The Warrior of Love

Athena integrated the information from the Council of Sages, the Black Prince, and Guinevere in her mind, sorted out her thoughts, and then spoke to Jiang Liu.

"In the past, the Japanese magic world once suffered a catastrophe. Luo Hao, the martial arts king of Jiangnan, China, came to Japan and fought with local forces. The result was undoubtedly a complete victory for the martial arts king as a godslayer.

Japan's magic societies and magic families are simply unable to resist this king and can only be slaughtered like lambs to be slaughtered."

"Is this matter related to the Last King?" Jiang Liu asked doubtfully.

"Just listen to what's going on... The root cause of this incident is that the Japanese magic forces have imprisoned a certain God of Steel and raised him in a shrine to defeat the dragons and snakes that appeared in Japan.

This God of Steel was a hero from Chinese mythology. The martial arts king Luo Hao could not bear to see the Chinese hero being kept by the Japanese, so he directly attacked the headquarters of the Japanese magic world, wanting to punish them and defeat the spineless God of Steel.

However, due to various reasons, she failed to conquer the enemy and simply cleansed out the local forces before returning to China.

This matter is not over yet. I think she will go to Japan again sooner or later to kill the God of Steel.

——This matter seems to have nothing to do with the "King of the Last", but if you look deeper, you will find some clues. "

Athena paused for a moment and asked Jiang Liu seriously, "The biggest flaw is, why did those forces in Japan detain a disobedient god to fight against the dragon and snake?"

Jiang Liu was stunned: "Didn't you say it was used to deal with dragons and snakes... Oh, is that so? It's really unreasonable."

A normal person would not provoke a disobedient god that is ten or a hundred times more terrifying than the one that appeared just to defeat a dragon or snake that appeared out of nowhere!

That is a god, and the most aggressive God of Steel. The energy required to imprison such a being, as well as the risks involved, are much greater than simply dealing with dragons and snakes!

It's like keeping a lion in the room to catch mice.

"They are going to such great lengths, probably not to prevent the dragons and snakes from bringing disaster, but because they are afraid that the existence of the dragons and snakes will attract some scary creatures."

Athena said solemnly: "And it is more terrifying than the ordinary disobedient gods, so much so that they are forced to take risks to imprison the God of Steel, so as to defeat the dragon and snake in time and avoid any accidents.

So what on earth could have scared them so much, and what could have something to do with dragons and snakes?"

"The Last King is sleeping in Japan?"

Jiang Liu suddenly realized: "If this is true, then everything makes sense."

There is no need to explain much about the relationship between the God of Steel and dragons and snakes. The strong aura of dragons and snakes may indeed attract the steel hero who can exorcise demons.

If the "tomb" of the Last King is in Japan, then the local forces who know this, in order to prevent the breath of the dragon and snake from awakening the Last King, deliberately imprisoned a God of Steel to deal with this matter.

——reasonable.

After all, even if the Last King is a hero who annihilates the Demon King (God Slayer), he is still a disobedient God, and the appearance of a disobedient God always leads to disasters.

The changes in heaven and earth caused by the Last King are particularly terrifying!

According to Athena, the Last King is the mortal enemy of the Earth Goddess. As long as he walks on the earth, he will continue to destroy the environment and may even cause the end of the world.

It is only natural that the Japanese would be afraid of this.

"Of course, this is just speculation. Without actually seeing the final king's resting place, we can't be 100% sure."

"This is simple."

Jiang Liu took over Athena's words and chuckled, "Just go to Japan."

Chapter 729: The Virgin Goddess's Man

"Tremble! Kneel down! Tiny humans, I am your ruler and the king of all the seas! Offer your worship, only in this way can you gain the sea's forgiveness!"

Rumbling--

Dark clouds covered the sea, loud thunders rang out in the sky, blazing white lightning illuminated the sea and the sky, and also reflected the vast inky black sea.

A dazzling sacred figure stood in the sky, and beneath him was a golden chariot pulled by white horses. The rolling wheels made a roar no weaker than thunder, attracting everyone's attention.

What was strange was that despite such a bizarre sight, none of the people took out their mobile phones to record it all. Instead, they all knelt down and prayed to the figure in the sky.

They murmured a name, and millions of voices gathered together, which could be heard clearly even in the sky, making the god even more excited.

“Hahaha! It’s me as expected! It turns out that only I am worthy of the title of King of Gods, and only I am the patron saint that you should worship!”

Suddenly, he pulled the reins to stop the chariot, raised his weapon and pointed it somewhere.

"Well, little girl! Do you understand the difference between you and me now? This city should belong to me, from the beginning to the end! Wahahahaha!"

In a temple outside the city, the silver-haired goddess Athena who was pointed at by him couldn't help but twitch her eyes. Perhaps it was because her emotions were too complicated, even she, who was always icy, couldn't help it.

"Are you kidding..."

I don't know what she was referring to, but Athena had a subtle expression on her face, as if she had seen a pop idol she didn't like.

Jiang Liu, Lily, and Guinevere were also beside her. When they saw the figure in the sky, their reactions were slightly different.

Lily was mainly surprised, while Guinevere and Jiang Liu looked at Athena teasingly, expecting the reaction of the goddess of wisdom.

"Don't look at me like that!"

Athena glanced at Jiang Liu and said, "I didn't expect this to happen, and I don't even know this guy."

"Okay." Jiang Liu shrugged, "But he should be coming for you."

The silver-haired goddess remained silent. Although she wanted to deny her relationship with the guy above, the fact could not be covered up. She was indeed the reason why the other party appeared.

——The incident started with Athena’s whim.

When Jiang Liu decided to go to the Far East to find the Last King, a group of four set out from Rome and originally planned to go straight to their destination, but Athena suddenly proposed to go back to Greece.

The reason was that there was something there that she could use.

It is said that before she met Jiang Liu, she had been sleeping in this world for thousands of years. During this period, she woke up several times and began to wander. She discovered many relics and ancient treasures, even the heritage of the Mother Earth.

However, she never found the "Gorgon Stone" and all she found belonged to other goddesses.

The symbolic sacred objects of different goddesses were difficult to use directly, and even if one had those legacies, they would not be of much use.

But now it is different. She has the Holy Grail in her hand, which can absorb and store the essence of the earth. She can completely extract and refine the cursed power from those divine tools.

If these resources can be used well, both Athena and Jiang Liu will make great progress!

This was also a good thing for Jiang Liu. As the saying goes, sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. It would not hurt to increase his strength before challenging the last king, so he followed Athena to Greece.

After staying for about three days, he collected several divine tools one after another, which further increased the power of the Holy Grail's curse. However, at the last stop, which was the "hometown" of the silver-haired goddess - Athens, he encountered an unexpected change.

That is the god of disobedience who is now laughing loudly in the sky with a smug look on his face - Poseidon, the god of the sea.

"The differences between gods are also quite large."

Jiang Liu glanced at Poseidon, recalled the several disobedient gods he had met, and shook his head secretly.

Compared to pure warriors like Hercules, Bartras and Veleslana, Poseidon's words and deeds are a bit exaggerated, and do not quite fit the identity of the three giants of Olympus in mythology.

However, the so-called disobedient gods are an existence that deviates from mythology. Infected by madness, they will be extremely indulgent and live only to satisfy their own wishes.

In this situation, it is normal for the God of Disobedience to make some exaggerated moves...

Moreover, according to the records, Poseidon's character was not very stable, and he was always a bohemian person.

This guy has a connection with Athena in Greek mythology. The two gods fought for the ownership of a city. In the end, Athena won and named the city "Athens".

——This anecdote is quite famous, which indirectly shows that Athena’s status is not inferior to Poseidon and is second only to Zeus on Mount Olympus.

Because of this relationship, it is not difficult to understand why Poseidon appeared in Athens and challenged the goddess of wisdom.

However, the last time Jiang Liu and Athena had their final battle here, it should have been louder and easier to awaken the disobedient god.

As a result, Poseidon didn't move that time, but appeared at this time... It can only be said that it was pure luck.

"Although they are enemies in mythology, I have never actually seen "this" Poseidon."

Athena frowned slightly. "A thousand years ago, when I first came to the human world from the immortal realm, I did meet Neptune... He was much more stable than this guy now."

Jiang Liu smiled slightly: "After all, the image of gods is ever-changing. Even the same god has different sides. What's more, myths from different places are often integrated. No matter how strange the creatures are, it's normal."

"King, what should we do now?"

Lily glanced at Poseidon, then at the tourists kneeling outside the temple - she thought the residents of the city should be doing the same.

"If we fight with the disobedient Poseidon, Athens will definitely be affected, and there is even a risk of being submerged by a tsunami!"

"Never allow this to happen!"

Before Jiang Liu could say anything, Athena said, "This is my territory, and no one can trample on it. If we want to defeat Poseidon, we must find a safe place!"

"A safe place...Okay, that's decided."

An idea flashed through Jiang Liu's mind, and he raised his neck and shouted loudly to the sea god who was driving the carriage.

"Your Majesty Poseidon, do you dare to challenge me in a duel?"

"Hmm? Humans...are they godslayers?"

Poseidon frowned slightly. "Back off, Godslayer! The only one who can fight me is the goddess Athena. Since we have met in this land of deep cause and effect, we are destined to fight! I am not opposed to fighting with the Godslayer, but that will have to be after Athena and I have decided the winner."

When saying this, Poseidon was very serious, no longer as frivolous as before. As expected, gods are gods. Although their appearance, words and deeds may be distorted by myths, their essence is still majestic.

"That's right..."

Athena also nodded: "This battle is my destiny."

"You haven't fully recovered from the injuries left by the divine sword, have you?"

Jiang Liu's voice turned cold: "Although you tried your best to cover it up, you can't hide it from me if you only repair it on the surface."

"Uh..." Athena was silent.

It can only be said that the "Steel" is worthy of being the Last King. The restraining effect on the Earth Mother Goddess is too obvious. Although the divine sword only pierced the shoulder, which is not a vital point, the sharp aura has always remained on the wound, like a maggot on the tarsal bone.

Athena can only use the essence in the Holy Grail to continuously dissipate this power, and this is a relatively long process.

The reason why she came to Greece to dig up those heritages was partly because she had consumed extra magical energy.

"Wounded men, move back."

Jiang Liu's tone was calm but unquestionable: "I will take over this battle."

"You...okay..."

Athena wanted to refute, but for some reason she couldn't say it, so she had to obey Jiang Liu's will.

"I will replace Athena." Jiang Liu said loudly.

"What qualifications do you have to replace her?" Poseidon asked.

"I am her Lord..."

Jiang Liu paused, and Athena also cast a cold look at him.

If the master-servant relationship between Jiang Liu and Athena was revealed here, the goddess of wisdom would probably be severely ridiculed by Poseidon.

Think carefully and reflect on it. How can I replace her in a natural way?

Friendship... probably not possible.

correct!

Jiang Liu suddenly had an idea and said:

"I'm her man!"

"—"

The silver-haired goddess' eyes widened instantly, and her fair face turned red with embarrassment.

It’s better to tell the truth!

This bastard, I am a virgin goddess... I will kill him sooner or later!

Chapter 730: Two Golden Chariots

"man?"

Poseidon was obviously stunned for a moment, and then the look in his eyes when he looked at Athena was different.
