Then he turned around and ran to the audience seats, and sat down with peace of mind.

Looking forward to the next trial with a smile on his face.

Nuoyan was dumbfounded.

No, for real?!

Thinking of this, Nuoyan couldn't help but look at Hera.

He subconsciously thought that the proud Hera would definitely refuse.

After all, this is an insult to her as a queen.

but......

"Judge."

Hera took a deep breath and finally looked up and met Nuoyan's gaze.

And her eyes were extremely gentle at this moment, and the smile under the veil also looked so gentle.

“My child, my beloved believer, today you have given me everything you have, and everything you have done for me so far, and your trust in me, I have always seen it and have never forgotten it.

So at this moment, I, Queen Hera, am willing to give you...

This unprecedented favor and honor!"

When Hera's voice fell, it spread in the silent pure white court.

At this moment, even Aegina, the river goddess who hated Hera to the core, was completely stunned and looked at her as if she had just met Hera today.

As for the audience seats, they were completely and thoroughly blown away.

What did we see?

A trial, and a trial created by the goddess of justice Themis herself!

And the person being judged is the most noble goddess in the world, Queen Hera.

And the god they believed in, the river goddess Aegina.

However, that's not the point.

The real point is that the person who judges all this and sits on the supreme judgment seat is not the goddess of justice Themis.

But a child... a teenager!

This young man will judge the great God in front of them? !

Chapter 23: Promise, you have brought shame to the goddess of fate!

Um...so, for real?

The sorrows, joys and happiness of different people are not the same.

He only felt a bewildering promise in his heart, and paid no attention to the noisy and shocked jury audience beside him.

Instead, after looking at Hera, the river goddess Aegina and Themis who was standing beside him holding the sword of judgment, he subconsciously turned his gaze to Athena again.

However, when he saw that the goddess' eyes were full of joy and she was in high spirits, Nuoyan realized that Athena, whom he had long labeled as a "pleasure monster" and a "trash goddess", was now completely unreliable!

So if I can't figure out the promise, I'll just give up thinking about it.

After all, what Hera just said actually reminded her of the promise.

This is an unprecedented honor.

In the court where the power of the goddess of justice Themis is gathered, he will now exercise the power of the goddess of justice and judge the gods!

Even if it ultimately fails, this matter will surely leave a brilliant mark in history.

Is it true?

The price was nothing more than being hated by these fickle goddesses, being punished, and eventually dying.

But what he would get in return would be a legend passed down through the ages, engraved on the Heroic Class Card, improving the quality of the Hero, and an epic that would allow him to ascend to the throne of Heroes!

Therefore, although he didn't understand what was going on, Nuoyan immediately became calm when he realized that he had made no loss but a huge profit.

Forget it, I don’t care what you goddesses are thinking, I’ll just judge you!

And at the moment when Nuoyan made up his mind, Themis on the side couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth slightly. Her eyes were covered with white cloth so that she could see more of her. At this moment, she saw Nuoyan's determination... although she didn't know why Nuoyan made up his mind.

So Themis spoke directly, her voice cold and without a trace of emotion:

"Queen Hera, you cast a vicious curse on this country in a fit of anger, causing disasters and plagues to shroud this kingdom at the same time, and letting death cover this kingdom, turning the originally prosperous country into a purgatory on earth. I don't know how many lives have died because of this. Is that right?"

Themis' emotionless voice echoed in the courtroom, instantly silencing the noisy jury.

Apparently, they didn't know until now who cast the curse and destroyed everything they had!

Hera did not react much when she heard this.

As mentioned before, although she knew in her heart that what she did was wrong, she actually didn't care.

Because when faced with Aegina, the river goddess who had an affair with Zeus, the only option was to destroy everything she had, making the country she cherished filled with the breath of death and like hell on earth.

Only in this way can the anger in Hera's heart be calmed.

Hera has always treated all the rivals who had affairs with Zeus in this way, and as time went on, her punishment became more and more severe. This is why she often appears as a villain in ancient Greek mythology.

So under normal circumstances, Hera would not even bother with such questions.

But because the person sitting in the final judgment was Nuoyan, Hera explained: "That's because she shamelessly seduced someone else's husband first!"

"I didn't!" Aegina gritted her teeth and defended loudly.

After hearing their speeches, the audience in the jury seats, who had originally been quiet, could not help but start communicating again.

Obviously through this conversation, these people also roughly understood what happened to these two goddesses.

Themis did not react at all. After all, this kind of thing was nothing new to the gods.

She did not continue to ask questions about this matter, but asked Aegina, "Aegina, daughter of the river god Asopus, do you know why you are standing here?"

Aegina was slightly stunned.

"Do you know that Nuoyan is a believer of Queen Hera?" Themis continued to ask.

"I know." Aegina nodded. After all, everyone could see the mark left by Hera on Nuoyan's body.

"Then do you know why he came to you?"

Hearing this, Aegina seemed to understand something. She was silent for a while before she answered, "Yes, he told me the first time he appeared in front of me. He came to help me and my people and to lift this curse."

"Since you knew all this, what did you do to this child who came to you to help you and your people and had the courage to stand before the gods he believed in?"

Aegina lowered her head for a long time before answering: "I used him, and not only that, when I saw that Hera was so concerned about the child, I immediately thought that I must kill the child in front of her.

After all, I didn't expect that he could actually get Hera's blessing.

I just wanted that evil goddess to feel the pain I felt!"

Hearing this, Hera immediately opened her eyes wide and looked at Aegina in disbelief: "What did you say?!"

Aegina, who had gotten out of all this, now reacted with complete relief.

She looked up at Hera, even smiling, and said, "Because, Hera, since you destroyed everything of mine, why can't I choose to destroy what you cherish?"

"Even though the child is innocent and you risked being hated and punished by the gods you believe in, you still chose to help you." Themis interrupted the conversation calmly.

"That's right!" Aegina raised her head and asked Themis loudly, "He is innocent, but what about my children?

They died because of Hera's curse, and their deaths were so painful. I watched them die in front of my own eyes, and I watched the kingdom being destroyed bit by bit.

They are innocent!"

"Since Hera doesn't care about all this, I ask you, why should I care!"

......ah?

So I almost died?

Should I be happy or sad about this?

After hearing this promise, I didn’t know what expression to show for a moment.

It's not just the promise. At this moment, the people of Aegina in the audience also have conflicted expressions on their faces, and they don't know what expression to show.

Although the promise and what they were entangled with were completely different things.

But Nuoyan soon felt relieved and felt that he was still happier.

After all, he thought of Athena.

The longer Nuoyan was in contact with the goddess of wisdom, the more he felt that if he died without fulfilling his promise to her, she would really go to the underworld to chase him.

But the problem is, there is no way she can find herself in the underworld!

Then when the time comes to summon the Heroic Spirit...

Nuoyan didn't dare to think about it any further.

at the same time......

She looked at the river goddess Aegina below, who had told everything and was laughing happily, and Hera, who was looking at her angrily but could not utter a word to refute.

Nuoyan once again deeply realized that in this ancient Greek era of gods, it was not just the virgin goddess who had problems.

It seems that almost all goddesses have some serious illness!

As soon as he thought of this, Nuoyan instantly noticed several gazes looking at him.

Not to mention the perceptive Athena, even Themis beside her turned her head away at this moment.

Nuoyan was so scared that he immediately stopped thinking and stopped having wild thoughts.

then......

"Quiet."

Themis tapped the ground with the sword of judgment in her hand and instantly stopped all noisy sounds in the pure white court.

After doing all this, she finally turned to Nuoyan.

And that cold voice seemed to be a little softer at this moment, saying: "Everything about Nuoyan is now presented to you, no matter whether it is right or wrong, there is no reservation.

So now is the time for you to judge!"

When Themis' voice fell, the scales of judgment that had been shaking finally stopped and returned to stability without favoring any side.

Although Hera was angry at what Aegina said, her face looked ugly and even scared, but she did not lose her temper immediately. She looked at Nuoyan who was sitting at the highest point.

Aegina was naturally the same, but the contrast between her and Hera was so obvious now that she was laughing happily instead.

The jury members also knew everything. Those who were silenced by Themis naturally turned their eyes to Nuoyan at this moment.

Now they knew why the Promise had come to their kingdom.

They knew that although Nuoyan was a believer of Hera, he still chose to bless them and stand against his goddess.

They also knew that he almost died at the hands of the goddess they admired.

Too much information has made their brains very confused, but there is only one thing they can do now, and that is... wait.

Waiting for the final judgment!

And just then...

"So what did you see that day?"

"What did your scales of judgment judge about the promise?"

Athena's voice suddenly sounded in Themis' ears.

At this moment, only Themis could hear this voice.

Themis was not surprised by this. Rather, it was a little beyond her expectations that Athena had only come to her now.

Athena smiled.

She sat in the most special audience seat in this pure white courtroom, her beautiful long silver hair falling behind her, her golden eyes quietly gazing at everything in the courtroom.

"You chose to come to this trial when it should have ended. Your intention is not hard to guess. Since you came here, you should bring absolute justice to this place. Moreover... this is indeed a good opportunity."

"Because of the promise, you were able to make Hera face what she had done in another most special way, and I guess... you must have felt some guilt over the years."
