The Greece Antagonist

A surge of warmth containing vibrant vitality flowed into her body, and Thetis awakened from unconsciousness. Looking at the familiar figure before her, a flood of emotions welled up, and she murmured.

"Luo En..."

She had nearly traversed the entire Sea of Okeanos, praying to the pantheon of gods, only for him to come to her aid.

"Don't talk if you're hurt, just rest."

Luo En soothed in a gentle voice, his hand on Thetis's back continuously infusing her with divine power to stabilize her wounds and expel another force that had invaded her body.

Feeling that comforting warmth, Thetis's tense nerves completely relaxed, like a bird with a broken wing finding its nest, she willingly coiled herself into that sheltered haven.

"Splash!"

Meanwhile, the sea burst into sprays of water, breaking the brief tenderness between the two.

A drenched and awkward figure burst out of the water, throwing an angry glare at the two figures embracing in front of him.

"Damn it, what are you doing? She's mine! Get your filthy hands off her!"

As the roar sounded, Luo En, without even looking, pressed his hand backward against the oncoming figure.

Suddenly, a blue Monoceros leaped out from behind him, directly slamming the other back into the sea.

Peirithous surfaced for less than ten seconds before he was once again subjected to the crushing pressure of the deep sea and the suffocation of oxygen deprivation.

A hint of worry flickered in Thetis's eyes, and she pursed her lips. Leaning close to Luo En's ear, she reminded him in a low voice.

"His name is Peirithous, the grandson of Father God Zeus. This time, by Zeus's decree, he came to force me into union with him to fulfill a destiny."

Prometheus had told Zeus that if he married Thetis, she would give birth to someone stronger than the father, and the cautious and suspicious Divine King did not wish to create a dangerous rival. Even though he coveted Thetis's beauty, he had refrained from laying a hand on her.

Today, it seemed Zeus had decided to eliminate that threat through the hand of his grandson, Peirithous.

After all, as long as the Father's limits were locked, even if Thetis's child did fulfill the prophecy, no matter how powerful, he could not threaten his position.

And Peirithous himself, both in terms of ability and accomplishments, was barely noteworthy in the annals of mythology.

Luo En frowned upon hearing this.

"The son of the Netherworld Judge Aeacus? The one from the island of Aegina?"

Thetis nodded, her face a portrait of helplessness.

By that count, Peirithous's father, Aeacus, was her brother-in-law, just like the Sea King, Poseidon.

Years ago, Zeus transformed into the Divine Eagle, abducted the Nymph Aegina, and took her to a desolate island where he forcefully married her and later fathered Aeacus.

Aeacus's wife was the daughter of the centaur sage Chiron, named Endeïs, and they had two sons, Telamon and Peirithous. Later, Aeacus became infatuated with Nereus's daughter Psamathe. To escape his pursuit, she transformed into a seal, but cannot deceive Aeacus. The son of Zeus, after some chasing, eventually won over Psamathe and had a child with her – Phocus, the eponym of the city of Phocis.

Thus, Thetis's family grew by one more relative.

However, as Aeacus's three children grew up, Telamon and Peirithous became extremely jealous of their half-brother Phocus and deliberately killed him during a discus throw. Upon learning this, Aeacus was enraged and banished Telamon and Peirithous from the island of Aegina, severing ties with his rebellious sons.

Since then, Peirithous had been wandering outside, failing to make much of a name for himself, and even fell short of his brother Telamon.

Recently, Zeus had recalled him from obscurity; thus, by luck, he carried with him the prophecy of "Destiny" and pursued Thetis in the Sea of Okeanos in a glorious manner.

With the tragic death of her nephew, naturally, Thetis harbored no favorable impression of Peirithous and tried her best to avoid his pursuit.

But like his father and forefathers, Peirithous, when his wooing failed, resorted to threats and even brought out divinely gifted weapons, attempting to employ force to achieve his goal.

Luo En looked at Thetis's shoulder, still bearing traces of blood, and his eyes darkened.

"Did he shoot you?"

"I'm fine, let's get out of here first."

Thetis shook her head reassuringly and then spoke in a hushed tone.

"He's here for Poseidon..."

Upon hearing this, Luo En immediately grasped the significance of Thetis's words.

The timing couldn't be more suspicious, with Thetis being forcibly betrothed to Peirithous during such a period, and the suitor being a demigod hero with no remarkable presence who had also had conflicts with the Sea Gods.

Clearly, His Majesty the King of Gods was using this as an opportunity to send a message to the recently too buoyant Sea King.

If it were possible to draw Poseidon out and provoke him into making a mistake, all the better.

But as a seasoned solitary warrior, and with Thessaly's seven years of reformed life, Lord Bo's tolerance and restraint had long surpassed that of his past.

He had stayed hidden within the Sea God Temple, watching his aunt being humiliated without any intention of intervening.

In the end, it was Luo En who had stumbled into this vast net.

"Leave? No one is going to escape today!"

The cold, suppressed snort of disdain exploded underwater, and Peirithous, who had previously been rammed deep into the sea by the Great Whale, was now free from its weight, staring with humiliation at the dog and mistress above, lovingly embracing each other, as he desperately hurled his cross spear in their direction.
