"Trust me, goddess."

"I don't mean to belittle you; I just look down on all of you gods equally."

Makoto Haramura smiled slightly, and his magical power surged and erupted once again.

A more intense flame, a more intense light and heat began to spread outwards.

Trees were burned directly to ashes, the sea was constantly evaporated into water vapor, exposing the dried-up sand, and even the reinforced concrete ground was melted into liquid.

"The so-called disobedient gods are said to be incarnations, but in reality, their power is almost the same as their own."

"Even if someone is strong, there are limits to how strong they can be."

"Don't overestimate them."

The rather scathing commentary directly tore away the veil of mystery surrounding Athena and all the disobedient gods in Edelweiss's eyes.

Makoto Haramura has his reasons for saying that.

During the brief exchange, Makoto Haramura had already gained a pretty good understanding of the gods of this world.

Their greater manifestation of planetary power, through the spread of various myths, took shape and coalesced into the form of gods.

Therefore, no matter what, their maximum strength will not exceed that of the planet itself.

It is absolutely impossible to surpass a planet in this way.

This made Makoto Haramura wonder if he was perceiving things incorrectly.

"That's it."

Edelweiss looked at Athena's shield, which had been completely melted, and her hands, which were almost turned into charcoal, and nodded thoughtfully.

Just at this time.

A clear, untimely voice suddenly rang out on the battlefield.

"Could it be that a new king has been born?"

Chapter 292 Earth Mother Goddess

With her silver ponytail tied back and wearing a blue cloak, the female knight, her fair face flushed red from the heat, stood at the very edge of the battlefield, staring speechlessly at everything before her.

"Oh!"

Makoto Haramura raised his eyebrows, glanced at Liliana with slight surprise, then shook his head with a wry smile, giving Edelweiss a look in return.

Edelweiss immediately nodded in understanding.

With a light touch of his toes on the ground, he lunged forward and arrived directly beside Liliana, taking the girl who had unexpectedly stumbled into the battlefield away from there.

"Alright, the insignificant people are gone."

"Now, the goddess of wisdom should keep her promise to me."

“I’m already holding back. Given your special status as the Earth Mother Goddess, this level of power shouldn’t be enough to kill you.”

Makoto Haramura flashed to Athena's side, looking down at her disheveled state.

How majestic and awe-inspiring Athena was when she first appeared.

Its proud and noble posture is like a lily blooming on the battlefield.

What now?

Her once snow-white skin had now turned completely black, and her pure white dress had been burned away at some point, revealing the delicate body hidden beneath.

This should have been an extremely seductive scene, one that would make any man's blood boil.

However, in reality, it is now completely devoid of any aesthetic appeal.

Lying here, Athena is less like a piece of pure white jade and more like a piece of rotten, lightning-struck wood.

"It seems I've lost."

Normally, I would probably feel very ashamed and angry to be like this.

Not only did he lose, but the enemy also failed to take his life, and he was completely naked. It was utterly humiliating.

But now, she really can't bring herself to have such thoughts.

Shame and anger only apply when the difference in strength is not significant, but that attack just now made Athena very clear about the situation.

Even if she were in perfect condition, she would have absolutely no chance against this man.

"Give me some clothes to cover my body."

"The Earth Mother Goddess's healing abilities are currently insufficient to help me gather these excess abilities."

Athena coughed twice more, then, having seen through everything, she whispered to Haramura Makoto.

What is the Earth Mother Goddess?

Simply put, she is the Mother Earth or Mother Goddess, referring to a goddess who is in charge of fertility and symbolizes the blessings of the earth.

For them, the earth is the source of their strength.

As long as she stands on the ground, new power will continuously flow into her body.

The black, withered outer skin peeled off little by little, revealing new, pink skin underneath, and the withered internal organs were given new life.

A brand-new men's coat fluttered down onto Athena, concealing her delicate body that was beginning to sprout new shoots.

"I don't have any women's clothing here, so please make do with men's clothing for now."

"Thank you."

He forced himself to sit up from the ground and slowly buttoned up his coat.

"You're welcome. In a sense, this is also a mistake I made."

Touching his chin, Makoto Haramura appeared quite casual.

It's not that he deliberately wants to act so superior, nor is it that he's arrogant; it's just that the current situation makes it impossible for him to take things seriously.

"So, in accordance with the contract, what do you want to know?"

"As the goddess of wisdom, I can answer all your questions."

She was still somewhat annoyed, but breaking the contract would not be in line with her dignity as a goddess.

And as the goddess of wisdom.

She was confident that she could answer all of this man's questions with her own wisdom.

"Well, let me think about it."

Touching his chin, Makoto Haramura pondered for a few seconds.

"Alright, tell me everything about your disobedient gods, and that so-called god-slayer, why he became a god-slayer, and the parallel worlds."

"These questions shouldn't be too much to ask, right?"

Athena glanced at Haramura Makoto in surprise. Hearing Haramura Makoto's words, she, who was still a little annoyed that no one lived there, suddenly burst out laughing.

"It's not just not excessive; in fact, if it were just this kind of question, you wouldn't even need to ask me."

"You only need to find any human magician, and they can answer this question for you."

The origins of the arrival of the disobedient gods and the birth of god-slayers can be traced back to the ancient times of humankind.

It can be said that since the beginning of humankind, the descent of disobedient gods and the birth of god-slayers have been ongoing.

Human magicians, on the other hand, have always depended on the existence of god-slayers.

Over the years, human magic organizations have accumulated a great deal of knowledge.

They already had a very deep understanding of god-killers and disobedient gods.

That's why Athena was somewhat surprised.

She thought that Makoto Haramura wanted to seek more secret and profound knowledge from her, the goddess of wisdom.

They are seeking knowledge that is unknown to humankind.

Is that all there is to it?

"That's about right for me, but I'd be happy to tell you anything else."

"Consider it a gift to the strong."

Athena nodded gently, and a patch of dark skin peeled off her face, revealing new, tender skin like that of a baby. Her narration began.

Time passed by little by little.

Many things may seem like a small number, but discussing them one by one would be a waste of time.

From the birth of the gods of this world.

From the flourishing of the Earth Mother Goddess to the rise of the Steel God.

Then came the arrival of the disobedient god, Pandora's rebellion, and the birth of the god-slayer...

Athena was absolutely dedicated; she explained everything to Makoto Haramura in great detail.

"So that's how it works. So that's the principle behind it."

Makoto Haramura nodded, seemingly understanding.

"How interesting, there's actually such a thing."

"In that case, I am indeed quite interested in meeting this Mother of Humanity."

Athena's eyelids twitched as she stopped narrating.

"You're probably not the type to be interested in power. For someone like you, becoming a demon king on earth would only be a shackle."

"of course not."

"I'm just really interested in that toy called 'Ring of Usurpation'."

Makoto Haramura makes no attempt to hide his goals.

"Really? Then I can only wish you the best of luck."

Upon hearing this, Athena immediately stopped asking further questions, and instead looked rather happy.

Yes.

In any case, to the disobedient gods, both the god-slayer and Pandora are thieves who usurped their power.

It would be strange if the owner had a good attitude towards a thief.

Why do you wish me all the best?

"I think I still need your help with something here, Goddess."

With a wide grin, Makoto Haramura reached out and placed his hand on Athena's body.

The overwhelming force momentarily caused Athena, who was trying to leave, to falter in place, only able to furrow her brow.

"Take your hands off me."

To be honest, this man's appearance was breathtaking, and he also had a comfortable aura about him.

But she was very uncomfortable with people getting so close to her.

This physical contact, in particular, made her extremely uncomfortable.

"Of course."

"What you just did was just a precaution in case you want to leave here."

Haramura Makoto released his grip on Athena's shoulder and shrugged indifferently.

Admittedly, this goddess's appearance was something he had never seen before. It was as if everything that appeared in this woman was the best arrangement.

However, he really didn't have any particular feelings for this goddess.

Just as he said, it was purely a special measure to prevent the goddess from thinking her mission was complete and wanting to slip away.

"Anything else?"

"My promise to you has been fulfilled."

Athena's brows furrowed tightly.
