Has Erica lost her mind? How could she say something so bizarre?

Before she could even process her speechless state and utter a complaint,

Suddenly, a sharp whooshing sound came from the distant battlefield.

Before Liliana could even be on guard, she saw a holy, beautiful, and slender young girl appear before them.

The girl wore a laurel wreath and possessed a stunningly beautiful face, like that of a goddess or demon. Her owl-like pupils sparkled, and she seemed to be very excited.

"Lady Athena!"

Liliana immediately knelt down on one knee to pay her respects. In the past few days, she had seen this goddess from afar a few times and had briefly interacted with this aloof goddess with Erica.

I never expected that this goddess would abandon her battle and come here.

Could it be that she heard Erica talking badly about her and came to punish her?

Before Liliana could even worry about this or plead for her friend, she was astonished to see that the incomparably holy and beautiful goddess Athena had actually changed her body shape on the spot.

After shrinking her sixteen or seventeen-year-old figure to the form of a twelve or thirteen-year-old silver-haired loli, the silver-haired child goddess excitedly rushed into Su Mo's arms, looked up, and called out in an extremely affectionate tone.

"Owner!"

"—!"

Upon hearing this title and seeing the silver-haired goddess's genuine intimacy and submissive demeanor, everyone present, including Liliana, was stunned.

They originally thought that the Shattered Moon Demon King and the Goddess Athena were at most allies, but they never expected that they were actually master and servant.

In other words, this Demon King of Shattered Moon kept a goddess who could rival the Last King?

The shocking reality and the chaotic speculations left everyone's minds in complete disarray.

In the end, everyone simply gave up thinking, with only one sentence in their minds—

The entertainment industry is truly chaotic.

194 The Last King Kneels on the Spot

Upon sensing Su Mo's presence, Athena did not hesitate at all, immediately leaving the battlefield and coming to Su Mo's side.

Just as Erica had analyzed, she did want to use this incident to gain credit and win Su Mo's favor.

But before she could finish speaking, she lowered her head awkwardly and offered an embarrassed explanation.

"I'm sorry, Master, I couldn't get rid of that wretched guy!"

After sharing the [Creation Mother Goddess] mythological technique from Su Mo, she thought she could easily defeat the Last King, but she didn't expect that the other party also possessed the most advanced immortality.

This resulted in her being unable to eliminate her opponent despite having an absolute advantage in strength.

"An indestructible body of steel..."

Su Mo naturally wouldn't blame Athena for this. He slightly raised his head and met the gaze of the Last King, who was hundreds of kilometers away.

"As the representative of the [Original Sword], the steel attribute does indeed counter the Earth Mother Goddess. Having received the blessings of the gods, he does indeed possess power comparable to mythological spells."

If the [Sword Codex] technique that Su Mo refined is a complete mythological technique...

What the Last King possessed was an unpolished, natural mythological magic.

In this respect, his rank is similar to that of the one and only god Zeus and the creator goddess Athena, only his completeness is somewhat lacking.

"However, his power is based on the mythical archetype of the sword hero, and the power of the hero is proportional to the power of the demon king. Therefore, as long as all the demon kings are eliminated, the power of the final king will also be weakened to the limit."

As he said this, Su Mo glanced at the silver-haired goddess in front of him.

"With your intelligence, it shouldn't be difficult for you to figure this out. As long as you eliminate all the Godslayers, the Last King will be nothing to fear for you."

"Ultimately, these tools have no chance of rebelling against you gods in heaven, so why don't you start with the god-killers?"

he asked curiously.

Even the god-slayers in the original story thought of this solution, so he didn't think Athena, known for her wisdom, wouldn't have thought of it.

Only the final king, empowered by the Covenant Law, is qualified to fight Athena. If he loses the boost from the number of god-slayers, he won't even have a chance to be resurrected and will be completely sealed away by Athena.

Why not make the battle simpler by using a few tricks?

Faced with this question, the petite silver-haired goddess answered as a matter of course.

“Those fools are all the spoils of war for their master. What reason is there to lose the master’s property for the sake of a mere enemy?”

Her meaning was clear: it was possible to do it, but it wasn't necessary.

She wanted to achieve her goal without losing Su Mo's assets.

"All right ."

Su Mo nodded, accepting this reason.

"So, that's why you've been fighting this long?"

"Yes."

When this was mentioned, Athena lowered her head in shame.

Seeing her like this, Su Mo thought for a moment and then asked.

"Do you know why you can't break the Last King's immortality?"

"Because the Sword Codex of the Steel Hero God counters our Earth Mother Goddess's Creation Mother Goddess?"

Athena hesitated for two seconds before giving this answer.

This is the conclusion she reached after these few days of battle, and it is also her view on the Earth Mother Goddess mythology and magic itself.

Having witnessed the Steel Hero God's replacement of the Earth Mother Goddess, she deeply understands the characteristics of steel—born from the earth yet capable of extracting and plundering its essence, transforming it into her own power. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she is the Earth Mother Goddess's natural enemy.

If it weren't for the fact that the mythological formula given by Su Mo was too complete, and the fact that the Last King's understanding of the [Sword Codex] was too rudimentary, Athena would not have been able to maintain this absolute advantage over him.

In her understanding, the advantage of steel over earth is self-evident.

Otherwise, even the final king wouldn't have been able to last this long.

however--

"wrong."

Su Mo shook his head.

"If that's what you think, then you haven't yet grasped the true power of this mythical technique."

"True power?"

Athena was stunned.

As an ancient earth goddess, she couldn't deny being spoken to like that, since it was Su Mo who said it, and he certainly had the right to give such an evaluation.

"Aren't you curious? Why is it that other pantheons only have one mythological formula, while the Greek pantheon has two opposing mythological formulas?"

Su Mo asked the question.

Both the Creator Goddess and the Sword Codex are mythological spells derived from the Greek pantheon.

"Is it because the trend of the steel heroes replacing the earth goddess is most obvious in the Greek pantheon?"

Athena tilted her head back and guessed.

Although various mythologies have similar evolutions, Greek mythology is a type that places extra emphasis on heroes defeating monsters.

"You can say that."

Su Mo nodded.

"However, if you think about it carefully, are these two mythological techniques really mutually exclusive and incompatible?"

"……no."

After a moment's thought, Athena, who was already very intelligent, shook her head.

"Steel is born from the earth and originally belongs to the earth's power. It's just that in its subsequent development, due to its excessive danger, it has turned against the earth."

So-called alchemy is nothing more than separating earth from fire and extracting essence from rough materials.

Just as patriarchal clans emerged from changes in matriarchal clans, the earliest iron also originated from the earth and was shaped after being heated by fire.

Seeing that she was so quick to understand, Su Mo continued to give her pointers.

"If that's the case, then why do you believe that steel can subdue the earth? As the [Creator Mother Goddess], shouldn't you embrace everything on this planet?"

"—!"

Upon hearing this, Athena's eyes widened, and she finally understood what Su Mo meant.

Due to past reasons, her goal has always been to defeat the Steel Hero God and restore the glory of the Earth Mother Goddess.

As a result, she subconsciously fell into the narrow division of dualism, completely regarding the steel attribute as the enemy of the Earth Mother Goddess.

Therefore, of the Greek mythological authority she unified, she only controlled the part belonging to the Earth Mother Goddess, while she completely rejected the power belonging to the Steel Hero God.

It wasn't until Su Mo pointed it out that she realized her mistake.

Since steel originated from the earth, as the mother goddess of the earth, she should naturally also wield the power of steel.

To truly master the mythical art of the Creator Mother Goddess, she should rightfully control everything on this planet.

"Does Master mean that if I can use the power of the Earth Mother Goddess to wield the authority of the Steel Hero God, I can unify the [Sword Codex] and become the true [Creator Goddess]?!"

Athena's voice trembled slightly, as if she had discovered true secret wisdom.

It turns out that these two mythological techniques are not opposed, but unified!

Only by combining the two mythological techniques can one master the true power of Greek mythology!

"¨々That's right."

Su Mo nodded slightly.

"If that's the case, you will not only be able to master the complete [Creator Mother Goddess], but you can even go a step further, transcend the racial category of gods, and obtain the candidate qualifications of another race."

"Another race?"

Athena was surprised again.
