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

Ash thought so, but he felt that it would be better for him to do nothing.

This is not to say that he wanted to be a bad guy who wanted it all, silently enjoying the gold coins Aphrodite gave him without responding.

In fact, Ash had a strange feeling that if he really went to Cyprus and expressed his gratitude to Aphrodite, she would probably become even more excited and would work harder to give him money and popcorn.

Although this was just a strange thought, Ash felt that he would encounter this result.

Because... all the goddesses he met were like this. As long as he showed a little gratitude, they would be eager to give him all their divine cores and powers!

When Ash thought of this, he felt as if he had turned into some kind of unscrupulous Greek VTB, born specifically to steal the gods' gold coins.

However, he didn't think it was his problem.

After all, apart from his actions towards Persephone when he was young, he had never flirted with any other goddess.

Faced with a god whom he had never provoked but who still came up to him and gave him gold coins, Ash really only had one thing to say: Damn, does your Greek mecha god like popcorn so much?

Just as Ash was complaining in his mind and preparing to activate Galatea to establish the basic personality and behavioral logic for his mecha wife, he suddenly felt someone pulling up his sleeves, followed by a gust of wind that blew him out of the Temple of Saturn.

Although the man did not reveal his identity, Ash immediately knew who he was.

"Hades, what are you doing?"

Ash frowned and complained, "I was just about to activate Galatea!"

"Oh my, you actually knew it was me?"

The void in front of Ash opened up, revealing the exquisite and slightly cunning face of the King of the Underworld. She smiled and said, "I still want to scare you."

"In all of Eleusis, you are the only one who possesses the power of invisibility besides me. You can't scare me at all."

Ash didn't believe what Hades said.

He deliberately showed an angry expression and questioned the King of the Underworld: "If you don't tell the truth, I will really report you to Mother Demeter."

"Oh, you didn't report me?"

Hades showed a hint of surprise, then smiled and said, "It seems that you still have me in your heart~"

"...Could you please stop disgusting me?"

Ash said with a stern face, "Do you know that you really deserve a beating right now?"

"I only accept negative distance beatings, no other attacks."

Hades winked playfully and spoke with a fierce and unwavering composure, "How about... you try fighting first?"

"I think you're so sexually repressed that you want to weed Egypt!"

Ash unleashed his most powerful attack yet against the King of the Underworld and threatened, "If you, Riddler, don't get down to business, I won't create the Erinyes for you!"

"Eh? So cruel?"

Hades looked surprised and said with a rather malicious expression, "It seems... I really need to be obedient, otherwise I won't be able to have children..."

After sighing, the King of the Underworld explained the current situation in the most abstract and concise way possible to Ash: "The Ares brand wild boar you ordered is on its way and will be in front of you in five minutes. Sign for this takeaway with your blood."

"What the hell? Ares is going to kill me?"

Ash said with a stern expression, "Didn't Zeus set a rule that the gods cannot directly interfere with the human world?"

"He turned into a wild boar just to circumvent this rule~"

Hades looked at Ash with a pleased expression and explained.

"Even if that's the case, I can just hide in Eleusis and not leave!"

"Could it be possible... that he could still break into Eleusis for no reason and launch an indiscriminate attack without a pretext to unleash [Divine Punishment]?"

Ash complained with a grimace, "No matter how stupid he is, he can't possibly go against his own Father, right?"

"Although Ares is brainless, it is indeed impossible for him to directly violate Zeus's ban."

Hades smiled and said, "But he doesn't have any way to force you to fight."

"What can I do?"

"He doesn't think that he can make me leave the city to fight simply by taunting me with dirty words, right?"

Ash complained unhappily, "When faced with trolls like this, I can just repeat [Rebound] and that's it."

"Uh... I didn't realize you had such a talent."

Hades wiped the nonexistent cold sweat from his forehead and continued, "He will use the power of [War] to forcibly declare war on you and force you to duel with him."

"What do you say?"

Ash couldn't hold it in any longer, "This Ares... can he force me to duel with him?"

"The God of War possesses the power to declare war, but if one uses this power forcefully, they will have to pay a price."

Hades explained, "As the price for forcing you to [Duel], he will transform into a wild boar and at most be able to unleash the power of a divine beast, not even the power of a main god."

"Even so, Ares has the upper hand by beating me!"

Ash couldn't hold it in any longer, "No matter how you look at it, this Ares wants to kill me, right?"

Facing Ash's question, Hades grinned and revealed a sly smile: "Don't worry, Ares won't kill you."

"He knows that even if you die, Aphrodite will find a way to resurrect you and turn you into a god that travels between the underworld and the human world."

Hades said, "Therefore, he will make some adjustments to the rules of victory and defeat in the Duel."

"What adjustment?"

Ash couldn't help his curiosity.

"nothing."

Hades said meaningfully, "It just means the victor will take away the loser's [Fatherhood], but it won't take your life~"

"What's the matter?"

Ash couldn't believe his ears. "He wants to bet on [Fatherhood]?"

"I never provoked him, nor did I tease Aphrodite. Why would he do such a vicious thing?"

Ash couldn't help but curse, "This ditch Ares, isn't he afraid of overturning himself?!"

"If he were afraid of losing, he wouldn't be the God of War."

Hades smiled and said, "How is it? Are you scared?"

"I'm definitely afraid of that!"

Ash complained, "Aren't you afraid that a mad dog might bite you and infect you with some madness?"

"So you want to run away?"

Hades asked, "If you put on the [cloak of concealment] and leave Eleusis, you can still avoid this duel."

Facing the question from the King of the Underworld, Ash, who always followed his heart, shook his head and replied firmly: "Going to the market!"

"There's no such thing as a thief on guard against thieves for a thousand days. Even less so, a thief on the run for a thousand days!"

Ash said seriously, "If I run away, will he stop chasing me?"

"That's the truth."

Hades smiled and nodded, "...So, you want to fight?"

"Correct."

Ash said angrily, "He's almost weakened himself to the level of a divine beast. If I still don't dare to fight him, then I might as well stay in the goddess' arms for the rest of my life."

"That's not bad either."

Hades smiled and said, "At least I, Persephone and Aphrodite don't mind you being a useless person~"

"You don't mind the useless people, but I do mind it myself!"

Ash said, "This battle must be fought, there is no other way!"

"Very good, this is the momentum!"

Hades nodded with satisfaction. "As long as you have this kind of momentum, you can beat Ares to his knees and turn him into your star!"

"Damn Hades, what's with your imagination?!"

Facing the instigation of the King of the Underworld, Ash couldn't help but knock on her head and urged, "Hurry up and think of a way to defeat him!"

"It's okay. I'll still love you even if you become a woman."

Hades smiled and said, "I have nothing against lesbians."

"Stop talking nonsense and think of a solution for me!"

Ash cursed, "I can feel the ground shaking. Ares, that BYD is about to arrive!"

"Don't worry, you can't lose."

"Although you can only fight Ares in single combat, you will not be subject to any other attack restrictions."

Hades smiled and said, "On the contrary, Ares will be forced to use the wild boar's fighting style because he forced such a 'duel' with such a huge disparity in strength."

"What do you say?"

Ash was stunned when he heard this, then said, "You mean to say that after Ares turns into a wild boar, he can't use any power and can only charge and bite?"

"Yes."

Hades smiled and said, "Although he is very powerful, he is not an impossible target for you to defeat...isn't he?"

Faced with the King of the Underworld's answer, Ash immediately revealed the same sinister smile.

After figuring out the rules of the [Duel] that Ares was about to initiate, Ash knew that he was sure to win.

Because he knew that the nature of this [duel] started by Ares had completely changed for him.

Now he is a hunter who wants to defeat and hunt down evil gods.

Unfortunately, this was exactly what Ash did when he was an agent.

Therefore, he quickly entered the hunting state, waiting for the evil god to come.

Not long after.

Along with the roar of the earth, a red wild boar as big as a hill and full of spirit appeared outside the city of Eleusis.

[Damn pretty boy, Ash Adonis! ]

[I, Ares, the God of War, will wager [Fatherhood] and duel with you!]

Following the declaration of the God of War, Ash, who was hiding above the city gate, suddenly felt his blood surge up, and his body stood up inadvertently, meeting his eyes.

There is no doubt that under the power of [Declare War], Ash cannot avoid Ares's duel invitation even if he wants to.

As expected, no matter how abstract the [power] is, as long as it can be exerted, it will have full power.

After actually feeling the power of the [Declare War] power, Ash couldn't help but sigh: Am I experiencing Hector's feelings in advance?

Unfortunately, Ash was not facing Achilles, but Ares, the god of war.

However, he is not afraid.

Because the enemy will not become gentle because of your fear.

[Little White Face, do you dare to fight me? ]

Faced with the God of War's provocation, Ash didn't rush to respond. Instead, he gazed toward Mount Olympus in the distance and offered his most solemn pre-battle prayer.

"Great Queen of Heaven, Her Majesty Hera, I also ask you to bear witness."

"I will accept Ares's [Declaration of War] and fight him."

"This is undoubtedly an unfair duel."

"Therefore, I do not ask for your protection or blessing, but only for your witness and acceptance of the outcome of this duel."

Ash prayed earnestly, "Please, great and gentle as you are, respond for your child."

【What are you talking about, you nagging mother? 】

Ares cursed, "You don't think I'm afraid of the Mother Goddess's teachings, do you?"

Ash still did not respond to Ares' words, but continued to pray to Hera: "Merciful Her Majesty, please respond to me."

[You bastard! ]
