The Goddess of Prophecy and Fire

A pair of twin little girls appeared beside the leader of the shrine maiden guild, revealing a faint smile.

"Mother."

The witch stared at the two girls, her eyes widening, before tears streamed down her face.

There's no need to deny the miracle, but it will only happen once.

Looking at the many voices crying tears of joy, Ming Ge's expression softened.

The brown-skinned little girl had appeared beside Ming Ge at some point, quietly watching this scene.

"Thanks."

The cold voice seemed to soften with a touch of tenderness; without any pretense, Prometheus thanked Ming Ge.

"Whether it's your redemption of Abimedius or your resurrection of the Olympia children, I need to thank you."

Prometheus was a prophet and the god of fire; even if he wasn't as Hestia, he still possessed the qualities to be a sacrifice.

If Ming Ge fails to extinguish the Heavenly Fire, and the moment of the eruption arrives, Prometheus intends to allow all the gods of Olympia to escape, and he will sacrifice his own life.

Although her thought process is somewhat flawed and she can make extremely ruthless decisions, Prometheus is wholeheartedly devoted to humanity.

This sentiment is heavier than anyone else's belief.

"Oh, how are you going to thank me?"

Ming Ge said casually.

"Hmm..." Prometheus fell into deep thought, and after a long while, he jokingly said, "How about repaying me with your body?"

In reality, Prometheus has a slightly sharp tongue, but perhaps because he was in a relatively good mood and didn't know Ming Ge's personality, he seemed quite gentle.

"You're too dark-skinned. I prefer fair-skinned beauties," Ming Ge laughed.

"Tch, you wretched brat."

Prometheus said with displeasure, "I will remember this insult."

"To be remembered by a god is truly an honor."

Ming Ge smiled and asked, "What are you planning to do next?"

"Hmm... let's rebuild Olympia first."

After a moment's thought, Prometheus said, "Now that you have taken away the heavenly Heavenly Fire and the barrier has dissipated, you are free to go out."

"If possible, I would like to annex the city of Olympia into your country."

"Okay." Ming Ge nodded. "My goal is the entire lower realm, and Olympia was already part of the plan."

Although Olympia is separated from Orario by the sea and is quite a distance away, it's only a matter of time before it extends there.

And through the miracle created by Ming Ge, Olympia was able to completely submit to the will of the people.

Compared to other chaotic countries, Olympia maintains the most unpretentious appearance, making it the best secret base.

"As a price, you're included too."

Ming Ge looked directly at Prometheus and said, "As a prophet and the god of fire, I need you to become my strength as well."

"Can."

Prometheus nodded gently and said, "You have resolved the mistakes I made, which is what I should have paid for with my life. Giving you everything now is the price I deserve."

It's important to know that Prometheus was prepared to die in order to extinguish the Heavenly Fire.

Furthermore, the 50,000 souls devoured by the Heavenly Fire would likely have been annihilated along with Hestia if other fire gods had been offered as sacrifices.

Ming Ge resurrected these people, which was tantamount to saving Prometheus's life, and it did more than that.

Such a great favor is so great that it would not be too much to dedicate one's body and soul to him; this was Prometheus's heartfelt thought.

"Hmm." Ming Ge nodded, then looked at the palace and said, "There's one more thing, about Abimedius, I've changed my mind."

"Um?"

Prometheus looked at Ming Ge with a puzzled expression.

"Abimedius's fall stemmed from external malice and his own confusion. Too much accumulated despair crushed him."

Ming Ge said, "My Flame of Judgment will burn away his despair, like the 'cleansing ritual' before reincarnation. I originally intended to let him sleep peacefully, but it seems... he still has his own unfinished duties."

Prometheus blinked, followed Ming Ge's gaze into the distance, and then a look of realization dawned on his face.

The mother, who is holding a pair of twins and weeping bitterly, is none other than the head priestess, Leia.

The twin girls had the exact same hair color as Abimedius.

"Tell him when he wakes up that everything he did was not meaningless."

Ming Ge said, "As a hero, he has lived for three thousand years, and it's time for his story to end. But as a man and the pillar of a family, he should also shoulder his corresponding responsibilities."

Three hundred years ago, the Heavenly Fire was severely contaminated and erupted, during which two of Leia's children died.

Having lost her child, she questioned Abimedius, who had failed to foresee the eruption of the Heavenly Fire and saved her child. "Aren't you a hero?"

As a hero, why couldn't he even save his own child?

Three thousand years ago, a woman questioned Abimedius, "Why did you arrive so late? Why couldn't you save my family? Aren't you a hero?"

The excessive sanctification of heroes leads to questioning and cursing them whenever things don't go their way.

Admittedly, the fact that royalty and nobles three thousand years ago deliberately spread negative rumors about Abimedius was one of the contributing factors.

But these most 'simple' questions are also one of the roots of Abimedius's confusion and despair.

Later generations described him as a fool who made pointless expeditions and ended up protecting nothing.

Abimedius also wondered if everything he had done was truly meaningless.

However, at this moment, Ming Ge, as the last and strongest hero, and the Human Emperor who represents the future of humanity, acknowledged him.

Although he seemed arrogant, only Ming Ge had the right to say such things, and only Ming Ge's words could offer him salvation.
