That protagonist is trash; I could do better!

Hall, arms crossed, looked at the disheveled Medusa: "I'm going to explore the rest of the island. I'll be back in an hour."

There was nothing worth visiting on the Isle of No Return, and Hall simply didn't want to disturb the Gorgon sisters' reunion as an outsider.

Hall found a corner and used magic to study the structure of this world. Although it was the world in Medusa's memory, it seemed to have evolved into a miniature world with similar characteristics due to some event.

Medusa's power alone could not achieve this.

Having estimated the time, Hall returned to the Gorgon sisters.

Medusa put on her purple tight-fitting short dress again, which accentuated her beautiful figure. Actually, it wasn't Medusa dressed like this on purpose. The short dress she was wearing was her sister's old clothes. Unfortunately, her sister's clothes were too small. They were long dresses on her sister, but they were fitted short dresses on Medusa.

She sat on the collapsed stone pillar, head down, looking dejected.

Stheno and Euryale stood with their arms crossed, constantly lecturing her. Euryale did most of the talking, while Stheno occasionally chimed in with a sharp comment.

The eldest sister is aloof and elegant, the second sister is cheerful and lively, and Medusa is gloomy and introverted; the three sisters have very different personalities.

After Hall returned, Euryale, the second sister, could no longer stop berating Medusa.

Euryale walked up to Hall, put one hand on her hip, coughed, and said in a pretentious manner, "Human, thank you for bringing my good-for-nothing sister back."

"Is she alright?" Hall's gaze fell on Medusa.

"She is stronger than I imagined. Even though she has been through it once, all that's left here are painful memories."

Hall narrowed his eyes, pondering the deeper meaning of the goddess myth.

“You deserve a reward,” Euryale said.

"What reward?"

“The reward that every man in the world dreams of,” Euryale said with a playful smile.

“The men you’re talking about probably don’t include me,” Hall shrugged.

She is the woman every man dreams of, so it's not hard to guess what the reward is.

"Human warriors, express your respect to the goddess."

"..."

"I don't have that habit."

Euryale said angrily, "How rude of you not even know basic etiquette in front of a goddess."

Say what you want.

"Then pick me up."

"?"

Euryale sighed softly, "Are you some kind of beast without the ability to think? You can't even understand human language."

As instructed, Hall used his hands to support the goddess's body.

"Where are you touching! You scoundrel! That's so rude!" Euryale scolded loudly, her face flushed.

Hall had no choice but to put her down and carry her in a princess carry.

This time, Euryale finally nodded in satisfaction, wrapped her little arms around Hall's neck, and gently pecked Hall's cheek: "Aren't you happy? You are the first human male in the world to receive a goddess's kiss."

Hall was speechless: "Can I put you down now?"

Euryale chuckled and whispered in Hall's ear, "This world is indeed the world in Medusa's memory, but I (Stheno) and I do not belong to Medusa's memory."

"I know."

Only the power of a goddess could create such a small world.

Euryale played with her twin ponytails, twirling them with her fingers, and said with great interest, "You are no ordinary human. I will give you some advice: the throne of the gods is about to return."

The throne of gods has returned!? Wang Defa!?

Euryale kissed Hall on the cheek again, then nimbly jumped down, waving with a smile, "Goodbye, human warrior."

Stheno sighed, "Pathetic humans."

The two sisters left hand in hand, gradually disappearing into the distance as their bodies faded away.

This is the world in Medusa's memory, her most unforgettable and painful memory, but this memory has now been changed.

The goddess descended into this world through her connection with Medusa, and with the help of Hall, she averted an impending tragedy.

This does not mean that history was changed, and in fact, it had no real impact.

It only soothed the wounds in Medusa's heart.

······

Having exited the world of Medusa's memories at some point, Hall's consciousness sank deeper, reaching its end.

It is still a bizarre and wonderful world, pitch black, yet you can "see" countless light patterns, like magic engravings, extending into the depths of darkness, where marine life swims freely.

I vaguely heard the deep, muffled call of a whale.

When all things faded away, Hall was like a drowning man, struggling in vain.

Damn!

Transplanting the petrified demon eye was more dangerous than Hall had imagined.

If it were a transplant, that would be fine. This ritual also involves fusing the [Petrifying Eye] with the eye that Hall himself possesses. The strange experience of consciousness is the rejection reaction caused by the fusion of the two eyes.

What should we do? Should we stop the ceremony?

In the darkness, a familiar feeling helped Hall maintain his sense of self in the turbulent world, like grasping at a straw.

Dark Temple

Medusa's Noble Phantasm can be used to seal opponents into her own consciousness, and can also be used to invade dreams, share thoughts, and so on.

As the chaotic storm receded like the tide, Hall slowly opened his eyes at the center of the ritual circle in the basement. One eye was bright red, and the other was pure blue, with silver-gray black holes flowing from their pupils, and strange lights flickered.

The [Flowing Demon Eye] and [Petrifying Demon Eye] have merged, and the resulting new Demon Eye ability is second only to the two legendary rainbow-level Demon Eyes.

"The name... shall be Destiny."

Hall chuckled to himself, his smile revealing undisguised excitement. The Magic Eye's abilities included, but were not limited to, clairvoyance, observation of parallel worlds, causal prediction, and control over time.

Chapter 285 Suppressive Force, You Schemed Against Me!

Although the Mystic Eyes of Fate are extremely powerful, they still suffer from a common problem among all Mystic Eye holders when used in practice.

Generally, the stronger the magical eye, the higher the qualities required of the wielder.

Taking the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception as an example, the wielder's brain will be constantly affected by the Mystic Eyes. The more it is used, the deeper the mental corruption becomes. As the Mystic Eyes' abilities become stronger, the wielder will likely become a murderer, and eventually, their brain will be burned out.

The only exception is Ryougi Shiki, because Ryougi Shiki's main personality is connected to the Root and she is born with an understanding of death, so she is not restricted in using the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.

Hall possesses near-limitless magical power; his only concern is whether his body can withstand the burden brought by the Magic Eye.

After the ritual of transplanting the Mystic Eyes ended, Rider stood up. The color of one of his eyes had noticeably faded, indicating that he had lost the ability of the Petrifying Mystic Eye.

A dark and quiet basement.

Rider calmly asked, "Did you...see it?"

"You mean your memories? I see. You should have retained that memory yourself. The extraordinary world was created based on your memories, with your experiences as the script. Only the actors have changed."

“Big sister…” Rider lowered her head and remained silent. The false memory she had experienced made it clear to her two older sisters that Euryale and Stheno had never blamed their younger sister for killing them.

Hall was more concerned about what Euryale had said to him: the return of the throne. The throne of the gods was similar to the throne of heroes, which had long since gone to the outer reaches of the world with the decline of the age of gods, much like the return of the Bull of Heaven to the heavens.

If the return of the divine throne is to be accompanied by the arrival of the divine age, then only the divine age can accommodate the existence of the so-called divine throne.

But, is the Age of Gods returning?

Can the Great Source (Planetary Power) withstand it? In a sense, this is almost equivalent to Gaia's restraining force declaring war on Alaya's restraining force. Moreover, Gaia's restraining force alone is simply not enough to achieve the return of the Age of Gods.

Modern human civilization has divided up most of the mysteries that originated from the origins of the universe. If deities were to manifest themselves in modern times, it would be no different from suicide.

The foundation of modern humanity cannot accommodate the existence of so-called gods.

Hall speculated on various reasons: "That's not quite right. The inhibitory force won't be activated easily. If what Euryale said is true, then there's only one possibility."

“The Vortex of Origin has undergone a mutation.”

"As a record of all things in the world, only equal forces can change it."

"Could it be... the influence of the Star Cup?"

For a moment, Hall felt a little guilty. He had indeed used the power of the Star Cup in this world, which could very well have impacted the Root. As for what would happen, Hall wasn't sure.

Theoretically, the return of the gods is impossible. Just think, it took the Demon King Goetia burning human reason to gather the energy to return to the world billions of years ago, while the return of the gods is equivalent to rewinding the entire world thousands of years.

Hall tried to activate his magic eye, only to find the future a chaotic mess, not nonexistent, but simply unobservable.

"Forget it, even if the Age of Gods returns, it has nothing to do with me."

Even if something does happen, Hall is strong enough to handle it; at worst, he can use a cheat device. (Star Cup)

"The new Mystic Eye ability born from the fusion with the Petrifying Mystic Eye is still very unstable. We need to create a new pair of glasses (Mystic Eye Killer)."

Hall covered his eyes, and strange light peeked through his fingers. He was temporarily unable to control the power of his magic eye, which caused his two eyes to see completely different scenery: one was the world he was in, and the other was a constantly changing world.

"No wonder magicians with clairvoyance rarely use this ability..."

Sometimes it is darkness, sometimes it is an insect nest, sometimes it is a basement that has collapsed due to aging. Each change symbolizes a parallel world observed by the magic eye.

The loss of magic power was still within a tolerable range, but the body was clearly showing signs of weakness, feeling dizzy and lightheaded, probably because blood was concentrated in the head.

"Something's not quite right."

Hall squinted at the entrance to the basement, which was like the entrance to heaven, radiating a blinding white light. The scene above the basement could not be seen with the naked eye, and the Demon Eye could not see normally because it was in an abnormal state.

As you climb the stairs and face the beam of white light, your vision suddenly opens up, and the ever-changing world seen by the Demon Eye abruptly freezes, settling on a burning ruin.

Huh?

Hall's vision blurred for a moment, and his body fell uncontrollably, experiencing a very subtle sensation.

It's impossible to describe in words; it's like traversing countless spaces in an instant, causing a slight daze in my consciousness.

Before Hall's eyes, a pale white sphere of light floated silently.

It seemed like only a moment had passed when Hall regained control of his body, regained his balance, and stepped onto the ground. The surrounding environment had already undergone a dramatic change.
