"But that's why I've never been able to leave this small room."
"Unless I accept the power of 'Hestia' and become a true god."
However, Hestia helplessly spread her hands, a slight smile playing on her lips and a raised eyebrow, revealing a hint of nonchalance.
"To be free, I must accept divine power and become a true god, but becoming a true god means I must abandon my personality."
"In that case, I'd rather never go out."
Anyway, she can still play games here even if she doesn't leave.
Upon hearing these words, Victor recalled the scene when he first met Athena and the other gods, and some things came to mind.
He didn't say much, but directly asked Hestia:
"How does this relate to my question?"
But as soon as he finished speaking, Victor saw Hestia turn her head and give him a clear eye roll.
"Sigh, you young people are so impetuous."
Her youthful, girlish face, coupled with these words directed at Viktor, felt somewhat incongruous.
However, considering the timeline of the gods' existence, they all basically appeared a thousand years ago.
Hestia's words and tone naturally seemed less strange.
"Since I've mentioned these things, there must be some relevance to them."
With that, Hestia sighed and continued, a hint of melancholy in her voice:
"Haven't you ever thought about it? Since even I know about 'The Players,' is it possible that Zeus and the others also know about 'The Players'?"
"Of course, it's just that they've forgotten a lot of their past memories because they've become gods."
But there are some things the gods still remember.
They remember where they came from, and they never forget their purpose.
They all wanted to find their way back "home".
This shows that the gods were also outsiders.
But Victor didn't know where they came from.
But now, with Hestia's words, Victor seems to have some clues.
"Ah, so you finally realized it?"
Hestia nodded in satisfaction, seeing that Victor seemed to have come to his senses.
“That’s right, those ‘players’ are just like us, they all come from the same place.”
Upon hearing this, Viktor's gaze immediately turned serious, and he looked at the other person with a solemn expression.
She felt that extremely aggressive gaze, as if it wanted to see her completely naked.
Hestia frowned, her hair stood on end, and she felt a slight chill. She hugged herself tightly.
"Don't look at me like that. Our deal only said I would answer your questions."
"I never agreed to sell my body to you."
Even though I can't resist whatever you do.
Hestia thought to herself, but didn't dare to continue.
Who knows if this special human might suddenly unleash his beastly nature upon seeing such a respectable young girl?
Even after a thousand years, her body is still perfectly clean.
However, Victor naturally had no other thoughts and simply ignored the second half of the other person's sentence.
Through Hestia's words, Victor confirmed his suspicions.
He stared intently at the other person, his eyes filled with serious doubt.
"What did you say?"
"Do you players come from the same place as us?"
Does this mean that gods like Hestia and Zeus were like him?
Did I travel from the real world to this game world?
But they traveled back a thousand years and became gods.
He, on the other hand, transmigrated into the body of the game character Victor.
"Although I don't know why you're not a player, you can still retain your memories like me."
"To be honest, I'm not even sure if you're actually from the same place as me."
"But you must be wondering why I still call players 'players' since we come from the same place."
Seemingly tired of playing games on the TV screen, Hestia slammed the controller down beside her.
He leaned back on the sofa, looking up at the ceiling with a helpless expression.
"Because I retained my memories while becoming 'Hestia'."
What did that mean? Victor was a little confused.
But soon, Hestia explained it to Viktor in a more accessible way.
Do you remember what I said at the beginning?
"If you were a player, you wouldn't hear the word 'player,' nor would you hear anything we're talking about right now."
"It's even less likely that they'll be able to find me in this hidden room."
Indeed, this modern-style room is a new scene that Victor has never seen before in the game.
"According to the game's setting, as a player who comes to the Celestial Realm, you are destined to fight against the gods."
"Only after you have defeated gods such as Zeus will you find the palace that belongs to Hestia."
"Once you enter this palace, the real Hestia will fight you as the boss."
Of course, the Hestia who fights the player is actually herself.
However, Hestia possesses two personalities within her.
One is the divinity associated with the name Hestia.
One is her own humanity.
Once players arrive, they will only encounter the divinity of Hestia.
As for why only Hestia knew about this, it's because she already said so.
