The Greece Antagonist

Chapter 177 The Day the Goddess Suffers

Several days later, on the lush deserted island.

The rosy twilight bathed the island, and the sea breeze brushed gently.

In the sleeping chamber, Thetis let out a soft murmur, awakening from her slumber, stretching her limbs within the confines of a giant clamshell.

The stiffness of her divine power and the weakness of her body jolted her to the realization of her predicament, prompting her to sit up and open her eyes to assess herself and her surroundings.

Thankfully, nothing was amiss.

Her neatly dressed attire, the familiar furnishings of the room, and the lack of any trace of an outsider's presence, allowed the Ocean Goddess to breathe a sigh of relief. Her tense body relaxed against the clamshell, and a trace of fondness grew inside her for a certain figure who annoyed yet amused her.

That little rascal, though flippant in his ways, at least had some integrity, truly not taking advantage of one in a vulnerable state.

It wasn't in vain that she had taken the risk to save him.

"Awake? Would you like to come out and eat something?"

Just as Thetis was lost in thought, a gentle inquiry drifted in from outside the hall.

The Ocean Goddess looked up at the wall and door where several Hermes Script symbols formed eye shapes, giving her a feeling of being subtly spied upon. Her face stiffened, and she instinctively pulled her slightly low neckline higher, criticizing inwardly.

Alright, there is a line, but not by much...

On the open ground before the great hall, Luo En, hearing the door being pulled open, looked up and saw the graceful figure approaching him. He reached for a rabbit, grilled to a golden crisp on the fire, and smiled as he offered it to her.

"Here, I just made this; try it."

Thetis pursed her lips, sat down after bending her knees, and accepted the other's gesture of goodwill, placing it in her mouth ready to make a symbolic taste.

However, as the savory strands of meat touched her palate, the Ocean Goddess widened her mouth and decisively picked up the pace of her eating.

Not bad, worthy of being a Lesser Deity under the Goddess of the Hearth, Hestia.

Moreover, having slept for so many days, she was truly hungry.

"To prevent any accidents, I left a few protective spells inside your sleeping chamber, my apologies for the intrusion."

"Hmm," Thetis nodded slightly, neither approving nor disapproving.

"Seeing you awake safely puts my mind at ease. I must also thank you for your assistance earlier."

"No need for thanks, helping you was also helping myself," Thetis responded after swallowing a piece of the rabbit meat, looking up at Luo En in front of the fire with a languid expression.

"If you and the others could just visit my father's and sister's homes less often in the future, I would be extremely grateful."

Hearing this remark tinged with a hint of grievance, Luo En couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed. Stay tuned with empire

It seems the wool he had sheared before was a bit too much; the Queen of the Sea and the old man of the sea probably complained quite a bit in Thetis's ear.

The tempestuous roars echoed louder than the last as a burly figure holding the Golden Sword stood at the center of the blood-colored storm, furiously slashing at the sea surface.

With each rune on the sword's body shimmering and shifting, ribbons of blood-colored light fell sharply like Sharp Swords, the surging Magic Power creating rainbow-like streams of light upon contact with the air.

It was breathtakingly beautiful, yet extremely dangerous!

The surrounding seawater boiled over, and the islands in its path began collapsing one after the other.

The intense tremors also reached the feet of the two individuals.

— Sword of the War God!

Seeing this scene, Thetis's face changed dramatically.

— It's Ares!

Why would he cause trouble in the Sea of Okeanos?

Suddenly, the Ocean Goddess seemed to recall something, abruptly standing up and intently staring at a particular figure opposite her.

"What have you done?"

"What? Isn't he looking for you?"

Luo En blinked, pretending to be clueless and innocent, hoping to bluff his way through.

"One can disguise their appearance, one can mislead with false origins..."

Clearly, as a sage among the Ocean Nymphs, Thetis was not as easily deceived as Hestia.

"You seem to possess some sort of blessing from the ocean, and your injuries, were they caused by the Divinity of war?"

The Ocean Goddess, recalling the scene from their first encounter and looking at the wildly raging Warrior King in the heart of the blood-colored storm, trembled slightly in her voice.

"So, what exactly have you done to him?"

"Uh, we had a small... altercation," Luo En reluctantly admitted when he saw he couldn't keep the truth hidden any longer.

"And then?"

"I accidentally killed his incarnation..."

Upon hearing this, Thetis felt darkness before her eyes and nearly fainted.

Disaster!

Why did I, on a whim, pick up this calamity and bring it home?

In this moment, the Ocean Goddess realized she'd inadvertently gotten herself entangled in a massive problem and, looking at the culprit before her, her guts twisted with regret.
