章節 10: The True Athena NYAA~
Since he had let Athena go, She could absorb the Gorgonion at any moment. He needed preparation to face the even greater Athena. Without sufficient strength, even negotiations will go nowhere. This was the crux of the matter that Kuroka pointed out directly.
"Since that's the case, how are you going to ask for my help? Come on, just say it." Kuroka looked at Reino arrogantly. Even though She was well aware of what he needed, She purposely made Reino ask for it. What a cruel girl.
"...Alright, I take back what I just said. Please teach me everything you know about Athena. I have to prepare myself to fight that goddess." Without the help of this Girl, Reino had no chance to fight Athena. While thinking this, he lowered his head to beg Kuroka.
"Very good, now my answer has been decided." Kuroka left the long bench and knelt at Reino's feet. With a teasing grin, she respectfully said: "My lord, I will do as you wish. You are the master of my sword and our king of magicians. As long as you wish, I will give you the key to victory." Now and then, Kuroka would give this kind of respectful attitude. Reino felt uncomfortable, so he pulled her back.
"I told you, don't say things like that...I want Kuroka to be her usual self"
"Really? Then let's do it as usual. Reino, sit here, we'll start now."
Reino was suddenly pushed back by Kuroka to sit on the bench. Realizing the signs of danger, Reino started to panic. Are they going to do this? "When I say please teach me, I mean to tell me to use your mouth, please don't use any strange spells or ritual items."
"How long do you think I should tell you? Athena is the most ancient goddess, so there's a lot of history and mythology surrounding her. There's no way I'm going to talk about it all, it's too much trouble." Kuroka approached Reino as she said this. She quickly covered Reino's lips, he could no longer run away from Kuroka.
...After a long kiss, Kuroka parted her lips for a moment and said: "Hehe, I'm really happy right now, because Reino has been so cold to me lately. You've made me look so obvious, but secretly meeting that strange girl or being forced to kiss Athena, so I'm not happy." Even though she said she wasn't happy, her tone was sweet.
Their faces were so close that their foreheads were almost touching. "I'm not keeping it a secret, and Athena's case was a completely unexpected accident. But seriously, I still don't think this is a good idea. We have to use a more complete and more permanent method than this!"
"What could be better than meeting your lover's lips? After all, the person who kissed me first was Reino, and you've done it again several times since then. After all the things you have done, why do you still object?"
"But-" Reino's lips were blocked again before he could finish. This time too his tongue was played.
'Does it have to be this way!?'
He couldn't open his mouth even though he wanted to ask; The situation was very annoying. For a high school boy to be treated this way and still not arouse desire, that man might just be a very abnormal person. Reino tried to escape from the honey trap in front of him. But he couldn't escape Their wrist strength was very different; how could this girl be so strong?
"Let's start with Athena's birth, who was Athena's mother like? Then the relationship between Athena and Medusa." Kuroka spoke softly.
"In Greek Mythology, Athena's mother was Metis. She was Zeus' first wife, also the goddess of wisdom, but their history was not good. According to one legend, Zeus raped Metis by turning her into a fly, which caused her to become pregnant with Athena."
"Snake" The tail appeared in his mental image, then formed into a full serpent image. It was followed by a cow, and then wings — which meant the shadows of the birds came.
"To Zeus, Metis was just an object of his lust. The only reason he took her as a wife was to maintain his image by rewriting the myth. After learning about Metis' pregnancy, Gaia and Uranus predicted that if she gave birth to a son, then she would become stronger. then Zeus himself."
The gods and god slayer have the power against magic. It was not only effective against enemies, but also harmless and beneficial spells. Even the spells from his comrades would still bounce off unless the magic went straight into his body as Athena did.
What Kuroka was currently using was her skill to pass her knowledge on to others. Every history is related to Athens. Her goal was to quickly teach Reino, all the mythologies and attributes of the gods associated with Athena.
"Fear of the unborn child, he swallowed Metis and her child, hoping to destroy both mother and child while absorbing Metis' wisdom for his use. But Metis' child, Athena, was eventually born from the head of Zeus."
The words that came from Kuroka's lips transferred a lot of phenomenal knowledge into Reino's mind. In other words, Athena was a goddess born from the death of her mother. This is a very important detail— in Greek, 'Metis' also means 'Wisdom', but that is also the origin of 'Medusa'. Metis and Medusa.
These two words both carry the same meaning, and they are also names of goddesses who have a deep connection with Athena. Goddess of the trinity, one body formed from Metis, Medusa, and Athena. Reino suddenly realized the meaning. It was all thanks to the knowledge that Kuroka had transferred using her lips and tongue, her sweet breath and saliva, Athena's true face was finally exposed. Kuroka's tongue wagged coquettishly to find the location of Reino's tongue.
The great knowledge that overtook him and his pleasant sensation flashed through Reino's mind. He had to let everything fall naturally into place like this. Reino's consciousness was lost in a charming and strong emotion. While Kuroka seemed to have read Reino's mind as she revealed a light smile.
"How? Do you still want to stop using this method and return to a more normal teaching method? — I prefer something like this. Which one does Reino want to use? Should we continue like this, or go back to the boring teaching method?" Before they knew it, their lips parted, and even their connection weakened. Kuroka loosened her arms.
Normally, Reino would ask her to stop long ago. But after coming here just stopping now would be very difficult. But the situation is still not good...
Kuroka's expression was full of joy as she stared at Reino's sorrow. This devilish smile was too alluring and hard to resist. Just as his resistance thinned and his body lost all strength…
Reino realized. In the corner of his vision, a girl blushing shyly stood nearby.
"Le Fay-san? Don't tell me you were there... watching the whole time?"
"I forgot. Le Fay, when are you coming back?"
Reino and Kuroka turned to look in the same direction. Le Fay had been hiding behind a street lamp, observing each pair's movements. Just from looking at Le Fay, it was clear that she was very interested in what they were doing and was blown away.
"L-Let me say this first, I didn't peek. I was just worried that the two young people might not be able to control themselves and do something irreversible, so I've been on guard. At first, I was relieved to see Kuroka-sama let Reino-sama rest on her lap, but I never thought the two of you would be so brave! It's so embarrassing to watch..."
Le Fay hurriedly explained with a confused face. Reino could only see the darkness in his eyes. Could it be that he had seen the image back then without holding back?
"When will we meet Le Fay?"
"While you were still sleeping. After we escaped from Athena, I had contacted her and was scheduled to meet here. When you woke up, Le Fay had just gone to buy something, so you haven't seen her yet."
It seems so. After looking carefully, Le Fay had coffee, red tea, and other drinks in her hand. That's too reckless.
'If I had thought about it, it would have been easy to realize that there was a third person here, but I have...' — The embarrassed Reino wanted to dig a hole and bury himself in it.
"Well, if both of you don't mind, go ahead. Don't mind me; just pretend I'm not here."
"Of course. Since Le Fay already said that, let's hurry—"
"Don't be in such a hurry and we don't need to continue...? I'm planning to return to Tokyo, so I need Le Fay-san to drive a car. Kuroka you can use the 'normal way' to teach me the rest." Reino gave his order in depression. Could he beat Athena like this? He felt very unsure.
A portal suddenly appeared. Three people emerged from it. Reino, Kuroka, and Le Fay finally realized that someone else was spying on them besides Le Fay. Reino looked at the other side of where Le Fay appeared, On the far left there was a handsome man with white hair smiling wryly at the girl's antics, while the man on the far left of the group was a young man wearing clothes like china armor that was usually worn during wartime. three countries. His face was like that of a human but there was a young man with black hair cut short, carrying the Ruyi Jingu Bang stick, it was no ordinary stick.
…
Night. Moon, stars, and darkness filled the sky; it was Goddess Athena's favorite time. But the nights during this era remained too bright. The night is full of man-made light. Even when looking at the sky, the starlight will feel weak and almost invisible. The fear and aversion that humans have towards the dark didn't start recently. In that deserted city, Athena walked leisurely. Even though she seemed to be stepping forward slowly, she was doing it in a way that was impossible for a human to do. Her goal was the nostalgic aura emanating from the Gorgoneion.
As Athena continued to advance along the coastal road, the smell of the [Serpent] continued to grow stronger. The time of resurrection is near. Athena's face couldn't help but smile. Even though the people who walked past were mesmerized, Athena didn't care. It was natural for humans to be fascinated by gods. It was also natural for humans to worship the names of the gods. It is natural for humans to pray to gods, to expect blessings in return. It was just as natural for humans who encountered a [Heretic God] who descended to Earth to lose themselves, become chaotic, or go insane. Neither of them deserved her slightest attention.
If Reino Barack was here, the two of them might have to fight for their existence; But right now, she didn't even have to worry about that. What happened to that person after? The recent scene reappeared in Athena's mind. Even if she defeated him with her Death Spirit, would he die that easily? Most likely not; A human who can kill a god is a god slayer. The demon lord, the lord of chaos, the god slayer. Since he was among those with titles equivalent to gods, then he might be able to rise from the dead. That's good too.
If that happened, she would only beat him by force once again; Either way, she didn't need to defend herself from the other god slayers. She was finally able to relax a bit. Athena's mood improved, and the traits she carefully concealed exposed themselves. This place is unbearable. The world that man created was completely unnatural to her. Athena walked leisurely through the city at night.
Every time she stepped forward, every time she breathed, a light in the city would go out. At first, the street lights had gone out. That's followed by homes, offices, department stores, shops, bars, neon signs, and car lights; Even flashlights and small light bulbs can avoid it. All artificial light should be gone. As soon as the hypocrisy of the sun is gone, the city must be filled with the purity of darkness. An endless abyss of darkness that would make it impossible to see even a few meters ahead.
People who saw the abnormality gathered sadly in the streets. The people on the streets could only hold back their instinctive fear as they looked up at the dark sky. nThose lucky enough to return home safely were bewildered as their home was plunged into darkness. People gathered in front of their two- and three-story homes and offices, shaken by their uneasiness while expecting a light that showed no sign of returning. Their aversion to darkness. Their longing for light. Humans hold back their anxiety, fear, despair, and weakness as they wait for the sun to come back. This is the night it should be.
Sensing what people felt, Athena declared her command in satisfaction. "By the decree of true Athena. Night, reveal yourself, dispel the grace of the sun, and wipe out the fire of Prometheus. The starry sky and dark wind will re-create the ancient night."
Athena sang as she continued to move forward. After spreading the night, only the Gorgoneion remained. That's right, he wasn't completely satisfied yet. [Heretic God] Athena is the god of earth and darkness. [Heretic God] Athena is also a tailed serpent with the body of a cow in other words Athena is a dragon. The great enemy of the Garuda. It is said that after the dragons licked the drops of Amerta and freed his mother, Garuda hunted the dragons. Of course, he did not kill them all, it is said that only a few survived because they separated themselves from their brothers who were slaughtered by the garuda.
The dark and deep night without a shred of light had returned. What remains is a strong, rich smell of life on Earth. "I'm looking for the Gorgoneion! Athena will retrieve the ancient Serpent tonight!" Every time Athena sang her divine words, the silhouettes of birds would appear in the sky.
A bird that continues to fly without noticing the night can only be an owl. Beneath dozens of flying owls, Athena continued her path without stopping, chasing after the scent of the Gorgoneion...
—————
An abnormality that quickly threw the entire city into paralysis. All lights have gone out regardless of size. All vehicles have been stopped; Even the train couldn't move anymore. It was just past 9 pm. Although there are fewer pedestrians than during the day, there are still many office workers and residents. Dragged into this situation, some people became angry, some people looked around them anxiously. Some panicked too. Anger, turmoil, panic, confusion, worry…
Despite being plunged into darkness, as long as one remained calm, it was easy to see the plight of others nearby.
"This is amazing. These things are going too fast."
"Amakasu-san, your words are so disrespectful, please be a little more serious."
In A car that refuses to Move. As the young driver muttered to himself, Nakiri Erina rebuked him openly. A member of the History Compilation Committee named Amakasu Touma received news from Erina that the historical object was under Reino's possession and that Athena had arrived in Japan. He immediately meets Erina who had just been entrusted by Kusanagi Reino to guard the heirloom.
Even though the two of them had only seen each other for a few hours, Erina had already come to her senses. This History Compilation Committee member named Amakasu Touma didn't take it seriously.
"Ah, sorry— but in a situation like this, whether we're serious or not doesn't help the situation in the slightest. Having said that, why worry more about it?"
"I'm talking about your attitude. Geez, be it Amakasu-san or Reino-sama, they're too careless, it bothers me!"
Erina complained as she continued to observe the situation outside. The unnatural existence of a [Heretic God] seems to have appeared in Urayasu's territory. Amakasu brought this news to Nanao Shrine about twenty minutes ago. He was assigned to investigate the area, so he brought Erina from Shiba Park to Tsukishima. Then it happened suddenly.
The vehicle Amakasu operated suddenly experienced a rapid deceleration, slowed to a little more than pedestrian speed, and after two minutes came to a complete stop. After looking around, they finally realized that all the street lights had also gone out, and so had the other lights in the city. A large number of stopped cars were put on the road. But unlike traffic jams, they wouldn't move forward no matter how long they waited. Many drivers abandoned their cars, fidgeting anxiously as they looked around.
"Erina-san, how about we leave the car and walk? Waiting here won't do anything."
"Is that okay? Leaving the car here could cause people trouble."
"With the current situation, there's no point in worrying about it— come on. Let's go."
Due to Amakasu's encouragement, after she got out of the car, Erina also stepped out. The two of them moved toward the sidewalk. Their vision fell into complete darkness. Their only source of light was the hazy moonlight and faintly visible stars.
"The domain of darkness… looks like the ones who descended here are [Heretic Gods] with the attributes of a night god— plus they spread influence non-stop, what a hassle," Amakasu grumbled nearby.
Compared to when the first news arrived, many things fell under the influence of the gods too quickly. To create such a powerful and great influence, as expected of Athena—the most powerful goddess of Greek Mythology. But why did she spread darkness? Erina didn't understand this part.
—Erina trembled. No, it wasn't cold, but because as a hime-Miko, she sensed the presence of a god approach. She thought of the 'Gorgoneion' placed on the obsidian badge of the Nanao Shrine. It was a strong will to find an important item. No errors; This was a sign that the [Heretic God] was approaching the artifact's existence. Erina trembled.
The place is in danger; Just like insects attracted by light, Athena would eventually reach the location of the Gorgoneion. It was a predictable scenario.
"Amakasu-san, we must leave this place. We must leave this dark area and return to Nanao Shrine. I must return to protect the [Gorgoneion]."
"You mean an item similar to Medusa, I see. However, this stage is huge. Now, if the demon lord that Erina-san acknowledged was real — Reino Barack, would arrive, then all the actors would be complete."
"That's why I said, you are too ignored !"
The two of them continued walking through the darkness without any light to guide them. Amakasu's steps didn't show the slightest bit of hesitation, as if he had gotten used to the darkness. Erina took each step carefully as she followed the only road sign — Amakasu's shadow, and even then she sometimes found herself on the verge of tripping. Just the disappearance of light from the city could cause everyone discomfort. The darkness exerted an unbearable pressure, gave off endless fear.
