Chapter 198 The Inevitable Ending with a Hatchet (3k, Total 7k Completed)

"Stop, I have something to say!"

"Want me to help you remember your last words?"

Athena wiped the shiny tip of her gun, asked with a smile, and slowly approached the target.

Seeing the increasingly brilliant smile on that face, Lorne shuddered.

According to his understanding of this goddess of wisdom, the happier she smiles, the darker her actions will be.

Seeing that Athena was about to walk in front of him, Lorne made up his mind and spoke hurriedly.

"Themis! I just saw the first generation goddess of justice!"

"Oh? Tell me about it."

As soon as these words came out, Athena's eyes flashed, and she became very interested. She put down the gun of victory in her hand and waved to Lorne at the door.

Feeling that the pressure on him had dissipated a little, Lorne looked at the large area of ​​divine light patterns on the periphery of the courtyard that were like an iron barrel, and could only bite the bullet and walk into the courtyard.

There was no way. In order to ensure that he would not be stabbed into a sieve by Athena who was caught cheating, he could only sell the first generation goddess of justice in advance.

Lorne made up his mind, and after considering the words several times in his mind, he told about his findings and speculations on Astraia.

Athena listened carefully to the analysis from the other side, with a thoughtful look in her bright eyes.

"You mean, Themis used some secret technique that you don't know to project her consciousness and host it in the body of her disciple Astraia. The two consciousnesses can switch actively when needed to deal with different situations."

"Yes, only in this way can we explain their extremely different behavioral logic before and after."

"Well, this makes sense. No wonder I always feel that Astraia's eyes sometimes look at me, and it seems a little wrong..."

Lorne asked subconsciously: "What do you mean by wrong?"

"Well, there is pity, helplessness, and a little guilt..." Athena gave a general description through her memories, and then concluded, "Probably, it's like the emotion of elders caring for the younger generation."

After a little thought, Loen figured out where Themis's complicated feelings came from.

After the first goddess of wisdom, Metis, was swallowed by Zeus, the original goddess of justice was disgusted with this, so she established the law of marriage, restricted Zeus's authority, and left Olympus angrily.

Combined with the background of the two jointly building the new order of Olympus in the Titan War, Metis and Themis are likely to be old acquaintances with a deep relationship.

Maybe even close friends.

And Athena, as the daughter of Metis, appeared in front of Themis, which inevitably reminded the goddess of justice of some sad old things and exposed her true emotions.

Looking at Athena, who was sitting at the table and drinking honey water leisurely with a big melon on her face, Loen suddenly woke up.

"So, you asked me to come this time?"

"Just chat..." Athena replied with a smile.

"Then you squatted in my house with a gun?!" Loen couldn't help but raise his voice, with a black line on his face.

"I'm a goddess of battle, isn't it reasonable to carry a gun with me?" Athena blinked, then threw the Spear of Victory away, pointed at a little blond figure that emerged from it, and said innocently, "And look, Nikki, you know her too, what's the big deal?"

The evidence is sufficient and the argument is detailed.

For a moment, Loen was speechless.

But seeing the almost unconcealable ridicule in Athena's bright eyes, Loen knew that he was being fooled by the black-bellied goddess in front of him again.

It's not that he used a hatchet, but he really wanted to vent his anger.

After figuring out the trick, Loen couldn't help but reveal a resentful look and complained with a dark face.

"My Lady Goddess, I worked hard to find helpers for you to strengthen the Academy of Athens and compile a code of law to educate the Athenians. It would be fine if you were not grateful, but you actually waited in the yard with a gun in your hand. This is too much!"

"How could it be? I came here specially to give you a gift."

Athena smiled slightly, raised her hand and made a fist. A golden cup with a gorgeous shape and inscribed with intricate spells fell into the hands of the goddess of wisdom.

Seeing the brilliant light and the obscure meaning in it, Loen couldn't help but feel excited.

"The Holy Grail is completed?!"

"Although I know you have your own plans, you spent so much time and effort just to cast a wine vessel..."

Athena shook her head and threw the golden cup over, with a little helplessness in her words.

In an era of struggle and turmoil, using rare materials and a lot of time to cast a wine vessel as one's own holy object obviously violates the traditional concept of the Age of Gods to do everything possible to enhance strength.

Even the goddess of wisdom, who is known for her wisdom, cannot fully understand Loen's choice.

For this question, Loen smiled and said nothing, but patiently integrated his divinity into the Holy Grail in his hand.

Seeing that she couldn't get any results from asking, Athena rolled her eyes at Loen, casually reached into the running magic array, and threw a square silver metal box to the opposite side with a hum.

"Fortunately, I have prepared something else for you."

Hearing the crisp collision sound, Loen immediately put away the Holy Grail and curiously poked the silver metal box on the ground with a star pattern and a flame pattern.

"Sacred Cloth? Silver? You didn't throw me a set that no one uses, did you?"

As soon as the fingertips touched the surface of the silver metal box, the entire module instantly split into hundreds of delicate parts, automatically flew to Loen's body and merged with it.

As the silver-white holy clothes were completely cast on his body, Loen felt a majestic and ancient divinity pouring into his body, pouring into the sixth space of the golden wheel, vaguely outlining a phantom of a flame, and his face suddenly changed slightly.

"This is..."

"Altar seat, Aunt Hestia and I prepared it for you."

Athena gave someone a blank look and answered proudly.

Hearing the real name of the holy clothes on his body, Loen suddenly realized.

In ancient Greek mythology, the Temple of Heaven is an altar in heaven where the holy fire is always lit.

Legend has it that after the Titan War, the Olympians set up an altar in the sky to commemorate the hard-won victory and to show the eternal glory of Olympus, which is like a flame.

The person who first lit and guarded this flame was Hestia, the goddess of the hearth.

Therefore, it is of extraordinary significance. It is the beginning of the glory of Olympus and has the hidden meaning of commanding the stars.

Similarly, among the 88 sets of holy clothes designed by him and Athena, the altar is also one of the few functional holy clothes.

Not only does the mirror on the chest, which is like a heart-guard, store the holy fire that has been burning since the mythological era, but this holy cloth is also granted special power by Athena, which can deprive any Saint of the right to use the holy cloth.

In other words, the altar is actually the head and commander of the entire future Saint Seiya Corps, and in a sense, the goddess' agent, who will swear to guard this holy fire brought down from the Great Altar of Olympus to make it last forever.

"You are asking for your life, you dare to touch that thing!"

Lorne looked at Athena in front of him in astonishment, raised his hand and pressed the mirror on his chest, feeling the flame that beat and burned in the same frequency as his heart, and suddenly felt a little hot.

The original sacred fire, the eternal glory of Olympus.

Give civilization to barbarism, give light to darkness, and give nobility to mortals.

The reason why the golden humans were able to get out of ignorance at an astonishing speed and establish prosperity second only to the gods was not only due to the guidance of the prophet Prometheus, but also related to the sacred fire that Prometheus stole from heaven.

However, the ending was also tragic.

The golden humans and their civilization were annihilated under the wrath of God, and even Prometheus was still hanging on the Caucasus Mountains, waiting to be dried.

With such a tragic precedent, how could Lorne not be afraid in his heart.

However, Athena spoke to comfort him calmly, as if everything was under control.

"Don't worry, Auntie has decided to transfer the responsibility of guarding the holy fire and the altar to you, so from now on, this is your normal job. As the dignified guardian of the altar, it is normal to have some breath of holy fire. No one will suspect you."

"What if?"

Lorne looked at Athena suspiciously, feeling that there seemed to be something else hidden under those bright eyes.

"Nothing will happen."

Athena made a solemn promise again, with a firm and bright smile on her face.

"Because, I will teach you how to control and hide this power."

"Teach?"

Lorne murmured subconsciously, and then he saw Athena waved her hand, holding the Spear of Victory transformed by Nikki, and slowly polishing the tip of the spear.

Fuck!

In an instant, as if an electric current ran through his brain, Lorne suddenly woke up, shuddered, and then turned around without hesitation and ran away.

He knew that this petty woman had no intention of letting him go tonight!

"Buzz~~"

As the tail of the Spear of Victory hit the ground, the surrounding space spun around, turning into a huge maze that seemed to be sealed and closed, pulling the Goat, who showed great speed, back into the base.

"The class hasn't started yet, why are you running?"

The gentle voice behind him didn't have any fireworks. Athena held a shield in her left hand and a gun in her right hand, and approached with a smile.

Trapped in the corner, Luo En looked at the extremely bright smile on that face and wanted to cry but had no tears.

He knew that he would definitely not be able to escape from the beating tonight.

In that case, there was nothing to say.

The Lord God is so great? I am not a vegetarian either!

Luo En roared in grief and anger, fully stimulated the power in his body, and rushed forward with gnashing teeth.
