Fate: I Heard After Death, You Can Ascend to the Throne of Heroes?

Chapter 229: Pinnacle of Humanity



"I don't believe it!"

Seeing that she was not looking right, he replied a bit cautiously.

Although he didn't know what was going on, he keenly sensed that she was angry at this moment, and the source of her anger was him again.

If this moment passed, she might really bite him a few times to vent her anger!

"Come here!"

Seeing that he wasn't fooled and not wanting to pretend anymore, Hecate gritted her teeth and said, "I have to punch you twice today. For you, I actually ran into the abyss.

No, why do I owe you anything!"

Hearing this, he tilted his head and hadn't had time to understand what was going on before him.

"Okay, stop crying and making a fuss."

A cold voice sounded, and in his somewhat unbelievable gaze, the goddess of justice, Themis, dressed in a white robe, with her eyes covered with a white cloth, wearing a golden crown, holding a scale in her left hand and a sword in her right hand, actually walked out of the endless abyss as well.

She nodded to him and said coldly, "Long time no see."

"I didn't cry and make a fuss!" Hecate said angrily from the side.

Although she was very old, older than Zeus, this goddess in front of her, was a first- generation Titan god, and she was already a third-generation.

And because every time he saw her, she was either angry or on the way to being angry, so Promise, simply ignored her...

Hmm, what?

You said it wasn't me who made her angry?

Yeah, but so what, am I proud of it!

"Goddess?" He walked towards the goddess and asked inexplicably, "Why are you here..."

Before he could finish his words, the entire underworld trembled again, and at the same time...

"Nyx!"

That startled and angry voice sounded again, and this time Promise heard it very clearly, so, he knew, the voice came from inside the abyss.

"This is..."

He looked at the goddess blankly, and she was just about to speak.

"They're fighting."

Hecate replied angrily from the side, "Goddess Nyx and Tartarus."

Nyx was the symbol of night, and one of the original five gods of ancient Greece.

And Tartarus, in fact, was the same.

He was the god of the abyss, the creator of the hell..the underworld, the embodiment of the abyss, a formless abyss located at the bottom of the world.

In his body, not only were the monsters of ancient Greece imprisoned, but even the father of Zeus, the king of the second generation of gods!

And Typhon was his child!

"Fighting?"

The primordial gods were fighting?

Promise was a little dumbfounded.

"Why did they suddenly start fighting?"

As soon as he subconsciously finished speaking, he saw everyone present, including the Pegasus, looking at him with the eyes of a fool.

So, somewhat realizing what was going on, he pointed at himself belatedly.

"Me?"

Seeing his confused look, thinking of the suffering she had endured because of him, she was so angry that her teeth itched, but she could only explain helplessly, "You came for the thunderbolt, right? That thunderbolt was actually hidden in the abyss by Hermes.

He originally planned to wait for you to come and then quietly take it out, but when Goddess Nyx found out, she insisted that she would help you get it out no matter what.

She said that the abyss was dirty, dark, and dangerous, and she didn't want you to go in and get hurt, so... she let me jump in instead of you!"

The following few words were squeezed out by Hecate through gritted teeth.

Promise, however, became more and more confused as he listened, and when he finally came

to his senses, he looked at the goddess in front of him and could only sigh in his heart.

It seemed that the Goddess of the Night really treated her like her own daughter.

"In fact, that's not what happened at all."

At this moment, Themis on the side suddenly spoke, and as she did, her icy face actually showing a hint of amusement.

"Hermes chose to hide the thunderbolt in the abyss and it was with the help of Hecate in the beginning. She specially set up magic to cover everything.

And just in case, she came to me and told the Goddess of the Night about it... It's just that she didn't expect the Goddess of the Night to dote on you so much."

As soon as she finished speaking, the abyss shook violently again.

Hecate's face changed and she wanted to stop Goddess Themis from continuing, but she

easily shook her off and continued,

"And she has everything planned out for you. The reason she came to me was because even if Zeus was willing to give you the thunderbolt, you would still need a vessel.

And my sword happens to be the best vessel."

The Sword of Judgment, he was no stranger to it.

Because of that oath, she had lent that sword to him.

For a long time, it was his biggest trump card.

It was the nemesis of evil, and because it could judge even the gods, it was a divine weapon that was particularly effective against divine beings.

Therefore, it was indeed the best weapon to carry the thunderbolt and fight against Typhon. Not to mention, the Goddess of Justice, she was one of the four goddesses destined for him. Hearing her words, Promise was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses as he looked at the goddess in front if him and couldn't help but laugh and say,

"Goddess Hecate You are quite cute."

"Shut up, shut up!"

The latter hugged herself, feeling a chill all over her body at his compliment.

"Get lost, who cares about you!"

"...No way, these days even my lovely goddess Clotho is no longer arrogant and has switched

to playing straight ball, Goddess Hecate, you are really outdated."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hecate finally couldn't take it anymore.

She flew into a rage, grabbed her scepter, and hit him on the head as he ran away.

Facing such situation, the Goddess of Justice and Pegasus chose to watch from the sidelines

and did not stop them.

After all, it was his own fault for being so talkative.

Besides, if she had used even a little bit of her strength, he would have been buried deep into

the underworld by now.

And so, just like that, he got Zeus's thunderbolt.

With the Sword of Judgment that the Goddess of Justice had given him as a vessel.

When he grasped the Sword of Judgment once again after all this time, the thunderbolt

entered his body.

At this moment, all the remaining power of the golden apple in his body was fully activated,

and his clear emerald eyes turned into a brilliant gold.

And in this instant, he reached the pinnacle of what humans could achieve.

He possessed the body and power of a demigod, and was even a leader like Heracles...

To be precise, as long as there was a trace of divine blood in his body, Promise would have already ascended to the level of a god.

However, this was not permanent, and such powerful power naturally came at a more painful

price!

"The golden apples you've been eating have indeed played a crucial role, even allowing you to withstand Zeus's thunderbolt, but it won't last long."

Hecate looked at the young man holding the thunderbolt in front of her and shook her head

slightly as she said.

"After all, this is not a power that humans can control, but the strongest power of the Greek gods, so you only have a short amount of time."

As for what would happen when the time came, it would be like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, disappearing forever but leaving behind an incomparably brilliant trace. Hearing her words, Promise nodded, indicating that he understood.

The Goddess of Justice beside him didn't say much, as she had already prepared herself for

this moment.

Just then, a figure walked out of the abyss.

It was the Goddess of the Night, Nyx, dressed in the night sky and stars, mysterious and

beautiful.

She had finished her fight with the abyss, and now that she had retrieved the thunderbolt andn/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

when she sensed that the young man had arrived, she broke free from the abyss that was

devouring sinners.

At this moment, she looked at the young man in front of her, the young man, who was holding

the thunderbolt tightly and expressing his gratitude to her from the bottom of his heart, with

a smile on her lips.

"It's alright, go."

The Goddess of Night, Nyx, nodded gently and said softly, "Look, your Goddess has come to

receive you."

When Nyx finished speaking, Promise suddenly turned his head and found that the flawless figure had somehow arrived beside him.

However, to his surprise, the Pearl of Olympus, the Goddess of Wisdom of ancient Greece, did

not smile when she saw him holding the Sword of Judgment and receiving the power of

thunder.

Instead, her eyes were filled with worry and panic.

"What happened?" Promise raised an eyebrow.

He knew very well that besides himself, the one who looked forward to this moment, this very

scene, the most was Athena.

After all, this was his oath with her, so he really wanted to ask her, what made her like that?

Hearing his words, Athena hesitated for a while.

To be honest, she shouldn't say anything.

Because this was going to he the most important moment in the boy's life and she didn't want

him to be distracted at this stage.

But in the end, Athena let out a light sigh and told Promise everything.

After all, she knew his personality, and because she did, she knew what he liked and what he

didn't.

If she really hide this matter from him, even though this was the most wise and correct move,

she knew she would be hated by him...and that possibility was something she could never

face.

So, the goddess, whose absolute wisdom was being overshadowed by something else she

didn't understand, told the cruel truth to the young man she adored.

"He went to see the Goddess of Fate."

"And she has already offered the Fruit of that Day, with her life."
