The Great Demon King

Chapter 431 Libra
"It's magnificent, isn't it?" The man asked lightly, the facial features on his face began to blur, like ice cream under the scorching sun, slowly melting.

Athena nodded without making a sound.

Because even she was about to vomit - the man's face was rotting, and then his whole body, emitting bursts of stench. If she didn't want to get more information, she would have been hiding far away .

"It can be seen that you are very curious. You have followed me so far along the way, so I will send you a kind heart and tell you a secret." The man's body was like a highly corrupted banana, and he continued: "Come closer, I will My vocal cords are about to rot."

Athena got closer as she said, but because of her disgust, she didn't really get too close.

"The secret is..." The man's deep and hoarse voice reached Athena's ears, before he could finish speaking, a strong force suddenly pushed her on the back, pushing her directly off the high platform!
A tremendous gravitational force came from the 9 connected planets below. She summoned up the monster power in her body and formed wings tens of meters long, but she was completely unable to stop herself from falling like a mayfly shaking a big tree.

In the process of rolling and falling, she caught a glimpse of the rotten man standing on the edge of the high platform. The man had indeed rotted into a pile of flesh, and behind the place where Athena stood just now stood a majestic man. A scary giant about 5 meters tall!
This guy looks like an enlarged version of the Hulk.

There is still a small amount of rotten flesh on this Hulk's body, it is almost certain that he got out of that rotten man's body!
In other words, it was not the process of body corruption just now, but the process of his transformation.

No wonder this guy is so interested in Bruce Banner, always asking him how his transformation is going, it turns out he has such a deep connection with the Hulk.

What is the origin?Why is there such an enlarged version of the "Hulk" in this [under everything] world?

That Hulk who is called Hulk...isn't it unique?
"This damn guy..." Athena gritted her teeth and accelerated her fall, cursing the transformed man in her heart.

Of course, the curse belongs to the curse, and it is necessary to send a spiritual signal to Qian Song for help.

..............................

Athena thought that her fall would pass through the atmosphere of one of those ring-shaped hell planets like a crashed spaceship, and then fall to the ground like a meteorite.

But the reality was quite different from her imagination—she only saw when she fell near the circle of planets on the top layer. These things that looked like planets were closely connected like rosary beads. pipes connected together.

The energy in this pipeline surges and collides continuously, it is simply a particle collider magnified countless times!
Before Athena had time to take a closer look, she had already fallen within the range of influence of this string of "rosary beads".

She only felt that the space and time around her suddenly became bizarre, and after a few seconds, she "arrived" on a desolate flat land.

Then, she found herself transformed into a spider.

In front of her, there was a spider web hanging quietly. Under the spider web, there was a red-burning brazier. Because of the heat of the brazier, the spider web kept melting and breaking. The spider wanted to save its life and not fall down. Burned to death by the brazier, he had no choice but to spin silk and weave webs non-stop.

In just a moment, Athena understood what the scene she was experiencing was, and it was simple to say:
A long time ago, there was a young girl named Arachne, who came from humble beginnings, but was famous throughout Lydia for her exquisite weaving skills. Even the nearby nymphs often came to admire her weaving works.

She can weave the most beautiful sky, the most violent ocean, the most delicious flowers, the most delicate characters...

One day, this proud girl with unique skills challenged Athena loudly, because in addition to the title of "Goddess of Wisdom", Athena also had the title of "Goddess of Textile".

Athena is a goddess. Compared with human beings, she naturally thinks highly of herself. After warning the presumptuous challenger with miracles, Athena accepted the challenge after the results were invalid.

Athena wove the story of her rivalry with Poseidon for the protection of Athens against the backdrop of the majestic Acropolis, surrounded by four tales of the gods punishing mortals who dared to challenge them.

Arachne, on the contrary, weaves the stories of the disgraceful affairs of the gods, how the great gods disguised themselves to seduce goddesses and mortal women.

Arachne's work was so incomparable that even Athena herself could hardly fault it, even doubting inwardly that she could weave such a fine work.

Frustrated by being compared to others, coupled with the cynicism of the gods in Arachne's works, Athena was outraged.

She tore the tapestry of scandalous deeds of the gods into pieces, and repeatedly struck Arachne's face with a boxwood shuttle, making the beautiful girl as ugly as a toad.

Arachne couldn't bear such humiliation, and hanged herself in public.

How could Athena let her die so easily?She turned the girl into a spider, and turned the rope the girl used to hang herself into spider silk, and then placed a huge copper brazier under the spider and the spider silk.

The girl who turned into a spider has naturally been stripped of all human pride and courage, and now she is just a little spider full of desire to survive.

In order not to be burned to death by the brazier, she had no choice but to keep spinning and weaving webs for eternity, so as not to fall into the "hell of fire".

For Athena, such a violent reaction may be out of dignity as a god, or out of jealousy of mortal skills.

In any case, it is clear that the tragedy of Arachne was not that she was "superior in skill," but that she, like the god-challenging mortals on Athena's textiles, was severely punished for impiety—for She neither respected the flamboyant, immoral gods nor Athena, who loved the most face.

........................

By the time Athena came back from her distant memory, the brazier beneath her had disappeared.

Instead, there is something like a scale.

She was thrown on a tray in the form of a spider.

The readings on the scales showed that the dark value she weighed this time was 35.

"Di~"

After a sharp beep, Athena returned to her human form, and this time, she came to a glorious temple.

Instead of turning back into herself, she turned into a beautiful priest.

And it is she, the goddess of wisdom, Athena who the priest is worshiping.

A sea breeze with a fishy smell blew in from outside the temple.

Along with the sea breeze, there is also a tall and strong male god.

The male god suddenly hugged the priestess from behind, and then said in her ear with an evil face:

"Don't resist, Medusa!"
