When the forbidden Harvest Star Wilpa was mentioned, Ares naturally knew what it was.
After all, not long after he arrived in this world, the God of Foresight told him the story of the Youxing Vanguard shattering the original godhead of Earth.
However, in Ares's memory, the Youxing Vanguard that destroyed the Age of Gods on Earth should have been the giant god Attila, designated as "Wilpa 02", and the "Starship" fragment carrying the giant god Attila should have fallen onto the Moon.
But now, what was this "wilpa 03" in front of him, and was the Youxing Vanguard inside it still alive?
However, after careful thought, Ares felt relieved; in this universe, there was a concept of parallel worlds, and the history of the Youxing Vanguard "Wilpa 02" he knew was, in the end, just one of countless parallel worlds, just like in some parallel worlds, a certain Gilgamesh could use the characteristics of his Gate of Babylon to contend with a B-rank Heracles, but in other parallel worlds, when facing Heracles of other classes, he would be utterly defeated.
It was very possible that in the current spacetime and world he was in, the Youxing Vanguard "wilpa 03" also fell to Earth and was then defeated by some kind of deus ex machina similar to a "Holy Sword Wielder."
However, if this "wilpa 03" was the "hope" Athena was searching for, then it made sense, because in the face of the Youxing Vanguard, the mere God King Zeus truly amounted to nothing.
However, Ares was a bit unsure how Athena planned to utilize this Youxing Vanguard "wilpa 03"; the Goddess of Wisdom would certainly not tolerate a chess piece beyond her control, but Athena definitely did not have the ability to directly control this envoy dispatched by the yusei, as the difference in their power levels was too great.
As an ordinary person, Ares was well aware of his limits; when he couldn't figure something out, he would never insist on saving face, so Ares decisively shared information with Hecate, who was beside his main body, and asked:
"Teacher, what do you think?"
After pondering for a moment, the Moon Goddess replied to Ares:
"My understanding of the Predatory yusei is not very deep. How about this, I'll teach you a magic spell, and you and I will share vision."
"Good."
The magic Hecate taught was already a very simple spell for the current Ares, so as soon as she finished speaking, Ares immediately learned this small spell and then shared his vision with Hecate. After they shared the vision of Ares's false body, Ares immediately controlled this body and, following Hecate's instructions, cautiously explored from the broken opening of the shattered starship, entering the Youxing Starship.
"I once heard that the origin of us gods came from Uranus of the sky." As her vision followed Ares's false body moving within the starship, Hecate said, "Because he was a god who descended from the sky, he was also called the God of the Sky. Zeus's father, Cronus, claimed to be the son of Uranus and Gaia, and his legitimacy as God King came from his patricide and usurpation. However, you and I both know that the so-called 'Gaia' does not exist at all, or rather, she is the planet itself. For such an existence, Cronus was completely unimportant to her. Therefore, those of us who research magic have also become suspicious of the so-called 'Uranus'."
Looking at the mottled pipelines on the starship, Hecate said in a solemn voice, "Now it seems that the so-called 'Uranus' might actually exist."
"Do you mean this starship is 'Uranus,' or at least something belonging to Uranus?"
Ares asked as he walked.
"It's very possible."
Hecate confirmed Ares's conjecture:
"Originally, in my research findings, many aspects of our divine physiques were incompatible with the rules of Earth, as if they were forcibly embedded."
As she spoke, Ares's false body had already followed the starship's hull into a huge space inside the starship. His gaze casually swept over the patterns covering the floor and walls of this metal room. When he swept over a wall covered with mysterious characters, Hecate whispered:
"Stop."
Ares immediately stopped his false body upon hearing this and focused his gaze on the wall covered with these characters. Like the characters outside, Ares also understood these characters.
According to the records in these characters, the name of this starship was "Uranus," and it came from a place whose name was already blurred. However, it was somewhat unlucky on its way to Earth, as it actually collided head-on with the "wilpa 03" starship fragment, which was released by the Predatory yusei and carried a vanguard.
The two engaged in a great battle in outer space. Because the vanguard carried by "wilpa 03" could not fully deploy, it was destroyed along with the starship "Cronus" by crashing into it. Both fell together into the deep ocean of Earth at that time.
Upon realizing its time was running out, the starship's system "Uranus" made a judgment, dismantling its own system and assimilating with the local planet. It actively integrated into the planet, and the planet's will also accepted this guest, transforming the twelve life forms it separated into the gods of the local region.
And these twelve life forms separated from the system were the previous generation of the Twelve Titans. Because the proportion of machine gods was greater than that of Earth gods, the bodies of the Twelve Titans were enormous and not composed of organic matter, but rather inorganic matter.
However, the Twelve Titans continued to reproduce, and by the third generation of gods, such as Hecate and Zeus, their bodies had become similar to humans, and their personalities, emotions, souls, and desires were also closer to Earth life.
Hecate on the other side also seemed to understand the meaning of these characters. After reading them, she sighed:
"A self-fulfilling prophecy. I didn't expect that what we casually guessed would actually be true."
"But none of that matters,"
Ares said.
"The key is what Athena wants inside."
"Currently, I haven't seen anything particularly valuable," Hecate said. "Continue searching."
So Ares controlled his clone and continued searching the starship. The main body of "Uranus" had already separated and transformed into the Twelve Titans, who were currently imprisoned by Zeus in the bronze prison of Tartarus. There was nothing left on this starship.
After inspecting the starship, Ares's clone jumped out of the starship's breach and officially entered the hull of the Youxing Ark "wilpa 03."
Unlike the starship design of "Uranus," which looked like it flew out of a high-tech movie, the Youxing Starship, although theoretically a more terrifying object, had an interior that resembled an ancient stone chamber, with dark red, peculiar patterns appearing on the stone walls.
In the center of this stone chamber was a damaged, dark red cube with straight patterns on its surface, roughly identical in appearance to wilpa 03 except for its size. In front of this cube was a giant, about sixteen meters tall, lying quietly there. Its chest was pierced by the bow of the starship "Uranus," and it had long since lost all signs of life.
