Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 168 Athena's Position
The conversation in the temple gradually came to an end.

"In fact, I have always had a question in my mind," Lin You said, "In the original storyline, Kratos was constantly betrayed and hurt by the Olympian gods for more than ten years, and finally he broke out with anger and determination to kill the gods. What is he fighting for now?"

"For his family." Athena replied, "I heard that Kratos' wife, daughter, and brother were taken away by Ares in the big world. I don't know how they plan to use these poor people, but I am sure that the reason Kratos decided to kill the gods must be because of his family."

"In addition to determination, we also need ability." Lin You asked again, "Did you also give Pandora's Box to Kratos?"

"You are very familiar with this world, Writer." Athena exclaimed.

Lin You had a nostalgic look on his face: "Not really, it's been too long, and I don't have it at home, I got it from a classmate."

"The humans in your real dimension are more unscrupulous than any gods. You dare to create such absurd and blasphemous stories based on the gods."

"If we don't create, then where do you come from?" Lin You disagreed. "Now I am also making a living in the virtual dimension, so we don't have to argue about these topics endlessly, right?"

Athena snorted, but had no intention of continuing the argument.

"It seems that I have to go to Mount Olympus. Before I leave, do you want me to help you get rid of Ares outside the city?" Lin You urged, "Since the conspiracy started with Ares murdering Kratos, tying him up in front of Kratos might bring us a surprise."

Athena casually glanced in the direction of the enemy outside the city, then smiled disdainfully: "Although Ares is arrogant and conceited, he is also cunning and suspicious. Since he has seen the failure of Poseidon, he will definitely not give us another chance. And you definitely don't have the time to accompany him in Athens."

"That's right. I have to rescue those gods before Kratos kills his way through Mount Olympus. At the very least, I have to rescue Zeus," the writer said with some distress.

Athena warned, "Then you must be careful. In order to collect the godhood of the Great World God in time, my relatives will definitely hide near the place where they are trapped. If you want to rescue Zeus, you will inevitably conflict with another Zeus."

"What about you? Where do you stand?" When asking this question, Lin You's eyes were not stern, but he stared at Athena's face.

The current situation in the God of War world is almost equivalent to the outbreak of a war between gods; since it is a war, the first problem is of course to distinguish between the enemy and us. Although Athena was previously besieged by Ares and Poseidon, it does not mean that She will definitely stand on the same side as the writer.

Athena also looked back at the writer and asked in a deep voice: "If I say that although I don't want to participate in the conspiracy, I don't want to fight against my relatives, will you regard me as an enemy? Just like Ares and Poseidon?"

"Whether it's an individual, an organization, or even a country, it's a naive idea to say it's either this or that," Lin You responded calmly. "So I don't think that way. However, if you don't participate, you won't be eligible to share the benefits when the finale comes. You should know that the finale I'm talking about is the one written by the quill pen in the future."

"When the gods of the big world cannot intervene, I don't know where you get such confidence; why do you think you can solve the problems of this world?" Athena questioned.

"I'm not sure if I can win, but if I can't guarantee a win, then I won't do it?" Lin You smiled brightly. "Of course, it would be a lie to say I have no confidence at all. My biggest confidence is that I can completely destroy the world if necessary, and no one can stop me."

Athena's expression changed drastically, and her relatively relaxed expression disappeared.

"It seems that Ares did not tell you the truth." A quill appeared in Lin Youkong's left hand. "The idea of ​​saving the world needs to be written carefully and meticulously, but the idea of ​​destroying the world can be achieved in a simple and crude way; especially since this world is already on the brink of destruction, as long as I want to do this, you won't even have time to save it." The temple fell into silence for a long time. The goddess of wisdom and war fully squeezed Her wisdom, and it took a long time before she made up her mind.

"I will hold Ares back and prevent him from leaving the battlefield and Athens." Athena said resolutely, "This is the only thing I can do."

The author knows that the so-called "the only thing that can be done" is actually just "the only thing that is willing to do." But this result is also acceptable.

"In that case, I'll take my leave. By the way, is there any difficulty in climbing Mount Olympus? Perhaps you know a shortcut?"

Athena shook her head and said, "In the past, you were divine and could easily climb to the top of the mountain. But now the entire mountain has been transformed into a magic circle, isolating it from outsiders' prying eyes and invasions. There are only two ways to climb the mountain. Either climb up, or try your luck in Olympia at the foot of the mountain."

"Oh, do you want me to learn from Kratos and fight my way up from the foot of the mountain?"

"You may not need to learn from Him, but be careful of Him. If Kratos is still on his path of killing gods, your final goal and your way forward may overlap; be careful not to get killed by Him." Athena said as if joking, not sure whether it was a reminder or a curse.

Lin You rolled his eyes, ignored the conversation, and turned to walk out of the hall.

When they got outside, Athena looked at the lonely Pegasus and called out to Lin You: "Maybe I can help you with another favor."

"What's the deal?"

Athena did not answer, but looked up and whistled towards the sky; soon, a familiar figure was seen flying from outside the city of Athens.

The same pair of wings on its sides, the same pure white fur; the difference is that this Pegasus is much larger than the three that Thor loaned out.

"Is this Pegasus?" Lin You asked tentatively.

There are not many Pegasus in Olympus mythology, and the only one related to Athena is Pegasus.

"You guessed right." Athena gently patted Pegasus' neck and stroked its soft mane. "After the time dilemma began in this world, I brought it back and kept it with me. Now I give it to you, hoping it will be helpful to you."

"Give it to me?" Lin You's eyes lit up. "Is it temporary or permanent?"

"I am quite sure that I said I was giving, not lending," Athena said. "No matter how things turn out, the world and I will have a new fate; when the time comes, I will not be able to take care of it anymore."
