Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 293 Mediator and Presiding Judge

"Who are you talking about?" Lin You paused abruptly with the quill in his hand. He turned to look at the man in the tall hat, the relaxed smile on his face gone.

"Ares, what's wrong? Isn't He the main god of Olympus?" Mr. Accountant obviously didn't understand what was going on. He seemed to be unaware of what happened in the virtual dimension, let alone the previous dispute between Mount Olympus and the Pantheon.

"When did you meet Him, what did He say, and what did He do?" Lin You simply stopped writing and asked attentively.

Mr. Accountant thought for a moment and said, "It was around the time when the Blackwater robbery happened. I was watching the change in Dutch van der Linde's fate when Mr. Ares suddenly appeared beside me. If He hadn't spoken, I wouldn't even have known He was here."

"and after?"

"Then he looked at me, stood beside me for a while, said 'It's too late', and turned away." The accountant said with some distress, "I didn't even have time to say hello. Now thinking about it, it was really rude."

Lin You hurriedly asked again: "Where did He go... I mean, where did He go?"

"Back to the big world, right?" the accountant asked curiously.

"So, He suddenly came and left without doing anything? Did you hear Him say anything other than 'It's too late'?"

"No." Mr. Accountant seemed to be thinking about something. He had figured it out. From Lin You's anxious expression, he knew that things were not simple. "What happened to Mr. Ares? What's wrong with him? Shouldn't he be here?"

"No, He can appear anywhere. The only problem is that there are many people in the big world, and even more gods are trying every means to find His whereabouts." Lin You said disappointedly, "Many things are waiting for Him to give everyone an explanation!"

The accountant suddenly realized: "So Mr. Ares is now a fugitive?"

"You can say that."

"Unfortunately, I didn't know that in advance." The accountant shrugged helplessly.

"It's a good thing you don't know." Lin You said casually, "I don't mean to offend you, but Mr. Ares is in extreme danger now; no matter what he wants to do, it is obviously not something you can stop."

"So what should we do next? Will you go back and capture Him?"

"That's not my job. And to be honest, I don't have the ability to stop Ares either." Lin You laughed at himself. "Next, I will complete the fusion work first, and then report the news to the gods of the big world."

Lin You said it easily, but in fact, he was inevitably confused after hearing the name "Ares", so that the originally smooth writing process became stumbling. Not only was he much slower than before when rewriting the geographical location, but his thinking was also greatly affected when he rewrote the origin of the accountant.

The work that could have been completed in a quarter of an hour ended up taking more than half an hour to complete.

The writer controlled his emotions and did not rush back to the Garden of Eden until he witnessed with his own eyes the successful completion of the fusion of the worlds.

"Did you hear everything? Ares appeared." Lin You couldn't wait to shout out as soon as he stepped through the portal.

Ares had personally gone to Forest Manor to win over the author; and in a series of subsequent changes, the author also rejected his attempts to win him over with practical actions, which to a certain extent accelerated Ares's defeat. Therefore, this escaped god of war can be regarded as the first public enemy of the author since he crossed the virtual dimension. More importantly, this enemy has been on the run for a long time, becoming a threat lurking in the dark.

"I heard it, and I also knew that Ares would soon disappear." Compared to the writer's rather impatient mood, God remained calm as usual. "After hearing the news, I immediately traced back the time of the story world of Red Dead Redemption, but I could not find any trace of Ares at all; He hid his own traces on the timeline."

"Can the God of War also control the timeline?" Lin You asked with dissatisfaction and surprise.

God explained: "He cannot control the timeline, but he can control himself. Especially when the story world itself is too weak and the power of the timeline is not strong enough."

"So He ran away again; even though we knew about Him, He still ran away from right under your nose?" Lin You was very angry.

"Ares is very cunning. He chooses relatively 'weak' worlds, where it is easier for him to manipulate time and space to hide his tracks. He also never stays in one world for too long, always leaving those who are chasing him empty-handed." God explained gently, and he knew exactly what the writer was worried about.
"But no matter what, He didn't dare to return to the big world. Because there are many eyes watching Him here. It would have been fine if they didn't pay attention to Him in the past, but now as soon as He shows up, He will be discovered immediately."

Lin You pouted his lips in dissatisfaction and helplessness, and asked: "Can I ask who is hunting Ares? It's been almost a year, why is there still no news?"

"Of course it's Athena. Who else can have the upper hand over Ares in terms of strength, and who is also full of motivation because of the deep hatred?" As if to comfort the writer, God's narration was patient and detailed, "Zeus even temporarily gave Hermes' flying shoes and Apollo's bow and arrow to Athena, just to increase the success rate of catching him."

"Speaking of Zeus, hasn't the quarrel between him and Jupiter come to an end yet? If it doesn't work, wouldn't it be better to let the two gods fight each other? It will save everyone's time and energy." Lin You tempted with ill intentions.

"That won't do. Olympus has accepted many members of the Pantheon. Although it has strengthened its own strength, it has also caused more ties between the two sides. Unless it is irreversible, no one dares to take extreme measures openly. Chronos has even reached an agreement with Janus that the two of them will guarantee their cooperation on the Great World Plan, and the specific disputes will be left to Jupiter and Zeus to deal with. No matter what the result is, the two of them are not allowed to interfere."

Lin You found it funny: "Isn't that just the two existing supreme gods of the pantheon exchanging their children with each other?"

"That's about it." God's calm voice seemed to hide a lot of emotions; it could be helplessness, or it could be resentment.

The dispute between Olympus and the Pantheon has delayed too many things.

"The longer this kind of thing is delayed, the harder it will be to handle. It will continue to undermine the trust foundation of the gods' cooperation, and then undermine the big world plan." Lin You reminded in time.

"We are all trying to find a way to calm Zeus's anger and put an end to the fight between the two pantheons."

"Is it possible to calm down the anger?" Lin You sneered, "Mount Olympus lost half of its main gods at once."

"But everyone has guessed that Zeus allowed this result. So when Olympus held the Pantheon accountable, many gods did not support them." God did not reveal his inclination, but Lin You could hear that the other party was not completely on the side of Zeus - even though the Olympian gods were the real victims on the surface.

"Perhaps, what you need is not a mediator, but a referee, or even a presiding judge."

Lin You had been waiting for this sentence for a long time and finally had the chance to say it.
