Even I want to kill him myself, after all, if Athena herself can't get revenge on her, a King of Athens might barely suffice!
The frail body was struck again, and Theseus felt his consciousness beginning to blur.
The dark red mist wafting from the dagger plunged into his chest seemed to be speaking to him. However, Theseus knew that this was by no means an entity he could communicate with.
He had seen those tainted by evil creatures and had tried to salvage their spiritual state, but to no avail.
He did not want to die before making his final arrangements, but even less did he want his body to become a host for evil creatures, wreaking endless disaster in the mortal realm.
"It's futile, you won't be able to escape."
The rainbow light blessed him, the power of Iris, the Goddess of the Rainbow, making Ares's speed noticeably faster.
"Athens is just ahead, but you won't have the chance to enter. Hahaha... I'll chop off the dog's head she raised, right outside her temple."
The more intense the aggression, the more turbulent the warlike intent surged.
All his strength converged in one spot, and Ares's blood-red eyes shone with divine light.
In a split second, Ares thrust his spear forward, but at the edge of that vast city in his line of sight, there seemed to be a flicker of light.
The next moment, a slender beam of light, as if defying space and distance, struck Ares's chest in an instant.
The protection formed by the flow of sacred power was like a sheet of paper, and the armor made from divine mineral was nothing but a paper shell.
A pure and concentrated energy blast pierced his chest and then passed through the clouds in the sky behind Ares.
Staring incredulously at the hole in his chest, Ares's eyes widened, glaring at the distant city.
He wanted to fight again, but as the life of his avatar ended, his divine descent also inevitably came to an end.
"Despicable Athenians, you all deserve to die!"
The echoing voice resonated through the sky, and then a column of light shot up, piercing the heavens.
Just like his arrival, the will of the descending deity returned to its divine body.
Her expression changed, and Hera, who had been following closely after Ares's avatar disappeared, paused subconsciously.
She had never known that such a method existed within Athens.
She knew the Maze Lock of Silver Moon City could counteract the divine avatars, but that was after all the masterpiece of the Goddess of the Magic Net. But what was this scene before her all about?
In the distant sky, Theseus once again clashed with Poseidon's avatar. But after a brief pause, Hera set off once again.
Her plan was so ingenious, but Aphrodite and the scene unfolding before her kept causing twists and turns.
Unknowingly, a shadow of gloom surfaced on Hera's heart.
As if everything was predestined, no matter what, she could not simply end her dispute with Athena so easily.
Instinct told Hera that perhaps Theseus was not destined to die outside the City of Athens, but that was fine too.
An early death or a late one was all the same; directly contaminated with that thing, a mortal without the essence of immortality was doomed to die.
If it couldn't be resolved without a fight, then let the earth run red with blood.
Without the troublesome Theseus, a few dozen deities against Athena alone, this battle, the advantage is mine!
With her mind made up, Hera no longer hesitated.
And in the far-off City of Athens, Athena's power also began to spread rapidly around the temple at the center.
All Gods approached the Light at the forefront and then were repelled, but with each approach, they managed to slow down that figure a little.
The rays of light that arrived instantaneously, ignoring distance, also erupted three times. Despite being on guard, many avatars still suffered greatly.
Until a certain moment, the Light that flew through the night sky finally approached the domain of Athens.
And as he crossed the sky above the city walls, Poseidon, who had been closely following, crashed into what seemed to be an indestructible barrier, and was repelled to the ground on the spot.
"Heh... It's the Aegis!"
With an ugly expression, the divine artifact suspended high in the sky. Watching this scene unfold, Poseidon found himself without any recourse.
He had not brought his Trident with him, or rather, few gods would entrust their divine artifact to a divine avatar.
On the one hand, the arrival of consciousness and divine power could not carry the divine artifact; on the other, there was the risk of loss.
But this was Athens, and Athena naturally didn't have to worry about this problem. Therefore, the divine Aegis was always left here to protect the Holy City of the goddess.
This was also the reason for her promise: as long as she was in Athens, no one could harm those she wished to protect. Unless one day All Gods besieged the city, turning every inch of land outside into their arena.
"Forget it, we had already guessed it, didn't we? With her divine artifact there, we couldn't enter Athens."
With a flash of divine light, Hera appeared beside Poseidon.
It couldn't be helped; it was all due to a previous oversight.
This chase that happened in the night sky, I'm afraid, must come to an end.
"Aphrodite, what the heck is going on with her!"
With a cold snort, Poseidon looked at the shield floating in the sky, as if Athena herself was mocking him.
"Hmph, to even lose control of her own avatar, what a failure!"
Hera did not argue, for she also thought Aphrodite was a failure.
But it was to be expected after all, as she was a manifestation of some of the Heavenly Father's power. Even Uranus would not retain his wisdom at certain times...…
