The truck runaway from the Evacuation Place as the Hooded person tells Zack that they need to go to the place where Rory could be safe by their allies.
" Our friends are here? " Zack asks the hooded person as he drives away while the Hooded Person uses the ability to make the guards open the Barrier, making the truck can pass by over the place.
Being silent, the hooded person only looks at Zack after the Barrier behind them closes again, thus making them officially out of the Evacuation Place.
" Some are already here... " the person says.
" After all, you're not the only one that secretly lands in Trinia without the Diviners knowing it. "
" You're right, it seems our Heavenly Land is so smooth that even the likes of the Aesir and Olympus can't even notice us, huh? " Zack says to the hoodie while his eyes glow gold.
" Stop joking, drive! "
" Okay, okay, jeez is it just me or your words are starting to get more modern than the last time, ... "
" My sister Sera... " Zack says as the hooded person begins to spread her golden blonde hair, the hooded person was a girl.
" Spare thy pleasantries, just drive to the place I ordered thou," she says using her old English words.
" Roger that... " Zack says as he drives the truck far away from the Evacuation Field.
....
( Back at the Evacuation Field).
" Did some of you leave the place? " Zeus asks one of the priests as he sees the Barrier being opened for a bit at the time.
" I know not, lord Zeus. " the priestess says while bowing near Zeus as Zeus pats her head, making her uncomfortable.
" I see, how unfortunate. " Zeus says while he is with the priestess available at that place to quench his need for women as he drinks wine and eats crows for dinner at the time, accompanied by many beautiful young priestesses who served him without question.
" Lord Zeus, please, eat this... " the priestesses come with happy faces.
" Lord Zeus... "
" Lord... "
" Please my priestesses, take turns while serving me. " Zeus says as he properly feasts on what the Priestess had to offer and as he feasts on it, someone then came into his place, his tent.
" Who's there? "
" I came before you, fa- " Athena came as she Zeus with the priestesses which kinda angers her.
" What is it, my dear? you seemed unimpressed. " Zeus asks while Athena closes her eyes and squishes her fist.
At the time, Athena can only think hard as her emotions suddenly go high and disturb her very focus on what she wants to tell her Allfather.
" Allfather... "
" Yes, just say what's in your mind without any doubt my dear. " Zeus orders her.
Athena went silent after hearing that she then looks at the priestesses around the Allfather Zeus with tears in her eyes. Seeing her very eyes, Zeus grins and orders the priestesses to rest and leave the place, immediately which the priestesses did so.
After all of them leave, Athena's tears dry as she can now speak about what she had done with the evacuating people that go into riot upon hearing the announcement.
" I bring good news, Allfather of Olympus. " Athena says.
" The people now had been made to understand about our statement regarding the Tower Raid members. "
" After some time of me assuring them and showing them the evidence you have, they immediately believed it despite some still denying it. " Athena says the news which made Zeus quite happy and gets up from his seat.
" I see,... "
" You said that despite the people already swayed by the evidence, some still denied it? " Zeus asks as Athena tells him that those who are denied are still protesting about the gods' claims.
" I see, then those people should also be dealt with... "
" Punish them now, Athena. " Zeus orders his daughter which shocks her.
" Pardon me...? " Athena asks as she was so shocked to hear such an injustice order since she's the goddess of Justice.
" No.. father, you shouldn't... "
" That's too evil for us to... " Athen suddenly silents herself as Zeus looks at her with sharp eyes, stunning her in fear.
As Athena begins to ask and doubts his orders, Zeus then put his hands on his head as he curses Athena's very sense of Justice, the very thing she is always known for that often hinders the tasks of Olympus.
" Athena, Athena, Athena..., you little over-mortal justice fool!!! " Zeus says as he then releases his aura thus changing the atmosphere due to Zeus's intense pressure.
" ALL.FAT.HER. " Athena says while being pressed by Zeus's power.
As it happens, Zeus approached her daughter and he lowered his body to see Athena's very face, her daughter's very face that looks at him with defiance as she without any doubt, rejects his very order.
" You are always like this, dear daughter. "
" After some time you guard this very realm of mortals, I already knew that one day you would succumb to the Mortal Ways. "
" And look at you now. "
" Always persisting to bring justice over humanity, doing whatever you can to preserve those stupid concepts of justice of yours. " Zeus says.
" Justice itself is good and I don't angry at you for that..., but... " Zeus holds Athena's head with his hand.
" All...father..., sto- " Athena pleas as she withstands Zeus's grip over her head.
" You... don't have to do this.... to them... "
" They're not a ... Deviant (Demon)..., worshipper... "
" They only... want..., our... protection... "
" And... the fulfillment about our... promise to... those who participated... on the Abyss Tower... Raid..."
Athena tries to let go, but Zeus still gripped and pressed her head as he tells her that Athena's concept of Justice is mundane and naive, he tells her that Athena's Justice is nothing for the very important thing for her to do is to establish the [Divine Law], the [Divine Order].
" You fool, by the Divine Law, those who support who we deemed to be sided with the Deviants and their followers should immediately be dealt with. " Zeus says with his eyes glowing.
" Even if they were only sympathizing with them. " Zeus says while pressing her and reminding her about something that he sees as more important than Athena's Concepts of Justice.
" Remember our first and foremost duties my daughter. "
" We Diviners should maintain the Divine Law before anything else. "
" Thus, because of that, since the thing I ordered you are a Divine Order from all of the All fathers of Earth. "
" Then you had no choice but to fulfill it and abandon that very concept of Justice that you consistently uphold. " Zeus says as he released her head which made Athena drops to the ground and kneel before him as she said that it will be done as he wishes before she finally leaves.
After she leaves, Zeus then sits on his chair again as he then smirks, " Now, since she is now gone. "
" I will still have to do the very reason I come here for. " Zeus says as one of the Priestess gives him some Data he required.
