But having said that, wherever Hilde's eyes went, there was still nothingness.
In the emptiness and darkness, there is only this warm voice.
"I once gave you power, but forgot to teach you how to use it, leaving you in this predicament, trapped in anguish and pain that you can't extricate yourself from. In this case, I will tell you how to use your power."
"My...power?"
Sophia couldn't help but take a deep breath.
It seems that the time has come.
Is this the kind of power that Hilde was talking about?
Sophia was now crying with joy. She realized that if she had the power, she should be able to help Hilde and solve her current predicament, right?
"Then can I help Sissi?"
"Of course, kid."
At this time, a pair of invisible hands gently held Sophia's cheeks.
"Child, remember, you are the key, you are the key to open a new era, you must stay by the side of the person you love, and you cannot leave her. Your power is not for your own selfish desires, but to protect the person you really want to protect." The goddess' voice was getting closer and closer, as if she was speaking in front of Hilde, "I can't give you all my power, but if you work together, you will definitely be able to defeat the powerful enemy now."
Sophia nodded.
"I-I know!"
"Please close your eyes."
At this time, Sophia plucked up the courage and asked:
"Then... then who are you?"
"I am a god who has disappeared from this world. My existence was once recorded in human stories, but I disappeared long ago."
"but……"
"When you know it, you will know it naturally."
Sophia blinked.
Suddenly I found that I was back to where I was.
Although she seemed to be dreaming, the moment just now passed in less than a second. At this time, Sophia raised her head and looked at Hilde who was caught by Apollo.
"no……"
I must protect Sissi!
Golgopas hadn't responded yet.
He felt that Sophia was a little strange, but he didn't ask yet.
Sophia's figure disappeared right in front of him.
At this time, Apollo was about to strangle Hilde's neck. Anyway, Hilde had the body of Athena, so even if her neck was broken, she would not die immediately. Apollo had every chance to take her away.
And Tomyris wanted to fight back.
But he couldn't get close to Apollo at all.
"Hilde, go to hell!"
The strength in Apollo's hands increased.
Blood was oozing from the corners of Hilde's mouth. Even though she tried hard to pry Apollo's hands open with both hands, it was still useless.
No...
My consciousness has begun to blur.
The power in my body began to disobey my commands.
Hilde only felt that his vision had begun to blur.
no more...
This really can't go on...
Hilde knew that his life was now in the most dangerous moment.
A feeling of pain and discomfort welled up in my heart.
The despair under absolute power is now displayed vividly.
Faced with such an enemy, I can do nothing. Any struggle will not cause any harm to him. I cannot stop the situation from developing in a bad direction.
Obviously...
Xerxes was on his way.
Obviously, I also hurt the other person.
But why can't we stop it?
“Let her go—!!!”
When Hilde's consciousness was about to disappear.
A sudden cry brought her back to consciousness.
Apollo was also stunned for a moment, but then Sophia's fist hit Apollo hard in the face.
That iron fist was swung out with hatred to protect Hilde.
He directly smashed Apollo's barrier, and then knocked Apollo out with one punch.
"Sissi!"
Sophia caught Hilde.
And Hilde was able to take a deep breath.
"Ah... I thought I was going to die."
"Sissi..."
"Ah, I didn't expect that you would carry me like a princess... ahem."
Hilde couldn't help laughing as he watched himself curled up in Sophia's arms, but he still choked on the blood.
"Don't joke around at this time."
"you……"
Only then did Hilde feel it.
Something was wrong with Sophia.
And now, where Sophia's feet are standing.
A black substance like a quagmire began to spread around.
The place where Apollo was was scorching and dazzling, but when Sophia appeared here, it was replaced by a heart-chilling coldness, as if she had fallen into hell.
"You have awakened your ability?"
"Yes."
Sophia nodded heavily.
"I can protect you now."
"Well, thank you."
Hilde raised her head and looked at the sky above her head.
Now, something strange happened in the originally cloudless sky.
Unlike the dark clouds that Hilde had exchanged for before, the sky now seemed to be polluted. The bright blue sky was being infected by a black existence. At a speed visible to the naked eye, the blue sunny day turned into an inky night. Hilde looked at everything that happened in front of him in surprise, then turned around and looked at Sophia.
"This is?"
"what……"
Now Sophia was also in shock.
She didn't know that she could create such a miracle.
Apollo could dispel Hilde's dark clouds, but in front of Sophia, even if it was daytime, it was reversed into night. Soon, the entire sky was swallowed up. At this time, looking up at the sky again, you will find that the sky above your head is full of bright stars. The only difference from the ordinary night is that there is no moon above everyone's head.
"This……"
Tomyris was also dumbfounded in surprise.
What's the situation?
When night falls, it means that the source of Apollo's power has been greatly weakened.
"That's interesting..."
Hilde stood up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
And Apollo also recovered from the punch from Sophia.
He straightened his head which had been hit crooked, and then glared at Sophia and Hilde in front of him.
"What did you... do?"
"I do not know."
Sophia clenched her fists and stood in front of Hilde.
"You seem to be afraid of me."
“Scared? Hahahahaha… How could I be afraid of you, an oracle whose origins are unknown?”
"Look, he's still showing off."
Hilde couldn't help but complain.
The Fifth Tune, the Eighth Section, A Fist Full of Justice
Even though he was almost killed by Apollo just now, Hilde still couldn't change his sarcastic habit.
But now Hilde's confidence, which had been completely defeated, returned again. Apollo's almost irresistible power came from the sunny day just now, but now Sophia's ability turned the entire sky into darkness, which undoubtedly greatly weakened Apollo's ability.
Although Hilde didn't know why Sophia had such a supernatural power, she now roughly understood why Apollo was afraid in front of Sophia. This was probably largely due to the strange divine power in Sophia. Apollo represented light, the bright sunshine and the clear sky.
And Sophia apparently has the power to control the night.
This is obviously the opposite of Apollo.
But Hilde was a little confused. Although Apollo was the god of light, darkness was indeed his nemesis, but light was also the nemesis of darkness. As one of the twelve main gods, Apollo should not have any other gods related to darkness who possessed such powerful strength that could make Apollo afraid or even unable to cope with it.
But no matter what, we have finally recovered from this disastrous state. Hilde was indeed caught off guard by Apollo, but the situation is not certain now.
"I never thought that there would be so many things about you that would surprise me. Such a clear sky turned into darkness in such a short time. This must not be a simple ability."
Apollo raised his hands and sighed as he walked towards Hilde.
"Sophia, Tomyris."
"We understand!"
The time has come.
Sophia gently took off the hood on her head, revealing the long horns hidden inside the hood. Hilde no longer hid his true state. Just like Sophia, huge bat-like wings appeared behind him, and a pair of devil-like horns grew on his head. In the dark night, he looked particularly evil.
Apollo happened to see this scene, and he couldn't believe his eyes. This was the first time Apollo saw Hilde in this state. He didn't expect that Sophia, who was beside Hilde, was also like this.
"marvelous……"
Apollo knew it well.
This seemingly strange change must have come from the legendary artifact.
The more secrets the two people revealed, the more excited Apollo became, which meant that he was not wrong.
And Apollo could also feel it. The original book of creation and the key to open it must be with Hilde. As long as Hilde could be captured, he would truly have the power to change the world. Such a powerful artifact, but Hilde used it so weakly, which made Apollo sigh and say:
"You two are really something. The Book of Genesis is such a terrifying artifact. It is something that can change the order of this world and everything in this world. It contains power from ancient times that even we cannot explore. Hilde, you have such a powerful thing, but you can't even compete with me head-on."
"It wasn't possible before, but it may not be possible now."
Hilde pulled up the spear from the ground.
