American Comics: Trading Tom Cat

Medusa's heart skipped a beat, but soon, the leaf in her palm gave her the last bit of courage, and she responded in kind.

"Your Majesty, I understand your anger, but you should also understand my despair!"

"If you take another step forward, the outcome may not be as good as you imagine, and you may have to pay a price!"

Poseidon, the god of the sea, was so angry he laughed. The daughter of a trashy sea god whom he had bullied so easily dared to threaten him?

Interesting? No, it wasn't interesting at all. Instead, it filled him with anger, endless anger!

A raging sea is powerful enough to swallow and drown everything!

Boom! Boom! Boom…

Behind us, the increasingly terrifying waves roared and howled madly, proclaiming the power and tyranny of the sea to all people and gods!

"I'd like to see how you'll make me pay the price!"

Poseidon, the sea god, strode towards Medusa. He could no longer tolerate her; he wanted to make this little goddess understand the consequences of offending the sea god's majesty!

As the object drew ever closer, Medusa sighed inwardly, "O unknown god, you said not to use your power unless absolutely necessary, but now I am in dire straits. Please forgive me."

The next moment, Medusa, just as the god had instructed, forcefully tore the leaf to shreds.

In an instant, a vast divine light soared into the sky, its azure radiance breaking through the shadow of the sea that blotted out the sun, turning the entire sky blue.

Poseidon's expression changed slightly: "Is this your so-called trump card that will make me pay the price?"

"The unfamiliar aura of divine power doesn't seem to belong to your useless old father."

Poseidon raised his head with interest: "Interesting, it's still ice-type divine power. There's actually an ice-type god who dares to oppose me!"

He is the Sea Emperor, the ruler of the sea, the highest water deity. Ice is also under his rule, and is even just a small branch under him, so how could he possibly be afraid?

"The power of the sea submits to my rule!"

With a sudden swing of the trident in his hand, the vast ocean transformed into towering waves that blocked out the sun, ready to violently tear apart that divine power!

A mere ice god was not enough to make Poseidon, the Sea Emperor, take real action. The reason he made such a move was that he planned to use a special divine power imbued with the Sea Emperor's will to tear apart the opponent's divine power and severely injure the hidden god at the same time. This was the Sea Emperor's punishment.

Seeing the countless terrifying sea tornadoes shooting into the sky, Medusa's heart couldn't help but leap into her throat.

Can that unknown deity truly rival such power?

The next moment, the entire sky suddenly lit up. Unlike the deep blue of the sea god's power, this was a crystal blue, like ice crystals. The crystal blue radiance illuminated the entire sky.

Immediately afterwards, a blast of ice tore through the sky!

Upon closer inspection, it wasn't cold at all; it was the fingertip, as heavy as a mountain. The next moment, the entire sky shattered, revealing a single finger!

A terrifyingly giant finger, composed entirely of pure icy divine power, resembling a pillar of heaven.

This was like the finger of an ancient giant god, instantly tearing the sky apart, freezing everything, shattering the sea tornadoes wielded by the sea god, and pressing down on the sea god Poseidon, who was as insignificant as an ant.

Poseidon, the sea god, was instantly terrified: "The supreme god!!!"

"How is this possible! How could there be a god of ice other than me in this world?!"

"I do not believe!"

Poseidon, the sea god, roared, his trident held horizontally above, upon which boundless sea god power gathered.

"Die! You despicable false god!"

The sea roared, divine power gathered, forming towering waves that seemed poised to destroy the entire sky!

However, faced with that finger that seemed to originate from an ancient giant god, the towering waves were instantly frozen and shattered!

The next moment, the giant finger landed squarely on the area where Poseidon, the sea god, was located.

boom! ! ! !

The earth was shattered, and the ocean was split in two!

A moment later, everything dissipated.

His Majesty Poseidon, the high and mighty sea god, has vanished without a trace.

The entire region, both land and sea, was now frozen in two, the whole world appearing as if it had been transformed into a frozen wasteland broken in two.

Chapter 118 Athena's Wisdom

The world was covered in ice and snow, a vast expanse of crystal blue, exuding a dangerous beauty.

Medusa watched this scene in utter shock. She guessed that the unknown god might be powerful, but she never imagined that he would be this powerful.

An ice god whose strength actually surpasses that of the king of the sea!

This is completely illogical. Perhaps there is only one possibility: it is actually a second-generation god? Or even a first-generation god?

As the daughter of a god, Medusa naturally knew that the gods of today were only the third generation of gods.

Suddenly, streaks of light fell from the sky, each streak representing a god.

Normally, a battle between two ordinary gods can attract countless attention, let alone a battle between two main gods.

At this moment, all kinds of gods, whether common or uncommon, powerful or weak, gathered here.

Even most of the twelve Olympian gods had gathered at this time, and the one ranked first among the gods was naturally Zeus, the king of the gods.

Zeus paid no attention to Medusa, even though she was truly beautiful, with a beauty that even goddesses were said to envy. Now was not the time to hunt for her.

He gazed intently at the frozen earth, and more importantly, at Poseidon, the sea god deep within it.

Even ordinary gods find it difficult to fight each other to a draw, let alone two main gods. Poseidon, the sea god and ruler of the ocean, is not so weak that he could be killed in one move.

But Zeus soon frowned.

“Poseidon wasn’t seriously injured, but he was sealed away, completely sealed beneath this icy divine power.”

"Even with His Majesty the God-King's power, it's not enough to break the seal?"

Upon hearing this, Zeus did not reply; instead, his expression grew even more grim.

This power of ice seems ordinary; the god of ice has never been considered a powerful branch of the Greek pantheon. But the problem is, he can't understand it!

The icy divine power below, in a way he couldn't understand at all, sealed Poseidon within it while simultaneously drawing away Poseidon's power to maintain the seal itself!

Zeus had a feeling that if he forcibly broke the seal, the most likely outcome would be that he would also kill Poseidon!

If it were just a simple seal, there would even be gods who specialize in sealing. But the problem is, this is not as simple as a normal seal at all.

In Zeus's perception, the seal below was utterly absurd, as if it were imbued with an innate concept. This concept, called Poseidon, was one with the seal, like the sun rising in the east and setting in the west, or water flowing downhill—a fundamental concept of the world.

How the hell do we crack this thing?

"Okeanos? Thetis? When did they acquire this ability?"

"Could this be the Titans preparing to make a comeback, and this time, choosing one of them as the second-generation God-King?"

For a moment, Zeus fell into deep thought.

For him, he didn't care about the deaths or injuries of humans, or even the fall of a supreme god. What he cared more about was whether any god threatened his rule. This was a perspective different from that of other beings.

At that moment, a female deity clad in armor among the gods inadvertently cast a strange glance at a figure secretly hiding in her temple.

Zeus, and even the gods, might have been thinking about high-level topics like a new war of the gods or the fuse that might ignite it, but only she knew that this inexplicable sealing of Poseidon was actually just a humble goddess's stubborn resistance to prevent her chastity from being taken away by a lewd old god.

Everything happened in Athena's temple, so naturally no one knew what had happened better than her.

For some reason, she didn't say anything at this moment, letting the gods and Zeus speculate wildly.

A strange smile inexplicably appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Unexpectedly, this seemingly ordinary and lowly goddess actually had such a hidden trick up her sleeve. This is really interesting.

Athena is the goddess of wisdom, and the ability to assess situations is a fundamental manifestation of wisdom.

The gods quickly departed with heavy hearts, and until the very end, none of them paid any attention to the insignificant Medusa.

Only after the gods had been gone for a long, long time did Medusa cautiously peek out, pat her chest, and unconsciously stir up a surge of emotion.

"Are you scared?"

A voice suddenly rang out, tinged with amusement.

Medusa was startled and quickly turned around, but the movement was so violent that it stirred up another amazing wave.

The turbulent scene caused Athena's previously teasing expression to freeze inexplicably, and then she unconsciously pursed her lips.

"Athena!" Medusa exclaimed, then immediately knelt down respectfully.

Regardless of whether the other party truly refused to help, as a demigod descended from a god, maintaining respect in the face of this powerful chief god is essential.

If one does not show the gods the utmost respect and is killed without warning, that would be truly a heartbreaking situation.

"You still resent me, don't you? Resent my inaction in your time of need, resent that your fervent prayers had no effect."

Medusa lowered her head even further: "Medusa dares not."

"It's not that I can't, but that I dare not."

Medusa trembled involuntarily.

"Don't be afraid, I am not the kind of god who kills indiscriminately."

Medusa did not raise her head, but remained bowed, respectfully.

Seeing this, Athena shook her head and sighed, "I understand your resentment, but have you ever considered what I can do?"

Medusa was taken aback, cautiously raising her head and asking with some confusion, "You are the goddess of wisdom, aren't you?"

"Yes, I am the goddess of wisdom. Moreover, I am also the goddess of war, crafts, art, wisdom, and justice. I am also the patron goddess of agriculture, horticulture, sculptors, architects, cities, and heroes."

"But, so what?"

“Poseidon is the brother of Zeus, the king of the gods, and his divine power is even greater than mine. What can I do?”

"Go to war with him? I have no chance of winning. Help you once, rescue you? What good will that do? I can't protect you forever, and you are not my subject. Besides, I may not be able to protect you for long."

Medusa fell silent. These words were harsh, but they were undeniably true. However, it was unlikely that such a short conversation could dispel all the negative emotions within her.

"You need to know one thing: the worst consequence of this is that your innocence will be taken away, but so what? It won't threaten your life. Otherwise, I would have saved you myself and at least given you a chance to escape."

"You should know that even among the highest gods, only three, including myself, can remain pure. When chaos becomes the norm, then normalcy becomes a sin."

"You lack the power to protect your beauty, yet you have gained a beauty coveted even by the gods; this is your sin."

Medusa became increasingly silent.

Athena didn't give her much time to think and continued speaking.

Do you know how I plan to treat you in the end?

Medusa suddenly raised her head, looked at Athena blankly, and finally shook her head.

"I will unleash my fury upon you, and utter the most venomous curse in the world upon you, turning you into the ugliest serpent monster in existence!"

Medusa's eyes widened suddenly as she stared at Athena in disbelief, her gaze filled with shock, fear, and confusion.

"You don't understand why I treated you that way, right? It wasn't your fault at all~"

Medusa nodded.

“You underestimate my uncles and elders. You think what you’re facing now is just the end? No, this is just the beginning.”

"When Poseidon expresses his satisfaction with your beauty among the gods, telling all the gods about its wonders, believe me, more and more gods will be eyeing you. And don't expect Poseidon to save you. Haha, the number of women he has abandoned could fill the entire Mount Olympus."

... ...... ....

"In the end, you will become a pathetic plaything of the gods, and neither you nor your father can change that outcome."

"Your beauty is your curse, your sin, but my curse and wrath can change everything and save you from this tragic end."

"Furthermore, as my most vicious curse, you will also gain extremely powerful strength, a strength that will even allow you to threaten most of the gods, and this will also become your power to protect yourself."

At that moment, for some inexplicable reason, Medusa was suddenly moved.

The goddess Athena could not change everything, but she did choose a path for her, a path that would allow her to live and gain power.

Athena truly lives up to her reputation as the most benevolent goddess.

"Goddess Athena, may I ask..."

"You want to ask if you can have the power to freely control your transformation into a basilisk, right? I don't have that ability, and I won't do it, because there is never a perfect choice in this world. When you can freely control this power, it means that your sin has not been absolved, and the gods' covetousness of you will not stop. You cannot be saved forever. Only by completely eradicating your sin can you be saved."
