Athena hastily put down the twelve-sided die in her hand and supported the sweat-drenched Luo En to his seat, with a gathering gloom on her face, "It seems this object has already fused with you, and there's no way to forcibly remove it."

Luo En nodded, a vague guess forming in his heart.

He was, after all, a variable outside of destiny, not accommodated by this world. Yet it was precisely because this twelve-sided die, embodying [possibility], resided within him that his existence was sustained.

If it were forcibly stripped away, he feared he would meet his demise.

"Forced separation is not possible; we have to try another method." Athena pondered for a moment before providing an answer, "If you can become the Chief God and your soul reaches the level of [immortality], perhaps you won't be restricted by this object, and may even be able to take control of this divinity for yourself."

"Hecate won't give me that opportunity," Luo En shook his head, feeling quite helpless, "As soon as I complete the collection of the twelve divinities and steal some of the fate of Olympus for my ascension to Chief God, Hecate will definitely make her move against me."

"What about taking a different path?"

"I've tried, but the Medicine God's elixir of immortality is just an idea, and who knows how long it would take to complete. Given the current speed of collecting divinity, I fear I would reach maturity far too soon to wait."

Luo En sighed, frustrated by his less than optimistic situation.

Although he tried hard to avoid the task of collecting divinity, both the inevitable thread of fate and the occasional possibility were unintentionally pushing him forward.

It was like his encounter with Hera—absurdly throwing open the doors to the absurd, the very epitome of absurdity.

So, he suspected that even if he intentionally avoided it, he would eventually interact with Zeus and Hephaestus due to some event.

As strategies were eliminated one by one, Athena's eyes narrowed slightly, her face reflecting a faint chill.

"Then, let's just work out a way to get rid of that woman?"

If the problem can't be solved, getting rid of the person causing the problem is also an approach.

Luo En, noticing Athena's decidedly ill-intentioned expression, softened his gaze but asked bluntly.

"Can you win against her?"

"Haven't tried, can't say."

Reminded by Athena, Luo En also thought of other doubts and muttered quietly,

"Moreover, our infiltration seemed too easy, as if Hecate isn't worried at all about someone breaking into the dream world and uncovering her secrets."

"Is it possible that her trump card isn't there at all?"

"If it's not there once, that's one thing, but every time?"

"Can it move?"

Move?

In a moment of revelation, they heard that word, their minds flashed, they looked at each other, and in unison, they spoke the answer,

"Hecate!"

Right, the core that controls the Dream of Truth was neither in the Elysian Fields nor within the Dream itself, but carried by Hecate.

To be precise, it was likely Hecate herself!

As the answer escaped their lips, Luo En experienced a moment of clarity.

"Possibility! The continuation of dreams is a form of possibility! Only with Hecate herself as the core could she sustain such an immense and orderly Dream of Truth!"

"[Night] is the mother of dreams, and [The Path] will guide the direction of the dream, letting the sleepers know when to awaken!"

Athena, unraveling the mystery alongside Luo En, also recited the related records.

With a torrent of familiarity surging within them, they exchanged smiles, as if transported back to their initial encounter at the little stall in front of Knossos City.

It was a chance meeting about solving riddles and the beginning of their association.

After that, it was all about mutual support and doing everything possible for the survival of Crete Island.

But as they arrived in Athens, the external pressures they used to face together dissipated, and with differing thoughts of their own, their once close relationship had become somewhat distant due to the erosion of time.

Now, their candidness with each other had broken down the barriers that piled up, allowing them to recapture the sense of collaboration they had shared in the past.
