But the Moon Goddess...is at least worthy of holding sovereignty over the moon.
The small garden closed until 2000 AD. Before that, the sovereignty of the moon was far less important than that of the sun. But after 2000 AD, with every hundred years of closing, the moon, as the satellite closest to the earth, was more likely to become the second home of mankind.
The returns are extremely high, and relatively few people pay attention to it.
...After returning to the box garden, let the two goddesses secretly investigate who holds the sovereignty of the moon.
Anyway, Su Qing felt that as long as there was a problem with Zeus, after all these years...Artemis would either surrender to the enemy or be replaced.
Su Qing even felt that Athena's characteristics of the final human trial were all calculated by Zeus.
There are three main gods in Roman mythology. Jupiter, the king of gods, corresponds to Zeus, and Mars, the god of war, corresponds to Ares.
In the box garden, Mars transformed into one of the final trials of humanity, and transferred the characteristics of the final trial of humanity to Athena through the channel of Ares.
——The result is that Mars is gone.
Of the three main Roman gods, the remaining one, Quirinus, does not correspond to the twelve Greek gods, but is regarded as the first king of Rome and the founder of Rome.
Once Mars disappeared, in the Roman system, there was not much conflict of interest between Jupiter as the representative of the divine side and Quirinus as the representative of the connection between man and God. Instead, the competition for merit between Mars and Jupiter was more serious, and their bases overlapped.
In the entire Greek and Roman system, the only one who is qualified to directly challenge Zeus's status is Mars, one of the three main gods in the Roman system.
Quirinus held a high enough position in the Roman system, but had no base in the Greek system.
Others who were qualified to pry into Zeus’ status in the Greek system were, on the contrary, average in the Roman system. Compared with the Greek system as the source, the Roman system, which was more integrated with human history, was the basic foundation for the gods to become stronger.
While Mars had a high status in the Roman system, he was also the son of Zeus in the Greek system. Patricide was a Greek tradition, and the father-son relationship did not mean that I was inferior to you, but rather the qualification to challenge my father.
Mars transformed himself into a human being for the final test, and then gave it to Athena...
No matter what Su Qing thinks, Athena is not the biggest beneficiary. Zeus really won!
Chapter 59: Potion
During the following time together, Artemis was somewhat silent.
There is an unbridgeable gap between knowing and empathizing. Even though she could guess that the other world must be dangerous, the sudden news still made it difficult for her to adapt in a short period of time.
Zeus and Artemis in the box garden are far stronger than her...it's hard to say whether they are dead or alive.
This feeling of being a person who was clearly familiar to her yet also a stranger to her, mixed with a strange feeling that she was completely unfamiliar with, made her feel extremely complicated.
Not far away, Astraea took a deep breath.
"That's totally not okay!"
Astraea's face was full of helplessness. We found a reason for you two to get together, can't you just give it your best shot?
Don't do unnecessary things on a date, such as discussing inside information or conspiracies. Are you crazy?
—Especially you, Artemis!
Do you still remember that you went there with a purpose?
Do you know what's going on with you? You're a virgin for hundreds of millions of years. Do you plan to get married in this life?
In this world alone, a virgin who is hundreds of millions of years old is still okay, but the age of gods is measured in billions of years.
This age is not noticeable, it is just the norm.
But right before your eyes, you are about to enter another world.
She had asked about the small garden, or the other worlds that Su Qing knew about... In short, people who were over 100 million years old were extremely rare.
Originally, we are all hundreds of millions of years old. Based on this, being single is just a state.
But take a broader perspective - among the strong people of the same level, you are the only one who has not been able to get married for hundreds of millions of years. Have you ever thought about what you will do in the future?
Hurry up and get up!
Astraea sighed and was also worried.
Beside her, Freya put on Hill's vest and said helplessly: "You called me here just for this?"
She was very bored during this period. In the eyes of the gods, she was still hanging on the top floor of the magic tower. It was naturally not easy for her to appear in Orario, and she didn't even dare to show up as Hill.
Not many people knew that she was Hill, one of the hostess waiters of Abundance. She deliberately avoided her friends, but she couldn't tell how many people had seen through her identity.
At least Loki could easily see through the magic she used to disguise herself as Ciel.
If Loki can do it, then there are other gods who can do it too. Perhaps those gods just care about the power of Freya's family and keep it a secret and don't expose her.
These days, even though Freya had the alias Hill, she controlled herself and tried not to go out.
This time it was Astraea who came to her, and Freya thought she had a good relationship with Astraea.
In heaven, Astraea is the famous goddess of justice and the benchmark of moral integrity of the gods. She is also the goddess of beauty and the most popular person who is fascinated by all the gods.
She is reckless, Astraea is chaste; she is arrogant, Astraea is gentle as jade.
No matter how you look at it, she is the complete opposite of Astraea.
——But the two goddesses themselves know that they are actually not that different.
They are all good gods. Even if Freya acts recklessly, she is still a good god.
As long as she likes a child, she must get it. This is Freya's willfulness, but she is also cultivating her children with all her heart. Even though she has begun to find the clan game boring, she is also very dedicated to her clan. She will use any means to get the child she likes, but after getting the child, she will really think about the child.
More gods, when they feel bored, will simply destroy their own clans completely.
The number of human beings whose lives have been ruined because of the malice of gods is not small.
And the kindness of both goddesses is tainted.
The slight difference is that Freya's so-called stain on her kindness was because she wanted to do so, while Astraea's stain on her kindness was forced by the current situation in heaven and was a compromise due to her inability to uphold her own justice.
However, despite their different starting points, the situations of the two goddesses are surprisingly similar.
There are also inconsistencies. Astralia's compromised justice makes her feel guilty, and every time she is powerless, it is a torment for her.
Freya was not dissatisfied with her situation. Whether she was kind or willful, it was all Freya's true heart.
But she was looking for her destined soul mate, but she couldn't find the right one no matter what. This was a torment for Freya.
There is an inexplicable resonance between the two distortions.
Freya thought that she and Astraea got along well.
But getting along is getting along...
Freya said faintly: "Don't take me with you if you want to get yourself killed."
"...I was just acting as a matchmaker with no ill intentions. How could that be courting death?"
Astraea laughed dryly twice.
She also knew that this behavior was actually somewhat dangerous.
When the weak face the strong - for example, when the lives she had met faced the gods, the initiative was entirely on the side of the strong.
If the strong person feels that you have offended him, then you have offended him.
Astraea was more or less confident that those who could accept a goddess of justice like her as their subordinate would be relatively lenient and would not be the self-centered type.
If she were the self-centered type, she wouldn't dare to do such things in secret.
What she did was to ensure that she would not be helpless after going to the new world, and to ensure that even if she died in the other world, the world where she was born and raised would have a good future. It was also to give Artemis a push. She only provided an opportunity, and the specific development depended on the parties involved, not on her forcing Artemis to do anything.
But in the final analysis…Su Qing’s attitude was the basis for her attempt to take action.
Astraea clasped her hands together and looked at Freya: "Please, give me some advice. I will bear any consequences alone and will never implicate you."
Freya thought, can you bear it? Are you the only one who can bear it?
If everything goes well in this matter, and Su Qing can be together with Artemis in the end, there will naturally be no consequences.
If Su Qing feels that he is offended... and annoys the other party, what can you, Astralia, with your small body, do to resist?
But after all, it has come to this point, and Freya feels that the possibility of something going wrong is not high. The chances of Astraea's actions being hidden from Su Qing are not high, and they should have been discovered long ago.
After pondering for a moment, Freya couldn't help her curiosity.
"...Well, as the goddess of beauty, let me teach you what love is!"
Freya reached into her arms, and when she took it out again, a bottle of potion appeared in her hand.
"……What's this?"
Astraea suddenly felt something was wrong.
Freya said proudly, "Love potion."
Astraea: "..."
Freya said confidently: "You don't even dare to drug me, how dare you fall in love?"
Astraea took a deep breath and cupped her hands: "Go and die by yourself, don't take me with you."
"...Of course I'm not drugging Mr. Su." Freya laughed dryly, "Besides, this amount of medicine won't work. I mean drugging Artemis!"
"Artemis will fight you to the death." Astraea said faintly.
"Didn't you say that you will bear the consequences?" Freya asked back.
"The magic of the goddess of beauty is ineffective on the virgin goddess." Astralia tried to struggle.
"It's nonsense to talk about the effect without considering the dosage. We are both gods. My charm is indeed ineffective on her. We are both in the state of sealed divine power. I occupied the top of the Tower of Babel for many years to refine this magic potion. How can Artemis resist it?"
Freya was full of confidence. There were strong and weak gods, but they were all at the same level. The weak would lose to the strong, but they were all gods, so there wouldn't be a huge gap between them. Even for a virgin goddess who was weaker than her, her charm wouldn't work because of this restrained relationship.
But after descending to the mortal world, the power that ordinary gods can mobilize and her, the god who occupied the top of the Tower of Babel, is more than one level apart.
The Tower of Babel itself was an altar where the gods could exert their divine power.
——In the original novel that has not yet happened, Freya used the Tower of Babel to completely fascinate Orario, making everyone in Orario believe that Bell is her clan.
Also, Hestia used the Tower of Babel as an altar, bringing out her characteristics of a virgin goddess and unlocking the enchantment of all of Orario.
The nature of the virgin goddess does restrain the goddess of beauty, but she is too powerful. Artemis could never withstand the love potion she made during the Tower of Babel.
