A Catastrophic Fight Between Women 1/3

Mount Taygetus, Peloponnese Peninsula.

A herd of glossy golden deer grazed and drank in the forest, their bright eyes occasionally darting up to survey their surroundings.

The most eye-catching of them all is undoubtedly the elk with long antlers, standing on the hillside, drinking clean spring water, enjoying a lush meadow all to itself. The pair of antlers on its head, like outstretched branches, exude a natural and wild charm.

However, these little creatures were completely unaware of two pairs of peering eyes in the bushes not far away, and a bronze arrow with its sharp edge nocked on a bowstring.

Hmph, I've been chasing you for ages, and I've finally caught you.

Concealed by the leaves, Athena arched her body, her eyes narrowed, her gaze fixed on her prey, her arrow aimed at the deer's forelegs, and she pursed her lips and hummed softly.

If it weren't for the plan to capture them alive, there wouldn't be so much trouble.

As the Goddess of Wisdom inhaled and exhaled, her body muscles undulated rhythmically. When her breath reached its peak, she released the arrow in one fluid motion.

The arrow was as fast as a shooting star, carrying with it the air currents that had been torn apart, and arrived in an instant.

"When!"

However, at the very moment Athena fired her arrow, a strong wind swept across a gentle slope opposite, and blades of grass, severed by the sharp golden arrow, scattered and fell in a flurry.

Immediately afterwards, the tips of the two arrows collided, and a piercing metallic clang echoed in the air.

In an instant, after a brief stalemate, the bronze arrow, made of inferior material, exploded, scattering fragments everywhere.

The golden arrow, lacking sufficient power, flew backward with a mournful cry after being struck by the force, and stuck crookedly in the trunk of a tree.

"Moo!"

The startled deer, their expressions filled with terror, scattered and fled.

The divine power emanating from both sides caused the seven or eight small creatures that had been specifically targeted to buckle and tremble on the ground.

"Who!"

With a warning shout, two figures leaped from behind the bushes in a split second, their eyes following the trajectory of the arrows, sharply aiming at the source.

"Hey, you over there! Why are you stealing my prey...?"

The girl with long, flowing silver hair, standing 165cm tall, and petite and lithe was the first to frown and raise her eyebrows in protest.

A hunting leash with gold as its base and jewels embellishments, a long skirt that transitions from red to hue from tail to tip, and light red hunting boots...

Athena glanced at the girl's attire, seemingly lost in thought.

Not only is it exquisitely designed, but its materials and forging techniques are also of the highest grade. It is also covered with layers of Sorcery Array and runes, and has diverse functions, including tracking, sensing, and stealth.

Tsk, Olympus goddess, why aren't you staying at home? Why have you come to the mountains of the Peloponnese?

"What do you mean by 'steal'? I spotted this prey, Ai Ai, first. If you don't believe me, you can come closer and smell it; it's covered in the tracking powder from my trap."

Even though she had a rough idea of the identity of the hairy girl opposite her, Athena still wouldn't back down and continued to argue with all her might.

This stag king was clever, and the Goddess of Wisdom who had wreaked havoc on many wild animals and monsters in Mount Taygetus was also somewhat careless.

As a result, the hastily set trap was devoured by the deer, which then fled.

However, her habitually left-behind contingencies ensured that her wisdom and brilliance did not diminish her prestige.

At this moment, the silver-haired girl holding the hunting rifle stepped forward, and her expression turned ugly as she smelled the faint yet lingering fragrance of the deer's fur.

"Are you sure? Can I go now?"

Athena calmly countered with a question, and before the hunting girl could respond, she confidently stepped forward and tied a noose around the little creature's neck.

However, as soon as Athena made a move to pull, the end of the rope was tightened by a pair of arms.

"You cannot take your prey away! My name is Artemis, Goddess of Hunting! These animals of the forest are mine!"

The silver-haired girl's pretty face tightened, and when she uttered the Divine Name, she looked arrogant.

"What's wrong with God? Just because you say it's yours doesn't mean it is. Did you give birth to it, raise it, teach it, or protect it? What is born of nature and grows naturally belongs to whoever sees it first. That's what we call public ownership!"

Athena turned around and sneered, showing no sign of backing down, a hint of disdain flashing deep in her eyes.

Tch, those little brats from Olympus, just like their fathers.

The Goddess of Wisdom, taking advantage of her height, glanced down with disdain, but when her gaze fell upon the hairy little brat opposite her, whose chest was being tightly bound and lifted, revealing two bulging mounds of fat, her face darkened.

Tsk, at 165cm, he's actually not small in some ways.

"You!"

At this moment, Artemis saw that the girl opposite her, upon hearing her Divine Name, showed no intention of bowing down in worship. She was speechless with anger and indignation, and in her anger, she increased the force of her grip.

As the two struggled against each other, the rope, unable to bear the weight, snapped in an instant. Both swayed, then regained their balance, their gazes somber.

"What's mine is mine! You can't have it!"

"What, you're being unreasonable now, resorting to robbery?"

The two goddesses glared at each other coldly and then suddenly raised their arms to attack.

"Bang!"

The two fists clashed, creating a surging wave of air and a sharp sonic boom. Dry branches and fallen leaves were swept up and scattered, shattering inch by inch in mid-air.

Ta-da!

Artemis retreated seven or eight steps, each footprint sinking several inches into the ground, leaving radial cracks around her, before finally regaining her balance. Her slender arms were sore and numb, her blood and qi were surging, and her cheeks flushed.

Athena, assuming the Pancrasian stance, stood firmly on the ground, slowly retracting her stance, and hooked her index finger forward, with a slightly provocative air.

"If you want to rob someone, you'd better see if you even have the guts!"

"Alright, then whoever grabs it first keeps it!"

The proud Artemis was also enraged. Without saying a word, she immediately bent her sword, nocked an arrow, and shot it.

Athena raised her right hand and precisely caught the arrow that had been shot toward her left shoulder blade. With a burst of strength from her five fingers, she snapped the golden arrow in two.

"Little dwarf, it's my turn!"

"Don't be so smug, you female gorilla!"

The two silver-haired goddesses clashed fiercely, each shouting angrily, and engaged in a fierce battle in the forest.

Having just experienced Athena's terrifying explosive power and close combat skills during the close encounter, Artemis decisively created distance, wielded her hunting rifle, and shot while moving, making full use of the rifle archer's mobility.

As the golden light pierced the sky, the divine power enveloping the Goddess of Wisdom was instantly broken through several layers as she swung her arm forward to strike. This was due to the flashing light at the tip of the arrow.

Fortunately, Athena was experienced in battle and immediately moved aside with small steps to avoid the arrows.

The arrow pierced a cypress tree, its tail feathers trembling and humming. The wound on the tree was enveloped by a gray aura, and signs of tearing, withering, and decay appeared one after another.

Purification, curse?

This is really tricky; we'll have to get serious about it!

Athena remained calm, immediately using Goatskin Divine Shield in one hand and a bronze spear in the other to parry and strike, then charged forward with a powerful stomp.

Even the combined power of Purifying Arrow and Plague Arrow couldn't bring her down! Damn it!

Artemis, caught in a dilemma, frowned deeply and cursed through gritted teeth.

At the same time, the vibrations and booming sounds from the two goddesses' hands spread in all directions, startling the birds in the forest.

Something's happened!

Dozens of gazes from both sides immediately converged on this spot, and figures rushed towards the source of the sound.
