God's Grace

After a whole day and night of torture, Medusa wore a black cloth cover on her head and was thrown back into the cold and dark prison cell dripping with blood.

After a while, she woke up and took off the cloth cover on her head, only feeling dizzy in her head.

She touched her forehead, but her hand touched something slippery on her head.

Medusa's heart was shocked, and she groped in the dark to climb to the toilet sink in the cell, and with trembling hands, she turned on the wall lamp in front of the toilet sink.

"Uh... ah, ah... ah ah ah!!!..."

For a moment, she was so frightened by the terrifying self in the mirror that she almost fainted.

Her original blond hair turned into terrifying little snakes, her azure eyes turned into dim yellow vertical pupils, her face was covered with ugly magic patterns, and the teeth in her mouth turned into sharp fangs.

"No, no...it's not true, it's not true..."

Medusa didn't even dare to touch her own face, her stomach was overwhelmed, she lay down on the sink, and violently vomited.

The gastric juice she vomited was about to come out, she couldn't believe all of this, but when she raised her head, there was still that nightmarish face in the mirror.

There was a torrential rain on the holy mountain, and the violent rain washed everything. The rain rushed in through the iron bars on the cell wall. Medusa looked up at the lightning and thunder outside the window, let the rain hit her face, and knelt on the cold The slate wailed loudly.

The rain and tears mixed together, together with the temperatureless slate, chilled her gradually dead heart.

……

Medusa's body was eroded by the venom of 190 nine kinds of divine snakes. In the curse circle with the blood of the ancient titan as the source, her divine body was attacked by the poison of the divine snake but she could not die. The ancient gods and demons The powerful magic power contained in the blood allowed the power of the curse to penetrate into her bone marrow and soul. This kind of curse at the level of the main god, with her own power, has no way to get rid of or heal it.

In fact, in the legend of the Olympus Gods, all the primitive gods including Gaia have the form of a snake body. This is because the shape of the snake body is similar and symbolizes the distortion of time and space. One of the oldest life forms directly evolved from the life cells produced by the division of divine power. The image of the snake in the Olympus God's Domain is not completely evil, but has symbolic meanings such as wisdom, protection, earth, time and space.

Inspired by the venom of thousands of snakes and the blood of ancient Titan, Athena stimulated and amplified some snake-like characteristics in the blood of Medusa, a descendant of Gaia, so that snake hair appeared on her body. "Atavistic" forms such as snake eyes, snake teeth, etc. made her look ugly, and told the gods that this was the punishment for seducing the Sea God King with her beauty as Medusa.

The main power of the curse is not actually turning her into this, but a power that makes her unable to control or eliminate her own changes.

There is also another mutation, that is, Medusa has a special ability to petrify other life when it looks at it. This is also similar to the snake body. It was unexpected to Athena, but it was quite to her liking.

The next morning, Medusa, who had been removed from the divine book, was exiled to the earth world.

She was thrown on a small populated island in the Aegean Sea, and was restricted from leaving the island.

The residents on the island were terrified of her arrival. Her terrifying appearance was enough to scare people crazy, and as long as they saw her eyes, they would be turned into stone. People took her for granted as a demon.

People all avoided her in fear, and every time she appeared, people would shoot arrows, throw stones, and yell at her to kill her.

Medusa hid silently in the jungle on the island, and she tried her best to avoid those humans. She didn't want to hurt anyone, but she couldn't control her petrification ability. As long as she looked into other people's eyes, she would turn people into human beings. Stone.

It’s just that even though Medusa is hiding from humans, the news that she, a monster, appeared in the world spread in the human world. Some pretentious heroes and warriors among humans, after hearing the news of Medusa monster, came to look for it. Crusade her, intending to eliminate harm for the people.

Medusa covered her eyes with a cloth, not wanting to hurt innocent human beings. She lived in the jungle and lived in the open, day and night avoiding the pursuit of human beings, but the more she evaded and showed weakness, the more human beings There are more and more hunts down.

She was slashed by human swords and shot by arrows, and she also suffered from pain. When she had to defend herself, she accidentally killed or petrified some humans, and she became more notorious in the human world.

Gradually, Medusa understood that the situation would not improve if this situation continued, and she was tired of the life of eating and sleeping in the open.

Since it is unchangeable for human beings to regard her as an evil monster, then she should just be a monster!

She came to a human town, pretended to be evil and ferocious, drove and enslaved the local residents, and built a palace for her on the island.

And she set up many traps inside and outside her palace, and raised some wild beasts, which can injure humans but not endanger their lives, so that those humans who came to crusade against her retreated.

The situation has gotten better, and there are not many humans who can break through many barriers to see her. Only when there is really no other way, she will fight back those humans by herself.

It's just that human beings are too fragile. Whenever she accidentally kills human beings, seeing those living beings turned into stone statues and corpses because of her own, she feels that her hands are covered with sins. This kind of pain The torment of self-blame is worse than being turned into a monster.

In fact, she knew that all of this was still Athena's trick. Those humans who attacked her came to the island to attack her after Athena was instigated by believers from all over the world.

Because under the frame of Athena, she was charged with the crime of adultery/destroy the Temple of Wisdom, but this crime alone is not enough to serve as the development of Athena's follow-up plan.

After all, Medusa is the third-generation descendant of the primitive god Gaia, and a member of the orthodox protoss. Just a crime of seducing the sea god is not enough for Athena to do whatever she wants with her.

Although there are many ways to directly kill Medusa with Athena's means, but if you just kill Medusa, let her soul die, completely make her existence disappear, and there will be new alternate main gods in the future, So Athena designed to completely remove Medusa from the gods, so that even if she herself had an accident such as the death of her god body, Medusa would not immediately replace her as the god of wisdom.

And what Athena really wants to do is to study the special features of her candidate Godhead, and there are still many special abilities of Medusa's Godhead that have not been developed yet.

After Medusa developed petrification ability during the process of being cursed, Athena decided to exile her to the earth. Dusha killed human beings, making her bear more charges and becoming more and more notorious, so as to pave the way for some of her future plans.

Of course, it is not ruled out to let Medusa concentrate on cultivating her soul for the purpose of rebellion. After her soul becomes stronger, the characteristics of the godhead will be gradually discovered and revealed, and Athena will be able to learn from her godhead in the future. Get more information about Alternate Lord Gods.

Because Medusa can no longer gain the power of faith, Athena doesn't have to worry that her cultivation will be too strong and beyond her control.

To put it bluntly, the current Medusa is like a livestock raised by Athena on the earth, and Athena quietly waits for the day when she grows up enough to be slaughtered and harvested in the realm of the gods.

However, Medusa can guess these, but there is no way to get rid of this situation like a trapped animal.

escape?But where can I escape?She has no ability to leave the earth by herself. On the small earth, there is no place that can escape Athena's detection. Even if she tries to leave the earth by all means, Sister Grail can divination her whereabouts. It's just one more charge of fleeing the land of exile without authorization.

And she also seemed to have no desire to escape, and wherever she fled, she was just a monster scolded by a personal god. She felt that her life had lost its meaning.

She once thought of committing suicide, but the death of the body/body of the gods does not mean the real death, only the complete death of the soul is the real death. Athena naturally prevented her from committing suicide, and the power of the curse made her unable to kill herself. Broken soul, as long as she tries for a while, not only will she not be able to perform it successfully at all, but she will immediately experience the pain of being scorched and torn apart.

So she could only live alone on the island. Except for the occasional humans who came to attack her, only her sisters would accompany her. Medusa, the demon who petrifies people, has become the three Gorgon sisters who are ugly and can petrify people, so she always insists not to let her sisters stay here for a long time.

And after a few years, she found that as she petrified more and more humans, her petrification ability gradually became stronger.

There was even a time when her divine power was particularly strong, her skin became stiff when she looked at Yuri Ellie, and it took many times of healing magic to recover. She was afraid that one day her petrification ability could even kill the gods, and she was even more unwilling Let the sisters come to me more.
