Becoming a Saint Seiya since the Age of Mythology

"Well... I think the adults might be putting everyone in a difficult position!"

Wu Xin smiled bitterly and said, "Even gods cannot control the seven emotions and six desires. Therefore, there is no such thing as a divine technique or treasure in the world that can make one person love another person exclusively!"

Love, one of the seven emotions and six desires, is an emotion that all living beings naturally possess and an innate instinct.

Therefore, this emotion is beyond the control of anyone, not even God.

If Aphrodite were just a mortal, it would be easier to explain; there might be ways to deal with it.

You can simply erase Aphrodite's memories and then let the craftsman slowly cultivate their relationship.

But Aphrodite is a deity. Forcibly erasing a god's memories and then making him fall in love with her is no different from controlling a god's mind.

This is much more difficult than defeating a god.

Hephaestus thought for a moment and agreed, "It is indeed a bit difficult for people!"

"Then, I will change my condition."

"I want to see that person again."

"I can even let bygones be bygones and reconcile with her!"

"Surely you can manage this!"

"This is definitely much easier than the previous one!"

Wu Xin nodded and said seriously, "However, I cannot make a decision. I need to discuss this matter with those two!"

"no problem!"

Hephaestus had no objection.

Immediately afterwards, a beam of crimson light suddenly shot out from the huge pupil underground, landing directly on Wuxin and forming a red hammer-shaped mark.

“This is…” Wu Xin was somewhat surprised when he saw it.

Hephaestus patiently explained, "This is the key to my slumbering place. No matter where you are in this fiery hell, you can activate it and use the power of the mark to instantly arrive here, ignoring the barriers I set up before."

"Thank you very much, sir!" Wuxin was extremely grateful.

With this mark, it will be much easier for him to enter this place again.

"Go ahead, I await your good news!"

Hephaestus said nothing more, and a beam of red light shot out from his huge pupils, landing on Wuxin once more.

Wu Xin felt a lightness under his feet, and he left the canyon where the God of Craftsman slumbered, arriving outside the canyon.

"Now, let's see how that person in the Rain Garden responds!"

He sighed softly, then began to turn back towards the second prison.

Chapter 95 The Most Beautiful Goddess

Despite his best disguise, Wuxin still took nearly seven days to return to the Rain Garden in the Second Prison.

Upon hearing Wuxin relay the conditions set by the God of Crafts, the woman in black almost spat out the tea in her mouth.

"No way? That guy is actually planning to forgive her? He wants to continue living with her?"

The woman in the black veil felt both angry and amused.

Despite being cheated on, this master craftsman is still eager to forgive the woman and even wants to reconcile with her.

"Or is it that the most beautiful goddess in your mortal eyes truly possesses such great charm?" the woman in black asked Wuxin with amusement.

Upon hearing this sensitive question, Wuxin waved his hands repeatedly and said, "That was just the foolish Paris's own opinion. We Saints have never agreed with his comments!"

When it comes to the topic of the most beautiful goddess, Athena, the goddess of her own sanctuary, is one of the main characters.

As a Saint Seiya, Goshin would never hesitate on this issue, nor would he have any other choice.

Legend has it that in the age of mythology, when the great human hero Peleus married the sea goddess Thetis, he hosted a banquet for countless heroes and gods.

Whether it was due to their oversight or someone's deliberate act, Eris, the goddess of discord and conflict, was not invited to this banquet.

Unfortunately, that goddess was also a petty and vindictive person.

Therefore, the goddess secretly sneaked into the banquet and threw out a precious golden apple with the blessing: "Dedicated to the most beautiful goddess."

Beauty is undoubtedly something that any goddess would like to pursue, especially the title of the most beautiful. No beautiful goddess would want to admit that she is not as beautiful as others.

It's like how men love to compete for titles like "there's no first place in literature, but there's no second place in martial arts."

The three goddesses fiercely competed for the title of "most beautiful".

They are Hera, the mother of the gods; Athena, the goddess of war and wisdom; and Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty.

The three goddesses refused to yield to each other and invited Zeus, the king of the gods, to act as judge.

Faced with this situation, Zeus naturally refused to get involved.

Regardless of which one he deems the most beautiful goddess, he will inevitably offend the other two.

The cunning man promptly threw the question out to someone else, and invited a handsome and dashing mortal prince named Paris from nearby to make the judgment.

All three goddesses hoped to gain Paris's approval and each made a promise.

Hera, the mother of the gods, promised that if she obtained the golden apple, Paris would rule the richest country in the world; Athena, the goddess of war and wisdom, promised that if she obtained the golden apple, Paris would become the wisest sage; and Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, promised that if she obtained the golden apple, Paris would have the most beautiful woman in the world.

In Wu Xin's view, Hera's and Athena's promises were both profound and extraordinary, while Aphrodite's promise was too superficial.

Unfortunately, Paris is a shallow guy who is better at thinking with his lower body.

Therefore, Paris awarded the golden apple to Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty.

This is the origin of the so-called 'most beautiful goddess in the eyes of mortals'.

"It's not so much that the goddess was charming, but rather that the God of Crafts was more infatuated. He truly loved that goddess deeply!" Wuxin said with emotion.

"That's really rare, really rare!"

The woman in the black veil nodded, glancing subtly at Orpheus not far away.

"but--"

The woman in black changed the subject, adding playfully, "Since you know Paris, you should know that your goddess and that woman have had a complete falling out ever since the Golden Apple dispute."

"As for me... although I have no grudge against that woman, I still tend to stand on Athena's side."

"Hephaestus wants our help to reconcile him and his wife, but he's probably asked the wrong person!"

"Then what can we do? Is there really no way to solve this?" Wu Xin was speechless.

If he can't solve Hephaestus's problem, he naturally can't solve the problem of the lady in front of him either, so he'll have to stay in hell and can't leave.

The woman in black veiled picked up her teacup, took a small sip, and said calmly, "Don't rush, let me think about it some more..."

"Let's see if we can find a way to persuade Athena to temporarily put aside her feud with Aphrodite!"

As she spoke, she casually wiped her hand in front of her, as if wiping a piece of transparent glass.

Immediately afterwards, the image of the Holy Land Goddess's Throne appeared.

"Is there something you need, sister?" Sasha asked sweetly, holding her scepter.

The woman in black veil put down her teacup, pointed at Wuxin again, and said seriously, "The Giant Seat has been found, and we have met the God of Crafts."

"But the God of Crafts made a request before he was willing to lend the spark of the 'Blazing Soul Flame'."

"Regarding this matter, I think we should consult your opinion, Athena!"

Sasha, puzzled, asked with a smile, "May I ask, what request did the God of Crafts make?"

The woman in black veil said with some helplessness, "He said he wants our help to get back together with that woman!"

Upon hearing this, Sasha's expression immediately changed.

Immediately afterwards, those originally sky-blue gemstone eyes were tinged with a light gold, and her entire demeanor underwent a dramatic change.

An extremely majestic divine power seemed to be projected onto the side of hell through the mirror.

At that moment, Wuxin immediately understood that Athena's true self must have awakened.

"Don't think about it!"

Athena uttered only two words before retreating back to her original gentle self, Sasha.

However, although Athena's consciousness appeared for only a brief moment, her vast and powerful divine might enveloped the entire Holy Land.

Many gold diggers rushed over to check the situation.

Sasha said to everyone with a slight apology, "I'm so sorry to have disturbed you all!"

"Lord Sasha, what was that aura just now...?" Pope Sage asked with suspicion.

“Don’t worry, that’s just a brief awakening of her true self!” Sasha replied, pointing to her chest.

She is Athena, but Athena is not her.

Although others might see them as the same person, she knew in her heart that there were still some differences between them.

"I see, I see!" Sage breathed a sigh of relief.

The goddess's conscious self briefly awakened, which also means that her full awakening is imminent, which will greatly help them in their fight against Hades.

The others nodded secretly, overjoyed.

In Hell, Athena's true self awakened and veiled her in a definitive rejection, leaving the woman in black veil utterly helpless.

Ultimately, the battle for the golden apple was merely a contest of pride among the three goddesses, but the ensuing Trojan War further exacerbated the conflict between Athena and Aphrodite.

It's no wonder that Athena's ego briefly awakened, and she personally rejected the proposal.

Chapter 96 Spring Apostle

"The goddess Athena does not agree to reconcile with that person. What does the lady plan to do next?" Wuxin asked cautiously.

After shutting down the mirror link with the Sanctuary, the woman in black said with a hint of helplessness, "If she is unwilling to help, I cannot force her."

"It seems I'll have to try it myself!"

"In that case, could you please remove the mark from my body and let me leave?" Wu Xin asked tentatively.
