  "Actually, I know where the Goneion is—" Roy suddenly announced as he and Athena were enjoying their seafood feast.

  Athena, who was sav a lobster, paused.

  "You know where the Goneion is?"

  "Of course." Roy nodded, tinuing to eat his lobster.

  He had already obtaihe Goneion from the Copper Bck Cross.

  "Where is it?" Athena asked eagerly.

  She had been searg for the Goneion ever since she desded to this world.

  So far, she had only found the—Goneion of Metis.

  As a Trinity Goddess, she had already merged with two of her—Aspects.

  Now, she only he Goneion of Medusa.

  Once she obtai, she would bee a plete goddess and would be able to defeat Roy.

  "I see its location with my [Authority] of Prophecy. If you follow me, you'll definitely find it," Roy said, deg to keep the Goneion for now.

  He would return it to Athena after... spending some quality time with her.

  "You have the [Authority] of Prophecy?!" Athena excimed in surprise.

  "Yes, I do," Roy firmed with a smile.

  "There aren't many gods with that [Authority]. Whie did you kill?" Athena wondered. No wonder he was so powerful—He must have sin a Majod.

  "I tell you which god I killed," Roy offered, handing her a skewer of grilled squid.

  Normally—Campione's Authorities were a secret.

  Knowing which god a Campione had sin would make it easier tet their weaknesses.

  Athena stared at him bnkly.

  Roy chuckled and fed her a piece of squid.

  Athena blushed, taking the skewer aing it quietly.

  "By the way, I haven't told you my , have I?" Roy suddenly excimed, spping his forehead. "I'm Roy. If you call me by my name, I'll tell you," he offered.

  Athena silently itted his o memory.

  "Roy."

  Roy smiled, hearing her clear voice.

  "It was Odin" he revealed.

  "What? Odin—the King of the Gods?" Athena was shocked.

  She was familiar with hology. Odin was like Zeus in her own Greek pantheon—an incredibly powerful god.

  And this boy had killed him? Such a feat was—worthy of admiration.

  Athena even doubted if she could defeat him after being a plete goddess.

  But she quickly dismissed that thought.

  She wasn't just a single goddess, but a—Trinity Goddess.

  With all three aspects merged, she would be just as powerful as the King of the Gods.

  That was her fidence.

  "Are you scared—Athena?" Roy teased, seeing her silence.

  "Of course not. Once I get the Goneion—I'll definitely defeat you," Athena decred, though her voice cked vi.

  Roy didn't argue. He simply gave her some lobster.

  ....

  Over the few days, despite g to be takio find the Goneion, Roy took Athena to various pces, showihe human world.

  But Athena never fot her goal of finding the Goneion.

  "Hello?" Roy's phone suddenly rang as he and Athena were enjoying their time at an amusement park.

  "Roy, when are you ing back?" It was Asia's voice.

  "Oh, it's Asia—Don't worry, I'll be ba a few days," Roy replied with a smile.

  "Someone seems to be enjoying themselves a bit too much," another voice chimed in. It was Cire.

  "Cire, I heard that."

  "Aah!" Cire gasped, c her mouth.

  "It's no use hiding now, Cire. I'll py some fun games with you when I get back. Be prepared," Roy said pyfully, his voice ced with a hint of mischief.

  Cire trembled, her pigtails stig up.

  'Oh no, I'm doomed!' she thought.

  Even Rubia felt a bit sorry for Cire. Why did she have to speak up?

  Didn't she see how obedient Saya and Mine were now?

  They used to be quite mischievous, but after being "disciplined" by Roy a few times, they no longer dared to act up.

  Roy had too many tricks up his sleeve, and they were always left embarrassed and flustered.

  Roy hung up the phoh a smirk.

  "Roy, what was that?" Athena asked curiously.

  "That hone call. e o's go py some more," Roy replied, not expining further, and pulled Athena towards atra.

  ....

  Night fell, and Roy strolled through a quiet park, hand-in-hand with Athena.

  Over the past few days, Athena had grown aced to holding his hand.

  "Roy, you already knew where the Goneion was—didn't you?" she asked, breaking the silence.

  Roy sighed. It seemed he couldn't hide it any longer.

  Athena had been asking him about the Goneion's whereabouts, but he had always evaded her questions, saying it wasn't the right time yet.

  He shrugged. "It's with me."

  Athena stared at him, then silently extended her hand.

  "You're not very cute, are you?" Roy chuckled, patting her head and pg the Goneion in her hand.

  It was a bck obsidian medallion with the image of a gon carved on it.

  Athena blushed at the ued head pat, but her excitement at seeing the Goneion was evident.

  "A serpent—I've finally found you."

  The Goneion seemed to e alive in her hand, the Gon's image writhing.

  "Withis, Roy! The moment of the Trinity Goddess's revival!" Athena decred proudly.

  "Go ahead, transform. But I prefer you as you are now," Roy said with a shrug.

  He found Athena more adorable in her loli form than as a young woman.

  Athena blushed at his seemingly affeate words.

  She then began ting an intation.

  ...

  "I sing, I sing the song of the a goddess who ruled heaveh, and the underworld. I sing the ment of the witch sin as a taboo serpent."

  "I am Athena, the Earth Mother who nurtures all, the Queen of the Underworld who governs darkness, the wise ruler who knows the heavens. I, Athena, vow to recim my a form."

  ...

  As she fihe intation, the Goneioed a bright light and merged into her body.

  Athena was enveloped in a blinding radiance.

  When the light subsided, a tall, voluptuous goddess with silver-white hair and a blue wreath appeared.

  This was Athena irinity form.

  She ched her fists, feeling the power c through her body, her face filled with excitement.

  "I haven't fully mastered this power yet, but it's only a matter of time."

  Roy approached her with a smile. "You're beautiful as a young woman, Athena, but I still prefer your loli form."

  "Hmph! Hahaha! Have you been captivated by my beauty?" Athena ughed.

  Roy frowned slightly.

  Was this the same Athena from before?

  "I have recimed my arinity form—Campione, let's fight!" Athena decred, raising her arms in a challengiure.

  "Athena, you think you're ready?" Roy chuckled.

  He decided to put her in her pd turn her bato the quiet, emotionless loli.

  "Hahaha, Campione, I'll show you how powerful the Trinity Goddess is!"

  Athena raised her hand and fired a bst of dark energy towards him.

  BOOM!!!

  The energy exploded on Roy's body, and Athena's face lit up with anticipation.

  But when the smoke cleared, Roy stood unharmed, tilting his head with a mog smile. "Is that all?"

  Athena's power had indeed increased signifitly after being the Trinity Goddess.

  She had broken through the—Pary level.

  Her power was horrifying.

  But to Roy, She was like a newborn baby in front of him, fragile and powerless.

  Athena, seeing his mog smile, was enraged.

  Rumble!

  Two giant serpents materialized beside her.

  "Crush him!" she anded.

  The serpents roared and luowards Roy.

  Roy smirked.

  As the serpents approached, he extended a finger and tapped them twice.

  Crack! Crack! Crack!

  The serpents froze instantly, then shattered into icy dust.

  This was the first time Roy had attacked in their battle.

  And it shocked Athena.

  These serpents were one of her Authorities as the Trinity Goddess, Medusa.

  Yet—Roy had effortlessly destroyed them. Athena began to doubt her ability to defeat him.

  But she didn't dwell on it for long. She unched atack.

  Her purple eyes glowed.

  Everything within her sight turo stone.

  "That won't work on me," Roy said calmly, allowing the petrification to spread over his body.

  As expected, it had no effect.

  Athena frowned.
