"The nocturnal owls? They are thought to be messengers that travel between the netherworld and the mortal world. "
Looking at the thousands of owls flying in the night sky, Eight-cloud Ink began to emit demonic energy.
The sky was dark. Not sure if it was dyed black by divine power or because the dark clouds were too thick, but purple lightning began to fall.
However, the lightning did not illuminate the world. Instead, the whole world became darker.
It was an unnatural darkness brought about by the power of divinity, a darkness that expelled the grace of light and fire.
In the sky, Athena, who looked to be 15 or 16 years old, raised her hands high.
Although her body could not safely return to human form, her clothes had turned into an ancient Greek robe.
"I sing, sing the ballad of the goddess who once ruled the world and darkness."
"I sing the lament of the goddess who was killed as a forbidden snake."
"My name is Athena —"
"Mother Earth who once gave birth to all things."
"Lord of the underworld who ruled over darkness."
"Queen who knew the wisdom of the heavens."
"I swear here — — I swear to restore my ancient body!!!"
A dark wind fell from the sky.
The wind whistled and turned into a huge and ferocious scythe that fell into Athena's hands.
"A monster named Ye Ying!"
Athena waved the scythe and looked down at Eight-cloud Ink arrogantly.
"My enemy, are you ready to enter the underworld?"
Eight-cloud Ink sighed and looked at Athena with a serious face.
"I'm sorry, I'm not your brother, and I'm not Ye Ying. I already said that I was joking, and you took my name seriously? I didn't know that you were so natural. "
"Oh? Not only did you tease me, but you even gave me a fake name? "
Athena held the scythe tightly in her hand.
"Teasing is too serious …" Eight-cloud Ink's body began to rise slowly until it was level with Athena. "I just wanted to make a joke when I saw how serious you were."
"Although you are a god or something, you don't have to be so serious all the time."
"Hmph! You have a glib tongue. I'm not interested in your name anymore. "
Athena raised her scythe and smiled.
"Now, have a good taste of my wind of death! Although I haven't truly restored the ancient trinity, I'll play with you for the time being! "
Raising the scythe high up, the darkness behind him instantly became thicker.
Countless blood-red owls appeared, their eyes emitting a terrifying red light. At the same time, divine power condensed into light bullets that filled the sky.
Eight-cloud Ink raised an eyebrow. "Playing bullet screen?"
With a snap of his fingers, the lilies behind him bloomed.
"Oh? Interesting ability! "
Athena giggled, and a dark purple ball of light suddenly shot out.
Eight-cloud Ink's petal-shaped bullet screen immediately went up. For a moment, the entire sky was filled with dazzling lights that resembled fireworks.
The scythe in Athena's hand began to transform in the light, and eventually turned into an unknown longbow.
Pulling back the bowstring, the arrow condensed from divine power was aimed at Eight-cloud Ink's chest.
At the same time, the earth trembled, and a huge snake broke out of the ground, its ferocious head facing Eight-cloud Ink.
"Do you want to become an Archer? It's a pity that your cheat is in debt … "
Taking out Empyrean, Eight-cloud Ink's body hid in a crack that suddenly appeared behind him.
Athena immediately moved sideways, dodging the tip of Eight-cloud Ink's umbrella that suddenly appeared beside her, and at the same time, she released the bowstring.
The arrow shot out, and while it was still flying in the air, Athena pulled back the bowstring again.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh …"
A series of arrows blocked Eight-cloud Ink's escape space from all angles. Seeing this, Eight-cloud Ink retracted Empyrean and opened up the oil-paper umbrella. Placing it on his shoulder, he turned around and used the umbrella to block all the arrows.
"Boom —!!!"
The arrows hit the umbrella and caused a huge explosion. The violent shockwave shook the atmosphere, but it still couldn't disperse the darkness that covered the sky.
"Roar —!!"
The giant snake roared and pounced, but Eight-cloud Ink waved his hand, and several Succubus screeched as they drilled out of the giant snake's body, waving their sharp claws as they fought with the giant snake.
Seeing this, Athena's longbow turned back into the shape of a scythe. Holding the scythe in her hand, she drew a shadow in front of Eight-cloud Ink, and the blade flashed with cold light as it slashed towards Eight-cloud Ink's slender white neck.
Relying on the ability of Gundaluf, Eight-cloud Ink fought with Athena in the air with Empyrean.
Although she had the support of divine power, Athena's fighting skills were obviously not as good as Luo Cuilian's. Therefore, although each of her attacks had the power to cut open the earth, Eight-cloud Ink dealt with them with ease.
"Ding —!!!!"
The scythe hit the umbrella, and there was an ear-piercing sound of metal clashing.
Then, Athena suddenly felt her body become heavy.
The divine power in her body began to dissipate, and the darkness in the sky began to change strangely.
In the distorted sky, the boundless darkness was gradually replaced by day, and finally, with the two at the center of the battle, there was a strange phenomenon of half day and half night.
"What ability is this? It can actually dispel my ancient darkness? "
"It's just distorting the realms of night and day."
Eight-cloud Ink said in a low voice, and at the same time, his hands were not slow at all, blocking Athena's attacks and counterattacking.
When half of the darkness was dispelled, Athena's power began to decline.
"Boom —!!!" "Boom —!!!" "Boom —!!!"
The aftermath of the two's battle was like a clap of thunder that resounded through the sky, and the raging shockwaves overturned the glass walls of the tall buildings below.
After blocking Athena's attack again, Eight-cloud Ink took advantage of the opportunity to hit Athena's lower abdomen.
"Ugh —!!!"
Athena instantly felt the divine power in her body stagnate, and she almost dropped the scythe in her hand.
The stagnant divine power recovered after a while, but it was no longer under Athena's control.
"This is …!!"
Countless images began to flash in her mind.
The images that flashed by seemed familiar, but it also seemed like she had never experienced it before.
[Distort all the myths related to you and turn them all into chaos. Let's see what else you can do.]
This was Eight-cloud Ink's plan.
If Yukari did it herself, it would not be as troublesome as Eight-cloud Ink. Just by being in this world, she could break all the mythical realms.
Eight-cloud Ink, on the other hand, required the body to be in contact with the corresponding gods.
Under Eight-cloud Ink's solemn gaze, Athena's body began to be covered by a layer of ominous darkness.
Her eyes gradually turned blood red, and a violent aura rose to the sky.
After the myths related to her were disrupted, Athena was finally completely freed from the shackles of the myths.
"It's just as I thought. After the myths are shattered, she can completely restore the true body of the ancient god of disobedience?"
"But I seem to have unintentionally taken the initiative to renew Athena's cheat …"
His faint guess about Pandora's plan was completely confirmed in an instant.
The ultimate goal of Pandora's plan must be related to breaking the myths.
The reason why she stopped Yukari from breaking the myths was obviously that her preparations were not complete.
