Chapter 110 Luo En, This Thing is Much More Useful Than Magic_2
At that time, the usually gentle and approachable Goddess of the Hearth was holding a peculiar weapon, forged of mountain copper and Silver Star Sand, and bearing a model similar to the Essence Fluid Cannon with golden flame patterns etched on its surface.
"Hephaestus was right, this thing is much more useful than magic," Hestia muttered contentedly, blowing the gun smoke from the muzzle.
—Griffin Heavy Cannon [Igrefi].
Crafted meticulously for her by the God of Craftsmanship, Hephaestus, drawing on the forging techniques of the Bronze Clan.
This weapon's greatest advantage was its simplicity and ease of use. It could also adjust its output power by infusing different levels of Divine Power.
For Hestia, who had lost her divinity and divine position but still possessed high-quality Divine Power and was not adept at combat, it was a perfect match.
Looking at the scattered parts of Typhon's offspring littered on the ground, she grew even more attached to her newly acquired treasure.
However, before she could linger over this exceptional performance, the sky, momentarily brightened by a beam from the Griffin Heavy Cannon, darkened once again.
Hundreds of dragon heads intertwined and roared head-up in the sky. The monster's red and black scales resembled magma surging from the sea bottom. The venom, torrents, hurricanes, and thick smoke it spewed were relentlessly eroding the fading starlight overhead.
"In my name, I call for victory!"
At the critical moment, the burning Spear of Victory soared out amidst the solemn chanting of Divine Words, tearing through the storm and clouds amassed by Typhon's divinity over Athens.
Next, draped in Golden Armor, wielding both the Spear of Victory and Aegis Shield, Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom and War, rose into the sky atop the hundred-headed dragon Ladon, engaging in fierce combat with the roaring Demon Ancestor Typhon.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The intense explosions kept resounding over the Aegean Sea, as the greatest forces from both sides brutally clashed, sparks of lightning exploding around them, ferocious winds sweeping wildly.
During the initial battle, Athena, with her exquisite combat skills and magical support from the hundred-headed dragon Ladon, inflicted varying degrees of damage on Typhon.
Chunks of flesh and scales peeled off the Demon Ancestor, falling into the sea. Subsequently, under the rhythm of a glimmering pattern, they transformed into diverse Divine Monsters such as Hydras, Sphinxes, and Chimeras.
These newly born monsters, possessing the same brutal nature as their father, rushed into the Beast Tide upon acquiring their shapes, swarming towards the Acropolis of Athens, trying to pry open its outer shell to invade the human city and revel in the blood and flesh of those 'ants.'
With the addition of these Typhon's offspring, the already strenuous defense lines of Athens became severely threatened, multiple times breached by the Beast Tide.
Fortunately, the timely intervention by The Three Graces, The Nine Muses, the Battle Nymphs led by the Mother of Serpents, and the Holy Warriors staved off the onslaught, allowing the Acropolis of Athens to persevere through the crisis.
Athena, catching a glimpse of the steadfast citadel never faltering behind her, unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, Typhon, hovering over the Aegean Sea, instantly caught Athena's subtle movement and, with a sinister smile, hefted the Storm Hammer overhead aimed at both the Acropolis of Athens and War God Mountain with all his might.
"Boom!"
The next moment, the incredible Divine Force enveloped in the fierce storm smashed onto the Aegis Shield. Athena and Ladon plummeted from the sky like cannonballs, crashing heavily onto the plaza in front of the Great Temple.
"Pfft!"
From within the crater, the Goddess of Wisdom and the hundred-headed dragon simultaneously spewed a mouthful of Golden Blood, their faces pale, their radiant auras flickering like candles in the wind.
"Despicable!"
Hestia, looking towards the sneering Typhon at sea, could not help but angrily denounce the Demon Ancestor.
Despite having overwhelming strength, he repeatedly used the Beast Tide to wear down the faith power of the Great Temple, weakening the resistance of the Athenian gods and gradually forcing Athena to confront him directly;
Even in the final battle, this villain targeted both the Acropolis and ordinary humans within the city, forcing Athena to collide with him head-on—an act of utter shamelessness!
"Despicable?"
Typhon, looking down at the earth's ant-like lives from above, burst into a scornful, dismissive laugh.
"Wait until I've swallowed you all, then discuss all you like!"
The reason Divine Monsters were stronger than beasts was not just their strength but also their cunning use of intelligence.
Due to some brat, he had already suffered setbacks at War God Mountain, so of course, he needed to be thoroughly prepared this time.
Once he eliminated War God Mountain's 'wings,' devoured those rebellious children hidden within, he could also complete a consolidation of divinity, evolving into a stronger being.
At that point, let alone Kronos; even Zeus might not be his match!
As long as he could win in the end, 'despicable'? 'noble'? What would they, a Divine Monster clan, care about these standards set by the New Gods and mankind?
"Rumble!"
Like ink, the all-demon progenitor rose from the sea surface, closed its wings, and plummeted onto the grand plaza of War God Mountain. The surging Divine Power instantly demolished the surrounding structures and city walls.
Now, let your flesh and blood lay the foundation for my ascent to the Divine Throne!
Typhon sneered, opening his jaws wide as his hundred heads lunged at the severely injured Athena and Ladon on the War God Mountain plaza.
"Get out of the way!"
In the cold roar, the dark red vertical pupil glaringly wide, a series of purple Magic Beams streaked across the sky, densely exploding on Typhon's massive body.
The continuously spreading eerie glow illuminated the dim sky over Athens, and the approaching demon progenitor slid hundreds of meters back under the massive impact force, its body blasted open and the surrounding wounds showing signs of stone-like petrification.
