Give Hope to a Dying World

"Oh!"

It came again, after confirming that Kusanagi Godou couldn't spit it out, Athena stopped, completely destroyed those highly poisonous potions, and helped Kusanagi Godou clean up the appearance.

"You know, the body of the godslayers is very troublesome. If you don't use more strength, you won't be able to affect them." Athena explained when she saw Luo Lihui hesitated to speak.

"I see."

Luo Lihui also thinks that the body of the godslayer is difficult to destroy, but... the scene looks really scary.

At least if she was asked to come, she would definitely not choose such a simple and rude method, and maybe she would call the hospital for a gastric lavage.

She didn't think Athena had done anything wrong, she was just shocked by what she showed at that time.

cruel!No mercy!At the moment when her knees were on top of her, Athena didn't have any kindness in her heart, especially with the current cute appearance... If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes just now, she would never believe it anyway, looking harmless to humans and animals Athena who looks like Athena will make such a fierce move.

"Surprised that the concubine would make such a move?"

"A little bit, in my impression, the words of the goddess should be more elegant."

Shouldn't the normal version of the goddess stand gracefully in front of the statue or on the throne, then silently bless her warriors and leave all the physical work to others?Like Saint Seiya's version of Athena, the most proficient is to be kidnapped, and then gracefully wait for someone to rescue her, how can anyone do it directly like the guy in front of me.

"You have to remember that the concubine has the divine power of war, not a vase."

I know, but I've seen another god of war who is so strong, man, and more elegant than you.

Luo Lihui didn't dare to say what was in her heart. After all, we were still partners, so we should be more friendly. It was definitely not because he couldn't beat the other party so he didn't dare to provoke.

Showing the most innocent smile (giggle) to Athena, the sincerity in the bright eyes, the tolerance from the heart in the slightly raised corners of the mouth, then... well, I can’t make it up anymore, but The effect is indeed good, and Athena is quite satisfied with this smile.

On the tables and chairs outside a casual restaurant by the sea, Kusanagi Godou finally came to his senses. After being tortured continuously, this child's face is a bit haggard now, but there is a firm gaze in his eyes.

After shaking his head for a few times, he regained consciousness, but he still felt motion sickness, and his stomach felt as if he had been run over by a truck. At the same time, he was still a little hungry... He obviously remembered that he was full before going out .

"Are you awake? Have you met the original godslayer?"

A childish voice came from the opposite side of the seat, and it wasn't until then that Kusanagi Godou realized that there were two girls opposite him, and they were all staring at him with snake-like pupils.

"It seems that you are awake. Now that you are awake, eat something. You should be very hungry now. You passed out for so long at once, but being able to wake up means that you have chosen to take on the responsibility of killing the gods. We will help you Yes. Please take care of me in the future."

Lolita pushed the food on the table towards Kusanagi Godou, and Kusanagi Godou, who had nothing in his stomach, ate without hesitation, his empty body was urging him to eat something quickly.

"Thank you, I'm really hungry. I've realized my responsibility, thank you for coming to help me." Kusanagi Godou thanked while feeding something into his mouth.

But if he knew that it was these two guys in front of him who made him so weak, he probably wouldn't be in the mood to thank them.

"I don't know your names yet, can you tell me? I am Kusanagi Godou, the newly born Godslayer."

Looking curiously at the two girls in front of him, Kusanagi Godou did not despise them because of their appearance.One of the girls wearing a cat-eared hat was the one who made him unconscious because she appeared in front of him before. Although the other girl had never seen it before, she was probably not an ordinary person who was chosen by the original godslayer.

"My concubine is Athena, the God of Disobedience, and also the partner of the original Godslayer." Athena did not hide her identity as the God of Disobedience, because as long as Kusanagi Godou meets the God of Disobedience again, You will realize that the feeling you had when you met Athena was an early warning of meeting a disobedient god.

Seeing Kusanagi Godou's vigilance, Athena continued: "Don't be nervous, I'm not the same as other Gods of Disobedience, which also leads to another Athena of Disobedience active in this world. If you meet her, you realize the difference between us."

"She is Aodong, the leader of the Council of Sages in Greenwich. You should have heard the story of her and the original godslayer. If you encounter any difficulties that cannot be solved and you cannot find us in time, you can contact the Council of Sages .”

Athena's words made Kusanagi Godou a little more relaxed. Although a God of Disobedience as a companion was a bit stimulating, Aodong's status as the great sage still made him accept these contents.Under the leadership of Athena, the Council of Sages of Greenwich is not only an organization well-known in the magic world, but he also came into contact with this organization known for charity when he was an ordinary person in the past.

Because the appearance of the God of Disobedience comes with natural disasters, the Council of Sages has been taking care of the aftermath since ancient times, just like the existence of natural disasters in the world that will follow them to rescue disasters, and it has a high reputation among ordinary people. popularity.

"About the matter between us, I hope you don't disclose it to other people easily. After all, my identity is a bit troublesome, and the news that the original godslayer is dying will bring a lot of bad influence. If you are Some people know that it may make them who dare not act rashly start to act." Athena reminded, and then got up and left with Luo Lihui.

"We will not always be by your side, please pay attention to your own safety and work hard to grow."

Watching the two disappear into the street, Kusanagi Godou kept digesting the information while eating the food on the table.Under the injection of new food, his depleted body quickly recovered, and the injection of a large amount of food also diluted the last little potion left on his body, so that there would be no danger of being discovered afterwards.

"Wang, where have you been? We will be worried if you disappeared for so long suddenly. If you need anything, you can tell us."

Erika's voice came from behind. This beautiful witch was still charming, but Kusanagi Godou's mentality was completely different from before.The mission of saving the world is calling him, how can he indulge in an affair with his children?

Quickly making a judgment, Kusanagi Godou did not answer Erica's question as obediently as in the past, and said perfunctorily: "I just think the scenery here is good, and I just want to rest here."

After he finished speaking, Luo Lihui and Athena, who were hiding in the dark, left in peace.

"Tell her directly that you are the God of Disobedience, is there really no problem? And letting me use the identity of Aodong is too casual, in case the truth is revealed..."

"Don't worry, just leave it to me." Patting Luo Lihui on the head to express comfort, Athena didn't feel nervous at all.

Chapter 665 Chapter six hundred sixty-seven - Guess

Kusanagi Godou, who had given up on the road of the harem king and stubbornly embarked on the road of the savior of the world, did not continue to spend time on useless sightseeing, but devoted his time to more valuable things.

It's not that the savior can't be the harem king, it's just that the focus of the two is different.The way of the harem king is to save the world while picking up girls. It’s okay if you don’t have to, but the way of the savior is to find time to pick up girls while saving the world. If you don’t have enough time, it doesn’t matter if you don’t spend time picking up girls.

Kusanagi Godou's sudden change after disappearing for a period of time is not a good thing for the Red Copper Cross, because a king who doesn't understand anything is obviously more confident than a king who has already started to act on his own.

However, when the top executives of the Red Copper Cross were having a headache, the witch Erika felt that Kusanagi Godou was in a very good state. Serious people are easy to attract people. Today's Kusanagi Godou is undoubtedly more majestic than before, and also Even more attractive to Erica.If a large part of her previous approach was due to the order of the Red Copper Cross, then now she has begun to be attracted by Kusanagi Godou, and actively approached.

However, it's a pity that Kusanagi Godou didn't react much to Erica's closeness, and even deliberately kept a distance. The dissatisfaction that he couldn't get made Erica even more devoted.Hope to rely on Erica to bind the red copper cross of the newborn king, and perhaps become the biggest loser.

For the remaining few days, Kusanagi Godou kept looking through the documents inside the Red Copper Cross, looking for information about Athena.Although the other party is a companion, it is not a bad thing to get to know more, and Athena also said that there is another Athena who does not follow her and is active in this world.

In order to deal with another Athena, it is undoubtedly a safe choice to understand the myths related to Athena and prepare for one's [Golden Sword].

"The most famous one is the goddess of wisdom and war in Greek mythology, but at the same time there are two Athenas who break away from mythology and are active in the world, so it is obviously not that simple. When I faced her before, I didn't feel that the golden sword could be used. It also shows that the myths I understand are not complete."

After becoming a godslayer, Kusanagi Godou's head has also been improved, and his thinking has become much clearer.

"Athena with multiple existences... I found it. The only goddess who fits this situation is the Trinity. Athena in Greek mythology is just a part of her mythology. In this case, it makes sense that the golden sword does not respond. .”

Opening a very old book, judging from its contents, this book has been reprinted several times, but the author still wrote a lot of useful things in it.

"Athena, Mortis...and finally Medusa who was stripped off as a [snake]." Feeling the tremor of the golden sword, Kusanagi Godou knew that he had found the right direction, a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, letting Erica, who kept sending related books from the side, was moved by reading it.

"Athena, who is active in this world today, has three godheads, and belongs to powerful gods who are not weaker than those god kings and main gods... No, it should be stronger than these. Athena herself is already one of the main gods in Greek mythology. One, the superposition of the three will definitely be stronger."

Seeing the content reported in the latest information of the Red Copper Cross, that there is a God of Disobedience secretly looking for things related to snakes, Kusanagi Godou almost sorted out the clues.

Athena has always been closely related to snakes, although people now always believe that owls are her incarnation, but that is just a helpless compromise under the invasion and distortion of mythology.

Medusa, who has a story linked to it in Greek mythology, is originally the same goddess as Athena.That is the ancient myth before the myth of Athena spread to Greece and became Athena and Medusa in Greek mythology.At that time, Athena was the monster in the form of the [snake], or the [snake goddess].

Even Metis, the mother of Athena in Greek mythology, originally belonged to Athena.Athena is not a goddess evolved from Greek mythology, but a goddess of the earth born in North Africa and worshiped by the entire Mediterranean.

Metis, Medusa, Athena, Yanata, Ashera... Athena at that time had many other names and images.The existences in these myths are all incarnations separated from the true body of [Athena], and it can also be said to be the manifestation of a certain aspect of it.Just like the previous Mekal, after its myth was eroded by the Bible, it became the king of the dung mound, one of the seven demon kings of hell... This is how the myth has been distorted with the times.

Fortunately, the previous Mekar was summoned by the God of War relying on the ruins on the island. Otherwise, the natural disaster that came with him as the king of the dung mound might be very terrifying, terrifying in various senses.

Kusanagi Godou followed the clues to trace back to Athena's more ancient form. In the period when Athena's myth was strong, she was not only the goddess of the earth, but also the god of the underworld who controlled the underworld, and the goddess who controlled the wise birds in the sky. .

Because of these three attributes, it is a trinity, and this is the posture that Athena hopes to restore.

The theocracy of wisdom comes from the goddess of birds, and the theocracy of war comes from the influence of the god of the underworld. War brings death, which is just an additional theocracy after reverse thinking.

And the stripped [snake] is the key to Athena's existence as a trinity.Although later generations use the harvest of "cow", "pig" and "sheep" to symbolize the harvest of the earth, but "snake" is the most essential form of the earth mother, and it is the key to the oldest earth mother.

Life will experience birth, growth, aging, and death. The grains on the earth will also experience germination in spring, growth in summer, decay after fruiting in autumn, and then wither and die in winter.And the snake that constantly sheds its skin and keeps hibernating and waking up symbolizes the cycle of death and life, and the incarnation of the cycle of four seasons. Therefore, [snake] is the symbol of the real ancient goddess of the earth.

Compared with the [cow], which symbolizes harvest and love, the [snake], which has life symbolizing grace and death symbolizing disaster, is the incarnation that best fits the character of the Earth Mother Goddess.Therefore, Athena is the snake goddess.

And the snake that seems dead in winter and wakes up in spring also represents the concept of immortality.Therefore, Athena is also the immortal god of the underworld, the god who brings death and life, and exists with nature and the underworld at the same time.Therefore, [snake] is the key to Athena being both the goddess of the earth and the god of the underworld.

In addition, the ancients' concept of the underworld is generally underground, a dark and desolate world, so the night dominated by darkness is also included in the authority of the god of the underworld.

And the part of "bird" also comes from this. In a long time ago, human ancestors believed that birds had the magic power to fly in different worlds, and the souls of the dead would be guided into the underworld by birds.

Although this part has been continuously twisted and turned into a nocturnal bird-an owl, its original image is actually a [winged snake], a dragon that is very similar to the dragon killed by the hero in mythology. image.

The original Athena was a winged snake, the goddess of life and death worshiped by the ancients, ruling the earth and the underworld, and the wise god in charge of the sky.With such a powerful myth, it can be said to be the highest-level existence among all gods.This is not a godhead created by random rewriting, but Athena's true form before being distorted and separated.

That era was still a feminist society, and it was not surprising that the supreme god in mythology was a woman.

But with the end of the feminist era, the supreme god has also changed from the earth mother goddess of the matriarchal society to the majestic father god.So the god king began to replace the position of the earth mother, and the myth of Athena was also distorted. The oldest Athena and her incarnations all degenerated into the wife, sister or daughter of the god king, losing the glory of the past.

Athena became the daughter of Zeus and was almost swallowed so that she could not be born.And Metis was insulted by Zeus and took away her wisdom, and Medusa directly degenerated into a monster...There seems to be signs of Poseidon's activities behind this.

Athena became a virgin goddess, refusing all courtship, perhaps also to avoid her own complete depravity.There are not many goddesses of the same origin, either turned into monsters, or turned into 'saved goddesses'.

The earth goddesses who lost in the alternation of myths, their winged snakes have also been described in myths-dragons.

The existence that was beheaded by heroes and gods in countless myths is exactly the posture of the Earth Mother after being belittled.In the twisted myth of the victor, the divinity of the Earth Mother is fundamentally denied.

Kusanagi Godou closed the book with a slightly moved expression.

"Suddenly I felt... how lucky I was to not be hacked to death by Athena as a male."

Thinking in another way, if you are being tricked like this, you will probably be divided by gender, and start revenge mercilessly... The Athena I met before was burdened with such a story, but she still communicated with me peacefully. The chosen companion of the original Godslayer.

On the other hand, when Kusanagi Godou was flipping through books to find information, Lolita had already easily learned her story from Athena.After experiencing the previous incident of 'not knowing that Athena has the identity of the god of the underworld', Luo Lihui felt that it was necessary for her to understand the story of this companion.

And after learning about it, she also understood why Athena worked so hard to break up the couple. This is completely malicious revenge!

The male god who symbolizes [steel] and the goddess [snake], this kind of hostile relationship feels more serious than the contradiction between the disobedient god and the godslayer.

Expressing sympathy for Athena's story, Chen Hui felt that among the Earth Mother Goddesses, she really had a miserable time.Like Nvwa in Chinese mythology, the situation is much better. It is very in line with the identity of the earth mother god. She still retains the image of the snake goddess, and she is still the god that the Chinese people prefer.The myths of Nuwa creating man and Nuwa mending the sky are still very popular.

"Athena, do you know Nuwa? Compared with you, I feel that you are really...okay when I didn't say anything?"

Before she finished speaking, Luo Lihui felt the temperature around her drop rapidly.The thermometer on the wall has not changed, which means that I feel that the temperature is getting colder because I am completely scared.

And the source of this chill is also very obvious. Athena, who is already exuding an ominous atmosphere in front of Luo Lihui, is the source.

"Nuwa? I have also heard of it. She is a very powerful goddess of the earth. Even in the change of mythology, she still retains her own mythology and is supported by many male gods. Although she also has There have been distorted fairy tales, but the popularity is still high."

Athena now really wants to eat Lolita, who doesn't know how to read the atmosphere, or swallow it raw, but unfortunately she can't do it yet because she hasn't retrieved the [snake].

"I don't taste good, not chewy, and there are more broken bones." Luo Lihui was taken aback by Athena's predator-like cold eyes, and quickly listed the reasons why she was not suitable for making ingredients, but the effect was not good. not good.

"A lot of broken bones? It seems to be good. It doesn't matter if it's not chewy, snakes like to swallow it whole."

Under Luo Lihui's horrified eyes, Athena bit on Luo Lihui's body, but it didn't bring any pain, and Luo Lihui, who closed her eyes in fright, opened them again.

Athena let go of her mouth, without leaving any bite marks: "Scared you, I really shouldn't have expectations of you. What I wanted to hear before was comforting words, but now I'm being depressed by you like this." All day."

"Let's go, Kusanagi Godou will return to the island country, and then go to the area where [Snake] is. We also need to prepare to avoid being lost." Seeing that Luo Lihui was still standing there without moving, Athena reminded With a sound.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to."

"Just look at the atmosphere next time, forget it this time, next time..."

Turning her head and glanced coldly at Lolita, Athena turned and continued walking, while Lolita trotted after being shaken by fright.

The difference between Nuwa and her situation made Athena feel a little uncomfortable, and Luo Lihui, who caused all this, also realized her mistake.There are some jokes that shouldn't be made. I want to ease the heavy atmosphere, but it has a negative effect.
