Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 198 The Difference Between Fanfiction Writers and Writers
"That's why I'm a step late." The divine power in Athena's palm exuded a special light, five parts clear and five parts majestic; "I deliberately took a detour to Athens and retrieved my divine power from the ruins."

Lin You took a closer look and commented calmly, "It looks a bit damaged. It should not be complete, right?"

"The power of the Great World Sea God is not something I can contend with. I have tried my best to preserve most of the core power." Athena explained lightly, sounding as if she didn't care. "Are you unwilling to accept this bargaining chip?"

"What do I need it for?" Lin Youyan said insincerely, "I have no intention of joining the Olympian pantheon, and I don't have any talent for wisdom or war."

"You are certainly not the god of wisdom and war, but your sister is." Athena said, "In order to win our support, Ares of the Great World revealed a lot of information, including information about you, the author. We are mostly inclined to believe that you will remain neutral. In addition to your identity as the author, another key factor is your sister."

Lin You sneered: "You really like to take things for granted."

"Yes, and later events also proved that both my father and Ares of the big world were too self-righteous. All their speculations and deductions about you were nothing but wishful thinking." Athena judged her former relatives and allies mercilessly.

"Then why are you still using this divine power to negotiate with me?" Lin You had a fake smile on his face, making it difficult to tell what he was really thinking.

Athena's stone-like face rarely showed a smile: "Whether the bargaining chips are useful depends on whether the offer is appropriate. My offer is very fair, not as whimsical as theirs - what do you think?"

"Compared to Ares, anyone's offer will seem fair." Lin You did not comment.

The divinity of the goddess of wisdom and war is indeed useless to Lin You, but it is different for Minerva. Especially when the world of the god of war is integrated into the big world, the divinity of all the gods in this branch will be recognized by the big world.

For Minerva, once this godhead is merged or devoured, it will not only speed up His awakening in the future, but also strengthen His power after awakening.

Haven't you seen that even before Zeus and Poseidon went to war, they rushed to swallow up their own original godheads? For these two true gods, the godheads of the God of War world are a power supplement that cannot be ignored, let alone a little girl from the Saint Seiya world?

After much deliberation, Lin You finally decided to make a deal; but he also made a request: "I can't directly write your ending and future, I can only let nature take its course and let you maintain the special state given by the game plot. As for whether the future development is good or bad, it's up to you, I'm not responsible. If you agree, I will take this godhood."

Lin You stared at Athena's face until she nodded, then he reached out and took away the divine power and put it into the dimensional space.

Athena did a somersault and landed on the Titan's head. In mid-air, she suddenly stretched out her hand, and a large sword with a blue divine light flew out from nowhere and landed in her palm.

There seemed to be some strange connection between the greatsword and the Titan giant. As soon as the azure divine light appeared, a roar like muffled thunder sounded from the mountainside and rolled towards the top of the mountain.

The mixed emotions of anger and fear in the roar could be felt across half a mountain.

"The Sword of Olympus, the holy sword forged by Zeus specifically for slaying Titans." Lin You seemed to be talking to himself, or explaining to Kratos who was standing beside him; at the same time, he attached more importance to Athena, who did not want to be the goddess of wisdom and war anymore.

It can be seen that the other party made a lot of preparations before coming to Mount Olympus; not only did he regain his own godhood, but he also found this sword that was originally unnecessary.

A new battlefield soon opened up on the mountainside. Athena, who was basically only talking but not fighting in the game, although she kept saying that she didn't want to be the goddess of wisdom and war anymore, her fighting skills were no less than Kratos's; and as a dead soul, she was protected from physical damage, so she quickly gained the upper hand.

Soon the first Titan fell from the mountainside, followed by the second and third; no one knew how hard Athena hit him, and whether the other party was dead or injured.

"Is this how you gods work?" Kratos's rough voice sounded in his ears, "The fate of others is just a deal you make with a few words?"

Lin You was originally overlooking the battle on the mountainside. When he heard this, he turned around and looked at Kratos. He saw that the former Spartan warrior was full of grief and anger, and there was a hint of manic ferocity in his eyes. It was obvious that what he had seen and heard during the past period of time had a great impact on him.

"As far as my current status is concerned, I am not a god yet. At most, I am just a human with divine qualities, which is similar to your current situation. It's just that because I have a special responsibility, the gods are particularly polite to me. I wonder if this will make you feel better?"

Kratos showed a bit of struggle on his face, and after a long while he asked: "I just heard a lot from you guys, it seems that your duty can rewrite the fate of the gods?"

Lin You nodded, then shook his head.

"That's the theory, but most of the time, gods are unwilling to accept fate rewritten by others. So, this duty is rarely fulfilled."

"Since we can rewrite the fate of God, what about humans? Can humans' fate be rewritten?" Kratos' voice suddenly became hurried.

Lin You saw strong hope in the other person's eyes.

Obviously, Kratos did not fully understand the conversation between Lin You and Athena, nor did he understand the job responsibilities of the writer and the limitations of the quill pen; he just extracted the information he wanted to hear most and needed most from the long and meaningless conversation.

"I know what you want to ask, Kratos. I can answer you directly, I can't resurrect your wife and daughter; because that will bring serious consequences."

Lin You didn't intend to give the other party any hope, because rewriting a happy ending for the story characters is the hobby of fan fiction writers, not the job of the writer. What he has to do is to ensure that this story is smoothly integrated into the big world, and the first thing to do is to try to maintain the structure of the story itself.

Due to a rebellious conspiracy, the Olympus branch of the God of War world was almost wiped out, and the story structure has been severely damaged; at this time, Lin You does not want to add fuel to the fire.

Things are already like this in Olympus, so there must not be any more problems in the Nine Realms!

Kratos must leave Olympus and go to the Nine Realms to marry the giantess and give birth to Atreus; only in this way can the reasonable development of the second half of the story be guaranteed.

You can't deprive your son of the chance to be born just to resurrect your original wife and daughter, right?

　As the year draws to a close, I have a lot to do, so the update schedule and quantity may not be able to remain stable. Please forgive me, fellow book lovers.
