Chapter 451: Chapter 8 Ridden by the Goddess
At this moment, inside the cave.
Having confirmed their next target, Luo En’s eyes twinkled as he tentatively inquired.
“If that’s the case, is it possible to gather those individuals favored by ‘Destiny’ to War God Mountain in advance and have me personally instruct them?”
“I advise you not to do so,”
Hecate shook her head solemnly, earnestly advising.
“As I’ve told you, Destiny is not set in stone. Their experiences shape their existence and determine their future. If you intervene too much, you might affect, or even strip away, that ‘possibility’ within them, causing them to become indistinguishable from the masses.”
Luo En was a person who heeded advice, firmly keeping Hecate’s reminders in mind.
Seeing this, Hecate nodded in satisfaction and added in a deep voice.
“Furthermore, The Three Fates have now set their sights on you. If you brazenly interfere and cause a change beyond what ‘Destiny’ can tolerate, it’s very likely that all three of them will intervene collectively. Even if they can’t act against you directly, they can still influence those around you, rendering your previous efforts null and void.
Thus, even though you hold the position of Chief God and outstrip the other gods in the Mortal World, for safety’s sake, it is best when wandering the earth to do so in the form of an incarnation.”
Listening to this heartfelt advice, a trace of skepticism appeared on Luo En’s face.
“Why are you telling me this?”@@@@
He remembered that this mentor of his was not the type to consider others altruistically.
“Because you have already created an ‘impossibility’ that surpasses the calculations of Fate.”
Hecate gazed at her most outstanding student before her, revealing a look of deep admiration in her eyes, and spoke leisurely.
“You are stronger than me and perhaps, can go even farther than I have.”
At this point, the two were firmly bound together, where their union would be mutually beneficial and their separation mutually detrimental.
Mutually scheming and internal conflict would likely lead to mutual destruction, ultimately benefitting The Three Fates.
Although she held the Divine Authority of intrigue, some concepts, perhaps, should be updated.
Luo En gave his teacher a deep look and smiled generously.
“Don’t worry, I probably won’t disappoint you.”
Hopefully...
Hecate murmured under her breath as she watched her student gradually disappear into the darkness, until his figure vanished under a canopy of stars.
“Meh?”
In the corner of the cave, two goats licked their rough tongues, letting out a puzzled bleat as their heads turned, eyeing the bidipedal female creature who seemed to be muttering to herself in front of a stone pillar.
Seeing the demon’s sharp horns and yellow-brown pupils, Hecate’s body stiffened, her expression frozen.
Moments later, the lament of a certain Queen of Hell echoed throughout the cave.
“Luo En, you little scoundrel—take them away! Take them away!”
~~
“Achoo!”
Standing on the mountain path, a certain disobedient disciple involuntarily felt a chill behind him and sneezed heartily.
“Who?”
Luo En turned sharply, looking toward the dense forest behind him.
“Not a bad reaction,”
Accompanied by the rustling sound of branches and leaves, the Goddess with purple hair and golden eyes stepped out from the forest.
“So it’s you, Sister Ya.” Luo En’s tense body relaxed slightly, raising his hand to scratch his somewhat itchy nose, he casually inquired, “What about Eris? Weren’t you chasing after her?”
“She got away.”
“That woman managed to slip away from you? That doesn’t seem right,”
“Couldn’t help it, Zeus intervened.”
Athena spread her hands with a hint of helplessness.
Consequently, Pittheus decided to quietly marry his daughter Aethra to Aegeus.
The King of Athens then married the Troizenian princess Aethra, spent some time with her in secret, returned to Athens, left a token behind, bid farewell to his new wife, and instructed her:
“If the gods only bless us and grant you a son, then please raise him in secret, letting no one know who the child’s father is. When the child grows into a strong, robust man, have him bring the token to Athens to find me!”
Later on, as expected, the Troizenian princess Aethra conceived and bore a child, naming him “Theseus.”
As Theseus grew into a valorous youth, he took the weapons and tokens left by Aegeus and set off for Athens to seek his father.
After many trials and tribulations, father and son were reunited, and Theseus, who had performed many acts of kindness and vanquished evil along the way, naturally succeeded to the throne as the King of Athens.
All seemed perfect up to this point.
But the problem was that Troizen City was under the domain of the Sea God Poseidon, and the Troizenians regarded him as the protector of their city,
and Theseus’ mother and grandfather had publicly proclaimed that he was the son of the Sea God Poseidon...
Luo En mulled over the associated information in his mind and spoke thoughtfully.
“So, Aegeus is doubting the child’s bloodline and identity?”
“Exactly, he wants me to verify the truth to prevent Athens’ royal power from falling into the wrong hands.”
Athena nodded, a hint of mockery flashing through her eyes.
She couldn’t help it, Poseidon’s reputation was too loud.
The guardian god of Troizen city was known for his brazen nature; he didn’t hesitate to pursue any female that caught his eye.
Since Aegeus had been childless for so many years, suddenly acquiring an illegitimate son after going out and about could easily stir doubt whether he became the fall guy.
Furthermore, Poseidon had always wanted to develop Athens into his own Holy Land and had tried to infiltrate Athens’ royal power by various means. Aegeus had to be cautious. Proactively asking for instructions from her, his Chief God, was also to prevent future mistakes of entrusting it to the wrong person, which might lead to greater problems.
“It seems I need to take a trip outside,”
Athena spoke softly, beckoning a tame Pegasus with a wave of her hand.
Luo En stepped forward, adjusting Athena’s saddle while speaking somewhat helplessly,
“There’s been too much going on recently. As soon as I finish up the work at hand, I also need to travel the nations in an Incarnation to find suitable bearers for the Sacred Robes, so I’m afraid I can’t accompany you.”
“Don’t worry, this little matter I can handle on my own.”
The Goddess of Wisdom, accustomed to independence, waved her hand, reassuring him before appearing to recall something, then smiled at Luo En.
“By the way, it’s safer to travel using a new identity, have you prepared an alias yet?”
“Not yet.”
“Let me help you choose one then, let’s call you Pegasus!”
“Ahem...”
Luo En, who had just been endowed with a new alias, coughed violently, assailed by a certain dead memory, and his look at Athena was filled with a peculiar light.
Pegasus? Sasha?
Could it be such a coincidence? Or did she sneak a look at my memories?
“Alright, Pegasus, it’s settled then!”
However, as Luo En looked up to see Athena mounting her steed with a teasing air, taking to the skies with her mount, he suddenly realized.
Question: What’s the role of “Pegasus”?
Answer: To be ridden under Athena, the Goddess...
That damned dead memory!
It was evidently because Athena still held a grudge about him roasting her at the wedding, and intentionally chose “Pegasus,” a name with implied meaning, for a comeback.
— Even if you’re smart or brave, aren’t you still ridden by me?
Standing in place, Luo En figured out the answer, with a face as black as a pot’s bottom.
