Athena in Tower Defense Game! [LitRPG]

The mere act of holding them made her heart race.

These were beyond the usual trades; the low-quality Fireburst Balls in her possession were essentially acquired through underhanded means.

Both she and the Hive Queen understood this tacitly, but neither intended to openly acknowledge it. It was better left unspoken. However, expecting the other to provide free enhancements was pushing it.

But perhaps this was just part of the give-and-take of favors.

Athena's intention to head to the battlefield was apparent, and the Hive Queen showed no inclination to stop her.

"Let Agasi take you. It can carry you," Athena approached the Hive Queen, intending to raise this matter, only to find the Hive Queen beating her to it.

Agasi, with its helicopter-sized frame, could accommodate Athena comfortably. If they could drop such devastating weapons from the air and have Agasi defend against attacks, it would be a formidable alliance.

"Okay," the conversation was brief, just a few sentences.

As they departed, Athena remembered to thank the Hive Queen.

Agasi vibrated its wings discontentedly, tossing a few wind blades around. However, it couldn't disobey orders; that was out of the question.

Athena jumped directly onto its back. As Agasi ascended, Mikmik, curious, quietly nestled in Athena's embrace.

Athena couldn't help but chuckle softly. "You climb such tall trees without fear, yet your first time 'riding a helicopter,' you're suddenly afraid of heights?"

Mikmik played dead, and Athena didn't tease it further.

Agasi's speed was impressive, quickly outpacing the yellow Giant Bees behind and gradually approaching the central area.

The central region was in chaos, yet curiously devoid of corpses. The Giant Bees and Third World players, who had been battling each other, were now maneuvering around a large bird that had just arrived.

The bird spread its wings, each several dozen meters wide, tearing the airborne Giant Bees to shreds with sharp claws.

With its incredibly fast flight speed, it toyed with the Giant Bees endlessly.

But as more Queen Bees arrived, it ceased its mischief and ignored the ordinary Giant Bees and Third World players.

It stood guard near the Tree Monsters.

The remaining Giant Bees dared not act rashly, gradually realizing they were not welcome in this scenario. Some players were already considering retreat.

Having slain many Giant Bees, not only did they rise in the rankings, they could also exchange many things in the Contribution Store.

Thus, while some players withdrew, others remained, driven either by madness or greed.

Potato had been urging Ask-The-Heavens to flee from the sidelines, but Ask-The-Heavens remained unmoved throughout.

Relying on Ask-The-Heavens's combat prowess, scrolls, and various treasures, the two successfully entered the finals.

Potato now understood that Ask-The-Heavens was a complete madman.

Even with wounds bleeding profusely and on the verge of death, as long as there was breath in his body, he would continue fighting his opponent.

Only after killing the opponent would he slowly begin to heal his wounds.

He truly feared this guy, but he couldn't escape alone now.

The arrival of Athena and Agasi didn't attract much attention. The continuous influx of Giant Bees and successive Queen Bees no longer surprised them.

However, Agasi didn't head towards the Tree Monsters but stayed on the periphery with Athena. Some keen-eyed individuals noticed Athena on Agasi's back.

Her purple dot on the map hadn't disappeared because she hadn't participated in the melee recently, causing her ranking to drop further.

Now she had fallen to eighth place.

A dream shattered.

Many recognized her as the madwoman who had thrown the Fireburst Balls previously, causing some to be wary.

Moreover, she was now sitting directly on a Bee Queen's back, and the situation between them appeared quite amicable.

With three forces now in a standoff, no one dared to make a move because the fourth force was about to arrive...
