Inner Voice: All Heroines Hear My Inner Voice Chapter 1088: The End of Perseus

Even so, Lucretia and Arianna were curious. The first of them used her magic to create a projection that allowed them to see what was happening outside.

Seeing the front yard of the house in ruins and in disarray—Liliana, who was standing beside Eiji, immediately drew her sword, her beautiful face filled with rage. "How dare you! Even if you're a god, how dare you come to my Lord's residence in such a disrespectful manner!"

With a blue aura bursting from her body, her figure flickered and suddenly appeared in front of Perseus.

"!" The God of Steel was taken aback by the human's speed. He leaped back quickly, but Liliana unleashed a barrage of silver slashes that flew toward him.

Perseus tried to block the attack simply by crossing his arms in front of him. He was a God of Steel; his body was naturally as strong as steel, and it was impossible for him to be injured by a mere human's attack.

However—

*Boom! Boom! Boom!*

Liliana's attacks were stronger than Perseus had expected. From the dust of the explosion, he was thrown back and rolled all the way to the front gate of the mansion.

"Guh... A human injured me? How is that possible?"

Perseus looked at the blood dripping from both his hands, disbelief written all over his face.

He slowly stood up and glared coldly at the silver-haired woman in front of him. A sense of humiliation welled up inside him, and his expression turned grim.

"Wow! Lili, are you showing off?" Erica teased Liliana.

"Hmph! I'm just fulfilling my duty as my Lord's sword." Liliana held her white neck high, a proud expression on her beautiful face.

The Master-Servant contract had clearly made her many times stronger than she was in the original work.

[As expected of Lili. Unlike her in the original work, where she was unable to harm Perseus and was even turned into a puppet by him. She is now actually capable of fighting that God of Steel all by herself.]

Hearing Eiji's praise, Liliana was overjoyed. She held back a smile so as not to ruin her image in battle.

"Lili, your shoulders look like they're trembling. If you want to laugh, you can laugh."

"I-I'm not trying to laugh! Erica, shut up!"

Liliana protested; she was on the verge of getting into an argument with Erica. Athena shook her head; none of them took Perseus seriously.

Perseus knew this and was furious. "Human, don't get cocky just because you hurt me a little!"

"A little? Dude, your divine blood is still dripping from your hand. You might want to head to the nearest hospital right away." Eiji mocked the man with blond hair.

He stepped forward, past Liliana, and stopped beside her. One of his hands rested on Liliana's shoulder as if signaling her to hand the rest over to him.

Liliana understood; she obediently sheathed her sword again.

"Bastard... You dare to mock a god? You're also incredibly arrogant! Your aura is just as repulsive as that of a snake like Athena. I see... I know who you are." Perseus shot Athena a scornful glance and said, "I never expected Athena to have sunk this low—not only with mortals, but she's also allied with a Campione like you. Am I that scary?"

"Perseus, you're the one who's too arrogant and narcissistic." Athena shook her head; she looked at the man she was referring to with indifference.

If it weren't for Eiji, she would have killed him with her own hands.

"Oh, why?" Perseus asked curiously.

"You've misjudged our relationship." Athena glanced at Eiji; there was tenderness in her eyes before she said, "This Campione is my husband, Eiji Seiya. And the people you're referring to… they're my sisters."

"!?" Perseus was taken aback once again.

Eiji rubbed his nose; he hadn't expected Athena to introduce him as her husband.

"Husband? Sisters? Hahahaha!" Perseus suddenly burst out laughing, covering his face with one hand. Then, he looked at Athena with amusement. "My bad—I didn't expect you'd end up marrying the very person destined to kill you."

Campione, or Godslayer, as the name implies. They are the enemies of the gods, and their destiny is to kill them.

However, Perseus didn't expect Athena to have that kind of relationship with one of them.

It was so funny that he laughed.

Athena, Erica, and Liliana frowned. Lucretia and Arianna, who were watching from inside the mansion, also felt annoyed.

I almost forgot—Ena was actually returning to her family to carry out a small task as a Miko. But she was also watching what was happening there via the live stream and glared coldly at Perseus.

"Fake hero." Eiji said with a faint smirk.

Perseus was stunned; the words made the veins on his forehead bulge. He glared at Eiji, "What did you say? Eiji Seiya, let's stop taunting each other. It's not just Athena—I'm going to kill all of you, too."

Eiji shook his head and chuckled, "No, you and everyone else still have to listen to what I have to say. Are you in such a hurry to die? Take it easy."

"You…" Perseus clenched his fists and gripped his bow tightly. He wanted to stop Eiji from continuing because he might know about his dark past.

But his body wouldn't move. An invisible force was gripping his body!

Was this Eiji's doing?!

Perseus's suspicion was correct; Eiji had just used his telekinetic ability to hold him in place. He then continued speaking casually; though his voice wasn't particularly loud, thanks to the Law of Vibration, everyone in the world could hear him clearly.

"In this world, Perseus isn't actually a pure demigod fighting for humanity like in popular Greek myths. His true identity is a god born from the fusion of three entities: Mithra (the ancient Persian Sun God), Helios (the Greek Sun God), and an element of Marduk (the Babylonian Storm God)."

"Stop! Stop! Damn it, why is your voice so loud!?" Perseus looked panicked; it seemed he really didn't want anyone else to know his origins.

Athena and the others didn't expect the man to react that strongly.

Eiji was incredible.

He always knows how to humiliate his enemies.

"Because of that myth's manipulation, Perseus is destined to always hunt gods or creatures possessing the essence of a serpent or a dragon. Just as he is now, he is playing the false role of a monster slayer that history has pinned on him."

"He's a pitiful god."

As he said that, the mansion's courtyard and the surrounding scenery transformed into rocky terrain. The sky above them turned into a night sky.

Everyone present had been transported to another dimension.

A golden sword appeared in Eiji's right hand.

His words not only served to reveal Perseus's origins and mock him, but they also activated the "Warrior" authority he had stolen from Godou.

He didn't hesitate to use it in that situation.

"Eiji Seiya!!" Perseus shouted, feeling ashamed and humiliated. He could imagine how many people now knew about his dark past.

He had lost face!

His dignity had been trampled on by Eiji!

That man had a very venomous tongue! It's one thing if he wanted to expose his origins, but he even used a loudspeaker so that many people could hear him.

He was the most evil Campione she had ever encountered.

Athena, Erica, Liliana, and the women watching the livestream all widened their eyes. They looked at Eiji in awe.

"You came all the way to Japan just to hunt down my woman? Too bad—Athena is mine now. If you want to lay a finger on her, you'll have to step over your own dead body first." Eiji said calmly.

Countless golden swords appeared behind him and lined up in the air.

The tip of each sword was aimed at Perseus.

[King, you're so cool right now!]

'Leme, I know that.'

[Host, do you really need to talk that much just to show off?]

'Miss System, I don't understand what you're saying.'

Perseus widened his eyes; the invisible force gripping his body had vanished. Even so, he remained frozen in place. "You're a truly disgusting Campione. But those swords... I understand why you're so confident, Eiji Seiya!"

He recognized the power Eiji was wielding and sensed the immense danger emanating from those golden swords.

Eiji: No, this authority is just one of my toys.

He didn't bother telling Perseus and said, "Let's see how tough your steel body is against these swords, Perseus."

"Damn it!! Don't underestimate me!!" Perseus shouted as a divine aura erupted from his body. He quickly fired his arrows of light at Eiji

*BOOM!*

Eiji shot forward, his speed resembling teleportation. With just a single horizontal slash from his golden sword, Perseus's energy arrow was split in two mid-air and exploded behind him.

In the blink of an eye, Eiji was right in front of Perseus.

*CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!*

A close-quarters battle erupted in the courtyard of Eiji's residence. Perseus was forced to draw his curved sword to fend off Eiji's relentless slashes. However, the God of Steel was immediately overwhelmed. Every time their blades clashed, Perseus felt his entire body shake violently. Eiji's absurdly high base physical strength, combined with the effect of the golden sword that constantly eroded his divine energy, kept pushing him back.

Perseus's footing became unsteady, his breathing ragged, and his strength began to wane.

"W-What the hell is this power…?! You're not just an ordinary Campione!" Perseus screamed in frustration, his handsome face now drenched in cold sweat and fear as he realized he was completely dominated on this battlefield.

He also realized that Eiji was unlike any other Campione. His strength and speed were far too overwhelming, and right now he was clearly using only the power associated with those swords.

That didn't make sense.

Unless… Eiji was a god!

"When did I say I was just a Campione?" Eiji tilted his head, an amused smile on his face. He casually blocked every slash from Perseus and said nonchalantly, "Actually, I could also be called a god."

As he said that, he raised the golden sword in his hand high above his head and swung it vertically.

*SLASH!!*

The slash cleaved through space and the ground in front of him for thousands of kilometers. Perseus shuddered; he frantically dodged the attack by leaping far to the side.

He was nearly cut in half.

"Are you a god? But you're also a Campione? That shouldn't be possible!"

He hurriedly raised his golden bow toward Eiji. At that very moment, the air behind him suddenly churned, emitting thousands of dazzling golden magic circles. From within those circles, a rain of countless arrows of light rained down.

"Even so, you'll still die by my arrows, Eiji Seiya!"

Perseus felt confident again after unleashing his most powerful attack.

Facing that mass-destruction attack, Eiji remained unconcerned. He thrust the golden sword in his hand into the ground. "A rain of arrows? A cliché trick, Perseus. Let me show you how a King fights."

Countless golden swords flew toward him, swirling around him as if he were the center.

"What!?"

Perseus forgot all about the swords. Not only did they protect Eiji, but the golden swords also flew toward him.

His rain of arrows collided with the swords and quickly gained the upper hand.

The swords passed right through Perseus, but many of them slashed at his body.

*THWACK! THWACK! THWACK!*

"AAAGHHH!!" Perseus screamed in pain.

His famously invulnerable god-like body was now being pelted and pierced by dozens of golden swords from all directions. The blades tore through his white cloak, pierced his protective armor, and forcibly sealed the flow of divine energy within his body.

Perseus was flung backward, slamming hard into the ground. Blood gushed from his entire body, leaving him without the strength to even lift his own head.

Eiji stepped closer, gazing at the now-dying and helpless god with a look of contempt. "With such meager power, you thought you could hunt down Athena? She herself could actually kill you with ease."

"Ugh… Is that so? Eiji Seiya... You win. I... I won't hunt Athena anymore. "Please forgive me—can you spare my life?"

Perseus admitted his defeat and even begged for his life. He looked at Eiji with fear in his eyes.

His arrogance had been shattered.

Now, he looked like a loser. He didn't dare argue that Athena herself could kill him.

Eiji smirked and said, "Athena, come here."

In an instant, Athena teleported to his side and asked without so much as a glance at Perseus's pitiful appearance. "My husband, what do you want?"

"Perseus is the enemy destined for you. According to mythology, he has been hunting you for a long time. Aren't you upset and want to kill him with your own hands?"

"?!" Perseus felt a chill run through his entire body.

Athena gave a faint smile; she looked down and replied, "Thank you, my husband. I've wanted to kill this annoying steel with my own hands for a long time."

In her hand, a large black scythe—the embodiment of death and ancient earth—materialized, slicing through the air around her.

Seeing his arch-enemy ready to take his life, Perseus was overcome with panic and fear.

"N-NO!! THIS CAN'T BE!!" Perseus screamed hysterically, his severely wounded body frantically crawling backward across the ground, spattering blood in all directions. His handsome face was now contorted in a hideous grimace, consumed by overwhelming horror. "I am Perseus! The serpent-slayer destined to subdue the darkness of the earth! How dare a goddess who has been defiled and has become the pet of a Demon King like you touch my sacred armor?! Get away from me, monster!! STAY AWAY!!"

Screaming like a madman, Perseus tried to swing the broken remnants of his golden bow with trembling hands, acting like a coward who had lost all dignity.

Athena stared at the god of steel with a completely flat and contemptuous gaze. "How utterly repulsive. That 'fate of steel' you're so proud of is nothing more than a joke in the eyes of my husband," she said coldly, her voice echoing like a death knell. "And know this before you vanish… being the wife of an extraordinary man like Eiji is the highest honor that a lowly god like you will never understand."

Eiji: Thank you, Perseus, you've made Athena fall in love with me.

Miss System: So does this count as a love operation, too?

Athena raised her black sickle high. Absolute darkness envelops the blade, erasing all light in that area.

"Die, you steel insect."

*SLASH!*

With a single swift and merciless horizontal slash, Athena's black scythe cleanly severed Perseus's head. Perseus's hysterical screams were cut off instantly. The body and head of the Steel God instantly exploded into millions of shards of golden light, completely absorbed into the Darkness surrounding Athena.

She absorbed the remnants of Perseus's divinity and grew slightly stronger as a result. Eiji clapped his hands a few times before saying, "That was a cool execution, Athena. Are you satisfied now that you've killed your archenemy?"

Athena turned around, a smile reappearing on her beautiful face as she gazed at the man she loved. "I'm very satisfied. It's all thanks to me, husband. As a reward for a hero like you, I'll give you a kiss."

She stood on tiptoe, wrapped her slender arms around his neck, and kissed his lips. Eiji's eyes widened.

[Athena, you're getting more and more aggressive. I really love it!]

You like that?

Then... Athena closed her eyes and slipped her tongue into her husband's mouth. She kissed him passionately.

Eiji wrapped his arms around the slender waist of the Goddess of Wisdom and squeezed her buttocks. He wasn't Godou, the protagonist who would just stand there frozen when forcibly kissed by a beautiful woman in the original work.

By the way, the kiss Godou received from Athena in the original work was actually a kiss of death. If he weren't the protagonist, he would surely have died from receiving that kiss.

It wasn't a loving kiss like the one Eiji was receiving now.

Jie jie jie.

"Wawawa! Can't you guys at least wait until we get back to the mansion?!" Liliana complained, jealousy in her eyes.

"Tch!" Erica clicked her tongue while folding her arms beneath her large breasts.

But that was all; she didn't try to stop Eiji and Athena from getting cozy right in front of her. At this point, she had a high tolerance for Eiji's bastard behavior.

The winner that day was the Harem King!

Leme: Hehehe.

Miss System: "...."
