Five Hundred and Sixtieth IX The Karma Between You and Me

(Thank you very much for the 10,000 reward from ‘Sister Meiqin’! And the rewards from ‘Broken Yu. Annihilation’, ‘Haha, etc.’, and ‘Life Banker’!)

"laugh----!"

In the flicker of lightning, Noah, transformed into lightning, returned directly to the second-hand bookstore, and through the window of the second-hand bookstore, he got into his room, canceled the thunder, and slowly restored his body to a human form.

"Have you returned victorious?"

And almost at the same time that Noah regained his human form, a voice with icy chill and haughty confidence sounded from a corner of Noah's room.

"It seems that the means left by my concubine did help you a lot."

Noah paused, turned his head, and cast his gaze to the corner of the room.

There, the petite silver-haired girl who didn't know when she was wearing an ancient Greek-style robe turned her back to Noah, but turned her head sideways, and met Noah's gaze with a pair of dark eyes.

Facing Athena's gaze, Noah nodded slowly, hesitated for a moment, and spoke softly.

"Are your injuries healed?"

"The power of steel left in my concubine's body has disappeared along with its master." Athena replied without turning her head.

"Therefore, there is no need for the concubine to continue to sleep. Some injuries, as the immortal goddess of the earth, are not difficult to recover."

Although she said that it was not difficult to recover, Athena also did not say that she had recovered.

Considering the self-esteem of this goddess, Noah is not surprised at all.

This is a person who can fight back against opponents even in adversity, allowing his strength to hide in the body of steel like a natural enemy without being discovered. The goddess who eventually became the cause of the opponent's real death.

Presumably, even if the injury on his body has not fully recovered. Athena will also hold on, and not show her weak side in front of Noah, her karmic enemy, right?

certainly. With the power of Athena, Noah did not doubt that the other party's injuries would recover quickly.

Therefore, Noah just nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

At this time, Athena turned around and looked at Noah. After looking at Noah for a while, her snake-like eyes fluctuated.

"After killing the hero of steel, you should have obtained the opponent's strength. But I didn't feel the breath of steel on your body."

"As expected of Goddess of Wisdom, can you even see this?" Noah was startled, then smiled wryly.

"Some accidents happened, but it's not bad for me, my strength is enough."

Originally, the power of Noah's ten incarnations was quite foul. Although it was only one power in essence, it could be used as ten separate powers, and each incarnation would not lose to the power of other godslayers.

In this situation. Noah, who has the power of ten incarnations, already has a lot of abilities, even if he has one or two more powers, there will be no obvious improvement in strength.

All Noah needs to do is to develop his ten incarnations.

Just like the giant's appearance, the dragon's air scales and the full recovery of the elves. At present, the power of Noah's ten incarnations has been fully explored and mastered.

Now that the excavation is complete, the next step is continuous development.

so. Instead of finding out that he is a useless half-bad after gaining the power, Noah might as well concentrate on the power that is currently under control.

This. That's king.

Noah, who had already confirmed the next road in his heart, raised his head and said this to Athena.

"Are you leaving?"

In a word. The atmosphere of the scene suddenly became deep.

"The cooperation between the concubine and you only lasted until Gang's demise. Is there any reason to continue to stay with the enemy of fate?"

In the face of Noah's inquiry, Athena just showed her unyielding eyes.

"Or are you planning to start a duel with the concubine at this time? The concubine doesn't mind!"

"It's better to avoid it." Noah replied without hesitation.

"I don't have the idea of ​​attacking others when they are hurt."

"Oh?" Athena was taken aback for a moment.

"As far as I know, Perseus is also injured."

"That injury was also caused by me, right?" Noah spread his hands.

"Isn't it taking advantage of others' danger?"

"You caused it?" Athena frowned.

"If my concubine remembers correctly, the wound on that steel should have been caused by my concubine, and most of the wound you left behind should have been healed with the efforts of that man's maid."

"Since you caused it, is there any difference?" Noah responded lightly.

"We are allies."

Athena was silent, and smiled knowingly after a while.

"There should also be a limit to strong words."

"That's the kind of person I am." Noah let his eyes meet Athena's.

"What? Did it disappoint you?"

"Sa, who knows?" Athena seemed to avoid Noah's eyes on purpose, and her voice became emotionless again.

"Sooner or later, the fate between you and the concubine will come to an end. At that time, the concubine may answer you, maybe."

What Athena was referring to was naturally a showdown with Noah.

Noah, who understood what Athena meant, closed his eyes for a moment, then slowly opened them.

"About this, actually, I have two things I want to tell you."

Athena didn't seem to expect that Noah would say such words in a sudden turn, and was stunned for a while.

Then, Noah took out the Gorgon Stone.

"First of all, the first thing, you said you want to fight with me, but the magic tool that can restore you to your true posture is in my hands, what are you going to do?"

"Is there any need to ask about this kind of thing?" Athena frowned slightly.

"Since the concubine's snake is in the hands of you, the enemy of fate, then relying on the wisdom of the goddess to take it back is also one of the confrontations with you, the enemy of fate, isn't it?"

The implication is that Athena will not fight Noah until the Gorgon Stone is taken back.

It seems that it is not what Athena wants to do to face Noah, the enemy of fate, in a state that has not recovered her full strength.

"Is that so?" Noah was not pretentious, and suddenly smiled.

"Then, the second thing is the battle with you. If I win, what kind of spoils will Athena, the goddess of the gods, give me?"

"It's a bit strange for you to say that." Athena replied calmly.

"Winning the battle with the God of Disobedience, and usurping the power of the opponent from the God of Disobedience, isn't that just the spoils of war for you godslayers?"

"But as I said just now, my strength is enough and I don't need more power." Noah looked directly at Athena who was full of doubts, and finally expressed his true thoughts.

"So, I want to make a promise with you."

"Promise?" Athena's eyes became serious.

Intuition told Athena that this so-called agreement was absolutely extraordinary.

"You know about the relationship between Guinevia and Lancelot, right?" Noah smiled indifferently.

"If I win the duel with you in the future, then I hope that you can become my patron saint like Lancelot did to Guinevia!"

Hearing this sentence, Athena was completely stunned.

"Of course, what I'm asking for is not the kind of protection that only appears on the ground for a very short time like Lancelot, but you, Athena herself, completely become my patron saint!" Noah's eyes A bright look bloomed.

"I believe that since Guinevia, who was once the goddess of the earth, can turn Lancelot into the patron saint of the god Zu Gunivia with the great guardian spell, then you, Athena, can do it there. The above things are not impossible, right?"

Hearing Noah's brazen speech, Athena smiled, and the smile was unusually cold.

"Do you want this concubine to be your servant?"

"I just think, instead of killing someone I know well, why don't I make good use of this relationship between us?" Noah put on a bohemian smile on his face.

"You once said that there is an indissoluble bond between me and you. Then, becoming my patron saint, perhaps, is also a possibility of our bond?"

Athena smiled again.

But, this time, Athena smiled very happily.

"Since you made such a request, then you should have made the corresponding awareness, right?"

"Athena is also the Goddess of War." Noah shrugged and made such a declaration.

"Athena in the past had many outstanding fighters. If you can convince me, I don't mind being one of them." (To be continued...)
