I am a god-slayer, not your hero.

Athena, with her bright eyes, pursed her lips and remained silent.

"Do you think silence can cover it up?" Hera scoffed.

The Muses stepped forward, and the nine goddesses softly chanted: "Who, who, seduced the King of Gods with lies?"

"Who, who, committed the crime of patricide?"

"It's her, it's her!"

"The goddess Athena, she allowed Zeus's divine blood to defile the sanctity of the Pantheon!"

Gods: "!"

Everyone looked at Princess Bright Eyes.

They couldn't believe it; they couldn't believe that Athena, Zeus's most beloved daughter and also a Greek goddess, would kill Zeus.

Hera revealed her fair arms, her eyes fixed on Athena with bright eyes: "Goddess Athena, after killing Zeus, you didn't run away, but instead swaggered into the Pantheon. You must have some ulterior motive."

She looked around, her eyes sharp as swords.

“There are even quite a few gods here who have secretly joined your ranks.”

Upon hearing this, the gods all looked at the person beside them with suspicion.

Artemis, the goddess of the hunt who, like Apollo, was an alien deity and their sibling in mythology, and who regarded Apollo as her elder brother, whispered to him, "Brother, when shall we make our move?"

Apollo: "?"

Seeing that Apollo did not respond, Artemis asked in confusion, "Didn't my brother and the Bright-Eyed Princess conspire to assassinate Lord Zeus?"

Apollo transmitted his voice: "That's not true. What do you really think of me?"

Artemis pondered for a moment, then immediately transmitted her voice: "A rat from the depths of the earth that appears upright but is actually full of wicked intentions."

Apollo: “…”

Too much! Too much!

What is this nonsense?

Wasn't it just because I beat you in an archery competition and became your older brother?

Is it really necessary to be so truthful?

Just as Apollo was furious, Athena, with her bright eyes, parted her lips and said, "So that's how it is. You suspect that I colluded with Hades, the god of the underworld, to plot against Zeus's rule, so you didn't invite Hades, but instead invited Vesta, the goddess of the hearth."

"As long as the sacred fire of Hestia is not extinguished, the gods must not do anything discordant."

"Even if I wanted to take action, I couldn't actually start a war."

Hera arrogantly raised her head: "Goddess Athena, I can give you a chance. We will go to the outside of Mount Olympus for a fair fight. If you lose, you will obediently surrender, and I will not pursue the crimes of the others."

Athena said slowly, "As the second strongest god here, you will be the strongest after Zeus's death."

"Actually, you don't care about my innocence at all. You just want to use me to establish your authority, win over the hearts of the gods, or eliminate dissidents."

"But I must remind you of something."

She paused for a moment before saying, slowly and deliberately, "There is more than one Godslayer who has infiltrated our [Divine Realm]!"

Hera frowned slightly and looked at her.

Ares suddenly said, "Princess Bright-Eyed is right. The god-slayer who stole the sun god's chariot and the god-slayer who boasted of fighting Zeus are not the same person."

Athena continued, "I believe that besides these two god-slayers, there is a third god-slayer who may have killed my avatar and usurped my power and destiny!"

"Therefore, she disguised herself as a concubine and killed Zeus to mislead others."

“No!” Aphrodite suddenly said, “The bodies and souls of gods killed by god-killers dissipate, and their divine power is devoured by the god-killers. Lord Zeus’s corpse is still here.”

Athena continued, "That's why I say it's the third god-slayer. If two god-slayers had harmed Zeus one after the other, they wouldn't have been able to usurp his power."

Hera: "That doesn't clear you of suspicion."

Athena, the Bright-Eyed Goddess, ignored Hera and instead looked at Hestia: "Just goddess of the hearth, protector of the sacred fire, you now sit on the throne of the Olympian gods, and I beg you to clear my name."

Hestia pondered for a moment, then spoke in a voice that was both ancient and clear, “Goddess Athena, I hope you are right. We, the Olympian gods, regardless of our origins, are all gods with kinship ties. I do not want to believe that any of us would do something like killing a relative. Therefore, I will give you the opportunity to prove your innocence.”

"Thank you for your fairness, may your sacred flame never be extinguished." Athena bowed her head slightly.

Hestia looked around at the gods.

"From this moment forward, Mount Olympus will close its gates, and the gods shall not leave until the murderer of Zeus is identified."

Hera pressed further, "Are you going to investigate this matter?"

“I’m afraid I can’t leave.” Hestia shook her head, looked at Athena and Hera, and said, “You two name a god that you can both accept, and let Him go to the earth to investigate whether there is a third god-slayer, and whether He has taken away the fate and power of another Athena!”

Athena and Hera exchanged a glance and simultaneously offered a name.

"Artemis."
