In the warmth of a fire-lit room, as Athena spun her tale of deception and manipulation into the drama "Olympian Golden Primetime," Luo En, who had been sitting silently, found himself sweating profusely as he recognized the parallels to his own situation.
Indeed, this affair was not without his involvement.
Months earlier, with the aid of the "Dice of Chance," Luo En had stolen some of Ares's authority, turning the War God from a "mighty man" into a "wilted man." This left his frustrated lover, the Goddess of Love Aphrodite, with no choice but to kick him out, and caused quite a stir.
Not long after, Ares regained his vigor and reunited with Aphrodite, winning back the affection of the Goddess of Love.
However, their affair was discovered by the suspicious Hephaestus, which greatly angered the Craftsman God.
