Chapter 681 Challenge One and Challenge Two
After being exposed to the concept of alchemy, Blaze was able to understand a lot of incredible powers.

For example, Balder's blessing of "not being harmed by anything except mistletoe".

In the description, it was Balder's mother who ordered all things to swear not to harm Balder, but how could this be done?

There are too many concepts that can cause harm, and more new concepts will be born in the future. Unless Balder's mother updates in real time, there will always be new concepts that will hurt Balder, and if she updates in real time, there is no reason to forget about mistletoe.

Therefore, this should be a blessing derived from the birth of alchemy, exchanging [only being hurt by mistletoe, or even destined to be killed by mistletoe] for [not being hurt or destroyed by any other factors].

The demon goddess Medusa, as the corpse of the goddess of wisdom Athena, plays an important role, that is, the coronation ceremony of the [King of Olympus].

Her head would inevitably be cut off and placed on the aegis.

This is a confirmed result, so no other method can hurt the demon goddess Medusa.

Blaze has determined through [Thunder Throw] that Medusa's neck is the only place where damage can be caused, but this is only the beginning of the trouble, because if Medusa is killed, two undead demonic spirits will come out.

And simply chopping off the head doesn't seem to be enough. The headless Medusa seems to be able to sense the head and move like the Headless Horseman, searching for it.

At present, it seems that only the magic bag made of goat fur can isolate the induction between the head and the body.

"You are so despicable. You actually tricked me into coming here to wipe your ass with goat fur!"

"Wipe your ass!?" Perseus covered his lower body vigilantly. "Although I am heartbroken, it doesn't mean that I am a casual person who won't be..."

"Damn it, what should I do now?" Blaze ignored Perseus and turned his back to Medusa, thinking about how to break the deadlock.

The best countermeasure at the moment is to restore Medusa to her previous state with her head and body separated, but this means using the magic bag to hold Medusa's head. He cannot use the goat fur with Medusa's head to resurrect Capricorn.

Fortunately, Blaze did have other clues, which was the name of the mission he had obtained.

The name of the mission is [Trial of the Demonic Body of the King of Olympus]. The mission itself is to defeat the Demonic Body Goddess, and the hint lies in the mission content.

After he made the choice to want to help Perseus, he was given Challenge Two, so what was Challenge One.

Blaze guessed that Challenge 1 might be to snatch Perseus' chance to become the [King of Olympus] and replace him.

This inheritance ceremony is probably not difficult. You just need to find the stone statue of Perseus and the magic bag hidden by Perseus, and then combine the shield Aegis, the magic bag, and the head of Medusa together.

Then Athena, who went crazy enough to kill her own body twice in order to obtain the [King of Olympus], will undoubtedly completely lose her mind, and the battle will turn into a BOSS battle.

Perseus's physical body doesn't pose much of a threat, so the final boss battle will probably be Athena returning to her own alienated goddess body.

With a soul, the demon goddess Medusa was resurrected as Athena.

And because it has no head, the Medusa head on the aegis cannot be seen, so it will not be petrified and killed instantly. And because of the characteristics of headless life, it knows where its head is and will chase after the holder.

Judging from the routines brought by the stranger, this is most likely the case with Challenge 10.

In either case, Athena would have to give up being the King of Olympus. The former would have taken the King of Olympus away from Athena, causing her to despair. The latter would have made Athena decide to become Perseus, ascend to the sky, and become a fairy hero in the sky.

"Have you given up on becoming the King of Olympus?" Blaze turned back to look at Perseus. Judging from Perseus's previous look of despair, it should be...

Perseus said nothing, but slowly turned his eyes away.

"You! You didn't just turn around and leave to sneak back to find the flying Aegis, did you?!"

"No!" Perseus raised his voice, his face full of sincerity, "but I can't control my physical impulses. It's the influence of the blood I inherited."

"I'm definitely giving up now!"

Blaze took a deep breath, his clenched fists trembling, he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and would blow up this despicable guy.

But if Perseus is destroyed and Athena's soul is crushed, he might be forced to inherit the title of [King of Olympus].

From what we know so far, he doesn't want to be the son of Zeus.

"Get up quickly, I'll give you this." Blaze urged Perseus to stand up, then handed him the best novice sword in Balkan City.

"Take the best sword in this village and go kill this guy."

"I hit the goddess's physical body!? Is that true?!" Perseus didn't want to take the sword that Blaze handed over at all, for fear that if he took it, he would have to hit his own goddess' physical body.

"Didn't you just look like you were going to die? Why are you afraid of death now?"

"This, this is because..." Perseus lowered his head in embarrassment. Blaze's contemptuous gaze was very piercing.

"You know, sometimes you need to build up your emotions to want to die. You just interrupted my passion, and it may take some time to build it up again... you know."

When Athena first discovered Medusa's true identity, she felt it was extremely ironic and planned to die to get rid of it.

But he was intercepted in the air by Blaze, and the back of his head and buttocks rubbed against the ground, and the atmosphere full of sentimentality and despair was gone.

“Give me a song’s time to brew…” Perseus took a deep breath and paced on the spot like an actor in a stage play, reciting the lines in a low voice.

Perseus' inner self is Athena, the goddess of wisdom, who fully demonstrates her goddess-level sense of substitution. After a while, Perseus' face is full of despair.

"You've recovered?" Blaze was a little surprised. This was a bit too magical.

“…No.” Perseus’ voice trembled. “I just feel despair when I think that if my plan fails, you might force me to fight my physical body.”

"You guy--" Blaze's eyes twitched. Perseus, or Athena, was the most difficult guy he had ever met.

This guy is just like his own male body and female soul, in two contradictory states: serious show-off and deep sorrow.

After all this time, it turns out this guy is a funny character!
