Chapter 1856
by 林方方Chapter 1856 Facing Nyx
“Lady Nyx! It’s us! I am Artemis!” Artemis exclaimed upon seeing her.
“It’s useless, she’s a puppet manifested by the Gate of Truth, her consciousness is not under her own control,” Athena discovered the issue and said gravely. “In her eyes, we are enemies that must be killed.”
“What should we do? She’s Lady Nyx!” Artemis frowned. “According to legend, Lady Nyx was nearly invincible in her youth. Except for the old god-king Kronos, almost no one in the world could subdue her.
Even before she reached the supreme level, she single-handedly suppressed six major gods including Zeus. Now even if the three of us combined, we might not be enough for her to kill!”
“Is that so?” Athena gripped her spear tightly, with surging fighting spirit bursting from her eyes. “Then I insist on trying!”
As her words fell, Athena’s figure flashed, stepping into that shade of night, rushing rapidly toward Nyx within!
“Wait…”
Her speed was too fast. By the time Lin Qiye reacted, her spear tip had already flashed to Nyx’s front. As divine power swept through her body, terrifying force created explosive booms in the void!
In Nyx’s profound eyes, Athena’s reflection was clearly mirrored. The moment the spear tip touched her skin, she transformed into faint night color, disappearing in midair.
Athena frowned, her foot stomping fiercely on the ground. The earth shattered and cracked, and even the night beneath her feet was torn open at one corner.
But the next moment, the torn ground was gently smoothed back to its original state as if by a jade hand.
Deep night rippled beneath Athena’s feet, countless black petals bloomed along the ripples, like death flowers blooming alone in the darkness. A devouring force frantically consumed her divine power and vitality!
Athena’s expression sank as pale golden divine power enveloped her body. Her spear traced an afterimage through the void, and visible spatial vibrations swept in all directions, forcibly shaking off most of the black petals.
But even so, those black petals did not dissipate. Instead, they surged toward Athena at the center with the fierce wind raised by the dancing spear, with tiny starlight illuminating from the tips of the petals!
Boom boom boom boom——!!
Consecutive explosions bloomed in the night sky, and raging divine power formed a barrier, isolating Lin Qiye and Artemis outside.
Artemis sensed this terrifying divine might, her face extremely grim. The power of Nyx before them was not something they could contend with. Even the war goddess Athena would struggle to withstand such an assault.
Facts proved Artemis’s guess correct. As the dust settled, a blood-covered Athena stood with difficulty in the night, gripping her spear, with hideous burns covering her entire body.
She seemed to realize the horror of this night shade and flashed toward the edge of the darkness, but no matter how she moved, the darkness extended in the corresponding direction. She was like Sun Wukong trapped in Buddha’s palm, unable to escape this darkness.
Just then, star trails lit up in the night sky above, and a world-destroying aura instantly enveloped Athena’s heart!
[Star-Splitting Technique]!
Sensing the danger, Athena gritted her teeth and pushed her divine power to the extreme. The next moment, brilliant starlight fell from the night sky like swords!
“Damn it…” Athena’s face paled slightly. She had thought that since Nyx had not yet formally entered the supreme realm, she should have a fighting chance. But she had underestimated this creation goddess’s talent and combat power.
She never imagined that the usually gentle and serene Lady Nyx was so sharp and lethal in her youth, with every move being a killing blow!
Her left hand grasped at the void, and a shield appeared before her, forcibly blocking the falling star sword!
Thud——!!
The starlight struck the shield surface, tearing a hideous gap in it. The terrifying shock force sent Athena flying hundreds of meters away. Before she could steady herself, another star sword suddenly fell!
This time, she had nothing to block with!
Just as she prepared to grit her teeth and take the hit with her body, a figure stepped out of the void beside her. Golden sword light slashed toward the sky, colliding with that star sword!
Divine power exploded with a rumble, and the dazzling light made it impossible to open one’s eyes. In the hazy light, a palm supported Athena’s back, absorbing all her momentum and stabilizing her in midair.
“It’s you…” Athena looked at Lin Qiye, surprise appearing in her eyes.
Lin Qiye focused intently on the young Nyx walking in the darkness and said solemnly, “Leave her to me. You go deal with those tentacles and rescue the real Nyx.”
“You alone against her?” Athena immediately shook her head. “She’s too strong, you can’t win.”
“Don’t worry about that, go quickly!”
Lin Qiye’s palm on Athena’s back suddenly exerted force, pushing her toward where the star tentacles were. As Lin Qiye took a step forward, [Final King’s Law] forcibly tore open a corner of the night, allowing Athena to escape.
Athena landed on the ground, shield in one hand and spear in the other, in a sorry state. Beside her, Artemis had already grasped her bow and was rushing toward the star tentacles!
Athena looked back at Lin Qiye in midair, hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and followed behind Artemis!
Under the night sky.
Feeling the approaching aura of the law of darkness, Lin Qiye’s gaze was complex.
He had never imagined that one day he would face Nyx under such circumstances… His heart felt both sighs and anticipation.
“Very well.” Lin Qiye gripped the Ame-no-Murakumo sword, took a deep breath, his aura rising steadily. “Let me see just how strong you were in your youth?!”
The same shade of night opened beneath Lin Qiye’s feet. As the double darkness overlapped in the night sky, Lin Qiye’s wings behind him flapped powerfully, his figure instantly tearing through the first layer of darkness, his killing intent aimed directly at Nyx’s face!
“My divine domain?” Seeing the night beneath Lin Qiye’s feet, young Nyx was startled, confusion appearing in her eyes.
But as a faint light flashed, that confusion quickly disappeared as if it had never existed. She stood calmly under the night sky, her star-woven dress fluttering gently in the wind.
“An enemy of Olympus… Perfect timing!” There was not a trace of emotion in her eyes.
She reached out her palm in front of her, and countless star swords fell from the sky, like a forest of twinkling stars, dividing this night into countless fragments.
