"Of course! By the na of Lady Artemis, I, Atalanta, would sooner be pierced by arrows than ever fall for a man!"
Atalanta denied it resolutely, even invoking the Moon Goddess’ na without hesitation. This was her sworn deity—the most solemn vow she could make.
"Excellent! If you can resist Naless’ charm, I’ll teach gifted children for free!"
dea’s smile grew even brighter. "But if he wins you over, you’ll owe double the original conditions!"
That man was a Grand-ranked beauty capable of captivating even gods—what hope did Atalanta have against him?
As a witch, dea was always short on research funds. Even draining all of Greece’s wealth wouldn’t be enough!
"Agreed!"
Atalanta accepted without hesitation, her sharp gaze fixed on the other woman. "Though perhaps this video will explain why you look like this now."
In Greek mythology, why did the other party, clearly the terrifying Witch of Betrayal, choose to descend in the guise of a young girl?
Atalanta smiled faintly. "Could it be that you confessed to Naless, only to be cruelly rejected, and that’s why you beca the Witch of Betrayal from the myths?"
"That’s obviously impossible!"
dea denied it outright.
She was a cold, cruel, and ruthless witch—how could she possibly be swayed by soone else?
"Then, if what I said isn’t true, swear to that you won’t seek out Naless and that you’ll remain a pure virgin forever, just like !"
Atalanta’s eyes glead with a wild sharpness.
The Moon Goddess, also known as the Goddess of the Hunt, staunchly opposed marriage between n and won, favoring unwed maidens—as well as those youths who scorned Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love.
Together with Hestia, Goddess of the Hearth, and Athena, Goddess of Wisdom, she was counted among the Three Virgin Goddesses.
As a fervent devotee of the Moon Goddess, Atalanta naturally wanted others to follow her example and remain pure.
To this end, she was even the leader of the [FFF] Society, transforming it from a small, obscure group into a world-famous organization for singles!
"Fine, I agree!"
dea answered easily.
She had absolute pride in herself.
As the most talented sorceress and the most favored student of Hecate, Goddess of Magic, how could she possibly confess to a man and then be rejected?
That would make her the most pitiful loser imaginable!
Once their agreent was settled, they turned their attention back to the screen.
On the screen,
Atalanta warily drew her bow. "Who are you? How do you know my na?"
"I know more than you think,"
Naless replied with a smile. "Don’t worry, we an you no harm. Let’s work together to send these children ho, shall we?"
"Sorry, but I refuse to travel with you!" The huntress coldly rejected him.
Watching this, Atalanta grew even more composed.
Yes, this was exactly like her.
Even if Naless possessed extraordinary charm, it wouldn’t sway her in the slightest.
"But we’re also on an important mission to find the Holy Grail. We don’t have ti to escort each of these children ho one by one," Naless said, spreading his hands helplessly.
"You’d let these children walk ho alone?"
Atalanta glared at him.
She had been abandoned at birth by a despicable man and nearly died in the wilderness, growing up in endless despair and loneliness.
Yet she never resented the world for it.
Precisely because of her own suffering, she longed even more to see every child grow up happily—
and was even willing to give her life to protect them!
Thus, she showed no rcy to any bandits or threats that endangered children.
Naless answered without hesitation, "I’m not that heartless. That’s exactly why we need to cooperate!"
"..."
Atalanta studied him with sharp eyes,
then glanced tenderly at the children, torn by indecision.
The children, having just escaped from the bandits, were quietly sobbing, their pitiful state tugging at her heart.
Naless pulled out a handful of lollipops from his coat and handed them to the children with a smile. "Here, these are the tastiest candies you’ll ever have~"
One by one, the children timidly accepted them.
Following his instructions, they unwrapped the candies, took small, cautious bites, and soon their tears turned to smiles.
"Is it delicious?" Naless asked with a smile.
"Delicious!"
The children answered loudly one after another, their dirty little faces filled with happiness and contentnt.
At that mont, a little girl walked up to Atalanta with a piece of candy in her hand, broke it in half, and offered the other half to the huntress: "Sister, thank you for helping us!"
"I don’t eat..."
Atalanta initially wanted to refuse, but seeing the extrely timid and frightened little girl who was on the verge of tears, she still reached out to take the half piece of candy and put it in her mouth.
An unprecedented sweetness exploded in her mouth, making her almost jump in surprise.
Even her pair of erald-green eyes seed to shine even more brilliantly.
How could it be so delicious?
Countless viewers couldn’t bear to watch this scene—
-[Oh no, Naless is about to start his conquest again!]
-[Half a piece of candy is enough to conquer soone? That’s way too strong!]
-[Damn it, I have all kinds of candy here, why don’t any girls like ?]
-[Pfft, as if I don’t know you’re trying to give girls deoxyribose?]
...
"Terrifying Naless!"
Roya couldn’t help but exclaim.
She clearly saw that the little girl who shared the candy with Atalanta had been quietly instructed by Naless beforehand.
Everything was part of Naless’s plan!
Roya grew even more amazed: "Just how many girls does he want to conquer? Isn’t he afraid of being chopped up by a group of girls and divided into five equal parts?"
"..."
Naless was montarily speechless.
Was it really considered "conquering" just because he wanted Atalanta’s help?
Beside them, the Saber stopped eating for a mont before resuming.
Artoria’s calm deanor made Naless increasingly uneasy.
He had already tricked Gilgash once, and now the upcoming Greek mythology video would awaken the mories of many Greek heroes.
Even the mories of the Olympian gods.
This was no ordinary trouble!
"Anyway, just enjoy the show—it’s got nothing to do with ."
Roya picked up half a waterlon and started scooping it with a spoon.
Just enjoying the show!
Later, under Naless’s persuasion, Atalanta beca their ally, helping him escort the group of children back from the mountains.
What surprised Roya was, scene after scene flashed by, showing Naless’s ticulous care for the children.
Despite being a great hero who had fought across countless dinsions, he was exceptionally skilled at taking care of children.
Washing clothes, cooking, foraging for fruits, protecting them from poisonous insects and wild beasts—he was practically the perfect babysitter.
His "wife material" energy was off the charts!
Even Mash, who had been helping all along, seed clumsy in comparison.
Not to ntion the huntress, who only made things worse.
Then, the scene suddenly shifted.
From Naless and Atalanta caring for the children, the view transitioned to the sky above.
Two goddesses stood quietly, gazing at each other.
The Goddess of Wisdom, Athena, smiled faintly: "What do you think, Artemis?"
The fluctuations from the interdinsional teleportation were too intense to hide.
As a goddess, she had sensed the other’s arrival the mont it happened.
"Too weak to matter. Besides, he seems intent on ’conquering’ my follower—clearly up to no good," Artemis replied indifferently.
"True. Since he’s here, let’s see how far he can go."
Athena glanced at the goddess beside her. "That boar you dropped in Calydon earlier—soone ought to deal with it. How about choosing him and Atalanta?"
"Very well, let them go then."
Artemis nodded slightly.
The king of Calydon had previously failed to offer sacrifices to her during the divine festival.
Enraged, the Moon Goddess sent down a monstrous boar to punish the forgetful Calydonians.
The punishnt had been delivered, and now it was ti for a hero to end this calamity.
As a visitor from another dinsion, Naless was an even more intriguing plaything for the gods—one who could shine brightly on the stage they had prepared.
Indeed, the entire world was but a script written by the gods.
The heroes sung of by mortals were rely fulfilling divine prophecies, performing according to the gods’ predetermined scripts.
Now, the two goddesses wanted to see how far this human from another dinsion could perform.
And it wasn’t just them.
The other gods had also sensed the ripples of his arrival from another dinsion, casting interested glances his way!
After the two goddesses finished their discussion, the scene abruptly shifted back.
Naless, who had been wiping a child’s face, suddenly found a woman standing beside him.
She held a shield in one hand and a spear in the other, clad in resplendent golden armor that shimred brilliantly.
With a cold tone, she spoke: "Visitor from another dinsion, I am Athena, Goddess of Wisdom. What brings you here?"
"Greetings, Goddess of Wisdom. I hail from Chaldea, seeking to nd a world on the brink of destruction," Naless replied with neither arrogance nor humility.
Athena eyed him skeptically. "Oh? And you alone can accomplish this?"
"Of course, my own strength is insufficient. I humbly request the blessing of the goddess," Naless solemnly pleaded.
"Very well. Then prove your worth to us—hunt the monstrous boar of Calydon!" Athena proclaid her divine decree.
She paid no mind to Mash beside him.
The girl was not purely human, more akin to a summoned entity.
In other words, this man alone was the true human worthy of their attention.
"Alright!"
Naless nodded, accepting the mission.
Then, he turned his gaze to the girl beside him: "Goddess, may I bring an assistant?"
"Why are you looking at ? That’s the wild boar the Moon Goddess released—there’s no way I’m fighting it!" Atalanta refused without hesitation.
"Atalanta, you’re going with them."
Athena looked at the girl and added, "This is a trial from the Moon Goddess. If you fail, you will lose her favor!"
"Yes!"
Atalanta instantly perked up, gripping her hunting bow tightly.
A divine mission left her no room for refusal.
The onlookers buzzed with chatter—
-[The Calydonian Boar is one of Atalanta’s most famous exploits. So Naless was involved too!]
-[Damn, I suspect the two virgin goddesses are clearly trying to set them up!]
-[Sh*t, that’s possible. Are they planning to use Atalanta’s charms to keep Naless for good?]
-[The four bonds of life: sharing a classroom, sharing a battlefield, sharing a brothel, sharing loot... After fighting together, can Atalanta even resist Naless’ charm?]
...
The video continued.
After receiving the goddess’ mission,
Naless, Mash, and Atalanta traveled tirelessly until they finally arrived in Calydon.
A boar ca into view.
If it could even be called a boar.
Standing dozens of ters tall and nearly a hundred ters long, it was practically a moving mountain!
Mash stared dumbfounded: "Senpai, were pigs in the Age of Gods always this big? How many years could one feed us?"
"Probably... a lifeti’s worth!"
Naless was equally stunned by the monstrous boar before them.
This was just an ordinary demonic boar, not the Bull of Heaven from the end of the Uruk Age of Gods.
Why was it so huge?
Watching this, the Council of Gods in the United States.
One by one, the council mbers smiled.
Indeed, gods were still gods—aloof and indifferent to human survival.
The Sea God chuckled: "The gods treat the mortal world as a ga. Every hero is just a character they manipulate, acting out pre-written scripts."
"Exactly. Given the arrogance of the Greek pantheon, there’s no way Naless can win them over. They’re destined to clash. It seems we’re completely secure," the Underworld God sneered.
As a Guardian of Human Order, Naless clearly prioritized humanity above all else.
It seed he intended to follow the strategy of Absolute Demonic Front, gathering as many allies as possible to prepare for the final battle.
In the anti, he would feign obedience to the gods to earn their trust.
But when the ti ca to confront the forr King of Gods—Kronos, who had been granted a Holy Grail by the Demon God King—he would undoubtedly expel both sides at once.
Thus ending the Age of Gods!
This was the true reason for the disappearance of the Greek pantheon.
Let’s not forget, in the previous Absolute Demonic Front, Tiamat had already been exiled to the Imaginary Number Space.
Even the gentle Mother Goddess, whom countless called "Mother Tiamat," was utterly severed by Naless.
What chance did a bunch of arrogant gods have?
You say in The Eternal Emperor, so gods went all out to help Naless?
First, look at who those gods were—
Fuxi who divined the Eight Trigrams, Yu the Great who tad the floods, Shennong who tasted hundreds of herbs...
These were all the revered ancestral deities worshipped by the people of China!
They were originally humans, later deified by the Chinese into mighty gods, so it was perfectly normal for them to assist Naless.
But!
The Greek gods were born divine—how could they possibly understand humans and wholeheartedly aid Naless?
Surely they couldn’t be relying solely on the so-called charm of a Grand-class beauty?
If he truly possessed such charm, why hadn’t a single mber of their United States Divine Council taken a liking to Naless?
Clearly, it was all a lie.
The so-called "Three Goddess Alliance" in Absolute Demonic Front was nothing but a traitorous alliance, easily swayed by Naless into betrayal.
But the Greek gods were different.
They existed in a true age of myth, unbound by any constraints, treating all humans as playthings.
Once the video was exposed, those exiled Olympian gods, consud by boundless fury, would fully align with them, elevating them to true chief deities capable of suppressing China’s Qin Shi Huang and Naless in one fell swoop.
Our United States would then beco truly invincible, ruling the entire Blue Planet!
