Marquis Voban

Despite how terrifying it was, Ming Ge easily neutralized it in the next moment.

"Dream."

Transform the abstract into the concrete, and the concrete into the abstract.

When forces of equal magnitude clash, they ultimately annihilate each other.

Seeing this, Athena reluctantly lowered her weapon.

"I have lost."

She shook her head, dispelling the darkness.

At the same time, Ming Ge also defused the storm.

"Welcome, Athena."

Ming Ge extended her hand.

"My comrade..."

Athena sighed and took Ming Ge's hand.

The two smiled at each other and then let go.

The stars were removed and reappeared in the park.

"Is there anything you wish to do, Athena?"

Ming Ge asked.

"My awakening goal was the essence of the snake, and I have now rediscovered it."

Athena said, "You are my companion; if you need anything, I can help you."

"There is indeed something to do, but it's nothing difficult."

Ming Ge pondered for a moment, then shook her head.

In other worlds, conquering a world might lead to war.

However, in this world, this can be easily achieved by eliminating the other Campione!.

He recruited magicians from all over the world to help him construct the spell, and once completed, he was able to devour the mythology in one fell swoop.

The two chatted for a while before returning to Jinghua's home.

After spending some more time resolving matters in Japan, I finally boarded a plane bound for the Balkan Peninsula in Eastern Europe.

"Human development is truly incredible."

Sitting on the plane, Athena, with her all-knowing wisdom, quickly figured out how the plane worked.

She marveled at the power of technology, but ultimately shook her head.

"It is only natural that human power is inferior to authority."

Ming Ge smiled and said, "Because power is the very essence of the world, both magic and technology pale in comparison, but that doesn't mean they are useless."

"Both paths lead to the same destination; it's only a matter of time before they involve the realm of power."

Why are you so sure?

Athena asked curiously.

"Because my magical abilities have already approached that level."

Ming Ge said, "Taking myself as an example, I will be able to form my first power in another six months—of course, this can only be achieved by using the power of a god as a prototype."

"What can be observed can be analyzed; what can be analyzed can be controlled—that is humanity."

"To be comparable to a god in human form... no, to surpass a god."

Athena smiled and said, "It seems my companion is also a wise person."

"It matches the goddess of wisdom perfectly, doesn't it?"

Watching Ming Ge and Athena chatting so enthusiastically, Kusanagi Shizuka couldn't help but pout, then lay down on Ming Ge's lap.

"I'm tired, I'm going to take a nap."

After saying that, she closed her eyes.

"She's still a little girl."

Athena looked at Kusanagi Shizuka and couldn't help but shake her head with a smile.

If she were an enemy, Athena would naturally treat her as a warrior.

However, from today's perspective, Kusanagi Shizuka's innocent behavior evoked in her a sense of protectiveness towards human children.

They're quite cute.

Chapter 183 Marquis Voban

Eastern Europe, the Balkan Peninsula, this is the territory of the Marquis of Voban.

Marquis Voban is the oldest of all the surviving Campione!. Although he is called a 'Marquis', he was not born into a wealthy family.

Born in the early 18th century, he became an orphan without parents and was so poor that he could hardly afford a loaf of bread every day, often wandering from place to place to live.

The surname Voban came from the name of the fierce dog owned by the marquis of a territory he had raided, hence he decided to use Voban as his surname.

Although he appears to be an old, wise, and knowledgeable gentleman, he is actually full of wildness, possesses superhuman strength and wolf-like agility, and craves battle.

If we were to say that the two oldest Campione!, Luo Hao represented skill, then Voban represented savagery and instinct.

In terms of skill, the two are actually quite evenly matched.

Ming Ge's target this time was this unruly old man. Compared to other Campione!, there was still a possibility of subduing him, but as the embodiment of willfulness, there was absolutely no possibility of subduing this old man.

After all, other Campione! can be satisfied as long as the conditions are met; but Voban is a wolf, which cannot be satisfied with food alone, let alone be tamed.

While the inner nature of Campione! cannot be subdued, Ming Ge does not need to submit either; a certain degree of obedience to order suffices.

Only Marquis Voban, an embodiment of wildness, is an existence almost entirely contrary to order, Ming Ge has no intention of keeping him around.
