Greece Brings Evildoers Chapter 247

 Chapter 247 Athena's road to defeat (3.4k)

 At the same time, Ares Mountain.

A sneaky figure appeared in front of the great temple, sticking his head out to look into the house from time to time.

Athena, who was sitting under the fluorite lamp and flipping through the files, glanced up at the familiar figure in the darkness and sighed helplessly.

“Auntie, if you have anything to say, just come in, no one will stop you.”

Hestia outside the door heard the words and slipped into the empty great temple with a smile. After a moment of hesitation, she spoke hesitantly.

 “Athena, can you make a small suggestion?”

"What?"

“Don't hit him so harshly every time, can't you be gentler to him?”

Athena closed the file in her hand and looked at the hearth goddess in front of her with a half-smile.

 “Why, are you feeling distressed?”

"He is my follower after all, and he hasn't made any heinous mistakes. A small admonishment is enough. But every time you find an opportunity, you beat him until he can't get out of bed. I wonder if you are doing it on purpose. Target him."

 “That's right, I was targeting him intentionally.”

Athena pushed the file aside and nodded without concealment.

Hestia heard a look of astonishment on her face.

"Why?"

“If he is just an ordinary demigod, and then becomes an ordinary servant god, and just wants to live peacefully under your and my wings, of course I will not do this deliberately.”

Athena spoke calmly, her deep purple eyes twinkling faintly under the light.

 “It's a pity that he's not…”

 “I don't quite understand what you mean.”

Hestia, who was in the mist, scratched her head, with a confused look on her face.

Athena rolled her eyes at her aunt and snorted angrily.

“You don't really think that he is just some collateral bloodline of Ares, do you?”

 “Isn't it?”

"Can an ordinary collateral line easily accommodate the divine incarnation of Crete? Can an ordinary collateral line single-handedly defeat two Gorgon banshees who have absorbed the divinity of the old sea **** Pontos? An ordinary collateral line can With the strength of a god, I am undefeated in a hundred attacks? This is something that even Ares himself can't do, so how can it be a talent that only an ordinary demigod can possess?"

Hearing that meaningful reminder, Hestia suddenly realized a possibility and murmured dryly.

 “You mean…the bloodline of the God King!”

"if not?"

Athena rolled her eyes at her aunt, who was belatedly aware of this, and shook her head with a sneer.

“I'm afraid that with his few tricks, he can deceive people all over the place.”

　　After being teased by her niece, Hestia couldn't help but feel angry: "Why have you never said such a thing?"

 “He didn't want to say it.”

Athena spread her hands innocently, with a calm look on her face.

"Since he has concerns about his life experience, why should I bother with it? It's better to see through some things without telling them."

Immediately, the purple eyes of the goddess of wisdom showed a hint of hidden darkness, and she smiled jokingly.

“Besides, isn't it fun to watch him rack his brains all day long and come up with all kinds of excuses to frustrate me?”

Looking at her niece's smile that revealed a hint of sinisterness and mischievousness under the fluorite lamp, Hestia suddenly felt a chill on her body and couldn't help but ask cautiously.

 “Then when did you discover this?”

 “Probably after the attack and defense of Crete.”

  Athena yawned and spoke casually.

“His performance and talents are so outstanding, far superior to ordinary demigods. He is sharp and has no clue about how to hide his clumsiness. Moreover, he always gives me a feeling of déjà vu…”

Hestia was slightly startled when she heard this.

 “Sense of déjà vu?”

“Ahem, that's pretty much it. It may be the resonance between the bloodline of the God King.”

Athena responded vaguely, her purple eyes twinkling slightly.

If before the Battle of Crete, she only had doubts and feelings, then after the Battle of Crete, there was the great sacrifice of the [Bull], the visit of Circe, the great witch of Ayo, and the underworld. The ambiguous relationship between the moon goddess Hecate and that boy has made me basically sure of the true identity of that little bastard.

 It's just that these matters involve too many things and it's not convenient to explain them clearly to Aunt Hestia.

Hestia was not satisfied with Athena's ambiguous answer.

“Even if he has the blood of the God King, and Zeus has left many heirs, you don't need to target him specifically, right?”

“I have many brothers and sisters, but there are not many who plot against the God King and the Olympus Gods like him!”

Hestia looked shocked when she heard this.

Athena rolled her eyes at her aunt who had not yet turned around, and snorted meaningfully.

“Just because I don't talk about some things doesn't mean he hasn't done it, and it doesn't mean I don't know the tricks behind his back:

In the last battle, I lost Crete and Poseidon lost Atlantis. Not only did he establish his own sect on my territory and successfully become a god, he also condensed the divinity of the ocean into his body. and the two incarnations of the earthly divinity;

 A safari in Arcadia, Hermes lost his son;

Helped Apollo take care of the nine muses, and ended up taking care of them on the bed of Ares Mountain;

Going for Asclepius, the three graceful goddesses under Aphrodite changed hands;

Even the goddess of memory and the goddess of justice who stayed behind closed doors came to Athens because of him and stood up for him;

In all these things, as long as he is involved, others will suffer heavy losses, but he will make a lot of money. It may be a coincidence once, but is it the same every time? "

　　Listening to Athena's faint rhetorical question, Hestia thought about it carefully, sweating slightly on her forehead.

But the long-term trust made her unable to help but defend herself.

 “Isn't he thinking about you and Athens?”

"Did you ask the three goddesses of Grace to be your slave gods? Did I ask him to carry the two Titan goddesses and a lot of other slave gods up the mountain?"

Athena glanced at her aunt, who was still protecting her family god, and spoke softly.

"Don't treat him like a harmless little white rabbit. He didn't do this just for me."

 “Where's the evidence?”

"No."

Hestia immediately became energetic when she heard this.

“After working on it for a long time, it turns out that these are just your guesses and suspicions.”

"This is enough!"

Athena interrupted Hestia's defense with a cold snort, her purple eyes as deep as the abyss flickering faintly.

“Although he hid it well and didn't allow me to catch the real clue. But in the world of the gods, this little cleverness can't protect him forever!

Many things do not require evidence. The key is not whether he did it or whether he left any evidence, but what the powerful party thinks!

These are the principles he taught King Minos, but he himself forgot!

 Just a little fear can make King Minos die, and the Minoans are almost exterminated.

If His Majesty the God-King was suspicious of him and paid attention to such a restless son, do you think he can live peacefully until now?

 Do you know how much trouble his little actions and so many gods gathered on the Ares Mountain caused me?

Had he not still carried your banner, and I had attracted most of the attention for him in Olympus, his fate might not have been much better than Asclepius! "

Hestia was initially a little scared after listening to Athena's merciless scolding, but as the end of that touching sentence came to an end, the Hearth Goddess immediately felt relieved. She hugged her niece's arm and swayed with a smile.

“So, after saying so much, you are obviously caring about him!”

The goddess of wisdom, who had a straight face, was slightly startled, and suddenly realized that she had accidentally exposed her true thoughts.

But being arrogant like her, she didn't want to lower her face and admit it. She just held her head high and hummed softly.

“I just don't want his self-righteous cleverness to be noticed by my Father God in advance, thus spoiling my big event!”

“Then didn't you just say that he had ulterior motives?” Hestia retorted with a smile.

"It doesn't matter. Since I choose to trust him, I'm not afraid of the little thoughts he hides." Athena said calmly, "You can try whatever he wants to do, even if he is so bold that he wants to compete for the kingship of Olympus, I This sister also gives him this opportunity."

But then, the wise woman changed her mind, cracked her finger bones, and sneered.

“But if his usual little moves can't even be hidden from my eyes, and his own strength can't defeat me, what qualifications does he have to fool the gods and challenge the supreme heavenly father in Olympus?

Without the support of strength, no matter how many conspiracies and calculations are made, they will not come to the fore. If you rely on your own cleverness, you will have no choice but to be slaughtered by others when the real crisis comes. "

After hearing this, Hestia nodded thoughtfully.

“So, you beat him for his own good?”

"It's better to suffer more losses in my hands and restrain your self-righteous cleverness than to be caught in the act and die without a burial place!"

Athena spoke confidently, but she couldn't help but touch the raised phalanges on her hand.

Of course, it's also because of itchy hands…

At this time, Hestia could not help but wave her pink fists in anger, pretending to be the same enemy as Athena.

"You're right! Beat him! You should beat him! Remember to call me next time!"

However, when Athena heard this, she looked at her aunt meaningfully.

 “That's all? He has hidden a lot of things from you.”

"You don't care about it, so why should I care about it? What he wants to say will be said by himself in the future."

Hestia smiled coquettishly, then raised her head to look at the Holy Mountain of Olympus among the stars, her eyes filled with clarity and determination.

“And no matter what he is thinking or doing, I believe he will make the world a better place!”

Athena took a deep look at Hestia beside her. After a long time, she sighed dejectedly, her lips and teeth moving silently.

 It turns out that I lost here before...

Hestia, who was looking up at the stars, seemed to hear some kind of sound, and turned around to look at her eldest niece beside her in surprise.

"what are you saying?"

"nothing."

Athena straightened her face and waved her hand gently.

"Auntie, we have talked enough today. If you have nothing else to do, go back and rest first."

Hestia did not leave in a hurry, but carefully raised her hand.

“There is another question. If he is never your opponent, won't he always be suppressed and bullied by you?”

"If you don't want to be punished, then don't leave any clues in your future actions, or beat me openly on the battlefield!"

 “What happens after he wins?”

"After I win...I...ahem, let's talk about the rest later!"

Athena who was talking didn't know what she thought of, her cheeks tensed up and a blush appeared inexplicably, and she pushed Hestia, who wanted to get to the bottom of it, out of the great temple.

"Okay, okay, you can go back first. I will be busy implementing the ideas he mentioned tonight. Really, I only mentioned a general outline of everything, and left the rest to me. I don't know what it is." Who is working for whom?”

Hestia, who was driven into the square as her niece's complaints disappeared into the closed palace gate, couldn't help but frown.

 Being bullied all the time is not the solution, otherwise...

The stove goddess thought for a long time, and finally looked at the bright light with flame patterns that appeared in her palm under the moonlight.
