Chapter 678: Unintentional Hurting, Wandering in Confusion

After Perseus thought about it with the soul of Athena, he found that Blaze was right.

If Blaze said something soothing, she would probably go along with it and continue making a scene.

But now Blaze's attitude, that if you don't behave yourself, he will punch you, and that you'd better listen to his advice, forced her to calm down and negotiate with Blaze. After all, there would be no compensation if she was really beaten.

Blaze also felt that his decision was correct. Now that Perseus had stopped making noises, they could have a good talk.

All that's left is to chat about family matters, bring back Athena's slightly better memories of Zeus, and use the father-daughter relationship to dilute her obsession with the throne.

"Do you have a deep relationship with Zeus?"

"Not deeply. I often worry about my physical safety. If it weren't for Zeus's unerring accuracy and the curse that his son will far surpass his father, I would either be reunited with my mother in Zeus's belly, or my son would have killed Zeus."

Perseus brought up the explosive topic with a calm expression, and before Blaze could react, he added another sentence.

"If I hadn't had the dog-skin helmet, I would have been killed by Zeus..."

"and many more!"

Blaze stood up, walked aside, took a deep breath, and then exhaled. After several cycles, he walked back with a serious look on his face.

"Don't you think that the [King of Olympus] is a very dirty position? Or did you become the [King of Olympus] first to protect yourself?"

"Not entirely, it's mainly for strength."

"I see." Blaze squeezed Perseus' shoulder. Every family has its own problems, and Athena's family is too difficult.

"Why don't you just give up? You're a goddess, you can't do whatever you want."

"Do you think the goddess is very free?" Perseus asked, "You seem to take it for granted that the gods' lives are very happy, but as you said, the stories between gods are just a replica of human stories. We are also born, grow old, get sick, and die, and we have seven emotions and six desires. We..."

"Just a stronger and more vulnerable [person]."

"Fragile? Are you talking about..." Blaze was stunned, and Perseus overlapped the female body of Athena.

Athena now looks like an ordinary person who has simply lost hope, but the filter of God makes her feel that this is no big deal.

He might have done something very bad unintentionally.

Blaze stood up silently and turned to leave.

"where are you going?"

"Bring back the Aegis."

"Why?" Perseus reached out to stop Blaise. The contradiction in this man made him curious.

"I just realized that I did something not very good." Blaze avoided Perseus's sight uncomfortably.

He only treated Perseus, or Athena, as a hidden boss and provoked and guarded against her. But he should have treated her as someone who needed help instead of doing something irreversible.

It was satisfying to throw away the Aegis, but Perseus's collapse was also real.

"It's just a shield. Whether you can use this shield to gain the power of the [King of Olympus] is still a question. After all, Zeus is not an honest man." Perseus comforted her instead.

"Perhaps the Aegis is just another trap."

This is probably why those involved are confused, while those who are not involved can see things more clearly.

Blaze really wanted to make up for her mistake and get the shield back. But she knew clearly that this was impossible. The shield Aegis had disappeared in the mist of Heart Island and was completely lost. If it weren't for Blaze's actions, she would probably rush into the mist, searching frantically, doing useless work.

"Well, I'll give you something else as compensation." Blaze hurriedly took out a simple forging table, lit the fire and swung the hammer to forge.

"You really do what you want!" Perseus wanted to stop him, but the flying sparks scared him.

Perseus shook his head helplessly and sat on the ground bored amid the clanging sound of Blaze.

"What is he doing?" Perseus, or Athena, asked as he looked at Blaze who seemed to be glowing.

"I'm expressing my apologies and want to make up for my mistakes as much as possible." The snake said softly.

"Really?" Athena rested her face on her knees, saying no more, and watched Blaze hammering the red-hot metal quietly.

The knocking sound gradually turned into a wet and dull heartbeat. That was the place where she was born, and she was wrapped not in amniotic fluid but in corrosive stomach acid.

She didn't have time to become him, and had to be born as a goddess in order to survive.

[Have to] seemed to have become some kind of curse, making her feel that no matter how well her life was, her current life was just an alternative plan, she could live a better life, and her current life was not her real life.

So she walked into Cheng Wang's trap without any hesitation, and the temptation to get back on track made her abandon her current life.

The result was that she wandered lost in this island of heart, where she and her world were completely forgotten.

"I want to...go home."

There is no night on Heart Island, which is always shrouded in fog. Time seems to have stopped flowing. It was not until Blaze nervously walked in front of her with a bright silver round shield that she felt the stiffness and numbness in her body.

"This is definitely not as good as Aegis's. See if it works."

Perseus jumped over the shield in Blaze's hand, looked straight at Blaze, and suddenly asked.

"How old are you?"

"Huh?" Blaze was stunned and said honestly, "17 years old, almost 18."

"Isn't he still a child? No wonder he still has some fantasies about God." Perseus laughed out loud and continued to ask while Blaze was making some embarrassed movements.

"Are you a descendant of some god? Or a royal noble?"

"No, do you want it or not!" Blaze thrust the shield towards Perseus forcefully, his apology much less evident.

Perseus took the shield, and as soon as he held it he knew it was a good shield.

Although it was far inferior to Aegis of the Shield, Aegis of the Shield could not make this child who beat and attacked her mercilessly show any anxiety.

How to say it, it was like an ignorant kid who suddenly realized the need to be considerate and began to reflect on what had happened before, she couldn't help but want to tease him.

"You are so considerate that I feel a little uncomfortable. Do you want to recover?"

"Let's be fair. I can't let you become the King of Olympus and disrupt this world. And you still have to give me the goat fur. If you don't, I will just take it away from you."

"Recovering well." Perseus nodded with satisfaction. Looking at the shining shield in his hand, he felt a lot lighter.

"Come with me, and I will give you the goat's fur."

The fog of Heart Island became thicker and slowly crawled towards the Heart Island.
