Fate: I Heard After Death, You Can Ascend to the Throne of Heroes?

Chapter 178: Thetis: But I don't want to see you again!!!



"Hmm... I don't know why, but I suddenly have the urge to take out my little notebook and write down the names of all those unscrupulous bastards!"

At this moment, on the back of Pegasus, Promise suddenly frowned.

As the sun finally rose, shortly after the goddess of night, Nyx, returned to the underworld with Hecate, Pegasus left the divine realm with Promise.

Accompanying him was...

"Hmm?"

A gentle voice rang out.

Sitting behind Promise, the sea goddess Thetis asked softly,

"Is something wrong, Promise?"

"Oh, it's nothing, Goddess Thetis," Promise replied, turning his head to look at her.

Her slightly curled blue hair, as beautiful as the deep blue sea, and her profound, enchanting eyes, along with her gentle, flawless face, made her captivating.

After the affairs of Olympus were over and the sun rose, she accompanied the boy and left the kingdom of the gods together.

"Speaking of which, Goddess Thetis, aren't you staying behind to wait for the great god king's praise?" Promise asked curiously. "You took such a huge risk to save the god king, after all."

Hearing this, Thetis couldn't help but roll her eyes at the boy as she said, "I didn't really see any risk; everything became a mess because of you... And I didn't even do anything in the end."

Without waiting for Promise to respond, she smiled again and said, "Besides, I didn't go to Olympus to gain anything. I went because of you, Promise."

"Ah?" Promise was taken aback.

"I've never even thanked you for helping my friend Scylla. I thought I could use this opportunity to repay the favor, but I didn't expect..."

In the end, she had only played a minor role, almost as if she hadn't been there at all.

Thinking about this, Thetis felt a little speechless, and her gaze at the boy became filled with a slight grievance.

After all, she was the wise one of the sea, yet this time, she barely had any role to play!

"And not only was I unnecessary, but at the beginning, a certain someone even teamed up with Goddess Hecate to tie me up and bully me... Ah, I feel too embarrassed to go out anymore, crying, crying."

At first, Promise felt a bit awkward until he noticed that the goddess was pretending to cry in front of him.

With a few more black lines on his forehead, he said helplessly, "Goddess Thetis, your character is falling apart."

Where was the gentle and virtuous side?

What was with this darker vibe?

Crying,

Thetis said nothing, and continued to pretend crying.

Seeing this, Promise was helpless and could only say, "Well... should I apologize?" "An apology isn't enough."

"Then, Goddess Thetis, what kind of compensation do you think I should offer..."

Before Promise could finish his words, Thetis suddenly stopped pretending and reached out, grabbing him as she showed her fangs and said with a smile, "No need for compensation! Just come to my place as a guest, and I'll forgive you!"

"Well... Goddess Thetis, maybe we should talk more about compensation."

"Am I really that scary?" Thetis opened her eyes wide, looked at the boy with tears in her eyes, and said, "Do you really dislike me that much? I've invited you twice already!"

"...Goddess Thetis, your character is really falling apart."

"And it's not that, Goddess Thetis! I really don't have time; I need to rush back to the Argo to complete the unfinished adventure!"

Hearing this, Thetis raised an eyebrow, hesitated for a moment, then rolled her eyes again at Promise and said, "I realize I don't even have a reason to refute you... Promise, are you too good at dealing with goddesses?"

Promise remained silent.

After seeing each other constantly over the past two years and dealing with all sorts of chaotic situations, it was inevitable that he developed this skill.

"Sigh, fine."

Thetis released her grip on Promise's hand and said softly, "I'm just a goddess who's disliked and unwanted. I won't make things difficult for you."

Hearing this, Promise was about to laugh, but then he noticed a genuine trace of melancholy flash through Thetis's eyes, which made him pause for a moment.

He tilted his head, thinking for a bit.

"Goddess Thetis, could it be... that something is truly bothering you?"

Hearing his words, Thetis was momentarily stunned, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes as she looked at Promise.

Then, she smiled again and softly replied, "Yes, I'm very troubled. There's a boy who has been unwilling to visit my home, even though I've invited him several times."

"Hmm... is that so? I'm truly sorry, Goddess Thetis." After a brief silence, Promise also smiled and responded this way.

The two didn't continue the conversation further.

At that moment, Pegasus suddenly sped up, quickly carrying them back to the surface of the

sea.

After Thetis dismounted from Pegasus, she stood on the surface of the ocean, looking at the young man still sitting on Pegasus, and smiled as she extended one last invitation: "Won't you really come to my place for a visit?"

Promise shook his head.

If it had been before, he might have actually agreed.

But now, that petite goddess of fate had already informed him of his destined end.

At that moment, Promise truly felt a sense of urgency.

Because he understood deep in his heart that his time... was probably really running out.

And there were still many things he needed to do.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"I see," Thetis said softly, with a tone of regret.

Just as she was about to turn and leave.

"Goddess Thetis," Promise called out to her, and said with a smile, "You haven't said

goodbye to me yet."

Before Thetis could respond, the boy continued, "Goodbye, gentle goddess."

And without waiting for her reply, Promise pulled on the pure white reins of Pegasus and left

with it.

As she turned around, gazing at the boy's departing figure, Thetis's eyes flickered slightly, and she softly murmured, "But... I don't want to see you again."

"Alright, let's start by organizing the things that need to be done next."

Pegasus, one of the most mystical creatures in ancient Greek mythology, symbolized art, with

a form both graceful and elegant.

It carried the black-haired, green-eyed young man on its back, galloping across the Greek mainland, visiting every corner of this ancient land under the guidance of the gods.

Pegasus ran and ran without stopping.

One day, when it finally stopped, it would mark the end of its adventure with the boy... and at this moment, that day when it would stop was no longer far away.

"The goddess Clotho has already told me that my end is tied to Typhon... Typhon, also known as Typhoeus, is the greatest enemy of Zeus, the king of the gods in ancient Greek mythology.

He was the only one who almost overthrew the rule of the Olympian gods, the father of all

monsters."

"It's said that the nine-headed Hydra, the three-headed hellhound Cerberus, and the Chimaera that laid waste to the earth were all his children.

He even once defeated Zeus, the king of the gods... I have to say, the goddess Athena really

has high expectations of me."

Promise sighed, but he wasn't flustered at all. Instead, he smiled.

That smile was filled with anticipation!

Because this was indeed the heroic end he had always longed for.

And it was truly magnificent, just like the vow made by that once-young boy and the pure

goddess of wisdom.

He would become a hero and meet his end, in a way that would shock the world and the gods "The Heroic Spirit class still hasn't changed... Even though I led the gods on a rampage and

even bullied that proud goddess quite a bit."

As Promise spoke, a golden class card appeared in his hand.

He played with it for a moment before tossing it into the air, where it vanished.

"This just proves that my previous assumptions were correct.

Now that I've reached the rank of a five-star Heroic Spirit, I've hit a peak. To ascend any further, I must accomplish something truly world-shaking, a unique achievement." "For example, leading the heroes to complete the adventure of the Golden Fleece, collecting

all the paintings of the Olympian gods, and defeating Typhon to bring about a perfect ending... These are my main tasks moving forward."

"To describe it in a simple and easy-to-understand word-this is the 'main plot!""

With that thought, Promise paused slightly, then smiled and said, "If I complete all of this and still don't achieve the Grand Rank, no one else would dare claim it."

After speaking, he pulled out a small notebook where he kept track of grudges and scanned

the list.

"As for now, there are two things I can take care of first... The matter of the Argo isn't urgent

as it still has some time before it reaches its destination. And besides, before I head to the Argo, I must meet with my goddess teacher, no matter what."

Because aboard that ship was a girl, destined to become the most beautiful woman in the

world-Helen.

And she possessed something that even made Promise's scalp tingle-the god of love, Cupid's

bow and arrow.

Getting shot by that thing was no joke!

"But my goddess teacher is in the Olympian realm right now, and who knows how long it will

take her to return..."

Recalling the scene when he left, with Queen Hera still bound, struggling, and even gagged,

Promise silently apologized in his heart to the goddess he 'worshipped' and stuck out his

tongue.

It wasn't that he didn't want to save her; it was just that the situation was too intense for him

to dare step in!

"Maybe I should pull Goddess Hecate into this-she might have a way to stop that arrow from

hitting me, right?"

As Promise said this, Hecate, who had just returned to her temple in the depths of the underworld and hadn't even rested, suddenly felt a chill.

Helpless, resigned, but reliable goddess hugged herself at that moment. "Hmm... Maybe not. I can't be that heartless. I'm a very good person, after all." Promise nodded after thinking it over. "Better to let her rest for now. Once the cooldown on

her card is over, I'll ask for her help again!"

Though they had been joking around, Promise could faintly sense that if he made her work

again, that goddess might actually do something drastic-like going down with him and

destroying the world together.

Sigh, what an un-goddess-like person.

Aren't gods supposed to love humanity? 'Why don't they get out more and help me?!' Promise pouted, feeling quite dissatisfied.

"Well, I'll put the matter of Helen aside for now. Although this involves the goddess of

beauty's painting, there's nothing I can do. And as for the other matter besides Helen..." Just as Promise was sorting out his thoughts, Pegasus brought him to his destination. It was the place where his journey in this world had begun-Mount Pelion, home of Chiron

the centaur sage. Promise had returned to stand before his teacher, Chiron.
