Inside the Goddess Palace, Athena sat on her throne with her eyes closed.
"My Lady, most of the Heroes and Division Commanders are here protecting our land. You don't need to worry," said a muscular woman with short red hair.
She was one of Goddess Athena's Heroes—a powerful warrior at the Tenth Shackle Realm, a genuine Freedom Realm expert.
Her name was Daphne Urses.
"I know… It's just that he's here. I can feel his presence in the air," Athena replied calmly.
"He…?!" Daphne's eyes widened.
"Yes. I've been trying to communicate with the other Gods," Athena nodded.
Daphne turned pale. She understood what this meant. The situation was far worse than she had ever imagined.
With Goddess Athena sitting here, mere mortals stood little chance of taking down the Goddess Palace. There was a reason Athena hadn't moved to clear all the enemies herself.

Souta waved his hand, and several doppelgangers emerged from his shadows.
Swoosh!
