"You... know me?"
The little girl looked at him in surprise.
Then, upon seeing him, countless memories suddenly flooded her mind, making her squint her eyes.
These memories unmistakably came from another timeline.
The young, newly born Medusa widened her eyes at him: "Nameless! You actually came to find me!"
She had once been summoned to another timeline, had devoured her two sisters, had transformed into the Demonic Beast Goddess and slaughtered countless lives—yet he had redeemed her from it all.
He was her great hero!
Medusa scurried forward on tiny feet, eager to embrace him.
But then.
She suddenly felt her body lift uncontrollably, floating backwards.
Her two sisters had arrived, eyeing Nameless warily: "Have you been bewitched by the gods again, seeking to kill our sister?"
"No, I won't harm her."
Nameless sighed softly.
Then, he called out into the void: "Doctor, project it for us."
"Got it!"
With great effort, Dr. Roman managed to activate the projection, replaying the events of Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia exactly as they had happened for the two goddesses.
In the recorded footage.
Medusa, corrupted by boundless malice, abandoned her reason, devoured her sisters, and became the Demonic Beast Goddess.
She descended upon Uruk at the end of the Age of Gods, intent on consuming all of humanity.
Yet, her rational self had also been summoned, wandering the land alone.
Finally, guided by the Flower Magus Merlin, she began traveling with Nameless and the others.
The two elder sisters watched the footage, realizing with absolute clarity that this was unaltered—it was all destined to happen in the future.
"Sister..."
Their expressions turned complicated as they looked at Nameless.
They had been born as monsters, practically immortal deities.
Yet.
The fate the gods had ordained for them was to be defiled and slain by heroes.
Countless heroes had attacked them relentlessly, ultimately driving Medusa to corruption, transforming her into the Demonic Beast Goddess, Gorgon.
Stheno and Euryale willingly allowed their younger sister to kill and consume them.
Since death was inevitable either way, why not seek revenge?
The two sisters exchanged a glance and smiled. "So, you want to change the fate of us three sisters?"
"Yes."
Nameless nodded.
Then, this Master from another time and space, under the gaze of the two elder sisters, suddenly stepped forward and scooped Ana into his arms.
"Eh? Eh?"
A blush spread across Ana's small face as she struggled briefly with her tiny hands and feet before quickly giving up.
Holding her, Nameless walked to the seashore. "Lord of the Sea, I have completed the trial."
The ocean churned violently.
The ruler of the seas, riding his chariot, reappeared before everyone's eyes.
With a light wave of his trident, he declared, "As you wish! By the name of I, Poseidon, God of the Seas, I bless you as the Child of the Ocean and Storms!"
The audience was stunned for a moment before erupting in exclamations—
-[Damn, it's really true—he already completed it before!]
-[Right! Poseidon's trial was to slay the Beast Goddess who would bring calamity to the world, but Nameless already killed her in Uruk and restored her reason!]
-[This move is next-level! The seeds he planted earlier are bearing fruit now!]
-[Ugh, being able to time-travel is just unfair. If I get hit by a truck now, can I time-travel too?]
-[You'd just end up meeting Ereshkigal, not time-travel—damn it, now I want to find a truck driver too!]
Under the gaze of everyone.
Nameless made a request to the imposing and formidable Sea God. "Lord Poseidon, can you rewrite the fate of these three sisters?"
"If you can complete the final Twelve Labors, I shall shroud this place in eternal mist and storms!" the Sea God replied.
He was the ruler of the seas.
Ensuring that no one could ever set foot on this island again would be child's play for him.
"Deal!"
Nameless agreed with a nod.
He gently set down the small, soft, and fragrant Ana, speaking tenderly, "Once I complete the Twelve Labors, you will be completely free from the threats of heroes!"
"But you'll be in danger!"
Ana reached out to grab his sleeve, looking up at him with eyes full of worry.
"Don't worry. I bear the fate of one who must save the world—I won't stop here." Nameless gently patted her little head.
Then, he waved goodbye to the three sisters and set off for another trial.
With the Sea God's assistance, Nameless and Mash rode the waves away from the island.
Stheno and Euryale exchanged glances, teasing their younger sister with mischievous looks. "My adorable little sister, you mustn't fall for him, okay?"
"Eh? Why?" Ana blinked at them in confusion.
Stheno sighed and shook her head. "Don't forget, we're still under the gods' curse. If we lose our chastity, we'll die!"
The Sea God had only promised to surround the island with storms and mist, barring all heroes from entering.
But he couldn't lift the curse.
"Seems like there's still a way, though."
Euryale suddenly grinned mischievously and giggled. "For example... taking the back door?"
The little loli looked utterly bewildered.
The other goddess couldn't help but give Euryale a light punch.
All the spectators instantly erupted in chaos.
They were consumed by envy and resentment.
It couldn't be helped—the two elder sisters were the embodiment of male fantasies, fallen goddesses born from the concepts of the "perfect idol" and the "ideal dream girlfriend."
They perfectly matched the limits of human imagination when it came to beauty!
Truly, Nameless had done it again—achieving the impossible by winning over all three Gorgon sisters!
Watching the video, Rin couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "This guy... is seriously terrifying!"
As expected of a Grand-level beauty, even the Gorgon sisters couldn't resist him.
But, when you thought about it, it made sense.
All the other heroes had gone mad with desire for the Gorgon sisters—only Nameless sought to free them from their curse.
A true hero who brought hope and light!
Just then, the video shifted, revealing another goddess standing before Nameless.
She had porcelain-white skin, golden hair that shimmered like sunlight, and deep blue eyes.
Barefoot, she stood upon the waves.
A sheer veil draped over her flawless, curvaceous figure, unveiled for all to see.
At the mere sight of her, everyone was instantly reminded of sweet, intoxicating romance.
Needless to say, this goddess was none other than the Goddess of Love—
Aphrodite!
One of the most beautiful deities in existence.
Once pursued relentlessly by Zeus, only to be rejected.
In his fury, Zeus married her off to the ugly, lame god of fire and forging—Hephaestus.
In return, Aphrodite showed no mercy, driving Hera to punish Zeus' descendants and lovers with madness.
In the conference room of minds, Ishtar's eyes widened as she saw the Goddess of Love. "Damn it, she actually shares the same divine authority as me!"
Indeed, as a Mesopotamian goddess, she too held the authorities of [Love] and [Beauty].
Now, the two had clashed.
Ishtar smirked smugly. "But at least I still have the authority of War! Unlike this Goddess of Love, who can't even control her own marriage—how pitiful!"
"But you were also called a monkey by Nameless," Ereshkigal replied with utter calm.
When the sisters first met Nameless, the younger sister had once wanted Nameless to confess his love to her, only to be called the Monkey King on the spot, with Nameless declaring it utterly impossible to be in a relationship with her.
Add to that the later Singularity incident where she lost the Bull of Heaven and was ordered by the King of Heroes to hold up a clay tablet inscribed with [I am a useless goddess], earning her the enduring online nickname of "Useless Goddess."
This was in stark contrast to Ereshkigal's affectionate title of "Little Angel."
"Argh, damn you, Nameless! One day, I'll make him bow completely to my charm!" Ishtar couldn't help but gnash her teeth.
In the video, the breathtakingly beautiful Goddess of Love smiled and said, "Master from another time and space, the trial I set for you is—to defeat Atalanta in a footrace!"
"...Alright!"
Nameless stared at her intently but ultimately nodded in agreement.
The huntress Atalanta was renowned in myth for three great feats.
The first was slaying the Calydonian Boar.
The second was joining the crew of the Argo.
And the third was the goddess's task—a marriage contest—no, a footrace for marriage.
Only those who could outrun her would be worthy of marrying her.
Ignoring the audience's mounting anxiety—
-[The stock market is open! My Tama-neko is going all in!]
-[Place your bets! Let's see if Atalanta can hit a home run!]
-[The Goddess of Love's trial is clearly 'the dagger hidden in the dance'—ostensibly for Nameless, but actually a jab at the Moon Goddess!]
-[Exactly! If Nameless wins the trial, he'll have to marry Tama-neko, completely violating her lifelong vow of chastity to the Moon Goddess!]
Under the gaze of the crowd—some delighted, others worried—an unbearably cute catgirl appeared on screen.
This appearance instantly made her the most eye-catching figure in the entire Olympus Gods video series, winning her countless fans who affectionately dubbed her "Tama-neko."
A wild and untamed catgirl!
Her father, the king, glared at her coldly. "Atalanta, as my daughter, you must marry a mighty hero. No more of this willfulness!"
"When you abandoned me at birth, did you ever think of me as your daughter?"
Atalanta glared at him furiously.
She had been cast aside the moment she was born, all because he wanted a son.
Now, after hunting the Calydonian Boar with Nameless, joining the Argo, and achieving great feats, he had the shameless audacity to come crawling back, claiming kinship.
A father who cared only for profit, utterly indifferent to her happiness or sorrow—what a bastard!
"That's all in the past. Tomorrow, a great hero, Melanion, will arrive. I expect you to behave!" The king turned and left with a cold expression.
That man was the prince of a neighboring kingdom, far wealthier than his own, bringing cartloads of treasure.
Marrying off a daughter he'd discarded and reclaimed for such wealth and military support? A steal!
The king's vile demeanor disgusted countless viewers—who knew such people existed?
What a tragedy to be his daughter!
"What a bastard!" Rin couldn't help but sneer.
Ereshkigal nodded. "Indeed."
"Even I look down on him. If you want wealth, go earn it yourself! Why sell your daughter?" Ishtar also curled her lip in disdain.
As the goddess most devoted to wealth and gems, she earned every bit of it through her own strength!
For instance, driving away monsters that harassed the people and collecting gems as payment.
Just then.
Nameless arrived.
Leaping in through the window, he greeted softly under the huntress's delighted gaze, "Long time no see, Cat."
"What brings you here?"
Atalanta nearly stepped forward.
But after glancing at the quiet shield maiden standing beside him, she stopped in her tracks.
Yet, the upward curl of her lips betrayed her true feelings.
Nameless replied with complete honesty, "Aphrodite's trial requires me to defeat you in a race."
"Hmph, so you didn't come just to see me!"
Atalanta's gaze sharpened instantly. "The rule I set is that whoever defeats me in a race must marry me. What do you intend to do?"
"Do you want to get married?" Nameless asked.
"Impossible! I swore to Artemis that I would never marry anyone!"
Atalanta answered without hesitation.
Then she froze, staring blankly at him.
Oh, Lady Artemis… if this guy were to propose to me, what should I do?
Nameless smiled. "Then it's simple. If I win, you just have to agree to one condition of mine!"
"Hmph, you can't possibly beat me!"
Atalanta lifted her chin proudly.
Countless onlookers couldn't bear to watch.
Comments like [Won the game but lost at life], [Tsundere], [Ash Ketchum approves] flooded the scene.
Why reject marriage when it was right there? Such stubborn pride!
The scene shifted.
The race finally began.
Another contestant, Melanion, stared dumbfounded at the two. "I was here first—why are you allowed to compete too?"
Earlier, to win over this utterly adorable huntress, he had amassed a fortune to bribe the king.
He even sought Aphrodite's help.
With three golden apples, victory was supposed to be guaranteed.
But then this uninvited guest showed up!
"Don't worry, we're practically colleagues!"
Nameless patted his shoulder amiably.
Atalanta added coldly, "If you don't want to compete, then don't!"
"Fine! Then all three of us will race!"
Melanion gritted his teeth.
No problem, he had the golden apple from the Goddess of Love—the advantage was his!
He gave a heads-up first: "Uh, can I throw...?"
The initial race rules were about running at full speed, with no mention of throwing golden apples, so he had to clarify to avoid being accused of cheating.
Nameless smiled. "How about this? Let's turn it into an item race where we can throw things to hinder each other?"
"Ah, sure, I agree!"
Melanion nodded instantly.
This guy was such a good person—exactly what he wanted!
Victory was assured!
"Agreed!"
Atalanta nodded.
And so.
Under the witness of everyone, the race began.
Whoosh~
Golden chains suddenly erupted from Nameless's body, wrapping Melanion up like a zongzi!
"I'm a demigod hero! How dare you bind me?!"
Melanion was utterly baffled to find that no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free.
"If you weren't a demigod, I wouldn't even be able to bind you!"
Nameless chuckled.
Then, he turned to the huntress beside him. "Now, shall we begin?"
"Fine! I won't lose to you!"
