Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki.

This divine tool is the key for her to retrieve the complete Trinity and reclaim her exalted position.

"Has someone else gotten it again? Is fate mocking me?"

Slowly closing her eyes, Athena's tone was indescribable.

The time she has spent trying to retrieve her divine tool and complete her spiritual body is no longer a matter of years or decades.

It's been centuries, millennia.

She has a sense of her divine tool, and unless it's sealed by special means, she can find it within a large range.

However, every time she's about to find her divine tool, nearing its location, either the aura of the divine tool vanishes directly, or she's affected by other events.

It's as if there's a powerful being in the dark, manipulating the threads of fate, preventing her from retrieving her divinity.

"So, what I found was a defective product. Feels like a wasted trip."

"Hmm?"

A faint voice sounded behind Athena. Athena frowned instantly, turned around, and the man who had silently approached her came into view.

"To be approached by a Godslayer without me noticing, I was careless."

Athena said this while narrowing her snake-like eyes.

"Godslayer?"

"I overheard some interesting terms."

A smirk appeared on Haramura Makoto's lips.

"Oh?"

"You don't know about Godslayers?"

"From the beginning, you've been saying things that make me feel confused."

Athena's heart was filled with vigilance and curiosity.

In this world, the spirits called gods are bound by mythology, confined to the realm of death.

Gods who want to break free from the shackles of mythology will descend to earth as rebellious gods.

Ordinary humans cannot observe gods. Even if a god passes by their side, they cannot detect it.

All they can sense are the disasters caused by gods in their anger.

Floods, tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes...

Various disasters that take human lives are almost always inextricably linked to the descent of rebellious gods.

The descent of gods is a natural disaster for humans, a calamity, an irresistible force.

However, this does not mean that no one among humans will resist gods.

Humans who rely on Pandora's usurpation ritual to defeat rebellious gods in a miracle and seize their powers.

Will gain the power to rival rebellious gods.

Godslayers, Demon Kings, humans use various names to describe these beings who have surpassed humanity and are not inferior to gods.

This is why Athena initially guessed Haramura Makoto's true identity as a Godslayer.

Ordinary humans, no matter how careless she is, no matter how absent-minded she is, cannot approach her to such an extent.

Only Godslayers can do this, using some special powers.

But this man actually asks what a Godslayer is.

This really surprised Athena. She didn't doubt whether Haramura Makoto was deliberately pretending.

Because she knew that this was very likely true.

The reason is that her fighting instinct has not been activated.

Why are Godslayers and rebellious gods natural enemies?

It's because when these two beings meet, no matter what the external conditions are at the moment, no matter how wise or rational the rebellious god is, they will follow their instincts and engage in a fight with the Godslayer.

She doesn't have that feeling now, which is already a significant proof.

"I indeed have nothing to do with the rebellious gods and Godslayers you mentioned."

"If I have to say something, you can think of me as a traveler."

"Traveler?"

"That's quite an interesting title."

Athena's snake pupils stared intently at Haramura Makoto, and a terrifying aura constantly emanated from her body.

"So, what does this traveler want with me?"

"It shouldn't be just because you find it interesting and came to chat with me, right?"

She is indeed very interested in this peculiar existence of Haramura Makoto.

This man is dangerous. Just standing opposite him, she can feel that suffocating pressure.

But she's not a Godslayer. As a goddess of wisdom, how could she not be interested?

After all, this represents unknown knowledge.

However, how could she forget the existence of danger? If she were really the kind of guy with no brains and only brute force, she would have been killed by visiting Godslayers or steel gods in her current state of deficiency.

"Indeed."

"I need to know all your knowledge and information about the divine realm of this world."

Haramura Makoto stood there calmly, in stark contrast to the tense Athena at the moment.

"I see."

"This indeed fits the role of a traveler. When a foreigner comes to a new world, they need to understand the basic situation of the world first, right?"

Athena nodded knowingly.

"Actually, I personally don't mind telling you about the affairs of the divine realm."

"Anyway, those who rule that place now are just a bunch of despicable thieves. It would be a happy thing for me if you, an outsider, could clash with them."

Touching her chin, Athena thought thoughtfully.

But then, Athena's tone suddenly changed.

"I refuse."

One second Athena still looked like she was tempted and wanted to agree directly, the next second she rejected Haramura Makoto's proposal like a master of face-changing in Peking opera.

"Is it your pride as a rebellious god that's acting up?"

Being played like this, Haramura Makoto didn't get angry, but replied very calmly.

"If I have to say it, it is indeed pride."

"You called me a defective product just now. Although this is also a fact, I still need to save face when I'm underestimated and looked down upon like this."

"I need to let you know the greatness of Athena."

In an instant, the sky cheered, the earth trembled, as if this space was trembling with Athena's anger.

"Oh."

"Such a reason is understandable. No matter who it is, if they are underestimated, they will definitely want to prove themselves."

Haramura Makoto nodded casually.

It was just that his nonchalance, towards Athena's poised appearance, made Athena's anger even higher.

"In that case."

Haramura Makoto said, while his gaze fell on Edelweiss.

Edelweiss immediately nodded understandingly, took a step across and stood directly in front of Haramura Makoto. White armor, long swords in both hands, appeared almost at the same time.

"Leave it to me."

"I will use my sword to make her recognize reality."

Godslayer

Chapter 290 New World

"Instead of taking action himself, he chooses to let his followers take action."

"I have to say, you have once again increased my anger, outsider."

"It seems I need to let you experience the power of the God of War."

If Athena was still retaining some rationality before, now Haramura Makoto's appearance is really making Athena about to lose her mind.

Throughout history, no one has ever been so presumptuous in front of her.

"In the name of Athena, I command, let the dark night appear here, dispel the grace of the sun, go and destroy the fire of Prometheus, the starry sky and the dark wind, recreate the ancient night here."

As the incantation ended, Athena's body suddenly lit up with a brilliant light that was not inferior to the beauty goddess Venus.

At the same time, the 'light' of the entire Milan began to disappear.

First, the street lights and light that illuminated the streets at night disappeared.

Then there were human homes, companies, apartments, hotels, bars, neon lights, car searchlights, and finally even flashlights, even grain-sized light bulbs were not spared--

Every artificial light source was disappearing.

When the fabricated sunlight disappeared, what replaced it was the streets filled with real darkness.

It even turned the area several meters ahead into a bottomless abyss of night.

"It seems she's really angry."

"Don't be careless, Little Ai. Even if she lacks a part of her divinity, her positions as the God of Wisdom and the God of War still exist."

Taking two steps back, Haramura Makoto casually looked around and found that the surroundings had become pitch black in that instant, and even the stars had been swallowed by the night.

"I will win."

Entering a state of battle, Edelweiss was single-minded, her eyes fixed on that beautiful figure that could not be ignored even in the dark night.

This is Edelweiss.

Even if she usually looks like a salted fish, with no ambition and no excessive sense of oppression.

But when she enters a state of battle, her belief that she will win is stronger than anyone else.

"Of course, I absolutely believe in you too."

Haramura Makoto nodded lightly.

How could he not believe in Edelweiss's strength? Even if he doesn't have a particularly clear understanding of the specific power of a rebellious god.

But, what kind of existence is Edelweiss?

She is the existence that was able to sink the Neon continent in the 001 observation world.

Just a god's incarnation, even if she can't win, it's impossible for her to lose.

"Arrogant, I will first take off the head of your follower, to let you know my power, outsider."

Dark purple divine power gathered in Diana's white and tender palm, eventually forming a wide and sharp sickle.

The sickle has been used as a tool for harvesting 'grain' since ancient times, and grain represents the vitality of the earth, so it has also been given the ability to "reap life" and has become the symbolic weapon of most death gods.

For Athena, she has not yet regained the power of the underworld.

But this does not mean that she cannot use any of the power of the underworld.

Faced with Athena's declaration of certain victory, Edelweiss did not hesitate at all, grasping the hilt of the sword with both hands and directly waving out afterimages.

"Come on."

The sharp sword energy suddenly spread out like a rainstorm, centered on Edelweiss.

The originally stable space was instantly cut into countless spatial faults under this rainstorm-like sword energy.
