Anthea did not want to cooperate with the seven deadly sins, but she could not defy the orders of her two elder sisters, so she ultimately yielded to their decision.
Her divine soul was indeed as pure as the seven deadly sins had expected, almost flawless, so she easily crossed the door between the two Worlds.
As ancient beings, the seven deadly sins indeed possessed unique attainments in magic, managing to deceive Dane's warning magic.
"Come, Your Highness, come quickly…"
As soon as she entered the Rock of Eternity, Anthea was jointly infiltrated by the power of the seven deadly sins, her mind invaded.
She was now just an ordinary girl without magic, no different from Gabriel, and completely unable to resist the combined attack of the seven deadly sins.
With a dazed expression, she quietly approached the seven statues, reached out her hand, and placed it on one of them.
"lust" broke the seal of the statue, transmitting its power through the point of contact on her hand to Anthea, entering her body through her pores.
When the power transfer was complete, the statue shattered with a crash, turning into a pile of stone debris.
But this also caused Anthea to instantly regain consciousness.
"I… what happened to me?"
Anthea, as Atlas's youngest daughter and one of the rare virgin Goddesses in the Olympian pantheon, was not well-known simply because she was not a primary deity and had no particularly famous deeds.
But this could not conceal the fact of her inner purity, so as soon as the power of "lust" invaded her body, it was met with an extremely strong repulsion.
But Anthea had no power to refuse; all she could do was remain conscious and watch as the power of "lust" took up residence in her body.
"This is just a small gift, my Your Highness. You should focus on fulfilling your mission."
"lust's" seductive voice rang out from the depths of Anthea's heart; it was a very pleasant female voice that instantly dispelled her doubts.
She complied with "lust's" idea, came to the door she had just exited, and recited the incantation under "lust's" guidance.
Once the incantation was finished, the prohibition on the door was instantly lifted.
She opened the door, and Hespera and Calypso were already waiting for her behind it.
"Well done." Hespera patted Anthea's shoulder and walked past her.
Calypso, however, discovered a new power in Anthea. She gave her a meaningful glance and then followed Hespera into the Rock of Eternity.
Hespera's goal was clear. She followed her senses into the storeroom and took a black apple from among the many treasures.
She recited an incantation, and the black lacquer on the apple peeled off, revealing golden patterns inside. This was a golden apple.
Perhaps also the last golden apple in the entire World.
Hespera was overjoyed, but when she looked back, she saw Calypso accepting the power of the seven deadly sins.
Calypso stood before the "jealousy" statue, took a deep breath, and "jealousy" transformed into a magical mist that entered her body.
"Ah~ this power, it's truly wonderful~"
Hespera frowned. She saw that two of the statues had already shattered into dust, and roughly understood that her two younger sisters had both accepted the power of the seven deadly sins.
Even Anthea had done this? She could hardly believe it.
Anthea had always been the most upright and kind among them.
She saw that Hespera still wanted to walk to the second statue, as if the absorbed power was not enough, and immediately stepped forward to stop her.
She grabbed Calypso's hand and exclaimed, "Enough! You cannot bear too much Sin. Do not covet their power."
Infested by too much Sin, even a God could fall because of it.
Calypso was eager to try, seemingly wanting to resist her, which made Hespera frown deeply.
At this moment, the power of "Arrogance" leaked from its statue, and then its smoky form climbed onto Hespera like a living thing. This time, she did not refuse.
If she didn't accept, she might not be able to suppress the radical Calypso in the future.
Moments later, Hespera fully accepted "Arrogance's" magic.
As the eldest Goddess, her use of energy was far beyond what Calypso and Anthea could achieve.
On the surface, she even seemed completely unaffected by "Arrogance."
"Arrogance" was the strongest of the seven deadly sins. With this power as her backing, and Calypso, who had been disciplined for many years, not daring to defy her elder sister's orders,
she could only give up, reluctantly leaving the remaining four statues.
But the remaining four deadly Sins were not in a hurry; they knew there would be an opportunity. So, four magical lights lit up, and the remaining four deadly Sins transformed into four palm-sized statues that fell to the ground.
Hespera grabbed them before Calypso, ignoring her indignant gaze.
"Let's leave here quickly. The next destination is the human realm. We must find that Guardian and reclaim the Scepter!"
"Regarding this, we have a suggestion…"
The voices of the seven deadly sins echoed in the hearts of the three Goddesses… In the Peninsula Hotel, June Moone, who had been sound asleep, suddenly opened her eyes.
Her eyes were vacant, and she softly muttered, "Enchantress."
In a blink, she transformed into the Enchantress, her eyes glowing with a faint divine light.
Dane, sleeping beside her, was awakened by her movements and also opened his eyes.
"Enchantress? What's wrong?" Dane asked in surprise.
Are you suggesting a second round?
But the Enchantress only looked at him seriously: "Something was stolen from the warehouse."
Oh? Dane sat up. For a thief to get in like this, the person must be extraordinary!
"Do you know what was lost?"
The Enchantress was connected to the warehouse, so she merely closed her eyes, searched, and knew what it was.
"It's a golden apple, and the seven deadly sins have escaped the Rock of Eternity."
Dane's mind quickly analyzed, and he soon realized that this was probably the seven deadly sins teaming up with the three Goddesses in the Small God Realm, helping them break their seals and helping themselves break theirs.
As expected of the seven great Sin incarnations that have existed since ancient times, they have some tricks up their sleeves!
He suddenly felt quite curious to see what they could pull off.
However, the seven deadly sins were too annoying. They managed to escape even like this. He wondered if there was a way to solve them once and for all?
Dane pondered various possibilities, and suddenly, he had a somewhat immature idea.
Recently, his research on the Parasite Demon's corpse had reached a new stage. Perhaps he could try demonization… using the Shazam Force as a template to create a new contract magic.
Moreover, the golden apple and the Tree of Life were divine objects that had long disappeared from Earth. He wondered if Hespera could restore them to their former glory from the age of Gods.
Perhaps, he should wait and see?
He patted the Enchantress's White back, signaling her to lie back down.
"Let's leave them alone for now. If they are coming for me, then I believe we will meet soon."
The Witch didn't know who Dane's "they" referred to, but she was always obedient and dutifully snuggled under the covers.
However, now that both of them were awake, it felt wrong not to do something; after all, they were just idle.
Perhaps some beneficial exercise was in order.
No sooner said than done, in less than three minutes, the room began to shake again... Meanwhile, the Three Goddesses also arrived in the World through the Rock of Eternity's gate.
Thousands of years had passed, and the World had long since changed beyond recognition.
Their Greek-style armor was quite an eyesore in the eyes of humans.
Countless people stared at them.
But everyone thought they were just cosplaying, though they didn't know who they were cosplaying.
"Wow, your outfits are so cool! Where did you buy them?"
The Three Goddesses looked over at the sound and saw a little girl, about thirteen or fourteen years old. Despite her young age, her 'granaries' were already quite developed.
The Goddesses watched as she held a strange, rectangular card-like object, pointing it at them.
Calypso's temper flared, and she reached out to grab the little girl, but Hespera stopped her.
"Don't startle the snake."
Hespera had only taken a quick glance; the number of humans on the entire street was simply countless, more than the combined population of all eras she had seen before.
She was somewhat wary and decided to act cautiously until her power was fully restored.
Fortunately, the seven deadly sins fed on human wickedness, and the more humans there were, the stronger their power would be, which also meant the stronger the power of the three sisters would be.
Time was on their side.
Anthea was very interested in humans; it was the first time she had seen living humans in so many years, so she was very curious.
She was afraid her two sisters would do something to the girl, so she quickly stepped forward.
"Hello, we are new to this place, so we don't quite understand the rules. My name is Anthea."
The young girl put away her phone, extended a hand, and greeted Anthea warmly: "Hello, my name is Mary, Mary Bromfield. Welcome to Philadelphia."
