Nameless, who had always preferred to quietly stand off to the side, never seeking glory or fame, and caring nothing for spoils of war—
Was now bathed in endless dragon's blood, standing as the absolute center of attention.
The colossal dragon had fallen completely, and everyone around stared at him in utter shock.
Even the three lofty gods themselves offered applause and praise to this stranger from another time and space.
All the spectators watching the video felt their blood boil uncontrollably.
One after another, they clapped and cheered—
====
At Shikotei's Palace—
Numerous Heroic Spirits were gathered together.
Komei, shaking his feather fan with a wide smile:
"Indeed, the Council of Gods are nothing but a band of thieves."
From the very beginning, Nameless had always looked down on the Council of Gods, dismissively calling them thieves.
Now, Alaya's video had completely proven it.
This Heroic Spirit clearly aimed to challenge the Twelve Olympian Gods in twelve ultimate trials—
To earn their blessings, become the mightiest hero beyond the gods, and defeat the former King of Gods who had been granted a Holy Grail by the Demon King.
Yet in reality, the Council of Gods, hiding under the guise of divinity, wanted to forcibly capture Nameless.
"When the video ends, let's see how they try to talk their way out of this!" Chin Kyu said with a grin.
In his mind, he once again saw those fireworks from earlier.
When the time came, he was going to use those gods as his fireworks display.
If needed, he could even lend Nameless a hand, letting him unleash his full strength to defeat those false gods!
Shikotei spoke calmly:
"Continue analyzing the Mechanical War God. Once the video ends, the Council of Gods may well declare war on us."
That group of thieves had always claimed to be the rightful inheritors of the Olympian legacy.
But this video had utterly humiliated them.
"Unfortunately, our technology is still too far behind. We can't fully analyze the Machine Gods." Komei sighed.
These things were god-tier existences—
Alien mechanical lifeforms from the depths of the cosmos.
With their current level of technology, they could neither completely decode nor mass-produce them.
In fact, cracking and replicating a War God mecha was many times harder than defeating the Council of Gods themselves!
Chin Kyu looked eager:
"Since both the King of Heroes and King Arthur had follow-up videos, I wonder if His Majesty will also get one that lets our tech leap forward?"
After all, those two kings had seen their power soar after their singularity videos were exposed.
Surely their own Emperor was no less than they—
When his related singularity video came out, who knew to what heights they might rise?
"I, too, look forward to it."
Shikotei gazed at the screen, where Nameless was receiving the blessings of the War God and the Goddess of Wisdom, wondering with growing curiosity how he himself might appear in his future video.
A ruler of a thousand years' renown—how could he possibly lose to the kings of some foreign states?
====
The video continued.
Athena smiled with great approval:
"Now, begin your trials of the gods! You will gather the power of the divine and become a god-blessed hero who surpasses us all!"
A stranger from another world—yet the prophesied savior who would rescue both gods and humankind.
"Very well, I will do my utmost to complete the twelve trials."
Nameless gave a solemn promise.
Then—
He turned to the little princess beside him:
"Forgive me, but I must leave now."
"All right, then leave."
The little princess already had a large leather pack slung on her back, long prepared.
Inside, magic had expanded its space dozens of times over, holding all the magical and daily necessities she could need—it was practically a traveling home.
"I mean I'm leaving alone." Nameless shook his head lightly.
The Twelve Trials of the Gods meant endless dangers. Naturally, he could not take her with him.
Their earlier exchange via Holy Grail magic circle had been specifically to settle debts between them.
Nameless spoke seriously: "As I said before, I'm just a passerby. I cannot shoulder your entire life."
"If you confess to me, how about I give you my whole kingdom?"
Medea's face was full of innocent, girlish cheer.
"Sorry. Even though you've given me much, I bear the mission of saving the world." Nameless left no room for discussion.
"Fine then, leave if you must. As a witch, setting off on my own witch's journey is only natural, right?"
Medea bit her lip.
However—
Before she could say more, the two before her vanished without a trace.
The gods had intervened, instantly transporting him away!
The little princess stood there silently for a while.
"Carrying this staff that marks me as a witch, wearing my long purple hair, my beauty and talent shining so brightly that even the sun would squint and praise me—who could I be?"
She looked up at the sun, and a smile bloomed on her face:
"That's right, I am Medea, princess of Colchis! Nameless, you will absolutely regret leaving me!"
Though her smile was radiant—
Tears streamed uncontrollably down her cheeks!
She knew why he wouldn't let her follow—
She was too weak.
He feared she would be in danger.
And because she understood that, the wound cut all the deeper.
Looking at her elder "sister" who had hurried over, the princess clutched her chest:
"Aunt Circe, why does it hurt so much here?"
A girl who had never known hardship, always so proud and confident—now felt pain beyond anything she had known.
"Hotter than hope, colder than despair… this is—love."
The legendary temptress and witch of corruption from myth was now smiling warmly as she reached out to gently stroke the little princess's hair.
She sighed softly.
"Such a cute little princess… Let your aunt teach you how to become a proper witch. If you love someone, you have to turn him into a pig and keep him by your side forever~"
Circe's smile grew even more delighted.
The little princess was like a pure white sheet of paper.
For her, staining that white until it turned pitch-black was simply an unspeakable joy.
This seemingly harmonious scene between senpao and a kouhai instantly caused the comment section to explode—
FuyukiGasLeak-[It's over! Our adorable little princess is going to turn into a cruel, backstabbing witch!]
YeetTheInfidel-[Aaaah, Nameless! Circe! Give us back our angelic little Medea!]
SinMommy-[Such a sinful man—he barges into her heart without warning, then leaves just as decisively!]
LoliConnoisseur-[Nameless did nothing wrong though. He's always been clear about equivalent exchange—so if I met such a pure little princess, I could trick her into bed ten times in one night!]
FateShit-[Heh, with a face like that? You'll be lucky to trick a pig, much less a princess!]
====
Under countless regretful gazes from the viewers—
That man had already been transported elsewhere, beginning a new trial of his own.
Upon the ocean, a towering tsunami rose.
A god appeared before him, standing on a chariot and holding a trident:
"Master from another timeline—your trial is to slay a monster!"
"What kind of monster?"
Nameless asked seriously.
The god before him was none other than the ruler of the seas—
Poseidon, God of the Sea.
He was Zeus's elder brother and Hades's younger brother—one of the most powerful deities in existence.
After the three brothers defeated Cronus, they divided the world among themselves.
Zeus took the skies and became King of the Gods.
Hades took the underworld and became its ruler.
Poseidon took the seas and became their master.
When he was angered, the oceans would spawn hideous sea monsters to slaughter without mercy.
When he swung his trident, he could summon terrifying tsunamis and storms to swallow the land whole.
Countless coastal dwellers worshiped him in reverence and fear.
"A most evil creature—one that, in the future, will take countless human lives."
Poseidon swung his trident.
The ocean storm transformed into a transparent ship, ferrying Nameless and Mash at breakneck speed toward an island deep within the sea.
And there—
A familiar figure appeared on-screen.
She wore a black hood, her long purple hair swaying gently.
Her petite frame barely reached 1.3 meters, and her innocent eyes stared curiously at them.
"Eh?! Ana!" Mash couldn't help but cry out.
Yes—the one before them was Ana, the Gorgon who had once helped them in the "Absolute Demonic Front" Singularity.
A little loli with the face of an angel.
As she appeared—
Even Kirina, watching the broadcast, exclaimed:
"Wait, could Poseidon's trial be… to kill Ana?"
The Gorgon was infamous in Greek myth as a snake-haired monster.
Any who met her gaze would be turned to stone.
The hero Perseus, with the aid of Athena and Hermes, barely managed to slay her.
He offered her head to Athena, who embedded it in her shield.
By the way—Perseus's father was also Zeus.
And Heracles's mother was Perseus's granddaughter, with Zeus as her father as well!
Such was the tangled mess of Greek mythology.
When Kirina first learned of it, the shock lasted a full year—it was like opening the door to an entirely new world.
"It seems likely." Cú Chulainn nodded.
Poseidon's trial would never be easy.
In truth—
Of the three Gorgon sisters, only the youngest, Medusa, had a mortal body and could be killed.
Her sisters, Stheno and Euryale, were both divine.
In myth—
Medusa's true form was that of a snake-haired monster. The fact that she could now appear as this little girl meant she had already been slain once.
From her corpse was born a new, childlike Medusa—Ana.
Her elder sisters would of course protect her dearly. Having lost her once, how could they allow Nameless to kill her again?
More importantly—Nameless could never bring himself to harm Ana.
They had fought side-by-side in the "Absolute Demonic Front" Singularity.
Kirina clicked his tongue.
"Then doesn't that mean Nameless can't possibly pass Poseidon's trial?"
"No idea," Cú Chulainn replied cautiously—he wouldn't speak too soon for fear of being proven wrong.
That terrifying man had a habit of working miracles—who knew what he'd do next?
====
As they watched—
Nameless stepped toward the little loli.
"It's been a while, Ana—or should I say, Medusa."
"You… know me?"
The girl looked at him in surprise.
Then, seeing him fully, a flood of memories surfaced, making her narrow her eyes.
Those memories came from another timeline entirely.
The young, newly reborn Medusa's eyes went wide.
"Nameless! You really came to find me!"
She remembered being summoned to another world, devouring her two sisters, transforming into the Beast-Goddess Gorgon and slaughtering countless lives—
Only to be redeemed by him.
This was her hero!
Anna hurried forward, eager to embrace him—
When suddenly, she felt herself being lifted and pulled back by an unseen force.
Her two sisters appeared, standing protectively before her.
"Have you been bewitched by a god to try and kill our sister again?"
"No. I won't lay a finger on her."
Nameless sighed.
Then—
He called into the air,
"Doctor—project the footage."
"Got it!"
Dr. Roman struggled to open a projection, replaying the events of the "Absolute Demonic Front" in full.
The recording showed Medusa consumed by malice, losing all reason, devouring her sisters and becoming the Beast-Goddess Gorgon—
Reaching the end of the Age of Gods in Uruk, seeking to devour all mankind—
Until, guided by the Flower Magus Merlin, she began to travel alongside Nameless and the others.
The sisters watched, realizing this was unaltered—purely the future as it would unfold.
"Sister…"
Their expressions turned complicated.
Born with monstrous forms, they were ageless and undying.
And yet—
The fate decreed by the gods was for them to be violated and slain by heroes.
Wave after wave of heroes came for them, until their youngest, Medusa, was overtaken by madness and became the Beast-Goddess Gorgon.
Stheno and Euryale chose to be devoured by her, embracing death for the sake of revenge.
If they were destined to die, better to die together.
The two exchanged glances, smiling faintly.
"So—you wish to change the fate of the three of us?"
"Yes."
Nameless nodded.
Then—
Before their eyes, he stepped forward and scooped Ana up into his arms.
"Eh—eh?!"
Ana's cheeks flushed crimson, her small hands and feet struggling for a moment before going still.
Carrying her to the shore, Nameless called out:
"Lord of the Seas—I have completed the trial."
The ocean churned violently.
The sea's ruler reappeared on his chariot, trident in hand.
He gave a small wave.
"As you wish! By my name as Poseidon, I grant you the blessing of the Ocean and the Storm!"
The audience froze for a moment—then erupted—
EXRankDegenerate-[No way—it really counts?!]
ConstipatedProcrastinator-[Of course! Poseidon's trial was to slay the future Beast-Goddess who would harm mankind—but Nameless already defeated her in Uruk, restoring her reason!]
SergeantSaunders-[That's some next-level thinking—plant the cause earlier, reap the reward now!]
LegallyRetarded-[Damn it, being able to travel through timelines really is OP. If I get hit by a truck, can I do it too?]
GoatedBalls-[If you get hit by a truck, you'll just meet Ereshkigal, not travel—wait, damn it, now I want to find a truck driver too!]
Under everyone's gaze—
Nameless looked up at the fierce sea god and asked,
"Lord Poseidon—can you change the fate of the three sisters?"
"If you complete all twelve trials, I will shroud this island forever in mist and storm!" Poseidon answered.
He was the master of the seas—
Concealing an island forever was nothing to him.
"Deal."
Nameless agreed with a nod.
He put down the small, soft, sweet-smelling Ana and said gently:
"Once I complete the Twelve Labors, you will all be free from the threat of heroes."
"But… you'll be in danger!"
Ana grabbed the hem of his clothes, looking up at him with eyes full of worry.
"Don't worry. I bear the fate of one who must save the world—there's no way I'll stop here." Nameless gently patted her little head.
Then, after waving farewell to the three sisters, he set off for another trial.
With the Sea God's help, Nameless and Mash walked upon the waves, leaving the island behind.
Stheno and Euryale exchanged a mischievous glance, then looked at their younger sister with teasing eyes.
"My adorable little sister, you absolutely mustn't fall in love with him."
"Eh? Why?" Ana stared at them in confusion.
Stheno sighed and shook her head. "Don't forget, we're still under the gods' curse—if we lose our chastity, we'll die!"
The Sea God had only promised to surround the island with storms and fog, preventing all heroes from coming here.
He could not lift the curse.
"Doesn't seem like such a big problem," Euryale suddenly said with a sly smile. She chuckled softly. "For example… what if you use the back door?"
The little loli tilted her head, utterly puzzled.
The other goddess couldn't help but give her a light punch with her tiny fists.
The comment section exploded instantly.
Everyone was overflowing with jealousy and envy.
After all, these two elder sisters were men's idealized fantasies made flesh—one a "perfect idol," the other the "dream girlfriend."
They embodied the very limits of human imagination when it came to beauty!
Nameless had once again achieved what no one else could—he had managed to win over all three of the Gorgon sisters!
Watching the video, Rin Tohsaka couldn't help but exclaim in awe:
"This guy is terrifying!"
No wonder he's called the pinnacle of beauty—even the Gorgon sisters couldn't resist him.
But, when you think about it, it makes sense.
Every other hero desperately wanted to possess the Gorgon sisters—Nameless was the only one who sought to touch their curse.
A true hero who brought hope and light.
Just then—
The video scene shifted, and another god appeared before Nameless.
Her skin was like white porcelain, her golden hair shone brilliantly, and her blue eyes were like deep ocean waves.
She stood barefoot atop the foam of the waves.
A light, gauzy garment revealed her exquisitely perfect figure to all who beheld her.
Everyone who saw her instantly thought of sweet, romantic love.
There was no need to say her name—this was the goddess of love herself—
Aphrodite!
One of the most beautiful of the gods.
Once, she was passionately pursued by Zeus, but she spurned him.
In a fit of spite, Zeus married her off to the ugly, crippled god of fire and smithing, Hephaestus.
The love goddess took her revenge in her own way, driving Hera to mete out cruel punishment on Zeus's children and lovers.
In the "strategic discussion" broadcast—
Ishtar's eyes widened as soon as she saw the love goddess.
"Damn it, this woman has the same divine authority as me!"
Indeed—Ishtar, as a Mesopotamian deity, also held dominion over love and beauty.
Now the two had crossed paths.
"Hmph! Luckily I also have the divine authority of war! Unlike her, who can't even control her own marriage—pathetic!" Ishtar said smugly.
"But you were called a monkey by Nameless," Ereshkigal said calmly.
Back when the sisters first met Nameless, Ereshkigal had tried to get him to confess his love to her.
Instead, he had called her Monkey on the spot, saying there was no way he'd ever date her.
Add to that her later misadventures in the Singularity—losing the Bull of Heaven, and being forced by the King of Heroes to hold a tablet reading I am a useless goddess—
—and she had since been nicknamed "Useless Goddess" all over the internet.
Ereshkigal, by contrast, was affectionately called the "Little Angel."
"Argh! That bastard Nameless—I'll make him fall completely under my charm one day!" Ishtar ground her teeth.
====
In the video—
The breathtakingly beautiful goddess of love smiled.
"Master from another time-space, my trial for you is this—defeat Atalanta in a footrace!"
"…Alright!"
Nameless looked steadily at her, but nodded his acceptance.
The huntress Atalanta is famed in myth for three great feats:
First, slaying the Calydonian Boar.
Second, joining the crew of the Argo.
And third—exactly the goddess's trial—
A marriage contest—no, a footrace marriage contest.
Only those who outran her would earn the right to wed her.
Ignoring the audience's worried murmurs—
AlmightyMiddleFinger-[The stock market's opening! I'm putting my savings on Catalanta!]
Blorbo-[Bets are in—will Atalanta make it to home base or not?]
BobUchiha-[This "trial" from the love goddess is just a cover—it's really meant to mess with the moon goddess!]
BoobVenerate-[Yeah—if Nameless wins, he has to marry Catalanta, which would break her vow of lifelong virginity to the moon goddess!]
Under everyone's expectant or anxious gaze—
The adorable cat-eared girl appeared onscreen.
This look alone made her one of the most striking presences in the Gods of Olympus video.
It earned her countless fans, who affectionately called her "Catalanta."
A wild, untamed catgirl!
Her father, however, looked at her coldly.
"Atalanta, as my daughter, you must marry a powerful hero. You can't be willful any longer!"
"When you abandoned me at birth, did you remember I was your daughter?"
Atalanta glared at him in fury.
The moment she was born, he had discarded her—just because he wanted a son.
Now, after she'd won glory by hunting the Calydonian Boar and joining the Argo's voyage alongside Nameless, he had the gall to show up and claim her as his own.
A man who cared only for profit, with no concern for her happiness.
"Those are things of the past. Tomorrow, a great hero—Melanion—will arrive. I'll see how you perform then!" the king said coldly, turning away.
He was the prince of a neighboring, wealthier kingdom, bringing cartloads of riches.
Marrying off this "found" daughter in exchange for wealth and military support? A great bargain!
The king's shamelessness disgusted the viewers.
To be his daughter was a tragedy.
"What a bastard!" Rin huffed.
Ereshkigal nodded.
"Agreed."
"Even I look down on him," Ishtar added. "If you want wealth, earn it yourself—don't sell your daughter!"
She, the goddess who most valued riches and gems, had always earned them by her own power—
—for example, by driving away monsters that plagued towns, then taking jewels as payment.
At that moment—
Nameless arrived.
He leapt in through the window, and the huntress's eyes lit up.
"Long time no see, Atalanta," he said softly.
"What are you doing here?"
Atalanta took a step toward him… but then glanced at the quiet Shielder standing beside him, and stopped.
Still, the slight upturn of her lips betrayed her feelings.
"Love goddess's trial—she wants me to beat you in a race," Nameless said honestly.
"Hmph, knew you didn't come just to see me!" Atalanta's eyes sharpened. "I set the rule—if someone beats me in a race, they have to marry me. What's your plan?"
"Do you want to marry?" Nameless asked.
"Impossible! I swore to the moon goddess I'd never marry anyone!"
She answered without hesitation—
—but then froze, staring at him blankly.
Moon goddess… if this man proposed to me, what should I do?
Nameless smiled.
"Then it's simple—if I win, you just owe me one favor."
"Hmph, you can't beat me!"
Atalanta lifted her head proudly.
She could have married him, but her pride wouldn't let her admit it!
The scene shifted—
The race began.
The other contestant, Melanion, gaped at the two.
"I came here first—why are you in the race?"
He had prepared massive bribes for the king to win the adorable huntress's hand. He had even sought the love goddess's help.
She had given him three golden apples—guaranteed to let him win.
But this uninvited guest had shown up!
"No problem, we're colleagues of a sort!" Nameless said cheerfully, patting him on the shoulder.
"If you don't want to race, then don't," Atalanta said coldly.
"Fine—then we'll all race together!" Melanion gritted his teeth.
It's fine — I have the golden apples from the goddess of love. I've got the advantage!
He gave a heads-up first:
"Uh… can I throw them…?"
The previous race rules had only said "run at full speed," and didn't mention throwing golden apples — so naturally, he wanted to clarify in advance, so the other side wouldn't call foul.
Nameless smiled.
"How about this — let's turn it into a props race. We can throw things at each other to get in the way."
"Eh? Sure, I agree!"
Melanion instantly nodded.
This guy… what a good person! Just what I wanted!
Victory was in the bag.
"Alright."
Atalanta also nodded.
And so—
With everyone watching, the race began.
Clang-clang-clang!
Golden chains suddenly shot up from Nameless's body, binding Melanion completely like a dumpling!
"I'm a demigod hero — and you dare tie me up?!"
Melanion's expression was utterly dumbfounded as he realized, no matter how much he struggled, there was no way to break free.
"If you weren't a demigod, I wouldn't even be able to tie you."
Nameless smiled faintly, then looked at the female hunter beside him.
"Shall we start now?"
"Fine. I absolutely won't lose!"
Atalanta pressed her lips together, her eyes full of determination.
As a famous huntress, running was her greatest skill — she couldn't possibly lose to anyone.
Boom!
The two dashed forward—
Only for Atalanta to be utterly shocked: the other's speed was like lightning, so fast that no matter how hard she pushed herself, she couldn't get close at all.
Why?
Why can you run so fast?
So… you'd been holding back earlier, waiting for me?
In the blink of an eye—
Nameless had already reached the finish line, holding out a hand to her.
"Sorry — I win."
"What… is your demand?"
Atalanta looked at his outstretched hand but did not take it.
"I want you… to leave this kingdom, and live freely!"
Nameless placed his hand gently on the proud huntress's head.
"You are a hunter — you shouldn't be caged in a city."
"I…"
Atalanta stared blankly at him.
She had never expected that his "request" would be purely for her sake.
But before that, there was still the disgusting king's prior condition… what should she do?
Just then—
The king strode over.
"Congratulations on winning the race — my daughter will be your bride!"
He had already accepted Melanion's gifts earlier, and now, seeing an even stronger hero, he could barely contain his excitement.
Under his eager gaze—
Nameless suddenly pulled out a potion with a smile.
"Your Majesty, time to take your medicine."
It was the same "Merlin's" potion he had gotten from the King of Heroes earlier.
Originally meant for Gilgamesh, but hey — this guy could have it first.
"???"
The king froze, wanting to refuse — only to find he couldn't resist at all.
In moments, the mighty king transformed from a brawny man into… a woman!
"If you're so eager to sell your daughter for profit — why not do it yourself?"
Nameless's grin grew even wider as he turned to the other contestant.
"Alright, here's your consolation prize. Marry her, and the whole kingdom is yours!"
"…"
Melanion fell into long, deep silence.
He had spent a fortune bribing the king, and even gotten three golden apples from the goddess of love.
With those two advantages, success should have been guaranteed — so how had it come to this?
The once-mighty king… now a woman…
He… couldn't refuse.
"No problem!"
Melanion nodded without hesitation.
After giving so much wealth and making so many offerings to Aphrodite, he had to get his return!
"Ahhh! Stay away from me!" the king shrieked in horror.
But it was no use.
That very night, the wedding was held, and the bridal chamber entered!
The audience was utterly stunned—
FuyukiGasLeak-[WTF, it can be played like that?!]
RebelliousExecutive-[Nameless nailed it! That disgusting king totally deserved to be "man-on-man'd" like this!]
CommandSealDaddy-[Lmao, that move was so slick it threw my back out from laughing!]
Dr.Sol-[As expected of Nameless — doing what none of us could ever pull off!]
Nameless's shameless brilliance left countless onlookers doubled over with laughter — an ending no one had seen coming.
Before the amused eyes of the peanut gallery—
Nameless smiled and reached out.
"Atalanta — now you can fly free. No one will bind you anymore."
"I'm… free?"
"Yes. Congratulations."
Nameless waved her goodbye.
"Go, and hunt freely."
"Free…"
Atalanta watched the two leaving, falling into a long silence.
Behind her, the king's miserable screams rang out.
Her gaze sharpened.
"Wait for me — I'll become strong enough to fight alongside you!"
She took out the trophy from the Calydonian Boar hunt, fashioned the hide into armor, and stepped into the perilous forest to undergo ruthless life-or-death training.
Now—let's hunt the enemies hiding in the dark!
Three gods appeared before her.
It was the moon goddess and the love goddess, who had been watching anxiously—
And another dazzling god, bright as the sun—
Apollo!
The silver-haired moon goddess rushed straight into Nameless's arms.
"Hahaha! I knew you wouldn't just mess with my follower! See, I won the bet!"
The footrace earlier had been the subject of a wager between the two goddesses.
Aphrodite sniffed and replied,
"Fine, you pass. In the name of Aphrodite, I grant you the peerless charm of a Handsome Young Hero!"
With her blessing, Nameless's charm skyrocketed again — making the moon goddess's gaze grow ever more smitten.
Apollo instantly glared at Nameless with killing intent, the air temperature spiking.
Mash trembled slightly, but still stood firmly by her senpai.
Nameless cleared his throat.
"So… what's the trial from the sun god and moon goddess?"
He'd already passed the trials of four gods — only eight more to go.
Artemis thought for a moment, then blushed slightly.
"You could… kiss me?"
"Uh…"
Nameless stared blankly.
"Ahem, I just… want to experience being close to a mortal." Artemis fidgeted with her clothes, her face shy.
All the spectators were shocked.
That's it? That easy?
Wake up! You're the moon goddess, not some lovestruck schoolgirl!
Apollo suddenly stepped between them.
"No! I won't allow it!"
This was his most important elder sister — who also happened to have little sister vibes — and there was no way he'd let anyone take advantage of her.
Artemis pouted sweetly.
"Don't block me~ Just one kiss, big brother~"
"Absolutely not!"
Apollo was firm, then offered,
"How about this — Nameless, you kiss me instead. I'll take her place."
"???"
Nameless stared in disbelief.
At that moment, he finally understood the true depths of a sibling complex.
The audience was just as floored—
MonaLigmaBalls-[WTF, myths say Apollo swings both ways — did Nameless just seduce him too?!]
SuckDickGoldie-[What a terrifying siscon… But Artemis having big sister status and little sister vibes is ridiculously cute.]
EXRankDegenerate-[Apollo: Kids pick one — adults take both!]
TooHotToPeg-[What's it like being the pretty boy all the gods love? Nameless: Reporting from the Greek Age of Gods, just bagged a godly brother-sister combo!]
Under everyone's stunned gaze—
Apollo snorted.
"In the name of Apollo, I grant you invincibility beneath the sun!"
In truth, seeing Nameless slay the boar and dragon, and even defeat the Beast Goddess in another timeline, had already earned his tacit approval of the trial.
Now, even his own elder sister couldn't resist his charm, so of course she had to be sent far, far away.
"You really are such a stingy little brother!"
Artemis gave a light huff, but still granted her blessing.
"In the name of Artemis, I grant you the Moon Goddess's favor — from now on, your shots will never miss!"
And just like that, he had the blessings of two gods!
"My thanks to the two of you!" Nameless said with solemn gratitude.
But—
The moment he finished speaking, Apollo had already summoned the sun chariot and tossed him aboard.
"Go on now — time to meet the next god!"
Whoosh!
The chariot vanished in an instant.
Artemis couldn't help stamping her foot.
"Hmph! That guy won't escape the palm of my hand!"
"He's just a passerby."
Apollo let out a gentle sigh.
His naïve and foolish elder sister really was a handful.
"Hmph!"
Artemis snorted again, but didn't say more.
However—
Since he had earned her favor, how could she possibly just let him slip away from her grasp?
Don't forget, besides being the Moon Goddess, she held another divine authority—
Hunting!
No matter if he fled to the depths of the underworld or to the bottom of the sea — escape was impossible!
Seeing the shift in the Moon Goddess's expression, Illya couldn't help gaping. "Why does the Moon Goddess look more and more like a yandere…?"
"Totally…"
Miyu nodded in agreement.
The goddess clearly had the most beautiful expression imaginable, yet somehow seemed even more terrifying than Atalanta.
As expected of a god and her devoted fanatic — they really were cut from the same cloth!
Miyu grew even more worried about Sanjiro.
Once the video was exposed, wouldn't these gods also descend into the mortal world?
When that happened…
Would Sanjiro be forcibly taken away by the Moon Goddess?
Or shot through the heart by Apollo's arrow?
Miyu's little face was full of worry.
"If the gods really try to take onii-chan, what will we do?"
"H-Heracles will probably help us… right?"
Illya answered without much confidence.
After all, her strongest trump card was just a demigod hero — no match for two overwhelmingly powerful main gods.
While the two little lolis fretted—
The scene shifted.
Nameless was already riding the sun chariot, crossing an unfathomable distance.
Another god appeared in his view.
She looked extremely kind and benevolent, holding a sickle as she gazed wistfully down at the farmlands below.
Nameless stepped forward to greet her.
"I greet the Goddess of Agriculture."
Yes — before him stood Demeter, the Goddess of Agriculture.
In Greek myth, she taught humans how to farm, ensuring farmers enjoyed bountiful harvests. When angered, she could cause the land to wither, leaving not a blade of grass alive.
An incredibly powerful deity.
Demeter spoke softly.
"Savior from another timeline, my original trial for you was to retrieve my daughter from the underworld."
"Uh…"
Nameless frowned slightly.
Her daughter Persephone had long been taken to the Underworld by Hades to be his queen.
How could she possibly be retrieved?
"But thinking about it… you're too weak, I can't count on you. I'll go myself instead."
Demeter's gaze returned to the farmland.
"As the goddess of agriculture, countless farmers pray to me daily for good harvests. I have no time to search for my daughter. So, your trial will be this — ensure that farmers can reap bountiful harvests without needing to rely on me!"
Food is the basis of survival.
This is a truth in any human civilization.
As the Goddess of Agriculture, she was arguably the hardest-working god of them all.
Refusing would mean countless people starving — something she could not bear.
So she had no choice but to keep working overtime.
She truly had no time to look for her daughter.
"Alright!"
Nameless nodded.
In his palm, a few grains of seed appeared.
"This is hybrid rice. On the same amount of land, it produces several times the yield of wheat — and can be harvested twice a year, even three times at most."
"This amazing?"
Demeter looked at the seeds in surprise.
With this little thing, she wouldn't need to rush to answer every prayer. She could have plenty of time to search for her daughter.
Demeter couldn't help marveling.
"What kind of being could accomplish something on par with me?"
As the Goddess of Agriculture, she could see it clearly — these tiny seeds carried decades of selective breeding, generation after generation.
It gave them an astonishing yield, enough for mortals to live without the gods — a possibility she had never imagined!
Nameless answered seriously
. "A completely ordinary mortal from my time."
"A mortal???"
Demeter was even more astonished.
Someone who could free humanity from dependence on the gods — how could that be just a mortal?
Such a person should have been worshipped as a god long ago!
"Yes. Doctor, show the goddess."
Nameless called in some outside help.
"Right away!"
Dr. Roman instantly projected the relevant video.
Ever since arriving in this distant age of gods, he hadn't been able to do much — most of the time he could only watch.
The video appeared.
In a golden, ripe rice field, an elderly man stood at the edge, smiling warmly.
He wore ordinary clothes, a hat, and looked exactly like a common old farmer — as if he'd just returned from a day's work.
The footage sped up.
This old farmer selected two rice strains with subtle differences but complementary strengths, crossbreeding them generation after generation.
One year, two years, three… ten years…
Decades of effort led to a bumper harvest, with yields increasing year by year.
The heavy, golden grain heads brought him a smile — yet he continued working in the fields.
Famine vanished from the land.
No one starved. The tragedies of cannibalism during famine became impossible.
"This man… truly is…"
Demeter sighed softly.
She could tell immediately — this really was a mortal.
To solve the problem of feeding countless people… this was truly a divine feat in all but name.
And yet, despite decades of hard work and countless achievements, he had never changed his humble heart — still busy in the fields.
Instead of enjoying worship and offerings as most would, he simply kept working.
Demeter looked at the old man resting under the shade of the rice plants and said with deep respect:
"To stand alongside the gods while still a mortal… your people truly are full of hope!"
