I was a priest in the city-state era.

Chapter 223 Demigod Princess Persephone
After rejecting Persephone's request, Roy continued.

"Goddess Persephone, this is a war between us humans. As a god, you should not interfere directly!"

Persephone said with a smile.

"You're right. As a god, I really can't directly interfere with your human wars, but I can become a human to stop you."

After speaking, Persephone's body burst into a mixed golden and black divine light.

After the divine light disappeared, Persephone's figure attracted the attention of all the soldiers on board, and apparently ordinary humans could also see Persephone at this time.

What puzzled Roy was that the soldiers were not surprised by Persephone's presence on the ship, as if Persephone had been on the ship in the first place.

"Let me introduce you!"

Persephone raised the huge black sickle with her right hand and pointed at Roy.

"I am Persephone, Princess of Tenaron. If you don't change your mind, I will be your opponent next."

Princess Persephone of Tenaron—

Seeing that the soldiers not only did not question Persephone's identity, but also looked at Persephone in awe, Roy couldn't help but widen his eyes and said.

"Are you distorting human perception of you?"

Persephone shook her head and said.

"As the patron saint of the Pylos region, I have a status higher than that of a king in Tenaron City, so when I become a human, I can set my identity in Tenaron City at will."

After listening to Persephone's explanation, Roy immediately thought of another world's mythology, when gods transform into humans, they can indeed assume any identity for themselves, including kings, queens, princes, and princesses. They can also become men, women, old people, and young people at will, and human beings will naturally accept the identity of gods, and will not feel abnormal about their sudden appearance.

In the story of Odysseus, Athena not only transforms into a human, but also participates in human wars.

It is precisely because of Athena's help that the weak Odysseus and his son can kill a hundred unarmed and defenseless suitors.

Without the intervention of Athena, Odysseus and his son would not be able to kill all the suitors in one go.

Thinking that the gods transformed into humans could directly interfere with human wars, Roy said worriedly.

"Goddess Persephone, can you break the rules of the gods and fight with me now?"

Persephone shook her head and said.

"As a god, I cannot break the shackles of the rules. But now I am standing in front of you not as a god, but as a human being. What I can use is not the power of the gods, but the demigods among the human beings. Heroes are equal in power.”

"In other words, you are not only turning into a human being, but also limiting your power to the level of a demigod hero, so you can fight with me without being restricted by the rules—"

Although Persephone has limited her divine power to the demigod hero level, her divine power is still greater than that of Roy, who is at the great hero level.

Seeing that Roy didn't intend to attack her actively, Persephone suddenly smiled contemptuously, and swung the black sickle with her right hand to chop Roy's neck.

Roy didn't dare to be careless, and swung the spear with both hands to block Persephone's black scythe.

Clang!
Roy's spear collided with Persephone's black scythe.

Immediately afterwards, a huge force made Roy's hands numb, and his body involuntarily retreated continuously.

bang!
Roy stopped walking when his receding body hit the guardrail on the edge of the warship.

"My current strength actually has such a huge gap in divine power compared to the demigod hero?"

In just the first round of confrontation, he almost fell into the sea because of Persephone's attack, which made Roy completely lose the idea of ​​fighting Persephone.

Because Roy had used all his strength in the confrontation just now, but Persephone seemed to be able to do a job with ease.

If Persephone had used all her strength at the demigod hero level just now, Roy's head might have been chopped off.

"It was able to barely block my attack—"

Persephone looked at Roy with surprised and appreciative eyes and said.

"Although I didn't use all my strength seriously, your strength is closer to the level of a demigod hero than a big hero. Maybe it won't take long before you will become a demigod hero, and even be able to become a god after death, becoming a pillar God of Heroes."

Sky Wings--

Roy summoned black wings, and then flew into the air with a flap of the wings.

Leaving the warship where Persephone was, Roy looked down at Persephone with a relaxed smile and said.

"Goddess Persephone, even if you pretend to be a human, your power is not something we humans can fight against. I don't want to have a dangerous battle with you. For your sake, I won't destroy the battleship you're on." Boat."

"you--"

Looking at Roy flying over the sea, Persephone said in a cold voice with an unhappy expression.

"You actually have a pair of wings that I don't have, but don't think that with the protection of these wings, I have nothing to do with you."

After speaking, Persephone walked up to a group of soldiers, and then grabbed the spears from the soldiers' hands and threw them at Roy.

Whoosh!
The spear thrown by Persephone struck at Roy with an astonishing sound of piercing through the air.

Looking at the spear like black lightning, Roy had a premonition of death coming.

Just when Roy felt that he would be pierced by the war spear thrown by Persephone, Roy's body was driven by instinct to dodge, narrowly dodging the spear thrown by Persephone spear.

"You actually avoided—"

Seeing Roy dodging the spear she threw, Persephone's eyes widened in surprise.

She has used the wisdom of the goddess to predict the trajectory of Roy's evasion. Normally, Roy should be hit by the spear she threw.

Did Roy accurately predict his attack?
Of course Persephone didn't know that Roy had Mnemosyne's blessing [Future Foretelling], and the body's instincts could predict future attacks and respond.

In other words, unless the enemy's attack speed far exceeds Roy's reaction speed, even the attack of the gods cannot hurt Roy's body.

"Goddess Persephone, do you really want to kill me?"

Passing by with death, Roy said dissatisfiedly to Persephone.

"I have no conflict with you. If you dare to attack me again, I swear that I will conquer your city of Tenaron."

"You stupid human being, if I wanted to kill you, you would have turned into a corpse."

Persephone snatched the spear from another soldier and said while aiming the spear at Roy.

"I just want you to be hurt as a lesson. As a god, I certainly don't bother to kill weak humans."

After speaking, Persephone threw the spear at Roy.

Whoosh!
The war spear struck with an astonishing sound of piercing through the air.

Roy dodged the spear and found that the spear thrown by Persephone did not aim at the fatal point, and could only injure himself.
