"...I remember your name is Lanti?"
Astraea looked at the girl in front of her, with a hint of doubt in her tone. This seemed to be Artemis's family?
People in the underworld were too fickle, and after not seeing them for a few years, she was a little worried that she might have recognized the wrong person.
Lanti nodded slightly, looked around quietly, and whispered: "Lady Artemis wants to see you."
Astraea tilted her head slightly. Did the Moon Goddess want to see her for something?
Gently rejecting Liu's request to go with her, Astraea followed Lanti to the Moon Goddess's residence in Orario.
……
"Asteria, thank you for accepting my unreasonable invitation."
Astraea was greeted by Artemis' gentle greeting.
"I can roughly guess the reason. This is indeed a difficult decision for you!"
Astraea replied that in the heavens, Artemis was a famous virgin goddess who forbade all impure interactions with the opposite sex. After she came to the mortal world, her followers only accepted girls, and they were even forbidden to hold hands with men.
But this kind of Artemis is a famous love-brained person in the heavens, and has been waiting for her destined Orion.
Artemis returned to Orario, and probably met Uranus, right? The founder of the guild probably said something, such as that people from another world could try her Orion Arrow, which no one could match, and even guaranteed that visitors from another world would be able to match the Orion Arrow.
Artemis is more worried about this, right?
Facing an unknown object, if she could really pick up her Orion Arrow, what would she do? So before the meeting, she planned to meet her and ask about the situation?
That must be the case!
Astraea was full of confidence.
Artemis shook her head slightly: "No, you are the one who is having a hard time."
When Artemis learned that someone was planning to attack the gods, her first reaction was to stop it. After hundreds of millions of years, the gods might have deserved to die, but it would be too unreasonable for them to be judged when they were considered to be good in the underworld.
Since we are in the underworld, we should follow the local customs and treat the gods of today according to the rules of the underworld.
In fact, she could barely accept it even if she really attacked the gods, but she chose to discredit the reputation of these gods in the lower world, take the interests of the people in the lower world as the starting point, and get rid of these gods on the premise that the people in the lower world would accept it...
Artemis found it hard to accept. Killing someone means destroying their heart?
The gods have clearly done their part for the underworld, but they are deceived into lowering their reputation in the underworld, all through lies and proxies... This is a bit too much.
Artemis thought so, and she believed that Astraea thought so too and was starting to make plans accordingly.
——That’s the goddess of justice. She won’t achieve her goals through unjust means.
Hearing this, Astraea was stunned.
What's the hardship for me?
Artemis inquired, "What kind of man is that?"
Astraea thought to herself, as expected, they are here to ask for information. Among all the gods, Artemis is good in everything, except that she is a little love-sick. She doesn't choose her lover herself, but looks for a destined lover chosen by her artifact. This is a bit confusing.
But there is something wrong with Astraea's destiny.
Among the gods, there is also a god of fate, and there are also people who, for fun, have tried to use the power of fate to force people to match with Artemis, but they have never succeeded.
——To be honest, the gods in heaven were also confused, and some of them thought that Artemis's Orion Arrow was just a cover.
The virgin goddess does not mean that a certain goddess is a virgin. That is also a kind of priesthood. There are some virgin gods in heaven, but only the goddess who carries the priesthood of the virgin goddess can restrain the charm of the goddess of beauty.
Since the Virgin Goddess is a priesthood, what will happen to the priesthood if the person holding the Virgin Goddess priesthood is no longer a virgin? Will there be any changes?
This is a question worth exploring - but the virgin goddesses in heaven are all more capable fighters than each other.
That would be fine, but Artemis is a virgin goddess, but she is in love?
Although she started in heaven, where impure interactions with the opposite sex are prohibited, pure interactions with the opposite sex are actually fine in her eyes.
The so-called pure relationship between the opposite sex does not mean spiritual love, but it means that it is not a momentary impulse, not ill-intentioned, not out of obligation to continue the bloodline, but both parties are out of true love in their hearts.
Stripping away all preconditions, to sum it up - as a virgin goddess, Artemis is not prohibited from having relationships, but the requirements are necessarily high, and she has not met the right person yet.
This is a big question. Why is there a virgin goddess priesthood when the deity is essentially a deity that longs for love? This kind of deity should essentially be a god of love.
At least the other virgin goddesses in heaven don't have a love-brained side, except Artemis.
Artemis's duties and personality are surprisingly unusual even in heaven.
Astraea thought that Artemis must be very conflicted. No matter how love-sick she was, she was still a virgin goddess after all. As a divine position of divine essence, it was impossible for it to have no influence on her personality.
At this time, she needs to give a push.
Astraea considered for a moment, took Artemis' hand, and said, "Isn't that a good person?"
"Nice guy?"
"Artemis, you should know how the gods act recklessly in the heavens. And not only the gods, but also the people in the underworld will become more or less arrogant after gaining power and becoming successful."
Astraea smiled and said, "But he doesn't do that at all. In fact, he cares more about ordinary people than the more powerful gods. Don't you think that's very gentle?"
Although Astraea felt that this was not gentleness at all, but a pure choice.
He doesn't become arrogant because he is facing danger, and he cares more about ordinary people because that is his position - but no matter what the purpose is, the result is this, so she can say whatever she wants.
Artemis tilted her head in confusion and said, "I don't really understand."
"?"
Astraea was a little confused. Was there anything difficult to understand about what she said?
Artemis's criteria for choosing a mate is approval by Orion's arrow, but if we talk about Artemis' own criteria, all the celestial beings know that it is purity.
——According to Astraea, Su Qing is probably not pure, as his character is more inclined to be realistic and result-oriented.
Astraea could only find something good to say.
Artemis exhaled and said, "Asteria, please trust me...if there is anything I can do to help, I will."
...What are you doing for me? I can pursue my own path of justice. I am doing fine now!
Go to another world and form an alliance? That shouldn't be the way to put it.
Astraea was confused and felt that she and Artemis were not on the same channel. Her experience as a god emerged in her mind, and pictures flashed by one by one.
Suddenly, the corner of Astraea's mouth twitched. Was she really like the pedantic goddess of justice who could not tolerate any mistakes in the process?
A smile appeared on Astraea's face, but she quickly suppressed it and looked extremely serious.
"Well, since you've already guessed it, I won't hide it from you. I really can't stand this kind of indiscriminate and brutal law enforcement that convicts the gods in just a few days."
"I do have some plans... but they're dangerous."
"Artemis, just leave this to me. This is for your own good."
Artemis shook her head slightly: "Count me in, I've made up my mind."
Astraea said: "If you are exposed, you may die!"
"...Will expelling Lanti and the others from the clan implicate them?"
"It's not that serious." Fearing that Artemis would back down, Astraea quickly tried to make amends, saying, "No matter what, it won't involve the Familia. The Familia are so weak that they pose no threat to such a strong man."
Artemis breathed a sigh of relief, "That's fine."
Astraea held her face tight, suppressed her smile, and looked dimly at the pure Moon Goddess in front of her.
Based on what she had thought about during this period and the things to note when traveling to another world, Artemis had a big problem - purity meant being easy to deceive!
It doesn't matter in this world, but it will be a problem in another world. If she is not taught a lesson, she will have to count money for others if she is cheated.
Astraea looked at Artemis and thought to herself, how could she trust a bad woman like her - she is the goddess of justice.
I wonder if at the same level, if justice wants to make its voice heard, it needs to be more cunning than evil?
Astraea slowly told the Moon Goddess in front of her her free (×) battle plan!
Chapter 49: Almighty
Su Qing, who was in seclusion among Loki's family, suddenly rubbed his eyebrows.
It seems like someone is mentioning him?
It's not some mysterious premonition. In the spiritual system of the box garden, almost all abilities are rooted in the knowable field. Even those abilities that seem to be metaphysical actually have a detailed worldview to support them when you look into them.
According to the common human worldview in the Little Garden...
"Someone thought of me in their mind and said it out loud. In the process, a corresponding mental frequency fluctuation was emitted? A physical phenomenon similar to the resonance with my own mental power?"
Su Qing thought for a moment and put it out of his mind.
He only has a little knowledge of this aspect. If this ability is further developed, it can reach the field of quantum entanglement. He will be able to know it as long as anyone reads his name.
Going a step further involves the nature of the sandbox, the judgment of faith and merit, and the acquisition of known and unknown concepts.
Yawei is an expert in this area, but even though there are experts around her, Su Qing doesn't quite understand her abilities in this area.
If this were a terrestrial world, if it were confined to the planet, with his current strength, he could think of more ways to adjust this ability and make it so that he would know as long as his name was mentioned.
But in the sandbox, this is a routine operation for two-digit numbers. It is difficult for three-digit numbers to mention their names to others, but for achievements that have reached a certain level outside the sandbox, three-digit numbers can also use the mention of themselves as a positioning and gather the achievements when they are mentioned to themselves.
On the contrary, it is in the four digits, all thanks to the core of the box garden to help distribute the merits.
This area, which involves the convergence of self-concept, is too difficult for the weak to explore. The higher the level of the person involved, the easier it is to get started and master the ability.
After thinking for a moment about the candidate who might have mentioned him, Su Qing shook his head slightly.
Maybe Ace?
Several days have passed and she still hasn't returned from the dungeon. Maybe it's because every time she gets along with a dragon monster for a short while, she can't help but chop it down?
Su Qing just thought about it casually and didn't take it too seriously. When he left this world, if Ai Si still couldn't control herself when facing the monster... that wouldn't be an unacceptable loss.
It's just that after going to the small garden, Ais can't stand on her own and can't participate in the grace game alone. The real value of the Loki family is the sign of Loki. Going to the small garden can create a certain connection with the three-digit number.
Among the Norse gods, Hakoniwa Loki is the undisputed second, second only to the king of gods Odin. Apart from Odin, the only important Norse god who surpasses him is Balder, the god of light who was killed by Yavi.
