Nobody knows how to be a villain better than me.

To fight against Zeus, the god of machines, and to seek a glimmer of hope in a desperate situation, one must not only risk Triton's life, but also Jason's own!

This is the price to pay.

Samael paused for a moment, then lowered his hand, picked up the jar of wine from the ground, and took a few gulps.

"Dude, actually, being with you guys isn't easy..."

Your wisdom, Peleus's magnanimity, Hercules's bravery, the eldest sister's archery skills... each of you is a favorite of fate, a born hero...

I worked hard at the College of Athens.

However, as an ordinary person with little talent, I can't catch up with your talent even after a lifetime of hard work. Sometimes I feel both envious and jealous.

So all those honors, achievements, and promises that you value are not as valuable to me as a few gold coins and the throne in my home.

Last time, I could leave you all behind from Atlantis without much burden, because in this life I can only be an ordinary person who craves luxury…

Jason raised his hand to shield his eyes from the blinding sunlight streaming through the gap, and began to speak his mind. Then, he changed the subject, a smug smile playing on his lips.

"But this time, I did what none of you could do! I created an unprecedented miracle!"

At this moment, among the ordinary people gathered around heroes, those who turned to look at Samael saw an unusual radiance on his blood-stained face.

"So, do I... look like a hero now?"

"No, you always have been!"

Samael raised his hand and placed it on Jason's shoulder, with unprecedented seriousness.

The true measure of a hero is not strength, but actions. Power is not the most important factor; behavior is the standard of judgment.

Calydon goes hunting and helps his friend Meleagerlus save his people;

At a royal banquet, he resolved his inner conflict with his idol, Hercules.

Humble yourself and help Hera, who has been transformed into an old woman, cross the river to complete the divine trial;

The Golden Fleece voyage, a testament to both wisdom and courage, led the crew to a safe return.

A hero is someone who is aware of their own flaws but is able to overcome their inherent weaknesses.

The Argonauts' expedition crossed the desolate sea, risking their lives to seize that one in ten thousand chance!

He was not a perfect man, but he was certainly worthy of the name of a hero!

Faced with such an answer, Jason was stunned for a moment, then smiled freely, as if a huge burden had been lifted, and tilted his head back, closed his eyes, and murmured.

"Haha... Now even if we run into them... we'll finally have a new heroic tale to brag about!"

Snapped……

The pale fingers that had been resting on his knees fell to the ground, and the sound gradually faded away. The hero, who came from an ordinary life yet created something extraordinary, had a satisfied smile on his face and the corners of his lips turned up. It seemed that he was telling a story vividly in his eternal sleep.

This is a voyage of adventure and honor...

This is a journey about death and hope...

This is a human myth created by a group of people gathered on the same ship, who do not rely on gods and are called "Argonus"...

This is...a heroic tale belonging to Jason!

Chapter 305 The Scourge of God

Well then, it's time to say goodbye.

My friend, Jason…

Samael finished his drink, took a step, and disappeared into the spatial rift. The interstellar city mountain range, now without support, collapsed and fell onto the continent of Atlantis, forming a magnificent tomb.

On the Sea of ​​Oceanus, the ancient serpent gazed at the gradually disintegrating interstellar city mountain range and the vast Atlantis, its expression calm and profound, yet the corners of its mouth inadvertently curled up slightly.

Yes, it's just a temporary farewell, not a final goodbye.

Because, perhaps soon, they will meet again.

Not only with Jason, but also with all the Argonautical heroes who died on this journey...

The answer to the question of how to gather the souls of the dead and allow them to be reborn with flesh is naturally the divine seal!

Just before the Argo set sail, Samael took over the front-line defenses, and Zeus urgently retreated to Athens. The purpose of those three hours was to secretly imprint divine marks on the Argo heroes who were going to war, to protect their souls from perishment.

Once they die, the consciousness of the Argonauts automatically flows back to Elysium, awaiting the reunion of their souls and the regeneration of their bodies.

The reason the Argonauts weren't told this was because simply being fearless wasn't enough to create a miracle and seize that one in ten thousand chance.

They have to fight desperately to survive in dangerous situations in order to have a chance to turn the tide!

And indeed, that was the case.

He won the bet.

As for what comes next, he will naturally wait for these old friends to be resurrected in Elysium as heroic spirits, at which time he will personally celebrate the victory of these Argonaut heroes.

However, the divine seal is not omnipotent. The time it takes for each hero to return varies, and it may take some time to reunite the group on the Argo.

Fortunately, he has plenty of time.

Of course, Samael must have been taking precautions to prevent Zeus from using his old friends for his own purposes.

Not only has Hecate, the owner of the spinning wheel of fate, stood by his side, but Medea, the future mistress of Elysium, is also an insurance policy.

As for that night, risking the complete collapse of the front lines to ensure the survival of the Argonauts, whether it was worth the gamble was already clear in Samael's mind.

Those who carry firewood for the masses should not be left to freeze to death in the wind and snow;

Those who pave the way for the world should not be made to be trapped in thorns;

Those who are going to their deaths with hope must not be left to despair!

He will truly regret it if he doesn't do something about it.

Suddenly, Samael sensed something and turned to look at Zeus's eyes, which were flashing with lightning. His serpentine eyes met Zeus's eyes, which were flashing with lightning.

Undisguised scrutiny and apprehension collided fiercely in the air, creating a stagnant and oppressive atmosphere.

With the external enemy eliminated, what comes next is...

Click!

Just as the atmosphere between the two god-kings was becoming increasingly delicate, the almost transparent sky shattered like glass.

hum!

In the expanding, dark void, an arm stretching for thousands of miles, composed entirely of milky-white light patterns, slowly pressed down. Its slightly curved five fingers probed into the Oceanus Sea, retrieving the wreckage of the starship from the ruins of Atlantis.

“Aaaa!”

At the same time, the Origin Goddess Tiamat's expression changed drastically, her cross-shaped pupils suddenly contracted, and she radiated a dazzling and powerful light towards the giant hand of light.

However, the hole pierced by the giant hand healed in just a few breaths, and the Origin Goddess then uttered a high-pitched hymn, overflowing with anger and restlessness.

The only thing that could make Tina lose her composure like this is...

Samael's gaze was fixed, his face grim, and he forced out the difficult words through clenched teeth.

King of Kings - Marduk!

Or perhaps, he should be called—God Jehovah!

boom!

At this moment, with a slight exertion of force from the index finger and thumb of the giant hand, the metal shell exploded into particles, revealing a tiny crystal shaped like a teardrop, which shone brightly in the sunlight, with an infinite galaxy faintly visible within it.

"He wants to seize the broken core of Sefalu!"

Marduk's sudden appearance made Samuelton sense something was wrong, his expression changed drastically, and he immediately shouted a warning to Zeus beside him.

The growth potential of the Star Vanguard is insane! What's more, this thing has some kind of connection with the Tear Star Wilpa.

Even if the core of Sefalu is damaged, keeping it would still be a menace!

You are the lightning that tears stars apart!

Hymn of God's Grace!

In an instant, Zeus and Samael acted in perfect unison, their blue-white lightning and red-black inverted cross striking the claw that reached out from the void.

boom!

However, amidst the violent explosion, the luminous arm quickly healed the wound and accelerated its withdrawal, while the fingers and palms had already retreated into the great rift in the void in the blink of an eye.

"core!"

Samael frowned and roared, rising into the air and arching his body backward in an exaggerated arc. The cross-shaped spear, which was being frantically infused with power, ignited with blazing red and black flames, poised to fire like a ballista.

Zeus immediately understood, and the lightning-shaped spear of light instantly coalesced in his hand.

laugh!laugh!

Arcs of light streaked across the sky, simultaneously striking the golden-blue star core held in the giant's palm. As they collided, a surging wave of ether exploded with a deafening roar.

Instantly, the star core, which had been hit squarely, disintegrated and broke into several large and small shimmering crystals, which floated away into the void.

The blazing white fingers and palms, which had re-condensed, immediately grasped and gathered the drifting chips.

Dream on! Spatial interference!

Just then, the figure with wings of light fluttering in the air smiled coldly, his snake eyes opening and closing as he reached out and grasped something with his fingers.

In an instant, the cross-shaped spear thrown near the giant hand began to hum and vibrate, twisting and transforming into a jet-black scythe that slashed and cut through the void.

As the power of spatial destruction was activated, silver-gray cracks formed all around, preemptively swallowing up the fragments of Sefalu after it collapsed, and throwing them away to who knows where.

"My whip! My blade! Damn serpent, it's you again!"

An angry roar came from the void, the sound of gnashing teeth conveying extreme hatred.

Long whip... Star core fragment...

Suddenly, Samael's expression changed drastically as a certain word stirred up long-forgotten memories.

After Sephalus's star core disintegrates, his main body will drift to other world bubbles and be reborn as a swordswoman girl named Attila. She will lead the Huns, ravage Rome, and establish her vast empire.

And she was given the title of—the Scourge of God!

"You're the one who lured the Planetary Vanguard here!"

Having figured out the key to it, Samael instantly understood why Marduk, the mantis, had appeared so coincidentally. He immediately glared at him coldly, and a strong sense of crisis overwhelmed him.

If all of this is a conspiracy, then the moment when the true colors are revealed will be shown!

At the same time, a golden beam of light pierced through the shattered world wall and projected itself into the sky above Greece, looking down from above with a sinister gaze.

"A bunch of fools, you've realized it too late! You ants, from now on, will become the ladder for my ascension to godhood!"

Chapter 306 Using Ourselves as Fuel, The Voyage Has Begun!

At this moment, the King of Kings raised his hand high and summoned a full golden Holy Grail from the silvery-white vortex gate, then poured it downwards.

Zizi!

The reddish-black mud, burning like magma, poured onto the cracks in the world wall, instantly melting and decomposing them, and splitting into mycelium-like reddish-black patterns that spread and eroded outwards at a visible speed.

At the same time, a chilling, ethereal sound came from the sky, echoing in all directions.

"Declaration: I command the killing, I command the life; what I wound, I heal."

Nothing can surpass me, nothing can escape ...

To destroy it.

I will call back the disabled and the old.

Entrust to me, learn from me, and follow me.

During the rest time, I have not forgotten to sing, I have not forgotten to pray, I have not forgotten myself.

With my lightness, I lay aside all burdens and rest in my hands.

Anointed and branded for your sins.

Eternal life is given by death, forgiveness is in the present moment, and I swear by my flesh.

This World Honored One, whose name is Holy, prays that my Kingdom may come forth, and that my will may be carried out on the earth as if obeying the heavens!
