"I must say, your twin is much better than you. At least he used to speak when I asked him questions. But you... You don't even answer."
Jia was still distracted by Gabriel to realize that she had already entered the City of Gods. It was as if she didn't even consider this place to be worth her attention.
"When we et him, you can ask him any question you want." Gabriel still had no idea how he was going to explain to the little girl about the absence of his twin when they reached the core, but he left that for later. For now, he could only use his non-existent twin to his advantage.
"Hmph, he must be older than you. Even though he's not as wise as , but he's much wiser than you." Jia spoke bluntly, not even realizing that her words only made Gabriel more amused. The little airhead was actually calling herself wiser than him.
If she had said she was stronger than him, he must've reluctantly believed her, but when it ca to everything else... She was just too far behind others.
"Stop talking now. We are inside the city! Rember what I said before! Don't touch anything here! Anything can be a trap, even a random piece of stone on the streets!" Alion reminded everyone once again, turning around.
However, as soon as he turned around, his jaws dropped.
His stunned expressions even made Gabriel wonder just why Alion was so shocked. However, it wasn't until he heard the little girl that he realized what had happened.
"This status isn't bad. It should be the divine beast of the old era." Jia was already standing near one of the stone pillars which had a majestic statue sitting atop.
The statue belonged to a beast that Gabriel hadn't seen in reality. Not only did the beast have six wings, but his body was that of a fierce seven-clawed lion. Even though it was just a statue, there was still a powerful suppression that could be felt from the statue, as if it contained a trace of the will from the maker of the statue.
Just from the trace of suppression alone, Gabriel was sure that the person who made this status was at least a Demigod!
"You crazy airhead!" Alion roared with a facepalm. It hadn't even been a minute since he told everyone to not touch anything here, and the little girl was already sitting atop the majestic statue, poking it.
Even Gabriel could only smile wryly. Finally he understood why Alion felt the need to give the little girl a nickna like that. She really never listened or thought about the dangers with her actions.
"Stop being a scaredy cat. What are you worried about? It's just a statue that's catching dust here. It's not like it's going to co alive and attack us." Sitting above the majestic six winged tiger, Jia rolled her eyes as if mocking Alion for being so cautious.
"You-" Alion was about to respond and tell her to get down and stop playing around. However, he stopped abruptly as his shocked expressions turned into a smirk.
Even Gabriel was taken aback. Initially he thought that it was just his misconception but when it happened a second ti, he understood that he wasn't imagining things! The six winged tiger statue... Its eyes were opening slowly, as if it really was alive.
He reached out his hand subconsciously to alert Jia who was still atop the lion. Unfortunately, before he could speak, Alion appeared before him and closed his mouth, gesturing to him to stay silent.
He calmly whispered, "It's ti she learned her lesson. Don't interfere!"
Gabriel could only rub his forehead, feeling as if he was caught in a fight between two kids. Even Alion acted like a child at tis like this.
Alion's grin widened. "You're right. It's not like the statue can co back to life. However, this statue lacks quality. It needs so finishing touches from an expert like you! How about you use your swords to give it so final touches to make it look even better?"
Gabriel could only remain silent in the back, watching the scene between two demigods who were like the peak existences in this world, yet they were both like that in reality. If others got to know the real personality of these deity-like existences, he wondered just what their reaction was going to be.
The little girl didn't find anything suspicious in Alion's words or his sudden change of behavior. Instead, she was quite pleased.
"Hahaha, you finally understand how talented I am. I suppose I can forgive you for your past mistakes now that you see the truth!"
This ti, even Gabriel couldn't help but facepalm himself. He wasn't sure if the girl was a narcissist or if she really believed those words because of her dense personality.
No matter what the case, the little girl was convinced with Alion's words.
She raised her heavy sword, flying slightly higher. "I really should improve this statue. It'd be a pity if such a bad statue was seen by others."
"She's going to use that heavy Sword to carve the statue? Won't that break the statue in one stroke?" Gabriel wondered out loud.
"You think that dunce knows anything about carving statues?" Alion rolled his eyes. "Just he prepared to watch a good show."
Jia raised her heavy sword, trying to use it like a fine blade to improve the statue according to her desires. Her Sword ca slashing down, as if about to strike one of the six wings of the lion, looking to cut it off entirely.
Boom ~
Her Sword clashed with the stone pillar, bringing the entire stone pillar down. However, Jia wasn't happy. Just as her sword was about to touch the stone statue, the statue disappeared in thin air, making the sword hit the stone pillar!
Roarrr~
A wild roar resounded in the air, accompanied by the aura of a Demigod! Even though the aura in the will of the statue was just a small fragnt of the sculpture's own strength and will, but that small fragnt was also the strength of a real Demigod.
Jia looked above her head. The stone statue that had gone missing was in the air, above her. All six wings of the stone tiger were wide open, making the seven clawed lion look even more majestic.
The wild Lion was looking at Jia fiercely, as if it couldn't wait to rip the girl apart!
"Oh? The thing really ca alive," Jia let out in surprise. She looked back at Alion on the ground. "You really have a cursed mouth, don't you?"
