Chapter 993: Chapter 45: What Is Their Relationship?

Divine Power like a prison!

Despair—

Is the only emotion in the heart besides fear.

"How... how could this be..."

Amilia’s body trembled uncontrollably, every cell shivering from the cold despair of looming death. In her Hero state, she wouldn’t be so fragile, but now she was only slightly more special than an ordinary person.

"A... god?"

Erica was completely stunned, murmuring subconsciously, every pore of her body warning her as if about to explode.

She was afraid.

This proud and elegant beauty, so confident in her abilities, was afraid! Her voice trembled, and if one could see, they would even notice a slight timid expression on her lovely face.

Even her mind was blank, as if it had stopped functioning.

Originally, she thought even if the opponent was difficult, they must be using some high-level Holy Relics, borrowing Divine Power to gain an advantage. But to her shock, the opponent revealed themselves, clearly tearing away their disguise and revealing the true face of the Defiant Gods.

The impact was enormous, facing this suffocating Divine Power head-on, she felt as if her very soul consciousness might shatter away, and she would scatter like dust.

"It’s still missing some pieces. Long ago, I lost most of my divine nature... but now, it’s time to reclaim them."

Athena’s voice rose softly.

"In the past, I was the Mother Earth who nurtures all things! In the past, I was the ruler of the dark Netherworld! In the past, I was the Queen of Wisdom, who comprehends the heavens!"

"Bear witness to this, pass down the tale of my awakening and return to the world as this threefold queen to your descendants!"

Her words seemed like a chant, like praise.

With silver hair and black eyes, appearing as a young girl, the force and unmasked Divine aura emitted from her slender body at this moment narrated one undeniable fact.

So terrifying...

So dreadful...

Strictly speaking, this was Erica’s first true confrontation with a god, rendering her limbs stiff.

For the first time in her life, she understood the meaning of the term "Defiant Gods," realizing how laughable her past pride and confidence were.

"Do you understand now? Even knowing a bit of Demon Technique is far from matching our Power, the path of man and god will never intersect..."

Athena spoke as she stepped forward, extending her small palm.

"Come, hand him over to me!"

Darkness flowed like something tangible, a sacred aura spread, an invisible pressure with darkness more profound than darkness itself, colder than cold, causing both girls to struggle for breath, their consciousness ceasing to think, wanting involuntarily to kneel.

"N-no way!!"

Amilia reacted first; she, in the end, had more experience, biting her tongue hard, the pain clearing her mind, as she desperately tried to pull the young man away.

"Oh? Interesting, I thought you were just an ordinary person, but your heart is stronger than expected..."

Athena couldn’t help but narrow her eyes slightly, feeling the warrior part of her subtly awaken, intrigued by this seemingly ordinary, unarmed young girl with rose-colored hair. Yet she was still incomplete; even with her nature liberated, she was still missing pieces.

Many of her Authority and Divinity were taken, unable to be reclaimed.

Thus she could not use her powers to acquire more corresponding information.

Otherwise, she might have, like War God Velaslana, noticed the warrior traits bestowed upon Miss Brave, realizing she was possibly the King of the End.

"But what’s the point? Look at your comrade; even with power, she knows to assess the situation. What can you, powerless, do now? Remember, retreat is not shameful at this moment; rather, it’s the choice of the wise, only fools resist gods..."

Athena spoke calmly.

Erica, hearing this, looked very distressed, only feeling humiliation, powerlessness, and anger toward herself, all these intense emotions rushing through her... but ultimately, she did not speak, nor did her eyes show any sign of defiance.

Her face only reflected clear despair, turning pale and powerless.

"I am easy to capture; a single move and I am won... no need for this fighting and killing, I’ll go with you."

Gu Mo sighed deeply and said. Speaking of which, Miss Cui Lian seems unreliable, having not come to the rescue... but probably because the battle on that side had opponents worth a real match, as both battlefields started simultaneously.

Especially for a pure warrior, the battlefield with gods, Divine Beasts, and Demons in endless conflict was far more appealing.
