The Gods looked ahead when a black-haired woman appeared in front of them. She was barefooted, her face indiscernible.
It seemed as if the sun had lost its shine when she showed up.
This woman was acting cold and proud like she always did. As though she wasnât the one who blasted the lightning shield.
Everyone else looked at her with an unreadable gaze.
No matter how much they dislike her personality and habits, they couldnât deny her abilities!
She has the rights to be proud!
Athena didnât show up on a whim.
Her eyes remained indifferent when she looked at the disastrous island. There wasnât even a hint of shock when she saw the Giants.
With a light wave of her hand, Aegis returned to her in a silver fluid-like motion.
The shield was almost as tall as her with a tough structure and ancient design. It was hard to tell the material it was made of and it looked similar to an ancient heavy shield used in the Crusades.
Aegis was silver with patterns of olive leaves and it was glowing with a silver-blue hue. It was completely incompatible with Athena but it was somehow weirdly harmonious.
Athena looked at Chaos with an apathetic gaze and their gaze met.
It stared back at her with a look of resignation but it eventually returned to the cauldron as soon as it realised it was no match for Athena.
Yang Chen, who was already unconscious, fell off the sky after letting go of Cai Ning!
Cai Ning reacted quickly and held onto him.
They landed on the floor slowly.
She couldnât even care about herself when she noticed Yang Chen had fainted.
âHubby, wake up! How are you feeling?!â Rose flew over to their side but no matter how hard she shook him, she couldnât get any reaction from him.\nThey even tried checking his body with their divine sense but to no avail.
Yang Chenâs internal energy was completely normal, in fact, it was even stronger than before. However, for some unknown reason, he wouldnât wake up nor did his divine sense show any reaction.
The ladies were at a loss but fortunately, they werenât so weak to be completely helpless. Seeing how Yang Chenâs breathing was normal, they quickly calmed down and averted their gaze towards the Giants.
The Giants were trying their best to stand up but because of the Chaos Beastâs attack, they were too weak to do so. Even if some of them managed to get up, they were panting and wobbling. Some of them were even missing limbs.
Still being wary of the Giants, Cai Ning lifted Yang Chen and flew up to the sky with Rose.
âHow is Hades doing?â Christine asked.
Rose shook her head, âI donât know, heâs not waking up but heâs not hurt either.â
Athena glanced over at Yang Chen for a second before looking back at the Giants. Her seemingly cold gaze was flickering.
âDamn itâŚAthena, I knew you were doing this on purpose! You knew this would happen so why did you come over now?! Are you here to mock us? Or are you wishing for us to die?!â
Hermes tossed Prince to Christine before shouting at Athena.
âYou guys are still alive,â Athena said flatly.
âWhat do you mean by that?! Do you rather have us killed by them? Donât forget that you wonât be able to revive Gaiaâs Heart without us!!â Hermes was trembling with fury.
Athenaâs gaze sharpened, âDonât challenge my patience, Iâve already let you go for plotting against me with that wretch. Iâve been very nice to you, I know she has awakened ages ago.â\nThe Gods were astonished. They could guess what she was saying but it felt odd to them.
Hermes smirked, âI thought your prophecy is invincible? Why? Canât you find her?â
Athena grunted, âSheâll appear sooner or later.â
âHehe, I thinkâŚitâs because your spiritual energy has yet to recover so you canât find someone stronger than you. This means that you might not be a match for her.â Hermes sounded cocky.
âSheâs timid and useless, Iâve no interest in looking for her. She wouldnât have to hide and pull tricks on me if sheâs truly confident in defeating me.â
Apollo furrowed his brows, âWhat are you guys talking about? Why donât we understand?â
âItâs nothing, you guys donât need to understand.â Athena glanced at them before waving her hands. With that, the floating Aegis disappeared with a silver flash.
Poseidon stepped up and asked, âThe cauldron summoned by Hades and the beast, what are they? Why havenât we seen them before?â
âIt doesnât matter what their identity is but Iâm sure it must be difficult to deal with since Athena had to use an artifact to stop it.â Ares said.
Athena didnât answer him. Instead, she descended from the sky while facing the six Giants.
âAthenaâŚyou wicked woman, how dare you take advantage of us? If you truly have the guts, fight us when we have recovered!!â Briareus roared.
âYou guys are half dead, how would you recover?â Athena said in disdain.
âWe have not lost!! Come at us!!â
Brontes was furious. He tried to pick up the giant hammer but the huge loss of Titanâs Blood from his body made it impossible for him to do so!
The Giants were devastated. They couldnât believe that they were defeated by the new Pluto, someone they had looked down on the most.\nAthen sneered and she extended her arm to reveal a brown ball of light on her palm.
Everyone else was startled. Fear appeared on the Giants when they remembered something!
âNoâŚno, it canât beâŚwhy do you have the Gaiaâs Heart?!â Brontes gasped and he moved backward instinctively.
The Gods looked at Athena with a complex gaze.
Athena manoeuvred the Gaiaâs Heart towards the Giants and as if it had smelled a tempting scent, the Gaiaâs Heart moved even quicker.
Gyges shrieks in pain the moment Gaiaâs Heart touched him!
No matter how painstakingly his screams sounded, his fate was decided!
Brown mist surrounded Gaiaâs Heart which soon covered Gygesâ body!
Within the next second, light-spots were formed on Gygesâ body with a mixture of red lines. It looks as if a firework had been absorbed by Gaiaâs Heart!
The Giant was engulfed by a split second!
But Gaiaâs Heart wasnât done just yet. After engulfing one of the Giants, it charged towards the rest of the Giants!
The remaining Giants shrieked but they couldnât escape from the mist!
Soon, they all turned into light-spots and red lights before being absorbed into Gaiaâs Heart!
Once the Giants disappeared, the colosseum looked as though they had never appeared at all.
The giant hammers too disintegrated along with the Giants as if they were making a tribute to their masters.
The Gods turned pale at her action whereas Christine and Alice wore a mournful look.
Poseidon let out a long breath and he asked with a hoarse voice, âAthena, youâve been waiting for this moment to come so that you could use their Titanâs Blood to recover the vitality of Gaiaâs Heart.â
Athena took back Gaiaâs Heart and turned around to face them. She asked with an apathetic attitude, âWhy canât I do this? Unless you want me to use one of you to activate Gaiaâs Heart?â\n\n<!-- AI CONTENT END 2 -->
