That protagonist is trash; I could do better!

May the gods protect you!

"Is that monster dead?"

"God has come to save us!"

"Slay that monster! Avenge our fallen warriors!"

However, the human cheers were cut short as the snakes, which should have died, once again gleamed with a ferocious light, turning all humans in their sight to stone.

They swam back to the snake pillar, making it look like a giant wrapped in snakes.

sizzle~

All the snakes evolved from Medusa's hair, and they all looked up at the sky, pouring the power of the highest-level petrifying magic eye into Hall's body.

The air distorted, and an invisible pressure enveloped Hall's body. Under the heavy pressure, the operation of the magic circuits in his body became difficult.

Hall reached out and drew the primordial runes. The runes enveloped Hall's body, forming a barrier that barely blocked the influence of the Petrifying Eye. He took a deep breath: "As expected of the monstrous Medusa, the influence of the Petrifying Eye is much stronger than in her Heroic Spirit form."

How to do?

Seeing that the Demon Eye was ineffective, the snake hairs all let out terrifying roars, and thousands upon thousands of snake hairs surged toward Hall's location, like a black river flowing into the sky. Each snake hair contained terrifying power; let alone humans, even steel bars could be cut in half if touched by the snake hairs.

"This should be the world from Medusa's memories, so we can't use the power of the Star Cup."

The Star Cup is too large; the moment it manifests, it will shatter this world of memories, and it might even shatter Medusa's spirit origin in reality, inevitably causing the ritual to transplant the Petrifying Eye to fail.

With Hall's current strength, dealing with Medusa wouldn't be difficult. Hall possesses the primordial runes, which are the truths that Zeus, the king of the gods in Greek mythology, obtained from observing the universe. In terms of scale, they overwhelmingly surpass Medusa.

"God of gods, King of kings, Father of men and gods, your wrath will be transformed into thunder."

Hall chanted incantations, connecting with the foundation of Greek magic. He drew the primordial runes with his fingers, generating golden lightning that slashed down from the sky, instantly cleaving through the snake hair and striking Medusa's true form. After a wail, all the snake hair that surged towards Hall was burned to ashes by the lightning.

At the same time, the lightning also aroused the ferocity of the Serpent Pillar, causing its snake hair to curl and reveal its core.

A cold, monstrous eye was staring at Hall, flashing red light, but it was not the power of the Petrifying Eye.

Hall's vision went black as his consciousness was sealed inside Medusa's mental world.

【Dark Temple】: Seal the other person's consciousness into your own mental world.

······

"Things seem to be getting complicated," Hall sighed, looking around. It was still that small island, but the environment had changed dramatically.

The Invisible Island was caught in a storm, with lightning and thunder, howling winds, and torrential rain ravaging the island.

Unlike the invisible island during the day, it was even more sinister and terrifying. Blood gushed from the cracks and breaks in the humanoid stone statues, staining the ground red and flowing into the sea, gradually turning the sea blood-red.

The stone statues emitted painful murmurs that drowned out the storm.

"Monster! Monster... monster!"

"I don't want to die!"

"Don't come near me!"

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

"Die, you monster!"

All the sounds were human curses that Medusa heard before she petrified them; it was these curses that gradually led Medusa to become a monster.

Rumble!

A bolt of lightning struck the sea, revealing the enormous monster dwelling on this invisible island. A giant black serpent coiled its body around the island, its head suspended in mid-air, its scarlet eyes staring at the humans who had intruded.

Most people would have been terrified by this scene, but Hall was very calm, even a little amused. What kind of scene hadn't he seen in the world of "No Game No Life"?

Although Medusa sealed it to the inner part of her mind, this does not necessarily mean that Medusa has the upper hand.

Having experienced countless worlds, countless killings, and countless powers, Hall is the true monster in the realm of the spirit.

······

On the tranquil and desolate Isle of No Return, Stheno encounters his sister, who is also himself.

"Eureka, go help that human. He's been imprisoned in the mental realm by Medusa."

Euryale said lazily, "Hey, why should I go save that human? I hate brutal fighting."

"To save my sister."

"Yes, there's no other way, it's all for my lovely little sister."

Euryale grumbled reluctantly, and the golden light converged into a magnificent golden longbow and arrow, like the weapon held by Cupid. The arrowhead was not made of sharp metal, but a heart carved from gemstones.

She found a spot, drew back her golden longbow, aimed at the dark sky in the distance, and smiled mischievously: "Hmm? I'm going in now~ Watch me shoot your heart through!"

The jeweled arrow left a pink tail as it traversed space and struck Hall's heart, unleashing an explosion of pink hearts that engulfed Hall.

······

Medusa's world of consciousness.

On the Isle of No Return, the giant serpent symbolizing Medusa's consciousness swallowed Hall whole. Less than two seconds later, its body suddenly convulsed, writhing and struggling in agony. Its enormous body crushed all the ruins of the temple on the Isle of No Return.

Rumble~ Rumble~

A golden light shone from its belly, gradually heating up, like a sun inside its body, until the giant snake could no longer resist biting the glowing spot, tearing its own body open, and throwing the glowing object away.

Blood and flesh rained down, the light dissipated, revealing Hall's body. Facing the giant snake with its fierce eyes, Hall sneered, "So what if the killing intent of a mere monster is a hundred times stronger?"

Not to mention the God of War Arthas, Medusa, affected by the carnage, is not even a tenth as powerful as Scáthach, the Queen of the Land of Shadows.

After speaking, he raised his hand and brought down the knife, his spirit manifesting an invisible power that severed the giant serpent's body.

Just as Hall was about to completely destroy Medusa's consciousness, he frowned and saw pink heart-shaped bubbles emanating from his body, flooding his vision.

"Could this be...?"

When Hall came to his senses, he found that his consciousness had returned to his body, and a long pink arrow was stuck in his chest.

Seeing the goddess Euryale's appearance at the meeting, Hall felt a surge of excitement and was eager to immediately kneel down at her feet.

This arrow also has the power to seduce men.

Hall pulled out the arrow that had pierced his heart, feeling both amused and exasperated. He hadn't expected Euryale, the second of the three Gorgon sisters, to lend him a hand, though it didn't really matter whether she helped or not.

On the Sea of ​​Stone, after a series of battles, Medusa's vitality was noticeably weakened, and it writhed half-dead.

Hall descended from the sky, his hands forming indestructible pseudo-ether swords, and stepped toward the Serpent Pillar.

Hiss~

Sensing the threat, hundreds of snakes with gleaming eyes warned Hall, flicking their scarlet tongues.

Ignoring the snake hair, Hall quickened his pace and charged towards the snake pillar, facing the tide of snake hair. He wielded his rapiers wildly, and the violent sword light severed all the snake hair one by one.

Hiss~ Hiss hiss hiss~ Hiss hiss hiss~ Hiss hiss hiss~

The magic eye detected the movement of the magic power, and the rapier followed.

The onslaught of the snake-haired tide from all directions overwhelmed Hall, but the sword light, like a lone boat, broke through the fierce waves. No matter how fierce the waves were, the lone boat remained calm and composed.

"In order to protect his family, he craved greater power, but was devoured by his bestial nature, putting the cart before the horse."

"You pathetic monster, won't you wake up?!" Hall shouted.

The verbal attack took effect, and Medusa's fierce offensive suddenly stopped. Taking this opportunity, Hall passed through Medusa's encirclement and came to the Serpent Pillar. The sword pierced through the Serpent Pillar and burst out with a strong white light.

Rumble~

All the snake hairs were destroyed by the light of destruction, revealing Medusa's body inside.

She had not yet fully transformed into a Gorgon; her eyes were completely black, with scarlet pupils.

"Kill...kill me," she said in a hoarse voice, her indifferent tone betraying a plea.

This is her last chance, her last shred of sanity. Once she returns to the Island of No Return and devours her two older sisters, she will be utterly corrupted.

"Will that save you?" Hall asked with a sneer.

Medusa shook her head, trembling: "I don't want to hurt my sisters... That's right, I should be the one protecting them."

What good would it do to stop Medusa from killing her sister in the world of memories? It has already happened; it's just self-deception.

Hall drew the primordial runes, suppressing the bestiality within Medusa's body and resisting her physical limitations.

What are you going to do?

"I'll take you back to the Island of No Form."

Medusa was shocked and furious, and shouted: "Fool! How can my sisters see me like this... Are you a sadist? Do you want them to see me like this for your amusement? Let me go!"

Hall quipped, "It's precisely because you've become like this that I'm taking you back. You're right about one thing: I am a sadist, or more accurately, a pleasure maniac. The more pain you suffer, the happier I am."

"Damn humans!" Medusa cursed, repeating the same few words she had learned from humans.

Chapter 284 The Eye of Destiny

"Human! Put me down!"

"You damn sadist, you'll regret this!"

"Please, I'll do anything, just please don't take me back."

"I don't want... my older sisters to see how ugly I look now."

No matter how much Medusa struggled and pleaded, Hall remained determined to return to the Isle of No Return.

“Stop struggling pointlessly, it’s unsightly,” Hall said calmly. When the invisible island became visible to the naked eye, he could clearly feel Medusa’s body trembling slightly as he carried her on his shoulder.

Fear or guilt?

It's not hard to imagine Medusa's feelings right now, like a naughty child who runs away from home out of fear after making a mistake, and is then forcibly brought back to face their parents.

The two goddesses were already waiting eagerly on the shore of the invisible island.

Hall threw Medusa in front of them.

Euryale put her hands on her hips and scolded Medusa harshly: "Honestly, Medusa, where have you been all this time? Without you, I would have died of boredom."

"Sister..." Medusa murmured, lowering her head and not daring to say more.

Stheno remained aloof and said calmly, "Medusa, don't make me worry too much."
