Nobody knows how to be a villain better than me.

In an instant, without the protection and coordination of the coastal wall, thousands of Colossi stepped onto the shore, wielding light-like spears, and destroyed all obstacles and barriers in sight.

The earth cracked and everything was scorched along the way. Everywhere you looked, there was thick smoke and scorched earth.

Following closely behind were humanoid combat weapons, the deep-sea fleet, and creations of the Erkedna Armory, which surged in like a tide, ruthlessly and resolutely annihilating the sensed civilization entities one by one.

"With these tears of lamentation, let us sing the elegy of civilization—Crest of the Stars: Demise!"

With his language becoming increasingly fluent and aloof, Sefalu, his chest throbbing as he chanted, gripped the God of War's sword with both hands, its blade pointing upwards. The star core within his body spun rapidly, and the golden-blue star patterns on his skin shone and surged, like a river, widely drawing in the surrounding ether.

The halo that followed the rotation in mid-air reconnected with the teardrop-shaped meteorite projection, and a series of ring-shaped magic arrays took shape one after another.

Guided and focused by these halos, light projectiles, like a meteor shower, plummeted from the sky, shooting towards the sea and the coastline in a swarm.

Seeing that they were already locked in a fierce battle with another Star Guardian, Medusa and her companions, exhausted and on the verge of becoming the primary targets of attack.

At the critical moment, a dark arc of light slashed diagonally from the coast. A crescent-shaped beam of light, seemingly slow but actually swift, pierced through the air, like a scissor tearing open a long, narrow, dark slit along its path, as if trying to sever the world.

Parallel space interference—distortion!

At this moment, Samael, who had spread his wings and arrived, had veins bulging on his forehead and his fingers clenched in front of him.

The narrow spatial fracture that had been torn open earlier expanded, and its gloomy interior swallowed up the star-patterned light bullets released by Sefalu.

Then, silver-gray light patterns bloomed around the Star Vanguard, and the star-patterned light bullets that had previously entered the spatial rift zone slammed into the thing like a meteor shower.

This obstruction caused the star soldier to pause slightly, and Medusa immediately spread her pale yellow wings and retreated.

Prometheus blew a whistle, summoning his old companion, the Caucasian Eagle, who grabbed its talons and also retreated from the battlefield shrouded in star rings.

At this moment, the cross spear in the ancient serpent's hand had been unleashed into the original form of the Scythe of Cronus.

“Laaaa!”

After this attack, Sefalu clearly set his sights on his former rival. While chanting a hymn, the sword of the God of War in his hand transformed into a magnificent rainbow pillar, sweeping towards Samael with the force of a thunderbolt.

Amidst the raging ethereal turbulence, the ancient serpent, barely managing to raise its hand to block the seven-colored pillar of light, was sent flying after only a moment.

"boom!"

A figure swooped down, its pale yellow wings unfurling, and caught Samael, who was falling like a meteor.

The ancient snake, nestled in soft surroundings, slightly opened its eyelids and saw that cool and mature face. Its tense heartstrings relaxed involuntarily.

The Gorgon's mature, older sister style? A cheerful type, indeed, this look is the most alluring.

However, after several fierce battles, both of them were severely depleted of their divine power. Under the power of Sefalu's synchronized attack, Medusa, who had displayed her divine and monstrous appearance, could not hold on for long and plummeted towards the coastline.

However, the two were already seasoned veterans and had excellent teamwork. So, before Medusa could lose control due to exhaustion, Samael had already forcibly summoned his cross spear, inserted the weapon into the soil, and dissipated the remaining force, finally landing safely.

As soon as they regained their footing, the surrounding colossi and battle golems swarmed towards them like sharks that had smelled blood.

"Roar!"

"Wang Woo!"

"hiss!"

Meanwhile, the roars of beasts echoed across the land. The Typhon offspring, including the Colchis, Cerberus, and Hydra, stirred up the aether and rampaged through the monster horde.

The well-coordinated monsters pounced, bit, and tore at Samael and Medusa, or spat out magical venom, creating a shower of severed limbs and fragments. They fought and retreated, safely escorting them to rejoin the main force that had retreated to the next defensive line.

The ancient snake took the energy potion prepared by the medical god, drank it all in one gulp, and recovered a little. He looked around and frowned.

In the direction of Athens, Zeus is leading the Olympian gods in a fierce battle against the wandering star warrior. Although he has a slight advantage, this thing can constantly reassemble itself from its broken state, making it very troublesome.

The Peloponnese Peninsula, which had held out for several hours, saw its plan to prevent the landing of the asteroid scouts completely collapse as the coastal wall crumbled.

One of the three lines of defense has already been destroyed by the city-states, and it's only a matter of time before the remaining two are destroyed.

At this moment, the high walls and magical barriers of the second line of defense are now filled with countless monsters, and nearly a quarter of the Peloponnese peninsula has fallen.

Moreover, given the characteristics of the Star Vanguard, the longer the time drags on, the slimmer their chances of victory become.

Desperate situation...

Samael pressed himself against the edge of the city wall, watching the ever-worsening situation with a helpless sigh. His darting eyes, however, landed on the back of a certain wise god-king, and he muttered to himself.

Or, how about we find a teammate to sacrifice?

For some reason, Zeus, who was in the upper hand on the Aegean battlefield and had successfully suppressed the star warriors in front of him, hadn't even had a chance to catch his breath when he felt a chill down his spine and a strange shiver.

Chapter 261 None of us are good people (2/2)

The Peloponnese Peninsula, the second line of defense, is experiencing fierce fighting.

Samael spread his fingers and looked at the golden ouroboros phantom in his palm, composed of intricate wedge-shaped divine patterns, with its head and tail intertwined. He sighed slightly, then suddenly clenched his fingers into a fist and crushed it instantly. Golden ripples spread across the surface of the Oceanus Sea.

puff……

At this moment, after crushing the phantom of the ouroboros, the power contained within it backfired and collided. The ancient snake turned pale, spat out a mouthful of blood, looked weak, and swayed precariously.

Meanwhile, on the stormy sea, Saifalu, his body shimmering with star patterns, looked towards this place, clearly having locked onto his nemesis.

Immediately afterwards, the star soldier decisively raised its seven-colored lightsaber, and the light wheel that was spinning obscurely in mid-air slowly adjusted its direction, aiming the ring at the area where Samael was located, and a seven-colored beam of light slammed down.

Just as the weakened ancient serpent was about to be annihilated by the sharp-eyed Sefalu, thunder roared in the sky, and a bolt of silver-white lightning pierced through the air from behind, forcefully splitting the seven-colored pillar of light in two.

"Hey, you're here?"

Samael smiled with narrowed eyes, and before he could speak further, the giant warriors under Sefalu's command immediately swung their arms and threw out the light-shaped spears in their hands.

Zeus's face darkened, and he immediately raised his divine shield to block the powerful impacts. At the same time, he turned to look at the guy behind him who was leaning against the side of the city wall with his arms crossed, looking lazy and carefree. Zeus's facial muscles twitched slightly, and he frowned and snorted coldly.

"Did you seal the [Forbidden Restriction of the Gods] and set up this restriction to harm me?"

"Same here. Didn't you plant a Pandora's box back then and trick me?"

"So, you're the one manipulating Mount Ares behind it all? And that black serpent that devoured the Box of Original Sin back then? That damned worm, it really was harboring evil intentions all along!"

"Come on, you imprisoned your father, devoured your wife, and harmed your children. If you want to bring up old grievances, your own ass isn't necessarily cleaner than mine."

Samael rolled his eyes and exchanged insults with Zeus with a cold laugh.

I'm not pretending anymore; nobody here is any better.

Just as the two god-kings of Mount Ares and Olympus were exchanging barbs and insults, two star soldiers who had once again set out to operate in the Stormy Sea released two colorful beams of light, breaking through the magic barrier of the second line of defense layer by layer, dismantling another layer of the flank defense at the front of the Peloponnese like peeling an onion.

Immediately, the aftershocks of the explosion caused the entire Greek continent to tremble violently.

The two deities, who harbored considerable resentment towards each other, decisively snorted and fell silent, temporarily keeping each other's grievances in mind.

"You actually dare to risk self-harm to break the seal? Aren't you afraid that I will wipe out the entire War God Mountain in the future?"

Zeus narrowed his eyes, his face grim.

"That's for later. It's your turn to step up now. Let's focus on living through the present, Your Majesty the God-King."

Samael responded calmly, showing no fear whatsoever.

Zeus looked deeply at his opponent, who had repeatedly caused him headaches, with a meaningful gaze.

"You should be thankful that the [Forbidden Taboos of the Gods] were originally intended to deal with the Cataclysm of the Stars, not you!"

The God of Wisdom snorted coldly, raised his Thunder Scepter, and with a series of thunderous roars, it crashed down towards the coastal waters, causing the divine power in the sky to pulsate.

Golden beams of light, resembling doors, converged and solidified from the sea surface.

Wow!

As the light patterns rippled, deafening roars echoed from the deep-sea whirlpools. One by one, the liberated Titans, Typhon monsters, and ancient Greek gods burst forth from the abyss of Tartarus, like wild beasts seeing the light of day again, and began to fight madly against the monsters that roamed the sea.

The unstoppable offensive momentum of the Yuxing Vanguard was forcefully contained.

"Boom!"

Immediately afterwards, Mount Etna erupted violently, billowing thick black smoke and dust, and amidst continuous roars, the entire mountain began to collapse.

"Hoo hoo hoo hoo!"

In an instant, hundreds of ferocious heads, resembling dragons and snakes, roared as they emerged from the crater and the collapsing mountain, their grotesque forms seemingly designed to explain the meaning of slaughter and terror.

When this monster, accompanied by scattering volcanic ash and flowing lava, fell into the sea, the seawater evaporated in large quantities.

In an instant, dark clouds gathered, the sky turned as black as ink, and black wind pillars, like sharp swords piercing the heavens and earth, continuously condensed around the monster, churning the sea into chaos.

Thousands of humanoid combatants and deep-sea warships were swallowed up by the devastating storms and giant waves, and were eventually torn to pieces.

In a fleeting glance, the people on land were astonished to see that in the center of each of the monster's heads was a lightning bolt-shaped divine mark, shining brightly.

Typhon, the King of Monsters!

Holy crap, even Zeus's seal has been corrupted!

Watching Typhon being driven forward, stirring up the sea, Samael's eyelids twitched, deeply shocked.

"Buzz!"

Just then, the cross-shaped spear in the ancient serpent's hand, which was pointed towards a certain spot on the sea, trembled slightly.

As the pillar-like portal leading straight to the abyss was opened by towering figures, not only Samael, but also Themis and Poseidon who followed, all had slight changes in expression.

The three on the left are three hundred-armed giants; the three in the middle are the three Otyrannical Titans imprisoned during the war between the old and new gods, including the second-generation god Cronus, the Titan of Soul and Death Iapetus, etc., who are all in the ranks, and Samael's cross spear reacted for this reason; the few on the right seem to be the old gods, large and small, who have been dormant.

However, the eyes of these prisoners retained only the most primal ferocity and indifference, clearly indicating that they had all become puppets after Zeus eroded divine authority.

The number Hades summoned in the underworld was less than one-tenth of these divine puppets.

As expected of the "forbidden by the gods"! All those defeated, weakened, and silent gods were actually controlled by Zeus, who also eroded their divine authority.

With this level of trump card, in a fair fight, it would be enough to stand against the two rebellious pantheons, Mount Ares and the Temple of the Sea God.

"Fortunately, this was prepared for the Star Trek Vanguard."

Samael breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the finally contained wave of foreign enemies, though he couldn't help feeling lingering fear.

At the same time, the ancient serpent looked at Zeus, who was fully controlling the divine puppet, and a deep sense of fear appeared in its eyes.

"Your Majesty, you really show no mercy..."

Zeus glanced at Samael indifferently and spoke coldly.

"The most feasible way is to gather all of Greece's strength to fight against the Star Calamity!"

The gods possess an even stronger arrogance and a more intense desire for personal gain. Even though I have repeatedly declared that the giants will eventually descend, how many of them will be willing to obey my commands without reservation and to fight with all their might in this war that concerns the very survival of Olympus?

Zeus turned to look behind him, and Poseidon, the god of the sea, lowered his head awkwardly and gloomily, speechless.

Samael fell silent. It seemed that he too had become a stumbling block for Zeus in unifying divine authority and fighting against natural disasters, and suddenly lost the confidence to criticize Zeus.

However, even if this wise god-king had the intention to save Greece, his starting point was not necessarily pure. This was just a necessary step for him to achieve divine supremacy, and there was no need to praise him so highly.

Just as the ancient serpent was about to say a few polite words to ease the atmosphere and discuss the next steps, he suddenly remembered the words Zeus had just mentioned, and his expression froze.

Colossi... war... a matter of life and death for Olympus?

The Third Crisis of Olympus – The War of the Titans!

Wow, so that's how it is!

Samael slapped his forehead, suddenly realizing what he had done, and was both amused and exasperated.

Chapter 262 Put the pot away, Uncle, I'm innocent (1/3)

Legend has it that the reign of Olympus would be subject to three crises of war.

These are the Battle of the Titans, the Battle of Typhon, the Battle of the Colossi...

The Titans War, also known as the War of the Old and New Gods, was the earliest of the wars. It was named after Olympus's attempt to overthrow the rule of the twelve Titans of Otyria and continue divine authority.

The Battle of Typhon, which occurred in the middle of the story, was initiated by the King of Monsters. Countless monsters, some emerging from the seabed and others hatched from volcanoes, nearly overwhelmed Olympus.

The final battle of the giants, known as "Gigantomachy," means "battle against giants" in Greek. However, only a few records remain about it, and the time, cause, process, and result are all quite vague. Therefore, it is also known as "a mysterious battle that is not even accurately recorded in history."

Samael only vaguely remembered that it seemed to be a giant who ruled over a continent called Mu, who came from the sea and launched a full-scale invasion of Olympus.

This war was extremely fierce, with even humans participating in the defense of Olympus.

Mu Continent—Atlantis…

Colossus - Planetary Vanguard...

The white colossus that appeared on Earth's surface possessed the passive ability "Gigantification," which not only allowed it to grow larger by destroying and absorbing civilizations, but also spread this gigantification phenomenon to native organisms, driving these gigantified creatures to destroy Earth's civilization.

Because this virus-like ability distorts the proper appearance of these life forms, these protozoa are also collapsing one by one as they run around destroying Earth's civilization.
