Nobody knows how to be a villain better than me.

The conflict between Mount Ares and Mount Olympus did not escalate to a point of mutual destruction, which would have given them the leverage to fight against the giants.

However, the two God-Kings' scattered thoughts were interrupted by the aggressive onslaught of Unit 1 and Unit 3, forcing them to focus entirely on dealing with the situation and leaving no time for anything else.

Despite being blocked by the Colossus and the Aberrant, Sefalu steadied himself in the blink of an eye, swung the War God Sword in reverse, and unleashed a powerful, thunderous blast towards the source of the sound that had severely injured him.

The stormy sea along the path was the first to be hit, and the human alliance caught in the middle, as well as the Nemesis teetering in mid-air, ultimately had no way to avoid it.

What was destined to happen, couldn't be avoided after all...?

I just want to eat Samael's homemade butter cake again, and I want to see everyone in Mesopotamia again.

The slender figure under the dappled beams of light gently bit her cherry lips, glanced back at a certain spot with a hint of melancholy, and sighed softly.

Damn it! That damn lucky goddess, she deserves to be fucked!

Jason, on the deck of the Argo, turned his head to look at the etheric torrent that roared toward him, seemingly about to wash away all life. At the same time, he caught a glimpse of the Eye of the Tide hundreds of meters away out of the corner of his eye. His eyes widened in anger, and he forced out a friendly yet bold greeting through his teeth.

Just as everyone on the stormy sea was at their wits' end, the starlight in the sky tore apart, forming a dark vortex. A streak of golden-blue light rushed down wildly, and a clear, high-pitched cry echoed above the sky and the sea of ​​clouds.

"Ma'anna, the gates open, the concept of Venus converges, from the great heavens to the great earth! — Shatter, mountains, the star's embers!"

"Meslamthea, here we come! Heaven has its desolate seas, earth its prisons, and my heel is the wrath of the underworld!—Appear, Spirit Peak, embracing the saddle of the underworld!"

In an instant, the golden and red light that blended together swept forward like an angry dragon, colliding fiercely with the colorful beam of light shooting out from the God of War's sword.

As the space at the junction point was compressed and distorted to its extreme, the surging etheric torrent exploded and swept in all directions.

The vengeful goddess, at her last gasp, was thrown about like a kite with a broken string, swaying and falling towards the sea under this impact.

Just then, the golden-blue streak of light, braving the strong wind, plummeted straight down, descending at an even faster speed.

Just as Medusa was about to fall into the deep sea, two slender, white arms pulled the vengeful goddess into a warm embrace.

"Long time no see, you can open your eyes now, little Anna..."

With a crisp snap of her fingers, Nemesis subconsciously opened her eyes slowly, and her purple eyes immediately reflected two familiar faces: one with smiling blonde hair, the other with long black hair, and both wearing seven-faced gemstone crowns.

Before her stood the twin goddesses of Mesopotamia.

Ishtar, the goddess of the heavens!

Ereshkigal, the goddess of the earth!

Chapter 285 The Spiral of Fate (3k)

"You...you weren't in Mesopotamia, how could you be..."

Medusa's pretty face lit up with uncontrollable joy, her expression filled with disbelief.

"We're not the only ones who've come..."

Standing atop the Sky Bow Maana, Ishtar and Ereshkigal smiled and pointed to the stormy sea where a vast expanse of mist rose and billowed, their expressions meaningful.

Oh no! The Argo!

Knowing the Argonauts' true purpose, the goddess of vengeance suddenly awoke from her daze and hurriedly swung her arm down, unleashing divine power that pierced the fog obscuring her vision.

As the haze dissipated, a crisp metallic clang echoed in all directions.

Looking around, silvery-white chains, glistening with water droplets and refracting iridescent colors in the sunlight, hung suspended in mid-air from the golden vortexes that appeared around the stormy sea, forming a tight barrier that blocked all the giants and aberrations that tried to disturb the area.

At the same time, the Uruk Hero King, half-naked, clad in magnificent golden armor, with scarlet divine patterns appearing on his skin, stood before the barrier formed by silver chains. The red and black pillar of the Ea sword in his hand gradually stopped rotating as his master's fingers and palms lowered.

Clearly, it was these two outsiders who stood in front of the stormy seas who, together, helped the surviving Argonauts to neutralize the aftershocks of the God of War's sword.

Heaven's Lock, Enkidu!

Gilgamesh, the Wedge of Heaven!

Everyone's here!

The scene before her was like a dream; Medusa could hardly believe it.

"Hmph! What's so surprising about that! To get here, we just need to set off ahead of time and break through the entire Chaos Sea outside the world barrier! If that Samael can do it alone, why can't I?"

Gilgamesh's gaze fell upon Medusa's shocked expression. He crossed his arms, raised his chin, and hummed softly, but the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up, as if he were thoroughly enjoying the feeling.

"Come on! With your lousy navigation skills, you couldn't even find the right way, leaving us adrift on the Chaotic Sea for a whole year!"

"Without the guidance and protection of the Mother Goddess, we would have perished several times! This goddess will never again ride on your shabby ship!"

Ishtar, who was used to sabotaging her old rivals, lowered her Heavenly Bow Maana slightly and sneered at the self-aggrandizing King of Heroes.

"Why didn't you say that you would be in charge for the rest of the time? We've already wasted another year!"

Gilgamesh rolled his eyes and retorted sharply with a sneer, leaving Ishtar speechless with anger.

Both Ereshkigal and Enkidu raised their hands to their foreheads in unison, their lips twitching slightly, their expressions quite subtle, clearly reflecting on that journey.

In fact, the plan to seek help from outside the region had already begun when Samael awoke on Aiyu Island and sent a message to the people of Mesopotamia.

After all, their position had already been exposed, and the next battle would be a life-or-death struggle with Zeus.

Even a lion needs to exert its full strength to hunt a rabbit. Since you are the weaker party, you must make full use of all your resources and leverage.

Therefore, his trump card was the entire power of Mesopotamia, including the mother goddess Tiamat, Ereshkigal, Ishtar, and Enkidu.

At that time, another important purpose of the mother goddess Tiamat's journey to the border of the Sea of ​​Oceanus was to guide Ishtar and the others to safely break through the Sea of ​​Chaos and successfully reunite with her.

However, the difficulty of navigating the Sea of ​​Chaos was several levels higher than the ancient serpent had anticipated.

Therefore, it is only now that this extraordinary force, which took nearly two years to cross the Chaos Sea, has finally arrived at its destination, becoming the opportunity to turn the tide!

"Laaa!"

At this moment, Saifalu, who had suffered repeated setbacks, saw that his formidable enemy, who was coming with the tide of chaos, was about to arrive. His aura tightened, and he became even more ruthless.

Instantly, the star rings above the three Star Vanguard soldiers spun wildly, projecting onto the nearby sea surface. Thousands of Colossi, Aberrants, and resurrected Deep Sea Fleets emerged in dense numbers, filling the void left by the previous fierce battle.

Immediately, the sword in Saifalu's hand surged with power, ready to be unleashed, and his cold, sinister gaze swept downwards.

Since we cannot defeat our formidable enemy in one blow, let's eliminate the distractions near the Stormy Sea before the great battle begins.

Meanwhile, as the Greek remnants moved toward the Eye of the Tide, one after another, colossi, aberrations, and deep-sea warships surfaced along the way, making their progress extremely difficult.

Boom boom boom!

At that very moment, beams of scarlet light descended from the sky, carving out furrows in the waters leading to the Eye of the Tide, blasting through the densely packed army of giants and clearing a path for the remnants of the Greek army.

As the rolling dark clouds that spread from behind tore apart, a magnificent and bustling aerial fortress emerged from the shadows with overwhelming force.

The 11 black panels, each over 20 meters long, hovering around the mobile fortress, converged beams of light and swept outwards, slicing through deep-sea warships as easily as cutting through tofu.

Meanwhile, the gatekeepers' seals and cannons around the courtyard automatically loaded, focused, and released, launching Babylonian treasures as disposable projectiles without restraint. They blasted through the tough shells of the giants and aberrations, revealing their luxurious yet ferocious appearance!

Once the tiered decks were opened, they were revealed to be filled with a dense array of soldiers, including magicians, priestesses, priests, Garula spirits, blood warriors, and puppets.

On the highest platform, the holy prostitute Shamhat, the high priestess Siduri, and the queen in a black dress with pointed ears stood side by side, methodically issuing attack orders to this mobile fortress and helping to clear obstacles along the way.

Could this be the ship they were on?

Medusa stared in astonishment as she looked at the mobile fortress that broke through the black mist and brutally cleared a path with raging firepower.

Tsk tsk tsk!

Crimson Star Eyes!

Blue Star Eyes!

Dark Star Eyes!

A series of cross-shaped beams of light shot swiftly across the sea, accompanied by sharp, piercing sounds as they bombarded Sefaru's body. This caused the star warrior facing the Mother of Origins to repeatedly shatter and reform, forcing him to retreat.

As Tiamat, the goddess of saltwater, approached the battlefield and wielded her power, summoning the tides of chaos to gradually reverse the colossalization and self-distortion of life in the Sea of ​​Oceanus.

The space available for the Colossi and Aberrations to maneuver is being gradually compressed.

"Laaa!"

However, seeing the situation reverse and their own forces retreating step by step, the three Star Vanguard soldiers simultaneously uttered a high-pitched chant, raised the God of War's sword with both hands, and a colorful pillar of light shot into the sky, merging together through the rotation of the star ring.

The original Unit 1 and Unit 3 were visibly fading and becoming transparent, with specks of light particles being decomposed and converged towards Unit 2, Seiferu, via the light wheel.

Three golden-blue star core vortexes gradually took shape on both sides of the palm and on the chest. The monster's aura rose steadily, and its heart-palpitating aura surged and boiled. Under the spread of light patterns, the power of Tiamat's Sea of ​​Life could not advance an inch. Even the sea area assimilated by the Goddess of Origin began to fade in color.

Damn it, it's fused?

The Trinity, Phase Five!

Everyone present, gods, heroes, and humans alike, had their pupils constrict sharply. Samael couldn't help but curse inwardly.

At this moment, colossal warriors and aberrations reappeared, their star patterns becoming even more intricate and complex. Many of them even rose to the level of main gods. The exhausted fighters were caught in a fierce battle.

The sea surged with raging waves, and twisted, expanding phantoms gradually coalesced and emerged from the abyss, ruthlessly and resolutely sweeping away the civilizations that had sustained this world. And an even greater terror was about to descend!

At this moment, gods and monsters fell from the sky, their mangled corpses falling in a flurry; only a dozen or so Greek warships remained, resolutely blocking the gaps on both flanks and launching a suicide attack on the aberrant beings and giants; the mobile fortress hovering in the sky withstood thousands of wide-area annihilation weapons, clearing a path for the sea route...

Every moment, people die, and every moment, someone else steps up to take their place.

The war, which concerns the survival of the world, continues.

At the same time, the golden chariot came to an abrupt stop over the stormy sea. Zeus casually cleaved open a giant's spear of light, and amidst the violent blast wave, took the reins from Heracles's hand, his eyes filled with admiration.

“Well done, Hercules…”

"Call me Alcides..."

"As you please, but no matter what, you cannot change the fact that my blood flows in your veins! Go, do what you must do... not for the glory of the gods, but for your own future!"

The God of Wisdom raised his hand and placed it on the shoulder of the God of Strength, his deep and distant gaze meeting his silently before he spoke solemnly.

"The fate of mankind, and the fate of the gods, are in your hands!"

Hercules, having turned around, paused briefly, then nodded and leaped, landing on the deck just as the Argo was nearing the Eye of the Tide and successfully boarding the ship.

On the violently rocking Argo, Jason lunged at the helm, veins bulging in his arms, forcefully halting the ship's retreat. He looked up at the unobstructed eye of the tidal bore a hundred meters away and roared hysterically.

Listen, so far:

The gods have paved the way for us!

Humanity is fighting for us!

The blood of God is our offering!

Countless unseen corpses paved the way for us!

Countless sacrifices were made, all to help us break through this desolate sea and seize that one in ten thousand chance!

Those who have boarded this ship, answer me, are you afraid?!

One by one, the heroes who were forbidden to act and were told to conserve their strength and wait for their opportunity pounded their fists into their chests, their hearts filled with sorrow and rage, and they roared with ferocious expressions.

"Glory belongs to the Argo Expeditionary Force!"

"Alright! All hands on deck! Target: Eye of the Tide! Charge! Charge! Charge!"

Like an arrow released from a bow, the Argo hurtled towards the deep whirlpool, and with violent turbulence and tremors, the ship plunged into the abyss.

At this point, the human fleet had suffered a loss of 90%...

The gods' camp has suffered a 70% defeat...

The Argonauts are all alive and well!

Breakthrough at the End of the Sea!

Chapter 286 Mid-Gate Sniping Confrontation! (1/2)

Click!

In the stormy sea, as the colorful light particles converged, the giant seven-colored cocoon standing atop Oceanus suddenly split open, and the thousands of light bands that peeled off the surface of the cocoon attached themselves to its back, forming rainbow-like wings.

With just a gentle flap of its wings, the ethereal torrents it carried swept violently in all directions, forming a visible, rolling tide of magic. The floating gods, nymphs, and monsters were sent flying backward by the vast shockwave, barely managing to regain their footing.

The white colossus, its wings slowly fluttering as it emerged from the sea and took to the air, emitted a dazzling and mesmerizing aura from three slowly rotating nebula vortexes on the back of its hands and abdomen. Its entire body exuded a dangerous yet beautiful quality, like a demon god gracefully descending to earth!

Phase 5!

The overwhelming feeling of suffocation made Samael's face darken, and his heart sank to the bottom.

"Laaa!"

At the same time, having completed his advancement, Sephalu chanted a high-pitched hymn, the star patterns on his body flashing in response to the syllables. The sky suddenly darkened, and countless alien stars were lit up one after another, with the five star rings rotating in an intertwined pattern.
