Medusa Gets Her Revenge

Lucifer's eyes narrowed as he focused his energy, channeling his power into the young woman. The snakes in Medusa's hair began to recede, transforming back into flowing locks, though her eyes retained a reptilian quality. The transformation was halted, and Medusa retained the ability to turn anyone to stone with a single gaze.

Athena, though silent, stepped back, her expression a mixture of frustration and contemplation. She understood Lucifer's point and knew that Poseidon was the true culprit. However, her pride prevented her from offering an apology. Instead, she turned away, her mind already plotting ways to seek retribution against Poseidon for defiling her sacred temple.

Lucifer gently lifted Medusa to her feet, his presence radiating a sense of calm and protection. "Medusa, you are safe now," he reassured her. "I have halted the transformation, but you must be cautious. Your gaze now holds great power. Use it wisely."
