What? My cheat code is making my own gold coins explode?

"Dream on!" Astraea grabbed Zhao Si's clothes with both hands. The local costume, which contained the legacy of the great god, was not torn to shreds by Astraea's strength immediately, but the price was that Zhao Si himself was about to be pulled into Astraea's arms by Astraea's brute force.

Seeing that there was nowhere to retreat, Zhao Si simply stopped retreating, tried to block Astraea's pull with both hands, left his left foot on the ground as a foothold, and raised his right leg without hesitation to swing it towards Astraea's calf!

He actually has some strength?

Astraea heard the whooshing sound of Zhao Si's right leg swinging out, aimed at the back of her knee, and immediately understood his intention. So she didn't choose to take the hit head-on. Instead, she used her hands, which were originally holding Zhao Si's clothes, as a support point, and as she jumped up, she exerted force with her hands! The impact made Zhao Si's left leg go numb.

"Not good!" Zhao Si's right leg missed its mark, and his left leg was jolted by Astraea's sudden movement, causing him to lose his balance immediately. Even though he hadn't relaxed his hands, Astraea still managed to break free as she jumped up.

As Zhao Si stumbled and tried to regain his balance, Astraea twisted her body in mid-air, yelled "Hah!", and delivered a beautiful spinning kick that struck Zhao Si in the chest!

"Wow!"

Pain, extreme pain.

It felt like being hit head-on by a heavy truck. Zhao Si felt as if he had returned to the time when he was first taken away by a dump truck, that feeling of helplessness with blood in his throat and shortness of breath.

Zhao Si flew backward like a kite with a broken string. His body instinctively braced itself before crashing back onto the grass. With a "thud," Zhao Si rolled five or six times on the grass before finally stopping. When he tried to get up, he couldn't muster any strength and ended up kneeling on the ground with his mouth open and eyes closed.

"You're absolutely right to say you're reckless. What makes you think that your frail human body can hold its own against a god?"

Astraea slowly walked towards Zhao Si, the huge difference in their stats rendering all their pre-fight plans useless.

Zhao Si's free fighting skills were all taught by Astraea. Astraea could tell what move Zhao Si was going to make as soon as he bent over.

Then, with just that one kick, Zhao Si almost lost his fighting ability.

"Use your strength, Zhao Si. This is nothing to be ashamed of. Giving it your all is the only way to respect me!"

"Ahem... Well then, as you wish, Gaia—!"

A red and blue light emanated from Zhao Si's kneeling body, which was then suppressed to a height of one person—

Gaia v2, but only 1.85 meters tall, the reason is that she transforms to increase her height.

The chest that had just been kicked was still throbbing, but perhaps because he was standing on solid ground, Zhao Si felt the pain gradually subsiding, and his body was slowly becoming stronger, at the cost of expending more energy than when he was recovering his Gaia true form.

At the same time, it's normal for the strength to decrease due to the reduced size, but Gaia V2's stats are still incredibly high even when it's the same height.

Strength A+++, Endurance EX, Agility B, Magic A, Luck D.

In other words, restoring the 50-meter height panel means that everyone except those with Luck is EX.

"Good! Good! Good! That's the style you should have!"

It was only then that Astraea's blood began to boil, her hunting spirit ignited. This time, she took the initiative and charged forward, her fists aimed directly at Gaia's head:

"Even if someone is good-looking, I won't show them any mercy!"

Astraea simultaneously unleashed magical power, further enhancing her already A+ level of strength. As she threw a punch, she broke the sound barrier, producing a deafening roar.

"Slap! Slap!"

Gaia reached out and enveloped both of Astraea's fists, one after the other, and no matter how much magic Astraea released, she couldn't make Gaia move an inch.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

Astraea's muscles bulged with veins, but she still couldn't move forward an inch. When Gaia moved her wrist and pushed forward with force, Astraea was flipped over. Just like Zhao Si's embarrassing moment earlier, this time it was Astraea who was pushed away by Gaia and flew off, rolling five times on the grass before stopping with her mouth open and eyes closed.

The simplest contest of strength has already clearly shown the difference in strength. Just now it was said that Zhao Si was physically weak, but now it's Astraea's turn to have her spirit origin panel, which is that of a divine servant, suppressed by the opponent.

"Heh, no wonder you were able to break through Kirshtalia's celestial magic single-handedly. Even I wouldn't fare much better against that guy than the Twin Gods. But with your strength, defeating him would be quite easy."

In response to Astraea's words, Gaia nodded silently, while simultaneously bending her right palm in a gesture of greeting to Astraea:

"Come on, continue."

Zhao Si's voice rang out in Astraea's mind. Ultraman's thoughts directly conveyed his meaning, and the latter was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses. It turned out that he couldn't speak human language.

Astraea launched another attack, but this time she didn't confront him head-on like before. Instead, she slowly circled around Ultraman Gaia.

Seeing this, Gaia used the tip of his right leg to plow a circle with a radius of 1 meter around himself.

"If you can get me out of this industry, then you've won."

"You've really underestimated me! But the truth is, I can't beat you either."

Astraea didn't mince words and immediately agreed to Zhao Si's conditions. It was precisely because the other party saw that the difference in their stats had swung from one extreme to the other that he took the initiative to impose restrictions on himself.

"Then you better watch out!"

Astraea launched another attack on Gaia, but when Gaia threw a punch, she immediately chose to dodge to the side and simultaneously swung her elbow at Gaia's ribs. Regardless of whether the latter was injured by the attack, Astraea pushed off the ground to retreat and avoid being grabbed by Gaia's hands.

Since it was a self-imposed confinement, Astraea naturally wouldn't give up this free advantage. She changed tactics and launched attacks on Gaia's body in a guerrilla-style manner. Well-versed in the justice of free fighting, the Goddess of Libra relied on her superb martial arts skills, using both fists and feet, and was able to beat Gaia so badly that Gaia didn't have time to react in a short time. In the end, she stopped trying to fight back, and instead bent down slightly, clenching her fists in front of her chest to prepare for battle.

Without using beam attacks or chasing after people outside the designated area, and with his own fighting skills far inferior to Astraea's, Gaia found himself in a rather passive situation.

However, only Astraea, who initiated the attack, knew that every punch and kick she threw felt like hitting an impenetrable wall.

Even the shell of the Machine God would have been dented after being beaten by Astraea for two or three minutes, but Ultraman Gaia's body seemed to be even more solid than the shell of the Machine God, and the beating made his fists ache.

Astraea knew that Zhao Si was waiting for the opportune moment to strike. Although the victory was ugly, it was undoubtedly the best option for her. She couldn't be shameless enough to sit a meter away from Ultraman Gaia to rest and recover her strength before continuing to scrape him. Given the chance, she would definitely surround him and start fighting.

But no matter what, it's too meaty, isn't it?

Rooted in the earth, it's as if you're not striking a life, but the earth itself.

On two occasions, he was just one step behind, and when he tried to use joint locks at close range, Gaia grabbed him and threw him over the shoulder, sending him flying more than ten meters away and creating a crater in the process.

If it weren't for Astraea's exceptional stamina, she would have been knocked unconscious after just two slams from Gaia v2.

But the result was obvious: Astraea was no match for Gaia when she was unarmed.

"Use your weapons, goddess Astraea."

"His tone makes it sound like I'm the challenger."

Astraea didn't stand on ceremony with Zhao Si. She immediately picked up her sword and scales, turned around and charged at Ultraman Gaia again. First, she flung the scales away, but Ultraman Gaia blocked them and threw them to the other side...

"what?"

A gem filled with overflowing magic emerged from the scales that had been knocked away by Ultraman Gaia.

At the same time, Astraea, who was approaching, did not immediately swing her sword. Instead, she took out a brightly colored gem from her own body and threw it at Ultraman Gaia!

"Boom, boom, boom, boom -"

Astraea, who was lavishly using her gem magic, brushed past Gaia, who did not immediately grab her but was instead enveloped in the smoke and dust from the explosion.

The bombardment of the jewel magic was quite substantial, but Astraea didn't believe that such a small thing could break through Ultraman Gaia's defenses. With a wave of her hand, the scales returned to her grasp, and at the same time, she released all her magical power, unleashing her Noble Phantasm:

"Now is the moment of judgment; let us listen to the voice of the stars!"

A curtain, similar to that of celestial magic, was drawn around Astraea, but unlike the principles of celestial magic, the goddess of justice and Libra was herself an ascended guardian deity of Libra.

"Let me weigh your sins, my jewel vault is this night sky! Your sins... tsk, even if you are innocent, starlight will still fall! Are you prepared? [Now is the time for judgment, I appeal to your name!]"

[Custos Morum] Astraea launched a blank Noble Phantasm against Gaia that was ineffective against special attacks. The giant scales forcibly ripped Ultraman Gaia off the ground, but the next moment, due to the latter's own weight, it directly fell back to the ground.

Astraea, standing on the other side of the scale, leaps up. As the starlight formed by the magic of the gem flies towards Ultraman Gaia, the sword in her hand, symbolizing justice, authority, and power, Star of Judgment, draws a brilliant light and strikes Ultraman Gaia!

"Chua!"

Gaia v2 rapidly launched quantum streamers in an L-shaped pattern, bursting forth with an exceptionally bright white light the instant they collided with the sword—

When the light faded, the Star Judgment and the Scales lay scattered on the ground. Astraea lay there, while Gaia v2 stood.

"I won."

The light returned to his body, revealing Zhao Si's true appearance.

"Then, goddess Astraea, would you please accompany us?"

Chapter 78: Astraea's Answer, and the Encounter with Thetis (4k)

"Then, goddess Astraea, would you please accompany us?"

After defeating Justice and the Goddess of Libra, Zhao Si extended his right hand to the opponent lying on the ground, his eyes filled with expectation.

He was just to God, kind to people, preached and taught, tested the enemy's achievements after a great battle, and when he finally fell to the ground, he successfully joined hands with him and moved forward together.

What a great template for a classic shonen manga! Anyone who can resist this combo without getting excited is a genius.

"I reject."

"Hmm, then... huh?"

Zhao Si stood there dumbfounded, watching Astraea struggle to her feet. Although her steps were still somewhat unsteady, her attitude remained unchanged:

“I refuse,” Astraea repeated. “You must walk your own path, young man. As a Greek god, I will remain on this island and wait for the Lostbelt to come to pass.”

No one can resist the classic, passionate storyline, but that doesn't mean there aren't goddesses who can (big lie).

"Is that so? I'm still really looking forward to seeing your Libra."

"You just want to see me caught in the middle by the other gods, don't you?"

"We do have that idea, cough cough, but the main thing is that we want you to go out with us for a walk."

The goddess of justice in the pan-human history judges the main gods of the Lostbelts, that's awesome!

"So you still want to see me make a move, don't you?"

Astraea casually brushed the dust off her clothes, walked up to Zhao Si, looked up at him slightly, and said:

"When Libra lost its function from the very beginning, there was no point in me following you."

In Lostbelts, the way of loving is such that, given the widespread blind faith of the local inhabitants in the gods, even if the gods bestow death upon humanity.

Astraea herself could clearly recognize that this was evil, but the scales in the Atlantic Lostbelt could not judge the gods as evil, and one side of the scales would even tip in favor of the gods.

Home advantage, but Lostbelt home ground.

As for Astraea's use of her Noble Phantasm to measure Ultraman Gaia, it was seen as Earth's will punishing the moon goddess Artemis. In addition, Zhao Si himself is a foreigner, so the scales of justice could not function.

Justice and the scales of the Libra goddess are ineffective; it's better to stay on your own island for convenience and peace of mind.

"I understand."

Zhao Si withdrew his outstretched hand, no longer forcing the other party to make a choice, but adding at the end:

"However, in this way, we can be considered to have formed a bond."

"Of course, you're the best collectible I've ever seen. If you ever have the chance in the future, you can summon this goddess too, hehehehe~"
