Nobody knows how to be a villain better than me.

The Academy of Athens was not meant to train people to echo the gods, but rather to teach humanity how to leave the cradle, break free from ignorance without divine protection, think independently, grow independently, and become strong independently.

However, at the time, this argument was nothing short of heretical.

Fortunately, among the participants in the discussion, one was the prophet who created man, one was a wise and heroic mentor, one was a goddess of justice who advocated reason and order, and one was a goddess of wisdom who guided critical thinking. None of them were overly dependent on or attached to the supreme divine authority.

In retrospect, since Athena came to power, she has consistently pursued a strategy of enlightening wisdom and dispelling ignorance, and thus was revered as a spiritual mentor by the Athenian Academy.

This is why Athens had a wealth of talent, enabling it to win the two Greco-Persian Wars despite being the weaker side.

Historically, the Greeks were more committed to scholarship, dared to think critically, dared to question, and dared to explore. Their superstition about gods was far less than that of empires such as Rome, Persia, and Egypt.

Thanks to this environment, the origins of Western civilization were born and took shape.

However, before Samael could linger in this contemplation of the past and present for long, Habi, the academically challenged student next to him who was getting dizzy from listening, hurriedly dragged him to look at other places.

Soon, after passing through the main camp of regular troops and various important checkpoints that were not conducive to the deployment of large-scale forces, the ancient serpent was surprised to see a tight defense from top to bottom, a three-in-one system.

High in the sky, the Norse Valkyrie legions flapped their swan wings, scattered across the battlefield, overlooking the entire situation and transmitting battlefield information at any time.

Inside the battlements, Roman Amazonian warriors, longbows in hand, patrolled and surveyed the battlefield, their eyes fixed on the front lines.

In the low to medium altitude range, there were tiny creatures with dragonfly-shaped transparent wings, about an inch in size, covered in exquisite armor, and wielding divinely crafted weapons.

The Greek battle nymphs? They've actually come!

Samael recognized the identities of these newly arrived reinforcements at a glance, and a look of surprise appeared between his brows.

With the decline of the divine age and the thinning of ether, the surface is no longer suitable for these little creatures to live on. The sheer number of these battle nymphs gathered here is at least a thousand, which is simply unbelievable.

Just as the ancient snake was stunned, a gray eagle, nearly ten meters long, swooped down from the sky, chirping.

"Samael! Samael!"

As the giant eagle folded its wings and plummeted, a bright, blonde, adorable girl screamed and opened her arms, like a swallow throwing itself into Samael's chest.

cough cough...

Caught off guard, the ancient snake nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood due to the shock to his internal organs. His face was contorted with anger, and he quickly held down the blonde girl who was rubbing against him, asking her questions warily.

"May I ask who's calling?"

"How awful! You actually forgot about me!"

The blonde girl glared angrily, looking quite dissatisfied, like an innocent girl abandoned by a scumbag. Samael racked his brains, filtering the options repeatedly, and shook his head seriously.

He has a good memory; if anything unspeakable had really happened between him and the girl in front of him, he would definitely remember it!

In addition, Samael admitted that he was a scumbag, well, a snake scumbag.

But upon closer examination, all the people he rejected were those with whom he had accumulated a certain level of affection. Even in the thousands of years in Northern Europe, it was only by chance that he sparked a romance with his real wife, Skadi.

Scáthach was an accident in a dress-up game, Hippolyta's sacrifice was due to the imminent Day of Saving and Rest, and the debauchery on the Argonauts was the culmination of a thousand years of waiting.

Moreover, he can't even say for sure who slept with whom or who suffered more.

As for the rest, such as Boudica, Brunhilde, and even the three Valkyries, Helen, and other beauties, he only talked about them. If he really used any means necessary, he would have already slept with them.

As for Nero and Attila, sorry, he's not a loli-loving person.

Therefore, it seems that I am not yet so eager as to develop a one-night stand with this girl I have never met.

To ensure everything went perfectly, Samael lowered his eyes and glanced at the blonde girl's chest, nodding to himself.

Yes, that's right, not my type.

"Idiot, you're too big! You should change your appearance!"

Happy, standing nearby, expertly patted the blonde girl's head and pointed to the little creature flying in the sky, unusually being clever and giving her a serious reminder.

The blonde girl suddenly realized what was happening, and with a surge of ethereal light around her, her 1.6-meter height instantly shrank to the size of a 3-inch Thumbelina.

"Now, you should remember, right?"

"Daphne!"

Upon seeing this, Samael closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead, then uttered the name of the old acquaintance before him.

"Hehe, that's right!"

"What are you doing here? And what's your connection to these fighting nymphs?"

"After the Trojan War, when my cousin Artemis left, she left her battle nymphs in the Arima Crypt, and I was in charge of leading them. Before entering Elysium, all the nearby companions joined us! Now that we heard you were in trouble, we came here specifically to help! Pretty loyal, right?"

The charming little nymph proudly put her hands on her hips, raised her chin high, and made a pleasant nasal sound, very satisfied with her dazzling appearance.

Artemis is so thoughtful; it truly shows the strong bond they share after being friends for so long.

After learning the reason, Samael recalled his former friends and felt a warm feeling in his heart.

Chapter 174: The Skull-Crushing Killer by His Own Sister!

With the Valkyries from Northern Europe, the Amazonian warriors from Rome, and the newly added Greek combat nymphs, his high-tier troops have expanded considerably, giving him an absolute advantage.

Even with the power of Mithra, the goddess of light, the flame spirit Ifrit in the Persian lamp was no match for the Greeks' aerial defenses.

Samael's thoughts raced, and he nodded in satisfaction, his expression becoming even more relaxed.

To express its gratitude, the ancient snake tossed out a bag of snacks to its chattering nymph friends gathered nearby, which were quickly snatched up by the little creatures.

Daphne, whose reflexes were too slow, wrinkled her nose and looked frustrated when she realized she hadn't managed to grab many.

However, as she felt a weight in her arms, Xiao Ningfu looked at the small bag that someone had secretly stuffed into her hands, and her expression immediately changed from gloomy to sunny. She carefully looked around, then picked up her loot and sneakily pocketed it.

Such preferential treatment made her beam with joy. Like a little dragonfly, she bumped into Samael's face, gave him a quick peck, and then happily flapped her little wings and flew to a secluded corner to continue enjoying her meal alone.

Samael paused slightly, lightly rubbing a damp spot on his cheek with his thumb, then chuckled and shook his head. This girl's personality was still as impulsive as ever.

Gulu...

The ancient snake glanced at the silly bird staring straight at it and unconsciously swallowing, then reached out and pulled out another bag of snacks, unzipped it, and handed it to Happy.

"If you want some, help yourself."

The harpy, its appetite whetted, had its eyes light up and eagerly pulled out its remaining contents, swallowing them whole.

The small fruit, with its richer sweet and sour taste than honey, greatly increased Habi's appetite, and he started taking fruit out of his pocket more and more frequently.

Seeing this, Samael simply tossed the whole bag to the silly bird next to him, appearing very generous.

After all, it was taken from the Temple of Wisdom, so he wasn't worried about it.

A certain unscrupulous foster father blinked innocently, raised his hand, threw a salted olive into his mouth and chewed it, a pleased smile curving his lips.

Boom!

Just as Samael was plundering his adopted daughter's secret stash, the clear sky suddenly became overcast, and a series of branching, silvery-white lightning bolts exploded. In the fleeting light and shadow, the outlines of two ferocious and majestic beasts, one black and one white, were revealed.

Click!

A flash of lightning struck the black behemoth that was flying at the front. In the instant that its movements paused for a moment, a barrage of hail, gale, meteors, and explosive flames bombarded the thing without stopping.

"boom!"

Instantly, the monster, hit by concentrated fire, plummeted to the ground, billowing black smoke, and landed right in front of Samael.

boom!

In the blink of an eye, the monster had just climbed out of the deep pit and hadn't even recovered when a stream of silver etheric light descended from the sky, forming an impact like a meteorite that precisely struck the creature on the forehead.

"Ow..."

Accompanied by billowing dust, piercing screams echoed from the cone-shaped pit.

boom!boom!boom!boom!

That wasn't all; the ground shook violently, and the soil churned up.

"Spit it out!"

At the source of the sound, a little girl with silver hair, golden eyes, white bat wings on her back, and fine silver scales on her tail and joints rode on the neck of the black monster, raising her pink and white fists and slamming them into the monster's forehead again and again like falling meteors.

Based on the outline of the black monster, Samael could vaguely make out that it looked like a giant dragon.

But this dignified dragon was beaten like a punching bag by the silver-haired little girl's pink fists. He saw stars, his face was bruised and swollen, and he seemed powerless to fight back. In the end, he fainted straight.

boom!

The ferocious dragon head drooped limply to the ground. The silver-haired loli jumped down from the top of the giant dragon's head, skillfully pried open the beast's ferocious upper jaw, and stuffed her other arm into the black dragon's throat, groping around for a while.

"no……"

A moment later, the silver-haired loli glanced at the two gold bricks she had pulled from the black dragon's throat and casually tossed them on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the little girl, who was half her height, simply used the flagpole to prop up the black dragon's big mouth and jumped into his throat to continue exploring.

"It's not this...it's not this either...nothing's right..."

As the black dragon mumbled coldly from its mouth, one item after another was thrown out.

"found it!"

Finally, after extracting nearly a hundred pounds of various treasures from the black dragon's throat and stomach, a slightly cheerful voice rang out. The silver-haired loli held two inferior Earth Hearts in her left hand and three "Athena's Bronze" in her right hand, examining them with satisfaction in the sunlight.

"How dare they steal from the boss! They deserve to be beaten up!"

Harpy, who was watching from the sidelines, had a look of schadenfreude on his face.

"This is Ladon, and... the Korkis dragon? With such a heavy blow, will this guy be alright?"

Samael's facial muscles were stiff and his voice was dry.

"It's okay, he won't die! In less than half a day, this guy will be jumping around again."

Harpy waved his hands repeatedly, looking completely used to it, clearly having witnessed his older sister knocking out her younger brother more than once.

Considering the creature's merit in turning to the light during the Golden Fleece voyage, and the few gems it secretly offered him, Samael hesitated, wanting to intervene and prevent the Korkis dragon from ending up dead in the street.

But the Greeks who rushed over upon hearing the commotion found, to varying degrees, their missing items among the ever-growing mountain of stolen goods, and gasped in astonishment.

"Ah, my gilded family crest!"

"My ruby ​​pendant!"

"Damn it, how come the whole set of gilded wine vessels from the kitchen is here!"

"Wait, why are there so many Persian gold coins? It looks like something stolen from the warehouse!"

Watching hundreds of victims retrieve their lost items with Ladon's tacit approval, Gu She's face darkened, filled with righteous indignation.

You raided the dragon's lair in Arima's crypt and stole offerings from the sacred grove of Colchis. I knew you wouldn't change your ways!

Fight! Fight them to the death! Support the victim's righteous revenge; I will never forgive evil!

The ancient serpent inwardly condemned this shameless act with righteous indignation and quietly pulled Harpy away.

However, after walking only a few steps, the dense forest ahead shook violently, the sound of trees breaking was incessant, and flocks of birds took flight in fright.

"hiss!"

In an instant, nine jet-black snake heads burst out of the pool, hissing sharply, their eyes, like lanterns, as red as blood.

"Ouch!"

At the same time, the three dog heads bristled and growled. One of their hind legs, which had been raised towards the pool, trembled and fell back down. The water dripping from their bellies tightened instantly. With a burst of strength from their four paws, they leaped far away. After baring their teeth and giving a fierce but cowardly look, they decisively turned and ran away.

Immediately afterwards, the enraged Hydra caught up with Cerberus, the three-headed dog of hell. The snake and the dog intertwined and tore at each other, leaving a trail of dust in their wake.

Can't you find a better spot to pee? Why did you end up at the doorway where the Hydra sleeps?!

The garrison at Wenquan Pass watched the two monsters locked in fierce combat, and for a moment, chaos ensued. They cursed weakly, skillfully dodged, and their expressions had become numb. They then ordered a magician to set up a magical barrier to isolate them.

It seems that having too many reinforcements isn't necessarily a good thing...

Samael, the mentor of Typhon's offspring, twitched at the sight and looked utterly ashamed.

Chapter 175 Eat more walnuts, they can boost brainpower.

The chaotic scene left the unscrupulous teacher Samael with no way to escape. His usual strategy when dealing with problem students was, of course, to catch the troublemaker and give him a good beating to show that it was fair, and to strictly forbid any further vigilante revenge to avoid causing more trouble.

Immediately, the ancient serpent took matters into his own hands, giving the two troublemakers, the dog and the Korkis dragon, a light but not too harsh punishment. However, before he could fully unleash the tyrannical power of the "black demon," Hydra and Ladon's joy at their reunion overshadowed these trivial matters. They came forward to greet their mentor, whom they hadn't seen for a thousand years, hissing and cuddling like children who had found their parents.

His demeanor was even more welcoming than when he met the Snake Mother.

Unfortunately, Ecdna's consistent strategy was to let them grow up freely. Due to their divine deficiencies, they would often go into hibernation. Typhon's offspring spent more time with their young children and mentors than with their biological mother.
