His idea was to use the Gorgon Stone as bait to lure several groups into a chaotic battle.
As for choosing the Adriatic Sea as the location, it was simply because the chaotic battle wouldn't involve ordinary civilians.
Although Kaido didn't feel excessive compassion, he wasn't crazy; he was the "King", according to Erica. Since Italy had become nominally his territory, it was only natural that he wouldn't be so insensitive as to set up the battlefield in his own home.
He wasn't a fool like Doni who only knew how to fight.
"Oh..."
Erica and Liliana were left speechless by this.
At first, they thought Kaido was hiding some great plan, and they even got a little excited.
Don't misunderstand, Godslayers and disobedient gods are at the top of this world. The schemes and tricks of mortals are completely useless against absolute power. Whatever the plan, it will eventually become a chaotic battle.
Kaido shook his head.
"But Your Majesty isn't a mortal."
Erica replied unconsciously.
They were mortals, but Kaido wasn't. After annihilating three gods in a very short time, he had already become a legend in the entire dark world.
Among the seven remaining Godslayers in the world, Kaido is undoubtedly the most dazzling new star!
Where I come from, your behavior is called 'being a nonconformist', so Erica, you should be careful in the future.
Kaido patted Erica's cheerful buttocks as punishment.
"I... I understand."
Erica covered her buttocks, her face reddened with a mix of anger and shame.
In fact, talking too much wasn't a good habit.
Precisely because I'm mortal, I'm still here talking to you. Although a Godslayer's power is strong, there are countless beings stronger than disobedient gods and us.
Kaido had never become arrogant after becoming a Godslayer.
After all, he was just an ordinary person in the past and couldn't transform into a "lonely arrogant wolf in the cold wind" overnight.
Stronger than gods and Godslayers? How... how is that possible?
The two elegant and noble female knights, one with golden hair and the other with red hair, showed expressions of surprise.
If anyone else had said this, Erica and Liliana would have ridiculed them completely.
But coming from Kaido's mouth, it was different.
The world is vast and full of wonders. Well, you'll discover it later.
Only the Godslayer world has another parallel world, and from Hakoniwa, the magical prohibition or Demonbane, you could choose either one and easily immobilize all the disobedient gods combined on the ground and rub them out.
Kaido kept them in suspense, not saying it explicitly.
"..."
Erica and Liliana's curiosity was just awakened, only to be mercilessly extinguished by Kaido.
This made the two girls grit their teeth in frustration, but they didn't dare to do anything to him.
"Very well, now we just have to wait for Athena, Voban, and the Sword King Doni to gather for a chaotic battle."
Kaido stretched and smiled.
Athena was looking at the Gorgon Stone, Voban was looking at Athena, and Doni was looking at the two of them.
To obtain the "snake", Athena had to meet Voban. Voban didn't seem like the type to sit down and chat with a disobedient god, and Doni was an idiot and held a grudge.
Kaido wanted to use this to test the strength of the three groups and then eliminate any obstacles in his way.
Late at night.
The darkness, stars, and moon adorned the sky. Because the Adriatic Sea has a Mediterranean climate, the air was somewhat sweltering, and a slight drizzle fell.
A small girl floated on the surface of the sea, her small feet in leather shoes seemed to be walking on the water.
This moment of the day was Athena's favorite. As the goddess who governs the night, she could unleash her greatest power at this time. And most importantly, the nostalgic aroma of the Gorgon Stone was becoming increasingly intense.
Poseidon, who governs the sea, is the enemy of my 'nake'. That the descendant of Hermes threw it into the sea was, without a doubt, the correct decision.
Medusa, the youngest of the three Gorgon sisters, was originally a beautiful maiden who, in Greek mythology, was raped by Poseidon, the sea god, in Athena's temple, and Athena then turned Medusa's hair into venomous snakes.
Although the disobedient gods deviate from mythology, the fact that Gorgon is part of Athena's power is genuine.
If it were in the past, Athena might not have been able to detect the location of the Gorgon Stone.
But over the years, her power had become stronger, and her connection to Gorgon had become closer.
She was a trinitarian goddess composed of "Athena", "Medusa", and "Metis". Her prototype originated from the North African goddess "Athena", and she was also the goddess who governed the earth, with many other names and forms.
Metis, Medusa, Neith, and Anat are avatars born from the true Athena, and they can also be called Athena's sisters.
Let the world darken, let the night return to the night of the Age of Gods.
When this thought arose in Athena's mind, the little goddess happily sang a Spirit Word.
By the true name of Athena, let the dark night appear here, dispel the sun's grace, and extinguish the fire of Prometheus. Oh, myriads of stars and dark wind, recreate the ancient night here.
What I seek is the Gorgon Stone! Athena will recover the ancestral snake tonight!
The darkness spread to the depths of the sea, transforming into fog, searching for the exact location of the Gorgon Stone.
"My snake is getting closer and closer to me."
The anticipation of the search gradually turned into excitement, causing a blush, different from that of a god, to appear on the goddess's beautiful face.
However, at that moment, an intellectual and somewhat twisted and mad voice came from afar.
Unbeknownst to her, the previously calm sea surface gradually provoked strong winds, and dark clouds accumulated in the sky, plunging the already dark night into an even deeper darkness. Only the occasional silver flashes over the clouds added a pale color to this otherwise black sky.
A fierce storm broke out.
The sea water was stirred up by the strong winds, transforming into gigantic waves.
The dark and quiet night was instantly transformed into a harsh and stormy night.
Although it's the trick of that young man, I must say it's quite effective. That stone alone has attracted me and the disobedient god. What do you say, ancient goddess? Let me satiate my hunger tonight!
A turbulent and violent magical power emanated from the interior of an old man dressed in a black trench coat. As the strong winds and torrential rain approached, they were instantly destroyed.
With the sky filled with lightning and thunder as the backdrop, one of the most ferocious and powerful beings in the world, the Demon King of Eastern Europe, encountered the goddess in the darkness.
Demon King Wolf of Eastern Europe, I've heard of your exploits. My wisdom of Athena tells me that you're a very dangerous person. If I were to attack you without hesitation, I would suffer a strong counterattack... You're as dangerous as a hunter's trap that lurks in the forest, waiting for animals.
The little goddess wore a fine beige sweater and a pleated miniskirt, with her short silver hair covered by a blue felt hat. Her pupils, like abysses, shone with vigilance.
You're very direct, goddess. As you said, getting to know you has made my blood boil after so long. I don't need any more words; tonight, I just need to enjoy the battle to the fullest.
The pale green light emanating from the old man's eyes made Athena frown.
Over the Adriatic Sea, the little goddess was fighting fiercely against the Demon King of Eastern Europe.
The violent magical power condensed by the Marquise Voban provoked enormous waves. The old man in the trench coat laughed loudly amidst the fierce winds.
Enormous amounts of seawater were expelled by the impact of the magical power. Millions of tons of water were instantly transformed into columns dozens to hundreds of meters high, like fountains in a park, but this was an impressive scene magnified hundreds of times.
As the ancient Earth Mother Goddess, you have some strength. If this battle gives me pleasure, perhaps I won't kill you.
In this dizzying vortex of magical power, Voban raised his eyes, and the pale green light emanating from them made Athena frown.
Demon King Human, although your strength is immense, I am Athena, the goddess of night, wisdom, and war. Since you insist on fighting me, I can only subdue you with my martial power.
Athena extended her beautiful and small hand towards Voban, and a dense black fog spread from behind the girl.
Although she hadn't yet recovered all her power, Athena, as the goddess of darkness, still possessed the greatest power. In addition to being able to summon monsters, as the mistress of the underworld, she could also use the curse of the reaper.
This darkness, in addition to having the ability to obscure vision and make light disappear, also contained an extremely strong aura of death.
If an ordinary person were to come into contact with this darkness, their body would be corroded by the aura of death in a few seconds, resulting in complete death.
Ah, yes? It's a somewhat problematic ability, but that's all.
The darkness spread very quickly, reaching the side of Voban almost instantly and making contact with his flesh.
A burning pain spread through his skin, stimulating Voban's nerves.
However, as a Godslayer, Voban's physical body possessed considerable resistance. The mortal energy capable of killing ordinary people couldn't corrode his body, but it could slow down his speed.
Voban revealed a fierce smile, like that of a wolf.
He swung his arm towards the sky, and a huge amount of magical power condensed instantly. The atmosphere trembled, and the sky, already darkened by dark clouds, was filled with even stronger storms.
"Auge-!"
Pale lightning, deafening thunder, and strong winds that provoked tsunamis burst out with a power capable of destroying the world at the same time.
This was the authority that Voban had usurped from the tripartite wind gods of Korea, possessing the power to invoke storms and control the wind, rain, and lightning. Due to the influence of this authority, when Voban was in a good mood, strong winds and torrential rains would batter him, and he could even manipulate the atmosphere to fly freely through the sky.
In the Austro-Hungarian Empire of the last century, Voban used this authority to destroy the port city of Zadar.
A lightning bolt with destructive power fell from the sky, thousands of lightning bolts struck Athena's body simultaneously.
However, they were blocked by the black fog before they could reach her.
The lightning destroyed part of the fog, which was immediately replenished.
The authority of the furious storm and the darkness were at a stalemate.
I like it more this way! It's even more enjoyable!
Voban sneered.
Immediately after, his human form began to change. His black trench coat was torn by bulging muscles, and a silver fur grew over his pale skin. His body began to swell, transforming into a giant silver wolf over ten meters tall.
"Explosion-!"
Voban, transformed into a giant silver wolf by the authority of the "Legion of Hungry Wolves", possessed a physical body far superior to that of humans and even divine beasts. His pale green eyes in the darkness were like large copper bells, and the pale fangs protruding from his mouth could easily crush the most resistant metals.
The small figure of Athena was blown away hundreds of meters by the impact of the silver wolf before she could barely regain her balance.
Earlier, she had used her curse power on Voban's body, but it had little effect.
As expected, her current power was still too limited.
If she could recover her tripartite power, how could she be at such a disadvantage?
Goddess, don't get destroyed so quickly! I haven't had enough yet!
A human voice roared from the mouth of the silver wolf, and manipulated the atmosphere, launching his enormous body forward.
When fighting, Voban never held back, nor did he know how to hold back.
