Lu Mingfei challenges FGO

49. Ding! There was a sound, something was hanging!

Athena is the very official divinity of existence.

As long as you are willing to look for it, almost any goddess can be connected with her and find clues.

The setting is somewhat similar to Athena, and the same goes for Astraea, whose mythology was even integrated in the later stages.

What about Prometheus?

What is the relationship between Prometheus and Astraea?

Strictly speaking, it doesn't matter, although the legend of Astraea's "human suffering in the Caucasus Mountains" after being degraded as the ancient goddess of order (Themis/Justitia) has become very popular now. It’s hard to say clearly, between this incident and the story of Prometheus’s crucifixion, who is the prototype of whom, or whether the legend of Prometheus is also like Athena - originally with Astraea The myths and legends were integrated into Prometheus.

But it doesn't matter what the truth is - it doesn't matter at all to the magician's formula.

As long as there is a certain degree of similarity.

What's more, Prometheus is on the side of Chaldea and Su Xiaoqiang, and Prometheus is the world-famous 'trickster' and 'trickster'.

'Deceive the world and steal the name' - literally means 'deceive the world and steal the name', which has always been Prometheus' specialty.

As long as Prometheus does it and Astraea agrees.

It is not difficult to explain Prometheus and Astraea as ‘related gods sharing a shared mythology’.

Prometheus himself and Athena also had a 'shared myth' - a myth of the creation of man.

Is it far-fetched?

Of course it's far-fetched.

But this 'far-fetched' is Su Xiaoqiang's purpose.

This is also the true usage of Su Xiaoqiang's origin of the concept of 'Trinity' explained to her by Amon.

The method of the trinity, if the three parties are really equal to each other, is the way for the three parties to prove each other's existence and borrow each other's strengths and characteristics.

--but

This thing was originally a method used by the winner to devour the loser's divinity in the battle between gods.

The Trinity existed in a time when the myths used to connect them had not yet been woven.

——That is to say

The trinity of the 'Magic Master' shown by Su Xiaoqiang is not for the purpose of 'proving anything', but for the purpose of 'plundering/stealing'.

It is because they are not fully compatible that they can steal Athena's power in reverse to make up for the missing parts.

This is the original use of the Trinity.

Absorb, devour, plunder—steal the myth of the defeated god and turn it into your own.

When Astraea recognized the 'justice' of Su Xiaoqiang and Prometheus' actions, when the power of justice, order and judgment from the stars came using Su Xiaoqiang's body as a catalyst, the true Trinity spell was activated. .

It’s not about proving each other.

But they rob each other.

Of course, in this case, the party with the most votes in the trinity will have the advantage.

--certainly

In turn, as long as Athena can defeat either Astraea or Prometheus in the process, she can also take away their myths.

In fact, from a historical perspective, Athena was indeed the final winner. As the most popular goddess in both Greek and Roman mythology, the powers of other goddesses were more or less integrated and absorbed by her. , Astraea was re-established as a goddess symbolizing the judicial system after time came to modern times, due to the Renaissance trend of thought.

But there is a problem with 'this Athena in front of me'.

In order to return to the posture of Mother Earth, she adjusted her spiritual base to its more ancient appearance.

That is, the artificial separation between oneself and ‘what happened later’.

This point conflicts with the myth that she later integrated and absorbed other gods.

Therefore, even Prometheus and Astraea, the two losers in the competition with Athena for faith, can fight against the 'Pluto Athena' in front of them, and in turn use Prometheus. Michus's power-stealing tit-for-tat.

For Astraea:

"That posture of yours is out of order, Athena."

Such a sentence is enough.

Although she is a symbol of the God of Justice, Astraea is after all the God of the Stars, the law and order from the stars. The law and order of the stars is, to put it bluntly, the opposite of ‘chaos’.

Astraea has special attack and special defense attributes for anything that can cause chaos.

"Tsk."

Athena is naturally very clear about this.

If there is a conflict at the moment, it will be at a disadvantage for oneself in terms of the compatibility of the concepts.

Athena was originally worried about similar problems, so she was eager to devour the other sun gods in this singularity world to avoid decentralization.

But - disadvantage is disadvantage.

Athena's return to the form of the Earth Mother Goddess, usurping the authority of Pluto, and devouring the power of the sun will naturally trigger Astraea's 'Special Attack on Chaos'.

The power of Pluto and the Sun God also really improved Athena's battle.

--not to mention

Athena has another advantage.

"I am the real god who has appeared! And you are just relying on a fragile human being!"

There is no need to kill Astraea! All you need to do is kill Su Xiaoqiang as the host!

Athena disappeared in an instant, until her figure appeared in front of Su Xiaoqiang, the blade of the huge Pluto's sickle was already close at hand, and the sound and shock wave of the sonic boom caught up with her figure.

Su Xiaoqiang stuffed the "Secrets of Prometheus" from his chest into his body, then raised the three-in-one weapon of staff, sword, and scale in his hand, and forcibly blocked Athena's attack with the power of Hades.

Athena still underestimated Astraea.

Unlike Athena, which is strange to say, Astraea is truly a pure fighting deity.

Even if it is a possession, it also has the basic attributes of being extremely sturdy.

Strength A+

Durability A+

Agility D

Magic EX

Lucky B

Noble Phantasm A+~EX

When fighting an enemy of order judged to be chaotic, the skill [Libra's Guardian A+] will be triggered, and in addition to the Noble Phantasm, all attributes will be raised by one level for a short time.

Both strength and durability will be increased to beyond the normal EX - even to the "higher strength than normal EX" that is already super normal. If the enemy is an enemy of order, Astraea will be in the confrontation judgment. 'Must win'.

Even the level of luck will be upgraded to A.

Magic power doesn't matter - as long as there are stars, Astraea can extract infinite magic power from the starlight and trigger the energy of the stars to bombard the enemy at will.

". She is obviously the goddess of wisdom, but can't she see this clearly? Athena, you are 'wrong' now."

Su Xiaoqiang whispered.

The left hand blocked Athena's weapon with the staff and sword. Then, Su Xiaoqiang stepped on the air, took a solid step forward, let go of the staff and sword in his hand, and firmly grabbed the wrist of Athena's right hand with his left hand. , then, rushed into Athena's arms, changing posture——

——Iron mountain relies on!

"The person in front of you is not Astraea, but me, Su Xiaoqiang!"

Athena: "!?"

"Look directly at me! Bastard!"

As a student, Su Xiaoqiang was very well-behaved. She bought a course from El-Melloi II, the ace teacher in the Clock Tower, so naturally she would not fail in anything.

While Chu Zihang was practicing "Park Man Style Tai Chi" in order to cultivate his character and Lu Mingfei was practicing Tai Chi in order to be lazy, Su Xiaoqiang followed the standard teaching process of the modern clock tower. Martial arts has always been a compulsory test. Among the many electives, Su Xiaoqiang I chose to major in the most popular 'Bajiquan', followed by 'Jeet Kune Do'.

I don’t know why this is the most popular Chinese Kung Fu in the Clock Tower, but these two are bonus points. Su Xiaoqiang, who plans to take the exam and has a major, thinks he has not failed.

And Astraea is also a goddess who keeps her promises.

Su Xiaoqiang said he wanted to borrow power from her, and Astraea agreed, and then she really lent her power - it was just borrowing power, but it was not the real support of the gods, nor was the character of the descending gods affected. Host influence.

Athena was not facing her ‘old acquaintance’ Astraea.

But the proud Su Xiaoqiang!

You may be familiar with Astraea.

But what about me, Su Xiaoqiang? I don’t believe you, a Greek god, are familiar with Bajiquan!

Just to catch you off guard!

At this distance, fists are more effective than any cold weapon!

catch!

Fight!

Back throw!

The power of the stars fills every inch of Su Xiaoqiang's muscles! Endless! Unrivaled!

Astraea's spiritual base has an overwhelming advantage in hand-to-hand combat, even higher than that of Malda. The only flaw is 'agility' - not just speed but agility. Speed, for as long as the stars Astraea, who shines with unlimited magic power, can release magic power as a jet engine and continuously release and accelerate it. Astraea also has magic power release skills, and it is also the highest level A+ among the conventional ones.

Astraea's agility value is low precisely because the energy level is too high, so high that even Astraea herself cannot master it perfectly.

Although linear acceleration is powerful, it is difficult for Astraea to perform even slightly complicated movements, so she has to slow down her speed during actual combat.

——But it is not Astraea who is here now, but Su Xiaoqiang.

Of course, Su Xiaoqiang couldn't do it either.

But——Su Xiaoqiang is in trouble!

Only a crisp sound of "ding!" was heard.

"Connected to Lu Mingfei network."

The people next to me were still watching the battle, watching the two goddesses perform the classic "woman beating woman". By the way, I was amazed by Su Xiaoqiang's performance as if he had transformed into the god-killer in "God Killer Campione!". By the way, he was amazed by the XP that Su Xiaoqiang had on him in this posture. The critical attack resembled the Sword Saint in "Goblin Slayer" or the fireproof girl Su Xiaoqiang in "Dark Souls 3". Lu Mingfei was startled in surprise.

It’s not that Lu Mingfei only intends to watch the show and not help. The main reason is that compared to the Demon Gundam and La’s Winged Dragon here, Su Xiaoqiang and Athena are too small, and they are basically chasing you at high altitude and high speed throughout the whole process. I was fighting hand-to-hand, and the scene looked like it was on the set of "Dragon Ball". The size difference was too big, and it was difficult to intervene.

Forcibly intervening may be detrimental.

But Su Xiaoqiang contacted him himself.

The little goddess didn't explain anything, and directly gave an order to Lu Mingfei, her 'younger brother when Martha was away': "Help me control the 'speed'! Astraea's speed is too fast. , I can’t control it when it goes crazy!”

Lu Mingfei understood immediately.

Then the battle between Su Xiaoqiang and Athena turned into a one-sided 'hand-to-hand' fight.

With the assistance of Lu Mingfei, Athena could not get rid of Su Xiaoqiang, who had an overwhelming combat advantage. Compared with Athena, who had many powers but relied too much on spells and artifacts in battle, Astraea The advantage of a purely hand-to-hand combat god is too great.

Lu Mingfei's plug-in is endorsed by Ritsuka Fujimaru, and the devil has agreed to use it!

Of course, the fundamental reason is actually that Athena's most important defensive artifact, the 'Absolute Defense Circle (Aegis) System', is not in Athena's hands, but has been borrowed by Odysseus.

Just like this -

——[Observation divergence point appears]——

[1. Su Xiaoqiang: "Athena! I have defeated you!" (Real or false?)]

[2/5/6. Because of the power of Hades, Athena has a certain degree of immortality in the underworld and cannot be killed. If it takes a long time, Odysseus will bring back the holy clothes borrowed by Athena. He can only Astraea’s hidden treasure is activated]

[3/8, Mordred failed to hold him back, Achilles came back to kill him! (The melee intensifies)]

[4/7, Achilles came back and rescued Athena! (The battle is temporarily over.)]

[9. Unable to catch up, Odysseus couldn’t hold it off any longer and sent back Athena’s Holy Cloth—I mean the ‘Absolute Defense Circle System’]

【10. Super expansion of chaos】

【1D10=9】

--Sudden

Indescribable, a certain 'feeling' like an electric shock spread throughout the underworld.

No notification from anyone.

But everyone present realized one thing.

Odysseus, Athena's holy warrior, returns with Athena's holy garments.

Couldn't catch up.

Athena, who had usurped the authority of Hades, had a certain degree of immortality in this land of the underworld, but she was held back by her.

Su Xiaoqiang tried to activate Astraea's hidden EX-level Noble Phantasm and called the [Star Court] to give it a try, but Odysseus came back so fast that Su Xiaoqiang had no time to activate the second Noble Phantasm. .

Lu Mingfei subconsciously wanted to kill him - but was stopped by Su Xiaoqiang's angry shout.

"I don't need you to give me life! I've already made it this far, how can I give up halfway!"

"But the eldest sister——"

"I said no!"

Su Xiaoqiang rushed forward and held Athena tightly in his arms with an overwhelming advantage in hand-to-hand combat. Then, he called out the chains of the God of Law, trapping himself and Athena, and the two rushed together. Up in the sky.

"I, Su Xiaoqiang, don't owe you anything, Lu Mingfei! I don't want to owe you anything! You saved me before, this time I will pay you back, and then - I will come back! You don't need to pay any price to save me!"

The next moment, the magic power of the stars was injected into the bodies of Su Xiaoqiang and the struggling Athena.

Athena immediately realized what she was going to do, and her expression suddenly changed:

"Are you crazy!? It doesn't matter that I am a god, but if you do this, you-"

Su Xiaoqiang ignored the struggling Athena.

"I, Su Xiaoqiang, am also a woman who can definitely do whatever I want!"

"you--"

[Athena’s ‘evaluation’ of ‘Su Xiaoqiang’: 1D60+40 (you are also a God-killer) = 60+40=100]

Before Lu Mingfei could realize what she was going to do——

She and Athena ascended into the sky, amidst the energy of the infinite starlight shining in the Clothes of Stars, they leaned down and fell downward - falling, and constantly accelerating with the energy output of the stars!

Su Xiaoqiang hugged Athena and crashed through the earth of the underworld!

In this mythical land, although the Kingdom of Hades is a different space, it also exists under the earth of the human world. So, what is the underground of the Kingdom of Hades?

Maybe it's the Inner Sea of ​​Stars. Or maybe it's the Sea of ​​Imaginary Numbers?

After forcibly dragging Athena away, can he come back?

Has Su Xiaoqiang considered this?

But Lu Mingfei was stunned, shocked by Su Xiaoqiang's stubborn and excessive belief. It was clear that everything was unknown, but Lu Mingfei somehow felt that the little goddess said that she could come back, and she really could come back.

Or rather, she was prepared to never come back when she made this trip.

"."

Lu Mingfei's fists were clenched and unclenched three times in a row.

But in the end, he still had no intention of disobeying his eldest sister, and did not choose to risk his life to get her back.

Just like that, the figures of the Star Godslayer and the Earth Mother Goddess, together with the light, went all the way down, blasting a tens of kilometers long crack in the Egyptian underworld, and just like that, they disappeared. In the darkness of the earth.

[Why does Athena rate Su Xiaoqiang so highly? (Because the group of friends strongly requested that it be interesting)]

[1/3/5/8, admire Su Xiaoqiang’s courage and courage]

[2/4. Be careful about whether Greek gods are male or female. Wait, Athena is a virgin goddess. Is that really possible? 】

[6. Athena said that she changed her solo route to Su Lu (?)]

[7/9, Regression Principle·Su Xiaoqiang is Athena! (Referring to the reincarnation of the Earth’s native ‘Athenian Girl’. She was probably the witch of the ancient city of Athens (still a human being), but her identity and name were later taken away by a certain machine god from outside)]

【10. Super expansion of chaos】

【1D10=9】

[The principle of regression. Su Xiaoqiang is Athena! 】

[In this way, Su Xiaoqiang beat Athena, it’s another moon classic and I killed myself ()]
