Civilization Guardian Front

"I'd be very, very upset if you accidentally made them more important than me for a moment, or even violated my fearful request, understand?"

"..." The cold sweat on his forehead slid down Chios' cheeks.

Unable to catch a glimpse of the goddess' expression at this moment, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Chios tried his best to remain calm, and his voice did not tremble:

"Yes, I understand."

"Very well, I won't argue with you this time."

Satisfied with Chios' answer, Athena finally stopped pressing.

chirp...

Kissing the corner of the young man's mouth in a comforting manner and backing away.

The movement is very natural, without the slightest tweaking.

(Is this the slack brought by age...)

Chios thought.

"Are you thinking something rude? Uh heh heh..."

Seeing the embarrassment on the young man's face, the goddess couldn't help chuckling.

"Don't be nervous, I just want to try to say this once. I'm not as boring as some women who care about age even though they've lived forever."

Chios felt that these words seemed to mean something.

It's an illusion...

The dangerous throbbing that gripped his heart made him decide to ignore it.

! ! !

There was a sharp pain in the right eye.

Chios put his hand on the eye frame, and changed the subject according to the situation:

"Your Highness, what is the current state of my right eye and ghost energy?"

"Forcibly using a powerful force that does not match your current "vessel" will cause damage to the source, and the curse that inhabits your body will become unstable.Simply put, it's like a dangerous gas leaking out of a steel cylinder, but with a slightly different nature..."

Caressing the line between the jaw and neck, passing through the throat and collarbone, the tip of the index finger that came to the young man's chest poked his heart gently.

Provoking the same movement, but the pain in the eyes dissipated inconceivably.

Seeing that Chios' complexion improved, Athena went on to explain:

"As the fusion product of the Earth Fire Supreme Treasure, the huge power fragments are inherently unstable, and the piece you hold is even more polluted by the curse. In the past, your original source could absorb all negative effects like a black hole. Now, No matter how much this force loves you, it will gradually eat away at your body and mind."

"In order to prevent you from being polluted and transformed into a monster, I imprisoned it in your origin. This seal will not be released until you restore the origin."

"Ok. "

Chios calmly expressed his understanding.

It is not difficult to accept that ghost energy cannot be used temporarily for a period of time in the future.

He tends to use layout and social skills to achieve his goals without bloodshed, so he doesn't have many opportunities to use ghost energy.

It's a pity to lose a hole card for playing explosively, but as long as this variable is included in the calculation and planning, it will not have much impact on the future execution of tasks.

"So, what about the eye of catastrophe?"

"..."

"It's much more complicated than the fragments of the giant force, but it's not necessarily a bad thing."

After pondering for a moment, Athena finally spoke.

"[Edict of Dawn] The price of gathering the power of faith is to bear the established destiny of a world, or—"original sin""

"Have the eyes to see all the possibilities of the future, and after the power is liberated, they can even actively grasp the future that the holder wants. After leaving the source world, they lose the most powerful power, and at the same time, they no longer absorb the soul of the holder. Even so, it is always an artifact bound to the two concepts of "cause and effect" and "fate", and will naturally attract each other with "original sin". "

Hearing this, Chios' pupils shrank.

"What do you mean by this sentence, shouldn't it be..."

"That's right, after absorbing part of the "Original Sin"..."

Athena nodded slightly.

"The ability of the eye of robbery has been awakened."

Chapter 750 Two? Punishment

"On the premise of not sacrificing the soul, the method of using the advanced ability of the Eye of Calamity will be told after you have fully absorbed the memory it bestows and returned to the Eternal City."

Stopping the explanation, Athena stood up and left the bed with her long purple hair swaying.

"It's almost time for me to go back. As a legion commander who has to take care of two-line operations, I can't leave the station for too long."

He raised his hand and grasped falsely.

hum...

The ground then produced a burst of ripples.

The golden spear that pierced through the strata and pierced into the source of the world like a ship's anchor spanned thousands of kilometers in the blink of an eye, and appeared in the hands of the goddess.

"You don't have to rush back to the Legion to report your orders. Take advantage of the last time you are staying and spend a leisurely vacation."

"Follow the imperial order."

Chios nodded.

It has already lost the function of actively interfering with cause and effect, leaving behind the Eye of Calamity, which absorbs the memory and future vision of the previous generations of holders. In the process of the power of fate "Original Sin" invading the source, it appeared because of its high degree of relativity in concepts. The phenomenon of absorption and fusion unexpectedly regained part of its power.

After all, only part of it was retrieved, not completely recovered, so Chios didn't have to worry about this magic tool swallowing his soul, which is a kind of luck...

The pain felt in the right eye now is a reflection of the Eye of Tribulation being strengthening the soul connection with the holder.

Since the birth of human civilization, the memories of previous holders who have achieved peak achievements in different fields such as swordsmanship, bowmanship, marksmanship, fighting, magic and even lost skills that have been passed down for thousands of years are like the rapids of a dam at this moment. , Pentium injected into the mind.

After waking up, the knowledge and experience that once needed to be activated by the source force to emerge temporarily have been integrated into my flesh and blood.

As if reading a library containing all the documents of the past and the present in an instant, the consciousness of being seriously overdrawn focused and uttered a mournful cry, which led to the phantom pain right now.

According to the immediate supervisor, it will take at least a month until the body and mind digest this huge memory and achieve the true unity of "mind, technique, and body".

During this period, the side effects of soul link deepening will continue to occur.

Although this pain will not paralyze the action, it will definitely have an impact on high-intensity battles with a low fault tolerance rate.

In other words, about half of the remaining time Chios stays in the mission world has to be spent on quiet recuperation...

In this regard, he readily accepted.

After this incident, if the deflection of fate is not unexpected, it will definitely break through the scope of the world's self-correction, and the original unfinished main task will also be completed.

The remaining survival days requirement is actually to give the executor an extra vacation.

If you return to the legion station early, not only will there be no rewards, but the countdown to the next mission dispatch will begin immediately.Therefore, unless there is a crisis that has to be evacuated, the executor will generally stay as long as possible until the time specified by the task.

Of course Chios didn't have to feel bad about the vacation.

"correct..."

Before leaving, Athena who seemed to be remembering something suddenly turned her head.

"Your sword, made of metal lovers, is probably in a dying state now because it has endured too much faith?"

"Yes."

"Give it to me. Going back just happens to help you join the [Master] Royle's work schedule. Then, you don't need the soul stone that is full of souls, so you can directly exchange it for 1000 meritorious service." , can it be used as a discount for the repair cost?"

Chios was taken aback.

1000 meritorious service?

His accumulated feats of hard work in this mission world can't reach this number.

Are the souls of the three gods so valuable...

Thinking of another set of soul-binding stones and isolation stones stored in the heraldry space, Chios took a deep breath, and then suppressed the greedy thoughts that had arisen rapidly.

He took out the black long sword full of cracks in the cross section, and handed it to Athena together with the crimson gem that shone with soul light.

I owe more and more...

It's not that he didn't realize this, nor did he not understand the meaning of human feelings as shackles.

However, Chios really needs all the help that can speed up his climb.

There is a huge disparity in strength and status between him and his immediate superior.

Standing in the other side's position is just a trivial matter, if you are turned down by your side out of boring self-esteem, it will cause embarrassment instead.

In the same way, thanking you too solemnly will also appear alienated and humble.

Therefore, Chios can only use the simplest vocabulary to express:

"thanks."

"You kid is really complicated..."

Seeing what Chios was thinking, Athena put her fingers against the young man's forehead, gently pushed forward, and pushed him back on the bed.

"Instead of thinking about these things, it's better to worry about how to explain our relationship to other people."

Hearing this, Chios had a bad premonition in his mind.

"Excuse me, how did you get on the stage?"

"Go straight in, pull Hestia away from you who is about to use divine power, and then order everyone to wait in the main building, until I remove the divine power, they are not allowed to leave without permission, otherwise I will be nailed to the Tower of Babel Air-dried for 1000 years."

Chios couldn't help but feel ashamed to hear Athena appearing majestically in an understatement, and telling the story of Hestia, Loki, Freya... and other main gods and their families being driven out of the room as soon as she appeared.

After waking up, looking inside and outside the glass house, there were no other figures. Chios thought that Athena had used consciousness interference similar to recruiting him back then, but he didn't expect the answer to be so simple and rude.

He believes that as long as the immediate superior has the will, he can absolutely avoid being observed by anyone.

"You are deliberately making things difficult for me, Your Highness."

"It's just a little bit of revenge for making me unhappy, I hope you can learn some lessons..."

The goddess said with a smile, and the golden spear in her hand swiped across the space.

boom!

The barrier that isolated the world was split, and there was a sound like shattering glass.

"If there is another time, I will arrange several unchallenging daily task worlds for you in a row, as a disguised ground punishment."

"I know I'm wrong, please raise your hand..."

The young man said earnestly.

For an ambitious person like him, it is undoubtedly a kind of torture to waste time on matters with low return on investment for a long time.

hehe~

"It depends on your future performance."

The goddess who was in a terrible mood when she came, and Chios, whose eyes were a little stiff, withdrew his face, and walked into the gap with a smile on his mouth.

The gate of the world then closed.

Only the faint fragrance of her hair lingers in the room...

(Sure enough, one of the major problems with getting along with older women is that the dominance is easily taken away.)

Chios thought helplessly.

pedal pedal...

blow!blow!blow!

A few seconds after the immediate superior left, the footsteps of several people and the sound of breaking wind came from the direction of the main building.

bump!

Jian Ji, the fastest runner, pushed open the glass door.
