I, with my frail and sickly body, simultaneously traverse hundreds of worlds.

The Book of the Greek Gods and Their Sons: Chapter 127 Reason Tells Me to Stay Away from the Goddess

Gazing at the surging sea, surrounded by azure waves, the waves crashing against the rocks on the shore.

The sea was turbulent, with huge waves crashing against the shore, resembling a majestic lake. Bai Zhi, however, stood blankly on the shore, her eyes unfocused.

How long has it been since we arrived at the Island of No Return?

Three days? Five days? One week? I7yi$散迩久{II

Today is the tenth day.

How can I describe my life these past few days?

Stheno's words, a mixture of praise and sarcasm, permeated every moment of their interactions. She was adept at praising people in every way, with almost no repetition of compliments, which soothed Bai Zhi's troubled heart caused by the gods.

Euryale listened in silence for most of the time, but when she spoke, she accurately hit Bai Zhi or Medusa's sore spots, enjoying their expressions of vulnerability and letting out a silvery laugh.

As for Medusa?

The two were like brothers in misfortune, secretly complaining about the numerous tasks while being ordered around by the two goddesses.

In that brief moment, he forgot the trials of the gods, forgot Hermes' waiting, forgot Athena's mission, forgot... the fact that he, as a mortal, was powerless to control his own destiny.

Bai Zhi once heard a saying: the end of a journey may be the journey itself.

Now, he has found the life he has always dreamed of. His daily life with the three Gorgon sisters is tough and desolate, but it is the time when Bai Zhi truly laughs heartily since she awakened her memories.

He had no idea when this peace would end.

He had a bad feeling, and the longer he stayed on the Island of No Return, the more terrifying this feeling became.

Until today, it has reached its peak.

"You have something you absolutely need to accomplish, right? It's not really appropriate to stay on the island indefinitely."

With an elegant demeanor, Euryale walked over.

Stheno's easygoing and noble nature makes her unsuitable for persuasion, while Medusa's self-sacrificing nature and inferiority complex also make her unsuitable for persuasion.

On the contrary, Euryale, whose personality is extremely unpredictable and who takes pleasure in the pain of humans, is more suitable to comfort Baizhi.

"I'm pretty, right? Cute, right? Hmm, hmm? So, is there something you want to tell me?"

Euryale patted her small, lace-trimmed chest, her face displaying a cheerful expression that seemed to say, "Tell me what's bothering you so I can have a good laugh."

Bai Zhi didn't mind the wet beach and sat down with a thud. The cool sea breeze blew up sand and dust, but it was repelled by his mental energy as it approached him.

"The ideal that people yearn for is within reach, but the harsh reality that we are forced to confront is imminent. Two completely opposite paths are laid out before me. I want to stay here and follow my ideal, but reality forces me to keep moving forward. Tell me, do I have a choice?"

The goddess Hephaestus granted him an immortal body, but with the help of 'for your own good,' she turned around and dealt him a heavy blow to his spirit.

Hermes, on the other hand, offered almost no practical help. Instead, he gave her a task within sight. Although the task was disrupted by the intervention of other gods, placing the task before her and letting Bai Zhi proceed at her own pace soothed her listless and restless spirit.

With each sip and each drink, Bai Zhi was truly exhausted, both physically and mentally. Then, on the Island of No Return, she unexpectedly found a place where she could find peace and comfort.

"Eureka, do you regret following Medusa to this godforsaken island? You should have been goddesses high above, but you've fallen to the dust in the mud. The difference between then and now is too great. In the dead of night, do you yearn for the glory of the past?"

Euryale didn't answer immediately. She hummed a song and walked with delicate steps, her slender feet gleaming like emeralds on the sand.

A pleasant fragrance wafted by, and before her eyes was a splash of purple. A soft touch came from her thigh, and a delicate body gently leaned against Bai Zhi's shoulder.

"Sitting on a single man's lap doesn't fit the elegant and reserved demeanor of a goddess. Aren't you worried about misunderstandings?"

"Oh~ Are you worried that I'll misunderstand~ or that Stheno will misunderstand~" Euryale wrapped her arms around Bai Zhi's neck, her mischievous face quickly approaching. Bai Zhi suddenly dodged, her body flowing like water, slipping away from Euryale and standing on the beach to the side.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not used to getting too close to other people," Bai Zhi explained, though it was unclear whether he was explaining to Euryale or to himself.

"Oh dear, you stingy fellow! The other me (Stheno) doesn't like petty people at all!"

Euryale tripped and fell on her bottom. Clutching her aching backside, she stood up angrily, glared at the nearby boulder, and snorted coldly. She called out, "Come out, my other self (Stheno). This silly boy is usually quite clever, but he's so clueless about this."

“This is rational thinking,” Bai Zhi added.

"Your stupid brain has given rise to the idea of ​​staying away from the goddess. I think you should change your mindset, go and take Medusa's job, work hard, and try to forget your brain."

Enraged, Euryale laughed, clutching her buttocks with one hand and pointing angrily at Bai Zhi with the other:

"Hmph! I've angered this petty goddess, and I won't let this go unpunished until tonight!"

"Oh dear, oh dear, living with family members as a partnership, going against the teachings of your elders—in the end, it's still your fault. By the way, little Jason, being a bit absent-minded is kind of cute, isn't it?"

With the same pleasant voice, but with an extremely noble tone, Stheno emerged from behind the boulder, glanced at his second sister on the beach, and Bai Zhi, who was deliberately keeping her distance, and the wicked smile on his face softened considerably.

He glanced at Stheno, then at the direction of the giant rock, and then at Stheno again.

“Your Reality Marble… is pretty outrageous.” Bai Zhi said after a moment of silence. He hadn’t noticed Stheno’s presence at all. His mental energy and divine sense had almost completely covered the area. Speaking of which, he hadn’t noticed Euryale when she approached earlier either.

Bai Zhi belatedly realized that these two goddesses were not only cute, charming, and sharp-tongued, but also held a very high status.

Stheno was weak, but her status was exceptionally high. She possessed the core of a goddess, a power of a higher rank than the divine blessing bestowed upon Bai Zhi by the gods.

This skill is only possessed by those who are born as perfect goddesses; it is a composite skill that includes divine abilities.

It can block any mental interference, and the body will not grow; no matter how many calories are consumed, the body shape will not change.

In the era of Greek mythology, where maidens were considered beautiful, any mortal who saw her would fall in love with her.

"Did you know? The three Gorgon sisters were originally earth goddesses who could protect a pure land. The people under the divine realm worshipped the goddess, and we protected a pure land. Until one day, when Medusa petrified a powerful magical beast, a bard who came from nowhere saw it, and everything changed."

The Book of the Greek Gods and Their Sons: Chapter 128 The First Malice

Stheno was a goddess without desires; she had no wishes.

If she had to compromise, she hoped that "the three sisters could live together forever."

That's why they came to the Island of No Form on their own initiative.

Therefore, despite her cold nature, she was so 'kind and approachable' when facing Bai Zhi, whose strength could shatter the Invisible Island.

Her only thought from beginning to end was that her family should always be together.

Unfortunately, our once-beloved homeland was destroyed by a deluge of slander.

Stheno still remembers that day when she and her other self (Eureka) waited for Medusa to return for a long time and went out to look for her.

Upon seeing the people she had been protecting, she cursed Medusa, the petrifying banshee, with extremely vicious curses.

The hardworking common people twisted the truth and clamored that the monsters were attracted by Medusa.

Women who had always longed for the goddess washed their bodies with muddy water, trying to cleanse themselves from the defilement of the monster.

The innocent and naive children used their pure and innocent words to depict this most vicious story.

One thing after another, Stheno and Euryale tried to stop it but failed, and they witnessed Medusa's transformation firsthand.

A pitiful girl who resembles her two older sisters loses her status as a goddess and gains the power to grow into a monster under the curse of a falsely accused monster.

That time, the perfect goddesses, unusually, lost their temper.

Humans? Things I don't understand.

Gods? Disgusting creatures.

Stheno and Euryale smiled, a smile both beautiful and cruel.

With every frown and smile, all those who were cursing and swearing felt that she was truly beautiful, breathtakingly beautiful.

It wasn't just her appearance, but something far more exaggerated; the space she was in seemed to exude a bewitching and intoxicating charm.

It captivated everyone, transcending the allure of physical attraction between men and women, revealing the ultimate beauty of heaven and earth and the greatest desires of the human heart.

That is the charm that only needs to be revealed to arouse people's interest, causing them to lose their rationality, be swept away by desire, and be at the mercy of the goddess.

The two perfect goddesses cast aside their outwardly benevolent masks, revealing the most tyrannical divinity beneath their beauty.

On that day, the three earth goddesses who protected a pure land became the Gorgon sisters with snakes for hair.

On that day, the city's residents wore rosy, satisfied smiles, but they stopped breathing in the most tragic pain.

On that day, the three sisters landed on a desolate, abandoned, invisible island in the ocean, becoming the island's only three inhabitants.

On that day, the rumors about Medusa spread throughout most of Greece.

"My wish is simple: a home for the three of us sisters to live in together," Stheno recounted, her violet eyes fixed on the past. "Your arrival shattered my home. Heh, lovely little one, if you didn't smell like the gods, perhaps you would have become my most beloved servant."

The goddess extended her palm, the gold ornaments on the back of her hand shimmering brilliantly in the sunlight; the touch of such a stunningly beautiful woman was hard to resist.

When Bai Zhi finally realized what was happening, the warmth on his cheeks told him that he had begun to hesitate.

She had clearly decided to stay away from all beautiful women and any pretty goddesses.

But why didn't they avoid Stheno?

Love? Definitely not.

Bai Zhi and Stheno had only known each other for a few days. During their time together, he would give her arrogant orders, make nasty jokes, and shower her with compliments. Unless someone had a personality flaw, it would be difficult for them to talk about love.

“Servant? If I didn’t have this immortal body, and the divine blessing of the sun, I would have long since become a mere stone statue on the island of nothingness.”

"Haha~"

Stheno did not refute Angelica.

Indeed, Bai Zhiruo did not have an immortal body, and upon seeing Medusa for the first time, she would turn into an unfeeling stone statue.

Without the divine blessing of the sun, that absolute attack that can destroy everything and shatter all will only make one a marginal figure on the island of the invisible.

But the result is different when the two are added together.

Stheno cared about nothing but her family.

Therefore, for the sake of her family, she could compromise; for the sake of her family, she could praise Bai Zhi to her heart's content; for the sake of her family, she could give the 'love' of a goddess.

It was precisely this 'love' for her family that was the real trigger for Bai Zhi's personality change.

After awakening his memories of his past life, Jason was tormented by the pain of that life. As a prince imprisoned and far from his parents, Jason had no one to share his suffering.

His choice to seek help from the gods brought him an even more terrifying abyss.

Bai Zhi believed in the gods' 'love' for him.

Artemis's 'love' is pure and innocent, teaching skills and bestowing blessings.

This 'love' is like offering help to a stray animal you encounter on the roadside, wanting to see how far the animal can go.

Apollo's 'love' was based on his sister's favoritism and his recognition of the seeds of music.

This 'love' is not pure; it is mixed with certain restrictions and resentment towards certain gods.

Hephaestus's 'love' is passionate and clingy, morbid and arrogant.

This 'love' is the 'mother's' domineering attitude towards the 'child,' and the heavy burden of 'doing it for your own good.'

The gods' 'love' is too heavy, too far-reaching, and far beyond what Bai Zhi can understand or accept.

Only Stheno, with his enthusiastic attitude, praising words, and petulant tantrums, was forced to lower his head and reveal his 'love'.

This 'love' is a forced 'love' based on the 'love' of the three sisters, with Bai Zhi being forcibly added to the mix.

But it was this 'love' for her family that Bai Zhi could not let go of.

To my shame, of all the people I've shared with Angelica dahurica, only Kiritani and Kazuto have foster parents and a foster sister, so I can experience a bit of the warmth of home.

All the other Angelica dahuricas were either alone, forced, or betrayed, until the very end when they were shared.

No one possessed the 'love' called 'family,' and this love was the key to Bai Zhi's downfall.

"So it's not too late. All desires for the goddess are normal thoughts. Look at her extraordinary charm."

Stheno's fingers slid from her cheek to her small, full breasts, then moved to her firm waist and abdomen. Her movements were alluring and seductive, and coupled with the ambiguous expression on her face, she seemed to have fallen from a perfect goddess into a mature succubus, tempting people to fall.

"...Are you deliberately playing me?" After a moment of silence, Bai Zhi spoke slowly, her tone calm: "Compared to the fake you now, I care more about the you who revealed your true nature before. Is something terrible about to happen? Your attitude has changed so quickly."

Turning her head, Bai Zhi looked up at the sky above the sea. Sometime earlier, eerie black clouds had gradually spread from the horizon, and the turbulent sea was slowly calming down.

All of this indicates that the situation is about to deteriorate in some way.

The Book of the Greek Gods and Their Sons: Chapter 129 The Conditions of the Sea God

"Oh dear, it's not the act of an elegant gentleman to actively expose a woman's thoughts~"

Being contradicted to one's face is unbearable for most people, let alone a proud goddess.
