The old man you see with your phone is highly suspicious.

Now, she is like "Athena who has returned from all the heavens and the worlds," completely parting ways with the virgin goddess of the past.

In other words, she has already "fallen into evil".

When she came to her senses, it was already late at night. The bright moonlight outside the window shone into the dilapidated temple, and Xue Dinglu was already asleep.

Athena was still reeling from the shock. She had received too much information at that moment, her personality was almost shattered, and her thoughts were almost twisted into those of another person. She still had a lot to process, including what she had seen about Zeus's usurpation of the world and the purpose of the child in front of her.

Olympus? Greece? The Aegean Sea? The places that the gods once considered to be the whole world now seem utterly absurd and laughable to her.

Her vision, perspective, experience, and mindset—everything had completely changed. Athena looked at the sleeping child.

Ragnarok, the Great Flood, the seven-day destruction, the alteration of history, and the final ending where Zeus alone creates paradise in Eden.

All of this could only be borne by the child before him alone, a resolve to face Zeus.

She had to do something too.

Whether as Athena, the goddess of wisdom, or as the teacher known as the "Great Sage," who entrusted her with a mission across the endless starry sky, she had no choice but to do something.

This world should not be entirely borne by a stranger.

A white owl came to Xue Lude's side, and without anyone knowing, she wrapped her wings around him and said, "May your journey always move forward, child."

The white owl disappeared, transforming into armor woven from feathers that covered Xue Luding's body.

Another pure white owl took flight and left the area. At that moment, she had to do something.

My child, I have felt your determination, your awareness, and everything about you.

So let us be of one mind and body now, no longer for selfish desires, no longer for this pointless theatrical performance.

The white streaks of light transformed into shooting stars, flying across all of Greece and towards Olympus.

She also came to understand many things: this world is an illusion, and the starry sky above her head is also an illusion.

This world is not a planet, but an inverted bowl. The east of Troy is the end of the world, and beyond the 12 zodiac signs is the end of the sky.

There are no stars or planets; the sun is the chariot of the sun god, and the stars are dead heroes...

The end of the Aegean Sea is the end of the world.

What an absurd and laughable...concept!

She even felt embarrassed and ridiculous about her previous understanding of the world; the so-called Olympian gods were really like powerful beasts.

They spend their days either reading heroic tales or breeding, as if they were nothing but wild beasts without the ability to reproduce.

And I was once a pathetic caged bird trapped in this cage called the "Aegean Sea".

Chapter 47 Greek Heroes Assemble

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

Those heroes destined to be famous in later generations all seemed to have the same dream tonight.

That was the Great Flood and the end times, an Eden created by a thief on the corpses of Greece, a world of his own making.

And a naive young man, who hurled that earth-shattering shot at the World Thief.

Everyone felt a sense of loss upon waking from the dream.

This is divine revelation!

The prelude to world destruction has begun, and the only hero who can stop it is in Troy!

All the heroes rose as quickly as possible; how could they possibly miss this opportunity to confront the collapse of the world?

This was precisely what these heroes relentlessly pursued: glory, achievement, bravery, and fearlessness—this was what these Greek heroes fought for.

And now, the great cause of saving the world appears before them at this moment. Facing the ultimate thief of the world, in the name of heroes, even if they die on this journey, it will be worth the price.

The heroes of classical Greece were so simple; in ancient Eastern times, that would be the idea that "a great man should wield a three-foot sword and achieve unparalleled feats."

The Greek heroes' ambition was to leave their mark on history and have their names etched in the annals of epic poetry.

Faced with the journey to save the world, even though they knew they were not the protagonists and that these Greek heroes were merely witnesses and assistants, they all rushed to Troy with all their might, fearing they would be too late.

Just like the heroes Jason built the Argo and set sail decades ago, they accomplished unparalleled feats, and their stories and epics can now be told even by a six-year-old child.

For the new era's Argonauts, they absolutely had to get on board, even if it meant crawling, even if it meant dying on the way to Olympus!

It seems that only the protagonist of the story, Xue Lude, did not participate in this sleepless night. When he woke up, he never expected that all the tough men in Greece would be rushing to his location like madmen.

They complained the boat was too slow and wished they could carry it and swim over.

They thought the horse was too slow and wished they could carry it on their backs and run over.

Some heroes didn't just come alone; they called upon their brothers, friends, fathers, sons... and all rushed towards Troy.

And they all remembered their mission: to come to Olympus and then, to kill the gods!

Yes, that's right, it's god-slaying.

This is the revelation Athena gave them.

Such a magnificent feat would be worthwhile even if it were only to buy time for that savior for a single second, and it would surely have a place in the epic myths and legends of later generations.

They've gone mad; at this moment, all the heroes of Greece have gone mad.

Even many heroes who would later be remembered in history frantically purchased horses, ships, and armor, all in order to make a name for themselves in this war to slay the gods, and also to stop this damned prelude to the apocalypse.

Some retired heroes were preparing to settle down with their wives and children, but upon seeing this impending world destruction, they immediately picked up their weapons from their youth, donned their armor, and bid farewell to their wives and sons.

The future protagonist of the Odyssey, the hero Odysseus, received this revelation just as his son was born and he was preparing to raise him properly. He explained everything, then put on the cloak of his youth and began his journey to Troy.

Ajax the Great, whose name may not be well-known, but their shield is famous in later generations as the Shield of Ajax, also known as the Seven Rings of the Sky.

King Agamemnon of Greece brought his fleet.

Thessalus, son of Hercules, came alone.

And the famous heel that would become famous in later generations, Achilles, who was only 12 years old at the time, had just returned from learning martial arts from his centaur teacher Chiron, and was an immortal hero.

Almost all the most powerful and strongest heroes of this era will gather in Troy!

These heroes came either to make a name for themselves in history, simply for the great feat of slaying a god, or after learning of the prophecy of the Great Flood.

At this moment, Xue Dinglu had just gotten up and felt much better.

Soon, his data was refreshed on the panel, and a notification popped up.

[Goddess's Blessing (Rank C): Reduces all pain and suffering you endure.]

"Hmm?" Xue Dinglu glanced at it and instantly understood the origin of the blessing, but he quickly stopped caring. After all, the blessing overlapped with the function of the Birdman Armor and was not very useful to him.

The Birdman Armor only covered his waist armor, but it kept him in a state of constant buff, otherwise he wouldn't be able to move normally in his current condition.

After clearing his head, he prepared to continue his journey for the day.

However, when he stepped out of the temple, he was completely stunned.

Hector, the great hero of Troy, seemed to have been waiting outside for a long time, surrounded by a crowd of Trojans who spontaneously cheered for the hero's appearance.

"Sexually selfless hero, we received divine revelation last night." Hector stated their purpose before Sexually could even ask a question.

Xue's Law: "?"

Seemingly oblivious to the bewilderment in Xue's Law, Hector continued, "We will gather all the power of Troy to build you a great ship capable of reaching Olympus."

"Not only us, but all the heroes of Greece are preparing to come together to Olympus to accomplish our great task." Hector, the middle-aged man, seemed to be getting a little excited as well.

“Just last night, we converted a three-oared boat into your warship. This ship was originally modeled after the legendary Argo and can fully meet our requirements.”

"If we put all our efforts into it, it should be completed within half a month. At that time, all the heroes of Greece will probably be gathered in Troy, and we can set off at full speed to reach Olympus."

Hector's words were filled with excitement, but Xue's Law was filled with even more questions.

In his original plan, he did intend to recreate the legend of the Argonauts, bringing a large group of Greek heroes to ostensibly "apologize" to Zeus, but in reality, to trick Zeus into going to the underworld.

But how come when he woke up, it seemed that all the heroes of Greece knew that he was going to fight Zeus?

Even the heroes had no faith in Zeus whatsoever; instead, they were all madly eager to join this feast and fight Zeus together.

Were all Greek heroes this fearless?

……

It seems like all of Greece has gone a bit crazy today.

This is Xue's only feeling.

Hector immediately set out to convert a large ship into a warship to carry heroes on a voyage, while the original shipwrights, upon hearing that this warship would be filled with heroes from Greece, just like the Argo, were in awe.

They were all like people possessed by a bloodlust, chanting, "If my ship could be filled with Greek heroes to participate in great deeds, it would be worth dying for!"

Chapter 48 Sky Thunder

The entire Trojan shipwrights were especially excited when the first hero who answered the call arrived.

Thessalons, the legendary son of Hercules.

They seemed to sense that a new epic was about to begin, an epic in which even ordinary people like themselves would have the opportunity to leave their names.

And Xue's Law seems to have figured out who was in charge of all this.

Just now, a pure white owl landed on his shoulder.

In ancient Greece, very few people could see through fate, and those who were were almost all sworn enemies of Zeus.

If we're talking about the goddess who most wanted to kill Zeus, Athena is definitely one of them.

Legend has it that Athena was born from a split in Zeus's mind. The moment Zeus saw Athena, he wanted to sleep with his own daughter and then eat her. Fortunately, she was protected by the three Fates and was able to escape Zeus's clutches.

As the owl spoke, it looked in the direction of Olympus: "I will create a grand epic for you, so grand that even Zeus would be moved and personally participate."

"And after Zeus leaves the stage, I will assist you in delivering the heaviest betrayal to my father, before Zeus completes his 'seven days of destruction' and before you deliver your fatal blow."

“So, let’s exchange information,” Athena said. “For example, some confidential information: Typhon, the ancestor of all demons, has been controlled by Zeus after being defeated by him…”

……

A pure white owl arrived at Apollo's temple. Athena looked at this temple, which she hadn't particularly liked before, but in just one night, her mindset, thoughts, and even soul were completely changed.

Consciousness and energy together constitute the soul of an intelligent being.
