"This belongs to Athena, and only she can use it. If I'm not mistaken, it should also be an Authority. Rather than leaving it here, I might as well give it to Athena. That way, she can gain another Authority," Chen Fan said.
"You must be careful. Athena is not only the Goddess of Snakes, but also the Goddess of Wisdom."
"They are merely gods born from fantasy. I will shatter that fantasy."
Erica wrapped her arms around Chen Fan's neck and kissed him. After they parted a moment later, Erica said to him, "This is a kiss to celebrate your victory. Please come back safely."
At that moment, the clear, sunlit sky outside turned into Black Night. Athena had not done nothing while preparing to fight Chen Fan; earlier, she had intended to seize it by force.
However, she discovered that Chen Fan, this God Slayer, did not seem easy to deal with. The power Chen Fan wielded gave even her an extremely dangerous feeling. If she rashly entered battle, she might not gain any advantage.
She simply had not expected Chen Fan to say he would return the Gorgon Stone to her. Whether those words were true or false, she now had time to arrange a battlefield more suited to herself.
Athena belonged to the earth and darkness. Only in darkness could she unleash her greatest strength; beneath the blazing sun, her power would be greatly reduced.
By the time Chen Fan had dressed and stepped onto the balcony, the entire sky had sunk into darkness. The sudden transformation from broad daylight threw the city into chaos. Many households turned on their lights, but those lights soon went out as well.
Thick clouds blocked out even the stars in the sky, plunging most of the city into darkness.
