I Enslaved The Goddess Who Summoned Me

Chapter 323: Fight against Poseidon and Hera

"No one knows you said?"

Hera's frown deepened as she caught sight of the smug smirk playing on Nathan's lips.

"Why are you smiling? Have you lost your mind?" she asked, her voice laced with suspicion.

Before Nathan could respond, a deep, rumbling laughter echoed through the air—Poseidon's laughter, mocking and carefree, as if he found the situation amusing.

Nathan's expression did not change, but his eyes darkened, the mirth vanishing in an instant. "Not at all. I'm just pleased to see both of you here," he said smoothly, his gaze lifting to meet theirs.

The warmth in his voice was gone in a heartbeat.

BADOOOM!

An overwhelming force surged through the air, and in an instant, the city of Lyrnessus was consumed by a deadly, biting cold. Ice spread with terrifying speed, a crystalline wave swallowing everything in sight. The buildings, the streets, even the very ground—encased in thick, unrelenting frost. Poseidon, caught off guard, barely had a moment to react before his body was frozen solid where he stood, his expression of shock preserved beneath the ice.

Hera's eyes widened in disbelief.

"What?!"

She knew this power. She recognized it. But before she could process what was happening, a series of shimmering golden barriers materialized in the sky, encasing the city within multiple layers of divine protection. Three barriers—each distinct from the others. This wasn't just a single divine force at play.

A realization struck her like a lightning bolt.

Three different divine barriers…

Hera's instincts screamed at her in warning. Danger. Immediate, overwhelming danger.

She turned, preparing to summon her power—

BADOOOOM!

A searing column of fire crashed down from the heavens, engulfing her entire form in an inferno of divine flames. The sheer force of the impact sent her spiraling through the air before she plummeted to the frozen earth below, colliding with the ground so violently that the city trembled.

Pain exploded through her body. Her very bones ached from the impact.

But that pain was nothing compared to the sheer horror rising in her chest as she recognized the flames that had struck her.

A name escaped her lips in a breathless whisper, barely audible.
