After an unknown period of time, Yang Cheng smiled gently.
The wind and smoke dispersed. In this smile, it was as if the past thousands of mountains and rivers, the vicissitudes of life, had all been expressed in this silent smile.
There seemed to be a hint of a smile on Athena's cold face, but it was so subtle that it was revealed inadvertently.
Yang Cheng pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and asked, "Putting away your weapons and shields, does that mean you're not going to fight anymore?"
Athena shook her head. "My strength is comparable to Zeus'. In a situation where I can't use the Greater Prophecy Spell on you, I'm weaker than him. You can easily destroy him, which means that you can easily destroy me.
If we continue to fight, we'll only be humiliating ourselves. I'm not going to fight anymore … But, it's not over yet. "
Yang Cheng smiled bitterly. "It seems that even if I destroy the Tree of Earth and kill everyone here, you still won't give up the idea of reviving the Protoss, right?"
"Yes."
Athena nodded without hesitation and said resolutely.
"Why?" Yang Cheng's smile gradually disappeared, replaced by a faint sadness.
Athena smiled indifferently. Her smile was as beautiful as the blooming flowers in spring.
"You should know me best, don't you … You came here to confront us, not because you hate the Protoss, nor because you want to protect the humans on Earth as a great hero.
This is just your fate. There's no reason for it. This is the fate you choose to bear as a human, a human who can change the fate of mankind.
For you, you can't sit back and watch the destruction of mankind. Similarly, for me, the Tree of Earth is our mother, and the Protoss, born of the Divinity, are my people.
Everything I've done for the past twenty thousand years, it's all for the revival of the Protoss today. Whether I succeed or fail, this is my fate. I can't stop it, and I don't need any reason to convince myself. "
Athena spoke very calmly, but when these words fell into the ears of the Gods, they couldn't help but be moved and fall into their own thoughts.
"Heh …" Yang Cheng nodded and laughed at himself. "You're right. There are many things that don't need a reason. This is fate …"
With that said, the scene fell into silence again.
After a while, Athena said quietly, "The choice is now in your hands. If you want the Protoss to never rise again, then your only choice is to kill me. Otherwise, even if the others die, even if the Earth Tree withers, even if there is no hope of recovery, I will never give up. If … you can't do it, then that only proves that my Great Prophecy Spell was successful. This is the future that the Protoss yearns for."
Yang Cheng rubbed his forehead as if he had a headache. He clicked his tongue and sighed helplessly. "I've worked so hard for half a day, but in the end, it's still a matter of life and death …"
Athena revealed a relaxed smile. "If you have a way to separate Lin Ruoxi's and Seventeen's souls from my soul, or destroy my soul alone, then there might be other endings."
"Don't joke around …" Yang Cheng waved his hand and smiled bitterly. "If I could do it, I would have done it long ago. It's not like I'm the first to know that you've been playing tricks in the dark …"
Of course, Athena was just speaking casually. In fact, unless she was willing to separate her Divinity or return the initiative of Lin Ruoxi's soul, not to mention Yang Cheng, even if Meng Xiaoyao were here, he wouldn't be able to separate her soul.
After all, Athena wasn't an ordinary person. Her soul was protected by the rich mental strength of the Divinity and was as solid as a rock. Before Athena's soul was forcibly separated, she would have already killed Lin Ruoxi and Seventeen.
Naturally, Yang Cheng knew that it was impossible, so he didn't think in that direction.
He quietly closed his eyes and opened them again. After looking at Athena with an incomparably complicated gaze, Yang Cheng regained his stern expression.
"Since that's the case, take out your Palas Spear. Let us use the final moment of battle to announce our deaths."
Athena's eyelashes trembled slightly. After hearing Yang Cheng's decision, she couldn't help but smile calmly and nod.
The demonic blue Palas Spear was once again summoned by Athena. She raised it straight and aimed it at Yang Cheng.
When the gods below saw this scene, even Hera and Hermes, who didn't like Athena, couldn't help but tear up.
Everyone knew that with the Law of Space ineffective, Athena was just putting up a show. All Yang Cheng needed was a split second to destroy her soul with the Clear Jade Heavenly Lightning …
… …
In the independent space, Meng Xiaoyao finally brightened up when he saw this scene. He showed a satisfied smile.
"This kid has finally figured it out. My 50,000 years of bitter waiting wasn't in vain."
Yu Xuening sighed rather sadly, "This woman of the God Race is really unenlightened. Why must she go to such extremes? Why not take a step back for both of us? Harming others is harming herself. Since ancient times, beauties are unlucky. "
"Xue 'er, sometimes, in order to achieve the Great Dao, sacrifices must be made. What Yang Cheng did today will bring him one step closer to that threshold. This is a good thing for him. Since ancient times, it has been difficult to satisfy both sides. You don't have to be sad. "Meng Xiaoyao smiled.
"Pfft." Yu Xuening rolled her eyes at him unceremoniously, "Don't think that everyone is as heartless as you. I know that you have a high realm, but I just don't like you! Yang Chen was fine at first, but because of you, he had no choice but to kill the woman he loved the most. Are you satisfied now? "
Meng Xiaoyao raised his eyebrows and said, "If you don't want to, you can stop him."
Yu Xuening was even angrier when she heard this, "What's the use of me stopping him?! That woman of the God Race is stubborn. It's obvious that she won't take a step back even if she dies! "
Yang Yuansu and Li Xuemei on the side couldn't help but smile bitterly when they saw the Master and the great senior quarreling.
Jane looked at the scene in the mirror with a complicated expression. She couldn't tell what she was feeling, but she was faintly uneasy …
… …
After a period of silence between the two of them, finally, it was Yang Cheng who made a move.
The black Jade Clear Heavenly Thunder began to wrap around Yang Cheng's hand and condense into a slender black sword of six or seven feet long.
Although it looked quite light, no one would doubt the outcome of this Jade Clear Heavenly Thunder Sword if it fell on Athena's body.
Yang Cheng walked slowly towards Athena. Every step he took pounded on the hearts of the gods present, making their spirits almost collapse.
Athena's death also meant the complete collapse of the God Race.
Venus, Artemis, and the others were crying uncontrollably.
On the contrary, Athena was very calm. She watched as Yang Cheng got closer and closer. The spear in her hand was still pointed straight and steady at the man, motionless.
At this moment, Yang Cheng's figure sped up!
Yang Cheng was like a lion pouncing on its prey, exuding a murderous aura. With a leap, the Heavenly Thunder Sword in his hand was like a black beam of light, stabbing straight at Athena's head!
Athena felt the irresistible power approaching and closed her beautiful eyes early. No one would notice that there was a flash of tears in the corner of her eyes …
The corners of the goddess's mouth showed a trace of relief …
"Pfft! … "
Blood, floated down from the sky.
The gods below, looking at the falling scarlet, all of them changed from grief to shock, astonishment, and even a blank mind!
At that moment, Athena strangely felt that the power that was fatal to her suddenly disappeared the moment it approached her face?
What followed closely was a warm hand, carefully and lovingly caressing her left cheek …
Athena suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air. She opened her beautiful eyes, and in an instant, her body stiffened like an ice sculpture …
She saw that Yang Cheng's body had been pierced by Lord Palas' spear at some point in time. The place that was pierced was his heart!
The spear tyrannically cut open his sternum, pierced through his heart, and came out of his back. His body was at least four feet long, and it was stained with his cold blood …
And Yang Cheng seemed to be completely unaware of it. He was half a step away from her, with a gentle smile on his face, gazing at her affectionately …
His large hand that was supposed to bring death, now only had a warmth that made the woman's eyes and nose sour, and a trace of trembling …
