"Great job, AI-chan is very satisfied!"
Right after Athena left, a small purple figure appeared behind Aslan out of nowhere.
It was Algol hugging Aslan from behind.
"You have to handle ugly women like Athena this way."
Aslan turned his face away awkwardly, looking at her mischievous expression, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"Beauty treatment is non-negotiable; it hasn't even been a week."
Though Algol could come out and strongly supported it, and somehow had already given him her Another Cosmology.
But this didn't mean he had to reward Algol.
Aslan had spent a considerable cost to help Algol with one beauty treatment.
"You blockhead, does AI-chan only seek you for beauty treatments?"
Algol's eyebrows furrowed slightly, baring her small fangs as if very angry, sticking closely to Aslan's face, seemingly pondering how to bite and teach him a harsh lesson.
"Though there's a bit of that thought..."
Algol twiddled her fingers softly; after all, the beauty treatment effect Aslan used with Spark was too good.
It made her feel that the cosmetics she made, as well as the Beauty Pills and Divine Artifacts she used before, were what? Not even one-hundredth comparable to Aslan's.
If Aslan had issues in the future or mingled with ugly women like Athena, how could she continue her beauty treatments?
"But AI-chan came out to remind you that the ugly woman Athena has no good intentions at all."
Algol said with strong reasoning, as if she had found a reason for coming out. She didn't come for beauty treatments with Aslan.
She specifically came out to warn Aslan to be careful of that ugly woman Athena.
Of course, if she could get a reward of one beauty treatment session from Aslan for it, that would be even better.
"Don't be fooled by Athena's surface politeness."
"AI-chan tells you, that woman Athena, besides her ugly appearance, has a dirty heart too. Not at all as good as AI-chan who's beautiful and kind-hearted."
"Athena must be possessed by something; every day her suspicion illness and Persecutory Delusion are severe..."
Algol was toyed with like that. Back then, Athena apologized to her with this excuse and gave her the best divine wine.
She didn't really want to totally enemy Athena, but who knew Athena tricked the divine wine she gave?
Then Algol fell into Athena's hands.
For Algol, the divine wine Athena gave was peace, but who knew Athena was preparing for all-out war with her?
However, Algol also understood Athena.
Who told the previous generation Greek Goddess of Wisdom, Metis, to be the best lesson?
As the Greek Goddess of Wisdom, she once helped Zeus build and solidify the Greek Pantheon's Another Cosmology, Divine Genealogy, which at once affirmed the Greek Pantheon and Zeus's position.
The Divine Genealogy Another Cosmology was a very rare deduction and observation type. Its function was to perfectly plan Spirit Status paths from Seven-Digit to One-Digit.
Even if Divine Genealogy was fully opened, it could summon great Gods not yet born in Little Garden but recorded in Greek mythology.
But Metis, bestowed the name of wisdom and developed an Another Cosmology on the level of Divine Genealogy, was ultimately swallowed by Zeus, and two-thirds of her wisdom was taken by Zeus.
Athena, inheriting one-third of the wisdom and serving as the current Goddess of Wisdom, would be abnormal if she didn't have suspicion illness and Persecutory Delusion.
Even for Algol, what Zeus did was indeed dishonest, and Zeus's child Athena wasn't much better.
"There's such a hidden secret?"
Aslan was somewhat surprised. He didn't expect Zeus swallowing Metis to be exactly as written in mythology.
He thought the Greek Pantheon's past in Little Garden differed from mythology.
"But Athena seems to have been designated as the Fourth Generation Greek King of Gods..."
Aslan paused for a moment and said slowly. From Algol's perspective, Zeus absolutely wouldn't let Athena become the Fourth Generation King of Gods.
How many years behind was Algol's information?
But thinking about it, Algol being able to leave the Cain identity was already extraordinary.
But even Cain was factually a side character in the Christian Pantheon.
Her information circulation wasn't even as good as Canaria's.
Though Aslan's information also came from Canaria.
But if Canaria knew it, it meant this was no longer absolutely secret information.
Smart people could see that Athena had begun taking over the Greek Pantheon.
How many years had Zeus not appeared? Appearing as the Greek King of Gods.
Not on the front page of some Shunsuisha company newspaper.
"....Ehh~~!"
Algol was a bit confused and opened her small mouth. She really didn't know this information.
The last time she awoke from the seal, the Dystopia War hadn't even started.
She had suspected her information was outdated, but not to this extent?
"What's with Zeus and Athena?" Algol couldn't help but mutter.
"Previously, Athena was still contacting me, inviting me to join against Zeus?" Algol scratched her face.
"Forget it, Gods and Buddhas in Little Garden are all the same, each dirty and would only dirty AI-chan's eyes."
Algol thought for a long time, finally chose to stop thinking, and started acting indifferent.
Her information was too outdated; even if she wanted to do something, there was no way.
Just like back then, she never expected a monster like Siddhartha Gautama to appear in Buddhism, taking the nearly impossible karma path in Little Garden.
Originally just a mortal human struggling to Three-Digit, what's the issue, not like those Eastern dragon creatures disguising as humans.
Then Algol was beaten to pieces by the Vajra Scepter.
After that, Algol acted indifferent; after all, too many monsters and Old Geezers on this Little Garden stage.
Playing with them was too tiring. Better to be alone and maintain her own beauty.
She wasn't like the Halloween Queen and Shiroyasha who had unique advantages, having that much capital to waste, especially Shiroyasha.
Anyway, after that battle, everything she could lose was lost.
The bet she placed on Aslan now was the only thing left to her.
One remaining Three-Digit identity, and half an unfinished Another Cosmology.
Almost forgot, plus this half-dead Star Spirit.
"Anyway, don't fall into the trap of that ugly woman Athena." Algol said beside Aslan's ear, her fragrant breath hitting his face.
"That's definitely impossible."
Aslan rolled his eyes. What help could Athena give him? Besides her somewhat beautiful appearance, but in terms of beauty and eye comfort.
Aslan still felt Algol was more pleasing to look at.
"And rather than falling into Athena's trap, I'd prefer falling into Algol's."
"Heh, arrogant. You really think you won't fall into that woman's trap? Who knows, she might have already started planning how to deal with you." Algol mocked, then said with a smile.
"Alright, if nothing else, I'll go first. Beauty treatment time has come again."
"Hmm, see you." Aslan said without lifting his head.
Seeing him with no reaction at all, Algol's face showed slight dissatisfaction.
"Hmm? Aren't you leaving? Why no movement for so long?" Aslan turned his head, looked at Algol still hugging his neck, and pressed her shoulder.
Algol showed a successful prank smile, and taking the chance while Aslan turned his face, she directly kissed his lips.
Aslan was startled by this action.
When he came to, Algol had already returned to the Demon Star who-knows-when, only a sweet aroma lingering around his mouth.
Aslan licked his lips, as if reminiscing the taste.
"Algol is really silly."
As if thinking of something, Aslan rubbed his temples in pain, feeling tomorrow's banquet would give him another headache.
"Hope it doesn't get too noisy."
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Mount Olympus.
In front of the War God Temple.
A burly man with messy brown hair, shirtless, stared coldly at the burly middle-aged man with thick curly beard holding a Trident in front of him.
"Heracles, why are you blocking me?"
Heracles didn't speak, just stared coldly at Poseidon.
"Tch!"
Poseidon clicked his tongue, his face looking bad, and stepped forward again.
"I'm just going to find Ares to discuss some matters. That doesn't warrant you doing this, right? Step aside, Heracles."
"As long as you leave Ares' War God Temple, I can pretend this didn't happen."
Poseidon glared angrily at Heracles, his hand gripping the Trident tighter.
If not for this being Mount Olympus, if Zeus wasn't on Mount Olympus, if Heracles wasn't Zeus's son, he would've taught this insolent nephew a lesson.
"I'm just going to find Ares, and won't attack Arcadia."
Poseidon said this and tried to pass Heracles to directly enter Ares' War God Temple.
After all, Heracles and he were both Four-Digit Outliers. In the Lower Layers where power was limited, he didn't dare say he'd definitely win if they really fought.
And even if so, it'd be hard to avoid Zeus's reckoning afterward.
As he spoke, Poseidon couldn't help glancing at Zeus Temple at the mountain peak.
There, thunder rumbled loudly.
Heracles said nothing, just continued blocking in front of Poseidon, using all means to prevent him from visiting Ares.
This was one of the few things he could do for Aslan.
After all, Aslan had saved his life, and at the same time gave him a precious artifact extremely compatible with him, its value no less than an Another Cosmology to him.
A few minutes ago, he received a message from Apollo containing a prophecy Apollo made.
Ares was in trouble. If he didn't want Arcadia targeted by Poseidon using Ares as excuse, then don't let anyone enter the War God Temple.
After receiving the message, Heracles rushed to the War God Temple and finally blocked Poseidon before he arrived.
(What illness is Ares suffering from now? Why let others block his grand door?)
Poseidon also grumbled in his heart. Since Ares' incarnation went to cause trouble in Arcadia, everything on Olympus felt off.
Especially Ares!
Based on Ares' previous nature, if someone blocked his War God Temple door, he would've made a fuss long ago.
Except for Zeus, Athena, and those Ares couldn't defeat, the rest Ares would slaughter together.
But Heracles wasn't one of those who could make Ares hold back his anger.
Poseidon waited, waiting for Ares to open his War God Temple and invite him in.
But after waiting long, Ares didn't come, but Zeus appeared in front of Ares' War God Temple who-knows-when.
The young golden-haired man in white robes looked at Heracles and Poseidon, and sighed.
"Why are you gathered in front of the War God Temple? What's the point?"
Heracles didn't speak, silently stepping aside, while Poseidon snorted coldly, face looking bad, and retreated.
After Zeus saw Poseidon leave, he stared at the War God Temple for a long time and sighed.
"Interested in replacing Ares as the new War God of the Twelve Main Gods?"
Heracles pointed at himself in disbelief and asked.
"Father, why?"
Though he and Ares were both Zeus's sons, Ares was the son of Zeus and Hera.
Compared to Ares, he was just a bastard, with no right to inherit the Twelve God Status.
As for the Fourth Generation Twelve Gods Athena, with Athena's personality, she'd definitely choose and train them herself to her satisfaction.
"Perhaps to save Ares' life."
Zeus sighed helplessly. His originally young and sturdy body looked very old at this moment.
Though Aslan's actions were very concealed, nothing on Mount Olympus escaped his eyes.
He knew Ares was forcibly displaced.
Aslan's actions were too ruthless. Ares couldn't be saved anymore. Leaving one life was already a good outcome.
However, with Aslan's personality, it was normal to cut the grass at the roots like Athena. Now he was just afraid of the Greek Pantheon's power.
If Aslan grew in the future, Ares would definitely die, the kind with no chance of survival at all.
Better to let Heracles become the next War God and suppress the issue first.
After all, Heracles was indeed a core member he planned for Athena.
Though Ares' actions caused considerable losses to Greece, after all, he was Ares' father.
"Your aptitude, plus the precious artifact given by that Arcadia child, you're also qualified to serve as one of the Twelve Main Gods."
As he spoke, Zeus entered the War God Temple, took Ares' Spirit Status, and looking at Ares' mummified corpse with a shattered head, sighed emotionally.
"Monsters nowadays are truly getting more terrifying."
With Aslan's single displacement on Ares, even he didn't react in time; Ares' incarnation and original body were displaced.
At the same time, the incarnation and original body's conditions were also swapped.
If he wasn't sure of Aslan's age, he'd definitely think this was a great God mastering the Realm of Boundary.
