Chapter 976 - 976 407 Contention

Chapter 976: Chapter 407: Contention Chapter 976: Chapter 407: Contention “Alright, the incident is over, and in the end, we weren’t able to lend much help. The Ancient Evil Being still attacked the seal, fortunately without more serious consequences occurring.”

“However, although the Omen of Death Star might not be dead, it’s certainly crippled, but the influence it has caused is likely a long-lasting disaster. You guys probably have your hands full now… Heracles, hurry up and wrap up whatever you need to do, I fear it won’t be long before things get busy around here.”

Shaking his head with a smile, Ande did not truly care much about the shock brought by the Ancient Evil Being.

After all, the Barrier had not yet crumbled, and to him, that was already sufficient.

“By the way, Nikki, do you have any thoughts about that guy called Perseus over there? Speaking of which, he actually seems quite capable—you see, before even the incident is over, he’s already figured out how to handle it.”

“Hmph, I know, I heard what he’s saying!”

“There’s a conflict between you two, huh? The descendants of Zeus are all like this… Well, then you all go resolve it on your own.”

With a snort, the Divine Artifact vibrated slightly. A sharpness flickered at its tip, as if it wanted to poke a hole in the body of the Son of the Divine King over there, but after hesitating for a moment, Nikki still gave up on this tempting idea.

Although she had long found Perseus disagreeable—a human hero who came to deal with the Heroic Spirits, yet neglecting his proper duties day after day.

In the past, they nevertheless managed to perform their primary roles to some extent, and considering the various support that the Olympus line provided to the Hall of Valor in the Mortal Realm, she had been lenient and let it slide.

But what Nikki did not expect at all was that now even in the guardianship of the Star Domain, Perseus dared to be so neglectful of his duty.

If the Heroic Spirit Guard stationed on the edge of the Star Domain had issued a warning earlier, she would’ve had time to arrive first and construct a stronger barricade around the Hall of Valor to prevent the intrusion of the Ancient Evil Being, rather than discovering it too late and watching the Omen of Death Star approach the Barrier first-hand.

Misusing public resources and failing to prioritize properly; if it had been someone else who made such a mistake, Nikki would’ve already thrust her spear into them, even erasing their soul imprints from the Hall of Valor. However, now the one causing the consequences is Perseus… so despite her discomfort, Nikki did not punish him directly.

‘It’s so annoying… but after all, I’m just a weapon.’

‘Even if we have to execute the Son of the God-King, it should be Athena who issues the order. But then again, it seems they have been fighting amongst themselves before, so if that’s the case…’

The Divine Artifact chimed softly, tracing an arc in mid-air, and Nikki felt a bit uncomfortable. She circled around Heracles and made a silent decision in her heart.

“The conflicts between you have nothing to do with me, after all, Heroic Spirits can’t die.”

“However, due to Perseus’s mistakes, as the custodian of the [Hall of Valor], I temporarily strip him of the right to use [Perseus].”

“Alright, I’m off to check the Barrier. Anyway, you are all sons of Zeus, no matter how you fight amongst yourselves, he can hardly say anything wrong about it.”

Having made her decision, the Spear of Voktor sounded again, this time with a much lighter tone.

Nikki immediately transformed into a streak of light, heading towards the vicinity of the shattered Brown Star.

“Taking away the right to use [Perseus], huh? That’s not a bad move. Without that Divine Armor, Perseus is no match for you.”

Watching Nikki’s departing figure, the marionette nodded. It seems, just as he thought, this weapon girl under the command of the Goddess of Wisdom has no particular affection towards Olympus.

“How about it, have you figured out how to deal with them?”

“Of course.”

“We have no personal grievances, but he once persecuted a Goddess in the Mortal Realm who had done no wrong, and later sent his minions to trouble me. These numerous matters are indeed the grudges he has created with his own hands.”

“In that case, let him become a true Heroic Spirit. Even though Heroic Spirits don’t die, he no longer needs to keep the status of a Mortal Demigod.”

Without the Divine Armor [Perseus], Perseus’s strength was no longer capable of stopping him, so Heracles plainly expressed his intentions.

As a Son of the God-King, the other was one of the few granted eternal life as a Heroic Spirit while still alive, and that is also why he’s not completely controlled by the [Hall of Valor], still relying on perhaps even greater power.

And even now, he has not given up on this idea, using the Divine Power that had not yet dissipated from his body, the Great Hero like Ande and Nikki had been able to hear the noises over there.

At this moment, Perseus was currently looking for a culprit for this sudden calamity, utterly unsuspecting that this ‘outsider’ who ‘attacked’ the patrolling troops and then ‘took the opportunity to strike’ was the perfect scapegoat.

Heracles didn’t care whether he was blamed or not, but his antipathy towards the other’s attitude was indeed growing.

Heroes from myth are just like this… The Great Hero decided to destroy the other’s physical body, making him a true Heroic Spirit, henceforth dedicated to exterminating Evil Creatures, rather than committing more mistakes for his own purposes.

“By the way, Lord Ande.”

Perseus was not a difficult opponent, but before taking action, Heracles seemed to remember something.

He hadn’t yet had time to examine that streak of light that flew towards him; that halo seemed to have entered a relic left by some Demon, and it was unknown what it had become now…
