Chapter 626 - 117: The Return of Metis
Demeter's extraordinarily beautiful face was filled with shock and anger at Chronos, that guy.
Initially, Typhon caused great damage to Mount Olympus, but who would have thought even Typhon has now aligned with the Roman faction?
"Die, all of you!"
Even the most gentle Demeter could not refrain from acting at this moment.
In the next instant, tens of thousands of beams of light green divine skills traversed the skies.
Where they passed, whether beast or divine monster, once hit, their life force was directly deprived.
Like the withering plants.
She could enrich the land, cause plants to flourish, grains to abound, or make the earth wither, all things decay, and not a blade of grass grow.
"Continue!"
Seeing this, Typhon merely roared endlessly; death could not stop the beasts' instinct to hunt.
They were dominated by Typhon's divinity, reduced to puppets of feeding and slaughter.
Hundreds of octopus-like beasts stretched out their purple and red tentacles, grabbing their surroundings, using them as projectiles hurled towards the coastal wall, attempting to bypass Demeter, spreading chaos into the coastal wall's interior.
Fortunately, at this moment, the coastal wall's defense barrier was fully activated, vibrant beams of light pierced the clouds as mages and priests chanted, illuminating the sky dense with clouds.
Vast stars like lit lamps hung down, casting brilliant bands of light, engulfing the coastal wall and the rear Peloponnese Peninsula in light.
Golden blue star patterns rhythmically flickered in the flowing light, resembling crystalline amber, mysterious and beautifully.
Of course, what was more awe-inspiring was its solidity.
One by one, beasts thrown against it turned into pools of flesh, the divinity and magic power in their blood absorbed by the starlight as nourishment.
Moreover, the more beasts came to annihilate, the brighter and more splendid the amber fortress created by the starlight became.
Buzz~
Under the profound resonance of divinity, massive magic power frantically converged towards the stormy, cloud-covered sea.
The magic power factors in the air like water forcibly pumped, flowing through divine pattern-linked paths, surging into the vortex-like typhoon's eye.
Within the storm and clouds, Typhon raised a hundred heads, emitting a unified howl.
"Tides! I have returned!"
"Storm, heed my command!!"
The biting gale and overwhelming tsunami in its hands transformed into a gigantic storm hammer, carrying terrifying disaster divinity, sweeping toward the coastal wall.
Where its divine power passed, space split, life annihilated, vast sea water vaporized along, salty taste permeating everywhere.
At this time.
A colossal giant emerged from within, Ares.
Tightly griping the War God Spear.
"Die, all of you!"
Limitless war god divinity erupted instantly; the war spear in his hand like an indestructible drill stirred numerous sea beasts into blood mist.
This blood mist made Ares wild, divinity was being crazily stimulated, his divine authority and rank constantly elevated in war.
"Awesome!"
Ares roared wildly, long since experiencing such great war, he is the God of War!
Only war could excite him, make him strong.
All of you!
I love war.
Ares solemnly shouted.
"Aunt!"
Demeter instantly understood, boundless green energy erupted again, her divine authority in the mortal world brimmed with faith even without temple offerings.
She is the Goddess of Agriculture; as long as mortals eat grains, her power is near endless.
Green energy continuously swept away numerous beasts and divine monsters in front of Ares, turning them all to ash.
Almost simultaneously, the airborne Ares instantly rushed towards Typhon, without any hindrance, Ares quickly approached Typhon.
The war god's spear in hand reached a near overwhelmingly surging degree, this vast war elevated Ares's divinity to a terrifying moment.
But then.
With a 'bang'.
Dazzling golden light patterns crazily spread outward, Ares' spear was intercepted by a shield.
"Athena!"
This shield was naturally the Aegis Shield; in front of this strongest defensive divine artifact in Greece, even present Ares could not easily pierce through.
The divine shield's light patterns shook and trembled after enduring Ares' spear.
At this time.
Typhon's storm hammer was almost about to fall, the magic array covering the coast frantically shattering.
And then.
A swaying flame rose from the city, a guardian force connected countless soldiers, even heroes.
A divine maiden emerged from the city, looked towards Athena in front of Typhon, Hestia felt heartache, "Athena, you are inherently most kind, why would you help Typhon, to harm humans you once protected!"
Hestia.
Guardian of the family, Kitchen Fire Goddess.
She and Athena both being virgin gods had an excellent relationship, yet they never expected Athena to betray the gods, join that so-called Rome!
"Aunt... or rather Hestia, look at who I am!"
The heroic girl behind the shield started transforming, her figure became taller, marble-like skin, light purple long hair reaching below the waist, eyes cold golden.
"Metis? Where is Athena?" Hestia couldn't help but ask, naturally recognizing Metis, but Metis wasn't she long since...
"There has never been an Athena, only me, Metis!" The transformed Metis coldly said.
"Back then, Zeus sensed I was pregnant, worried the entity in my womb would threaten his rule, swallowed me whole!"
"Had I not anticipated it, transformed and birthed as my daughter, I would have long been killed by Zeus!"
"He shamelessly occupied half my wisdom divine authority and rank, without me, could he maintain his rule for so long?"
Metis' voice was full of anger; women are emotional, and an angry woman even more so, back then she even risked her life to help Zeus rebel against God King Cronus.
But how did Zeus repay her?
Indeed, made her Celestial Empress for a time, but upon discovering her pregnancy, swallowed her without a word, even stripped her of her rank and divine authority.
During that time, Metis fully understood Zeus' nature; seemingly affectionate, but really heartless, everyone could be a tool for him to maintain his rule.
Hestia listened to Metis' rebuke, knowing Zeus' actions were unjust, and could only say: "He did it for the gods, only by maintaining divine kinghood could Cronus' resurgence be avoided."
"Now Cronus swore never to be divine king again, I will be the next divine king!"
