Chapter 145: The Goddess's Confession, Two Moons Shine Together, and Chaos Begins!
Listening to Artemis's "confession" to him, Ethan had never expected this.
This Moon Goddess had snuck into his tent in the middle of the night just to give a one-sided "confession" to his "sleeping" self?
However, whether before or after transmigration, being confessed to by a girl was a first for Ethan.
Not only that, but she was a goddess.
A lofty being who stood above others had actually fallen for him like this?
To be honest, Ethan felt that it was somewhat unreal.
The two of them had not even gotten to know each other properly.
How did she know she had fallen for him?
In Ethan's view, this was probably more because of her beautiful longing for "romance."
She had never had it before.
Now that she seemed to have tasted a little sweetness, and with her time running out, she had done something like this under these circumstances.
A serious person would probably feel uncomfortable about it.
But Ethan would not.
A goddess had thrown herself into his arms.
What more could he possibly want?
"If Artemis wants to have a romance, then I think ten thousand years is a little too long. After all, for humans, a hundred years is already an entire lifetime."
"Huh?!"
Ethan's sudden words immediately startled Artemis.
She was so frightened that she even fell backward.
If this got out, probably no one would believe that the Goddess of the Hunt had been scared into falling over.
Snap—
Ethan turned over and reached out, grabbing Artemis's delicate jade-like hand.
Then he pulled with force and directly drew her into his arms.
The fragrance belonging to a goddess was once again captured clearly by Ethan.
"You… I… this…"
In Ethan's arms, Artemis propped herself up and looked at him.
She no longer knew what to say.
Originally, she had only wanted to leave herself with no regrets in the end.
But she also did not want to affect Ethan.
That was why she had chosen to come late at night.
Who could have expected that Ethan had not been asleep at all?
In other words, her "confession" just now had all been heard by him.
For a moment, the great Moon Goddess's beautiful cheeks heated up rapidly.
She was like a bright moon turning into a red moon in the sky.
Red clouds descended, and an ambiguous atmosphere began to spread.
"You weren't asleep?"
"I was originally asleep, but the goddess's heartfelt confession woke me up."
Even Ethan felt that the sweet words he had just said were a little too much.
However, to Artemis, who had never experienced these things, this was proof of Ethan's love for her.
She believed those sweet words.
However, after being moved, Artemis also became somewhat conflicted.
Being able to experience the beauty of "love" at the final moment naturally made Artemis very happy.
However, afterward came worry.
Under these circumstances, what would Ethan do after learning the "truth"?
Would he still be able to shoulder the responsibility of saving the world?
Even if he did, personally killing the person he loved would be too cruel for him, wouldn't it?
For a moment, Artemis truly began acting like a woman.
Her love-struck thoughts started to burst out.
"Ethan, calm down. That's not what I meant."
"Not what you meant? Then what did you mean?"
At this moment, Artemis, who was held in Ethan's arms, seemed to have lost all strength.
She could not "break free" from Ethan's hold at all.
"You have to calm down. There is still a mission tomorrow!"
"A mission? What mission could be more important than you, Artemis?"
"You are my 'Orion' now. And deep within the ruins not far from here, there is an ancient monster from the distant past. If it is not subjugated, it will definitely cause a disaster."
"I know that. Hermes told me about it. But don't worry, I'll defeat it."
Ethan still had confidence in subjugating Antares.
After all, his entire body was covered in "cheats" right now.
If he still could not win like this, he might as well buy a block of tofu and smash himself to death with it.
"…"
Artemis wanted to tell Ethan the truth.
However, she was afraid that Ethan would become angry because of it.
In the end, she swallowed those words back down.
If possible, she really did not want to tell him this cruel truth.
The later he found out, even if only by one minute, the better.
And right now, she was also somewhat immersed in this beautiful "romance."
Buzz—
Just as the atmosphere began to grow ambiguous, as if it were about to enter the next stage, Orion's Arrow, which had been placed to the side, suddenly let out a soft sound.
A wave of white moonlight rose.
Divine script appeared on Orion's Arrow, and it floated into the air.
"Not good!"
Seeing this, Artemis's pupils shrank.
Then she broke free from Ethan's embrace and quickly ran out of the tent.
She raised her head and looked into the sky.
In the dark night sky, two crescent moons hung high above.
Yes, you were not mistaken.
There were two crescent moons.
Ethan also followed closely behind.
After coming out, he followed Artemis's gaze and looked toward the sky.
Two moons shining together.
A scene like this was definitely not normal.
In the sky, the scene began to draw closer.
The crescent moon that looked no different from the real moon was actually made of densely packed magic circles.
They were like countless "points" that had gathered together to form a "surface."
This was Artemis's power.
The divine power of the Moon Goddess.
"It's already starting? Damn it!"
Hermes, who had been secretly making arrangements all along, appeared.
Looking at the crescent moon in the sky, his expression became extremely ugly.
Had the other party devoured Artemis's power that quickly?
How long had it been?
Antares had already gained control of Artemis's divine power and was already preparing to unleash a destructive attack upon this continent?
…
"Hermes, did you not make it in time?"
Orario, Ganesha Familia headquarters.
The main god Ganesha looked at the crescent moon in the sky, his expression changing slightly as his mood became heavy.
This was Artemis's arrow.
With one strike, it was enough to destroy the entire continent.
"That is Artemis's divine power. Has it already begun? A crisis of world destruction. Ethan, you who have received my favor and possess 'heroic potential,' will surely overcome countless difficulties and forge your own 'great deed,' won't you?"
Above Tower of Babel, Freya stood at the highest point of Orario and watched the crescent moon as well.
Not only that, but along with the "two moons shining together," the Dungeon also began to tremble.
If that arrow fell, then the Dungeon might also be destroyed because of it.
Naturally, the Dungeon could not simply sit back and wait for death.
Just like that, the Dungeon went berserk.
Large numbers of monsters were rapidly born, then continuously surged toward the surface.
This night was destined to be anything but peaceful.
Whether in Orario or the Great Tree Sea.
