Why is my anime art style so weird?

Stheno and Euryale, who share the same bloodline as her, are naturally the best targets.

If Gorgon were in his normal state, he certainly wouldn't harm his own sister.

But now, under the influence of the curse, her rationality has faded, her bestial nature has been aroused, and she has become indifferent to even her own family.

The bestial nature within him constantly craved the same divine essence and flesh to replenish himself and suppress the curse.

So, unsurprisingly, she immediately targeted her most beloved sister.

"what!"

Gorgon let out a strange howl, her hair transforming into snake heads that hissed piercingly.

Then, with a powerful flick of her massive snake tail, she slithered towards her prey like a python—her most beloved sister!

"Wake up! You idiot!"

With tears welling in her eyes, Euryale shot an arrow at Gorgon's arm.

"Foolish sister!"

Steno, his face ashen, aimed several pink beams at the edge of Gorgon's body.

However, their attacks were barely a tickle to Gorgon.

She didn't even have to lift a finger; with a gentle flick of her serpent heads, she easily deflected the arrows and beams of light.

Gorgon quickly approached the two goddesses.

The two goddesses quickly took to the air to try and escape her pursuit.

In the blink of an eye, a pair of golden wings sprouted from Gorgon's back, and he flapped them as he chased after them.

Countless snake heads stretched out, reaching towards the two goddesses.

The two goddesses could only dodge in a disheveled state.

At this moment, Xu Ming realized that he and his sister, Kasumigaoka Utaha, had become mere spectators at the scene.

Kasumigaoka Utaha gave him a wink, indicating what he should do now.

As the screams of the two goddesses continued to ring in his ears, Xu Ming couldn't help but frown.

Now is the most crucial moment for him to make a choice.

If left unattended, the two goddesses will definitely be eaten by their own sister.

Gorgon, who devoured his own sister, will be completely transformed into a monster, and will then be defeated by Perseus, who is equipped with a large number of divine artifacts. His head will be cut off, thus establishing the supreme fame of this great hero.

Doesn't this sound like a staged performance?

Chapter 550 The Adult's Choice

That's right.

If someone like Xu Ming, who traveled from the future, were to see this at a glance, it would be clear that this was a grand hero's debut show prepared for Perseus, the son of Zeus.

It's not much different from the star-making movement, internet celebrities, and popular young idols of later generations.

It involves showering resources (numerous powerful artifacts), establishing a persona (slaying the Gorgon monsters that wreak havoc, petrifying sea monsters, and rescuing the princess), and creating buzz (the princess offering herself in marriage).

In this grand show, Xu Ming doesn't actually need to do anything. He just needs to stall until Perseus arrives and kills Gorgon to easily pass the test.

However, while this method is simple, given the nature of the dog system, you get as much as you put in.

Xu Ming was certain that he wouldn't get much of a reward this way.

Now Xu Ming has two choices.

Either do nothing and quietly be a bystander.

They must either rescue Stheno and Euryale, or even stop Perseus from killing the Gorgon when he arrives later.

The former is of easy difficulty; you can easily pass it by watching the live performance.

The latter overturned the 'script' set by the Greek gods, which is equivalent to going against the Greek gods, making it a truly hellish challenge.

So that's how it is. This is what the dog system meant by a completely open-ended task, where even the difficulty level is chosen by the user.

How to do?

Should they choose to watch the play, or should they choose to save the Gorgon sisters?

Easy or hell?

Should I choose to take 50 cents or 10,000?

After a while, Xu Ming slowly raised his phone, as if he had made his choice.

His thumb was pressed firmly against the shutter button, and the lens was pointed at Gorgon.

Four seconds later, Xu Ming easily released the shutter button.

Click!

With a soft sound, it seemed as if a bolt of purple-gold lightning had streaked across the sky!

Endless purple-gold light enveloped Gorgon's enormous body, as well as the petite Stheno and Euryale.

The two goddesses were doing their best to evade Gorgon's pursuit and were completely unprepared for Xu Ming's sneak attack.

Even without additional damage bonuses, a fourfold charge is still an unimaginable blow to these two goddesses who are not good at fighting.

They fell from the sky to the ground with screams, just like birds with broken wings.

Gorgon wasn't much better off. She was the largest, and Xu Ming pointed the camera directly at her, exposing her to the most direct rays of the exorcism light.

Moreover, she now seems to have transformed into a kind of 'weird', which Xu Ming guesses might be the rarest kind of 'demon'.

镜头的3倍‘驱魔’特效，附加4倍蓄力，足足可以对她造成高达4*3=12倍的伤害！！

Gorgon's entire body was charred black by the exorcising light, even his wings were burned to charcoal, and he crashed headfirst into the ground.

Xu Ming expressionlessly put away his phone, then took out the Ice Rose from his pocket, ready to wipe them out completely.

He's an adult now, so he chooses... to have none of them!

Besides the two paths he had already chosen, he actually had a third option!

That is, to kill the Gorgon sisters before Perseus does, to prove oneself by killing the sisters! To become an internet celebrity! Ahem! To become a great hero!

Just as Xu Ming made his move, Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had already communicated with Xu Ming telepathically, instantly transformed into a streak of blood-red lightning, lunging at the falling goddess.

She yanked Euryale up from the ground, gripped Euryale's neck with her left hand, and mercilessly plunged her right hand into Euryale's chest, then bit down on Euryale's smooth, white neck.

While sucking on the sweet blood of the gods, Kasumigaoka Utaha kneaded Euryale's chest forcefully, seemingly trying to squeeze out all the blood from Euryale's body more quickly.

Before long, Euryale, whose skin was ashen, was casually thrown to the ground by Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Her petite body twitched twice and then remained still, before slowly turning into golden specks of light that drifted away in the wind.

Kasumigaoka Utaha then did the same to Stheno, draining her of her blood and tossing her to the ground like trash, before wiping her lips with her finger.

Perhaps because she had just drunk blood, her lips appeared particularly vibrant, almost like a blooming red rose.

No one noticed that a glint of gold flashed between her bright red lips...

Stheno stared intently at Xu Ming, her eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment, as if questioning him, 'Why did you target them?'

Then she turned into golden specks of light and vanished with the wind.

Of the three Gorgon sisters, only one remains.

Xu Ming shrugged.

The two sides have been enemies from the very beginning. Isn't it perfectly normal to kill the enemy?

Does she think she's some kind of pervert who can't resist cute little girls?

In his mind, when it comes to looks, no one in the world can compare to his older sister.

"Ow!"

Despite losing her mind, the loss of her bloodline still caused Gorgon a heart-wrenching grief, and she couldn't help but look up to the sky and howl.

Her injuries were healing, but at a much slower pace than before.

Clearly, the exorcising light, twice the intensity, was lingering around her, causing even greater damage to her body.

Kasumigaoka Utaha wasn't about to foolishly wait for her to recover; she immediately transformed into a streak of red lightning and shot towards...

Gorgon.

Meanwhile, the priestess in the Parthenon saw Xu Ming attacking the Gorgon sisters in the mirror, and a rare hint of anger appeared on her usually calm face.

"You pesky pawn! How can I let you ruin the stage that we've worked so hard to build!"

With a casual wipe, the image in the mirror instantly shifted to the red-haired youth walking on air.

Suddenly, she stretched out her finger, with a faint golden light flowing from its tip, and then pointed it at the boots on the feet of the red-haired youth in the scene.

A magical scene appeared!

Suddenly, the golden boots shone brightly, and their speed increased several times over, dragging the bewildered red-haired youth as they sped away into the distance!

The heavily injured Gorgon has been cornered by Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Her body was covered with scratches of all sizes, the wounds oozing blood. Just when they showed signs of healing, they would immediately rot again, and this cycle repeated itself.

Her beautiful long purple hair looked as if it had been cut by a naughty child with scissors; the lengths were uneven, and there were even burn marks.

Several snake heads lay scattered on the ground, slowly turning to ashes.

At this moment, Gorgon's aura had become extremely weak, as if he might perish at any moment.

However, at that moment, a whooshing sound suddenly came from the distant sky.

Immediately afterwards, a red-haired youth wearing a pair of glittering gold boots appeared in front of Xu Ming in the blink of an eye!

Xu Ming's heart tightened.

The monster-stealing guys are here!

Chapter 551 Killing My Sister to Prove My Dao

The young man arrived in a very peculiar posture, his upper body leaning backward almost parallel to the ground, forming a 90-degree angle with his calves, as if he had been forcibly dragged and flown there by those boots.
