"Campione, the snake in your hand is the property of the Concubine. May I trouble you to return it to me?"
The owl's beak didn't move.
Yet a young girl's voice came from it.
Paired with a nocturnal creature speaking human words, the scene carried an eerie atmosphere.
If it were a normal person, they would probably already be screaming and fleeing.
However, there were no normal people present.
Instead, there were two girls with exceptional Spirit Vision.
"This aura... is it an Heretic God?"
Drawing her knight's sword, the silver-haired knight stepped to Hiro's left, tension flickering in her eyes as she fixed her gaze on the owl on the wooden floor.
"It seems that can only be the case."
Almost at the same time, Erica appeared on his right, longsword in hand, taking a stance as if facing a formidable enemy.
"..."
Looking at the two backs in front of him, Hiro fell silent for a moment.
Speechless.
"If it really is an Heretic God, what's the point of you two blocking me? Are you trying to feed yourselves to it?"
Reaching out, he pulled the two slender figures aside.
Then he stepped forward, picked up the owl from the hallway floor, and raised it to eye level.
The moment he did, Alice-who had been thrown aside by Erica and had hit her head against the tatami with a dull dong-finally pieced together the truth through the owl, the snake, the goddess, and her own Spirit Vision.
She steadied herself and spoke urgently.
"King! The true name of that goddess is Athena, the Virgin Goddess of War and Wisdom in Greek mythology!"
At her voice, both Hiro and the owl glanced at her.
One look was enough.
One was satisfied.
The other was surprised.
"Oh? What an excellent Reishi aptitude. To be able to see so much information through this body of mine."
From the owl's tightly closed beak came the young girl's voice of the Goddess Athena.
Do you think Alice's spirit sensitivity-capable of reaching the Hidden World-is a joke?
Hiro complained inwardly as he glanced at the owl in his hand.
He was very satisfied with Alice's ability and performance.
In this way, combined with Liliana, Mariya Yuri, Ena, and his [Youth] Blessing, he might be able to summon an Heretic God using four super-spec Miko Princesses.
If that still failed, Amaterasu ĹŚmikami was also nearby.
Perhaps she could be added to the attempt.
Of course, before trying anything, some preparatory work would still be needed for Liliana and Ena.
As for the girl named Yuri, before Amaterasu returned to myth, he didn't need to worry about her for now.
"To be able to discern Athena's true name, Alice. Well done."
Praising the golden-haired girl who was struggling to get up, Hiro turned his gaze back to the owl in his hand, a faint smile in his voice.
"However, you failed to notice that Athena, the goddess of war, and Medusa are actually a Three-in-One Goddess."
"Three-in-One?!"
Erica and Liliana, who had been pushed aside earlier, both exclaimed softly.
In truth, it wasn't just them.
Even Hiro himself wasn't completely convinced by what he had just said.
...Greek mythology in this world.
In his previous life on Earth, Greek mythology stated that Athena was born from Zeus's skull after he swallowed his wife, and that she aided Perseus in killing the Gorgon Medusa.
In the Campione worldview, Medusa was the guardian of her sisters, burdened with the fate of "being inevitably killed by a hero."
Her two sisters bore the fate of "becoming the wives of the hero who killed the Gorgon Medusa."
As a result, after killing countless heroes and enduring countless events, the finally desperate Medusa transformed into a Gorgon and devoured her beloved sisters.
As for the High School DxD world, he hadn't paid attention to it.
In the Little Garden world, the claim seemed to be that Athena was jealous of Medusa's beauty. She used poets to spread rumors continuously, weakening the Gorgon Medusa-one of the three problem children-then, after defeating her, claimed her, grotesquely uglified and slandered her, and finally sold her off.
In the end, Medusa became the image commonly depicted.
Of course, since he hadn't read the original novel in detail, Hiro couldn't be sure how accurate that information was.
The claim that Athena and Medusa were the same god in the Campione world completely contradicted the Campione worldview, his previous life, and the Little Garden world.
"You lack Reishi talent, yet you can see through the Concubine's essence at a glance. Is this also one of your Authorities, Campione?"
"No, no. That little bit of information isn't enough for me to use an Authority."
Staring directly into the owl's eyes, Hiro shook his head and replied with a light smile.
He was simply curious whether his [Eye of God's], beyond seeing true names, could go a step further and peer into the essence of an Heretic God-like the original male lead.
"Enough small talk, Campione. Are you willing to return the snake in your hand to the Concubine?"
Clutching the owl in his right hand, Hiro raised the round clay object in his left, shook it before the owl's eyes, and spoke with a bright smile.
"If you were Athena and Hera as a Two-in-One, I wouldn't mind giving this to you. But as you are now, you probably haven't reclaimed Hera's Divinity yet, have you?"
As this was merely an avatar or clone, the owl's head showed no Luck value.
So he couldn't tell Athena's Luck rank.
However, for the same existence, greater power meant higher Luck.
That point was somewhat supported by the case of Linto Tsurumi.
If he could obtain another Tier 7 Luck, another Star Map, a two-digit Divine Tier, or a Sun Sovereignty, it would be an enormous gain.
A mere Divine Tool was insignificant by comparison.
"If you truly want it, then come and kill me."
"And retrieve it from my corpse."
"..."
Retrieve it from your corpse.
That Campione had survived that attack.
Even now, she might not necessarily be his opponent.
In a distant overseas land, Athena fell silent.
She had also been one of the participants in the Mediterranean incident a few days ago.
Although she hadn't been directly affected, during the subsequent "compulsory spatial transfer," she had been forcibly assigned to Britain.
Later, when she arrived at the epicenter, discovering part of the truth left her stunned for a long time.
