Type-Moon, I heard that after death, you can ascend to the Throne of Heroes?

"Stop? Eh, why should I stop it?" Artemis tilted her head towards Atalanta with a puzzled look on her face.

"But if that happens, he will die!" Atalanta said in panic.

"Huh..." Artemis blinked and looked at Atalanta with a surprised expression, saying, "So you care so much about this child, little Atalanta?"

"I know, you like it, you must like it!"

“Goddess Artemis, what are you talking about!” Atalanta, with her eyes wide open, quickly retorted: “How could I possibly like such a weak guy who can’t even hunt and can’t outrun me!

Besides, I have given everything to you, Goddess Artemis, and I will never fall in love with anyone else in my life!"

"Well, little Atalanta, that's what makes you unlovable!" Faced with Atalanta's absolute loyalty, Artemis was not happy at all, and even puffed up her lips and said, "I didn't ask you to swear that oath, you insisted on doing that.

That’s why I don’t want to see you again. You’re really boring.”

"......Huh?" The fact was so shocking that Atalanta froze in place for a moment, staring blankly at the goddess she believed in.

Nuoyan on the side was not surprised at all. After all, in a sense, the moon goddess Artemis was the goddess he knew best.

"But that was in the past. Little Atalanta has become more and more adorable recently." Artemis stood on tiptoe and touched Atalanta's head with a smile, saying, "Since meeting little Nuoyan, she has become more adorable.

Atalanta stood there stupidly, looking at Artemis in front of her. At this moment, she didn't even know how to react.

At this moment, the river god Asopus came to Nuoyan with his crutch.

He looked at Nuoyan, and because he was a god, he could see more, for example, even though he predicted that he would die, his determination did not waver in the slightest.

And this is why Artemis said those words. For a god like her, witnessing what Promise has done is actually the highest praise and recognition.

"Are you going to catch him?"

But even so, the river god Asopos asked Nuoyan.

"Yeah." Nuoyan nodded.

The river god Asopus was silent for a while, and then said to Nuoyan: "Actually, I should stop you, because if you die, my daughter will be very sad."

When he saw Nuoyan, saw his daughter's blessing left on Nuoyan, and saw the painting that Nuoyan gave him, the river god Asopus not only knew that his daughter fell in love with Nuoyan, but also knew that Nuoyan saved her.

"But I see your determination, and...that was actually my dream." As he said this, the river god Asopus tapped the ground lightly with the crutch in his hand.

The river water in the distance surged and delivered a silver-white rein to Nuoyan's hands.

That was the artifact he had created after he had spent decades collecting precious materials while gazing at the silver-white meteor from afar, and finally asked Hephaestus, the god of craftsmen, to help him create it.

"Go, son," said the river god Asopus, "go and catch it!"

Nuoyan held the silver reins and took one last look at Atalanta.

Then he walked towards the Pegasus.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

The Pegasus did not reply...it had no way to reply. It folded its wings, squatted down, and let Nuoyan put the silver-white reins on it.

For the promise, it is willing to give him such an opportunity.

Atalanta watched all this, her eyes still somewhat confused.

Because Atalanta clearly felt the power of Pegasus in the painting, she was almost certain that Nuoyan would fall from a silver meteor tonight just as the goddess of fate had predicted.

But at this moment, Atalanta remembered some things, such as the reason why she paid attention to the promise... It was a group of thieves who made an oath to the gods in a funny way, and the content of the oath was a young man who longed to be a hero.

Then she thought of that night, the monster that turned into a giant deer, and what happened that night... At this moment Atalanta suddenly understood something.

For example, why did Actaeon, who had turned into a giant deer that night, come to Nuoyan regardless of everything? Another example is that he was so weak, but so many gods still cast their eyes on him...

"promise."

Finally she spoke again, the young man in front of her reflected in her holy blue eyes.

"Your friends are waiting for you. They are waiting for you to come back."

Nuoyan was stunned for a moment, looking at the beautiful hunter lady in front of him, then smiled and nodded to her, turned around and sat on the Pegasus.

The Pegasus slowly stood up, spread its silver-white wings, and with a slight cry, it stepped into the air and flew towards the stars in the night sky!

Nuoyan held the silver-white reins tightly in his hands, feeling the refreshing night breeze blowing on his body. At this moment, he finally sat on this silver-white meteor and headed for the starry sky at night.

Atalanta, Artemis and others watched this scene, and at the same time, on the cliff, the goddess of wisdom with silver hair and golden eyes also took in this scene.

Although Clotho, the goddess of fate, could not see it, she also knew that Promise had already sat on the silver meteor.

The atmosphere between the two was somewhat silent. Ever since Athena had quietly stated that fact, Clotho, the goddess of fate, had not spoken a word.

Until now,

“It really fits.”

Looking at the young man sitting on the handsome and elegant Pegasus, Athena laughed again and said, "Because of Themis, I can't go to see the craftsman god Hephaestus in a short time, so when I was looking for something suitable for him on the mainland, I fell in love with it at first sight... It's a pity that you can't see it, Clotho."

Pegasus, the Pegasus, is a symbol of art and the guardian of the Muses.

Although Nuoyan doesn't look like a warrior or a hero at all, his natural temperament as a poet and painter, coupled with his clear emerald eyes, makes him even more eye-catching in this era.

When Jason was going down the mountain, he said that if he was willing to keep his promise and did not plan to be a hero, he could just play a piece of music in front of a noble lady and paint a few pictures, and he would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.

In fact, among all Chiron's students, there was only one who could slightly surpass Nuoyan, and that was Tithonus.

Tithonus was a student of Chiron and also a well-known beautiful boy in the world. When Eos, the goddess of dawn in ancient Greek mythology, saw him for the first time, she fell in love with him desperately.

But he was a mortal while Eos, the goddess of the dawn, was immortal. Therefore, Eos repeatedly begged Zeus to make Tithonus immortal as well. After meeting Tithonus, Zeus agreed to Eos's request.

However, because the dawn goddess Eos only prayed for immortality but forgot about aging, she could only watch the strong young man she loved slowly grow old, wither away, and finally turn into a cricket.

Even the ability to speak had disappeared, and the only sound that continued to keep her company was the chirping of crickets.

"Athena..."

Finally, Cloto, who had been silent until now, spoke up. She lowered her head and asked softly, "Even if Nuoyan died like this, you don't care?"

"Don't you know the oath I made with him?" Athena asked with a chuckle.

"So this is the ending you prepared for him?"

"Of course not." Athena shook her head decisively and said, "After all, the tribute he presented to me is something that all gods are amazed by, so as a gift, I will naturally prepare a curtain call for him that will shock the whole world and all the gods!"

Upon hearing this, Clotho's expression did not change much. After all, this is the character of the goddess of wisdom Athena.

"In that case, why do you..."

"Why should I watch him die like this, right?" Athena smiled, and her smile was very gentle.

Looking at the delicate goddess of fate in front of her with her golden eyes, Athena told Clotho the answer in her heart without any hesitation.

"Because in my opinion, he won't die at all."

“Even if all of you think he can’t do it, even if you hold the spindle of fate and see his fate falling into the starry sky tonight, I still believe in him.

And I also know that from tonight on, he will truly leave a mark that belongs only to him among the stars in this era."

"Becoming a dazzling star... No, it should be said that he is likely to become the most dazzling star on this continent!"

Athena, the goddess of wisdom, said this to Clotho, the goddess of fate.

Facing the goddess who controls fate and promises death, Athena seemed to have abandoned her wisdom and gave such an answer.

At this moment, all people and gods felt that the promise would fall under the stars tonight, but only Athena showed absolute trust in the promise!

......

......

Above the clouds in the night,

Nuoyan held the silver reins tightly in his hands.

This is a sacred artifact made by Hephaestus, the god of craftsmen, so as long as Nuoyan grabs it, he will not be thrown off by Pegasus.

The Pegasus that was running towards the starry sky was actually not flying very fast. When it reached the sky, Pegasus even stopped in the sky on purpose.

Spreading its silver-white wings, it presented Nuoyan with a beautiful scene that he had never seen in his life.

Nuoyan lowered his head, and his clear emerald eyes looked down at the continent of the Age of Gods.

At this moment, Nuoyan even understood Icarus a little bit, the man in ancient Greek mythology who made wings and flapped his wings, flying higher and higher until he was finally burned by the sun, but he refused to stop.

Because even at this moment, Nuoyan even wanted to let Pegasus fly directly into the moon!

And just as Nuoyan was immersed in the beautiful scenery before him.

"Chirp—"

Tianma's voice brought him back to his senses.

Nuoyan lowered his head and saw Pegasus tilting his head towards him.

It was looking at Nuoyan, and when Nuoyan looked over, it called softly to him twice again.

"You mean... you could actually take me down there?"

Pegasus nodded slightly.

Nuoyan was slightly stunned, then he laughed, shook his head gently at it, and said: "No, thank you Pegasus, but... I still want to try."

Nuoyan said this while tightly gripping the silver-white reins in his hands.

"Because my friends are waiting for me, and you are actually very beautiful, Pegasus. Since I have the chance to catch you, it would be a pity to give up like this, and...

In this situation, whether I succeed in the end or not, it will surely be recorded in history. I don’t want to give up halfway and become a hero laughed at by the world!"

In fact, Tianma didn't quite understand what Nuoyan said, but looking at Nuoyan's firm expression and feeling his determination, Tianma Pegasus didn't say anything.

Then it flapped its wings gently, took two steps back again, looked down at the Age of Gods continent below, and made a sprinting gesture.

And in the next second, the moment it took a step forward, it turned into the most dazzling silver light of the night among the stars in the night sky and went towards the ground!

At the same time, at the moment when it was running at full speed, even though he was holding the silver-white reins tightly in his hands, Nuoyan felt the taste of death for the first time.

There is no doubt that this moment was the closest Nuoyan had ever been to death!

Because with Nuoyan's body, even if he held the silver-white reins, he could not withstand the full-speed running of Pegasus.

In ancient Greek mythology, only two people have ever done this.

One is that in the original myth, Bellerophon, who captured the Pegasus, got the help of the goddess of wisdom Athena and obtained a special holy ointment from the sun god Helios. That holy ointment could allow him to survive in the sun chariot and keep his body intact while flying towards the sun.

In this way, Pegasus was captured.

The second is naturally the great hero Achilles, who was soaked in the water of the Styx and was invulnerable to swords and spears.

Therefore, the prediction of Clotho, the goddess of fate, was not wrong. At this moment, death truly came before the promise.

Nuoyan almost subconsciously closed his eyes, holding the silver-white reins tightly with both hands. The scene of his own death emerged in his mind, the scene of falling in this silver-white meteor...

At this moment, Nuoyan was scared.

Just like a person who jumps off a building, once he does it, he will almost never muster the courage to jump off a building a second time. Because only those who have experienced that feeling personally know how terrifying it is when death really comes to you.

Nuoyan has always been looking forward to death, so he always feels that when death really comes to him, he will definitely not feel the slightest bit.

But at this moment, Nuoyan knew he was wrong.

Even though he knew very well in his heart that he would not die, it was still the first time that Nuoyan faced death.

But it is normal to be afraid, so there is nothing to be ashamed of. After all, Promisers are also human beings.

At the same time, as he embraced death, Nuoyan's brain suddenly became extremely clear, and many things suddenly emerged in his mind.

He thought about when he first came to this world, how he followed Theseus to the Centaur Sage Chiron, thought about Jason, and thought about the agreement with Actaeon and the others...

So, Nuoyan suddenly found that he seemed to have a lot of things to do.

And even if he died, it seemed like there was no way to put an end to all this.

After all, they will meet again in the future.

By that time, Jason would certainly laugh at him for not keeping his promise, Meleager would still die at the hands of his mother, and teacher Chiron, who died from Hydra's venom, would also place his hopes on the Holy Grail.

And at that time, can I really face them as if nothing had happened?

Nuoyan felt that they were most likely just joking with him and didn't care at all, but he himself... probably found it difficult to get over it.

After all, on the scales of judgment, the goddess of justice Themis personally reached out and gently lifted the side of the scale that represented good.

So thinking of the promise here, he opened his eyes.
