The Greece Antagonist

[Death] is governed by [fate]?

Upon hearing Hecate's profound explanation, Luo En immediately realized that this secret was meant for him alone and felt a chill in his heart.

Indeed, Hecate, the representative of [chance], and the Three Fates, who represented [inevitability], had always been engaged in a silent struggle.

And at the moment, the Three Fates were clearly gaining the upper hand; their authority had even extended into the Netherworld, and Thanatos, the God of Death who had originally been under Hecate's command, was almost taken from her.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

It was also because of the Three Fates' attention to [death] that Luo En, as an [uncertainty], naturally could not replace Thanatos's divine authority. Instead, he should keep a certain distance from this matter.

"He's not suitable? Then find another one!"

At this point, the still-hopeful Circe, seeing that one apprentice was not sellable, immediately turned her gaze to another, vigorously pitching to Hecate.

"This is Medea, my brother's daughter. She shares the same blood as I do, gifted and extraordinary in talent. She will definitely become a peerless enchantress in the future. How about her? Surely, there will be no problem!"

Hecate glanced at her second little apprentice across from her, her gaze briefly touching the little hands that were tightly clutching Luo En's clothes, and a different interest arose in her purple eyes.

"That could work, but she's too young. Let's wait until later..."

Find adventures on empire

Feeling the four pairs of eyes on her, Little Medea instinctively shrank back behind Luo En.

Although she was still young and did not fully understand what Hecate and Circe said, her intuition told her that the two in front of her were harboring some not-so-good intentions toward her.

By contrast, she felt more secure with this new big apprentice brother she had just met.

Luo En then patted Little Medea's head, glared at the two unscrupulous adults across from him, and inwardly cursed.

I wondered how Medea, just a witch betrayed by others, could become in the legends the queen who reigned over the Netherworld and controlled Elysium. Turns out it's you two conscienceless elders who dragged her over to toil for you!

Perhaps it was precisely because of this future assignation that Medea was targeted by the Three Fates, falling into such a tragic end!

Indeed, if the teacher-student relationship of Aiaia could be summarized in one word, it would be—pitfall!

Luo En let out another sigh of complex emotions and then interrupted the dispute and prevarication between Hecate and Circe about who would take on duties.

"Forget it, stop the trouble. Even capturing Circe and bringing her back would only be a temporary fix, and since she's not without legs, it would be a waste of effort if she ran away."

Speaking, Luo En's gaze flickered, sweeping over the contemplative Hecate, and he looked toward the east of the Peloponnesian Peninsula, speaking in a low voice.

"Why not go take a look at Corinth? You might find something unexpected."

Hearing that deep and meaningful whisper, Hecate's mind immediately raced to certain matters.

It seemed that not long ago, Thanatos had received a private job from Zeus, requested by the Three Fates.

—Apparently, for some reason, the vindictive Divine King wanted to use brutal [death] to punish a whistleblower who displeased him.

Could it be in Corinth?

Hecate glanced at Luo En's determined expression across from her, her eyes full of thought, and then she nodded slightly with a smile.

"Fair enough, I'll go to Corinth first. You take care of her for the moment."

With that, the Goddess of the Underworld Moon let go of her struggling apprentice, tossed her to her apprentice in front of her, and reminded with a deep meaning,

"Someone has to clean up the mess. If she escapes..."

Hecate's revealing glance swept over Luo En and Little Medea, the implications clear without words.

"Don't worry, this trip will surely be fruitful!"

Luo En assured her earnestly, watching Hecate's figure fade away and silently crossing himself in his heart.

Corinth's City Builder, Sisyphus, right?

Brother, take care...
