Ouranos, the God of the Sky, was the first King of the Gods. He and Gaea, the Goddess of the Earth, fathered the twelve Titans, three Cyclopes, and three Hecatoncheires.
On the surface, there seemed to be no problem, but if one traced the origins, they would find that Gaea was actually Ouranos's mother as well... It was Greek mythology, after all—a real mess.
So, setting aside that "incestuous mess" for a moment and focusing on the Titans, they realized...
Aren't the twelve Titans of Greek mythology the prototypes for the twelve Titans of Amphoreus? Although many details differed, at least the name "Twelve Titans" was consistent.
"Hyacine is a descendant of the Sky and possesses the potential to become a Sky Titan; she could be called a descendant of the Titans."
"And since Ouranos is the father of the Titans, He is my..."
"Ancestor?"
Seemingly realizing something, both Hyacine and Barbara saw the shock in each other's eyes, and then they simply gave up trying to make sense of it.
Truly worthy of Greek mythology—the more you try to untangle the relationships, the messier they get!
To prevent these chaotic relationships from cluttering their thoughts, Hyacine and Barbara chose to stop thinking about it.
"Forget it, let's not think about these things. We'll see what Ouranos has to say when we meet him..."
Despite heading downwards, the further they went, the more they could feel the aura of the sky, indicating that Ouranos was not far from them.
Sure enough, as several flickers of firelight appeared, Hyacine and Barbara emerged directly beneath the altar. At that moment, as if sensing something, both girls looked up simultaneously at the deity sitting upon the altar.
Without a doubt, that was Ouranos!
An elderly yet majestic man sat upon the throne of the altar, gazing at Hyacine and Barbara with a gaze that seemed to pierce through everything.
The two girls happened to look up just as their eyes met his; the two humans and one god stared at each other, completely unsure of what they were looking for.
Because they were protected by the system, neither Hyacine nor Barbara was worried that Ouranos could see through anything.
In contrast, they were more concerned about something else...
How did Ouranos view them? In what capacity should they speak to him?
Since arriving in Orario, Hyacine had judged her identity based on the gazes of others; she was not a god, but a human, just like Barbara.
However, with the summons from Ouranos, Hyacine realized something was amiss... Was her identity in the DanMachi World not as simple as she had imagined?
Even when asking the system, she received no useful answers, only knowing that she was currently playing a role...
She hadn't figured out what was happening at all, eh?
"Um, Lord... Ouranos?"
Looking at the high-and-mighty deity, Hyacine and Barbara finally decided to communicate as humans, but they were quickly stopped by Ouranos.
The elderly Male God slowly lowered his head, a faint smile appearing on his face. It was unclear what he was thinking, but his tone was exceptionally gentle, almost like a grandfather seeing his grandson after a long time...
"There is no need to address me like that, child."
"After all, I can feel a sky aura similar to mine within you, and a potent one at that... You may be as casual as you like."
Ouranos didn't put on the airs of a deity at all; instead, he was like a kind old grandfather, which seemed quite out of place.
Was this a god's attitude toward a human?
Wasn't it a bit too kind?
"I am Ouranos, the founding god of this city."
"Child, can you tell me your name?" One cannot lie before a deity, so Hyacine and Barbara immediately gave their names.
"Hyacine."
"Barbara."
"Yes, those are indeed your names." Ouranos looked at Hyacine, quietly waiting for her next words, "But that is not the name I want..."
Hyacine... was actually incorrect?
Well, Hyacine was actually a shortening of her original name; her true name was actually...
"Hyacinthia!"
Hyacine said her name confidently. This had to be the correct answer, right?
However, Ouranos shook his head once more.
"Not your full name, but your other name—the name of a god!"
The expressions of the two girls froze. Hyacine seemed to think of something, her eyes suddenly widening, and even her pupils underwent a subtle change.
"A god's name..."
"——Aegler!"
