When he returned to the banquet, Apollo's heart was still filled with curiosity.
What did Athena mean by that?
Hecate suddenly moved to his side and asked suspiciously,""Why do you have a fragrance on you? Did you go on a date with some goddess?”
" There really is a goddess. A tryst…That place is indeed very dark…" Apollo thought to himself.
"I'm just going out for a bit. Did anything else happen here?"”
Hecate shook her head." It's still the same. Ever since King Poseidon mentioned Antaeus, the atmosphere has been strange.”
"Where's Astria?" asked Apollo.”
" She was called by Goddess Amphitrite to chat. She wanted to call us along, but I didn't agree since you weren't around.”Hecate said.
Apollo cast his gaze at Amphitrite, who was surrounded by many gods.
"Eh, Athena went there too.”Apollo's expression changed.
……
The banquet went smoothly. The gods ate and drank merrily before the curtains slowly came to an end.
Apollo had been paying attention to the movements of Amphitrite and Poseidon and found that both places were normal.
As time passed, more and more gods appeared in Amphitrite's place, and then they all dispersed.
As for Poseidon, he sat on the throne from the beginning to the end, hugging his son with Mother Earth and not moving at all.
Just as Apollo thought everything was over, Astria, who had returned, said to him,""Goddess Amphitrite invites you and Hecate to her chambers.”
Apollo and Hecate looked at each other and followed Astria to an elegantly decorated palace.
Amphitrite changed out of the long dress that she wore at the banquet and wore a close-fitting shirt. She sat with her son, Terry.
When she saw Apollo and Hecate, she smiled and said,""Come, sit down."
After the two of them sat down, Amphitrite said kindly,""How did you feel at the banquet today?”
"Very lively," Apollo replied.
" It's just lively…" Amphitrite's tone suddenly turned cold as he said faintly," Indeed, there's nothing else besides lively."”
Sensing the change in his mother's voice, Prince Triton lowered his head timidly.
Looking at his reaction, Amphitrite sighed and carefully looked at Apollo and Hecate.
"Do you know why I wanted to see you last? All of you are excellent gods and will be the pillars of the future Divine Court.”
Amphitrite said seriously.
Without waiting for Apollo to speak, she continued,"
"I'm actually very mediocre in other aspects, but I'm very good at judging people. I'm even better than my sister, who is famous for her wisdom.”
"Back then, she and I had our eyes on Poseidon and Zeus respectively. Later on, Zeus 'achievements were indeed above Poseidon's, but my sister didn't have the chance to enjoy the return on her investment, while I had always sat firmly in the position of Sea Empress.”
Amphitrite laughed proudly.
Of course, Apollo knew who she was talking about. It was Athena's mother, Mantis.
The previous Goddess of Wisdom was the first god to take a fancy to Zeus.
First, he helped Zeus save a few of his brothers, and then he single-handedly helped Zeus win the Titan War and become the King of the Gods.
She was supposed to be the descendant of the gods, but because of a prophecy, she was swallowed by her beloved husband.
It can be said that the end is miserable, wise people live a short life, beautiful women have little life.
In contrast, his sister, Amphitrite, who was not outstanding, received a better reward.
" But now my position is very awkward…" Amphitrite suddenly stood up, her beautiful face like a deep well.
Apollo and Hecate focused their minds, and she said faintly,"" After today, you should all know that His Majesty the Ocean Emperor has received the support of Mother Earth. He will start a war against my father and Pontos to complete the unification of the ocean.”
Although he had guessed it, he really heard the news.
Apollo and Hecate were still shocked.
Primitive Sea God Pontos and Ocean Ruler Oceanos were the previous Ocean Lords. They were powerful and had great influence.
Poseidon had always relied on the support of Olympus and some marriages to barely occupy one-third of the ocean.
Now, if he really completed the unification of the sea and took Pentos and Oceanos under his command, he would be able to do so.
Even Zeus, who sat high in Olympus, would tremble in fear at this brother.
"This is of course a crucial step for Poseidon, but for me, it is a step that will shake my foundation.”
" Although I don't have a good relationship with my father and brother, the reason why I can sit in my current position is because I came from the Ocean God System. Once the war starts, my situation will be the most awkward.”
Amphitrite's expression was very calm as he stared at the two young gods in front of him.
" That's why I need to prepare early. That day is still a little far away, probably after Anteus grows up. That's why I came to you…"
She smiled." Hecate, you've already become a Main God. In addition, Goddess Nyx has placed a lot of importance on you and appointed you as the Deputy Lord of Hell. Very soon, you'll become the great goddess who will control the situation in Hell.”
" As for you, Apollo, I believe that in less than a hundred years, you will ascend to Olympus and hold the position of the main god. You will become a great god that is not inferior to Athena and influence the situation in Olympus.”
"That is why I hope to join forces with you and form a powerful alliance that can influence Olympus, Hell, and the ocean!”
Apollo and Hecate were shocked by his straightforward words.
Especially Apollo.
Although he was also very confident that he would become one of the most powerful gods in a short time.
However, no matter how he looked at it now, he was an insignificant figure.
Seeing that the two of them were silent, Amphitrite's smile remained."
" I'm not the only beneficiary of our cooperation. At least now, I can help Apollo and your sister return to Olympus.”
Apollo smiled faintly when he heard this condition.
He looked at Hecate, only to find that she was looking at him with a questioning gaze.
It seemed that as long as he made a decision, she would agree.
Amphitrite also noticed this and looked at Apollo calmly.
The atmosphere in the palace suddenly fell silent.
Under Amphitrite's gaze, Apollo raised his head.""Can I ask you a question?"
"What is it?"
"Did you also invite Athena?”
Hearing this name, Amphitrite suddenly laughed and nodded gently."" Of course, she's my sister's daughter…"
"Then I hope that everyone will have a pleasant cooperation in the future.”Apollo stood up with a faint smile.
