Chapter 132: Chapter 101: Got Rejected (As per title, 8k)_4
The supreme divine authority of Olympus may not be unchangeable.
And to achieve this ultimate goal, whether it's using the Minosians as a bargaining chip to force Athena into submission, or attempting to use King Minos's Golden Hound to win the favor of the Hunting God, the ownership of Crete Island is of paramount importance!
Therefore, he went to great lengths to initiate the beast tide, in order to gather these necessary conditions.
In the real mythological records, it seems that Poseidon's scheme had succeeded.
——Orion, who liked to hunt in the forest all day, with a faithful hound, became a good hunting partner for Artemis, the Hunting God, and her mother, the Nurturing Goddess Leto.
——Before long, a rebellion against Zeus broke out on Olympus, in which Poseidon, Apollo, Athena, and Hera all participated.
These traces found in the pages of books undoubtedly prove this point.
However, with the emergence of the variable Luo En, Poseidon's attempt to seize Crete Island and the first step to pressure Athena fell through, and even Orion, the demi-god crucial for the subsequent plans, was nearly lost in the process.
Seeing his plan collapse, and unable to make progress against that spiny Goddess of Wisdom for the time being,
Poseidon had no choice but to fall back and decide to target Artemis first.
So, Orion's real target was not him; he set foot on land to lure that female Hunting God!
Chapter Enjoy:
And, in order for his godly son to succeed in one fell swoop, Poseidon clearly infused the Power of the God of Love obtained from the bargain into Orion's body.
Since he couldn't have the help of the Golden Hound and couldn't take a subtle approach, he had no choice but to turn the raw rice into cooked rice first.
Torrents of thoughts surged and intertwined, allowing Luo En to pierce through the fog and see the truth and schemes beneath the deep sea in just a few short seconds.
"Artemis, wake up!"
Luo En shouted at the top of his voice, trying to awaken Artemis from the mind control of the Power of the God of Love.
However, what he got in return was an even more pathological smile from the female Hunting God.
"I am perfectly clear-headed. Anything I hunt is mine, it doesn't matter whether you agree or not."
As she spoke, Artemis drew back her Golden War Bow, and a new Golden Light Arrow began to form inch by inch on the bowstring.
"Yes, beautiful goddess, eliminate this obstacle, and nothing will stand in our way of being together anymore."
Orion on the opposite shore, driven by the Power of the God of Love within him, encouraged her more vehemently, his eyes filled with spiteful sneers.
Why should you always be the first! All of this should have been mine!
Die! I want to see you die under the arrow of the one you love!
Seeing the Light Arrow on the bowstring gradually taking shape, a chilling cold raced from Luo En's tailbone straight to the crown of his head.
This crazy woman!
Luo En's forehead broke out in large beads of cold sweat, internally cursing while frantically searching for his own sliver of a chance at survival.
With Artemis, this crazed human cannon, running would be useless.
Might as well catch the thief by catching the king?
But this thought only lasted for half a second before he extinguished the tempting idea.
The distance was too great, and with Artemis standing in the way, he'd likely be turned into a sieve by the crazy woman behind him before he could even lay a finger on Orion on the other bank.
Damn the Power of the God of Love!
Luo En cursed in his heart subconsciously, but then a thunderbolt exploded in his mind, clearing the chaos of his thoughts.
Wait, the Power of the God of Love?
It seemed he had it too!
In an instant, the faded memory became vivid.
In a moment of crisis, Luo En thought of something he had drawn from the Twelve-Sided Die during the escape in the Sea of Okeanos,
"[Aphrodite's Blessing]: The Goddess of Love and Beauty will activate your divine bloodline of the God of Love, bestowing upon you attraction to the opposite sex, lasting for one week."
In an instant, this divine power blessing, once deemed tasteless yet too valuable to dispose of and thus thrown into a forgotten corner, now shone like a priceless treasure.
——Thank the ex-grandmother!
Suddenly, the same guy who had been cursing the God of Love moments before, earnestly praised his nominal ex-grandmother and without hesitation, used the chance divinity of the Twelve-Sided Die to activate the blessing from the God of Love.
As the boiling divine blood began to circulate faster, a seductive pink hue materialized in those crystal-like eyes.
With a stroke of luck, Luo En moved the muscles of his face, pulling out a bright and gentle smile, and gazed intently at the majestic female Hunting God.
"Artemis, I agree! I agree to become your servant of God! To accompany you by your side forever!"
Did he agree? He just agreed like that?
Eye to eye, the promise resonated like sweet nothings, causing Artemis, who was holding a breath of anger in her heart, to be taken aback, her face showing hints of confusion and wavering.
But, that was all.
Clearly, compared to the blessing of the God of Love Luo En had obtained from his trial, it was Poseidon's transaction with Aphrodite to influence a Chief God that was more domineering with the Power of the God of Love.
But that was enough!
Luo En, seeing the female Hunting God's expressions loosen, immediately put all his might into stirring the divinity from his God of Love bloodline and the madness from the God of Wine, shouting a thunderous wake-up call.
"Wake up! You've been bewitched!"
In that moment, Artemis, almost rendered deaf, snapped to her senses, and her murky eyes swiftly gained a trace of clarity.
Now realizing something was amiss, Orion's face changed drastically, hastily urging,
"Beautiful goddess, don't listen to his nonsense, kill him, and we can..."
