Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 703 will only be Armies

It was precisely because of the curse of Uranus that it was truly difficult for the Greek gods to accomplish anything.

If Almes hadn't hidden himself in their small world, which was almost completely cut off from the multiverse, he would never have been able to survive to this point.

Moreover, he was discovered by the Lady of Pain, the ruler of the City of Mark who harbors hatred for the old folks and equal loathing for all beings in the multiverse.

They are absolutely neutral beings, and although normal people cannot understand them, they never owe anything... Even if you once gave them a piece of candy, they will return the favor and kill you.

Compared to Lori, who only gleaned these superficial facts from the Memory Tree, Armies certainly understood Lady Pain much better.

Therefore, he started by bringing up the matter of the red spider lily field... otherwise, he wouldn't have come to ask Lowry for help, but rather to try and ruin him.

Even if Lady Pain is a limited edition of Great Divine Power, then Lori has no right to say that she can face it calmly.

Whether or not this guy had anticipated this or knew some inside information, Armies was always very honest with Lowry.

Therefore, Lori was quite polite to him... Armies had visited all the famous prophets in the multiverse, including not only Lady Tagore of Toril, but he had even found a way to communicate with the nine-headed dragon god Io.

People who know too many secrets are truly terrifying; they can even make an ancient god like Aio, with his extremely eccentric and reclusive personality, speak.

This was an incredible miracle for the dragon, so much so that when Lori looked up the Greek myth of Almes, a whole host of information came up.

It was all discovered by some curious magical dragons themselves, and they even held an exchange meeting that lasted for over a hundred years!
No matter how weak or vulnerable Armies might appear, Lowry, who had witnessed and heard the exchange firsthand, would never be disrespectful to him.

The weakness of the strong is never true weakness. If they didn't have a way to return to their powerful state at any time, how could you possibly see their frailty?

Lowry sighed softly: "Is Pearl alright?"

“What could possibly be wrong with her?” Armies clicked his tongue. “The problem is with me.”

My mother was full of questions, but she couldn't ask because she was having a terrible headache from the sudden influx of random memories. Her thoughts were in a mess, so she could only glance at me with her eyes.

"If my dad hadn't been away for a while, how could I have gotten away with just two days of acting grumpy?"

Lowry instantly grasped Armies's point.

He didn't care about the Painful Lady's blade, whether it was a threat or an implication, nor did he care that the gods had confirmed his abnormality. What Almes was unwilling to accept was his parents' different treatment of him.

This guy has truly become the Almighty of this world, completely abandoning the Greek version.

It is estimated that when he retraces his divine path in the future, he will also use this body as the foundation... The body of a god cannot be material. The moment he ascends to the divine throne, his original human body will completely decompose and then be reconstructed by the power of laws.

Even if you look exactly the same as you used to, it's not the same body anymore.

If someone has lived several lives, the one that remains most vivid in their memory will be their dominant appearance.

If he has any lingering resentment towards other parts of his life, he will usually create an incarnation based on that part of his life.

Lowry had initially thought that Armies would eventually become the incarnation of Hermes.

But now it seems he might choose the opposite path!
Have you made up your mind?

Lori asked a question out of the blue.

Almes immediately understood: "Although Hermes lived a long time and had friends and family he cared about, he could not remember anything."

The emotions contained within were less than half of what Almes experienced in his short few decades.

Moreover, what they acknowledge is Hermes' soul, not his appearance or bloodline.

I have a more comfortable appearance, and my friends will only be happy for me.

Furthermore, Hermes didn't completely disappear, did he?

It's not the main reason, but it's close enough.

At the very least, even gods, even those who have returned to the divine path, must confront their own hearts.

Choosing which aspect to focus on is not something he can simply decide on a whim.

If Almes could so confidently say that he must look like this, then Hermes… hiss… Hermes’ most vivid and profound memory was never of his family and friends, but of his loyalty to Zeus.

Does he dare to say and do this because he's certain that Zeus will die before he returns to the stars?
Who's got the guts?
That's Paradise Mountain!

A thousand thoughts raced through her mind, but on the surface, Lowry simply turned to look in Hamilton's direction: "And what about Pearl?"

Armies stopped smiling and shook his head slightly: "Pearl is only a part of Persephone, and cannot occupy the main role in her divine life."

Persephone is different from me; she has too many things she cannot give up.

So, Pearl will only stay with our parents for the rest of their lives, and then she will disappear from this world.

Armies suddenly laughed again: "Actually, you knew that too, didn't you, Lori?"

You're reluctant to interact with Pearl, and you even keep your subordinate Valera away from her.

Otherwise, the girl wouldn't have accepted the life-saving grace and tried so hard to distance herself from him.

My mom actually had some feelings about it.

But she probably interpreted Valera's behavior as a way for the military officer from the neighboring noble territory to avoid suspicion. That's not entirely wrong.

Hmm~ The people under you are really very capable, in every aspect.

He is very virtuous in his dealings with people.

Lori glanced at him casually: "Pearl's performance has always seemed a bit unrealistic."

It's like a false facade, too perfect for the standards of nobility.

Logically speaking, a girl raised in your family should have a personality more like my mother's or Evelyn's.

I used to think it was the Countess of Hamilton who had higher standards for these things!

But after a brief contact, it became clear that it wasn't.

As long as she can maintain appearances, that lady won't restrict her daughter too much.

Armies nodded slightly: "You're right too."

Pearl made a great sacrifice to save her foolish, arrogant, and crazy husband.

How can a person with a weak soul have a strong will?

Being reborn as a human is an extremely difficult feat.

She is clearly the goddess of life, yet even the natural mage cannot awaken her.

He suddenly gave a bitter laugh: "After all my fuss, I've only managed to awaken myself with those rare materials, while she hasn't made a single move!"

This compromised my initial plans.

Because of Luscania's situation, the King of the North places great importance on the Natural Mage, fearing that I might be stolen by the Earth Church while I am wandering abroad.

They didn't give me a chance to leave the capital at all.

At that time, I had no other choice but to fill my mind with knowledge and schemes.

I think I only truly understood the principle of "strength overcoming skill" when I became weak and frail myself.

Lowry remained silent. It was impossible for him to empathize with Armies, after all, the other man considered his starting point to be unbelievably weak, something Lowry couldn't even reach in his two lifetimes.

While Armies was lamenting his own weakness, Loreco was taking pride in his strength!

He could lift a cow when he was only four years old!

They look down on everyone else!
Despite the fact that no one except his mother and Pat had any faith in his future at the time, Lowry knew how to find joy in his limited perspective.

He longed to be like Mrs. Yages, who could resolve conflicts through force.

So what if I don't have inheritance rights?
As long as he's strong enough, once the old man is gone, he can use Alex as a punching bag!

As for how vast the world is, what does it have to do with a mere baron like him?
Although she was very clear-headed, Lowry also managed to make herself very happy at that time.

No matter how pitiful Almes's words were, Lori would not sympathize with him, even if he could choose his own parents.

How rare is it for a family to have both parents who love each other, have good character, high moral standards, and both love and respect their children, and also be powerful and influential? Should Almes look back at Zeus before speaking?
Has Hermes forgotten that he himself searched the multiverse before finding this home for himself?

Armies' lips twitched slightly: Lowry is really hard to deal with.

Perhaps due to his extraordinary experiences and vast knowledge, this guy, despite his rich emotions, is difficult to evoke.

If you want his help, even the gods have to pay real money.

Playing the emotional card won't work.

But he... he can't possibly postpone the payment for hundreds of years from now, can he?
Almes did not intend to take the path to godhood while the world's will had not fully awakened and the world's laws were not so restrictive.

The Lord of Ice and the Lord of the Tower were able to do this because when they first took control of the laws, they received the approval of the world's will, and their marks were engraved on the complete laws.

Therefore, they can succeed easily, and there will be no problems afterwards.

But if we leave now, success is not a problem. After the world's will awakens, it won't throw out the gods who have taken the proper path to godhood. However... the result of incomplete laws is that divine power will probably never be able to increase again.

No one would willingly go through all this trouble unless absolutely necessary.

Armies felt he had a great chance of gaining the world's approval and didn't need to waste the best years of his life... He could spend his life with his beloved parents, let them witness him ascend to godhood, and then let them choose whether to be reincarnated or go to his divine kingdom.

It’s a wonderful thought.

Even if the parents choose to reincarnate, it doesn't matter. Although Pearl is not very useful, it can still leave a mark on the spiritual aura of the parents in whose past lives she was born.

Even if that person is no longer the one they love.

Armies didn't want his parents to choose this path, but he wouldn't force them if they were determined to go down it.
