Chapter 15 Help From the Sea Goddess Thetis

In the worldview of Greek mythology, there are four systems: sky gods, earth gods, ocean gods, and underworld gods.

The goddess of the sea is at the bottom of the four god systems, and her status is only higher than the forest goddess and water goddess, which are naturally derived from the earth. These lower gods serve powerful gods as maids.

Although the goddess of the sea is weak and low in status, Thetis is the leader of the alliance of fifty ocean goddesses and has a special and lofty status among the ocean gods in the Mediterranean world.

Thetis is not only powerful in herself, but also the adoptive mother of the god of fire Hephaestus, and has the privilege of summoning a hundred-armed giant.

When Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades fought the first generation of Titans in the first Titan War, it was Thetis who summoned three hundred-armed giants to help Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades, which brought the ten-year war to an end.

Luo Yin was originally worried that Thetis's help to herself might cause her to be retaliated by Athena.

But thinking of Thetis's special status among the gods, he smiled with relief and said.

"Goddess Thetis, I am very grateful for your help. If I return to the Asia Minor Peninsula alive, I will definitely help you become the patron saint of the human city-state, just like your sister Cassandra in her previous life. Now I have to complete my mission. Can you send me back to the sea?"

"If you return to the sea, you may be attacked by Athena again."

Thetis looked at Luo Yin with a worried expression.

"You stay in my underwater palace and wait for the end of the last heroic age! After the heroic age of Odysseus, Athena's favorite, ends, Athena's power and prestige will also decline, and then you can safely return to the sea and land. Odysseus's heroic age is only ten years. You live with me in the underwater palace. I will serve you like a wife, and I can also give birth to children for you to help you."

"Are you going to prevent me from completing the system task?"

Looking at Thetis who bewitched herself to stay in the underwater palace, Luo Yin frowned and said.

"Ten years later, Odysseus will return to Intarch Island to retake the throne, and Agamemnon's son Orestes will become the king of Mycenae and seize Hermione, the fiancee promised to me by Menelaos. Although I have no interest in Helen's daughter, I don't want to be cuckolded. And before Odysseus and Orestes take back the throne, I can easily kill them without destroying the city and killing many innocent people."

"System task? What system are you talking about? According to your personality, you can't accept the tasks assigned to you by others!"

Thetis touched Luo Yin's forehead with her right hand and said worriedly.

"Did the battle of gods in the past hurt your head and made your memory confused?"

"Don't touch me--"

Luo Yin stepped back to avoid Thetis's right hand and said with some dissatisfaction.

"What's wrong with you? You don't have the reserve of a goddess at all. Not only did you use the goddess' kiss to help me remove the salt, but you also touched my body casually. Do you want to trap me in your underwater palace like Calypso trapped Odysseus?"

"You misunderstood. I just want to help you."

Thetis said with a helpless smile.

"You said that there is a guy called the system who arranges tasks for you. Does that system really exist? Can you call it out and let me see it?"

Hearing Thetis' words, Luo Yin was stunned.

Because Luo Yin's mind actually had no memory of contact with the system.

"What's going on? If the system doesn't exist, then what's going on with this mission world? If this world is not a fake mission world, but a real world, then the gods of this world-"

Thinking of his heroic record of humiliating the god of war Ares and the god of fire Hephaestus, and fighting against the silver bow god Apollo and the goddess of wisdom Athena, Luo Yin immediately shook his head and said.

"The system definitely exists, and this world is also a fake mission world."

If this world is real, Luo Yin will definitely not be able to survive in this world after offending four of the twelve main gods of Olympus.

Seeing his divine spear leaning against the stone pillar next to the coral bed, Luo Yin immediately rolled off the coral bed, picked up the divine spear and ran out of the huge underwater palace.

After Luo Yin left as if running away, Thetis looked at Luo Yin's back in surprise and murmured.

"You just don't trust me?"

Thetis's underwater palace is like a temple ten times larger.

Luo Yin ran outside the underwater palace, and before he could appreciate the magnificent scenery of the seabed, a giant shark ten meters long opened its bloody mouth and rushed towards Luo Yin.

Luo Yin hurriedly stabbed the divine spear into the giant shark's head.

Puff!

After the divine spear pierced the giant shark's head, Thetis' voice sounded behind Luo Yin and said.

"Without me by your side, you will always be attacked by sea monsters. And you can't swim, so you can't swim from a thousand meters deep to the surface of the sea."

"Why do you know I can't swim?"

Luo Yin turned around and looked at Thetis in surprise.

Thetis didn't answer, but walked up to Luo Yin and said.

"I should have known long ago that I can't change your decision. Since you must return to the surface of the sea, I will meet your request and send you to someone who can help you."

After saying that, Thetis stretched out her right hand and pointed it at Luo Yin.

The sea-blue divine power was released from her right palm, wrapping Luo Yin's body.

The next moment——

Luo Yin's body began to rise as if flying.

Thetis was willing to help him return to the ground and had no intention of trapping him in the underwater palace.

Luo Yin lowered his head with some shame and looked into Thetis's eyes. Thetis immediately showed a bright and sweet smile and waved goodbye to Luo Yin.

Although Thetis concealed it well, Luo Yin could still see the deep reluctance in her eyes.

"Thetis didn't think of me as Neoptolemus! Thetis and I are strangers who met for the first time. She had such a strange behavior. She must have thought of me as someone else!"

If Thetis didn't think of herself as someone else, she would definitely not use the goddess' kiss to help her remove the salt.

It was not a long process to rise from the seabed of a thousand meters deep to the sea surface.

Because of the protection of Thetis's power as the goddess of the sea, Luo Yin was not attacked by the sea beasts during the ascent.

Not long after, Luo Yin came to the sea surface and stepped on the beach of an island with his feet.

Luo Yin turned his head to observe the island where he was, and found that the island was across the sea from the huge land.

"The east and north are connected to the land, and the south and west are two huge islands - is this a small island across the sea from the Apennine Peninsula?"

Guessing the area where he was at the moment, Luo Yin walked towards the depths of the island, ready to ask the residents of the island for a boat.

There is a small river connecting the bay port of the island to the depths of the island. Luo Yin walked along the river bank to the depths of the island and soon came to the outside of a beautiful palace.

In this city-state era, a family occupied an island and could call themselves king and become a royal family.

For example, the wind god Aeolus ruled Gramvosa Island as a king, and the residents on the island were only Aeolus and his wife and their six sons and six daughters.

Seeing that there was a palace on this small island, Luo Yin smiled and said.

"Even this sparsely populated island has a king."

Just as Luo Yin was about to walk towards the palace in front, a dazzling light shone on Luo Yin's face.

Luo Yin looked towards the source of the dazzling light, and saw a girl in a white robe standing in the river next to the palace, washing her body.
