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

　therefore.

　Athena's goal today is to snatch Emma from Hestia, the "Goddess of the Hearth".

　"Twelve Movements" Sky Garden.

　All twelve Olympians have begun their work according to their own plans. Hestia, the goddess of the hearth and patron goddess of the home, has conducted extensive investigations into human society since her awakening. She can be considered, besides Hermes, the Olympian who understands modern human society best.

　Therefore, Pao keenly captured that "tide of change," which was the rise of "feminism."

　Therefore, the robe attracted some "feminists," hoping to increase understanding of this emerging trend through them.

　Chi needs to clearly understand whether this emerging trend of thought is helpful or detrimental to the survival of the "family" in order to effectively and accurately spread his beliefs.

　If necessary, he might select a "feminist" and designate her as the second type of "chosen one" to conduct a social experiment.

　As for the first type of "chosen ones," she specifically selected two targets as candidates.

　One is Emma Metis from St. Marian's Academy. The other is Capel from the "Zodiac" maid corps. Sleeve's definition of the first type of "Chosen Ones" is someone who can undertake the task of guarding and who can inherit their main authority, that is, "the fire".

　Hestia governs the household affairs of all people. Fire symbolizes her existence and is the guarantee of the perpetuity, stability, harmony, and prosperity of families. She is the most important authority on earth.

　Counterintuitively, his authority does not require "fire attribute". "Inheritance" is the core of the robe's authority.

　Emma was her intended target, while Capel was an unexpected bonus. Some people's potential remains unseen until it blossoms. Hestia, however, possessed the divine power to discern potential.

　In the Hestia meeting today, Pao proposed the major theme of "The Inheritance and Continuation of Civilization," encouraging the invitees to discuss and debate it. Di would then extract the experience and knowledge he wanted from it, and then determine the candidates for the second type of "Chosen Ones."

　Hestia saw Athena's arrival, but she paid no attention.

　The robe even knew Athena's purpose in coming.

　He could relinquish Emmamethes if Athena gave the word. After all, he had another option—Capel.

　But Athena stood in the hall of robes for a while, then suddenly turned and left.

　Hestia watched Chi's retreating figure, shook her head slightly, and then suddenly whispered, "Hurry up, hurry up."

　Then Athena suddenly turned around and snatched Emma away. Things you steal always taste better, right?

　After the robe disappeared, Hestia shook her head and smiled, a hint of envy in her eyes. How could one not envy someone who, after so much time and reincarnation, could still maintain such a pure and innocent girlish heart?

　His eyes turned.

　Emma appeared in Athena's hall, completely bewildered. She saw Saraswati sitting next to her, engrossed in answering questions, and instinctively wanted to ask her something.

　But Athena, who appeared with her, simply shoved a test paper in front of her.

　"Do."

　Emma turned her head and saw Ergani, feeling slightly relieved. Finally, the instinct of the town's test-taker was triggered, and she buried herself in her work.

　Athena was satisfied. She whispered a few words in Ergane's ear, then turned to look at the next room and pointed at Apollo.

　Ergane's expression remained unchanged, only looking at Dark with worry in her eyes. Athena crossed her arms, chin tilted towards Apollo, assuming a domineering stance. Ergane suddenly spoke a few words, and Athena's eyebrows furrowed, her expression towards Apollo becoming more menacing.

　Perhaps he knew about the "adopted daughter".

　Apollo was still deep in thought when he suddenly felt a chill. He instinctively turned around and saw Athena with her eyebrows raised in anger.

　Pao was completely unconcerned, lowered his head and sneered, not believing that Athena's existence could have any impact on his decision.

　Beauty is his outward appearance, but martial prowess is his inner essence. He is also a long-range archery god, the "King of Archery" and the "King of the Golden Sword".

　He was not afraid in the slightest of any challenge Athena might issue.

　However, there is a competition agreement among the twelve gods, in the event of a dispute, the "Chosen One" will be given priority to fight on their behalf.

　Therefore, the robe became even more certain that he wanted to choose a "chosen one" with unparalleled combat power!

　With her [Aries Gold Armor], Aoli is the perfect candidate to meet the requirements of the robe.

　Because with just a drop of blood, he can evolve the [Aries Gold Armor] into a divine artifact.

　……

　Even so, Apollo decided to first summon the white cat Nicholas to take a look.

　—The robe is indeed very "reasonable." The white cat Nicholas is currently taking a nap at the counter of the Magic Duel Club branch in Welfare Town.

　Alice is going to an orphanage to take care of children, so she's temporarily leaving the shop in its care.

　Taking advantage of the quiet midday, it fell fast asleep. Little did it know, bad news travels fast, and it was simply living its ordinary life when it was targeted.

Chapter 1675 Darkdemon and the Three Fates (2/3)

　Under the watchful eyes of Dark and Ollie, Apollo casually conjured up an invitation, wrote Alice Christopher's approximate address and name on it, then imbued it with his mind, locked onto the target, resealed it, and flicked his finger.

　The invitation flashed with golden light, disappeared into the void, flew directly out of the Heavenly Court, and then appeared above Alice's head, flying into her hand. Alice was busy taking care of her child's afternoon nap when she suddenly saw a golden card flying towards her and instinctively grabbed it.

　In that instant, a very pleasant voice entered her ears, urging her to find her cat, activate the invitation, and go to the Heavenly Court to attend the tea party.

　"Fake...fraud"

　Alice stared in surprise at the invitation in her hand.

　Her intelligence-gathering skills were not ideal, but she still knew about the "Celestial Tea Party" that had spread throughout the world in an instant.

　But didn't the tea party start last night? Are scammers this brazen now? Does Alice look like such an easily fooled idiot?

　Emmm...

　Or perhaps we should ask Nikolai.

　After hesitating for a while, Alice hurriedly ran out of the orphanage after finding a newly hired nanny to take care of the children.

　But as soon as she stepped out of the orphanage, she turned back.

　Because a kitten with an angry expression had appeared in front of her. "Buzz buzz."

　(An invitation to a tea party from Apollo, the "God of Light")

　From sending the invitation to receiving a response, it took less than five minutes.

　Apollo drank half a pot of tea in those five minutes.

　At one point, he suddenly raised his hand and opened a gold-rimmed door beside him.

　Alice, clutching the little white cat tightly, carefully stepped through the door.

　Alice spotted Dark Dimon sitting opposite Apollo at first glance. Her tense expression relaxed instantly, and her steps became more cheerful.

　"Where am I? The Heavenly Tea Party wasn't a scam after all."

　Alice looked around excitedly, until the moment she saw Apollo, her gaze suddenly froze, and her face flushed red.

　Apollo's expression softened slightly; this is the normal reaction of an ordinary person seeing a god.

　“Buwoo”.

　But Nicholas the white cat seemed unable to bear the embarrassment, and with a leap, he jumped out of Alice's arms and into Dark's arms.

　Dak caught it, reached out and stroked it, and after a few strokes it made it squeal.

　"This is the Nikolai you were talking about."

　Apollo finally shifted his gaze from Alice. In those few seconds of observation, he had determined that Alice was neither a reincarnation of a god nor possessed by any fragments of divine soul.

　Therefore, the only possible source of all the anomalies is the white cat. But then a problem arises.

　Chi failed to see through the white cat's true nature. First of all, it was definitely not a "god." And then, that was it.

　Under these circumstances, even he had to admit that the cat that Dark recommended was truly a rare find.

　After a long pause, Apollo pointed at Nicholas and asked, "Can't you speak?" Nicholas retorted, "Hey hey hey! (You can't speak, your whole family can't speak!)"

　Apollo was somewhat puzzled: "It seems he really can't speak..." As he spoke, he raised his hand, white light gathering at his fingertips, and pointed it at Nicholas's forehead.

　However, the white light was absorbed as soon as the robe touched it, and Nikolai could only meow, just like an ordinary cat.

　But in fact, although Nikolai cannot speak, he can transmit sound through spirit or magic.

　After careful consideration, Apollo said softly, "I originally thought that even if it wasn't a god, it was at least the reincarnation of some divine artifact. It turns out it's neither."

　As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Athena appear beside the table and reach out to grab Nicholas by the back of the neck.

　Nikolai was helplessly strangled by the back of his neck.

　Athena held it from head to tail, then from tail to head, and finally clicked her tongue and threw it back to Dark.

　—This cat has testicles.

　Dak took Nikolai and then gestured for Alice to sit down.

　He tried to invite Athena to sit down, but she tossed the cat back to him and then turned and left.

　Emma and Sarah, engrossed in answering the questions, were unaware that their opportunity had almost slipped through their fingers.

　Athena's reaction made Apollo think even more highly of Nicholas. Chi pondered for a moment, preparing to activate the "prophecy" to predict Nicholas's future after he became his [Chosen One].

　The future is not entirely immutable.

　So-called "prophecy" is merely an observation of one possibility for the future.

　Even "divine prophecies" are not 100% accurate. Apollo used his sacred cauldron to correct prophecies, thereby increasing their accuracy.

　Therefore, after losing the triangular tripod, the success rate of his "predictions" would inevitably decline.

　But such a robe is not perfect, so it does not exist.

　In order to reduce the number of times the "prophecy" fails, he has reduced the frequency of using the "prophecy" as much as possible.

　However, some habits that have already been formed cannot be changed overnight.

　When he felt lost and uncertain about the future, he still habitually activated the "prophecy." The "prophecy" was activated.

　Star trails appeared behind Apollo's head. The sun, the moon, stars, the Milky Way... Yes, Apollo was using "astrology".

　Chi's eyes seemed to contain the universe, with the star symbolizing the sun shining the brightest within.

　That is undoubtedly the "Starry Eye".

　But after the "prophecy" ended, Apollo's face suddenly turned pale, and his brows furrowed tightly for a long time.

　Dark couldn't help but ask, "How was it?"

　Apollo looked at him and said directly, "I don't see it becoming my 'Chosen One' in the future."

　Dark was startled and instinctively said, "Does that mean it can't be classified as a [Chosen One]?"

　Apollo's gaze remained fixed on Nicholas, neither confirming nor denying. "...

　Dak's mood took a sharp turn for the worse.

　They finally introduced Nicholas, and finally managed to pique Apollo's interest. It even triggered a "prophecy," but why did it end up like this?

　If Nicholas cannot become Apollo's "chosen one," then all his efforts will be in vain.

　"..."

　"Let me try."

　Suddenly, Apollo spoke to the white cat. After much deliberation, Dark handed Nicholas over to the robe.

　Without hesitation, Apollo directly tried to designate Nicholas as his "chosen one".

　But the divine light illuminated the white cat's body, yet it could not penetrate its interior.

　After a long while, Apollo withdrew his divine light and said regretfully, "No."

　In the process of trying to establish Nicholas as the "Chosen One," he discovered that although the cat was not a "god" and did not possess "divinity," it contained the universe within it, like a "divine kingdom," and was truly a great light and a great mystery.

　It may be far inferior to the twelve gods in terms of ability, but it must have something special about its origin.

　Apollo was genuinely considering making her one of the "Chosen Ones." If his previous attempt had succeeded, he might have given up on Ollie.

　Seeing this, Dark immediately had a flash of inspiration and said, "What about Alice? Nicholas and Alice have a close connection. Choosing Alice as the 'Chosen One' would be the same."

　Apollo turned to look at Alice, who blinked, revealing a hint of "innocence."

　“How about this?” Apollo said, looking at Dark.

　In any case, Nikola's appearance did indeed shake Chi's resolve. Dak waited earnestly for Apollo to continue.

　Apollo considered for a moment, then said, "I won't make things difficult for you. If you can surpass those masters in any art form, I will reconsider the selection of the 'Chosen One.'"

　This is called not making things difficult.
