Aegina gritted her teeth and laughed, and said this to Hera in a sarcastic and resentful voice.
If it were any other time, she would have been facing Aegina, a small river goddess who was also her love rival, who dared to be disrespectful to her.
Hera will surely bring down more severe punishment!
But Hera did not do that now. She did not even look at Aegina, because at this moment, there was only promise in her eyes.
"My child, you have given me everything you have, and all you ask for is a blessing... a blessing for this kingdom that has nothing to do with you?"
Hera, wearing a veil and with her head tilted, asked Nuoyan this.
"No, this is not unrelated to me, noble and kind Queen Hera." Nuoyan answered with the words he had prepared long ago, saying: "It is precisely because I know that you are a kind goddess that I can't ignore the disaster in front of me.
After all, I am your believer, the honorable goddess."
"So, the Queen of Heaven, please listen to my wish again. I beg you to bestow your blessing on this kingdom, so that everyone in the world will know your name and your greatness!"
Aegina shut her mouth.
Even though she hated Hera in front of her very much, at this moment, anticipation also surged in her heart.
Hera, upon hearing the promise and wish, tilted her head even more obviously.
At this moment, Hera finally understood what emotion she had just experienced. It was the joy of being trusted by the young man in front of her, and the shame of not having trusted him!
This made Hera, the noblest goddess of Olympus, feel ashamed. She could only say that she had kept her promise and fulfilled the oracle given to her from the very beginning by Athena, the goddess of wisdom who could see through everything.
Hera's doting.
"ended."
At the same time, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, who witnessed all this and was hiding among the stars in the dark night, couldn't help but reveal a satisfied expression.
As the audience member sitting in the best seat, Athena witnessed the opening, development and now climax of this drama which unfolded on a stage full of various dramas!
And with her understanding of Hera, Athena naturally knew that Hera could not refuse the promise at this moment.
She also knew that Hera would definitely flee the next second after agreeing, and would not be able to appear in front of Nuoyan again for a short period of time.
So just as she was about to stand up from the audience, walk onto the stage, replace Hera and Aegina, and walk towards the end of the stage.
"Athena, do you know why I have been standing here?"
Themis, the goddess of justice beside her, suddenly spoke up and asked Athena in her cold voice.
Athena, who was about to leave, heard this and subconsciously turned her head to look at Themis.
Athena was suddenly stunned.
Because she saw Themis... No, it should be said that at this moment, she saw the goddess of justice and judgment.
At some point, Themis raised the scales of judgment in her left hand and picked up the sword of judgment in her right hand.
Athena knew that Themis was here. After all, the injustice happening in this kingdom would naturally attract her attention.
And Themis is the guarantee that Athena prepared for her promise.
If anything unexpected really happened, her appearance would be enough to make Hera stop.
"For on the day that child came to me, I lifted up the scales in my hands and weighed him..."
'Aren't you afraid that this matter will anger the noble Queen of Heaven?'
'Why are you here and standing in front of her?'
Athena stared at Themis with her eyes wide open.
Because she finally saw it, saw this meticulous goddess, who, because of the arrival of her promise, revealed a smile that was rarely seen in hundreds of years.
"And, goddess of wisdom, do you know what I was measuring?"
After saying this, without waiting for Athena to reply, Themis took a step forward and stepped onto the stage.
Just as Hera nodded and opened her mouth to agree to her promise, she turned around and fled as Athena had expected.
The goddess of judgment, wearing a white robe, with her eyes covered with white cloth, holding a scales in her left hand and a sword in her right hand, came in front of everyone.
Then she held up the scales in her hand.
Before anyone could react, a cold voice said without a trace of rejection: "Here... there will be a trial!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Themis' power enveloped everything present.
Nuoyan only felt a dazzling white light coming, which made him close his eyes subconsciously.
At this moment, Athena was surprised by this completely unexpected development, but she finally understood.
The climax of this stage has finally arrived!
Chapter 22 He will judge, the great God!
"There should be a trial at this moment."
In ancient Greek mythology, Themis, the creator and protector of order and goddess of justice, came to the world holding the scales of judgment in her hands.
She covered her eyes with a white cloth, representing justice that would never be blinded, and announcing the coming of judgment.
Then Nuoyan's eyes were covered by white light, making him close his eyes subconsciously.
When Nuoyan opened his eyes again, he found that the original kingdom had disappeared from his sight, the night and the stars had also disappeared, and instead, a pure white court appeared.
The courtroom was filled with confused spectators.
They were the people of the river goddess Aegina, who were cursed and ravaged.
And in the audience, there were two people...or to be more precise, two goddesses standing opposite each other.
They are naturally the Queen of Heaven Hera and the river goddess Aegina.
Both of them had confusion written all over their faces, but it was not the first time Hera had seen such a scene, so she quickly focused her gaze to the side.
On the body of Themis, dressed in a white robe and meticulously holding up the scales of judgment.
Just as Hera frowned and was about to ask.
"The judged ones are Hera, the Queen of Olympus, and Aegina, the river goddess."
"Judge - Student of the Centaur Sage Chiron, promise!"
Themis, the goddess of justice, once again issued a horrifying declaration!
"Huh?!" The person who immediately exclaimed was Athena, who was standing next to Themis with an incredible look on her face.
Obviously, even the goddess of wisdom was shocked at this moment.
Then, without waiting for everyone to react, the scales of judgment in Themis' hand began to shake gently, and the next moment Hera and Aegina came to the court and judged.
Nuoyan, with a confused look on his face, put on the white robe that represented the judge, sat on the highest position of judgment, and looked at the queen and goddess below.
Nuoyan was stunned for a while, then immediately fixed his eyes on Athena.
His eyes were full of confusion and questions.
My wise goddess, what are you doing?
Athena was stunned, and some black lines appeared on her forehead.
Hey, what does that look on your face that says I'm the culprit mean?
The eye contact between this man and the goddess has not yet ended.
"Themis!" Hera's face looked extremely ugly. Even though she was wearing a veil, she couldn't hide her anger at the moment.
"What are you doing?!"
As Hera's voice fell, a dazzling lightning struck down with a loud bang, shocking the people in the audience who were also making a fuss because of the sudden change.
Hera's amber eyes stared at Themis angrily.
There was a gleam of thunder in her eyes... She was Hera, the Queen of Heaven, the most noble goddess on this continent. This was because of the unbreakable oath Zeus made to her when he proposed to her in order to win her.
Hera shared the power and honor of the god-king Zeus.
Among them, it represents the power that only the king of gods Zeus controls - thunder!
"Are you trying to judge me? Judge me... Queen Hera?!"
Hera questioned Themis harshly.
Yes, Themis is indeed an extremely special deity, the creator and guardian of order, a goddess of absolute justice who is revered and respected by all gods.
But there are always people with privileges in this world, and gods are no exception.
The ruler of this era is Zeus, who built the Olympus Temple.
Thus there were only two people, and Themis had no power to judge them.
They are the Queen of Heaven and the King of Gods.
After all, the order she created also needs to rely on the Olympus God Court.
This is why Hera is so angry at the moment...but in fact, under normal circumstances Hera would not be so angry. After all, she has always had a good relationship with Themis in private.
You should know that even the laws of marriage and the concept of family were actually created by Themis, who gave them to Hera to restrain the king of gods Zeus.
The reason why Hera is so furious now is mainly because of the sacrifice just now.
At the same time, apart from the King of Gods and the Queen of Heaven, even Hades, the God of the Underworld, and Poseidon, the God of the Sea, even though they were also displeased and angry about this, when the verdict of the trial really came upon them, they had to endure until the end of the trial of Themis.
No one has the ability to directly overturn the table like Hera at this moment.
Facing Hera's questioning and her anger, Themis was very calm... It should be said that under normal circumstances, no other expression would appear on her face.
"Hera, you are wrong. I am not the one who judges you. I have already said..."
As she said this, Themis turned around and walked up the steps at a steady pace, step by step, to the side of Nuoyan, who was sitting at the highest point of the court and watching the play.
Place the scales of judgment on the table of promises.
"The one who judges you and Aegina is Chiron's student, your believer - Promise."
As she spoke lightly, she even bent down and whispered something in Nuoyan's ear.
"Child, have less contact with Athena in the future."
Why not learn something else? Why not learn from that goddess who loves watching shows!
"Hey!" Athena called out directly, "What are you talking about? I can hear you!"
".....Wait." Hera frowned, shifted her gaze from Themis to Athena, and asked in confusion: "Athena, why are you here?"
"Ah? Ah, ah this... Hey?" Athena covered her lips with her hand and revealed an elegant, perfectly standard goddess smile.
Then, without waiting for Hera to continue asking, she climbed the stairs in three or two steps and came to the other side of the promise.
On the other side, Themis, who gave the scales to Nuoyan, now placed the sword of judgment in her hand on the ground and stood beside Nuoyan.
"Goddess Athena, this..."
Then, just when Nuoyan was confused and was about to ask Athena.
"Judge, Promise."
Athena interrupted the promise with a smile.
Her golden eyes stared at everything in the pure white court before her.
As one of the representatives of absolute wisdom, Athena naturally saw through Themis's plan.
That's right, Themis couldn't judge Hera.
But right now, at this moment, and in this matter.
He had already given Hera his all, but by some strange coincidence he had such qualifications!
The evidence is that although Hera's face was full of displeasure, the thunder in her eyes disappeared at this moment, and she actually chose to stand in front of the scales of judgment!
"..."
Nuoyan was speechless and winked at Athena.
No way, my wise goddess, are you sure this is a wise decision?!
Athena didn't answer.
She spread her hands innocently to Nuoyan and gestured to Themis beside him, who had actually made the decision.
