The Warrior of Love

"Huh? Is that so?"

Alice blinked and asked curiously, "What is the choice?"

Jiang Liu smiled gently: "You know, I've never been a demanding person, and there will definitely not be an option like a nude apron - I just asked her to choose a cat ear maid outfit or a black stockings bunny girl outfit."

Chapter 567: It doesn’t matter if you wear clothes or not

Many precious historical sites outside Athens have been destroyed due to the explosion of an underground natural gas pipeline. The relevant departments are currently dealing with the aftermath and trying to salvage the remains of the cultural relics...

When this news spread quietly under the manipulation of the magicians, Jiang Liu had already set out on his journey home with Liliana, Alice and Athena, and returned to Rome after a period of travel.

The God of Light still hasn't resurrected. Although there was divine punishment and an earthquake not long ago, and an "artificial lake" suddenly appeared nearby, the Italians are optimistic and resigned themselves to their fate. Within a few days, they attributed the previous incredible events to incomprehensible supernatural phenomena and put them aside without paying any more attention.

Today, the city of Rome seems to be living a peaceful life, and it is hard to tell that a major war of gods had ever taken place there.

According to the report of "Bronze Black Cross", Tony, the King of Swords, left Rome after his injuries were under control. On the contrary, the Marquis of Vauban, whose whereabouts were previously unpredictable, unexpectedly appeared in Rome openly again.

The lonely wolf king seemed to be brooding over his defeat and was thinking about taking revenge on the God of Light.

As for how he wanted to take revenge and where his confidence came from...that was not something Jiang Liu could know.

"That's the general situation during this period."

Liliana acted as a secretary at this time, sorting out various information sent by the Magic Society for Jiang Liu, and then became a little worried.

"Given the Marquis of Vauban's persistence, he probably won't let anyone else have the chance to hunt the gods. If the king is targeting the disobedient god like him, then instead of joining forces to fight the enemy... it's more likely that they will compete with each other or even become enemies.

In the worst case scenario, the king will have to face pressure from both the Marquis of Vauban and the God of Disobedience at the same time."

"The situation is not optimistic... That old man does not look like someone who is easy to talk to."

Thinking of his previous experience with Woban, Jiang Liu shook his head.

He was an extremely self-centered and confident person. There was no way he would just let it go after suffering a defeat. He would insist on an eye for an eye in order to have his mind understood.

Therefore, Woban is basically certain to have a second battle with the God of Light, and will most likely not let others interfere.

This conflicts with Jiang Liu's plan, and Jiang Liu will never give up this battle.

A battle between Woban and Bucong would destroy the city, the situation would become worse if Woban lost, he was more likely to win than Woban, killing gods would increase his own strength... Jiang Liu had many reasons.

But there is only one fundamental reason, that is, Jiang Liu also longs for this battle!

To him, the God of Light is a rare opponent and an object that must be surpassed!

"King, what are you going to do?" Liliana asked.

"Ask him out."

Jiang Liu did not hesitate too much. After thinking through the details, he made a decision immediately.

"I have no reason to give up. Since our goals conflict, let's find a solution - whether it's fighting or negotiating, I'll accompany you!"

However, "negotiation" is a method of negotiation that is useful to rational people. For beings like the God Slayer... it is simpler and easier to understand to speak with fists.

Marquis Woban's nickname is the Devil King, not the King of Talk, so he will probably take action - that would make Jiang Liu feel relieved.

"I can't escape this battle with the Demon King after all."

The blonde Alice let out a long sigh, looking helpless yet relieved.

"But how can I explain it now... Well, I guess it's in line with the God Slayer's style. After all, you kings are still warriors at heart. Although His Excellency the King of Heroes is very gentle, but in the end... what's wrong?"

"Hero King?" Jiang Liu looked at Alice, "This title?"

"Ah, please forgive me for making this decision without your permission. I think this honorific is very suitable for your image and character... And if I'm not mistaken, the first god you killed was Hercules the Disobedient, right?"

"Oh, you guessed it?" Jiang Liu didn't mind, instead he laughed.

"After all, I have been with you for such a long time, and I also got many clues when Lady Athena fought with you before...

Hercules is a hero among heroes. You have not only usurped his power, but you have also seemingly inherited his godhood. Isn't it appropriate for you to spread your fame as the "Hero King"? "

Alice looked at Jiang Liu expectantly, and Jiang Liu nodded after hesitating for a moment, indicating that it didn't matter what she did.

Although this title reminds people of a certain rich servant, it still sounds quite impressive.

"Then let the Bronze Black Cross contact Woban and tell him that I want to discuss something with him."

Jiang Liu paused and turned his gaze to the silver-haired goddess who had been silent beside him.

"It's my turn to trouble you next, goddess."

"I am not worthy of the title of 'Master'." Athena looked at Jiang Liu expressionlessly and said indifferently, "Where in the world is there a 'Master' wearing a maid outfit?"

"It's okay if you don't want to wear it."

"Ok?"

"Although I like it, I'm not particularly obsessed with it... Since you don't like it, just don't wear it."

Jiang Liu asked her seriously, "What do you think of the bikini armor?"

Athena: "..."

"Haha, I'm just kidding. Don't look at me with such contempt and disgust. It will make me excited... cough!"

Jiang Liu's smile faded, and he said calmly, "The maid outfit is just to make you aware of the difference between master and servant. I didn't mean to humiliate you deliberately. After all, you are also a dignified god. You can wear whatever clothes you want in the future, or wear no clothes at all."

Athena looked at him in surprise, and suddenly felt a lot more relieved.

After Jiang Liu created a modified version of the Command Spell and maximized the force of the contract, she basically had no right to say "no". Athena had originally prepared herself mentally to continue to endure humiliation in the future... but she didn't expect Jiang Liu to let her go so easily.

This made her bad impression of Jiang Liu a little better, and being enslaved by him didn't seem so difficult to accept.

"Athena, I need your wisdom right now."

Jiang Liu said seriously: "Not long ago, a disobedient god descended upon the city of Rome. He was very powerful... I failed to kill him completely, and even if I did it again, I would not be completely sure.

In order to completely eliminate this disaster, I will seek help from you, the goddess of wisdom.

His real name, origin, divine nature, all information must be obtained! I believe that with your eyes, you will be able to see the truth!"

Chapter 568: The Ancient Father Tyus

As the goddess of wisdom, Athena can see through other people's personalities and abilities.

Witches like Liliana and Alice who possess the ability of "clairvoyance" have always been considered rare talents. If they can come into contact with objects that are entangled with cause and effect, it is possible to trigger clairvoyance and see the figure and whereabouts of the gods.

So who is the most powerful witch today?

It is undoubtedly Athena, the goddess of the earth!

Even those reincarnated gods cannot compare with the Queen of Gods of ancient times!

With his vast knowledge reserves and experience, combined with his wise eyes, he can even accurately deduce the godhood and inheritance.

Jiang Liu found Athena for a decisive battle, on the one hand to fulfill the original agreement, and on the other hand to use her ability to determine the true identity of the God of Light.

If we cannot obtain the true name of the God of Light and do not know his origins, then we will most likely not find a way to deal with him. Even if we defeat him again, it will only be a temporary truce, and he will come back sooner or later.

Athena had no intention of slacking off, and followed Jiang Liu to the Pantheon and the artificial lake, two places where the God of Light had appeared.

The god was summoned in the Pantheon and destroyed in the artificial lake. There is no doubt that there are causal connections between the two places, and they are quite "thick".

With such obvious cause and effect, triggering "clairvoyance" is not a difficult thing. In fact, both Liliana and Alice have tried and successfully seen each other.

Unfortunately, the God of Light was too "dazzling". They did not have the insight to see through the divine brilliance, nor could they analyze the long-standing heritage of his divinity.

Princess Alice is basically the best witch among humans of this era. If she can't see it, don't count on humans. Maybe even some gods can't do anything about it...

But Athena is worthy of being Athena, the title of the goddess of wisdom is really not just a nice sound!

What seemed like a mystery to Alice had a clear thread in the eyes of the silver-haired goddess. Although it took some effort, she was able to analyze it smoothly.

"Heh, you actually managed to provoke him? He really summoned something incredible!"

Athena sneered: "Even I have to admit that this is an extremely powerful god. It is not a wise choice to be his enemy."

"Are you sure already? That's fast."

Jiang Liu and the two witches all became serious: "Who is it?"

"Which god did you originally think it might be?" Athena did not answer directly, but asked Jiang Liu instead.

Jiang Liu hesitated for a moment and said, "At first I thought it was most likely Jupiter or Zeus."

"Well, I am close to the essence of this god, but I haven't really reached the source of the inheritance."

Athena glanced at Jiang Liu and slightly opened her cherry lips.

"Jupiter and Zeus are often considered the same god today, and it is believed that Zeus, the Greek god-king, became Jupiter after being passed on to Rome, but this is actually a wrong perception."

Hearing this, Jiang Liu and the other two nodded. They were not newbies and knew this common sense.

Roman mythology has a very serious "borrowing-ism". Basically, all the mythological stories are borrowed from Greek or Egyptian mythology, so much so that later generations often think that their mythology is just Greek mythology with a different name.

But in fact, the two cannot be completely confused. Strictly speaking, the Roman gods are not "Greek gods with changed names" but "Roman gods integrated with Greek stories."

Because before Greek mythology was introduced, Roman gods already existed and were widely believed.

It’s just that the Roman gods at that time were purely natural gods and conceptual beings, with only divine status and names, but no allusions or anecdotes related to them, which led to a seamless connection with Greek mythology later on…

As kings of gods, Zeus and Jupiter are naturally regarded as the same being, but in fact their attributes are slightly different.

"Both are ancient Indo-European father gods, and they can be said to be "brothers" in terms of inheritance, but there are many father gods as ancient as them.

You said that the one you summoned was none other than the God King Dyaus Pita, who was also from the ancient Indo-European language family like Zeus, Jupiter, and Odin!"

"Teius..." Jiang Liu frowned slightly, a little confused.

Alice and Liliana's faces changed color, and Her Royal Highness the Princess even exclaimed: "It's Tyus instead of Uranus?! I originally thought..."

Athena glanced at her, with a hint of admiration in her eyes: "You are already very good to be able to deduce Uranus. However, there are still some deviations."

"Well……"

"Tius... is from the Indian pantheon?" Jiang Liu barely remembered that this was a god from ancient India, but his fame was far inferior to that of the Three-Phase God, so he had never paid much attention to him.

"Yes, he is the sky god of India. He originally held a very important position in Brahmanism, but later lost his original authority."

Athena continued, "In myths of different systems, he should correspond to Zeus (Zues Pater) and Jupiter (Jove Pater). The three gods come from the same concept word in the ancient Indo-European language family - [Father of Heaven (Dyews Phter)].

Moreover, he is also the personification of the sky, but he is older than the other two. Although he cannot be said to be the prototype of Zeus, he is a god closer to the source of "Sky Father".

After a pause, Athena seemed to be waiting for Jiang Liu to digest this information, and then continued.

"However, although Tyus is not the prototype of Zeus, he is the prototype of another sky god - Uranus."

Athena's subsequent explanation made Jiang Liu feel as if he had suddenly realized something.

In ancient Indian mythology, Sky Father Tyus and Earth Mother Paritivi were originally one and the same being. The Earth Mother gave birth to the Indian gods in her body. Later, the Thunder God Indra separated the two, thus separating the heaven and earth and creating them, and Indra became the new king of gods.

In ancient Greek mythology, Uranus, the father of heaven, and Gaia, the mother goddess of the earth, were also one and the same. Gaia, who was oppressed by Uranus, gave the "steel (sickle)" in her body to her son Kronos. Kronos used the sickle to separate the two, which is the so-called "sickle seizure of the throne."

——It can be seen that these two myths correspond to each other.

(As for how Kronos was later usurped by his own son Zeus... that is a story that everyone knows.)

The inheritance relationship is that Tyus, the father of heaven, who appeared in the Rig Veda around 1500 BC, became the earliest prototype of the Greek god king, that is, the god Uranus, after being borrowed and spread by the Orphic sect (around 7 to 8 BC).

But later, the Indo-European gods such as Zeus, Jupiter and Odin appeared and replaced their positions.

Although Zeus is the "grandson" of Uranus in mythology, from the perspective of mythological inheritance, Zeus and Tyus (the prototype of Uranus) have the same origin, and the relationship between these two generations of gods may be closer to "brothers."

Athena concluded, "In other words, Tyus is the counterpart of Zeus and Jupiter, but is even older, and exists as the prototype of the previous god king Uranus, the "Father of Heaven"!"

Chapter 569: Pan-Second Dimensional Defense Artifact - Pants

"How is it? How does it look and feel? It doesn't look weird, does it?"

Liliana stood in front of Jiang Liu somewhat at a loss, showing off her outfit a little stiffly, her face flushed with shyness, her eyes evasive yet with a hint of expectation.

"It looks good, and it fits you well."

Jiang Liu smiled and nodded, affirming his own taste.

At this time, Liliana took off her original knight outfit and put on a fashionable and beautiful outfit.

The pure white dress paired with a sky blue knee-length straight skirt is pure yet elegant.

Its light material and simple design perfectly match Liliana's temperament. The skirt just covers the upper part of the calf, revealing half of the white over-the-knee stockings, giving people a refreshing and pure impression.
