Nobody knows how to be a villain better than me.

This wandering star vanguard has just arrived in Greece and has not yet absorbed enough evolved spiritual particles, so its strength is not as great as that of Sephalus.

Like Tian Ji's horse racing strategy, the best horses against the worst, there's a chance, so go for it!

Seeing that the situation was beyond his control, Samael decided to fight to the death, flapped his wings, and transformed into a streak of light, rushing towards the coast of Athens.

"Grandson, look here!"

The ancient serpent drew its golden bow and fired a series of shots at the white giant that was already heading towards the sea.

"Boom boom boom!"

As the blade pierced the white giant's flesh, exploding within it and causing the golden-blue star patterns above to flicker, the monster finally stopped, turned back to Samael, and let out a high-pitched and ambiguous roar.

"Now is the moment of judgment. Listen to the voice of the stars, and declare that your good deeds are less severe than your crimes. Justice will surely be served, and order will be restored here—the Star Court!"

A clear, ethereal chant came from Mount War God. The sky suddenly darkened, and starlight drawn from the vast universe descended like a thin curtain, enveloping the white giant.

Themis, holding the jewel-encrusted sword of justice, strode through the air. The star scales at the ends of the hilt, facing the white giant, hung heavily, as if echoing the wails and cries of countless spirits. The other side was raised high, its dense starlight radiating a chilling and deadly aura.

"Hearing the triumphant sounds, I will call for victory!"

At the same time, amidst a solemn and majestic declaration, Athena, riding her winged horse and wielding the spear of victory and the shield of sheepskin, charged down from the high walls of the Acropolis.

Three figures stood on three sides, advancing in unison with tacit understanding, each unleashing a powerful killing move, clearly aware of each other's strategic intentions.

Chapter 258: The assimilation of the voice of heaven! (1/2)

boom!

A three-pronged attack, with beams of red, black, gold, and silver light crisscrossing and crashing heavily onto the white giant.

The explosive light patterns, like starlight shining in the sky, caused the monster on the sea to stumble and fall, creating raging waves that swept towards the shore. The priests and magicians of the Acropolis of Athens frantically reinforced their magical barriers to keep the aftershocks of the battle at bay.

"Below the chest, the star core!"

Samael pointed his cross spear forward, offering a warning to Athena and Themis based on his combat experience.

As their power increased, the ether around the three deities surged and boiled violently, forming different brilliant colors under the influence of their respective powers. These colors coalesced into a hundred-foot-long beam of light, which then bombarded the white giant's star core.

“Laaaa!”

At the same time, ethereal sounds, like songs, poems, calls, and murmurs, came from the sea, carrying the ethereal tides and forming visible golden-blue starlight patterns.

The ripple-like radiance spread rapidly, instantly engulfing the white giant.

In some incredible resonance and tremor, the giant's pure white body was etched with golden-blue star patterns identical to those of Sephalus.

Immediately afterwards, the facial features, limbs, joints, and body outline gradually became clear and solid.

In the monster's hand, a seven-colored light sword materialized, and with a horizontal slash, it forcefully shattered the three-way attack.

Samael stared at the other Star Vanguard that looked remarkably similar to Sefalu and whose aura was no weaker than hers, and her expression changed drastically.

The sound of heaven is assimilated!

The abilities that Sephalus acquired after arriving in Greece and developing to this point can even be replicated to other Star Trek elites through audio resonance!

Damn it, how are you supposed to play this?!

"Buzz!"

Just as everyone was in a state of extreme shock, the second Star Vanguard gripped his sword with both hands and plunged the light blade into the sea. A series of colorful star rings emerged and converged around the monster.

At the same time, hundreds of golden-blue pillars of light rose from the near sea and shot straight into the sky.

As the seawater surged violently, one hundred-meter-tall monster after another emerged from it, wielding long, light-like spears, with bronze bone spikes with golden and blue star patterns spreading from its body, and tentacle-like wings of light on its back. They walked step by step toward Athens and the coastal city-states.

Behind them, large and small deep-sea warships, as well as countless Erkedna Armory weapons and black-bodied, red-striped humanoid combat weapons, all emerged from the pillars of light.

Damn it! They can even summon the Colossus!

The ancient serpent's heart sank to the bottom, and a sense of powerlessness and frustration gradually arose in its mind in the face of the current crisis.

The colossal warriors advanced like tanks, crushing or piercing the scattered islands along their path, leaving them in disarray.

When they were no more than a kilometer away, the star emblems on the Titans' bodies shone brightly, and they slowly raised their arms, the light spears in their palms tilting forward, their tips shining even brighter.

Seeing this, Samuel immediately understood that these things were gathering ether, thus forming a rapidly compressed magical beam that was about to bombard the ground.

However, before he could get away to block the Colossus's charged bombardment, a series of sonic booms came from ahead. The Star Vanguard, which had synchronized with Sephalus's experience and abilities through [Sound Assimilation], was wielding a seven-colored lightsaber and slashing towards him, Athena, and Themis.

"Enemy attack! Defend! Defend!"

Samael couldn't dodge in time and could only turn around and scream as a warning, the divine rhythm resonating.

In an instant, the Orphic temples and altars of many city-states, including Athens, Corinth, Thebes, Iorchus, Arcadia, and Calydon, burst forth with a scarlet glow and emitted urgent echoes. The ominous bells rang sharply and incessantly, causing the residents of the entire city to feel pain in their eardrums and be filled with fear. They all activated the city-state's wartime magical barriers.

Tsk tsk tsk!

In an instant, thousands of red and black magic beams shot out from the tip of the Colossus's light-shaped spear, traversing the sky like a meteor shower hurtling across the heavens.

At the very top of the Acropolis in Athens, thousands of magicians and priests raised their hands and chanted divine words, drawing in the ether.

The rock face shimmered with light, and countless magical arrays rose up in layers, forming twelve barriers that corresponded to the twelve zodiac signs of Mount War God under the guidance of the star chart and runes.

boom!

A thick, red-black magic beam, nearly half the diameter and tens of meters long, slammed down like a battering ram carrying immense force onto the semi-circular protective wall surrounding Athens.

Intense ripples spread outwards from the point where the magic beam landed, surging outwards from the light barrier. The rippling light that spread outwards was beautiful yet revealed a dangerous aura.

However, as the divine runes supporting the barrier flickered, the magical beams that struck the light barrier were gradually offset and neutralized.

However, Athens' barrier was not facing a single magical beam, but hundreds of them! The continuity and intensity of these attacks were terrifying.

Therefore, before the etheric waves that burst from this node could be quelled, ten or even a hundred beams of light arrived one after another, striking different parts of the barrier.

In an instant, colorful flames exploded one after another in various parts of the outer barrier, and the strong ripples formed by the shock waves intertwined and merged, causing uncontrollable shocks and distortions.

Click! Click! Click!

Like the sound of shattering glass, it was incessant. The light wall shattered like glass, breaking off into fragments that fell one by one, turning into specks of light dust that drifted into the air.

These fierce, hundred-odd magical beams pierced through three carefully prepared barriers of the Acropolis of Athens before finally dissipating.

Meanwhile, the divine runes and patterns engraved on the rock walls of the Acropolis in Athens, made of high-end materials such as crystal powder and the blood of gods and monsters, began to peel off and disappear in parts.

Seeing this, the defenders looked at the giant warriors coming from the sea with raging waves, their faces grim and their hearts sinking to the bottom.

If the information from the front lines is accurate, this thing called the [Spirit Liquid Cannon] can continuously gather magical power and fire at a high frequency.

However, the Acropolis of Athens has only twelve layers of protective barriers that it has carefully maintained. Even if these are temporarily set up, they are far from keeping up with the rate at which the enemy is being worn down.

At this moment, looking back, the many city-states along the way, such as Corinth, Thebes, Iolkos, Arcadia, and Calydon, which had limited preparations, had their magic barriers dimmed and their protective power dropped below the warning level after being hit by only a few beams of light.

The affected areas along the way suffered even more devastation.

The earth was ploughed into terrifying ravines, and molten soil flowed like lava. Mountain peaks collapsed and crumbled, vegetation was destroyed and set ablaze, and villages and towns with no shelter were reduced to scorched earth, with black smoke billowing everywhere, a scene of utter devastation.

If it weren't for the earlier construction of the coastal wall, which bought two hours for the various city-states to gather their towns and villages and urgently enter a state of war preparedness, the number of casualties in this single round would likely have been in the thousands.

One elite Star Warrior is enough to deal with a powerful force from a pantheon; two would be in a precarious situation.

The opportunity has been lost, and a quick victory is impossible. We must deal with these colossi first!

Samael, Athena, and Themis steadied themselves and, seeing the devastation of the city-states and villages behind them, had no choice but to grit their teeth, temporarily halt their attack on the wandering star soldier, and clear the area first.

Chapter 259 We're one short for mahjong, wanna play? (5k)

However, the Star Vanguard in front of them also anticipated their opponent's next move.

The instinct to plunder civilizations caused the monster to immediately take a step forward, charging wildly across the sea. Taking advantage of its size, it quickly weaved between Samael and his two companions near the shore, and then, with both hands gripping its sword, a seven-colored arc of light swept across its three targets.

For a moment, Athena, Themis, and Samael had no choice but to unleash their powers to withstand this massive attack.

boom!

However, the deliberately guided aftershocks of the battle, like exploding and disintegrating stars, rained down on the sea surface with burning flames. Countless humanoid combat weapons, hundreds of Echdna Armory creations, dozens of deep-sea warships, and a few Colossi were all reduced to dust and disintegrated in the radiance of the explosion.

The sky, spanning hundreds of miles, was dyed into a colorful expanse. Amidst the blinding light, the Star Vanguard trembled, staggered backward, and finally fell backward into the sea.

The golden and blue star patterns on the monster's body flickered and dimmed, its core wailed, and spiderweb-like cracks spread across its body. Fragments of the broken pieces disintegrated and fell into the sea.

However, in their haste to clash with this thing, Samael and his two companions did not gain much of an advantage.

They flew backward like cannonballs, crashing into the soil, raising dust and creating cone-shaped craters tens of meters deep.

Damn it! It's coming!

Deep within the crater, Athena noticed the rapidly rising ether particles in the air above the sea. She spat out a mouthful of blood that had seeped from her lips and immediately smashed her sheepskin shield into the ground. She frantically poured her divine power into it, solidifying the power of this divinely crafted weapon into a towering golden barrier that resembled a fortress.

Almost simultaneously, red and black cross-shaped light bands and blue and white starry veils appeared in different directions, clearly indicating that Themis and Samael had also made defensive preparations.

Tsk tsk tsk!

Before the three rising divine barriers could be sealed together, hundreds of giant soldiers had already gathered their ether, and their light-shaped spears shot out hundreds and thousands of red and black magic beams.

boom! boom! boom! boom!

Instantly, the crisscrossing red and black beams of light, like malicious graffiti painted on paper by a child with a paintbrush, exposed the ground under this long-range firepower. The ground was plowed open with furrows, and the lush areas such as forests, farmlands, and valleys were torn apart and unrecognizable.

Even city-states that built high walls and erected magical barriers were not spared and were in grave danger.

Arcadia.

The terrified old king knelt before the Temple of Artemis, offering chests of jewels, precious monster pelts, and rare minerals and plants from the palace to the goddess of the hunt, who was supposed to protect Arcadia, and begging for divine protection.

Boom...

The city walls shook violently, the magical barrier flickered, and the distant Arcadia mountains were ravaged and billowing with thick smoke.

A large number of priests and priests were diligently scattering and burning incense, and the fragrance that filled the air was so strong that it was pungent.

Even so, the exquisite statue carved from marble was already a lifeless object, unresponsive to anything else.

Meanwhile, Thebes, which revered Zeus and Hera, Delphi, which worshipped Apollo, the god of light, and Trozen, which was attached to Poseidon...

The city-states facing crisis all prayed to their respective guardian deities.

Boom boom boom!

As the fortress's magical barrier reached its limit and exhausted its magic, it shattered. Several exposed city-states along the line suffered wall collapses, with burning bricks flying everywhere and bursts of flames erupting from within.

The sounds of roaring engines, screams, and cries for help were incessant, and everywhere you looked, there was thick smoke billowing from the collapse of civilization.

Gazing at the boiling sea, the sky, and the dark mass of monsters rushing towards them from the wilderness, many trembling humans, seeking refuge, flocked into the temple, hoping to temporarily prolong their lives by relying on the protective spells surrounding the temple and the power residing on the statues, in hopes of a miracle.

O gods, have mercy!

However, as the thick beam of magic swept across the sky, the magnificent temple, which had stood for only a moment, collapsed and vanished like a popped soap bubble.

The priests and priests hidden within attempted to use their blessings to resist the catastrophe of the apocalypse, but the protective spell they formed together was dim and lifeless, as if it had been stripped of its favor and shattered in an instant, without even having time to utter a cry of lament.

The gods have abandoned us...

In the several city-states along the route engulfed in flames, a group of people struggling desperately looked at the temples that had vanished and collapsed in the fire, their eyes filled with despair.

cough cough...

At this moment, Samael, Athena, and Themis coughed up a wisp of blood one after another, and their divine cores were pierced by needles with the slightest movement.

Forced into a direct confrontation, they were already seriously injured by forcibly blasting that thing on the sea surface into standby mode. Now, suppressing their injuries and managing to intercept nearly 70% of the giant warrior's spirit liquid cannons, the three deities were further injured.

The fact that these henchmen are still moving proves that the situation is far from over.

The strategy of using superior forces to counter inferior ones and first completely eliminating this elite scout is undoubtedly doomed to fail.

Damn! Who would have thought that Sefalu also had the move of Assimilation of Voices and Replicating Battle Templates!

Samael's brow furrowed in anger, and Athena and Themis also looked somber.

But in reality, it is already quite remarkable that the Orphic pantheon of gods on Mount Ares could fight to this extent.

After all, the ancient serpent had already shattered Sefalu once before, expending a great deal of energy.

Three or four hours earlier, Athena, in league with Poseidon and Hera, launched a rebellion and suppressed Zeus, losing more than half of her own divine power in the process.

Even if Themis is at full strength, the three of them working together might be able to completely suppress and seal a nascent Star Vanguard.

But now, they are facing a Star Trek Vanguard who is in no way weaker than Sefaru.

Moreover, the rear wing city-states, which had been sent with most of their elite troops to support the front of the Peloponnese peninsula, would also have to face a massive number of miscellaneous troops created by the wandering star vanguard, and they would probably be unable to hold out.

As for these colossus soldiers, each one possessed god-like strength. Even with Samael and his companions giving their all, they were overwhelmed and unable to continue.
