(Wait? Something's off?)
Shiroyasha suddenly realized. If it was just a rumor, unless it was nearly defiled by the entire poet community like the Little Garden Knights.
If it was maintained for a very long time, making falsehood truly become reality, it was impossible to reach the level of affecting Spirit Status.
After all, Spirit Status shifts seemed stoppable. Though Divinity shifts couldn't be stopped, they just needed to reclaim Divinity later.
In fact, the impact of observing a new Historical Transition Period on the Little Garden wasn't that great. They had long been in the Little Garden; there were many ways to avoid it.
"Could Athena have fallen into her own trap?"
Shiroyasha laughed heartily.
"Thinking she got the Supreme Goddess Trinity Throne for free, but this Trinity turned out to be Metis, Medusa, Athena Trinity."
Shiroyasha laughed without conscience. It had been a long time since she laughed this happily.
She finally knew why Athena's face was so sour.
She thought she got a huge advantage, but who knew the advantage was mixed with crap.
It couldn't be said to be poisoned, because nothing bad happened to Athena. Except making her extremely disgusted.
If only looking at the benefits gained, Athena should even thank Aslan!
Normally, even if Athena was disgusted, she shouldn't be this angry.
"There must be something we don't know here!"
Shiroyasha's curiosity was piqued. She was really curious what Aslan actually did to make Athena this disgusted.
She had to go to the front lines to eavesdrop!
At this moment, any task assigned by the Boss was completely ignored by Shiroyasha.
What task? Nothing was more important than fun!
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Arcadia, VIP Lounge.
Having just rushed to Arcadia, Athena held a cup of black tea and silently stared at the Athena sitting across from her.
The arms trained hard enough to lift a planet now couldn't hold a teacup.
The originally calm water surface in the teacup now slightly rippled, revealing Athena's unsettled heart.
After so long, she finally accepted reality and said in a strange, slightly trembling tone.
"There really is another Athena, huh…"
Athena closed her eyes with slight despair. Though mentally prepared, when she truly saw Athena.
Her heart was a bit shattered.
Though mentally prepared, Athena always held unrealistic hope.
Maybe this was a mythological shift caused by a poet? Purely someone wanting to disgust her?
After all, the probability of a poet wanting to disgust her was far greater than the probability of a Trinitarian Athena appearing in a world with a specific mythological worldview.
Originally, observing hundreds of millions of worlds might not yield one with a mythological worldview. And in a world with a mythological worldview, there might not be Greek mythology, might not be Athena…
Though Athena's existence was inevitable, Two-in-One was already a miracle among miracles, let alone Trinity…
(Trinity alone I could still endure.)
(But why does it have to be Metis, Medusa, Athena Trinity?!!)
(So, is Athena really destined to be unlucky?)
Athena fell into deep self-isolation.
Plus another Athena blocking her path, Athena became even more isolated.
Why did all the bad things happen to her?
Though she didn't hold the authority of Luck, she shouldn't be this unlucky, right?
If the Little Garden had an Unluckiness Ranking, Athena dared guarantee she'd be the number one unlucky person.
"Athena?"
With final hope, Athena expressionlessly stared at the small Athena before her, manifested with the Artificial God Metis Spirit Status.
"No, I'm Adina."
The small Athena… ah, no, Adina said softly.
She had no intention of competing with the Athena before her for the name Athena.
Funny. Just the Artificial God Metis Spirit Status alone had increased her power tens of thousands of times. She really couldn't imagine how strong the Little Garden Athena was.
Courting death wasn't done this way.
At this moment, all her courage had turned into a desire to survive. She only hoped the Athena before her wouldn't absorb her.
"Uh…"
The corner of Athena's mouth twitched. She looked at her somewhat speechless.
"Kid, relax. I have no intention of absorbing you."
What did absorbing Adina mean to her? How much power could it add?
It should be known that the Little Garden's Central Core observed new worlds every moment. And every time a new world was observed, all faith and merits related to Athena would flow to her.
If she was confident, if possible, just breathing could increase power equivalent to one Athena.
But it was meaningless. She now, like Zeus, was a Four-Digit Outlier hiding in the Lower Layer. The power limit in the Lower Layer was just that.
Piling quantity alone was useless. The Little Garden was a world prioritizing mechanisms.
After all, strong Three-Digits outside were Omniscient and Omnipotent, even some strongest Three-Digits could use Another Cosmology to display combat power not inferior to Two-Digits.
"Who gave you this name?"
Athena's eyes gradually sharpened. Adina was after all her homolog, and her experience was somewhat similar to hers.
In a sense, she was very sympathetic to her.
Adina instinctively shifted her gaze to Aslan's body.
"Ahem, ahem, ignore this detail."
Aslan coughed twice with slight embarrassment. Why did this involve him again?
"Goddess Athena, haven't you thanked me yet?"
Aslan pointed at Adina and said very politely.
"This is a huge gift I specially prepared for you."
Athena's eyelids couldn't help twitching, her tone somewhat unnatural, then she emphasized.
"Thank you? A huge gift specially prepared?"
"Yes."
After Aslan finished speaking, he looked at her smiling.
"Goddess Athena, aren't you interested in this gift?"
"Interested?"
Athena repeated in a very strange tone.
If Algol hadn't added seasoning, she wouldn't be ungrateful to Aslan. This was indeed a good opportunity for her.
Poop-flavored chocolate. Though the taste was somewhat indescribable, overcoming disgust could still eat it.
But the point was there was added seasoning inside.
From poop-flavored chocolate to Al-chan-filled poop-flavored chocolate.
This made Athena extremely disgusted. She now even wanted to vomit every time thinking she'd turn into Algol.
Aslan was silent for a moment and sighed slightly.
"Goddess Athena, maybe there's a misunderstanding between us?"
His expression now was somewhat awkward, just like when Adina complained to his face about naming her Adina.
Could Algol have done something again?
Aslan's eyelids instinctively twitched.
(She seems to have just done a stupid move.)
Seeing Aslan's expression, Athena took a deep breath, sipped her tea, and showed a brilliant smile.
"How could there be? I think there's no misunderstanding between us."
"No, no, no. I think there's quite a big misunderstanding between us."
Aslan quickly waved his hand. Athena's laughter gave him a malicious intent feeling.
Somewhat scary.
"All this is the result of Goddess Athena's luck. Otherwise, how could a Spirit Status so suitable for you be born?"
"Luck?"
The corner of Athena's mouth twitched. But why did she feel seven generations unlucky?
All bad things happened to her, and in the end she was still disgusted by Algol.
"No, no, no. How can you say that?"
Athena smiled while raising her teacup.
"Though it's luck, it should be your luck. I just benefited from you."
"The Greek Pantheon never wrongs benefactors. We won't let you suffer the slightest grievance."
Aslan instead held Athena's hand, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
Was this sure not a plan to trap him under the pretext of repaying kindness?
"No, no, no. This is clearly Goddess Athena's. How can it be considered my merit?"
After that, Aslan and Athena mutually refused to acknowledge the unfinished Trinitarian Spirit Status as their merit.
Only leaving Adina beside with an expression like she was learning.
At this moment, Athena seemed to understand the lower limit of Gods and Buddhas in the Little Garden.
Then a loud sound!
"Aslan, don't panic! Your Boss is here to save you!"
But seeing Aslan tightly holding Athena's hand, and them pushing each other, Shiroyasha blinked with slight confusion.
Her gaze kept moving between the two.
Finally, after her gaze stopped on Athena for a few seconds, it fixed on Aslan.
At this moment, Shiroyasha had already imagined a complete soap opera series. Yes, and it wasn't an ordinary soap opera.
Shiroyasha finally fell silent for a moment and shouted.
"Why haven't you been beaten to death by Athena yet?"
"Why should I be beaten to death by Athena?"
Aslan said with slight confusion. Though he might have offended Athena a bit, but not to the point of being killed?
Athena definitely gained more benefits.
Instead, Athena's current attitude made Aslan feel strange. Estimated mostly Algol acting up again, making Athena extremely disgusted because of it.
Algol's precise strike, what did it have to do with him?
"Alright."
The interest on Shiroyasha's face immediately decreased a lot. She thought she'd see something fun.
