The Foolish Bird Must Die 4/4
However, in the blink of an eye, a streak of light whizzed past Samael.
"Didn't you hear what I just said? You idiot!"
"Tch, you think you can just run away after you've finished eating? Not so easy!"
"How about I give you a ton of gems as compensation?"
"Really? You said it! You can't go back on your word!"
"..."
"Uh, why are you looking at me like that? I said once you've had a ton of kisses, there are no returns! I'll just take the loss and let you kiss me a few more times?"
On the celestial ship, Ishtar, beneath those chilling Serpent Eyes, shrank back in fear, her eyes darting around erratically, before finally offering a dry laugh and leaning closer to her pretty face.
"Kiss me my foot! You're driving me crazy!"
"Hey, hey, hey, can you pay the bill first before we talk about life and death? Even believers have to pay the full amount of gems when they pray to this goddess. What you're doing is blasphemy, a much more serious crime. You have to pay more! Ha, don't even think about getting rid of me until you pay it all back!"
Samael's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. Faced with this shameless goddess who knew full well what was wrong and chose to pretend to be stupid to follow him, he was speechless. He cursed a few times without much effect, then turned around and sped forward.
Almost at the same time he set off, Ereshkigal, Tina, Gilgamesh, and the Three Goddesses of Mount of Ares followed closely behind without hesitation, heading towards the Stormy Sea Region.
Following this, the Olympus gods and their subordinate Taboo of the Gods began to act, solemnly advancing forward amidst layers of obstacles.
At this moment, the seawater surged, and under the radiation of the Star Ring, Colossal Titan and aberrations reappeared, sweeping across the land and overwhelming Athens with their reinforcements.
The seventh wave of attack!
The Daughter of Calamity leaned lazily against the head of the statue, watching with interest the tens of thousands of Colossal Titan and aberrations charging ashore on the wasteland, as if observing a landscape.
This might be the final battle...
Being able to appreciate humanity and the gods, and being cleansed from the earth's surface, is quite a pleasant experience...
Just as Pandora's malice toward life was quietly flowing through her heart, a fierce wind swept in from behind, and a wing slapped her head, interrupting her reverie.
"What are you standing there for? These things are coming up! Set up defenses now!"
The Harpy a certain wicked woman, glared at him with sharp eyes.
"Speaking of which, you haven't had a proper meal since you landed on Ayu Island. Since this world is about to end anyway, why not indulge yourself a little and not mistreat yourself..."
Before Pandora could finish her seductive words, the Harpy snorted and slapped the Witch's head with her iron-hard wings.
"Hmph! You really think I'm that gullible! Don't even think about anything malicious!"
"Tsk, given this situation, the destruction of humanity and the gods is only a matter of time. Is it really necessary to fight so desperately?"
"My mission is to keep a close watch on you, to defend Athens, and to protect this human race. Even if they are to die, they must die after us, after the gods! The rest is none of my concern!"
At this point, Harpy instinctively stood up straight, looking impassioned, while glancing at the snake pattern on Pandora's chest, his expression full of threat.
Tch, another stupid bird tamed by that guy. How boring!
Pandora, without pausing, raised her hand and gestured to the jailer guarding her.
"What?"
"Help me up..."
"You have legs, can't you move them?"
"Nonsense, do you think I wanted to sit on this cold, hard, and painful place? After all this time, I'm exhausted."
Harpy reluctantly left, but then Mi turned and grabbed Pandora by the scruff of her neck, like an eagle seizing a chick, quite directly and roughly.
The Daughter of Calamity felt a sharp pain rise in her chest again. She obediently reached out and manipulated the Black Mud, shrinking it to surround Athens, and did her best to summon shadow followers to form a defensive line.
As the seventh wave of impact surged in, Pandora's delicate body shook violently, her face turned pale, and she almost collapsed. Harpy hurriedly caught the Daughter of Calamity, who seemed to have had her bones removed, and supported her to maintain the operation of the defense line.
The black mudflow that stretched across the front like a river, under the impact, had become a rubber band stretched to its limit, breaking in dozens of places in the blink of an eye, and the massive, swarming Colossal Titan and aberrations surged forward.
As the distance between the monsters and her rapidly decreased, the serpentine pattern branded on Pandora's chest was instantly activated, sinisterly intertwining with the depths of her soul.
It seems that if things continue like this, she will be completely devoured before humanity is even wiped out!
Pandora bit her cherry lips and immediately raised her hand upwards. A red and black cube that kept changing shape emerged from the Sorcery Array.
Let's give it our all!
As the Daughter of Calamity suddenly clenched her fists, the magic box that was intimately connected to her instantly collapsed, turning into a murky torrent of mud that cascaded outwards like a waterfall, enveloping the quarter of Athens that had not yet fallen.
It was a success!
Seeing this, Harpy, whose heart was in her throat, cheered and spread her wings. The Daughter of Calamity, whom she was supporting, fell headfirst off the colossus like a green onion stuck in a pile of rubble.
You're all going to die, why are you dragging me down with you!
If I get the chance, sooner or later I'll stew all those stupid birds like the Caucasus Eagle, Circe, and Harpy!
Pandora deeply loathed a certain hawk-tamer and his henchmen. The fact that the Evil of This World, an enemy of mankind, had fallen to such a state filled this leash-bound Witch with grief and indignation.
Although Harpy may not fully understand why she is stationed in Athens, as the Daughter of Calamity who is closely related to the human community, one can guess the general idea.
The activation of the Alien Key seems to be accelerating the transformation and erosion of the world.
Meanwhile, the White Colossal Titan at sea became increasingly resistant to the powers of the gods, becoming more and more difficult to deal with, and its self-repair speed also increased dramatically.
Once the process is fully completed, either the World Bubble will collapse and the gods' power will be seized; or Seferu will absorb all the civilizational elements of the Age of Gods, advance to the first stage, and sweep away the remaining resistance; or the main body of the Tear Star will descend, and tens of thousands of Star-Seeded Soldiers will be deployed...
In short, either outcome is extremely perilous.
Her task was to preserve humanity and slow Sephalus's encroachment on the Greek world.
These tiny lives, though fragile, are invaluable in the grand scheme of things, like the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Unfortunately, humanity is merely a spiderweb holding the scales of victory in Seferu's favor; it's only a matter of time before they snap.
The real battlefield that will determine the fate of Greece remains in that Stormy Sea Region.
But, dear Goddess... you all... don't have time...
Pandora struggled to her feet, her crimson eyes gleaming with schadenfreude as she looked towards the turbulent, Stormy Sea Region.
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!
The star patterns shifted in brightness and darkness, the halo rotated, and three dazzling beams of light shot into the sky, gradually opening the gate to this world leading to the Abyssal Layers of the starry sky, welcoming the arrival of the Judgment Star!
