In the end, the six Almighty Domains retreated after both Athena and Zeus declared their Wills.
After Zeus appeared, Poseidon the Sea King, Apollo the Light God, and Artemis the Moon Goddess also manifested.
Poseidon and Apollo looked at Zeus in confusion. They didn't understand why he chose to side with Athena.
The muscular, dark-skinned youth with sharp features and curly seaweed-like hair stepped forward, walking in front of Zeus and questioning him with a frown.
"Zeus, we need an explanation!"
Zeus smiled and didn't respond to Poseidon's question, instead changing the subject.
"You'll understand after meeting Athena."
"Hmph."
Poseidon snorted in annoyance. He was already unhappy with Zeus becoming the Greek King of Gods, especially after Zeus became the Great Father God with a Spirit Status bound to Human History.
This half-dead, indifferent state had caused Zeus to lose authority within the Greek Pantheon.
Seeing this, Zeus didn't mind, simply smiling as he led Poseidon, Apollo, and Artemis toward the Temple of Wisdom.
After the three Gods arrived at the temple entrance, Artemis voluntarily stepped forward first.
After all, the Temple of Wisdom was Athena's private domain. How could the Virgin Goddess's temple easily allow outsiders in?
The tightly closed tall stone gates of the temple opened automatically. Seeing this scene.
Artemis didn't hesitate and immediately stepped inside.
Passing through a long corridor, the silver-haired Goddess walked to the center of the temple. Beneath the giant Goddess statue, she saw Athena.
At this moment, Athena was closing her eyes, strengthening her Spirit Status. But the chants surrounding her body also revealed her state.
[Great Queen of the Trinity!]
[You are the embodiment of Wisdom, You are the mercy of the Earth, You are the incarnation of War, You are the plunderer of the Heavens.]
[You are the Supreme King of Gods!]
Hearing such chants, Artemis immediately assessed Athena's current state.
Seeing this, Artemis stepped forward and asked with a frown.
"Athena, whose plan are you following? Or…"
(Is this your own plan gone wrong?)
The last sentence, Artemis didn't ask. In her view, if it was truly Athena's plan, it was impossible to go wrong.
But Athena's Spirit Status right now was too unstable.
She could truly see that Athena's Spirit Status was shifting and ascending toward the fourth-generation King of Gods.
But Athena was suppressing this Spirit Status shift.
After all, the Greek Pantheon's current situation wasn't good. The Greek Pantheon dominated too much faith and had become a thorn in the side of many Pantheons.
If not for the Greek Pantheon hiding in the Lower Layer, plus Christianity in the Upper Layer drawing attention, the situation would be worse.
But Christianity at least had the Holy Son as a Two-Digit. The Greek Pantheon was very awkward.
Though Zeus was strong as the Great Father God, the Great Father God's power clearly couldn't be used freely.
The Gods were wary but not overly so. At least the deterrence wasn't as strong as the Holy Son's.
Moreover, now, besides Buddhism, Christianity had the most Three-Digits. Three-Digits weren't afraid of being besieged by Pantheons at all.
If Athena's state was exposed, many existences would surely come to cause trouble.
Facing Artemis's question, Athena shook her head, indicating she wasn't entirely sure.
"An unfinished Four-in-One King of Gods Spirit Status? It does suit you somewhat."
Artemis looked at her suspiciously. Wasn't this Athena's plan?
Wasn't it Athena's attack on the King of Gods throne?
Of course, she didn't mind Athena becoming the next-generation King of Gods.
"Yes. Unfortunately, the Little Garden's Central Core is still fluctuating. The transforming Spirit Status cannot fully manifest."
Athena answered calmly, though she was also somewhat confused inside.
Who would give her such a massive gift?
Yes, a massive gift. Though this massive gift was a bit hard to realize.
But in Athena's current view, this Spirit Status was very helpful to her. Though it might not necessarily help her become Two-Digit, it could at least advance her a big step.
But for some reason, she sensed an ominous aura in this Spirit Status.
This Spirit Status always gave her a very strange feeling.
Like poop-flavored chocolate, making one uncomfortable.
The more curious it made one.
However, this clearly wasn't the time to investigate this, but to handle the Almighty Domains coming to demand accountability.
Thinking this, Athena reached out. Several silver-white light points appeared and materialized in her hand.
"By the way, Artemis, help me give this Divinity to Hestia in the Heavens and ask Her to mediate on my behalf."
Issues involving diplomacy were best left to Hestia with her wide network.
This Greek Main God Head, with her gentle nature and most of the network inherited from Gaia, perfectly suited Athena's current needs.
At least, most Almighty Domains were willing to give Hestia face.
Otherwise, if she stepped forward, the end result would be war! War! War!
Understand what a true Greek War Goddess means!
"I understand."
Artemis sighed, storing the Divinity, then warned Athena.
"Be careful."
Athena nodded slightly and saw Artemis off.
Then, Athena's previously calm face filled with deep seriousness. This seriousness was far heavier than when she learned of another far stronger Athena.
"Strange, who exactly planned this against me?"
Athena was truly confused. Her level of confusion was no less than the Almighty Domains coming to demand accountability—or rather, she was the most confused.
Who would give her a Spirit Status with such high compatibility for no clear reason?
Not a Great Triple like Hermes.
As the God of Thieves and Commerce, Hermes had no way to succeed on the Great Triple Hermes path (alchemist, mysticism, divination).
Breaking into Three-Digit with that alone was already a huge gain.
If not for the other Athena, she could fully become Two-Digit with this Spirit Status.
Her wisdom told her that as long as she was willing, she could directly complete over seventy-five percent of this Spirit Status.
Athena thought long but couldn't find who wanted to harm her? Or purely intended to gift her? Or just to disgust her.
But honestly, Athena was quite aware of her network in the Little Garden.
No need to talk about how many friends she had. Artemis and Hestia were already the existences with the best relations to her.
But she also didn't have overly hostile enemies? Even if there were, she had surely sent them back to Human History (for resurrection loading).
As for other enemies, it was more pure interest conflicts, but not to the point of aiding enemies.
Unless someone knew about her impossible Two-Digit difficulty?
But this was even less likely. The issue of the other Athena, a multiverse far stronger than the Little Garden, only a few Two-Digits knew.
Ordinary Two-Digits might not even know.
If others knew, they might not sleep soundly.
Telling her would only be to warn her.
Athena frowned deeply.
One by one Pantheons, one by one enemies eliminated.
Finally, after eliminating all objects, Athena focused on one person.
Someone with strong ability, strong potential, and the lucky heir of the Chinese Pantheon legacy—Aslan.
(Could it be him?) Athena thought with full doubt.
If it was Aslan, she felt slightly relieved. Though it didn't mean Aslan had no thoughts of disgusting her.
Aslan was also among the very few existences who knew about the multiverse with Overgod existences.
And his relationship with Algol was very good—or rather, somewhat abnormal.
Thinking this way, suspicion toward Aslan grew higher.
But just to disgust her, giving her such a massive gift?
Was it worth it? Could Aslan be as crazy as Algol?
Even if she couldn't become Two-Digit, this Spirit Status still had immense value to her.
But soon, this option was eliminated again by Athena.
"The time is too short…"
Athena sat on a cushion and said with a sigh.
Aslan had only come to the Little Garden a few months ago. In such a short time, to create such a massive mythological shift. Unless he observed a world where mythology existed, and that world also had the possibility for her to become the fourth-generation King of Gods.
But a world where mythology existed was already hard to observe, let alone having a Trinitarian Athena.
If it was true, it could only be said that Athena was extremely lucky.
"Forget it, just put him on the suspect list."
After all, besides Aslan, she really couldn't find anyone else to suspect.
"Unfortunately, this Trinitarian Spirit Status hasn't manifested. Otherwise, I could get more information."
When saying this, Athena felt a slight bad premonition.
The next second, the Spirit Status shift speed suddenly increased. She sensed Spirit Status resonance, sensing the other Athenas' existences.
She closed her eyes and fell into a half-conscious enlightenment state.
She stood, looked around, and saw a marble church with only a few hundred years of history.
And her current position was in the garden beside the church, not far from a fountain and woods.
"In the end, still discovered?"
A soft voice sounded. Athena suddenly turned, looking behind. In the night-shrouded woods, she saw a petite figure.
The figure wore a cat-ear knit hat, modern sailor uniform-style clothes, and had vertical snake-like eyes.
A deep sighing sound. The petite figure turned to ash, blown away bit by bit from the feet by the wind.
Suddenly, Athena opened her eyes, crouching on the ground with a serious expression. Her brain couldn't think for a short time.
Her face pale, the corner of her mouth slightly trembling. Her mouth slightly opened and closed.
Finally, she said in a complicated tone.
"Trinity of Heaven and Earth Goddess: Athena, Medusa, Metis…"
Athena was silent for a long time. Finally, she said with a distorted face.
"Why does it have to be Medusa?"
At this moment, Athena even wanted to vomit, but she forcibly held it back.
The "massive gift" someone gave her earlier, Athena now only wanted to take back her words.
This wasn't a massive gift at all!! It was clearly made to disgust her!
Exactly like poop-flavored chocolate, or chocolate-flavored poop.
Making one nauseous and want to vomit.
"But do I really have to give up?"
Athena was still somewhat reluctant. Giving up just like that was too wasteful. The path to Two-Digit was already hard to find.
Now, this wide path stretched before her. It was almost impossible for her to give up just like that!
This was an open strategy, an unsolvable open strategy!
Athena gritted her teeth and finally made a decision.
"Isn't it just becoming one with my already dead mother and the person I hate most?"
"Isn't it just poop-flavored chocolate?"
"I'll endure!!"
Disgusting or not, seize this opportunity first!
Athena suppressed her disgust toward Algol and accepted the Spirit Status shift brought by the Trinitarian Athena.
Of course, before this step, she still had a way out. After all, though mythological shift would affect Divinity and Spirit Status, like returning Divinity.
Athena could reject this change. The mythological shift speed affecting Spirit Status was still somewhat slow, not as fast as the impact on Divinity.
But the next second, after accepting the unfinished Trinitarian Spirit Status, Athena also received…
"Huek"!!
Athena couldn't hold back her nausea and fully vomited a rainbow.
"Algol, I'll kill you!!!!"
Athena saw the words Stupid Adina on her face with a pale expression, and the seasoning Algol added to Medusa's possibility.
If she accepted this possibility, she had to accept her face developing toward Algol's trend.
Though Algol's appearance was top-tier in the Little Garden.
But once Athena imagined spending her days with Algol's face…
Better to kill her quickly.
She seemed to hear Algol's laughter right now.
"Ugly one, Al-chan feels you're too ugly, too disgusting, so Al-chan decided to help you become prettier."
"No need to thank Al-chan!"
Then Athena couldn't hold back dry heaving again.
Now suspicion could be cleared. This was clearly Aslan and Algol's doing!
