With the situation as it was, how could Sora hold back any longer? He activated the divine speed of the [Phoenix] authority, transforming into a fiery red stream of light and rushing towards the sky.
The other two Sun Wukongs naturally wouldn't allow it, mounting their Golden Clouds to pursue and intercept him.
"Hehehe... Goddess Metis, even your original self, Athena, is no match for Old Sun. Do you think you can stop the two of us with your power?"
Looking at Metis who had appeared to block their path, the two Sun Wukongs sneered with disdain.
Two crimson flames burned in their golden pupils. Sun Wukong's [Fiery-Eyes Golden-Gaze] could see through all illusions and essences. Naturally, he had long seen that Metis was a part of Athena that had been separated, a sort of avatar.
"Hmph, I won't let you disturb my master!"
A sharp glint flashed in her turquoise eyes. Metis snorted coldly and, brandishing the giant scythe of the Death God, charged at the two Sun Wukongs...
...
In the sky, Sun Wukong's giant hand was about to grab Athena. The furry hand, fully extended, was wider than a mountain!
Severely injured and extremely weak, Athena was unable to dodge. She could only watch as the giant hand closed in on her, a trace of despair flashing in her eyes.
However, just at that moment—
Swish...
With a sharp sound of tearing through the air, a fiery red stream of light streaked past Athena, rushing towards the giant Sun Wukokng!
"All ye who are evil, fear my power! For now, I shall gain the strength of ten mountains, the power of a hundred rivers, and the might of a thousand camels! Granting my body this strength is the seal of the ferocious Camel!"
Divine power surged. Chanting the incantation, Sora activated the authority of the [Camel]. His powerful legs, carrying an immense and sharp momentum, kicked Sun Wukong's steel-like chest.
"Sun Wukong, go to hell!!!!!"
Only he himself could bully his woman. Endless anger burned in his heart. Sora held nothing back, delivering hundreds of kicks like a pinwheel.
Boom boom boom boom boom!!!!!
A series of deafening roars, like the sound of drumming. The enraged Sora actually managed to cave in Sun Wukong's hard and thick chest!
"Ah..."
Even Sun Wukong couldn't help but scream in pain. He could no longer be bothered with chasing Goddess Athena, and his huge body tilted backward.
He had wanted to kick this damned monkey to death for a long time. He wanted to continue venting his violence on the monkey's body, but when he saw Athena on the other side, Sora unhesitatingly transformed back into a fiery red stream of light and shot towards her, catching her just before she hit the ground and pulling her into his arms.
"Kusanagi Sora, I... I..."
Her once noble and beautiful face was now extremely pale, and she was incredibly weak. There were burn marks from the Samadhi True Fire all over her body. Athena mumbled in shame and unwillingness, a sight that made Sora's heart ache.
"Don't speak!"
Sora commanded domineeringly, silencing Athena by pressing his lips to hers, continuously transferring his divine power into her body.
As the former Queen of Heaven and ruler of the Underworld, Athena was incredibly proud. This time, to be defeated so miserably by Sun Wukong was an unprecedented blow to her pride.
However, watching Sora get angry for her, worry for her, and show such a domineering yet gentle expression for her, Athena suddenly felt something deep inside her heart begin to melt.
He was still as detestable and domineering as usual, yet he gave off an unusually warm and secure feeling...
Gently closing her eyes, a faint blush appeared on her pale cheeks. Athena felt her heart being enveloped by a strange emotion, one that could only be vented slightly by responding to Sora with immense passion.
Meanwhile, the Sun Wukong who had been violently kicked to the ground by Sora began to shrink, and in the blink of an eye, he returned to his normal size.
With a carp-like leap, he flipped up from the ground. Sun Wukong grimaced and patted his chest, and the caved-in area completely recovered.
"Tsk tsk... You brat, to be able to injure my Adamantine Undead Body. You truly haven't disappointed me!"
Without much anger, Sun Wukong's face was filled with excitement, as if he had met a long-sought-after opponent.
In the myths, Sun Wukong had eaten the Peaches of Immortality, stolen the Pills of Immortality, and was then refined in the Eight Trigrams Furnace by Taishang Laojun with the Samadhi True Fire for forty-nine days. This not only gave him a pair of Fiery-Eyes Golden-Gaze but also forged for him an Adamantine Undead Body!
The [Fiery-Eyes Golden-Gaze] allowed Sun Wukong to see through all the world's illusions and perceive the essence of all things, while the [Adamantine Undead Body] gave him the attributes of a god of steel, allowing him to fight heaven and earth, immortal and indestructible!
With a wave of his hand, the Golden-Hooped Rod appeared in his grasp. Activating his authority, the [Jindouyun], Sun Wukong transformed into a golden stream of light and shot towards Sora and Athena.
Not only was the vengeful goddess Athena one to hold a grudge, but he, Sun Wukong, also held grudges! Having suffered a loss at Sora's hands, he naturally had to get his own back!
Releasing Athena's lips and seeing the extremely weak goddess regain some color, the burns on her body also healing, Sora felt a little relieved.
Sensing Sun Wukong's approaching aura, a murderous glint flashed in his eyes. Although he wanted to immediately meet the monkey for a battle of thirty thousand rounds, he looked at Athena in his arms and unhesitatingly dismissed the thought.
Activating the divine speed of the [Phoenix] again, Sora held Athena and transformed into a fiery red stream of light, shooting towards the sky.
...
"Hahaha... Boy, you can't escape!"
Chasing Sora and Athena on his Jindouyun, Sun Wukong laughed loudly.
Although the divine speed of the [Phoenix] was very fast, it was still slightly inferior to Sun Wukong's [Jindouyun]. The distance between them was constantly closing.
Clenching her teeth, her jade hands gripping Sora's arms tightly, Athena's expression darkened as she watched Sun Wukong get closer and closer.
"Kusanagi Sora, let me go."
Knowing that they would definitely be caught if this continued, and that she would become a burden to Sora, Athena sighed inwardly and said to him.
Looking down at the calm and pretending-to-be-composed Athena, Sora was both angry and amused.
Was this woman really asking him to abandon her at a time like this?
"Athena, you better remember this. You belong to me. Your body, your soul, your everything! If you want me to let you go, you can wait a lifetime!"
Sora whispered domineeringly in the goddess's ear.
He still wanted to keep this goddess around to bully and train her for a lifetime, how could he possibly let her go at a time like this!
Completely stunned, Athena stared blankly at Sora, finding herself unable to speak. Although she had the urge to bite this bastard to death, her body moved involuntarily, and she gently kissed Sora's face...
Although he had tasted every inch of this goddess's body countless times, this was the first time Athena had been so proactive. A slight curve appeared at the corner of Sora's mouth, and he suddenly felt that perhaps he should thank the damned monkey behind him.
Athena's kiss seemed to possess a magical power. Sora instantly felt his strength and energy become limitless, full of motivation.
Activating the authority of [Gale], a pair of wind wings unfolded from his back. Sora's speed increased explosively again, and in the blink of an eye, he left the pursuing Sun Wukong behind once more...
