I rely on myself

Chapter 467: New 'Steel' or 'God'

"........."

When Kusanagi Godou heard that Luke came to say goodbye, he felt somewhat reluctant.

After all, Kusanagi Godou still had a good impression of Luke, the cheerful and free-spirited uncle. He even wanted to have a good talk with him later. But the result was such a follow-up, which made him feel a little regretful.

However, although he was reluctant, Kusanagi Godou knew that he had no reason to let the other party stay. At the same time, if you really want to think about it, they haven't known each other for very long. At most, they are just strangers who are somewhat familiar with each other. In this case, there is naturally no reason for the other party to accommodate him and stay.

So Kusanagi Godou finally replied: "Is that so? But there is nothing we can do about it. After all, Uncle Luke, the reason you left so soon must be because you have something to do. So I won't say much to keep you. Anyway, see you next time."

"Ah, there should be a chance. See you later."

After saying goodbye, Luke turned and left without any hesitation. Ian and Geno behind him also said goodbye.

Iin's movements seemed quite normal, while Geno was all smiles, even raising his hand above his head with his index and middle fingers together, a somewhat exaggerated farewell gesture.

Then the two of them followed Luke and left.

In response, Kusanagi Godou and Liliana just watched quietly, and only looked away after they had walked a considerable distance away.

"Is this really good?"

At this time, Liliana suddenly spoke up with a very serious expression: "There are too many secrets in this group of people. Although they did come here because of our association's commission, the power they displayed is too strong. Not to mention ordinary mercenary groups, even large magic associations like us may not be able to match them in terms of combat power. It is really hard to imagine that such a group is just mercenaries.

Moreover, the other party's huge knight statue, the relationship with Lady Lianna, and whether the other party is the king, etc., are so many mysteries that people can't help but doubt it. To be honest, it is better to investigate it. What do you think?"

Although Liliana obviously expressed great doubts about Luke and others, and even wanted to investigate, she ultimately left the decision on these actions to Kusanagi Godou.

After all, as a knight, Liliana is undoubtedly qualified in terms of loyalty and will never make decisions for the people she is loyal to without authorization.

Kusanagi Godou's answer to this is——————

"No matter what, Uncle Luke and the others have helped us a lot. It doesn't feel good to turn around and investigate them. Besides, we will all be returning to Japan soon. Even if something really happens, it probably has nothing to do with us, so let's not do it."

Kusanagi Godou's words were full of negativity. It was obvious that he stayed away from such things that might cause more trouble and affect his peaceful daily life, and showed an extremely negative attitude.

It was as if the sky was falling, but there was a tall man to hold it up, and he had no intention of intervening at all.

Liliana was helpless about this, but there was nothing she could do. After all, it was the decision of the person she was loyal to, and as a knight she could only obey.

When persuasion failed, Liliana had no choice but to give up.

In this way, Luke, Kusanagi Godou and others returned to their homes, and this scene was also seen by a goddess who had been watching secretly. "...It is really amazing. Even I have to admire the wisdom of mankind. Since they can create a new force of steel with their own strength and wisdom without borrowing the power of any mythology, it is amazing."

These words of praise came from the goddess Athena.

After all, there is no doubt that Kusanagi Godou played a role in being involved in the turmoil in Naples. In addition, the enemy was Perseus, who once killed one of her identities, Medusa, and could be said to be her nemesis.

So naturally, Athena was very concerned about this battle.

Even when Kusanagi Godou was restrained by the power of Perseus's other identity, he secretly told him his hidden identity.

Athena was already watching as the battle tonight began.

When Athena saw Kusanagi Godou successfully cut off Perseus' sun with the Sword of Words, and when he and the enemy were both severely damaged in the subsequent battle, she couldn't help but think about whether to help. But before she could make a decision, the subsequent developments made her confused.

A warrior who was a veteran but whose strength was at most at the level of a divine beast suddenly broke into the battle, showing amazing martial arts, and even reached a stalemate with Perseus for a while.

But Athena knew very well that this was only temporary, and the result was indeed so. Perseus soon became serious and defeated the warrior in no time. If he had not reacted quickly enough, he would have lost his life. The outcome was already very obvious.

Just when Athena thought that the next thing to do was to ask the warrior to withdraw voluntarily and return the battle to Kusanagi Godou, the warrior directly summoned a huge statue of a knight.

Although this knight statue looked like an exceptionally gorgeous work of art, even Perseus could see through it, let alone Athena, who was the god of wisdom and could even see more from it.

There is no doubt that the 'steel' that constitutes the knight statue does not contain any mythological elements.

It's like there are still many artifacts and magic books circulating in the world today. These things have been damaged before, but they can be repaired with just a little effort. It's not because the repairer has good skills, but because he added elements of mythology during the repair process to gain support, which is why they can be repaired so easily.

And those artifacts and magic books naturally inherited the relationships in the myths, that is, as recorded in the myths, what kind of existence they can restrain, or what kind of existence they can be restrained by.

The steel power in the knight statue is different. Although it also has some reference, it refers to the formation principle of all "steel".

Apart from that, it has no connection with any mythology, thus maintaining the purity of the power of steel.

If you really want to think about it, this technology, or ability, can be said to have created a brand new god.

A spirit that does not rely on myths or those passed down from ancient times, but creates a brand new steel spirit from scratch entirely through its own strength and wisdom!!!

Athena was undoubtedly very curious about such an amazing, no! To be more precise, it should be an ability that moved even the gods.
