Who is not a warrior these days?

Chapter 557 Goddess Athena! I love you so much!
"Jie Jie Jie..."

Wang Li circled the silvery-white core of FGO Mecha God Athena's spark halfway around.

He stretched out his finger and gently touched the surface of the shimmering halo, forcing out what he considered to be his most "kind and approachable" smile.

Despite the fact that his smile, coupled with his "glorious deeds" of tearing apart the God King with his bare hands and transforming the god into an ox, as well as his signature villainous laugh, looked particularly eerie.

Family members, who knows!
He almost wanted to scream like a groundhog inside his head.

As a righteous Gemini Gold Saint who travels through countless worlds and works diligently for love and justice in various dungeons.

Would it be appropriate if there wasn't a dedicated goddess like Athena supporting the scene?!
Is this true? !
And today!
Right here in the ruins of Olympus in the Type-Moon world, I finally encountered a wild, fresh, and genuine Athena!

This feeling was even more exciting and thrilling than if he had found a peerless secret manual or discovered some super artifact!
Well, how should I put it...

This is a way of finding the "organization," finding...

Ah, the complex joy of finding the "ultimate long-term meal ticket" and "top scapegoat"!
Although Wang always prides himself on being the light of righteousness, he is always dedicated to spreading the great spirit of love and justice that Saint Seiya champions to every paid copy world he experiences.

But he himself knows perfectly well what he's done... well, those who know, know; those who don't, won't understand even if you explain.

Many times, when dealing with such situations, what's really needed is someone who can handle things, keep the situation in check, and step up to draw attention away from the situation when it matters most!

Originally, Wang was thinking about whether he should take some time to go to some parallel world of classical Greek mythology and try to "invite" or "capture" an Athena.

If all else fails, Wang is open to anything, including Athena characters from games like "Godkiller," "High School DxD," "The Legend of the Condor Heroes," "Honor of Kings," and "The Garden of Shadows." He'll take any of them to tide him over!

Of course, the quirky female character in the "100,000 Cold Jokes" world is another story. She's really not someone to mess with; her style is too peculiar, and Wang Li is afraid she won't be able to handle her.

As for the original Saint Seiya character in the official Saint Seiya world...

"Sigh, I'll have to wait until my cosmic realm advances a few more levels, at least until I've completely solidified my eighth sense, or even until my ninth or tenth sense..." Wang Li thought about it and felt a little apprehensive.

After all, the true Athena, whether it's the gentle and resilient Sasha version, the noble and aloof Saori version, or other parallel world versions of Athena, all highlight a decisive and ruthless nature, as cruel as winter to their enemies.

No matter if you are human or ghost, or which remote deity or pantheon you came from, or which of your relatives you are, as long as you dare to cause trouble and disrupt love and peace on earth, they will dare to pick up that scepter of victory and kill you without saying a word!
"But I really didn't expect that the first Athena I, Wang Li, officially obtained would be the FGO Machine God version from Type-Moon..."

Wang Li stroked her chin, looking at the core of the fire that was full of technological sense and divine radiance, marveling at it.

"Tsk tsk tsk, the metallic texture of this Machine God Athena, the flowing light of the data, the beauty of rational logic... Taking a few more glances really broadens one's horizons, it has a unique charm."

In an instant, Wang Li's mind was like a racetrack, with countless thoughts rushing through her head.

Looking at the core of Athena's Mech God's fire before him, Wang Li couldn't help but grin upwards, the grin growing wider and wider until it finally settled into a look that looked anything but malicious.

"Jie Jie Jie..."

Wang Li let out that standard laugh in her heart again, a laugh so perfect it could be used to dub a villain.

The so-called "using Athena to command the Saints"!
The wisdom left behind by the ancients in the Saint Seiya multiverse is indeed a truth that has been tested in practice!

After all, they are Saint Seiya... It is said that collecting Athena is the greatest pleasure of Saint Seiya, without exception!

Who doesn't know that these hot-blooded brutes, whose muscles often work faster than their brains... no, these valiant warriors, whose greatest joy and glory in life is to protect or collect an Athena?
"Now that I have Athena, it seems that when the time is right and the resources are in place, I, Wang Li, might just be able to experience being the Pope of the Holy Land!"

"This is like a windfall, no, it's like a goddess has fallen from the sky! It's even more exciting than finding Chaos on the street!"

“So…” Wang Li whispered to the core in an almost aria-like tone, filled with “sincere” emotion, “Goddess Athena! I love you!”

Wang Li's mind was racing with thoughts, which instantly wandered off to some unknown corner.

And as the object that Wang Li "collects"... I mean, the object that he is about to "protect," is our dear, the machine goddess Athena from the FGO world.

At this moment, her mood is probably not so beautiful...

Quiet.

The entire alternate dimension seemed to have been muted, becoming eerily quiet.

Athena's silvery-white core of fire floated there quietly.

The halo on its surface continued to flow steadily, showing absolutely no reaction to Wang Li's "self-introduction," which was packed with information and enough to overturn the Machine God's worldview.

It was as if it were merely a delicate, mindless divine mechanical creation.

Wang Li waited a few seconds, then couldn't help but wonder, "No way? Is she really that badly injured, and her consciousness has completely vanished? Or was it that when I tore apart the combined form of the Twelve Machine Gods, the energy impact was too strong, and I accidentally caused permanent damage to her? That shouldn't be the case, I was very careful... probably."

Wang Li wondered if she should get closer and make a more "intimate" and "deep" call to it.

But at this very moment...

The halo on the surface of Athena's silvery-white core, which was originally flowing smoothly like breathing, suddenly paused, almost as if the sensory signal had been interfered with.

It happened in a flash, so brief that it was almost negligible.

But then, in the deepest part of the core, the consciousness that had fallen into a deathly silence due to severe injuries and the backlash from the fusion, was as if a red-hot, sizzling branding iron had been thrown in!

"boom!"

An invisible ripple of consciousness suddenly exploded outwards, chaotic and disordered, as if the entire database had been forcibly filled with huge, constantly flashing question marks and gibberish that were invisible to the naked eye!

A faint, yet clear, thought wave, as if it were ringing in one's ear, like an owl being choked, frantically darted out from the very bottom of the core logic!

Countless glaring red symbols representing data errors, logical conflicts, and disordered permissions flashed wildly and unpredictably on the surface of this precious core of the spark, like a virus outbreak!
Finally, what reached Wang Li's ears was a broken electronic voice that seemed to have struggled to emerge from the very bottom of the core of the fire seed, as if it had broken through countless firewalls and logic locks:
"what??"

"Wh...what do you mean by 'Athena's Saint Seiya'?! That Athena is so powerful, how come I didn't know about her?"
