Goddess Athena casually responded, "This is a new vessel I created using the blood of the Gorgon Sisters and my own divinity, to make it convenient for me to walk outside and hide my identity."
Luo En observed Athena intently for a while, his eyes thoughtful.
No wonder he always felt this face looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before—the sample provider turned out to be Medusa.
As for why it was Medusa, and not the Gorgon Sisters as Athena had mentioned, Luo En's gaze shifted downward, settling on the prominent features on Athena's chest, and he smirked to himself.
To have fashioned such a figure for herself, it seemed you also had things you cared about, Sister Ya.
Just as Luo En's thoughts began to wander, a whisper echoed in his ear.
"You seem to be thinking about something impolite..."
"Not at all," Luo En denied outright, then quickly offered a noble-sounding excuse, "I was just thinking that if you plan to use this body to conceal your identity, should you not adopt a new name for your current appearance?"
On hearing this, Athena nodded in agreement, "That makes sense, do you have any suggestions?"
"How about 'Sasha'?" Luo En suggested with a smile, looking at the purple-haired, golden-eyed Athena in front of him.
Athena gladly accepted, "That sounds good; let's go with that."
So, the Holy Warrior and Goddess Athena are now both prepared? From now on, they could shout the battle cry "For Athena."
Luo En jeered inwardly, then felt a bit of regret.
It's a pity, the original Athena who rampaged through the Netherworld with unmatched battle strength in the LC spin-off didn't mention a name, otherwise using her name would have been more appropriate.
"Speaking of which, even before the war of the gods began, you had me prepare another body in advance..."
Athena, recalling various traces of the past, squinted her eyes as she looked towards Luo En seated opposite her.
"Could it be that from the beginning, you planned to restrict all the chief gods, including us?"
"The absence of excessive divine intervention is what really matters to humanity," Luo En nodded, revealing his long-held true plan.
"You have been ruling for too long; it's time to loosen the chains and let humanity learn to walk on their own."
"And what about you?"
Athena, looking at the person before her with the aura of a chief god, couldn't help but grind her teeth.
How come all these chief gods had been stripped of their titles, yet this person still retained his chief god strengths!
"As a shepherd, I have a duty to oversee, and this was all to prevent someone from overstepping and abusing power!"
Luo En answered righteously, then proudly defended himself.
"Besides, the Three Fates haven't picked a bone with me, their lack of opposition symbolizes their agreement, right?"
Though that may be so, he didn't mention a word about his own characteristic of being outside fate, which was actually the real reason behind this particular variable not being stripped of his title.
And Athena was no fool; looking at Luo En before her, she gritted her teeth and sneered coldly.
"Using us to divide the great powers of Olympus, using Zeus to balance us; negotiating with Hecate and those old gods and the Three Fates to establish a new order that diminishes the visibility of the pantheon, opening a new era for humanity. Well done, calculating everyone into your plan!"
Luo En confidently counter-queried, then calmly looked towards Athena.
"Hera has gained freedom, Poseidon has reclaimed the sea authority, Apollo has enacted his revenge, and your Athens need not worry following in the footsteps of Crete Island...
After a rebellion, not only were you not purged, but you essentially got what you wanted, isn't that good?
And thus, the strife among the gods ceased, and humanity could recuperate.
All this is the best screenplay I could come up with."
Athena rolled her eyes at Luo En, her face darkening as she inquired.
"Should I also thank you?"
"There's no need for that, just accept your loss," Luo En waved his hand off, using the tone Athena once used to teach him, jokingly.
"No one can win forever, it seems you're no different."
However, unexpectedly, the proud Goddess of Wisdom actually nodded slightly, openly accepting her defeat.
"You're right, this time indeed you won, outsmarting me to this extent, even I must admit my inferiority."
This sudden change made Luo En somewhat unsettled, prompting him to quickly rise from his seat facing Athena.
"Ahem, luck plays a part, the greater scheme of Athens still needs your guidance!"
But before he could fully stand, Athena pushed him back down onto the table.
The goddess's golden eyes narrowed as she looked down at the victor underneath her, and coldly huffed.
"Just won against me and you think you can go? Not so easy!"
Facing the impressive presence, Luo En swallowed nervously and cautiously inquired.
The white silk dress slid down from her shoulders, Athena looking down at her subdued opponent, her golden eyes gleaming cunningly and haughtily said.
"This time, I'll be on top!"
In the temple, the air surged and the doors promptly closed, as the victorious goddess shed all pretense and launched a fierce attack, pinning her opponent down in a brutal assault to reclaim the victory she lost on another battlefield.
The escalating battle caused the office desk to shake incessantly, several documents sliding off the desk corner and falling to the ground, revealing the gold lettering inside.
——In three days, God of Wine Luo En will marry Goddess Thetis in the City of Athens, and you are cordially invited to join.
The gold-lettered invitation glanced by the golden eyes in the darkness, elicited a cynical chuckle.
Thetis, your husband is truly remarkable!
Immediately after, even fiercer sounds of battle erupted.
