The Greece Antagonist

Hestia, who was standing by, couldn't help but speak up for her great-niece.

"And besides, didn't you reject Poseidon and swear to remain chaste long ago? How could he not know?"

However, Luo En ignored the irritation of the three and instead looked seriously at Athena across from him, asking softly.

"What did His Majesty the King of Gods say?"

"Father God scolded me for not having the right to injure my uncle, that even if I disagree, I shouldn't treat an elder like that..."

As Athena spoke, it seemed as if two flames of anger danced in her bright eyes.

"And then?" Luo En continued to press.

"Of course, he went off to find his next lover," Athena replied with a cold, mocking snort.

Clearly, this was both an expected outcome and a routine typical of Father God.

After hearing Athena's response, Luo En sighed, propped his arms on the table, massaged his throbbing temples, and murmured softly.

"This is troublesome..."

"..."

Athena pursed her lips, her face also bearing a shadow of gloom.

Seeing the dismal expression on both of their faces, Hestia, who was nearby, was quite puzzled.

"Hey, wait a minute, didn't we all win? Didn't we give that Poseidon a good thrashing? Why do you both look as if we've lost?"

The external brain at the table looked up, glancing at his own symbiont who was acting normally, and asked softly.

"And then what? Poseidon uses the insult as an excuse, gathers the forces of the sea gods and Atlantis, and simply flattens Crete Island?"

"Won't Zeus care?"

"Hasn't His Majesty the King of Gods already cared? It's our fault in the first place, for being disrespectful to an elder and for destroying his foundation, so isn't retaliation justified?"

"That's not right," Hestia instinctively argued back, her eyes filled with deeper confusion and dissatisfaction. "Shouldn't Poseidon be reprimanded? I clearly saw it was him who tried to behave improperly first!"

Facing Hestia's questioning, Luo En spoke calmly.

"It doesn't matter what you think; the key is how His Majesty the King of Gods sees it."

"Even so, shouldn't there be a clear distinction between right and wrong? Even I can see that it is clearly Poseidon's fault!"

"Children distinguish between right and wrong, adults care more about pros and cons!"

A soft murmur put an end to the subject, and Hestia wanted to open her mouth to defend her simple concept of justice that she had held for millions of years.

However, her lips parted for a long time, and in the end, she couldn't utter a single word of rebuttal. Instead, she turned to her own Lesser Deity and asked a question from the bottom of her heart.

"Can black really become white?"

"Yes!"

Luo En nodded faintly, answering with certainty.

In his original world, deer could be turned into horses, mice into ducks, and of course, black could become white...

... as long as the person in power silences all opposing voices.

Finally, after getting this response, Hestia's flicker of hope crumbled completely. She just hung her head and muttered dejectedly.

"But, that's not right..."

"That's why we are trying to build a world that can distinguish right from wrong, truth from deceit," Luo En said.

Hestia's heart trembled, and she looked up at the smiling, warm face in front of her. The darkness that had clouded her vision began to wash away.

Yes! Even if the mighty can turn black into white for a moment, they cannot completely twist the truth and justice.

Justice cannot be domesticated or killed because the truth always exists!

Hestia couldn't help but think of her aunt Themis, the Goddess of Justice, who had parted ways with Olympus ever since the first queen, Metis, was swallowed by Zeus.

Meanwhile, Athena also glanced at Luo En, her gloomy expression gradually being replaced by a trace of appreciation.

She was starting to like this kid more and more.

Because what he spoke of was exactly what she had been trying to do.

—Tsk, shouldn't be allowed...

Athena cast a sidelong glance at Hestia, who was courting her favor, and her mood, which had just improved slightly, became somewhat depressed again.

After briefly soothing the Chief Goddess, Luo En looked at the empty seats on both sides and opened his mouth to ask again.

"By the way, where are Apollo and Artemis? Aren't they back with you?"

At this question, Athena's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

"The Goddess Leto is unwell in body and mind; they went to Kos Island to visit their mother," she said.

"Who claimed that?"

"Apollo! On the second day at Olympus, he took a letter from the Goddess Leto and took Artemis away with him."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Luo En did not speak, and his expression turned unsightly as well.

Nearly Immortal Deities getting sick so easily? And body and mind unwell? Nonsense.

Besides, this illness comes neither early nor late, but just at this time? Too coincidental, isn't it?

It's likely that, seeing the way the wind was blowing, Apollo took the opportunity to whisk Artemis away under the guise of their mother Leto's name!

This two-faced guy really could only play when the going was easy; the moment trouble struck, he couldn't be relied upon!

Luo En couldn't help but curse his unreliable brother-in-law, and his frustrated gaze turned to Athena, who was scowling.

Now he finally understood why the Goddess of Wisdom was so furious upon her return.

It was because Apollo had stabbed her in the back.

"I can help!" Hestia raised her hand high, choosing to firmly stand by Athena's side, her eyes sparkling with determination.

If it was possible to establish a world where black and white, right and wrong are clearly defined, where everyone could live in peace and happiness, she was willing to give it a try.

—Even if it meant breaking ties with her siblings from before.
