🕑 Added 2024-12-18 16:47:30 +0000 UTCPromise raised his head and looked up at the delicate and lovely goddess in front of him.
“Clotho, I...”
"You don't have to say anything more." Clotho interrupted Promise, shaking her head gently, and said, "I know what you're going to say... Don't worry, things have already come to this, I won't be willful anymore, I will go back to my sisters."
Being willful once was enough. Clotho accepted everything calmly, and her proficiency even made people feel sorry for her.
But she was indeed used to it, and she probably guessed it from the beginning.
After all, in this young man, the fate she saw had never come true.
"It's just that as a goddess, I think it is necessary for me to remind you at this moment."
Saying that, Clotho looked at Promise seriously and said, "Since Athena is the one you chose among all the gods, you'd better tell her everything frankly, otherwise... the wrath of deceiving the gods, I don't think you would want to know."
That was the wisest goddess.
That was one of the three virgin goddesses.
That was also the most humane ancient Greek god.
Therefore, in a sense, the buffs have all been stacked.
Saying that, looking at Promise in front of her, Clotho couldn't help but laugh, and the smile even took on a pleasant, watching-a-show taste.
"And then..."
Clotho paused slightly and looked at Promise with a gentle smile.
Then she raised her voice slightly and said the words that were both the beginning and the end of their relationship.
"Promise, you have made the goddess of fate... ashamed of you!"
......
......
"Is it Over?"
When Promise left Clotho and returned to Athena, the flawless goddess spoke in a calm tone, but Promise, who glanced at her, somehow smelled a hint of vinegar.
"Goddess Athena, didn't you promise not to peek?"
Promise wasn't flustered at all, perfectly showing his true colors of manipulating the goddess.
Without waiting for Athena to respond, he glanced around and asked, "Where are Goddess Hecate and Goddess Nyx?"
"...Promise, I am your goddess."
This is my home court, you better take it seriously!
"Yes, of course you are my goddess, wise Goddess Athena." Promise winked at Athena and chuckled, "But it is precisely because you are my goddess, my dear goddess, don't you think you should be more generous?"
"You know, among so many gods, I only chose you."
Athena's reason told her that Promise was just coaxing her, saying things to make her happy, she had to resist, she couldn't just be manipulated by her believer.
After all, she was the wise Athena, not a fool like Hera or Artemis!
"Well, you're quite right."
Athena nodded.
'Forget it, after all, he is my believer, it's okay to spoil him a little.'
'It's definitely not because I am happy!'
Hopeless... hopeless... In the distance, the Pegasus eating grass couldn't help but shake its head at the wise goddess.
Wait, Brother Horse, this is the underworld, where can you find grass to eat here!
Then, Athena extended her hand to Promise.
This time, She didn't ask if Promise was ready or not, after all, there was no time for such meaningless words.
"Let's go." The flawless goddess proclaimed loudly to the hero she favored,
"Let us fulfill the promised oath!"
Pegasus once again spread its holy wings.
And this, without a doubt, was the last time.
It carried the young man away from the underworld, under the gaze of the underworld gods, back to the human world, and ran in the darkness, towards the center where the darkness converged, Mount Olympus, which was burned by the sun, and where Typhon, the ancestor of all demons, was.
Seeing the running figure of Pegasus and the goddess sitting on it.
The Titans and monsters crawling out of the abyss from the ground couldn't help but raise their heads and let out angry roars, but no one stopped them, as if they had received some order.
So, Pegasus successfully carried Promise to Olympus again.
And in the flames, they saw Typhon standing quietly in the ruins of the temple of the God King Zeus, waiting for their arrival.
Even though the flames of the falling sun made Pegasus feel extremely uncomfortable, but this time it did not leave, not even a single complaint.
Facing the monster in front of him, which symbolized absolute disaster and destruction, Brother Horse was even braver than most gods at this moment.
Not only did it stand firmly in front of it, but it also did not show any timidity.
Typhon also lowered its head, its scarlet and violent eyes looking at the young man who had grabbed the thunder and came in front him.
At this moment, the young man was wearing a pure white close-fitting garment, which was a gift that the goddess of wisdom had always prepared for him.
Woven by Athena herself, it was originally a gift that only beings of the main god level could receive...
In ancient Greek mythology, Athena was the goddess of wisdom, as well as the goddess of war and art.
And at this moment, Promise, dressed in white, was pure and flawless, just like Athena.
Looking at Promise, Typhon was silent for a long time at this moment.
Then it looked at the flawless goddess, who came with the young man.
Athena naturally knew what it was wondering, so, she smiled elegantly, saluted Typhon gracefully, then turned and left without any hesitation...
She took the stage, but that was just to guide and bring the young man to the monster.
"Zeus said that the one who is qualified to seize his thunder and come before me will be an existence I absolutely cannot imagine."
For a moment, the ancient Greek monster Typhon, as tall as a mountain, just like in mythology, as if it could touch the sky by raising its head and roll up a storm that would destroy the world by flapping its wings.
Said to Promise, "I have to admit, he succeeded, because I really didn't expect it to be you... Promise."
Hearing this, Promise looked up at Typhon in surprise and said, "You know me?"
The latter nodded and said, "I have been watching everything in this world, and you have defeated my children more than once, even though I don't care about their life or death... the nine-headed Hydra, the Chimera that made the earth desolate.
So how could I not know you?"
Promise laughed and said, "I thought you would be very angry, after all, I am only a human being, but I am standing in front of you at this moment."
Typhon, however, shook his head and said, "The night stopped for you, the goddess of wisdom guided you forward, the king of Olympus recognized you and let you have thunder, and and even the goddess of fate was willing to sacrifice her life for you and offer me the fruit of the day!
Why can't you stand in front of me!"
As Typhon said this, it stood up.
It spread his wings and set off a devastating storm.
The storm blew away the burning flames around.
"In fact, it's my honor, let's start painting.
Let's draw together, the last painting in your hand, no matter what the result, it will undoubtedly satisfy your dream and shock the gods and even the world!"
It seems that It had indeed been watching this world and knew everything about the young man.
Hearing Typhon's words, Promise nodded.
But there was not much surprise in his heart, after all, his dream, and his oath with Athena had always been a hot topic in this world.
But just at this time,
Suddenly there was the sound of horses neighing from the sky horse.
Promise and Typhon looked up subconsciously, and then they saw the sun chariot that had fallen.
Because of Typhon, the heavenly horses of the sun were frightened and fled to Greece, and the sun chariot was destroyed, but now they have been retrieved, and even the chariot has been repaired.
And the only god in the world, who had the ability to forge and repair in such a short period of time was obviously the only one, Promise's cheap teacher— Hephaestus, the god of craftsmen.
As for the one who found the hiding places all over the world and was now driving the chariot of the sun, running in the dark sky...
Promise looked at the figure of the girl on the sun chariot, was stunned for a while, then suddenly turned around and glared at the Pegasus beside him.
The latter's face was full of innocence as he turned his head away, not looking at Promise.
He looked humble as if speaking, "I don't know, it has nothing to do with me, don't bother looking for me."
That day, on the Argo, the girl summoned the Pegasus and sought its help, and met the goddess of wisdom.
What did she say when she saw the goddess of wisdom?
Actually, it was no big deal, the girl just asked the goddess if she could do something for him, just like everything he had done and changed so far.
Then, the wise goddess answered her, there was indeed one thing.
That was to bring the sun back to earth for the young man.
Because...
"This is the painting he has always wanted to paint, so how can destruction and darkness be used as the tone of the painting?"
The sun chariot was running in the sky.
Although Promise she had a little dark expression on his face, and blamed his brother Pegasus for not being sensible and involving her, he had to admit that when he saw the sun chariot running in the sky, it was as if his heart had a telepathy, and he guessed the reason.
And so, he was really happy.
Then, a golden bow appeared in his hand.
It was the bow of Apollo, the god of light.
And a silver arrow.
It was the arrow of Artemis, the moon goddess.
Promise nocked the arrow onto the bowstring, turned, and aimed it at the darkened sky.
At that moment, the power of two Olympian gods emerged within Promise.
Back when he had first stood in the halls of Olympus, he had loosed such an arrow before.
At that time, however, he had needed the assistance of the goddess Hecate to barely harness the strength of the two deities. Now, he no longer needed help.
Although it was only for a short period of time, Promise did reach the very pinnacle of what a human could achieve.
After all, what he grasped when he came to Typhon was not just thunder.
The eleven paintings of the Olympian gods that had been completed.. represented not only absolute trust in Promise, but also… their most doting blessings.
Promise released the moon goddess's arrow.
The arrow shot forth brilliantly—not as a dazzling energy blast, but as something seemingly ordinary, flying toward the sky shrouded in darkness.
Yet, the moment it touched the darkened sky—
Boom!
In just an instant, the sky lit up.
Ancient Greece, which was shrouded in darkness and destruction due to Typhon's arrival, ushered in daylight in that singular moment.
The majestic divine power cleansed everything.
From the sun chariot, the young girl glanced down at the boy who looked distantly back at her. Their eyes met from afar before she steered the sun chariot onward.
With the assistance of the god of craftsmen, Hephaestus, and the little witch beside her, she brought the sun back to the heavens.
So at this moment, a dazzling light shone down.
The flames engulfing Olympus were extinguished, and the sacred mountain found peace.
Promise lowered the bow and arrow, raised the thunder, and turned toward the blazing light to confront the monstrous Typhon head-on!
