"Why?" Perseus reached out to stop Blaise. The contradiction in this man made him curious.

"I just realized that I did something not very good." Blaze avoided Perseus's sight uncomfortably.

He only treated Perseus, or Athena, as a hidden boss and provoked and guarded against her. But he should have treated her as someone who needed help instead of doing something irreversible.

It was satisfying to throw away the Aegis, but Perseus's collapse was also real.

"It's just a shield. Whether you can use this shield to gain the power of the [King of Olympus] is still a question. After all, Zeus is not an honest man." Perseus comforted her instead.

"Perhaps the Aegis is just another trap."

This is probably why those involved are confused, while those who are not involved can see things more clearly.

Blaze really wanted to make amends for her mistake and retrieve the shield, but she knew it was impossible. The Aegis had disappeared into the mist of Heart Island, completely lost.

If it weren't for Blaze's actions, she would probably have rushed into the fog, searching frantically in vain.

"Well, I'll give you something else as compensation." Blaze hurriedly took out a simple forging table, lit the fire and swung the hammer to forge.

"You really do what you want!" Perseus wanted to stop him, but the flying sparks scared him.

Perseus shook his head helplessly and sat on the ground bored amid the clanging sound of Blaze.

"What is he doing?" Perseus, or Athena, asked as he looked at Blaze who seemed to be glowing.

"I'm expressing my apologies and want to make up for my mistakes as much as possible." The snake said softly.

"Really?" Athena rested her face on her knees, saying no more, and watched Blaze hammering the red-hot metal quietly.

The knocking sound gradually turned into a wet and dull heartbeat. That was the place where she was born, and she was wrapped not in amniotic fluid but in corrosive stomach acid.

She didn't have time to become him, and had to be born as a goddess in order to survive.

[Have to] seemed to have become some kind of curse, making her feel that no matter how well her life was, her current life was just an alternative plan, she could live a better life, and her current life was not her real life.

So she walked into Cheng Wang's trap without any hesitation, and the temptation to get back on track made her abandon her current life.

The result was that she wandered lost in this island of heart, where she and her world were completely forgotten.

"I want to...go home."

There is no night on Heart Island, which is always shrouded in fog. Time seems to have stopped flowing. It was not until Blaze nervously walked in front of her with a bright silver round shield that she felt the stiffness and numbness in her body.

"This is definitely not as good as Aegis's. See if it works."

Perseus jumped over the shield in Blaze's hand, looked straight at Blaze, and suddenly asked.

"How old are you?"

"Huh?" Blaze was stunned and said honestly, "17 years old, almost 18."

"Isn't he still a child? No wonder he still has some fantasies about God." Perseus laughed out loud and continued to ask while Blaze was making some embarrassed movements.

"Are you a descendant of some god? Or a royal noble?"

"No, do you want it or not!" Blaze thrust the shield towards Perseus forcefully, his apology much less evident.

Perseus took the shield, and as soon as he held it he knew it was a good shield.

Although it was far inferior to Aegis of the Shield, Aegis of the Shield could not make this child who beat and attacked her mercilessly show any anxiety.

How to say it, it was like an ignorant kid who suddenly realized the need to be considerate and began to reflect on what had happened before, she couldn't help but want to tease him.

"You are so considerate that I feel a little uncomfortable. Do you want to recover?"

"Let's be fair. I can't let you become the King of Olympus and disrupt this world. And you still have to give me the goat fur. If you don't, I will just take it away from you."

"Recovering well." Perseus nodded with satisfaction. Looking at the shining shield in his hand, he felt a lot lighter.

"Come with me, and I will give you the goat's fur."

The fog of Heart Island became thicker and slowly crawled towards the Heart Island.

Chapter 679 Demonic Goddess

Perseus readily brought Blaise to the location of the divine bag, which turned out to be a dog hole.

Seeing Perseus pointing to the hole where he needed to lie prone on the ground and crawl into, Blaze felt a lot less apologetic.

"Are you kidding me? Or is this your special way of making others feel less sorry?"

"Don't you think this is a very clever trap?" Perseus was a little proud. "I pointed the mouth of the magic bag at the outside of the dog hole, and then pointed Medusa's face at the hole. This way, anyone who goes in will be 100% petrified. It's much more reliable than putting Medusa's face facing the mouth of the bag."

Simply put, simply placing it in the magic bag may cause Medusa's head to turn during shaking, and the petrification trap will not be 100% successful.

But for going to such lengths to sin against someone, Blaze really felt that Perseus deserved whatever retribution he encountered.

"You go."

"I go?"

Perseus pointed at himself, this development wasn't surprising but Blaise shook his head and pointed at the shadow on the ground.

A shadow that was obviously darker crawled into the dog hole, and then a huge sheepskin bag was dragged out.

This time, the shadow werewolf was too lazy to transform back into its original form and simply threw the sheepskin bag in front of Blaze.

Blaze picked up the sheepskin bag and weighed it. It was heavy.

【Magic Bag】

[The divine bag supported by the fur of Almatea, the first generation of Capricorn, made by the goddess Athena can dispel magic and seal evil things. 】

When Perseus saw the magic bag, his eyes wavered and he subconsciously reached out his hand. But to his surprise, Blaze handed the magic bag over directly.

"You threw away the shield, what's the use of giving me this?" Perseus sighed helplessly and did not catch the magic bag. "Are you planning to revive Capricornus Almathea and return her to the sky next?"

"Would you like to come along? If you ask Capricorn, maybe she'll save a seat for you."

Blaze made a joke, but Perseus shook his head, with a clean smile on his face, as if all the negative emotions were gone.

"I can't go up. As Perseus, I am not qualified to ascend to heaven and become a constellation."

"W-why? Didn't you defeat Medusa?"

Perseus smiled softly and opened his hand to Blaze.

Those hands were very white, like the fingers of a woman who was good at embroidery.

"Have you ever looked at your own hands? My hands are white and soft like a newborn baby, while your hands are probably covered with calluses and wounds, like a soldier who has gone through countless hardships."

"Like you said, I took a shortcut. With the strongest shield in Olympus, boots that can fly at super speed, a helmet that can turn you invisible, and even knowing when Medusa falls asleep, anyone can cut off Medusa's head under the same circumstances."

"Without the Aegis shield, the invisible dog-skin helmet, and in a head-on confrontation, Perseus' chances of winning are almost zero."

"And the Athena inside me neither wants to be Athena nor can I be the King of Olympus. I even look down on Perseus' body. How can I step into the sky like this?"

"So, you plan to grow old and die on earth like this?" Blaze pursed his lips.

Somehow, Athena was no longer crazy or obsessed, and gave people an even worse feeling. The lightness and relaxation she showed were like a burnt match.

"You know, I inherited a kingdom that was in need of a manager. That kingdom is in a state of disrepair and will be no worse than Olympus."

"You are quite gentle." Perseus shook his head, seemingly unwilling to continue this topic.

"I'm tired, go put Medusa's head back."

Blaze walked towards Medusa's headless body, looking back every few steps. Perseus did not follow him and even turned away.

Perhaps the worst thing he did was to jokingly, as if to show his sense of humor, tell Athena that the Age of Gods had ended and she was homeless.

Both Odin and Cyrene seemed so relieved that they took it for granted that Athena could accept it as well.

But before coming to this heart island, he had seen the Beast God Wuwang, who missed the reed plains and was content to die just by hearing the horn of abundance.

He was reminded in the dark, but he didn't take it to heart.

"Oh~what have I done."

Blaze walked dejectedly to the hillside where Medusa's headless body was buried. He closed his eyes and reached his hand into the magic bag, and his fingertips touched the soft skin.

Medusa's head is just like her body. It has not decayed even after countless years and remains as fresh as new.

"Just put the head back and prevent the demonic undead from bothering us again."

Blaze took out Medusa's head impatiently. At this time, he wanted to complain to this monster.

Why can't you sleep less and fight Perseus more, that would at least help...

Nothing will change. As long as Perseus cuts off the head of this innocent evil monster for the throne, the evil spirit inside it will be released and will hunt Perseus endlessly.

Even if Perseus had an invisible dog-skin helmet, as long as Perseus still held Medusa's head, the evil spirit would chase him one day.

As Athena herself said, this is a trap. The way to avoid this trap is also very simple, that is, don't cut off Medusa's head, but this also means giving up the inheritance.

"A guy with bad taste."

Blaze shook the huge Medusa head in his hand. He was curious about what the real body of this Gorgon looked like, so he turned his head and pushed aside the limp snake hair.

Of course, he didn't open his eyes to look, because he could still perceive Medusa's appearance from a blind perspective.

But Blaze miscalculated. The moment he saw Medusa's appearance clearly, he opened his eyes in shock. The snake didn't even have time to stop it, and gray spread in his eyes.

The head fell to the ground from Blaze's gradually petrifying hands. The anxious calls of the snake and Amaterasu gradually faded away. Medusa's pale, closed-eye face was imprinted in Blaze's mind.

That is clearly Athena's face!

This Medusa is actually the abandoned body of the goddess Athena!

The entire huge heart island began to beat. A huge arm stretched out from the ground. The headless body of the goddess drilled out of the ground and slowly picked up the head on the ground.

[Demon Goddess Gorgon LV300]

Countless cracks spread from Blaze's heart to the surrounding areas.

【Metamorphosis Z】

[Curse resistance LV1-LV2-LV3-LV4...]

The Demonic Goddess raised her head and screamed silently. Her huge body moved slowly, and was about to crush Blaze, who had not yet been petrified. A silver light flew from a distance and hit the Demonic Goddess's head straight.

The silver light turned miraculously and fell into the hands of the thrower.

"Heroes, Deng Deng——"

Perseus' eyes twitched as he looked at the huge body in front of him, and he couldn't pronounce the last word.

Now he understood from his own experience what it meant to not take on a job if you don't have the skills.

Chapter 680: Interrupting Despair in a Manly Way

The hero Perseus makes his debut, but soon finds himself in deep crisis.

On one side was the demon goddess Medusa, who was at level 300, and on the other side was the naked son of Zeus. The gap was so big that Perseus' life was in danger from the moment they started competing on the same stage.

However, compared to his own crisis, Perseus was more shocked by Medusa's appearance.

"My face?" Perseus turned his back to the demon goddess Medusa and saw Medusa's face clearly through the reflection of Blaze's shield.

Now he knew why Blaze was petrified. The amount of information represented by this face that looked exactly like his goddess body made him unable to help but look back.

That was undoubtedly the body of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, which he had abandoned.

The blood from the Titan god was inherited, causing the soulless body to continue to grow and expand, and finally turned into the giant Gorgon Medusa.

"Demon Goddess... So you are my ghost?" Perseus gradually understood the cause and effect, and realized that everything is a cycle of cause and effect.

The current loss is retribution.

In order to obtain the right to inherit the title of "King of Olympus", the goddess of wisdom gave up her body and became Perseus, and the abandoned body became the decoration needed in the inheritance ceremony of the shield Aegis.

She strangled her own goddess body with her own hands, making it ugly, and she cut off her own head again when she completed the trial of the shield Aegis.

For the position of [King of Olympus], she killed herself twice without hesitation.

When facing the sleeping Medusa, she had the opportunity to look back. If she had seen Medusa's face through the shield Aegis, she would have been understood.

But Perseus did not hesitate to cut off Medusa's head with the sickle in his hand, grabbed the magic bag and ran away laughing like a madman.

"What a funny story."

Perseus swung the round shield in his hand, and it hit the head of the demon goddess Medusa hard, and bounced back into Perseus' hand after several bounces.

That heavy impact was the weight of the choices she had made in the past.
