"You win. As long as I live, I will do anything you ask me to do."

"Tsk, I didn't expect you to be so sensible."

Metis looked at Tosaka Kiyoshi helplessly and said, "I didn't expect that the person I met five years ago would be the long-lost Sun God, and he also possesses overwhelming power."

"Why? Are you curious about where my power comes from?"

Metis shook his head and said, "Compared to this, I'm more curious about why you helped Athena. I remember that your relationship was quite tense at that time."

After hearing this, Medusa also became interested in the matter and immediately pricked up her ears, not wanting to miss any details.

Athena suddenly felt something was wrong. Before she could stop him, Tousaka Kiyoshi blurted out, "Because she has been my pillow for more than a year and sleeps with me every day. If I don't help her, who else can I help?"

Metis looked stunned, then looked at Athena with disdain: "Before you said that I was submitting to Zeus, but now I am also submitting to Apollo, right?"

Medusa walked aside silently and covered her ears.

She seemed to have heard some terrible news just now. It is not a good thing to know too much, so she decided to hide here for a while.

Athena's face flushed immediately when she heard Metis' ridicule. After a long pause, she finally said, "He's different..."

Metis looked at Tosaka Kiyoshi and said, "What's the difference? He is the son of Zeus. If you really follow him, wouldn't you become my daughter-in-law? Do you want to call me mother?"

At this time, Tosaka Kiyoshi couldn't help but say, "I have nothing to do with that old pervert Zeus. I am not only the sun god in Greek mythology, but also the sun gods in various parts of the world. Apollo is just one of them."

Metis suddenly realized: "No wonder you are so strong."

Then Metis licked her lips and said seductively, "I wonder if you have any plans to get an extra pillow? I look so much better now than Athena's skinny figure."

Tosaka Kiyoshi refused: "I'm sorry, I'm not interested in married women."

Metis's face froze, and then she spoke awkwardly: "That's just a relationship in the myth compiled by humans, which is equivalent to the setting of the story. In the story, I was swallowed by Zeus, but now I am still in front of you, right?"

Tousaka Kiyoshi remained unmoved.

Metis seemed to have thought of something and suddenly realized: "Could it be that you just particularly like petite girls? It's really a weird hobby."

Tosaka Kiyoshi showed a dangerous smile: "What are you talking about? I don't understand at all. By the way, Nana, how can we get the power in her hands back to you? Just kill her, right?"

Athena loved to see the fight between Kiyoshi Toosaka and Metis. She was watching the fun from the side, but was pulled out by Kiyoshi Toosaka.

"If I kill her, the power of Hades and darkness will return to the underworld. Hades controls the underworld now. Doing this will make Hades the new ruler of the underworld, and I will never be able to regain the power of Hades and darkness."

Metis ignored Tosaka Kiyoshi's affectionate address to Athena and nodded quickly: "That's right, she is right, so you must not kill me!"

Tosaka Kiyoshi complained: "As a god, could you please stop being so afraid of death?"

In fact, Metis was not that afraid of death, otherwise she would not have surrendered so decisively.

If we fall into the hands of the enemy, who knows what will happen to us.

The reason why she acted so cherishing her life was not only because resistance was meaningless, but also because she saw that Toosaka Kiyoshi had no intention of killing her, so she cooperated with him and performed to make Toosaka Kiyoshi think that she was easy to control, and she would not have to suffer torture.

Since resistance is meaningless, why not make yourself live more comfortably?

Seeing that Metis didn't speak, Tousaka Kiyoshi turned to Athena and asked: "How can I help you regain your lost power? Is it related to the Gorgon Stone?"

Athena nodded. "The Gorgon Stone not only contains my lost power, but also symbolizes the despised goddess. As long as you hold the Gorgon Stone, it represents the return of the former glory of the Earth Mother. The power of the earth, sky, and Hades will be unified in one."

Tousaka Kiyoshi looked at Metis and said, "So it's useless to capture her?"

Athena was silent for a moment before she spoke: "At least this way she won't stop me anymore."

Kiyoshi Toosaka immediately looked at Metis with ill intent.

Metis quickly said, "Don't! I am useful! Very useful! You don't know where the Gorgon Stone is, right?"

Athena immediately looked at Metis: "You know?"

Compared to Tousaka Kiyoshi, it's not surprising. If the Gorgon Stone is really as important as Athena said, then the gods of Olympus must be looking for it.

Especially the gods who inherited some of Athena's powers, such as Hades.

Although he is now called Hades, the power of the underworld lies in Metis, and he is a very unsuccessful Hades.

The Gorgon Stone was also very important to Metis. As long as she obtained the Gorgon Stone, she would be able to inherit all of Athena's power. At that time, even Zeus would not dare to be presumptuous when seeing her. How could she not be interested in the Gorgon Stone?

In response to Athena's question, Metis quietly turned her head and looked at Medusa who was squatting beside her.

At this moment, a light bulb went off in Tosaka Kiyoshi's mind, and he instantly realized what was going on.

He had wondered why Metis turned Medusa into a monster. If it was to discredit Athena, why not just let all kinds of monsters attack the city during the five years when Athena was away?

If the city's patron saint fails to protect the humans in the city, humans' faith in Athena will naturally decline.

If this method had been used, weakening the faith in Athena would have been successful long ago.

But Metis pretended to be Athena for five years and served as the patron saint for five years, but Athena gained all the faith, which was equivalent to working for five years in vain.

If her only purpose was to weaken the faith in Athena, then Medusa's entry into the game would have been a long detour and would have been ineffective.

Now seeing the look in Metis' eyes, he understood everything at once.

Medusa is the key to finding the Gorgon Stone. Medusa's entry into the game is ultimately aimed at finding the Gorgon Stone, and weakening the faith in Athena is just a side job.

Athena was not stupid either. After seeing the look in Metis' eyes, she immediately asked, "The Gorgon Stone is related to Medusa, right?"

Metis nodded and said, "The Gorgon Stone is the immortal vessel that Mother Earth sacrificed her life to forge. The only person who can find it is Medusa, who possesses the power of the earth. This is the answer I got after searching for a long time. Even the gods of Olympus didn't tell me."

Tousaka Kiyoshi frowned: "Is cursing Medusa into a monster also necessary to find the Gorgon Stone?"

If this is true, then the fate of this world is really difficult to resist.

If everyone wants you to become a monster, then even if you are not a monster, you will become one.

How innocent this is.

Metis shook her head, "We just need to make Medusa awaken the power she holds. Cursing her to become a monster was Zeus' request."

Chapter 209 If the top beam is not straight, the bottom beam will be crooked sooner or later

Toosaka Kiyoshi took a deep breath. This matter was related to Zeus again. It was getting more and more interesting.

Glancing at Medusa squatting next to him, Tousaka Kiyoshi asked, "Does Zeus have a grudge against her? Why would he ask you to do something like this?"

Metis shook her head. "Zeus and the mortal princess Danaë had a son named Perseus. Zeus asked me to curse Medusa into a monster in order to pave the way for Perseus to become a hero in the eyes of humans a dozen years later."

Tosaka Kiyoshi nodded, "A brave man defeating an evil monster is a popular story that will easily be passed down to future generations. By then, he will probably ask Perseus to come to Nana to borrow some artifacts."

"If Nana doesn't lend the money to subjugate demons, her reputation among humans will be affected. If she lends it, it would be like labeling her own clone as a monster. It seems that Zeus is quite good at disgusting people."

Athena looked at Medusa and knew that she had been drawn into the struggle between the gods and could not escape.

"Medusa, come here."

The voice of the god reached Medusa's ears. Medusa looked up in surprise, but still remembered what Tousaka Kiyoshi said and closed her eyes tightly.

"Are you calling me?"

Medusa slowly came to Athena, and Athena asked, "What are your plans for the future?"

Medusa was stunned, and her mind thought of her dead parents and Tousaka Kiyoshi.

A huge sadness flowed in her heart. Even though the culprit was dead, her normal life would never return.

"I, I will continue to be your priest. When I am able to handle things on my own, I will inherit the job of the high priest..."

As she was talking, Medusa suddenly remembered the high priest whose life or death was unknown, and hurriedly said, "Lady Athena! The high priest was attacked by Poseidon just now. I wonder if she..."

Athena answered first: "Don't worry, she is not dead. The connection between her and me is still there."

Medusa heaved a sigh of relief and continued to answer Athena's question: "Of course, starting today I should take some time off to bury my parents and Tousaka Kiyoshi. Lady Athena, please agree to this."

Athena looked at Medusa and Kiyoshi Tousaka with strange eyes: "You said Kiyoshi Tousaka is dead?"

Medusa was not surprised that Athena knew Kiyoshi Toosaka, because Kiyoshi Toosaka already had the aura of Athena, which meant that Kiyoshi Toosaka was also someone who received the goddess' attention.

"Yes, Lady Athena, he was just killed by Poseidon in order to protect me!"

When mentioning Tousaka Kiyoshi, there was obvious hatred in Medusa's tone, but Poseidon was dead and she had no place to vent her hatred.

Upon hearing this, Athena stared at Tousaka Kiyoshi expressionlessly, as if she was questioning his soul.

Toosaka Kiyoshi looked embarrassed and quickly said to Medusa: "This matter has been resolved, and it is time for me to leave. I will return this body to you. But before that, I have something to give you."

As he spoke, Tosaka Kiyoshi placed a pair of glasses in Medusa's hands and explained: "This thing can suppress your ability to petrify others. Wear it and you can open your eyes."

Medusa was delighted and put on her glasses quickly. Then she felt that the strength in her body was greatly restricted, so she slowly opened her eyes.

After seeing the world again, before she could feel happy, she saw this strange scene before her.

The "other" self was standing in front of her, and there was no difference between them except for the clothes.

Medusa looked at Metis for help: "Lady Athena, why is there another me here?"

Metis looked at Medusa with a confused face and didn't know how to answer.

At this time, Tosaka Kiyoshi's laughter came from the side: "Hahaha, I knew it would be like this. Nana, your priest mistook a fake for you, and you didn't say anything?"

He made the glasses that could suppress Medusa's power temporarily just to see Medusa's current reaction.

When Medusa heard what Tosaka Kiyoshi said, she looked at Metis in surprise and said, "Aren't you Lady Athena?"

Metis nodded helplessly: "I am indeed not."

Medusa looked confused: "What about the real Lady Athena? She was just talking to me."

Medusa's eyes swept across everyone present, but did not stay on Athena for a moment, which made Kiyoshi Toosaka couldn't help laughing again.

Athena had a blank expression on her face. She took the initiative to walk in front of Medusa and said seriously: "I am Athena."

Medusa quickly shook her head: "Please don't say that. Even if you are another me, I will not allow you to pretend to be Lady Athena!"

Athena's little face was suddenly filled with confusion. She was actually an imposter?

Tousaka Kiyoshi suppressed his smile and said, "Well, she really is Athena."

Metis also wanted to laugh, but she didn't dare to, so she had to twist her expression and nodded in cooperation.

In order to prove her identity, Athena also used the mental channel between gods and priests to speak a word to Medusa.

Medusa froze instantly, as if petrified, and only blinked after a long moment.

Then Medusa immediately knelt on the ground, and said in fear and trepidation: "I didn't expect that you are really Lady Athena! I actually made such a serious mistake! Please punish me!"

Athena shook her head and said, "Punishment is fine. My current appearance is only temporary. I have never appeared in front of you before. It is understandable that you did not recognize me."

After Athena's repeated understanding, Medusa stood up from the ground with confidence.

Tousaka Kiyoshi came to Medusa and said, "Then, this body will be returned to you."

After saying that, Tousaka Kiyoshi's eyes suddenly lost focus, and then he seemed to have lost all his strength and fell towards Medusa.

Medusa was even ready to catch Kiyoshi Toosaka, but Athena suddenly stretched out her leg and pulled Medusa away, causing Kiyoshi Toosaka to fall heavily to the ground.

"Lady Athena?" Medusa looked at Athena in confusion, not understanding why Athena didn't let her pick up Kiyoshi Toosaka.

Athena said: "You were deceived by him. He is both Apollo and Tosaka Kiyoshi. They are actually the same person. He was not dead from the beginning, and Poseidon could not kill him."

Medusa became even more confused when she heard this. Seeing this, Athena kicked Kiyoshi Toosaka in the leg as he lay on the ground pretending to be dead.

"Stop playing dead, get up and explain yourself."

Toosaka Kiyoshi stood up helplessly and glanced at Athena resentfully, thinking that she must be taking revenge for his previous ridicule, so she deliberately ruined his plan.

Medusa looked in surprise at Kiyoshi Toosaka, who should have died after losing Apollo's control.

After Tousaka Kiyoshi slowly explained it clearly, she finally understood what Athena had said before.

Medusa felt mixed emotions when she learned the truth. The boy she liked suddenly turned from an ordinary person into a high and mighty god. The huge gap in status made her unsure of how to get along with him.

Of course, all this is secondary. If Tousaka Kiyoshi is willing to accept her, she will naturally accept it with joy.

There was just one thing she wanted to confirm, and she had to confirm it.

After considering her words, Medusa spoke in a respectful tone: "Lord Sun God, I have a question that I want your answer no matter what. Were the words you said in the hall before sincere or deceptive?"

Tousaka Kiyoshi asked, "What would you do if I said I was just teasing you?"

Hearing this, Medusa gently closed her eyes, her face full of sadness and heartache: "You are the Lord God, even if you are teasing me, I can't do anything. But it's not good to play with other people's feelings, I still hope you can change this bad habit."

"Tsk, how dare you say such things when you know I'm a god."
