The next moment, Allen moved one step forward, disappearing in a flash.

Before the two Mid Gods even managed to react, their chest suddenly felt a strong impact, blowing them away. However, they were also not that weak as the point of collision, the two Mid Gods managed to block almost all of the force from Allen’s attack.

Argus immediately channeled his energy into his sword as the wave of energy emanating from the sword expanded slowly. Seeing that Argus was about to unleash his true power, Arsenios become agitated. He too had also become serious as well.

The sword strike unleashed a concentrated beam of energy. Even the air around Argus seemed dreary when he became serious about his opponent.

Allen immediately felt pressured by the incoming sleuth of attacks, every move was quickly followed by another and with every move, and both attack and defense were at an unstoppable rhythm, which rendered Allen’s counter-attack ineffectual. Even in his Augmented speed and power from the Lightning Devil Fruit can’t almost parry all the attacks causing several attacks successfully hit him.

However, thankfully, he was a lightning human and all the wounds seemed to only pass through nothingness.

Even still, assailed by the articulated and deadly strikes, Allen felt his space for maneuvering was shrinking drastically as if he was being entangled in a web of attacks. Despite the countless battles with other strong and powerful people before, fighting against a Mid God this strong was a first.

After only a dozen rounds of slashes and hacks, Allen started to lose his ground. He couldn’t just accept all the slashes covered by mana as, despite his special body constitution, wounds would be inevitable!

But on the flip side, it also demonstrated the dreadful power of the real Mid God.

Arsenio condensed a certain degree of magic power and slowly condense it into a huge ball of power.

Swoosh…

On the outside, Arsenio’s body suddenly burst forth with a myriad of water elemental energy, the entire ball of power turning into the form of a huge shark with sharply pointed fangs. However, this water creature was more like a valiant great white shark, its aura majestic and its bearing imposing!

The shark form which brimmed with the pure water elemental energy of the world circled around next to Arsenio. Taking a step forward and swinging his fist down, a flying shark immediately lets loose and dove down, a resounding roar and opened its jaws into a gaping maw. Its face was fierce and sinister, seeming as though it wanted to devour everything in its path!

Roaring forth and crashing forward like a tidal wave, its aura was world-shaking to the point that the magic power in the surroundings began to tremble!

At the same time, Arsenios made his move, Argus did the same.

He calmly lifted the sword, engraved with a strange pattern, and suddenly the magic power surged toward the blade of the sword.

The blade gave off a dazzling glow!

“Master!!” Allen heard Asmodeus anxious cry but he ignored it and stared at the two incoming attack.

He looked at them without any fear and just stood there without backing up. Then, he reaches his hand forward, “Kiten!” Roooaaarrr!!

From his hand, a giant wolf made up of plasma suddenly appeared and rushed towards the water formed flying shark.

Then, he raised his right leg and sent a sweeping kick, “60,000,000 Volt… Julungul!!!” Roooaaarrrr!!!

When the kick swept the air, it’s as if it tore through space and a giant dragon-shaped blast of lightning emerges from it and rushed towards Argus.

Seeing this two terrifying beasts, Argus and Arsenios face instantly fell. This kind of power is really unbelievable!

BANG!!!!

However, when the two attacks were about to collide suddenly at this very moment, a golden round shield appeared between the two attacks while spinning.

The moment the two attacks hit the round shield, they were instantly absorbed like water into a sponge.

Not only had the two Mid Gods, even Allen frowned. Allen stared at the rotating the round golden shield and finally saw its real appearance. In the center of the round shield was a familiar golden sculpture. A woman’s head with hair consist of several snakes. Her eyes were closed.

Although it was certainly made up of gold, but the sculpture was lifelike.

“That’s enough,” A voice rang out, echoing in the entire battlefield. It was soft and surprisingly gentle. A woman’s voice.

“Godkins, stay on your arms.”

!!?

The two Mid Gods’ bodies trembled violently and immediately jumped back. They suddenly felt something staring at them, like a frog being glared at by a snake.

“Who’s there!?”

“Show yourself!” The two Mid Gods turned their head and cried out in anger.

The golden round shield slowly faded and disappeared.

Allen’s senses skyrocketed as a surge of familiar feeling sprang up. Closing his eyes, he felt his surroundings. As he was doing so, Asmodeus stood beside him. Vigilant. She realized that the person who had come should not be so simple.

Allen slowly opened his eyes and turned his head at towards a certain direction. His eyes narrowed.

In a large tree, standing at a branch was a small black owl, looking at them with gleaming red eyes.

“Who are you?” Allen spoke but he had already inkling as to who it was.

As expected, when he said that the Owl didn’t try to hide anymore and instead flew towards him.

When it was less than a few meters away from him, the Owl was covered by a black haze and then slowly, the figure transformed into a human silhouette. When the black haze faded, a familiar figure appeared in front of everyone.

“What? Don’t tell me, you already forgot about me? That hurts,” Silver hair and gleaming red eyes. Beautiful face with pale white complexion.

“Are you Athena…Lucy?” Allen asked. His words startled everyone and even the two Mid Gods immediately turned their head and looked at the young girl.

Lucy’s mouth twitches but she still smiled. “That’s right. My real name is Athena but anyone called me Pallas Athena, Olympian Goddess of War, Wisdom, Craft, and Justice… It’s nice to meet you, Old Friend~” Lucy, no, Athena curtsied.

“Your Majesty!!” When she introduced herself, the two Mid Gods immediately kneeled towards her. Even all the Godkins and High Humans did the same.

“We’re glad to see you safe and sound, your majesty!!” Argus and Arsenios cried out. Respect and happiness colored their eyes.

But Athena completely ignored them as she slowly walked towards Allen’s direction. “But, you can call me Lucy, Allen, I preferred that name~”

Asmodeus glared at Athena hatefully and immediately stands between them. “Go away!” A dark magic power in a form of arc flew towards Athena but the latter just waved her hand and the attack vanished into thin air.

“Your servant is really rude, you should really discipline her properly,” Athena grins.

“You!!”

Asmodeus was about to attack again but Allen grasps her shoulder and stops her. “What do you want, Athena…? And what’s with this ridiculous play?”

Athena sighed. “What? Did you forget about our agreement?”

“… …” Allen frowned. He suddenly remembered about the agreement they had when he was still a newbie… indeed, he really had an obligation to her. Wait, didn’t he say two requests….? Damn it! This cheap mouth!

However, Allen can’t say he was regretting it. After all, thanks to her, he had managed to reach this stage. Thus, he indeed has a huge gratitude to her.

Still...

“So, what is it?” Allen sighed and stepped forward. “I have a lot of things to ask you as well. It is convenient for me that you have come yourself,”

Athena’s lips curled into a brilliant smile. “Well, then, let’s go… let’s talk in another place,” She turned around and started leading Allen away.

“Your majesty!” However, she was suddenly blocked by the two Mid Gods.

“We don’t trust that demon! Please let us accompany you!”

Athena was instantly annoyed. “This Pallas doesn’t need you!”

“But your majesty!”

“Do you want me to repeat myself?!” Athena’s aura exploded causing the two Mid Gods to immediately step back in fear. Athena’s aura was just too strong.

This was a High God!

“Go back to Olympus and prepare yourself for a war. Mammon is preparing something big. Contact the other clans.” Athena said annoyed and brushed past them.

The two Mid Gods glared at Allen and Asmodeus but they didn’t do anything anymore and just look at them. Obviously, Allen wouldn’t care as well. However, what caught his attention was Mastema. He actually disappeared. He probably used the commotion as a diversion and escape.
