The God Slayer In The Anime World

Chapter 64: Athena



"..."

Realizing that Kaido was teasing her, Athena withdrew her gaze, straightened her beautiful posture and face, and sat upright on the sofa.

Suddenly, a tender, childlike voice was heard. "This Goddess, who was too rude before, the Eastern Godslayer... No, Kaido, your existence and actions are particularly abnormal, and even the remaining wisdom of this Goddess cannot guess what you will do next."

"But Xiu's wisdom warns me that you are not as kind as you seem at first glance."

"So, can you tell me, Kaido, what is the purpose of you doing such a thing?" Athena placed her hand on the absolute territory between her short skirt and stockings, looking at Kaido seriously.

"You guessed right, although the stone is useless to me, there's no way I'd just give it back to you that easily." Kaido marveled at Athena's composure in his heart.

Heretic Gods are deities that go against the myths woven by humans. Their personalities are mostly fierce and impatient. It's truly rare for someone like Athena to be able to calm down and negotiate, and even regain her rationality upon seeing a treasure.

However, the more outstanding Athena appeared, the stronger Kaido's possessiveness became.

"That's quite reasonable; if it were me, I would also demand equivalent compensation." Athena narrowed her eyes, carefully examining Kaido's features, especially his eyes. "Speak, Godslayer, if it's a reasonable request, this Goddess certainly won't be stingy."

Money and valuables, secrets of Heretic Gods, ancient sacred relics, and even the wisdom of a goddess. As long as Kaido wanted any of the above, Athena would give it without hesitation.

"What I want might be different from what you imagine, but first, I want to ask you a question." Kaido leaned back on the sofa, propping his chin on one hand.

"Please speak." Hearing the word "please" from Athena's mouth, the black-haired youth smiled.

"According to information gathered by Erica and others, your birth dates back thousands of years, and any record of you has one point that is completely different from other Heretic Gods."

Athena remained silent.

Kaido continued, "That is, the number of times you've faced Godslayers is very small. The battles that occurred over thousands of years of wandering are scarce. May I ask why?"

After a few seconds of silence, Athena finally spoke slowly: "Thousands of years ago, when this Goddess was still Athena, the Heretic God, a Godslayer found this Goddess and fought fiercely against him. In the end, that Godslayer was killed by this Goddess, and this Goddess also lost the divine authority of the serpent."

"You still haven't answered my question, why are you different from other Heretic Gods? If I'm not mistaken, you don't seem to hold ill will towards any Godslayer." Kaido asked.

"...Do you believe in fate?" After a long pause, Athena spoke.

After thinking for a few seconds, Kaido shook his head at the goddess, recalling how his originally ordinary life had completely changed on a hot summer day.

"Although this Goddess is a heretic god, I also have my own thoughts, divine authority, and the wisdom of a goddess. However, when this Goddess first saw the appearance of a Godslayer, a feeling of revulsion swelled in my heart." Athena's tone held an indescribable certainty.

"This Goddess tried to resist this emotion, but in the end, I couldn't completely eliminate it. This Goddess is a heretic god, but not a god who hates the world or humanity. That emotion wasn't born of disobedience; it must be another unknown existence manipulating things behind the scenes."

"Therefore, I hold no grudge against you; I have simply suppressed thoughts that do not belong to me."

"Then, all I seek is the Gorgon Stone. As long as I can regain my status as the Trine Queen, I will be one step closer to the mastermind manipulating our fate, the Gods of Disobedience."

Erica and Liliana, who had overheard the entire process from nearby, were speechless. Not even the goddess Sita had raised such a question. After all, in their impression, Godslayers and Heretic Gods were inherent natural enemies. But hearing Athena's words, it actually made a lot of sense.

Her eyes, as black as an abyss, suddenly lit up: "Then Kaido, this Goddess asks you again, what do you want?"

The affection in Kaido's eyes was extremely intense. He pointed at the majestic yet small goddess and said, "How about a goddess as wise as you follows me from now on?"

After Kaido's bold declaration, even Erica and the other girls who had heard about it before couldn't help but widen their eyes, and Princess Alice was even more excited. It must be known that Kaido was a man of his word. He had completely disregarded Black Prince Alec and taken her away before, and now he was so bold that he even subdued Athena, the greatest goddess in the Western pantheon.

The thought of the possibility of her and Athena competing in bed after his success made Alice tremble with excitement. Don't let this White Princess's refined appearance fool you; she was actually a repressed pervert, and her debauchery in bed was only known to Kaido and the women around him.

These words also had a great impact on Athena. However, after the calm came a fierce storm.

"This Goddess retracts my previous assessment of you. To attempt to defile the goddess of wisdom and war is as despicable as Zeus, who controls the sky and thunder!" The silver-haired goddess angrily glared at Kaido's face, and the rising darkness extinguished the fireplace flames.

Besides depicting the colorful lives of the gods, Greek mythology was essentially a story of incest. Uranus was born from the fingertips of his mother Gaia, though he was both Gaia's son and her husband. Later, Cronus's wife, Rhea, was his sister, and then the third-generation king of the gods, Zeus, was a complete and utter philanderer. In Greek mythology, any goddess with even a little beauty could have had a physical relationship with Zeus.

And on Mount Olympus, which was almost in ruins thanks to Zeus, only three goddesses remained pure. They were Hestia, the goddess of the hearth, Artemis, the goddess of the hunt, and Athena, the wisdom goddess. In untold secret histories, these three goddesses had been tempted by Zeus to varying degrees, but had always stood firm in their beliefs, preserving their purity.

And Athena, being Zeus's daughter, also suffered her father's strange gaze. That blatant carnal desire made Athena feel disgusted from the bottom of her heart. Although Zeus was her father, Athena felt no affection for Zeus, who harbored beastly desires towards her. If she had the chance, Athena would definitely stab Zeus in the heart. It was precisely because of this encounter that this goddess was filled with immense anger by Kaido's words.

*At first, I thought you were also an upright and uninhibited king, but I didn't expect you to be swayed by primitive desires. In the end, you are nothing more than a reckless brute with empty strength!*

The silent darkness was engulfed by an abnormal silence, with only Athena's angry, mocking voice resounding.

*Do mortals truly become Godslayers by pure luck? To this Goddess, it's nothing more than another destiny, different from that of the Heretic Gods.

"If you only wanted to kill someone and acquire powerful authority, someone would hold a high opinion of you, but such a superficial desire is as ridiculous as trying to catch the moon in the water!"

Besides despising basic desires, Athena's divine authority possessed the qualities of an Earth Mother Goddess. The goddess who once dominated the world became a plaything for men; her past glory was gone, and she could only writhe in pleasure beneath them. As an Earth Mother Goddess, Athena was both angry and helpless. However, she never expected a Godslayer to actually try to impose such a desire on her. If Athena were to submit, then the last shred of the goddess's dignity, preserved for thousands of years, would be completely lost.

After being severely reprimanded by the goddess with a series of words so charged with emotion, Kaido not only didn't get angry, but even felt a little invigorated. After becoming a Godslayer, many mortals had humbled themselves before him. He only remembered being scolded like this by a high school girl.

*Could it be that I'm actually a masochist? This is impossible!*

Kaido quickly discarded that terrifying thought and looked directly at the eloquent little goddess. "You might have some misunderstandings about me, but anything I say now will likely be rejected by you, so in the end, it all comes down to the old way." Kaido shook his head helplessly. If he merely desired Athena's body, he could have just had Alice and the others transform into her appearance using sorcery for nighttime revelries.

"Let your fighting spirit soar, Godslayer! This Goddess's fighting spirit is at its peak, and that suppressed malice has also been unleashed. Staining this Goddess's hands with your blood is the greatest punishment for disrespecting the goddess!" As soon as the words fell, Athena's small body expanded with a huge amount of magical power. Although she was in a weakened state due to the loss of her divine authority, she was still a Heretic God.

An unknown sense of loneliness washed over them. Although they were in the room, the girls felt separated, as if isolated in an extremely cold place. A chilling sensation, like a worm clinging to a bone, gripped the girls' hearts. Silence and an abnormal malice surrounded the entire space.

"The part of this Goddess's heart that is the god of war considers you an enemy and longs to fight you, but the part that is the wisdom goddess warns that you are a very dangerous person. Your mere existence makes this Goddess feel as dangerous as a trap!"

Kaido also felt the suppressed fighting spirit within him. As Athena's magical power continuously rose, the destined struggle between the Heretic God and the Godslayer slightly displeased him. Forcibly suppressing that feeling, he said, "My request won't change, but to show my sincerity, how about we view this as a transaction?"

"..." Athena arched an eyebrow and said nothing.

"I can give you the **Gorgon Stone**, but after you regain your divine authority, how about we have a fair competition? If you lose, you'll be my prisoner. Didn't the Greeks like this kind of thing?"

"And if you lose?" Athena narrowed her eyes. Kaido's proposal undoubtedly benefited her.

"Whatever you want, but I don't think I'll lose," Kaido said.

"How can this Goddess trust you?" Before she finished speaking, the Gorgon Stone flew out of Kaido's hand. Seeing the emblem arcing through the air, Athena instinctively reached out and caught it.

"Is that enough?" Feeling the familiar aura, the joy in Athena's eyes could no longer be hidden.

"Aren't you worried that Xiong Zhou will go back on his word?"

"If you broke your word, you wouldn't be Athena."

"This goddess accepts this praise, and with the wisdom and dignity of a goddess, I accept this transaction." Athena raised her head proudly. Of course, she wasn't that kind of evil and despicable goddess.

The silver-white hair on the young goddess's head swayed without wind, like countless silver serpents. "Undoubtedly, the Queen will not fail, but after the Queen achieves victory, I will not kill you, for you will be her prisoner forever, for all eternity. Even your soul, after death, will serve the Queen!"

"How selfish," Kaido said.

Then, he turned to look at the girls who were trembling from the goddess's chilling magical power. "Sita, please take them to a safe place first."

"Understood, King." The crystal-eyed princess shook her head, and after a sigh, cast a transfer spell on Erica and the others. The space fluctuated, and the girls' figures vanished from the spot.

On the other side, Athena's figure disappeared from the dark living room and appeared over Tokyo. The little goddess held the **Gorgon Stone** high, her body radiating a silver light as dazzling as a silver moon. The goddess bathed in silver light, her figure in the sky so elegant that it made mortals temporarily forget the fear the darkness brought.

In this dark world, Athena, radiating sacred light, was like a goddess of salvation. Just contemplating her, a warm hope bloomed in one's heart.

Athena. The characteristics represented by this name finally came into play in a tangible way.
