On the other end of the phone, Liliana looked strangely at Luo Yun, who was lying on the sofa on Lukulazia's lap, eating the fruit that Lukulazia picked up with a toothpick and brought to his mouth, while leisurely looking at his "black history".
As for Erica, she had already gone to the bathroom when Dianna answered the phone, but after Erica left, the seat where she was sitting became a little wet.
Retracting her gaze, Liliana was silent for a moment before answering: "...The King is in a bad mood now!"
In fact, Luo Yun was chatting and laughing with Lukulazia on the sofa.
However, Liliana's words caused Luo Yun to look at her suspiciously, "I didn't expect that a guy like you with willow eyebrows and thin waist would lie with open eyes!"
On the other side, in the Bronze Black Cross meeting room, after hearing Liliana's reply, the commander of the 'Lily City' instantly lost his joy. Even the commanders of several other magic societies became uneasy because of Liliana's words.
"..."
The commander of the Lily City was in a state of panic, not daring to speak. From the length of time Liliana took to reply, he learned that in addition to the King's bad mood, there was another important message.
That means his previous guess was correct, and now the 'Demon King' is right beside Liliana, and it is even possible that his previous conversation with her was all heard by the 'Glorious Lord'!
"This master is even harder to serve than the Marquis of Vauban!" This is exactly what the commander of the Lily City feels in his heart right now!
Thinking of this, the commander of the Lily City felt extremely nervous. Not only the commanders of other magic societies did not even dare to breathe, but even Diana and Paul, whose reputation had risen because of Liliana and Erica, did not dare to speak.
After all, if he took advantage of the fact that Liliana and Erica were the Demon King's favorite concubines and made random remarks, thus affecting the Demon King's opinion of the two girls, it would be a waste of effort.
Just when the commander of the 'Lily City' didn't know how to respond, Liliana's voice came from Diana's phone again.
"I know you want to ask why you sent the sacred tool, but the 'King' is still in a bad mood!"
"But do you or any of you know how long it has been since the divine tool was dug out and until it came into the hands of the 'King'? Almost a week!"
"When you found the divine tool, I'm afraid the first thing you thought about was not to deliver it to the 'King' immediately, but to think about how to use it to gain the greatest benefit."
Liliana's words hit the nail on the head when the commander of the Lily City just found the divine tool!
Just when the commander of the Lily City was about to ask for forgiveness, Liliana's voice rang out again on the phone: "Of course the King is merciful. Although you did not offer the sacred tool to the King immediately, the King still decided to forgive your disrespect!"
"As long as you cut off your right hand, resign from the position of commander, and the Lily City offers the King a divine tool that can summon the God of Disobedience within half a year!"
The commander of the 'Lily City', who had seen hope because of Liliana's previous words, was thrown into the abyss by Liliana's second words the next moment!
Although the heir of the 'Lily City' has not yet fully grown, I can still assist him after resigning from the position of commander. However, once I lose an arm, my swordsmanship, magic, or other skills will be affected, and my strength will decline!
There are many factions within the 'Lily City', and many people are eyeing the position of the commander-in-chief of the 'Lily City'!
But there is no way. Since Liliana said so on the phone, it means that what she said is the intention of the "Glorious Lord".
Although he was unwilling in his heart, in order to prevent the 'Lily City' from turning into the dust of history under the wrath of the 'Devil', the commander of the 'Lily City' had no choice but to agree!
"As ordered!"
A few minutes later, the gushing blood solidified, and the commander of the 'Lily City' walked out of the door of the Bronze Black Cross Conference Room with a frustrated look on his face, amid the sighing expressions of the other commanders!

Chapter 44: Stepping on the Waves! (Please give me flowers! Please give me votes!)
Wow~wow~wow~~~
At dusk, Luo Yun and his group, who had finished dinner, were walking on the beach not far from their residence.
The gravel that was originally heated by the sun has become warmer as time goes by and is no longer so hot on your feet!
This is also the reason why Erica and Liliana, as well as Aliana and Kallen, dare to chase and play barefoot on the beach.
However, unlike the four girls, Luo Yun and Lukulazia beside him were wearing beach shoes. They both wore them because they didn't want to walk barefoot on the beach.
Lukulazia was wearing a lavender, thin, knee-length dress, revealing her smooth calves. Her ten jade-like toes were curled slightly on her beach shoes. Her arms were around Luo Yun's right hand, and her long golden hair was gently fluttering behind her in the sea breeze. Her eyes, like autumn water, were staring at Luo Yun with an indescribable feeling.
But for unknown reasons, tiny beads of sweat appeared on Lukulazia's forehead. Some of the sweat beads even flowed down her forehead, passed through her cheeks and chin, and finally dripped onto the beach, and were finally swallowed up by the ebb and flow of the cold sea water!
The next second, Lukulazia's voice, which was somewhat mature and charming, sounded in Luo Yun's ears.
"My King, Athena is approaching here!"
As Lukulacia spoke, her eyes, which had been glowing, began to return to normal.
Lukulacia stopped using her clairvoyance.
The reason why Luklacia activated her clairvoyance was that at noon, Luo Yun opened the wooden box used to temporarily seal the cursed energy fluctuations released by the "Gorgon Stone", allowing Athena, who was originally in Milan, to perceive the exact location of the "Gorgon Stone".
Of course, Luo Yun opened the wooden box to expose the location of the "Gorgon Stone" on purpose!
Later, due to the appearance of the "Gorgon Stone", Liliana and Luklacia's spiritual vision was activated involuntarily. They sensed the existence of Athena and received the news that she was coming here!
Then, in order to show off in front of Luo Yun, the two of them adopted the method of drawing lots, but how could the young Liliana possibly beat the already adult Lukulacia?
This was not a big problem so Luo Yun didn't care about it and didn't remind Liliana!
So after using some tricks, Lukulacia successfully drew the "best lot", and the task of using psychic vision to spy on Athena was given to Lukulacia.
"Well, thank you for your hard work!"
A handkerchief appeared from somewhere, and Luo Yun carefully wiped the sweat off Lukulazia's forehead.
After all, Luklacia is not only his female companion, but also enables him to use his psychic vision to monitor the movements of the God of Disobedience under the pressure of the God of Disobedience's powerful curse, so it is not wrong to reward her a little.
Although he had the power of [Youth] to bless him, Luklacia would not be easily backlashed as before after activating his clairvoyance, but he still had to endure the pressure caused by the huge cursed power released invisibly by the God of Disobedience.
And this is why sweat appears on Lukulazia’s forehead!
After wiping the sweat, Lukulazia naturally took the handkerchief from Luo Yun.
Then Luo Yun looked at the four girls who were still pouring cold sea water on each other and playing with each other, and clapped his hands.
The girls' happy playing time was interrupted by Luo Yun's clapping!
After understanding what Luo Yun meant, Ariana and Kallen came to Lukulazia, supported her, and left the beach.
Erica and Liliana stayed behind. After all, after being blessed by the power of [Boy], the two girls' strength had surpassed that of the Great Knight and they were able to wrestle with the divine beasts. In addition, the words that the two girls learned were able to cause effective damage to the God of Disobedience.
So in Luo Yun's opinion, Erica and Liliana are already qualified to fight the God of Disobedience.
Not only that, now Athena has lost the "Gorgon Stone", causing her to lose her strength as the Queen of the Sky in her prime.
Moreover, even the hero in the original novel was able to defeat Athena in her prime with the [Sword of Words]. Luo Yun believed that he could do it too. With the addition of the 'Silver Key' that could negate power, Luo Yun believed that he could crush her; not to mention that now Athena only had the 'Athena' spirit left!
So after the two girls' repeated requests, Luo Yun agreed to their idea of helping them as much as possible on the battlefield.
As time passed, the sun sank below the sea level, the stars in the sky began to twinkle, and a bright moon hung overhead.
Then, with Luo Yun's vision that was far superior to that of ordinary people, he clearly saw a small black dot thousands of meters away from the beach.
She has a young and delicate face, fair and tender skin, a beige jacket over a white shirt, a black skirt underneath, dark blue over-the-knee socks on her legs, a pair of small leather shoes on her feet, a purple woolen hat with cat ears on her head, and short silver hair swaying in the sea breeze!
This is Athena, the goddess of disobedience. To be honest, Luo Yun is now looking forward to the complete form of Athena, because in the anime, Athena will instantly grow into the figure of a 17 or 8-year-old girl after obtaining the "Gorgon Stone".
After all, in Luo Yun's opinion, the current form of Athena has surpassed the image portrayed in the original anime.
"come yet."
Along with Luo Yun's voice, dark clouds in the sky began to gather, blocking the moonlight and starlight, and the wind began to howl, as if a storm was about to come!
This is a sign that Luo Yun’s power [Lord of the Sky] will be activated!
Immediately afterwards, dozens of lightning snakes rushed down from the dark sky and hit Athena who was walking on the sea thousands of meters away.
——————Boom, boom, boom!!!
Then, waves nearly ten meters high splashed on the sea surface, enough to swallow an ordinary person in an instant.
However, Athena in the waves was intact.
Because the moment the lightning struck Athena's head, she used her magical power to form a defense and block the lightning.
After the first attack failed, Luo Yun stopped attacking and instead quietly watched Athena coming over on the waves.
Maybe it was because they were getting closer to the Gorgon Stone, but Luo Yun felt that Athena was getting faster and faster.
In less than five seconds, Athena appeared on the beach.
"Nice to meet you, God Slayer!"
.
Chapter 45 Athena is coming! (Please give me flowers! Please give me votes!)
Death, darkness, snakes - with Luo Yun's keen perception as a godslayer, an ancient breath came over him. This was a god that was older and more powerful than the god of war Veleslana and the god-king of the Mediterranean, Mekal!
"I came here following the guidance of the ancient [Snake]. Please return the [Snake] to me!"
As the god in charge of wisdom, Athena was different from the brutal god of war or the barbaric Mediterranean god king. She did not start a war as soon as they met. Instead, she greeted Luo Yun politely.
But when facing her mortal enemy, the God Slayer, Athena's courtesy ended there, and she still exuded "malice" and a strong "will to fight"!
Following Athena's instructions, Luo Yun took out the "Gorgon Stone" from his trouser pocket.
Luo Yun held the palm-sized obsidian slab in his hand and shook it up and down, while Athena, who was sitting opposite Luo Yun, had dark eyes like an owl or a snake and shook up and down along with the "Gorgon Stone" in Luo Yun's hand.
Half a minute later, Athena realized that Luo Yun was teasing her, and finally couldn't help it. She said in a cute but not majestic voice like a girl: "Stop teasing me, God Slayer!"
"If you don't want to return the snake to me, just tell me straight away. Why are you trying to fool me like this?"
After hearing what Athena said, Luo Yun immediately retorted: "Ms. Athena, the Gorgon Stone is my property now. Do you intend to take the Gorgon Stone away from me without paying any price?"
"cost?"
Athena first tilted her little head cutely, and then she understood Luo Yun's purpose.
It turned out that the godslayer in front of him wanted him to exchange the [Snake] in his hand through "barter"!
"But I don't have anything that can be exchanged with you, God Slayer. Even if you want my power, you can only usurp it when I am fully restored!"
Athena's general meaning was that I have nothing that I can exchange with you for the Gorgon Stone. Even if you want my power, you can only return the Gorgon Stone to me, and then I will become the Trinity and fight with me. When you defeat me, my power will be yours.
In other words, Athena wants to get the "Gorgon Stone" in Luo Yun's hand for free!
This is Athena's conspiracy!
After all, if you want to usurp the power of the God of Disobedience, the God of Disobedience must be complete. Otherwise, even if you kill the God of Disobedience, the "Usurpation Exchange" will not be activated, and you will not get the power!
Of course, if it was a different godslayer, Athena’s plan might have succeeded.
But unfortunately, there is no if, so...
"No, Miss Athena, you have something else you can exchange for the Gorgon Stone in my hand!"
The look in Luo Yun's eyes as he looked directly at Athena's face told her what Luo Yun wanted.
"I see. Are you attracted by my appearance?"
"No matter when, no matter who, a hero always needs the company of a beauty!"
Looking at Erica and Liliana behind Luo Yun, Athena said something incomprehensible.
"But, God Slayer, from ancient times to the present, beauty has always been a deadly poison that threatens the lives of heroes!"
While Athena was speaking, several huge snakes quietly rose up from the beach where Luo Yun was born.
"Steel Lion and the ancestor, the Lionheart King, please listen to the oath of Knight Erica Bluetree. I am the heir of the Horned Flute, the descendant of the Black Warrior. My heart will not yield, and my sword will never break. O Lionheart King, the essence of the struggle is now revealed in my hands - Reinhardt!"
"My wings become the steel of phantom blades, ILMestro, grant me strength!"
When these giant snakes rose up and wanted to attack Luo Yun, Erica and Liliana behind Luo Yun used their spiritual words to kill them and turned into sand again!
"Oh, thunder, turn into a sharp blade and kill my powerful enemy!"
Invisible cursed power began to surge under the words, thunder roared in the clouds gathered in the sky, and lightning snakes kept flashing!
------boom!!!
Dozens of lightning snakes were roaring and swimming in the sky, and finally, at Luo Yun's call, they rushed towards Athena!
His wrath rained down from the sky once again!
However......
"It's Thunder again! It really brings back unpleasant memories for me!"
Athena simply stretched out her delicate palm and caught Luo Yun's thunder.
Although Athena's beautiful white little hand turned black after catching the thunder, in the blink of an eye, Athena's palm returned to its original state!
“Is it based on the principle of [snakes] shedding their skin?”
Luo Yun muttered to himself as he looked at the new growth on Athena's originally charred hands.
In the worldview of the God Slayer, Athena has multiple identities, and Earth Mother is really one of Athena's identities. Moreover, Earth Mother represents dragons and snakes, so Athena also has the essence of [snake]!
However, snakes in nature will constantly shed their skin, hibernate and wake up, so snakes are in a cycle of immortality and rebirth, and life and death are the embodiment of the power of the underworld!
