Type-Moon, a human love simulator

Chapter 111 Is Your True Love a Goddess?
Suren returned to the forest where he had lived for fifteen years, but did not see Cynthia. Suren was not surprised by this. It would be strange for Cynthia, a god, to live in one place all year round.

Now that he had been away from home for three years, it was normal for Cynthia to be away.

When he returned to the cave where he lived, all the facilities were the same as before without any changes, as if three years had not passed.

Cynthia was away, and Artemis had just been sacrificed not long ago. After much thought, Suellen went out to find a piece of high-quality marble, and spent some time and effort to polish out a statue of Athena.

Who says you need a temple to worship gods?

Suren put the statue away without placing any sacrifices. He said devoutly, "Goddess Athena, your believer Suren is here. I have completed the test you gave me."

"My Surren..."

The response speed was still that reassuring. As soon as Surlun finished speaking, Athena's figure had already descended into the small cave.

The majesty of the gods was radiating, and the omnipresent sacred light seemed to fill the place. Suren narrowed his eyes and adapted to Athena's majesty in an instant.

Although Athena's divine power is considered to be top-notch among the twelve gods, this goddess likes to communicate with Suren in her true form. Every time she responds to Suren's prayers, the goddess' true form will surely descend.

Over time, Suren naturally adapted to the omnipresent majesty of the gods. Now, perhaps only the majesty of the great father god Zeus could make Suren feel uncomfortable.

Athena smiled at Surren and said proudly, "Surren, you really have the potential to become the greatest hero of Greece. You will be my most perfect believer."

"only--"

Athena's tone was drawn out, and Suerlun naturally knew how to respond. He quickly asked, "Goddess Athena, just what?"

"Suerlun, you made a wish to me for true love, and I promise that you will definitely gain your true love during your adventure."

Athena said meaningfully: "This is our agreement. I will not forget it."

Surren was confused and didn't know what Athena meant, so he didn't speak. Athena quickly spoke again: "Arkadia, the beloved daughter of King Iasos, Princess Atalanta, do you know her?"

"..." Surlun didn't quite follow Athena's train of thought, but still said honestly: "Of course I know her. We met during the trial of hunting the Calydonian boar. I even visited her home!"

"That's good..." Athena nodded with satisfaction and said, "So, Suerlun, do you hate her?"

"Of course I don't hate her. Ta-Meow is straightforward and serious. Even though she is a princess from a certain country, she is actually quite wild and free-spirited, and very approachable..."

Suren smiled and expressed his opinion of Atalanta: "Such a person is very comfortable to get along with in daily life or as a friend. I certainly don't hate her."

Listening to Surren's praise, Athena recalled that Atalanta had punched Iasus in the face in front of the Arcadians, and she was just short of shouting "Daddy, Daddy, Biological Daddy!"

This was an act of disobedience that should have been punished by the Great Father's thunderbolt, but Zeus acted as if he didn't see it...

This character is indeed straightforward and serious.

Iasus deliberately spread the name of Atalanta's beauty, and there was an endless stream of suitors coming to him. Atalanta directly asked people to gamble their lives...

Well, it is indeed very approachable.

Thinking about the long-distance running track in Arcadia that was almost full of corpses and covered with blood, Athena had to admit that Atalanta was really wild and free.

"You're right, Surren."

Athena nodded in agreement with Suerlun's point of view, and couldn't help but smile and praise: "You really have a pair of discerning eyes for people. Even if you have only met someone once, you can accurately tell the other person's personality traits!"

"So, your friend is in a little trouble now~"

Athena smiled and said, "Hippomenes, the demigod hero and great-grandson of Poseidon, the sea king, was attracted by Atalanta's beauty, but he was not confident that he could beat Atalanta in a race, so he asked Aphrodite for the golden apple that no one could refuse."

"Golden apples?"

Suren was stunned. Even though he was not familiar with Greek mythology, he was familiar with the famous golden apple.

It can be said that this is something that no one in Greece can refuse. It seems to be mixed with some special attack on women. Even the goddess cannot resist the temptation of the golden apple.

Among the descendants of Poseidon, there are innumerable monsters, but human-like heroes are extremely rare.

But no matter they are monsters or humans, they all have the blood of a great god flowing in their veins and are true demigods and descendants of gods.

This also indirectly proves Atalanta's excellence and strength. Even a demigod-level hero cannot beat Atalanta in a long-distance race. Only by asking a real god to take action can they suppress her.

Atalanta was able to beat Zeus' grandson in wrestling, and even made Poseidon's great-grandson use tricks in long-distance running...

Whether it is long-distance running or wrestling, these two skills are compulsory courses for Greek heroes and are national sports of Greece.

If you want to become a hero, you must master these two skills.

Even though there were many heroes in Greece during the Age of Gods, regardless of gender, Atalanta was outstanding enough.

If we only talk about female heroes, Atalanta almost dominates the list.

Because of this, among mortal women, almost no one could surpass Atalanta, and this wild girl became Athena's first choice and the "true love" she found for Suren.

Only the strongest women are worthy of the best Surren.

Athena has not forgotten the promise she made to Apollo.

Anyway, after Surlun's body was forged by the Heavenly Fire, he already had the foundation for immortality, but Atalanta was just a mortal.

When time has decayed everything, he will eventually know who his eternal partner is.

Athena whispered: "With the golden apple given by Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, Hippomenes will surely beat Atalanta in the race. Your friend will be forced to marry this despicable man."

In fact, Athena didn't think there was anything wrong with the methods Hippomenes used. In order to achieve "victory", it was right to use every possible means.

But Suren certainly would not like such despicable behavior. As the goddess of wisdom, Athena would always make the right choice.

Surren's brows gradually furrowed. He thought of this: Atalanta's fate was this Hippomenes, who was afraid of death but wanted to marry a beautiful woman...

Moreover, he could not control his lower body, and when he became lustful, he even forgot to thank the goddess Aphrodite for helping him, which made Aphrodite furious and she cursed both him and Atalanta.

"It seems that I am the only one who can save her."

Surren said to himself, then looked at Athena and said solemnly: "Thank you for your guidance and help, Goddess Athena... Atalanta is indeed my friend, and I don't want her to suffer such a bad fate."

Athena narrowed her eyes and said, "Beautiful Suren, you have to think carefully. Hippomenes has the blessing and support of Aphrodite. If you want to intervene, it will be equivalent to offending Aphrodite!"

"Yes, but this is an unjust act. Since I saw it, I have to take care of it."

Suerlun smiled and said seriously: "Any ordinary person would despise Hippomenes' despicable behavior. He borrowed the power and grace of the gods to confuse the minds of women. How is this different from rape?"

Suren wanted to be an ordinary person, but an ordinary person with normal values ​​would definitely not be able to tolerate Hippomenes' behavior.

If you don't like it, you have to do something about it!

"If today, I choose to stand aside because I might offend Aphrodite, then tomorrow, I will back off because of what another god is going to do."

Suerlun said calmly: "A real man is born between heaven and earth. He does not seek fame in human history. He only seeks peace of mind."

Yes, Suerlun, I just want peace of mind.

He doesn't pursue much. Suerlun is a man with great desires, so his low-level desires are very low.

Suren doesn't care about low-level interests such as power, beauty, money, honor, fame, and status, but she will insist on the beauty, peace, morality, and integrity that humans pursue.

Athena's face was gentle. She stroked Suerlun's serious eyebrows and said, "All the heroes in Greece are afraid of Aphrodite, because she is the goddess of love and beauty. If you offend her, you will be lonely for the rest of your life..."

"But, only you, Suerlun, you don't have to fear any god!"

"You should know that behind you stands the goddess of victory Athena who will always support you!"

Athena took out an Aequis and handed it to Suren, saying, "Go, hero favored by Athena, go and win the sweet fruits of victory for your goddess, and use this to please your goddess!"

The Shield of Aegis, also known as the sheepskin shield, had only two in all of Greece.

One side is in the hand of Zeus, symbolizing the clouds and sky of Greece. If Zeus takes away the Aequis, Greece will lose all the clouds and not a drop of rain will fall.

This shield has an almost impenetrable defense, and even Zeus' own great thunder power cannot pierce Aequis.

The other side is in Athena's hand, symbolizing absolute victory. Holding Aequis is equivalent to holding everlasting victory. This is Athena's most important artifact and it is an artifact that can absolutely represent Athena's identity.

In layman's terms, this symbolizes the presence of Athena herself.

Hippomenes only had three golden apples given by Aphrodite, while Suren held the Shield of Aegeus given by Athena. The support from the goddess was completely on a different level.

Surlun stepped onto the Golden Sky again, and under the guidance of Athena, he turned into a stream of light and flew towards Arcadia.
-
At this time, not only Hippomenes, the descendant of Poseidon, the king of the sea, participated in the race, but even Meleager, the prince of Calydon, came to the death track littered with corpses.

Although this man had conflicts with his two uncles, he did not actually kill anyone. Although his mother Althea was furious and rebuked Meleager for his foolish behavior, she did not intend to take out the firewood and burn it.

But Meleager was terrified, for he knew that lying to Artemis had angered the goddess, so he admitted his shameless act in front of the whole city.

He also promised the goddess that he would personally make amends, return the honor to Suren, and that the descendants of Calydon would unconditionally agree to any conditions of Suren in the future.

It can be said that it was only after promising a lot of conditions that the goddess finally calmed down.

This is why Meleager happened to mention Suron by accident.

Otherwise, according to Artemis' temper, would he want to make amends after offending the goddess?

It's too late!

All ten wild boars should be thrown down.

This was all thanks to Surlun. It can be said that Surlun saved his life and the lives of all the people in Calydon.

As for why Surlen chose to take action at that time?

In fact, the reason is very simple, because Suerlun is an ordinary person, a normal person.

As a human being, it would be fine if he hadn't encountered it, but since Suerlun was already there and could stop it with just a hand, he would never watch the tragedy of fratricide happen.

Just because of a small dispute, blood relatives will turn against each other, and in the end no one will survive.

These have nothing to do with Surlun, and he could certainly stay out of it, but Surlun now has enough power to implement his own will, so he will intervene in anything he doesn't like or is unhappy with.

Looking at Atalanta, whose expression was cold, eyes were sharp and bright, and whose face was beautiful, Hippomenes' eyes burst into great enthusiasm. He shouted loudly: "Atalanta! My name is Hippomenes, the son of Megalos, the great-grandson of Poseidon, the god of the sea!"

"Why do you compete with the weak? Do you dare to compete with me? If fate favors me and allows me to win, then at least I am worthy of you and will not let you feel wronged for it."

"If I lose, then your honor will be greater... because you finally defeated Hippomenes."

If we didn't know in advance that this person had already sought out the gods and prayed to them for the cheating golden apple, we would have really thought that he was a hero with extraordinary courage.

Such a frank and heroic speech did make Atalanta look up to him, but it was just a glance.

Her attitude finally stopped being one of indifference, but she said with aloofness and indifference, yet with absolute confidence: "Honor? Fool, I, Atalanta, do not care about such things that are discarded like a piece of trash."

“Anyone can run a long distance race with me.”

"But if you lose, unless Poseidon, the king of the sea, is willing to come forward for you, I will take your life. Cherish every moment you can breathe!"

Meleager looked at Atalanta in fascination and murmured, "Atalanta, my beloved, for you, I am willing to give everything!"

"..."

Faced with such a love-mad man, Atalanta didn't even bother to glance at him, and simply stood in front of the starting point of the track where she had set up the wooden stakes.

Hippomenes touched the golden apple in his arms and looked at Atalanta with fiery eyes. He completely forgot about Aphrodite and thought obscenely, "Such a beautiful woman will belong to me, Hippomenes, from now on. This will be the first step for me to become famous in Greece!"

Hippomenes' feelings for Atalanta were full of lust, possessiveness, greed, and vanity, but there was absolutely no shining and moving true love.

Even his so-called love was not as good as that of Meleager, who had become love-brained. At least this man really dared to kill his uncle for Atalanta.

In Hippomenes' eyes, Atalanta was a beautiful girl, a walking honor, but definitely not a wife.

"It seems I'm not too late..."

A streak of golden light flashed across the sky, and Surlun appeared on the golden sky. He looked at Atalanta and said with a smile: "Since the race has not started yet, why not add me in?"

"..." The frost and indifference on Atalanta's face melted away. She smiled, even though it was only for a moment, it was a genuine smile. Atalanta said, "You are here, Surlun."

"If you're willing to participate, I'd certainly welcome you."

If people were more observant, they would notice that when Atalanta spoke to others, she used a rather official and formal language. In short, it was retro. It didn't sound like a language for communication, but more like a civilized and standardized language used for writing.

When Atalanta was talking to Suren, they were in a very relaxed state and subconsciously used the most concise verbal communication language, which was a completely normal way of communication.

But unfortunately, none of the Greek heroes in the Age of Gods were careful. Perhaps Surren could have noticed it, but he did not have the time to stand from the perspective of a bystander and observe all these changes.

Hippomenes was very jealous of Suren's divine appearance. As the great-grandson of Poseidon, the god of the sea, he was considered handsome, but in front of Suren he could not help but feel ashamed of himself.

This is the real beautiful boy!

Hippomenes could not help but speak up: "Young man, the competition with Atalanta is a gamble of life. Anyone who loses the race will be killed by Atalanta."

"No!" Atalanta shook her head and said, "Sullen is different. Even if he loses, I will not kill him."

"?"

Hippomenes was stunned. After he came to his senses, he could not help but ask loudly: "Atalanta, how can you not follow the rules? Are you going to admit that you have fooled all the good men in Greece just for him?"

"First of all, this is not a rule, and I have not sworn an oath to anyone or any god."

Atalanta said calmly: "I just said that those who race with me will be killed if they lose, but I can choose to forgive them. I just didn't want to do it before."

"The same goes for you. If you lose, leave your life on this track!"

There are privileges in everything, it just depends on whether the privileges are willing to serve you.

Anyway, Surren benefited greatly from the privileges granted by Atalanta so openly, and it was worth it for him to cross most of Greece to save his good brother.

Suerlun raised his eyebrows, smiled and gave a thumbs up, saying, "Ta Meow, that's very nice! Good brothers are self-evident! It's worth it that I flew all the way from Athens to save you..."

"Save me?" Atalanta asked. "Why do you say save me?"

"We'll talk about this later. You'll know soon enough."

Suerlun smiled mysteriously and refused to reveal a word.

Seeing this, Atalanta didn't ask any more questions and returned to the track to prepare for the race.

Surlun carried the Golden Supreme Sky on his back, a giant bow that was exaggerated enough to carry a person. Under the Golden Supreme Sky, on his waist was the Aequis given to him by Athena.

Seeing this, Atalanta could not help but remind him: "Sullen, running requires lightness and speed. It's hard to run fast with such a heavy load on your back!"

"It doesn't matter. After all, this is the only way to be fair."

Surren stared at Hippomenes and Meleager, two insects whose morals and characters were indistinguishable, with a half-smile in his eyes. His voice was calm, but his words were full of confidence: "If I don't add enough burdens, then there will be no suspense in this game."

"Ta Meow, you have to be careful too. Don't let me overtake you!"

"Hmph!" Atalanta handed the bow and arrow to her maid and said loudly: "The moment my arrow hits the ground, the race will begin. If you rush ahead, you will be deemed a failure. Do you have any objection?" After all, they are all heroes of the Age of Gods. It is natural that they have strong eyesight. It is impossible for them not to see the trace of the arrow falling to the ground. If he still rushes ahead, it means that he wanted to rush ahead anyway, so just kill him.

Hippomenes nodded indifferently. He glanced at Surren and sneered at Surren's stupidity and arrogance in his heart: "I thought you were a strong competitor, but you are too arrogant. Underestimating me, Hippomenes, will be the biggest mistake of your life!"

Touching the three golden apples in his arms, one for each of Atalanta, Meleager and the newly appeared Suren. After attracting all their attention, he would be able to come first.

Hippomenes' mind was full of fantasy, and he never thought about a problem...

Why did Aphrodite give him three golden apples?
Hippomenes thought that the opportunity created by one golden apple was enough to defeat Atalanta, and the remaining two could be used to plot against other competitors.

But in fact, all three golden apples were used to deal with Atalanta. The gap between Hippomenes and Atalanta was such that at least three golden apples were needed to distract Atalanta's attention and create three opportunities for big mistakes, so that Hippomenes would have a tiny chance of winning.

The bowstring vibrated, the arrow drew an arc and landed on a big tree not far away. At the same time, all the contestants started running!
Atalanta stepped on the ground with both feet, and the powerful explosive force instantly left a footprint on the hard and thick ground.

Hippomenes hurried to catch up, but failed to catch up at the beginning. In addition, Atalanta was indeed very strong in running, so even though they hurried, the distance between them was still widening.

However, in the first few kilometers, Hippomenes was still able to keep up with Atalanta and not be left behind.

Hippomenes was only one-third of the way through the race when he could no longer hold on. He gritted his teeth and said, "It seems that I can only use the golden apple. Goddess Aphrodite, please grant me the blessing of true love!"

"If I can gain true love from this, then I will definitely thank you and hold a grand festival for you!"

Hippomenes threw the golden apple in his hand, and it drew an arc and landed in front of Atalanta...

Atalanta, who was originally concentrating on the race, felt that her mind was attracted by a golden light that could not be ignored. She wanted to continue running, but her legs and hands were out of control.

Atalanta couldn't help but bend down, ready to pick up the irresistible golden apple.

"Soon-"

The sound of light cutting through the air was heard. Atalanta was also an excellent archer. The cat ears on her head moved and she could tell where the arrow would land...

It is this golden apple that is full of temptation and irresistible!

The next moment, the golden apple was pierced by the stream of light and exploded with a loud bang. The irresistible attraction disappeared in an instant. Thanks to Suren's timely action, Atalanta's running rhythm was not interrupted, and Hippomenes did not close the distance.

"What are you doing?" Seeing that her trick was exposed, Hippomenes was immediately furious and directly said, "This is a blessing from the goddess of love and beauty. How dare you disrespect the goddess Aphrodite?"

"I don't like gods who don't follow the rules."

Surren even admitted the accusation. He said nonchalantly: "Aphrodite helps a despicable person like you. This shows what kind of god she is."

In fact, this was a misunderstanding of Suren. Aphrodite was the goddess of love and beauty. She was in charge of the beauty, lust and love of mortals.

Anyone who came to ask for her love would receive a response from Aphrodite, no matter how despicable the request was.

Responding to humanity is God’s love.

Next, Hippomenes used the same trick again, and as if he had run out of tricks, he threw out the remaining two golden apples, one of which even hit Suren.

But the result would not change at all. With Surlun's archery skills, he could shoot the two golden apples with his eyes closed.

Without the golden apple, Hippomenes would not be a match for Atalanta. Atalanta's speed and burst were both top Greek standards.

Suren followed Hippomenes at a leisurely pace. When he saw that he really had no other options, he slowed down and watched Atalanta cross the finish line.

Suerlun stretched and said, "Ta Miao, congratulations on your victory again. Congratulations on defeating fate and escaping from being fooled by the gods."

Hippomenes collapsed and knelt on the ground, shouting: "Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty... the true love you promised me has never come true!"

"Goddess Aphrodite, you have deceived me and you broke your promise to Hippomenes!"

"Hippomenes, are you blaspheming?"

Aphrodite was surprised by his offense, so the main god descended. In an instant, the world was filled with an atmosphere of lust and ambiguity, and the majesty of God once again demonstrated its power.

This is a map cannon that even God himself can't shut down.

"You clearly promised me..."

Hippomenes put his head in his hands and said, "You said that no one could refuse the golden apple, but in the end you failed. I failed to defeat Atalanta. I am going to die."

Aphrodite did not look at Hippomenes again. She looked at Suren with her eyes that contained all the beauty of the Age of Gods.

It has to be said that Aphrodite is indeed worthy of the title of the goddess of beauty. Now that she has come to the world in her true form, she exudes the feminine charm everywhere, and her appearance is impeccably beautiful.

In the face of such dazzling beauty, mortals can only bow their heads and retreat.

But there is one exception, and that is Surlun.

That face that could make even gods fall in love with it was definitely not inferior to Aphrodite's beauty.

If Aphrodite possesses all the beauty of a woman, then Suren possesses all the charm of a man.

"What a beautiful boy!"

Aphrodite was amazed at this, but soon she pretended to be angry: "Beautiful one, how dare you destroy the blessing of the goddess of love and beauty?"

"I don't know what I have done to make you disrespect me so much that you are even unwilling to call me 'Lord God of Love'!"

On the other side, Atalanta had drawn her sword and pierced Hippomenes' heart. She acted very quickly, and since Poseidon, the king of the sea, did not show up, she could kill him.

Before running, Atalanta had already made it clear that unless Poseidon intervened, Hippomenes would die if he failed!

Now it seems that Lord Poseidon still has some dignity, or rather, a mere great-grandson is too far away. If it were a son, he might have to be shameless to come out...

Even now, Poseidon is very likely on an island somewhere, watching the three [Lolita Idol] sisters dancing and singing!
Atalanta was not a fool. From the few words between Aphrodite and Suron, it was not difficult for her to guess that Hippomenes, the bastard, had asked the gods for something to plot against her, the irresistible golden apple.

If it weren't for Suerlun...

Atalanta felt cold all over, and when her eyes met Suren, she gradually warmed up.

What a good man you are, Suren!
Aphrodite did not care about Hippomenes' life or death. She turned her beautiful eyes to Atalanta and said, "Princess of Arcadia, since you have killed all the losers who failed in the race, why did you let him go?"

Meleager had a prophecy to save his life, so whenever matters of life and death were involved, his presence was always very low. Atalanta was not immune to the power of prophecy and subconsciously ignored Meleager.

Obviously, he was also one of the losers, but now everyone's attention was attracted by Suerlun.

They wanted to know whether Atalanta would take action against this beautiful young man under the pressure of Aphrodite.

Facing Aphrodite's oppressive golden eyes, Atalanta shook her head firmly and said, "For no other reason than because Surlun is different, I won't kill him!"

"Ta meow, good brother!"

Suren gave Atalanta a thumbs up. Although they were discussing his life or death, Suren looked as if he didn't care.

"Hmph, you are quite affectionate and righteous." Aphrodite snorted, looked at Suerlun, and said, "Young man, it's worth it that you came here in person to help her escape her fate."

"But, fate cannot be defied..."

Aphrodite said something meaningful, then she turned her head and looked at Atalanta, her tone once again returning to the willful nature of a goddess: "Today is the day you failed in the race. If you don't fail, wouldn't it prove that I have lost face?"

"Sullen, if you can compete with Atalanta in a full-strength race again, I will forgive you!"

Aphrodite pointed at Suren and said, "If you dare to fool me, I will take away your beauty and turn you into an ugly monster!"

"Ah?" Suer Lun was a little dazed, "Can this thing be taken back?"

"Of course I am the goddess of love and beauty!"

"And you..." Aphrodite crossed her arms and looked at Atalanta again and said, "Sullen didn't beat you on purpose because of your face. You don't really think you can outrun Sullen, do you?"

"You two, hurry up and start the race again so that I can enjoy the most intense competition!"

This time I had to fight hard.

Although Suren didn't believe what Aphrodite said about taking back his beauty, there are many ways to make people ugly, which are naturally very simple for gods.

Atalanta was a little unconvinced. She had been quite proud of defeating Suren in the race. After all, Suren's archery skills were obviously better than hers, and he was even better than her in other aspects. Now that she could beat Suren in one aspect, for Atalanta, this was the highest honor!

But now, Aphrodite denied him the honor and told him that Suren had not given his best.

"Then let's have another match!"

Atalanta said loudly: "Sullen, you try your best. If you fail, I will definitely kill you this time, because this is your contempt for me!"

"If that's what you asked for."

Surren looked at Atalanta deeply, nodded and said, "Then I will do my best!"

In the race with Atalanta, Surren did not give his all.

Because he didn't think it was necessary.

Atalanta won't kill him anyway, so what's the harm in cooperating with him and letting Tamiao win?

A lot of troubles can be avoided, and all that is paid is the "honor" that Suerlun doesn't care about at all.

As an ordinary person, it doesn't matter to Suerlun whether he wants to be in the spotlight or not.

It would be better to make our good brother Ta Miao happy.

After all, this race was what Atalanta was most proud of. Suren knew that he was very strong, but there was no need to step on others to get to the top in the area that others were most proud of.

This is what it means to hide one's talent in clumsiness.

Now that Aphrodite has exposed his match-fixing, and with Atalanta's request, Suren can only do a little.

This time Aphrodite was the referee, and both sides stood in front of the starting stakes again. When Aphrodite shouted "start", the two of them suddenly burst out with powerful strength and speed.

There is a natural gap between women and men in terms of muscle mass and explosive power.

Even though Atalanta had Artemis' blessing and was able to defeat Greek heroes of similar strength to her, she would never be able to defeat Suren at his full strength.

In another race, Suren was ahead of Atalanta by five or six seconds, which was a complete crushing victory in running.

"What a wonderful game!" Aphrodite clapped her hands and looked at Atalanta with a teasing look. The meaning was very clear: you lost, what do you think?
"The race is over, I am glad to please you, willful Aphrodite!"

Suren glared at the God of Love and Beauty who was watching the fun and preparing to leave.

But Atalanta stopped him: "Sullen, you have defeated me, you have defeated the princess of Arcadia, the hunter of the goddess Artemis. According to the agreement, I am willing to marry you."

"That doesn't have to be the case, Ta-meow."

Suer Lun said calmly: "It's just a competition. It's not enough to decide a person's life events."

"Although I am better than you in long-distance running, it doesn't mean you have to marry me..."

Suer Lun spread his hands and said, "We have only met three times at most. You will definitely regret making such a hasty decision on an important matter in your life!"

Surlan's long speech did not affect Atalanta at all. She looked at Surlan and said, "But since you are better than me, you are qualified to marry me. This is my choice, and I will never regret it in the future."

"…True love will last forever!"

Surren shook his head, looked at Atalanta and said, "But I don't think that true love can be born between two people who know nothing about each other except their names."

"Ta Meow, don't take yourself too lightly."

"Before we part, I have something to say to you. This is the motto of a great woman for her students."

Suren looked at Atalanta and said:

“I was born to be a mountain, not a stream. I want to be on the top of the peaks, looking down at the mediocre valleys.”

"I was born to be a hero, not a nobody. I stand on the shoulders of great men and look down on lowly cowards."

Suerlun said loudly: "The value of a woman is by no means limited to marrying a strong man. Tamiao, as a friend, I hope you will remember that you are a free mountain cat in the forest, not a canary kept in a cage!"

Suren once again displayed three views that were incompatible with the classical Greek Age of Gods.

Even a proud and strong female hero like Atalanta could not help but become weak, compromising and dependent once it came to getting married.

Humans are social creatures.

No matter how innovative one is, one cannot avoid being bound by the rules and regulations that exist in human society.

This bondage may not be physical, but it is spiritual.

Suren seemed to be able to see that the mountain cat, full of energy and free to roam in the forest, was gradually suppressed by the hierarchy of humans and turned into a dodder clinging to a big tree.

Isn't the most important thing for a person to realize his or her self-worth? Atalanta could have freely done what she liked instead of groveling and trying to please others.

"..."

Atalanta looked at Surlun's departing back, her emerald eyes reflecting Surlun's color. Aphrodite, who had never left, squinted her eyes and said, "I feel the birth of love."

"Atalanta, your mind is disturbed."

No woman can resist being attracted to Suerlun, right?
Not only the foul face of seeing God, but also Suren's character and morality are so beautiful and noble, overlooking this classical Greek Age of Gods.

"If you ask me now, maybe the God of Love and Beauty can grant your request?"

"..."
-
No one knows what Atalanta said, for Suren had already left.

He instinctively didn't want to have too close contact with unfamiliar gods.

Not because of anything else——

God, there are too many rules!
Gods are capricious and do whatever they want. They are also moody. Being with gods is much more serious than being with a tiger.

The emperor can only kill your living body, but the gods can torture you before and after your death.

"Goddess Athena, I'm back!" Suren returned to Athens and worshiped Athena in the temple in Athens.

"My beautiful boy Suerlun, you finally came back!"

Athena looked behind Surren, but didn't see Atalanta. She couldn't help but be stunned and said, "Surren, didn't you win?"

"Of course not, I won."

Suren didn't waste any time and told Athena everything he knew.

Perhaps Athena already knew the inside story, but it was definitely not as good as Surren telling her in person.
