Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 14 The Person Who Knows Athena Best

The more Lin You looked, the more he felt something was wrong.

This baby girl has been confirmed to be the incarnation of Athena, but she seems to be sleeping all the time? Is she trying to stop me from writing the ending in her sleep?

Taking a step back, even if the baby girl is awake, can a newborn baby accurately express her wishes?
Lin You recalled the plots of the Saint Seiya series of comics and animations.

Regardless of whether it is the main story or the spin-off, there are two generations of Athena's reincarnations that officially appear; Sasha in the eighteenth century was just an innocent girl in an orphanage, and Saori in the twentieth century was a spoiled daughter of a chaebol.

Before awakening their divinity, they were just ordinary human girls in terms of self-awareness and way of thinking.

How could an ordinary human girl - still a baby girl - consciously stop Lin You from writing the ending and oppose the decision of Chronos, the god of time?
"Are you sure she is against the ending I wrote?" Lin You pointed at the sleeping baby girl and asked the God of Time.

"No doubt about it, it's her."

Lin You lowered his head and saw the little baby girl pursing her lips unconsciously in her sleep, with small bubbles coming out of the corners of her mouth.

Under the divine light, the small bubbles vaguely reflected colorful light.

This is just a stupid girl who has not been weaned; even if she is the reincarnation of the goddess Athena, she is still a goddess who has not been weaned!
"How are you going to communicate with her?" Lin You resisted the urge to roll his eyes. "She should be completely incapable of civil conduct now, let alone discussing high-level topics such as the ending of the story and the fate of the world. Or do you have a way to awaken her divinity and let Athena herself talk to us?"

Chronos's expression was full of helplessness: "No need to discuss. Her opposition does not come from her conscious mind and thinking, but from her subconscious instinct."

"What do you mean?"

"What it means is that her objection is her bottom line, and there is no room for discussion or negotiation." The God of Time looked at the baby girl in the box, like an old man encountering a stubborn and obstinate younger generation.

The so-called instinct is that when you are extremely hungry you need to eat, and when you are extremely thirsty you need to drink water; even if someone next to you explains the reason to you, you will definitely die if you don't eat or drink.

"She won't compromise? Then I can compromise! The ending can be changed to suit her wishes, as long as she can let me know what she objects to and what she wants me to compromise on."

Chronos shook his head: "She can't say; it's like a baby can only get adults to pay attention to itself by expressing emotions, and then analyze its needs."

What expresses emotions?
He actually described a child's crying in such a tactful way.

Lin You couldn't help but swear: "So, children are the most troublesome! Just leave her here and let her perish along with the Saint Seiya world."

A huge earth is pressing down from the sky, and the collision between the two worlds has entered the final countdown.

The two people who were trying to save the world looked at each other in silence, but the person next to them who was trying to destroy the world saw the truth.

"She doesn't want to give up on humanity, doesn't want to return to Mount Olympus, she just wants to stay in the world. Because she is human." Asclepius limped to the mountain with two halves of his staff. I don't know how he managed to regain some of his energy.

"What do you mean?" Lin You had been paying attention to Asclepius. Even though the other party's voice was so soft that it seemed like he was just mumbling to himself, he could hear it clearly.

Asclepius approached with his scepter, but was stopped by Chronos' gaze. He could only look down at the baby girl in the cradle from a few steps away. At this moment, there was no murderous intent in him, and his eyes seemed to have become peaceful.

"Although true gods descend to the world every time a holy war breaks out, only Athena is born as a human. Each generation of Athena's reincarnation has an independent personality. In them, humanity is always greater than divinity. This is completely different from Poseidon or Hades. Therefore, I am not surprised that Athena does not accept your ending - even if it is just giving up temporarily."

"You know Athena so well? Are you serious?" Lin You was skeptical.

The Ophiuchus Saint smiled proudly: "In my past and present lives, I have served more than one incarnation of Athena, not to mention that she is my greatest enemy." Lin You nodded to show his understanding, and then lowered his head to "ask" the baby girl in the cradle: "Do you really think so? If you object, just say so."

The goddess who had not been weaned was sleeping soundly, and only one new bubble came out.

"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent."

Lin You picked up the quill and asked Chronos, "What do you think? According to this line of thought, I must write a new ending that allows Athena to stay in the human world, and she will accept it. Do you agree?"

"The one who knows Athena best must be her enemy." Chronos glanced at Asclepius while speaking, "Write it!"

Lin You quickly reminded: "This is the last chance. If she still refuses to accept it, hurry up and send me back to the big world."

"Write now, you won't die!"

The tip of the quill slid through the air again.

"Because of Ophiuchus's crazy act of destroying the world, all gods, from the King of Gods Zeus on down, are terrified, fearing that outstanding warriors among humans will continue to rise and endanger the authority of the gods."

When he wrote this, Lin You's wrist paused unconsciously. Last time, after he finished writing this sentence, his pen was restrained and he couldn't write even a single stroke.

This time, he gently dragged the tip of the pen, and the golden ink flowed out without hindrance, depicting the following words.

"However, only Athena still vowed to stay with mankind forever. Although the holy clothes are sealed and the constellations are silent, the secrets of the microcosm are like fire that accompanies the goddess and flows through the world."

When the pen tip drew the last period, the last trace of golden ink was used up.

"Finally finished writing." Lin You breathed a sigh of relief. Although the words were not many, the twists and turns he had encountered before still put him under considerable pressure.

Putting down the quill, he raised his hands, ready to integrate the written words into the "history" of the Saint Seiya world.

Before that, the boy asked Chronos again: "Have you thought about it? Once this text is written, there will be two Athenas in the world at the same time. Have you thought about how to deal with the follow-up problems?"

Although the background of the Saint Seiya story is derived from the Olympus mythology, the two belong to two different story worlds. The Athena in the Saint Seiya world is an independent individual, not the Athena in the Olympus mythology world.

The mythological world of Olympus had long been integrated into the great world, and was one of the cornerstones of the great world. Therefore, at this moment, on the sacred mountain of Olympus in the great world, there was indeed an orthodox goddess of wisdom and war.

If Lin You follows Lin You's original idea and completely clears out the gods and warriors of the Saint Seiya world from the worldview and logic level, then it would be natural to hand over the spark of restarting the Saint Seiya world to the Olympian pantheon; at the same time, it would be equivalent to taking Olympian mythology as the main body, allowing the "mythological history" of the two worlds to naturally "merge".

But if we let the reincarnated Athena from the Saint Seiya world stay in the human world now, there will be two Athenas coexisting in the future merged world.

Although the Athena in the Saint Seiya world is still just a human baby girl and has not yet awakened her divinity; but in a dozen years at most, when her divinity is fully awakened, the coexistence of two Athenas will turn into a huge logical contradiction that will shake the stability of the world.

"That's something we'll have to think about later. Let's save this world first!" Chronos looked up at the Earth in the sky, "After all, you still have a quill in your hand. You can try to correct the logical contradiction later."

"As you wish!" Lin You had no objection. He pressed his hands downward and "pressed" the golden words into the ground.

A faint golden light swept in all directions.
