"So… You came back?"
Euryale sat with her legs crossed on the rock, looking down at Medusa sitting in front of her with her head bowed.
"Yes, Onee-sama."
"Also... bought a person?" Euryale looked with interest at the person - Atalanta leaning comfortably against a tree not far away.
"Yes, Onee-sama."
"You're still as boring as ever," Euryale grabbed a branch and poked Medusa in the head, "Following Cyd for so long, yet no progress."
"Sorry, Onee-sama."
"But to think he went there. That's where the gods meet," Euryale sighed, "He probably won't come back."
Medusa's body shuddered violently, and her head almost dropped to the ground.
"Then I'll be here waiting. Blessed by Hades, he won't die, let be it a hundred years, a thousand years, or ten thousand years, forever or ever, I'll be here obediently waiting for him to come back."
Atalanta, who was standing not far away, bit her lip after listening to Medusa's words.
"A stupid younger sister, right? Elder sister," Euryale reached up and raised Medusa's head.
"Yeah," Stheno said lazily, leaning on Euryale's back and staring at the sky, "Medusa you've always been like this."
"Sorry."
"Go find him," Euryale pinched Medusa's face, "A hundred years, a thousand years, ten thousand years, forever, even if every part of this world is destroyed. Walk all over, don't stop until you find him."
"Elder sister..." Medusa stared blankly at Euryale.
"Who made you such a worrying stupid young sister," Euryale sighed helplessly, "Cyd's journey has no end, but you can accompany him all the way down with him. Stop as long as you want."
"Go ahead," Stheno's mouth slowly rose, "Our stupid younger sister."
Atalanta silently put the bow and arrow on her back.
She can't do it, she doesn't have the long lifespan of Medusa, and she can't accompany
Cyd for a long time, but she will never give up. She is the woman who can chase Cyd to the Underworld.
Even if this is an endless chase, she will keep running.

Olympus Mountain…
"Can I leave?"
"Although I have seen the expression I want to see, unfortunately, I still want to see more," Hermes stuck out his tongue with mischief and at the same time picked up a plate of roast chicken from the table, "Would you like some?"
"The banquet of the Gods," Cyd's eyes twitched wildly, "Is it really good for me to come here for this occasion?"
"It's really impossible for you to die as an immortal, but there are some accidents," Apollo patted Cyd's shoulder, "I can't help you this time even if I want to help you. Sigh! woman..."
After Apollo finished speaking, he sighed and picked up the erhu and pulled it up. The tragic tune gave Cyd a sense that he was about to hit the road.
When Cyd saw the center of the conflict, he thought he might actually be on his way.
A Golden Apple engraved for the most beautiful Goddess, and three Goddess surrounding it.
"Speaking of which this is obviously someone else's wedding banquet, but it was messed up by an apple," Hermes curls his lips, "It's obvious that everyone has good wisdom, and when it comes to beauty, it becomes like this."
"So?" Cyd looked embarrassed, "They are all proud, and it is impossible to convince or persuade each of them."
"So, we should choose a fair one. Let him decide who this apple should be given," Hermes puffed up his chest, as if imitating someone with a serious face, "Then let the Hero of Pure White, the hero mortals sing all the time decide."
Cyd's expression freezes.
"By the way, that's what Zeus said," Hermes moved towards Zeus, who was sitting in the first place with his chin propped up, grinning watching the fun with a smile.
It seemed that Zeus was aware of Cyd's gaze, and Zeus also looked over, and then showed a kind smile.
Well, very kind, but the eyes of those three Goddesses are very kind.
"Long time no see Cyd," Athena stroked her silver hair naturally, walked to Cyd and raised her left hand, "I have been watching you, you have never let me down."
So, it should be clear who you should choose!
Hermes slipped away whistling, holding back his head. Apollo hides away while pulling erhu.
"This is... my final trial for you!" Athena stroked the crystals on white jade's wristbands, and silver's eyes stared at Cyd's eyes, "I will bless you!"
Sure enough, as Hermes said, even the head of the goddess of wisdom was dazzled by the apple.
If it was in the past, Cyd might have been nodded. After all, Athena has been helping him through other methods.
But...
"I will bless you!" ×2
The other two hands stretched out and grabbed Cyd.
Athena's perfectly clear hint can be understood by anyone with a little brain, so Goddess of Beauty - Aphrodite and Queen of the Gods - Hera spoke to Cyd in almost the same tone.
"As long as you choose me!" ×2
Cyd glanced at Athena helplessly.
The conditions are evened out, but...
It hurts! God is so powerful! Stop teasing me!
Zeus smiled and looked at Cyd, who was about to be divided by three women, but there was a hint of deepness hidden under the smile.
"It's useless to fight like this. Blessings shouldn't be used to fighting," Athena took the lead in letting go, with a cold and holy face.
"That's right, it's just to even out the conditions," Hera nodded and let go. But…
"I have no opinion," Aphrodite didn't let go and hugged Cyd's arms in her arms, sticking out her tongue towards Athena and Hera.
"Whoosh—"
A blood-coloured long spear rubbed through Aphrodite and smashed into the pillar, and a strand of blond hair fell slowly.
Ares took a cold look at Aphrodite and closed her eyes.
"Hii…!" Aphrodite squatted on the ground holding her head with a frightened face.
Athena turned her head away, covering her mouth.
Well deserved!
Cyd took a step back silently. The long spear just now was clearly aimed at Aphrodite. It was just too much of excitement for him to have a long spear flying past in front of his eyes. It is better to stay away from this femme fatale beauty.
Artemis, who was standing behind Zeus, nodded and put down the bow and arrow aimed at Cyd's forehead.
"It's a pity," Hermes curled his lips in disappointment. Obviously things were just getting interesting in his viewpoint.
"Indeed," Zeus nodded earnestly, and gave Hermes a tacit high-five.
