God King Mekal was clearly using the power of his great authority.
Facing hundreds of bolts of lightning that shot out from all directions, Veleslana showed no sign of fear.
Instead, his eyes were filled with fervent battle intent.
“Hahaha, good!”
He laughed loudly.
It was excitement.
It was exhilaration.
It was a longing for battle.
“This is the power a God King should show to me.”
“In that case, I shall respond with a sublime battle!”
Veleslana also invoked the words of power with a god’s declaration.
“For victory, come quickly before me!
“Undying sun, grant me a shining steed!
“Oh, spirit horse with swift hooves, bring forth the halo of your master!”
Accompanied by the declaration, the wheel behind Veleslana lit up with a brilliant light, resembling a horse’s pattern.
The power of a white horse incarnate.
In the atmosphere of a star, sometimes explosions known as solar flares occur.
A white flame, equivalent to a solar flare, shot out from the eastern sky.
As if it were a shout that could pierce the heavens, Veleslana’s voice echoed across the sky.
The light broke through the darkness of the overcast clouds, descending upon the land veiled by island clouds.
A second sun gradually rose!
“Neigh~~~!”
The neighing of a horse shook the earth as a sun rose from the east.
A divine white horse quietly appeared.
Then—the sun fell!
From the turbulent sky, a white horse carrying a monstrous golden flame descended from the heavens, streaking across the void.
Wherever the steed passed, space trembled.
Even the temperature of the air suddenly soared upwards.
The white horse, like a streak of fire, descended, its target being all the lightning.
The sun-bearing white horse, using the sun’s flames to fight against the storm’s lightning!
Boom!
An explosive impact occurred.
Mekal regained his form, his expression not looking good.
His lightning was simply no match for the sun’s flames.
Veleslana looked invigorated.
“Oh, sun steed, bring me victory!”
The power of the white horse continued to shine.
The white horse, entirely ablaze with colored flames, trod on the void, rushing towards Mekal at an extremely high speed.
In the blink of an eye, it closed the distance between them.
And as it ran, the high temperature from the sun directly evaporated the surrounding rain.
“Hoo…so hot…”
Shiyu Kasumigaoka gasped for breath.
Glistening sweat trickled down her face.
With the appearance of the white horse.
The temperature of the world increased sharply, a temperature that ordinary people like Shiyu could not bear.
“Grab my hand.”
Rei Qing offered his right hand, free from holding the Gorgon Stone, to Shiyu.
She subconsciously grabbed it.
Instantly, a calm that soothed the mind and body expelled the heat.
“Rei Qing, there are many ways for you to cool her down, like magic or something, there is absolutely no need to hold hands like this,”
Eiri saw their intertwined hands, her gaze deep and dark.
“Hehe.”
Rei Qing smiled without a word.
If he could take advantage, why go the extra mile?
“…”
Shiyu also immediately realized what this behavior meant.
Yet, despite being taken advantage of, she felt no anger, instead, a faint joy welled up.
However, she did not outwardly show this joy.
She stole glances at Rei Qing’s profile.
Completely unaware that Eiri’s little fangs were grinding!
Jealous!
Extremely jealous!
This old fox Shiyu’s gaze was very suspicious, she was definitely fantasizing about seducing my man!
Eiri, who had evolved from a loser into the heroine, keenly sensed the scent of a little floozy.
Just as she wanted to interrupt Shiyu’s fantasy,
“Can you give it back to me?”
A voice appeared.
Athena had arrived!
Rei Qing’s eyes lit up slightly.
He had already confirmed that the person was Athena with a single glance.
Erika also quickly reacted.
“Rei Qing-san, she is!”
“An uncompliant god, Athena.”
Athena’s identity was revealed by Rei Qing.
“Oh?”
The eyes of Athena in her young girl form, which were originally fixed on the Gorgon Stone in his hand, moved to Rei Qing.
It was a look of curiosity.
“Human boy, have you seen me?”
“In a way.”
The ambiguous answer again piqued Athena’s interest.
“Since you know I’m Athena, you should know that I am an uncompliant god, as scary as those two over there, why can’t I see any fear on your face?”
“I am watching two uncompliant gods fight, have you seen any fear on my face?”
Instead of answering, Rei Qing countered with a question.
“Hmm, it seems not.”
Athena stared into Rei Qing’s eyes.
“Deep and calm eyes, yet with a sense of amusement, you just see their battle as an interesting drama.”
As expected of the goddess of wisdom.
With just one look, she could see that Rei Qing held an attitude of amusement.
No matter how terrifying the god of war Veleslana and the god king Mekal were, in his eyes they were just toys to be played with.
The same was true for the Athena before him.
Being freely looked down upon and assessed.
Athena did not show any anger.
“Human, could you return the Gorgon Stone in your hands to me? It is something that belongs to me.”
“Uncompliant god Athena, you want it in order to regain your power, right?”
Erika’s eyes sharpened.
“The trinity of gods composed of Athena, Medusa, and Metis.”
“That was a deity worshipped in the Mediterranean region, whose prototype was the goddess Athena from North Africa.”
“When you retrieve the Gorgon Stone, you will be taking back Medusa’s share, and then you will return to the trinity god status!”
After recounting what she knew about Athena, Erika said sternly, “So we won’t return it to you!”
Her idea was simple.
Uncompliant gods were disasters, dangers, enemies, and they must be destroyed!
To allow the other party to return to the more powerful trinity god status would be to strengthen the enemy’s power.
She would never do such a stupid thing.
However.
A graceful arc suddenly flashed before her eyes.
“Here you go.”
*Clatter.*
Athena reached out and caught the item thrown to her.
It was…the Gorgon Stone!
“???”
Erika opened her mouth wide and turned her head, stunned.
Rei Qing smiled.
“This belongs to someone else, so it’s right to give it back to her, and that’s the right thing to do.”
