Crybaby Athena [First Update]

"..."

Faced with Ye Ting's accusations, Athena could only respond with silence.

Just as Ye Ting had said, Athena herself did feel guilty about the Argonauts' sacrifices.

After quite a while, she finally spoke hesitantly.

"S-Sorry... I never expected things to develop to this point... I didn't mean for this to happen... There was a reason for it..."

"Yes, there was a reason," Ye Ting nodded, his tone still unfriendly. "But that was your reason, wasn't it? What do the conflicts between your pantheons have to do with us mortals? Why should mortals' blood be the price?"

"That was because... the Magic Pantheon was too ruthless..." Athena seemed to want to explain herself, but even she could not continue with such a reason.

"Snatching someone else's national treasure right in front of them—how could you people do something so shameless?" Ye Ting showed no mercy. "With such terrible guests, it would already be polite not to beat them to death on the spot. And you still think they were too ruthless? Can't you stand taking even the slightest loss?"

"..."

Athena was even more speechless.

After a long while, she said softly.

"Things have come to this... I have no way to bring the dead back to life. Then... is there anything I can do to compensate you? As long as it is within my power, I am willing to do it."

She was willing to compensate the Argonauts. It seemed Athena still had some conscience.

Yet Ye Ting still shook his head.

"Compensation? What can you compensate? Can the dead really be replaced by some trifling compensation?"

Ye Ting's words made Athena even more ashamed, and what he said next struck straight at the heart of the matter.

"Besides, this so-called compensation is only your personal intention, isn't it?"
