Triple Goddess Alliance 1/4

Several days later, Samael had fully recovered from his injuries, and the three of them traveled swiftly, soon arriving at a vassal state on the border of the Kingdom of Calydon.

However, upon pausing to calculate, Atalanta was surprised to find that, due to their faster pace, there was still some time before the day when Prince of Calydon Meleager of Calydon would summon the Greek Heroes to jointly subdue the Boar.

Outside the city, the three parties discussed the matter and ultimately decided to temporarily reside in a city-state closer to the capital to rest and recuperate, while waiting for the Calydonian Hunt to approach before making further plans.

The Huntress wholeheartedly agreed, since they had nothing to show for their efforts if they rushed over now, and she would feel very uncomfortable if she accepted their hospitality.

After making a quick decision, the three assigned tasks. Atalanta volunteered to find a place to stay, while Samael and Circe were pushed and shoved away to buy supplies and gather information about the Calydonian Boar.

At the corner, Samael watched Atalanta, carrying a large bag, stride swiftly out of the inn, and chuckled, shaking his head.

Although Atalanta took on the most troublesome task because of her guilt and pride.

On the other hand, this valiant and clear-headed huntress is becoming more and more integrated into the role of the big sister, and has become accustomed to taking care of him and Circe, the two "vulnerable" groups.

Only when Atalanta's figure disappeared from sight did the ancient serpent reluctantly withdraw its gaze, wave to Circe, and wander through the city, subtly gathering intelligence.

Of course, the news about the Calydonian Boar was just a side note; Samael's main purpose was to find out and fill in the gaps in the historical process after he took Pandora's Box.

After a busy morning, the ancient snake noticed that Circe, who was with him, was looking rather listless, so he took her to a restaurant to rest and have a meal.

Although the level of refinement of the food was not as high as that of Samael.

However, the abundance of land-based ingredients and the sweet and sour flavors favored by the Greeks also suited Circe's taste, so this great Witch of Ayu Island ate very happily.

The ancient snake sitting opposite him leaned against the corner, resting its finger on the table and tapping rhythmically.

Is this what that guy's thinking habit is like? So, it's a waste not to eat things while they're hot.

Circe glanced at it, then quietly shoveled a plate of pastries—made of wheat flour coated in grape jam and fried until crispy and sweet—in front of himself.

However, Samael was clearly not paying much attention to the Witch's little tricks, because he was busy sorting out the clues of that blank period of history.

Centuries ago, Pandora's Box was unearthed, plunging humanity into a catastrophe and leaving them in grave danger.

At the critical moment, he transformed into his original form, swallowed Pandora's Box and all the evil it contained, and threw it into the Sea of Okeanos, thus preserving the continuation of humanity.

Athena, Themis, Medusa stepped forward to fight against the power of Olympus.

When humanity performed Great Sacrifice, awakening Earth Mother Gaia, the situation reversed.

This farce ended with Gaia seizing Zeus's weakness, reprimanding him, and forcing him to swear an oath to Goddess of Oaths Styx, promising to abandon his pursuit of justice and acknowledging the established fact of the continuation of humankind.

The matter of Pandora's Box was thus concluded.

After this whole charade, even the gods, whose interests were long intertwined with human faith, have turned against him.

This made Zeus even less interested in continuing to torment mankind. Later, in his despondency, his old lewdness relapsed, and he transformed into a white bull, seduced the beautiful Europa, and hid on the Crete Island where he had grown up, indulging in desire every day and forgetting all about home.

But at this very moment, Typhon, King of Divine Monsters who had been plotting for a long time, seized the opportunity to rise from the abyss to the surface of the earth, summoning rebellious monsters and Titans to attack Olympus.

Without Zeus's coordination, and with the gods already having some rifts due to their struggle for faith, the group was leaderless and suffered repeated defeats, with countless gods dying or being killed.

Even some of the main gods wavered, considering transforming into animals and fleeing to avoid the limelight.

Just as the Pantheon, which held the dignity of the Olympus gods, was about to fall, three goddesses appeared out of nowhere and turned the tide, becoming the core pillars that resisted the onslaught of Typhon's army.

With the arrival of reinforcements, the gods had a chance to catch their breath. Encouraged, they steadied themselves and resisted fiercely, while sending Hermes, the God of Speed, to search for Zeus.

Finally, upon receiving the news, the Olympian King of Gods the gods, startled, tore through the black mist that clouded perception on the Crete Island, used the weak humans to approach Typhon, reclaimed the Thunderbolt Scepter, and, together with the Olympian Gods, won the final victory.

After this battle, the Olympian Gods, who had been showing signs of falling apart, were brought together once again.

His crucial act of taking sides can be said to have saved the Three Goddesses of Olympus, and he also rose to fame.

That's right, these three are Themis, Athena, and Medusa.

During the invasion of Typhon, it was Athena persuaded and lobbied the other two to make their choice.

Afterwards, Zeus rewarded her according to her merits, and upon learning Athena's identity, he generously offered to share his power with his daughter.

At the same time, Olympus bestowed upon her the title of War Goddess, placing her among the Twelve Olympians.

As for the other gains of Themis Medusa, they were much more meager.

Defection and division? Zeus, you've got guts to offer half your power as a reward!

But you only think that way because she's a daughter who has no right to inherit, right?

Samael stroked his chin, clearly aware of the plans in the mind of this Olympian King of Gods.

He could guess the general idea, Goddess of Wisdom could naturally see it clearly as well.

Whether you can see it clearly or not is one thing, how you do it is another.

Ultimately, Athena accepted only the divine roles of wisdom and war, swearing to become the patron goddess of Athens.

After the war, she not only refused to stay on Olympus, but also gave up her exalted status as Twelve Olympians.

Left with no other option, Zeus chose Dionysus who had also contributed to the War of Olympus, and elevated him to the position of Twelve Olympians to fill the vacancy.

Soon after, Athena returned and, on a mountain northwest of the Acropolis of Athens, together with Themis, Goddess of Justice, and Medusa the Goddess of Vengeance, formed the Council, swearing to maintain the order between gods and humans.

Because the divine authority over war was divided, Ares, God of War, who was dissatisfied with this, and Poseidon, God of the Sea who coveted the Athens, went to provoke each other.

As a result, she was defeated by Goddess of Wisdom Athena, and Themis, Goddess of Justice.

After that, those who had been watching realized that the goddesses in the Council were not to be trifled with, so they quieted down for a while, and Athens entered a period of vigorous development.
