Greece brings evildoers

Chapter 198 The inevitable hatchet ending (3k, total 7k completed)

 “Stop, I have something to say!”

 “Want me to help you remember your last words?”

Athena wiped the shiny tip of her spear, asked with a smile, and slowly approached the target.

Lorne shuddered when he saw the brighter smile on that face.

According to his understanding of this goddess of wisdom, the happier she smiles, the darker her attacks.

Seeing that Athena was about to walk in front of him, Lorne's heart skipped a beat and he spoke hurriedly.

 “Themis! I just met the first goddess of justice!”

 “Oh? Come and listen.”

As soon as these words came out, Athena couldn't help but flash her bright eyes, and she felt a strong interest in her heart. She put down the victory gun in her hand and waved to Lorne at the door.

 For a moment, Lorne had nothing to say.

Feeling that the pressure that enveloped him had dissipated a bit, Lorne looked at the large area of ​​divine light patterns outside the courtyard that were connected like iron barrels. He could only bite the bullet and walked into the courtyard.

"I'm a goddess of battle. Isn't it reasonable to carry a gun with me?" Athena blinked, then threw away the gun of victory and pointed at a little blond child who emerged from it, with an innocent look on her face. And look, Nikki, you know her too, what’s all the fuss about?”

"Well, there is pity, helplessness, and a little guilt..." Athena gave a rough description through memories, and then concluded, "Probably, it's like the emotion of elders caring for younger ones."

“Well, that makes sense. No wonder I always feel that there’s something wrong with the way Astraya looks at me sometimes…”

After Metis, the first goddess of wisdom, was swallowed by Zeus, the original goddess of justice was disgusted with this, so she established the law of marriage, restricted Zeus's authority, and left Olympus angrily.

Lorne asked subconsciously: "What's wrong?"

 The evidence is sufficient and the argument is detailed.

 As the daughter of Metis, Athena's appearance in front of Themis will inevitably remind the goddess of justice of some sad past events and reveal her true emotions.

 “So, you came to me this time?”

Lorne made up his mind, and after considering the words several times in his mind, he recounted his relevant discoveries and speculations about Astraea.

Lorne thought for a moment and figured out where Themis's complicated mood came from.

 Combined with the background of the two people jointly building the new order of Olympus in the Titan War, Metis and Themis are likely to be close old acquaintances.

"What you mean is that Themis used some kind of secret technique that you don't know about to project and host her consciousness in the body of her disciple Astraea. The two consciousnesses can actively switch when needed. Deal with different situations.”

Looking at Athena sitting at the table leisurely drinking honey water with an expression on her face, Lorne suddenly woke up.

"Then you squatted in my house with a gun?!" Lorne couldn't help but raise his voice, with a dark look on his face.

“Yes, this is the only way to explain their extremely different behavioral logic.”

 Maybe even a close friend.

Athena listened carefully to the analysis on the other side, her bright eyes thoughtful.

There was no other way. In order to ensure that he would not be stabbed into pieces by Athena who was caught raping, he had no choice but to sell the original goddess of justice in advance.

 “Just chat...” Athena replied with a smile.

But seeing the teasing in Athena's bright eyes that could barely be hidden, no matter how stupid Lorne was, he knew that he had been tricked by the sinister goddess in front of him again.

It's true that a hatchet won't hurt you, just blowing off steam along the way.

Having figured out the key, Lorne couldn't help but look resentful and complained with a dark face.

"My lady goddess, I have worked so hard to find helpers for you to strengthen the Academy of Athens and compile laws to educate the Athenians. It's okay if you are not grateful. But you are squatting on me in the yard with a gun. This is too much!"

"How could it be? I came here specially to give you a gift."

Athena smiled slightly, raised her hand to hold it, and a gorgeous gold cup with intricate incantations engraved on its entire body fell into the palm of the goddess of wisdom.

 Seeing the dazzling light and the obscure meaning in it, Lorne couldn't help but feel excited.

 “The Holy Grail is finished?!”

“Although I know you have your own plans, you have spent so much time and effort just to cast a wine vessel..."

Athena shook her head and threw the golden cup casually, with a hint of helplessness in her words.

 In an era of strife and turmoil, using rare materials and a lot of time to cast a wine vessel as one's own holy object is obviously contrary to the traditional concept of the gods to do everything possible to enhance strength.

Even the goddess of wisdom, who is known for her wisdom, cannot fully understand Lorne's choice.

 Facing this doubt, Lorne smiled and said nothing, but patiently integrated his divinity into the Holy Grail in his hand.

Seeing that there was no result from the question, Athena rolled her eyes at Lorne, casually reached into the moving magic array, and threw a square silver metal box towards the opposite side with a soft hum.

"Fortunately, I prepared something else for you." Hearing the crisp impact, Lorne immediately put away the Holy Grail and curiously poked at the silver metal box on the ground that was engraved with a star pattern and a flame pattern. .

"Holy Cloths? Silver ones? You didn't throw some unused ones to me, did you?"

As soon as the fingertips touched the surface of the silver metal box, the entire module instantly split into hundreds of fine parts, automatically flying to Lorne's body and merging with them.

As the silver-white holy cloth was completely constructed on his body, Lorne felt a majestic and ancient divinity pouring into his body, pouring into the sixth space of the golden roulette, vaguely outlining a The face of the phantom of flame suddenly changed slightly.

"This is…"

 “The altar seat, Aunt Hestia and I prepared it especially for you.”

Athena rolled her eyes at a certain guy and answered proudly.

 Hearing the true name of the holy robe on his body, Lorne suddenly realized.

In ancient Greek mythology, the Temple of Heaven is an altar in heaven where the holy fire is always lit.

Legend has it that after the Battle of the Titans, the Olympus side set up an altar in the sky to commemorate this hard-won victory and show the eternal glory of Olympus like a flame, and enshrined the holy fire in it. .

 The person who first lit and guarded this flame was Hestia, the goddess of fire.

Hence, it has extraordinary significance. It is the beginning of the glory of Olympus and has the hidden meaning of commanding the stars.

Similarly, among the eighty-eight sets of holy garments designed by him and Athena, the altar base is also one of the few functional holy garments.

Not only does the mirror on the chest, like a breastplate, store the holy fire that has been burning since the age of mythology, but this holy garment has also been granted special powers by Athena, which can deprive any Saint of the right to use the holy garment. .

In other words, the altar seat is actually the future leader and commander of the entire Saint Seiya Legion. In a sense, the goddess's agent will protect the sacred fire drawn from the Olympus Altar to the death and make it last forever. Immortal.

 “You don’t want your life, you dare to even touch that thing!”

Lorne looked at Athena in front of him in astonishment, raised his hand and pressed the mirror on his chest, feeling the flame that beat and burned at the same frequency as his heart, and suddenly felt a little hot.

 The original holy fire, the eternal glory of Olympus.

 Give civilization to barbarism, light to darkness, and sublimity to ordinary people.

The reason why the golden humans were able to emerge from ignorance at an astonishing speed and establish prosperity second only to the gods was not only guided by the prophet Prometheus, but also related to the sacred fire that Prometheus stole from the heavens. .

However, the ending is also very tragic.

The golden humans were annihilated along with their civilization under the wrath of God. Even Prometheus is still hanging on the Caucasus Mountains, waiting to dry.

 With such a tragic lesson learned from the past, how could Lorne not feel terrified in his heart.

However, Athena opened her mouth to comfort her calmly, as if she had everything under control.

"Don't worry, my aunt has decided to transfer the responsibility of guarding the holy fire and the altar to you, so from now on, this will be your normal job. As the upright patron saint of the altar, it is normal to be a little bit like the holy fire. No one will doubt it. On you."

 “What if?”

Lorne looked at the sworn Athena suspiciously, always feeling that there seemed to be something else hidden under those bright eyes.

 “There is no such thing as a contingency.”

Athena once again solemnly promised, with a determined and bright smile on her face.

"Because, I will take action and personally teach you how to control and hide this power."

"teach?"

Lorne murmured subconsciously, and then saw Athena waving her hand, holding the spear of victory transformed by Niki, and polishing the tip of the spear slowly.

grass!

In an instant, as if an electric current coursed through his brain, Lorne suddenly woke up and shuddered. Then he turned around and ran away without hesitation.

 He knew that this petty woman had no intention of letting him go tonight!

As the victory spear hit the ground, the surrounding space began to spin, turning into a huge closed labyrinth, pulling the speedy [Goat] back into the base.

 “There’s no class yet, why are you running?”

The gentle voice behind her had no trace of fireworks. Athena held a shield in her left hand and a gun in her right hand, approaching with a smile.

Lorne, who was blocked in the corner, looked at the extremely bright smile on that face and felt like crying.

 He knew that after tonight’s severe beating, he would definitely not be able to escape.

 In this case, there is nothing to say.

 How amazing is the Lord God? I’m not a vegetarian either!

Lorne let out a roar of grief and anger, activated the power in his body with all his strength, and rushed forward with gritted teeth.
