...

The whole world was in an uproar. It turned out all those Gods were actually Real!

An unbelievable truth, the secret that the ancient hero Perseus desperately tried to hide, has been revealed!

News that shocked experts: The untold story of the White Planet and the Emperor!

The group was currently on the beach of the Bay of Naples, an area forcibly cleared for their private use.

"Hey, Erica, are you sure these are the latest reports from the Sage Council? What's with this format?" Haru lay on a beach towel, looking at a stack of A4-sized reports in his right hand, and questioned Erica.

'The UC is an organization like the Time-Space Administration Bureau, isn't it? Even after I've transmigrated, they won't leave me alone?'

"The Sage Council's reports have been in this format since the beginning of the new century. I heard they borrowed the idea from a news company. Say, Haru, why are you even paying attention to this stuff? And why are you looking at me like that?" Erica snuggled close to Haru's right side, her breath warm against his ear. Today, Erica wore a red bikini with black stripes, a fiery red rose tucked behind her ear. She leaned against Haru, radiating warmth and passion.

'Turn your head, and you're dead. I don't care about anything else. Your eyes can only be on me.' Straddling Haru as she applied sunscreen, the silver-haired girl in a pure white bikini conveyed this message with her eyes.

"..." Liliana mumbled, curled up like a hamster on Haru's left side.

The girl's white bikini with blue trim accentuated her slender waist, perfectly embodying the delicate balance between a fairy's cuteness and dangerous allure. Haru's right hand roamed across her body, repeatedly brushing against forbidden territory, intentionally or not. The Sword Fairy's body trembled, and an unknown liquid coated Haru's hand.

"W-wait... until tonight," she whispered, her voice almost inaudible to a normal person. But Haru, with his superhuman hearing, caught her reply and became even more restless. 

"Hmm?" Haru's hand was suddenly grasped by Sora's, which radiated a dark aura. 

"Behave yourself during the day," Sora said, her face dark.

Haru nodded obediently.

Then, his shorts were pulled down. Strange sounds echoed across the beach.

Erica stared at the Kasugano siblings, dumbfounded. 'You said behave during the day! Is this what you consider behaving? I may not be the smartest, but don't try to fool me.'

Liliana covered her face with her hands, peeking through her fingers. Her face was flushed crimson, her hands trembling, yet she couldn't tear her gaze away.

10:00 pm.

"So that was the goal, huh?" Haru sat alone in the hall of the Kranjcar villa, a miserable expression on his face.

Since returning from the beach, both Liliana and even the more open-minded Erica had been avoiding him. The events on the beach had been far too stimulating for the two pure-hearted knight princesses.

And the person involved had locked herself in her room out of sheer embarrassment.

The night wind blew gently.

The constellations shone brilliantly in the summer night sky, a vast expanse visible only in places with exceptionally clear air.

The half-moon cast a shimmering silver light.

With hair like moonlight, shimmering silver, and eyes like condensed night, dark purple and vertically slit, the youthful Goddess Athena appeared before Haru.

"It's been a while, Haru. Welcome to my… no, our domain." Athena smiled faintly, but it wasn't her usual benevolent maternal smile. This was the smile of her other persona, the Goddess of War, radiating invincible confidence.

Haru reached out and grabbed Athena's small face, kneading it playfully. "Why are you suddenly smiling like that?"

Athena brushed his hand away, a bloodthirsty smile spreading across her lips. "Ah, I sense it. That unlucky fellow is about to descend. Sooner than I expected."

"Oh? I sense it too," Haru said, surprised. Some presence was exuding an unrestrained aura.

Humans, especially the self-proclaimed clever ones like magicians, called them Heretic Gods.

How did these supernatural beings come into existence?

No human knew. They could only speculate, creating elaborate hypotheses, and then agonizing over them.

Why did they descend upon Earth? Many Gods had descended upon Earth throughout history, and thus, many Godslayers were born. Though the Last King had purged them countless times, their purpose could still be gleaned from various instances: to defy the myths that humans had imposed upon them.

This was their sole purpose. Tsukuyomi, as the Moon Goddess, sought to return to the Earth Mother. Verethragna, the God of Victory, pursued defeat. Athena, demoted to Zeus's daughter, longed to reclaim her status as an ancient goddess. They defied the myths, successfully descending to Earth, but the counterattack of mythology began the moment they arrived.

Heretic Gods called it madness. Every god who descended was tainted by this madness. The Fire God would set the world ablaze. The Sea God would unleash a great flood. The War God would incite war. Their first act was to cause a disaster that corresponded to their myths. Madness drove them to frenzy, diverting them from their original purpose.

For example, Athena in the original story, after regaining her three-in-one form, immediately sought battle with the Devil King. Before her restoration, she had vowed not to repeat the mistakes of the ancient Athena. But the moment she became a Heretic God, she couldn't resist the urge to fight. The aspect of the War Goddess was a later addition to her divine portfolio. Rewriting mythology and reclaiming her former status should have been her primary goal.

"Why did I descend to Earth? Ah, there was something incredibly important, but I've forgotten." Having just gained a physical form, she murmured with a wry smile.

There was no hint of sadness in her laughter.

If she didn't know, it was simply another interesting development. There was no need to dwell on it.

Wanting to know the reason for her existence, searching for her true self - clinging to such trivial concerns wasn't the style of a hero from the Age of Gods.

She looked around.

Although surrounded by the darkness of night, it posed no obstacle to her divine vision.

She was on a mountain, seemingly within a volcano. There was little greenery in sight. The surrounding area was filled with reddish volcanic rock, likely due to high iron content.

Mount Vesuvius.

Unaware of the name humans had given to this land, she continued to observe.

This was likely the heart of the volcano. In the distance, she could see the ocean and a human city, not too far away. Even with her vision, comparable to a master archer, she could see it clearly.

"... Heh. This is rather interesting." She turned around, her gaze fixed on the figure behind her.

A cheerful-looking, handsome young man with blond hair stood there.
