Chapter 40: Saving Sienna

Athena remained silent, her expression unreadable.

There was no need for her to respond; Hermes had hit the nail on the head. Athena had consistently supported Khione's proposal to summon Heroes from another world. She had voted in favor during the initial summoning, again the second time, and now for the third time as well.

Her reasoning was straightforward: she believed that humans from another world had the potential to bring immense benefits to their own world, especially to its inhabitants. If these summoned Heroes could indeed become strong rapidly and defend their world effectively, it would save the gods a tremendous amount of time and effort.

Although the first two summoning attempts had not yielded the expected results, there was something different this time. The Goddess Gaia had assured her of this with a confident smile.
