Chapter 258
He set down the small, soft, and fragrant Anna, and said gently, "Once I complete the Twelve Labors, you will be completely free from the threat of the heroes!"
"But you will be in danger!"
Anna reached out and grabbed his sleeve, tilting her head back, her eyes filled with worry.
"Don't worry, I'm destined to save the world, I won't stop here." Nameless gently patted her little head.
Then, he waved goodbye to the three sisters and headed to another trial.
With the help of the Sea King, Nameless and Mashu left the island, riding the waves.
Stheno and Euryale exchanged a glance, looking at their sister with a mischievous grin. "My dear sister, you absolutely mustn't fall for him!"
"Huh, why?" Anna stared blankly at the two of them.
Stheno shook his head and sighed, "Don't forget, we are also cursed by the gods; once we lose our chastity, we will die!"
The Sea King merely promised to surround the island with storms and mist, forbidding all heroes from coming.
It cannot lift the curse.
"It seems there's no problem."
Euryale suddenly grinned mischievously and chuckled, "Like, going through the back door?"
The little girl looked completely bewildered.
Another goddess couldn't resist giving her a light punch.
The onlookers were instantly in an uproar.
They all felt a mixture of envy, jealousy, and resentment.
Unfortunately, the two older sisters' limited male ideals led to the creation of a decadent goddess—a "perfect idol" and an "ideal dream girlfriend."
It perfectly matches the limits of people's imagination of beauty!
As expected of the Nameless One, he once again accomplished something that no one else could do—he even managed to win over the Gorgon Sisters!
Tohsaka Rin, who was watching the video, couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "This guy is terrifying!"
As expected of Crowned Beauty, even the Gorgon Sisters couldn't stop her.
But,
That makes sense when you think about it.
All the heroes are madly in desire to possess the Gorgon Sisters, but Nameless only wants to break free from their curse.
A true hero who brings hope and light!
Just then...
The video feed changed, and yet another deity appeared before the nameless man.
She had porcelain-white skin, long, golden hair, and bright blue eyes.
He was walking barefoot on the waves.
A light gauze dress revealed her exquisite and perfect figure to the world.
Everyone who saw each other was instantly reminded of sweet romance.
Needless to say, this deity is none other than the God of Love.
Aphrodite!
She is considered one of the most beautiful deities.
She was once pursued relentlessly by Zeus, the King of Gods, but was cruelly rejected by her.
In the end, Zeus, in a fit of anger, betrothed her to Hephaestus, the ugly and lame God of Fire and Forging.
The goddess of love retaliated without hesitation, causing Hera, the queen of the gods, to punish Zeus's descendants and his lovers with ruthless cruelty.
During a brainstorming session.
Upon seeing the God of Love, Ishtar couldn't help but widen her eyes. "Damn it, this guy actually holds the same divine office as me!"
Yes, as a Mesopotamian deity, she also held the divine authority of [love] and [beauty].
Now the two of them are actually pretending.
Ishtar said smugly, "But luckily, I still possess the divine authority of war! This God of Love, however, can't even control her own marriage—how pathetic!"
"But you're also called a monkey by the nameless." Ereshkigal replied calmly.
When the two sisters first met Wuming.
This girl once wanted Wuming to confess his feelings to her, but Wuming immediately called her the Monkey King and said that it was impossible for them to date.
In addition, there's the scene in the later Singularity where she loses the Bull of Heaven and is ordered by the King of Heroes to hold the "[I am Trash Goddess]" clay tablet.
To this day, she is still widely referred to online as the Trash Goddess.
This is completely opposite to the nickname "Little Angel" given to Ereshkigal.
"Ugh, that damn Nameless bastard! One day I'll make him completely submit to my charm!" Ishtar couldn't help but grit her teeth.
In the video.
The God of Love of love, beautiful beyond compare, smiled and said, "Master from another dimension, the trial I give you is—defeat Atalanta in a running race!"
"... good!"
Wuming stared at the other person intently, but still nodded in agreement.
Atalanta, the Huntress, is famous for three things in mythology.
The first task is to kill the Calydean Boar.
The second thing was to become a crew member on the Argo.
The third thing is precisely the goddess's task—
A martial arts contest to find a husband—no, it's a running race to find a husband.
Only the one who can outrun her is qualified to marry her.
Ignoring the widespread concern among the audience--
[The stock market has opened! Wow, my social security Ta-nyan!]
[Place your bets now and see if Atalanta can actually make it to home base!]
[The trials of God of Love are clearly a case of Xiang Zhuang's sword dance aimed at Liu Bang; ostensibly a trial for the nameless, but actually intended to sow discord among the Moon God!]
[Yes, once Nameless wins the trial, he will have to marry Ta-nyan, which would completely break Ta-nyan's vow of lifelong virginity to the Moon God!]
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, some pleased, some worried.
An incredibly cute cat-eared girl appeared on the screen.
This appearance is arguably the most eye-catching in the entire <Olympian Gods> video.
This earned it the favor of countless viewers, who affectionately called it "Ta-nyan".
A wild and untamed Catgirl!
Her Father King, looked at her coldly. "Atalanta, as my daughter, you must marry a Great Hero. You can no longer be willful!"
"When you abandoned me, did you never think of me as your daughter?"
Atalanta glared angrily at the other party.
She was abandoned by her partner at birth, who only wanted a son.
Now, she hunts Calydean Boar with the Nameless One, joins the Argo, and makes outstanding contributions.
Then the other party shamelessly came up to claim kinship with them again.
A bastard father who only cares about his own interests and has no regard for her happiness or sorrow!
"Those are all things of the past. Tomorrow, a Great Hero Melanion, will arrive. We'll see how you perform then!" The king said coldly as he left.
That prince was from the neighboring kingdom, which was far wealthier than his own, and he brought cartloads of riches with him.
Marrying off a daughter you picked up off the street in exchange for the other party's wealth and military support is a huge win!
The king's despicable behavior disgusted countless viewers; they never imagined such a person existed.
Being the other party's daughter is truly a tragedy!
"What a bastard!" Tohsaka Rin couldn't help but sneer.
Ereshkigal nodded. "Indeed."
"Even I look down on him. If he wants wealth, he should go get it himself. Why sell his daughter?" Ishtar also curled her lip.
As a goddess who values wealth and jewels the most, she earned them all through her own abilities!
For example, driving away monsters that harass the people and collecting gems as commission.
Just then...
The nameless one has arrived.
He leaped in through the window and, under the Huntress's surprised gaze, whispered, "Long time no see, Ta-nyan."
Why are you here?
Atalanta wanted to take a few steps forward.
He glanced at the Shield Girl standing quietly beside him and stopped in his tracks.
But the upturned corners of his mouth betrayed his true feelings.
The nameless man replied quite frankly, "God of Love's test, letting me defeat you in a running race."
"Hmph, I knew you didn't come here specifically to see me!"
Atalanta's gaze suddenly sharpened. "My rule is that whoever defeats me in the competition must marry me. What do you intend to do?"
"Do you want to get married?" Wuming asked.
"Impossible! I swore to the Moon God that I would never marry anyone!"
Atalanta answered without hesitation.
Then, she paused, staring blankly at the other person.
Goddess Moon God, what should I do if this guy proposes to me?
Wuming smiled and said, "That makes things easier. If I win, you'll grant me one request!"
"Hmph, you can't possibly beat me!"
Atalanta held her head high with great pride.
Countless onlookers couldn't bear to watch.
People were scrolling through comments like "[Winning the game but losing life]", "[Tired of leeching off others]", and "[Xiao Zhi gives you a thumbs up]".
Why insist on refusing marriage when you could have gotten married?
The scene changes.
The match has finally begun.
Another contestant Melanion, stared blankly at the two. "I was here first, so why are you allowed to participate in the competition?"
Previously, in order to win over this extremely lovely Huntress, he had prepared a large sum of money to bribe the king.
Then he went to God of Love for help.
If you get three Golden Apples, you win the game.
But then this uninvited guest arrived!
"It's alright, we're in the same industry!"
The anonymous person patted him on the shoulder in a friendly gesture from behind.
Atalanta retorted coldly, "If you don't want to participate, then don't!"
"Okay, then the three of us will go together!"
Melanion gritted his teeth.
