Chapter 277: Why haven't you been beaten to death by Athena yet?

Wait? Something isn't right?

Shiroyasha reacted very quickly; if it were a matter of spreading rumors, it would be impossible to reach the level of affecting a Spirit Status unless it was like the Little Garden Knights, who were almost slandered by the entire community of Poets.

And even if it were sustained for a long time, turning falsehood into truth, it would still be impossible to reach the level of affecting a Spirit Status.

Moreover, Spirit Status changes seem to be preventable; although Divine Position changes cannot be stopped, one can just snatch the Divine Position back when the time comes.

In fact, even if the impact of a new History Conversion Period on Little Garden is observed to be not that great, having been in Little Garden for so long, there are plenty of ways to avoid it.

"Could it be that Athena has been tricked by herself?"

Shiroyasha couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Thinking she had picked up the Divinity of a Trinity supreme goddess for free, only to find out that this Trinity is a trinity of Metis, Medusa, and Athena."

Shiroyasha laughed with a complete lack of conscience; she hadn't laughed this happily in a long time.

She finally understood why Athena's face was so sour.

She thought she had picked up a great bargain, but who could have guessed that this bargain was mixed with shit.

It couldn't be called poisoned, after all, it didn't really harm Athena.

Except for disgusting Athena quite severely.

If one looks solely at the benefits Athena gained, Athena should actually thank Su Nian!

But normally speaking, although Athena was disgusted, she shouldn't be this angry, right?

"There must be something in here that I don't know about!"

Shiroyasha's curiosity was piqued; she was genuinely curious about what exactly Su Nian had done to make Athena feel this disgusted.

She was going to the front lines to watch the drama!

At this moment, whatever mission the boss had assigned had been completely cast aside by Shiroyasha.

Missions and such, how could they be as real as having fun? ——

Arcadia, VIP reception room.

Athena, who had just rushed to Arcadia, held a cup of black tea and silently looked at Yadaina sitting across from her.

Her arm, tempered enough to lift a planet, could not hold a cup of tea at this moment.

The originally calm water surface inside the teacup was rippling slightly, expressing Athena's restless heart.

After a long time, she finally accepted reality and said in a tone that was subtle and carried a slight tremor.

"There really is another Athena?"

Athena closed her eyes in a near-breakdown; although she had been mentally prepared, when she actually saw Yadaina.

Her heart still felt a bit broken.

Although she had been mentally prepared, Athena still held onto a trace of unrealistic Fantasy.

Perhaps this was a Mythology change triggered by some Poet? Purely someone wanting to disgust her?

After all, the possibility of a Poet wanting to disgust her was much higher than the probability of an Athena Trinity appearing in a world that possessed a mythological worldview.

After all, observing hundreds of millions of worlds might not yield one that possesses a mythological worldview, and a world with a mythological worldview might not necessarily have Greek Mythology, might not necessarily have Athena...

And even if the existence of Athena were inevitable, a two-in-one is already a Miracle among Miracles, let alone a three-in-one...

A Trinity is fine, she could endure that.

But why does it have to be a trinity of Medusa, Metis, and Athena!!!!

So, is it really just her Athena's bad luck?

Athena fell into deep self-seclusion.

Coupled with another Athena blocking her path forward, Athena became even more secluded.

How come all the bad things happen to her?

Although she does not hold the Authority of 【Luck】, she shouldn't be unlucky to this extent, right?

If Little Garden had a ranking for the unluckiest, Athena could guarantee she would definitely be the number one loser.

"Athena?"

Holding onto the last shred of hope, Athena looked with dull eyes at Little Athena, who had manifested with the Spirit Status of the Acquired God Metis in front of her, and spoke.

"No, this one is Yadaina."

Little Athena... ah no, it was Yadaina who spoke softly.

She had no intention of competing with the Athena in front of her for the name of Athena.

Laughing to death, the Spirit Status of the Acquired God Metis alone had increased her strength by hundreds of thousands of times; she couldn't imagine how strong the Athena of Little Garden was.

Seeking death is not done like that.

At this moment, all her courage turned into a desire to survive, only praying that the Athena in front of her would not absorb her.

"Uh..."

Athena's mouth twitched, and she looked at Yadaina, speechless.

"Little one, relax, I don't have any intention of absorbing you."

What meaning would absorbing Yadaina have for her? How much power could it add?

One must know that the Little Garden Central Hub is constantly observing new worlds, and every time a new world is observed, all faith and Merit related to Athena flow to her.

If she were to be confident, if she could, she could increase her power by the amount of Yadaina's power just by breathing.

But this is meaningless; she is currently a Four-Digit Exceptional like Zeus, hiding in the lower levels, and the power ceiling of the lower levels is just that much.

Moreover, simply stacking volume has no effect; Little Garden is a world that relies on mechanisms.

After all, stronger Three-digit beings are omniscient and omnipotent in the outside world, and some top-tier Three-digit beings can even exert combat power not weaker than a Two-digit being by relying on a Simulated Star Creation Map.

"And this name, who gave it to you?"

Athena's gaze gradually sharpened; Yadaina was her counterpart after all, and her encounter was relatively similar to her own.

In a certain sense, she and Yadaina still felt quite empathetic toward each other.

Yadaina subconsciously shifted her gaze onto Su Nian.

"Ahem, don't mind these details."

Su Nian coughed twice with slight embarrassment; how did it involve him again?

"And Goddess Athena, you haven't thanked me yet, have you?"

Su Nian pointed at Yadaina and said very politely.

"This is a grand gift I prepared especially for you."

Athena's eyelids twitched involuntarily, her tone was slightly unnatural, and then she emphasized her tone.

"Thank you? A grand gift prepared especially for me?"

"Yes."

After Su Nian finished speaking, he looked at Athena with a smile and said.

"Heavenly Lord Athena, aren't you moved by this gift?"

"Moved?"

Athena repeated it again with a very subtle tone.

If Algol hadn't added extra ingredients, she wouldn't be unable to thank Su Nian; this was indeed a good opportunity for her.

Shit-flavored chocolate, although the taste was hard to describe, it wasn't impossible to eat if one overcame the disgust.

But the point was that this thing had been tampered with.

It changed from shit-flavored chocolate to Little Algol-flavored shit chocolate.

This made Athena feel very disgusted; she even felt like vomiting now just thinking that she would become like Algol in the future.

Su Nian was silent for a moment, sighed slightly, and said.

"Heavenly Lord Athena, perhaps there might be some misunderstanding between us?"

Su Nian's expression was a bit awkward now, just like when Yadaina had complained to his face earlier about him naming her Yadaina.

Could it be that Algol did something again?

Su Nian's eyelids twitched subconsciously.

He seemed to have made a bad move just now.

Watching Su Nian's performance, Athena took a deep breath, took a sip of tea, and then revealed a brilliant smile.

"How could that be? I don't think there is any misunderstanding between us."

"No, no, no, I think there is still a significant misunderstanding between us."

Su Nian hurriedly waved his hands; Athena's smile gave him the feeling that she had ulterior motives.

It was a bit creepy.

"All of this is the result of your good luck, Heavenly Lord Athena; otherwise, how could such a Spirit Status so suitable for you be born?"

"Good luck?"

Athena's mouth twitched, but why did she feel like she had the worst luck in eight lifetimes?

She encountered all sorts of bad luck, and in the end, she was still thoroughly disgusted by Algol.

"No, no, no, how can you say that?"

Athena smiled as she picked up her teacup and said to Su Nian.

"Even if it is good luck, it should be your good luck; I am merely benefiting from your fortune."

"We in Greece have never mistreated our benefactors and will absolutely not let you suffer the slightest grievance."

Su Nian pressed down on Athena's hand, his mouth twitching.

Was this definitely not a plan to use repayment to trap him?

"No, no, no, this is clearly what Goddess Athena deserves; how can it be counted as my merit?"

Afterwards, Su Nian and Athena began to defer to each other regarding whose head the credit for the incomplete Trinity Spirit Status should be counted toward.

Leaving only Yadaina on the side with an expression of having learned something.

At this moment, Yadaina seemed to understand the lower limit of the Gods and Buddhas in Little Garden.

Just at this moment, a loud bang!

"Su Nian, don't panic, your boss is here to save you!"

Just looking at Su Nian tightly gripping Athena's hand and the two of them pushing and pulling at each other, Shiroyasha blinked in confusion.

Her gaze shifted constantly between Athena and Su Nian.

Finally, after her gaze lingered on Yadaina for a few seconds, it landed on Su Nian.

At this moment, Shiroyasha had already imagined a complete melodramatic TV series; yes, and it wasn't just ordinary melodrama.

Finally, Shiroyasha was silent for a moment and shouted.

"Why haven't you been beaten to death by Athena yet?"

"Why would I be beaten to death by Athena?"

Su Nian said in confusion; although he might have offended Athena a little, it wouldn't go so far as to get him beaten to death, right?

Athena definitely gained more benefits.

It was Athena's current attitude that made Su Nian feel strange; he guessed that it was mostly Algol acting up again, using this to thoroughly disgust Athena.

Algol's precision strike, what did that have to do with him?

"Alright."

The interest on Shiroyasha's face immediately diminished a lot; she had thought she would be able to see some fun.
