Sasha flicked her spear to remove the blood on it.
Then she looked at the huge door to enter the second general's palace. When she was about to step through it, a bright blue light beam appeared on the sky.
The symbol of Athena, the shield of Aeges appeared at the sky which emanated the powerful aura of a goddess. The surroundings became heavy with invisible force and the pressure was enough to crush a person who didn't have cosmic energy flowing inside them.
" Now that's enough my daughter!" A deep female voice erupted from the energy beam. With that deep voice the pressure increased several times causing some of the chosen to vomit blood.
And then she appeared.
" It's really her! Our goddess!"
Right now she was wearing a full armour which covered almost all of her body parts. She was wielding a long gigantic spear and the shield of Aeges, which contained Medusa's head on it. It was obvious that she had come prepared for a war. Her whole body was emanating immense ancient bright blue energy and she was exposing all of her divine wings which were only a pair. The count of wings on a god's body showed the prowess of the particular god. While the lowest ranked gods didn't have any wings the highest ranked gods had three pair of wings.
" Is it true, that you made a plan to kill me?" Sasha who was not intimidated by her appearance asked in an indifferent tone.
" Whether it's true or not, do I have to answer you. A god who lived for at least a few millennia? Do I look that easy for you?" Athena bellowed.
" So, it's true. Then, I have to thank you for removing my attachment to this place! I really appreciate it!" Sasha calmly replied.
" What bullshit are you talking about? Before I tear your body into million pieces get your ass out from here!" Athena yelled.
" Yeah I will! But I don't know what my boss thinks about this. So, I have to wait until he gives me orders." And with that she looked at the cab which had been parked there since the beginning.
Luke who were watching this scene with Nyx, pondered for a few seconds and then said, ' Well go ahead and take your revenge. It's better to understand and get a grasp on your powers. Good luck' via telepathy.
After hearing this, her face became so brightened as if a little girl was given an ice cream to taste. She shot towards the sky and appeared right in front of Athena.
" What you are going to let her fight with Athena? Are you crazy? She is not just like anyone! She is a goddess!" Nyx exclaimed.
" Ah, Sasha is also not just someone! She is the phoenix! My first soldier!"
" Why do you trust her so much!"
" It's because, she can be trusted that much!"
" Hmph!"
" Just relax and watch. I think today will become a historical day for humans!"
" Too bad. I have orders to kill you! And I'm afraid I can't betray him." Sasha said with a mocking tone.
" Who is your so-called boss? Where is he?"
" That, you don't need to know, because you are going to die. What can a dying person do with that kind of information."
" You ungrateful bitch! Can't you remember who made you in to this?"
" Well, I actually remember everything, and according to my memory there was no you in that! It's just me!"
Athena's face became so ugly that all the people who saw her face began to shiver from fear.
" It seems that you are tired of your life." With that her eye colour got changed. They became pure blue coloured from the overflowing divine cosmic energy.
Without a warning, she targeted her spear to Sasha and a beam of blue cosmic energy shot out from the tip of it. Sasha easily dodged and after closing the distance between her and Athena in an instant, she stabbed her with all her strength.
In response to that, Athena just raised her shield, Aeges and Sasha's attack was easily neutralized and moreover she was flown back because of the shield's special effect, ' Repel', the ability to absorb one's attack and force it against them with doubled power.
" With that little strength of yours, you want to defeat me? You are too early to hope something like that!"
" I didn't even start!"
With that more power began to flow out from her body. She established her domain, Tome of Time once again. Then she suddenly disappeared appeared right above Athena's head while she was slashing her spear's side blades towards her.
But before the blade could touch her, she disappeared in to the thin air, and in an instant she appeared just behind Sasha who had been still landing her attack!
Athena kicked her right at her abdomen.
Sasha crashed at the speed of lightning. Even though she covered her most vital body parts just a moment before the attack landed on her, she still got some damage. If she couldn't form an energy shield from her cosmic energy she was sure that she would long be dead.
" Even though, you can manipulate time, you can't oppose a god's power just with that!"
" I get that you are strong but I don't think you are invincible." With that she closed her eyes.
At first, there wasn't any noticeable change. But after a few seconds, a beam of red energy descended on her from the heavens. The whole sky was painted with the symbol of the god of origin, the infinity mark in a triangle. For a moment she couldn't be seen in that blinding red light. After the energy beam disappeared everyone could see a whole different Sasha.
She was still closing her eyes. Her hair had now gone red coloured. Even her eyebrows, her lips her armour had become blood red. There was a ring of energy behind her along with two divine red coloured wings. Yes, she was a goddess!
Seeing that new appearance Athena was shaken to her soul. Her mouth was half opened with shock.
After a few seconds, Sasha opened her eyes. The moment she showed her red eyes with red pupils to the world, an unbearable pressure descended to the whole Athena Base. People began spit blood in pain. Buildings began to crumble.
" How how did you become a god?" Athena stuttered.
" Honestly, even I don't know. But, I know one thing for sure. Now I can beat your ass!" With that and without any warning she appeared right behind Athena and stabbed.
Athena deflected the attack with her shield once again but this time Sasha didn't thrown back. But the clash caused an immense amount of chaotic cosmic energy to be released. With that they fought with each other for 99 exchanges. Each clash produced enough cosmic energy to destroy almost all the areas of the Temple of Athena. Their battle was completely of melee type with the use of spears. Each tried to find out the other's weakness while defending.
And in the 100th exchange, Sasha changed her pattern. After all those exchanges she understood the reason for Athena's survival was because of her shield, Aeges. She thought of a new plan.
During her fight she found out that Athena never used Aeges to cover herself from cosmic energy attacks. She only used it deflect her spear reaching her body. She knew it was a gamble but she knew that was only her chance.
" Enough! It's time to end this." Sasha screamed and distanced herself from Athena before shooting slashes of cosmic energy towards her. As usual she sent balls of blue energy which easily dissolved those red energy slashes to nothingness. And then she shot towards Athena at her full speed with her spear tip targeted towards her while rotating it along with her body. Athena raised Aeges and got ready for the oncoming attack.
The shield and the spear clashed. The impact released a deafening sound and a surge of violent cosmic energy.
" Is that all you have got? I expected more from you, Sasha!" Athena smirked.
" Well , I'm sure you are not going to like what's going to happen!"
Hearing this Athena's eyes became narrowed but it was too late.
Sasha's spear has changed to a minigun. It had at least 30 barrels.
" Good bye, bitch!" Sasha smirked.
The minigun started to release beams of cosmic energy which easily pierced Aeges and crashed on to her body. Athena screamed in pain and tried to back away but did Sasha let her do that?
Of course not, the minigun turned again to a spear and in a second she appeared behind Athena with her back turned to her. Countless red slashes appeared around her and this time she didn't even have the chance to scream.
At the tip of her spear there was a core; a core filled with cosmic energy, which had been completely destroyed by her lethal attack.
That was the core of goddess Athena.
