Purple Night Melody

If you had a golden apple, who would you give it to?
Invited to the banquet, Luo En saw the golden apple in the plate inscribed with "To the fairest goddess" and the three goddesses embroiled in dispute before him, and he picked up a knife with a smug smile.
The first step, peeling; he gave the skin to Aphrodite.
"To be fair, you're quite pretty. As a layer of skin, you're not bad to look at."
The second step, slicing the flesh; he gave that to Hera.
"As the queen of heaven, yet everyone in Olympus from 800-year-olds to animals has cuckolded you, including males, females, and even sheep. Since you can't save face anyway, take these insides."
The third step, he gave the remaining core to Athena.
"You were supposed to be born a male god and take over Zeus's position, but due to Zeus's shenanigans, you lost that seed, so here, have this core."
Aphrodite clenched her fists, Hera raised her scepter, Athena summoned her spear and shield...
Seeing this, Luo En quickly stepped back, shielding the goddess of discord, Eris, firmly in front of him.
"And you still want to be the goddess of discord? Look at me; I got them to unite at once, even better than you with your instigation."
"..."
Surrounded by Greek gods sharpening their knives, Eris was left in silence.

The Greece Antagonist

In the Arcadia Palace, the atmosphere was exceptionally somber.


Lying on the bed, King Iasus's face was pale, his eyes flickered with traces of unwillingness, and he stubbornly inquired once more towards the figure draped in a star and moon robe, holding the Caduceus.


"Priest, is there really no other way?"


"Your Majesty, alchemy cannot create something out of nothing. To obtain what one desires, a corresponding price must be paid. And the only thing that can save a life—is another life..."


The low voice came from the black robe, as the mysterious Priest shook his head slightly, his face a picture of helplessness.


King Iasus bit his lip, his expression fluctuating.


"The campaign against the Magic Beasts will inevitably involve death, this is the path they have chosen themselves, and you need not be responsible for it. Furthermore, what we are doing is simply making this sacrifice a bit more worthwhile."
