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

However, because Nuoyan knew that Athena had the title of Mother of Heroes, and because of the oath, Nuoyan naturally did not think too much about it.

At most, it was just because I hadn't seen Hera for a long time, so I felt a little strange...

"When did it start, um... let me think about it."

What made Nuoyan open his eyes even wider was,

At this moment, Athena actually admitted it quite straightforwardly!

Not only that, she even turned her head to look at Nuoyan, blinked at him, and then looked at Hera, tilting her head and pretending to be thinking.

Finally, he smiled and said, "I think it should be from the very beginning.

Ever since I heard the prophecy of Clotho, the goddess of fate. "

"Prophecy?" Hera frowned slightly when she heard that.

"That's right." Athena nodded and said to Hera with a smile: "Hera, you may not know this yet, but according to the prophecy of Clotho, the goddess of fate, you are not the only god who can be honored by the existence of the promise.

I... am one of them too!"

Athena's words were shocking to Nuoyan and Hera!

Because Nuoyan never expected that when he was about to eat a melon, he didn't expect that the melon not only fell to the ground but also hit his feet before he could even hold it firmly!

Hera never expected that such a secret was hidden in the prophecy of Clotho, the goddess of fate, that day.

At the same time, I never expected that you, Athena, could come to snatch people and do it so confidently!

And at this moment, in a sense, the culprit for this phenomenon is Clotho, the most delicate goddess of the three goddesses of fate.

At this moment, he was sitting in the Temple of Destiny, holding the crystal ball, with a confused look on his face.

In fact, she had been sitting quietly in this temple for several days... to be precise, since the day when Nuoyan caught the falling meteor and Athena helped her see the future.

After she came back, she sat quietly in the Temple of Destiny.

And thinking about the promise that had always brought shame to her...

PS: Sorry, sorry, I planned to take a short rest last night, but I ended up sleeping until the next day.

Today's chapter is 5k words, I'll see if I can get another 5k words for the next chapter. I'll try my best to update words today to make up for it!

Chapter 4 Athena: Hera, you can't control it! (k)

Temple of Destiny,

Clotho, the goddess of fate, with white eyes, sat here in silence for several days.

And tonight, she finally spoke her first words.

"He hunted the wild boar."

Cloto lowered his head and whispered in a soft voice: "He finally did it, rewriting his original destiny and defeating me..."

Kloto said this very softly, making it impossible to tell what her mood was.

But after gently holding the crystal ball in his arms, the expression on Clotho's face became a little more complicated... On the night when Nuoyan caught the stars, Athena said something to Clotho.

That is, the one who has been hurting Nuoyan until now is not Athena, but her, the goddess of fate.

And this is actually a fact.

The evidence is the crystal ball that Cloto has been holding in his arms, which contains the thread of promise and destiny.

It is not a protection, but a restraint. With it, Clotho cut off the fate of the promise in this world and prevented the promise from being connected with other destinies.

The crystal ball of fate first appeared after the Pure White Judgment of the goddess of justice Themis. Queen Hera exchanged a marriage with Hades, the god of the underworld, for those who died because of her curse.

Therefore, from that moment on, the promise had actually entered the sight of the three goddesses of fate, and they all regarded the promise as a trouble.

Because of the special nature of the promise, the fate of everyone involved may change.

As for this unstable existence, the first thing the three goddesses of fate thought of was to erase it, but at that time there were already three goddesses standing behind Nuoyan, Hera, Athena and the goddess of justice Themis, so they had to give up.

Then they prepared to tell Zeus the truth about the matter and let him decide.

But at this moment, Cloto stood up.

At that time, Clotho was really angry because the promise arbitrarily changed the future, which touched the power she controlled, and the prophecy was changed again and again.

That's why she put Nuoyan's fate into the crystal ball, walked out of the temple of fate and came to Nuoyan.

"I just want you, the goddess of fate, to see a better future."

Whenever he thought of Nuoyan's sophistry, Kloto's heart would be stirred a little, but it was not because he was moved, but because he felt funny.

How could she, who quietly watches and weaves the future threads of all living beings, have any emotional fluctuations just because of changes in fate?

Klotho didn't think she would...Once, she did think so.

Until that night, when Athena put the future she had captured into Clotho's eyes, she looked at the boy who had fallen in the meteor even though she had seen him hundreds of times, but at that moment he was flying in the night sky, as dazzling as a star.

After returning to the Temple of Destiny, Clotho has been sitting quietly until now.

She sat there until Nuoyan hunted the Calydonian boar and she had to face her failure... until the bet between her and Nuoyan was over.

Even that night, Clotho, seeing the future from Athena, knew better than anyone that her gamble with her promise had been lost.

"Want to show me... a more beautiful future?"

Kloto whispered again, and at this moment, when everything was truly over, Kloto's body completely relaxed.

Then she seemed to have thought of something and slowly stood up.

Place the crystal ball quietly in the air, then reach out and take one strand of the destiny threads on your head.

That is the thread of destiny of Actaeon, the student of the Centaur sage Chiron.

Kloto grabbed it, then waved his hand gently, letting it intersect with the crystal ball of promise, and watched the extension of destiny.

Then Clotho saw it, saw the ship called the Argo.

Actaeon, who was turned into a giant deer due to the curse, was standing on the boat, but he was smiling happily and no one on the boat discriminated against him. Actaeon raised his wine and drank with his friends.

At the same time, Clotho saw that the thread became longer and longer. Finally, after the Golden Fleece was finished, Actaeon brought glory back to the moon goddess Artemis and spread his story throughout ancient Greece.

So the moment he returned to ancient Greece and got off the boat, he turned back into the handsome hunter.

The moment Actaeon changed back, everyone around him looked at him in shock, and at the same time accepted him again.

Kloto was silent for a while, and then she took down another thread from the sky above the Temple of Destiny woven from the threads of destiny.

That was the thread of Meleager's destiny.

Then Cloto saw the virtuous mother. This time, the mother did not have to choose between her brothers and her children, so she protected the flame all her life and kept it from going out. She lived a happy life.

At the same time, Clotho saw Meleager also board the Argo, where he drank and talked happily with his good brother Actaeon, who was destined to be killed by him...

Kloto looked at all this in a daze, and she found that she actually had an impulse at this moment, which was to throw all the threads of fate above her head into the crystal ball, but fortunately, this desire was suppressed by her divinity in the end.

but......

"Yeah." Cloto said softly, "It's quite interesting."

Having said that, Cloto knelt down again, reached out and grabbed the crystal ball again, then carefully held it in his arms.

And at this moment, she showed a gentle smile that she herself was not aware of.

All of this was actually seen by the other two goddesses of fate who were wearing white robes like Clotho and were hiding quietly in a corner of the temple.

The second sister, Lachesis, has long hair as beautiful as the night, but because she is responsible for the length of the lifeline, she looks very sick and may faint at any time.

The eldest sister Atropos is the oldest goddess of fate. She is meticulous, calm and ruthless. She is responsible for death, the moment that cuts the thread of fate.

Therefore, she is truly like a machine. No matter what or whoever happens to her, she cannot be shaken because she cannot experience any emotions, whether it is pain, sadness, joy or happiness.

Atropos, like this, can only change her original decision under one circumstance, that is...

"Do we need to remind her?" The eldest sister Atropos looked at Lachesis beside her and asked without any emotion.

"What reminder?" Lachesis was slightly stunned and looked at her puzzledly.

"Remind Clotho that we should tell this matter to the great god Zeus, and also..."

As he spoke, Atropos stretched out his hand and pointed at Clotho. Inside the crystal ball, a thread of fate appeared out from nowhere and fell on her... It was the same thread of fate that had fallen on Hera, the Queen of Heaven, Athena, and Themis, the goddess of justice!

"You are so stupid!" Hearing this, Lachesis rolled her eyes at Atropos and said, "If you want Clotho to never talk to you again in this life, just go and tell Zeus, the king of gods. As for the thread of fate... it will be very interesting, so just leave it alone for now and pretend you didn't see it."

After saying this, Lachesis couldn't help but started coughing violently while laughing.

After her sister and the king of gods Zeus weighed the matter for less than 0.1 second, the eldest sister Atropos no longer hesitated and chose her sister!

And at this moment, these things.

Athena and Hera don't know yet.

On the outskirts of Calydon, in the woods not far from where the Calydonian boar died, under the shining moonlight at night, there was Hera, the most honorable queen of all goddesses, and Athena, the most dazzling goddess of wisdom.

The two of them are still facing each other, staring at each other.

This made Nuoyan, who was standing aside, feel very uneasy!

......

......

No, no, what the hell is going on?

Nuoyan looked at the two goddesses in front of him. No matter their status, appearance or even strength, they were probably the pinnacle among all goddesses.

Standing there, shivering.

My name is not Zeus, but Nuoyan, and I am not having an affair. What on earth are you trying to do by acting like you are catching a mistress on the spot?

At this moment, Nuoyan was like a drowning man, desperately trying to grab the last straw, so his eyes naturally fell on the moon goddess Artemis.

Then the promise became even more desperate.

Because at this moment, Artemis even forgot that Athena would punish her later. She stood aside, her eyes twinkling, watching with great interest.

Nuoyan estimated that, let alone giving her a bite of the melon, even if he gave her two highlighters now, she would have to shake them hard twice!

After despair, Nuoyan felt that it didn’t matter whether he was a human or a god.

So he looked at Tianma beside him.

But I found that this Pegasus was really too smart.

He had already run far away, hiding aside with his head down, pretending to be eating grass!

Hmm...wait, maybe I can think more positively.

If I died because of the jealousy between these two, maybe it wouldn't be bad?

At least after my death, this legend will definitely be a hot topic!

In ancient Greek mythology, there was actually such a person named Adonis, who was a demigod.

Legend has it that his exquisite appearance was enough to make everything in the world pale in comparison to him, and he eventually became the favorite of the goddess of beauty Aphrodite.

From the moment Adonis was born, the goddess of beauty Aphrodite came to his side. For him, the goddess of beauty Aphrodite even abandoned everything in Olympus, disguised herself as a huntress, and stayed by his side all the time.

She had advised Adonis many times not to hunt wild beasts like lions and wolves, but the young Adonis did not agree. So while chasing prey, Adonis lost his life and came to the underworld.

It is said that he was killed by a wild boar, which seemed to be the revenge of the moon goddess Artemis on the goddess of beauty, or the jealousy of the god of war Ares.

But after knowing this, the goddess of beauty Aphrodite felt extremely sad, so from that day on, this most beautiful goddess cursed love in the world.

Curse that love will always be filled with suspicion, fear and sorrow!

Later, the goddess of beauty carried the body of Adonis to Olympus, praying to Zeus to resurrect the beautiful boy, but Zeus was helpless.

Because the moment Adonis came to the underworld, Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld, took a liking to him and made him her servant, so she refused to let Adonis return to the human world.

The goddess of beauty Aphrodite shed tears in despair, and those tears fell on Adonis' body, mixed with his blood, fell to the ground and finally turned into the most bright and beautiful red roses.

This finally moved Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld, and she agreed that every year when she returned to the human world from the underworld, she would bring Adonis to the human world and let him meet the goddess of beauty Aphrodite.

But when she was about to return to the underworld, the goddess of beauty Aphrodite had to let Adonis go and let him return to the underworld with Persephone!

In addition, there are many versions of this legend, and most of them are about the Queen of the Underworld and the Goddess of Beauty, because the man was jealous and would not give in to either of them.

Therefore, Adonis was recognized as a handsome man in ancient Greece. Even now, the word Adonis has become a word used to describe an extremely beautiful and attractive young man.
