Volume 10: Power and Monsters Chapter 040: Medusa's Ascension
Unconsciously, the spreading darkness has covered the night sky. The light of the moon and stars has disappeared, and the surroundings are completely shrouded in chaotic darkness.
But Medusa's vision was not obscured by the darkness, and she could still clearly see every attack of Athena.
She also responded to every attack from Athena with all her strength and seriousness.
"I am the one who summons winter and controls life and death, the ruler of the cold underworld, the queen of plunder. I command. The magic book from another world, become a dead goddess and turn into a corpse!"
After Athena saw that her skills could not overwhelm Medusa, she began to use Word Spirits.
The words entered Medusa's ears and began to erode her body, and her body gradually became cold.
But in the next second, Medusa used her magical power to strengthen her body functions, and removed the power of the spirit words from her body bit by bit.
Faced with Athena's words, Medusa also began to fight back.
Everything is flowing!
This is a mechanical magic from the world of mechanical girls, but in fact the so-called mechanical magic is nothing more than simplifying the process of performing magic through the medium of puppets, thus getting rid of those long and boring spells.
But to Medusa, those long and boring spells were nothing.
At this moment, she used the magical power she had just acquired and successfully performed the magic.
In an instant, time stopped.
Medusa could easily see that the flying sand in the air appeared to be motionless, and Athena was waving her scythe motionless.
The flowing air also becomes still.
Everything stopped.
In this motionless world, the only one who can walk is Medusa.
But in fact, Medusa knew very well that the world did not actually stop.
The effect of the magic of All Things Flowing is not to stop time, but to speed up the time of the user.
After Medusa activated this magic, her time accelerated, so the time in the outside world appeared to be still, but in fact everything in the outside world was running at the original speed.
It's just that Medusa's time runs too fast, so in her eyes, everything seems to be suspended by magic.
Even Athena couldn't catch up with the high-speed Medusa.
The Athena of this world is the goddess of the earth, the god of darkness who rules the underworld, and the goddess of wisdom who controls the wisdom of the sky.
But she is not the goddess of time.
She couldn't interfere with time.
Therefore, when Medusa entered a state of accelerated time, the outside world appeared to her to be at a standstill, and Athena could not enter this realm, so her defeat was already certain.
Medusa easily dodged Athena's attack and pierced Athena's chest with her dagger.
But she did not kill Athena, because she wanted to devour Athena's divine foundation. If she killed Athena, it would only make Athena return to mythology.
By then, all her efforts would be in vain. Medusa was not a fool, and of course she would not do such a stupid thing.
She stabbed Athena in the chest with her dagger. After confirming that the blow could only seriously injure but not kill her, Medusa drew out the dagger and stepped back.
The next second, she lifted the spell.
Athena's high spirits suddenly declined.
"You lose." Medusa waved her hand, shook off the blood on the dagger, and drops of divine blood fell into the desert.
The corner of Shirou's eye twitched as he looked at them. These were all good things.
The person in front of you is Athena. Although she is the god of disobedience, she is still a god. In a sense, she can be said to be the incarnation of a god.
Her blood can naturally be said to be the blood of God. If it is made into potion, it will definitely have various magical effects, one of which is to open up human wisdom.
Even a fool can become a figure like Einstein by drinking the potion made from Athena's blood.
After all, this one is the goddess of wisdom.
Seeing that Medusa did not cherish Athena's blood, Emiya suddenly felt that she was filled with the aura of a spendthrift woman.
But she was the one who defeated Athena, so Emiya had no right to say anything.
On the other hand, Athena looked at the blood flowing from her chest, felt the power hovering in her chest and preventing her wounds from healing, and nodded slightly.
"I lost."
She readily admitted her defeat, because her wisdom had already told her how she lost. The magic that could speed up the user's time was truly amazing.
That was because she had no way of entering the realm, and in that situation, she was completely defenseless.
If the other party had the intention to kill me, that one strike would have killed me.
Medusa held out her hand and said, "Hand over what I want."
Athena frowned. She had just signed a contract with the other party, and the contract was urging her to fulfill the agreement, otherwise there would be very bad consequences.
Athena was helpless, and finally said: "I will fulfill this promise. From now on, it is yours."
After saying that, she backhandedly inserted it into her body and pulled out a golden ball of light from her body. The ball of light emitted a blinding light, making it almost impossible for Emiya to open his eyes.
Although Emiya couldn't see clearly what the ball of light was, he could feel the divinity from it.
He couldn't help but gasp and exclaimed in his heart, could that thing be Athena's divinity?
Medusa took the golden ball of light and stuffed it into her body.
She began to merge the golden ball of light.
After losing the golden ball of light, Athena could no longer maintain her appearance of being seventeen or eighteen years old. Her height began to shrink, and she soon turned back into a little girl.
Moreover, Emiya discovered that Athena in this posture was even worse than the first time he saw her.
The other party seemed to have fallen from a high and mighty god to an ordinary person.
After Medusa obtained this item, something seemed to have unblocked her body. She floated in the air, releasing a sacred aura.
Now she gives Emiya the feeling that she is another Athena.
This made Shirou more certain of his previous guess.
The golden ball of light handed over by Athena is most likely a divine being.
But soon, this sacred aura gradually disappeared, and Medusa regained her self, and when Medusa looked at Emiya, Emiya was not petrified.
This shows that Medusa has most likely eliminated the curse of Athena in the Type-Moon world and gained the ability to independently control the petrifying magic eye. In the future, she will no longer need to wear glasses or use the magic eye to kill.
She can move freely like ordinary people.
"Did you succeed?" Emiya came to Medusa and asked softly. Although he thought Medusa had succeeded, he still asked this question to be on the safe side.
Medusa nodded, a slight smile on her face, "I succeeded, thanks to the help of Athena in this world."
She turned her head and wanted to look for Athena, but found that Athena had disappeared.
"She left just now," Emiya said.
Medusa stopped paying attention to Athena and stared at Emiya. Suddenly, she hugged Emiya and gave him a passionate kiss. "If you hadn't brought me into this world, I wouldn't have succeeded."
Emiya smiled slightly and said unsatisfiedly: "Push harder."
Medusa smiled happily, and wrapped around Emiya like a snake, refusing to let go.
What happened next was a natural progression. After Medea, Medusa also became Emiya's woman, and the two sides made further breakthroughs.
The two of them lay on the ground in the vast desert, hugging each other until death.
The battle ended only when both men had no more strength left.
Then, the two returned to Lushan.
The first time Loki saw Medusa, he understood her condition and couldn't help showing a wretched uncle's expression to Emiya, "Congratulations, Emiya boy."
Emiya put his arm around Medusa's waist and smiled smugly.
Ai Si complained on the side: "Loki, so disgusting."
The Loki was immediately sunk.
Next, everyone dealt with some minor matters in the God Slayer World and then left the God Slayer World, because the purpose of their trip had basically been achieved.
Loki and Hestia both received the reincarnation ritual.
Ais becomes stronger.
Luo Cuilian joined their organization.
Cu Chulainn fought a great battle with several enemies, but unfortunately, he never found the Cu Chulainn of this world, for some unknown reason.
And Hercules was just here to join in the fun.
Medusa also found Athena, obtained her divinity, and eliminated her curse.
All things Maid Dragon revolve around Emiya, and as for Emiya, not only has he gone one step further than Medusa, he has also gained the power of Hades, merging his own powers into one that has become magical power.
In this world, everyone has gained something, and it is time to leave.
Emiya first sent Loki and his companions back to Orario, then sent Cu Chulainn and others back to Type-Moon, and finally he entered the new world alone with the dragon maid.
