Nobody knows how to be a villain better than me.

To avoid unintentionally offending Saturn, Hermes spoke up to offer a reminder.

"Winter has just passed?"

Spring has arrived…

It wasn't until the divine messenger pointed to his feet and gave a further response that Zeus suddenly realized what was happening, slapped his forehead, and looked embarrassed.

He and Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, had a daughter named Persephone, who was deeply loved by him.

But by a twist of fate, she was spotted and abducted by Hades, the god of the underworld, who was traveling on Earth, and became the queen of the underworld.

Although Zeus mediated, Hades eventually relented, agreeing that his wife could stay in Hades for only three months each winter to keep him company, while she could spend the rest of the time on Earth with her mother.

Demeter, who was obsessed with her daughter, was still not satisfied with the outcome. She spent her days in tears, often lamenting her daughter's fate and misfortune.

Every year at the end of winter, Demeter would go to the surface early to bring her daughter Persephone back so that they could be reunited.

Before we knew it, spring had arrived again this year.

Over the years, as a father, he has been busy finding lovers, dealing with all sorts of troubles in Olympus, and consolidating his royal power, but he has rarely spent time with his wife or comforted his daughter.

Now, he's completely forgotten about the day his daughter was to return.

Even with Zeus's unwavering resolve, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty and coughed to change the subject.

Where is Hera?

"Your Majesty Hera is currently enjoying the scenery in the Sacred Garden..."

To view it in the Sacred Garden? That's just clinging to the idea of ​​the Earth Mother's divine authority.

The wise god-king frowned slightly, fully aware of his wife's intentions, but he also knew that no matter how many times she went, it was destined to be fruitless.

The primordial earth goddess Gaia is the one who values ​​the laws of life the most. Even when I tried to eliminate a child, I was severely reprimanded.

And you,?

He abandoned his own creation, Hephaestus; he couldn't tolerate the newborn Apollo and Artemis; he even sent the giant serpent to hunt them down; and he repeatedly persecuted his lovers and illegitimate children...

She should take a look at the mess she's made. It would be a miracle if she handed over the power of the Earth Mother to you.

Zeus muttered to himself, shaking his head in disapproval.

Compared to Hera, he suddenly felt that he, as a father, was somewhat better.

I have no choice but to rely on my peers to support me.

Recalling Hera's troubles, Zeus couldn't help but mention his two children, whom he was more satisfied with.

"By the way, where are Apollo and Artemis?"

"Aunt Hestia, haven't you been feeling a bit down lately? Your siblings took you on a spring outing."

"So, they went wandering around on the ground again?"

“Uh, yes, Father God.”

Hermes, who had initially tried to downplay the issue, sensed Zeus's displeasure and shrank back, his smile becoming awkward.

"What about Ares and Aphrodite?"

Immediately, the divine messenger, with his keen senses, coughed and whispered something.

"They're probably all in bed..."

Upon hearing this, Zeus's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and the power of lightning around him surged forth. He gave a cold look to the two who dared to stand him up because of their daytime affair.

He just entrusted Hephaestus with an important task, and you two bastards can't just shut up for a second!

It seems necessary to teach them a lesson.

At this moment, realizing that the Father God's anger had been diverted, Hermes breathed a long sigh of relief, glanced down at the mortal realm, and murmured to himself.

Bro, this is all I can do to help you.

Although he and Apollo had some misunderstandings at first, their relationship later became quite good. Besides, this matter involved three main gods, while the other side only had two, and neither of them were capable of fighting.

So, anyone with a brain knows how to introduce it.

Chapter 111 A Disastrous Women's Fight (1/3)

Mount Taigatos, Peloponnese Peninsula.

A herd of glossy golden deer grazed and drank in the forest, their bright eyes occasionally darting up to survey their surroundings.

The most eye-catching of them all is undoubtedly the elk, which stands upstream, enjoying clean spring water and a lush meadow all to itself. Its antlers, nearly two meters long, resemble outstretched branches, exuding a natural and wild charm.

However, these little creatures were completely unaware of two pairs of peering eyes in the bushes not far away, and a bronze arrow with its sharp edge nocked on a bowstring.

Hmph, I've been chasing you for ages, and I've finally caught you.

Concealed by the leaves, Athena arched her body, her eyes narrowed, her gaze fixed on her prey, her arrow aimed at the deer's forelegs, and she pursed her lips and hummed softly.

If it weren't for the plan to capture them alive, there wouldn't be so much trouble.

As the goddess of wisdom inhaled and exhaled, her body muscles undulated rhythmically. When her breath reached its peak, she released the arrow in one fluid motion.

The arrow was as fast as a meteor, carrying with it the air currents that had been torn apart, and arrived in an instant.

"when!"

However, at the very moment Athena fired her arrow, a strong wind swept across a gentle slope opposite, and blades of grass, severed by the sharp golden arrow, scattered and fell in a flurry.

Then, almost simultaneously, the tips of the two arrows collided, and a piercing metallic clang echoed through the air.

In an instant, after a brief stalemate, the bronze arrow, made of inferior material, exploded, scattering fragments everywhere.

However, the golden arrow, lacking sufficient power, also flew backward with a mournful cry after being impacted by this force, and crookedly stuck in the trunk of a tree.

"Moo!"

The startled deer, their expressions filled with terror, scattered and fled.

hum!

But the divine power emanating from both sides caused the seven or eight small creatures that had been specifically targeted to buckle and tremble on the ground.

"who!"

With a warning shout, two figures leaped from behind the bushes almost simultaneously, their eyes following the trajectory of the arrows, sharply aiming at the source.

"Hey, you over there! Why are you stealing my...my prey!"

The girl with long, flowing silver hair, standing 165cm tall, and petite and lithe was the first to frown and raise her eyebrows in protest.

A hunting bow with a gold frame and jewel embellishments, a long skirt with a gradient from red to white from the tail to the tip, and light red hunting boots...

Athena glanced at the girl's attire, seemingly lost in thought.

Not only is it exquisitely designed, but it also uses the highest-grade materials and forging techniques. It is covered with layers of magic arrays and cipher text, and has diverse functions, including tracking, sensing, and stealth.

Tsk, Olympian goddess, why aren't you staying at home? Why are you in the mountains of the Peloponnese?

"What do you mean by stealing? I clearly spotted this prey first. If you don't believe me, come closer and smell it; it's covered in the tracking powder from my trap."

Even though she had a rough idea of ​​the white-haired girl's identity, Athena still wouldn't back down, and continued to argue with all her might.

This stag king was very clever, and had caused a lot of trouble for wild animals and magical beasts on Mount Taigatos. The goddess of wisdom was also somewhat careless.

As a result, the hastily set trap was devoured by the deer, which then managed to escape.

However, her habitual practice of leaving herself a backup plan ensured that her wisdom and brilliance did not lead to a loss of authority.

At this moment, the silver-haired girl holding a hunting bow stepped forward. When she smelled the faint yet lingering fragrance of the deer's fur, her expression turned ugly.

"Are you sure? Can I go now?"

Athena calmly countered with a question, and before the hunting girl could respond, she confidently stepped forward and tied a noose around the little creature's neck.

However, as soon as Athena started to pull, the end of the rope was tightened by a pair of white arms.

“You cannot take your prey away! I am Artemis, goddess of nature and the hunt! These animals of the forest are mine!”

The silver-haired girl's pretty face tightened, and as she uttered the god's name, her expression became arrogant.

"What's wrong with God? Just because you say it's yours doesn't mean it is. Did you give birth to it, raise it, teach it, or protect it? What is born of nature and grows naturally belongs to whoever sees it first. That's what fairness is!"

Athena turned around and sneered, showing no sign of backing down, a hint of disdain flashing deep in her eyes.

Tch, those little brats from Olympus, just like their fathers.

The goddess of wisdom, taking advantage of her height, glanced down with disdain. However, when her gaze fell upon the white-haired little boy opposite her, whose chest was being tightly bound and whose two bulging mounds of flesh were almost bulging out, her face darkened.

Tsk, at 165cm, he's actually not small in some ways.

"you!"

At this moment, Artemis saw that the girl opposite her, upon hearing her name, showed no intention of bowing down in worship. She was speechless with anger and indignation, and in her anger, she increased the force of her grip.

laugh!

As the two struggled against each other, the rope, unable to bear the weight, snapped in an instant. Both swayed, then regained their balance, their gazes somber.

"What's mine is mine! You can't have it!"

"What, you're not being reasonable anymore, you're resorting to outright robbery?"

The two goddesses snorted and glared at each other, and simultaneously raised their arms to strike.

"boom!"

The two fists clashed, creating a surging wave of air and a sharp sonic boom. Dry branches and fallen leaves were swept up and scattered, shattering inch by inch in mid-air.

Thump thump thump!

Artemis retreated seven or eight steps, each footprint sinking several inches into the ground, leaving radial cracks around her before she regained her balance. Her slender arms were sore and numb, her blood and qi were surging, and her cheeks flushed and paled in turns.

Athena, who had assumed the Pancrass stance, stood firmly in place, slowly withdrew her stance, and hooked her index finger forward, with a slightly provocative air.

"If you want to rob someone outright, you'd better see if you have the ability!"

"Alright, then whoever grabs it first keeps it!"

The proud Artemis was also enraged. Without saying a word, she immediately drew her bow, nocked an arrow, and shot.

Athena raised her right hand and precisely caught the arrow that had been shot toward her left shoulder blade. With a burst of strength from her five fingers, she snapped the golden arrow in two.

"Little dwarf, it's my turn!"

"Don't be so smug, you female gorilla!"

The two silver-haired goddesses clashed fiercely, each shouting angrily, and engaged in a fierce battle in the dense forest.

Having experienced Athena's terrifying explosive power and close combat skills during their recent close encounter, Artemis decisively created distance, drew her hunting bow, and began shooting as she moved, making full use of the archer's mobility.

laugh!

As the golden light pierced the sky, the divine power enveloping the goddess of wisdom was instantly broken through several layers as the arrow tip flashed with white light.

Fortunately, Athena was experienced in battle and immediately moved aside with small steps to avoid the arrows.

puff!

The arrow pierced a cypress tree, its tail feathers trembling and humming. The wound on the tree was enveloped in a gray aura, and signs of tearing, withering, and decay appeared one after another.

Purification, curse?

This is really tricky; we'll have to get serious about it!

Athena remained calm, immediately using a sheepskin shield in one hand and a bronze spear in the other to parry and strike, then charged forward with a powerful stomp.

Even unleashing the power of the Purifying Bow and the Plague Arrow couldn't bring her down! Damn it!

Artemis, caught in a dilemma, frowned deeply and cursed through gritted teeth.

At the same time, the shockwaves and roars from the battle between the two goddesses spread in all directions, startling the birds in the forest.

problem occurs!

Dozens of gazes from both sides immediately converged on this spot, and figures rushed towards the source of the sound.
