The Gods' Favor, Triple Greatness Hermes
Rovi eventually left.
Blessed by the Goddess Athena, they embarked on their journey.
As the next day's light faded and the moonlight gradually disappeared, Athena sat alone in the temple of Athens, gazing in the direction of Rovi.
"Athena, you're back?" A purple head peeked in from behind the veil.
"Medusa, come here."
Athena waved her hand.
"Yes, yes!" Medusa seemed a little timid, but she still mustered up her courage to walk in. However, as she walked in, she looked around and saw that the hall was empty. A strange disappointment flashed in the girl's eyes.
"Do you like him?" Athena asked.
"Yes, Lady Athena," the little girl-like Earth Mother Goddess replied cautiously. "He is benevolent towards us, just like that lady..."
"It seems you remember me clearly. Is it my fault?" The Goddess of Wisdom reached out and stroked Medusa's smooth, long hair.
"No, I don't blame you..."
"Is it not that you blame me, or that you dare not?" Medusa remained silent in the face of the light that shone in Athena's Ruby- like eyes.
Athena did not actually tell Rovi the whole truth.
That is, she did indeed banish the Medusa sisters, leaving them to wander in Gorgon.
However, when they were being attacked by Perseus, Enkidu happened to arrive and encountered the three sisters.
Enkidu rescued them and returned them to Athena, persuading Athena to change her mind—in this era, Subordinate God without protection cannot sustain themselves, because Subordinate God will fall into demonic form due to the changing times and then be defeated.
Especially Medusa, although she is the Earth Mother Goddess, her divine core is not actually complete. Without the nurturing of the Goddess's divinity, she would soon 'grow up'.
Yes—in fact, the legend of the Gorgon Sisters has existed for a long time, but it was covered up by Athena.
But why not speak directly with Rovi?
Perhaps, as he said, this is a bad reputation, so he doesn't want him to know!
As Athena gently combed Medusa's hair, her mind was filled with countless thoughts.
After all, this was the first time they had met someone whose wisdom even impressed and inspired awe in the Goddess of Wisdom...
"Fortunately, I will be able to sense his presence at all times from now on."
Thinking of this, Athena couldn't help but show a joyful expression, and an excited blush appeared on her delicate face.
The goddess's protection of Rovi did indeed conceal this fact.
I can sense its presence at all times, feel its wisdom at all times... etc., how come I can't feel it?
Athena's movement of combing Medusa's hair suddenly froze.
Is Qi Hu imprisoned?
And...
"Artemis, what are you doing peeking too!?"
She suddenly looked up at the moon, which had not yet completely disappeared in the early morning sky.
Artemis in the Moon Palace looked bewildered, as if she had just woken up.
Who are you?
The vast ocean, with its rolling waves crashing against the reefs, churning up patches of blue sea foam.
The sunlight shone on the water, creating ripples.
A small boat glides by, the sea winds howl on both sides, but its forward trajectory remains calm and undisturbed.
Rovi sat on the boat, the swirling clouds overhead shielding him from the blazing sun. He looked at the 'seafood' he had jumped onto the boat and the birds he had fallen from, his face expressionless, even somewhat amused and exasperated.
"That's enough, that's enough. Stop sending things. This little boat can't possibly carry that much." He wanted to say this to the 'sycophantic' deities.
Perhaps seeing that Rovi had helped Ares understand the justice of war and become a higher-ranking god, the other gods began to have their own ideas.
They wanted to curry favor with Rovi to gain benefits.
In this era of gradual decline of the divine age, no deity would not want to take another step forward to explore greater possibilities.
And so, the scene before us unfolded—the god of the sea protected him, the god of the sky shielded him from the scorching sun, the god of the sea made his journey smooth, and the god who controlled the wind propelled him toward his goal...
Even the ship he built was prepared for him by the god of the forest on the shore.
Ai Ai received the favor of the gods without doing anything, and in such a way...
"Haha, it seems you're troubled, Your Excellency?" A teasing voice rang in his ears, and without a doubt, Rovi knew who it was.
"Hermes, are you that bored?" Rovi glanced at him sideways.
"No, no, as God's messenger, it is my duty to check suspicious people; it is my job." The messengers of the gods, dressed like bards, appeared on the other side of the ship where Rovi was sitting.
"When you say something is suspicious, do you mean the gods are showering me with gifts?" Rovi pointed to the pile of 'gifts' on the ground.
"Who told you to do such a big thing? Promoting a god of war to a higher level is not something anyone can do—how about you let me be promoted as well, and I'll help you fend off these gods?" Hermes asked with a hint of anticipation. If even a god of war could be promoted, then making him a god of war should be a piece of cake, right?
Clearly, Hermes shared the same goal as those deities.
"You're dreaming." Rovi gave the messenger of the gods the middle finger.
Regardless of whether he foresaw Ares's incident beforehand, even if he could, it was only because Ares already had that kind of foundation.
Mars and Ares are the same god at different stages of the timeline.
Advancing is only natural.
How can you copy the same thing...? Hmm.
Rovi composed himself and looked at Hermes before him.
"I understand!"
Damn... what do you know?!
Rovi was startled.
"The middle finger symbolizes the spirit of a virtuous person; dreams are the manifestation of the soul... spirit and soul, intellect—"
"Reality, mind, spirit..."
"Triple Greatness, aha! I understand!"
You've got a complete idiot!
Rovi is numb.
She was the one who had traveled through time, so why was everyone else showing off while she was the one being shown off?
Who is the real protagonist?
However, it is clear that Hermes did indeed comprehend it.
Rovi also realized that Ares was not the only one with a strong foundation; Hermes was standing before him, had the same.
The creator of countless True Magic, the source of endless mystical schools, the god of Mercury, the embodiment of the Triple Greatness gods Hermes, Thoth, and Mercury —this seemingly carefree fellow.
Of course, unlike Ares, who was a god by nature, Hermes, although enlightened, could not immediately grasp the past and future.
After all, in this world, he is not yet a god, and his divine core is not enough to bear that kind of power.
But at least they know what to do.
"I will keep my promise and protect you from all divine harassment." Hermes stood up, his face beaming with excitement, and vanished into thin air.
Rovi shook his head.
The ship rose and fell with the tide, and land began to appear ahead.
Arcadia, we've arrived.
