Lucas had already made the teleportation ability users under him go to the underground base while Adam also had his members there, and after hearing Lana's words the others also started asking from their right hand men to get the thing done.

Athena also turned her head to Susan as she wanted to ask her to pass her orders, but then she saw how Susan was still injured so she stopped her words and asked from Morgan to do it instead.

Seeing what happened on Athena's side, Lana couldn't stop herself from bringing up what she saw earlier:

"Athena you have quite a helper, I saw how she dealt with those soldiers earlier today, she was simply astonishing, not even being able to deal with those weaklings if not for you she would have been dead by now, why are you still keeping such a useless person by your side? it can't be that you are really into wom..." Lana's voice was sarcastic and she was smiling as she said that, but before having the chance to finish her words she saw felt a chill going through her body, making her stop mid-speech.

She was able to see how Susan was defeated in one move, and she found it so funny how such a person was Athena's right hand man, and she couldn't stop herself from making fun of it.

Except that she didn't except the reaction that Athena would have after hearing her words.

What she meant about how Athena was into woman was a joke that some people released in the streets about how Athena was actually into woman after they saw how she didn't care at all about one of the most handsome people on the world, Ethan, and how her right hand man is such a weak beautifully young woman.

But of course no one ever said that to her face like Lana had just did, and the consequence of that were as anyone could expect, destructive.

The temperature of the room fall to below the freezing point in less than a second, it made it to the point where a layer of ice started appearing on the room table and chairs.

Athena then stood slowly as she looked at Lana coldly.

Lana knew that she had taken it way too far but she didn't want to back down, she too was a God of Area 02 and she wouldn't retreat just like that so she decided to take it till the end, so she started looking directly at Athena showing no weakness.

"Lana you better keep yourself out of my business or I'll make sure to destroy you, don't think that just because you have the same title as me that you are my equal, you actually don't even have the right to stand in front of me." Athena's voice seemed colder than usual, and as she talked the temperature of the room fall even more, except the seven Gods, Morgan and Susan, everyone there started shaking from the cold.

After finishing her words Athena snapped her finger and as she did, in less than half a second, and without even noticing it, Lana was covered in ice.

What happened there was a major surprise to everyone there, they couldn't believe that Athena was able to freeze Lana that easily, and without them even feeling it, they all got chills down their spins as they finally got a hint about how powerful Athena really was.

Less than a second after being frozen in ice, Lana was able to set herself free, there didn't seem to be anything weird about her, she wasn't shaking and there was no hint of ice on any part of her as if she wasn't frozen.

Actually what Athena did wasn't able to hurt her at all, not to mention hurting her, she didn't even feel cold, but what surprised her and made her a little bit mad was how she wasn't able to see it coming at all, and how she wasn't able to avoid it, that showed her that if Athena wanted to make that attack lethal she wouldn't have been able to avoid it.

"Athena what's the meaning of this." Lana said between clenched teeth.

"That was a warning, for you and everyone here to stay away from my matters, next time I won't be so nice." After she finished talking she turned around and left, with Susan and Morgan following behind her.

Lana and the others there just watched as Athena left the room.

After she was finally gone, Adam sighed and said to Lana:

"Lana we are now in the midst of a war and we should do our best to work together, not this, it really would be better if you and everyone here just forget any old grudges, at the very least forget it for now."

Lana didn't say anything she just humphed turned around and left the room with her followers behind her, not even caring about

what was going to be said after that.

Adam shook his head as he saw that, he then looked at Carlos, Ethan and Snake and their followers, the only people in the room except him and his messengers, and said:

The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

"We are in a sensitive time right now, so I really appreciate it if you forget about whatever happened before and work together to fight for our world."

As he was talking he looked at Snake as he and everyone in the world knew that his relationship with Athena wasn't that good.

Seeing that Snake started laughing before saying with his weird voice:

"I know what's better for our world so don't worry about me, it's just that if anything happened and a fight starts... I'll be on her side." Dinishing his words he turned around and left the room, leaving people in the room astonished.

Adam was a little bit better as he felt that the connection between Athena and Snake wasn't normal at all, it was strong, way stronger then what enemies should have, he just said what he said to make sure of it, and he did got his answer.

Ethan and Carlos in the other end were shocked, seeing how Snake's relationship with Athena seemed bad they always thought that he would attack her if he got the chance, but it seems that they were wrong.

Athena and the others had made it to a building which was made by a member of the Northern Legion.

Athena set on the main seat before falling to silence, a while passed by before she finally looked at Morgan and said:

"Go and ask from all the teleportation ability users to go to the underground base."

Nodding his head, Morgan saluted her before turning around and going to execute the orders that he got.

Then only Athena and Susan were left in the room, Susan didn't know what to say so she just stood there not knowing what to do, while waiting for Athena's orders or whatever.

"How are your wounds." Finally Athena asked.

As soon as the fight ended she dragged Susan behind her as they entered that meeting, not giving her the time to deal with her wounds at all.

"I'm good, they would heal soon enough." Susan answered hurriedly.

She felt touched to hear Athena asked about her health first.

"You better go to the doctor and got your wounds healed." Athena said.

The doctors in Area one were people with healing abilities, and the ones that Athena had in the Northern Legion weren't normal at all.

"I will do that." Susan nodded.

"Then your ability, which timing is it following now, the new one or the old." Athena asked.

"It is following the new one..." Susan answered dejectedly, her ability following the new timing only meant that she would be weak for longer periods of time.

"It's alright just think of it as you staying in your strongest form for longer time then before." As if understanding what she was thinking about, Athena looked at the new duration of the day and what it brought for Susan from its bright side.

Susan smiled after hearing that, it was true if she looked at it that way she really can stay in her strongest form for a longer time from then onward.

After that Susan left the building in order to heal her wounds leaving Athena alone in that big room.

But that didn't stay for long as soon after she left Athena said as if talking to herself:

"Show yourself no one is here."

"You truly care about this little girl." as soon as her words disappeared a voice sounded from one corner of the room, it seemed weird and no one could determine if the owner was a man or a woman just from hearing it.

After the owner of that voice finished his words, from the corner that it sounded of, a person appeared, it was Snake.

After he appeared he added:

"But you know that she isn't her right, they only look alike."

He ended his words with a sigh, and his weird voice had a hint of helplessness and sadness.

"... I know that, but she's still a Riodan, the last one at that, and the very least we can do is to protect her and make sure that at least one member of the family stays alive." Athena said after a long period of silence.

Her voice had a bigger amount of sadness.

Snake fall to silence after hearing her words, it seemed as if he was thinking about something, remembering a past long gone and a place that doesn't exist anymore.

Finally he sighed and said:

"Do whatever you want... And also you better act in a more restrained way then now, the other Gods might turn angry, and we don't really know what might happen then."

"As if I care." Athena said.

Snake didn't say anything more, he just turned around and started walking while laughing.

He understood Athena better than anyone, and he also was the only one who understood her true power, because of what he knew, he wasn't sure of what the end of a fight between her and the other Gods would be, of course that's without him entering it, as if he decided to join, whichever the side he joined, it would be the side that would come out victorious

Once again Athena was left alone inside the room, she set there thinking about what happened long ago.

Finally she sighed and stood up, she knew that the soldiers of Area 01 would be there soon so she had to prepare a little.

***

Area 07: on top of Barbarossa:

Dan and the others didn't know that a war had started between Area 01 and 02, and how the dragons were heading further and further away from them, they just kept on going on their journey.

Dan was standing on the top of the ship while looking at the blue ocean water, with the sun and the ocean breeze, he was lost in his thoughts till finally he felt someone stand next to him, turning his head he saw Robin standing there.

"What were you thinking about?" Robin asked, he saw how Dan seemed lost in thoughts while passing through there.

"I was thinking about how slow the ship is going." Dan answered while releasing a big sigh.

That problem had been in his mind since a while ago, the ship was overloaded, it was heavy, old and it's speed was slow, he was afraid that they might not even be able to pass half the distance before the end of the Great Migration, after that they would really fall into a big problem.

He also couldn't stop himself from remembering Thomas's little son, and how Thomas said that he hated them for bringing him and his family aboard Barbarossa, and making them a part of such a dangerous journey.
