The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　One example is the "family reunion" ceremony.

　This is especially true of deities, especially those of high rank; they cannot casually "recognize relatives."

　Because "the gods do not speak in jest".

　For a god of Apollo's stature, once he "recognizes kinship," he will break the rules and forcibly link the two together.

　What was originally unrelated can become related. This is far more serious than the "Chosen Ones".

　Using Athena and Ergane as examples makes the "seduction" even more obvious.

　Because Athena and Ergane were not "recognizing each other as relatives" at all; they were already related.

　Darke still lacked understanding of this point, and simply regarded Apollo's words as a tactful remark.

　He certainly didn't believe the so-called "adopted daughter" story. Instead, he sensed the "anger" that Apollo was suppressing within him.

　Yes, he had already sensed that Apollo was angry. "...

　"He got angry over just this? Why does he value Ollie so much?"

　Dark had his doubts and immediately adjusted his assessment of the matter's importance.

　Then, he found an angle in Apollo's words and began, "Officiating at the wedding..."

　Apollo smiled and shook his head: "How slow-witted."

　Ollie froze completely in place.

　Chapter 1675 Darkdemon and the Three Fates (14k)

　These words were tantamount to completely exposing Ollie's true feelings to the public.

　Apollo can be quite terrifying when he gets angry.

　However, what Pao didn't know was that Dak had already seen through Ollie's feelings. But deep down, he was also conflicted and unsure how to handle this relationship.

　"Pride," "ecstasy," and "greed" are the emotions he is currently studying most deeply.

　However, since Apollo wants to demonstrate that "angering Chi is a serious matter," perhaps we should grant Pao's request.

　Dak's thoughts shifted, and he suddenly turned to look at Ollie, his face showing astonishment. Ollie immediately felt as if she were on fire.

　Although she was a few years older than Dak, she was actually a complete novice in love. In fact, she was not as good as Dak, who had already had a relationship.

　However, she was merely shy; her thoughts weren't clouded by it. Essentially, she was not the type to let emotions cloud her judgment.

　A scenario like "You only lost a leg, but I lost my love" is impossible.

　Even the freezing in place and incoherent speech were all acted.

　—Let's just treat it as an act!

　...

　Apollo pursed his lips and smiled.

　Sleeve probably intended to show a "sneer," but what she ultimately presented was a breathtakingly beautiful smile.

　Those who lack a strong will, regardless of gender, will likely succumb to this smile.

　Apollo continued, raising his voice: "You can't even sense the feelings of your closest confidante? Well, I suppose so. Given her status as a maid, you probably wouldn't even look at her."

　Chi is still trying to sow discord between Aoli and has not given up on making her (the Chosen One).

　But this time, Dark said decisively, "No, she has always been my family."

　But as soon as he finished speaking, Dark realized he had said the wrong thing...

　As the saying goes, even the most meticulous plans can have flaws. After all, he was someone who had only been in one relationship, and it was a mutual relationship where neither of them pursued the other. His experience in this area was pitifully small, so it was understandable that he might accidentally say something wrong.

　However, he was a meticulous thinker and immediately realized the problem once it was mentioned, thus creating room for improvement.

　Therefore, he quickly added, "Even more important than family."

　"bass!"

　A fiery cloud appeared on Ollie's cheek, and it even made the sound of flames igniting.

　Her hands hung down at her sides, fingers clasped tightly, her head bowed so low it was almost pressed against her chest.

　This time, it really wasn't an act.

　"what."

　Apollo laughed out loud.

　Chi loved this kind of dramatic performance and for a long time was called "a god living in the theater".

　Therefore, Pao was very interested in Darko Dimon, the creator of "television".

　Dark would never have guessed that the reason he would eventually receive the invitation to the Apollo Tea Party would be because of "television".

　Apollo was even secretly planning to break through existing magical technology and film a long-running TV series featuring Apollo as the main character.

　If the project succeeds, he will go down in history as the director, screenwriter, and lead actor of the world's first full-length television series.

　That's why Pao was so friendly when he first met Dak at the tea party.

　They would only show extraordinary interest in helping Ollie express her feelings and facilitating the marriage of the two men and women.

　Of course, Pao knew that Dark and Pandora were a couple. After all, Dark and Pandora had received Aphrodite's blessing at the World Cup.

　—But isn't this just right?

　—To forsake Cupid's blessing and run off to a new romance—what could be a better or more interesting story?

　Chi definitely hasn't watched "Empresses in the Palace".

　Apollo moved his finger, and the sound suddenly replayed, reaching the ears of the "teacher and student" next door.

　Chi is not good at stirring up trouble, but he does enjoy watching melodramatic romance dramas.

　However, this subtle action did not achieve the desired effect. Chi saw Pandora glance in their direction, but only glance. Then, he saw Aphrodite glance in their direction, revealing a meaningful smile.

　Apollo was not happy.

　The speed at which the "God of Light" changes his mood is beyond comprehension.

　Dak couldn't sense Chi's emotions; he could only deduce his thoughts from subtle changes in Pao's expression.

　Both sides at the table fell silent due to various unforeseen events.

　"Let's talk about Nikola," Darke finally broke the silence. Because silence wouldn't solve anything.

　He had to find a way to keep the conversation going, no matter what. Luckily, Apollo was cooperative: "A cat named Nicholas."

　“Hmm,” Dark nodded. “The establishment of the ‘Chosen Ones’ shouldn’t be limited to humans, right?”

　Apollo said, "Of course. After all, there are gods who like to establish plants as 'chosen ones.'"

　"You're talking about Demeter behind his back like that, won't he be unhappy?" Dark, too lazy to retort, continued, "That cat, it forged a sixth-tier 'God Card,' and is a light-type angel, a 'Four-Winged Angel.'"

　He then recounted the story of *Alice and the Cat* in detail. Having experienced the previous events, Apollo was surprisingly calm and did not object to his narration. Dark couldn't fathom whether Chi had abandoned Olivia, but he had to finish what needed to be said. After a while, Apollo suddenly said, "Are you sure that cat isn't a god?"

　Dark frowned and said, "It shouldn't be."

　At this point, Apollo actually lowered his head and began to ponder deeply.

　Dak turned to pick up his teacup, and in doing so, exchanged a glance with Ollie.

　Apollo's unexpected attention to Ollie was something he hadn't anticipated, and he still doesn't know why.

　However, the existence of the white cat Nicholas also seemed to unexpectedly attract Apollo's extra attention.

　If the two can be balanced, there might be a chance.

　Aoli lowered her head shyly after being glanced at by him. Dark had no choice but to turn back, sighing inwardly.

　Selling sweet potatoes is worse than dating.

　The lab is more suitable for him!

　While Apollo was deep in thought, Apollo was successfully advancing the "Art Congress" on the other side.

　The artists were incredibly excited; this was the opportunity they had been waiting for, and naturally, they all used their unique talents to achieve their goals.

　In contrast, the camp of Athena, the goddess of war and wisdom, on the other side seemed too peaceful.

　But there are only nine there... minus Ergani, that makes eight.

　Even if Athena were to hold some kind of grand event there, it certainly wouldn't be a lively affair.

　Moreover, Athena didn't actually hold any grand gathering.

　Chi suddenly produced an exam paper that was eight meters long when fully unfolded, and had everyone except Ergani start answering the questions.

　As a result, this side of the camp became even quieter.

　And what's most terrifying is that Athena didn't promise to make the top scorer the "Chosen One" like Aphrodite and Apollo did. Chi disappeared after handing out the exam papers, and Ergane became the proctor.

　Those invited here by Athena are not easily fooled. Those who aspire to become "Chosen Ones" are all wondering if Athena is recruiting "Chosen Ones" from other factions.

　And unfortunately, their suspicions were quite correct.

　Athena was not uninterested in the "God's Cup"; she had a desire to "go further".

　Chi was slow to act because his attention was drawn to Ergane. The competition among the Twelve Celestials is extremely fierce.

　If you're too slow, you'll lose everything.

　If he had any choice, he would have already taken the principal of St. Mary's College home with him, instead of wandering around like this.

　Of course, he wouldn't admit that he was having fun.

　After last night's reconnaissance, Athena has identified her target. Chi's primary objective is to capture a "Chosen One" capable of guarding the temple.

　This target must possess magical talent, combat potential, and a wise mind. Ideally, they should be proficient in both literary and martial arts, fulfilling the robe's primary function of "war and wisdom," and a pure and innocent girl is preferred.

　So Shih brought Saraswati from St. Marian College.

　However, in Chi's mind, Sarah was only a backup option.

　If he really couldn't get her, he would have to settle for this and choose Sarah as the "Chosen One".

　He had already gleaned information from Sarah's thoughts; she shouldn't refuse.

　Athena first found Emily, but failed to persuade her to leave the "Holy Church".

　Some gods are indifferent to faith, such as Ares, the god of war. Other gods, however, cannot be indifferent to faith, such as Apollo, the god of light.

　Athena didn't completely rule out this aspect, but she placed great importance on "loyalty."

　To become one of Chi's "chosen ones," one must possess absolute "loyalty."

　Therefore, there are no "Zodiac" maids in his camp.

　—It's definitely not because I didn't manage to get one!

　In short, after being turned away by the "God of War," Athena infiltrated the camp of Artemis, the "Goddess of the Hunt."

　The robe and Artemis didn't get along, and the person who stole the robe felt a great sense of satisfaction.

　Moreover, Artemis amassed a huge number of people this time, which made Pao very unhappy.

　Chi discovered Eudora and Diana within Artemis's camp and thought it would be wonderful if the two of them could merge together.

　But Eudora alone and Diana alone do not meet God's requirements.

　One of them lacked courage, and the other lacked wisdom; these were fundamental problems that could not be solved at all.

　After observing this generation's "Hero," he was surprised to find that the "Hero's" destiny was already established. But something strange seemed amiss. Connecting this to the recent rumors circulating among humans, he immediately saw through the truth and stopped paying attention. Then, he set his sights on a potential target—the "Beast Sage," Claire Kate!

　Claire's name appeared in Athena's notebook as a sub-option of "Valkyrie" Alvestress.

　However, because of her advanced age, she is only a backup option.

　After escaping from Artemis's camp, Athena infiltrated Hestia's camp.

　There, he unexpectedly discovered many targets who met his requirements: brave, wise, skilled in combat, with a foundation in magic, and also an innocent young girl.

　Many maids from the "Virgo" and "Aries" houses meet the requirements. However, the problem with these maids is that they are not prominent enough.

　Capel, while exceptionally skilled in combat, lacked intelligence. This led Pao to wonder if his expectations were too high. That is, until Chi discovered Emma Metis in the corner.
