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

"What are you talking about Artemis? How could I possibly steal followers from the noble Queen Hera?"

The smile on Athena's face was still as elegant and calm as ever. She stood up, looked into the distance with her golden eyes, and said softly: "I won't tell you anymore, after all, Nyx, the goddess of the night, she... .has come to the human world.”

...

...

Nyx, the goddess of the night, drove the carriage of the night from the underworld to the human world.

She is one of the five earliest primordial gods born in ancient Greek mythology, besides Chaos, the creator god. She is the essence and incarnation of night.

In its myths and legends, this goddess is the adoptive mother of the god King Zeus.

She used her power to protect Zeus in the night, so that Zeus could grow up under the eyes of her father, the second-generation God King.

And finally overthrew the divine court and built today's Olympus.

At this moment, in the Kingdom of Calydon, almost everyone was lighting a torch. While lighting up the night, they gathered in front of the sacrificial tower according to the oracle.

They raised their heads and looked at the lit altar, waiting for the arrival of the great god. At the same time, almost everyone's eyes contained expectations, looking forward to being chosen by the beautiful goddess.

Thus, under the gaze of everyone, with the help of gods, he defeated the terrifying monster, and finally became a great hero who was admired and praised by everyone!

"Well...how do you think the goddess Athena will choose you?" Atalanta was standing almost outside the crowd with Nuoyan, leaning against a big tree. .

In the center of the crowd were the royal family and nobles of the Kingdom of Calydon.

Atalanta looked at such a scene from afar, the corners of her mouth raised, and she even felt that she was a little strange now.

After all, she knew the answer from the beginning, and the person who was about to be chosen by the goddess was not her, but Atalanta was still extremely excited right now!

Atalanta is looking forward to Athena's arrival, and even more looking forward to Athena's final choice of promise under the gaze of everyone tonight.

Because Atalanta can now imagine how wonderful the expressions of those in the Calydon Palace will be by then!

And when she thought of this, Atalanta found that the corners of her mouth couldn't stop rising... At this moment, the pure Atalanta didn't know that this feeling was called - pleasure!

Promise heard Atalanta ask this from the side, but she didn't have time to answer.

"Promise, beautiful Miss Hunter, I finally found you!" The red-haired young man Meleager squeezed out of the crowd and came to the two of them with a smile on his face.

Seeing this, even Atalanta was slightly stunned.

Because she already knew the identity of Meleager, who was the prince of the Kingdom of Calydon, and during the hunting sacrifice that day, Atalanta also saw with her own eyes the bravery and leadership shown by Meleager. temperament.

Therefore, when Athena came here, there was no doubt that he was the first to come to the goddess, and he was also the brave man most qualified to be chosen and favored by the goddess Athena in the hearts of most people in the kingdom!

Even if it were Atalanta a few days ago, she would probably think that Athena would choose Meleager in the end.

So Atalanta really didn't expect that Meleager actually gave up everything and came here to look for them when he almost had the right time and place!

"Aren't you going to greet the goddess?" Atalanta couldn't help but ask.

Seeing that Atalanta actually took the initiative to speak to him, under Nuoyan's somewhat speechless gaze, Meleager suddenly panicked and answered with a little stumbling: "Father, father and mother, they did let me Go meet the goddess.

But I think this shouldn't be like this...and since he is the brave man chosen by the wisest goddess among the gods, Athena, he must be the most heroic person here tonight, so In fact, it doesn’t matter where you stand! "

Hearing this, looking at Meleager with a serious face in front of her, Atalanta looked at Promise who was laughing beside her. She naturally recalled that that night, when Actaeon turned into a monster, The scene of coming to Nuo Yan’s side regardless of everything.

So at this moment, the dissatisfaction accumulated in Atalanta's heart in the palace finally dissipated a lot.

And just then...

"Then who do you think will be chosen by the goddess of wisdom tonight... What if that person is you?"

A soft voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears.

When Meleager heard this question, he almost subconsciously expressed all his thoughts, saying: "If that person is me, I am willing to transfer that honor to Promise tonight... ....When he won the three hunting sacrifices and sought this gift from the goddess Artemis, it all belonged to him."

"It seems that Chiron has indeed taught a group of outstanding students... If this child is not here tonight, then there is no doubt that my choice is you."

Hearing this answer, and hearing the beautiful voice caressing his body and mind like a clear spring, Meleager subconsciously turned his head.

Then he saw the goddess in a flawless white dress, who was as beautiful as the most dazzling pearl among all the goddesses, slowly walking past him.

She smiled softly and came to Nuoyan.

Her golden eyes stared at the black-haired, green-eyed boy and extended her hand to him.

"Let's go." Athena said, "I'm here to pick you up."

......

[That night, among the gods of Olympus, the goddess of wisdom Athena, who shone like the most dazzling pearl, held your hand. ]

[She took you, step by step, to the world. ]

[Under the incredible gaze of everyone, she announced to everyone that you are the most heroic hero in the eyes of this goddess of wisdom! ]

......

"Damn Athena!"

Under the full moon of the night, at the highest point of the Calydon Palace.

The moon goddess Artemis looked down, and all the people automatically made way, and then Athena took Nuoyan's hand and led him step by step to the scene in the center of the crowd.

Artemis couldn't help but clench her fists and said angrily: "You are eating alone. I obviously want Nuoyan too, and I want to snatch him from Hera!"

"...Can you explain to me what's going on now?"

"What, what's going on!" Artemis tilted her head and said with unhappiness on her face: "Isn't it obvious at a glance? Athena wants little Nuoyan to become her believer and wants to snatch him from Hera..."

As she spoke, Artemis's tone gradually weakened.

She blinked her sky blue eyes and looked at the goddess who had arrived beside her.

Looking at the beautiful golden curls flowing from the crown under the moonlight, the flawless face and the beautiful amber eyes...

"Huh?!"

Artemis opened her eyes wide, looked at the most noble goddess among the gods in front of her, subconsciously raised her voice and shouted: "Hera, why are you here?!"

Chapter 50 Athena: Hera, you don't know yet? (5k)

In the Kingdom of Calydon,

When the flawless goddess came to everyone with the hero she chose, the stars falling from the night sky also fell in front of them.

Pegasus flapped his silver wings, carrying Nuoyan and Athena, and flew away from the Kingdom of Calydon under the attention of everyone.

This is the gift Athena gave Nuoyan, a story that will undoubtedly be sung by bards and spread in ancient Greece.

The goddess of wisdom Athena favored the hero who controlled the falling stars.

"Hehe, are you happy? How does it feel to be the center of attention?" Athena sat sideways behind Nuoyan on Pegasus, and the breeze in the night sky blew her silver hair.

She smiled and said to Nuoyan: "Do you feel that you are one step closer to becoming the hero that everyone in the world knows and praises?"

"...Goddess Athena, you have always remembered it."

"Of course." Athena nodded and replied: "After all, this is our agreement... I will witness you become the bright star of this era, and at the end of your road, I will prepare the most magnificent ending for you!"

"But the gift given to you today is not over yet."

Athena said, leaning towards Nuoyan.

When she hugged Nuoyan and the two of them were close together, her hand also gently held Nuoyan's hand that was holding the reins.

"Let everyone in the kingdom tonight witness the moment when you turn into the brightest meteor in the night sky and fall to the world."

Grabbing the silver meteor was the oracle given to Nuoyan by Athena. She told Nuoyan that as long as he could tame Pegasus, he could defeat the wild boar of Calydon.

But what Athena didn't say at the time was that, in fact, since Nuoyan met the goddess of fate, Clotho, and walked all the way to the end of this trial, it was actually the moment when Nuoyan really caught the meteor!

Because before that, Nuoyan had already faced the angry moon goddess Artemis and changed the fate of the giant deer Actaeon.

And when he faced Pegasus, he broke the prophecy of the goddess of fate about himself and created a future that the goddess of fate could not believe!

Therefore, from that moment on, the matter had come to an end.

The hunting of the Calydonian boar is no longer a trial faced by the hero, but a reward given by a goddess to this young man, this young man who longs to be a hero.

Let the boy become a person of public attention, and let his name spread widely in ancient Greece from then on!

The prophecy of the goddess of fate is indeed accurate in a sense, and it cannot be changed, unless the god with the most special power in ancient Greek mythology intervenes.

Because the work of the three goddesses of fate is actually equivalent to writing a long-destined program for the world.

But Nuoyan was abandoned by the goddess of fate but favored.

Therefore, his fate was not completely certain from the beginning, but only a possibility.

And in that trial that no one, no god believed, but only Athena believed, the real reason why the goddess of fate Clotho gave such a prophecy was actually because even if she looked into the future a hundred times, Nuoyan's ending was always fall, without exception!

In fact, even Athena's eyes could not see the future in which the promise survived. The future she later saw for Clotho was because the promise was fulfilled, and she succeeded from countless future possibilities. captured.

Therefore, at this moment, Athena would sit on the Pegasus, clinging to Nuoyan, grabbing Nuoyan's hand, and holding the reins with him.

Then, under the eyes of the Calydon people and several gods who had been looking up and looking at them, at the highest point of the night sky, they turned into the falling meteors and fell in the direction of the Calydon wild boar.

The Calydon Hunt, which should have involved dozens of heroes, and spread all the glory of future legends, are now given to one person!

So that night, everyone witnessed a meteor falling into the world, and also witnessed the birth of a star.

"It's shocking, isn't it." In the Kingdom of Calydon, Atalanta suddenly spoke up and said to Meleager, who was watching the scene from afar: "But... in fact, this scene is... Far less than when he caught the shooting star a few days ago."

Atalanta said this because of the moon god Artemis, who was the only human being who was lucky enough to witness it in that situation at that time.

Meleager was silent for a while, then he laughed and said, "He is really close to achieving it...becoming a great hero known to everyone on this continent."

"Then, will the heroic mode come to an end?"

After Atalanta said this, both of them were silent for a while.

After a while,

"In every sense of the word, Teacher Chiron is really confused!" Meleager couldn't help but sigh.

"That's right." Atalanta nodded, reaching a consensus with the man in front of her for the first time, and said: "Let him go down the mountain, your teacher is really confused!"

"But in fact, it's mainly because of Jason!"

"Jason?" Atalanta tilted her head.

"That's right, only that fool can take the promise down the mountain... Beautiful hunter lady, if you meet him in the future, you don't need to hesitate, you can just beat him!" Meleager! Los said to Atalanta with a serious face.

Atalanta thought for a while, and finally nodded and said: "Well, if we meet in the future, I will do that."

...

...

then,

Now on the other side.

"Um...so it's over?"

That day Ma Pegasus ran with all his strength, and not long after he turned into a shooting star and rushed towards the Calydon boar on the ground.

Nuoyan, who got off Pegasus and stood on the grass in the forest, was blinking his clear emerald eyes at the Calydon boar that had turned into a corpse in front of him.

Promise couldn't help but look a little confused for a moment.

After all, even in the end, he actually didn't see the full picture of the Calydon boar.

"Of course, after all, I have already appeared." Athena replied with a smile.

"So...the fate of Actaeon, Meleager and the others is also over?" Nuoyan hesitated for a while, then looked at Athena in confusion.

"Well, it's okay, but what exactly happened." As she said that, Athena paused slightly and tilted her head, looking far away at the temple of the goddess of destiny.

"You still need to wait for the petite goddess of destiny to come to you in person."

"That's it."

Hearing this, the expression on Nuoyan's face also softened, and he nodded and said: "Then I can finally feel relieved, so that I can continue to seek revenge from them and issue ship tickets... By the way. Goddess Athena, can I go see Hercules now?"

Nuo Yan, relieved, turned his head and looked at Athena again. Naturally, he still remembered what Athena said back then, and Nuo Yan was actually not an impatient person.

But after all, it was the Twelve Trials of Heroes that would become world-famous in the future.

And after transforming into a heroic spirit, you will have twelve lives!
