Shirou's clones number 30 million

"What do you think of the comic's plot, Brother Apollo?" Saori Kido paused for a moment, then tentatively asked, "A holy war happens every two hundred years or so, and I'm getting a little tired of it. What do you think, Brother Apollo?"

Apollo chuckled but didn't reply.

Although the girl before him was the reincarnation of Athena, she did not have Athena's memories. To say that she was tired of her would be too fake.

However, various things such as the microcosm, soul, and status are constantly pushing her to gravitate towards Athena.

In truth, she really is Athena.

"So what if you're tired of it? Are you willing to relinquish ownership of the land and withdraw from this holy war?"

“Brother Apollo, what I mean is, the Holy War has been fought so many times, and I have won every time. In that case, why doesn’t the Heavenly Realm just decide that I will rule the Earth? That way, the Holy War will naturally not happen.”

"You wish! It's one thing to say this to me, but do you think anyone else would agree?"

"So, Brother Apollo is willing to support me?"

"What good is it if I support you? But you have a point. This holy war that has lasted for so long is indeed tiresome."

As long as the ownership of the land is not truly determined, even if this holy war ends, it will start again more than two hundred years later.

Apollo pondered for a few seconds, smiled slightly, and suggested:

"In that case, how about we make a deal?"

“Reopen the council of the Olympian gods. I support you to become the god of the earth, and you support me to replace Zeus and become the new king of the gods.”

At that moment, Athena's dormant cosmos showed extremely obvious fluctuations.

After a long while, things returned to calm.

“Brother Apollo, it is extremely disrespectful to the Father to say such things.”

“A pointless test. I’m not afraid to tell you, I did the same thing as Saga.”

"what!"

Kido Saori's expression changed slightly, and she looked surprised.

“Back then, although I was weaker than the old man, I took advantage of his trust to set a trap. Now, he can no longer show up.”

To be honest, Apollo's dissatisfaction with Zeus was more numerous than the stars in the sky.

They spread their seeds everywhere like honeybees, which is truly disgusting.

"So Brother Apollo can do this kind of thing too."

"Don't pretend to be so shocked. There are plenty of people in the Heavenly Realm who are dissatisfied with the old man; it's just that they put on a harmonious facade. If you weren't worried about him harming you, how could you have kept reincarnating?"

"Huh...? Was I reincarnated for this reason?"

"As one of the few virgin goddesses in the celestial realm, what makes you think you can remain untainted? It's all thanks to your exceptional ability to hide."

The above is merely a joke about Athena; only Athena herself probably knows the truth.

Apollo chuckled softly and shook his head slightly:

"That's enough joking around. What's your answer?"

“I agree,” Saori Kido replied without hesitation.

"Don't get too excited yet. Before that, you need to persuade Artemis. Only if you can convince her to help will our deal be finalized. Otherwise, once you leave this room, I'll renege on what I just said."

"Okay, I'll go find her now."

"You're really confident, but I must remind you that what you just said can't be used as a basis for persuasion."

"So, only the two of us knew about Zeus's accident?" Saori Kido's face lit up with joy.

"Yes."

“Don’t worry, Brother Apollo, I will find a way to persuade her.”

"In that case, I'll wait here for your good news."

"Brother Apollo, aren't you coming along?"

“I won’t go. I have a history of pressuring her. Besides, this is also a way for me to assess your abilities.”

“In that case, I’m going, Brother Apollo.”

"it is good."

Apollo's thoughts shifted, and Saori Kido appeared before the Temple of the Moon.

I knocked twice on the door and slowly stepped inside.

"..."

Artemis looked at the newcomer with surprise, sensing that familiar cosmos, and quickly realized who it was.

"Athena, your cosmos hasn't awakened yet. How did you manage to get here as a mere mortal?"

Although she had never seen the woman before her, a name came to mind for Saori Kido: Artemis.

“Sister Artemis, I have come to ask you for a favor.”

"Please leave. I have no interest in your affairs." Artemis's expression was extremely cold, as if she were looking at a stranger.

“Sister Artemis, please let me finish. I wish to convene a council of the Olympian gods, where we will definitively claim ownership of the earth. I ask for your support at the council, Sister Artemis.”

"Are you crazy? You've convened a meeting without authorization and now you want to claim ownership of the land? Aren't you afraid of the Father God's punishment?"

It seems she is unaware of Zeus's death.

Because of the manga, Saori Kido had no doubt that Apollo had said he had done the same thing as Saga.

“Sister Artemis, I heard from Brother Apollo that Father God has disappeared and is now in charge of the heavens. In that case, why don’t we hold a meeting to elect a new God-King and, while we’re at it, definitively determine the ownership of the earth?”

"When did you get in touch with Brother Apollo?"

Artemis's expression suddenly turned stern, and her voice rose a few decibels.

Upon seeing this, the word "brotherly love" unconsciously came to mind for Saori Kido.

Perhaps we can start here and test the waters first.

"What I just said was actually Apollo's proposal. What do you think?"

"What's wrong with you two? Isn't Father God's disappearance a common occurrence? What are you planning to do when he comes back? Fight him?"

"We'll discuss the matter of the Father God later. What do you think of Brother Apollo's suggestion?"

“If it were Brother Apollo speaking in person, I would naturally give my full support. But you… please go back.”

It was a success, but not a complete success.

Saori Kido thought to herself, "If we turn back now, we should go and invite Apollo over to help persuade him."

At that time, he will definitely feel that he is not capable enough, and may change his mind.

“It’s been too lonely for Sister Artemis to stay here all this time. The human world has been developing very fast recently, and there are many fun things to do.”

"Would you like to come with me to the human world for a day?"

It's impossible to tell what kind of personality she has from just a few words.

Therefore, the best way is naturally to take her on a date in the human world.

During this process, carefully observe her personality and then address the specific issues accordingly.

"You actually invited me to visit the human world?" Artemis looked surprised, but quickly calmed down and said calmly, "Even if you do that, I won't change my mind."

"Sister Artemis, don't overthink it. It's just a normal date invitation. As for the request you just made, it has nothing to do with the date; those are two separate things."

"In that case, I agree."

Chapter 631 Revered as a Sacred Object

Chapter 631, Section 632, Revered as a Sacred Object

"What are they doing?"

As Artemis strolled down the street, she noticed a group of elderly people gathered in a house to worship a white object, and instinctively asked a question.

"That's a ritual performed before construction begins to worship sacred objects."

Saori Kido glanced at it, a slight smile appearing on her face:

"I initially thought that an evil god was proselytizing, so I sent people to investigate. Only then did I realize that it was just a ritual."

"When did humans become so ignorant? And what kind of creature is that? I've never seen it before."

"It is a creature called slime. Because it has functions such as healing, metallurgy, and sewing, and the effects are very obvious, it is called a divine gift by humans."

"A creature that has no power whatsoever, no inner strength whatsoever?"

"I also find it strange. Logically speaking, a weak creature like a slime, which only exists in fantasy novels, would become a pet like a cat or dog if it appeared in reality."

Saori Kido smiled slightly and shifted her gaze to the side of the street.

Through the window, one could vaguely see patients asking slimes to treat their injuries.

"Reality is often more wondrous than fantasy, Sister Artemis, don't you think so?"

"When did this happen? I've been observing the changes on the earth the whole time, why didn't I notice it at all?"

“I didn’t pay attention to the exact time, but it’s been about three to five days. If Sister Artemis is interested in this, we can go to the slime specialty store to take a look.”

Saori Kido paused for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Speaking of which, the shop itself is quite peculiar; the owner claims he can grant any wish of his customers."

“This tone is not something a mortal could utter,” Artemis mused.

"I once suspected he was a god in disguise, but I didn't find any cosmos in him. However, I now have the answer from my brother Apollo."

“You’re hiding something from me,” Artemis said with absolute certainty.

"We just chatted a bit more before we reached the same goal."

"You will not succeed. Even without the memories of the past, your soul should already have remembered the power of the Father God."

"Perhaps, but strength and weakness are always relative, not absolute."

“Even so, I do not believe you can surpass the Father.”
