The Greece Antagonist

"The reason is simple, Ares is Hera\'s dearest younger son, the mighty god of war. If he were to possess the authority of victory, along with his mother\'s indulgence, it\'s hard to guarantee he wouldn\'t repeat the old story of the Divine King\'s family. Kronos, as well as Zeus himself, both ascended to power in this way. Therefore, the divine authority of war must be divided."

Athena is different, though. She\'s alone, without a family. Even if she\'s powerful, she can\'t garner the support of most of the chief gods of Olympus. At the very least, she definitely can\'t get past Hera and Ares,"

And in an environment surrounded by formidable enemies, she is destined to obediently rely on Zeus and become a tool for this Father God to divide Olympus."

If you don\'t believe it, think about it yourself. If Zeus truly cherished this daughter and couldn\'t bear to see Athena suffer the slightest grievance, why wouldn\'t he release her mother Metis? And why did he swallow the pregnant Goddess of Wisdom directly into his stomach?"

Luo En glanced at Hestia, whose face was turning pale, as he further tore apart the seemingly glorious facade of Olympus to reveal the dirty flesh beneath.

"Likewise, the conflict between the craftsman god and mother Hera is also no coincidence."

If that so-called good father really cared about his son and peace in Olympus, he should have acted to stop Hera from abandoning Hephaestus before it happened, not after the craftsman god became lame and his heart filled with resentment towards Hera. Only then did he command Hermes to bring him back to Olympus and falsely preside over the mother-son reconciliation, to showcase his own fairness and magnanimity, even going as far as to have Aphrodite, who was entangled with Ares, married to Hephaestus."

Look, how happily those three of the mother-son trio are fighting now. Their brains are almost spilling out, basically cutting off the possibility of uniting."

The sarcasm in his voice was particularly grating. Hestia, who had always believed there was still a semblance of warmth in her family, recognized the scenes concerning the queen mother and her children on Olympus, turning an even uglier shade as she turned her head away.

"You don\'t want to listen? No problem, there\'s more!"

Luo En did a reversal, smiling coldly.

"There\'s also the matter between the nurturing goddess Leto and Hera, Apollo and Artemis were almost stillborn, they naturally oppose Ares;"

"The agriculture goddess Demeter\'s daughter was abducted by Hades and she herself was defiled by Poseidon, thus harboring resentment towards the God of the Sea and the god of Hades;"

"The Divine Envoy Hermes is Zeus\' eyes and ears, and with a grandfather who\'s a Titan traitor serving his sentence, of course, he must cling tightly to this \'good father\';"

"Plus you, Artemis, Athena has sworn to remain chaste, severing further the possibility of marital alliances..."

"So, look, all the main gods of Olympus have their own clear antagonists, all busy with internal strife. Who then, can pose a threat to the position of Zeus as the Divine King?"

"If this is love..."

"Heh, I\'m afraid not only Athena but also Apollo, Artemis, Ares, and Hephaestus, every one of them, would have to \'thank\' this \'good father god\'!"

Listening to this analysis, word by word, and seeing the bloody truth, Hestia, who always believed there was still some warmth in the family, turned a bit pale, her tightly clenched teeth leaving a clear blood mark on her cherry lips.

After a long silence, the despondent Goddess of the Hearth spoke dryly.

"Then, does Athena know?"

"Of course she knows!"

Luo En nodded lightly, his expression remaining unflustered.

"But what choice does she have?"

"..."

The Goddess of the Hearth, the guardian of domestic tranquility, looked up at Mount Olympus bathed in starlight with a dim and vacant gaze, murmuring softly.

"He wasn\'t like this before..."

"Don\'t make excuses for him. You just didn\'t see him clearly."

Luo En ruthlessly tore away the last bit of warmth in the Divine King\'s family, his gaze deep and penetrating.

"Wake up. From Uranus to Kronos, then from Kronos to Zeus... every Divine King is this way."

"And the reason why Zeus became the ultimate victor is not because of fairness and sternness or his warm and generous nature."

"On the contrary, he is the most forbearing, the smartest, the most ruthless, and the coldest of all the Divine Kings!"

In the echoing cold sneer, Luo En\'s eyes, which had long seen the true nature of the Titan bloodline, were filled with endless scorn and coldness, speaking deliberately.

"He never loved anyone from beginning to end. He only loves himself!"

The lingering sound gradually faded to silence. The goddess who guarded domestic tranquility stared blankly at Mount Olympus bathed in the cold starlight, unconsciously wrapping her arms around her chest and tightening her body as if feeling an endless chill from the prolonged dark night.

It seemed that the cruel truth had hit Hestia hard.

For days on end, the Goddess of the Hearth stared blankly at the perpetually burning hearth, her thoughts unknown.

Luo En intended to dissuade her but ultimately didn\'t interfere with Hestia\'s reflection.

Some things are beyond persuasion and need to be resolved personally.

And indeed, sea monsters and beasts were steadily heading to Crete Island, regrouping nearby.

In just two days, not only had their number surpassed that of the first wave by twice, but there had also been frequent sightings of Divine Blood clans among them.

Likewise, the cities of Crete, under King Minos\' command, began frantically relocating their populations and constructing seaside defenses, preparing for the inevitable war.
