The Greece Antagonist-Chapter 417 - 283: Hecate, I Have Ascended to Godhood! (6k)_3
Chapter 417: Chapter 283: Hecate, I Have Ascended to Godhood! (6k)_3
The divine seal on her opponent’s body allowed her to track the target flawlessly. Therefore, despite repeated setbacks, she never truly believed she would lose.
“Stop struggling, you won’t be able to escape,” she said.
Hecate looked at her wayward disciple, who had no escape, and sighed, touched by a sense of compassion.
“Don’t worry, I only want that divinity, not necessarily your death. Just hand it over willingly, and I’ll do my best to preserve your spirit so you can be reborn,” she said gently.
“Do your best?”
“Even reclaiming your divinity does not grant me power beyond Fate, so I can only do my best,” Hecate replied with a hint of helplessness.
“Should I be thanking you then?”
Luo En spoke with a smirk, showing no respect for Hecate’s gesture of goodwill.
What a joke? He had fought tooth and nail to get where he was today, letting himself be used for someone else’s gain, as if he were a fool?
Not to mention, Hecate’s idea of “doing her best” was dubious at best.
Even if she had a change of heart and succeeded in her plan, and he managed to reincarnate after being completely drained by Hecate, just the thought of losing his power and starting from scratch, living a life dependent on others and filled with constant fear, was unbearable for Luo En.
Sensing her disciple’s resistance, Hecate’s tone softened further.
“What if I make you one of my lesser deities? Would that compensate enough?” she offered.
“It sounds quite good,” he said.
Luo En nodded, seemingly persuaded by the generous offer. However, his eyes twinkled mischievously as he spoke with a hint of ridicule.
“But you seem in a hurry, which means you’re not entirely sure of your victory, are you?”
“…”
Hecate stiffened, the vaguely trembling shadow of her soul wavering, her smile freezing on her face.
Although these were only fragments of the will marked by the Old Gods, resisting so many soul and divinity attacks wearied even this Queen of Hell.
If she had absolute overpowering strength, there would be no need to negotiate or play mind games.
One resorts to strategy when power is not balanced, without full confidence of victory.
This is one limitation of conspiracies.
But even so, the situation was still within her control.
“You are indeed exceptional, even more so than I had expected. You’ve not only survived countless dangers but have also silently devoured a portion of the Fate of the Olympian Twelve Gods, allowing that ‘Seed’ to bloom and bear fruit at an astonishing pace,” Hecate said sincerely, admiring him.
Such cunning, such potential, made him far more suited for the Divine Office of ‘Conspiracy’ than Melinoe, making him an asset to her.
But some choices, once made, cannot be undone.
Hecate sighed inwardly, discarding a trace of regret and spoke the final verdict and her reliance.
“But no matter what, you cannot beat me. For without becoming a Chief God before now, you cannot wield that Divinity. This ‘Fruit’ was never meant for you, it was meant for me,” she said.
As her words fell, Hecate transformed into a shadowy light, shooting forward.
She was the Goddess of Paths and Opportunity, whereas the power he inherited from the God of Opportunity, Porus, could not be utilized without the rank of a Chief God or higher, a fact she had kept hidden.

And once she regained the divinity of the same origin, her previously depleted power would recover swiftly, leaving no chance for a reversal, regardless of his immense cleverness.
This game, she could not lose!
Just as Hecate, filled with confidence, charged towards the intended ‘easy prey,’ a deep voice resonated in her ears.
“Too late…”
In that instant, the lamb destined for slaughter lifted its head, a mocking smile spreading across its face as he opened his arms, seemingly welcoming something.
“Hum!”
Suddenly, the world overhead shook violently, and countless stars lit up in the void, forming the projections of eighty-eight constellations. A vast ocean of starlight poured down, showering Luo En.
Bathed in the starlight, Luo En seemed to undergo a miraculous transformation, his aura rising by leaps and bounds.
Seeing this, Hecate’s face was filled with disbelief.
How could this be?
Realizing Hecate’s confusion, Luo En asked meaningfully.
“Do you know what day it is today?”
“What?”
“The annual festival of the God of Wine,” Luo En answered softly, then added,
“Of course, maybe it’s a bit early.”
“What are you trying to say?” Hecate couldn’t help but ask, anxiety creeping onto her calm and elegant face.
This feeling was terrible, completely out of control, utterly unexpected!
It seemed like the die once held between applauding hands had found a way to escape her control completely.
Luo En looked at his opponent and former mentor, Hecate, smiling as he spoke.
“This is what I learned behind that door in the Elysian Fields: If a thousand cats dream the same dream, they might change the world. What if tens of thousands of people call upon the same name, praise the same deity?
Especially when most of the Olympian gods are absent from the Mortal World…”
Instantly, Hecate realized everything, her expression dramatically shifting as the answer slipped out.
