Open the door, there is another world

Liliana: “…”

This guy is still so shameless that there is nothing to say.

Li Qing was speechless, but being suspected was not a good thing, so she smiled and said to Liliana: “Although I don’t know how many times you have been deceived by Erica that made you distrust her, but this time she really didn’t lie to me. I am indeed the God Slayer. To be honest, I don’t care much about this identity, but it is not a good thing to be suspected of being fake all the time, so I will let you confirm it.”

Liliana was stunned: “How to confirm?”

“That’s confirmed!” Li Qing smiled and stretched out his hand.

Liliana was a little puzzled. She just watched Li Qing’s hand reaching out towards her. At first glance, it looked very normal, just an ordinary hand reaching out to her, but she soon discovered something unusual. As Li Qing’s hand reached out, she felt a huge pressure. Obviously, this palm was the same size as that of an ordinary person, but in front of her eyes it suddenly became as huge as a mountain, covering everything in front of her.

In an instant, she felt that everything around her disappeared, and there was only this hand grabbing towards her.

All her strength was useless at this moment. She felt her own insignificance and could only watch the hand falling towards her.

She wanted to resist, but she couldn’t muster any strength. She wanted to dodge, but she couldn’t move at all. She could only watch the hand fall in despair. She had forgotten that this was the proof given to her by Li Qing. She thought she was really going to die under this palm. Then suddenly, the pressure brought by the injury disappeared, and it turned into an ordinary palm that shook in front of her eyes. Then Li Qing’s smiling voice came: “How is it? Are you sure now?”

Liliana didn’t say anything, but sat down on the ground with a pale face and limp body.

“Lily?” Erica exclaimed.

He quickly went over to support Liliana: “Lily! What’s wrong with you?”

She was previously a bystander, so she only saw Li Qing stretching out his hand towards Liliana and shaking it twice, as if to say hello, but such an ordinary action made Lily collapse to the ground with a pale face and cold sweat on her forehead. She was obviously scared. Erica was very surprised, but she also knew that this was not the time to be surprised, so she hurried over to help Liliana up.

Liliana regained some consciousness at this time, and subconsciously tried to stand up with Erica’s help.

But suddenly her face changed and turned red, and then there was a puff of steam coming out of her head. Even Erica, who was helping her up, felt the burning sensation. Erica was a little puzzled: “Lily, what’s wrong with you?”

Liliana’s face turned red, and she quickly broke free from Erica’s support, got up by herself, and ran out.

Erica behind him was puzzled: “Lily?”

Liliana over there didn’t stop walking at all. She ran out and slammed the door. From the sound of her footsteps, she seemed to be getting farther and farther away.

Erica looked confused and turned to look at Li Qing: “What’s wrong with her?”

Li Qing was also a little puzzled. He shook his head and said, “Didn’t she doubt me? So I showed her some of my strength to let her know that I am a real God Slayer. She was obviously scared just now, but I don’t know why she ran away suddenly.”

“Is that so?” Erica nodded.

Then he looked towards the door, with a worried look on his face.

Although she had been bullying Liliana since she was a child, she and Liliana still had a good relationship. Now that Liliana suddenly left, she was really worried that something had happened to her. Li Qing also touched his chin thoughtfully, and then said to Erica: “Go check on her. Although I don’t know what happened, it should be because of my test just now. Go and see if there is any problem. If there is, bring her here and I will help her treat it.”

Erica nodded quickly: “I understand.”

Then he trotted out to chase after him.

Li Qing shook his head helplessly. He just saw that Liliana didn’t believe it so he proved it to her. He never expected that such a thing would happen suddenly. Now he was a little confused and didn’t know why Liliana suddenly ran away.

“Could it be that he has suffered a psychological trauma from being frightened?” Li Qing muttered.

He picked up the black tea and took a sip, then exhaled lightly. Suddenly, he smelled a strange smell. He turned his head and looked in the direction of the smell. He found that the place where Liliana had been sitting felt a little moist. Li Qing was stunned for a moment, and his nose couldn’t help but move a few times, and then a strange look appeared on his face.

“No way?” Li Qing was speechless.

He almost knew the reason why Liliana suddenly ran away. It turned out that she became incontinent due to fear.

The corner of Li Qing’s mouth twitched. He really didn’t know how to react. He really didn’t expect this to happen.

“You came without going to the toilet?” Li Qing looked up at the sky and shook his head speechlessly.

Then he waved his hand and a gust of wind blew over, and the strange smell instantly disappeared.

At this time, on the other side, Erica also figured out what happened. She caught up with Liliana and pestered her to prevent her from entering the bathroom. Finally, the ashamed Liliana told the truth, so now Erica’s expression became strange.

“Is it really like this?” she murmured to herself.

No wonder Lily ran away suddenly. If it were her, she would have run away suddenly too, because she would have died.

“But Lily’s skirt is wet, so there should be traces there, right?” Erica suddenly thought of this.

So her expression became even more strange: “Does that mean Li Jun also knows about it?”

Erica looked towards the bathroom, where the water was already running. Erica’s expression became compassionate: “Lily…”

It’s really a social death.

Liliana appeared beside Li Qing again, but she never dared to look at Li Qing.

She didn’t know that she had been exposed, but she still didn’t dare to look Li Qing in the eye. Her eyes were wandering and completely unfixed. This was the state in which she didn’t realize that she had been exposed. If she knew that she had been exposed, she would never dare to appear in front of Li Qing again.

“Are you okay now?” Li Qing asked.

Liliana quickly shook her head: “No, I’m fine.”

“I’m glad you’re okay.” Li Qing nodded.

Then he found that Erica was observing him. Li Qing turned to look at Erica: “What’s wrong?”

“No.” Erica shook her head quickly.

She wanted to ask Li Qing whether he had noticed Lily’s incontinence, but Lily was here now, so she didn’t ask.

Li Qing didn’t know what Erica was thinking. He was still thinking about the monster he smelled before, so he looked at Liliana with a strange look, but soon retracted his gaze. Although he seemed a bit straight, he also knew that such things could not be said out loud, so after retracting his gaze, he changed the subject and called Erica next to him: “Erica, is there any news about the God of Disobedience recently?”

Erica blinked and then shook her head: “No.”

“Is that so? It turns out that the God of Disobedience is very hard to find.” Li Qing nodded.

Liliana next to her also wanted to help, because she didn’t want to think about her incontinence anymore, so she was racking her brains to think of a topic, just to keep her mind busy, because as long as she was idle, she would not be able to help but think about that matter. Now suddenly, a light bulb went off in her mind, and she thought of something that happened recently, and then she said, “There is a divine artifact, a divine artifact related to the God of Disobedience!”

“What magic weapon?” Li Qing was curious.

Erica was also surprised, she didn’t know about this either.

“It happened recently. Someone dug through an ancient ruin and found this artifact inside.” Liliana said.

Erica also remembered something at this time: “Is it that ancient temple?”

“That’s right.” Liliana nodded.

Li Qing asked curiously: “What kind of artifact is it? Can it summon the God of Disobedience?”

Liliana thought for a moment and said, “It’s a stone tablet with the image of Medusa from the mythology on it. After it was discovered, it turned into a mythical beast. A giant dragon almost escaped. Finally, we used a magic circle to seal it and isolate it from the interaction with the magic power of heaven and earth, so that the mythical beast turned into a stone tablet again. According to our research and speculation, it should be the Gorgong Stone, and it should be related to the three sisters of Athena in the legend!”

Li Qing remembered that the Gorgon Stone did appear in the original work of God Killer, and it was indeed related to Athena.

In the original work of God Slayer, Athena is the leader of the Trinity, but now Li Qing has kind of forgotten who the three members of Athena’s Trinity are. He only remembers two of them, one is Athena and the other is Medusa, and he has forgotten who the other one is. He also doesn’t remember much about the Gorgon Stone turning into a dragon. As mentioned before, he hasn’t watched the show for a long time because he doesn’t want to have the feeling of having a green head, so his distant memories are indeed a bit fuzzy.

He asked Liliana: “Where is the Gorgon Stone now?”

“It is being sealed.” Liliana said: “Originally, the others were planning to find the Sword King to resolve this matter, but the Sword King ran off to who knows where and cannot be contacted at all, so the Gorgon Stone is still sealed.”

“Then bring it to me.” Li Qing said.

Liliana already knew that Li Qing was a God Slayer, so she had no objection to this matter. She nodded and said, “I’ll go back and get it right away.”

“Thank you for your help.” Li Qing nodded.

Liliana quickly said it was no trouble, and then turned and left.

Li Qing stroked his chin and then laughed: “Athena?”

“Athena?” Erica’s voice came, and then she said thoughtfully: “The Gorgon Stone is indeed related to Athena, but the one most related should be Medusa. There is also Metis among the three Gorgon sisters, so it should be related to Metis as well.”

“Metis?” Li Qing asked.

Erica nodded: “The three Gorgon sisters, the first is Athena, the second is Medusa, and the third is Metis. Metis is the mother of Athena.”

“Mother? Why are there three sisters again?” Li Qing was puzzled.

Erica said: “Because Athena is the posthumous child of Metis, she was born after Metis’ death. This is a very unique concept in mythology. It shows that Athena was born with the legacy of Metis, so the existence of Athena is also the existence of Metis. The two have become one in the concept of mythology.”

Li Qing: “…”

This is nothing.

Because the posthumous child born after the mother’s death replaces the mother’s existence, the two become one. This is really a bit confusing.

“Myth.” Li Qing shook his head.

Erica laughed when she saw him like this: “Mythology is like this. Many concepts are strange to us humans, but they are true in mythology. For example, the relationship between Metis and Medusa. In Greek mythology, Metis and Medusa both have the meaning of wisdom, and Athena is the wise goddess of war. So the three are connected together, and the trinity between them is established.”

Li Qing: “…”

This is another inexplicable connection.

But at this time he remembered that the main function of the mythology of this world is to restrain the disobedient gods who were originally elves and reduce the power of these elves, so all changes in mythology serve this purpose. In this way, the reason why those things in mythology that seem illogical to us are logically smooth in mythology has been found. These are all changes in the ritual of mythology, so there is actually nothing strange about it.

“But what about the dragons? Are Athena and the others related to the dragons?” Li Qing was still a little curious about this, so he asked again.

Erica smiled and said, “Because Athena’s original form was the Earth Mother Goddess, and the Earth Mother Goddess’s followers were winged snakes. In mythology, the shedding of snakes represents death and rebirth, and wings mean messengers, the messengers of the Earth Mother Goddess conveying the revival of all things. The combination of snakes and wings is a winged snake, and a winged snake is a dragon. That’s why the Gorgon Stone turned into a dragon because it was originally a follower of Athena.”

Li Qing nodded in realization, and suddenly remembered something: “Shouldn’t Athena be an owl?”

“Owls are creatures that appear at night, so they symbolize bad omens and darkness. There is also a legend that they are sacred birds that represent wisdom. The winged snake represents the essence of Athena, the goddess of the earth. The combination of the two is still the essence of Athena, the spirit of the mother earth, who commands death and darkness, and is the ruler of the sky, earth, darkness and death. All these combined are the real Athena, the true form of Athena in mythology.” Erica said.

Li Qing nodded after listening: “There are also these rules and regulations.”

Before, he only knew that Athena was the goddess of wisdom and war. He learned this from watching cartoons about Greek mythology when he was a child. Now, after hearing what Erica said, he realized that Athena had so many secrets. Suddenly, she had the power over night, death, sky, and earth. Isn’t Athena too powerful?

However, Athena in this world seemed to be like this, so Li Qing nodded in acceptance.

“Does Athena have Medusa’s petrifying eye?” Li Qing asked casually again.

Erica thought for a moment, then said, “If Athena really restores the true form of the Trinity, she will also have the Eye of Petrification, but the most important thing to pay attention to should be the power of death. The power of death of the gods can sometimes kill instantly, and even the God Slayer cannot resist it. Once you are hit, no matter what abilities you have, you will die immediately. So if you have the opportunity to fight Athena in the future, you must pay great attention to this.”

Li Qing nodded: “I will pay attention.”

Then he thought of something and said, “Is the power of resurrection useful?”

Erica was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise: “Do you have the power of resurrection?”

“Yes, I got it from that god of war.” Li Qing nodded.

The shepherding power obtained from the god of war can bring him back to life from the dead. From the meaning conveyed by the power, shepherding represents wealth, abundance and fertility, and is a display of vitality. Therefore, after the power is transformed, people can be brought back to life.

Erica was very surprised: “That’s fine. The power of death and the power of resurrection are opposites and can cancel each other out.”

“That’s good.” Li Qing also nodded with a smile.

At this time, he also remembered the plot in the original book. The male protagonist in the original book was indeed hit by Athean’s power of death and lost his life in an instant, but was resurrected in the next instant. Therefore, the shepherd’s power can indeed offset Athean’s power of instant death, so there is really no need to worry.

“But Athena’s power of instant death seems to be activated by a kiss?” Li Qing suddenly remembered this.

Then he touched his lips, and then patted his face gently: “I am also blinded by lust, and I am still thinking about this now.”

He shook his head and threw the thought away, looking towards the door. He took the Gorgon Stone after thinking about what Liliana was thinking about.

But it seems that it will take some time. After all, the thing is sealed, and the seal location is unknown, so it is normal to spend some time. So Li Qing retracted his gaze and then looked at Erica: “Erica, what is the novel?”

“What?” Erica didn’t respond.

Li Qing looked at her and said with a smile: “Do you think I didn’t hear your whispers with Lily? So what is the novel?”

Erica: “…”

She blinked her eyes. She really didn’t expect Li Qing to suddenly ask this question. But on second thought, she found it very interesting, so she walked to a table not far away with a smile and reached out to open the drawer there. Li Qing also saw a magic circle flash by. It was obvious that Erica had cast a magic there. Then Erica took out a small notebook from it and walked to Li Qing with a smile.

“Want to see it?” she asked with a smile.

Li Qing stretched out his hand: “Of course I want to see it.”

Erica smiled and said, “This is Lily’s secret. If you read it, you and I will be in the same boat.”

Li Qing laughed and said, “Give it to me!”

After saying that, Erica felt the notebook in her hand being pulled away with a swish sound and flew directly into Li Qing’s hands.

Li Qing opened the book and started reading. He read it word by word and found out that it was a novel about the love between a man and a woman. However, many of the plots in it seemed to give people goose bumps. The remarks of the overbearing president were everywhere in it, and there were all kinds of wall-dongs and all kinds of heart-pounding plots. But to be honest, it was really well written. There were traces of the magic circles in all the plots, and the love between the man and the woman was getting better and better. It was a very mature novel.

“Well written!” Li Qing exclaimed.

Erica blinked her eyes and said, “It’s good, but many of the dialogues in it do give me goosebumps.”

“That’s true.” Li Qing also nodded with a smile.

Many of the dialogues in the film are indeed like this, full of beauty and innocence, and really make people get goose bumps when reading them.
