The Warrior of Love

"Really? Just seeing your appearance makes me feel disgusted... You are so shameless. As my compatriot, the Earth Mother Goddess, you turned to serve the man who persecuted us, and even after thousands of years of vicissitudes, you did not give up. This is no longer something that can be explained by loyalty.

Could it be that you have fallen in love with that man? He is the greatest enemy of our Earth Mother Goddess! Ha... How humiliated are you, you slut! "

"Hmm..." Guinevere was trembling all over, her face turning red and white, but she didn't have the courage to refute Athena directly.

Jiang Liu looked at the silver-haired goddess in surprise, his astonished eyes as if he had seen a monster.

The goddess of wisdom always presents herself as rational and calm, and would not easily let her emotions get so excited. Even when she was defeated by Jiang Liu and ordered to wear a maid outfit, Athena had never cursed in such a way that would damage her image.

To be able to make her lose her composure like this...it seems like she really hates this God Ancestor.

There was obviously something going on between the two of them. No, Athena must have despised Guinevere as a person.

Chapter 582: The Last King and Departure

"We are the [Hero's Servant] who serve the warriors."

After a long silence, Guinevere suddenly calmed down. She somehow found the courage to overcome her fear of Athena, got rid of the suppression of divine power and status, and spoke to her seriously.

"Even you, Lady Athena, have a Greek myth about serving Zeus as the beloved daughter of the great god. What right do you have to blame me?

If you want to deny your own myth, then you can say so. Moreover, as a disobedient god, you are staying in the Demon King's manor in such a posture... What's going on?"

"Wow, you're quite sharp-tongued."

Being hit on the sore spot, Athena stared at Guinevere coldly. Liliana couldn't help but become nervous and took two steps towards Jiang Liu. Even Jiang Liu felt that Athena was going to attack the next moment.

But unexpectedly, Athena did not kill Guinevere, and the atmosphere became more relaxed.

"You actually have the guts to confront me head-on. For your courage, I will forgive you this time for your disrespect. Besides... I am indeed being supported by this man now, and I do not intend to deny this fact."

"what?!"

Guinevere and Athena looked at Jiang Liu at the same time. The God Ancestor's eyes were filled with surprise and disbelief, while the Goddess of Wisdom's eyes were filled with shame and indifference.

Jiang Liu spread his hands, indicating that you guys can continue, it has nothing to do with me.

In fact, he had heard almost everything. From their conversation and in conjunction with the worldview of "God Slayer", he could basically outline the general situation.

In the story of "God Killer", in addition to the existence of God Killer and the God of Disobedience, there is also a more grand background, which is the transition from matriarchal society to patriarchal society in ancient times, and the impact it had on the mythological body.

To put it simply, the mother goddesses who originally had higher status were overthrown from their thrones by the paternal gods and became vassals of the paternal gods instead.

The representative among the mother goddesses is the primordial Earth Goddess, while the representative among the male gods is the Steel Hero God.

In this context, the Earth Mother Goddess naturally feels disgust and hostility towards "Steel" and even all the Father Gods.

However, the goddess in Guinevere's previous life seemed to have betrayed the position of the Earth Mother and served a male god (most likely "Steel"), which caused Athena's contempt.

By the way, from Jiang Liu’s perspective, although Guinevere also refuted it by using the status of Athena in Greek mythology, thinking that Athena was not much better, in fact, the two of them were completely different.

Guinevere seemed to be willing to serve the hero, whether for love or loyalty, but she was probably not forced, but devoted herself wholeheartedly, and did not repent even after a thousand years.

But Athena never bowed to the Father from beginning to end!

The devaluation of the divinity was entirely due to the myth. Athena herself never admitted defeat, nor thought of giving up, and always tried to restore her ancient appearance.

She seems to have been wandering on the earth for thousands of years, always looking for the "Snake", hoping to regain the power of her heyday, so as to challenge the Father Gods.

This kind of perseverance and determination is more like "steel" than "steel"!

Although she was defeated by Jiang Liu in the first battle after fulfilling her long-cherished wish and returning to her queen form...but her will and divine power were so great that even Jiang Liu, the victor, could not help but admire her.

To such an Athena, Guinevere, who actively flatters the Hero of Steel, is simply a deliberate disgusting presence!

Her mood was probably similar to that of a patriot seeing a traitor...

As for Guinevere's ridicule, she was not unable to refute it, but she just ignored it.

There was no need for her to lower herself to Guinevere and explain that she was only serving Jiang Liu because she was willing to accept defeat - Guinevere, who had a love-brain, would not understand that.

"cough!"

Feeling that the time was about right, Jiang Liu spoke to break the awkward atmosphere.

"You guys are just talking here, but I'm confused. Can't anyone explain to me what's going on? Who are you talking about? "That man"——"

Guinevere heard this and said seriously: "That is the King of Heroes we serve, the final god who will save the world in the end!"

"Humph!"

Athena snorted coldly at first, then looked at Jiang Liu expressionlessly.

"That man is the heroic god this slave serves, and he is also the strongest "steel". "

"The strongest? No one else?"

Jiang Liu noticed this adjective, glanced at Athena, and found that the goddess was not joking at all.

"There are countless heroes in mythology. Even Hercules or the Monkey King cannot necessarily be called the strongest."

"That man is different."

When Athena said this, Guinevere's face was filled with pride and longing.

“Although the Steel Heroes each have their own strengths and have made great achievements in mythology, and the power of each of them cannot be ignored, there is only one man who is recognized by the gods as the "strongest"!

Because... he bears such a "fate". "

"Destiny?" Jiang Liu has heard it more than once since he came to this world.

"Because he is the 'Demonic King Slayer' favored by the gods, and has the mission to annihilate all the demon kings on earth - the God Slayers, he must be the 'strongest' existence!"

Suddenly, Jiang Liu remembered what Tyus, the God of Light, had said to him.

The hero who annihilates the Demon King... The final test that the God Slayers must face...

So it's this Hero of Steel God!

"Whenever a God Slayer brings suffering to the world, he will wake up from his eternal slumber and wipe out all the demon kings. From ancient times to the present, there has been no exception. Countless God Slayers have fallen at his hands."

"Who is he?"

Jiang Liu was not afraid at all. Instead, he was eager to try.

"Tell me his real name!"

"I don't know." Athena shook her head gently. "His real name has been lost in the reincarnation. Its mythological heritage is difficult to trace back. Even I can't determine his real name without any clues."

"When will he wake up?" Jiang Liu asked, "How can I find him?"

Guinevere looked at Jiang Liu in surprise, and suddenly felt that she had made the right trip. Although she was scared half to death by Athena, she successfully aroused the interest of a godslayer, which should be helpful in finding that adult.

Athena shook her head, and the goddess of wisdom rarely expressed that she was powerless, but she quickly pointed at Guinevere.

"This slave girl should have some clues related to the cause and effect. If you can give me the clues, it won't take long to find him."

"—"

Guinevere's whole body trembled, and her heart stopped for a moment as if it was grabbed by a big hand.

Jiang Liu also looked at Guinevere, but shook his head gently: "What a pity..."

"Yeah, what a shame," Athena agreed.

"What a pity it's not the real one" - the two of them looked at the blonde girl and murmured in unison.

Guinevere couldn't help but look a little upset, but she managed to control it.

In fact, her magic disguise might be very clever, even able to deceive some godslayers, but to the ancient Earth Mother it was an extremely ridiculous trick, so it was not surprising that it was exposed.

"Ms. Guinevere, you came to me because the god I killed has similar attributes to yours, so you wanted to test me?"

Jiang Liu smiled and said, "Your ultimate goal is to awaken the hero, and I also want to challenge him... How about this, you give the things in your hand to me and Athena, and we will help you find them, how about that?"

"Uh..." Guinevere fell silent. When she raised her head again and looked at Jiang Liu and the others, she revealed her undisguised hostility.

hum!

He neither fled nor resisted, but simply let the clone destroy itself, and a burst of cursed light dissipated in the atmosphere...

Just like that, when this God Ancestor came, he was determined to use the river flow as bait to lure out a brave man, but in the end, not only did he catch nothing, but he also attracted the covetousness of two monsters... He was very unlucky.

Jiang Liu felt a little regretful: "I really want to help her find it."

"That man is completely different from the other disobedient gods. Even you may not be able to defeat him."

Athena gave him a sidelong glance and said, "Besides, after waking him up, you won't have any way out. Is this really okay?"

"Oh? Are you thinking about me?" Jiang Liu said with a playful smile, "Thank you for worrying about me, goddess."

"Go to hell!"

The silver-haired goddess had a cold expression and her eyes were murderous.

"If it weren't for the contract, I wouldn't have used that man at all. Now I want to kill you."

"How horrible! What a waste of such a pretty face."

Jiang Liu said this jokingly, then restrained himself and asked Athena seriously.

"Does he have a code name?"

"The King of the End!"

Athena looked at Jiang Liu without dodging or evading.

"The King who appeared at the end of the world, the Steel Hero who annihilated the Demon King and saved the world!"

"I'm really looking forward to meeting him. I feel like he'll be an unprecedentedly strong enemy."

Jiang Liu let out a long sigh and said with a smile: "But before that, I have to take care of some things first."

"whats the matter?"

The one who asked the question was Liliana. For some reason, she felt that Jiang Liu's tone sounded like that of a warrior about to go on a long journey.

Sure enough, Jiang Liu said to her: "I am going to travel for a while, maybe only four or five days, or maybe ten days or half a month, but in any case I will be back soon."

"King, please allow me to accompany you so that I can take care of your daily life." Liliana said immediately and anxiously.

"Well... this won't work." Jiang Liu thought about it and finally rejected the fairy swordsman.

"But don't worry, I never break a promise and will come back as soon as possible. Don't let your guard down during this period of time. I will check your swordsmanship later."

"Yes! I understand!" Liliana nodded vigorously, without any doubt about Jiang Liu's words.

"Where are we going?" Athena asked Jiang Liu.

She signed a master-servant contract with Jiang Liu, and it was on the soul level, so naturally she thought she would travel with Jiang Liu.

"This... huh?"

Jiang Liu shook his head and was about to speak when he suddenly froze.

"Yes, with your strength... and you are my Servant. We have signed a soul contract, so we are one."

He looked Athena up and down carefully, and wanted to go to another world alone as before, but he couldn't help but have a new idea.

Chapter 583: There's nothing to be afraid of anymore

"God, save us!"

People's screams, wails, and howls, monsters' roars, hisses, and groans, collapsed houses, burning palaces, crowded temples... so many sounds were violently mixed together, creating a tragic scene of a Shura field.

But unlike the Shura Field, there is no evenly matched fighting here, only one-sided devastation and extermination.

Biting, pouncing, piercing, throwing, swallowing... huge four-legged monsters walked through the city with their heads held high, their claws covered in blood, their fangs hung with bloody flesh remnants, and their long manes dyed a dirty dark red and kneaded together in a sticky mass like mud.

Broken limbs and debris were everywhere, and pieces of flesh that could not be called human were randomly abandoned on the road. However, no one was able to collect them. All the survivors were running, stepping on the pools of blood created by their compatriots, leaving dark mud footprints on the loess path.

Run, run, run... If you slow down even half a step you will be killed, so you can't stop no matter what!

However, no matter how hard they tried, their fate could not be changed. One by one, the survivors were caught up and killed by the four-legged beasts, and were ruthlessly torn in half.

The number of people was decreasing, and a few soldiers united to resist, but they could not even last half a minute before they were drowned in the tide of monsters.

The city has been virtually destroyed, and it is only a matter of time before the humans left here are wiped out.

The monsters, which look like a cross between a lion and a jackal, have no mercy and will not be satisfied. They are always hungry no matter how much they kill, because they are "designed" this way.

Biting and swallowing are just imitating the instincts of wild beasts. In fact, they will not feel full even if they do so, or they don't need to eat to sustain their lives.

They are monsters that exist only for killing. Their sharp claws and fangs are definitely not for hunting. There is only one thing they need to do - and that is to kill all humans in the world!
