I travel through countless worlds at the same time

"Snake, and the king, could it be that the one who came this time is really the legendary Athena?"

Thinking of Athena's information, Erica felt desperate. The other party was of noble status and she was not someone she could deal with at all.

And the moment she finished speaking.

A strange and childish voice also sounded behind Liliana.

"A clever guess. Didn't you expect that the fool had already figured out my identity? So you're here to fight for my body, too?"

Upon hearing this, Liliana quickly turned her head and immediately saw an owl flapping its wings in the air.

Obviously, this is just one of the other party's incarnations.

However, when she saw this incarnation, endless despair suddenly surged in her heart.

Generally speaking, the symbols of the Earth Mother Goddess are animals such as dragons, snakes, lizards, or cows, but the owl is an exception, because it not only symbolizes the night, but also symbolizes the underworld.

In Greek mythology, the favorite bird of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, is an owl (a type of owl that is believed to be able to predict events). Therefore, the ancient Greeks revered the owl as a symbol of Athena and wisdom.

In Japan, owls are called lucky birds, representing good luck and happiness. People are afraid of owls and think they can be used to drive away evil.

In Britain, people believed that eating burnt and powdered owl eggs could correct their eyesight, and Yorkshire people believed that soup made from owls could cure whooping cough.

In China, the owl is often regarded as an "ominous bird", called a soul-chasing bird, a bird that announces death, etc. In ancient books, it is also called a strange owl, a ghost car, a ghost, or a wandering bird, as a symbol of bad luck and death. In addition, the owl's cry in the dark is as eerie and desolate as a ghost, which makes people feel more terrified. In ancient times, it was called a "bird of evil voice".

"Lady Athena!"

The moment she saw the other person, Liliana bowed and saluted.

Although the two sides are natural enemies, the other party is a god of disobedience after all, so the courtesy due should not be neglected.

"Very good, but are you here to stop me from getting the snake?"

The owl, which could speak human language, praised him, and then suddenly changed its form, transforming into a cute little girl who looked to be in her early teens, with short silver hair and a woolen hat in the shape of cat ears.

However, at this moment, the little girl's eyes emitted a faint light like an owl.

Young Athena glanced at Liliana in front of her and was about to say something.

Suddenly, Erica's surprised voice came from behind the ruins.

"Lily, come and help me, I found my uncle!"

As she spoke, she smashed a broken wall in front of her, and then supported a man with long hair and a beard that was slightly shoulder-length.

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

The opponent was in a very miserable state at this moment, with scars all over his sturdy body. He held a broken shield in his left hand, and the inverted thorn-shaped assault spear in his right hand had been broken into half.

Apparently, he relied on these two items to withstand Athena's attack just now.

Not only that, when she looked carefully, she found that one of the other person's legs was bent at a strange angle. Upon closer inspection, it was obvious that he was petrified.

Does this mean that even a Paladin cannot cure this petrification curse?

Thinking of this, Liliana's heart sank and she hurried over.

"How are you feeling now?"

“Hehehe… I won’t die in a short time. I’m willing to pay this price to face the God of Disobedience as my opponent.”

"But fortunately, I was able to protect this thing, and I have lived up to the king's trust."

As he spoke, he took out a transparent box from behind his shield.

Inside the box is the Gorgon Stone mentioned earlier.

The reason why he was able to block the opponent's petrification magic was that he suddenly remembered what Higashino Yuu said before he became a godslayer: "Use magic to defeat magic."

So he put the stone on the shield with the mentality of giving it a try.

Fortunately, he managed to survive at the cost of his legs being petrified.

Otherwise, he would be like his colleagues.

636. Erica's Accusation

"By the way, did the king say what to do with this thing?"

St. Paul on the side asked the two of them.

Under Liliana's gaze, when St. Paul took out this divine tool, Athena's eyes obviously froze, but she did not step forward to snatch it.

So Liliana took the divine tool and said, "The king has already thought that this thing will attract the God of Disobedience, so he said he would keep it personally."

Hearing this, St. Paul was visibly relieved.

"That's good. This way my mission is accomplished..."

Using divine tools to resist the attacks of gods might work for a short period of time, but if it lasts for a long time, it will inevitably be discovered.

In fact, if the opponent had not used his full strength, he would not have been able to survive the attack.

After all, divine tools are always dead things, but the existence of the gods who are not "one, four, seven" is real.

An excellent knight can rival a divine beast, but if he faces a disobedient god, he will die.

However, he looked at the girl who took the slate with a worried look on his face.

"Liliana, although I know that you have learned something from the king and now have the title of Paladin, it is still very difficult to fight that bodyguard, so the king must take action."

Although St. Paul's words were not very straightforward, the meaning was very clear. With the king's training, you might be able to fight against ordinary divine beasts, but you are still a long way from being able to fight against the God of Disobedience.

The reason why he said this was because he was worried that this girl, like his niece, wanted to establish merit and then become an enemy of the God of Disobedience.

"Don't worry, I believe the king already knows the problem here, and I believe he will be here soon."

With the power of the Eastern God of War, as long as she calls Dongye You's name, Dongye You will be able to hear it and rush to her side quickly. This is why Dongye You dares to send them out at this time.

"Is that so? Then I'll be relieved."

Hearing this, St. Paul let out a long breath, and even the shield and broken spear that he had been holding tightly in his hands could not be held anymore and fell to the ground.

Having said that, after Liliana carefully put away the Gorgon Stone, she still looked at the silver-haired loli goddess with a vigilant expression.

"Didn't the reason why Gojin attacked the Red Copper and Black Cross headquarters was for this stone tablet?"

Although she has now obtained the power of light bestowed by Higashino Yu, Liliana is not too proud.

If the other party really needs the Gorgon Stone.

Why didn’t you snatch it from me before?

She didn't think the other party couldn't do such a small thing.

Hearing Liliana's question, the young Goddess Stone sneered. The goddess of wisdom, who symbolized the owl, would naturally know that she could have easily obtained the Gorgon Stone by just making a move before.

but!

"You ignorant mortal, do I have to snatch something that belongs to me with my own hands? Shouldn't you offer it to me with your own hands?"

She looked at Liliana as if she was talking about an ordinary and normal thing.

But it is true that humans have no means of resistance against gods, and can only listen to and execute the orders of disobedient gods.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and quickly present the snake to me. I have something else to ask you!"

She was clearly just a loli, but when Liliana looked at her, it was as if she was looking at an unreachable mountain.

But this is normal. The language of gods is like a decree to mortals, and they have no right to refute it.

This is true even for Liliana, who has already obtained a knight seat.

but--

Liliana, who possessed the power of Agito, was awakened by the power of Agito in her body the moment she was shaken.

Therefore, to outsiders, Liliana's eyes were confused for less than a second before she recovered immediately.

Then he shook his head with a serious look on his face: "Please forgive me for rejecting it, but this is what I present to my king!"

"Oh? You can actually ignore what I said..."

The young Athena looked somewhat surprised at the other person's face, and could not help but look her up and down. The eyes of a goddess quickly saw through Liliana's true nature.

"I see. Did the divine power in your body block it for you? So you are the servant of the Lord of Rakshasa here?"

If the opponent is just an excellent magician, it will be nothing to Athena. Even if he is the best knight in the world, Athena can destroy him with a wave of her hand...

But if the other party is the servant of the godslayer, it’s a different story.

"Before this, I heard that the Rakshasa Lord of this land has extraordinary strength. Although I don't know whether it is true or not, this power is indeed good. It's a pity that I don't know how much you, as a servant of the Rakshasa Lord, can exert this power?"

Looking at Liliana, Athena became a little interested. No, that's not quite accurate. To be precise, she was interested in the power of light in Liliana's body.

After all, she is the goddess of wisdom and war, and war is also part of her power.

"Although my strength is not even one ten-thousandth of my king's, I will not rush to you if you want to snatch this divine weapon!"

Hearing this, Athena couldn't help but smile.

"Hehe, you actually dare to raise your sword against me? Very good, you really do look like a warrior. But you are no match for me, so you'd better hand it over quickly!"

As she spoke, Athena moved.

An extremely dark sickle suddenly appeared behind Liliana, and then chopped down without hesitation.

"careful!"

Alia, who was supporting Saint Paul not far away, glared with her heart pounding.

This is a pitch-black sickle. It is not only Athena's weapon, but also the weapon of the god of death. According to legend, once you are wounded by this sickle, you will never be able to recover.

Apart from the God Slayer, only the legendary God of Disobedience can possess such a powerful artifact.

however--

Just as Athena showed a faint smile on her face, a bright white light suddenly released from Liliana's waist, blinding everyone.

When the light faded, Liliana had transformed into a completely different person.

He held a knife in one hand and a gun in the other, and the knife and gun crossed to block the long handle of the sickle.

"Is Yushin willing to resort to such a sneak attack just for the sake of the divine weapon?"

Seeing that Liliana was fine, Erica breathed a sigh of relief, then raised her head and could not help but loudly accuse Athena.

637. Athena and Higashino Yuu

I have to say that Erica is indeed much stronger than the average person in terms of courage.

If it were an ordinary person, he would probably be trembling with fear after being hit by Athena, but Erica was able to withstand the pressure from the opponent and accuse her without any hesitation.

This is also the case in the original work. In the original work, she was not even as powerful as she is now, but she dared to assist Kusanagi Godou in fighting against the gods.

However, the young goddess who missed the target showed no reaction to Erica's pointing.

"If you lose on the front battlefield because you underestimate the enemy, it's just that your ability is still insufficient."

As she spoke, she waved her hand casually, and the sand on the ground instantly bulged up, and then turned into dragon-like and snake-like beasts.

This is the basic power of the Mother Goddess of the Earth. Representing dragons and snakes, they naturally possess the power to summon the earth to gather into dragons and snakes at will.

"Besides, I don't consider you as my rivals."

　26 While speaking contemptuously, the giant snake beside her suddenly turned its tail towards Liliana. Its black silhouette was like lightning, cracking the ground with a snap and stirring up a cloud of dust.

If Liliana hadn't acted quickly enough, she would have been hit.

"Damn it! Are you always like this when you're fighting?" Liliana swung the long sword in her hand, creating a red line of fire, which directly chopped the giant snake, causing it to hiss.

At this moment, the strange snake's pupils were cold and stern, and it exuded unparalleled power.

This is the power of the God of Disobedience. With just a stretch of his hand, he can summon disasters of the level of divine beasts.

The next second, the strange snake continued to swoop towards him, and its speed was even more terrifying than a bullet.

Liliana, who was covered in armor, had an unchanged expression. She threw away the Storm Halberd and held the knife in both hands, instantly slashing at the monster snake wildly. The terrifying power directly enveloped the monster snake.

All around the two men fighting, all kinds of dust and flames were flying, and even explosions were heard continuously.

St. Paul looked at the scene in front of him and took a deep breath. This divine beast was much more powerful than he had imagined. Although it was only summoned by the God of Disobedience, its power was far beyond that of the great knight.
