Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

However, when the tsunami or the giant sword collided with the light cannon, a huge mushroom cloud rose up.

The hot sand sweeping through the stratosphere unleashed a terrifying sandstorm, plunging the entire world into a state of mourning and lamentation.

This astonishingly powerful strike instantly cleared the heavens and earth, leaving even the gods in the sky stunned.

It was as if they had witnessed something terrifying.

Chapter 144 Chasing the Kiss of the Storm, Poseidon: I've been cheated on x2?! Ahhh!

"Impossible... How could someone who merely borrowed Athena's divine power to wield that weapon be stronger than the sun god herself...?!" At the epicenter of the explosion, Ares, the god of war, roared in disbelief.

His energy body was somewhat injured. Although the two main gods joined forces to resist the attack and even increased their output power at the last moment, Ares's energy body did not have much power divided, far less than when his main body descended.

At this moment, the energy giant had shrunk several sizes, transforming from a towering giant into a wretched dwarf.

Poseidon, the god of the sea, although stronger than Ares, was the main damage dealer at the beginning and took the brunt of the damage. He was also severely injured, with half of his elemental body blown off, and he is slowly repairing himself.

Half a head was missing, with only a glowing eye visible. Poseidon looked at Griffith and suddenly noticed his condition: "Madness—! Have you gone mad? Human. To risk your life, to fight to such an extent, to unleash that kind of attack…"

Unfortunately, although your burst of power could threaten the Dao Lord God, you could only unleash that attack once.

Poseidon did not answer this question that night.

—The enhancements that Athena can provide do have their limits.

But the limits of the power she granted far exceeded Poseidon and Ares's imagination.

In the original myth, Diomedes, a mortal, was able to unleash his power and chase after Aphrodite and Ares, until he finally retreated when he faced Apollo, who rebuked him and feared his power.

That is to say-

An equation can be derived: the power of Athena's blessing combined with Diomedes' original power is approximately greater than Ares', but less than Apollo's.

As for Eros, the god of love, he is a disgrace to the main gods in terms of combat power. He basically has no ability to fight head-on and can be ignored. In fact, Diomedes' greatest achievement was injuring the god of war in a head-on confrontation and chasing after him all the way. As for Ares, who is also a disgrace to the main gods, many other main gods could kill him instantly.

Based on this, Diomedes' power after receiving the blessing, although reaching the level of a chief god, should not be too strong, belonging to the normal strength of a chief god.

Unlike Ye, he doesn't possess any powerful divine artifacts; otherwise, his combat strength should be comparable to that of powerful gods like Apollo.

But to only consider combat power without taking into account that the main gods also possess powerful divine artifacts is to be dishonest.

Fortunately, both of the people in front of Ye were energy beings.

Ares, that poor bastard, doesn't care. Poseidon, the god of the sea and lord of the ocean, should have a lot of good stuff, but obviously he didn't bring any of it with him in his energy form.

It's like Poseidon betting he couldn't unleash a second attack.

Seeing that half of Poseidon's body was gone and could not be repaired no matter what, it was clear that this energy body could not withstand the next blow and was about to collapse.

This is an avatar created from the soul, except that it doesn't wear any divine artifacts. Its strength, vitality, and spiritual power are almost identical to the original body. Killing it here would be no different from actually killing them once.

'Kill God——! '

The rewards for achieving this great feat would be absolutely top-tier.

When he realized that he might be able to use Athena's power and take advantage of these rare few minutes of top-tier experience cards to accomplish the great feat of slaying a god.

At this moment, Poseidon and Ares were like hot commodities in his eyes.

Athena reminded Ye Dao, "Their divine power is running low... Fighting a protracted war with them is ultimately futile, as they are just energy entities; they can simply dissipate naturally."

Your body can't withstand another attack of that level, or it will collapse.

But if that were the case—

Therefore, he would be unable to accomplish the great feat of killing a god.

The achievement of a great deed is completely different from that of a direct kill.

The night was silent...

Athena exclaimed in astonishment, "You don't intend to kill Poseidon and Ares here, do you?"

She astutely guessed Griffith's thoughts at that moment, and surprisingly did not try to dissuade him.

Instead, after a slight pause, it said in his mind, "If you want to take a gamble, there's another way—it can let you unleash that god-destroying strike once again!"

Ye subconsciously asked, "What?"

He didn't notice that Athena's voice trembled slightly, as if she was suppressing something, seemingly expectant but feigning indifference.

Her voice was still very gentle...

She doesn't resemble a goddess of war at all; instead, she's as gentle and approachable as a friendly older sister next door.

Athena: "Are you ready? Actually... I can help you unleash your potential, but it will come at a small price."

Night: "The price?"

Athena: "Hmm... it's not a particularly serious price, but after you're done using it, you'll have a mark on you as my goddess of wisdom."

Night: "Something like a blessing or a favor...?"

The two communicated entirely through spoken words, so only a moment passed for them to be heard from the outside world.

Athena gave a vague answer, indicating that it was more or less the same, but certainly not the mark of slavery like that of Ares, the god of war. If he didn't believe her…—

Night interrupted, "Come on..."

His gaze had already given Athena the answer; it was perfectly calm.

Forget about trust or distrust; he never doubted that Athena would have any improper thoughts about him—of course, these were legitimate improper thoughts.

If Athena wanted to take action, she could have done so long ago; she had more opportunities than any other god to steal from her own fold.

At a point like this, there's no need to talk about a crisis of trust.

That complete trust, however, caused considerable damage to Athena's heart.

Athena smiled—a sudden, overwhelming feeling arose within her: indeed, I am very interested in you, Griffith.

I can no longer restrain myself! I'm sorry, Artemis—

The warriors I've been searching for, those who give me unparalleled peace of mind, those I can trust and with whom I can share that trust, are right here.

—The 'storm' she was seeking was right before her eyes!

In a world unseen by night, Athena's spirit extended her delicate tongue and gently licked the corner of her mouth.

Then, as if her true nature had been unleashed, she finally revealed the true nature that had been hidden beneath her dignified, gentle, and sacred facade.

She gently brushed a strand of hair behind her ear with one hand, then a dark, deep glint flashed in her eyes—

The essence of war is plunder.

Now that it's decided, and you've set your sights on something you absolutely want, if it's not yours, then you'll have no choice but to take it by any means necessary.

The next moment, Athena lowered her head.

Then her figure appeared, and amidst countless incredulous gazes, the moment Athena appeared, she kissed Night's lips.

——！！！！！

"Ya... Diana!! You actually—?!" Poseidon's elemental body seemed to turn green and glow instantly, and the light in his eyes, which were now only half a head, flickered for a moment, as if he had been greatly shocked.

Poseidon was not the only one that was greatly impacted at this time.

Chapter 145 The Destructive Body, Athena in "Timaeus"

suddenly--

Athena's hair turned pure silver-white, as if all the colors on her body had been completely swallowed up by that silver-white, under the blessing of the immaculate silver-white goddess.

The blessings conveyed through this intimate contact can be described as the highest form of blessing.

Athena completely ignored her and continued her relentless conquest—a process so intense that it was enough to shock a certain moon goddess to the point of forgetting to be angry, leaving her mind completely blank.

They could only stare blankly at the two shameless figures radiating divine light in the sky, their bodies gradually glowing with silvery-white divine power.

Wait, what are you doing to someone else's family?!

'By the true name of Athena, I command you to dispel the sun's blessings and let the stars and the dark winds return! Ancient storms!'

"Transform into power and bestow it upon this body!" Athena silently murmured in her heart, bestowing upon humanity her blessing for the first time, and such an intimate and supreme blessing at that.

It's not that such a blessing can bestow terrifying power, but rather that it can create a close enough connection with the recipient, and this is the most crucial part of Athena's many layers of schemes and intrigues.

Artemis! Even someone as generous as you couldn't have had such a close divine blood connection with Griffith.

She transferred a portion of her divine blood into Ye's body to complete the blessing contract, and after finishing everything, she retreated without changing her expression, as if everything that had just happened was a normal thing, not something particularly shady.

But if we ignore the crystalline sheen when it stretches in the air...

The goddess's earlobes were slightly red, clearly indicating that she wasn't truly indifferent to such matters; her current demeanor was entirely a facade.

Poseidon?

Artemis?

Those were lips that even they hadn't touched—! Well, whose lips were those? Artemis's was one thing, but Poseidon's was another matter.

At this moment, the sea god's physical walls were separating, and he was on the verge of going mad!

Meanwhile, although Athena's surprise attack had left him somewhat bewildered, Yoru finally became convinced that this Athena was a bit frivolous.

But Ye didn't push it away just now—or rather, if the timing hadn't been wrong, he would have liked to experience it more thoroughly.

At this moment, Ye felt the power within her body. Although it was still the same output and the blessing had not changed, it seemed to have become easier to control, as if it were her own power, and it also had a touch of the divine concept added to it.

It's like a power that originally had no attributes suddenly undergoing a qualitative change.

Athena: "Blessed by the power of the goddess of war, I have divided the aspects of storms and power within you as seeds in my blood..."

Enjoy the power of this storm! Griffith, I will bestow upon you another true name, as a better embodiment of this power—your true name: Set! The glory of all armies will crown you, until the day you become the master of power, that day will surely come!

And when Athena uttered that last sentence, especially the word "Set".

Suddenly, Ye sensed a new change in that mystical concept, as if it had triggered some crucial key, opening a door, and terrifying power suddenly surged forth from his limbs and bones.

Roar~!! Ye felt as if her soul was enveloped by a new power, experiencing a brand new leap. She vaguely sensed an incomparably huge figure appearing in her mind, condensing and disappearing in a flash.

It stood tall and imposing in the stormy desert, like a great god, its obelisk-like structure exuding an aura of power.

Although fleeting, it seems to be an image formed according to his own subconscious.

Real name: Seth — Appearance: ...

Wait, what?!?!?!?! Holy crap, Obelisk the Titans?!
