How to Screw Over Your Allies 2/3

Inside the Temple of Mount of Ares, Athena smiled, swirling her cup as she spoke eloquently.

"As the creators, the Mother Goddess Euryonome and the Father God Ophion were gradually replaced by the rebellious Titans and became legends forgotten in history."

The emblem of birds is inherited by me; the continuation of the serpent emblem resides in Medusa; the chaos and order that followed creation shall be judged by justice and law—this is the truth of the world!

Being elevated to the status of the Greek creator god Samael left him somewhat bewildered. Such an extraordinary promotion made him inexplicably uneasy.

"Cough, is it really that bad?"

However, inside the temple, Athena, with righteous indignation and a solemn expression, chanted.

"Of course! You created humankind, expanded the territory, and established the capital;

You have torn the sky from darkness and brought light and fire;

You have taken away calamity and disease from the earth and calmed the raging floods of the sea;

You establish order, perfect the laws, and bestow the authority of God upon mankind!

For us, for humanity, you and Tina are the undisputed gods of creation in this world! The uncrowned kings!

At the same time, Medusa and Themis exchanged a glance and silently rose.

The Three Goddesses stood side by side, bowing in reverence to the figure a thousand miles away, their expressions filled with heartfelt admiration.

Humanity was born because of you, and the world was changed because of you!

You have always been our God, our King!

It's always been like this!

Inside the speeding carriage, the connection between the snake incarnation and the dragon abruptly ended. Samael tilted his head back, his eyes brimming with complex emotions, which were brewing and surging. His fingers were tightly clenched under the seat, his knuckles turning slightly white.

"What's wrong? Are you alright?"

Atalanta noticed the commotion, immediately put down her book, and couldn't help but ask with concern.

Samael gazed quietly at the Huntress, a strange glint in his eyes, until Atalanta felt a little uncomfortable, before he chuckled and spoke.

"It's nothing, I just remembered something."

By the way, take a good look at the masterpiece I created.

The ancient snake murmured to itself, driven by intense emotions, it lifted the curtain of the carriage window and watched the rapidly receding fields, villages, pedestrians, and roads.

Everything became vibrant and colorful, and everything seemed much closer.

Unbeknownst to me, I have done so much for humanity and for this world.

It turns out that, from beginning to end, they remembered and believed in all the efforts they had made and the forbearance they had endured.

Yes, having sailed from Mesopotamia and broken through endless chaotic storms, the beast I ride is not a calamity, but an ark of salvation!

After a long silence, Samael let out a long sigh, expelling all the filth he had carefully accumulated over thousands of years, and reawakened his serpentine form. He looked at the Three Goddesses who stood quietly smiling, his eyes filled with tenderness.

"You all worked so hard while I was away, and... thank you for your hard work..."

The ancient snake came to its senses, but kept repeating its own emotions over and over again.

"Smack!"

Athena gently patted her hand, interrupting Samael's monotonous murmur. Like a little fox who had just stolen a chicken, she raised the corners of her lips, revealing a mischievous smile.

"Alright, you yourself issued the decree: [Divine power is bestowed at birth; divine duty is performed from beginning to end!] Now that you have been honored, it is your turn to fulfill your duty!"

"Father God, the journey ahead will depend on you finding Paradise Island, breaking the curse on the human hero's fate, and bringing about change to the world!"

Samael nodded seriously, his expression solemn and calm.

"Since I truly deserve the title of Ophion, then there are some things I will naturally take on without hesitation!"

Then, entering a certain state, the ancient snake raised its ten fingers and rhythmically tapped the wooden board of the seat in the carriage. After a few thoughts settled in its eyes, it burst forth with confidence and arrogance in controlling the rhythm.

"Athena, Poseidon, and Hera are in league with each other. They can be used, but not relied upon. We should keep them in the cold until we uncover Zeus's trump card."

"No problem. Didn't we just publicly humiliate Poseidon in Arcadia? Zeus won't believe that Mount of Ares and the Sea God Temple will join forces against him."

"So, Hippomenes was Poseidon deliberately threw out? And that whole Arcadia affair was something you conspired to pull?"

"No, of course a slap in the face has to be a real slap. If you can't even fool yourself, how can you expect to fool Zeus? Anyway, I've long disliked Poseidon and those rapist descendants. I had nothing better to do, so it was only right to give him a beating. Besides, we were just following procedure. He brought it on himself and got cleaved by Ares. Can you blame us for that?"

"So you believe that even if Poseidon's face is swollen, he'll still obediently come to you and seek an alliance?"

"Father, let alone the death of a great-grandson who had some divine favor, even if I killed seven or eight of his own sons, my uncle would be willing to pretend he didn't see anything for the sake of Olympus power. The King of Gods Bloodline is obsessed with power to the point of madness. If we don't let him take a gamble, there's no cure."

Athena gazed meaningfully at the sea, her expression a hint of mockery, her tone utterly certain.

Ha, thinking about it, it really is true.

Unlike Hades, who was far removed from the power circles of Olympus and played a single-player game in the abyss, Hades, who gained the Authority over the Seas, had to bow and Poseidon before Zeus every day and had long harbored resentment and dissatisfaction.

Thus, in Samael's memory, the power struggle between Poseidon and Zeus never ceased, except that the Sea King won more often than he lost, and was always being taught a lesson.

Even after witnessing Athena's power at the Battle of Typhon, Poseidon shamelessly went to Athens to harass his niece, Athena, expressing his desire to marry her in order to gain Athena 'Goddess of Wisdom help in overthrowing his brother Zeus.

Therefore, given the slightest opportunity, this Sea King will definitely "put aside past grievances" and come to cooperate.

After a moment of contemplation, Samael grinned sinisterly as he began to scheme against these "allies" who were still in the trap.

"Hera said that she was only acting out of jealousy and resentment towards Zeus's promiscuity. In a moment of anger, she made this thoughtless choice."

As for her two sons, Ares and Hephaestus, it's almost certain they won't easily participate in a rebellion or betray their father Zeus. Furthermore, this Queen of Heaven has been rejected by the Mother Goddess authority due to her actions, so she's weak and not a threat. If necessary, I'll help her most hated Heracles, using him as a catalyst to prevent Hera from using this tool to renege on her promise.

That's so mean!

Medusa and Themis couldn't help but twitch their lips, feeling inexplicably sorry for the goddess whose marriage was unhappy.

As expected of you!

On the contrary, Athena gave a thumbs up, revealing an expression of great agreement, and nodded approvingly with a smile.
