Shana Takes Action

The things we care about have no reason, yet they are not based on understanding or persistence; upon closer reflection, they seem so empty.

The emptiness in her heart caused by Orion's Arrow finally revealed its weakness, and Aphrodite tore it apart.

"I think I understand now."

Artemis seemed to understand something, but still shook her head and said, "But as expected, I still can't do it, and besides... I've heard that person already has a family."

"Oh, I see... You're married."

Aphrodite pondered for a moment, then shook her head and said, "If I said that even if you have a family, you shouldn't hesitate to take them... you wouldn't be able to do that, would you?"

Don't doubt it, as a goddess of beauty, forcibly taking away those she sets her sights on is standard practice.

Undoubtedly, Artemis's eyes revealed this as well; it was something she absolutely did not want to do, even at the cost of death.

"Don't let yourself regret it, it's that simple."

Chapter 139 Shana in Action

"Having romantic feelings and then turning them into reality requires you to manage the relationships with his other family members."

Whether it was forced acquisition or a third party involvement, whether the process and outcome were bittersweet or unsatisfactory, at least you were able to be your true self.

Aphrodite used this sentence to conclude their conversation, and Artemis then left with Lanti.

Watching Artemis's departing figure, Aphrodite revealed a divine look in her eyes, as if she were smiling.

It wasn't that she was completely indifferent to Artemis's love life; it's just that, compared to the state of love, love itself was what Artemis needed.

Although this was merely Aphrodite's own opinion, that's how she felt.

As Aphrodite said, Artemis was like a child, completely immature in this respect.

If left unchecked, you might suffer a great loss someday... Rather than that, you should cherish even an unsatisfactory relationship.

Not to mention...

"That man doesn't seem like the type to let a woman down."

Aphrodite muttered to herself.

As a goddess of beauty, she has a very discerning eye when it comes to men.

Although Ming Ge wore robes that could shield her from the gods' sight, she couldn't hide the feelings she had.

Two more weeks passed, Ming Ge played with the black jade, building a model in her mind.

The nine cities connected around Orario have all been established.

This time, filling Orario with its own resources won't be easy, Ming Ge simply sent out fairies to assist some of the weaker villages in relocation.

This process will take at least six months, and in Ming Ge's view, these cities won't be able to fill the gaps in the short term.

Each city must have three puppets stationed there, and Orario, as the main city, needs at least twenty puppets to maintain Orario purity.

Something has changed.

Ming Ge gazed into the distance and murmured softly.

The Magic Network extends through the ley lines to distant places, including Orario and the cities connected to Orario, forming a circle.

This circle continues to expand outwards and evolve inwards in more complex directions; this is the second magic— the Magic Network.

Through the internet, Ming Ge can have a god-like perspective overlooking the entire area connected by the network.

As for the EX-level clairvoyance derived from the Emperor's Domain, it's not good to use it too often, as it can affect one's mindset.

The area covered by the Magic Network alone is sufficient.

Through his deliberate search, Ming Ge has identified several key members of the Astraea Familia from the original story.

There's no need to say much about Elize. At only eight years old (modified), she traversed countless mountains and rivers, arriving in Orario alone, where she was eventually discovered by Ming Ge.

Gojono Kaguya, who is one year older than Elize, also left her hometown and entered Ming Ge's perception range.

Lyra, an eight-year-old pink-haired girl, is the same age as Elize. She came to the city that Ming Ge had just created not long ago because the entire village was taken in.

Everyone was assigned a job, and Lyra, who had originally engaged in petty theft but had grown up amidst the chaos, was able to start anew.

According to the plan, Ming Ge would naturally transfer the other party to Orario, where they would then be discovered by Astraea.

Neither Kaguya nor Lyra can change their childhood experiences.

But thankfully, Ming Ge found a werewolf named Neze.

Her village, like Lyra's, was absorbed into the new city, but unlike Leila, her parents were still alive.

Ming Ge had observed the original fates of everyone with her EX-level clairvoyance, which was one of the few things that was changed among the members of Astraea.

To put it bluntly, Ming Ge appeared relatively late and couldn't change everyone's situation.

But many people who would have died were saved, and many villages that had been wiped out were consolidated and moved to the new city.

Many filthy factions and black market operators were enjoying life during this time, but Ming Ge hung them on streetlights. It was clear that the lower realm was beginning to improve, at least better than before.

"It's time to take the initiative."

Ming Ge took out the God-Eater Jade and handed it to the Fire Fairy Shana.

Her crimson hair glowed faintly with firelight, and her fiery eyes revealed a fierce determination. Despite being a little girl, she exuded a powerful aura.

Her beautiful legs, clad in black stockings, looked extremely slender, making one want to fondle them.

"Go, bring back the Heavenly Fire, and my weapons."

Ming Ge said calmly.

Olympia, the place that guards the Heavenly Fire.

This is a sacred place, isolated from the world, existing only in legends.

If it weren't virtually unknown to the outside world, Olympia would even be hailed as the fourth secret realm.

Flames from the heavens possess the ability to create secret realms on their own.

Olympia also has another name: Pandora.
