Chapter 470

Theseus frowned deeply at the responses of his compatriots. He turned to Pyrrha who simply shrugged, her way of telling him that she would take no side in this. 

This left Theseus in a dilemma. He could easily use his authority to override the wishes of the others, but using it on the first day at the first unexpected situation would just be a testimony to a poor grasp of leadership and control. 

Sometimes, it was best to make compromises in the grand scheme of things. This was how he had often come out on top against his foes and why he was praised by all as wise and visionary. 

Theseus looked down and saw that the strange machines were still pointing their muzzles at him and his group, yet none were firing. 

To Theseus, this was a telltale sign that whoever was controlling them or whatever they were could be reasoned with. Understanding its purpose here might very well be the crux of their Divine Odyssey.
