Chapter 169 - Ethan's Grief

Atena, Hera, Aphrodite, and Freya, the undead goddesses who had stayed by Ethan's side, moved in unison, raising their weapons and positioning themselves between him and the remaining criminal gods led by an enraged Izanur. There were no orders from Ethan to protect him this time, but the pain they saw on his face, and the weight of his sorrow, were reason enough for them to defend him. Yahweh, seeing the situation, also joined the group, raising a barrier of energy that enveloped Ethan and Neith as he processed the devastating loss.
