At the same time, Poseidon spoke again:
"But we gave you a chance."
"Chance!?"
Athena's voice suddenly rose, and she turned to look at the disheveled God of Love and God of Light behind Poseidon, letting out a cold laugh.
"Is this the opportunity you're referring to?"
"Make me a traitor like you?"
"And then Viktor beat him up to this state?"
Athena knew exactly what Poseidon meant by 'opportunity'.
After witnessing Poseidon's actions, Athena also gave it serious consideration.
Should she betray Victor like Poseidon and side with humanity?
As the goddess of wisdom, she is accustomed to considering problems from multiple perspectives and choosing the most cost-effective solution.
When she witnessed Cupid return to humanity, she discovered that...
The divinity of the god of love seems to have been restored.
Originally immersed in grief over Ares' death, her eyes were filled with hatred for Victor.
But after Cupid joined the human race, her grief and hatred were significantly lessened.
This is clearly the effect of the restoration of divine power.
Her beliefs seemed to have the support of those fanatical, restless people.
Their devotion and longing for Cupid are evident.
However, Apollo was different.
He remains susceptible to Artemis's provocations and his emotions fluctuate.
This is understandable.
After all, compared to Apollo, Cupid is more likely to attract human attention.
Even after Apollo, the god of light, returned to the human world, few people paid attention to him.
His divine nature was restored almost unnoticed.
Therefore, although returning to the human side could indeed restore one's strength, or even make one stronger,
But the situation might be like that of the god of light and the god of love.
An eye-catching tactic to gain attention.
It was so ordinary that no one paid any attention to it.
Humans are visual creatures, and naturally tend to be attracted to those who are good-looking.
Although Apollo was also quite handsome, he was definitely not as charming as Cupid.
So, what advantages does Athena's return bring?
She pondered for a moment and felt that she didn't have much of an advantage.
Although she was confident that her looks were no less than Aphrodite's, she knew she was no match for her charm.
She wasn't as open-minded as Cupid, nor could she accept Cupid's revealing attire.
Moreover, even if she were to return, she would be doing so as a defector.
In name only, she could no longer be as noble as Poseidon, and it was unlikely that human faith would lean towards her.
Therefore, she chose to stay on Victor's side.
Moreover, even if she stayed by Viktor's side, Athena wouldn't have to worry about being isolated and helpless.
First of all, the goddess of the hunt and the god of light are mortal enemies, and they can't stand each other.
If Artemis decides to join the human side, Apollo might shamelessly follow her.
But if Apollo had joined first, the goddess of the hunt would definitely not have followed.
The reason is still the same.
Apollo was incredibly promiscuous, even worse than Cupid, because he didn't distinguish between men and women, and was indiscriminate in his affections.
It was unacceptable to the innocent Artemis; she considered it disgusting and unclean.
As for Vulcan, Athena knew he would definitely stay.
Needless to say, the gods were fully aware of his entanglement with the god of love.
Now the gods have endowed humanity with it.
Can Vulcan forgive Eros?
Finally, Athena believed she wouldn't fight alone, thanks to their shared traits.
All three of them have killed humans.
In the previous battle, following Viktor's orders, they faced three humans at the level of Master Eight.
Before Poseidon broke the rules, they had no choice but to end the lives of their respective opponents.
Humans would find this scene hard to accept.
Before the eyes of countless viewers around the world, these gods murdered their own human brethren.
Any god that kills humans will be considered an evil god!
Not to mention, they killed three of the Eight Masters, which is even more likely to arouse strong resentment and deep hatred among people.
Therefore, rather than returning to the human side and becoming cannon fodder for Zeus.
It's better to take a bold gamble and open up a completely new track.
Since the gods already have differing opinions and are at odds with each other, why force yourself to stand with Zeus?
It would be better to start a business with the new boss. If they succeed, the boss will definitely remember them, the old employees.
In the end, Victor snapped his fingers and dispelled the dark clouds that had been obscuring the sky, allowing the sun to shine on the land once more.
This also made Athena realize that
She didn't lose the bet.
She didn't trust the wrong person.
Viktor's strength far exceeded her expectations.
Of course, one's inner thoughts and spoken words must not be the same.
Even though she knew she was now on the villain's side.
You should try to make your words sound honest.
At the very least, you should state your reasons in a way that is both open and aboveboard.
At this moment, Athena understood the meaning behind what Victor had initially told her:
"As long as your actions are righteous, you will not be attacked by the goddess of justice."
Therefore, she attacked Poseidon and the others because they had broken the rules first.
This reason is valid, so there is no problem.
To some extent, Athena is also a skilled actress.
"Why, Uncle?" she asked.
"We still had a chance."
Looking at Poseidon, she shook her head.
