Type-Moon, I heard that after death, you can ascend to the Throne of Heroes?

"I think any god can recognize you." Facing Nuoyan's curious inquiry, Thetis smiled softly and answered.

As she said that, she took another look at the "mark" on Nuoyan's body.

Queen Hera, Goddess of Wisdom Athena, Moon Goddess Artemis and God of Light Apollo... Staring at the accumulated aura of gods, it can only be said that it is hard not to recognize them.

And except for you named Nuoyan, which hero would be as delicate as a flower!

"Child, did you come here to defeat the sea monster Scylla?"

Then Thetis asked naturally, after all, he was a famous hero, and Scylla was a monster, so it was natural for Nuoyan to appear here.

"No, it's not." Nuoyan shook his head and looked at Medea beside him.

Medea came out and said, "Hello, honorable goddess of the sea Thetis, my name is Medea, and I am a student of the goddess Hecate."

Then Nuoyan told her that he was going to take Medea to Aeolus Island to meet the witch Circe.

When Thetis heard this, she blinked her blue eyes, but a strange color flashed in her eyes. After thinking for a while, she asked softly, "Dear girl Medea, can you tell me what is your relationship with Circe, the demigod of the moon and love?"

"She is my senior sister and my aunt, a beautiful goddess." Medea answered without hesitation.

After all, just like Nuoyan's feeling, facing this gentle goddess in front of her, probably anyone would let down their guard in front of her.

"Is that so..."

Thetis lowered her head and was silent for a while, then raised her head and smiled softly, "Those two lovely children, are you willing to listen to me and tell a story?"

As she spoke, the sea water on the side gathered into a harp and appeared in Thetis's hands.

Thetis took the harp, rolled up the hair that fell beside her ears, walked in small steps, and told a story for Nuoyan and Medea in the strait under the moon.

The protagonist of the story is the sea monster Scylla.

Scylla is a famous monster in ancient Greek mythology. It is called the source of terror in the sea and will bring death to all those who approach.

But what Thetis said was not the horror of this monster, but a past event.

That was a friend of Thetis, a beautiful water nymph.

The kind water nymph once saved a fisherman who fell into the water, and when the fisherman woke up, he fell in love with her all of a sudden.

But the beautiful water nymph did not like him, so she rejected the fisherman's love.

So in order to get the love of the water nymph, the fisherman finally found the witch, the demigod of the moon and love, Circe, to help.

He was a very handsome fisherman, so Circe chose to help him.

Helped the fisherman meet the water nymph many times. In the situation of getting along day after day, the water nymph finally fell in love with the fisherman little by little.

But at this time, as they spent time together day by day, the witch Circe also fell in love with the fisherman.

And before the fisherman was ready to confess to the water nymph, she confessed her love in advance.

But such a typical loser behavior naturally failed to win back the fisherman's love, so in jealousy and anger, the witch Circe cursed the kind water nymph.

She cursed the water nymph into a terrifying monster, becoming as tall as a hill, with tentacles growing under her body, and her upper body becoming extremely ugly.

At the same time, the witch Circe also told the water nymph how to remove the curse, and it was very simple.

All you need to do is get the person you love, a kiss of love.

This is really simple, so the water nymph came to the fisherman with great expectations, told the fisherman everything, and hoped to get his love.

The fisherman agreed and asked her to wait for half a day, and he would come back.

The water nymph did so, but half a day... no, after a week, the water nymph finally realized that she had been deceived.

Seeing her ugly appearance, the fisherman was scared and terrified.

His original admiration turned into panic, so he chose to escape.

So from then on, there was a man-eating monster on the sea, that is the sea monster Scylla...

When Thetis stopped playing and finished telling the story.

Not to mention Nuoyan, even the Pegasus beside him forgot to eat grass when listening.

... So bloody!

Nuoyan, who was full of emotion in his heart, then turned his head to look at Medea beside him.

But he found that she actually shed tears at this moment, and her expression was very angry.

"It's so hateful, aunt is really hateful, I decided, from today I will never change my words again, just call her aunt!"

"And that fisherman, beautiful goddess Thetis, please tell me his name, I will punish him, I will turn him into a pig, so that he can only be a pig for the rest of his life!" Medea said fiercely.

There is no usual cuteness and cuteness at all.

This made Nuoyan, who was a little stunned, start to doubt whether the obedience she usually showed in front of him was all fake...

Thetis smiled gently, she came to Medea, gently stroked her hair, and soothed her restless heart.

"Don't worry, child, that human has naturally received the punishment he deserved, but... the heart that has been broken cannot be healed so easily."

As she said this, Thetis raised her head and looked into the distance with a sad expression.

"Due to betrayal and the witch's curse, she truly fell into a monster. When I knew about it and rushed over, it was too late."

When Thetis said this, the excited Medea wanted to say something else.

The strait suddenly and violently trembled.

A huge whirlpool appeared in the originally calm sea, and from the whirlpool, a terrifying monster emerged.

Its lower body is like an octopus, with huge tentacles growing out of it, and its upper body is in the shape of a woman, but its face is as ferocious as a monster, and its head is covered with long hair that roars like a vicious dog.

"Circe..."

She, who lives in the deep sea, appeared after hearing this name.

"Circe!"

The strait trembled with her anger, and the swinging tentacles caused the ocean here to roll and surge!

"Circe, Circe!!!"

Medea was startled by her appearance and her terrifying appearance, and subconsciously hugged the gentle goddess in front of her, while Thetis also accepted her with a smile.

Just raising her head and looking at the former friend in front of her, her eyes were filled with sadness again.

And Nuoyan on the side looked at such a banshee Scylla...

"Suddenly I feel like I don't blame the fisherman, although he did really suck...right, Brother Ma?"

Brother Ma glanced at Nuoyan and tilted his head without answering.

Although it praises it in its heart, with so many gods watching, it won’t tell the truth!

Brother Ma, you know better than promises what it means to have trouble come from your mouth!

"Scylla don't do this."

Thetis looked at her angry and irrational look sadly, and said: "Circe is not here, and I have already punished the human who betrayed you and imprisoned him in the sea forever, so stop. Bar."

Thetis's voice did not awaken Scylla's consciousness, but instead made Scylla, who glanced at her, become even crazier.

He even attacked Thetis directly.

Because she is so beautiful, and she is so ugly at the moment.

The sea water controlled by Thetis blocked Scylla's attack.

Just when she was about to take them away with the help of the promised Pegasus.

The beautiful flute sound suddenly sounded.

Thetis turned her head and saw the promise holding a flute and playing the flute.

The sound of the flute was the gift that Hermes promised in connection with Io.

It is an artifact that can hypnotize even the hundred eyes of the hundred-eyed giant Argos.

So soon, Medea, whose eyelids were trembling, fell asleep peacefully in Thetis's arms.

And the violent sea monster Scylla also became quieter little by little.

And finally, he fell asleep leaning against the strait here.

At this point, Nuoyan stopped playing the flute and looked at the ocean goddess Thetis, who was walking towards him after gently placing Medea under the tree.

Seeing her not being affected at all, Nuoyan suddenly understood that this goddess was actually very strong and she could easily defeat this monster, but she just didn't want to do that.

"...Beautiful goddess, being too gentle may not be a good thing sometimes."

So when Thetis walked up to her and before she could say anything, Nuoyan said this to her.

Looking at her who was slightly stunned after hearing this, Nuoyan turned his head to look at the sea monster Scylla who was sleeping on the strait, and said: "If she was my former friend, then facing her now, I think I should not hesitate to draw my sword.”

Although Nuoyan saved his friend Actaeon who turned into a giant deer, that was because Actaeon was not conscious after death and had never killed anyone.

But the sea monster in front of her is different. Scylla has swallowed many people without knowing it until now. She has already lost her mind and completely turned into a monster.

Under such circumstances, Thetis's gentle protection seemed to be a kind of harm to Nuoyan.

She clearly has the ability to free Scylla, but she keeps Scylla suffering.

Thetis was silent,

She heard the meaning of the promise. She was a sage among the sea goddesses, and Thetis actually agreed with the words of the promise.

but......

"Sorry kid, I can't do it." Thetis replied softly, looking at her friend who had turned into a monster in front of her with sad eyes.

"I know she is in pain, and I want to give her relief, but..."

Hearing such an answer and looking at her with her head lowered, Nuoyan couldn't help but smile and said with some emotion: "Goddess Thetis, you are indeed a very gentle goddess. I wonder if you, Goddess, would like to Leave this matter to me?"

"I think there will be a trial to decide this matter."

"Judgment?" Thetis looked at Nuoyan doubtfully.

"Well...it just so happens that this is an agreement I made with the goddess. Although I haven't reached the end of the road yet, I think she must have been waiting for a long time."

After hearing this, Thetis looked at the sea monster Scylla who was quietly looking at the promise of what she was thinking. After a short silence, she smiled lightly.

"Then, I'll leave it to you, kid."

"...Huh?" Such a happy agreement made Nuoyan stunned for a moment, and he looked at Thetis in surprise.

"I believe you, and I have heard many stories about you." Thetis replied softly.

The matter of the promise has naturally been spread among the gods.

And those stories, plus this meeting, it is not difficult for Thetis, a sage in the ocean, to judge whether Nuoyan is trustworthy.

What's more...

"You who are abandoned by fate and favored by fate will create the most beautiful future." Thetis said the most important reason softly.

So Nuoyan, who understood it, did not say anything else.

He took out a painting,

It was a painting from a long time ago, and there was a sword on the painting.

It was the sword of judgment of the goddess of justice Themis.

This sword will protect Nuoyan until he reaches the end of the hero's path he has chosen.

And with it, Nuoyan took out the pure white brush and drew the scales of judgment.

So the goddess of justice Themis, holding the scales of judgment, wearing a white robe and a golden crown, and with her eyes covered with a blindfold that symbolizes absolute justice, just walked out of the painting.

"Long time no see, goddess Themis."

Looking at the white-robed goddess holding the scales of judgment in front of him, even Nuoyan couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

A lot of things really happened in the past year or so.
