I Won't Be a Virgin Goddess Anymore, Rovi!

Ereshkigal knew the name Ereshkigal. Athena arrival of the King of Heroes of Uruk had also made the Greek gods wary of their 'neighbor' whom they had met before.

The Olympian Gods studied the human civilization of Uruk, and they also studied their mythology.

Therefore, Athena knew that Ereshkigal was the Mistress of the Underworld among the gods of Uruk, much like Hades in Greek mythology. She also knew that in the conflict between gods and humans that had occurred on that land, the mistress of the underworld ultimately chose to stand with Rovi and the three kings of Uruk, and together they drove the gods away.

But apart from that, what Athena was most concerned about was still the romance between Rovi and Ereshkigal.

Legend has it that before falling into the Sea of Void, Rovi traveled back and forth to the Underworld countless times to meet with the Underworld Goddess.

Legend has it that the goddess was the only deity that the Sage Rovi explicitly expressed his affection for.

legend...

Too many legends flashed through Athena's mind.

Although the passage to the other side of the world vanished in an instant, and the light and shadow deep within Tartarus quickly disappeared, countless chaotic thoughts still surfaced in Athena's mind at that moment.

"Nordic... I'll remember that." Rovi murmured, then looked at the tightly bound Cronus: "Are you in cahoots with them?"

"Pfft, hahaha—this time, I admit defeat. It doesn't matter if I tell you." Cronus laughed loudly.

Tartarus, as the lowest level of the Greek worldview and the Planet Forge, was inherently connected to any place in the world.

After Zeus imprisoned them here, he left them to their own devices, and the Titans dared not show their faces again.

However, even within Tartarus, they never abandoned their desire and ideal of restoring the earth. Furthermore, fearing the power of Zeus and the Olympian Gods, they turned to Tartarus and joined forces with another being in a different region.

"We have found beings located in the region north of Greece. Their world is connected by the World Tree and is divided into nine layers. The top layer is the residence of the contemporary gods, and the bottom layer is where they—who call themselves the Primordial Gods, and like us, are called giants."

"I approached their progenitor, the Ymir the Giant, and promised that if they successfully helped us seize the land, we would also help them and destroy the gods at the top of the World Tree."

"The giants you just saw were all created by us using the modules they gave us, combined with the power of us gods!"

The Titan Giants were formed by combining the bodies of the Norse Giants with the power of the Titans.

They are of the same origin.

Rovi Wei understood. "Are you telling me all this now in the hope that the Olympian Gods will shift the conflict outside?"

"That's right," Cronus said without denying it.

The Greek gods, who had experienced the chaos of the Harvest Star Vanguard, would certainly think that the threat from external enemies outweighed the internal troubles.

Therefore, if the story of the Norse Giants were told to them, they would surely launch a divine war against the Norse Giants, and Cronus would be able to find an opportunity to lie low again.

"In any case, neither you, nor any of you, nor any of them can kill me!"

"For we Titans have long been closely connected with Tartarus!"

"Unless you can truly devour Tartarus completely, you will never be able to erase any trace of our existence!"

His roaring laughter stirred up waves of boiling flames within Tartarus, crashing like waves against the shore, with sparks flying everywhere.

But to be honest, looking at Cronus's appearance, Rovi was somewhat hopeless.

He had already given up on it.

No longer wanting to fight back, nor wanting to kill Rovi, He only wanted to find an opportunity to lie low again, continue to accumulate strength, and wait for the right moment.

This is exactly what Rovi least wants.

"It's a pity, but—"

"Come here."

Rovi's voice rang out, echoing through the the Abyss of Tartarus. Accompanied by a clamor, the Titan Giants had just fallen and been engulfed by the flames suddenly rose to their feet.

They obeyed Rovi's will and slowly approached Cronus from all directions.

"Come here," Rovi said again.

The Lock of Heaven tightened, its faint light rippled, and the light of the King's Treasure, the source of the connection, suddenly became even more intense.

The words "Come here" echoed from all sides.

Cronus's attitude shifted from initial sneer and disdain to doubt, and finally to terror.

Despite being a machine, its steel face displayed an extremely human-like expression.

He... was afraid.

Because Rovi received the power of the Titan Giants in Yang, which suppressed his weakened state, and because the Lock of Heaven and the King's Treasure Rovi the source of the vortex, causing his power to continuously drain away, and because Rovi's own primordial aura, as vast as the ocean, was devouring him!

"Using His Spear to Attack His Shield..."

"I am not enough to devour Tartarus on my own. So, what if I add you?" Rovi laughed. "Since you don't want to fight me to the death, then let me devour you and Tartarus together right here!"

What Rovi lacked in Devouring the Abyss was scale, a sufficiently large 'base'.

Cronus, who was above the chief gods at his peak, had this foundation. Even if his weakness caused his foundation to be empty, as long as it could bear the weight, that was enough.

Tauren devours Tartarus...

It could also lead Rovi down the path to death!

Because that is a force that no living organism can bear.

But Rovi always flocked to it.

Like the creation of the world, a feat that requires sacrificing oneself once can bring eternal peace.

But how could Cronus possibly give in?

The immense pressure resurfaced, and the power of the ruling god manifested.

They were locked in a stalemate for a moment.

"Humans—"

"You shall pay ten thousandfold for your sin of disrespect to the gods!"

"Kill him, goddess of Olympus!" Cronus struggled, but could only maintain the stalemate. In the constant stalemate, he could feel himself growing weaker and weaker.

There's nothing we can do about it, since that's how it is...

"If I can't control you, then I'll control her!"

In that instant, Cronus turned his domineering power toward Athena, the War Goddess who had been silent from the very beginning, behind Rovi.

The so-called power of domination is actually a kind of subconscious suggestion.

Follow their inner thoughts, make them see you as their closest person, and make them submit to your arrangements.

In that instant, Cronus sensed Athena's turbulent heart, and felt the inexplicable restlessness and unease she felt because of Ereshkigal's presence.

'What are you worried about?' A deep voice echoed in Athena's mind.

What was she worried about? She was worried... would Ereshkigal's appearance drive Rovi away from her forever? She was worried that the wise man would distance himself from the Goddess of Wisdom...

What is causing your worry?

Why? Why... because the Goddess of War and Wisdom is naturally drawn to 'heroes' who are both wise and brave?

But in the past, Athena had encountered outstanding heroes, and she was indifferent to them, yet she had never felt this way before.

Face your inner self; don't be constrained by your status.

My identity is the Goddess of War and Wisdom. I am the goddess of Athens, the goddess who swore to Zeus to remain a virgin forever... the Virgin Goddess?

Am I bound by this?

'Now, believe me.' A joyful light emanated from Cronus's resounding will, for He knew that Athena had obeyed His will: 'Follow your will, you who stand before you—'

Athena took a slow step.

Rovi glanced sideways to see Athena's reaction.

The Olympus Goddess of Wisdom and War remained as dignified as ever in white, but her scarlet eyes held a hint of bewilderment.

She was dominated by Cronus.

The power of Cronus is ineffective against Rovi, but it is still useful against Athena!

"Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!"

"Use your most powerful means—"

Cronus became excited.

Rovi Wei pondered, "To die at the hands of a controlled Athena is not glorious, but it seems I can still be honored."

It's... okay?

Rovi's eyes widened, and a gentle warmth swept over his face in an instant.

Athena not only didn't kill him, but at that moment... she slightly tiptoed and kissed him.

Cronus: "?"

Is it you or me who's acting strangely?

But Rovi could see it clearly... In the instant she got close, Athena's eyes regained their clarity.

She was awake!

The key is to face your own heart and not be bound by your identity...

"I like you, the kind of love that humans have." Athena's lips curved into a happy smile.

She wrapped her arms around Rovi's body, removed her hard, cold armor, and let her light gauze dress flutter, clinging to Rovi's body. She lifted her slender waist and arched her hips upward, as if searching for something, seeking comfort. Rovi, who was locked in a stalemate with Cronus, also seemed unable to move.

No more hiding it, no more making excuses for myself to be attracted.

I like it, that's all.

In that instant, she felt as if something had been lifted off her body.

From this moment on, the gaze fixed upon him became completely clear.

She saw herself in the future, not the goddess of Olympus, not the three Virgin Goddess, nor the guardian of the Greek city-state.

The character is the one in ancient Greek prophecy who will eventually replace Zeus.

The fourth King of the Gods—

Athena.

Similarly, at that very moment, Rovi received the support of Athena's power from the heavens, completely suppressing Cronus's struggle.

Buzz... Buzz... Buzz... The ancient Atlantis Mechanical God's personality began to go awry, just as a human was about to fall into a coma.

He widened his eyes slightly, looking at the embracing man and god, and finally uttered only two words: "Holy crap."

"Holy crap!" Mount Olympus and hadn't yet had time to switch personalities Zeus, exclaimed the same thing, "What the hell happened to Athena? She's the Queen of the Gods!"

Hera, Queen of Heaven standing beside her. "..."

I don't recognize this big guy.
