Holy Right : A Multiverse Occultist

Roy felt the diminutive pain on the back of his hand, and traces of blood flowed down the corners her lips, making her face more wildishly elegant, a rather strange combination indeed but very fitting to describe the goddess's demeanour.

"Are you now even a vampire or something?"

Athena didn't respond but he found divine power running along Athena's lips, pouring into his body from the bite on the back of his hand. He was very familiar with this divine power. 

It held exactly the same divine power fluctuations exuded by the Gorgon Stone previously.

Slowly, Athena released her grasp, Roy raised his hand to his eye level, looking at the row of tooth marks and the contusions on the back of his hand, and then glanced at Athena.

"This is a contract, the connection between us. From now on, this honorable goddess's fate will be interrelated with Roy 'Mrkl' Crowley, the Demon King on Earth, who has been authenticated by this goddess."

"This maybe your luck or your misfortune, for now even death cannot break off our link apart, even if you fall into the underworld, you will find this queen there, staring at you in the quiet wilderness as you carry on to become the demon king in the realm of death."

"Human, we hope you keep up with your promise with this goddess, to burn the 'steel' and cut off the 'last steel'. If you dare to abandon the agreement with this goddess, we swear, even if you hide in the underworld, this goddess will definitely take your life!"

Athena's lips were stained with Roy's blood, she looked as gorgeous as a rose, though the one with thorns. 

Her expression was arrogant, her voice brisk, and her majestic appearance full of sonority and charm.

Even if she becomes his possession, becomes his subordinate, the goddess's words and tone are more like speaking to her vassal, showcasing her stubbornness and self-esteem even in disadvantage.

However, he will still give her this little face. If he still refutes a defeated woman her own pride, it's not about a man's dignity, but a straight steel rigid man beyond redemption, even the god can't help those.

"I will abide by our agreement until death separates us, no, it should even if death seperates us our bond will last beyond, my beautiful lady!"

Roy put one hand on his chest and bowed gracefully like a gentleman with a amused chuckle.

Athena's awe-inspiring expression gradually became softer, her eyes narrowed contently, as she hummed: 

"If this goddess let's you die under her protection, isn't it a sign of our powerlessness? This goddess won't let you die. Even if you really fall into the underworld, this queen of death will search and bring you back, Roy Crowley."

While she spoke, Athena's body began to shrink, and it didn't take long for her perky and bountiful mountains with a deep alluring gully to turn into a flat airport, and what was left was the old and familiar tsundere loli.

"This goddess has placed the essence of Gorgon Stone into your body. That is the fate and beacon between you and this goddess. It is also a kind of Authority weaved by the wisdom of this goddess."

"As long as you need our help, you can use the Gorgon Stone to summon this goddess by your side and restore this goddess's body to the state of Trinity!"

"But, be informed, this goddess will only fight for you against the Gods of Steel and maybe even against the Gods of Light, but for the compatriots who are the same Earth Mother Goddess like this goddess, this goddess will not help you against them."

Athena's delicate voice gradually weakened. As she was deprived of any minute chance of victory under the brightness of victory, she had already completely lost her mobility, and even her energy and stamina had almost nothing left.

"That much is enough, Athena. My real enemy is the steel, the Strongest Steel!"

Roy clenched his fist and sensed the divine origin of Athena in his body, it was under his control, no other will was hidden intermixed, like Athena said it felt almost like a new Divine Authority. 

Gorgon Stone is Athena's origin and her identity as the Earth Mother Goddess as well as Medusa, and so the half of her body, and now Athena gave her power and godhood to him for safekeeping.

This tsundere goddess is really arrogant and likeable at the same time. 

If his behavior touched her bottom line, Athena will probably tear up the treaty without hesitation, but as long as his actions are still within her bottom line, she will do her best to fulfill it.

Roy knew that by giving her power to him, she was showing her trust, driven by the common enemy and her hatred, to face the 'end' together.

"This power will be named as <Athena's Trust>."

He thought of a random but symbolic name on the spot. Anyways, power has no relationship with name itself, it's just the godslayer themselveses or the old geezers and idlers at Greenwich who name the power. 

Although, Athena said that she would not help him against the Earth Mother Goddess, but Roy knew that some things couldn't be taken at face value. 

The Goddesses of Earth have a good emblematic relationship with Athena, however, a considerable part of these goddess are probably not liked by Athena. 

The character all gods and goddess are mainly self-centered and willful so clash is not rare, in fact, it's very normal.

Moreover, Roy's affinity with the Mother Earth Goddesses is not very good. Even if the he kills one, he will not be able to do a complete proper fusion of the spiritual foundation. 

For Roy, only the Heretic Gods who have the characteristics of "steel", "victory", "light", "sun", or something similar are his prime targets. The targets he has coincides with Athena's hatred or indifference.

Moreover, with Athena in his alley, he can finally be sure that apart from the 'King Of The End', there is no other godslayer or Heretic God in this world who can defeat or kill him. 

Even if five of the remaining five godslayers besieged on him together, Roy was completely fearless now.

"This goddess's body is also a little tired... take me... tugaether wuth yaa..."

Athena's eyelids turned heavy as her eyes lost focus and timely slipped into the firm arms. 

"Already asleep?"

Roy looked at Athena's face who was lying in his arms and was breathing peacefully. 

"No precautions against a Demon King you berated so much? Exactly how much do you trust me?"

Roy touched his face. Is it because of his 'Face of God', it is easy for other people to trust him, or is it because he is himself a person who is easy for people to trust?

Roy exhaled, and carefully and tenderly picked up the once again lolified goddess in a princess's carry.

Athena shivered in her sleep, like a harmless white kitten. Those slender, snow-white hands grabbed Roy's blood-stained robe as she curled up in his arms, burying her delicate face onto his chest. 

"Looking at it this way, this goddess is actually pretty cute. Just sometimes being too stubborn and control obsessive."

With a chuckle, Roy carried Athena on his back and marched back towards the same direction they came from. 

The power of the <Prince of Blazing Light> has reached the time limit today, and his stamina and mana pool exhausted from defending against the 'Black Sword' and then by summoning the <Hand of Almighty>, so he could only manually walk back like a normal human.

It's just that it didn't take him to go far, when he felt a wave of magical fluctuations. In the sky, two familiar blonde and silver figures were rushing with flying magic, their expression was abnormally anxious.

Swish-! Swish-! 

Spotting him, the two knight girls both looked overjoyed and swiftly landed infront of him. 

""!""

His bloodied figure make then wide eyed. Erica quickly supported Roy's body, while Liliana forgetting all about the extensive magic resistance a Campione has, because of hurried anxiousness, hastily started to used all of the healing spells in her arsenal all together at once.

"Didn't I told you two to stay in the mansion and not come out?"

Although Roy looked dissatisfied, his tone was not harsh but more with the undertones of helplessness.

"King, Lily and I were so worried about your safety that we came here disregarding your orders, it's our fault. But for now please let us do our duty."

Erica adamantly held his hand, her tone was telling that she would not leave even if he asked her to. 

"Haash! Forget it, I don't know how to reason with two stubborn iron headed girls. Leave it Lily, magic will not work one me, my body will recover on it's own."

Roy interrupted Liliana's act of wasting her magical energy and motioned with his chin, "Now that you two are already here, call a helicopter over to take us back."

"As you say, my king."

The resolute Erica still held onto his arm and drew out a mobile phone from between the gully of the perky mountains and called on to the mages under her. 

'The magicians of this world are much cuter than the Type-Moon world. Fortunately, not damn crazy or something about using technology products.'

Roy thought as he looked at the clear sky devoid of clouds.
