The Greece Antagonist

Chapter 432: Chapter 288: Your Husband is Amazing! (8.1k)_4

But stubbornly, Zeus considered the entire earth his private property, so he did not deliberately develop his own sacred land.

Therefore, apart from Olympus, the deserted Sacred Mountain, he found himself at a loss on how to continue infiltrating the Mortal World with his influence.

It’s all this kid’s fault!

Thinking that he, the King of Olympus, had been shaved down to a mere figurehead by this outflanking move, Zeus’s heart was brimming with humiliation and grief, his gaze toward a certain culprit so fiery it seemed it could shoot flames.

Just wait, sooner or later I will tear you limb from limb and then imprison your soul in Tartarus to suffer eternal torment!

Seemingly sensing that malicious gaze, Luo En turned his head and responded with a radiant smile.

Then, as if something occurred to him, he tapped his forehead and spoke leisurely.

“Oh, right, I almost forgot the third thing, in three days, Thetis and I will hold a grand wedding, and I hope you all will come and show your support.”

Right after that, Luo En looked toward Zeus with a mocking expression on his face.

“Additionally, His Majesty the King of Gods seems to have promised to be my wedding officiant. Make sure not to be late.”

“You…”

Before Zeus could finish his sentence, he was so angry that he saw stars, his face turned purplish-red, and a stream of golden-red blood sprayed uncontrollably from his mouth, splattering the scorched ground.

Having glanced at the wobbly King of Gods, Luo En waved goodbye to the Pantheon of Gods with a smile.

“Well, I have a lot to prepare and cannot offer more company. Everyone, see you in three days.”

As his words fell, a pair of brilliant golden wings unfolded behind him, fluttering gracefully, carrying the Shepherd chosen by the Mortal World back to the land where he once stood.

The long night receded, and dawn arrived.

Countless figures in ruins, cities, temples, and various other places looked up at the first light of the sun, all gazing at the bright morning star falling across the sky.

“What belongs to the gods shall return to the gods, what belongs to mankind shall return to mankind! From this moment forward, this land, this new era, belongs to you!”

The solemn declaration echoed in the ears of all people, the invigorating good news penetrating the hearts of the lambs.

The people, who had been waiting anxiously and fearfully, burst into tears of joy, embracing each other with deafening cheers, sending exalted praises to the Shepherd who had spoken for them.

Yes, the might of the gods supersedes order.

But from the moment you proudly raise the scepter,

from that moment on,

the mightiest deities have no right to command here!

Night fell on War God Mountain.

Inside the Great Temple, the Shepherd who had returned sat in the seat that once belonged to Goddess Athena, leafing through the scrolls in his hands, patiently reviewing them.

There were revisions to poems, reviews of cases, requests from citizens—a sundry and diverse array of content.

Having just finished handling a large stack, Luo En moved his somewhat stiff neck and looked behind him at the mountain of documents still waiting to be reviewed, immediately smiling wryly.

Previously, these tasks were shared amongst Themis, Mnemosyne, and Athena.

But now, Themis, with her shattered divinity, was still sleeping;

Mnemosyne, as a Chief God, was also temporarily banished back to the Sanctuary of Mount Helicon because of the “Order” written by The Three Fates, and to return to War God Mountain in the form of an incarnation or spirit division might still take some time;

Naturally, their share of work fell on Luo En, the initiator of it all.

As for that Goddess Athena, who had carried the main burden…

Luo En stopped his pen and looked up towards the door.

A figure with shoulder-length purple hair, bathed in the pure moonlight, approached. Her exquisite curves hinted at a mature charm, and her golden eyes glinted with amusement.

“How is it, sitting in my seat?”

“With this workload that could kill an ox, what do you think?”

Luo En retorted in a flat tone, then sized up Athena, who had undergone a drastic change in appearance, with an expression of surprise.

“Is this the body you’ve prepared for your incarnation?”

To limit the excessive interventions of deities in the Mortal World, Zeus and all the Chief Gods confined their original forms to sleep in the Celestial Realm or their respective Holy Lands. They could only walk the earth in the form of spirit divisions or incarnations.

A spirit division is part of their divinity and Divine Power coalesced into an Incarnation, acting with the same appearance and abilities as the original form;

An Incarnation, however, involves preparing a physical vessel in advance and infusing part of their will and divinity into it, thereby obtaining another backup body.

Each method has its advantages and disadvantages.

The former is convenient for immediate use and easy to manage but not very stable;

The latter ensures long-term activity but is limited by the vulnerabilities of a living body, with fatigue, pain, and battle damage all being felt in real-time by the spirit.

Now, Athena’s original form had entered into slumber within the Sanctuary, and what she used was the method of Incarnation.

At this moment, Athena spread her arms and did a twirl, then asked,

“What do you think? My new body?”

Luo En’s gaze swept over her flowing purple hair, features that blended elegance with allure, and her delicately fair collarbones… then continued downward, eventually settling on a broad, white scar across Athena’s chest, and after lingering there for a while, he expressed his heartfelt admiration.

“It’s incredible!”

Athena was very pleased with Luo En’s reaction, instinctively straightening her waist even more, those nearly bursting thunderous curves on her chest heaving, almost dizzying Luo En.

“Cough cough, speaking of which, this body differs greatly from your original appearance.”
