Chapter 267: Stroll On A Neutron Star

IC1101 is a lens-shaped galaxy located at the center of the Abell 2029 galaxy cluster, in the constellation of Serpens, 1.07 billion light-years away from Earth. The galaxy has a diameter of 2.1 million light-years, making it incredibly massive, capable of accommodating thousands of Milky Way galaxies.

At the edge of the IC1101 galaxy lies a neutron star, half the size of Earth, with a surface temperature of 1.1 million degrees Celsius. Its gravity is 180,000 times that of Earth, with a minimum mass of 100 million tons per cubic centimeter, and a density over a million times that of water. Its energy radiation is a million times that of the Sun.

H'el and Athena arrived at this neutron star, about to meet with Darkseid under Hades' supervision.

Even before the appointed time, the two of them had already arrived here, walking together, chatting casually, and deepening their bond.

The surface of this neutron star is smooth, like stepping on a mirror, so hard that it's difficult to shake.

To walk on this neutron star, one needs certain strength and technology; otherwise, they would be crushed into pulp.

Athena's platinum-colored robe clung to her body, emitting a soft white light resistant to the neutron star. Her graceful figure exuded the flexible beauty of a goddess, her dignified face tinged with a faint smile as she opened up to H'el from time to time, relaxed and at ease.

This was rare, a moment belonging to her and H'el.

Most importantly, H'el was willing to accept her, even taking the time to walk on the surface of the neutron star with her, despite the important moment of meeting Darkseid. This made Athena feel valued.

H'el's acceptance of her as family, in particular, made Athena feel reassured and trusted.

As the two walked on the mirror-like surface of the neutron star, they eventually started talking about Cery.

Athena had already met Cery and had begun the divine blessing ceremony for Cery's 320 children, which would take some time.

Athena needed to exchange some blessings with other gods, which required some negotiations.

With her radiant and fair face glowing, Athena casually mentioned Ceri to H'el, her eyes shining with curiosity.

When Athena informed Ceri that they were now family, Ciri was overjoyed.

In order to make H'el feel comfortable, Ceri spared no effort to impart all her research on H'el to her, teaching everything to Athena.

Athena was completely dumbfounded on the spot.

She has lived for a long time, but she has always been alone. Regarding the matters of intimacy between the sexes, she only had a basic understanding of procreation, and nothing more.

Athena's encounter with Ceri opened a door that truly shocked her.

But she couldn't help but explore and imagine about Ceri and H'el.

H'el looked at her speechlessly, knowing exactly what she was thinking, and could only explain slightly, saying, "Everyone has their own personality... and preferences. You don't have to worry about it. Ceri... is a bit unconventional."

H'el concluded, unable to explain further.

Ceri indeed had too many quirks.

Even with tentacles carrying 320 children on her back, intending to give birth to 320 at once, no one would consider her normal. H'el was also very surprised.

Now Athena was going to bless the children as well, which would take several years. It was estimated that Ceri had taught Athena all sorts of messy things.

Previously, Ceri wanted to involve Kara, despite Kara being too shy and hesitant. But now, Athena was willingly offering herself.

After a brief contemplation, a determined look flickered in Athena's dignified face as she nodded firmly. "I can do it too."

She couldn't engage in extensive physical contact with H'el for now, but once H'el resolved his own issues, Athena felt that she could do it too.

The future looked promising.

H'el glanced at her disdainfully. It seemed that the women around him were all influenced by Ciri to behave strangely. But such matters didn't require any deliberation; they could be handled casually. Kara had often been taught by Ciri, and now Athena was another one influenced.

Not wanting to dwell on these absurd matters with Athena, H'el changed the subject. "Athena, I intend to utilize all the divine avatars under my control."

Upon hearing H'el's question, Athena set aside her thoughts of intimacy and pondered for a moment before asking, "Are you planning to bring all the Olympus gods, New Genesis, and Apokolips under your control in this universe?"

Athena gently shook her head. "I do not recommend such actions. Each of them has their own purposes ordained by their respective origins. While they may temporarily submit to New Krypton's rule, once one of the divine avatars dies and alerts the main body to your abilities, it could lead to unimaginable dangers."

Athena's words plunged H'el into contemplation.

Indeed, the reactions of the divine avatars' main bodies that could create avatars to enter the multiverse had to be considered.

Once too many divine main bodies focused their attention on him, there would inevitably be some unpredictable troubles.

"Perhaps we could create a small universe, making all the divine main bodies believe it's a newly born universe, then have the divine avatars enter this small universe. After that, we could close off this small universe, severing the connection between the main body and the avatars, and then... study them."

Wisdom sparkled in Athena's bright eyes as she coldly suggested, "The various divine positions within Olympus, the divine powers of Zeus, the divine powers of the Highfather, the Omega Rays of Darkseid, and so on—all the knowledge and power carried by the divine avatars, though incomplete, can be obtained by us, consolidated, and researched to develop our own power. This would greatly benefit you in becoming as powerful as a divine main body."

H'el's eyes lit up slightly.

Previously, H'el had been considering recruiting a batch of divine avatars and pondering how to tame them to work for him.

Now, upon hearing Athena's proposal, tame them? Tame what! To treat all the divine avatars as if they were pigs, extracting knowledge and researching power from them, severing their connection with the main body, even if they die, they won't be able to return to the main body.

In the end, strengthening himself and New Krypton, wasn't it better than finding a group of diverse, obviously rebellious divine avatars?

Obtaining the knowledge and power of these divine avatars could be used in his New Krypton faction. Ensuring loyalty while also greatly enhancing the overall strength of New Krypton.

The benefits of Athena's proposal were comprehensive and sustainable in the long run.

"I'm starting to like you more and more, Athena. You truly are my wise companion," H'el smiled, very satisfied with Athena's suggestion.

She was increasingly focusing on herself and looking out for her own interests.

Athena smiled back.

The two walked on the surface of the neutron star, chatting as if they were in sync, and arrived at the designated location.

Darkseid was already waiting.
