The Greece Antagonist-Chapter 599 - 82: Why are you wearing someone else’s clothes and using someone else’s belongings?

Thessaly Defense Line, a small grove near the military camp.

An oppressive aura spread out, drowning all the clamor.

Nearby birds perched on branches, shivering in their nests, insects, bees, and butterflies on the ground all trembled in fear, not daring to make even the slightest peep. The whole forest was silent, except for crisp scolding echoing under the moonlight.

"Sit down~!"

"Woof!"

"Lift your paw, shake~"

"Woof woof!"

"First roll over, then have the left head bite the right ear, the right head bite the left ear, and tuck the tail into the middle head’s mouth."

"Woof?"

"So stupid, can’t you understand that?"

The two Gorgon Demons squatting on the ground watched the bewildered Cerberus stock-still in place, affectionately giggling as they rubbed the dog head beside each of them.

"Awoo~~"

The infamous and brutal dog of the Underworld King, Cerberus, now lay submissively in front of his sisters, like a docile puppy, enjoying the petting and training, seemingly quite content.

"By the way, Cerberus, weren’t you guarding the gates of the Netherworld? Why did you run off to Thessaly?"

"Come on, confess, did you sneak out!"

Stheno and Euryale scratched the chins of the dog heads beside them, smiling as they pried for information, planning to blackmail some benefits from their elder brother once they got a hold of his lapse.

"Woof woof!"

With a burst of happy barking from Cerberus, the two little demons learned the whole story.

"Oh, so you were summoned up here."

"That guy was involved too? He left you in the Mortal World?"

Stheno and Euryale exchanged glances, their eyes flashing mysteriously.

Related to that guy? This made them even more excited.

Brother-in-law, you wouldn’t want the Underworld King to find out you broke the rules of the Netherworld, would you?

Meanwhile, in the tent.

Luo En, who was drafting the alliance contract on a parchment scroll, suddenly felt a chill and sneezed hard.

"Achoo~!"

"What’s the matter? Caught a cold?"

The Goddess of Wisdom, "Athena", or rather, the Ocean Nymph Thetis, disguised as "Athena", gently held her husband’s arm, showing concern.

"With my constitution, I hardly think so. I reckon someone must be talking about me behind my back again," Luo En said with a light chuckle, shaking his head. He then wrote down the final stroke and handed the roughly drafted alliance contract to Thetis for review.

Thetis took the sheepskin scroll filled with Hermes Script, glanced over it briefly, and couldn’t help but roll her eyes teasingly at her husband.

This thing was less an alliance contract and more like a servitude agreement.

Not only was it written throughout in the very binding Hermes script, but the related terms also contained highly potent self-enforcing testimonies.

It was a kind of Magic Secret Ceremony used when forging an absolutely unbreakable agreement, which could effectively prevent breach of contract.

Once the parties that signed the contract violated the stipulations, the secret text could use the divine names at the bottom to apply the corresponding curse to a certain degree onto the person of the violator.

Moreover, her own husband had listed the names of the river Styx, the Goddess of Justice Themis, and the Three Fates as guarantors.

Backed by these three, it was virtually impossible to nullify its effectiveness by any means. If the parties to the alliance could sign their names on the document and fulfill the conditions of the oath, making the document effective, the imprints and curses on it would still track down the souls of both parties, even if the oath-takers had already died, and continue to fulfill the agreement.

And the reason Thetis called it a servitude agreement was that it only explicitly and meticulously outlined the responsibilities and obligations of the Ocean God System, while the demands on Luo En himself were mostly vague, leaving a lot of room for maneuver.

Yet, Thetis had no intention of standing up for her father Nereus or those Ocean Gods.

Because the signing party’s names were her own and Luo En’s.

That is to say, once the alliance contract was passed, she would enjoy equal rights with her husband, eligible to command the Ocean Gods who came to swear fealty.

Plus, the price would be paid by her own husband, and she would not need to make any sacrifices for it.

"There’s no need for you to do all this for me..." Thetis looked softly at Luo En, her eyes brimming with unspoken emotion.

"What silly things you’re saying, you’re my wife," Luo En said with a gentle laugh, teasingly stroking his wife’s nose, his gaze warm and steadfast, "United as one, for better or for worse!"

The deep murmur poured into Thetis’ chest from beside her ear, sweeping away the melancholy that had grown in her heart due to their long separation.

United as one, for better or for worse.

Such words are easy to say, but how many couples in Greece could really achieve it?

Just by considering his wife, Luo En was far superior to others.

"Do you, too, have no confidence that we can win this war?"

Thetis held Luo En’s hand, looking worriedly at her husband.

As a goddess also known for "wisdom", her sharpness was not inferior to Athena’s, especially when it came to sensing danger and planning self-preservation.

Before the final battle with the giants had begun, her husband, leveraging the Ocean Gods joining their cause, had already thought ahead of an escape route for her.

Such actions actually indicated that in this war between the old and new gods, her husband did not have full confidence in victory.

"The circumstances of war change in an instant; where’s the surety of victory?"

Luo En laughed lightly, tapping Thetis’ hand and sharing his viewpoint.

"If there’s a thirty percent chance of winning, it’s worth a try; fifty percent is good enough to go all out; seventy percent certainty merits staking everything; and as for a so-called hundred percent chance, a sure win usually turns out to be a trap that requires extra caution."
