The Greece Antagonist

The Goddess of the Underworld Moon, seeing herself as having been undermined, faced off against a certain Goddess of Justice, and they began to covertly compete.

On the surface, Luo En, playing the peacemaker, secretly stood behind Astraea, subtly fueling the fire, allowing the two goddesses to stand in opposition to each other because of him.

And so, within this delicately balanced atmosphere of conflict without rupture, the three of them completed the journey without incident.

The only pity was that the two were too restrained to come to blows.

Tensely driving at high speed, as the grand outline of a white marble metropolis stood resolute against the skyline under the sunlight, Luo En massaged his throbbing temples and let out a sigh of relief.

Athens, at last!

Goddess Athena, Goddess of the Hearth Hestia, two of the Twelve Olympians, were there. Anyone new planning to cause trouble would have to think twice. Your adventure continues at empire

After paying a few silver coins of Hera at the gate, Luo En eagerly led the two goddesses into the city.

The scale of Athens had doubled from what he remembered,

with the palace, the council hall, the theater, clubs, galleries, inns, markets, workshops, docks, and stadiums—every public building imaginable.

The bronze statue plaza that he remembered, dedicated to the gods and the City Builder of Athens, was more crowded with people in a hurry than before.

In it, Luo En even spotted the iconic figure of Medusa.

Goddess Pallas, a scion of the Pandion line, had brought a vast population to Athens by sea, along with advanced technologies in shipbuilding, agriculture, sailing, and smelting, contributing to Athens's prosperity.

For her achievements, she was honored with a statue and a monument.

Moreover, at the heart of the city, on the highest platform, within the towering temples dedicated to Goddess Athena and Goddess of the Hearth Hestia, this Medusa named Pallas stood to the left of Goddess Athena, while Goddess of Victory Nike stood on the right, both serving as Athena's arms of support.

Descending according to the terrain, eighty-eight statues clothed in gold, silver, and bronze armor, corresponding to the paths of the stars, stood above eighty-eight stellar charts along the road leading to the temple, guarding the goddess's chamber, unapproachable and austere.

Luo En felt a brewing power surging within the star charts, a spark of understanding in his eyes.

It seemed Athena had already obtained those 88 Sacred Robes from Hephaestus and had imbued them with the power of faith and divinity in a special way.

And according to a previous letter from Hestia, War God Mountain had also begun to secretly construct twelve zodiac structures corresponding to the constellations.

Combining Sacred Robes, zodiac structures, and human pillars would allow one to erode the divine authority of the heavens without leaving a trace, creating a private army rivaling the gods.

The faithful coming in and out to pray were endless.

The star charts they stepped upon gradually radiated a mysterious significance.

Clearly, Athena's plan was starting to bear fruit.

The only regret was that most of these Sacred Robes were without masters, still lacking a heroic group to truly wield their power.

After all, facing the all-powerful Zeus, even Athena wouldn't dare to make too conspicuous a move.

After briefly acquainting himself with the developments in Athens, Luo En did not linger in the bustling areas and led his visitors Astraea and Hecate through the Acropolis of Athens.

The Acropolis of Athens, built jointly by Athena and the Minosians, seemed to have taken the best features of the ancient defenses of Crete Island.

Therefore, with architecture and terrain tightly integrated, the craftsmanship was ingenious. Viewing the Acropolis as a cohesive whole, the hill itself acted as a natural base, and the structures of the buildings and the arrangements of various parts were coordinated with the natural contour; the whole complex formed a unified system, turning it into a fortified stronghold that could defend itself by taking advantage of the terrain, repelling any invasion step by step.

And the eighty-eight Sacred Robes and temples scattered atop the hill and along the path could promptly support any position.

Were they to face a beast tide similar to the past, Luo En reckoned that without the intervention of higher deities, any number of attackers would be akin to delivery of food.

Passing through the leaf-shaped mountain gate, the trio took a path resembling leaf veins, heading directly towards War God Mountain to the northwest.

As the light screen of border surveillance flickered, a small girl with bright eyes who had been lying in wait at the exit approached excitedly to peddle her wares.

"Hey, hey, visitors from afar, try my new herbal cupcakes, one for three copper coins of Athena, invigorating and..."

"Teacher?"

The cheerful voice stopped abruptly, and Luo En, gazing at the winged, pink-haired girl with colorful eyes before him, was equally astonished.
