The Greece Antagonist-Chapter 545 - 52 The Fall of Mechanical God Aphrodite

"Pfft!"

In the astonished eyes of Mechanical God Aphrodite, Luo En, gripping the golden dagger in reverse, thrust it into his own shoulder.

At the same time, the familiar azure glow of water and the crimson hue of blood streaked from the sky, speeding straight toward the courtyard.

—Mermaid Prince Triton and Mechanical God Ares!

As Mechanical God Aphrodite stood frozen in place, a mocking reminder reached her ears.

"It’s your turn to perform."

The next moment, the divine seal implanted within was activated and an irresistible will took over the entire divine core of Mechanical God Aphrodite.

Instantly, Mechanical God Aphrodite’s eyes went blank, and the automatically surging divine radiance, like quicksilver, covered her entire body, transforming her from red hair and golden eyes to the appearance of purple-black hair and amber eyes.

Was this... that woman?

Seeing her own reflection on the water surface, Mechanical God Aphrodite couldn’t help but be stunned.

"Aren’t you going to run? There’s not much time left."

The demonic-like voice rang in her ears once more, jolting Mechanical God Aphrodite into realization of the true intention of the person before her; she immediately blanched and, flustered, spread her wings, transforming into a pink streak of light and fleeing into the dense night.

By now, the azure light and crimson blood-color were already plummeting outside the courtyard with sharp breaking sounds, manifesting into the figures of Mermaid Prince Triton and Mechanical God Ares.

And as soon as the two entered the gate, they saw the courtyard in disarray and the figure with a dagger in their shoulder, sitting slumped and shaky before a stone table.

Medea, holding pastries and seemingly just having stepped out from the kitchen, dropped the tray in panic and rushed forward.

"Senior brother! What happened to you? Don’t scare me!"

The tearful enchantress hastily pulled out the golden dagger from her senior brother’s shoulder, attempting to heal him with spells, but the continuously bleeding wound showed no signs of closing.

Watching the scene unfold and the golden dagger on the ground that faintly emitted a sinister aura, the furiously arriving Prince Triton and Ares changed their expressions dramatically.

This dagger… it has the properties of Deicide!

At that moment, seeing Triton and Ares burst into the courtyard, the victim also snapped back to reality, pulling Medea behind and propping himself up with difficulty, looking coldly at the two unwelcome guests with a sneer.

"What now? One wasn’t enough, so two more have come? Want to continue trying to silence me by killing me? It won’t be so easy!"

With that said, Luo En scattered the divine blood oozing from his shoulder onto the ground, took a step forward, and the power of the Labyrinth instantly activated, sealing off the entire courtyard.

Sensing the surging intent to kill, Prince Triton, who faced it head-on, instantly turned pale and began waving his hands in denial, trying to explain.

"Misunderstanding! This is a misunderstanding!"

"Stop pretending! In order to prevent Thessaly’s defensive lines from being rebuilt and to weaken the resistance here, you chose to conspire with the Old Gods and attempt to assassinate me. That’s really too cunning! And to think, Admetos even believed you were on Thessaly’s side!"

Luo En accused, his face a picture of deep sorrow and indignation, and summoned a withered branch-like spear into his empty clutching hand.

Hearing these continuous accusations, Triton, with question marks crowding his mind and sweat drenching his back, couldn’t help but raise his voice in his own defense.

"Since when have we colluded with the Old Gods?"

"Denying it? How do you explain your subordinate, named Venus, holding this Deicide Dagger and attempting to assassinate me just now? And it even has the Old Gods’ crest on it!"

Luo En said, pointing to the golden dagger on the ground that possessed the characteristic of slaying the gods, as well as the crimson crest that appeared on the hilt, he interrogated sharply.

"This is the mark from the Underground Temple that symbolizes the Titan Gods’ authority, belonging to the Cottus Clan. Why does your Sea God Temple have a Deicide weapon inscribed with such an emblem, and moreover, specifically used it against me?"

"This thing isn’t the Sea God Temple’s product; it has absolutely nothing to do with us!"

Prince Triton quickly shook his head denying it, trying to clarify.

"I knew you wouldn’t easily admit it!" Luo En replied with a cold sneer, immediately activating the Shadow Crystal Stone in his hand. He showed Prince Triton and the Mechanical God Ares the two scenes where Enchantress Aphrodite held the golden dagger as she attacked him.

"The dagger is hers, and you also recognize the person. You watched clearly as she tried to kill me. What else is there to say now?"

Faced with overwhelming evidence like a mountain, Prince Triton found himself speechless, his mind turning into a complete mess.

How could the Mechanical God Aphrodite have an Old Gods’ Deicide weapon in her possession?

And use it to assassinate the hero who had just saved Thessaly from the giant’s hands?

Didn’t Father say that Mechanical God Aphrodite had encountered a big trouble, her presence disappeared, and he asked me to help?

How did it turn into what it is now? What on earth is going on?

"Hmph, if my life wasn’t so tough, perhaps my corpse would be cold by now!"

As Luo En angrily accused, he stirred the Divine Power within him. The spear tip that emitted an aura of annihilation pointed towards Prince Triton and the Mechanical God Ares, his gaze dark as he spoke.

"Tonight, if you don’t give me an explanation, I’ll get one from you!"

Watching the withered branch spear flickering with crimson flames approaching, Prince Triton couldn’t help but break out in a fine cold sweat on his forehead.

In the battle of Thessaly, he had personally witnessed the terrifying power of this thing killing hundreds of giants with a single blow.

"Stay calm! Please, calm down! Let me explain, the Sea God Temple has absolutely no intention of being your enemy, there must be some misunderstanding!"

The Mermaid Prince, retreating step by step to the corner, pressed his hands together earnestly, his face full of sincerity as he tried to persuade and defuse the tense atmosphere between them.

Meanwhile, the Mechanical God Ares, looking at the Shadow Crystal Stone on the stone table, seemed to recall something and said in a deep voice.

"The last scene, the image of her escaping this courtyard seems not quite right? It’s different from her usual appearance..."

Upon hearing it, Prince Triton also realized and quickly chimed in.

"Yes, that’s right, purple-black hair, amber eyes, it’s like she became a different person!"

"Became a different person?"

Ares furrowed his brows and muttered.

"Ever since she returned from the back mountain, I felt that woman was strange, almost as if she had changed her temperament..."

"Right, it was from that time! I also felt that woman started to act weirdly!"

Prince Triton clapped his hand excitedly, as if he had discovered the truth of the matter.

Similarly, after being reminded by the two, Luo En also seemed to notice something incongruent and spoke with furrowed brows.

"Now that you mention it, I remember coming across a woman with purple-black hair and amber eyes."

"Where?"

"In the Titan Temple built underground by the Giant Spirit Clan!"

As Luo En spoke, he traced the outline of the unnamed girl in the air before him.

"Ah, her!"

However, Prince Triton and the Mechanical God Ares, upon seeing the image of the suspicious target in midair, were all utterly perplexed.

Luo En quietly withdrew his observing gaze and inwardly furrowed his brows.

Even the Sea God Temple doesn’t know the origins of this woman?

At this moment, seeing a turn of events, Prince Triton hurriedly looked at the victim opposite him with a sincere expression.

"You see, we’ve been wrongly accused!"

"Then how do you explain this woman’s assassination attempt on me?"

"It was all her own doing! It has nothing to do with the Sea God Temple!"

"Nothing to do?"

Luo En let out a snort of derision, then grabbed Prince Triton’s hand and headed towards the door.

"Fine, let’s go to the Royal Palace and clarify this matter in front of Admetos, in front of everyone!"

"No!"

Prince Triton hurriedly interjected, his face showing misery.

Just what went wrong with the Mechanical God Aphrodite remained unknown and unverifiable.

But at this time, with the current evidence and leads, confronting everyone would render the Sea God Temple unable to wash away the accusation of collusion with the Old Gods, conspiracy to assassinate an ally, and undermining unity, not even if they plunged into the Sea of Okeanos.

Moreover, it was he, as the team leader, who had signaled for the Mechanical God Aphrodite to seduce at the banquet.

Once everything was linked together, he feared he’d be dragged out by angry Thessalians for a sacrificial offering tonight.

Luo En looked at Prince Triton’s miserable face and raised an eyebrow.

"You want me to keep this a secret for you?"

At this, Prince Triton nodded eagerly like a pecking chicken.

"Thessaly can’t afford disruption right now. Considering that we are all in the same boat, I can do the Sea God Temple this favor and act as if nothing happened tonight."

Luo En paused for a moment, then abruptly changed his tone.

"However, shouldn’t you show some equivalent sincerity? I can’t take this knife wound for nothing, can I?"

"For this reconstruction of Thessaly’s defenses, the Sea God Temple will provide not only the full material supply but also prepare an additional part for you. If you have any needs, let me know as soon as possible!"

With the conversation reaching this point, Prince Triton was naturally very cooperative.

Luo En nodded and asked casually.

"I’ve heard that the Sea God Temple’s scale armors are quite defensively capable and that they have been mass-produced…"

"Three hundred pieces! I am willing to allocate three hundred pieces of scale armor to be equipped within Thessaly’s Divine Blood Guard, contributing to the effort to resist the Giant Spirit Clan’s mischief."

"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime…"

"Rest assured, I’ll find a way to get you the designs."

Prince Triton clenched his teeth, agreeing to the rather harsh condition.

Luo En felt satisfied and his expression softened.

"It seems that this matter is likely a misunderstanding."

Prince Triton, sensing that the victim might be open to reconciliation, heaved a sigh of relief. Stay connected with novelbuddy

But before he could catch his breath, the person opposite pointed at the still-bleeding wound and showed a look of concern.

"However, with someone out there seeking my life, I fear I won’t be able to sleep tonight."

Hearing the significant murmur, Prince Triton’s heart chilled, and he hastened to assure.

"Rest easy. As soon as I return, I will immediately report to my father and ask him to strip that woman of her place in the Sea God Temple and cooperate fully with you in hunting down that traitor! Once we capture her, we’d certainly pry open her mouth to reveal the true mastermind behind the scenes!"

"And if she falls into my hands?"

"Kill her or flay her, as you see fit! None of it will have anything to do with the Sea God Temple!"

"Then I can rest easy."

Luo En patted Prince Triton on the shoulder, a friendly smile on his tense face.

"So next, let’s all work together to catch the real culprit as quickly as possible and clear the Sea God Temple’s name!"

Watching the victim point to the image of the girl with purple-black hair and amber eyes lingering in the air, Prince Triton finally let go of the tension, a knowing smile spreading across his face.

Indeed, what Mechanical God Aphrodite? What seduction?

It was clearly the remnant of the Old Gods who had infiltrated the Royal City of Thessaly, attempting mischief against the hero who defeated the giants!

Without a word said, the two sides reached an understanding and parted ways, satisfied, each digesting their gains and losses.

As Prince Triton and the Mechanical God Ares vanished into the thick night, a red-haired Mechanical Goddess squatting in a cave, watching the entire scene unfold through the Resonance Technique, cursed loudly.

"They just sold me out like that? And pushed all the blame onto me? The Sea God Temple is a bunch of garbage!"

After a venting of rage, the Mechanical God Aphrodite touched the still warm cross mark on her forehead, steeling her heart.

A betrayal, is it? Well, damn it, today I truly will betray!
