"According to the setting, women are not allowed to approach the Styx. It's impossible for Shiyu to go and get the information by herself. That's too dangerous. It's fine to give the second step of the mission to Ye Shan and the others. Since the mission requirements are so harsh, combined with the setting that Perseus is so weak, Medusa can't be much stronger. They can't complete it without interference, so we deserve to be wiped out."
"Boom..."
A loud noise interrupted Yukino's thoughts, causing her to focus her attention on the temple in front of her again. The statue of Athena was pushed over by the soldiers, and under the violent impact, the head of the sculpture fell off and rolled to the feet of the middle-aged bearded man.
The people were silent, and their high emotions turned into timidity and fear at this moment.
Until the middle-aged man raised his leg and stepped on the head.
"Wow—"
Suddenly, deafening cheers rang out, and people raised their arms and cheered, venting their long-suppressed emotions. Some of them even shouted Poseidon's name.
"What happened to you over there?"
Yukino looked at this group of fools and sneered, "Just some interesting things happened."
The lowest class of people are always ignorant and stupid. They are always short-sighted and only follow the crowd without thinking. Even if there are wise and brave people who stand up, they will exclude them as aliens.
Just like when a fire breaks out, people always rush to where there are more people. As long as everyone thinks it is right, then it must be right. The people in power control information, and what the people at the bottom want to know must be what the people in power want them to know.
For example, now, with just some inducements, they will turn their hateful eyes to the savior, forget the cruelty of the abuser, and show goodwill or compromise with him... However, these two gods are not good people.
"I don't know what the Cross Falconers are thinking. Until now, I still can't understand their behavior and mission."
"But they are very good at incitement, instigation and brainwashing?" Kitahara Sora responded.
"That's because you weren't there. I feel that this is full of loopholes and extremely embarrassing. They can only deceive these ancient people... Although they are from the same nation as the demon, not everyone has that kind of gift for public speaking."
Yukino frowned, and a hint of icy blue light of natural disaster escaped from her pupils.
"They first infiltrated the parliament and killed several of the most powerful nobles, then transformed themselves into their appearances and replaced them. Over the next three days... they began to gather troops, destroy the Temple of Athena throughout Athens, and spread bad words and rumors about Athena, trying to make the people abandon their beliefs and submit to Poseidon."
"Are they from Poseidon's camp?"
"I thought so at first, but later I rejected this idea. They, like us, should belong to the human camp."
Yukino narrowed her eyes and said softly, "The 'login point' for the God camp must be at the temple, just like the team you encountered. They were in Hell from the beginning, and their captain is still with Hades now."
"There are four of them in total. They never left Athens from beginning to end, but they are inciting people to 'betray their faith'. What the hell are they doing?"
Kitahara Sora's voice in the headset sounded somewhat doubtful.
If this is the case, the war of the gods will definitely start. Shouldn't they unite humans to fight against the gods? What is the operation of getting the Athenians to convert to Poseidon?
"We should know their purpose soon."
Yukino felt as if something was blocking her heart, and there was a very strong feeling that was about to burst out, but in the end she was still just a little bit away from remembering it.
In mythology, Poseidon is an extremely ambitious god, whose desire for power is stronger than any other god. In fact, he once had the dangerous idea of overthrowing Zeus' rule and taking the throne himself.
Why were the Athenians so incited? Because according to legend, Athena once fought with Poseidon for the ruling power of this city-state, and Poseidon was defeated in the end.
That's why Poseidon would occasionally stir up a tsunami or occasionally use big waves to swallow up some fishing boats. He was not taking revenge on people, but making Athena unhappy.
Is Athena a good person? Medusa was the most beautiful woman in the world at that time. When Poseidon heard about her beauty, he came to her and planned to take her into his harem. After being rejected, he planned to force her.
So Medusa ran to the Temple of Athena to ask for asylum, but Poseidon raped her in the temple. When Athena found out, she not only did not sympathize with her, but instead thought that she was having an affair with her uncle and was doing something shameful in her own temple.
Who is Athena? In the myth of Olympus, whose private life is extremely bizarre, she is one of the few blue lotuses.
As one of the three pure virgin gods, that kind of thing is what I hate the most.
How could she tolerate someone defiling her temple? She cursed Medusa to become a snake-haired demon. Since you are so beautiful, I will turn all the men who see your face into stone, so that you can seduce men.
One is a virgin goddess who is surrounded by thousands of halos but is actually extremely jealous and cannot tolerate a grain of sand in her eyes. The other is a sea god who is extremely eager for power and desire and has strong ambitions. The uncle and nephew don't like each other.
So, the people of Cross Falcon are instigating a civil war among the Protoss? That's impossible. How can it be so easy to just start a war?
Athena is the goddess of wisdom, how could she be so stupid? How could she not know that Poseidon had been venting his emotions in Athens from time to time over the years? In fact, she was just deliberately ignoring it and letting her uncle lose his temper.
If you don't want to provoke, why do you want to mislead the people...
Xueno's brows darkened, but the next second, her attention was attracted by the scene at the entrance of the hall.
Next to the middle-aged bearded man, a young woman walked out. She had big, bright blue eyes under her brown natural curly hair, the same color as the sea.
She has a straight nose, rose-like lips, and slightly curved mouth corners... seductive and charming.
The woman's snow-white skin was covered with a long linen dress, but it could not hide her graceful figure at all, and her sensitive areas were vaguely visible as her body moved.
In this age where body is considered beautiful, people do not know what shame is, so she intentionally or unintentionally pulled one side of her skirt open, exposing one side of her chest naked to the air.
"She..." Yukino looked at the woman in confusion.
She is the psychic of Cross Falcon. All members of their team have the ability to transform at will, and that woman is the psychic of their team.
"My daughter, the most beautiful woman in Athens..."
The middle-aged man took the woman's hand, and the woman lowered her head slightly with a shy and happy expression.
"Today, she is no longer my daughter. She is a sacrifice to the sea. She will be the wife of Poseidon. Pray! Call Poseidon's name in a low voice, and pray that he will appear to welcome his wife who belongs to the sea and his people."
Thousands of people raised their heads and stretched out their hands to the sky.
Yukino, who was at the edge, also raised her hands, but she did not close her eyes. Instead, she stared at the cliff behind the temple...
"Boom—crash—"
Suddenly, a huge wave hit the rocks with a deafening sound, and the splashing water jumped hundreds of meters high, covering the temple of Athena!
At this moment, Xue Noi finally reacted suddenly and murmured in a low voice: "So that's it..."
They used the prayers of all Athenians to lure Poseidon out from the bottom of the sea, and their mission artifact was... the trident!
The most effective way to provoke a war between humans and gods is to make Zeus furious. They want to kill the gods!
The girl lowered her head slightly, her eyes flickering, with a hint of dangerous and exciting light in her eyes.
"Things are getting more interesting. Do you want to get involved?"
Chapter 42 Kill her, kill her, kill her!!!
The originally calm sea surface began to become restless, with surging waves hitting the cliffs one after another. The sound of the whistling waves reached the ears of everyone present. Those who had low psychological endurance had their legs trembling and were shaking.
The army in the front was still in uniform, and although there were no big moves, many of them were secretly spitting.
"Boom---"
Suddenly, with a deafening roar, huge waves hundreds of meters high rose from the bottom of the cliff like a flood and tsunami, and hit the top of the temple, submerging the entire temple.
As the earth trembled, the rocks on the cliff edge could be torn apart under the weight. Then, everyone was stunned...
When the waves dissipated, a dull sound of collapse was heard, and the area where the temple was located was torn apart like a landslide. The crack began to spread along the noble who was giving the speech. The next second, the entire temple fell into the sea with a "boom" sound, along with the piece of land.
"Lord of the Sea, great Poseidon, I beg for your protection!"
The bearded man became excited. He took two steps back and bowed down to the sea with the nobles around him!
At this moment, shouts like overwhelming waves resounded through the sky, and all the people gathered here, including the soldiers, knelt down in unison.
The true God was about to come, and the merciful Lord of the Sea accepted their worship. At this time, no matter how devout they were to Athena, they no longer had the thought of resisting.
They were either excited, or thrilled, or trembling with fear.
Everyone lowered their heads, closed their eyes, and chanted a prayer softly...
And Yukino, who was at the back, also knelt on one knee to avoid being discovered, lowered her head and whispered something.
"Just like the king of Argos, who had decided to rise up against the gods, but when Hades arrived at the palace, he acted like a servant. When faced with something that cannot be resisted, people will subconsciously choose to surrender, not to mention their own brothers who created them."
Yukino raised her head carefully, glanced quickly, and then quickly lowered it.
A huge wave that covered the sky and the sun rose from the sea level. The wave was like a row of steps extending to the sky, hanging in the air and giving people a feeling of a canopy.
Dolphins swam back and forth in the waves, like naughty elves in the sea, cheering and paving the way for their masters. They jumped out of the water and plunged into the sea like carps leaping over the dragon gate, leaving behind light and pleasant calls echoing in the sky.
"When they saw their master, they immediately forgot that the ruler's goal was to overthrow God's tyranny. People are so small, and the Creator is so great and brilliant."
A huge rainbow stretched from east to west, connecting the entire Athens area. The huge wave steps, hundreds of meters wide, began to change shape in the surge, and with a series of neighing sounds, they turned into countless galloping horses.
At this moment, a sense of oppression like a large army approaching the front came from the front, making people hold their breath...
The old master's temples were all destroyed, and her faith had disappeared from Athens at this moment, replaced by the new master.
Solemn, majestic, magnificent and beautiful, this is the handover ceremony of the master of the ocean, and it must be the most decent and grand ceremony.
"In all myths, gods are overthrown by humans. The fall of some gods seems epic, while others seem like a joke... For example, the main god of the Nordic countries who was bitten to death by a dog, no matter how high and mighty he was before."
Xueno raised her head cautiously, her blue eyes fixed on the cliff in the distance.
Amidst the galloping of thousands of horses, eight pure white celestial horses gradually appeared in sight. They had wings on their backs and no trace of other colors on their bodies. They were so dazzling among the horses gathered in the blue sea water...
As the Pegasus galloped, a ray of golden light came into view. The dazzling light was so blinding that even if one lowered their heads and closed their eyes, it still made them feel extremely blinded, and it also caused Yukino to squint her eyes slightly.
It was an extremely gorgeous chariot made of pure gold, with sea waves and palaces carved on it. On the chariot stood a handsome old man with white hair and beard and naked upper body.
The old man's upper body was muscular, his chest was covered with blue tattoos, and his lower body was only surrounded by a piece of white silk.
On his head he wore a crown carved from sapphires, as crystal clear as the sea, and in his hand he held a dark golden trident. His eyes, emitting a sea-blue glow, swept down, looking down at the people kneeling on the ground with an attitude of looking down on the world, showing the power of a king.
After a moment, Poseidon withdrew his gaze and looked at the group of people kneeling at the front of the cliff.
This strong old man is the master of the sea, Poseidon, the god of the sea.
After seeing his face clearly, Yukino lowered her head cautiously, and her appearance was full of special effects, looking very decent.
"You have blasphemed God."
Poseidon spoke, and a roar like raging waves sounded in his mind. The people who were originally kneeling on the ground began to tremble more and more violently, and half of them even prostrated themselves on the ground, so humble that they wished they could bury their bodies into the ground.
"Even though you hate your niece, you still want to save the face of the God Clan and take over legitimately?"
As the girl muttered in astonishment, a slightly teasing response sounded in the headset, "This is in stark contrast to the previous script narration. It should be said that although it goes against the philosophy of the Goddess of Wisdom, the majesty of the gods cannot be desecrated."
Yukino pursed her lips and cut off the call directly, not bothering to pay attention to Kitahara Sora's complaints in the headset. What's wrong with reciting the lines? Only you are allowed to be a middle school student, but others are not allowed to have bad taste occasionally? Say whatever you want.
"Those who blaspheme the gods will be punished accordingly." Poseidon pointed his trident at the people kneeling on the ground, and said in a stern and solemn voice, "Mortals, I will punish you on behalf of the goddess of wisdom."
"boom--"
The waves became turbulent again, and thousands of war horses began to neigh. They raised their forelimbs and galloped in the air, as if they were about to launch a charge in the next second. The world-destroying tsunami would swallow all of Athens into the sea!
"No, great Lord of the Ocean, respected Poseidon, our master, we, your servants, have never blasphemed. We are your most loyal supporters."
Finally, the bearded man raised his head and looked up at his new master. His affectionate eyes were filled with turbid tears, as if he had endless bitterness and pain that he could not express.
Poseidon did not answer, but just stared at him coldly. The bearded man understood and cried with tears in his eyes: "Athens should have belonged to you thousands of years ago, and we should also belong to your servants."
The great sea god's expression remained the same, he still did not answer, he seemed to be suppressing his anger, but also seemed to be waiting for his next words.
"She took us from you, made us obedient, forced our love, but never cared about us."
The bearded man stood up, with his right hand against his heart. "What she gave, you can also give. What she gave us, we will return double. We pray for her every day and build a shrine for her, but she only cares about taking. And those temples and statues should belong to you."
"We are just doing what we should do. We are repenting. We are sinful. We have never prayed to you, but have been endlessly trying to gain your favor. Please forgive our sins and let us return to your embrace."
"Um……"
Poseidon put down his trident and groaned, and the horses gathered by the sea water gradually calmed down from their anxious state. The frown on the sea god's brows relaxed slightly, and he seemed to be thinking about something.
Everyone was lying on the ground, they were so nervous that they didn't even dare to breathe hard. The girl in the distance sighed in her heart, and in order to avoid being too conspicuous, she had no choice but to lower her body again.
This well-founded provocation was completely unpretentious, and Poseidon did not stop it? He disliked Athena the most. Seeing the people of the goddess of wisdom saying this about her, the Lord Poseidon must have laughed his ass off in his heart.
But what was Athena doing? Her temple had been destroyed and her statue decapitated and trampled underfoot. Could she not be unaware?
According to her temperament, shouldn't she come down to earth and kill these people immediately? After all, Medusa was cursed for doing that kind of thing in her temple, but these people demolished all the temples.
Athena has a really good temper.
Yukino nodded slightly and praised the Goddess of Wisdom in her mind.
But, then what?
The old man in the distance has always coveted the control of Athens, but he doesn't want to offend his niece too much, so does he have to do this kind of superficial work?
After all, Athena is not only the goddess of wisdom, but also the goddess of war. She is also the most capable fighter among the twelve gods except Zeus.
But then again, no matter how mortals make a fuss, whether they want to change their master or destroy the temple, it would be fine if you didn't show up, but once you show up, it means that you have completely torn your face with Athena, right? In this case, why bother sticking to the surface?
Yukino shook her head helplessly. To use Kitahara Sora's words, it was like "being in both the position and the responsibility".
"We have been asking for you, but Athena does not allow us to pray to you. And you are merciful and only punish us slightly. You love us, and we beg you to let us return to your arms."
The bearded man became excited and said with tears in his eyes: "Athens has been on the coastline since its establishment. We were born and raised by the sea. The gifts of the sea nourish us, allowing us to grow and survive..."
