Players’ NPC daddy.

“But this is fine.”

Perseus ran his hands over the boots on his feet, and a pair of wings sprouted from the sides of the boots.

This was the final divine suit, which gave the wearer the ability to fly at great speed. Perseus took a light step forward and flew into the air, attracting the attention of the demon goddess Medusa in the air, leading the giant away step by step.

He could hear the cracking sound like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon. Petrification controlled Blaze, but there was no way to kill Blaze, so he could only trap Blaze there.

Blaze needed time, so he bought it.

This was not about reaching the sky, nor was it about making up for any mistake; it was just the only thing she could do.

The outside world was so strange that she didn't dare to see with her own eyes how strange it was, so...

A huge hand came and slapped Perseus like a bug.

The hands of the Demonic Goddess were extremely long, and Perseus had to turn his back to her. Even with his flying boots, he could not delay for long.

"Being killed by one's own ghost... this ironic result is extremely appropriate." Perseus closed his eyes. He could feel the wind created by the palm of the demon goddess.

He would not open his eyes, and seeing the face of the demon goddess would turn him into stone, and the goddess' soul would be separated from the petrified body. Even if the statue was destroyed, she would continue to live as a soul.

Only when the state of union of soul and body is killed can there be true death.

"This amount of time should be enough, haha... I don't know if there is a underworld in the outside world."

"You really like taking shortcuts."

A hand broke free from the petrified shell that was like skin, grabbed the snake tail of the demon goddess, and the huge body as big as a mountain fell down with a bang.

Perseus slowly opened his eyes, and in the huge cloud of dust raised by the demon goddess's fall, a silver light flickered.

It was like a beacon of light in the darkness.

【Metamorphosis Z】

[Curse Resistance LV10]

Blaze's silver werewolf body broke free from the stone statue as if breaking out of a shell, and every hair was brand new and shining, as if it had undergone a transformation.

"Look here!"

Blaze's roar attracted the attention of the demon goddess Medusa, who stood up and looked at the little thing that pulled her down.

Blaze's sight intertwined with Medusa's, and the curse of petrification struck again, turning Blaze into a stone statue.

boom--

The stone statue exploded from the inside, and Blaze broke free again. This time, the petrification could only stop Blaze for a moment before being broken through by Blaze's [Transformation Z].

At the moment of breakthrough, Blaze tore off the stone fragments on his body and threw them at Medusa with the [Thunder Throw] skill.

A piece of rubble spread like a thunder tree from the earth to the sky. The moment it pierced through Medusa's neck, countless thunder branches rose up and chased after her, bombarding Medusa's body.

[Metamorphosis Z] will only trigger the enhanced state when suffering from a negative state, but the petrification curse is a momentary state, and there are only two situations: petrification and non-petrification. Therefore, the metamorphosis enhancement can only be enjoyed at the moment of breaking through the petrification.

The petrification brought by Medusa's appearance is equivalent to a charged attack for Blaze, with the timing determined by himself.

But none of this mattered now, Blaze jumped up and grabbed Perseus who was flying in the air.

"You guy, after causing so much trouble, you want to die?!"

"Then what else can I do?" Perseus looked at Blaze calmly, his eyes like a pool of dead water.

“This is not a trap set by Zeus. This is the punishment for people who lose everything due to greed. I have seen the consequences of countless greedy people, and I ahhhhh—”

Before Perseus could finish his words, they landed on the ground, and Blaze actually used him as a cushion, rubbing against the ground to cushion the impact.

When he finally stopped, Perseus' entire body began to smoke.

"The back of my head, my back, my butt—"

Perseus lay on the ground groaning. If this set of clothes was not also a piece of high-quality protective gear, he would have been cooked.

"Is this how you stop someone from committing suicide? I'm almost dying!"

"That's great, I will definitely get a lot of experience points. You are a goddess after all." Blaze glanced at Perseus and looked at Medusa while holding [Mistine].

He was petrified for a moment, then broke out of his shell, and after transforming and strengthening, he used [Misttin Hunting].

The blazing beam of light from the past expanded several times, like a rushing river that submerged Medusa's upper body.

"You, you killed my body instantly?" Perseus' expression was stiff.

"No."

Blaze placed his hands on [Mistine] with a serious expression, and Medusa's upper body was intact.

This is a more troublesome characteristic than immortality, [indestructible except for certain objects].

Chapter 681 Challenge One and Challenge Two

After being exposed to the concept of alchemy, Blaze was able to understand a lot of incredible powers.

For example, Balder's blessing of "not being harmed by anything except mistletoe".

In the description, it was Balder's mother who ordered all things to swear not to harm Balder, but how could this be done?

There are too many concepts that can cause harm, and more new concepts will be born in the future. Unless Balder's mother updates in real time, there will always be new concepts that will hurt Balder, and if she updates in real time, there is no reason to forget about mistletoe.

Therefore, this should be a blessing derived from the birth of alchemy, exchanging [only being hurt by mistletoe, or even destined to be killed by mistletoe] for [not being hurt or destroyed by any other factors].

The demon goddess Medusa, as the corpse of the goddess of wisdom Athena, plays an important role, that is, the coronation ceremony of the [King of Olympus].

Her head would inevitably be cut off and placed on the aegis.

This is a confirmed result, so no other method can hurt the demon goddess Medusa.

Blaze has determined through [Thunder Throw] that Medusa's neck is the only place where damage can be caused, but this is only the beginning of the trouble, because if Medusa is killed, two undead demonic spirits will come out.

And simply chopping off the head doesn't seem to be enough. The headless Medusa seems to be able to sense the head and move like the Headless Horseman, searching for it.

At present, it seems that only the magic bag made of goat fur can isolate the induction between the head and the body.

"You are so despicable. You actually tricked me into coming here to wipe your ass with goat fur!"

"Wipe your ass!?" Perseus covered his lower body vigilantly. "Although I am heartbroken, it doesn't mean that I am a casual person who won't be..."

"Damn it, what should I do now?" Blaze ignored Perseus and turned his back to Medusa, thinking about how to break the deadlock.

The best countermeasure at the moment is to restore Medusa to her previous state with her head and body separated, but this means using the magic bag to hold Medusa's head. He cannot use the goat fur with Medusa's head to resurrect Capricorn.

Fortunately, Blaze did have other clues, which was the name of the mission he had obtained.

The name of the mission is [Trial of the Demonic Body of the King of Olympus]. The mission itself is to defeat the Demonic Body Goddess, and the hint lies in the mission content.

After he made the choice to want to help Perseus, he was given Challenge Two, so what was Challenge One.

Blaze guessed that Challenge 1 might be to snatch Perseus' chance to become the [King of Olympus] and replace him.

This inheritance ceremony is probably not difficult. You just need to find the stone statue of Perseus and the magic bag hidden by Perseus, and then combine the shield Aegis, the magic bag, and the head of Medusa together.

Then Athena, who went crazy enough to kill her own body twice in order to obtain the [King of Olympus], will undoubtedly completely lose her mind, and the battle will turn into a BOSS battle.

Perseus's physical body doesn't pose much of a threat, so the final boss battle will probably be Athena returning to her own alienated goddess body.

With a soul, the demon goddess Medusa was resurrected as Athena.

And because it has no head, the Medusa head on the aegis cannot be seen, so it will not be petrified and killed instantly. And because of the characteristics of headless life, it knows where its head is and will chase after the holder.

Judging from the routines brought by the stranger, this is most likely the case with Challenge 10.

In either case, Athena needs to completely give up becoming the [King of Olympus].

The former was to snatch the "King of Olympus" from Athena, causing her to despair, while the latter was to make Athena decide to ascend to the sky as Perseus and become a fairy hero in the sky.

"Have you given up on becoming the King of Olympus?" Blaze turned back to look at Perseus. Judging from Perseus's previous look of despair, it should be...

Perseus said nothing, but slowly turned his eyes away.

"You! You didn't just turn around and leave to sneak back to find the flying Aegis, did you?!"

"No!" Perseus raised his voice, his face full of sincerity, "but I can't control my physical impulses. It's the influence of the blood I inherited."

"I'm definitely giving up now!"

Blaze took a deep breath, his clenched fists trembling, he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and would blow up this despicable guy.

But if Perseus is destroyed and Athena's soul is crushed, he might be forced to inherit the title of [King of Olympus].

From what we know so far, he doesn't want to be the son of Zeus.

"Get up quickly, I'll give you this." Blaze urged Perseus to stand up, then handed him the best novice sword in Balkan City.

"Take the best sword in this village and go kill this guy."

"I hit the goddess's physical body!? Is that true?!" Perseus didn't want to take the sword that Blaze handed over at all, for fear that if he took it, he would have to hit his own goddess' physical body.

"Didn't you just look like you were going to die? Why are you afraid of death now?"

"This, this is because..." Perseus lowered his head in embarrassment. Blaze's contemptuous gaze was very piercing.

"You know, sometimes you need to build up your emotions to want to die. You just interrupted my passion, and it may take some time to build it up again... you know."

When Athena first discovered Medusa's true identity, she felt it was extremely ironic and planned to die to get rid of it.

But he was intercepted in the air by Blaze, and the back of his head and buttocks rubbed against the ground, and the atmosphere full of sentimentality and despair was gone.

“Give me a song’s time to brew…” Perseus took a deep breath and paced on the spot like an actor in a stage play, reciting the lines in a low voice.

Perseus' inner self is Athena, the goddess of wisdom, who fully demonstrates her goddess-level sense of substitution. After a while, Perseus' face is full of despair.

"You've recovered?" Blaze was a little surprised. This was a bit too magical.

“…No.” Perseus’ voice trembled. “I just feel despair when I think that if my plan fails, you might force me to fight my physical body.”

"You guy--" Blaze's eyes twitched. Perseus, or Athena, was the most difficult guy he had ever met.

This guy is just like his own male body and female soul, in two contradictory states: serious show-off and deep sorrow.

After all this time, it turns out this guy is a funny character!

Chapter 682 Goddess Interpretation

Perseus took several deep breaths, and finally showed a determined expression.

He found that he had chosen the wrong direction of interpretation. He should not have reverted to his previous self-abandonment after knowing the truth, but should have faced his past greed and sins and decided to end everything with his own hands.

"Like you said, I always choose to take shortcuts and pick the easiest way. This time, I will take the most difficult path, to look straight ahead, to save myself who has been abandoned."

"There's no one better suited to rescue me."

Perseus let out a light breath and looked at his hands with a complicated expression.

"This is not a trap. It's a chance my father gave me to save myself."

If it weren't for Perseus's previous performance, Blazer would have resonated with Perseus' words. But now he just felt that Perseus was playing him, and hoped that he would not stand idly by.

But how could it be that simple for Perseus, who is the goddess of wisdom at heart?

"And the first step I have to take is..." Perseus showed a sincere expression, bent his knees and knelt on the ground facing Blaze.

"Put aside your pride and ask for your help."

If it weren't for what happened before, Blaze would have been shocked. The person in front of him was the son of Zeus, the goddess of wisdom Athena, and such a being actually knelt in front of him.

"I really want to forget the previous memories and just keep the amazement I had about you when we first met, but unfortunately I have a really good memory." Blaze squatted down and patted Perseus' shoulder.

"Although I have a bad impression of you, this is not a reason for me not to help you. Your goddess body is really a big trouble, so let's go together."

Blaze specifically emphasized the three words "together".

"You know when I was a goddess, I was usually responsible for making plans behind the scenes..."

Blaze didn't give Perseus any chance to refute, and directly grabbed Perseus and rushed towards Medusa.

He put the sword into Perseus' hand, then held Perseus' hand tightly, and stabbed Medusa's body together with Perseus.

A wound appeared on Medusa's flesh.

"really!"

The question is who is the protagonist of this mission, this challenge. The key to Challenge 2 is to let Perseus defeat Medusa, so it is natural that only Perseus can really cause damage to Medusa.

As Perseus himself said, he had to face Medusa and save himself.
