Gave up the chance to leave and chose to stay, Achilles was not only intending to challenge the Divine Court, but also didn't want Chiron to continue staying here.
After all, despite the Centaur's previous words about how easy it was, both knew that even if there was no guard here, it was still not a simple matter for them to leave unharmed.
Nobody knew when All Gods would discover Achilles' escape, maybe a day, maybe just a moment.
And once discovered, perhaps he could rely on his Vajra Body, but Chiron might not be able to leave.
In that case, it was better to let the teacher leave first.
For this grand drama, leaving him alone would be enough.
"Reckless, Achilles, what do you think this place is, and what kind of person do you think the Divine King is?"
"Don't think that just because you've learned some skills, you can act with impunity. There are countless beings in this world more powerful than you. If the Divine King is enraged, you have no chance of survival—"
"—But teacher, if Zeus is really that powerful, then here, on Mount Olympus, in his domain, why were you able to come here safely?"
In a deep voice, Achilles looked toward the direction Chiron came from before.
"You have spoken to me about the power of the Primordial Deity, but if this is true, I could never leave, because such a powerful Deity would not overlook what is before them. And if this is false, then let me pierce through his powerful Lies."
"No matter the outcome, I will not regret it. Besides, if I cannot even defeat the two alternating Divine Kings, how could I overturn the Destiny of 'dying in War'?"
Silent, Chiron was touched by Achilles' last sentence.
Yes, he had almost forgotten that his student bore such a Prophecy, and it was precisely for this reason that the Centaur allowed him to leave.
Moreover, at this moment, Chiron himself was wavering.
During the battle against Typhon, he hid in Silver Moon City and did not see the battle between the Divine King and the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Demons.
But as early as the turning point of the Second Epoch, he had seen with his own eyes the might of the former Divine King.
From the East to the West of the continent, it was just a step.
From the Stars to the sea, it was just a flip of his hand.
In front of such an existence, the fact that he had safely entered Mount of the Gods was inherently unreasonable.
But maybe due to being overly worried about his student, he had failed to realize this point until now.
"...Perhaps you are right, Achilles, to break Destiny requires the courage to come back from Death."
"Maybe this is your opportunity, ha, since that is the case, make good use of this sword."
"The person who gave it to me told me that this sword is destined to walk the world at the end of this epoch, which is its Destiny, and that of the Sun, but its true master may not be you."
"So if one day you think someone else needs it more, don't hesitate and follow the outcome you desire."
Seeing that Achilles had made up his mind, Chiron finally just sighed.
Youthful arrogance, ignorance of heaven and earth, of course, this was not necessarily a good thing. Explore hidden tales at My Virtual Library Empire
After all, he who had gained Fame in youth did not understand fear, nor did he know where the true Strength in this world lay.
But thinking seriously, even if the former Divine King ruled the Sun, Moon, and Stars, possessing the greatest strength in the world, did they conquer Destiny or reverse the outcome of failure?
Probably not, and they lost miserably.
Even if the Deities did not die, what was their fate any different from Death?
One had already disappeared without a trace, and the other hung in the sky until now, looking down upon the world in sleep.
If the Divine King were , what of Achilles?
If the existing methods could not resist Death, then it might be better to let him walk the path he desired.
After all, he could be rescued from the Mountain, but he could not replace his Destiny.
This step could only rely on himself to take.
"I once had many students, but now that I think about it, they all followed the path they chose toward Death in the end."
"You are not the first...but I wish for you to be different."
"Of course, I will, teacher."
"Perhaps War is indeed my calamity, just like Ares' Vows."
"He said with his own mouth, between him and me, only one can survive."
Touching the stone box in front of him, the young hero said slowly, "He wasn't wrong."
"Just like the Prophecy said."
"Between 'War' and me, only you die, and I live."
