A certain crossover anime's nuclear-powered sword immortal

"No, I'm not teasing you. If you say you want it, I'll give it to you, how about it?"

Shirou's lips curled slightly upward, and he bent down slightly, like a kidnapper bewitching a young girl, as he spoke to her.

"..."

Upon hearing Shirou's conditions, the 'rebellious goddess' Athena fell silent, her cheeks turning bright red at a visible speed.

Feeling both ashamed and angry, her expression at that moment was quite amusing.

Looking at her expression, Shirou felt a sense of 'pleasure'.

"I never thought I'd become a pleasure offender..." Shirou muttered, reflecting on his own feelings.

Then, he looked at the goddess in front of him.

"So, my goddess, are you still struggling with this decision? Have you decided whether or not to humbly beg me?"

This statement made

Athena was furious; this guy was clearly trying to humiliate her so that he could derive satisfaction from her performance.

"You...you mean what you say...?" After hesitating for a long time, Athena felt that if enduring for a while could allow her to return to her peak, it wouldn't be a loss.

No, it's just a little embarrassment. As long as I regain my strength, I'll kill this despicable man in front of me!

“Of course it counts.” Shirou nodded.

Then, he saw the goddess in front of him, her face flushed, her eyes filled with tears, as if she was about to cry at any moment, and she spoke to him.

"Please, please give me the 'Gorgon Stone'! I...I want it...!"

"Hmm, I'm very satisfied." Shirou made this assessment like an expert connoisseur.

“Then… it’s time to return the Ancient Serpent to me!” The goddess blushed and stared intently at the ‘Gorgon Stone’ in Shirou’s hand.

"Hmm...that's true..."

As Shirou said this, he leaned close to the goddess's ear and mischievously spoke.

"Actually, I was lying to you. I lied."

Upon hearing these words, this "rebellious goddess" finally realized the wickedness of the human heart.

Her beautiful, dark purple eyes slowly widened. For the first time, she realized the wickedness of human nature, and she began to struggle frantically.

"This is the first lesson you've learned since you came to the mortal realm, Athena: never believe a stranger's promises."

"you……!!"

creak creak creak...

Shirou heard the sound of teeth grinding.

One thing is for sure: if he dares to get any closer, this goddess will not hesitate to open her mouth and bite his skin off.

"Alright, I was just kidding. I always keep my word."

Shirou shrugged and handed the 'Gorgon Stone' to the goddess, even playfully pulling it back a little.

As the chains were retracted and Athena regained her mobility, her mind was immediately filled with endless shame and murderous intent.

"Hmph! How dare you humiliate me like this! Once I regain my strength, I will make you taste all the pain in the world!"

Clutching the Gorgon Stone tightly in her hand, Athena began to chant loudly.

"I sing, I sing the hymn of the Triune Goddess, connecting the sky, the earth, and the darkness, for the cycle of life and wisdom. I sing, I sing the song of the goddess who has been despised, for as queen she is regarded as a forbidden serpent, for the queen's lament!"

"I sing, I sing the song of the goddess, my body and soul torn apart. My name is Athena, daughter of Zeus, patron goddess of Athens, eternal virgin. In the past, I was the mother of the earth, who gave birth to all things! In the past, I was the lord of the underworld, who ruled over darkness! In the past, I was the wise queen, who knew the wisdom of the heavens! I swear, Athena will soon return to the original Athena!"

It's like singing, like praying, and like praising.

As the chanting continued, Athena's figure changed.

From a petite little girl, she slowly grew, from a young body that looked like she was 13 or 4 years old, to the appearance of a 17 or 8-year-old girl.

Her shoulder-length silver hair had grown to her waist, and her previously somewhat thin figure had become even more slender.

Her clothing also changed from modern clothes to a white long dress with an ancient style.

Now, she has regained all her power, and her extraordinary demeanor is proof of her status as a triune goddess.

She is the last descendant of Mother Earth, the dark ruler who leads death and darkness, and the fallen queen who rules the heavens and the earth in darkness.

"Finally... Although I've just regained my ancient power and can't yet wield it skillfully, it's more than enough to deal with a shameless scoundrel like you..."

As she said this, Athena revealed a confident smile. Although she was only 156cm tall and could only look up at Shirou, she still gave people a sense of condescending disdain.

"She's gone from a little girl to a mature woman... Is this transformation a good thing or a bad thing...?"

In a short moment, the legal loli transformed into a tall, mature woman, a wonderful visual feast that assaulted Shirou's mind.

"Hmph, are you interested in me now? You foolish man! But I have no interest in weaklings like me!"

As Athena spoke with a disdainful expression, several owls began to circle overhead.

Chapter Seventy-Four: The Battle of the Snakes

Athena is described as "a person whose eyes shine with light," which can also be interpreted as someone with the eyes of an owl.

Nocturnal owls were considered in ancient times to be the embodiment of death, traveling between the dark, closed underworld and the mortal world.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the owl is a manifestation of Athena's past disobedience as the dark goddess of the underworld.

"The moment I regain my power, you have no chance left. Pay the price for your foolish desires, Godslayer!"

As Athena shouted this, she raised her arm and suddenly slithered out one venomous snake after another from the darkness behind her.

The venomous snakes gathered into a swarm, coiling around Shirou and attacking him.

If an ordinary person saw this scene, they would probably be so frightened that they would collapse to the ground.

Even magicians would find themselves in a predicament when faced with these venomous snakes, which are resistant to magic, over five meters long, and covered in colorful scales.

"If we're talking about venomous snakes, I certainly have some..."

"What...?" Athena was stunned by this somewhat cryptic statement.

However, the next moment, when she saw the venomous snakes with huge heads emerging from the black mist emanating from behind the man, she couldn't help but show a somewhat surprised look.

"This is----!?"

From the black mist behind Shirou, only a single, enormous venomous snake emerged.

No, can that really be called a snake?

Athena frowned slightly, somewhat bewildered by the appearance of this venomous snake with its peculiar antlers.

Despite being a snake, it has antlers like a deer, and its entire enormous body is covered with extremely sharp barbs. Furthermore, this venomous snake has grown four thick legs.

Athena frowned at the sight of this bizarre creature.

"Seeing the monsters in Norse mythology, even the goddesses in Greek mythology seem to have become ignorant."

Shirou said casually.

"Hmph, it just looks bigger than it actually is. If we're really comparing—"

Athena, who was still trying to argue, suddenly lost her composure when she saw the enormous venomous snake devour all the dozens of snakes she had released.

"Damn...!"

The goddess bit her lip, feeling somewhat angry at the incompetence of the venomous snakes she had summoned.

Then, her gaze turned sharp.

"Since that's the case, then I'll play along with you. Although this place isn't like the old city where everything was stone, making it difficult for me to fully utilize my powers, I can still manage with these little tricks. Watch closely, Orihara Shirou! I'm going to crush this venomous snake you summoned!"

As she loudly proclaimed this, the solid concrete pavement beneath Athena's feet began to bulge.

After Athena made that statement, the concrete road surface of the highway located on the shore began to bulge.

The road surface, formed from a mixture of sand and gravel, began to writhe as if it were alive. A huge snake head appeared, followed by a body, eventually forming a giant stone serpent thirty meters long. Then it began to move and crawl towards Athena.

Athena leaped lightly and stood on the giant concrete snake head, looking down at Shirou below.

"Go! My minions, crush those 'godslayers' who oppose me into a pulp!"

The road surface became a terrible mess after this concrete python appeared; what was once a smooth road surface has now turned into a long, deep ditch.

The giant concrete snake crushed the coastal fence into dust and headed towards Shirou's side, where the enormous, bizarre-looking venomous snake appeared to Athena.

Two giant pythons of similar size seemed poised to engage in a fierce battle.

Athena had complete confidence in the giant serpent she had summoned, because the serpent, made of concrete, was incredibly strong and completely immune to venom.

"If there's only one, then we're definitely at a disadvantage."

Suddenly, Athena heard Shirou's voice, and her eyes widened slightly as she thought of a possibility.

"Could it be...? No, that's impossible!!"

He might be able to summon more than one of these giant venomous snakes. When Athena realized this, she suddenly woke up and hurriedly commanded the giant concrete snake beneath her feet to crush Shirou in his direction!

"Go forth, Moin, Grabak, Grafvorud, Overnir, and Svafnir! Display your power before Athena, the goddess of the earth!"

At Shirou's call, the black mist behind him surged violently, expanding its range and engulfing the battlefield.

Boom boom boom! ! !

Even the ground trembled uncontrollably at that moment. Then, giant venomous snakes, almost identical in size to the first venomous snake, emerged from the black mist and began to surround the giant concrete serpent summoned by Athena.

They surrounded it as if they were bullying a newborn snake.

The concrete snake, capable of crushing trees and shattering steel and cities, was tightly coiled by several venomous snakes and unable to move for a time.

Athena, who was standing on the head of the serpent, was thrown off by the struggle of the giant concrete serpent below.

"The Word of Death, the Word of Manipulating the Earth... Goddess of the Earth, Goddess of Darkness of the Underworld, Goddess of Wisdom of the Heavens..."

Shirou murmured to himself as he watched Athena fall back to the ground.

"How...how do you know about my background...!?"

Athena glared at Shirou through gritted teeth.

"You're not a goddess of Greek origin, are you?"

Shirou stared intently at Athena, who had now regained her power, his gaze seemingly trying to pierce through her.
