Battle Against Athena

The four then stayed at Kusanagi Shizuka's house and set up a barrier that no one could break through.

I sit and watch the blazing sun shine in the sky, and watch countless sinners turn to ashes.

Ming Ge demonstrated what cruelty is, yet he did not harm the innocent, but instead singled out all the guilty from the crowd—thus demonstrating what mercy is.

For three whole days, most of the people in the underworld were 'punished,' and a few were reduced to ashes before this agonizing trial finally came to an end.

When the door to Jinghua's house opened again, there weren't many people at the door, only six.

Kiyoshuin Ena, Mariya Yuri, Mariya Hikari, Renjo Touki, Kozuki Sakura, Sayanomiya Kaoru.

In terms of status, Sayanomiya Kaoru and Kiyoshuin Ena hold high positions, while Mariya Yuri and Mariya Hikari are also top talents.

Kozuki Sakura is Kusanagi Shizuka's cousin, Renjo Touki is Kozuki Sakura's friend and the eldest daughter of the Renjo family, one of Japan's four great families.

But the idea of an all-female cast is bound to have its own unique connotations.

"Always resorting to petty tricks."

Ming Ge chuckled, then shook her head, saying, "But then again, the higher one's status, the higher the probability of being a sinner, and the more heinous one's sins. Although it's not absolute, I think... most people are already dead."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The one who spoke was Sayanomiya Kaoru, who was only a third-year high school student, but had already become the head of the Tokyo Branch Office of the Committee for the Compilation of True History.

Although he hasn't entered the true inner circle, he is considered a high-ranking member of the official history compilation committee.

She held the highest position among those present; if we were to discuss a different level of status, it would be Kiyoshuin Ena.

In this situation, it seems that Sayanomiya Kaoru is better at conversation.

"As you said, almost the entire leadership of the Committee for the Compilation of True History was wiped out."

She said respectfully, "The sinners among them have already been punished, Your Majesty, please have mercy and forgive our sins."

"What crime have you committed?"

As soon as Ming Ge finished speaking, the girls around her knelt down with a thud.

"Don't worry, I didn't blame you."

Ming Ge knew she had truly frightened them, and shook her head, saying, "Those who are burned by the White Horse have their fate determined by the degree of their sins. The fact that you are standing here means that you have survived this trial."

"Of course, only this time."

Ming Ge took out the document and handed it to Sayanomiya Kaoru, saying, "Get this done. If you can't... I think a disobedient country has no reason to exist, right?"

"We will dedicate the entire nation's resources to completing this mission, even at the cost of our lives."

Sayanomiya Kaoru took a deep breath and said seriously.

"Then it's up to you."

Ming Ge smiled happily.

Judging from her attitude, there was clearly no doubt about it.

Ming Ge snapped his fingers, retracting the White Horse avatar in the sky.

Maintaining the presence of the White Horse in the realm is actually quite troublesome.

"Hmm... they've already arrived?"

Ming Ge suddenly looked into the distance, a slight smile playing on her lips, and said, "That's right, it's been three days already, it's normal for that white-haired loli to have woken up."

Hearing Ming Ge's mutterings to herself, the girls behind her exchanged glances.

"Your Majesty, my name is Kiyoshuin Ena. I am a priestess and I am skilled in spirit summoning techniques."

Kiyoshuin Ena promoted herself, saying, "I can summon the Ame—no -Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi, left behind by my grandfather before his death, and it possesses considerable combat power. If you encounter any enemies, please let Ena help you out."

Chapter 181 Battle Against Athena

Ming Ge arrived at a park, but there was no one around.

After dispersing the people nearby, Ming Ge spotted her target.

It was a white-haired little girl with a cute face and jewel-like purple eyes, staring at Ming Ge expressionlessly.

"The Campione!?"

The little girl tilted her head.

I guess so.

Ming Ge smiled and said, "However, unlike traditional Campione!, we are not cursed by the gods, so we will not arouse any instinctive hostility."

"Although Campione!, they are still enemies."

Athena understood and said, "You have the scent of a snake on you. Can you give it to me?"

You mean this?

Ming Ge took out the Gorgon's Stone, tossed it around, and laughed, "You've already said we're enemies, why should I give it to you?"

"Even if I were to fight two against one, it would be impossible, let alone the fact that my body is not complete."

Athena remained silent, but looked solemnly at Ming Ge and said, "However, if you insist on fighting, I will have no choice but to oblige."

Athena, Metis, Medusa.

Although mythology involves killing oneself, it is actually based on the evolution of human history.

Therefore, it can be said that Medusa was degraded by the 'god' and thus fell into monster form.

Everything in this is a 'script' written by humans, so Athena herself had no choice.

"The outcome of the battle is already obvious; I had no intention of bullying the gods."

Ming Ge smiled and said, "I have a proposal—you become one of my people, then we won't be enemies, and I can give you the snake. How about it?"

Upon hearing this, Athena fell into deep thought.

Although gods and Campione! have their own stances, they are not cursed by the gods and will not be instinctively hostile.

Athena was also different from other disobedient gods; she was able to suppress their madness through the power of her wisdom.
