Simultaneous travel: City, infinite evolution

"Hmph!" Chen Hong snorted coldly, and with a wave of his hand, the Gorgon Stone flew from Wanli Valley Yuri's hand.

Hold it in your hand and play with this stone.

Just as Chen Hong was about to punish this audacious witch...

Suddenly sensing a dark aura, I looked up at the sky.

Without a sound, a little silver-haired girl suddenly appeared in Chen Hong's field of vision.

The silver-haired little girl's eyes turned to the Gorgon Stone in Chen Hong's hand.

"Finally found it, my snake."

The silver-haired little girl then looked at Chen Hong, her expression calm.

“Son of fools, give up me, serpent, and you will be spared a pointless battle.”

"Otherwise, anyone who takes a snake from my side is my enemy."

Chen Hong tossed the Gorgon Stone aside and said indifferently, "The value of this broken stone lies in its ability to attract gods."

Since you're here, it's not very useful anymore.

I can give it to you, but are you sure you're sure about this stone?
It houses the divine essence of another incarnation of yours, and is filled with the resentment of the Earth Mother Goddess towards the Steel Hero God over the past millennia.

The intensity of this resentment is astounding. If you merge with it, can you still preserve your consciousness and divine status from being corrupted?

"Don't worry about it, you fool's son."

My obsession with breaking away from mythology and being reduced to a disobedient god lies in merging with the serpent and restoring my complete form.

You cannot stop me.

The little girl was very determined and wouldn't listen to any advice.

"Sigh..." Chen Hong sighed, "Humans and gods alike are so stubborn. They won't give up until they reach the Yellow River, and they won't turn back until they hit a brick wall."

Chen Hong flipped his hand and put away the Gorgon Stone.

The little girl immediately became anxious, shouting, "Give it back to me! Give it back to me!"

In a flash, she appeared in front of Chen Hong, her little hands groping around.

"Where did you put my snake? Take it out now, take it out!"

Chen Hong suppressed the little girl with a palm strike, pressing it onto her head.

The little girl became even more anxious, her short legs hopping around everywhere, her little hands wielding a chaotic hammering technique, her little hammer pounding against her heart.

But because of his short arms and legs, even when he danced like a little windmill, he couldn't hit Chen Hong.

In a fit of rage, it bit Chen Hong's iron hand, almost breaking its little baby tooth.

Unable to subdue Chen Hong, the little girl directly chanted a spell:
"Issued in the true name of Athena."

Let darkness appear, dispel the sun's grace, and extinguish the fire of Prometheus.

A sky full of stars and a dark wind, here we recreate an ancient night.

Suddenly, the sky turned from day to night, and the entire earth was shrouded in darkness, so dark that one could not see their own hand in front of their face.

Darkness renders light and fire ineffective, and everything associated with them ceases to function.

Not only the lights, but also the vehicle engines stopped running, and appliances such as gas, gasoline, or oil lamps could not be used.

The entire city was plunged into darkness by a power outage and the fire was extinguished.

Even powers related to light and fire cannot be used.

This is the power of the goddess of darkness in the underworld, whose resentment and aversion to the sunlight in the sky have a long history.

Countless eyes suddenly opened, filling the sky and creating an eerie scene.

Then his eyes moved toward Chen Hong.

Eagle beaks pecked at Chen Hong, producing clanging sparks of steel.

It turns out that these eyes are the eyes of owls.

The owls flapped their wings and attacked Chen Hong.

These owls are all Athena's servants and familiars, obeying the call of the dark mother goddess.

Under the corrosive influence of Athena's underworld death power, the owls even pecked at Chen Hong's eyes, but to no avail. Chen Hong's eyes, like his body of steel, had no weaknesses, and the death power could not corrupt him in the slightest.

That merciless iron hand pressed down on Athena's small head, as firmly as a five-fingered mountain, without the slightest tremor.

Seeing that she couldn't do anything to Chen Hong, the little Athena loli became completely desperate and quickly used the strongest incantation she could use in this state.

She stared at Chen Hong with her big, watery eyes, looking pitiful as if she was about to cry from being bullied.

Chen Hong felt a little embarrassed by her gaze, so he withdrew his ruthless iron hand.

Upon seeing this, the little Athena immediately flashed into Chen Hong's arms.

Then she pouted her little lips and kissed him.

Gulu, Gulu.

A dark, deathly aura descended.

Athena's Soul Chant:

“Your breath and your life will be taken from you by me, and you will walk alone into the dark underground and the desolate wilderness of the cold underworld.”

I am the one who summons winter, who controls life and death, the cold ruler of the underworld, and the queen who seizes by trickery and plunder.

"My command is: Chen Hong, become a dead king, and turn into corpses!"

The serpent of death from the underworld coils around the steel pillar.

The fierce clashes sowed the seeds of death and blew away the warmth of life.

After a long while, the small snake separated, and glistening drops could be faintly seen falling.

Athena, clinging to Chen Hong, finally revealed a smug smile, a smile of triumph and triumph over her scheme.

"Hmph! You little god-slayer, you've finally grasped the wisdom of Athena, haven't you?"

"I deliberately pretended to be harmless, cute, and pitiful to shake your resolve."

Then, with another successful sneak attack, I will directly cast the Word of Death within your body.

Even with the strongest magic resistance, you can't defend against a deadly attack from within.

Seeing Athena's smug and triumphant expression, Chen Hong couldn't help but smile.

Upon seeing this smile, Athena's smile gradually froze and disappeared.

"why are you laughing?"

"I laugh at you for calling yourself the goddess of wisdom, but you don't know that true wisdom is never about complicated power struggles and calculations."

It's just a simple, direct physical attack!

"What!" Athena's eyes widened, finally realizing something was wrong. "You've been hit by my Death Word, why aren't you down yet?"

"Haha, of course..."

I'm so hot!

Chen Hong looked up at the dark sky and uttered a single word:
"Disperse!"

In an instant, as if the sky had heard the supreme and absolute command of a monarch, a muffled thunderclap erupted.

The darkness receded like the tide, revealing the once bright sky.

"This...this is the power of the heavenly god-king?"

Athena looked at Chen Hong with shock and a hint of disgust:

"Do you possess celestial powers similar to Zeus'?"

Chen Hong nodded. "This is the [King of the Sky] power I obtained after killing the God King Mercator."

Athena's expression softened slightly: "You're quite good for being able to kill those despicable and damned Steel Hero Gods, and even the God King. You truly deserve to be the child of the Earth Mother Goddess."

"Therefore, the Earth Mother Goddess and the Godslayer should not have killed each other in the first place."

Hey Athena, would you like to come and serve me?
"If you're willing to pledge your allegiance to me, I'll let you absorb the snake and regain your true form."

"Don't even think about it!" Athena said indignantly. "The Earth Mother will never be a slave!" (End of Chapter)
