Zongman: People in Chaldea, all the group members are wives

[Mortals draw their swords and point them at the gods! ]

[With a human body, I stand shoulder to shoulder with the king of gods! 】

[“I originally wanted to give you a surprise, but now it seems that you are not surprised, little Zoe?”]

[Athena's charming face had a smile that never changed.]

[She walked over, her voice arrived before her.]

[You stared at the goddess for a full five minutes before you asked, with a vague feeling of resentment and hatred for being deceived, "Is this what you consider good, Your Majesty Athena?"]

[“That’s right. I was there when Hades abducted Persephone.”]

[Athena admitted it without any psychological burden. She was not even bothered to make up a lie to you.]

[Of course, it could also be that she knows she can't fool you, so it's better for her to be honest.]

[“Are you asking me why I didn’t stop Hades?”]

[Before you ask, Athena explains her reasons first. This is the first time she explains to a mortal: "Because it's useless. Even if I can stop it once, can I stop it a second time or a third time?"]

[With a helpless sigh, Athena continued, "Hades is the god of the underworld after all. I can't just keep an eye on him all day and prevent him from getting close to Persephone, right? I also have my own things to do."]

【This is a lie! 】

【You make the most correct judgment. 】

[It is only at this moment that you can see more clearly what kind of person this seemingly polite and dignified goddess is in essence.]

[The reason why she explains to you is only because you are worthy of her explanation! ]

[So, Athena will shut you up with the most reasonable answer, the one that is so reasonable that you cannot refute it.]

[As she said, Hades has been secretly in love with Persephone for so long, and it is meaningless to stop him once or twice. ]

【This is the source of the disaster. 】

[You actually understand, and you don't mean to vent your anger on Athena.]

[The reason I asked this question is just to test Athena. 】

[Now, we can get the answer, right? ]

【"really..............."】

[“As expected?”]

[“I really hate you, Your Majesty Athena.”]

[“I really like you, Zoe~”]

[Compared to two completely different people, these two completely opposite attitudes correspond to each other.]

[Athena doesn't care about the ordinary majority at all. She is an extreme elitist. ]

[Only those with special talents and value are taken seriously by her. ]

【As for ordinary people? 】

[Athena doesn't care no matter how many people die. 】

[And what you care about most is precisely those insignificant mortals in Athena's eyes. ]

[You and she are not destined to be on the same path. 】

[It's just because we have the same goal at this moment that we are reluctantly together. 】

[“The curtain has been raised, and the flawless hero is about to step onto the stage of history!”]

[“Zoe, you should be happy about this.”]

[Having been seen through, Athena simply stopped pretending and showed the paranoia and madness that only a goddess can have. ]

[She spread her arms and danced with the thunder. The white lightning illuminated the goddess's paranoid and twisted soul. She was singing and cheering loudly for the "brave man" she had chosen, the one chosen by fate! ]

[“Go! My hero!”]

[“Go and defeat all the enemies who dare to stand in your way!”]

[“I am the goddess of victory. I will crown you here!”]

[“I will grant you the protection of absolute invincibility!”]

[“This will also be the eternal fate of the brave!”]

Being absolutely undefeated is victory!

In Athena's vision, a true hero should be invincible!

She is the goddess of victory, and the brave man chosen by the goddess of victory should naturally win victory for her!

Defeat all enemies!

Sweep it all away!

Among them, naturally, is the king of gods.

——Zeus!

Lin Yi watched Athena's performance coldly, feeling only unfamiliar.

It was as if I had never met this goddess before.

Close your eyes, and everything in the past will turn into slides that flash through your mind.

Since leaving Lemnos Island, the person who has provided Lin Yi with the greatest help and the most attentiveness has been Athena.

To some extent, even Hephaestus can't compare to him.

After all, the red-haired goddess was not good at speaking and didn't quite understand what Lin Yi really wanted.

She is too introverted.

Live in your own little world.

But Athena is different!

Athena understands Lin Yi and knows what Lin Yi wants.

She guides the young man and offers her help when he needs it most.

Lin Yi has always been grateful for this.

That's why he made a covenant with Athena.

"I thought we would be friends."

When he opened his eyes, the scenes of the past shattered like a mirror, and the look in Lin Yi's eyes when he looked at Athena also became extremely calm.

There is no longer the same color as before.

Noticing this, Athena suddenly felt a little bored for some reason.

It was as if I was about to lose something important.

what is it then?

Goddess of wisdom, can’t think of it.

I always feel that it is something very important, but it doesn’t seem that important.

It is very small, like a speck of dust.

Compared to the hero who is about to be born, it is completely worthless.

If that’s the case, it should be something unimportant, right?

Athena thought so and put aside the distracting thoughts in her mind.

Regained former composure.

"Can't we be friends? I think we are still friends."

"We are no longer friends."

The boy shook his head: "We can never be friends."

"That's it."

With a finger to her lips, Athena made a choice.

"Forget it then. Anyway...from the beginning I just wanted you to be my treasure, my most important work."

The goddess of wisdom and victory needs no friends.

This was true during the Mecha God era, and it is still true now.

Even Zeus, the king of gods, was not considered a friend or partner in Athena's eyes.

I chose him in the first place simply because he was the strongest and could bring me victory.

That's it.

Yes, that's it.

Athena didn't care about the Twelve Mecha Gods, nor the Twelve Gods, let alone the cold pile of steel in space that looked like garbage, or the ignorant and boring flagship Chaos.

She cares about...

"Only myself."

The goddess of wisdom only loves herself.

And victory.

This is the goddess named Athena.

This is the real her!

[Now that things have come to this, you no longer have the heart to judge whether Athena is right or wrong. ]

[Just as she said, the hero has reached the end of the road and has reached the last level. ]

【Look at the top of Mount Olympus! 】

[A burly and majestic figure sits on top of the majestic sacred mountain! ]

[Thunder roared in the sky, and the moment when light and shadow intertwined illuminated Zeus' silent and solemn face.]

[The old man is like a lion, defending his own territory. ]

[He will crush all enemies who dare to invade Olympus! ]

[“Step forward!”]

[Overlapping, huge waves reverberate like thunder, making your eardrums buzz. ]

[Zeus's hair and beard stood out, his majestic chest muscles throbbed, and he raised the scepter that symbolized divine authority! ]

[He easily grasped the countless strands of lightning in his palm, and just a tiny bit of it leaked out, splitting a building-sized boulder and staining the ground with a layer of black ash.]

【That is the product of exposure to high temperatures. 】

[It is also the manifestation of Zeus’ supreme power! ]

【This is ..................】

【God King! 】

【King of the Gods! 】

[“Step forward, mortal!”]

[How can the God King condescend to welcome a mortal? 】

[He stood still as a mountain, and the huge wave hit again. ]

[The divine power, like the sea and the mountains, oppresses your body. ]

[Even after being strengthened by Ares, you still cannot resist this terrifying and surging divine power! ]

[So, sensing that the master is in danger, the eight pieces of armor automatically open the shield, and together with the faint light emitted by the golden bracelet, they protect you. ]

[Hermes's weapons are deployed, Athena's Aegis Shield forms the outer armor, Hephaestus's Void Engine is implanted, and Hestia's Primordial Fire provides it with an endless supply of magic power. ]

[Demeter's seed of life was embedded in the center of the armor, and Artemis and Apollo's stringless bows were fused into the two arms of the giant mecha, one on the left and one on the right, turning into crossbows.]

[Hera's crown of thorns falls.]
