Scourge of God
Well then, it's time to say goodbye.
My friend, Jason ...
Samael finished his drink, took a step, and vanished into the spatial rift. The Interstellar City Mountain Range that had been supporting him collapsed with a roar, falling onto the continent of Atlantis and forming a magnificent tomb.
On the Sea of Okeanos, the ancient serpent gazed at the gradually disintegrating Interstellar City Mountain Range and the vast Atlantis, its expression calm and profound, yet the corners of its mouth inadvertently curled up slightly.
Yes, it's just a temporary farewell, not a final goodbye.
Because, perhaps soon, they will meet again.
Not only with Jason, but also with all the Argo Heroes who died on this journey...
The answer to the question of how to gather the souls of the dead and allow them to be reborn with flesh is naturally the divine seal!
In fact, just before the Argo set sail, Samael took over the front-line defenses, Zeus urgently withdrew to Athens. The purpose of those three hours was to secretly imprint divine marks on the Argo Heroes who were going to war, so as to protect their souls from being destroyed.
Once they die, the consciousness of the Argo Heroes automatically flows back to Elysium, awaiting the reunion of their souls and the regeneration of their bodies.
The reason the Argo Heroes weren't told this was because simply being fearless wasn't enough to create a miracle and seize that one in ten thousand chance.
They have to fight desperately to survive in dangerous situations in order to have a chance to turn the tide!
That's certainly true.
He won his bet.
As for what comes next, he will naturally wait for these old friends to be resurrected in Elysium Heroic Spirit, at which time he will personally celebrate for these Argo Heroes.
However, the divine seal is not omnipotent. The time it takes for each hero to return varies, and it will probably take some time to reunite the group on the Argo.
Fortunately, he has plenty of time.
Of course, Samael must have been taking precautions to prevent Zeus from using his old friends for his own purposes.
Not only Hecate, the owner of the Loom of Fate, stood by his side, but Medea, the Elysium, is also an insurance policy.
As for that night, risking the complete collapse of the front lines to ensure the survival of the Argo Heroes, Samael had already made up his mind whether it was worth the gamble.
Carry firewood for the people, so that they may not freeze to death in the wind and snow;
To pave the way for the world, we must not let it be trapped in thorns;
Let them die for hope, not let them fall into despair!
He will only truly regret it if he doesn't do something about it.
Suddenly, Samael sensed something and turned to look at Zeus's eyes, which were flashing with lightning. His Serpent Eyes met Zeus's eyes, which were flashing with lightning.
Undisguised scrutiny and apprehension clashed fiercely in the air, creating a stagnant and oppressive atmosphere.
With the external enemy eliminated, what comes next is...
Click!
Just as the atmosphere between the two King of Gods was becoming increasingly delicate, the almost transparent sky shattered like glass.
In the expanding, dark void, an arm stretching for thousands of miles, composed entirely of milky-white light patterns, slowly pressed down. Its slightly curved fingers probed into the Sea of Okeanos, retrieving the wreckage of the starship from the ruins of Atlantis.
"Aaaa!"
At the same time, the Origin Goddess Tiamat's expression changed drastically, her Cross Star Pupils suddenly contracted, and she emitted a dazzling and powerful light towards the giant hand of light.
However, in just a few breaths, the hole pierced by the giant hand quickly healed, and the Origin Goddess then uttered a high-pitched hymn, overflowing with anger and restlessness.
The only thing that could make Tina act this way is...
Samael's gaze was fixed, his face grim, and he forced out the difficult words through clenched teeth.
King of Kings - Marduk!
Or perhaps, he should be called— God Jehovah!
At this moment, with a slight exertion of force from the index finger and thumb of that giant hand, the metal shell exploded into particles, revealing a tiny crystal shaped like a teardrop, which shone brightly in the sunlight, within which an infinite galaxy could be faintly seen.
"He wants to seize the broken core of Seferu!"
Marduk's sudden appearance made Samael sense something was wrong, and his expression changed drastically. He immediately shouted a warning to Zeus beside him.
The longevity of the Star-Seeded Soldier is too abnormal! What's more, this thing also has some kind of connection with the Weipa of the Tear Star.
Even if the core of Seferu is damaged, keeping it would still be a menace!
You are the Thunderbolt That Tears Stars!
Divine Grace Hymn!
In an instant, Zeus and Samael acted in perfect unison, their blue-white lightning and red-black inverted cross striking the claw that reached out from the void.
However, amidst the violent explosion, the luminous arm quickly healed the wound and accelerated its withdrawal, while the fingers and palms had already retreated into the great rift in the void in the blink of an eye.
"Core!"
Samael frowned and roared, rising into the air with his body arching backward in an exaggerated arc. The Cross Spear, frantically infused with power, ignited with blazing red and black flames, poised to fire like a ballista.
Zeus immediately understood, and the lightning-shaped spear of light instantly coalesced in his hand.
Screech! Screech!
Arcs of light streaked across the sky, simultaneously striking the golden-blue star core held in the giant hand. As they collided, a surging wave of ether exploded with a deafening roar.
Instantly, the star core, which had been hit squarely, disintegrated and broke into several large and small shimmering crystals, which floated around in the void.
The blazing white fingers and palms, which had re-condensed, immediately grasped and gathered the drifting chips.
Dream on! Space restrictions!
Just then, the figure with wings of light fluttering in the air smiled coldly, his Serpent Eyes opening and closing as he reached out and grasped something with his fingers.
In an instant, the Cross Spear thrown near the giant hand began to hum and vibrate, twisting and transforming into a jet-black scythe that slashed and cut through the void.
As the power of spatial destruction was activated, silver-gray cracks formed all around, preemptively swallowing up the fragments of Seferu after its collapse, leaving them nowhere to be found.
"My whip! My blade! Damn serpent, it's you again!"
An angry roar came from the void, the sound of clenched teeth conveying extreme hatred.
Long whip... Star Core Fragment...
Suddenly, Samael's expression changed drastically as a certain word stirred up long-forgotten memories.
After Seferu's star core disintegrates, his main body will drift to other dimensional bubbles and be reborn as a swordswoman girl named Attila. She will lead the Huns, ravage Rome, and establish her vast empire.
And she was given the title of— the Scourge of God!
"You're the one who lured the Star-Seeded Soldier here!"
Having figured out the key to it, Samael instantly understood why Marduk, the mantis, had appeared so coincidentally. He immediately glared at him coldly, and a strong sense of crisis overwhelmed him.
If this is all a conspiracy, then the moment when the true intentions are revealed will be shown!
At the same time, a golden beam of light, stretching for thousands of feet, broke through the shattered boundary wall and projected itself over Greece, looking down from above with a sinister gaze.
"A bunch of fools, you've realized it too late! You ants, now become the ladder that allows me to ascend to godhood!"
