Myth: The Spiritual Dominator

Time is running out, so the Centaurs naturally dare not waste it.

So while things had just happened, Chiron headed straight for the Aigario Mountains.

Although he had no previous connection with the Athenian royal family, Chiron had met Hermes several times.

Over the years, many people have heard of him.

So when he arrived at the fortress built on the mountains, it didn't take long before he successfully met Andrea, who was about to go to bed.

Without any unnecessary courtesy, after stating his identity, Chiron told everyone what had happened today and then stated his demands.

Achilles, who was willing to support Athens, was unfortunately captured when fighting with the god of war, and now he hopes to get guidance from the goddess of wisdom.

"You mean... Achilles?"

Andrea was unable to hide her surprise despite her tiredness as she looked at the tall centaur who suddenly came to visit her. She really didn't expect to hear this name again.

Ryan had just told her about this strange demigod during the day, but he didn't expect to receive news about him again in the evening.

He faced the gods head-on, possessing unrivaled courage and an indestructible body.

It is a good thing that such a hero is willing to come to Egalion from Silvermoon City and support Athens for "justice".

Moreover, even if the Centaur's words concealed something, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. As long as Achilles can be rescued, I think I can also make him an ally.

Therefore, if possible, Andrea is actually willing to lend a hand.

But after thinking for a moment, she finally shook her head slowly, facing Chiron's gaze.

"Respected sage, I once heard of your name when I was a child."

"You are a wise and kind elder who has helped many unrelated people out of trouble."

"So personally, I'd love to help you rescue your students. But unfortunately, I'm afraid I can't tell the goddess about your difficulties."

"Because in fact, from the beginning of the war to today, the goddess has never sent down any oracle."

"Although the granting of divine arts has never stopped... Such a short period of no response is not uncommon for the eternal gods, but I think you may not have that much time."

It is very clear at this point, and Chiron himself is also very clear about it.

No one knows when Achilles will attract the attention of the King of Gods, and when Athena will respond.

This road was blocked, so the Centaur had to leave in disappointment.

Andrea did not try to persuade him to stay. After all, she knew how tight the time was for him and she really couldn't help him.

However, just as Chiron reluctantly walked out of the fortress hall, he unexpectedly saw a young man who was about to walk in.

For some reason, at this moment, an inexplicable intuition surged into his heart.

So the Centaur subconsciously bent down slightly, trying to make himself appear less tall.

"Sir, please wait a moment... I have a question that I can't find an answer to."

"I mean, if I want to rescue a blasphemous mortal from the top of Mount Olympus, from the golden palace on the nine clouds, what do you think I should do to succeed?"

Chiron regretted the moment he asked the question.

How could he tell others such a thing? He was really out of his mind.

Even when he came to visit the new king of Athens, he was only seeking help from Athena, not from the new king himself.

If just anyone could solve the problem, then Olympus would seem too incompetent.

"Going to Olympus to rescue people? I haven't thought about that. I don't think any Athenian would think about how to get in and out of the sacred mountain."

The young man shook his head and refused, and made a joke at the same time. Hearing this, Chiron couldn't help but extinguish the last hope in his heart.

Sure enough, he shouldn't have such delusion. Perhaps only Her Highness Hecate could do such a thing... However, the next moment, the young man's subsequent words made the Centaur stunned.

"Although I haven't thought about it, I know that someone else must have made similar plans."

"With his help, entering and leaving the sacred mountain may not be a fantasy. You may even find many helpers. If I remember correctly, he seems to be in Athens as well."

"what?"

Chiron was stunned. He didn't expect such an answer, but the young man in front of him didn't give him the chance to ask more questions.

He just smiled, walked over the tall body of the Centaur, walked into the hall, and closed the heavy door.

"He was called Count Ilos, a wealthy and prestigious nobleman in Athens. We happened to sit next to each other during the great debate held in the Acropolis."

"Personally, I think he will not refuse you. If you really plan to implement that crazy idea, he will definitely be able to give you a lot of help."

······

The sun rises and sets, and in the blink of an eye, the night is over.

The shadow of war had not yet spread to Athens, and the city's streets were bustling with people.

Caravans of all sizes traveled between cities in Panathenaic Athens, injecting vitality into the emerging kingdom.

On the plain between Okropolis and Athens, buildings of all sizes are scattered around.

This was the safest place in the kingdom as it was sandwiched between the Acropolis and Athens.

This is also the most expensive place in the kingdom, and few people can own their own estate here.

However, on this day, Chiron, who had traveled all night using special means, opened the door of the luxurious manor and came to visit the famous count.

Before coming, the Centaur gradually calmed down.

I was still affected by my emotions. In fact, the trip to Athens was unnecessary, let alone asking a mortal such a question.

You know, no matter how close the connection between humans and gods is, it can never be closer than that between gods and gods.

Instead of seeking the new king of Athens to convey the message, why didn't he just ask Artemis to convey it?

The Lord of the Wilderness also had a temple in Okropolis, and the sanctuary was much closer to the Parthenon than it was to the royal palace in Athens.

But the question had already been asked, and although the decision was made under unstable emotions, Chiron finally came.

Maybe it was just in case, or maybe it was some inexplicable intuition, anyway, since he could pay a visit to Artemis on the way, the Centaur decided to come here first and take a look.

So when the glow of dawn shone on the earth, Chiron came to the manor of Count Iros.

However, it was not until he met the earl himself under the guidance of his servants that the Centaur suddenly realized that the earl Iros in front of him seemed a little familiar.

If he remembered correctly, he seemed to be...

"Your Highness Iapetus? Why are you here?"

"..."

Chiron couldn't believe that the 'helper' he came to seek was actually the god of speech who had been away from the world for a long time.

Opposite him, Iapetus was silent.

Why am I here… Do you think this is where I want to be?

If I hadn't accidentally watched that debate and then accidentally "taken the floor" for someone else, how would I be staying in Athens now?

The problem is that it’s not his fault. Before it happened, who could have thought that such a situation would occur?

It was just a small debate, but it eventually led to a war among the gods.

It was just a golden apple that caused the now almost divided Divine Court.

The passerby who helped at that time actually inherited the throne of Athens.

And now she is leading the Athenians all the way westward, blocking the way for the western countries to come eastward.

What can I do in this situation?

If I tell Zeus now that all this is a misunderstanding and hope to continue to live in seclusion on earth and not get involved in the disputes between the gods, I don’t know if there is any possibility of success?

"That's probably impossible."

"Haha, of the three sons, one is supporting the sky, one is filling the sea, and the other is still wanted by the God Court."

"My wife is having an affair with Helios, the former sun god who has embraced the Outer Gods. The one who promised to protect me is Gaia, the Earth Mother who once fought against the gods."

"And for the past few hundred years, I have been living in Athens, and even recently participated in the succession of the Athenian throne..."

With so many buffs added together, no one would believe that Iapetus had not planned this for a long time.

Accidents are possible, but the reason why accidents are accidents is that their probability is too small.

So he must have been secretly dissatisfied with the God-King for a long time, but it was only exposed recently.

And Athena, the goddess of wisdom, is his new target of refuge.

Faced with this situation, Iapetus said there was nothing he could do.

When someone starts to doubt you, everything you do is wrong.

Moreover, vaguely, perhaps because he is a bystander, Iapetus felt that he saw the essence of this war between gods.

Zeus wanted to take this opportunity to clear out the uncontrolled forces in the world and bring everything under his order.

In this case, wouldn't I, the weakest Titan god, be the best target?

Even if these things had not happened, Zeus would probably find an excuse to attack him.

And now that I have an excuse, there is no chance that I can escape.

"So that's why I'm here... I've been keeping an eye out for what's going on ahead."

"It's just that the situation is unlikely to change drastically anytime soon, and I'm not known for my fighting prowess, so I didn't meet the new king of Athens."

He looked calm, and I didn't know if he had finally come to terms with it.

Iapetus did not hide his thoughts, after all, he had heard of the centaur in front of him.

Chiron, the Centaur from Silvermoon City, could never be related to Zeus.

So now that he appeared in front of me, he was probably either instructed by someone or encountered some difficulties, or more likely both.

After all, if it was simply the latter, as an 'ordinary' earl, Chiron shouldn't need his help.

"What about you, guest who came from afar? I have heard of your name, but why are you here?"

"But no matter what it is, I think you should know... As the god of speech, the only thing I can praise is my words."
