Chapter 28: Time Passing 3
Miss Aphrodite, here is the report summarising the recent appearance of that unknown being. A priest dressed in quite scandalous clothing handed a report. Aphrodite took the report and read through it, she just raised an eyebrow linking this to the recent thing that accessed the system. "Hmmmmm, I assume that the appearance of this being is what made you move, Poseidon?"
Poseidon stared longingly at Aphrodite, not answering her as he only ogled the goddess. Aphrodite sighed when she saw the disgraceful display of the king of the Sea, if she didn't invoke her power this guy would definitely try something funny. Aphrodite only thought in disdain, she had no respect for the gods in her pantheon less Hestia and Nike.
Hestia has always been kind to everyone, she was the ideal of a loving older sister always taking care of her wayward siblings. Nike was a fair person, she was initially shocked with Nike when she didn't judge me off the rumours my 'fans' spread of me. She brought herself back on topic, "Answer me Poseidon, what do you know of this being?" Pink power expanded around the room creating a singularity of power, tapping into seduction she made sure that Poseidon would answer her with nothing but the truth.
As everybody was aware the reputation of the Greek gods was terrible. A prime example was the dog in front of her, he assaulted Medusa in Athena's temple and when her priest begged Athena for justice she was punished instead. This led to how Medusa was cursed and became a gorgon, a truly sad tale of betrayal due to the 'trustworthiness' of the Greek gods. Once told she would have the divine protection of Athena but abandoned for "disgracing" her by getting raped by a god.
"I know nothing, I heard this when I was in my palace." Aphrodite rolled her eyes, "Doing what? Oh let me guess you were having an orgy and only bothered to consult someone as it has been ages since someone accessed the system?" Aphrodite spoke in disdain as she saw him nodding as if what he did was the most normal thing to do.
Unable to stand looking at him any further she made him leave with her power as she continued studying the report. "Do you know anyone with better insight for this event?" Aphrodite asked her butler. He simply shook his head in denial saddened he couldn't serve her goddess properly.
Aphrodite took out her cell phone and started messaging, being one of the most popular and social goddesses she had many connections throughout the world. She simply asked around hoping that her simp's would give her any and all information they had. She also messaged Ema, she was an old acquaintance. Previously they met before Ema threw herself into the battlefield, this was something Aphrodite wondered about.
Ema was a beautiful goddess, she could have many simp's doing her bidding if she so wished but she kept going back to the battlefield. This personally did not make much sense for Aphrodite but what could she do, she couldn't control Ema. A few minutes later a message pinged on her phone, curious she unlocked her phone and saw that Ema replied to her.
She entered the chat and saw a reply that made a vein pop on her head "Why should I tell you woman, I owe u nothing." Followed by an emoji of an eye roll, she just replied "I assume that means you have information on the thing that invoked the system." With an emoji of a detective observing through a magnifying glass.
As it seemed Ema had some information Aphrodite decided to visit her no matter what Ema said. To her shock, Ema replied, "Bring some divine whine and we'll talk." Aphrodite was expecting more resistance, not this easy-going reply. Sending a thumbs-up emoji she left the chat and was imagining the potential fun she would have visited Ema.
