Chapter 1990 – 1990. God’S Atlantis
“Alright, alright, there’s no need for us to fight amongst ourselves. Everyone, calm down!”
Hermes intervened at the right moment. He cut off the increasingly heated atmosphere. There was no benefit to the gods fighting here. It would only tire everyone out.
“I find Hades suspicious. It’s strange that you, who aren’t one of the Twelve Olympians, are even here. Since when have you been so interested in our affairs?”
Hera spoke sharply. Hermes’ eyes widened, not expecting her to directly attack Hades.
“Hera is right. Why are you here?”
Demeter also chimed in, as if she had been waiting for the opportunity to lash out at Hades.
Hades, his face etched with fatigue, merely sighed.
“This is too much. Why would I side with them? Rather… Hera, I find you suspicious.”
“What did you say?”
“Isn’t it common sense? Among us, the one who hates that human the most isn’t me, but you.”
“Ha, do you really think I would involve other gods, especially gods from outside, just for the sake of a human?”
“I’ll return that same question to you.”
Poseidon, who had been quietly observing, opened his mouth, sounding annoyed.
“Is there even a reason to find the culprit? Betrayal is a bit annoying, but it’s not fatal to us. It’s even ambiguous to call it betrayal… Why don’t we just let it go? Don’t you all feel it deep down? That the trials have become more interesting?”
Hephaestus agreed with his opinion.
“It’s true that the trials have become more interesting. And it’s not like it’s a threat to us. If we don’t like the content of the trials, we can just change them. Of course, I’d prefer to proceed as is.”
“We’ll decide by vote.”
Zeus declared. It was a proclamation. The Olympian gods nodded. All of their power and AP had been invested in these trials. Even Zeus couldn’t ignore the opinions of the other gods.
“If you want to proceed with the trials as is, vote yes. If you want to modify the trials, vote no. There are no abstentions. System, you will oversee the vote.”
「The voting has begun.」
A notification window appeared in Zeus’s eyes, indicating yes and no. He could make his choice simply by thinking, without needing to move a finger.
「The voting results are in.」
The results came in less than 10 seconds.
「Yes: 10 No: 3」
Zeus’s eyebrow twitched.
Was it because there were more yes votes than he expected? No, it was the opposite. Zeus had predicted a unanimous yes vote. The gods of this era basically pursued fun. It was surprising that there were three no votes.
“The trials will proceed as is. However, know this. Those who have sided with the outer gods will surely pay the price.”

I actively went back and forth to the human world. Of course, I wasn’t interfering in the human world and manipulating it as I pleased. There were many famous humans in Greek mythology, not just goddesses and nymphs.
Queens, princesses, and so on. If they had even a little bit of fame or were pretty, I would find them and take them. I had an invisible helmet, so it was very easy to avoid the gazes of other gods. It was sometimes difficult when Hera got angry, but… she wasn’t as sharp as the Hera in the original stories.
And now, Hera was sitting on a golden chair.
Hera, sitting on the sparkling golden chair, was incredibly beautiful.
“Hera, you’re beautiful today as well.”
“…Which human did you go after this time?”
“Do you want to hear?”
“Ha, I’m speechless… Just shut your mouth.”
Hera, leaning back on the golden chair, looked somewhat depressed. I approached Hera and stroked her red hair and cheeks.
Hera, accustomed to the daily, and for hundreds of years, constant physical contact, simply accepted my hand without saying a word.
I was also involved with Aphrodite, but Hera was more my type.
I gently lifted her chin and lowered my head. Hera quietly closed her eyes. Our lips met, and our tongues intertwined. The kiss was as sweet as ever.
“It seems Hephaestus is being spiteful. Should I throw him into Tartarus?”
“Don’t bother. Compared to what you do, this is nothing.”
The golden chair that Hephaestus made and gifted to Hera. Hera couldn’t get up from this chair. It was as if she was trapped in the chair. With Hera’s usual personality, it wouldn’t be strange for her to be furious. But she wasn’t angry. Instead, she seemed a bit depressed.
I stayed by her side. This was the perfect time to earn some points.
As time passed, the Olympian gods gathered. The gods were in an uproar. Hera was the greatest goddess of Olympus, after all.
“This is unbelievable. Hephaestus did such a thing!”
“This is a bit much.”
“He must be punished! Mother, Father! I will punish him!”
Ares rushed towards Hephaestus.
I didn’t think much of it. Hephaestus, who had been wielding a hammer since he was young, was stronger than Ares, the god of war. As expected, Ares was hit by the hammer and his head was cracked open.
“Haa.”
Hera only sighed. I quietly stayed by her side. The gods were in an uproar and began to persuade Hephaestus. His stubbornness was not easy to deal with, so the gods were troubled.
After some time, Hephaestus approached. Dionysus had used alcohol to cloud his judgment. But was he really drunk? I suppressed my curiosity. It wasn’t important at all in the current situation.
“…Mother. I’m sorry. Please forgive me.”
Hephaestus released the device on the golden chair. The power that had been binding Hera disappeared in an instant. Hera didn’t get up from the chair.
“Forgive? I don’t know what you’re talking about. I was just sitting on this chair of my own will.”
“Mother… *sob*.”
Hephaestus sobbed. Hera hugged his shoulder. I nodded, seeing the bond between mother and son.
‘There aren’t many heartwarming stories like this in Greek mythology.’
It was a very rare sight.
The gods nearby, who seemed to have thought the same thing as me, applauded.

Ares appeared before me. His handsome face irritated me to no end.
“Father! Aphrodite and I love each other! Please allow us to marry!”
“You crazy bastard. Aphrodite is my woman! How dare you touch my woman?!”
“That was in the past! We must live in the present, not the past! Aphrodite and I love each other!”
“You still! Aphrodite!!”
My voice echoed throughout Olympus. Aphrodite appeared with a cloud of pink splendor.
“What is it?”
The glamorous woman raised her chin and approached me as if it were natural. She emitted a dizzying fragrance.
“Oh, Aphrodite! I was just having a showdown with Father! Tell Father about our love as well.”
“Ha.”
Aphrodite scoffed. She nestled into my arms. Ignoring Ares, she hugged me tightly.
“I am Zeus’s woman.”
“W-what are you saying! We whispered sweet nothings together!”
“Oh my. Look at him. He’s saying things that could be misunderstood if anyone heard? That wasn’t whispering sweet nothings, it was you praising my beauty. I was just listening because I was bored. The only one who can possess me is Zeus.”
“N-no way…! You were playing with me?!”
Ares staggered and collapsed to the floor. His face was distorted with despair and humiliation.
‘Aphrodite being Aphrodite.’
Aphrodite was definitely not a kind goddess.
Aphrodite grinned at Ares, then trembled. Her breath became slightly ragged, as if she was excited by his ruined face. She then stroked my cheek and kissed my lips. I could bet that Aphrodite’s pussy was soaking wet.
After Hera, Aphrodite was the goddess I had the most relations with. That was because Aphrodite was a goddess of a much older generation than Ares or Artemis.
“T-this, this is impossible…!”
“What if it’s impossible?”
I glared at Ares, spitting out a voice filled with annoyance. Ares flinched.
“F-father, I…”
“How dare you covet my woman? I can’t forgive you, even if you are my son.”
“Please forgive me! I must have been crazy! I swear on the River Styx that I will never covet Aphrodite again!”
“Too late. You have already committed a sin. Get lost to Tartarus.”
“Aaaaaaah!”
Ares’s scream as he fell into the abyss was so loud that it spread throughout Olympus.
Of course, I warned Aphrodite.
“Aphrodite, you played too harsh of a prank.”
“Ah… It’s because Zeus hasn’t been paying attention to me lately.”
Aphrodite took off her clothes and became naked. She moved her waist up and down, her golden hair swaying. As expected, her pussy was soaking wet.
A while later, I had a big fight with Hera. It was because of Ares. Since there was no good reason, I had no choice but to release Ares.
“Behave yourself.”
“I have already sworn on the River Styx.”
“……”
Ares bowed his head.
Could this guy really be so easily subdued? The troublemaker of Olympus?
Tsk.
Just like Cronus, Ares could also turn against me.
Of course, only if he was confident he could beat me.
‘Hera will be helpless then. I’ll make him rot in Tartarus forever. It would be better if I could just kill him… Is there no way to harm a god’s immortality?’
There was no suitable method that came to mind.

Poseidon was riding his horse across the sea as always. Riding across the sea was one of his few hobbies.
While riding coolly across the sea, Poseidon discovered a woman on land. She had blue hair that resembled the sea. Her features were also flawless.
‘Indeed, she is a woman worthy of being my wife.’
Poseidon asked the sea creatures and found out who the woman was.
Medusa.
The third of the Gorgon sisters.
Her beauty was already famous.
‘Now that I know her name, I should go meet her in person.’
Suddenly, the scolding he had received from his younger brother Zeus not long ago came to mind. Hadn’t he said that he smelled of salt?
‘It’s natural for the god of the sea to smell of the sea. But Medusa might not like it… I should at least tidy myself up.’
After tidying up his appearance, Poseidon rode the most beautiful horse he had and approached Medusa.
Medusa looked this way. Poseidon felt his heart pounding and raised the corners of his mouth.
‘You will become a woman of the sea! Poseidon, the god of the sea, has decided so!’
It was the moment he confidently approached. Suddenly, a cloud fell from the sky in front of Medusa. The being that descended from the cloud was Zeus. Zeus smiled and said to Medusa.
“You, become my woman.”
