The Greece Antagonist-Chapter 748 - 148 Did Old Priestess Blunder

Chapter 748: Chapter 148: Did Old Priestess Blunder? Chapter 748: Chapter 148: Did Old Priestess Blunder? Late at night, in the Spartan commander’s tent.

Helen, Hecate, Diana, and several other decision-makers rushed over upon hearing about Hermes’ return.

Seeing the God of Speed, who was best at escaping, covered in wounds and looking half-dead, Helen couldn’t help expressing her surprise,

“How did you end up like this?”

“Let’s not talk about it, I ran into three Hundred-Handed Giants, all camped around the Temple of Fate. If I hadn’t been so alert and quick, I might not have made it back.”

Hermes guzzled a cup of wine, half in relief and half in fear as he bitterly complained.

Then, he looked suspiciously at Luo En and Hecate, who seemed not at all surprised,

“Tell me, did you two know that the Temple of Fate was a trap? Did you conspire to send me there?”

Hecate folded her arms and smiled innocently, “It was you who insisted on going, what does that have to do with me?”

...

Luo En rolled his eyes and huffed impatiently, “Enough with the complaints. Is there ever a completely safe choice? We’ve just spent significant effort in removing Zeus’s spies from Troy, and another is still in Mycenae’s camp. How about you handle the rest?”

At that, Hermes fell silent.

Compared to the three giants, he feared the Father God even more.

Noticing Hermes calming down, Luo En probed further,

“Those three giants didn’t follow you, did they?”

“Relax, I led them into the Chaos Sea Domain, and after several detours to ensure I completely shook them off, I dared to reunite with you all here in Troy.”

Hermes confidently replied, raising his now empty wine cup.

Standing behind, Luo En smiled casually and moved forward to refill his cup, displaying none of the airs expected of the Chief God and Commander of the Alliance.

Feeling subtly flattered, Hermes savored the wine and drunk it down, his brown eyes craftily shifting,

“However, this beating wasn’t for nothing. After shaking them off, I secretly snuck back to the Temple of Fate to see what really happened.”

“What did you find?”

Luo En perked up immediately and pressed for details.

Hermes shook his head, his expression grave,

“All three of The Fates were missing, and there seemed to be signs of damage inside the temple!”

“Indeed…”

Hecate murmured lowly, then nodded understandingly at Luo En, a shared comprehension in their eyes.

Seeing the indifferent reactions of Hecate and Luo En, Hermes looked startled, “Wait, why aren’t either of you surprised? It’s as if you know everything.”

“What’s there to be surprised about? There are only two possibilities.” Hecate responded coolly.

Luo En serenely added, “First, the situation might be optimistic, an unexpected glitch in the mechanism of Heavenly Destiny, leading The Fates to fall into a slumber; second, the situation is dire, and someone engineered this ‘accident’ and dealt with The Fates. Sensing something amiss, the gods from War God Mountain swiftly chose to hide, collectively going into hiding…

Given the signs of disorder currently escalating in Greece, we’re likely facing the second scenario.”

Disasters frequent, order in disarray…

The contract of Fate not only failed to weaken but actually increased its suppression of divine powers…

The closer to Olympus, the stronger the suppression…

All these signs could only indicate that the authority of Fate had shifted to the God King on Olympus. Naturally, the three old priestesses had already met their downfall.

“The Three Fates are gone? That can’t be possible, can it?” Hermes gasped, skeptical of Luo En’s chilling reasoning.

Although he sensed something might be wrong with The Fates, the idea of a total overthrow left him with a chill down his spine.

“No, theoretically, it’s quite possible…” Hecate slowly began, her gaze deep as she looked around, “If someone used Divinity stemming from the same source as The Fates to forge weapons and strike them when least expected, it might disrupt their coordination and crash their system. Besides me, a portion of the primordial fragments from Nyx remains in the hands of His Majesty the King of Gods.”

Hermes grimaced, dryly uttering, “The Goddess of Discord, Eris?”

Luo En nodded, providing evidence to back Hecate’s theory, “In the battle with the giants, Athena and I used the same-source Divinity from Typhon’s Offspring and Typhon to gradually erase the consciousness of the Demon Ancestor. If Zeus learned this method, or rather, turned Eris into a Deicide weapon and attached a specific curse, he indeed could make The Fates collapse internally!”

“That’s his daughter…”

Hermes started to object but suddenly realized and smiled bitterly while rubbing his forehead, “True, he hasn’t been sparing of his sons and daughters; one less wouldn’t matter.”

At this point, Diana, who had been anxiously listening to the dire news, grew restless:

“If The Fates have collapsed, doesn’t that mean Zeus almost holds all of Heavenly Destiny, that all of Greece is under his control? Then, wouldn’t my mother and the others have nowhere to hide? Could they already have…”

“It won’t be so, for even if the ‘Constant’ of Fate is strong, as long as the world turns, there will always be a space for ‘Chance’ to persist.”

Hecate shook her head gently, comforting with a soothing voice.
