That evening.
The residents of Thera are ready to return to their homes to rest after an exhausting but fulfilling day.
Or you can go to one of the few bars on the island with your friends to have a drink and relax.
The residents of the island, including their fathers, grandfathers, and even their ancestors, have no idea that there are fallen Greek gods below the island, let alone the battle that took place this morning.
The European branch's most experienced technicians have completed standard "cleaning" procedures for the underground palace. Everything of note is recorded before being destroyed.
After that, Queen White will invest in Thera Island on the surface, but in fact increase the monitoring of the island.
As for the surviving Hephaestus and the six Servant of God soldiers, they were first transferred to the Göbekli Research Center not far away to undergo a comprehensive inspection by the research team led by Alexia.
After completing the examination, Artemis finally asked Hephaestus personally why the Olympian gods fell.

…
late at night.
The first floor of the Göbekli Research Center.
In a senior staff lounge.
Sui Bian sat on the single sofa, lying on the comfortable cushions and watching the holographic screen not far in front of him.
(The two artificial intelligences usually keep quiet and stand next to Sui Bian)
The screen showed Artemis wearing Umbrella uniform, asking Hephaestus who was sitting in a wheelchair opposite and wearing a blue hospital gown.
Through the dialogue between the two gods, or more unilaterally told by Hephaestus, Sui Bian gradually straightened out the past of Olympus.
Zeus easily defeated the demon Samael, but the god-king was helpless with Cassius' gun and could only watch his daughter fall into a coma.
So Zeus ordered the gods to find a way to awaken Artemis.
thereafter.
During the two thousand years that Artemis fell into a coma, low-level demons like the Blood Demon Griffin from different dimensions have been constantly harassing the earth.
Facing enemies of this level, the Olympian gods can easily defeat them.
But the gods can only defeat, but they cannot complete the real killing.
At this time, Zeus discovered the so-called "plague" much earlier than the Plague Doctor, which was the threat of alien space and demons to the gods and the earth.
It's just that Zeus is not as wise as the Plague Doctor, and he seriously underestimated the threat of alien space.
The god of agility, Hermes, who was ordered to find how to awaken Artemis, did not find a way to awaken his sister, but accidentally discovered a way to travel to another space.
In order to eliminate the threat once and for all, and at the same time to awaken his daughter, Zeus prepared to lead his army into a different space to slay the demons.
Zeus asked his wife Hera to temporarily take charge of Olympus, and also asked gods such as Ares, Hephaestus, and Aphrodite to assist Hera in guarding Olympus.
Zeus then ordered Hermes to open a passage in the Temple of Olympus.
Lead gods and demigod heroes including Poseidon, Hades, Apollo, Hermes, and Heracles, as well as an uncountable number of servants of gods, through the passage into a different space. , ready to complete the feat of slaying the devil.
Not long after the army entered the alien space, the passage in the temple suddenly disappeared, causing Olympus to lose contact with the army.
At first, gods such as Hera and Ares still had absolute confidence in the army led by Zeus.
But ten years, hundreds, and thousands of years have passed, and no matter how confident they are, the remaining gods have to accept the possibility that Zeus has fallen and the army has been destroyed.
At this point, the remaining gods of Olympus truly realized the terror of alien space and demons.
However, Zeus's move to lead his army into a different space is actually not a wasted effort, at least few demons will try to harass the earth again.
The turning point for the complete decline of Olympus was when the giant Lilith tried to use her flesh and blood to create a new species in Turkey, which was close to Greece, to replace humans.
After hearing the news, Hera sent Ares and an army of servants of gods to destroy them.
The final result was that Ares and Lilith died together.
The double blow of losing her husband and her most beloved son made Hera devastated. Then the goddess took the initiative to hide her traces and left the temple located at the top of Mount Olympus.
In the following few thousand years, the temples without gods quickly collapsed, and humans gradually became the masters of the earth. The Olympian gods and other gods were swallowed up by the long river of history and became the talk of mankind after dinner.
As for Aphrodite's fall, it began when Hera left the temple.
The already decadent private life became even worse without the constraints of divine responsibility. It also used its ability to inspire the most primitive desires to seduce the vast majority of the remaining low-level gods and god-servant soldiers.
Hephaestus, whose relationship was in name only, chose to be out of sight and out of mind, living alone under the Santorini volcano that had just erupted.
Occasionally, this craftsman god will go out of the observation world on Thera Island, disguised as various identities, and help the island residents and people in nearby areas tide over difficulties.
But this peaceful life ended four hundred years ago.
At that time, the fallen Aphrodite led the equally fallen lower gods and god-servant soldiers to seize and renovate Hephaestus' residence.
Aphrodite didn't even have the desire to bewitch, so she cut off Hephaestus' legs and forced Hephaestus to make weapons and armor.
In the next two hundred years, the gods and soldiers who chose to fall captured their companions who did not want to fall to the island of Thera, and tortured their former companions in various ways.
Those who could not bear the torture were either forced to corrupt or lost their lives and turned into skeletons. In the end, only the six determined servants of God were left.
After that.
Aphrodite asked Medusa, who was also corrupted, and the nymphs (lower goddesses) who were transformed into Gorgons to guard the tunnels leading to the underground palace. The fallen goddesses only enjoyed themselves with the demons. Indulge.
During this period, Hephaestus was tortured to forge weapons and armor.
But from the analysis of Aphrodite's magical mutterings and the dialogue between demons, it turns out that the demons who were defeated by Ares and Zeus were all one of the many inconspicuous little characters in the different space. .
And Aphrodite claimed to have heard "the teachings of the true god."
He said that the "true God" is competing with other "gods", that the current earth is not worthy of the attention of the "true god", or that the number of humans is too few.
In order to be ready to please the "true god", Aphrodite forced Hephaestus to build the best weapons and armor and wait for the full arrival of the "true god" after he freed up his energy.
