The Warrior of Love

——Although they are of the same kind, it does not mean that they have a good relationship.

In fact, the two goddesses' divinity and the areas they control complement each other perfectly. Whoever absorbs the other's divine power can return to or even surpass her heyday, which makes it impossible for them to sit down and discuss calmly.

After all, no one is a good man or a good woman!

However, unlike Echidna, who has gone berserk inside, Athena is a rational being. As the goddess of wisdom, she will not use force to solve everything like a mad hero god.

"I have no intention of robbing you of your symbol, Echidna."

The young girl with short silver hair said calmly: "Although that is very valuable, it is not my "Snake". Even if I absorb it to increase my strength, it cannot return me to my original form."

"Oh?"

Echidna held the statue in his hand and looked at Athena with interest.

"But you didn't come here to reminisce with me, did you? I'm not one of those steel heroes, and I'm not familiar with you, Queen."

In mythology, Athena often exists as a guide of heroes. Many of the Steel Heroes she guides are enemies of Echidna. Therefore, the Mother of Demons has always been hostile to her and even regards her as a traitor who fawns on the gods - this is undoubtedly a somewhat extreme view.

Athena didn't care about her sarcasm and made a suggestion in a calm tone.

"Your symbol contains the divinity of 'birth', and you are also the being that commands many of the earth's followers, especially 'snakes' and 'birds', which are very compatible with me.

But I have no intention of absorbing it, I just want to borrow it. Part of this complex divinity has a causal connection with my "snake". As long as I hold it in my hand, I can quickly find my symbol. "

“Come to think of it, you also lost your snake and have been looking for it for a long time. And your snake is… ah, no wonder, you were degraded to a monster just like me, so you wanted to borrow my power.

Yes, I understand your feelings. It must be uncomfortable to have your power restrained. You are a queen who is more noble than anyone else, but now you have to be dominated by a male god and be demoted to the daughter of the God King. "

Echid suddenly changed the subject: "But I refuse!"

"Uh……"

"I won't help you!"

The demon queen gripped the statue tightly, her lips raised in an alluring yet dangerous arc.

"Even if I help you find the Snake and let you return to the throne of queen, what good will it do me? After being abused by the heroes, do I have to serve you again? What a joke!"

Besides, there can only be one queen ruling this world!"

Athena narrowed her eyes slightly, and stared at the demon queen with her snake-like pupils.

"Then there's no way."

A pitch-black sickle with a snake head appeared in Athena's hand, and the silver-haired little goddess had a cold expression.

"I will do it even if it means using force!"

"Ha, stop bragging!"

Echid's eyes opened wide, strange scales appeared on his cheeks, and his eyes instantly turned into blue vertical pupils.

"Wake up, my followers!"

Roar!

With an earth-shaking roar, a huge monster appeared in the narrow secret room and destroyed it almost instantly. Countless huge rocks fell and buried the ruins.

Somewhere in the northern part of Mount Etna, a mountain wall cracked from the inside out, followed by a loud thunderous sound, and a dazzling light penetrated the layers of rock and shot towards the sky, like thunder.

In this massive attack, a streak of light drew a zigzag trajectory and finally stopped in mid-air. It was Athena, who looked a little embarrassed, but her expression did not change, because no one knew whether she had suffered any loss or not.

"Aren't you being too arrogant, Your Majesty?"

With wings nearly a hundred meters long, a gigantic dragon beast slowly spread out, emerging from the smoke and dust, constantly shaking the mountain wall, making people worry about this active volcano that may erupt at any time.

The mother of demons was sitting on the back of a dragon. She had turned into a snake woman. Her upper body was almost naked, revealing her round breasts. Only her hanging hair covered her important parts, and her lower body had simply turned into a winding snake tail.

She looked at Athena confidently with an arrogant smile on her face.

"In a fight between you and me, the outcome was unpredictable. But now that I have obtained the symbol of the origin, how could I lose to you? Moreover - in this volcano!"

boom!

As if responding to the call of the demon mother, or as if stimulated by the actions of the dragon beast, a huge sound like thunder and a dragon's roar suddenly rang out from the pass of Mount Etna that leads directly to hell.

The next moment, the scorching red-gold light pierced through the darkness, releasing anger towards the Goddess of Wisdom in the sky!

——Mount Etna erupted!

Chapter 524: Devil or Hero?

There were bursts of muffled thunder-like sounds coming from deep within the earth, the distant sky was illuminated red by the flames, and thick smoke and red-gold light emerged from the towering mountains - everyone knew what this vision meant.

Mount Etna is more than 3,000 meters high, and its huge outline can be seen from almost all of Sicily. When it began to get angry, the residents of the island naturally panicked.

Although this is not the first time that Mount Etna has erupted, the residents of the island already know that it is an active volcano and there are certain risks. However, when the volcano is active in the past, there will always be some signs in advance so that they can prepare in advance.

But this time there was no warning, and the commotion was greater than ever before. The scene, which seemed like the end of the world, made even the residents who were mentally prepared tremble and instinctively succumb to the power of heaven and earth.

Not to mention other places, just the small town where Jiang Liu was located was in chaos. The originally bustling crowd instantly turned into a disorderly muddy torrent. Thousands of people were going in thousands of directions. For a time, the traffic was so congested that even the police were powerless.

Seeing that a single carelessness would result in a stampede that was too horrible to watch, Jiang Liu held Liliana with one hand, frowned slightly, and began to refine the cursed power in his body.

The silver-haired girl looked at Jiang Liu in horror. She felt that the person next to her was not a "person", but a towering peak, or an endless ocean, whose scale could not be measured by human common sense.

"Buzz!"

The brilliant golden light shone in the sky, and the huge heat echoed with the river flow on the ground, and a constant supply of magical power was infused into it.

Then, a golden giant appeared in it, and his body became taller and taller, with a body length far exceeding a hundred meters, and the light and shadow outline created by the rippling light exceeded the scale of a thousand meters!

Its position is just like the real sun, rising towards the distant sky.

At this moment, the light was so bright that it seemed to turn night into day. The people of the entire Sicily were attracted and could not help but stare at this scene with their mouths wide open.

The originally noisy and chaotic crowd suddenly became quiet, and they all looked at the golden giant in the sky that seemed to be carrying the sun on its back.

Everyone's thoughts at this moment were surprisingly consistent: Is this a miracle?

Although supernatural phenomena, in addition to being mysterious, are often frightening because of the unknown, this giant brings a soft and warm golden glow, which spreads to everyone and seems to drive away their uneasiness and anxiety.

An indescribable sense of security filled everyone's heart, making them want to reach out and touch the giant - but this was naturally futile.

The golden giant only existed for no more than a minute, but its image was deeply imprinted in the eyes of everyone who saw it. The people who had become panicked by the volcanic eruption became incredibly calm at this moment.

After the giant turned into countless points of light and disappeared, and the night sky returned to darkness, the majesty of Mount Etna, which almost illuminated half of the sky red, once again attracted everyone's attention.

However, this time everyone's performance was no longer so chaotic, and they began to retreat consciously and in an orderly manner.

It seemed that the awe and fear of the volcanic eruption had been worn away by the shock of looking up at the golden giant just now.

Moreover, the light emitted by the golden giant really has a miraculous effect on calming people's hearts. It is simply incredible. I believe that even the head of a country cannot calm the crowd so easily.

Naturally, there were people discussing the "miracle" that had just occurred, so it was still extremely noisy, but the crowd was no longer crowded, and everyone began to evacuate to a safe point in a "fast but not chaotic" manner - the islanders also had a response plan for volcanic eruptions.

But among the retreating crowd, only Jiang Liu and Liliana remained motionless.

Some kind-hearted people tried to pull them away, but were rejected with a smile.

"You guys should leave quickly too. Even though this town is far away, there is still a possibility of an earthquake."

"We understand, thank you!"

After dealing with another enthusiastic citizen, Liliana let out a sigh of relief, then looked at Jiang Liu with a puzzled look, who had a blank expression on his face.

"Mr. Jiang Liu..."

"I told you, you don't have to call me Your Excellency. It's awkward. Just call me by my name."

"Then Jiang Liu...Qing?"

"Forget it, whatever you like."

"Thank you!"

Liliana paused and asked curiously, "Why did Jiang Liuqing do this?"

Jiang Liu was startled and asked, "What do you mean?"

The silver-haired girl pointed at the sky with her eyes and continued, "If our inference is correct, this volcanic eruption was most likely caused by the goddess we just met."

"That should be it." Jiang Liu nodded. "It is almost certain that the Earth Mother Goddess is the one who can trigger such a large-scale geological activity."

"You're going to fight it, right?"

"Yeah." Jiang Liu said as a matter of course, "Of course..."

"Then... why are you wasting your magical energy at this critical moment?"

Liliana finally spoke out the biggest question in her mind: "Shouldn't we conserve our energy before the decisive battle with the gods? The scene just now... Although I cannot see the essence of the "sun", I can also feel its huge energy consumption.

I don't understand... Even gods and godslayers can't easily replenish such a large amount of mana. It's obvious that doing this will not do you any good, so why do you still..."

After listening to this, Jiang Liu did not answer immediately, but remained silent for a while.

Then he said, "Am I doing this wrong?"

Liliana blinked, came to her senses and quickly shook her head: "No, you did the right thing. If it weren't for you, I don't know how many casualties would have been caused!"

"That's okay." Jiang Liu shrugged.

"But... other kings would definitely not do this."

Although she had never actually interacted with other God Slayers, Liliana's tone was firm - this showed how outrageous the impression these guys left on people was.

“Whether it’s the Sword King or the Marquis, judging from some past records, if they encounter such a thing, all they will see is the God of Disobedience. Apart from fighting with the gods, nothing can attract their attention.

And their power... that power is too great and too dangerous for humans, the king has always used it for himself, not to protect anything, and without any scruples..."

Liliana was very confused, because Jiang Liu's actions were completely different from her impression of the godslayer.

Although she also learned along the way that Jiang Liu was a very easy-going person, with great power but never overbearing, which made people feel good about him.

But the personalities of the God Slayers are also very different. Not all of them are vicious. However, no matter what kind of personality a God Slayer has, their reactions when encountering a disobedient God are similar...

She originally thought that no matter how rational Jiang Liu was, he would turn into a berserker when faced with such a thing. However, the actual development was very different from her imagination.

Consuming a large amount of magical energy to appease the people... I've never heard of such a thing. Doesn't he need to reserve his energy to deal with the God of Disobedience?

"You think too much, little girl."

Jiang Liu smiled and shook his head, then flicked the girl's smooth forehead with his finger.

"ah!"

"There is no reason. I just did what I wanted to do - that's all. I am me, and they are them. Although we are all godslayers, you have to remember... First of all, my name is "Yuanshan Jiangliu", and secondly, I am a so-called godslayer."

Jiang Liu said calmly and casually: "Someone has to do the right thing. It's their business how they do it. These magical powers are mine, and I am free to use them wherever I want.

Ah... don't think too highly of me. I only did this because it's troublesome. If you ask me to shout loudly to guide the people to evacuate, I would not be happy about it.

Besides... who said that if you use up your magical power, you won't be able to defeat the God of Disobedience?"

The man clenched his fists and smiled with a hint of pride and confidence.

“It depends on this!”

"I……"

The silver-haired fairy girl looked dazed, her clear eyes reflecting Jiang Liu's smile, and she seemed to be in a trance.

Is this person really the god-killing demon king who is only afraid of chaos in the world?

It's just like a hero in a fairy tale!

The girl's heart was pounding...

Chapter 525: Primordial Fire

The dazzling magma spewed toward the sky, causing thick smoke to billow in the atmosphere, and countless flaming meteors streaked across the sky, as if the end of the world had arrived ahead of time.

A petite figure was moving nimbly through the meteor shower. A pair of bird wings grew on her back, which could break through the black smoke and flames with a slight flap. Although the fireballs were dense, she could easily avoid them.

But the threat she faces is not that simple.

"Sigh!"

Sharp cries were heard, and a large "black cloud" covered the sky. As a pitch-black feather slowly fell, the ominous demonic cloud dispersed into thousands of small black dots, surrounding the young Goddess of Wisdom from all directions.

"Well!"

Athena's expression froze, and her enchanting snake eyes instantly recognized the true appearance of these black spots. They were monsters with the bodies of birds but the heads of women.
