Why is my anime art style so weird?

She suddenly felt a tremendous force coming from her, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't smash it down.

With her arm gripping the scepter, she slowly rose into the air, and a beautiful figure in a blood-red kimono slowly emerged from the blood-red shadows.

Upon seeing that familiar figure, Xu Ming felt a huge weight lifted from his shoulders.

"elder sister……"

Xu Ming called out softly.

The figure turned and glanced back at him; it was Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had been asleep for many days in preparation for her advancement.

Compared to before, Kasumigaoka Utaha seems unchanged, yet she also seems to have changed a lot.

Xu Ming felt that something was not quite right.

There are no visible changes, but internally...

A ray of light shone on Xu Ming's face, and Xu Ming suddenly realized what was happening.

It was nearing noon, the time when the sun was at its brightest, yet Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't feel the slightest discomfort.

Xu Ming finally realized where her changes lay.

She became more like a human being.

To be precise, it's more like a living person now.

The eerie aura of a vengeful spirit on Kasumigaoka Utaha's body has almost completely disappeared.

She truly became a living, breathing person!

Athena did not take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack; instead, she looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha with a wary expression.

She had already sensed that the woman opposite her had reached the same level as the Greek gods.

This is impossible!

Is there any other way to become a god?

Athena quickly recovered from her shock.

This woman must not be allowed to live!

Her existence shook the foundations of the Greek gods!

Although Athena sensed an extremely dangerous feeling emanating from this woman dressed in strange clothes.

But Athena had absolute confidence in herself.

How could an ant who somehow managed to cross the boundary between humans and gods possibly be her match?

She is the goddess who symbolizes war and victory!

Athena suddenly hurled the golden scepter in her hand.

The scepter instantly transformed into a golden ball of light, which then exploded in mid-air, scattering countless golden specks of light.

Before the golden light could even land, it transformed into a swarm of owls and venomous snakes that surged toward Kasumigaoka Utaha.

There were so many owls and snakes that they completely filled the space in front of Kasumigaoka Utaha's field of vision, making it almost impossible to see the sky and the ground.

Despite the overwhelming attack, Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't even lift an eyelid.

The blood beneath her feet suddenly boiled, and with a whoosh, a massive amount of blood gushed out, transforming into a tsunami that blotted out the sky and crashed down upon her.

Looking down from high above, the earth seemed to have become a giant canvas, with crimson and gold paint surging towards the center from two directions and colliding violently.

Athena's expression suddenly froze.

The blood actually swallowed the owl and venomous snake she had released.

Although a significant portion of their blood was consumed, they ultimately won.

The blood that had devoured the owl and the snake continued to flow toward her.

The golden scepter returned to Athena's hands, but it had completely lost its luster and was covered with numerous signs of corrosion, clearly indicating that it was severely damaged.

Athena raised the Shield of Aegis with a grim expression, and a huge golden shield of light blocked her way.

The next second, the blood slammed against the golden light shield, making a series of hissing sounds as it was corroded.

The light shield was quickly corroded and riddled with holes, but the energy contained in the blood seemed to have been completely consumed and began to gradually recede.

Before Athena could even breathe a sigh of relief...

Click!

With a soft sound, a purple-gold flash of light struck the light shield like thunder.

The already crumbling light shield shattered instantly.

not good!

Athena's mind suddenly went off with alarm bells.

A blood-red figure appeared silently behind her.

Athena turned around without hesitation and hurled Aegis at him.

However, the effects of the exorcising light did not seem to have dissipated, and she still felt noticeably sluggish when she circulated her divine power.

puff!

With the sound of flesh being torn apart and a suppressed groan of pain, an arm flew off.

Crimson blood splattered, and the golden gauntlets worn on the arms reflected a dazzling golden light. The unexpected combination of gold and blood created a strange and alluring beauty.

Athena clutched her right arm and staggered backward, blood continuously flowing from between her fingers.

"you!?"

Athena looked pale and terrified as she stared at Kasumigaoka Utaha.

She never imagined that she would be defeated by a mere mortal.

Kasumigaoka Utaha showed no intention of letting her go, waving her hand as she charged at Athena.

Long fingernails swept through the air, leaving trails of blood-red afterimages.

A hint of resentment flashed in Athena's eyes, and with a whoosh, she transformed into a golden light and soared into the sky.

She actually ran away!?

Just as Xu Ming was about to say something, dark clouds suddenly gathered above their heads, and terrifying lightning surged like a giant dragon through the sea of ​​clouds.

Oh no, that old bastard Zeus has made his move!

Just then, a system message popped up, indicating that the trial mission had been completed and asking if the user wanted to return immediately.

Xu Ming immediately exchanged all his points for the 'Blazing Sky Sevenfold Ring - Fragment', and then chose to return immediately without hesitation.

Final Chapter (A long chapter of 10,000 words; wishing everyone a Happy New Year in advance)

The moment he returned, he glanced around.

Most of the Trojan soldiers who followed them out of the city were dead; only Hector, Penthesilea, and a few heroes survived.

This horrific scene was the work of my own elder sister and the goddess; hundreds of lives were lost in the aftermath of their battle.

Immortals fight, mortals suffer.

Xu Ming now has a full understanding of this statement.

As for Zeus taking action himself, Xu Ming was not surprised at all.

Hercules was Zeus's biological son, and also the most gifted of his sons. He underwent countless trials before being enthroned as a god on Olympus after his death, and even then, he was only a second- or third-rate god.

This shows how much the Greek gods feared 'mortals becoming gods'.

Now that Kasumigaoka Utaha has actually defeated Athena, the goddess of war and victory and one of the twelve Olympian gods, how could Zeus, that old bark of a tree, not be wary and try every means to get rid of her?

Xu Ming now only hopes that the system can be more efficient.

The system was indeed powerful; before Zeus's thunderbolts struck, Xu Ming had already felt that long-lost dizziness.

He and his shikigami have already left that world.

As for whether Zeus would later take his anger out on Hector, Penthesilea, or even the city of Troy, Xu Ming could no longer care.

Having emerged from the trial world, Xu Ming had just taken out all the fragments and combined them into a complete 'Blazing Sky Sevenfold Ring'.

The seven class-specific chess pieces he acquired suddenly flew up and merged into one in mid-air, followed by a blue beam of light shooting into the sky.

Almost simultaneously, a red beam of light appeared in another corner of Fuyuki City.

"How is this going?"

Xu Ming asked in surprise.

The two Joans, who were pulling each other's cheeks, suddenly stopped their playful fight.

Bai Zhen looked at the red pillar of light on the other side of the city with a complicated expression, and said softly:

"The opponent has also gathered all the pieces, and the Holy Grail of the Sun is about to appear."

Black Jeanne looked at Xu Ming with a mischievous smile.

"Looks like you can't rest yet."

Xu Ming nodded with a wry smile.

"It seems so."

However, the other party used cheating methods and was already quite lucky to be able to complete the trial at the same time.

Just then, a huge blue magic circle suddenly appeared beneath Xu Ming's feet.

"What's this!?"

Xu Ming was startled and quickly cast various defensive spells on himself.

"Don't be afraid, this is a teleportation array that will guide you to the End Altar."

Bai Zhen comforted her.

Xu Ming immediately became more alert.
