Orion's Arrow was not forged by celestial blacksmiths later, but rather by celestial forging. In other words, it was a divinely created weapon born alongside Artemis, or one could even call it a companion weapon.

Orion's Arrow is destined to find Orion, the other half of the moon goddess.

When Orion's Arrow recognizes someone, it means that fate has chosen that person to become Orion of Artemis.

She remains the innocent Artemis to this day, and because she hasn't experienced the deaths of the children or being devoured by Antares, she can't understand her own heart, which is why she's not as easily defeated as in the original story.

In reality, Artemis's feelings of love didn't arise instantly; rather, they were influenced by her close but sometimes sarcastic friend, Aphrodite, and the people of the lower realms.

Having been devoured by Antares and faced death, he finally gave up and fought back.

Therefore, this sudden surprise was more of a shock to her.

"Thank you, goddess, you're a good person."

Ming Ge handed out a card.

Orion's Arrow then bypassed the sealing system set up by the gods.

As for Artemis, she was naturally sealed away and then fell from the sky.

This goddess... seems so easy to bully.

Ming Ge felt a little elated for a moment, and this thought began to form in her mind.

In Artemis's panic, Princess Ming Ge caught her and then put her down on the ground.

They traveled a long distance to give away weapons and people for free; the gift was generous, and the sentiment was profound.

Chapter 136 Aphrodite

"Thanks."

Artemis was placed on the ground, and then she gave a soft thank you, completely lacking her previous nonchalant demeanor.

She gets angry if other men touch her, even if it's unavoidable, but she can't do anything about Ming Ge.

Not for any other reason than the fact that Ming Ge can use her weapon.

Of course, she had a good impression of Ming Ge from the beginning, which was a plus.

Ming Ge herself doesn't dislike this kind of 'destiny,' Ming Ge is the 'destined person.'

You're just a human, what makes you think you deserve the affection of a virgin goddess who's been around for hundreds of millions of years if you're not special?

To really dwell on the fact that the other person doesn't love you for who you are, but only gave themselves to you for other reasons... that's just being dramatic.

In other words, if feelings develop between them in the future, even if Artemis loses this destiny, could she possibly fall in love with someone else?

To put it bluntly, love at first sight is rare, and this "destiny" isn't just a gift; it's simply the foundation for a relationship.

"I'm going back to Orario. Is there anything else you need me to do?"

Ming Ge asked.

"Hmm... it's nothing anymore."

Artemis gazed at the ruins with a touch of sadness.

Because of the commotion caused by Antares breaking the seal, the ruins have disappeared, leaving only a huge pit.

The original traces of her clan have completely disappeared, but she will remember them forever.

"Oh, right."

Artemis said somewhat flusteredly, "I found a child a few months ago and entrusted him to a mother bear because of Antares. Although there haven't been any problems in the short term, I'm afraid that things might go wrong if it goes on for too long."

Artemis not only possessed the divine qualities of a virgin goddess, but also the divine qualities of a hunter, and was the protector of mammals.

Although she is defined as a hunting-type familiar, this hunting does not include wild beasts, but rather the hunting of monsters.

Even though her divine power was sealed, those wild beasts with low intelligence would still be loyal to her, which is why she was able to feed the cubs she found with bear milk.

Even though Artemis is a goddess, she is penniless upon descending to the mortal realm. Fortunately, even with her divine power and physical abilities sealed, she still possesses level 2 to 3 combat skills, which is sufficient for her needs in the outside world.

Incidentally, the child's name is Lanti, which is based on Atalanta from Greece mythology.

"I see... Shall I offer you a ride?"

Ming Ge tilted her head and said.

Please.

Artemis breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Give me directions.

After Artemis pointed out the direction, Mavis, who had been standing to the side seemingly without presence, released her magic, enveloping the three of them, and then soared into the sky.

"So fast!"

Artemis exclaimed in amazement, "Is this really a doll? To possess such power is beyond the reach of even the children born in the heavens!"

It's unbelievable that something of such purity could exist in the lower realms.

Because Mavis was wearing a robe, Artemis could not determine whether Mavis was truly alive.

"This child is already my masterpiece. I want to know how big the gap is between him and you gods."

Ming Ge asked.

"Well..." Artemis paused for a moment.

The index finger scratched its face and said, "Although this child is already a rare miracle in the lower realm, and there is no one with comparable power throughout the history of the lower realm, it is still incomparable to the gods."

I think so too.

Ming Ge nodded slightly.

The power emanating from the divine weapon Orion's Arrow reveals the true nature of the gods. This divine weapon, possessing the power to slay gods, is also known as the "Armor of Divine Principle."

In other words, the weapons created by the gods contain the fundamental power of the gods' existence.

Although its scale is not as large as that of power, it is in fact an extension of power.

It can be said that this weapon alone possesses an essence that surpasses that of fairies.
