No matter how you look at it, this fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl doesn't seem like Master's mother at all. Not to mention anything else, her hair color, appearance, and personality are completely different.

However, no one can say for sure about matters concerning gods, and the other party certainly showed no hostility, which left her somewhat confused.

"Pandora, the former Earth Mother Goddess."

Su Mo gave a brief introduction.

 (daai) "She is the creator of the Godslayers, the mother of the Godslayers in this world, so we do have a certain kinship in terms of spiritual status, but there is no need to worry too much about it."

This is why he never corrected the way he called Pandora.

Since the other party did not use an incorrect form of address, there is no reason to change it.

"That's so mean! What do you mean 'don't take it too seriously'? If you keep bullying your mother like this, I'll cry!"

The goddess with twin ponytails looked like she was about to cry, seemingly hurt by Su Mo's words.

Su Mo didn't care about the goddess's fake crying. Seeing that Artoria still had a half-understanding expression, he explained further.

“Spiritual kinship is actually quite common. For example, you, who have the blood of the Red Dragon, can in some ways be called the daughter of the British Red Dragon.”

"I understand!"

Artoria then realized what was happening.

So, she's not exactly a proper mother.

"While that makes sense, it's not that low!"

Pandora puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction. Although she wanted to refute it, she couldn't find any arguments to support her point.

For other god-slayers, Pandora at least had the grace of saving them from near death, but Su Mo was different from the others. He was always in full condition and had never experienced near death and rebirth, making it difficult to get closer to her.

"Pandora, has the ritual for the Ring of Usurpation been activated?"

After the explanation was made clear, Su Mo immediately changed the subject and asked about the important matter.

"Even if I ask you to call me 'Mom,' I don't think you'll listen. I really can't do anything with you... Yes, yes, it's already activated. All the powers of the two disobedient gods will be directly transferred to you!"

Pandora sighed, but still cooperated with Su Mo's questioning.

"Two disobedient gods?"

Upon hearing this, Su Mo paused slightly and glanced at Artoria.

"So, the rebellious god that Saber slew is also considered my achievement?"

"Yes!"

Pandora nodded.

"After all, this child is your servant, and in terms of judgment, she is similar to a subordinate god or a divine beast. She is your possession. No matter how she kills the disobedient god, in the end, it is considered that you personally did it."

"pity……"

Su Mo shook his head.

He was naturally aware of this rule, but Artoria was not a traditional spirit servant; she was summoned with her own physical body. He thought she would be an exception, but she was still classified as a subordinate.

But it doesn't matter, even if this method doesn't work, he has other ways to achieve his goal.

"It seems that for now, we can only use the blessing of the boy's incarnation as a substitute."

Until there is a breakthrough in the research on divinity, this method will be slightly less effective.

However, for Artoria, who is already at her maximum strength, this is still enough to allow her to advance her power further, reaching a point where she can completely rival ordinary non-servant gods.

061 Isn't this just replenishing mana?

While Su Mo was pondering how to transfer the power of the disobedient Arthur to Artoria to the greatest extent possible,

Pandora suddenly leaned over, poked his arm, and said with a smile.

"Let me guess what's troubling my dearest child right now?"

"Do you want your little knight to directly obtain King Arthur's complete divine status?"

It wasn't hard to guess Su Mo's thoughts, because Su Mo had never hidden his purpose from him.

But to bring this up at this time, and with such a smug and self-satisfied attitude—

"Do you have any idea?"

Su Mo asked, slightly surprised.

"Of course! Who do you think I am!"

Pandora immediately straightened her head and puffed out her chest, looking proud.

"I am the Earth Mother Goddess who has existed since the ancient times, possessing the wisdom of a top-tier Earth Mother Goddess. Although this matter is not easy, it is no match for the wisdom I have accumulated over thousands of years!"

After praising herself, she looked up at Su Mo and changed her tone.

"If one of my disobedient children is willing to call me 'Mom' and act cute towards me, I wouldn't mind telling him all of this knowledge!"

The goddess with purple twin ponytails blinked, her eyes full of implications.

"The wisdom of the supreme Earth Mother Goddess..."

Upon hearing this, Su Mo suddenly realized something.

In the world of Godslayer, the Earth Mother Goddess, as the most primitive deity born in the matriarchal clan era, possesses unparalleled control over the earth and magic. In this respect, the vast majority of Steel Heroes are no match for her.

The earth goddesses who have survived from the mythological era to the present day generally possess their own unique background and heritage.

For example, Athena in the original work possesses the Black Blade technique—also known as the "Sword of Beginning and End" or the "Ritual of Creation." Although it is not an authority, it has power that surpasses that of an authority, and can even rival the white star of the Last King, which is capable of instantly killing god-slayers.

In the original work, Circe also possesses the power of the "Secret Record of Dawn," which can bypass the Dark Sacrifice of Pandora.

Based on this, it can be inferred that Pandora, who was also an ancient earth goddess, should have possessed the same level of intelligence.

Whether deduced from common sense or from Pandora's undisguised emotional fluctuations, Su Mo could be certain that Pandora was not lying; she truly had a way to solve the problem.

However, he did not heed Pandora's advice, but instead asked a question in a low voice.

How can you prove you're not lying?

Faced with Su Mo's questioning, Pandora was not unhappy at all; in fact, her eyes lit up.

She had originally intended to make an exorbitant demand, leaving Su Mo plenty of room to negotiate, but Su Mo didn't even bother to explain before asking the most crucial question.

Doesn't this mean that the child might actually agree to my request?

"This is easy to prove! The principle isn't complicated either. Do you remember that in mythology, the husband and wife gods share authority?"

Seeing that Su Mo was about to take the bait, Pandora immediately began to explain with a beaming smile in order to gain his trust.

“I remember… I see, I understand now.”

Su Mo pondered for two seconds, then revealed a look of sudden realization.

"In the process of Steel Hero God replacing Earth Mother Goddess, in addition to directly seizing her power, he also turned her into his wife, daughter or subordinate, in order to continuously obtain Earth Mother Goddess's authority."

"In this mythological paradigm, during periods of intense struggle, the steel hero typically defeats monsters, marries a princess, and becomes king. For example, Perseus and Zeus are examples of heroes who acquire the authority and power originally held by goddesses."

"When the struggle subsides, it usually manifests as a renowned goddess and god marrying, and then the originally active goddess gradually retires, while the god takes his place. Hades, the god of the underworld, is this type."

"The reason why Hestia, Artemis, and Athena, the three virgin goddesses in Greek mythology, swore to remain chaste, besides their duty to protect virgins, was most likely to prevent their divine authority from being corrupted."

"Therefore, if you want to transfer your authority to your servant, you only need to apply this principle in reverse and share your authority with him through a covenant similar to that between husband and wife gods."

"And to achieve this, all that's needed is a slight adjustment to the spell of the Ring of Usurpation!"

With Su Mo's comprehension, he often only needs a single inspiration.

Once you understand the underlying principles, weaving up the techniques becomes a piece of cake.

"what?"

Miss Pandora was completely stunned.

When she heard Su Mo's first words, she felt no sense of crisis whatsoever, only pride.

As expected of my favorite child, she is indeed very smart.

When she heard the second part, she was slightly surprised and thought that she must not reveal any more information before the other party called her "Mom".

Next, her expression went from tense to panicked in less than a second.

Finally, she was completely dumbfounded when she heard that Su Mo had found the correct answer directly.

No, how did Su Mo deduce to this extent from just this one sentence?

She wasn't unaware of Su Mo's terrifying comprehension, so she hadn't said much beforehand, only offering a very simple hint.

Who would have thought that with just this one hint, Su Mo would understand the top-level framework of the technique's principles in just a few seconds?

That was the wisdom accumulated by the Earth Mother Goddess over thousands of years, yet Su Mo figured it out in just a few seconds?

Seeing that Su Mo had abandoned her and was about to try to rewrite the spell of the Ring of Usurpation, Pandora panicked.

She grabbed Su Mo's arm and said with tears in her eyes.

"No, no! This is completely different from what we agreed on. You were supposed to call me 'Mom' and act all cute and affectionate with me!"

Faced with this goddess's delusional fantasies, Su Mo calmly countered with a question.

Did I grant your request?

"No."

"Did you directly transmit the wisdom of the Earth Mother Goddess to me?"

"……nor."

"Then what else do you say?"

"..."
