The Greece Antagonist

Tens of miles away, Luo En looked back at the blood and dawn light interweaving, a chaotic Primordial Ocean, and couldn't help but reveal a very unkind smile on his face.

With "dear little sister" Eris taking the blame, the theft of the Sacred Garden should not be traced back to him.

Once the heat died down, he could present the Golden Apple to Medicine God Asclepius at War God Mountain and let his great-nephew advance the research on the elixir of immortality.

A double-digit count of Golden Apples, plus a large stash of precious herbs pilfered from the Sacred Garden, should be enough for the boy to produce something substantial.

Luo En was silently calculating, and the gloom in his eyes gradually dissipated quite a bit.

The main reason he had gone to great lengths to attempt claiming the Golden Apple and elixir of immortality was because of the hidden danger Hecate had left in him, which blocked his path to collect Divinity with the Dice of Chance and achieve Ascension to Chief God.

According to the Queen of the Underworld, as soon as his work of collecting Divinity was complete and he Ascended to Chief God, it would mean he had reached maturity.

By then, Hecate would most likely strike at him.

Having no confidence in confronting the Goddess of Hades, Luo En naturally dared not to persist on a singular path to the end.

For the time being, he could only carve out a new path, pondering how to bypass the task of collecting the twelve aspects of Divinity and achieve Ascension in another way, gaining some self-preservation ability in the imminent confrontation.

And the elixir of immortality envisioned by the Medicine God was a viable path.

As for whether it could succeed, all he could do was to try.

Luo En organized his thoughts repeatedly, and after confirming there were no oversights for the time being, he descended from the clouds, passed through the dense jungle, and arrived at a clear river, ready to wash away the fatigue and dust from his body and continue on his journey.

However, just as he scooped up a handful of water, he saw a somber, sorrowful figure standing on the opposite bank of the river upstream.

It was a middle-aged lady with relatively ordinary looks, but she was dressed in a white chiffon robe that looked simple and elegant; her beautiful curly hair cascaded from a pearl-encrusted tiara, which subtly added to her dignified air. From a distance, she was quite striking.

But at this moment, for some unknown reason, the lady was troubled and a sickly pallor was on her face. She furrowed her brows tightly and stared at her own reflection in the river. Her originally clear blue eyes gradually dimmed, filling with misery and sorrow.

Gradually, glistening tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes, sliding down her cheeks and dropping into the turbulent river.

Alas, in this day and age, every family has its troubles, and nobody has an easy life.

Luo En watched from a distance, sighed to himself a few times, and prepared to leave quietly, not wanting to disturb the solitary grief of the lady.

Unexpectedly, just as he was getting up, he saw that the lady, who had been on the riverbank, step into the rushing river water.

Soon, the surging water passed over her waist and reached her chest level.

Seeing that the lady still had a wooden expression and was stepping towards the middle of the river, Luo En quickly spoke up to stop her.

"Lady, please don't do anything foolish!"

Upon hearing the sudden shout, the lady stopped in her tracks, looked up at the kind-hearted person on the other bank, pursed her lips slightly, and shook her head softly.

"Young man, it has nothing to do with you; don't bother me..."

"It had nothing to do with me, but now that I've seen it, it does."

Luo En sighed and once again advised in a warm voice.

"Lady, why don't you come out first? There's nothing in this world that can't be overcome."

The lady's face darkened, and her chest heaved with anger.

"I'm not seeking death! I just wanted to be alone..."

However, perhaps because she moved too violently, the lady's feet slipped, and she plunged into the turbulent river water, bobbing up and down in the churning current.

Great, a good deed has gone awry.

Seeing this, Luo En couldn't help but smile wryly, immediately leaped forward, and jumped into the turbulent river. He locked his arms around the slender waist of the lady from behind, pulled her out of the water, and dragged her towards the bank.

But as soon as they reached the shallow water where they could stand, the standing lady pushed Luo En away with a forceful shove and huffed angrily.

"I have hands and feet of my own; I don't need your help!"

Luo En innocently raised his hands, made a gesture of acquiescence, and tactfully stepped aside.

As he watched the lady lift her robes and walk toward the shore with her head buried, one step deep and the next shallow, he couldn't help muttering in his heart.

This lady's temper is quite fierce; beware, too much anger harms the body.

"Pfft!"

Just then, the lady who had just reached the shore staggered, suddenly opened her mouth, and spat out a mist of blood, collapsing straight into the bushes by the river.

"..." Luo En was momentarily at a loss for words, with a forehead full of black lines.

This can work too? I might as well change my profession to a God of Curses.

Watching the unmoving lady on the riverbank, Luo En sighed, went over to the bushes, carried the lady on his back, and walked towards the woods not far away.

At night, as the burning branches crackled, the cheerful yellow flames danced, illuminating the vine-covered cave, flashing bright and dim.

Accompanied by a rustling sound, the lady inside the cave woke up from her stupor. She shook her groggy head, looked with the light seeping into the cave at the slate beneath her and the thick layer of leaves spread on top of it, touched the thin blanket covering her, and a complex expression flickered in her clear eyes.

"Awake? Care to come out and eat something?"

Outside the cave, Luo En, sitting in front of a fire, flipping over a few hunted pheasants and hares, smiled and asked.

After a moment of silence, the lady got up and walked out of the cave, lifting her skirt elegantly to sit down, and spoke slowly.
