As the greatest puzzle was solved, Luo En continued to press on.
"The answer is found, so what do we do next?"
"Since we can't kill her, we have to capture her."
"Capture her alive? That seems even more difficult..."
"Or, use your strengths and charisma to charm her into submission?"
Athena suggested, her face brimming with teasing laughter.
Luo En, well aware of his older sister's nature and seeing her radiant smile, refused right away to fall for it.
"Forget it, I choose the first option!"
Seeing Luo En not taking the bait, Athena shook her head in disappointnt and casually offered her hint.
"Fine, to capture that woman, you'll probably need two things."
"[Bait] and [Hook]?"
Luo En nodded in understanding, then furrowed his brows.
"I understand the bait, we have two options: using or linoe, but a hook? It's not easy to hold that woman captive."
"Have you forgotten? I possess the Authority of the Labyrinth, and with the 88 constellations that I personally constructed throughout War God Mountain, just close the Sanctuary, and this place becos like a sealed cage, not without a chance of holding her."
"It's not that easy though."
Luo En picked up the twelve-sided die he couldn't open, and humd lightly.
"That woman is clever, not to ntion her proficiency in witchcraft is no less than your level in magic, and she herself is a deity with the attribute of [Pathways]. Your [Labyrinth] might not confine her; when she first ca to Athens, she had secretly infiltrated War God Mountain to specifically find ."
Hearing how formidable the opponent was, Athena also felt a headache coming on.
However, she soon had a new idea, pointing toward Mount Olympus among the stars and spoke with a quasi-smile.
"If the [Hook] can't hold her, then how about adding a few [Drag Nets]?"
"You an?"
"Hephaestus! The materials previously scavenged from the Sea God Temple, we still have plenty left, let him craft several robust drag nets for us!"
"Good idea!"
Luo En's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and the gloom in his heart gradually faded.
The craftsmanship of that God of Craftsmanship goes without saying, even Hera was once trapped, and if executed properly, Hecate could also possibly be outwitted by them.
However, in doing so, I would have to contact the God of Craftsmanship, which could hasten the maturation of the [Seed].
Never mind, rather than just sitting here waiting for doom, better to throw caution to the wind!
Luo En made up his mind, a flash of sharp light in his eyes, and he spoke gravely.
"Let's go find Hephaestus now!"
However, Athena shook her head with a look of helplessness.
"I'm afraid that won't work; I've been targeted and didn't dare to return to Olympus easily, fearing that my Father God might question ."
"Zeus?"
Luo En was startled and imdiately realized that the rapid developnt of War God Mountain had incurred this calamity, especially as he continuously lured batches of deities to the mountain, heightening Zeus's suspicions.
At this mont, Athena, who had been confronting the pressure for so long, was also nearly unable to cope with the troubles.
Thinking of the subrged Crete, Luo En couldn't help but worry.
"At this ti, to still act in helping deal with Hecate, isn't that too risky? If Zeus starts investigating..."
"But it probably won't co to that, my father has more than to worry about right now."
Feeling the rarely shown concern, Athena smiled faintly and waved her hand, her twinkling eyes reveling in Schadenfreude.
"Recently, Aphrodite has disappeared, no one knows where she's joyously gone; Ares and Hephaestus have been fighting over this all day long;
Apollo seems to enjoy visiting the Sea of Okeanos, often seen entering and leaving in pairs with Poseidon;
Moreover, thanks to you, Queen Hera seems to have really taken an interest in you, right after returning to Olympus, she started interacting with Poseidon and Apollo..."
Hearing about the recent succession of events on Olympus, Luo En couldn't help but have mixed feelings.
Well, the seeds I had planted previously seem to have signs of exploding.
No wonder Zeus, seeing Athena's restlessness, hadn't intervened; it turns out that everything above was already a ss.
If that's the case, then does that an...
Athena, seeing Luo En's wavering thoughts, pierced his fantasy with a single sentence.
"Don't celebrate too early, no matter how much they stir things up, they're just adding so trouble, my Father God still controls the three Hundred-Handed Giants and behind him are The Three Fates, not so easy to deal with, is he?"
"True, the capable invited first."
Luo En shrugged and, raising his hand, made the gesture of a prayer across his chest
One doesn't need to think to know that these few ready to rebel, whom even Athena couldn't hide from, certainly couldn't escape Zeus's eyes; mostly, they're potential cannon fodder.
To rely on them to outplay Zeus is even less reliable than expecting Athena and I to turn the tables together.
After briefly reviewing the current problems and corresponding solutions, Athena gave her next suggestion.
"I can't help you now, but you can go to the Sea of Okeanos to find Tethys, as long as she intercedes, Hephaestus will definitely be willing to lend a hand."
Hearing this, Luo En couldn't help but feel slightly embarrassed.
Alright, it seems that every ti we seek out that Ocean Goddess, it's never for anything good.
Just as Luo En was contemplating what excuse to use to mitigate the awkwardness when eting, there ca a violent trembling from sowhere on his chest, accompanied by an intense burning sensation.
He quickly pulled open his outer garnt to look at the Gorgon Bronze Emblem buzzing in his chest, his expression slightly changing.
"Tethys is in trouble! She is asking for my help!"
Saying this, Luo En didn't bother to explain further, and imdiately leaped from the Great Temple, transforming into a golden red streak of light that sliced through the dark night outside the window, plunging towards the fog-enshrouded Sea of Okeanos.
