It was like a silver bubble. After colliding with the Shang Qing Heavenly Thunder, it strangely did not break. Instead, after a long stalemate, the color of the "bubble" gradually weakened.
Yang Cheng frowned. The Shang Qing Heavenly Thunder had actually been countered, and a large amount of silver-blue electric currents were bounced back unwillingly.
Although he would not be injured, it was obvious that his Shang Qing Heavenly Thunder could not do anything to this silver shield.
And this shield was not unfamiliar to him …
"Aegis Shield …" Apollo and the other gods showed a hint of joy on their faces, knowing that the Tree of Earth was saved.
"That was close, did this bitch have to appear so late!?" Hera, however, was not happy, and her sharp eyes swept towards the sky.
Athena was dressed in a long black silk dress, revealing a pair of snow-white arms and a pair of snow-white feet. No one knew when she had appeared there.
It was as silent as before, but just by standing there, it gave off an incomparably heavy mental pressure.
Yang Cheng squinted his eyes. Just as he had expected, Athena's strength had reached an amazing level after the recovery of Gaia's Heart.
Just the pressure from the Law of Space alone, Yang Cheng could at least conclude that she was stronger than the Shang Qing Peak Stage cultivators, and was estimated to be at least at the early stage of the Jade Clear Stage!
Otherwise, this woman would not have been able to resist his Shang Qing Heavenly Thunder so easily with the artifact.
What made people even more speechless was that she had obviously not recovered to her "peak". As Gaia's Heart continued to climb one peak after another, perhaps reaching the peak of the Jade Clear Stage was not a distant dream.
Perhaps the gods twenty thousand years ago had come with their peak strength, and the battle of the gods would not have ended like that …
However, Yang Cheng did not think that he had no hope of winning. Firstly, Athena had not really reached her peak state, and secondly, he still had at least two trump cards that he had not used yet …
Athena slowly floated down and confronted Yang Cheng from afar.
At this moment, Luo Qianqiu and the other cultivators in the distance were trembling so hard that they found it hard to speak. The awe that Athena gave them was unimaginable …
"Hades, you shouldn't have obstructed the revival of our God Race. You went against the natural law of survival of the fittest. This is foolish," Athena said coldly. It was impossible to tell whether she was happy or angry.
Yang Cheng looked at the face that was forever hidden behind the illusory dreamscape and asked, "Back then, was it you who told Luo Qianqiu and Hera that my master and I have the 'Endless Resolve Restoration Scripture'?"
The deities were stunned. Yang Cheng actually still had the mind to care about such a small matter. He had a fearless look on his face.
One had to know that Yang Cheng was still wrapped in the silver light of the Aegis Shield. It was questionable whether Athena would let him out easily.
Athena silently turned around and looked at Hera.
Hera's expression changed slightly, but she snorted coldly and turned her head away disdainfully.
Athena seemed to sigh faintly and said to Yang Cheng, "This is no longer important. Regardless of whether I told Hera or not, everything that happened was within my expectations. I can accept the result. "
Although she said this, everyone present understood that Hera had more or less shifted the blame to Athena in order to stir up conflict between Athena and Yang Cheng.
There was no difference between the scheming and scheming of women between Main Gods.
After all, the deities knew that Hera's' divination technique 'wasn't just for show.
But just as Athena had said, this was no longer important. Athena had no interest in haggling over such a small matter and defending herself.
Yang Cheng's expression became a little better. He looked at the silver light around him and said, "Are you going to continue blocking me like this? If your Great Prophecy Technique is really so accurate, then you should know that I haven't used my full strength, right? "
The deities were shocked and didn't dare to believe that Yang Cheng hadn't used his full strength. Could it be that his cultivation was higher than the Prime Clear level?
Athena suddenly extended her hand and beckoned gracefully. The silver light around Yang Cheng instantly retreated.
A silver light returned to Athena and condensed into a shield that was half the height of a person. It looked like a heavy armor shield of the ancient crusaders. It was silver in color and was engraved with olive leaf patterns. It emitted a dazzling bluish-silver radiance.
If one were to look carefully, one would notice that the head of the medusa was engraved in the middle of it, and it looked rather terrifying.
"I know that if you disregard everything and use all your strength to destroy the Tree of Earth, I might not be able to stop you.
If you don't have the ability to fight me, then you aren't worthy of my effort and attention. "
Athena's words were even more shocking. She actually admitted what Yang Cheng had said.
The deities couldn't help but be puzzled. Athena's aura was obviously much stronger than Yang Cheng's. How could she say something like that?
"However …" Athena's tone suddenly changed, and she said coldly, "If you use your full strength, one of us will definitely die in battle. I will use my divine spark to defend the glory of Mother Goddess Gaia!"
Athena's Law of Space suddenly increased again. The entire crown of the Tree of Earth seemed to tremble, and a large number of golden leaves began to tremble.
A demonic blue flame descended from the sky and condensed into a five feet long spear in Athena's right hand. The spear's body was made of a unique metal that emitted a faint blue luster, and there was a strange beast totem in the shape of a demon dragon coiling around it.
The spearhead was actually burning with a demonic blue flame. It didn't have a fixed shape, and it seemed to be greedily devouring something at any time.
This was Athena's other divine weapon, the Spear of Pallas. Before this, Athena had never met an opponent that required her to use both of these divine weapons.
Legend had it that Athena accidentally killed Pallas, who had the bloodline of the Sea God, when she was young. That was why she renamed the spear to Pallas' Spear.
However, the true creator of this divine weapon was the Fire God Hephaestus. However, this spear was indeed fused with the powerful blood of a type of sea monster on Mars. Together with Athena's incomparable Law of Space, it could unleash shocking combat power.
The deities saw that Athena was actually holding a spear in her right hand and a giant shield in her left, and their expressions turned solemn.
They hadn't seen Athena treat a battle so seriously for a long time. What ability did Yang Cheng have to make Athena so afraid?!
However, there was something else in the deities' eyes that they couldn't explain. It was as if … they felt that this battle had some other meaning.
Yang Cheng could naturally feel the strength of his opponent, but at this moment, his state of mind was unusually calm.
There was a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, but there was a hint of determination in his eyes. Yang Cheng let out a long sigh. "Looks like I have to make a choice …"
Just as Yang Cheng finished speaking and was about to use his full strength, Athena suddenly called out to him. "Wait a minute."
Athena's voice became a little gentle, not as cold and emotionless as before.
Yang Cheng's entire body seemed to be struck by lightning. He stiffened for a moment, his lips trembling slightly. He raised his head and stared at Athena, forcing a stiff smile.
"What's wrong … You don't want to fight anymore?"
Athena was silent for a moment, and after a slight hesitation, she said softly, "I've already said that if you use your full strength, it means that one of us will die. But, are you really willing to let me die in front of you? "
"Hehe … What do you mean, are you afraid …"
Yang Chen tried his best to avoid her gaze. He wanted to tease her, but he couldn't restrain himself. He looked at Athena's face which had always been shrouded in mist. It was hard to see her face clearly, but it gave people a feeling of absolute beauty …
Unknowingly, Athena had already revealed her true appearance.
Yang Cheng only caught a glimpse of her from the corner of his eye, but he couldn't deceive himself. This was a face that he was incomparably familiar with, a face that was engraved in his heart …
It wasn't just Yang Cheng, even Luo Qianqiu and the other cultivators in the distance were scared silly, unable to believe their eyes and speechless …
Only the other deities present were all aware of this, and now that the truth was revealed, they all sighed slightly.
Of course, there were also people like Hera and Hermes who found it rather interesting, and they were calm and unruffled, revealing strange smiles.
"Heh … Haha … Haha … Aha …"
Yang Cheng's body trembled, and his shoulders shook. He lowered his head, smiling foolishly, laughing bitterly, crying and laughing, as if he was possessed, and he kept shaking his head.
In the end, Yang Cheng's eyes were already uncontrollably red, and they were glistening with tears.
Indistinct sobs came out from Yang Cheng's throat, and he tried to hold them back, but he couldn't.
The hysterical despair, sorrow, and pain in his eyes caused Aphrodite, Artemis, and a few other Main Gods who were on good terms with him to cover their faces and cry when they saw this scene.
There wasn't a trace of sorrow or joy on Athena's face. She just calmly and lightly walked through the air, arriving in front of Yang Cheng.
At this moment, the Aegis Shield and Palas Spear had already been put away by her.
Because she knew that she had 'won'.
Just as she had expected, no matter how strong this man was, he would never lay a hand on her in the end.
Athena quietly looked at Yang Cheng, who was covering his face and lowering his head. She gently opened her arms, wrapping them around Yang Cheng's waist, and leaned into Yang Cheng's embrace …
"I knew you wouldn't bear to hurt me, right?"
Smelling the familiar fragrance, Yang Cheng's throat was choked, and he suddenly pushed the woman away from his embrace!
Then, Yang Cheng's right hand was like a vise, tightly gripping the woman's chin, and violently raising her face towards him!
Their gazes met, Yang Cheng's eyes were like blazing flames, while the woman's eyes were like a tranquil deep lake.
Ice and fire intersected, clashing intensely in the silence.
It was already impossible to describe Yang Cheng's current mood with simple complex emotions. He already felt that he was crazy, but he was crazy to the point where he couldn't allow himself to continue being crazy.
Athena didn't resist at all, allowing Yang Cheng to treat her so recklessly.
Because of the powerful pressure and the high and respected status, her cold and beautiful face that could topple a city was exceptionally beautiful at this moment, making it hard for one to free themselves from her.
Yang Cheng swallowed with difficulty, the hand that was gripping the woman's chin trembled, and he said hoarsely, "Lin, Ruo, Xi … How could you treat me like this … Didn't I ask you … to stay at home and look after the child … How could you … do this …"
On Lin Ruoxi's cold face, there was finally a trace of emotion, her long eyelashes trembled, and her moist eyes revealed a touch of crystal clear color.
The woman's lips lightly pursed, and she said softly, "I also persuaded you, I also begged you … I begged you … Don't come …"
