The Greece Antagonist

I've been had, I'm in trouble!

Eris realized something was wrong and instinctively tried to break free.

However, it was already too late.

Luo En immediately leveraged his exquisite close-quarters combat skills from "Infinite Martial Refinement" to pin Eris down, restraining her arms and, using the momentum, straddled her waist to immobilize her torso and lower limbs.

"Quick, close the door!"

Accompanied by an explosive shout ringing in her ears, Astraea, who was in front of the starlight curtain, snapped out of her trance. She quickly withdrew her curious gaze, turned the gold scales on either side of the hilt of her sword, and commanded the curtain of starlight to close.

The Furies, upon seeing their ally unfortunately captured, immediately let out a hoarse, low growl. They flicked their viper whips and called upon a blood mist to crash against the curtain of starlight, hastily coming to the rescue.

As the encroaching crimson fell upon the starlight curtain, the sound of corrosion sizzled through the air, and the island's outer barrier of starlight was rapidly dissolving.

At that moment, beneath the dazzling canopy of stars, a serene and solemn whisper was heard.

"Order, shall be restored here..."

In an instant, with the rhythm of the divine words, streams of starlight fell, like judgment swords from the heavens, sweeping away the thick blood-red haze outside the island.

On the island, a goddess with golden hair draped over her shoulders and a white veil on her head walked barefoot down a stone path hidden among layers of forest, approaching the starlight curtain.

Dressed in a blue, contours-revealing, semi-transparent fabric that allowed her skin to be seen, adorned with several exquisite gold ornaments set with rubies, she possessed a voluptuous figure and breathtaking beauty, holding in her hand the Sword of the Scales that symbolized justice and law.

Unlike Astraea, this stunningly beautiful and tranquil figure had her eyes covered by a black band, but she moved with grace and fluidity, seemingly unimpeded by the darkness before her.

Clearly, she was not truly blind.

The Scales symbolize absolute fairness and justice, measuring all the injustices in the world. The Sword of Judgment symbolizes the slaying of all evil, promoting good over evil. The scales above and blade below indicate although she advocates for justice, she does not encourage unnecessary killing. It also hints that no one should murder others under the pretense of justice.

Lastly, being blinded signifies her impartiality, not giving in to nepotism, treating everyone before her equally, regardless of who they are.

At this moment, Luo En finally remembered what was different about the Goddess of Justice's attire compared to the original when he first met Astraea.

—Right, the missing "blindfold".

Then, the golden-haired, blindfolded goddess slightly raised her head, looking towards the Furies outside the curtain, and spoke softly, her voice like a chill, harsh spring.

"Blood of Uranus, you have, crossed the boundary..."

Upon seeing the figure below, the previously arrogant Furies involuntarily swallowed, a deep apprehension flashing in their eyes. Then, with a hoarse voice, they spoke.

"Hand over Lady Eris, and we will leave."

Themis did not reply but turned to look at Luo En and Astraea with an all-business demeanor.

"This matter ends here, what do you two think?"

"Of course!"

Luo En immediately grabbed Astraea, who was about to step forward to protest, and with a slight smile, released the restrained Eris.

Themis nodded slightly and, without waiting for Eris to speak, turned the hilt of her sword, opened the curtain of starlight, and used her divine power to toss the Goddess of Discord out of the island, speaking firmly.

"The four of you, this is my abode, and it is not convenient to entertain outsiders, please leave."

"They are not...uh-uh..."

Eris, feeling indignant, tried to retort, but was quickly muzzled and dragged away by the Furies who rushed over.

Although Eris was a beloved daughter of Divine King Zeus and one whom they served.

But the one on the island is even trickier to deal with.

If they won't take a step down after being offered a way out, what they'll face is probably not those three youngsters, but this ancient Titan deity.

Remembering the starlight sword rain that had dissolved most of their vigor, The Furies felt a chill in their hearts and hurriedly carried the struggling little princess Eris, quickly fleeing beyond everyone's perceptual range.

Watching as the four figures gradually moved away from the island and disappeared, Themis turned around and looked at her disciple, a trace of invisible reproach and severity in her eyes hidden behind the black veil.

Astraea shrank like a mouse seeing a cat and hid behind Luo En to avoid her teacher Themis's gaze, which felt like thorns on her back.

Sigh, how many times have I told you, and yet you still act like this.

Haven't you suffered enough from this kind of behavior in the past?

Facing this disciple with her stubborn nature, the Goddess of Justice could only sigh in resignation. Her gaze then fell on Thetis beside her, and after a brief evaluation, she understood.

"The mark of vengeance? Quickly bring her in."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Yes! I knew you wouldn't stand by and watch her die!"

Hearing her mentor take the initiative to speak, Astraea immediately beamed with flattery, promptly reaching out to help Thetis enter the hall.

However, just as Astraea lifted her arm, it was struck by a sheathed long sword falling down with a solid thud.

"You stay outside and guard."

Facing this punishment, Astraea could only respond grudgingly and obediently stand guard outside, while sending Luo En an "I can't help you" look.

Luo En nodded solemnly and then bent down to help the unconscious Thetis, following the footsteps of the Goddess of Justice into the hall.

"Back already? The ice hasn't melted, would you like another cup?"

Upon entering the door, a languid voice with an inexplicably familiar tone came from the inner hall.

Is there someone else here?

Luo En instinctively looked up, following the voice, and saw a figure with purple hair cascading over her shoulders, swirling a glass of wine as she sat on one side of the hall's table, toying with several oak-carved chess pieces in her other hand.

Feeling the gaze upon her, the purple-haired Goddess elegantly turned her head, looking towards Luo En with a smile full of meaning as he entered.

"We meet again, my dear great-granddisciple."

"What a coincidence, Great-Grandmaster..."

Luo En replied with a forced smile, his eyes flickering warily towards Hecate who appeared before him, a sense of vigilance rising in his heart.

How did this woman escape from the Netherworld?

And what's more, she's mixing with Themis?

At the same time, the eyes veiled behind the black fabric of the Goddess of Justice swept over the two with the subtly tense atmosphere, her brow furrowing as well.

Do they know each other?

As the three deities sized each other up, their thoughts intermingling, Thetis in Luo En's arms let out a pained whimper, breaking the eerie silence.

"Come, follow me inside!"

Themis's expression became stern, setting aside her doubts and leading Luo En with the patient in his arms towards the back of the house.

Watching the three figures pass by her, Hecate lifted a piece of ice and dropped it into her empty glass, filling it once more with wine, leisurely sipping and curling her lips in pleasure.

What she thought would be a dull journey turned out to bring an unexpected reward.
