enter and leave my temple at will."
Athena on the opposite side spoke softly, with a smile in her eyes, and her tone turned to be seductive.
"You can eat whatever you want..."
“……!”
In an instant, little Medusa stared at the bronze elephant emblem in her hand and swallowed unconsciously.
Then, the little girl decisively put the long-term meal ticket in her hand back, raised her head solemnly, and looked at Loen in front of her seriously.
"Don't worry, I will protect you!"
Looking at the little Medusa who was sent away after a few meals and ran back to the backyard, Loen was a little amused. He turned to look at Athena opposite and asked helplessly.
"It's not a good idea to let her take this and eat and drink for free in your temple."
"Of course ordinary people don't have this qualification, but she is my priestess, walking on earth on behalf of my will, and enjoying my tributes and offerings. Shouldn't it be reasonable for her to do so?"
Athena, who was well prepared for this, spoke calmly.
However, when these words fell into Loen's ears, they brought shock like a thunderclap. He looked at the goddess of wisdom in front of him in astonishment.
"Priestess? Yours?"
"yes."
Athena nodded, her eyes fell on little Medusa who was playing with Nikki in the backyard, and a hint of tenderness appeared in her eyes.
"I like this child very much, and she also likes the city of Knossos. Since you can't use this thing, you might as well train her to be my priestess."
Luo En listened attentively, appearing calm on the surface, but his heart was filled with waves that were difficult to calm down.
According to a legend, after Medusa became a priestess of Athena, she became famous for her beauty that was comparable to Athena's, which attracted the covetousness of Poseidon.
In the end, Medusa was first defiled by the shameless sea god in the temple, and then was spurned and cursed by Athena for losing her virginity, completely turning into a demon.
- Could it be that even if one successfully avoids the ending of the Invisible Island, fate, as a constant, still has a strong corrective power and will try to bring everything back on track in another way?
Sure enough, even if you get the [accidental dice], it is not so easy to completely change the [inevitable destiny].
Foreseeing a new crisis, which had already planted the seeds of disaster for Medusa, Loen frowned deeply, pondered for a moment, and looked at Athena hesitantly, trying to make the goddess of wisdom in front of him give up the idea.
“Boom!”
However, before he could open his mouth, there was a violent shock outside the window, and the entire island of Crete shook slightly.
Athena's face changed, she suddenly stood up and rushed out the door, and everyone followed her subconsciously.
At this moment, the sky and the earth were dark. On the vast sea, a huge wave over a hundred feet high appeared, connecting the sky and the earth, and was rapidly advancing towards the coastline of Crete.
The Minoans on the streets looked at the torrent that swallowed everything and turned pale. Some screamed and fled in all directions, while others hugged their loved ones and huddled in corners. The whole city was filled with the wail of doomsday.
Damn, can't you hold it in so soon?!
The goddess of wisdom's eyes were gloomy, and the divinity in her body gushed out, turning into golden flames, rushing straight into the sky, and defeating the dark clouds in the sky in one fell swoop.
However, the waves on the sea continue to advance and the crisis has not been completely resolved.
"Nikki!"
Athena gave a low shout, and the little goddess of victory in front of the door immediately turned into a golden-green spear and flew into the hand of its owner, emitting an astonishing edge.
Then, the goddess of wisdom, who was covered in bronze armor and summoned a sheepskin shield in her other hand, pondered solemnly.
"I'll be back soon. You guys keep an eye on this place and don't let anyone else get close to the coastline!"
"good!"
Little Medusa nodded without hesitation and rushed towards the panicked crowd, shouting out the warning.
At the same time, after giving the instructions, Athena extended her dazzling golden metal wings behind her and flew towards the huge waves that were almost approaching the Island of Crete.
Lorne and Hestia looked at each other and couldn't help but see the common worry in each other's eyes.
Trouble is coming...
I recommend a book by a big guy [Public Execution Starting from King Saber], it is of high quality, has a lot of imagination, and is large in content.
Summary: Su Yun came to a manga world that was about to collapse due to a mysterious revival, but he was not panicked at all.
Because he could edit the stories of the 2D girls and broadcast them publicly, gain enough reputation by publicly executing the girls, and then...
then……
"Altoria, I am your previous life, King Arthur!" Su Yun, in the form of King Aurelion, looked at the confused foreign student Altoria and said heroically.
"The evil spirit is me and also you! Tokisaki Kurumi!" Su Yun, who has transformed into the spirit of time, stands in front of the astonished Tokisaki Kurumi with a charming smile on his face.
"Baalzebub, the power of thunder is my power, and my form is also the power you should have. Now, try to take out the power that belongs to you from your body! Its name is - Dream of Oneness!" After hearing what General Thunder said, Baalzebub subconsciously stretched out his right hand to his chest.
Morgan le Fay, Tamamonomae, Miyamoto Musashi, Yae Kamiko...
One after another, these originally powerless mortal girls showed their extraordinary side to the whole world under Su Yun's evil taste.
So people really believed that they had super powers, and therefore, they really gained super powers.
The world has been completely changed as a result, and history, in which mankind cannot defeat the mystery, has been rewritten!
