The Divine Right of a Certain Composite Anime

The Dark Star was thrown out by Athena's hand, and an extreme suction emerged from the star. Roy could see everything within his sight – snow, rocks, peaks, trees, the earth, the air, rivers, icebergs – anything that existed on the planet's surface was inevitably pulled into that star, becoming part of the Underworld.

This was a storm of gravity!

"Woooooooooooooo------"

The wind raged, like a devil's fury. Roy's legs were planted on the ground like tree roots, but it was useless. Even when he channeled his Magic Power, he couldn't stop the near-absolute suction. The terrifying Dark Star was like the maw of a primordial beast, roaring and devouring everything.

He opened his mouth to say something, but found that in this absolute space, even sound couldn't escape.

The entire Alps mountain range was collapsing with a roar. Anyone who witnessed this scene could only mistake it for divine punishment!

"Truly a terrifying Sword of Wisdom."

Roy sighed inwardly.

"Pfft pfft pfft pfft pfft pfft pfft pfft------"

Roy's body was like a tattered rag. Although his muscles and bones were still stubbornly holding onto the ground, the blood flowing within him was being attracted by the Black Sword. Countless capillaries around his body burst, and blood sprayed from his pores, instantly dyeing him red and turning him into a blood man.

...Seeking flowers...

With so many wounds, Roy felt numb, devoid of pain.

"This is the downside of 'Divine Right,' you have to confirm the opponent's 'maximum output.' Fortunately, Athena's move didn't instantly kill me, otherwise, this sword would have truly taken my life."

"...But now it's confirmed. Athena's strongest secret technique, her peerless wisdom, is all here. My right hand has adjusted its output. Even if you were a real black hole, I would shatter this universe! Let me defeat the wisdom you pride yourself on!"

Roy, who had already turned into a blood man, had a thought. The space on his right shoulder began to twist strangely. A Golden Hand stirred, as if crossing the universe and traversing dimensions to arrive.

...00

In that pitch-black world devoid of any light, a colossal hand suddenly appeared, obscuring the sky. Its divine radiance even caused Athena's wisdom to freeze.

"What is this?!"

Athena, who had used the 'Black Sword' and was standing calmly by, awaiting the inevitable outcome, gasped, her pupils shrinking in shock.

She understood the power of her 'Black Sword' perfectly. At the edge of this Dark Star, it was like the 'event horizon' of a black hole, a boundary that warped space-time. Only darkness existed here; all other colors would vanish. Athena herself couldn't even see what was happening within the range of the Black Sword's strike.

She only knew that when she unleashed this sword, any enemy, no matter how powerful, would perish, torn apart by the immense gravity, and fall into the Underworld.

But now, golden color appeared in this darkness. The hand that could 'shatter the universe,' containing all miracles, appeared before her. This was something Athena's wisdom could not comprehend at all, something that, upon merely glancing at it, would evoke a sense of sublime reverence bordering on madness.

Athena felt a sense of crisis. She quickly arched her body, summoning the Shield of Medusa to block in front of her.

Then, in the darkness where no sound should exist, she heard a Word Spirit:

"I ask you, 'Who is most like a god'!"

The darkness in Athena's eyes was completely engulfed by light. If her Black Sword was the black hole of the universe, then this light was the simultaneous explosion of trillions of supernovas! Chapter 86: The Goddess Before Me Might Have Heatstroke!

A dazzling radiance flashed, covering all the darkness. The black hole, capable of leveling the planet's surface, turned into the flash of a supernova explosion.

If viewed from outside Earth, one would see an extremely brilliant light flash first in the Alps of Switzerland, Europe. Then, this radiance shot out in all directions into the universe, spreading out in near-Earth orbit. In the blink of an eye, the light formed a circle, extending north to the Arctic Circle, west across the English Channel into the Atlantic Ocean, south of the Mediterranean Sea, and east to the border of Europe and Asia, encompassing almost all of Europe.

In an instant, everyone in Europe saw the entire sky turn golden-yellow, causing widespread panic.

Magicians and government officials across Europe naturally saw this radiance covering the entire continent. As for how they would explain it to the public afterward, no one knew.

The radiance gradually dimmed until it disappeared at its brightest. A mountain range in the Alps, "Seven-Eight-Three," had been reduced almost to a plain. All visible peaks had vanished, and the snowfields were gone. It was unknown if the destruction of this section of the mountain range would cause future changes in celestial phenomena.

This was not the destructive miracle caused by Roy's "Light of the Right," but the surface destruction wrought by Athena's "Black Sword."

Roy's "Light of the Right" targeted Athena. Therefore, although the radiance was exaggerated and covered the entire European continent, its actual destruction to the material world was almost nil.

Roy sometimes wondered how his right hand could target a planet as an enemy, and how he would measure a planet's maximum output. If he could complete the measurement, his right hand, with a swing, should be able to tear a planet apart.

Extrapolating further, if he could target a star, a solar system, a galaxy, a galactic supercluster, a local group, a supercluster, or even the entire universe as an enemy, then it would truly become the 'Universe-Shattering Hand.'

Roy believed that such miraculous power was contained within his right hand, as it was the ability that a "Demon God" could achieve. He simply couldn't reach that level yet and couldn't fully utilize the entire power of his right hand.

"This is absurd..."

On the shattered surface of the Alps, Athena lay on the ground, breathing heavily.

"This is too absurd. I actually lost just like this... I don't accept it, I don't acknowledge it, I... I cannot accept this outcome!"

Athena had no wounds on her body. The bruises and cuts were from when Roy had punched her earlier. The attack of the "Light of the Right" was an incomprehensible, indescribable attack method with no process. It was neither a physical collision nor magical destruction. Those hit by the Light of the Right would, like Athena, fall into confusion and disbelief. Marquis Voban had been the same before.

Because they had no idea why they had lost, and lost so thoroughly.

"Ugh..."

Athena propped herself up with her arm, trying to sit up, but found that even such a simple action was extremely difficult.

The "Black Sword" was Athena's trump card, but it wasn't a move that would render her incapable of fighting afterward. On the contrary, with Athena's power, she could even unleash the "Black Sword" two or three times before becoming exhausted.

After using the "Black Sword" on Roy, she should have had ample strength to continue fighting, but...

Her divine power was gone, her stamina was gone, her energy had vanished. It was as if that mysterious right hand, with a flash of light, had taken all of Athena's divine power, stamina, and energy.

"No, it didn't take my divine power. That light isn't that superficial..."

Athena used her wisdom, falling into deep thought, and finally realized with a start: "...That light took my 'victory.' Everything that could lead me to victory disappeared. Because 'victory' was absent, I was bound to 'defeat'... Unreasonable, unreasonable, this ability is too unreasonable!"

Her amber pupils gazed at Roy, who was slowly walking towards her, and at the mysterious hand on Roy's right shoulder.

"Hahahahaha!! You kill me, you kill me! This hand isn't a god's Authority at all. I swear, no god possesses such Authority! This is your power, Roy Crowley. You were born with the power to save the world and destroy it. The so-called Authority of Michael was merely a catalyst to bring out the power you already possessed!"

Athena burst into laughter, her voice like a zither played under the moon. Even in defeat, there was no trace of the fallen or the ugly.

"What's so funny, Athena?"

Roy slowly walked to Athena's side, covered in blood, like a living embodiment of it. From the outside, he looked more like the loser, but in reality, Athena had no strength left to resist. As a Demon King, he could do anything he pleased to the goddess.

"A human, even before becoming a Campione, possessed a power that all gods combined couldn't match. How can that not be funny! I laugh at the vastness of the world, I laugh at myself being like a frog in a well, I laugh at the arrogance of the gods. Roy Crowley, I finally see infinite possibilities in you, possibilities that even fate cannot bind! If it's you, I believe it will lead to a different outcome!"

The goddess laughed heartily, her graceful and alluring body shaking with mirth, her chest undulating like waves.

After a long while, she finally stopped laughing, her noble face serious. "...I too was blinded by my own knowledge. When you proposed the agreement, I guessed you had a backup plan, but I was also arrogant. I thought no matter what backup you had, it couldn't overcome my wisdom. But reality has slapped me hard."

"...Although I possess heavenly wisdom, there is a vaster world beyond the heavens, a place beyond my wisdom's reach."

Roy used his Magic Power to stop the bleeding. Fortunately, a Campione's physique was excellent; an ordinary person would have already lost too much blood and fainted by now. He endured the slight dizziness in his head and looked at his spoils of war, the famous Greek goddess. "...Athena, is the agreement still valid?"

He didn't believe the agreement could truly bind this goddess. The goddess of wisdom was also synonymous with cunning, as could be seen from mythology. This goddess was not one to follow rules blindly. If certain matters touched her bottom line, she would absolutely tear up the agreement and refute you with arrogant words.

"I'm not one to lose gracefully, and besides, do I have any room to resist now? Come, Demon King, you have won the goddess. Whether you wish to sever my head and seize my power, or vent your absurd lust upon me, as a defeated warrior, as a captive, I can only endure!"

"...However, Athena will absolutely not become your possession just like that. As soon as I find an opportunity, I will reappear before you and sever that Rakshasa's head!"

Even though she couldn't move, Athena remained proud. It wasn't a false pride, but a pride of facing all outcomes calmly, willing to bear all consequences, yet inevitably rising again to reclaim her glory.

Hmm, there's a goddess before me who has no power to resist. Not a figurative goddess, but a literal one. Especially since she's the world-famous virgin goddess. Should I have my way with her, and thus truly become enemies with no possibility of reconciliation, or should I take her abilities, but perhaps reconcile in the future? This is a difficult choice!

However, Roy soon made his decision.

Chapter Eighty-Seven: I Want It All!

Only children make choices. Adults want everything!

At this moment, Roy had made up his mind. He didn't want to give up either Athena's Authority or her person.

Under normal circumstances, this would be impossible, but Roy's current situation was very special. It was precisely the time to turn the impossible into the possible.

The blood that had been gushing from his pores like a fountain was stopped by Roy. He pressed his hand to his head, forcefully suppressing the dizziness, and gazed down at Athena, who lay on the ground with no power to resist.

Athena's amber eyes were filled with stubbornness. Although she had lost, although she had acknowledged the agreement, the proud goddess would absolutely not completely fall into captivity and be at Roy's mercy. He could forcibly possess Athena's body now, but he could never obtain her heart.

Their agreement included the point of each becoming the other's possession, but it didn't mean that after becoming each other's possession, one couldn't harbor murderous intent. The victor could dispose of the loser as they pleased, but the loser could also harbor rebellious thoughts. Even the most loyal soldier might betray their leader, let alone a Campione and a Disobedient God.

Roy and Athena's agreement did not include a clause that the loser could not resist the victor, because Roy himself found such a clause ridiculous. Where in the world was there absolute loyalty? No matter how heroic or glorious a person was, when you touched their absolute bottom line, they would become rebellious or even go mad.

"Then, according to our agreement, Athena, you are now my possession!"

Roy wiped the blood from his face and said in a deep voice.

"That's right, according to the agreement, I am now your possession, Roy. You can do anything you wish to me, and I will cooperate! I am a virgin goddess. Although I have no sexual experience, my wisdom understands everything, and I will do my best to make you feel pleasure on my body. After that, I will obey your commands."

"...However, I am the proud Athena. After that, you should be careful. I will use any opportunity I can to kill you. Therefore, I suggest that after you have possessed me, you should kill me, so that we can meet again and continue our life-and-death struggle!"

Athena lay on the ground, her undulating body breathing heavily. Although she was defeated, her tone and eyes were full of mockery, making her seem more like a victor, like a proud peacock.

But this was Athena. If Athena became subservient and fawning just because of an agreement or a defeat, then she wouldn't be Athena.

Even in death, even losing her virgin goddess status, she would not let go of her pride. This was a true goddess!

"Don't make me sound like a lustful demon. Our agreement to defeat you was to obtain your body."

Roy gave a wry smile. Although his life was somewhat unrestrained, he wasn't someone who needed to be a groom every night. Otherwise, given his current status, with the world's population of seven billion, there were always countless beautiful women. He would have been holding orgies with hundreds of women every day.

"Isn't it? Which Demon King asked me to sleep with them? Which Demon King reacted to my young body? Even my father, who couldn't control his lower body, wouldn't have such impulses towards such a young child."

Athena's lips curled slightly, her mockery deepening.

"You're comparing me to Zeus? I don't know whether to be happy or cry right now..."

Roy's mouth twitched as he retorted, "...And you can't blame me for that. It's just that you, goddess, are too charming. I was merely exhibiting a normal male physiological reaction."

"Alright, let's stop discussing this. Let's talk about serious matters."

Roy said with some impatience. Even the most indifferent person would feel displeased when treated like a pervert and looked down upon.

Athena fell silent, but the smile on her face showed that her mood had improved considerably.

This goddess, no matter what she does, always wants to be in control. Truly strong-willed.

Roy shook his head slightly in his heart.

"I will not kill you, nor will I do anything to you. I want you to become my subordinate and fight alongside me!"

Roy stated his demand.

Athena was stunned for a moment, then let out a laugh. "...That's not a funny joke. You want me to fight alongside you against the Disobedient Gods? You are a Campione, and I am a Disobedient God. Do you think we can achieve this? Even if gods belong to different mythologies, they are still my kin. Why should I help you kill my kin?"

"To answer your first question, it's true that a normal Campione and a Disobedient God cannot form an alliance. Their instincts would make them hate each other. Let alone fighting together, it's a stroke of luck if they don't stab each other in the back during a fight. But I am different, Athena. When you face me, do you truly feel that irresistible urge to kill me?"

Roy raised his head slightly and retorted.

Athena was silent for a moment. The goddess disdained to lie. She nodded her head lightly, directly admitting, "...Indeed, the scent of Rakshasa that makes Disobedient Gods detest you is very faint, so faint it's almost undetectable. Although I said I wanted to kill you, that was Athena's thought, not the destiny of a Disobedient God."

"...That's why I found you interesting and special. Even if you die, I will remember you. Hmm, I've suddenly become a little interested. So, tell me, why should I go against my kin for you?"

Athena was a spontaneous person. She was just too proud and would never bow her head, but when she encountered something that interested her, she was more willful than anyone.

"Although you are Athena, if we trace your origins, you should have been a winged serpent. Before you were crowned with the names of the gods, you were the goddess of life and death worshipped by the ancients. You ruled the earth and the underworld, presided over heavenly wisdom, and were undoubtedly the highest existence among the gods. You were unparalleled, possessing the highest Authority, the Queen of all gods."

Roy suddenly praised Athena's great accomplishments, praising her past glory, but Athena didn't look happy because she knew the words that followed would be absolutely unpleasant.

"But with the appearance of 'Steel,' and with men starting to rebel, you were driven from the highest divine throne. The supreme deity changed from the matriarchal Earth Mother Goddess to a strict father god. Starting with Zeus, the King of the Gods was born!"

"...The ancient Earth Mother Goddesses began to fall, becoming the wives, sisters, and daughters of male gods, losing their past radiance, and even degenerating into monsters, becoming monsters hunted by heroes!"

Every word Roy spoke was like a sharp sword piercing Athena's heart, piercing her most unbearable past, and then deeply rooting itself, completely reopening her wounds.

The goddess gritted her silver teeth, her face filled with anger.

"Shut up! Shut your mouth, don't spout such disgusting filth anymore!"

Athena's voice was somewhat sharp, like a woman's piercing scream.

Roy didn't rub salt in her wounds anymore, but changed the subject: "...Disobedient Gods hate Campiones, but compared to Campiones, Athena hates Steel Heroes even more! So rather than losing your life here, why not join forces with me? You've seen my power. As long as we two join forces, we will surely take revenge on those 'Steel Heroes' until we sever the 'Last Steel' and foil all the plans of the Steel Heroes!"

"...How about it, Athena! Is this reason enough!"

Athena slightly parted her cherry lips, a flicker of surprise flashing across her face, "940... You know about the Last Steel, the Last King?"

However, she quickly reacted and calmly said, "...Your eyes possess wisdom akin to mine, so it's not surprising you know this. Hmph, Roy, you have a silver tongue. You've moved me. Compared to you, the Lord of Rakshasa, I do indeed hate those 'Steels' who made us Earth Mother Goddesses lose our glory and fall, more than I hate anything, to the point where I wish I could kill them all, leaving none behind!"

Her clear, cold, and proud eyes gazed at Roy's Double Pupils. Her beautiful, world-toppling face suddenly bloomed like a hundred flowers, and she smiled enchantingly, "...My wisdom tells me you have other motives, but compared to my hatred for 'Steel,' I can overlook these matters. Reach out your hand..."

Seeing Athena's sudden beautiful smile, Roy was also stunned. After hearing her words, he instinctively reached out his hand.

Then, the goddess's jade-like, fair palm grasped his hand and brought it to her lips. Her pearly teeth parted and bit down hard.

At this moment, Roy knew his plan had succeeded.

Because he had made Athena his subordinate, it was equivalent to him possessing all of Athena's Authority.

Although he hadn't obtained her body yet, he had the opportunity to win her heart.

The most difficult part of pursuing a woman is actually how to meet her and how to intersect your lives. Once you meet the 'goddess' in your heart and have an intersection in your lives, feelings will naturally blossom.
