Chapter 238: Alright, Athena, no problem, Athena
"Despicable thief and hateful traitor."
Outside a five-star hotel in Britain, looking at the two figures sleeping soundly on the bed.
Athena gritted her teeth and squeezed out these words.
As a once-lofty Earth Mother Goddess, she detested all Steel Heroes in the world.
Because those hateful Steel Heroes had belittled countless Earth Mother Goddesses as their wives, daughters, and the like, and had seized their power.
But compared to the enemy, what Athena detested even more was the traitor who had forgotten the pride of the Earth Mother Goddess.
She was not speaking of anyone else, but of Guinevere, who was acting as Su Nian's body pillow.
As an ancient Earth Mother Goddess of the British region, the White Goddess, she had chosen to forget her own pride and was willingly driven by a Steel Hero.
She had even abandoned her own Divinity, immortality, and wisdom, falling to the status of a God Ancestor.
This was both the regret of seeing someone fail to live up to expectations and the detestation of a traitor.
Sometimes, the heterodox are even more hateful than the heretics.
"It's just that you all seem a bit too relaxed, but that's fine; this is exactly my chance."
A faint smile curled at the corners of Athena's mouth as she raised her hand.
Black snakes crawled out from her fingertips, creeping carefully from the ground and the window cracks toward Su Nian and Guinevere.
These were snakes containing the death power of the Underworld; as long as one was bitten, even a Godslayer would have to return to the Underworld.
In this way, the traitor and the Steel Hero she detested could return to the Underworld together, and she could also retrieve her divine tool.
Athena's gaze fell upon the Demon Star on Su Nian's wrist.
The pull from the Gorgon's divinity told Athena that it was the snake she had "lost," though she did not know why.
After thousands of years of wear, the divinity on the snake had not diminished; instead, it had become even more pure and powerful.
Her wisdom told her that as long as she absorbed that "snake," she would return to an existence even more powerful than her peak in the past.
However, just as Athena was suppressing her excitement, watching the death snakes she controlled crawl slowly toward Su Nian and Guinevere.
An accident occurred; a female holding a long spear and wearing silver Chain Mail appeared in the room, no one knew when.
Lancelot looked at the snakes on the ground and couldn't help but frown.
"Divine nature of death? Has another Heretic God arrived?"
Immediately following, several flashes of white light passed, and the snakes on the ground turned into black ash in silence, disappearing as a breeze from nowhere blew over them.
The next moment, Lancelot shifted her gaze outside the window, and her eyes met Athena's.
"Athena?"
"Detestable Steel Goddess."
Athena's face twisted slightly, and she felt deeply disgusted inside.
Was today some kind of retrograde day? Why had everything she detested bumped into each other?
A Steel Hero, a traitor who betrayed the Earth Mother Goddess, a rare Steel Goddess, and her "stolen" snake.
It is a well-known fact that the Godslayer World is a place where hundreds of spirits act out the entire Earth's Mythology, resulting in every divine spirit having dozens of aliases on average, and most of them are familiar with each other.
Even if they aren't familiar, they have at least dealt with each other or met before.
During the long time of slumber and wandering, Athena had also dealt with Lancelot.
She knew very well just how difficult this Steel Goddess, who was proficient in martial arts, was to deal with.
Of the thirty-six stratagems, fleeing is the best.
Without the slightest hesitation, Athena turned into countless dragons and snakes, dived into the ground, and rushed in all directions.
"In response to the beloved daughter's prayer, to crush the respectable enemy, we become lightning here and entrust our lives to you!"
In a moment, Lancelot summoned a white horse and charged at divine speed in the direction Athena had fled.
She swore to capture Athena and present her to her lord.
"Fog Wind, blow!"
Following Lancelot's incantation, a wild wind blew, and the entire London rose with thick white fog, just like the City of Fog in the Victorian era.
Lancelot and her white horse mount transformed into the fog, hid in the fog, and pursued Athena in all directions.
Countless mists turned into individual Knights, killing every dragon and snake that Athena had split into.
"Achoo~~, why the noise in the middle of the night?"
Su Nian opened his sleepy eyes, yawned, turned on the light, and at the same time tucked the blanket in for Guinevere, who was still sleeping soundly.
He hadn't actually done anything; he had truly just used Guinevere as a body pillow.
Although he hadn't exactly not eaten lolis of this build before, such as Leticia and Nangong Nayue.
But since Guinevere had not yet truly pledged her loyalty to him, he was not in a hurry for this momentary gain.
What is his will always be his.
"As for you, I haven't even looked for you, yet you came to find me?"
Su Nian looked with some helplessness at the owl standing on the tree branch outside the window.
Athena's sleight of hand was played very well; even Lancelot had been deceived.
The owl is the symbol of Athena, and the dragon and snake are the symbols of the Earth Mother Goddess.
The Divinity manifested by the current Trinity Athena is Athena, not Metis, and certainly not Medusa, who had already lost her Divinity.
However, this trick might fool Lancelot, but wanting to fool him? She still needs to practice for a few hundred years.
Not to mention that he still had Athena's blessing on him; a mere Heretic God who barely touched the edge of Five-digit wanted to break Athena's blessing?
Su Nian even felt that as long as he released the blessing, this Athena's Divinity would split apart the very next second.
But it was fortunate that this Athena before him had not yet retrieved the Gorgon Stone and returned to the state of the Trinity Athena.
Otherwise, once Algol discovered that she and Athena were actually in a unified relationship, heaven knows what kind of chaos would ensue.
"I have merely come to retrieve my Snake."
Seeing that her hiding spot had been discovered, Athena saw no further need to conceal herself; she flew directly down from the tree branch into the room, transforming into a petite figure wearing a beige sweater and a cute, cat-ear-shaped knit hat.
"As for you, I did not expect that the famous King Arthur would actually be a despicable thief."
Athena said to Su Nian with a sneer.
Su Nian was stunned for a moment.
Huh? A thief? Me?
No, how long has he even been in this world? Where would he have found the time to steal Athena's Snake?
If he really wanted a Gorgon Stone, wouldn't it be easier to just ask Algol to hand-craft one?
What necessity was there for him to steal one?
Just following Athena's gaze, Su Nian lowered his head to look at Demon Star Algol hanging on his wrist, and Su Nian fell into deep thought.
So, the Gorgon Stone Athena spoke of was actually the Demon Star.
No, where did you get the guts to covet Algol?
If Algol actually found out, she would probably laugh herself to death.
A barely Five-digit Athena actually thinking of absorbing the Demon Star to supplement her own divinity?
Even the Cross Religion back then was helpless against Algol and could only choose to hand her over to Greece, letting Athena look after her on their behalf.
But even Athena could only manage to seal her away.
Even as a joke, there is no way to joke like this.
"Yadaina, you have successfully made me laugh."
Su Nian suppressed his laughter, clutching his stomach, trying his best not to laugh too brazenly.
Lest he accidentally wake Algol up.
"My name is Athena, not Yadaina. Can it be that the Steel Hero of today can no longer even correctly call out my name?"
Athena looked at Su Nian with some displeasure and said.
This guy truly understands no etiquette, and has not a shred of politeness.
But who let her current situation be weaker than others? Whether it was Lancelot, who had already become a Heretic, or Su Nian, who was standing right here wearing pajamas.
She could not beat a single one of them, and could not even escape.
"Alright, Yadaina, no problem, Yadaina."
Athena frowned and did not continue trying to correct him; this guy who only listened to himself could not take in a single word.
As for Su Nian, he had another reason for calling her that, which was to distinguish this Athena from the Athena of Little Garden.
They couldn't both be called Athena, right? Then who could tell who was who?
"Although, I still really want to remind you of one thing: you found the wrong snake."
Su Nian shook the Demon Star on his wrist; his Demon Star was a pendant in the style of a Gorgon's head.
Yet Athena's Gorgon Stone was a fist-sized emblem carving with the human face of a Gorgon depicted on it.
"You wouldn't happen to have reached the point where you can't even recognize your own snake, would you?"
Athena touched her nose in some embarrassment.
Just a moment ago, she had seemingly sensed her snake, and the direction was Italy, where she had been staying previously.
Although Su Nian's Demon Star indeed held an unusual attraction for her, it was certainly not her snake.
"Apologies, I have disturbed you, I shall now..."
Athena's face flushed slightly; mistaking her own snake for something else was still somewhat embarrassing for her, the Goddess of Wisdom and Victory.
Especially since this was in front of the Steel Hero she detested.
"You wouldn't happen to be thinking of just walking away like this, would you?"
A joyful smile curled at the corners of Su Nian's mouth; since Yadaina had come, she shouldn't think about running away.
Did she really think his place was some amusement park where she could come and go as she pleased?
"So, what do you want to do to me?"
An ominous feeling welled up in Athena's heart; she somewhat regretted why she had come to provoke this guy.
"Rest assured, I won't do anything to you."
Saying this, Su Nian took out a rope and walked toward Yadaina with a wicked "hehehe" smile.
Then, under her terrified gaze, he hung Yadaina up, and at the same time, wrote the three large characters "Yadaina" on her face with black ink.
"Is he f***ing sick?"
Athena was silent for a long time before cursing out loud.
