I'm tied to Athena.

Based on this traitorous character, Athena also planned to learn from Chaldea's approach and turn the goddess against her in advance.

It is impossible for the Goddess of Warcraft to rebel, and Ellie is on their side, so the only goddess who can be rebelled is Quetzalcoatl.

Athena's eyes sparkled with a light of wisdom. "The apparent purpose of the Three Goddesses Alliance is to destroy humanity, but both Elly and Quetzalcoatl joined to protect humanity."

"While this method did protect humans and large tracts of land, it also prevented Quetzalcoatl, a powerful god, from attacking the Goddess of Warcraft."

"If we can persuade her to join our side right from the start, the final battle with the Goddess of Warcraft will be much easier. At least we can save more energy to fight the Goddess of Creation Tiamat."

Athena's simple plan left Li Yun speechless, "So... I don't actually need combat power, right?"

"If you think so, then I won't refute it." The words of the Goddess of Wisdom made Li Yun's mouth twitch wildly. Although it was the truth, why did it sound so uncomfortable?

"That's true, but can we really say Quetzalcoatl?" Ai Lei expressed pessimism.

Quetzalcoatl is one of the top gods in the Central American Aztec mythology. In terms of status, it should be no lower than Athena in the God Slayer mythology. She is the goddess who reigns over the pinnacle of goodness and the only trump card in Chapter 7 that can fight against King Kong.

When she put all her strength into it, she even burned Tima's black mud sea.

In so many battles, from fighting the Goddess of Warcraft to fighting the God Tiamat, she was the only goddess in the alliance of three goddesses who fought desperately and survived to the end.

Is there really a way they can convince that goddess?

Or it is not impossible that a fight would break out while they were talking...There is also a level 100 leopard man with five treasures on the other side. Even if Athena can contend with Quetzal after releasing her divine power and achieving the Trinity posture, Li Yun will not be able to fight against the leopard man after losing most of his strength.

Hmm... maybe that's a bit of an overestimation of him. Without the power of the Gorgon Stone, he simply can't compete with the Leopard Man.

"So we need the help of another god." When Athena said this, her expression was a little strange and her words were a little hesitant.

She looked deeply at Li Yun, then at Ai Lei, and finally said reluctantly: "Ai Lei and Ishtar are of one mind, right?"

"That's right, but she doesn't seem to know that I came with her."

In Mesopotamian mythology, Ishtar and Ereshkigal are the same being, goddesses who emerged from the splitting of the divinity of the same main god.

Although it is not clear what happened exactly, at least in this world, Ishtar and Ereshkigal share the same body. The daytime belongs to Ishtar, and the nighttime belongs to Ereshkigal. If Ereshkigal wants to go out, she can only wait until Ishtar falls asleep at night.

However, this mechanism seems to be ineffective if placed in the underworld.

When Ishtar comes to the underworld, Elle and Ishtar can appear at the same time and join the battle.

"So...Ishtar is also an important fighting force." Li Yun understood what Athena said. She wanted to win over Ishtar as well.

only.....

Seeing Athena's somewhat reluctant expression, Li Yun thought it was better to forget it. Moreover, although Ishtar had become much gentler after possessing a certain young lady who failed to keep her company, no matter how gentle she was, she didn't get the title of Venus Devil for nothing.

Li Yun still thinks it would be better to give the task of conquering Ishtar to Xiao Qiezi and Gudako.

"So, you plan to watch them kidnap Ellie?" If Ishtar, who is one and the same with her, is conquered by Chaldea, no one can predict what will happen next.

At least until they could ensure that Ishtar could be separated from Elei, they had to tie Ishtar to their side.

"..."

"Aile and Ishtar are of one mind, so it is necessary to win Ishtar over. Moreover, if Ishtar is won over, we will have the means to fight against Quetzal and the Leopard Man."

"....." Although I am not counted in the combat power, I will still be sad when you speak so directly.

Li Yun, whose self-esteem was slightly hurt, rubbed his head and said, "Okay, then what should I do?"

"How would I know? It's you who wants to win her over, not me." Athena snorted softly, and then asked Ai Lei, "Is Ishtar still in Uruk?"

"No, she and Gilgamesh were at loggerheads. When I left her body, she had already fallen out with Uruk and returned to the temple on Mount Ebifu."

Ai Lei answered subconsciously, but after she realized what was happening, she immediately started yelling, "Why should we try to win her over? We can still win even without her. Just let her stay on Mount Aibifu until she gets moldy and smelly.

Chapter 163: Abducting Anna

Ishtar and Elei are sisters who care about each other but are reluctant to reveal their true feelings.

In the original myth, Ishtar went down to the underworld to get her husband back, but in the lunar myth, Ishtar went down to the underworld to make Elle give up her responsibilities in the underworld and do what she really wanted to do.

Although Ishtar was deprived of the seven artifacts and powers by Ellie in the end, she had no choice but to leave one of her powers to Ellie before leaving the underworld.

But this also shows that Ishtar loves her sister.

Although Ai Lei seemed to be disdainful of her younger sister, she never regretted inheriting the position of Lord of the Underworld as the older sister.

She might complain, grumble, and cry about why her fate was different, but she would not have any regrets or any thought of giving up the position to Ishtar.

"I will win over Ishtar." Li Yun accepted the task, "Then I will go to Mount Ebifu now."

"Hey, listen to me!"

Ignoring the underworld goddess who spoke in word but acted righteously, Li Yun set out on the road to the ground.

When coming out of the underworld, Li Yun also saw the underworld characteristic of this world - the Garula spirit.

No matter which underworld of mythology, there will definitely be ghosts. The ghosts of the underworld in Mesopotamian mythology are placed in the gun prison carefully prepared by Ailei for them. The ghosts who are not imprisoned in the gun prison are Ailei's subordinates.

These ghosts in the form of skeletons had no feelings towards Li Yun, a living person. This was completely different from the situation when Gudako fell into the underworld and was surrounded by a bunch of Garula spirits.

What caused this difference was the Gorgon Stone, which represented the power of earth and darkness. It allowed Li Yun to deceive the underworld system of this mythology, making it mistakenly believe that Li Yun was also a part of the underworld.

After passing through seven narrow gates, Li Yun left the deep and cold underworld and came to the city of Kuta, which had not yet experienced the baptism of Ailei's death.

Ailei is the patron saint of Kuta City, so the underworld is right below Kuta City. Although it is a bit troublesome to climb a distance of ten thousand meters, fortunately Li Yun has good physical strength.

Under the blazing sun, the people of Kuta were living peacefully, unaware that they were about to be attacked by monsters.

Li Yun emerged from the shadow of the house and remembered something very important after seeing the bustling street.

It was only after Ailei joined the Alliance of Three Goddesses that the monsters became afraid of this city and dared not approach it. Now that Ailei has decided not to join the Alliance of Three Goddesses, Kuta City has become one of the targets of the monsters' attack... Protecting the people of Kuta City has also become something they must consider.

"Forget it, let's think of a solution next time." Thinking back to the map in his mind, the north wall of Uruk blocked an entire mountain range, and Kuta City was fortunately within the protection range of the north wall, which meant that the pressure from the monsters faced by Kuta City would not be too great.

Since there is the protection of the North Wall, Li Yun does not have to worry about monster attacks for the time being.

The location of Kuta City is very good. After passing the reed fields in the west, you will reach Uruk, and a day's walk to the east will take you to Mount Aibifu.

Li Yun was the only one on this trip. Ai Lei said she wanted to prepare a system to deal with Tima, and Athena would help her deal with it.

"The next target is...Reed Plain." Li Yun smiled. He had originally planned to go directly to find Ishtar, but the moment he reached the ground, he felt the presence of two people with a similar aura to his.

The Warcraft Goddess Gorgon, and the Gorgon's restraining force - Anna!

Just as he had guessed at the beginning, Gorgon was nurturing his children in the Blood Temple outside the north wall. However, Li Yun was somewhat surprised that Anna, who was the restraining force of Gorgon, appeared in the reed plain west of Kuta City for some reason.

Thinking of Anna's lovely appearance, Li Yun made a prompt decision to bring Anna over as well.

Both parties have the same goal and are both members of the Gorgon, so it should be easy to abduct... bah, rather, win them over.

Merlin, that liar, was able to bring Anna back, so he didn't believe that he couldn't take Anna away even though he had the Gorgon Stone and the added favorability.

But speaking of this matter, Li Yun also noticed a problem.

Anna knew her mission, but she couldn't sense where Gorgon was, so she was wandering outside. Gorgon didn't know that he had left such a restraining force before being summoned, so he didn't send anyone to look for him.

But now that he has appeared, will this balance be broken? He can feel the presence of Gorgon and Anna, so can it be said that Gorgon and Anna can also feel his presence?

If this is true, then they will probably face the Goddess of Warcraft in advance.

With this thought in mind, Li Yun headed west and soon left Kuta city.

Reed Plains is not far from Kuta City, and it takes about half a day to get there. Li Yun also encountered several monsters along the way. Although the monster army has not yet attacked, it is the Age of Gods after all, and it is normal for monsters to appear.

However, the strength of these monsters is not very good, roughly equivalent to LV2 or LV3 monsters in the dungeon.

After simply dealing with some monsters blocking the way, Li Yun headed towards where Anna was... Half a day allowed Li Yun to confirm one thing: Anna could indeed feel him.

From the moment he started moving towards Anna's position, Anna had been standing still without moving, but when he stepped into the reed field, Anna started to move.

"This is probably the location." Li Yun looked at the grass with small footprints and raised his head to look around.

Then the next second, a cold light touched his throat, and a cute girl in a black robe appeared behind him silently, "Who are you?"

Slowly raising his hands in a gesture of surrender, "I am your partner."

"Partner?" Anna's voice dropped. "I don't have a partner!"

"You can feel it, I am the same as you."

"....." Anna was speechless. Only after getting closer did she clearly feel that Li Yun exuded an aura that was almost exactly the same as hers. Although they were of different genders, the origin of his soul was the same as hers.

No, if we talk about the origin, Li Yun’s origin is even richer than hers, just like... the Gorgon.

"what is your purpose?"

"Same as you." Li Yun slowly turned around, "I came here specifically to find you, in order to defeat the Warcraft Goddess."

The boy who originally had a gentle smile showed a smile like a goldfish man (Cantonese): "Would you like to come with me?

Chapter 164: Strategy in Progress

Although Li Yun's smile was a little disgusting, what he said was true.

As Medusa Lily, Anna can easily see if Li Yun is lying.

So after thinking for a moment, Anna agreed to Li Yun's proposal and acted with him to kill the Gorgon.

"So, you are planning to go to Mount Ebifu to communicate with Ishtar now?" On the way, little Anna lowered her head and asked softly.

"Well, fighting against the Goddess of Warcraft requires a lot of combat power. It's definitely not enough with just the two of us. For this, we need the power of other goddesses... It's almost time, let's rest here for a night."

It took half a day to get from Kuta to Reed Plains, and Li Yun set out at noon, which meant that the sun had already set and dusk had occupied most of the sky. He looked at the sky and decided to take a nap on the side of the road.

Li Yun quickly built the tent. As he made a fire, he said, "I'll keep watch tonight. You can have a good rest."

"Oh, by the way, let's have a simple barbecue tonight."

"Your shadow..." Anna looked at Li Yun who took out various things from her shadow, and subconsciously reached out to touch her own shadow, but she didn't touch anything except weeds...

"My ability is quite special, so my shadow can be seen as my backpack." Li Yun explained simply, without telling Anna that this was an ability evolved from the power of darkness.

"Ability...Are you also the inhibitory power she split out?" Anna sat opposite Li Yun, her black cloak completely covering her little face, like a ghost.

"How should I put it? I'm like her half, an ordinary person who was lucky enough to get her power." Looking at the bonfire in front of him, Li Yun explained vaguely. Then, he handed the roasted meat to Anna, "There is no seasoning, so just make do with it."

The sizzling aroma of the barbecue tempted Anna. She had not eaten a delicious meal since she came here, so she was silent for a while and took the barbecue.

"It's a pity that I didn't bring any sweets. I'll buy you some delicious food when we get to Kuta."

“.....Thank you.” Pulling the brim of her hat lower, Anna blew on it twice, then took small bites of the barbecue in her hand.

"Why are you helping me when you are her half? Aren't you supposed to be helping her?"

Suddenly, Anna realized something. If Li Yun was the other half of Gorgon, then he should choose to help Gorgon instead of helping her, a third-rate servant.

"This question...how do I put it? It's hard to explain." Li Yun scratched his head. He couldn't possibly say that he was the other half of Athena from another world.

“Can’t you tell me?” Anna stopped moving, and her deep purple pupils revealed a hint of vigilance.

"This question... After we convince Ishtar and go back to see someone, you will know." Li Yun slowly put down the barbecue in his hand. "Although verbal words are a little pale, this is all I can say now. I am not your enemy."

"....." The young man's words were pure, without a trace of falsehood. Anna was silent for a long time before she nodded silently, indicating that she believed him.

"That's great." Li Yun smiled after receiving the girl's affirmation. "In that case, let me introduce myself. Although it's a little late, it's very necessary."

"My name is Li Yun, what's yours?"

"...I don't have a name. If you want to call me by my given name, Medusa or Gorgon will do."

"It's hard to tell who's who in this case. Hmm... Let me think, what about Anna?"

"Eh?" The girl in the black hooded robe looked up in surprise. Reflected in her deep purple eyes was the boy's heart-warming smile. "Your name."

"It's your own name. It's not Gorgon or Medusa. It's your own name that has escaped the devil."

"Besides, you hate communicating with humans, right? The name Anna can help you hide your identity. Although it can't hide it from the eyes of God."

"Woo..." Anna made a cute whimper and lowered her head again.

Watching the girl's actions, Li Yun felt more and more like a sinful man.

After dinner, Anna went into the tent to sleep at Li Yun's urging, saying something like children shouldn't stay up late, so the task of keeping watch would be left to me.

Sitting alone on a quiet path, there was no other sound except the fire burning in front of me.

Li Yun supported himself with his hands behind his back, looking at the starry night sky, and his body and mind relaxed all of a sudden.

The night sky in the Age of Gods was much more beautiful than the modern night sky. Stars were scattered randomly on the night sky, emitting their own light of all sizes. Although they were not as brilliant as the sun or as clear as the moon, their dreamy light could calm people's minds.

Of course, at this point in time, in addition to the sun, moon, and stars, there was also the burning halo in the sky of the Age of Gods...
