Chapter 361: Against The God of Thunder
Happy Reading~
===========
Athena couldn’t help being surprised. She saw Noah successfully reach the 2nd Sequence God.
Athena knew it was impossible for a new god to reach the 2nd Sequence God, but Noah showed her what he did.
Athena held back her surprise; she had no intention of drowning in awe.
Persephone was pleased to see Athena surprised; she knew it was impossible for her friend not to show her admiration.
Persephone nodded happily; she didn’t forget to endlessly praise Noah’s figure.
“How? Are you going to change your mind now? You could just give him your virginity.”
Athena was lost in thought; she now wanted to think again about Persephone’s offer.
Athena now knew Noah was talented; he was completely different from the other true gods.
Athena swallowed her saliva; she didn’t think she should give her virginity to someone else.
Athena was one of the three virgin goddesses; she was different from those bitches.
Athena closed her eyes; she chose not to think about the issue of her virginity.
“I’m sorry, Persephone, but I can’t accept it. I have sworn not to have relations with other men.”
Persephone sighed; she knew Athena couldn’t accept her invitation.
Persephone could only nod; she no longer intended to ask about her wishes.
Persephone initially wanted to see Noah, but she felt several powerful presences surrounding Athena’s temple.
“Brat! Get out! Your business with me is still not finished!”
“A Norse Gods? What are they doing?! Thor, that guy dared to enter my territory.” Athena bit her lip. She remembered the figure of a white-haired man.
Athena was angry to see the man; she didn’t expect him to dare to enter her own territory.
Suddenly, Noah’s voice appeared; it was a voice that showed his leadership spirit.
Noah’s figure was visible in the sky; he was now looking at Thor with a sharp gaze.
Thor didn’t open his mouth, but his expression showed he was very surprised.
“2nd Sequence God? You’ve broken through? How is that possible?! You’ve only reached deification for 6 years! This is impossible!”
Noah grinned a little; he thought it was impossible for Thor not to show his surprise.
Noah slightly closed his eyes; he didn’t forget to show his strength towards Thor.
“You remember this well, Thor. Since you dare to fight me, don’t think you can win against me. I will defeat you and destroy you.”
Thor gritted his teeth; he didn’t seem to believe Noah’s words.
Thor looked behind him, and he saw several of his subordinates following him.
Pondering for a moment, Thor decided to order his subordinates to attack Noah.
“Attack him! Don’t let him escape! This time we must kill him!”
“Understood.” Thor’s subordinates created their lightning element; it looked as if they were the lightning element itself.
Thor’s subordinates turned into light speed; they didn’t seem like they would let Noah catch them.
Noah didn’t show any reaction; his eyes were only focused on Thor.
[Be careful, master, your enemy is the 1st Sequence God. The system wishes you the best.]
Noah took a breath. He looked like he would immediately prepare to repel the attack from Thor’s subordinates.
For a few seconds, Noah was seen waving his hands to various sides; not long after that, the figures of Thor’s subordinates fell from their places.
Thor was shocked. He asked how Noah could take down dozens of his subordinates?
“How is that possible?! They’re the 3rd Sequence God! There’s no way you can take them down so easily!”
Noah just stretched his shoulders; he now ignored Thor’s question.
Noah initially wanted to continue his attack, but he saw Athena and Persephone appear in front of him.
“Thor! Damn the God of Thunder! You are so brave to intrude into my territory!”
Thor furrowed his brows. He realized who the blonde woman was; she was Athena.
Thor clicked his tongue; he really didn’t expect to be fighting Athena tens of thousands of times.
Thor remembered that Athena was the Goddess of War; it wasn’t strange that he and Athena would fight on the battlefield for a long time.
Thor snorted heavily; he didn’t seem to want to waste his time delaying what was happening.
“Let’s finish everything. I don’t have time to take care of you; my goal is that boy.”
Athena ignored Thor’s words; she looked angry to see Thor entering her territory.
“Don’t be kidding! You dare to intrude into my territory, and you say I have nothing to do with this?”
Thor rubbed his head. He asked if Athena was a stupid goddess.
Thor wanted to be angry, but he remembered that Athena was a woman who was crazy about war.
Thor stared slightly at Noah. He hoped Noah could open his mouth.
“Brat, you better explain. You should know who started it first.”
Noah didn’t say a word; he seemed to be floating in front of Persephone and Athena.
Noah held Athena back from attacking. He was seen stretching his hand to the side.
“I am the enemy, I don’t want you guys to interfere in this fight. You just need to watch.”
Athena wanted to refuse, but she saw Noah showing a serious look.
“Don’t bother me. The Goddess of War, I will take care of this matter. You have helped me so much, I will, of course, do it happily.”
Athena took a deep breath; she seemed unable to do what she wanted.
Athena knew Noah was serious; he wanted to fight Thor with both hands.
’The 1st Sequence God… Is he serious about fighting against him? He’s crazy…’
Athena didn’t say a word; she let Noah fight against Thor.
Athena glanced at Persephone. She initially thought Persephone would show her concern.
Athena knew Persephone was very possessive of her lover, but she now seemed to believe it.
’Something’s changed… if it was the old her, I don’t think she would be able to show her calm demeanor.’
Persephone didn’t react; she seemed to want to watch Noah’s progress.
Persephone saw that Noah’s power was very strong; he was different from himself as the 3rd Sequence God.
’I hope you win… Don’t lose heart, I will help you if you’re in trouble.’
As time went by, Noah and Thor began to make their moves. Not long after that, attacks from both of them were launched.
Thor felt that Noah’s attack was heavy; he was much stronger than he had imagined.
Thor held back his awe; he didn’t want to lower his guard in fighting against Noah.
Thor saw Noah relentlessly launch his weapon; he could only assume a defensive position.
Thor gritted his teeth. He asked whether Noah was really the 2nd Sequence God?
Thor remembered how he fought against Noah before; he was no different from a weak god.
But Noah is different now; he has developed into a monster in the divine realm.
’The Destruction Sword? So the sword has been in the boy’s hands all this time?’ Athena thought. She saw the sword of darkness in Noah’s hand.
Athena knew it was a terrible sword, but she tried to ignore it.
Athena saw that Thor was having trouble; she didn’t think he would be pushed so far.
“Strong… he is truly strong… his strength is not lower than the other 1st Sequence God.”
Persephone nodded happily, she was happy to hear Athena praising her pity.
Persephone touched Athena’s shoulder slightly; she hoped that Athena would think about her offer again.
“If you’re amazed, how about you go with him? You can get what you want if you’re with him.”
Athena closed her eyes; she didn’t forget to remove Persephone’s hand from her shoulder.
Athena was angry seeing Persephone teasing her; she didn’t expect her to force her so much.
“Stop that. I won’t accept your offer. I just want to live like this.”
“Ck… don’t be so aloof, you’ll just be a lonely old granny. I’m doing this for your future, right, sister?”
Athena shook her head. She wished she could throw Persephone away from her.
She was angry seeing Persephone relentlessly persuading her; she didn’t want to think about it a second time.
Persephone didn’t want to continue her teasing; she looked back at Noah and Thor’s fight.
Persephone couldn’t help being amazed. She saw Noah manage to injure Thor with his usual form.
“As expected! I knew he would definitely win!”
Thor endured the pain, and he saw that the edge of his stomach had a deep wound.
Thor tried to cover his wounds, but he saw that his soul had suffered its wounds.
“I was careless… I shouldn’t have underestimated you. Noah, you’re an anomaly that shouldn’t exist in the world. You are part of the mistake,” cursed Thor. He had no intention of holding back his power this time.
Thor knows Noah is strong; he doesn’t want him to lose in Noah’s hands.
Thor closed his eyes, not long after the power of the 1st Sequence God struck his body.
Thor saw the sky above him change; several white lightning bolts struck until they reached the vast land.
Athena held back her irritation; she was now trying to protect her current territory.
Athena looked at Noah. She thought about whether Noah could survive the power of the 1st Sequence God.
Athena hopes that Noah can win his fight; she wants to see whether he is an extraordinary man or not.
Noah didn’t show any reaction; he had been waiting for the moment when Thor would show his full strength.
Noah narrowed his eyes; he was now staring at the essence of Thor’s power.
’I see… is this what is called the 1st Sequence God? They are very different from other gods.’ Noah thought. He wanted to know what Thor’s pure essence was.
Noah realized it was the 1st Sequence of God’s essence; he felt it was a terrifying essence.
