Nobody knows how to be a villain better than me.

"Watch out, they've come ashore!"

At that moment, Athena's gaze fell upon the colossal warriors riding the waves, sweeping in like dark clouds, and the swarms of combat weapons resembling locusts. Her expression darkened, and she immediately pounded her shield, shouting a warning.

"While that thing is on standby, let's take care of as many of these big guys as we can!"

Samael wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, his eyes hardening. He then leaped into the air, his cross-shaped spear, swift as a meteor, piercing through the core of a Colossus's abdomen, carrying fragments of broken metal, and passing right through its chest.

Athena followed closely behind, her powerful shield bash violently flipping a colossus to the ground. The scepter of victory that followed transformed into a spear, sparks flying as it tore the fallen behemoth to pieces.

"The crime of murder shall be punished by beheading!"

Themis gripped the hilt of her sword upside down, and with a cold, stern voice, she spun the blade forward, causing the scales of the stars to clang and the air to twist and tear.

Click!

Three Colossi nearby had their necks snapped off, sparks flying, and their hideous heads rolled into the dust.

The three gods, standing at the pinnacle of mythology, stirred up a raging storm of ether along their path, causing countless severed limbs and metal fragments to fall in a flurry.

Even so, they were unable to completely stop the massive army that surged ashore, and could only allow a considerable number of monsters to pour into the inland, seeking out strongholds of civilized entities such as city-states and villages, and wreaking havoc.

In an instant, cities and states along the route were attacked one after another, and had to do their best to deal with the surging waves of monsters.

Boom boom boom!

The giant warriors that came ashore displayed terrifying destructive power. After unleashing another round of magical beams, they used their light-shaped spears to shoot and throw, or to swing and sweep, causing a series of violent explosions.

Athens, which was the first to be hit, had only nine light screens left, which were quickly reduced to three.

In order to break through the monster army's formation and eliminate these mobile turrets as quickly as possible, magicians and priests frantically threw out spells and suppression charms, clearing out large areas.

"Athenians! The most perilous moment has arrived. The closer courage is to you, the further death is from you!"

Use your shields to defend your city and save your people!

With your swords, win glory and proclaim victory!

Athena rode astride Pegasus, galloping across the battlefield, her spear striking her shield with a deafening roar.

Within the city, the people were in an uproar, and tens of thousands of soldiers, armed with swords, shields, and javelins, spontaneously organized themselves and charged onto the battlefield at Athena's call.

These soldiers prayed devoutly, their expressions feverish as they charged towards their goddess of victory.

Athena slammed her scepter of victory into the ground, and wherever the ripples spread, halos of light shone on the surrounding human soldiers. Her divine authority over war and victory was amplified to an unprecedented degree by the blessing of faith.

These soldiers even provided their own weapons and shields; the entire unit was hastily assembled, and each soldier radiated a golden aura of power.

Their physical abilities, strength, perception, and life force were all multiplied, making them seem like heroes of the Golden Age. Under Athena's guidance, they commanded with ease, quickly and accurately dividing and splitting the battlefield, and actually managed to suppress the monsters' offensive, successfully buying precious time for Samael and Themis to clear out the giant soldiers.

Samael and Themis dared not hesitate, and by squeezing out their own power, they destroyed nearly 70% of the Titans, finally turning the tide.

"Laaa!"

However, one wave has not settled, and one wave has risen again.

While the battlefield was still locked in a stalemate, a high-pitched and ethereal chant echoed over the stormy sea.

As the ripples of gold and blue spread, the fragments of the Star Vanguard, which had been gradually disintegrating, rose from the sea surface and reassembled, just like before.

At the same time, the star patterns representing the lifeblood of the Star Vanguard were also lit up and activated one after another, as if the rhythm of a heart was coming from the star core in its abdomen, growing stronger and stronger.

Clearly, its resurgence is only a matter of time.

Just as Samael and his men were caught in a dilemma and engaged in a fierce battle, the sacred flame burst forth with a dazzling light from Mount Olympus in the north.

Rumble!

A thunderclap streaked across the sky, and a branch-shaped arc of blue and white light weaved through the dense dark clouds. On the majestic golden chariot, the wise god-king, clad in bronze armor and wielding a thunder scepter and divine shield, coldly surveyed the scene.

Behind Zeus stood the twelve Olympian gods, including Poseidon, Ares, the Titan of Memory, Mnemosyne, and Leto, the goddess of nurturing, as well as the nine Muses and the three Graces, and hundreds of nymphs and attendants, all standing solemnly in formation, exuding an aura of dread.

As Zeus swung his thunder scepter forward, his golden chariot raced through the air like a thunderbolt, and thousands of Olympian gods charged forward with murderous intent.

The direction we're heading is towards Athens!

As the distance closed, Samael's wide, star-shaped pupils contracted sharply, his heart clenched, and a bitter taste filled his tightly pursed lips.

Ahead lies a wolf, the situation unresolved; behind lies a tiger, poised to devour its prey.

it's over...

Amidst the thunderous explosions, the Olympian gods, who had come charging with great momentum, suddenly displayed silver, lightning-shaped divine marks on their foreheads!

In such a short time, Zeus not only quelled the rebellion, but also somehow managed to completely control the Olympian gods.

The wise god-king, who descended upon the skies above Athens, raised his thunder scepter high. Countless arcs of lightning flashed and darted through the dark clouds, converging on the divinely crafted weapon. Its terrifying power distorted and shattered the surrounding space.

I am... the lightning that tears stars apart!

In an instant, Zeus suddenly opened his eyes, and with immense force, he hurled his thunder scepter, splitting the sky into shattered mirrors.

At the same time, with the sounding of the attack horn, the Olympian gods surged towards the front lines of Athens like a tidal wave.

Samael's serpentine vertical pupils contracted sharply, and the lightning that ripped through the sky expanded wildly within his field of vision.

In an instant, a sharp explosion rang out, breaking everything in its path into elementary particles.

“Aa…aa…”

The ethereal chant transformed into intermittent, dry syllables from the broken bellows. The towering figure standing on the sea looked down at the gaping hole in its chest, and amidst the chaotic and exploding arcs of blue and white light, it swayed and fell into the water, its newly formed body disintegrating once more.

Meanwhile, the Olympian gods, swooping down from the sky, crossed the ground's defenses above humanity and rushed towards the coast, where they clashed with the giants and other monsters.

"Hmph, you've only managed three hours of holding out, and you're already in such a sorry state. You blasphemous creations of the gods have truly disappointed me!"

Zeus stood high atop his golden chariot, looking down at Samael and the other rebellious gods of war with a mocking sneer.

"Then why didn't you take advantage of that moment and destroy us and all these things together?"

Samael raised his hand to wipe the blood from the side of his cheek, glanced at the disintegrated and silent Star Vanguard behind him, his eyes flashing, and asked with a furrowed brow.

Zeus glanced indifferently at the ants on the ground, those called humans who were still struggling desperately, and spoke coldly.

"What do you consider a god?"

The ancient snake paused for a moment, then frowned and fell silent. His long-standing human mindset prevented him from arriving at a definite answer immediately.

"More greedy than humans! More slothful than humans! More easily angered than humans! More lustful than humans! More arrogant than humans!"

Zeus uttered startling words, his expression arrogant.

"We were born powerful! Our authority is divinely granted! We founded and perfected Greece, so we naturally have the right to ravage it and dominate the world!"

Humans are nothing but inferior creations modeled after the gods, and I am confident that you are not qualified to replace the gods.

From beginning to end, Olympus's only enemy was the threat from the stars; you are not even qualified!

Therefore, if it does no harm to the situation, I am willing to show some mercy to the pets on the pasture.

But this is the hunting grounds of the gods, our territory, and not a place for outsiders like hyenas to roam freely!

Samael gazed at the King of Gods, and a faint smile unconsciously curved his lips.

So that's it! Divinity is humanity! The so-called gods are simply humans in another sense, with even stronger desires than we are!

Perhaps I was wrong from the start; God and man do not necessarily have to be completely opposed.

The ancient serpent drew its cross spear, flapped its wings and soared into the sky, riding alongside Zeus's chariot. It smiled nonchalantly and shook its head in a murmur.

"To be honest, I'm starting to like you guys a little..."

"No need, I still despise you all!"

Zeus responded coldly, making no attempt to conceal his arrogance and disdain.

"It doesn't matter. We can settle our scores later. Let's deal with the immediate problem first."

Samael watched the battlefield as the monsters were gradually wiped out after the gods joined in, and chuckled with pleasure.

In an ecosystem, whether it's the lions and tigers that occupy most of the resources, or the cows, sheep, and rabbits that can live well by eating grass, they all support each other in a certain sense.

But the Star Vanguard, these insatiable hyenas, are a malignant tumor that will destroy the entire ecosystem.

As long as he and Zeus aren't fools, they could join forces, drive out the hyenas first, and then determine the strengths and weaknesses within the ecosystem.

Moreover, based on his future experience, when it comes to God, humanity will definitely have the last laugh.

At this moment, Zeus, driving his golden chariot, headed towards the near sea where the star warriors had collapsed, beckoning his thunder scepter with a flick of his finger, his eyes gleaming.

"The calamity of the stars, the arrival of the white giants, the end of Olympus..."

"I have been preparing for this for so long based on the revelation of the voice of heaven, but now it seems that they are nothing special..."

Just as the wise god-king frowned and murmured, Sephalu raised the sword of the god of war in his hand, and a seven-colored beam of light smashed down on the coast. Rivers along the way were cut off, rocks collapsed, and everything was in ruins.

boom!

The coastal wall, which had held for three hours, finally collapsed and fell, and countless giant soldiers and weapons swarmed over it.

Oh no! Anna and the others are in danger!

Samael's heart skipped a beat, and his face changed drastically.

However, the ethereal and distant resonance then reverberated and spread once again from the stormy seas.

"Laaaaa!"

In an instant, the previously shattered Star Vanguard visibly reassembled and reformed, its power surging ever higher.

Giant warriors emerged from the ocean tides, set foot on land once more, and continued their mission of reaping civilizations.

Damn it, it's happening again!

Whether it was the humans suffering on the battlefield or the gods who had witnessed the horrors of these things, they all cursed inwardly.

Whoosh!

At the same time, a halo of light, hundreds of meters in diameter, burst open, and a meteorite, shaped like a teardrop and enveloped in blazing flames, streaked across the sky and fell toward the stormy sea, splashing up towering waves.

The third Star Guardian!

Samael stared at the familiar scene, his teeth grinding, veins bulging on his forehead, and a helpless sigh rising in his heart.

Chapter 260 Teammate Sacrificed to Heaven, Boundless Magic Power (1/2)

In fact, Sefaru is designated "Wilpa 02". The other two Star Trek Vanguards are naturally "Wilpa 01" and "Wilpa 03", who are the "elder brother" and "younger sister" of the one in the Stormy Sea.

As far as Samael knew, there were only three planetary vanguards that the predatory planet Wilpa had successfully deployed into the solar system.

But these three elite space soldiers are targeting the entire Age of Gods on Earth!

Later generations concluded that traces of these astronauts' activities can be found in Mesopotamia, Greece, India, the Celts, and other places.

The Greek and Indian pantheons are precisely the places that were visited by a wandering star vanguard.

Zeus and the Greek gods' only rival was the second machine, Sephalus.

According to the records of this world's mythology and history, Zeus, facing the growing Star Warriors, gathered the power of the twelve Olympian gods and achieved divine unification in order to have the opportunity to defeat Sephalus and continue the civilization of the gods.

Of course, a Star Guardian who hasn't undergone advanced training isn't necessarily capable of dominating everything.

For example, in a distorted future account, the one that ended up in India seems to have been swallowed by Arjuna, the protagonist of the Indian epic poem Mahabharata, before it could fully mature, due to bad luck. This swallowed Arjuna, forming the basis for Arjuna's unified divinity and placing him at the pinnacle of the Indian pantheon.

Ultimately, the disaster unleashed by the asteroid vanguard was thwarted by the resistance forces gathered on Earth.

So, your ambition is to conquer the entire Earth, the Age of Gods? Have some ambition!

Damn, why are they all heading to Greece?

Didn't you have a reservation to visit India? Look how wonderful it is there! Drink this bowl of Ganges water, and you'll be an Indian forever!

Perhaps Karna and Arjuna are waiting for you to visit them. And what about those Hindu gods like Brahma, Shiva, and Vishnu? They're all incredibly popular. Why don't you go and cause them some trouble?

And then there's Mesopotamia. Marduk, that bastard, is the King of Kings who has achieved divine unification. The obstacles are even greater. If you want to conquer the earth, why don't you deal with the troublesome ones first? Why come to this wretched place of Greece to gang up on a bunch of old, weak, and disabled people?

And three at once! Are you crazy?!

I thank you all so much for thinking so highly of us.

With his thoughts in disarray, Samael flapped his wings and flew towards the coastal wall, looking down at the floating starship that had opened in the stormy sea. The third Star Vanguard, which was being conceived from it, was gradually solidifying. He muttered to himself in a somewhat neurotic way.

However, no matter how much complaint and indignation there is, the three planetary vanguards that were originally scheduled to land in at least three regions of the Age of Gods, expand, and eventually completely plunder Earth's civilization have now all concentrated in Greece, which has become an established fact.

Meanwhile, Medusa and her companions, caught in a pincer attack by two star soldiers and locked on by a halo, were in grave danger and had no time to spare.

Boom boom boom!
