◈ Chapter 75 - Love Is Under the Milky Way

For the world's sake.

Even though Greece is a country where hands speak louder than words.

Forest nymphs are rushing at guests to stab their guests with bamboo spears. What kind of demonic demon palace is this?

"I am. "Just because a pretty girl comes at you doesn't mean you will welcome her and look after her."

If I had just been crazy about pretty women, Moonlight Light Years and Artemis would have been okay.

But I also have my own standards.

The standard is even more stringent when it comes to an opponent pointing a weapon at me.

"First of all, I can roughly guess what Neri said, but like an intelligent being, didn't you think of solving it through conversation?"

"Slight...Slight..."

Demonic religion with 10,000 years of history, Korea with 5,000 years of history.

The human character system, which was used in both lands located on opposite sides of the continent, is also the ultimate.

Artemis's friends, who were more tenacious than they looked, were nymphs demonstrating the Wonsan bombing, which left them exhausted after setting a record of one hour.

It wasn't at a level where the bamboo spear, or wooden spear, standing by the head should have been stained with blood.

A little petting was unavoidable.

"What on earth were you thinking? "Did you really think I would be surprised by that wooden spear?"

This isn't some kind of romantic comedy.

No matter how much I am, if he suddenly attacks me with fire and a spear in hand, I have no choice but to deal with him half-sincerely.

He even had an expensive gift to give to our princess and a fresh new outfit.

Isn't it possible to throw one's teeth away because of the fierce fighting of faceless nymphs?

"I tried to be a bit gentlemanly. "If it turns out like this, there's nothing I can do, right?"

"Hey!"

"Hehe!

The gatekeepers trembled at the sound of my calm voice even when my head was stuck.

Fortunately, however, the bamboo spears of this forest did not follow the lead of Artemis' hunting party and attempt to set a new record for bombing Wonsan.

"In great detail, in great detail, what happened. Explain. "When I still use polite language."

The two nymphs, who were shedding tears as their legs began to shake, suddenly stood up and explained the situation to me.

To sum up, Neri is currently learning things like weaving and cooking from Chariklo.

Thanks to her natural charm, friendly personality, cute face, and status as a direct princess of the old gods, she was almost an idol to all the forest nymphs.

But when he heard that I was here, he started crying, lowered his head, and didn't say anything.

"Uhm.. So.. I thought maybe something harsh had happened to our princess..."

"I guess you could say I couldn't stay still as a nymph..."

In a situation where I couldn't help but say something was wrong, I couldn't say anything and just covered my face.

"Oh my gosh..."

I expected that it would be difficult to release Neri, following Atalanta.

Our beautiful sea princess gave me a more difficult ordeal than I could have imagined.

If you keep harassing the gatekeepers, it will only make Neri, who is already upset, even more angry.

So I decided to retreat for now and returned to the room.

Just like when he left Passos Island last time, once Neri gets upset, there is no way he will turn back, even if he uses Amman Dragon.

For the most part, Neri was a cheerful and cheerful person all year round, without a tendency to sulk easily, but perhaps as a reaction, once she sulked, she disappeared into the waves and did not appear for a long time...

This time, even though I thought about it, I was in a situation where I was guilty of high treason, so I couldn't even imagine how big Neri's anger would be.

"Even so, it won't be long before you forget everything and come back with a smile..."

No matter what, I still have a conscience.

A young girl who had come all the way to this land just looking at me was angry and protesting because of my insensitivity, but I couldn't just sit there idly.

"Hmm..."

I don't think I've ever worried like this even when I was practicing martial arts.

As I was pacing around the room, pondering my quite complex and subtle feelings, something caught the eye.

"...Ah!"

A plan informed by the Queen of the Gods and the Messenger of the Gods.

And the cuties I got this time.

This works.

With an idea flashing in my mind and a plan left behind by the gods, I immediately got up and left the room.

* * *

Word of mouth about the nymphs spread across Greece in an instant.

In this heroic forest, where the aura was especially strong, the whispers of trees and flowers spread through the mouths of the nymphs throughout the forest in almost real time.

The picturesque confrontation between the beautiful female hunter and the dark hero that took place in Athena's classroom instantly reached Nesneria's ears.

"Joy! Joy! "Except me!"

Nes Neria still had no doubt that Dia Nes would be hers.

Now, in human form, I am hanging out with various mortals.

After all, as her mother and her sisters said, if one day her lover attains the karma of immortality.

He was convinced that the only person who could stand by his side was Nesneria, the sea princess who had been with him since mortal times.

So, starting now, tying up and tying up your lover could actually suffocate him and make him turn even more outward.

I tried to continue the relationship by keeping my distance and maintaining intimacy for a long time, but...

"This! "It's too much!"

No matter how much it is.

Even though it's only been a few days since you broke up with her, she's already taken on a human lover(?) And even left you alone for almost a week in less than two days since you reunited.

Even as soon as she breaks her isolation, she goes looking for that beast-like red human woman, not even herself!?

"It's fun! "I think I'll tell my mother and she'll put a curse on me!"

Should I make it with red seaweed?

No, since he's a red man, he's a goldfish?

According to the story of the trees that continues, the beautiful huntress Atalanta and the black-haired freshman clung to each other and did not separate throughout the training.

It is said that the sight was sticky, like watching snakes mating, and Atalanta's eyes were as if they were going to pounce on him at any moment.

Even the minor hero Dianes, who had never once allowed an attack except for Hercules and Chiron, accepted Atalanta's attack.

The entire forest whispered that it was not just a sparring match, but a passionate love affair between tough Greek heroes.

"Seeing..."

Even though it was my mother's advice and her sisters' advice that was never wrong.

No matter how far she tried to go, her heart, which felt like it was about to burn out, continued to erode her patience.

She wants to run right now, hug her lover, and drag him into the deep sea where no one can find him.

She never wants to see his face again, having neglected her for a week and strangely only caring for his human lover.

However, when I look at her again, I feel like she will forget everything else and do whatever those black eyes tell her, so I am on guard again.

In the end, Nes Neria could only grumble alone as her three-parted mind was in conflict with each other and her head was pounding dizzyingly.

"Dia is bad..."

She is just a minor hero, and all she has to do is continue to live within herself and her path.

Dianes, who was a young child, became a tall young man, a middle-aged man, and a decrepit old man until he finally breathed his last.

All you have to do is hold her hand, walk with her on the shore, and swim in her waves.

Why do you come all the way out here and hang out with a woman who is a wild beast who uses strange violence and ignores you like this?

"But you should have gone out when you came earlier?"

Earlier, when her older sisters, the former gatekeeper, heard that Dianes had come to visit her, Nesneria almost ran out, forgetting that she had been angry all along.

However, the daytime martial arts class where the trees were still ripe awakened my anger again.

The slurp that she had been using against her sisters made the gatekeepers chase Diane out.

"No, because he always just smiles at me. "You came here so carelessly."

That's not possible.

She is the princess of the sea who is loved wherever she goes in the world.

This was the moment when Nes Neria took full control of her heart, telling her that he would make her pay the price for looking lightly at such a being.

-𝆕𝅘𝅥𝅘𝅥𝅮~

"Uh?"

This is the forest near the sea, the most remote of the forests of nymphs.

It is a place where the trees are still young and cannot whisper, and nymphs do not set foot there to protect the growing buds.

While chatting for no reason, young trees should not be exposed to bad water.

It is deep at night, even the nymphs are asleep now.

In the quiet forest where Nesneria is located, with the intention of returning to the sea if the situation arises.

A strange melody began to sound out of nowhere.

"W-what is it?"

The early education of the nymphs, who were always targeted by heroes and gods, paid off, and Neri quickly got up and prepared for battle.

The quietly resounding tune disappeared as if it had never happened before.

"You didn't hear it wrong. What?"

'In the end, the only thing she can trust at the end is her own judgment.

No matter what others say, no matter how much your thoughts and circumstances confuse you, if you are like this! If you feel it clearly, you have to push ahead.'

"...Joy! Even at times like this, I come out and nag."

Nesneria was upset for no reason by the flirtatious words that popped out from time to time.

Nevertheless, as she said, she began to listen again.

The sound of the wind tickling your ears.

The faint chatter of small trees.

The sound of animals moving through the forest.

-𝅘𝅥𝅘𝅥𝅯𝅘𝅥~

And the blue eyes sparkled as the strange melody began to sound again.

"There!"

I don't know why, but as the black playboy said, Nesneria followed her own judgment.

So to speak, she decided to do as she pleased.

For a moment, I wish I could run through the forest with a brisk step like a hare.

The trees in the forest are slowly disappearing, and the cool waves and wind blow over the cliff.

There he was

"..."

Putting the bizarre instrument on her lap.

Against the backdrop of the bright moonlight shimmering on her jet-black hair and the Milky Way hanging like a veil above her head.

Her beautiful man waiting for someone with a beautiful melody that silences even the sound of the waves.

◈ Chapter 76 - Three People Will Come.

A day when bright sunlight fell on the deep sea palace.

King of the ocean, guardian of the deep sea, old man of the sea, youngest daughter fool, etc.

It was the day when the giant Oceanus, known by many different names, invited the gods of Olympus to his palace in commemoration of Titanomachy.

I don't remember the reason, but after arguing with Dianes, I returned home in a fuss, and the sound of the waves and the sisters' laughter had disappeared and there was silence.

A beautiful melody that she had never heard in her life pulled her to her feet.

The place where the melody was heard was the Titanomachy Memorial Banquet Hall, which Father Oceanus had put all his effort into decorating.

In the middle of a huge banquet hall that would still have room for a thousand legions.

The young Nereis nymph was immediately captivated by the blond male god shining brightly like sunlight and the lyre played in his hand.

However, as soon as the performance was over, I felt like I was completely awakened by the grumpy eyes and words and actions of her flirting with her older sisters.

Nesneria had never heard a more beautiful performance since then.

"Hwaaah...!"

But today.

The beautiful and exotic performance captured her heart, overlapping her memories.

The silver moonlight shattered like a jewel above her head. The constellations quietly listen behind his back.

A foreign instrument that plays a rough and heavy foreign melody that is the exact opposite of the sun god's lyre.

When I walked through her forest with her on Passos Island, Dianes said that her performance was a vessel containing the feelings of the person who created her music and a mirror that reflected the feelings of the person performing it.

So, what is that black-haired lover playing now?

What does the melody that blends with the waves and depicts a pure white ocean current contain?

'What should I do by saying it?'

Not only for the prestigious gods of Olympus, but also to seduce other beautiful nymphs.

Not even for that obnoxious red wild beast.

It is so beautiful because it is played by her and only for her.

'And because he's handsome.'

Apollo, who was praised as the god of the sun and the handsome man of Olympus, was indeed a handsome man whose beauty was as dazzling as the sunlight.

In Nesneria's eyes, Diane's deep-set black eyes, like the calm darkness of the deep sea, and the shadowy face of Dianes, where the word corrúptĭo (degenerate) naturally popped out, were more to her liking.

Her bright sunlight cannot reach the deep sea in which she contains her body, but her endless darkness has always been an inseparable companion to the sea.

To be honest, the playboy's endless charm and beauty played a part in Nes Neria's ability to forgive and ease her mind so easily.

What about that power and wisdom?

No one will be able to doubt the power and wisdom that brought Hercules to his knees and the witty autumn speech of Olympus.

And a man like that would drop everything and play just to change his mind.

It is certainly an offering that no other goddess can appreciate.

How long was he playing?

The other nymphs, including the gatekeeper, must have been on tight security to prevent men, especially the horny little heroes of the forest, from trespassing into the forest.

How long did she wait for that melody to reach her?

Just thinking about this warmed her heart.

"Huh..."

Is it okay for me to forgive you at this level?

His father also had various goddesses and nymphs as mistresses in addition to his mother, although he also quarreled with her mother over these.

When the ocean giant sang with all his heart and asked for forgiveness, contrary to his mountain-like majesty, the goddess of the first drop of water, seeing his sincerity, showed that she was willing to forgive him.

It was time for her to change her behavior according to what the beautiful musician was doing to her.

-𝅘𝅥𝅮~

For the last time, her melodious notes that echoed on the shore subsided, and her half-closed black eyes turned to face her.

* *　＊

Lovers that happened to me out of nowhere.

Nesneria, who washed over me like a pure white wave, and Atalanta, who pushed me in unknowingly like her nature, were beings that made me think that I was recognized as a member of this world.

Every time I got entangled, I couldn't see the good side, but it reminded me even more of the wonderful relationships I had in my past life.

Atalanta is more bold and cute than hateful.

On the contrary, she is the woman who made me feel afraid for the first time, and at the same time, she is Nesneria, who makes me obsessed with her so that I cannot let go of her.

If it were me in my past life, I would have let go long ago, no matter how much effort and obsession I had to devote to relationships that would eventually leave.

The unexpected greeting and cringe-inducing courtship were all very unfamiliar and unfamiliar experiences to me.

Because putting in the effort out of a selfish desire to do this rather than a tactical judgment that it should be done this way was in itself useless in martial arts or war.

Something new. Something unfamiliar. Still willing.

Perhaps that's why I like it even more.

That's probably what makes me move.

As I half expected, when I finished playing, I found myself smiling for some reason as I looked at the Girl of Waves standing facing me.

"How have you been doing?"

"...Pii."

Neri was still puffing out her white cheeks as if she was in a lot of pain.

There was no longer any anger or hatred on her face, only her cute heartache and a little disappointment.

"Sorry. "You've been sad all this time, right?"

"You know, right? Fit!"

No matter what, it wasn't a person who could be lured in with talk, and I was determined that it was a relationship that I had to face with sincerity.

Rather than spewing out unnecessary rhetoric, I decided to explain it openly.

The bad relationship between Apollo and Artemis, the advice of Hermes and Hera, the busy collaboration with Hestosias for this purpose, and even the circumstances of not being able to meet him first in the forest of nymphs.

"Ah... Is that why you were so busy?"

"Yes, because you never know when an arrow will fly from the sky. "There was no time to catch my breath."

In fact, most of Hestosias' requests were done day and night, and they were so dense that it took a week, so I couldn't sleep well.

Fortunately, thanks to the fortune-telling breakfast and the recovery magic that was recently taught to me by the goddess Hera, I am in good spirits.

No matter how much I am, I can't run all night for a week with my bare body and still be fine.

"Princess, how was this criminal sentenced?"

"Ugh."

Neri, who was looking up at the crescent moon in the sky as if anxious by my story, sighed at my humorous question.

"Is Crescent Moon okay now?"

"First of all, it is said that the Supreme Goddess severely scolded the Goddess of the Crescent Moon. They say that another goddess is probably in charge of the crescent moon chariot."

If the divine power of the Great God, which even I was in awe of, had been hit head-on in an angry state, no matter how foul-tempered Artemis was, she wouldn't have been okay.

As they talked, Hera said that Artemis was currently recuperating in the temple of her brother Apollo, and that another moon goddess was in charge of the movement of the moon.

"So no worries right now."

"Hehe, I'm glad."

Neri smiled reassuringly and took the seat next to me.

Then he leaned his pure white head on my shoulder and pouted his pretty lips.

"Anyway, if you had just stayed in Passos with me, such a dangerous situation wouldn't have happened.

"I'm glad that Hera is helping me."

"...Sister?"

It was quite surprising that Hera called Neri her youngest sister in a friendly way, but when Neri also calmly called the goddess her older sister, she felt strangely at odds.

It felt like a cute sparrow sitting on my shoulder, snickering, looking at a dragon flying in the sky and calling out, "Hey, it's her big sister."

"Ahem. Even if it looks like this, from the sea to the sky. "I'm a princess that no one knows~"

"Oh my. I don't know. "Princess mama."

"If you understand, please accept it."

My time with Neri was always like this.

Going back and forth between mythology and daily life, between young children and the elderly.

We accumulated time in small ways, and those small moments came together to become the relationship we have now.

I stroked Neri's pure white hair, which tickled her face, and she snuggled into my arms like a cat, as if she liked my touch.

"Because time is long anyway..."

Neri smiled meaningfully, as if he was okay with it now.

* * *

Around the time the young lovers were having a great time on the beach.

Chiron, the heroes' teacher, was welcoming some truly strange guests.

"Long time no see. Chiron!"

Haha.. Oh, it's been a while."

A handsome man with blazing crimson eyes arrogantly asks to shake his hand.

Chiron couldn't figure out how to feel about him, who had dark brown blonde hair tied up in a wild, wild style that seemed to be an exquisite mix of his mother's and father's hair colors.

"I'm glad you look healthy. Ares."

"Well, I never run out of new jobs. I'm busy. Still, I'm just happy to meet such a great warrior after such a long time!"

God of War. King of warriors. Eternal fighter.

Ares the god of battle.

As a teacher, the fact that he visited the land of small heroes was extremely unsettling.

What made him even more confused was the presence of the goddess who smiled and embraced him in friendly terms.

Hehe~ I've been fine. Chiron? Glad to see you look healthy. How are you doing with Kari Clo?"

Haha... More, thanks to you, I'm doing well. "Eris."

When I ask how I am doing, does it really mean that I am doing well?

Or is it the pink goddess who gives you a greeting that you can't tell if she's telling you to be prepared because she won't be able to survive soon?

Eris, the goddess of discord and strife.

The God of War and the Goddess of Discord, who almost always stick together, appear together.

Chiron was even anxious that a great war might break out in his sanctuary.

"You two, please be quiet. "It's noisy."

"Yes."

"Yes!"

However, fortunately, in Greece, if there was an accident, a goddess was present who could easily control the two gods competing for rank.

"Hmm, Nemesis. "Is this... Really true?"

"Yes, Chiron. "This is something that Hera and Zeus, who have already given it to us, have allowed."

The owner of the now hidden black wings and scale sword.

What the Nemesis of Judgment gave him was a permission slip.

A letter of permission allowing the three gods currently facing Chiron to perform divine work in the Forest of Heroes.

"In the end... Does Zeus want war?"

-Ujijik...!

What does it mean to say that these three perform divine work in their own forest?

Chiron, who was not unaware of this, glared at Nemesis with her eyes flashing.

◈ Chapter 77 - Zeus' True Intention.

Ares of war and battle, Eris of discord and strife, and Nemesis of judgment and justice.

No matter how rich the land is, blessed by Demeter, the gods are like disasters who instantly turn it into a wasteland where not a single blade of grass grows.

Nemesis was, at least, a god who was feared as much as feared due to his fair nature.

The god of war and discord, who always appears as one in any place where war breaks out, would openly perform his divine work in this forest.

Chiron's anger reached its peak when he even sent a permission letter with the seal of Olympus stating that this was permitted in the name of Zeus and Hera.

"Zeus, Zeus, king of the gods. The prophecy has come true. "Are you saying it doesn't matter what happens to the other children?"

A wise man who inherited the blood of the Titan God King Kronos.

Although he was unable to ascend to the status of a god because he rejected his divine work, his power and authority were revered by even the twelve gods of Olympus.

His power, which united the violent Centaurs in the name of his brothers, was unparalleled by any other king on earth.

In the past, the mighty warrior who fought against the outlaw army that filled the land in the confrontation with the Titans was buried in time and forgotten.

The three gods present here vividly remembered the power of Chiron, a warrior and not a wise man in the past.

"Oh... As expected, no matter how much time passed, the king of the wild horse who fought against the forces of Menoitios did not go anywhere."

As he faced Chiron's earth-shattering wrath head-on, Ares' eyes sparkled as he watched his hair flutter like wildfire.

Before he knew it, he was armed with gold-glittering armor and a scarred steel helmet, and in both his hands was holding a flaming spear and a shield sparkling with power.

"Ares. "Can I really think of it as your will to see the end now?"

"Chiron, this is my chance to compete with you, who ran into battle with his father, so what does it matter what the reason is?"

A clash between an ancient warrior and the greatest wise man of Greece and a fighting god who has presided over all wars and struggles since history.

Nemesis' closed eyes twitched at the bomb-like situation where the warriors cheered, the people groaned, and the kings screamed.

"Ares? Chiron? "There seems to be a bit of a misunderstanding..."

Nemesis felt a familiar headache at the sudden and unexpected situation, but he tried to stop it...

"Haha!! Exciting! It's a fight! Who will win? Ohhh~!!"

Her younger brother is now excited to encourage her to fight, as her new skills are about to be unleashed in the most explosive and dangerous way.

They even forgot why they came here.

It is clear that the body of a god is free from all diseases and disabilities, but Nemesis felt like the back of his neck stiffened at the mess unfolding in front of him.

"Chiron, as an apology for the disrespect brought upon your sanctuary and as a tribute to you as a great warrior of the Titan Wars. "I'll let you decide the battlefield and time."

"Kihahaha! I'm excited, I'm excited, I'm excited, I'm excited~. Our side wins. Oh my~? If Chiron-sama orders, will this area be covered in blood like Dionysus' festival? Oh my! "It's completely my taste!"

While the fair and stern Nemesis hesitates due to a slightly chronic headache.

As if to show off her warlike personality, Ares taunted Chiron by distorting her tall face in a vicious way.

Adding to that her damn little brother, who is furiously screaming and pouring oil on her, is an added bonus.

"..."

Nemesis, who was quietly watching this, slowly raised his hand.

As the beautiful hand, which could not be believed to be the hand of a cold judge, twisted the air, a white sword flashing pure white light appeared.

If the sword of balance makes justice and judgment, the white sword of Haan is the sword of execution that punishes criminals according to that judgment.

The White Sword Goddess, who presides over the justice and judgment of this land that no force or power can dare to evade, has revealed her divine status.

"Uh? Sister?"

"...Nemesis?"

"...No wait, sister!"

Eris, who experienced that power the most and most often, was the first to scream.

Next, Chiron's eyes, who had witnessed Nemesis' judgment several times, widened.

Finally, at the end of the war, Ares, who had witnessed the judgment being carried out due to the recklessness during the war, was so shocked that he withdrew his spear.

Chiron's office suddenly entered a lull.

However, the divine power of the judgment sword in her hand showed no signs of abating, and the anxiety of the two gods and one immortal reached its peak at the sight of it.

"Sigh!"

The white sword was swung resolutely, distorting even the space, and striking the criminal.

"Uh? "Sleep!?!"

-Too boom!

The judgment of the white sword, whose limit was barely able to track a leaping body with its eyes.

The sinner who bore the brunt of that judgment was the maiden of discord, who blasphemously toyed excitedly between the wise man and the warrior.

Still, did he see her as her younger sister?

Or was the sin too light to be punished by the power of judgment?

There was no such thing as a pink meteor breaking the ceiling and crossing the sky, or Eris disappearing without leaving a scream.

It's just like a pigeon hit by a slingshot, falling from the ceiling and rolling around on the floor.

The sight of golden Ichor flowing through his seductively shiny pink hair was pitiful, but Chiron and Ares were unable to say anything as if cold water had been poured on their heads.

"You two?"

"Yep! Sister!"

"Hmm! "Okay, I'm listening."

Nemesis' eyes, which had always been closed to avoid losing focus on visible situations, opened with a pure white glow.

No one here knew that those stern white eyes were shining.

Chiron, who never bowed his head to anyone other than the three highest officials, and Ares, who often confronted her father Zeus, instantly became a gentle sheep and silenced her.

"...From now on, I will convey the commands of the main gods and the will of the old night mother.

If you try to interfere with this, Zeus and Hera, the king and queen of Olympus.

It was judged to be an act of disregard for the authority of Nyx, the old night mother who was the leader of the protogenoi.

"I will punish this in the name of Nemesis, who presides over the deity of judgment and justice."

Baek Ahn, who glared at the three who had become quiet, put an end to this mess with a divine declaration.

* * *

The highest and highest peak of Olympus.

"Oh, my goddess, my queen. The most beautiful Hera. I can't believe you came to me first. "I'm so happy."

Even today, Zeus, who was still looking down on the world from a place where he could overlook everything, was greeting his companion who had come to visit him first for some reason.

Her blonde hair, which shined brighter than the golden sun, and her golden eyes that sparkled with pride and authority as a monarch, sparkled with joy at the visit of her long-time wife.

"..."

Although facing the highest god's hospitality that no other goddess or woman in the world could receive, the queen of the gods and mistress of the heavens just stared at him without saying a word.

"...Uh. Hey, Hera?"

"..."

Usually when Hera found Zeus first, she was one of two.

Either to discover the existence of the nymph or human lover he was secretly dating and to interrogate him.

Either to lash out fiercely in her anger at Zeus' rescue of her lovers whom she had punished.

In particular, Hercules, who safely hid it in the Forest of Heroes, has grown up and can no longer be hidden thanks to the cooperation of Hermes and Zeus.

Instead of Hercules, who could not cause harm due to his sanctuary, he would come here to personally beat and roast the adulterous man who was her father and her husband.

'...I haven't even boasted about Hercules these days.'

Hera, who had treated Zeus as a near-deity after her incident, hung her on the end of her world and even tied her anvil to her feet in a fit of rage for her sin of trying to harm the child of her prophecy. It was.

He didn't even want to see her, so he didn't even come into Olympus's home, and when she returned from wandering around the underworld, Zeus was more than happy to see her.

Zeus' anxiety slowly rose at the reaction of the goddess, whom he had never seen before, even after a long life of new birth and marriage.

"Hey, Hera. My love, my queen. What happened last time..."

"What are you planning?"

In the end, unable to overcome the long silence, Zeus spoke first, but Hera silenced him again and asked.

"Hera, what are your intentions? I said I was sorry for being so angry back then..."

"Not about that. "I'm talking about sending Ares."

Ares is always traveling all over Greece and going from battle to battle.

No matter how many people around him pointed at him and called him a warmonger and a barbarian, he was taboo.

To her mother, he was a precious son who never hid her respect and affection, and was also a loving son who was even more angry than her mother at her father's affair and confronted her father.

The child returned home after a long time, but Zeus did not welcome him properly and sent him down to earth again.

This was because Hera was involved in her case, which she had notified permission to at the request of her sisters.

"Oh, you mean that? Ares is now well over a thousand years old, but how long will he continue to roam the battlefield?

So, spread the faith directly to the young demigods..."

"Are you going to change the conversation here?"

Zeus tried his best to dissuade him with the feeling that something was coming.

Hera closed her eyes, as if she was disappointed by Zeus' reaction, and then turned away again.

"Hey, Hera! Wait for a sec!"

"..."

If I had scratched my insides and pecked her every time I saw her face like I always did, I would have let her go again.

Hera spoke to her for the first time since the last incident where she was hung at the end of the world, and the dewdrops hanging from the goddess's eyes as she turned away in silence made the supreme god stand up in a gasp.

"Whew... Okay, okay. Sorry. However, this is not something I can open my mouth about easily..."

"What is it?"

Zeus was not the only one who felt puzzled by her companion's reaction.

Normally, if it had to do with an adulterous woman, Zeus wouldn't beg like this.

I would have been relieved to see her turn away without saying a word, but it was unusual for her to be unable to keep her mouth shut while trying to explain something like this.

"My Queen, what you asked for. "It's probably because of Nyx's newly appeared creation, right?"

"As expected, you knew?"

Although he tried to hide it by giving strict orders to Hermes, Zeus's eyes and ears were spread throughout Greece.

Even in terms of eloquence and wit, it was rare for him, who was better than Hermes, to know anything in Greece.

"Yes that's right. "My sister-in-law, Nemesis, said she wanted to teach her younger brother, who had already shown divine power in a human body, how to use that power properly and how to do it."

Cultivating and cultivating the time that lasts just over a hundred years, counting the years to that soul.

A young god with a human body who possesses magic and martial arts that would make even the gods in awe.

Although it was still called by a human name, Hera had no doubt that it was a new creature that would soon receive a new name and new job.

Even as he looked at her with his greedy eyes, he did not give his eyes to her goddess' beauty or her queen's power, but only coveted her wisdom and knowledge that she had built up.

Despite his own power and knowledge, the young god desired higher knowledge like a hungry beast.

How could a child who had eyes that she longed for from the great gods in the distant past and was qualified to seek them end her life as a human?

"They're unique, unlike kids these days."

"Aha! "That's why you've been quiet these days..."

"..."

"Sorry."

Anyway, I don't know what will happen in the future, but if the child gains a divine position and ascends to Olympus, or at least becomes a hero with the power of a demigod, I am thinking about sending him to Hecate and having him enter her secret ways.

When Nemesis and Eris, who had asked her for the first time in a long time, asked to teach him, she readily accepted.

But you send Ares in the middle of all this?

"What are you planning? Zeus?"

"Okay..."

No matter how much Hera was, she needed Zeus' consent to allow the gods to enter and display their divine power in the sanctuary consecrated by Zeus and her twelve gods.

Zeus also sent it as an ultimatum to agree, unless she was very mean to him.

Zeus added an absurd clause to it and disposed of it without her knowledge.

"Hera, will you please swear to Styx?"

"The Oath of Styx?"

Zeus nodded her head heavily as Hera questioned whether she had heard correctly.

"That's right."

"Zeus, what the hell are you..."

"No matter how much you do, you can't tell me any more than this. "If I just go, I have no choice but to suffer your resentment."

In the heavily sunken gold, Hera forgot her surging anger and closed her mouth.

How could Zeus, who was so frivolous and light-hearted, look so heavy in his eyes and even mention the oath of Styx?

However, upon seeing those eyes, Hera decided that she needed to know the true intentions of the Supreme God right now.

"Hera, Queen of Gods, Goddess of Goddesses, Daughter of Cronus and Keeper of the Sacred Covenant, swears by the Styx, the river of the underworld, the crossroads of fate, upon which all pass and all cross.

"My companion, Zeus, king of the gods, will not reveal the secrets he is about to reveal to me."

-Cookung!

Deep underground, the river goddess received her queen's oath, and celestial nebulae recorded her oath.

A heavy covenant was bound on the hands of Hera and Zeus that even they could not resist.

Zeus sighed heavily and began to reveal her secret to Hera's eyes, who wanted an answer even as her face grimaced at the weight of it.

◈ Chapter 78 - Zeus' True Intention (2)

There are many people who have the power of prophecy and foresight.

Prophet Prometheus.

Apollo killed the giant snake Python and gained the godhood of prophecy.

Hermes gains wisdom at the intersection of the present, past, and future.

Hecate, who predicts the future through ancient secrets.

And, along with Apollo, Dionysus is in charge of the prophecy of Delphi and glimpses the future through drunken visions and ecstasy.

It was in the winter of ten years ago, when Dionysus prophesied, that Zeus began to move in earnest.

Dionysus, who was drunk and sprawled out on the altar giving oracles in the shabby temple of Delphi without believers, wine, or even pilgrims, waved his hands helplessly when he saw him.

As usual, the son wandering around Greece pretended to be drunk and wanted to see his father for the first time in a long time, so the believer also got drunk and called him.

The moment I simply understood that and approached him to help him up.

Dionysus, who was in a dazed state of intoxication, rushed to him and whispered an oracle in his ear.

"The oracle of Dionysus?"

"You know. "How messy and complicated the drunken oracle is."

If it weren't for the divine power that passed through my eyes blurred with intoxication, I would have just passed by thinking that the god of intoxication was performing his divine work.

No, just when I thought that even that divine power was a manifestation of intoxication and was about to move on.

Dionysus left one name as if he were leaving a will and then fainted.

"Prometheus. Dionysus fell, leaving behind the name of a prophet."

Prometheus, the only god of prophecy who truly predicts the future.

A prophet above prophets, a creator above creators.

The great titan, who is the only one who can foresee all futures, is punished by being chained to a rocky mountain in the Caucasus and having his liver pecked out by an eagle for stealing the fire of the past gods and passing it on to humans.

Zeus wanted to hear the prophecy known only to him as a condition of releasing him, but Prometheus remained silent and steadfastly endured punishment for thousands of years to assert his legitimacy.

Even though Zeus visited him repeatedly to cajole and threaten him, the giant god who had always closed his eyes and kept his mouth shut, went to see him with the oracle of Dionysus, and he opened his mouth for the first time in thousands of years.

"Even Prometheus, who was hanging on the mountain, heard Dionysus' oracle and put aside his previous grievances and interpreted it."

"Even Prometheus?"

Hera's eyes widened at the fact that the giant who had always silently and firmly maintained that he was innocent had opened his mouth.

"So, Prometheus has been liberated?"

"No, that's..."

Tsk, you stubborn old man.

Zeus wheezed softly, "What a stubborn old man he is."

"As the matter is a matter, I helped interpret it. He told me to stop telling him the prophecy and to take it easy.

"He closed his mouth again."

"Zeus, still..."

"Hera. Don't talk any more about this.

The fact that you've done all that and still keep your mouth shut probably means that the incident is as important as the child you care about.

"How can a prophet who spares prophecies for pilgrims who are supposed to receive them be tolerated!"

Zeus roared at Hera, who was about to forgive Prometheus for helping him with such a great cause, with lightning flashing in her eyes.

-Kwarung!

In line with the Thunder God's anger, lightning struck the sky of Olympus, and a strong wind swept past the peak of Olympus.

"Ugh!"

"I'm sorry. "I'm so excited..."

When Hera groaned at the divine power of the supreme god suddenly striking all directions, Zeus suddenly came to his senses and apologized.

Hera saw the anxiety and agitation in Zeus' eyes that could not be hidden.

"Whoa... What am I saying?"

Zeus, this thunderbolt-wearing supreme god and her youngest brother, often puffed out his chest in pretense and boldness, but in her eyes she still saw the little boy trembling in fear of Cronus on Mount Lycaeon.

"Hmm, sorry. Anyway, as a reward for Prometheus' cooperation, the eagle was briefly bitten.

Understand me."

"Anyway, what about it? "What on earth is that oracle?"

"That's... Sorry, I don't know."

"...What?"

No, now.

He made her wife and queen of the gods take the oath of Styx.

Are you going to even tell me where that oracle came from and then shut up again?

"You really want to see the end?"

"Zi, calm down, sister! "That's why I can't speak!"

"If you don't convince me before I count to ten, one of you will vacate the throne today.

"Zeus, king of the gods, great god."

Seeing Hera warning clearly rather than fuming in anger, Zeus trembled and quickly explained.

"Prometheus said it was not a confirmed prophecy, but a prophecy that always changes depending on interpretation, so he told me not to say it out loud, so I can't say it!"

"...Hmm."

He is Zeus, who explains the situation as quickly as the thunderbolts he fires.

It is a prophecy that depicts an uncertain and uncertain future.

It was truly a prophecy of Dionysus.

However, even Prometheus had told Zeus to keep his mouth shut.

If the oracle were to spread, the worst case scenario would be that not only Olympus but all of Greece could become embroiled in it.

"Well, the only thing that is certain is that the child you are eyeing is the one related to the oracle."

Zeus was more careful and meticulous than Hera thought.

Well, if he had followed his father's example of ruling only by force, he would have been dethroned long ago.

However, she kept to herself such a huge event, a prophecy that would cause even greater turmoil than the Great Prophecy, and even extended her hand to Dianes before she did and sent her to the Forest of Heroes.

"First of all, it's a good thing that he has a cordial relationship with you. I am grateful. Hera"

"...Really?"

"There's no way I would lie to you."

What is this shameless husband saying now?

"I would really appreciate it if you would just shut up. Supreme God."

"Note..."

"Anyway, I understand your sincerity. Somehow, I must have asked Hermes, but I thought it was strange that he didn't say anything even after getting to this situation."

"Eh, eh~ You all knew it was me. This is the child you cherish so much. "I am also paying special attention."

Even while looking with disdain at Zeus, who was slowly approaching with a trembling charm that was useless.

Hera could see why Zeus had even sent Ares along with her to support a hero of her own who was not of her own blood.

Her secret prophecy that she cannot even reveal to herself.

And somehow, at a young age, she gained the favor of three of the twelve gods of Olympus, and as an extraordinary minor hero who was in conflict with them, she must have decided that it would be good to place her under the glory of Olympus.

"Knowing this now..."

"So far, it's just me, Dionysus, and Prometheus. "Now there are four, including you."

"What about Apollo?"

"Dionysus left Delphi immediately after informing only me of the prophecy.

"It seems like the prophecy was made while drunk, so the person concerned doesn't remember it."

"Did you send Ares?"

"Well... In addition to your faithfulness, the boy's personality seems like he would get along well with Ares.

Aside from that, Ares also seems very interested in that child. "After you, he sent me to make friends with the crush gods."

"Hmm..."

There were still a few, no, very, very many things that were unclear.

One thing is certain: Zeus is the god-king of Greece, and his devotion to this land is also true.

Even though she was so angry, the fact that she kept her mouth shut was because she really couldn't let it out.

I don't know about anything else, but it wasn't acting that my face turned red at the threat of emptying the throne and going all the way to the end, not just in each room.

"Besides that, there is a reason why I want to train you."

"Ugh...Keuhmm, that's right too."

Certainly the child's culture, wisdom, and strength. No matter what aspect you looked at, the child was already complete.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that there is probably nothing for that child to learn in the Forest of Heroes.

So, in response to Hera's plan to seek Chiron's understanding and lay the foundation for Nemesis and Eris as gods while staying in the Forest of Heroes, Zeus went one step further and had Ares face the child.

"In other words, you also agree with the child getting a new job... Is it okay to look at it that way?"

"...Yes."

Once there, Hera was able to vaguely understand Zeus' true intentions.

Zeus was preparing something of his own.

For the unknown prophecy that even Dionysus blurted out due to his drunkenness, and even Prometheus was told to keep quiet about.

"Hmm... Okay. Let's move on. I also liked that kid.

"I'm looking forward to seeing how much more of that child's true value will be revealed when he leaves the forest."

"Uh... Hera?"

"Yes?"

Hera smiled softly and turned to see Zeus, whose eyes were fluttering for some reason.

"Well, do you like that kid that much...?"

Oh?

Hera, who caught Zeus' reaction like a ghost, hid her beautiful eyes under a smile.

"Well... If it's not someone else, but Nyx's son, and Nemesis and Eris's younger brother.

"You're not even a stranger, are you?"

Why is this happening?

Hera slowly turns around and tries to leave.

Zeus was flustered, not knowing what to say.

If Hermes had seen it, he would have sat down and watched with excitement, wondering what the hell was going on.

"No, it's not that I have any other feelings. It's just that you rarely show interest in demigods..."

"Aha...? Well, it's not the seed of any supreme god in a long time. He never forgets his respect for the goddess and his desire for wisdom, and yet he is a young hero with a promising future and destined to become the next god...

"I couldn't help but be concerned."

"Ugh?"

Pajik! And with the sound of lightning behind her, the Queen of the Gods descended her peak with her graceful steps.

'Oh my. 'Suffering is essential for those who seek ancient secrets.'

I was born with an extraordinary vessel, and the soul contained in that vessel also had endless possibilities.

I hope you can overcome this small ordeal from the queen.

* * *

"Ugh!?"

"Hey! What are you doing!?"

"Yes?"

-Too boom!

The fighting god's fist, blazing crimson, swung unknowingly, and the boy flew through the air, his black hair fluttering.

While fighting fiercely, the balance is suddenly broken.

The boy was struck by a reflexive blow aimed at an opening.

The boy, who was thrown off and broke the rock cliff on the other side, had to worry about his life.

Nevertheless, he just calmly cleared away the debris and stood up, looking up at the sky in confusion.

"Hmm? "What is it?"

No.

Why on earth are you doing this so that something more unbearable will happen again?
