Chapter 974 - 29: A Crowd-Pleasing Scene

Chapter 974: Chapter 29: A Crowd-Pleasing Scene

If Athena had really "captured" him—

He would want to see what the situation with the Goddess of Wisdom is really like, and what direction the subsequent world line will take.

Gu Mo didn’t do anything to interfere; he played his role well. As for whether the hero line had the advantage or the goddess line had a breakthrough... emmmmm, he had a corresponding script for both, created not so long ago.

Speaking of which, this feeling is quite interesting, like he is some important plot NPC...

Whether it’s the protagonist or the villain, both might receive entirely different assistance from him, propelling the whole world toward a completely different future.

"It hurts..."

Amilia rubbed her eyes and stood up with difficulty. The stark contrast in light made her tears flow uncontrollably, and she felt a bit dizzy.

"You..."

The blonde-haired, red-dressed Erica also recovered. She glanced around quickly, realizing that she and the others had indeed left the Dark Night Domain and returned to this world. She breathed a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, they ran away decisively; any longer delay, and they might not have made it out.

However, her reaction was swift, immediately turning her head and staring at someone with a very sharp look.

If at the start she didn’t grasp the situation, now she should understand that it seemed that woman was likely coming for this guy?!

"..."

"..."

Under Erica’s suspicious and sharp gaze, Gu Mo blinked, knowing what the Deep Red Demon suspected.

Of course, Athena was coming for him.

From the viewpoint of a Godslayer, Gu Mo did indeed meet the definition and could be classified as such because he possessed complete divinity, the full divinity of Greek mythology, encompassing the Authorities of various Titan Gods and Olympian Gods.

The integration of this authority naturally wasn’t something that appeared out of nowhere—

It was a trophy he had seized.

Just as in the phenomenon within the Dungeon World, when Godslayers defeat gods, they can usurp that supreme Divine Power... So through system kill rewards, seizing the trophy’s outcome is fundamentally similar to the actions and results of Godslayers.

At least according to Gu Mo himself.

In a sense, he is indeed a Godslayer, but not limited to seizing powers from gods alone; there are other creatures too—

For example, demons, angels, or other enemies, he actually has the opportunity to gain their power by defeating them... It could be said that this is how he has traveled along the way.

Just by defeating enemies, he can naturally and rapidly grow strong...

Defeating more powerful enemies, the growth rate is as efficient as a rocket...

—A true description of the classic Fourth Catastrophe leveling logic... In this aspect, Gu Mo is the undisputed ancestor of Godslayers.

That’s how it is, with Zeus integrating the functions of Greek gods, transferring all Authorities from other mechanical gods to themselves, and when He stepped toward demise, the function of gathered gods was naturally placed within the drop rewards by system rules.

Thus, all Divine Functions of Greek gods, after continuous transfer, naturally gathered upon Gu Mo himself.

All divinities are within him, his divine expression fully encompasses the entire Greek mythology...

He is both a Titan God and an Olympian God, both Zeus and Ares, he can also be Apollo, even Athena... He’s still Gu Mo, a being of his own, yet simultaneously, everything about Greek mythology exists within him.

—Truly a monster amalgamating complete divinity.

So Athena probably misunderstood something... However, the goddess can only sense the surface part and cannot possibly see through his true nature.

"Cough, cough, shall we leave here now?"

Seeing the crowd growing larger, Gu Mo lightly raised his fist to his mouth, coughed, and spoke to Erica, who was staring sharply at him.

"Hey! Don’t play dumb with me!" The forehead of the blonde-haired, red-dressed girl pulsed vehemently; she was glaring at him so obviously, did he not understand her meaning at all? "Don’t you have anything to explain to me?"

"What do you mean?"

"Who was that woman just now?!" Erica bit her teeth in anger.

The crowd let out a gasp and began whispering; they initially felt something was off, and now upon hearing such words, they became interested, with the flames of gossip in their eyes burning brightly, as if witnessing the pleasant scene of catching an affair in the street!

Just this setup... Is it a bit strange?

A ridiculously beautiful blonde girl, angrily questioning a scumbag. Beside her stood a girl with wine-red hair, eyes red, seemingly having just cried...

There was a moment where the eyes of the onlooking crowd became complicated, as if this was quite a dramatic scene.

"How should I know who she is, don’t know her at all..."

Gu Mo shook his head, decisively denying it.

He indeed knew Athena, but truly didn’t count as mutual acquaintance, so it wasn’t considered a lie.

"Really nothing to do with you?" Perhaps because the youth replied too straightforwardly, confidently, Erica was hesitant, "You really... Didn’t know anyone else before? I mean, besides me and her, you really don’t know anyone else?"

She wanted to determine if this person was truly ordinary—

With so many people around, it’s hard to ask directly, so she had to change the way of questioning.

"Besides you and Miss Emi, I truly don’t know anyone else." Gu Mo nodded in affirmation.

"Ah... Excuse me, make way!"

At this moment, a frail, chestnut-haired girl weakly approached, anxiously and pale-faced, pushing through the crowd and entering the area. The next moment, her pupils froze, as she saw a figure appearing in her Spiritual Vision moments ago!

—A figure extremely crucial to the future world!

—Actually appearing right before her eyes?!

"Found you...!"

Because just moments ago, her Spiritual Vision was like inspiration from Heaven, having exhausted her Spiritual Power and energy, leaving her extremely weak, she reached trembling toward him, before slowly collapsing, seemingly unable to hold on any longer.

"..."

"..."

A strange gust whipped through the street, swirling fallen leaves spinning at its edges.

In the uncanny silence, the crowd’s faces displayed disdainful expressions.
