Chapter 37: The Gaze of Fate
Chapter 37: The Gaze of Fate
“The three Goddesses of destiny, Atropos, Clotho, and Lachesis, who are the daughters of the Goddess Themis.”
“Since they were born, they have been secluded in the temple of the Goddess of destiny outside Olympus, and only a few gods have seen them.”
“The temple of the Goddess of destiny is a forbidden place for the gods. Except for our Father God, no gods can set foot there, including their mother, Goddess Themis.”
Athena looked serious.
“Although I don’t know their exact situation, to be able to get involved with the word destiny is not an ordinary existence…” Apollo’s expression was very calm.
Athena reminded: “Now he will test you at best, so just be careful.”
Apollo nodded and said nothing.
Glancing at the depth of the temple of Athena, he suddenly smiled and said, “Can you take me to your room?”
Athena was stunned with a strange expression.
But she still nodded and led Apollo to the inside of the temple.
It was said to be a place to rest; in fact, the gods did not need sleep at all. Athena’s bed was very neat, and it seemed that she had never used it.
The huge room was spotless, and a large bookshelf full of books took up the most space.
Next to the bookshelf was a table with several books with reading marks.
Apollo noticed that one of the top books, the title of which was ‘Strategies for Divine Warfare’, was signed by the author as Pallas.
“My favorite is the writings of Lord Pallas, no one can surpass him in commanding the battle of the gods, and the failure of the Titian War was not a failure of his command, but the situation.”
Athena sighed gently.
“What about Prometheus? I heard he used to have a perfect relationship with you.” Apollo asked.
Hearing this name, Athena was suddenly silent.
After a while, she said, “If Lord Pallas is good at combat and strategy, then Prometheus, the Prophet, is the wisest sage.”
“He is a great teacher who can bring guidance to all life and reveal light in the midst of darkness.”
“One of his most impressive quotes to me was, ‘The body is a cage of spirit, the world is a cage of body, and every one of us is a prisoner.'”
“That’s what he told me before being chained to the Caucasus Mountains.”
Apollo frowned: “‘The body is the cage of the spirit, the world is the cage of the body, it is a philosophical sentence, as long as living in this world, each of us is in prison.”
“Then how can we open this cage and gain true freedom?”
Athena whispered, “If there was an answer, he would not still be on Mount Caucasus. The chains were not given by the King of Gods, but by himself.”
“I’d like to meet this great prophet sometime.” Apollo’s eyes fell on the opposite side of the bookshelf.
There was a dressing table, and next to it was a closet, storing gorgeous or simple dresses.
“It turns out that the Goddess of wisdom like to dress up.”
The corners of Apollo’s mouth twitched, and he walked quietly to the dressing table.
Athena frowned slightly, and while she was watching, Apollo suddenly waved to the air somewhere around her dresser.
She was a little puzzled.
Taking the initiative to see her room was already very strange. What was he doing now?
Feeling Athena’s strange gaze, Apollo, who had put away the treasure chest, stood up indifferently and walked out step by step.
“Well, you are really clean here. If you have time, you can go to sister Artemis and teach her how to dress up.”
“Wow, aren’t you afraid she’ll fight me?” Athena laughed lightly.
In order to reassure Zeus, she took the initiative to trouble Artemis several times over the years.
The relationship between the two was very tense.
“You also underestimate the wisdom of sister Artemis; you think she can’t see that you do it on purpose, and all these years, she’s just cooperating with you.” Apollo twisted his head and laughed.
At the same time, he muttered in his heart,?if someone really dared to provoke her all the time, Artemis would have shot an arrow long ago.
The tenderness of his sister had always been towards people close to her.
In the face of others, they would only accept the cruelty of the Goddess of hunting.
In Delos Island, the prey that died under her arrows all died cleanly and thoroughly.
“So she did have me fooled,” Athena said with a sudden flash of sharp color in her eyes.
Apollo was heartbroken.
This Goddess of wisdom wouldn’t have the intention of faking it, would she?
She was forcing Artemis to bow down and be a sister so that she could behave and call herself a sister.
“Goddess Athena, why did you bring him here!” An angry shout came steeply from a distance.
Nike held a tea tray and stared at Apollo, who was not far from Athena’s dressing table.
“Sister Artemis should miss me a lot. I’d better go see her first; see you some other time.” Apollo immediately said goodbye to Athena and quickly walked out of the temple of the Goddess of wisdom.
When he left, he could still detect Nike’s knife-like eyes staring at him from behind.
“Who is the Main God in the end, Athena? You are not good at your command.”
With this in mind, Apollo walked to a corner and opened the advanced treasure chest he received from Athena.
Ding,?you have opened an advanced treasure chest and obtained Divine Origin Crystal*190, Divine Art Twilight Judgment (2-star), Emerald of Dreams of the White King (2-star).
“The White King. Isn’t this the title of Euphoriya, the Goddess of ?moon, who is listed as the goddess of the nine pillars along with Oradro? Is this jade of dreams her token of love?”
As Apollo recalled, a colorful, dream-like jade necklace appeared in his palm.
After looking at it for a while, he confirmed it.
“The Emerald of Dreams is said to be condensed by the essence of nature and has pure energy. My sister is not only the Goddess of hunting but also the Goddess of nature. If I give it to her, it should help her quickly advance to the Main God.”
After receiving the Divine Art called ‘Twilight Judgment’ with the divine origin crystals again, Apollo headed for Artemis’ residence.
