I, with my frail and sickly body, simultaneously traverse hundreds of worlds.

The temptation failed to evoke any evil thoughts. Medusa moved nimbly, clinging to the chains, each movement pulling the spiderwebs along with her.

The chains falling from above constantly target Bai Zhi's position, launching a continuous barrage of attacks that will make anyone completely abandon any thoughts of pleasure.

"Hey, I'm warning you one last time. If you don't stop now, I'm going to get serious and make my move with the determination to kill you."

As she finished speaking, Bai Zhi's voice carried a hint of murderous intent.

Athena asked Bai Zhi to seize Medusa's petrifying eye to fight against the hundred-eyed giant's death eye, partly with the intention of allowing Bai Zhi to gain the merit of slaying Gorgon and expand the hero's influence.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, Bai Zhi does not intend to follow Athena's plan and would prefer to resolve the matter peacefully. Unfortunately, Medusa does not intend to give him that opportunity.

The chains, falling like a deluge, were like deadly venomous snakes, each strike aimed at a vital spot that would kill.

At one point, Bai Zhi stopped in her tracks.

The attack, twisted into a long spear, was about to fall;

The whipping of air, cutting through the front and back, is about to approach;

Left and right, the chains surrounding them blocked their last escape route.

"Sigh, I really don't want to do it. I can imagine that when I get back, some wandering bards will start spreading my story."

Where did this fictional historian come from?

He closed his eyes with regret, and the moment he opened them again, a deep crimson color covered his eyes.

Immortal divine power filled his entire body, and the surge in his physical abilities brought him superhuman strength that rivaled Medusa's.

In an instant, his arms spread out, grabbing the rapidly extending chains on his left and right.

The excruciating pain from the friction between her palm and the chain swept through her mind—a pain strong enough to make someone faint. Yet Bai Zhi's expression remained unchanged, and the strength of her grip on the chain increased until it completely stopped the chain from extending.

Using her right leg as her center of gravity, Bai Zhi suddenly spun around, causing the entire chain web to spun, disrupting the deployment of force and slowing down the attacks coming from above and in front and behind. At the same time, she used the tightly gripped chains as a defense to resist this wave of attacks.

pain?

It's not that they can't, but that they're unwilling.

Having endured the entire process of being burned and forged in Hephaestus's forging furnace, Bai Zhi's tolerance for pain has reached an inhuman level.

"If it's not necessary, to be honest, I (Bai Zhi) will try to resolve arguments with words if they can be settled with words, because I don't like to use violence to communicate. I won't insist on winning against others, nor will I create trouble for myself or make enemies for no reason."

This is my attitude towards life, and I know that this is my own happiness.

Bai Zhi loosened her grip on the chains, and the creases on her palms, which had been rubbed raw, visibly returned to their original state. It's a pity that simple happiness is not easy to find in this era.

Too many gods interfered. The mortal life he longed for was destined to be impossible when he prayed to the gods.

"But if it really comes down to a fight, I won't lose to anyone."

Once he decided to take action, there was no more hesitation. He assumed the stance of the Inch Heart Fist, intending to kill his opponent with his bare fists. With his immortal body, as long as the enemy wasn't powerful enough to kill him in one blow, he would be invincible.

"Its recovery ability is troublesome; a head-on confrontation would be a huge disadvantage."

Medusa landed lightly on the ground, without stirring up a speck of dust, like a venomous snake hunting its prey, contemplating whether to remove her blindfold and deliver a fatal blow to Bai Zhi.

The atmosphere grew tense. Medusa and Bai Zhi calmed themselves and focused their attention, searching for each other's weaknesses.

Suddenly, an unexpected event occurred.

"Medusa, where's lunch? Euryale's starving, and so am I. Bring lunch over before your stomach starts growling! Don't make me say it twice!"

A melodious and alluring voice drifted from the depths of the island, accompanied by the soft rustling of friction. A necklace adorned her neck and knees, and with each gentle step and a smile, she exuded the aura of a 'perfect' goddess as she approached the battlefield between the two.

Her purple twin ponytails extended to her knees, and a solid-colored pleated skirt wrapped around her delicate and fragile body. The jet-black rose tied to her chest further embellished her beauty.

"Oh, a guest! A stranger from afar, are you a new hope, or an approaching storm?"

When Stheno, the eldest of the three Gorgon sisters, saw Angelica, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then her smile widened.

The third generation of gods, however, reversed the natural order and gave birth to the seed of the second generation of Titans. Interesting child, we can use him to turn the tables on those gods who bullied Medusa.

"Under the sun, invincible bravery; in the moonlight, absolute defense; forged in the crucible of fire and iron hammers, an immortal form; alluring child, it seems I could devour you whole~"

Medusa, startled, placed her hands on her lower back. Stheno, taking small, quick steps, approached, lifting Bai Zhi's chin with her index finger. Noticing the latter's slightly evasive gaze and her gradually reddening earlobes, she let out a silvery laugh, bringing her cheek even closer. She spoke:

"I am a goddess. A phenomenon born to capture any daring man. Be careful, a little taste is fine, but don't fall completely for me~"

The Book of the Greek Gods and Their Sons: Chapter 123 The Island of No Form

Stheno.

A perfect goddess will praise and flatter any man she encounters.

While possessing elegance and nobility, they also have a strong aversion to trouble.

He was extremely cold-blooded towards those who were insignificant, and his attitude could even frighten a ruthless killer into trembling.

At this moment, Steno clung to Bai Zhi, occasionally reaching out to gently stroke his body.

“Medusa, that child, has the strength to keep her on the defensive in battle. Child, your strength is now in the first tier among Greek heroes.” Double Stheno cupped Bai Zhi’s cheeks and gazed into her sparkling eyes: “Handsome young man, there is a lion in your eyes. After the timid child in your heart grows up, your achievements will be beyond the comprehension of even the gods.”

Her soft fingers rubbed against his skin, and the goddess felt the divine power and inner strength contained within his flesh, nodding in satisfaction.

"This immortal power... it seems the current God of Forging is very fond of you. The divine power consumed and used as auxiliary materials during the forging process has exceeded the scope required for many divine artifacts. In my opinion, only Zeus's thunderbolt, Poseidon's trident, and Hades' helmet can compare."

In terms of strength, he probably can't even beat a hunter.

As for discerning eyesight, Stheno, an ancient goddess who has survived from the second generation of the Greek pantheon to the present day, can almost see through Angelica dahurica.

The essence of power, the human heart, and that rebellion against the gods, which is always buried deep within and unknown to outsiders.

"Ahem, Goddess, it's not appropriate for me to say that, but men and women shouldn't touch each other, especially since I'm human and you're a god."

Bai Zhi pressed her hands on Stheno's shoulders and pushed her away, secretly relieved.

As expected of a phenomenon that claims to have been born to captivate any lover, Stheno's charm and beauty have surpassed human comprehension.

Among the many memories shared by Bai Zhi, there have been many beauties, but none as beautiful as Stheno.

It's hard to imagine the extent of Aphrodite's allure, the goddess who symbolizes the concept of 'beauty'.

"I have no interest in humans or the future. I just want us to live together on the island, and being loved is my duty. I'm used to being interfered with. Ah, but please don't get me wrong, I... I haven't fallen in love with you~"

Stheno wasn't annoyed. It would be a waste to 'eat' an interesting toy too early without playing with it properly. After that, she would have to return to her boring daily routine of only being able to order Medusa around.

"Come, come, child, let's enjoy the feast prepared by Medusa. Her skills have been recognized by both me and the goddess Euryale."

"Sister, this person doesn't have good intentions."

"Medusa, I don't want to repeat myself."

"...Yes, yes, my dear sister, I understand."

Medusa glared warily at Bai Zhi, trying to change Stheno's mind, but was intimidated by her sister and trembled with fear.

What kind of life do you usually lead?

Bai Zhi was repeatedly amazed by what she saw.

The way these two sisters get along is a bit strange, but their bond is undeniable.

The weaker Stheno dared to stand up for Medusa when she faced an invincible enemy. No wonder Medusa was still happy to accept this sisterly love despite being mocked by her sharp tongue.

Bai Zhi's strength and eyesight still have room for improvement, but with the support of her gradually increasing mental power, her perception has formed a kind of divine sense ability. Within a certain range, unless one has an EX-level concealment ability, it is impossible to escape her detection.

On the way, Medusa walked with her head down, feeling lost and unsure how to explain to her sisters that her lunch had been swallowed by the sea and disappeared.

Walking on the desolate stone path of the Invisible Island, Lin Xing saw a few green plants standing tall and short, amidst the desolate and pale landscape.

It's hard to imagine that this was the 'home' of the perfect goddess Stheno.

Throughout the journey, Steno kept talking, praising Bai Zhi in every way, and obtaining a lot of information about the outside world and Bai Zhi herself.

This includes, but is not limited to, names, identities, and the twelve Olympian gods they serve.

"The gods are capricious. If you worship twelve main gods at the same time, your devotion to one of them may inadvertently offend another, or even several, gods. Jason, the mistakes you made when you were young, you will have to spend your whole life making amends for."

Even Stheno couldn't help but show a hint of reluctance. What an interesting loss! She could only hear about it, unable to witness it firsthand. What a pity.

The so-called "serving" is such an incredible and wonderful experience.

"There's no need to dwell on it now." Bai Zhi had an expression that suggested she couldn't bear to recall the past. "There are priorities. In times of crisis, when life is at stake, it's pointless to try to discern the true nature behind any lifeline you can grasp."

When Jason first awakened his memories, his sickly nature from his previous life cut off any possibility of him going to find Chiron. With his future uncertain and the possibility of being killed by his uncle at any moment, what could Bai Zhi do?

The more varied the resources, the better he could survive. So he wanted them all. The fact that his faith in all twelve gods was successful at the same time was truly unexpected. There was nothing he could do but go with the flow.

Who knew that after reincarnation, she could actually share power with other Angelica dahurica?

"I'll take it one step at a time. The gods make their moves, I'll move them forward; the gods give their tasks, I'll do them. I'll just live to see how long I live."

He won't suffer the same fate as Jason in the original timeline, dying tragically on the Argo due to Medea's betrayal.

Bai Zhi's nonchalant words concealed a message of persecution, which piqued Stheno's interest.

The fourth generation of Greek theogony is centered on humans, while the third generation is centered on gods.

Will the gods overwhelm humanity, or will humanity drown the gods?

"So, you don't mind worshipping three more goddesses, right?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi and Medusa both looked at Stheno.

"Lord Stheno, be careful what you say."

"Sister, they will hear us."

In an era when gods existed, faith could not be summarized in a single sentence.

We can glean some insight from the fact that the gods refer to Angelica as 'my child'.

The twelve Olympian gods are nominally equal, and it is theoretically possible for Bai Zhi to worship all of them.

But when Bai Zhi began to worship other gods.

If a deity's status were lower than that of the twelve Olympian gods, it would be an insult to them, let alone two weak goddesses from the era of the Titans.

The way Bai Zhi and Medusa are being so cautious is... really an eyesore.

"...No fun." Stheno's smile vanished as he turned and left, reminding his younger sister before he departed, "Medusa, you should really think about how to explain the terrible news that lunch is gone to the hungry Euryale!"

Records of the Sons of the Greek Gods: Chapter 124 Feigning Pity

Lunchtime was not delayed, and the temple's inner chambers were made of stacked stones.

In the large dining room, there was only one round table, no more than two meters long.

"This is a simple meal; please give your feedback."

Bai Zhi took out the food stored in the shared space and handed it to the three sisters around her.

Stheno, Medusa, and Euryale, the second of the three Gorgon sisters who looks almost identical to Stheno but has a subtly different temperament.

Euryale's appearance is identical to Stheno's, but her clothes are like a mirror image, reversed, and her temperament is quiet and reserved compared to the passionate Stheno.

At this moment, the three goddess sisters were all looking at the food on the table.

Sprinkled with sesame seeds, soft bread, a hot and juicy meat patty, and fresh green vegetables, sandwiched with creamy white cheese, golden-brown bacon, and ketchup sauce, this crispy and juicy treat is a tempting choice for everyday meals. Every bite is bursting with delicious flavor.

The above is a description of the food from the advertising flyer; however, the actual product should be taken into account.

Yes, the food Bai Zhi brought out was a traditional Western dish: a KFC hamburger.

Stheno picked up the hamburger from the stone table, sniffed it, and then moved it a little further away.

“Substandard food, stale vegetables, greasy meat patties, and bread…” Steno squeezed the bun on the hamburger; it was soft but lacked chewiness, and he couldn’t help but frown. “Leftovers that were once frozen, then baked and reused. Jason, you’re serving the goddess this kind of inferior food?”

The goddess has become a little temperamental and is calling him by his name.

"Ahem, emergency food is good enough if it's plentiful and filling; the taste is another matter."

Bai Zhi shifted her gaze, and in the space where freshness could be maintained at all times, each of the Bai Zhi plants had accumulated more or less the unique foods of their respective worlds.

These hamburgers are emergency food that One Punch Angelica specially stockpiled in Angelica Space.

Fast food tastes like it's all oil and strong flavor.

“Jason, I have to make this clear to you beforehand: there are many ways to present food, but if it doesn’t taste good, that’s the original sin. If your food is only about filling your stomach and doesn’t care about the taste, you definitely don’t want to see the goddess’s little temper.”

Stheno dropped the hamburger, crossed her arms, and said that if it didn't taste good, it didn't taste good; she wouldn't force her taste buds.

"I'm Yurielle. Yes, that's right, 'Goddess-sama'. Since life is so short, please make the most of it and find some fun for me."
