"Tricked!"
Perseus let out a soft chuckle in his heart as he watched the sea monster leap out of the ocean and attack him, just as he had anticipated.
He had no intention of stopping the sea monster; he even put away his weapon, the Slaughter of the Undead Blade. Instead, he pulled out a goatskin bag.
He quickly emptied the miscellaneous items from the goatskin bag, then swiftly turned the bag inside out.
Just then, the sea monster was already bearing down on him. Perseus quickly dodged to the side, avoiding the monster's attack and allowing the enormous creature to fall back into the ocean.
Seeing that Perseus, after dodging its attack, still dared to fiddle with his goatskin bag in place, the sea monster's rage flared. It leaped out of the ocean again, using the single horn on its head as a spear, and lunged at Perseus.
But at this moment, Medusa on the side suddenly let out a terrifying shriek. As the shriek erupted, her physical body transformed again. Her enormous snake body began to blacken, its scales started to fall off, and the snake hair that had turned into giant snakes on her head began to die. Finally, in just a few seconds, Medusa shed all the decaying matter from her body, transforming into countless black tentacles.
These tentacles crawled on the ground, eventually arching up a massive head. A slit opened on this spherical head, and then an incredibly enormous petrifying demonic eye appeared in the very center of this head.
Without any warning, countless dense magical energies began to gather in front of this demonic eye. They converged, forming a sphere of light composed entirely of petrifying magical energy. Immediately after, this sphere of light transformed into a thick beam of light, shooting towards Perseus and the sea monster.
This beam of light clearly contained a mysterious power that forcibly transformed matter into stone, but due to the terrifying amount of magical energy, it had become a light cannon. This light cannon directly penetrated the body of the enormous whale-like sea monster, engulfing Perseus's figure within it. However, because Perseus had already wrapped himself in the inverted goatskin bag, he did not suffer any harm.
Compared to the previous magic, Noble Phantasms, or divine artifacts, this goatskin bag was the ultimate weapon he had prepared to deal with Medusa. Although the spell on this goatskin bag could only be used once, the concept it carried could directly reverse and reflect attacks.
Sure enough, just as the terrifying light cannon released by Medusa landed on Perseus, who was wrapped in the goatskin bag, an incredible thing happened. The previously unstoppable purple petrifying light cannon suddenly bounced back with Perseus as the pivot point. It once again penetrated the body of the sea monster, which had not yet completely petrified, and then the remaining power all fell upon the demonic Medusa, who had transformed into countless black tentacles.
In that instant, the demonic Medusa's body endured her strongest attack, turning into a tall and terrifying stone statue at a visible speed. And the sea monster, which had been pierced twice by the petrifying light cannon, also solidified into a massive stone sculpture in mid-air, then fell from the sky onto the ground of Invisible Island, shattering into dust along with the ground.
After the light cannon disappeared, the goatskin bag wrapped around Perseus also dissipated like ash. The hero within the bag, without hesitation, drew his large purple scythe and, at the fastest speed of his life, rushed to the demonic Medusa, who was petrifying and had no resistance in close combat. He used the scythe to directly split her current spherical head in two.
Splat!
Purple demonic blood gushed out. The demonic Medusa's original immortality, after being completely demonized, was entirely suppressed by the effect of the Slaughter of the Undead Blade and had no effect. The demonic Medusa's massive body fell with a thud onto the beach of Invisible Island, then twitched and became still, completely dead.
But at this moment, from the wound that Perseus had opened with the Slaughter of the Undead Blade, accompanied by the gushing blood, three radiant objects flew out.
The first object was a pure white Pegasus with wings, named Pegasus. It was the "child" born from the combination of Medusa's demonic and divine natures.
The second object was a tall giant named Chrysaor. This was also Medusa's "child," born on a similar principle to Pegasus, and was Pegasus's brother.
As for the last object that emerged from the wound, it was an incredibly adorable little girl. She wore a long white and purple dress similar in style to the goddesses Stheno and Euryale. Her long purple hair was adorned with various girlish ribbons and decorations, and in her eyes, the same light as the demonic eyes on the demonic Medusa flickered.
However, these demonic eyes no longer had the same aggressiveness and power as before; instead, they carried a hint of confusion and innocence.
This was Medusa, purely constructed from divinity, who had welcomed a new birth through the method of "placing herself in Death's embrace to find life." She was also Medusa who had become a "complete goddess."
The moment he saw her, Perseus professionally raised his large scythe, wanting to end her life quickly, but Ares's divine power avatar appeared just in time. Almost simultaneously with Perseus raising his scythe, the divine power avatar arrived on the scene, protecting the newly resurrected Medusa.
The God of War's spear and the demigod's scythe collided, that easily knocked away the Slaughter of the Undead Blade from Perseus's hand and kicked him flying. After this round of skilled self-combat, Ares's divine power avatar successfully protected Medusa and then sank into a fissure in the ground with her.
Not only that, the God of War also showed a scornful smile towards the demigod hero under his sister.
Perseus gnashed his teeth in hatred, continuously unleashing various powerful attack spells and sorcery at Ares, but these things were either parried by the spear he held in one hand or directly swept aside as they approached the God of War.
Some spells that were not powerful enough he didn't even bother to block, allowing them to fall upon him, only to be directly repelled by his powerful magic resistance as a god.
Ultimately, due to the immense difference in strength, Perseus could only watch as the God of War took the reborn Medusa into the Underworld. Just as their figures were about to disappear behind the mists of the Underworld, Ares suddenly grinned at Perseus and shouted:
"Go back and tell Athena! Thank her for sending someone to work for me; it was a great help!"
