Why is my anime art style so weird?

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a giant wave surged up in the sea and swept the stone horse away.

This stingy sea god finally did something reliable.

Xu Ming couldn't help but complain in his heart.

At the start of the war, this so-called protector of Troy seemed to have vanished, never displaying any miracles.

In contrast to Poseidon, Athena openly used various cheating methods to help the allied forces.

If it weren't for him, and the fact that Hector's fate was rewritten, Troy would have been conquered long ago.

Just then, a golden beam of light descended from the sky.

Clad in golden armor, holding a shield and scepter, the goddess with purple hair and bright eyes appeared in the radiance.

Luxurious and heroic, it is like a golden rose in full bloom.

The moment everyone's gaze fell upon the goddess's figure, a terrifying aura erupted from her proudly standing, delicate body.

What followed was a pressure as heavy as Mount Olympus, which caused everyone present, including the great hero Hector and Penthesilea, the descendant of the god of war, to involuntarily kneel down...

Apart from Xu Ming and his shikigami.

Feeling the warm current emanating from the cross on his chest, Xu Ming felt a little more at ease.

At this moment, the goddess slowly spoke.

"You mortals, how dare you destroy the offerings given to me! You have no fear!"

His voice was icy cold, and his murderous aura was like a sharp blade aimed directly at vital points, causing the Trojans present to tremble and not even dare to raise their heads.

Penthesilea looked stubborn, struggling to stand up.

Hector knelt on one knee, his face filled with resentment.

They were the ones who won first, but now the goddess herself is taking over, trying to steal their victory.

Is this God?!

Hector couldn't help but let out a cry from his very soul.

The Greek man bound to the ground was incredibly excited, his face beaming with a smug expression that said, "Serves you right, you're all dead this time."

"Sizzle!"

Xu Ming grinned, his eyes filled with mockery.

"Stop playing these hypocritical tricks."

No matter what we choose, you just want to destroy Troy.

Don't you know what's inside that rocking horse?

Saying nice things only makes people feel disgusted.

Ugh~~

As Xu Ming spoke, he deliberately made a vomiting motion.

His words and actions terrified everyone present.

Not only did they show no reverence, addressing the goddess as "you," but they also ridiculed and mocked her to the extreme. This was blatant blasphemy, and right in front of the goddess!

If the situation weren't so awkward, everyone would have addressed Xu Ming respectfully.

You are a truly brave man, in short—a macho man!

Even the most well-mannered woman can't stand being insulted to her face.

Moreover, Athena was not a magnanimous person to begin with, and in her eyes, the mortals in front of her were no different from ants.

Now they actually dare to brandish their pincers at her and provoke her?

That's practically suicide!

"How dare you! You arrogant ant!"

A cold glint flashed in Athena's eyes, and she picked up her scepter and thrust it at Xu Ming.

She showed no signs of energy fluctuations and moved slowly, yet Xu Ming had a terrifying feeling that he couldn't dodge or block her attacks.

Click!

A series of sounds like shattering glass rang out, and the armor made of frost and bones was pulverized by the scepter in less than a second or two.

Golden armor of light suddenly appeared, blocking the scepter.

However, the moment Athena saw the light armor, a sharp killing intent flashed in her eyes.

"Heretics! Die!!"

The scepter's power instantly increased by three points.

Click!Click!

Taking advantage of the gap in the defensive spell that blocked the attack, Xu Ming picked up his phone, aimed it at Athena, and pressed the shutter button repeatedly.

The continuous exorcising light washed over everything in front of it like a tidal wave.

The gold on Athena's armor, shield, and scepter had noticeably dimmed, as if covered with a thick layer of dust.

In particular, the dangerous and terrifying aura emanating from the scepter was decreasing at a visible rate.

However, the armor of light only lasted a few more seconds before it shattered into golden starlight fragments with a loud bang, completely disintegrating.

The scepter did not stop at all and continued to thrust at Xu Ming.

"Seven Rings of Blazing Sky Covering the Heavens!"

Xu Ming gave a cold shout, and the purplish-red broken crystal plate suddenly released a dazzling light, like a huge flower of light blooming.

The enormous flower bud bloomed silently, its five purplish-red petals, as light as gauze, opening simultaneously to block Xu Ming's view and also to shut out the commotion outside.

A hint of surprise flashed in Athena's eyes as she saw the suddenly appearing Shield of Ajax.

The scepter pierced the very center of the petal in an instant, and a transparent ripple formed on the surface of the petal, quickly spreading outwards.

Bah!Bah!

With two consecutive sounds, the two petals shattered almost simultaneously, breaking into even smaller fragments like snowflakes, which drifted into the air.

At this moment, the shikigami beside her also realized what was happening and launched an attack on Athena.

Just as Xu Ming was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly noticed that Athena's lips were slightly upturned, and a hint of mockery appeared on her face.

A sense of foreboding suddenly rose in Xu Ming's heart.

The next second, golden divine power surged out from Athena's body, making her as dazzling as the sun.

A terrifying aura surged forth like a tide, and the Trojans, who had just adapted, were immediately pressed firmly to the ground.

The scepter, which had become dull and lifeless, once again shone with dazzling brilliance.

clap clap clap!

In the blink of an eye, the scepter pierced through the remaining three layers of petals and thrust towards Xu Ming's chest.

Cold sweat poured down Xu Ming's forehead; a deadly threat loomed over him.

Without a doubt, this is the true power of a level 8 weapon!

I won't play any fancy tricks with you; I'll just crush you with the purest difference in strength, leaving you helpless.

Time seemed to slow down.

Xu Ming could see the scepter slowly advancing towards his chest, but he could only watch helplessly.

At this point, any defensive spells were too late and useless.

Chapter 768 They Escaped

hum!

Just as Xu Ming was facing the most dangerous life-or-death moment, the backpack behind him suddenly glowed.

An object emitting golden light flew out of the backpack and blocked Xu Ming's path.

Suddenly, the thing shone brightly, instantly forming a semi-transparent light shield in front of Xu Ming.

Ding!

With a soft sound, the golden scepter slammed into the thin shield of light.

A shocking scene unfolded.

This seemingly thin shield of light, made of an unknown material, easily withstood Athena's full-force attack.

what is this?

A question mark suddenly popped into Xu Ming's mind.

The golden light emanating from the light shield was similar to the holy light emanating from the cross, but the feeling it gave him was completely different.

The holy light was pure and holy, yet this unknown golden light brought him a warm feeling.

It's like being in the middle of a raging blizzard, where the temperature is bitterly cold, when suddenly the dark clouds disperse and the first ray of gentle sunlight shines on you, bringing a comfortable, faint warmth to your entire body.

The first ray of sunshine in the dead of winter.

Athena's expression was filled with surprise and uncertainty, and she muttered something under her breath.

"Apollo?"

But she quickly shook her head, her eyes growing colder.

"It's the power of heresy!"

Athena seemed somewhat unwilling.

She retrieved her scepter and swung it again, but the light shield still blocked it.

When Athena unleashed her third strike, the shadow behind Xu Ming suddenly came to life, turning a blood-red color.

Then a snow-white, slender arm reached out and grabbed the scepter in Athena's hand.

A hint of surprise flashed in Athena's eyes.
