The Greece Antagonist

"Ora, a female companion of the Goddess of the Hunt, Artemis, a chaste female hunter.

She had incurred the Goddess' wrath by vying with Artemis in chastity and androgynous beauty. Nemesis, at Artemis' request, allowed the God of Wine, Dionysus, to rape Ora.

Consequently, Ora went mad and became the 'man-slayer'."

When her twins were born, she ate one of them, while Artemis saved the other—the calling god, Icarus.

Thereafter, Zeus turned her into a gentle breeze, ending the tragedy..."

Recalling the records about this breeze goddess in the mythology of Greece, Luo En, as the future criminal, felt enormous pressure.

He wasn't exactly a righteous man, but to force himself on her and then cause mother and child to kill each other, was somewhat beyond his limits.

Moreover, he did not eat just anything...

Leaving his vast vegetable garden untouched at home, spending effort on a bean sprout in the wilds, unless his head was full of pits.

But just as Luo En contemplated how to avoid this dangerous topic, Artemis had already made the choice for him.

—The moonlight scattered on the sea wavered and flickered, startling the three-person squad who were resting slightly.

Then, as if receiving instructions from some mysterious force, their expressions became serious, they dispersed from each other, and each ran in different directions, gradually drifting away.

Ora, responsible for the coast, headed west across the beach and walked into the coastal forest, bow and arrow in hand, vigilantly surveying her surroundings.

However, after moving deep into the forest for a good while, the scenery remained unchanged, all trees and vines.

Here and there, startled birds and squirrels darted about, causing the highly strung female hunter to almost release her arrow.

Finally, after patrolling for about a quarter of an hour, the frustrated breeze goddess, unable to bear it any longer and believing herself to be alone, spat on a tree root and couldn't help cursing quietly.

"There's nothing here at all, what does Artemis want us to check? Has that woman recently become so infatuated with that smelly man that her brain has burned out?"

"Are you talking about me?"

At that moment, a ghostly voice came from behind, and Ora instinctively turned around, her body stiffening, pupils quaking.

Under the caressing moonlight, the "brain damaged" Goddess of the Hunt stood in the mottled tree shade, smiling warmly at her.

And beside the Goddess, a certain "smelly man" was raising his hand to his forehead, as if he could hardly bear to look directly at her.

Cursing herself for running into the main subject, she couldn't imagine anything more embarrassing.

And one of them was her immediate superior.

"Gulp—"

The clear sound of swallowing resonated loudly in the silent forest.

Ora's proud face turned a shade paler as she swallowed a large gulp of saliva.

"When did you get here?"

"Right when you were talking about wanting to sit in my seat..."

Artemis stepped closer, her smile gentle and radiant.

—Only, the hint of amusement in those silver eyes caused Ora's hair to stand on end, her body trembling involuntarily.

As a native of the Age of Greek Gods, she was of course well aware of the female deities' cunning, their true nature.

To insult one's Chief Goddess and to be caught in the act.

She could almost foresee that her fate would probably not be a pleasant one.

However, Ora's gaze suddenly fell upon their hands tightly clasped together under the moonlight, her expression one of shock.

"You and this smelly man actually have an affair?"

A moment later, the female hunter's eyes lit up as if she had thought of something, a triumphant glee spreading across her face as she scoffed smugly,

"I won't speak of your affair with this smelly man, but as a trade, your Highness, you also didn't hear anything just now!"

"..."

Luo En sighed deeply, looking at the self-satisfied breeze goddess before him, he closed his eyes, giving up resistance.

He had seen those seeking death before, but one as eager as her to be reborn, she was a first.

It was only because she had been too well protected by her parents that she became so impudent and presumptuous.

Had she not considered, what it meant for Artemis, the virgin Goddess, to be holding a stranger's hand and brazenly appear before her?

Moreover, you are now alone...

Having seen all this, instead of thinking about saving herself, she had the audacity to threaten and mock her own Chief Goddess?

Young lady, how many lives do you have?

At that moment, hearing Ora call him "smelly man" repeatedly, Artemis' face grew even more radiantly smiling as she raised her hand slightly.

"Buzz!"

In the blink of an eye, the cold moonlight in the night sky poured down like a silver river, pressing directly onto Ola.

"Bang!"

The proud goddess of the breeze, struck by lightning, fell to her knees without any resistance, with the bones throughout her body making a sound as if they were unable to bear the weight.

Thereupon, Artemis turned her head and looked tenderly at her lover.

"Which do you prefer? From the front or from behind?"

"..." Hearing the words that slipped out, Luo En couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

This topic seemed somewhat hazardous, didn't it?

"Haven't decided?"

Artemis blinked, no trace of annoyance on her face, just a smile as she beckoned with her finger.

"Crawl over here..."

In an instant, Ola, who was kneeling on the ground, felt a searing pain in her heart as an irresistible force spread throughout her body with her boiling divine blood.

After a moment, the once haughty goddess of the breeze crawled over the fallen leaves on all fours, stiff and mechanical like a puppy just learning to walk, until she reached the couple's side.

Artemis lowered her arms slightly, her fair palm cradling the frightened face, her fingers gently scratching at Ola's chin, teasing her like a beautiful and irritable human-shaped dog.

"Stinky man? You are now kneeling right before him..."

"..."

Ola, unable to control her own body, couldn't speak, but her eyes seemed to dance with angry flames.

She had never suffered such humiliation in her life.

Not willing to accept this?

Seeing that defiant look, Artemis smiled even more gleefully.

As the Goddess of the Hunt, what she liked most were those quarry that were difficult to conquer.

"Snap!"

With a crisp snap of the fingers, Ola, prostrated on the ground, buried her head and rubbed her cheek against Luo En's trousers and then, beyond her control, opened her mouth and stuck out her tender tongue, bowing her head to lick the "stinky man's" foot.

Just like an oversized human-shaped dog, currying favor and closeness for its master...

Seeing that shiny saliva-covered tongue about to land on his foot, Luo En instinctively took a step back.

"What's the matter? Don't you like it?"

Seeing her lover's evasive reaction, Artemis tilted her head in confusion and looked at the heat rising visibly beneath Luo En.

Luo En looked at the face beneath his feet, full of shame and numbness, and sighed helplessly.

"It's not that..."

"She insulted you. This is the punishment she deserves!"

Artemis stared softly at her lover, speaking as a matter of course.

So it was because of this...

Looking at her pure yet crazed beauty under the moonlight, Luo En's heartbeat unconsciously quickened.

He had to say, he'd never met a girl so passionately proactive, so fervently enthusiastic to the utmost.

It was a feeling that made one want to flee yet irresistibly yearned to succumb.

In their brief exchange of gazes, Artemis showed a sweet smile, the very picture of compliance.

"But since you don't like it, I'll just let her go."

"Let her go? That's not what I meant."

Luo En smiled and shook his head slightly.

Let her go? What a joke!

She had witnessed everything between him and Artemis; if she were allowed to run off and gossip, it would be a huge problem.

Plus, he certainly hadn't missed her persistent muttering of "stinky man."

As a result of an excellent family tradition, he also happened not to be very forgiving.

However, compared to brute force which implied might over wisdom, Luo En was more concerned with maximizing benefits: "I meant, she can be put to other uses..."

Without hesitation, Artemis nodded: "As you wish, use her however you want!"

And with the Goddess' authorization, Luo En turned his gaze back to the human-shaped dog prostrated on the ground, his face showing a meaningful smile as a hint of scarlet glimmer appeared at the tip of his slightly raised right finger.

Filling the air with a sinister aura of bloodshed and frenzy, Ola, lying prone, displayed eyes filled with terror, shivering uncontrollably.
