Gazing at the figure disappearing into the horizon, Athena, who had been rooted to the door, felt an inexplicable shudder of fear, as if sensing something ominous was about to happen.

It was just a trip out, as usual, this cheeky young man was slippery as an eel, always taking advantage and never at a loss, how could anything possibly go wrong?

Well, perhaps I'm just overthinking it.

Athena reassured herself, yet unconsciously her fingers tore a piece of parchment into shreds.

Meanwhile, a white seagull skimmed rapidly over the sea, as if fleeing from some catastrophic beast.

Behind it, a youth with sea-green hair, armored and belted with a bow and arrows, holding a cross-spear, was chasing the seagull relentlessly aboard a majestic black Pegasus.

This was the revelation of fate, and a perfect match bestowed upon him by Father God Zeus.

Once he accomplished this feat and captured that goddess, he too would ascend to become an immortal deity, forever enjoying divine favor atop Mount Olympus.

Seeing the graceful figure starting to pull away, the sea-green haired young hero uncapped his longbow, placed a golden arrow engraved with dense runes onto it, and slowly drew the bowstring full, aiming at the seagull ahead.

"Whoosh!"

When she saw that the three Hundred-Handed Giants, normally lurking in the Primordial Ocean, were for once wandering the outer Sea of Okeanos, the astute Thetis immediately understood the sequence of events.

Clearly, the Father God had noticed some insubordination among the ocean deities and was using her as an example to set a warning, or to forcibly bring them to heel.

After all, she was the strategist of the ocean deities, daughter of Nereus, sister to the Queen of the Sea, with enough stature and renown.

But tragically, whether it was her feeble father, her scheming sister and brother-in-law, even upon witnessing her being driven to a dead-end, no one dared to lend a hand or arouse Zeus's ire.

And she, was destined to be just a sacrificial piece in this game of power.

Feeling the divine blood continuously ebbing away, Thetis looked down at the wound on her shoulder which refused to heal, and her heart sunk.

The arrow was imbued with exceptional divine power; she was likely to lose her strength soon.

The feeling of dizziness in her head grew stronger, and the sounds behind her drew nearer, Thetis, clutching the warm piece of metal in her hand, could no longer hold on and slipped off the dolphin, floating atop the vast ocean.

At that moment, Peleus, who had been pursuing all along, saw the exquisite creature powerless to struggle any further, and a smile of triumph spread across his face as he commanded the Pegasus to dive towards his target.

"Bang!"

However, just as the Pegasus flapped its wings, its head exploded into a mass of gore; the sky-piercing golden red light plunged into the sea, and through a mass of steaming mist, a pair of arms lifted the unconscious Thetis.
