Type-Moon, there are too many myths that defy the heavens!

Our Greek flower...is it taking a detour?

Chapter 47 Persephone at work.

While Hermes and Apollo were explaining and complaining, several rounds of the Texas Hold'em game prepared by Ash had already passed.

Perhaps it was due to Ash's deliberate guidance, or Athena's sudden enlightenment, the following game was much more amicable than the first one.

If we were to make a suitable analogy to describe the difference in intensity between the games, it would be like the Second World Martial Arts Tournament and the First World Martial Arts Tournament in Yu-Gi-Oh!, the Seven Yin Underworld Game to the Anti-Gold Auto Chess in Three Kingdoms Kill, the League of Legends ranked life and death game to the Golden Spatula game... Regardless of the gameplay for now, at least the gaming atmosphere is very different and much more harmonious.

Even later on, the entire game mode almost turned into a New Year's Business Bureau, and the demigod heroes basically became playmates and foils, used to provide emotional value to the goddess.

Logically speaking, such a situation should be increasingly boring, even increasingly rubbish, or even dispensable to the two gods of fun, Hermes and Apollo.

However, the reality is quite different.

Because, although this game is entertainment for gods and business for demigods, it is different for Ash.

As the founder, organizer, referee, player, companion and even prize winner of the entire game, Ash has so much to consider!

He could neither let Athena and Artemis, the two goddesses who gave up their deliberate fight for victory but were not opposed to victory, win; nor could he let Hercules, a fence-sitter, win; nor could he let Atalanta, who took the initiative to assist his goddess, win. In the end, he could only find a way to make himself, or a god with a certain status like the Dioscuri twins, the winner.

It's not enough to manipulate the situation and let the right players win.

He also had to appease the two goddesses, so that they wouldn't feel too bad about losing, and then he had to treat them as evenly as possible, so that the two goddesses who took advantage wouldn't be dissatisfied...

Therefore, although the normal game process lacks the fierce fighting and gunpowder smell that people who like to watch the most, it is not lacking in fun at all.

Rather, Hermes and Apollo watched with even greater amusement.

Because... Mr. Game Prize... ahem, Mr. Champion is really trying too hard!

"Oh my gosh, our Flower of Greece is actually playing tricks with the cards!"

Hermes opened his eyes wide and exclaimed, "He actually dealt the cards in a beautiful shape!"

"He actually used his skills to blatantly take the ?Q, the symbol of Athena, from Ariadne, and even said he had always wanted it and would cherish it?"

Apollo was incredulous, "Oh my God, how on earth did he manage to keep his expression straight and say something like that?"

"Oh my! In this round, he deliberately used his skills to give his good cards to Afia, and said he wanted to help his sister win the game."

Hermes held his head and said, "Damn it! This operation is obviously very deliberate and flattering, but with that pretty face, I can't find any fault with it!"

"No, how could he discuss the creation of life with Daedalus while playing cards, and then turn the conversation to Ariadne, saying he wanted to learn from her after the game was over?"

Apollo couldn't help but complain, "She actually accepted such an obvious bribe?"

At this point, the God of Light couldn't help but sigh: "If I had been so eloquent back then, I wouldn't have been heartbroken, right?"

Hermes couldn't hold it in any longer and complained, "Wake up! This requires the other party to already have a good impression of you. You're only going to make her run faster if you treat Daphne like this."

"You kid, why do you have to talk about this when there are no other good things to say, right?"

Apollo couldn't help but grab his brother's neck, "I don't like what you said, take it back now!"

"I'm not slandering you, I'm just telling the truth!"

Hermes suppressed the pain and complained, "Why are you still sad when I tell you the truth?"

Maybe it was because the title of the live broadcast room was too attractive, or maybe it was because the fight between the two male gods was too funny.

This live broadcast room, which was originally only open to the Olympian Mecha Gods and mostly used by Hermes and Apollo for their own entertainment, actually saw some audience feedback and comments.

[Poseidon: You two can fight, but don't cut the screen!]

Hestia: Exactly. I'm tired of seeing both of your faces. Quick, cut back to the Argo!

Hebe: My two brothers...please pay attention to your appearance...

Faced with the barrage of comments from two main gods and one subordinate god, the two gods immediately put down their fists, sat back in their chairs and continued the live broadcast.

"Cough cough."

Apollo cleared his throat and said seriously, "That was a live broadcast accident. Please don't take it seriously."

"Yes."

Hermes put his clothes away and said as if nothing had happened, "Let's cut back to the scene."

"Alas, the final winner of this round is Afia."

Hermes quickly explained, "Contestant Afia isn't at all upset by Ash's social skills; on the contrary, she actually enjoys them. It seems like she's easily satisfied."

"Same with Ariadne!"

Apollo continued, "After our player Ash launched the "learning offensive," she didn't seem to care about the outcome of the game at all. Instead, she wanted to finish the game quickly and enter the reward... Phew, it's the teaching session!"

"In the battles outside of this game, which of these two real players has the advantage and a better chance of winning?"

Hermes teased, "Apollo, what do you think?"

"It seems like Ariadne has the upper hand, but I think she's still a little too dominant."

Apollo said, "If she operates like this, she's likely to win, win, win outside of the game, and end up losing, right?"

"That is to say..."

Hermes said, "Do you think Aphia has a better chance of winning?"

"Although she's not that strong, her status is there, and it still puts pressure on people."

"Objectively speaking, I actually think Helen has a better chance of winning because her position doesn't put too much pressure on people."

Apollo said seriously, "Not only that, she is also the only person in the entire game who works for Ash, helps him, and shares his worries."

At this point, Apollo concluded: "I believe that most men still prefer this kind of gentle and considerate traditional woman who will share their burdens."

"Oh, that's absolutely true."

Hermes said, "So subjectively speaking, who do you think will win?"

"Of course it's Afia."

Apollo replied directly, "Regardless of what you say, although Afia still faces pressure from her social status, judging by her appearance and behavior, she's clearly done extensive user research. I believe her talent and ability are enough to bridge the gap in status!"

"Hey, why do you think so highly of her?"

Hermes teased, "You're not thinking that if Afia wins, you'll have a better chance, right?"

“…I don’t have such an idea!”

Apollo quickly waved his hands and said, "You are slandering me, you are slandering me!"

"I was just kidding~"

Hermes smiled and tried to smooth things over, changing the subject. "But then again, the first time we saw the Greek flower was when we were observing the rose-scented black snake that Hercules encountered during his first battle, right?"

"Correct."

Apollo said, "At that time, Artemis was still protecting him, so I said there was a better chance."

"That's just your opinion."

Hermes smiled and said, "I wonder what my family thinks?"

Hestia: I don't care, as long as he can support the family.

【Hebe: I don’t mind either.】

[Poseidon: It has to be Aphrodite. She is Ash's destined true love! ]

"Oh?"

Hermes looked at the comments and couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect Second Uncle to be so optimistic about Aphrodite, even though Aphrodite hasn't even entered the scene yet."

"I think Second Uncle isn't optimistic about Aphrodite...but is waiting to see Beloa, right?"

Apollo complained, "Uncle, can you please restrain yourself? Your thoughts are too obvious~"

Faced with Apollo's complaints, Hermes couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Oh, don't tease my uncle, we already know that he is a philanthropist."

The reason why the God of Cunning laughed was mainly because Poseidon's thoughts were so easy to understand.

In the future foreseen by the gods, Aphrodite will marry Ash, her destined true love, and give birth to the fruit of their love.

The fruit of their love was named Belo Wo, a beauty who inherited the beautiful qualities of her parents and was expected to be the target of Zeus in the future.

In order to avoid the tragic end of her beloved daughter, Aphrodite summoned Eros and used the golden arrow symbolizing love to make Poseidon, the god of the sea, and Dionysus, the god of wine, fall in love with Bethlehem at the same time, causing the two main gods to compete for it and even triggering a war between the gods.

In the end, the war between gods ended with Poseidon's victory, and Belo Wolla avoided the tragic fate of being coveted by Zeus and became the Queen of the Sea.

Therefore, the reason why Poseidon supported Aphrodite was not well known to everyone, but at least he had a clear calculation.

[Poseidon: You two stop talking nonsense. I'm not hoping for the birth of Boroa sooner. I simply respect pure love. Do you understand pure love?]

Faced with Poseidon's barrage of defense, the entire live broadcast room suddenly became cheerful.

Not only that, even the two Greek loudmouths, Hermes and Apollo, couldn't help laughing.

Pure love? How can you, the second-in-command of Greece, have the nerve to support pure love?

If you want to support pure love, then what is Amphitrite, the Queen of the Sea, and what is Caeneus?

You can lie to us, but don't lie to yourself, okay?

However, Poseidon is not the most ridiculous player in the entire live broadcast room.

[Anonymous user: Am I the only one who thinks Ash is too contrived and only knows how to please women?]

Looking at this anonymous comment that suddenly appeared, the entire live broadcast room suddenly became quiet.

Then, everyone present couldn't hold it anymore.

"I'm not complaining... nor am I not giving you face..."

Hermes couldn't help but say, "Even for me to be so smooth in this situation is remarkable. What else can you say?"

"Yeah, yeah, don't stand and talk without getting a backache."

Apollo complained, "If you think he's being contrived... then do you have any better ideas?"

[Anonymous user: It's very simple, just fight them head-on and conquer them! ]

Faced with the anonymous user's answer, the two loudspeakers suddenly couldn't hold it in anymore.

No buddy, what's in your head to say something like that?

Let’s not talk about Artemis for now. Athena is the uncrowned goddess king in Greece, second only to the god-king Zeus and the complete god of the underworld Hades. Even the god-killer Typhon could not completely defeat her!

We can't even beat Athena, let alone Artemis. You are not just talking without any concern, you just want them to die, right?

"Looking around Olympus, the only ones who can hold Athena back are Father Zeus and the Godslayer Typhon..."

Hermes complained, "Who are you?"

"Actually, I think there's no difference between you being anonymous and not being anonymous..."

Apollo couldn't help but laugh and said, "If you have any ideas... you can just say it directly."

Poseidon: That's right, I can't even defeat Athena head-on. Isn't that a bit...?

[Hestia: Are...ah no, this anonymous user, you can't be unreasonable, right?]

Heber: ...

Not only that, even the other viewers who were watching the live broadcast silently couldn't help but burst into laughter.

【Hephaestus: Ares, you can't hide even if you remain anonymous.】

[Hades: Yeah, that's not cross-dressing at all, it's just a genuine expression of your feelings.]

[Athena (Double-open, please do not disturb): Ares, you wait for me. ]

Artemis (busy): I'll help too.

Faced with these lurkers who were blown out, and even the remarks of the people involved in the live broadcast, Hermes and Apollo finally couldn't hold back their breath and burst into tasteless laughter.

Logically speaking, they are professional journalists and anchors, and no matter how funny the things they encounter are, they can hold themselves together for the sake of their professional ethics and handsome image.

Unless, this joke is too classic.

then.

[Anonymous user: Who is Ares? Stop talking nonsense! ]
