Let's Pull Off Something Big! 3/3

Notice the celestial divine power gathering above Olympus, gradually waning. Samael's lips curled into a pleased smile, knowing that the situation was now settled.

In fact, as early as when Hades told him that the core key to the "Taboo of the Gods" was still completely in Zeus's hands, Samael knew that he could not take control of this thing.

He slowly unlocked the key, erased the divine seal, and took the Titan Old Gods and Typhon monsters for himself, but there wasn't enough time.

Samael then thought, it doesn't matter if I can't open the door, I can just put another lock on the outside, and that will solve the problem.

If I can't get in, then Zeus can't command the monster of the [Taboo of the Gods] faction either way. Anyway, this card isn't mine, so we're not at a disadvantage.

So, during the two days that the ancient serpent stayed in the underworld, on the one hand, it erased the divine seals from the heroic Heroic Spirit of the human beings, and on the other hand, it secretly used its divine blood and the power of the Fate Tablet in the Elysium to seal the painstakingly prepared [Taboo of the Gods] in layers upon layers, and even installed a counterattack spell.

In desperation, Zeus grabbed the Thunderbolt Scepter, intending to awaken his old god army, but was instead outmaneuvered, which only accelerated his defeat.

As the ancient serpent bit Medusa's ear and secretly told her the reason with a smile, even the Goddess of Vengeance couldn't help but feel pity for the King of Gods.

"By the way, I've been wanting to ask this, why didn't I see those two brats, Euryale and Stheno, in the Arima Caves or Athens? Where did they go off to have fun again?"

As Samael climbed the rugged mountain path, he raised an eyebrow at Medusa and asked her a question.

"Well, they said they're tired of staying in Athens and the Arima Caves, it's boring, and they want to go out and explore."

The Goddess of Vengeance frowned and thought for a moment, then pointed to a remote island hanging in the ocean.

"The last time the students of the Athenian Academy saw them was apparently in the Kingdom of Minos on the Crete Island, where the sisters seemed to be about to enter some kind of labyrinth."

"The Labyrinth of the Minotaur?"

"Yes, this is it!"

"Is that so reckless?"

"That's not quite right. It seems they were invited by Pyrrha and Deucalion to explore and defeat the monsters hidden in the labyrinth, to rid the people of this menace. After all, it's said that there are many Minos in that place who went in and never came out."

"Forget it, let them be happy. Anyway, the immortality of these two brats is enough for them to have a few more wild nights. Besides, those two Progenitor of Humanity are not pushovers. In terms of familiarity with Crete Island, I guess no one knows it better than them."

Samael rolled his eyes, casually putting the trivial matter out of his mind, while also roughly guessing what had happened to Stheno and Euryale on their trip.

Ah, the Labyrinth of the Minotaur.

They simply brought back a stupid, adorable Minotaur from that godforsaken place who couldn't even speak properly.

With goddesses Euryale and Stheno possessing divine cores, and demigods Deucalion and Pyrrha as the Progenitor of Humanity, if they can't even defeat a mere minotaur, they might as well give up.

After temporarily calming his mind, Samael moved among the human heroes, using the rescue of the captured human prophet Prometheus as a rallying cry, encouraging them to win glory for this cause and establish this merit as human beings.

The heroes were in high spirits, and whether it was the Earth Guardians set up at the passes, the monsters that rushed out without thinking, or the mechanisms and autonomous Magecraft left by Olympus, they were all violently flattened.

Samael lagged behind the group, watching with great interest as the human heroes made their way to the summit. After giving Heracles, who was leading the group, a wink, he pulled Atalanta Medusa from the crowd and turned onto another path.

After several twists and turns, the three arrived at a secret realm where earthen-yellow light patterns floated. Medusa nodded slightly, raised her hand and gently touched the light barrier, and the blockade rippled out like water.

Led by this first Earth Mother Goddess, Samael gently patted Atalanta's slightly clenched fingers and pulled the eldest sister into the room.

After a burst of white light, the scenery suddenly opened up before my eyes: lush grasses, shady nurseries, and meandering streams. Some Nymph of all sizes were carrying water jugs, humming songs and dancing gracefully among the grasses, casually sprinkling sweet dew to nourish the plants.

This is a sacred garden belonging to Queen of Gods Hera. Rainbows rise and fall in the mist, and the dense ether almost condenses into a colorful fog of light, which is truly beautiful.

Among them, the most eye-catching is undoubtedly the tall and magnificent Golden Apple Tree with branches full of bright yellow fruit, the silver-white Hundred-Headed Dragon resting under the tree, and the three sisters of the Daughter of the Night God who climb up and down the dragon's back, directing the Nymph to work.

"Hey, Ladon, you're doing pretty well, huh? Alright, mission accomplished, come with me, let's pull off something big!"

Samael waved from afar, greeting him with a smile.

Upon hearing the voice of the Hundred-Headed Dragon, it shuddered and awoke from its slumber. When it saw the figures of Samael Medusa, a hint of joy filled its eyes.

However, as the ancient snake approached, La Dong's nostrils twitched, and his face became alert.

"Why do you smell like that thief? Where is he?"

"Oh, you mean the Colchis Dragon? He ran into the underworld to escape his debts. But once this is over, I can take you to catch that bastard and give him a good beating."

Samael lied without batting an eye and immediately sold another student.

Although he was deliberately left behind by Medea to be used by her and to protect the girl's safety.

But since he did such a terrible thing, he deserves to be punished by his own sister's righteous fist.

As for bribes? Those are stolen goods! Stolen goods should, of course, be confiscated!

Thinking of this, the ancient serpent didn't forget to come up with a legitimate reason for secretly pocketing the protection money from the Colchis Dragon.

However, with a class enemy like the Colchis Dragon, the enraged Ladon was quite cooperative, wishing he could immediately fly to the underworld, smash his brother's brains out, and reclaim his shiny little treasure.

"Then we..."

Seeing this, Medusa pointed to the summit of Mount Gaolusuo and spoke up to remind her.

However, Samael's Serpent Eyes blinked, his gaze greedily fixed on the sacred garden laden with rare and exotic fruits and herbs. He couldn't help but rub his hands together and mutter to himself with a smile.

"Look, we're already here..."

"It would be such a waste not to pull off a heist..."

Ladon naturally picked up the next line, then nodded in tacit agreement with a certain delinquent teacher, and began to plunder the treasures of the Holy Garden like a whirlwind.

Anyway, the area around Mount of Ares is mostly rock and quite empty, just lacking some vegetation and trees.

The funds were given to Athena, who had a bit of a collecting habit, and at the time, he and Ladon each received half.

However, this crazy act naturally drew gasps from the Nymph, and the three Daughter of the Night God had to step forward to stop it.

However, when the ancient serpent slyly revealed the radiance of the Nyx, Goddess of Night, the three little girls, who were Nyx's daughters, stared at each other wide-eyed, and could only sit and watch as the man and the dragon plundered them.

Although Samael's conscience hadn't completely gone bad, he still left some resources for the Holy Garden as decoration, preventing it from being completely depleted.

But after reaping a wave of Holy Garden's inventory, the Ancient Serpent began to target the other two parties.

One is the three Daughter of the Night God who are skilled at cultivating the Yu Grass, and the other is the long-lost Golden Apple Tree.

The former, persuaded by the promise of free room and board, easy work, and the ability to sneak out on weekends while guarding the garden, and the imprint of the outsider Nyx, decisively led a large group of Yucao Nymph to surrender.

Those who are humiliated by the latter are less likely to be so accommodating.

The moment he reached out his hand, the Golden Apple Tree lashed out with its branches, whipping him and clearly recognizing the greedy fellow.

Or, why don't we just dig this thing up and transplant it to Mount of Ares, and see how it dares to mess with us then!

Just as Samael was plotting maliciously, the sap of the Golden Apple Tree rustled and gently wrapped around Medusa and Atalanta's arms. Two Golden Apple detached from their stems and fell into their hands, clearly intending to use their fruit to entertain the two guests.

One is Mother Earth, and the other is a child nurtured by nature; they are certainly more popular than some wicked fellow.

Seeing that Medusa and Atalanta had accepted the gift, Samael suppressed his malice, waved goodbye to the devastated garden.

"Big sister, this is the real Golden Apple, green and pollution-free. Find some time to eat it."

Just before leaving, Samael patted Atalanta's shoulder with a bright smile.

As his fingers and palms fell down, the soft hand that moved to pull Samael's arm tightly.

No matter what his identity is or what secrets he has, he's still the same rascal I knew back then.

Atalanta smiled, the turmoil of the past few days vanishing, and her confidence and spirits soared.
