Chapter 189 Come on, Follow Me Into the House!
On the Sea of Oceanus, a long and fierce chase continues.
Both parties chasing each other seemed to be holding a breath of anger in their hearts, and no one was willing to give up easily, so they each tried their best to compete on this sea.
Lorne was driving a bronze chariot in front, using the speed of [Goat] and the protection of the sea from [Whale] to the extreme. Coupled with the joint defense of Astraea, the goddess of justice, he gradually pursued the rear. Reluctantly, the four evil women of Greece distanced themselves.
But even so, he still frowned, with an expression that was not optimistic.
Because the time when [Goat] and [Whale] are used together cannot last long.
On the one hand, this is a big burden for him.
On the other hand, pouring these two powers into the bodies of two war horses will also cause a huge load.
If they were not divine horses with immortality and extremely strong adaptability, they would probably explode and die under the impact of power and divine power.
But even so, these two horses with thick and durable skins were already sweating like pulp under the continuous tossing, and the strong smell of blood was mixed with them. They were obviously reaching their limit.
"How far is it?" Lorne asked.
"Right in front!" Astraya replied without hesitation
At the same time, she raised her finger and pointed to the vague outline of a small island on the sea in front of her to the left.
Seeing that he was about to reach the finish line, Lorne couldn't help but secretly let out a sigh of relief.
However, before he could catch his breath, the two horses galloping in front of him screamed, and clouds of blood mist exploded from their bodies. Their hooves immediately gave way, causing the entire chariot to fall forward.
"Jump!"
Lorne picked up the unconscious Thetis next to him and jumped out of the car without forgetting to shout a warning to his new teammates behind him.
As the sister of the Star Gods and the Four Wind Gods, Astraea's reaction and speed were not slow either. She then opened the starlight wings behind her and took off into the air, while throwing out several sword beams to hinder the pursuers behind. While protecting the two "righteous people" in his mind, he fought and retreated.
But because of this delay, the Furies and Eris inevitably caught up.
Seeing the critical situation, Astraea immediately flapped her wings, drew her sword and flew into the air, showing a righteous momentum.
"You go first, I'll cover you!"
That look is very much like a tragic hero in classicism.
"Pah!"
However, this righteous man took only two steps before he was hit hard on the head by a violent blow from behind.
"What are you cutting off? There are restrictions on the island. Open the door first!"
"Oh, I forgot, right away!"
Astraya suddenly realized, slapped her forehead, accelerated past the two figures in front, and rushed to the island in the lead.
Lorne looked at a blonde goddess who was far ahead, and then looked at himself holding Thetis in his arms, exposed to the eyes of the four evil women behind him, and his face was suddenly black.
Forget it, why get angry with the hot-blooded idiot.
Lorne took a deep breath, barely suppressed the resentment in his heart, and immediately raised his hand to throw Thetis in his arms.
"Next!"
At the same time, he drew several Hermetic lines with his fingertips in the air, then reached out and inserted his hand into the purple-red magic array, pulling out the [Spear of Nation-Building] inch by inch, and the [Warrior] born in blood and the invincible [Wild Boar] appeared behind him.
"One defeats ten, ten defeats a hundred, a hundred defeats a thousand, a thousand defeats ten thousand! I am the strongest man, holding all the victors, and I will defeat all powerful enemies and evildoers!"
Accompanied by the solemn words of God, the power of [Warrior] and [Wild Boar] surged into the [Spear of Nation-Building], and the strong death rushed forward, turning into a red and black light stream that annihilated everything.
Aware of the destructive power contained in it, the three goddesses of vengeance and Eris who caught up with them did not dare to take it head-on, and gathered large amounts of blood and energy, turning into layers of scarlet barriers.
When the two collided, the space that condensed the high concentration of ether collapsed and twisted, and then exploded, forming a huge mushroom cloud.
This time, Loen did not retreat, and the opponent was forced to retreat a hundred meters.
But then, the violent breath in Lorne's body could no longer be suppressed. A sweet and fishy feeling surged up in his throat. He opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of golden red dirty blood, and his face turned slightly pale.
There was no way. It was too difficult for him to fight one against four, and none of them were good people.
"Okay, it's open!"
At this moment, a cheer came from behind, like the sound of nature.
Well done, Astraea!
Seeing that the purpose of delaying had been achieved, Lorne immediately withdrew and followed the blonde goddess into the slowly opening starlight curtain.
"Asshole, don't even think about running!"
After chasing all the way but not getting a single hair, Eris couldn't help but get angry. She immediately got hot-headed and vibrated the black wings behind her and rushed towards the curtain.
Lorne, who was left behind, seemed to have reached the end of his strength. In front of the open door of the starlight curtain, his feet staggered, and the empty door behind him opened.
Seeing such a good opportunity, Eris' eyes lit up, and she immediately accelerated towards Lorne, reaching out to grab the back of the target's neck.
After all the trouble for so long, it can't be that there is nothing to gain, right? If you go back like that, won't you be laughed at to death?
However, at the moment when the two sides were about to touch, Lorne, who had originally fallen forward, suddenly turned his head, grinned back, grabbed Eris's wrist, and took the opportunity to pull the unprepared goddess of discord into the starlight curtain.
I've been fooled, I'm going to suffer!
Eris realized that something was wrong and subconsciously wanted to break free.
However, it was too late.
Lorne immediately relied on the superb close combat skills of [Infinite Martial Arts] to push Eris down, clamp her arms, and then straddle her waist and abdomen to fix her torso and lower limbs.
"Close the door!"
Accompanied by a loud shout, Astraea in front of the starlight curtain woke up as if from a dream, and quickly retracted her strange gaze, raised her hand to turn the golden scales on both sides of the hilt, and ordered the starlight curtain to close.
The three goddesses of vengeance on the sea saw their allies being captured, and they roared hoarsely, swung their viper whips, and called on the blood mist in the sky to crash into the starlight curtain and rush to rescue them.
As the scarlet from the erosion fell on the starlight curtain, the sizzling corrosion sound came one after another, and the starlight barrier outside the island was quickly dissolved.
At this moment, under the starry sky, a cold and solemn whisper came.
"Order should be returned here..."
In an instant, accompanied by the rhythm of the gods' words, beams of starlight fell, like a sword of judgment falling from the sky, sweeping away the rich blood light outside the island.
On the island, an elegant goddess with blonde hair and a white veil walked barefoot on the gravel path shaded by the forest and came to the starlight curtain.
She was wearing a blue translucent cloth with a visible skin outline. On the cloth were several gorgeous gold ornaments inlaid with rubies. She had a plump body and stunning beauty. She held a Libra sword, which symbolized justice and law.
Unlike Astraea, this beautiful and quiet figure had her eyes covered by a black scarf, but she moved smoothly and did not seem to be affected by the darkness in front of her.
Obviously, she was not really blind.
[Libra] symbolizes absolute fairness and justice, and is used to measure all the injustices in the world. [Sword of Judgment] symbolizes killing all the evil people in the world and punishing evil and promoting good. [Scale on top and sword on bottom] means that although she advocates justice, she does not advocate unnecessary killing. It also implies that no one can kill others without reason in the name of justice.
And finally, she covered her eyes with a black veil, which symbolized that she was fair and selfless, and did not show favoritism. No matter who was in front of her, she would treat everyone equally.
At this moment, Loen finally remembered what was different between the costume of the goddess of justice and the first generation when he first met Astraea.
——That's right, there was a missing [blindfold].
At this time, the blonde blindfolded goddess raised her head slightly, looked at the three goddesses of vengeance outside the curtain, and spoke softly, her voice was like a cold and astringent ice spring.
"Blood of Uranus, you, have crossed the line..."
And seeing the figure appearing below, the three goddesses of vengeance, who were arrogant before, swallowed their saliva, a trace of deep fear flashed in their eyes, and then spoke hoarsely.
"Hand over Lord Eris, we will leave now."
Themis did not answer, but turned to look at Loen and Astraea on the side, with a businesslike attitude
"Let's stop here, what do you two think?"
"Of course!"
Lorn immediately grabbed Astraea who wanted to protest, smiled slightly, and took the initiative to release Eris who was restrained.
Themis nodded slightly, and without waiting for Eris to speak, she turned the hilt of the sword, opened the starlight curtain, and threw the goddess of discord out of the island with divine power, and spoke in a deep voice.
"Four of you, this is my residence, it is not convenient to receive outsiders, please go back."
"They are not... woo woo..."
Eris, who was indignant, was about to argue, but was grabbed by the three goddesses of vengeance who rushed over and covered her mouth tightly.
Although Eris is the beloved daughter of the god king Zeus, she belongs to the object of their service.
But the one on the island is even more difficult to deal with.
If they don't come down after being given a way out, they may not have to face the three little guys, but the ancient Titan god.
Thinking of the starlight sword rain that melted most of their blood just now, the three goddesses of revenge felt cold in their hearts, and quickly lifted up the struggling little princess Eris, and quickly escaped from the perception range of everyone.
Watching the four figures outside the island gradually go farther and farther until they disappear, Themis turned around and looked at the disciples in front of her, and her eyes under the black veil revealed a trace of invisible anger and severity.
Astraea was like a mouse seeing a cat, her neck shrank, and she hid behind Loen, avoiding the sight of teacher Themis that made her feel like a thorn in the back.
Alas, how many times have I said it, but she still has this temper.
Haven't you suffered enough because of these things before?
For this disciple with a hard-to-change temperament, the goddess of justice could only sigh helplessly, and her eyes fell on Thetis on the side, and after a brief examination, she understood.
"Mark of Revenge? Bring her in quickly."
"Okay! I know you won't let her die without saving her, teacher!"
Hearing her teacher take the initiative to speak, Astraia immediately flattered with a smile, and immediately reached out to help Thetis into the hall.
However, as soon as Astraia raised her arm, she was hit hard by a falling sword with a sheath.
"You stay and stand guard outside."
Hearing this arrangement with some punitive meaning, Astraia could only respond angrily, and stood guard outside as punishment, and sent a "helpless" look to Loen.
Loen nodded solemnly, then leaned over to help the unconscious Thetis, followed the footsteps of the goddess of justice, and walked into the hall.
"Are you back? The ice hasn't melted yet, do you want another cup?"
As soon as she entered the door, a lazy and inexplicably familiar voice came from the inner hall.
Is there anyone else?
Lorne subconsciously looked up and followed the sound. He suddenly saw a graceful figure with long purple hair, sitting on one side of the square table in the hall, turning a wine glass, and playing with a few oak carved chess pieces in the other hand.
Sensing the gaze, the purple-haired goddess turned her head gracefully and looked at Lorne who came in, with a smile on her face.
"See you again, my lovely grandson."
"What a coincidence, Grandmaster..."
Lorne responded with a fake smile, and looked at Hecate who appeared in front of him with a flickering look, and secretly felt a little alert in his heart.
How did this woman run out of the underworld?
And she was mixed with Themis?
At the same time, the eyes of the goddess of justice, covered with black veils, swept over the two people in the subtle atmosphere on the field, and her eyebrows also gathered.
Do they know each other?
Just as the three gods on the scene were secretly looking at each other with mixed emotions, Thetis in Loen's arms uttered a painful moan, breaking the strange silence.
"Come on, follow me into the house!"
Themis's expression became serious, and she immediately put aside her doubts, and took Lorne and the patient in his arms to the backyard.
Watching the three figures in front of her pass by her, Hecate raised her hand and put an ice cube into the empty wine glass, filled the wine again, and tasted it leisurely, with the corners of her lips raised in joy.
I thought it was just a boring journey, but I didn't expect to have unexpected gains.
