Her body swayed, and then a very unnatural smile appeared on her face.
And the large piece of meat that she had just bitten off.
Hilde picked it up and put it directly into his mouth.
After chewing it a few times, I swallowed it.
"what……"
Seeing the other party eating his flesh and blood.
Ares was scared.
It was the first time he felt this kind of fear, a fear that even as a god, he also had for the unknown. It was difficult for Ares to describe this feeling, but he felt a strong shock in his heart.
After eating the flesh and blood, Hilde's body suddenly mutated. The wound on her shoulder suddenly began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye. Obviously, the wound caused by Ares's divine power just now has now completely disappeared and healed.
And Hilde also raised his head.
A pair of blood-red eyes stared at Ares closely.
The Appearance of the Hunting Goddess
"Hilde!"
Ares raised his spear.
"What is this!?"
"..."
Hilde didn't answer, but picked up the spear on the ground and rushed towards Ares. The current Hilde was very different from the Hilde who was flying in the sky just now, like the reincarnation of Athena.
Hilde now was more of a monster than a goddess. Her movements were completely random, almost in her most feral state, following her instincts and her most primitive desire to fight, abandoning all wisdom and reason, and devoting herself to the battle.
Facing such a Hilde.
Ares knew.
No matter what, you have to give it 100% of your attention.
Otherwise, you might be the one who dies tragically in the end.
"Ow!!!"
Hilde roared loudly, and the spear in his hand was about to pierce Ares.
Ares could only fight and retreat. The situation just now had already undergone a huge reversal.
In the previous battle with Hilde, Hilde was not as experienced as Ares, and could only gain a slight advantage by relying on the special divine power that could affect him. But now, Hilde's fighting style was disorganized, and this fighting style that relied on his instincts made Ares feel at a loss. Because you can never guess what Hilde will do next.
It was stabbed with a spear.
Hit with a shield.
Or bite it directly with your mouth.
No matter what method he uses, Hilde's goal is to kill the god in front of him.
At this time, Artemis had also arrived here. When she saw Hilde fighting with Ares, Artemis understood immediately. She knew that this was the state Hilde had appeared when she was fighting Apollo. However, Hilde at that time used such power because she could not be the enemy of Apollo.
"What……"
Artemis remembered.
Hilde once told me about this kind of power.
Hilde said that this power was an extremely dangerous, bloodthirsty power. In the past, if Hilde smelled too much blood, this might happen. Later, as his strength increased, Hilde would not be attracted by the smell of blood even on the battlefield. However, Hilde found that if he drank his own blood, this would happen.
By losing her mind and entering a bloodthirsty and violent state, she can greatly improve her abilities. However, the price is that Hilde can't be anxious about anything that happens during the battle. Moreover, it is easy to fall into a state where you can't distinguish between friend and foe. What Hilde hates most is losing her mind. She said that if she loses her mind and doesn't know what to do, she will be very scared.
Therefore, Hilde would not use this power easily unless it was absolutely necessary.
And now...
I guess it has come to the point where it is absolutely necessary.
"Hilde!!!"
Ares roared in anger.
He raised his foot and kicked Hilde.
This kick was extremely powerful. If it hit a mountain or a rock, any rock would be shattered. But Hilde only flew about ten meters away. As soon as he fell to the ground, Hilde got up directly from the ground and rushed towards Ares.
Once Ares and Hilde were in an awkward situation of close combat, he would face great danger. After just a few minutes of fighting, Ares' body was covered with wounds. Wherever Hilde bit him, the same situation would happen - the wound would be difficult to heal, as if it was necrotic. Moreover, Ares could feel a strange divine power, like a black mist, entwined around the wound.
"hateful……"
Ares clenched his teeth.
At this time, no matter what, I can't give up.
"Hilde...what an ugly monster you have become!"
"Is this the price of your 'power'?!"
Ares felt fear.
If so, this is the power of the original library of creation.
Then, the Creation Library seems to have a very strange place. If its power comes at the cost of such a situation, then Ares must consider whether the Creation Library is worth getting at all costs. However, the current problem is that Ares must defeat Hilde, otherwise, he might die here.
"what--!!!"
Ares let out a roar.
Now, Ares has gone all out.
Use all your strength to deal with Hilde in front of you.
However, no matter how hard he tried, Hilde was always gradually suppressing his strength. Now Hilde seemed to have a strong learning ability. After a few rounds of fighting, he seemed to have memorized Ares's fighting style. At the beginning, Ares's spear could still hit Hilde's body frequently, but now, every time his spear attacked, Hilde seemed to have noticed it long ago and dodged it directly!
If this continues.
Ares knew that he would definitely die here.
And at this point, Artemis couldn't help herself.
She raised the Moonlight Silver Bow in her hand and aimed it at Hilde.
She didn't want to intervene. In order to save Tomyris, she chose to stand on the enemy side with Ares, which was already against Artemis's principles. Now, Hilde fell into this violent state, and Ares was already tired. If he continued, Ares might die here. However, Artemis knew that if Ares died, the contradiction between the Olympian gods and Hilde would become even more irreconcilable, and he, Artemis, would inevitably be regarded as an accomplice.
Completely excluded by Artemis.
And the most important thing is.
She didn't want to see Hilde turn into a beast that only knew how to fight.
Especially with Athena's body...
"I'm sorry, Hilde."
Artemis pulled the bow in her hand, and a large amount of divine power gathered in Artemis' hands.
As a god, Artemis used the potential of the Moonlight Bow to its fullest. The divine power gathered together and immediately condensed into her bow and arrow. Then, she released the bowstring towards Hilde. The silver arrow, with a soft glow, flew straight down. Then it suddenly dispersed in the air, forming hundreds of tiny arrows, and then overwhelming Hilde.
"What!?"
Ares only discovered it at this time.
Chapter 6: A sudden change of circumstances
He originally thought that these arrows were all shot at him.
So he jumped suddenly and jumped to the back.
However, these arrows did not fly towards Ares, but turned into something like a net, pressing directly on Hilde. Hilde, who was suddenly controlled by these arrows, had no way to get out of it for a while. The barrier formed by the arrows was like an airtight wall. Even if Hilde rushed up suddenly, she could not break the wall.
And Ares saw this.
He raised his head and looked at Artemis in the sky.
"You, are you helping me?"
"I'm not helping you."
Artemis raised her bow and aimed it at Ares.
"You go."
"you……"
"You have seen the power of the Book of Genesis! It is not a good thing!" Seeing Ares's unwillingness to admit defeat, Artemis frowned in grief and shouted, "Apollo died because of his greed. He wanted the power in the Book of Genesis! But you are not, Ares! I believe you are not."
"Artemis, you..."
"I know what you want to ask."
Artemis took a deep breath.
"I didn't betray Olympus. I betrayed Zeus! Don't you know why Zeus needs this terrible power? Don't you understand? He didn't want to do it himself because he didn't want to be backfired by this power. So, I rescued you from Hilde, and after that, you should know what to do. Ares, just take this as my personal request. I don't want Apollo's tragedy to happen to you."
"Are you looking down on me?"
Ares looked at Hilde who was rampaging inside the barrier.
I was also a little scared inside.
"I, I just..."
"But, you are greedy too? Yes, there is no other way. The power of the Original Book of Creation is too tempting for the gods. Everyone wants to get involved and everyone wants to get its power. But now you have seen it, do you also want to become such an irrational monster? Moreover, Hilde is the host chosen by the Original Book of Creation itself, and this state will not last long. But what if it is you? If you are not chosen by the Original Book of Creation, you will be affected by such power and become a monster who has lost his mind..."
"do not talk!"
Ares shook his head quickly.
"Okay, I'm leaving."
"…Also, your oracle is dead."
"..."
Ares sighed.
"Dead again, I see."
"Go! I can't hold on any longer!"
As soon as the voice fell, the barrier set by Artemis was suddenly cracked by Hilde. Seeing this, Ares turned around and left. After watching Ares disappear, Artemis breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know whether her choice was right or not, but... the reason she did this was just to make up for it. After all, Artemis had done something that was wrong to the gods of Olympus. This time, if she saved Ares, maybe she could make up for it.
"Wake up, Hilde."
Artemis lowered her bow.
She floated gently to the ground and looked at Hilde in front of her.
"The danger has passed."
"Ow—!"
Hilde suddenly broke through the barrier and rushed directly towards Artemis.
Artemis was shocked. She didn't expect the barrier to break so quickly. Before she could react, Hilde rushed in front of Artemis and pressed her to the ground.
"Hilde! Wake up!"
"what……"
Hilde's movements became noticeably slower.
Although now she has entered a state where she can no longer distinguish between friend and foe.
But Artemis found that she still retained some sanity.
"Hilde! I'm Artemis!"
"Stop doing this! Wake up!!!"
Everyone has different opinions on what the power of the Book of Creation is. At least, in the eyes of most gods, the power of the Book of Creation comes from the God of Creation. It is the wisdom of gods such as Phanes. It is a sacred power that can change the world. However, Artemis herself feels that the power of the Book of Creation is much more terrible than they imagined.
She observed for a long time, including the changes that happened to Tomyris. Artemis noticed it. However, the truth is that under the influence of this power, the divine power of Sophia, Hilde, Dione and Tomyris began to change. They became very similar to Hilde, and even Sophia grew Hilde's horns. What the horns represent, no one knows.
Artemis looked at Hilde who was so close.
