Unreal world, Olympus.

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, shining on the mountains of the earth, as if it does not perceive another round of scorching sun rising underground. Zeus and the gods were still on the top of the mountain, enjoying the singing and dancing of the muses, while waiting for the 'new god who knew the height of the heavens and the earth'.

The gods don't care about the time, but not every god is interested in it. Like Athena, she found an early reason to leave there and returned to her palace on the sacred mountain.

Athena still has many doubts about this plausible world. It wasn't that she didn't want to learn more about those strange gods, but reality didn't allow her to stay there for long.

Because the goddess of wisdom, who became one with the other 'self', did not inherit the memories of her original body, every word she said could be perceived as unusual - or perhaps unnoticed, but as she was unsure how long this sudden change would last, she naturally chose the most cautious one.

Walking on the white jade steps, Athena quietly admired the new scenery of Olympus. Maybe it's because he's been a little bit late, or maybe it's because Hephaestus is a bit more skilled than the Cyclops. In short, along the peakless mountain range, the shrines look more majestic and magnificent.

There are even some more distinct styles, which are not like gods, but like gods have been influenced by mortals. They didn't feel anything about the beings who had been living here, but Athena felt it clearly.

God and man influence each other, even if they don't realize it...... Thinking silently, the goddess continued to walk forward.

Her destination was her library—and although she didn't know the layout of her palace, Athena believed she would have one.

As expected, she found her palace by the induction of divine power, and under the guidance of the maid with some doubts, she easily found her 'own' study in the complicated corridors.

……

Stomp ......

Stomp ......

Squeak –

"Is this it?"

The azure dress covered the figure of the 'girl' god, and a lilac belt was casually tied up on the slender waist. Athena reached open the door and surveyed the interior of the room.

A huge circular library with large rings and small rings, and layers of bookshelves inside and out. This was the first time Athena had seen so many creatures of knowledge, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but smile when she looked at this scene.

It doesn't matter if the world is true or not, there is one thing whose value will not change, and that is knowledge. And this is probably the place with the most knowledge in the world, and under the difference in the priesthood, even the collection of the god-king is far from being compared to it, if Zeus is really interested in them.

"Yes, Your Highness, this is your study."

The Nymph Fairy, who was standing beside her with a respectful salute, replied in a low voice.

She was a little puzzled, after all, this was the library in the goddess's own palace. But God's affairs are not questionable, and no matter why the other party wants her to lead the way, she has never raised any objections.

Among the Olympian gods, Athena is indeed the one with a decent personality, but no matter what, the other party is a god.

"Good."

Nodding, Athena came back to her senses. She tilted her head slightly, looked at the maid who was staring at the ground, and then moved her fingers slightly.

With a 'plop' sound, the Nymph fell to the ground. And the next moment, she was dragged up by an invisible force and placed on a small bed left by the goddess in the library.

She would probably sleep for a long time, until Athena had a complete grasp of the situation. Knowing nothing about herself, the goddess didn't want to cause any more accidents.

"Phew—now, it's time to see what the 'history' of this world is different from what I know."

With a sigh of relief, Athena stepped forward. The skirt dragged on the illuminated floor, and the goddess looked at the books that had been sorted and stored.

Some of them are related to a certain skill, some are biographies of gods and goddesses, or some are history books about kingdoms. But after looking around, Athena couldn't find a document that recorded the entire history of the world. She was a little surprised for a while, and then a little abrupt.

She almost forgot that books are written down by intelligent beings, and human beings need to record history to pass on to future generations, but the gods themselves are immortal beings. They don't need to record their past in books, because their own memories are history books.

Therefore, the gods do not keep a complete history, and mortals do not have the power and longevity of the gods, and they cannot write a history that spans the years.

"So...... Do I need to summarize it myself? ”

Furrowing her pretty brow, and then stretching out again, Athena looked at the books that recorded gods and men. The writers of these things were either believers in God or themselves, or scholars of the human kingdom, and there must have been some subjective judgment in what they recorded.

But as long as she sees enough and understands enough, Athena will be able to piece together the whole picture of real history bit by bit, like building blocks, and be able to understand what happened in the past in this world.

This is not destined to be a simple matter, but a huge and complex project, after all, it takes not only wisdom, but also enough time and experience to find the most true one among the contradictory different statements.

Thankfully, Athena wasn't without help, and she had other ways to speed up the process. So the maiden-like deity took from her waist a quaint scroll—the artifact that was supposed to bring her into her memory, but now led her to another world.

This is the only thing that the goddess has brought in, and other than that, whether it is the clothes on her body, or the [Spear of Victory] and [Shield of Aques], it is another thing that 'herself' already has.

Over the centuries, Athena has come to understand the power of the tome. It can not only read memories, or rather, the functions for memories, which are only minor ancillary to it. Its real ability is the retrieval of 'existence', the use of 'immutability', and the gateway to 'history'.

Memory is the summary and trace of the past, and it is the cognition of the past by life, so the exploration of memory is included in the function of this artifact. And now, with its power, Athena can easily collect the documents in the entire library, and then restore the most authentic scene of history from it.

This is much simpler, and artifacts related to [history] can naturally be easily judged to be true or false...... Standing in the palace, the goddess slowly untied the scroll.

The frenulum fell to the ground, and the artifact began to glow slightly. But Athena was not in a hurry to use it, she just stared at the natural creation for a moment, and then spoke softly at a certain moment:

"It's been a long time since we last saw each other, and I didn't expect to see you here again...... It's a bit rude to say, I didn't have time to ask last time, I don't know what your Excellency should be called? ”

The transformation of the world comes from the reading of memories, and all of this artifact is manipulated. If this may have been an accident, the phantom seen before confirmed that everything must be related to that mysterious existence.

Athena wanted to know more about how she was going to get out of this place than she was about learning about the history of this world. And the most important thing is to communicate with the people who caused all this.

And the other party did give a signal before...... Thinking of this, Athena's expression became a little more determined.

“……”

"Hum—"

The voice fell, and there was no reaction at first. But after a while, the scroll, which symbolized being held by the goddess, suddenly trembled slightly.

Athena let go of her hand, and then right in front of her, the tome slowly opened. On its blank title page, an ink mark emerged.

"It was an accident, and before today, I didn't expect your memory to turn out like this."

"But I'll end this, as far as I call ......"

There was a pause, as if the being behind it was thinking about what to call itself. After a few moments, the ink marks continued, and a line of small print appeared on it.

"Compared to many creatures in this world, I was born different. So if you need a salutation......"

"Then call me 'Yahweh.'"

The handwriting appears and disappears, as if nothing had happened. But when the owner of the handwriting himself acknowledges the 'name', it is recorded in the 'heart' of the world in addition to the goddess.

The name of the Spirit Lord itself has some unknowable quality, but the effect of this nickname is weakened. This is true both for the gods and for the world.

Note: Yahweh is a Hebrew transliteration.

……

In the library, everything is as it has been.

The candle flame flickered slightly, shining on Athena's fair cheeks. The light and darkness seemed to reflect her mood, and it was also a little elusive.

"Own and always have ......"

Silently crossing this title in her heart, Athena didn't know what to say for a while.

Using a transliteration of an adjective as one's own name is not a very unique practice, and even on the contrary, it is a very appropriate name for the current era.

Just like Athena's nickname, Tritogna, means "the third child of Zeus born after Apollo and Artemis". Of course, in this changed world, the order in which they were born also changed, so it was only in this illusory world that Athena heard someone call herself that way for the first time.

In addition, another name like Zeus, which is often used to disguise himself in front of mortal princesses and queens, is also an intuitive expression of 'son of Cronus'.

So I have to say that the god-king used such a pseudonym openly and never found out, and I don't know if Zeus secretly exerted his influence, or the queens and princesses of the Kaos world are really not so smart.

In short, it was a very reasonable alternative and was widely spread among the gods. Having said that, in fact, the word 'descriptive' is not something that can be used casually.

The names of the gods are given by the world, and they often have some special powers and strong connections with the gods, and if they want to have the same deep connection with themselves, they must be 'real' enough.

In this case, the goddess of beauty cannot even call herself 'the most beautiful person in the world', because the concept is tied to her priesthood and the name 'Aphrodite'. If the influence of the priesthood is excluded, it is debatable whether she is the 'most beautiful' or not.

In addition to being 'authentic' enough, this nickname often has a slight hint of the noble status of the name owner. Just like Zeus and Athena, whether they want it or not, the greatest source of their status is not only the authority given by the world, but also the status of their father's god-king.

Therefore, from the former, since this mysterious being dares to use such a self-title, it means that he is really 'self-existent' and 'eternal', as he says. The world has endowed the gods with authority and power, but he was born with them; The world can deprive the gods of their divine rights, but his eternity is always there. Athena didn't know if the primordial gods were like this, but even if there was an example of Gaia, it would definitely not be that every one of them had such abilities.

And from the latter point of view, such an existence beyond the gods naturally does not need to use others to prove his dignity, because he himself is the source of everything.

"Rude Your Excellency."

With a shallow smile, Athena bowed slightly.

There was some shock in her heart, but more of caution. No one would be unwarranted to give kindness to a strange being, and if there is, there must be some purpose

"It doesn't matter."

"What you were born with, Ben can't prove anything, let's talk about you."

The ink marks appeared and disappeared, much faster than before. Athena's heart moved slightly, perhaps the owner behind the handwriting was not idle, he was doing something, and now he finally had a little free.

"It's a false world, but it contains a relatively 'real' fate. But now, all of this has been swept into the pile of old papers, and it is no longer possible. ”

"So, about the way out of here...... What do you want me to do? ”

Still smiling, the bright-eyed goddess asked easily.

"It's not difficult to get out of here, it's what matters here...... I've been thinking about this before, and your actions are a wake-up call. ”

"This world is 'fake', but its original trajectory is 'true', which means that its existence is a real 'history' that should have been realized and recognized by Kaos himself, just as its trajectory is still a 'destined fate' recognized by Kaos himself."

The handwriting paused again, and then resurfaced one by one. Only this time, there seems to be a hint of inexplicable meaning between the ink strokes.

"I will destroy the world, Athena, not long after."

"The mountain will fall apart, and the world will be left without ...... And what you need to do is to use this artifact as a medium to use this 'non-existent' history to achieve the birth of the [History Book of Years]. ”
