I Created a Sanctuary in Marvel

Chapter 162 Conversation with Athena, Ragnarok?

The golden streak of light, like a meteor falling to earth, aimed directly at Rome, Italy.

This is the headquarters of the Holy Land.

Under the cover of night, the ancient city's old brick and stone walls were gilded with a sacred and dazzling cloak by this sudden golden light.

Without slowing down in the slightest, the stream of light crashed directly into the indestructible barrier of the Holy Domain with an almost arrogant attitude!

"Buzz!"

A deep, resounding roar erupted.

Following closely behind was a dazzling halo that rippled violently like water, instantly illuminating half the sky.

The massive energy surge transformed into a tangible tremor, radiating outwards from the sanctuary. The entire ancient city of Rome seemed to have experienced a violent earthquake; houses shook, pedestrians on the streets lost their footing, and screams erupted.

The light of the twelve zodiac signs suddenly shone, and the intense tremor was soothed.

"What happened? Was it an earthquake?"

"No! Look at the sky!"

The residents were terrified, and even more so, incredulous.

This is the core area of ​​the Holy Domain, the place where Pope Ye Feng resides. Who would dare to attack this place so directly? This is tantamount to attacking someone's own home!

"New God! Come out and see me!"

A clear and authoritative female voice echoed across the sky, piercing through the clouds and reaching everyone's ears.

People instinctively looked up at the source of the light.

High in the sky, a goddess clad in dazzling golden armor stood suspended in mid-air, the armor reflecting a light so intense it was impossible to look directly at her.

She was surrounded by a surging and vast divine power, like a tangible ocean wave, which made the people on the ground almost unable to breathe, and their hearts surged with the urge to worship her.

They barely managed to raise their heads, only to be met with that exquisitely beautiful yet cold, dignified and untouchable face before being forced to lower them again.

"That's—Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war?!"

Someone exclaimed in surprise, recognizing the goddess who looked exactly like the one that had appeared in the strange celestial phenomenon more than a month ago.

Just over a month ago, the epic scenes of Greek mythology witnessed by people all over the world were still fresh in everyone's minds, and the world was buzzing about the imminent return of the Greek gods.

However, the following month passed uneventfully, leading many to believe it was just a rare mirage, a false alarm.

Who would have thought that today, Athena, a goddess of great importance in the Greek pantheon, would descend upon the Sanctuary in such an undisguised manner!

"Why did she come here? And in this way?"

"Oh my god, is the war of gods about to begin?"

Is the end of the world coming?

Panic spread through the population like a plague.

For mortals, wars between gods are nothing short of natural disasters.

At best, the continental plates will sink; at worst, civilization will be destroyed, and we will regress to the Stone Age.

Pope Ye Feng's strength is undeniable; he has saved the world from peril on numerous occasions. Athena, on the other hand, is a powerful being in mythology who can rival Zeus, the king of the gods.

If these two deities were to clash, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The message traveled around the world at the speed of light via modern communication networks.

Many countries that were already in the dead of night were awakened by emergency communications, and high-level meetings were held overnight.

Few people were excited. Apart from a few forces that feared nothing more than a peaceful world and wanted to take advantage of the chaos, most national leaders felt only heavy worries.

They could only watch Rome's movements closely with trepidation, praying that things wouldn't develop in the worst possible way.

"Buzz—"

Just as the outside world was in an uproar and panic, the sturdy barrier of the Holy Land quietly opened an entrance, responding silently.

Athena hovered in the air, her golden pupils sweeping across the open passage without the slightest hesitation.

With a swift movement, she transformed into a more refined golden light, instantly disappearing into it and vanishing from everyone's sight.

Only after her figure completely disappeared did the terrifying divine power that had enveloped the ancient city of Rome gradually dissipate, and the people kneeling on the ground dared to breathe heavily, but the huge weight in their hearts did not fall.

Tonight, no one is destined to sleep.

Inside the Sanctuary, Ye Feng stood with his hands behind his back, calmly watching Athena descend before him.

He keenly sensed that although this goddess acted in a high-profile and direct manner, she did not show any obvious hostility.

"Welcome to the Sanctuary, Athena."

Ye Feng spoke, his voice calm.

Looking at the goddess before him, with her extraordinary temperament and heroic bearing, he was momentarily dazed, as if he were seeing the goddess of war and wisdom who protected the land in another world from his memory.

Despite their completely different appearances, they share a similar unique charm and inner resilience.

Athena was also carefully observing Ye Feng.

Her divine senses were incredibly sharp, allowing her to clearly perceive the immense power and unfathomable depth contained within the new god before her.

Her intuition was screaming warnings of extreme danger, but it was precisely because of this that a long-forgotten feeling welled up within her—

excited.

Only the strong have the right to engage in dialogue and the foundation for cooperation.

My name is Athena.

"State your name, new god."

She declared again, her tone carrying the inherent arrogance of a god, but not contempt; it was more like an equal self-introduction.

"Ye Feng".

"Why has the goddess Athena graced the Sanctuary with her presence, and why are we meeting in this manner?"

Ye Feng's answer was simple and direct; he raised his hand to gesture to those around him.

He was indeed curious.

The Greek pantheon has been awakened for almost a month, yet it has remained inactive. Why would Athena act alone and approach him in such a grand manner?

Is it simply because he attained godhood?

"cooperate."

Athena parted her red lips slightly and uttered two clear words.

"cooperate?"

Ye Feng was slightly taken aback.

He had considered various possibilities, such as questioning, asserting sovereignty, or recruiting, but he never expected that the other party would come to seek cooperation.

"nature."

Athena nodded, her golden eyes looking directly at Ye Feng.

"You are already a Heavenly Father-level powerhouse, qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with me."

She paused, her gaze sweeping across the somewhat empty square.

"Shall we talk here?"

"It was I who neglected you."

Ye Feng smiled slightly and gestured for him to proceed.

Please come with me.

He turned and led Athena toward the central sanctuary at the heart of the Tarot Sanctuary.

The two sat down in a relatively quiet side hall inside the palace, in front of a simple tea table.

Ye Feng skillfully began to brew tea, a habit somewhat influenced by the Ancient One.

"Please use it."

He pushed a cup of fragrant tea in front of Athena.

"Now, could you elaborate? What exactly is the nature of this collaboration?"

"I have some knowledge of the Greek gods, and frankly, I can't think of any reason why we should cooperate at the moment."

"You wouldn't be hoping I'll help you ascend to the throne of the next God-King, would you?"

He leaned forward slightly, showing interest.

"I have absolutely no interest in the throne of the God-King."

"I've come to you because of a massive crisis that is affecting the entire multiverse and all pantheons."

Athena answered decisively, without touching the cup of tea, her gaze fixed intently on Ye Feng.

She paused briefly, as if choosing her words carefully, before saying, word by word, "Its name is: Ragnarok!"

Ye Feng's hand, which was about to pick up the teacup, paused almost imperceptibly in mid-air.

His pupils suddenly contracted, and a huge wave surged within him.

Ragnarok!

-

He certainly knew what the name meant.

This is not the Asgardian catastrophe depicted in Thor: Ragnarok, which revolves around the fire giant Surtur and the goddess of death, Hela.

In the deeper comic book lore of the Marvel Universe, Ragnarok is a recurring catastrophe of the gods!

It is the darkest destiny hanging over all mythological systems!

Countless pantheons, after reaching their zenith, are harvested by an unseen force, then the timeline is reset, and everything repeats itself, endlessly, like a cruel, never-ending farm.

In the eyes of those behind the scenes, the so-called gods are nothing more than crops used to nourish themselves.

In his memory, it was Odin, the Allfather of the Gods of Asgard, who was the first to notice the anomaly in this endless cycle of reincarnation.

He and Gaia, the Earth Mother, gave birth to Thor, the God of Thunder, who had a special mission, and he was raised by Frigga, the Queen of the Gods.

Ultimately, Thor, having fully matured, gouged out his own eyes under the World Tree, paying a huge price to gain runic power surpassing Odin, evolving into the powerful Rune King Thor, thus breaking this cycle of despair for the first time and ending that Ragnarok.

However, the shadowy ancient gods who orchestrated all of this did not give up.

They clashed with Rune King Thor multiple times, and even became involved with more terrifying beings, such as the Great Destroyer Serpent God Set.

Ultimately, this catastrophe ended with Loki, the God of Lies, awakening his divine power a second time, evolving into the God of Stories, and utterly annihilating him.

This is a famous and massive event in the Marvel Universe, with extremely wide-ranging implications and a very high level of power. It is one of the ultimate disasters that even a God of the Heavenly Father level would find powerless to overcome.

Ye Feng never expected that he would hear these four words from Athena's mouth.

Moreover, judging from her tone, the other party must have already experienced the catastrophe of Ragnarok, which is somewhat different from his memory!

His expression was calm, but his eyes had become incredibly sharp and focused.

He gently put down his teacup, sat up straight, and adopted a posture of attentive listening.

Ragnarok—

Tell me more.

Ye Feng slowly repeated the name, his gaze fixed on Athena.

He needs to know the details.

The depictions in film, television, and comics will inevitably differ from the events that actually occur in this living universe.

He must obtain firsthand information from Athena, who was present at the time.

After all, even the dimension at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, which was only mentioned briefly, hides the secret of the former residence of the Lightbringer Harps. How many unknown truths and dangers are hidden behind this true Ragnarok?

Moreover, if he remembered correctly, those five Shadow Ancient Gods were all multi-dimensional beings.

That was an ancient god that even beings like Rune King and Thor couldn't completely kill.
