The Greece Antagonist

Above the Sea of Okeanos, three chariots raced past, slicing through the waves as they moved forward.

The previously ferocious demon-god Phorcys, now bore over a hundred arrows on his back; his left pincer was chopped off, and his hefty lower snake body was covered with charred marks from flames and the gruesome wounds from divine incantations.

Facing the encirclement of three Chief Gods and thirty-three Lesser Deities, even Poseidon himself would have been beaten black and blue.

Not to mention Phorcys, the fallen demon-god.

Thus, the father of sea monsters, who had narrowly escaped demise on the spot, realized he was the one being lured and immediately fled like a dog who had lost its home, madly rushing into the depths of the ocean.

Apollo, Athena, and Artemis took turns pursuing and intercepting but did not hasten to strike. They instead used their weapons to continuously inflict more wounds on Phorcys.

——Typically, a seasoned hunter will first gradually wear down the prey's strength and will to resist before waiting for the right moment to strike.

As for what constitutes the right opportunity,

For Apollo, it was how to end the battle gracefully;

For Artemis, it was when close to Athena's chariot;

For Athena, preferably right on Poseidon's doorstep…

The three Chief Gods, each with their own thoughts, chased each other over the sea, unhurriedly, forcing Phorcys to continue his desperate flight, gradually draining his inherent divinity.

Finally, after nearly half an hour of escape, the heavily scarred father of sea monsters realized it was no use and furiously turned his massive body, spewing a spray of ghastly green venom.

However, neither the light that dissolved filth nor the arrows that purified disease, nor even the shields flickering with runes, could break through this venom, which could only be dissipated on the spot, turning into a stench-filled poisonous fog.

"Hiss~!"

Phorcys on the sea surface, seeing the three chariots closing in fan-shaped, let out an angry hiss, wielding his enormous pincers and commanding the waves, lunging forward in a last-ditch effort to fight.

Tsk, a scapegoat?

Really clean and decisive…

Looking at the sea monster father ahead who had turned from fleeing to charging, Athena frowned slightly, a trace of regret in her eyes.

At the same time, Apollo, who had been chasing the whole way, also ran out of patience, gracefully raised his hand, and pulled back the silver longbow to its full extent.

Accompanied by the sanctifying voices of the nine Muse Goddesses, a silver Light Arrow gradually appeared on the bowstring.

Upon closer inspection, the Light Arrow was made of countless secret writings, containing immense Divine Power.

May this obstacle burn away like chaff under this strike!

Apollo looked down proudly at the ugly creature on the sea surface, ready to bring down the judgment from the light.

"Move aside!"

However, just as he was aligning his posture and angle, about to finish off his prey, his sister Artemis's Sacred Deer Chariot came barreling from behind, first making him stagger, and then charging diagonally across the shooting range, heading straight for Athena's chariot.

"Luo En, come help me drive~!"

With that cheery shout reaching his ears, Apollo's face turned dark as a storm.

At that moment, Athena set up her Aegis Shield, unapologetically keeping Artemis at bay.

"He's busy! Don't you have twenty Nymphs? Isn't that enough to drive for you?"

"Don't you also have three Lesser Deities? Why persist in clinging to my aunt's Lesser Deity?"

Artemis wasn't foolish, she immediately launched a verbal offensive using Hestia as her reasoning.

"The rookie inevitably needs experience; I'm just helping aunt by guiding him!" Athena retorted coldly.

"I can do that too! I'm the Hunting God, who better to teach the ways of the hunt?" Artemis argued with equal conviction.

As she spoke, Artemis demonstrated her superb chariot-driving skills, driving the two golden-horned deer alongside Athena's celestial steed chariot, her longing gaze fixed on the "top prize" who had been taken over at the front of the chariot.

As Athena became more suspicious and sensed something was amiss, she looked solemnly at a certain improper fellow, the Spear of Victory with its golden tassels tilted forward, the message clear without words.

Under the watchful eyes of the two Goddesses, Luo En couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle.

Another deadly question.

Whether he chose A or B, there would be a reckoning in the days to come.

So…

Instantly, Luo En shoved the reins into Little Medusa's hands and promptly grabbed a bronze spear, decisively jumping off the chariot, unleashing Divine Power, and righteously headed for option C above the sea surface.

"Quick! It's trying to escape! Don't let that menace get away!"

"?"

At this point, Phorcys, the father of sea monsters, already at the end of his rope and ready for a do-or-die struggle, wore a confused expression.

The two goddesses, locked in confrontation, saw the long-legged "grand prize" make a run for it, and lost their buffer— their gazes intertwined in mid-air, sparking faint but intense friction.

Without a second word, they simultaneously pulled on the reins and charged straight at Phorcys on the sea's surface.

If that was the case, then it was time for the old rule.

——The winner takes all!

——Whether it's the right to the spoils of this hunt or the privilege to distribute and indulge in them afterward!

For a moment, Phorcys, the target of both the Goddess of the Hunt and the Goddess of War, felt the pressure that Luo En had previously endured.
Experience more on empire

Once the decision was made, Athena and Artemis, both vying subtly, attacked in unison.

The Goddess of Wisdom was the first to lean back, her supple back arching like a taut bowstring, an exaggerated arc forming, with layers of light patterns dancing on her golden-tasseled Spear of Victory.

——Victory, invoke thy name!

With Athena's silent chant, the Spear of Victory turned into a gruesome streak of golden light, fiercely shooting forward.

At this moment, Artemis, who had lost the initiative, was not in a hurry; as she lifted her bow of gold, she cast a meaningful glance behind, sending a significant look.

Apollo, watching from afar, instantly got the message and raised his own bow of silver, in sync with his sister.

They had grown up together, they understood each other's thoughts, they shared the same skills, and they had an unparalleled tacit understanding.

——Thou art the Rapid Shooting of Silver!

Silver Light Arrows were fired into the sky, piercing through the Magic Circle Diagram formed above Phorcys's head, then countless silver arrows rained down like a torrential downpour, simultaneously striking the vast body of the sea monster and, coincidentally, colliding with the onrushing Spear of Victory, intercepting it.

——Thou art the Piercing Star of Gold!

Almost at the same moment, Artemis, full of pent-up energy, also fired her sure shot.

The golden stream of light shot forward, deftly avoiding the silver arrows.

Shameless! She actually sought external help!

Seeing this, Athena couldn't help but glare indignantly at Artemis, accused of lacking martial ethics.

However, the Goddess of the Hunt showed no shame for this trickery; instead, she revealed a smile that implied it was all as it should be.

She had delivered that boy herself, half his life belonged to her, so what's wrong with a little help?

Therefore, this victory is mine, Athena!

Gauging the timing, Artemis's lips curled into a quiet smile, ready to close her eyes and savor the prey's last cries.

Unwilling to concede defeat, Athena too raised her hand forward, making a grasping motion to further activate the Divinity of the Spear of Victory, hoping to break through the blockade of silver arrows quickly.

At that moment, an unexpected development occurred.

Several Silver Light Arrows, deflected by the Spear of Victory, happened to collide with the golden arrow hurriedly shot by Artemis.

With a harsh metallic clang, the golden arrowhead was nudged off just a slight angle, careening toward the sea.

As they say, a miss is as good as a mile, and this was a prime example.

However, Artemis was no longer concerned with whether she hit her prey.

Because at that moment, a rushing figure was right in the path of the falling golden arrow.

"Be careful!"

In the nick of time, the Goddess of the Hunt raised her hand hastily, forcibly dispersing the Magic Power of the golden arrow.

"Hum!"

A vast golden ether torrent kicked up a fierce storm.

As Phorcys closed in, his body urgently swung around, wielding his spear defensively, Luo En, unable even to stand steadily in his prepared stance, felt a fine sweat break out on the back of his neck.

"Pfft!"

At the same time, the Spear of Victory broke through the silver arrow rain, striking Phorcys's head directly, the explosion of Divine Power instantly blowing away half of the sea monster father's skull, marking the end of the hunt.
