Why is my anime art style so weird?

As Xu Ming was talking non-stop, a small hand suddenly reached out and pinched the soft flesh around his waist.

Xu Ming was in so much pain that he almost cried.

Then I heard my older sister's incredibly gentle voice.

"Why is my younger brother so skilled and knowledgeable about this kind of thing?"

Is my younger brother envious?

Xu Ming broke out in a cold sweat. He knew that if he didn't answer this question well, he would face a bloody end!

Dangerous!

He quickly tried his best to persuade his older sister.

Chapter 555 Goddess of War (Part 1)

Xu Ming finally managed to calm his older sister down.

At that moment, Athena's lips curled up slightly, and she actually smiled.

Her icy complexion melted away, revealing a vibrant beauty like spring flowers in bloom.

"Interesting mortal, your suggestion is excellent and very interesting..."

Athena smiled with pleasure.

Seeing that Athena's attitude had clearly changed, Xu Ming couldn't help but breathe a slight sigh of relief; he had obviously made the right bet.

However, Athena's next words made his expression change drastically.

"However, this cannot atone for your sins."

Xu Ming couldn't help but frown.

"What do you mean?"

Athena said calmly:

"To defy the gods is a sin."

"!"

Xu Ming laughed in anger; this was truly the epitome of robber logic.

"So the only way for you to survive is to defeat my body."

Athena then continued.

Ok?

Xu Ming looked at her with some suspicion, feeling that there was something hidden in her words.

Xu Ming looked Athena over and found that her face was expressionless, and he couldn't tell what she was thinking at all.

Xu Ming temporarily suppressed his doubts.

In any case, Athena has made herself very clear.

To survive, you must defeat her!

We must at least defeat the body she's possessed.

Xu Minggang had just informed his sister through telepathy that he was preparing to launch a sneak attack, but Athena struck first.

She looked at Parker with a cold expression.

"You had a good time attacking just now, now it's my turn."

After saying this, Athena waved her hand, and a large flock of birds flew in from all directions.

These birds appeared out of nowhere, and when they flew over the Invisible Island, they were so dense that they blocked out the sky.

Xu Ming's expression changed slightly as he immediately recalled that Athena's relics included various birds.

She can completely control these birds!

Without her making any move, the birds flew towards Parker as if they had gone mad.

Upon reaching Parker's head, the birds folded their wings and swooped down on him as if they were bombs.

Parker's eyes suddenly flashed with blue light, and a chilling aura surged upwards.

Thick frost instantly formed on the bird's entire body, and then large chunks of ice crashed down from the sky towards Parker.

Parker didn't pay much attention at first, until the frozen bird crashed beside him and shattered into pieces, from which a wisp of black 'smoke' flew out.

The wisp of black mist swiftly swept towards Parker, passing by a pink flower growing in a crack in the stone slab. The flower withered and died almost instantly.

Soon, this wisp of black mist carrying the aura of death ignored the golden light shield and cold air surrounding Parker's body and directly entered it.

Parker shuddered, feeling a chill run through his body, as if a little bit of his life force had disappeared.

As the birds continued to die, black mist, carrying the aura of death, seeped into Parker's body.

Parker's body hair gradually lost its luster and began to fall out in patches, and his bright eyes gradually became cloudy.

It exuded an aura of twilight, as if it were about to die.

Xu Ming was horrified to see Parker's miserable state.

He suddenly remembered that Athena herself also carried some of the divine duties of death, and that birds themselves were, in ancient times, symbols of messengers of death.

The most terrifying thing is that the healing effect of the Chaos Banner's "My Lord is Here" didn't work.

It seems that this deathly aura attacks life force directly, commonly known as 'lifespan'.

The protective shield created by 'My Lord is Here' can only heal injuries, but cannot replenish the loss of life force.

That's true. If one could continuously replenish their life force, wouldn't that mean Xu Ming could live forever simply by planting the flag down? That's obviously impossible.

Xu Ming decisively pointed the lens at the top of Parker's head and pressed the shutter button.

Click!

A flash of purple-gold light instantly pierced the sky.

Athena saw the lightning bolt, and a glint flashed in her eyes; it was unclear what she was plotting.

These birds were not particularly strong individually; wherever the purple-gold light passed, the birds were instantly reduced to ashes.

Not only that, the death aura on Parker's body was also swept away, and he regained his radiant appearance.

Surprisingly, the exorcising light effectively countered the death bird summoned by Athena.

Seeing that it was effective, Xu Ming quickly aimed at the sky and took two more photos of the area with more birds. The flock of birds that looked like dark clouds in the sky was instantly swept away.

Athena frowned slightly.

Parker lowered his head and patted his chest with a look of lingering fear.

"I was so scared! I thought I was going to die!"

Xu Ming glanced at it with disdain; this guy was really wasting his big size.

In the original work, it was the same; it could exert its strength but only slack off, while it was quick to betray its teammates.

Swish!

Just then, a golden light flashed before Xu Ming's eyes, and then he felt an irresistible, enormous force pulling him backward from the back of his neck.

Xu Ming then realized that a gleaming golden spear had pierced the spot where he had been standing. If he hadn't dodged quickly, he would have been stabbed into a meat skewer.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, his older sister pulled him out from behind.

Just then, a hand, as fine as the finest mutton-fat jade and encased in golden armor, gently grasped the spear shaft and pulled it out forcefully.

The spear, deeply embedded in the hard stone slab, was immediately withdrawn.

The valiant goddess brandished her spear of victory, its gleaming tip pointing directly at Xu Ming and his sister, her expression calm as she looked at them.

Xu Ming's heart tightened.

Athena abandoned all other trivial tricks and chose the most direct, and also the most dangerous, head-on close combat.

The goddess... is getting serious!

The next second, a golden streak of light rushed towards the two of them.

Kasumigaoka Utaha gently pushed Xu Ming behind her, then faced him head-on.

In an instant, golden and blood-red cold light drew perfect, elegant, and deadly crescent-shaped arcs in the air.

Clang! Clang!

A series of metallic clanging sounds rang out.

Two beautiful figures danced a death dance amidst bursts of exploding sparks.

Xu Ming knew very well that although his sister was powerful, she was no match for this goddess of war, so he did not hesitate to use all his trump cards to help her.

A frigid ice storm swept across the battlefield in an instant, and a thin layer of ice quickly formed on Athena's armor.

Her armor flashed with golden light, instantly dispelling the ice.

However, her movements still slowed down slightly.

Xu Ming then took out the Bone Bell and shook it continuously.

White skeletons grew from the ground and surrounded Athena.

Chapter 556 Goddess of War (Part 2)

Whoosh!

The goddess kicked the bones to pieces.

However, her actions were inevitably affected to some extent.

Kasumigaoka Utaha seized the opportunity in that instant. Her eyes flashed with a cold light, and she swung her hand upwards like a claw.

Athena immediately let out a muffled groan as a long, narrow wound was torn open on her golden armor.

A trickle of blood gushed out, staining the fair skin encased in armor.

Athena instinctively covered her chest with one hand and stepped back.

Xu Ming felt a chill run down his spine when he saw his older sister's actions.
