Chapter 233 Athena: You Play Quite Skillfully, Don't You? (4k for Votes)_2
Be practical.
One must walk step by step, eat bite by bite; achieving true fairness and justice, in the end, is not something that happens overnight.
As her gaze swept over the "Codex" cover, where the signature had been altered, what was once a good mood dissipated completely for Athena.
A few words were enough to bring Themis back, a period of interaction and exchange enough to make the original Goddess of Justice abandon her beliefs held for thousands of years, opting for compromise and intercession; that little rascal really was popular!
Amidst the grating sound of grinding teeth, Athena turned her attention to the "Sacred Words" transcribed by the Goddess Mnemosyne, along with the original piece "Song of the Titans," recently arranged by The Nine Muses and The Three Graces, her expression turned even darker.
Apollo's nine lesser deities, Aphrodite's three lesser deities, Father God Zeus' two wives...
Right, and Echidna, the companion of Demon Ancestor Typhon, my three lesser deities, and the sister of Queen of the Sea Amphitrite, Thetis...
You've been playing quite the field, haven't you?
The more Athena thought, the angrier she became; her grip unconsciously tightened, and the overwhelmed iron pen in her hands emitted a pitiful moan before snapping tragically into two pieces.
As the cool moonlight cast a shadow on the door and window, the pupils of the Goddess of Wisdom in the Great Temple narrowed and she immediately dropped the broken iron pen from her hand, her brow creasing with a cold hum.
"Who's there? Come out!"
"It's me, I'm back..."
Luo En, in the corridor, raised his hands and carefully stepped through the door, his drifting gaze sweeping over the iron pen forcefully broken in two on Athena's desk. He felt a chill and instinctively swallowed hard, squeezing out an almost sycophantic smile.
"Why are you still up so late? The construction of Athens is certainly important, but you are the core engine that drives this machine. If you were to wear out, it would be a great loss."
"It's all because someone abandoned their post, forcing me to personally take charge," Athena raised her eyes to look at the former secretary of Crete Island who had left behind a mess and had been missing for a long time, and she coldly huffed.
Seeing this, Luo En immediately put on a united front, pulling out the Holy Grail and slamming it down on the desk.
"It's all because of this little bastard!"
With the gold divine liquid inside the Holy Grail shimmering and casting ripples of light throughout the Great Temple, Athena's breath hitched and her expression shifted subtly.
"Asclepius? He's still alive?"
A moment later, the Goddess of Wisdom came to her senses, quickly using her fingers to trace Hermes Script and activating the "Labyrinth" authority to seal the entire Great Temple. She looked at Luo En seriously and asked,
"What's going on here?"
Successfully steering the conversation back on track, Luo En straightened up and began to relay his sequence of plans and experiences with ease.
"Yes!"
Luo En nodded without changing his expression.
In the whole War God Mountain and Athens, Athena was indeed the first person to know about the revival of Asclepius.
Immediately after, Luo En's gaze flickered, lowering his voice.
"Moreover, I do not plan to tell anyone else about Asclepius still being alive. It would be best if this matter remains a secret between the two of us."
Hearing Luo En's whisper, Athena's tense expression rippled, and a strange sense of movement stirred within her.
Only two people know... a secret?
Feeling that the gaze of the Goddess of Wisdom toward him had softened considerably, Luo En quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
It's well known that when both parties hold leverage over each other or keep secrets for one another, their relationship can often warm up quickly.
Although, with the relationship he had with Athena, they didn't need to use such tricks to create a sense of trust in a crisis.
But as everyone knows, girls want a show of true colors!
On the entire War God Mountain, only he and Athena knew that Asclepius was still alive.
Doesn't this mean that the Goddess of Wisdom before him was his closest ally?
However, according to someone's scheming nature, this move was obviously not just to please Athena but was the result of deep contemplation.
Because, apart from Athena, whose mind was already brimming with dissent and not easily swayed, telling any other goddesses about this would do Luo En no good.
The death of the Medicine God had become a serious stain on Zeus's reputation. According to Medusa, not only Hestia but even the Nine Muses, and the usually detached Themis and Mnemosyne, felt a chilling disgust for it.
As His Majesty the King of Gods's chief underling in Greece, Luo En would be more than happy to sling more dirt on Zeus, so how could he possibly reveal that the Medicine God was still alive and diminish the female deities' loathing for Zeus on the mountain?
While Luo En was mumbling to himself, a deep murmur came to his ear.
"Speaking of which, so many goddesses have come to War God Mountain at your invitation, what do you plan to do with them next?"
Hearing that meaningful question, Luo En couldn't help but feel a shiver.
It looked like, after explaining his long absence with Asclepius as a shield, its defensive value had hit rock bottom.
The following lethal question could only be dealt with by himself.
