"Hmm, we've been found out."

At that moment, a playful chuckle came from the woods. A silver-haired goddess, bathed in moonlight and amidst fallen leaves, approached with a smile, her azure eyes giving Samael and Atalanta a teasing look.

The Huntress rose without making a sound and quietly bowed, placing her hand on her chest.

"Lady Artemis, you've arrived..."

"Tch, when we used to sleep together, you always called me 'Sister Diana,' and now that we've only been apart for a few days, you've already broken up with me like this? Have you forgotten your promise to protect my chastity?"

Artemis stopped, clutching her chest, her face filled with resentment. She then raised her hand to cover her eyes, looking utterly heartbroken and on the verge of tears.

"Well, before we talk about this, let's put away the evidence on your chest first, it will be more convincing."

Samael leaned against the tree trunk and pointed irritably at a brown bear plush toy inside Artemis's collar that swayed back and forth with her movements.

"Oh, that's true..."

The Moon Goddess lowered her fingers, revealing eyes that hadn't shed a single tear. She blinked, thought for a moment, nodded seriously, and then tucked the precious token of love into the valley. Then, like a wronged woman who had been abandoned, she continued to wail.

"Little Ata, my devout hunter, my beloved little lion, how can you bear to betray your faith for this man?"

Samael leaned against a tree, arms crossed, back, and sneered as he exposed his friend's dirty secrets.

"Hey, Artemis, don't you feel any remorse saying that? I seem to remember you selling the leader to Mount of Ares to save your old flame Oryx?"

"Don't pretend to be innocent! You yourself are the mastermind behind Mount of Ares! Not only did you steal my Ata, but you also stole my beloved Oryx!"

"Oryx? I'm not interested in men! When have I ever touched your lecherous bear?"

"Isn't it because you dumped a ton of tasks on him, causing my darling to leave my side and not even have time to spend with me!"

"Bullshit! Ai Ai requested it himself. I thought this guy was quite sensible, but it turns out he just wanted to lay low. Hmm? Wait a minute, so after all this time, you came here to spy and cause trouble just for revenge?"

"No way, that's slander! They're just concerned about their followers, aren't they?"

"Ha, I don't believe you for a second. You betrayed your believers for your old lover. For a goddess to go to such lengths is a disaster for faith."

"Tch, you're not much better. You were the one who bought it, weren't you? Theseus, the prince of Athens? You're quite the actor! You were hiding your identity, getting closer to my Ata, plotting against her, causing trouble for seven days and seven nights. You're really something, especially since your lover is right next door to me, it's unbelievable..."

Bang! Bang!

Just as the two deities were exposing each other's shortcomings and spewing rage, a pair of righteous iron fists with bulging veins, unable to bear it any longer, smashed into the heads of the two men.

"You two had better stop!"

The Huntress gritted her teeth, her last shred of reverence for the gods vanishing under the torment of the two clowns. The veins on her forehead throbbed like menacing earthworms, and her snarling gaze was like that of a feline predator holding its prey.

"Tsk, I used to hold you when you were little, how heartless."

"Ahem, I was just defending myself, I'm innocent."

The two suspects confessed without being asked; one complained, and the other defended himself.

Click!

Atalanta unconsciously increased the force in her hands, breaking the branches. Her pretty face, covered in ice shards, was filled with a chilling aura, and her emerald green eyes looked down at the two people who were crouching and defending themselves with their heads in their hands.

"If you keep rambling, I might lose control and—kill a god!!!"

Suddenly, under the watchful gaze of the feline, a chill ran through them. Both Artemis and Samael felt a cold shiver down their spines and obediently shut their mouths.

"Your Highness, please understand the hardship of believers' daily prayers and maintain a proper demeanor in public!"

"And you, as the commander-in-chief of the allied forces, should be even more careful with your words and actions so that you can gain the trust of more subordinates!"

Felines under the moonlight, like a lioness strolling gracefully through the forest, exude majesty in every movement.

The two gods, caught red-handed, shrank back, feeling guilty and remorseful, and obediently listened to the scolding without daring to question anything.

"I'm going to continue the patrol! You two, if you have nothing better to do, then you should reflect on your actions!"

After gritting her teeth and letting out a cold snort, Atalanta, as if catching prey, domineeringly drew her quiver from the Moon Goddess's waist, then summoned the sacred beast brown bear and leaped towards the front line.

Once the Huntress's figure had completely disappeared into the forest, the two gods patted their chests with relief, letting out a sigh of relief. Then, they looked at each other and chuckled to themselves.

"I should tease her less in the future. Even I can't handle a feline when it gets angry."

"She started avoiding me after she revealed her identity. Am I that scary?"

"I feel like I'm avoiding you not because I'm afraid, but because my faith has collapsed and I can't bear to look at you?"

Samael's follow-up attack caused the complaining Moon Goddess to turn pale and catch her breath.

After soaking in the Sea of Okeanos thousands of years, how come this serpent's mouth is still so venomous?

Having been insulted, Artemis knew she couldn't beat the other side, so she viciously swung her fist behind someone's back as a way of venting her anger.

"Alright, let's get serious. I'll remove the divine seal for you right now and free you from Zeus's control."

Samael glanced at the faint silver-white lightning-shaped mark on Artemis's forehead, then helplessly raised his hand, revealing Cuneiform Rune containing the Authority of Destiny between his fingers, and couldn't help but complain angrily.

"Speaking of which, since Athena, how come you were all forced to have your divine marks branded by Zeus? Even if you resisted individually, there's no reason for you to fall so quickly. I was hoping for an internal conflict in Olympus to split the country, but look what happened, you've all been delivered to the ground in just three hours."

However, before the ancient serpents could resonate with the Authority of Destiny, his raised fingers were slapped away by Artemi.

Under Samael's astonished gaze, the Moon Goddess adopted a solemn expression, raising her head in deep thought.

"That's because we voluntarily had the divine mark implanted in us."

"Huh? You took the initiative? Did I hear that right?! This thing on your foreheads is the deadly thing that erodes your divine authority, turns you into puppets, and puts you at the mercy of Zeus!"

Samael rubbed his forehead, offering a somewhat incredulous reminder.

Artemis, who personally participated in Oryx's rescue plan, could not possibly be unaware of the existence of the [Taboo of the Gods] and the function of the divine seals.

Breaking free from the divine authority of Zeus, the dictatorial patriarch of Olympus, and gaining freedom has always been the pursuit of these "filial children" and "loving brothers."

In conclusion, from Athena's retreat from Olympus to Zeus uniting the gods and descending to earth anew, in just three hours, how did the thoughts of these chief gods take a 180-degree turn, and how did they all willingly have their divine seals planted by Zeus?

Could it be the legendary forced consent?

"In fact, besides controlling the soul, the divine seal can also maintain that undying flame when we encounter a devastating blow, allowing it to flow back into the Loom of Fate of fate for this world."

As long as Greece exists, and as long as the lineage of the gods has not been broken, we have a chance for a new revival.

The reason why the Heroic Spirit who reside in the Pure Land of Elysium can be resurrected with the help of the Ley Lines is precisely because of this.

"This action by the god of war gives us an extra layer of protection in the War of the Giants."

Similar to Mesopotamia, the Fate Tablets inscribed with the genealogy and Spirit Origin of the gods, Samael suddenly understood.

Even so, he was still not at ease entrusting his life to Zeus.

After all, the current situation is a matter of good intentions, but the future is uncertain.

"By the way, I'm here to tell you that while you were desperately fighting the giants for three hours, Olympus was lighting the Sacred Flame, summoning all the gods back, and inscribing divine marks on the Loom of Fate. Our preparations have never stopped."

Artemis rose, gently brushed a few withered leaves off her body, and murmured in a solemn tone.

Is this destiny under Zeus?

Samael narrowed his eyes slightly, a strange glint appearing deep within his pupils, before speaking in a low voice.

"You really believe in Zeus that much?"

"The Titans led us to victory in the Titan War, and in the Battle of Typhon, and they will lead us to victory in this final War of the Giants! To forge the glory of Olympus! Then, it will not be too late to argue about right and wrong."

Artemis, bathed in moonlight, lightly plucked the strings of her zither, scoffed arrogantly, and exuded unparalleled confidence in her eyes.

"How did Greece survive before the birth of humankind? Ha! Don't think we can just hide behind mere humans and reap the benefits. You underestimate the gods!"

Just as the ancient serpent was deep in thought, the Stormy Sea Region, which had been silent for half a day, suddenly burst open with dazzling halos. The vast starry sky gathered thousands of rays of light and projected them onto the colorful cocoon through a silver, tear-shaped celestial body.

In an instant, heaven and earth resounded, and the aura of the three emerging Star-Seeded Soldier rose steadily, their star patterns becoming more numerous and dazzling, thus triggering a violent Aether Tide, seemingly breaking through a certain critical point.

Oh no... Phase four!

Samael and Artemis gazed at the surging, turbulent sea, their pupils contracting sharply, and they instantly transformed into streaks of light, rushing towards the camp.
