Chapter 2 - Where it all began

Athena who had finished scanning his body as she made sure there wasn't anything else wrong with him, was regally claded in a full armor as she bent down to grab her long spear in one hand and her aegis in the other.

At the center of her aegis, there's an image of the gorgon medusa head. A golden owl with a deep blue Iris poised on Athena's shoulder fluttered Its wings.

Athena had a long dark burgundy hair color with blue eyes. She is referred to as the goddess of wisdom and war. She's a beautiful lady with a stern face and a graceful build emanating power and authority.

She stood about eight meters in height just like the other two goddesses in the temple with her. Lust was also of the same height as well, only the lesser spirit (Avalon who still remained in her genuflect position) had a height of 1.85 meters.

The mortal who was regarded as Athena's champion was a tall, lanky, scrawny and skinny young adult of twenty-one years of age with a height of 1.89 meters.

"Whatever you have to do, do it now Athena. It won't be long before they discover my location." Lust apprised.

Lust who belonged to one of the seven deadly spirits working directly under Anubis (The god of death) in the spirit realm knew it was just a matter of time before the other spirits sense his disappearance from the spirit realm and trace him all the way to the realm of the living.

"Athena?, Why place him here in the monster realm. The Titans would destroy him if he were to be discovered". Jiutian counselled.

"You do have a point. Wouldn't it be better if he were to be in the human realm. He has a better chance of improving his strength if he trained there. You know the monster realm is currently ruled by the humanoids whose population is thrice the size of all elves, dwarves and Demi humans combined " Inanna adviced as well.

"I plan on giving him to the dark fairy that resides in the whispering forest." Athena declared.

"To Leanan?, O wise one please reconsider, Leanan sidhe is a maniac who is known to be unstable. If she were to come in contact with your champion I fear she would end him." Avalon said with a concerned look on her face.

"Haha, I doubt she would. It seems you've finally opened up to my champion." Athena said as she tittered.

"Forgive me goddess, I still think he is naive and unsuited to be your champion. Even though I would prefer you choose another. I dare not question your wisdom."

Athena strolled towards Avalon as she miniaturized her size to that of Avalon and rose her up, placing her hands that had already dropped their weapons on Avalon's shoulders.

"It doesn't matter. You were brought here to bear witness to the champion I had chosen. Take your time to determine if he's worthy or not. I empathize with you that his journey ahead is too big for him to shoulder alone. Tell him you chose him, let him know he is needed, show him what you've seen, let him feel what you've felt about the cruelty my brother had caused to your kind. If he decides to walk away, then I will have to choose another".

"But goddess, it's been centuries since you've been tasked to choose a champion, if he were to say otherwise, then I will have no choice but to force him till he listens."

Athena smiled as she understood why Avalon would go to such length to convince Adam into accepting her cause.

"That won't be necessary, just show him what you've seen and if he hasn't decided still, then instruct him to meet Oisin. With his wisdom, he'll explain everything to him."

"The leprechaun king?...As you wish Goddess."

Seeing as how the goddess Athena had made her decision, Avalon was resolved not to question her anymore.

"Hey Athena, can I stay behind to sleep with him just once...*wink*....*wink*,"

"Zip it,."

Athena who had gotten used to her sister's profane words retorted bluntly, after all Inanna wasn't called the goddess of love for nothing. Inanna could be described as an exquisite goddess that even made Athena a little jealous but the only downside was that she is a complete pervert.

"Athena!!"

Lust who had began pacing once more reminded Athena of the limited time they had in this abandoned temple that hasn't been visited in centuries due to the war and suffering happening to the neighboring cities and kingdoms.

Athena strolled up to the unconscious Adam on the altar and kissed his forehead as light shone from the point of contact between her lips and his forehead

"This is the last time I can intervene in your matter, so please don't die."

Athena muttered before Jiutian inquired.

"You blessed him?"

"Yeah, I granted him courage if he were to accept his fate." Athena replied.

"In that case,"

Inanna then stepped up to the altar as she places a kiss on his forehead with similar light shining on his forehead. Inanna raised her head up as her lips widened into a smile

"If he's the only one against millions of adversaries, he has to have some kind of cheat right?, i bestowed upon him the ability to level up exponentially it'd be a shame to have a cutie like him die so easily, "

Athena smiled upon hearing her sister's words.

"Then I'll do the same,"

"Eh?"

Jiutian went up to bless Adam also but Athena was surprised by her sudden declaration. In the realm of the gods, heaven is divided into seven kingdoms with each kingdom having their own number of gods that reside in them

Inanna and Athena had come from the same heaven but Jiutian was from another. Although she was one of the few who was incurious towards the game set up by the other gods that was spear headed by Ares .

Athena still had doubts if she could fully trust her and she had secretly hoped this doesn't backfire in the long run but seeing as how she was willing to bestow Adam her blessings Athena could ease up a little bit now.

And then again No one knows the real reason as to why she decided to help.

"Ehhh?!!!!"
