Hate Buff Acquired, Chance of Being Captured Increased! 4/5
No, it's just a joke, is it really worth taking it so seriously?
Moreover, the color scheme and shape of this thing not only attract hatred, but I feel that once you put it on, your chances of getting caught will increase tenfold.
Samael muttered to himself, while vaguely, the figure before him was being sculpted by combining various images of the War Goddess from his memory.
Sensing the faint pressure emanating from Athena, the ancient serpent glanced at Medusa, who was biting her cherry lips beside it, and its expression froze slightly.
This is not a good sign.
Therefore, Medusa would need to use her unique abilities to absorb the immortality and divine power within Euryale and Stheno in order to reach a level comparable to Athena.
Now, blessed by the Power of Earth, this Goddess of Wisdom possesses the three Origin Divinity earth, sky, and sea, and the gap between her Medusa is widening.
Once the two unite, Medusa will undoubtedly be devoured by Athena.
At that moment, Samael couldn't help but recall another legend about Athena.
In mythology, she is not only the goddess of the sky and the sea, but also known as the "Mother Goddess of Crete," and the Mycenae tablets refer to her as the "Mistress."
Coincidentally, Crete was the Origin Place of Zeus.
So, does Gaia's move mean that she will choose Athena as a second Zeus to raise, and regard this girl as the Mother Goddess of the first generation and her successor in the full sense?
If that's the case, then Medusa, with her flaws, would essentially be abandoned.
"My child, I will bless you. You will have the opportunity to enter Olympus. Even your father Zeus will not dare to make things difficult for you and will surely elevate you to a high position."
"So, are you willing to return to the Divine Court?"
At this moment, Gaia, the goddess on the Stone Throne, asked softly, causing Samael Medusa to freeze in their tracks and their hearts to tighten slightly.
Athena smiled slightly, her tone gentle yet defiant.
"Since birth, I have asked myself if I have done anything wrong, so I do not need the forgiveness and acceptance of that King of Gods."
Gaia paused slightly upon hearing this, and then offered her heartfelt advice.
"Olympus and become one of the Twelve Olympians. In the future, you will be even greater and more glorious than Zeus and the others."
The Goddess of Wisdom gently shook her head, blinked, and then half-embraced the arm of the Mother Goddess, swaying it slightly.
"You have blessed me as a mother, how can a mother drive her daughter away?"
"I would rather be by your side than Olympus."
"Moreover, if I am truly the gem you expect, I will shine no matter where I am placed."
Gaia glanced deeply at the Goddess of Wisdom beside her, her aura and colors seeming to brighten slightly as she spoke softly.
"Very well, you shall remain here for now as my Subordinate God. Even if Zeus and Typhon know of your existence, they will not be able to easily harm you under my protection."
Athena glanced down briefly, then leaned close to Gaia Earth Mother whispered something in her ear.
"Can I go to the Arima's Cave often?"
Gaia smiled and nodded in agreement, but seeing Athena's excitement, she patiently reminded her.
"However, before you go out and wander around, you need to learn how to protect yourself."
Faced with such lenient conditions, the Goddess of Wisdom naturally nodded in agreement, her heart bursting with joy.
That father Zeus, and his group of brothers and sisters, I don't know them well. It's too tiring to get entangled with them and play mind games every day.
Although she was protected by Gaia, the Earth Mother Goddess, and thus ranked among the Twelve Olympians, possessing extraordinary glory.
But turning to Olympus meant indirectly betraying his foster parents and his teacher Themis.
Zeus could choose not to cause trouble for her, for Gaia the Earth Mother, or for Themis, Goddess of Justice.
But this does not mean that he will spare Samael and Tina, the Serpent Mother family in the Arima's Cave, and his teacher Chiron.
The Greek Gods were quite petty.
This is precisely why she gave up the chance to rule Olympus and chose to risk everything to stay by Gaia's side.
Zeus had a wonderful daughter...
The Gaia, the Earth Mother Goddess shook her head inwardly and sighed softly.
There was something she didn't tell Athena.
When Zeus learned that his divine position would be threatened by Metis's child, he came to the temple and asked her to use the Law of Life to erase the child in the Queen of Gods's womb.
In her fury, she rebuked the Olympian King of Gods, who was equally ruthless in his pursuit of power, and threatened to strike him down.
If Metis gives birth to a daughter, she will bestow upon her the blessings of the earth.
If Metis had given birth to a boy, Zeus would have awaited the fulfillment of his curse and would have enjoyed the same suffering his father had endured Cronus.
Therefore, Zeus, in his fear, chose to devour Metis, thus solving the problem at its root.
Therefore, Athena's current family situation is not without its own reasons.
In addition, there was another matter that she had not told Zeus.
The Curse of the King of Gods Bloodline is not only directed at boys.
In both wars of the Old Gods, whether it was the six men and six women of the Twelve Titans or the three men and three women of Zeus's Six Siblings, the children actually participated in the rebellion against their fathers.
However, the succession to the throne is often undertaken by men who are more eager for power.
This time, however, he devoured Metis, leaving only his daughter, whose curse had been fulfilled.
Therefore, Zeus personally eliminated all other possibilities, leaving only this one answer.
Those who think they can control their own destiny are often the ones who are fooled by it.
"You intend to Olympus as a gesture of goodwill, in order to ensure the peace of the Arima's Cave?"
"Alright..."
Gaia's thoughts drifted back to the flickering, deep, and obscure light and mist. Then, she lowered her eyes and gazed at the three figures outside the stone gate, her lips parting in a deep contemplation.
"Therefore, Cerberus, the Three-headed Dog, will be tasked with guarding the Gates of the Underworld and obeying the commands of King Hades..."
"The Harpy remained on the Sea of Okeanos, receiving orders from Sea King Poseidon, and the wind god, to deliver messages..."
"Ladon, oversees the Sacred Garden of Olympus and is only accountable to King of Gods Zeus..."
"You are the children of Echidna, and in terms of kinship, you are of the same generation as Zeus and the others. Theoretically, only the three of them are qualified to command you."
"Get ready, take my divine oracle with you and set off. Hades, Poseidon, and Zeus will not make things difficult for you."
It seems that Athena's obedience laid the foundation for their future romance, and the Gaia, the Earth Mother Goddess made arrangements for the three Typhon's Offspring very readily.
Samael was quite satisfied with this, as he had gotten what he wanted.
Trading three destined little guys for leisurely jobs of eating and waiting to die in exchange for the opportunity to drag Olympus Lower Waters with them is not a bad deal.
However, with a family to support, he still had to be wary of that Divine Monster Slayer, Zeus's greatest illegitimate son— Heracles.
After all, even when Cerberus was with the Olympus Three Giants, he was still outmaneuvered, and Radon was still killed.
Be careful, nothing serious will happen.
