I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 342 The battle of the gods in full swing

The patron saints of the Kingdom of Athens, of course, not only Mnemosyne and Amphitrite can come to the Thrace region.

Just when Bendis was about to challenge Helios again, a huge shadow suddenly enveloped the ground.

When Bendis raised his head, he saw Metis descending from the sky with wings on his back. It was the wings of Metis that blocked the sun's rays just now.

Metis came to the battlefield, first glanced down at the war between humans, and then looked at Helios and said.

"It seems that you are the strongest god in Thrace, then you are the enemy I want to defeat."

"and many more--"

Bendis came to Metis again and said.

"Helios is my enemy, your enemy should be Helios' subjects."

Metis is not Amphitrite.

Hearing what Bendis said, Metis said with a dissatisfied expression.

"The strongest I should challenge the strongest enemy, do you think you are stronger than me?"

"Isn't this a matter of course?"

Bendis said confidently.

"I am the only one qualified to be an opponent with Helios."

"Guys without self-awareness—"

Metis said with a sneer.

"Then you challenge Helios and let me see if you can really fight him."

Under the urging of Metis, Bendis charged Helios with his spear.

"Prestolos! Candaon!"

Prestoros, the god of war of the Apsin tribe, and Candaon, the god of war of the Crestone tribe, whose names were called by Helios, immediately confronted Bendis at the same time.

"Don't get in the way!"

Seeing the two gods of war blocking him together, Bendis yelled angrily while attacking them with his spear.

"My opponent is Helios, not your two subjects."

Being so scorned by Bendis, Candaon said with a sneer.

"Proud Goddess Bendis! Although we are not your opponents one-on-one, you underestimate us too much. There is no need for His Majesty Helios to take action. You can't even defeat us both."

"Candaon is right!"

Prestolos agreed with Candaon while attacking Bendis from left to right.

"Bendis, you are not qualified to challenge His Majesty Helios right now, just like your Amazon tribe does not have the strength to challenge the Sun tribe."

Under the attack of the two gods of war Prestolos and Candaon, although Bendis was not defeated, he could not suppress the two gods of war.

The arrogant Bendis had to accept the reality that there is still a big gap between her and Helios.

Without the assistance of the patron saint of the Kingdom of Athens, she would have been a loser in the battle of the gods by now.

Just like Hippolyta without the help of Roy, she has been reduced to the spoils of Aeetes at this time.

Seeing that Bendis was evenly matched with Prestoros and Candaon, Metis looked at Helios and Zbelsuld, the god of thunder and lightning behind him, and Sabazi, the plant god of the Sabaz tribe. Bazios.

"The king's opponent should be the king! Since Helios is the king of the gods of Thracia, his opponent should of course be me. The two subjects of Helios, you come and help me solve them."

After Metis finished speaking, the figure of Goddess Knight descended from the sky.

Obviously, Metis was speaking to Knight.

"Are you treating me as your servant?"

After Knight asked with a smile, Metis said without hesitation.

"The city of Athens is the capital of the Kingdom of Athens. As the patron saint of Athens, I will surely become the king of the gods of the Kingdom of Athens. All the gods of the Kingdom of Athens are my subjects. What's wrong with you obeying my orders?"

"Although theoretically you will become the protector of the Kingdom of Athens, but the king of Athens pulls you down from the throne of the protector once. Will you really become the king of the gods in Athens in the end?"

Seeing the furious expression on Metis' face, Knight immediately continued.

"I don't want to start a civil war with you, so this time I will obey your orders."

After finishing speaking, Knight summoned the golden spear with his right hand, and then rushed towards the god of thunder and lightning, Zbelsuld, and the god of plants, Sabazios, like a hunting lioness.

Sabazios, the plant god, is now just a patron saint who is not much stronger than Dionysus.

But 500 years later, the tribe that worshiped Sabazios migrated to the Asia Minor peninsula to establish an agricultural city-state. As a plant god, Sabazios not only increased his authority, but was also regarded as the sun god.

After 500 years, Sabazios, the god of plants, will rise in authority. Of course, it will not change the reality that he is now a weak god.

Facing the goddess Nate who is as fierce as a lioness, Zbelsuld, the god of thunder, and Sabazios, the god of plants, joined forces to fight, but they were still suppressed by Nate.

Seeing that Helios's subjects were being suppressed by the goddesses of his own camp, Metis summoned a black gun with his right hand, and said as he walked towards Helios.

"Helios! Now your subjects are all suppressed, and you, the king of the Thracian gods, will not be able to absorb their divine power. That is to say, as my opponent, you can only exert the power of the sun. The divine power of the patron saint of the tribe."

Helios said expressionlessly.

"Even if I'm just the patron saint of the Sun Tribe, my strength is not something you can match."

"Your arrogance really resembles a certain man."

Metis glanced at Roy on the ground and said.

"I will use my strength to crush the arrogance of you men, and let you know that I am the real strongest."

"You said I was an arrogant man, aren't you also an arrogant goddess?"

"I'm stating the fact that I'm the strongest, it's not arrogance."

After speaking, Metis stabbed Helios with a black spear.

Helios unleashes the blazing fire of the sun, trying to keep Metis from approaching him.

The fire of the sun surged in front of Metis, and was immediately extinguished by Metis' divine power.

Seeing the surprised expression on Helios' face, Metis laughed jokingly.

"Couldn't you just see my wings and think I'm a god of the sky? Although I'm indeed a god of the sky, I'm also the goddess of the sea and the goddess of the earth. I can block your flames with earth as a shield, and I can quench your flames with sea water."

Helios, the sun god—

He is not only the god of light who blooms to illuminate the world, but also the god of fire that burns and warms the world.

Even in Greek mythology, the sun god Helios is regarded as the original god of fire.

In Thrace, the sun god Helios is the supreme king of the gods.

Because of the ancient times when civilization was backward, human beings at high latitudes wanted to survive the severe winter, and the only thing they could crave was the sun.

As long as the sun spreads more warmth, the hope of human beings surviving winter will be better.

Later, with the development of civilization, human beings could rely on charcoal or coal to ensure their survival in the cold winter, and the authority of the sun god Helios gradually declined.

In the current era, not only the sun god Helios, but also the sun god Mithra on the Persian plateau, the sun queen on the Asia Minor peninsula, and Jupiter in the Roman region, the sun gods in these high-latitude regions are all local supreme gods. Obviously it couldn't be a coincidence.
