Chapter 447: The ‘Love’ of a Goddess of Love.
Aphrodite was ecstatic, her mood was bright, and the world looked more beautiful than usual.
The reason for this? Victor came to visit her!
A week ago, he came to tell her what was going on in the world. The content of Victor’s conversation? That was something she honestly forgot a long time ago. She couldn’t give a damn about his overly complex explanation and just focused on what was important.
‘He was worried about me… He came to visit me… Hehehe~’ For someone who started out in a bad relationship, this was a huge step forward on Aphrodite’s part.
The pink-haired goddess was laughing maniacally as she whirled around her overly large mansion, the world was beautiful, and she felt like she was in the world of a princess.
“He was worried about me~, he wanted to protect me~.” Her eyes were glowing a feverish pink, and hearts could be seen inside her eyes.
Her love divinity was running wild like a pink beacon, all because of the influence of these thoughts towards a certain man.
Due to the divinity of love, people within a 30 km radius around Aphrodite were feeling the ‘sudden’ feeling of declaring their love to their beloved or chasing their once lost love.
Since the day Victor came to talk to the goddess, he came to visit regularly, and he always discussed his plans with her in the human world or sought information about the gods.
At Ruby’s request and insistence, Victor made an alliance with Aphrodite, effectively bringing the goddess to his side. The payment for that alliance?
It was spending more time with the goddess of love, something Ruby reluctantly accepted, all for the sake of the greater good and her plans.
But that’s not to say she wasn’t mildly annoyed, and so she wasted no time and used the goddess as a boss who demanded overtime from a tired subordinate.
Ruby’s focus was on the current invasion and how she could benefit from it.
She used the goddess of beauty and love as an information agent.
Now the question remained, where did the goddess of love get this information?
Of course, Aphrodite summoned all her ‘Simps’ and informants to gather everything related to suspicious movements of the gods and supernatural beings in general, then she would take any useful information and call Victor to visit.
Yes, that was a ‘pretext’ she created to receive his visit, she could tell him over the phone, but what was the fun? These things must be discussed in person! And it wasn’t like Victor could refuse either since that was the alliance deal after all.
“Oops…” Realizing that she was losing control of her ‘love’, she quickly held on to her divinity, then she touched her chin and began to think:
Bliss aside, an invasion by a race like demons was no joke, and she knew the angels, gods, and the supernatural world wouldn’t be quiet for long.
But that wasn’t what she was worried about now. Instead, she was worried about a recent piece of information she got from her ‘goddesses’ friends. [Bitches envious of her great beauty, but who still helped her because she was a Titan of great influence.]
The gods of the underworld were acting strangely.
As it is known, there are 7 underworlds and dimensions where the ‘hells’ of mythologies around the world were part of.
Norse Helheim, Greek Mythological Underworld, Biblical Hell, etc.
As well as the 7 hells, there were also the 7 paradises, and the term ‘paradise’ here was subjective, something to facilitate the understanding of supernatural beings.
Essentially speaking, the 7 paradises were the ‘heaven’ of mythologies.
For example, Mount Olympus is considered a ‘paradise’, just as the heaven of angels can be considered a paradise as well.
But leaving aside a little about the 7 paradises, let’s talk about the current problem.
Each pantheon had its own hell, the biblical hell being the biggest, the size was almost twice that of planet Earth, and it was also the hell that had the most evil creatures that were called demons.
And an informant of Aphrodite, one of the gods of the Greek underworld, reported that their king, Hades came into contact with the demons of hell.
‘What the fuck is Hades planning with the other gods of the underworld?’
She bit her finger as she thought, with irritation building in her heart, that she felt something was wrong.
The more Aphrodite dug deeper into this matter, the more she felt suspicious that this invasion wasn’t something that was decided out of the blue. It was all very coordinated, it was all very planned.
And to make the whole situation worse, Aphrodite sensed that someone was holding her back from gathering information.
Remember that Aphrodite was the goddess of love, so her charm was ridiculous. She could enchant anything and everyone, and even with that power, she couldn’t get anything ‘concrete’ and only speculation.
Nobody knew anything. Everything was well hidden, and given the nature of underworlders to listen only to the strongest, they won’t question their leader, or they won’t live another day to tell the tale.
Because of that nature, she couldn’t find anything, NOTHING! And that frustrated her.
‘Tsk, if I could somehow enter the underworld, I could personally investigate.’ Few things in the world could harm Aphrodite. She wasn’t one of the strongest Titans for nothing. Other than that, she had a big advantage over beings due to her charm.
She was 100% confident to go to Hades’ underworld, investigate what she wanted, and leave, but the problem was that she had no way of getting into that place.
…Which was a lie, as she had ways to get into that place, but for that, she had to talk to Persephone, and that’s a bad idea. She doesn’t want to get involved with Persephone now that she’s in a good relationship with Victor.
She wouldn’t risk her happiness for the sake of a whore, and it’s not like she’s guaranteed to find out if she goes to Hades’ realm.
Aphrodite had a mission… A mission to protect this newly acquired ‘happiness’ she had in her hands, and she would do anything to protect that happiness, even if it meant sacrificing arrogant pawns.
“Lady Renata, we have a visitor for you.” A voice behind the door was heard.
“…” Aphrodite stopped thinking and asked in an altered voice:
“Who is the visitor?”
“Your friend, Attorney Anna Walker.”
“…Anna?” Aphrodite spoke to herself curiously. Yes, she realized that her friend was freaking out about the possible invasion, and she and Victor did their best to calm her down.
Not just her, even if he doesn’t show it much, Leon was also apprehensive.
“Let her in.”
“Yes, Lady Renata.”
‘I’ll think about it later.’ Aphrodite stretched a little, looked around, and quickly realized that her room was a mess. She was quite a lazy goddess and spent most of her time lying in bed, or on the couch, or on the floor.
Her entire room was quite comfortable and had several ‘fluffy’ rugs made by the god of tailors in her mythology. She also asked her niece Hestia to bless her home with her blessing.
[A/N: This Aphrodite is a Titan who was born from the cut sac of Uranus, she is one of the brothers of Kronos, Rhea, etc.]
She snapped her finger, and soon her entire room had been tidied up to its original appearance.
The door opened, and Anna entered the room, wearing black pants, black boots, a simple red shirt, and a beige coat.
“Sup, Bitch, I came to visit.” She smiled slightly.
A vein popped in Aphrodite’s head, and she said:
“Don’t step on my rug in those dirty boots.”
“….” Anna stopped walking and looked down to see that she was about to step onto Aphrodite’s fluffy rug.
“Okay…” She sat on the floor, and took off her boots, then, while taking off her boots, she said, “Tsk, petty, you can clean everything with a snap of your fingers like you’re Thanos or something.”
“This and that are different things. I don’t want to see my rug getting dirty, this is where I sleep, you know?”
“Yeah, Yeah, whatever.” She rolled her eyes.
After taking off her boots, she stepped onto the rug, and her body trembled slightly, the feeling was always quite comfortable.
As Aphrodite no longer needed to hide her identity from Anna, she showed off her entire collection of extremely expensive, luxurious, and limited edition items. Of course, most of these items were given away by her ‘Simps’ in an attempt to woo the most beautiful goddess.
Honestly, Anna was quite envious of the quality of Aphrodite’s products, and she really wanted to take home some of these products but didn’t say anything because it would be inappropriate. She’s brutally honest, but she wasn’t envious to the point of acting like a Karen.
“So why did you come to visit me?” she asked curiously.
“Did you forget? Today is my lesson day.” Anna responded with an unbelievable look.
“…Oh…” Aphrodite had completely forgotten, which was normal, considering several things were happening at the same time that required her attention. [Most of them being about Victor]
“What do you want to know today?”
“Let’s continue the biblical mythology lesson, I want to know more about angels and demons.” Anna spoke with a light twinkling in her eyes as if she were a child.
“Okay…” She sat on the floor, leaned against a pillow, and raised her hand, a pink glow in the shape of a book appeared in her hands, and she asked:
“Angels?”
“Yes.”
“Which one?”
“… Lucifer.” Anna spoke after thinking. She had already studied about Gabriel and Michael, and wanted to know about Lucifer.
“That guy, huh…”
“Did you meet him?”
“Before he fell from the sky? Yes, after falling from the sky, I didn’t meet him.” Aphrodite spoke in disgust, she didn’t like the presence of demons.
“Ohhh, so you didn’t do anything to him, huh.”
“Mm.” She nodded her head:
“When he was an angel, he was quite pure and didn’t think about sex, and when he fell and became a demon, he even tried to woo me, but as you know, I hate demons and vile creatures.” Aphrodite felt sick as if she was going to throw up.
“Umu, Umu. And then?”
“Hmm? What?”
“Who is the most handsome man you have met?”
“…How does this question connect with the previous question?” Aphrodite asked in disbelief.
“Mah, mah. Don’t worry about it, just answer.”
“…You just want to gossip, huh.”
“Well, you are a literal goddess, I bet you have a lot of interesting stories.”
“That’s true, but you must learn it first… How about this, we finish this book, and when I finish it, I’ll tell you something interesting about my life.”
“Umu, I accept!”
“…Okay, let’s start-.” When Aphrodite was about to start teaching, Anna interrupted, saying:
“So, who’s the most handsome man you’ve met?”
“…” Looking at her friend, she saw the woman’s eyes shining with stars and realized that she wouldn’t be able to teach anything until she satisfied her friend’s curiosity.
“Are you talking about the most handsome mortal man or the most handsome divine man?”
“I’m speaking in general, who is the most handsome man?”
“Victor.” Aphrodite’s response was instantaneous.
“…Eh?”
“He is literally Adonis on Earth, and the man who has all my beauty blessings, his charm has long surpassed countless male gods.” She spoke as if it were a fact, and all in a neutral tone, showing she clearly wasn’t being influenced by anything.
She was simply spitting out facts.
“By Victor, do you mean MY VICTOR?”
“Yes, Duh.”
“….” Anna didn’t know how to feel about that.
“Isn’t that dangerous?” She knew what supernatural beings were like, arrogant and with a big ego.
“Yes, he can enchant everything and everyone without knowing it, but don’t worry, I’m teaching him how to control this power.” This was also one of the pretexts for meeting the man in person.
A silence fell on the place. Aphrodite respected that Anna was thinking about something, and meanwhile, she went to visit her social media.
Opening her messages, she saw the chat group she had created, a chat group that contained various gods that she deemed ‘worthy’ to join.
Despite being a small group of only 5 gods, including herself, they were all quite influential in their respective pantheons.
Seeing the group quite active, she narrowed her eyes:
‘Strange, normally these lazy people are just sleeping. What happened?’
Honestly, she was too lazy to read the messages.

“!!!?” Aphrodite stopped looking at her phone and looked at Anna:
“What?”
“Let’s continue?”
“Oh… Sure.” Aphrodite put her cell phone down beside her and picked up the book.
