Greece: Zeus made me the queen of heaven?

Chapter 557: Don’t dare to discuss the important matters of Olympus

What a traditional way of speaking, just like a heartless NPC issuing quests.

However, these lines that seemed full of déjà vu and cliché to Eros were quite normal to them.

Perseus naturally agreed without hesitation, not noticing that everything was leading him to defeat Keto.

But even if he noticed, he probably wouldn't care. After all, getting rid of Keto would be a good thing for people, and it was what Perseus wanted to do.

"The day for the sacrifice has been set for three days from now."

"By then, it will be up to you whether you can save Andromeda."

After saying this, Cuphius waved his hand and signaled to see the guest off.

There was no mention of any plans or ideas, what to do, or what assistance or support would be provided. It was just arranged in such a hasty manner.

Andromeda was quite confused, but she didn't ask directly. She just asked Perseus to go back first.

Perseus held her hand somewhat reluctantly. He had spent so much time, but in the end he had only spent less than half a day with Andromeda.

But he was still aware of the importance of this matter, so he promised Andromeda that he would keep her safe and sound, and left first.

After Perseus left, Andromeda stared at Phineus and asked him to leave on his own accord before she spoke to her parents.

"Father, mother, what are you going to do?"

"Are you really going to let me die in the belly of a sea monster?"

Obviously, the whole family are Saints, but they pretend to be weak mortals and ask Perseus for help as an apprentice.

This made Andromeda feel as if her parents were teaming up to trick Perseus, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

"This is all arranged by the goddess, Andromeda, you don't have to be so excited."

Her mother, Cassiopeia, explained softly.

"We have no intention of deceiving or exploiting your lover. This is just the goddess's special instruction, and we are following her arrangement."

"what?"

Andromeda was stunned for a moment, thought about it for a while, and roughly understood some of the inside story.

But there are some blind spots that she still hasn't figured out.

"If the goddess wanted to get rid of Keto, why not just let us do it together? Why go through so much trouble?"

"We don't know about this either, but the goddess naturally has her considerations, so we don't need to think too much."

It was normal for Andromeda to feel strange and unable to understand the problem.

In people's eyes, Keto is a sea monster, a demon, an existence that stands on the opposite side of God and is to be conquered.

They did not take into account the intricate ties between the gods and the monsters. These gods and monsters were essentially of the same origin and could even be considered relatives.

Many monsters have some characteristics of gods and are all our own family members, so it is impossible to expect our own family members to eliminate our own family members.

For example, Zeus, the new leader and CEO of Greece, is very capable. He monopolizes power and even sidelines Gaia, the company's original founding shareholder.

But Gaia still has his confidants and people working in various parts of the company, such as Keto, who works under Poseidon, the new director of the Ocean Department appointed by Zeus.

So Keto would obey Poseidon's arrangements and orders on the surface, but in essence he was Gaia's man.

It's fine for Zeus to take action against those who are not his direct descendants, but the company is now in a period of stable development and the influence of the original shareholders must also be considered.

Internal changes must not be allowed to affect overall development.

That's why Perseus was needed to do this. Whether Athena, Eros, or other gods took action, it would cause a huge reaction.

Many people who were not Zeus's direct descendants would worry whether this was a comprehensive reckoning. So they went through such a big circle to minimize the impact of the matter and not to hinder the stability of the entire world.

However, these are not things that the low-level employees consider.

After thinking about it, Andromeda couldn't figure out the specific reason and motivation for the goddess to do this.

Let’s just assume that the goddess might want to cultivate Perseus, so she specially arranged such an opportunity for Perseus.

Although her guess was infinitely close to the truth.

I just don’t know if Perseus can live up to the goddess’ expectations and training. If his opponent is Keto, can the current Perseus really do it?

With some worry in her heart, Andromeda took her leave and prepared to leave.

"Andromeda, don't think about looking for that child these days."

Cassiopeia said warningly.

"Your father hasn't completely accepted your little lover yet, so you are not allowed to meet him secretly."

"Tsk, what are you talking about, mother?"

Andromeda's face flushed slightly, perhaps because her inner thoughts were exposed or she was simply shy.

After making a few shy and angry retorts, she slipped away.

She wanted to catch up with Perseus, who had just left, and ask him if he had any preparations or methods to deal with Keto.

But she didn't expect Perseus to leave so quickly. When she went out, Perseus was no longer in the palace.

"First mate! First mate!"

Perseus left the palace and shouted loudly in the streets.

He was now extremely anxious to find Eros because the three days were quite tight.

He wasn't even sure if these three days were enough for him to reach the residence of the Gorgon Medusa and then rush back to Ethiopia.

So he had to hurry and ask the first mate to take him away as soon as possible.

His loud voice quickly led him to Eros, who was in front of a street stall and seemed to be chatting up the charming stall owner.

"First mate! I finally found you! No time to explain, just take me with you!"

Ignoring the stall owner nearby, Perseus quickly pulled Eros and ran towards the pier.

"The sea chart the goddess gave you should have marked the location. If we have three days, will it be enough for us to get there and come back?"

"Hmm? What nonsense are you talking about? How can we sail to the other side of the ocean river in three days?"

Eros showed a very disdainful attitude towards his words. How could it be possible to go so fast relying only on a boat?
"What should I do?"

Perseus seemed a little anxious and told Eros what had just happened.

"Andromeda will be sacrificed in three days. If I can't get the head of Medusa before then, how can I defeat Keto?"

three days?

Eros subconsciously turned his head to look at Athena, and Athena gave him a helpless look in return.

In order to avoid arousing suspicion in other people, Athena had arranged this matter early on, and the timing should have been just right.

But Eros and Perseus wasted too much time on the island of Crete.
