The Fruit of Surgery

"Oh, it's the one from the Far East. You're still alive." Astraea seemed a little surprised to see Chiyome Mochizuki.

"I was left behind." Chiyome Mochizuki naturally understood what Astraea meant and immediately explained.

"Chiyome, you know her." Jason immediately said. It was rare for Chiyome to change the subject. Jason naturally didn't want Astraea to think of what he had just done. That is, he is now a heroic spirit, and this is the Lostbelt. If it were in the era when he was alive, his behavior would be blasphemy.

"I have met him before."

"What is your purpose? Why are you cruising nearby?" Perhaps because of Chiyome's interruption, Astraea did not continue to pursue Jason's behavior, but asked about the purpose of everyone.

"This." Chiyome hesitated immediately. Although Astraea was not their enemy, he was a Greek god after all. She didn't know how to answer this question for a while.

"It is to break through the triple defense wall." Ritsuka said solemnly.

"What an arrogant answer! I really want to put you on the scales, but forget it, come with me."

Astraea said, he turned and walked towards the center of the island. The group immediately followed him. Along the way, there were various statues of Astraea on both sides. Astraea stopped in front of a temple. There were more statues here.

"There are also piles of statues here. It's really creepy. No, you have really good taste." Looking at so many statues of Astraea, Jason's old attitude emerged and he almost said something he shouldn't say. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and didn't finish his words, and he made up for it in time.

"It's a great work, giving people a sense of security." Li Xiang said, looking at the statues around him.

"Why, are you also a muscle lover, but when it comes to muscles, Hercules is very good, great." Jason laughed as he said this. When talking about Hercules, his attitude was obviously different.

"Indeed, Hercules' muscles are very good, but there should be muscles in the world that I have never seen. It seems that I should explore them." Speaking of the topic of muscles, Astraea immediately joined in.

"It is indeed Luvia." Seeing Astraea's interest in the topic of muscles, Shen Fei immediately understood that this should be a problem of integrating Luvia's consciousness, just like Ishtar cares about gems.

"Miss Astraea, each of these statues is extremely delicate and is an excellent work that has poured a lot of emotion. Did you carve them yourself?" Mashu looked at the statues around and asked.

Although there are a large number of Astraea's statues around the temple, if you look closely, you will find that each statue is lifelike and has a different expression, which is enough to show that the people who carved these statues have poured all their emotions into each one.

"Did you see it?" Astraea was obviously very satisfied with Mashu's careful observation.

"It's nothing special. Although the carving is very exquisite, the model was chosen wrong. It hurts." Jason, who was expressing his feelings, suddenly covered his head and shouted loudly.

"Sorry, I accidentally slipped." Astraea calmly waved his hand to take back the scales that slipped out of his hand, and then continued: "Next time, I will accidentally slip with my bare hands. When you talk nonsense, be careful of your life."

Because it is fused with Luvia, the threat of bare hands is much greater than the threat of the scales in her hand. The nickname of the Lady Crane is not false.

"These statues were not made by me, but carved by the servant who stayed here before." Astraea briefly explained the situation, but did not reveal the identity of the servant.

"Although I am just an outsider, I can also see from the statues here that the carvings have observed Astraea in detail." Mashu said.

"Yes, I can even feel the muscles under the skin. It seems that he is a servant who knows the human body well." Orion said on the side. He has been observing these statues since just now.

"Could it be that Michelangelo was summoned?" Da Vinci's voice sounded from the communicator. There are not many servants who can carve statues so well.

"Unfortunately, it's not." Astraea answered.

"The reason why I asked him to do this is not because of the goddess, but because the girl in the body likes this, so she asked for it. However, as a god who sings the praises of justice, I don't hate muscles."

"It's Miss Luvia's style." Mashu and Ritsuka couldn't help but laugh. They were familiar with Luvia and even learned wrestling and fighting skills from her. Naturally, they knew each other's personality.

"Do you know the girl in this body?" Astraea asked when she heard the name Luvia again.

"Yes." Mashu could only nod when it was difficult to say Luvia specifically.

"Okay, your goal is to shoot down the moon goddess Artemis, defeat Odysseus' army, and then defeat Poseidon, reach Olympus, and cut down the fantasy tree." Astraea said, the smile on her face disappeared and became serious.

"Yes, Miss Astraea, are you willing to help us?" Ritsuka looked at Astraea with a firm face.

"Your idea is too naive. I can tell you that it is impossible to accomplish such a feat with human bodies alone. It is a fantasy for a mere hero of pan-human history to want to defeat this Lostbelt. I am the goddess of Libra, and the judgment will be biased towards this Lostbelt no matter what." Although Astraea is the god of justice and Libra, she is a Greek god after all.

"I knew it would be like this." Jason's expression also became serious.

"The gods who once tried to protect you have lost their power and were destroyed. Now only their remains are left. The gods are your enemies. As the goddess of Libra, I stay here to maintain justice, but that's all. I won't help you."

"Miss Astraea, not being an enemy to us is the greatest help." Ritsuka immediately said. Although the best situation is that the other party helps them, but now the other party remains neutral, it is already a very good result for Chaldea, otherwise Chaldea will face a god enemy.

Even if the other party is a pseudo-servant, he is a god after all. Considering the situation in this Lostbelt, the current Libra Goddess may be stronger than Ishtar.

Ritsuka's words made Astraea silent.

"I will give you a few trials. Only if you pass the trials, I can provide the corresponding information. If you don't want to accept it, you can leave this island. However, I recommend you to try it." After a while, Astraea spoke.

"I didn't expect there is a choice." Jason said, and it's not his fault. As we all know, the so-called trials of the Greek gods never consider whether the people who are going to take the trials want to participate. To a certain extent, Jason's Argo expedition was actually a trial.

"There is no choice at all." Mochizuki Chiyome spoke. Although Astraea said that they could leave if they didn't accept it, in order to obtain the corresponding information, they actually had no choice.

"What is the trial." Ritsuka asked immediately.

"It's very simple, fight and win. Each time you pass a trial, you can get a piece of information. The master needs to participate in the whole process, and there are certain restrictions for others." Astraea then told her trial. The master of Chaldea brought two servants to challenge the opponent she chose, not to fight with her personally. After all, she is a god, and it would be bullying to fight in person.

"It seems that there is one more person." Shen Fei counted the number of people and found that he was redundant.

"I'll go first, Corday." Orion stood up first. This was a completely Tian Ji horse racing choice. Among all the servants, he was the strongest, and Corday was the weakest.

"Your opponent is the guardian." Then the group immediately came to an open space on the side. There were no statues around here. It seemed that Astraea was also afraid that the battle between the two sides would destroy these carefully carved statues.

"Let me do it." Looking at the huge stone giant with a height of more than six meters, Orion immediately asked Corday to stay behind, and he rushed up alone waving a wooden stick.

Corday looked at the short knife in her hand and could only stay behind with an unwilling look on her face. The guardian was Corday's enemy. Her attack might not be able to break the defense, even the treasure was the same. This was not a game. Corday's treasure in the game would work on the existence of stone giants, but in reality, her treasure was aimed at living beings, and the effect on humans was the greatest.

Orion fought the guardian alone, relying on his powerful strength and endurance, and smashed the stone giant into pieces without even using the treasure.

"Is it me who said it casually, or you ask questions." After Orion won, Astraea immediately spoke.

"How many gods are there in Olympus besides Zeus." Holmes appeared and asked the first evil question.

"It seems that you are very confident in breaking through the three defense walls. Olympus still has it now." Astraea glanced at the group of people in front of him with some surprise, and then spoke about the situation in Olympus.

"The next match is between me and Mashu." Chiyome Mochizuki and Mashu stood up, and then Astraea gave them an opponent that was no longer a guardian, but Lamia, which was strengthened by nanomachines, that is, a snake girl. This situation made Chiyome Mochizuki a little excited, because she was good at killing snakes.

"Is this considered letting the opponent go?" Looking at the opponent chosen by Astraea, Shen Fei muttered in his heart. If the opponent this time was still a guardian, it would undoubtedly be a fierce battle for Mashu and Chiyome Mochizuki. These two people did not have the power of Orion, but the snake girl, plus Chiyome's characteristics, it was impossible not to win.

Then Shen Fei found that he was wrong. The strength of this snake girl was really strong. Chiyome and Mashu won after a hard fight.

"The Lamia just now was a special product mass-produced by Echid. Echid is the factory of all monsters. If you underestimate them, you will suffer. The second trial has also been broken through, so what is the problem?" Seeing Chiyome and Mashu win, Astraea immediately spoke.

"Is this a disguised leak of information?" Shen Fei was speechless. He said that he would lean towards the Lostbelt, but in the end he still leaned towards Chaldea.

"Do you know how many servants of Pan-Human History are willing to help us? Tell me their names. By the way, you should be a servant of Pan-Human History, why don't you want to help us?" Jason asked immediately.

"Didn't I say I can only ask one question? Forget it. I'll tell you that Achilles is still alive and he will be willing to be your companion. There is also an archer. That's it."

"You didn't tell me the name of that archer. There is another question I hope you can answer." Jason continued to ask.

"I am indeed a servant of Pan-Human History, but I am also the Greek goddess of Libra here. The most important thing is that I have made a deal with the gods of Olympus. I will not interfere directly, nor will I be elevated to a god." Astraea answered after a moment of silence.

"Ascension to a god?" Mashu said doubtfully.

"To put it simply, as long as I stand on the side of Olympus, I can become one of the gods of this Lostbelt and gain a body, but I rejected this condition. If so, the scale will tilt too much. Whether the Lostbelt will be destroyed or not, I will disappear from here when the time comes." Astraea explained the reason, but still did not say the name of the archer.

"So that's it. The only ones who can become our companions are Achilles and the unknown archer. In other words, they are the only two servants in Atlantis, right?"

Jason's words made everyone present silent. According to the information they had obtained from Chiyo, there were quite a few servants left, but now they seemed to have been eliminated.

"Unless you pass the next trial, I will not answer this question." Astraea said.

"I'm surprised that you have already answered it." Jason said.

"You're so annoying. You're the next challenger."

"Okay, Mandicardo." Jason looked at Shen Fei, hesitated for a moment, and chose Mandicardo. Although Mandicardo didn't want to team up with him, he had to cooperate now. This time, Astraea prepared a strengthened Chimera for the two.

"I can finally see Jason's strength."

"The oath without a sword."

The result disappointed Shen Fei again. Jason did take action, but he didn't show much strength. He just blocked Chimera, and then Mandicardo on the side used the treasure to kill Chimera. Although the strength of this Chimera is not weaker than the previous Lamia, Mandicardo's treasure is the holy sword.

"I can tell you the answer to the previous question." After Jason won, Astraea opened his mouth and prepared to tell the answer to the previous question, but was immediately stopped by Jason.

"Wait a minute, we need to change the question." After some discussion, the question they finally decided to ask was about Theoscleronomea. Although the God of Forge had already told them part of it, it was not complete.

"Zeus and Poseidon's Theoscleronomea is in Olympus, and here we only have Athena's Theoscleronomea, but it cannot be used by human spirits. If a human who is not a god uses it, he will be the same as Ikaros."
