As agreed, the silver-haired goddess made this call so that her lord could pinpoint the coordinates of this place.
Since she was willing to accept defeat, and Su Mo's goal was exactly what she had always wanted, Athena naturally had no reason to back out.
Through the master-servant contract, she quickly contacted Su Mo and helped him pinpoint the exact location of the Divine Realm.
However, before she could send out her coordinates, a thunderous voice suddenly rang out from behind her.
"My daughter Athena! Whom are you calling?"
Upon hearing this incredibly majestic voice, Athena's heart sank, and she immediately turned around.
Descending from the sky behind her was Zeus, the king of the gods, his body wreathed in lightning.
The god-king in this myth, whose image is not very good, is by no means as lustful as portrayed in the myth. On the contrary, after usurping Metis's wisdom, he not only secured his position as god-king, but also defied the prophecy given by the god of fate, thus avoiding being replaced.
Looking at all the myths, there are very few that can achieve what Zeus did.
Athena had tried her best to conceal her contact with Su Mo, but she still couldn't escape his observation.
"I'm just curious about the god-slayer who defeated me in the past. It's nothing to report, is it?"
Athena answered naturally.
Which god in the divine realm hasn't gone off to the real world as a rebellious deity and caused a ruckus?
Therefore, attributing one's actions to the influence of a karmic connection to killing a god is an entirely irrefutable reason.
Of course, there is no defense that cannot be broken in the world.
No matter how perfect the excuse, it can't compare to a simple topic.
“If you are truly calling for a god-slayer, then I shouldn’t interfere.”
"But what exactly is this lord you just mentioned?"
At this point, lightning began to flash in Zeus's eyes.
"..."
Athena was speechless for a moment, not expecting that even her whispered remark had been heard.
"Also, could you explain your current divine status?"
Zeus spoke in a cold tone.
"The ancient Earth Mother Goddess of the Trinity... Ha, a familiar yet repulsive rudimentary form of divinity. Don't tell me you intend to abandon your identity as the chief god of Olympus and become a rebel against the King of Gods once more!"
As the king of gods, he was ultimately insightful, and even though Athena tried her best to cover it up, he could still see many problems.
Upon hearing Zeus point this out, Athena no longer pretended and coldly replied.
"So what? Without the wisdom of the Earth Mother Goddess, can you still hold onto your position as God King?"
In an extremely rare instance, she, a deity of the divine realm, chose to actively rebel against mythology.
If described in modern terms, she would undoubtedly be a true, disobedient god.
"The wisdom of the Earth Mother Goddess? Ha! You're still indulging in wishful thinking! Is it the prophecy of the Three Fates that gave you courage?"
Zeus scoffed at Athena's words.
According to the prophecy in the myth, the child born to Metis would be able to replace Zeus and become the new king of the gods.
From a mythological perspective, this prophecy is essentially a rehash of the Zeus myth, making it quite credible.
However, in order to deal with this prophecy, in mythology, Zeus directly devoured Metis and gained her power.
In the realm of the gods, the lineage of the Earth Mother Goddess, represented by Athena, was completely suppressed and became a vassal of the Steel Hero God.
Now, Athena's initiative to reclaim her ancient divine status can be described as an open rebellion.
"Without the help of the three Fates, I can regain the glory of the Earth Mother and wash away the shame of the past!"
As expected, Athena adopted a confrontational stance.
Seeing her appearance, Zeus shook his head slightly and did not rush to make a move.
"I can give you one last chance: relinquish the Gorgon Stone, accept the identity of the Olympian gods, and I can still treat you as my daughter!"
"No need!"
Athena, of course, refused to compromise in the slightest.
"The era of swaggering on the corpse of Mother Earth is over. I have restored the Triune God, Zeus, the King of the Gods. Accept Zeus, the Mother Earth!"
She pointed her spear at the sky god before her, her attitude clear.
After regaining her ancient form as the Earth Mother Goddess, her power was significantly amplified, making her no less powerful than an ordinary God King.
Even if the enemy is Zeus, Athena felt that she might still have a chance of victory.
She is the goddess of victory!
"A foolish choice!"
Looking at the confident Athena before him, Zeus shook his head, his eyes filled with undisguised disappointment.
"Now that things have come to this, do you still think you have even the slightest chance of winning?"
As soon as the words were spoken, a bolt of lightning the size of a water vat struck down, creating a short-lived thunderstorm.
A violent thunderstorm simultaneously enveloped the two gods. Zeus, bathed in the lightning, began to rapidly increase his aura.
Like fire, lightning can temper and enhance the power of the Steel Hero God.
The power of the thunderstorm far exceeded Athena's expectations. Even the gods' defenses could not withstand it. Even though Athena used the Shield of Aquis, she was unable to hold on for a while.
"Could this level of power be..."
Supported by her faith in the temple, Athena quickly guessed the reason. She turned to look in the direction of Mount Olympus, only to find that the sacred mountain had disappeared without a trace.
Upon noticing her movements, Zeus, the king of the gods, revealed a sinister grin.
"What are you looking for, Mount Olympus?"
"No need to search, I am Olympus!"
With these words, the phantom of Mount Olympus appeared behind Zeus, and the Olympian gods appeared on the battlefield at some unknown time, completely surrounding the rebellious Athena.
Despite the siege of the gods, Athena's gaze remained fixed on Zeus.
The siege by the gods was indeed terrifying, but she had a vague intuition that Zeus before her was far more terrifying than all the other gods combined.
096 Zeus, the only god and father of the heavens, is invincible in the world?
"boom--!"
Bright lightning, carrying the majesty of divine punishment, struck vertically.
The Shield of Aquis shattered instantly, and fine lightning scattered in all directions like water droplets.
"boom!"
Athena managed to abandon her shield, but she was still shaken by the lingering power of the thunder. Her slender body slammed into the temple wall, destroying a corner of the temple.
With just one strike, the triune earth goddess Athena was left in a very disheveled state.
However, the Earth Mother Goddess often possesses vitality comparable to that of dragons and snakes, so for Athena, this injury was not enough to affect her life.
Not to mention, this is the Parthenon, her own temple, where she naturally receives a boost.
The silver-haired goddess swallowed all the blood and foam that welled up in her mouth, showing no sign of weakness in front of her enemy.
Her owl-like eyes were fixed intently on the thunderclouds overhead.
"Thunder of this nature?"
She felt a familiar power within it.
"Oh? You've met the Last King?"
Zeus noticed Athena's surprise and doubt, and after a moment's thought, asked her this question.
"The Last King?"
Athena was slightly taken aback, then immediately recalled.
In the battle where she was defeated by Su Mo, she was instantly killed by Su Mo using a similar type of lightning. At that time, Su Mo was using the World-Saving Divine Blade.
Although it is unknown how Su Mo obtained the power of the Last King, the power of thunder clearly originally belonged to the Last King.
Now, upon hearing Zeus's words, the goddess, with her wisdom, immediately realized something.
"The thunder of the Last King, is it a gift from you?"
"Exactly!"
Zeus nodded slightly.
"Of course, besides me, there is also the power of the pagan gods Indra and Odin. Otherwise, with the strength of the Last King, he might not be able to eliminate those blasphemous rebels and reshape the relationship between humans and gods."
If the Last King is the god-slaying sweeper appointed by the gods, or the CEO pushed out by the gods...
So, the kings of the gods that Zeus is referring to now are the board of directors behind the scenes.
They are the ones who truly wield the power of the gods; the Last King is nothing more than a hired hand to them.
The source of the world-saving divine thunder is these god-kings.
Since Su Mo was able to easily defeat Athena using the God of Salvation Thunder, there's no reason why Zeus, as one of the origins, couldn't do the same.
Athena wasn't stupid; she naturally understood this.
But there was one thing she still couldn't understand.
"Why are you so strong?"
The opponent's strength has far exceeded the level of a main god or god-king, and has almost reached another realm.
She had only seen such power in the previous battle between Su Mo and Jibril.
That's not the power a normal god should have.
"why?"
