Chapter 392 The Gap Between Gods and Humans
Just as the sun god, the sun god can become the supreme god above the gods.

But the moon god is different. Usually, he needs to possess other godheads to become a powerful god above the gods.

For example, in the Asia Minor peninsula in the far east, the true authority of the Moon Goddess comes from her war godhead.

Bendis, the goddess of the moon in Thrace, also became a powerful goddess independent of the sun god Helios because of her status as a goddess of hunting with the attribute of war.

On the Apennine Peninsula, Minerva, the moon goddess of the Etruscans, only has the identity of the moon goddess, so Minerva is not an independent goddess, she is the younger sister and subordinate god of the sun god Jupiter.

As a wandering deity, Luna, the native moon goddess of the Apennine Peninsula, has not been endowed with other godheads besides the moon godhead by humans.

Therefore, Luna, the goddess of the moon, is not powerful. This is why Roy dared to challenge Luna.

When the moon goddess Luna attacked Hera with a wooden spear, Roy ran to Luna and said loudly.

"Luna, the goddess of the moon, let me be your opponent. If you can defeat me, I will enshrine you as the patron saint of the Athens Empire."

After finishing speaking, Roy swung the iron gun and swept towards Luna's right ankle.

Luna backed away from Roy's attack, then looked down at Roy and asked.

"Are you serious about what you just said?"

As the local god of the Apennine Peninsula, Luna certainly knows how powerful the gods and humans in the Apennine Peninsula are.

The Athenian Empire has powerful weapons like a dimensionality reduction strike. Even if it cannot conquer all of the Apennines, it can conquer half of the Apennines.

Such a powerful Athens Empire is willing to accept Luna, and Luna has no reason to refuse.

After all, neither the Sicurs nor the Latins or the Sabines regarded Luna as a patron saint, and the Etruscans even had their own moon goddess Minerva.

If Roy gave enough chips, even if Luna was asked to attack Quirinus, who is also a local god, Luna could accept this request.

Seeing that Luna was moved by her conditions, Roy said with a smile.

"I don't like joking! As long as you can defeat me and prove that you are a goddess worthy of my respect, I will make you one of the gods of the Athens Empire."

"Then you are doomed."

Luna said confidently.

"Although gods and human beings live in the same world, they are beings of different dimensions. Even if I don't have a god seat—the lowest level of wandering gods, I am a real god. Even if you have been The strength is strengthened to the limit of human beings, your essence is still human, it is impossible for you to break the dimensional boundary between humans and gods and defeat me."

After speaking, Luna brandished a wooden spear and stabbed Roy.

Without showing any sign of weakness, Roy used his iron spear to meet the attack.

Clang!
The blade of Luna's wooden spear collided with the blade of Roy's iron spear.

The next moment, Roy's body began to retreat involuntarily.

As Roy stepped back, he stared at Luna incredulously.

I didn't expect that there would be such a huge gap in divine power between myself and Luna, and I couldn't even block Luna for a moment.

Even a human baby who can't stand still can use its weight to hold a cat immobile——

This is the case with the strength gap between Roy and Luna.

Sky Wings--

Since his divine power could not match Luna, Roy changed his strategy and summoned his own wings.

flap!flap!
The wings on his back fluttered, and Roy's body left the ground and flew into the sky at a high speed.

Just when Roy was about to attack Luna's beautiful neck, Luna's body suddenly disappeared.

"If I continue to maintain the gigantic figure of a god, you may seize the opportunity to stab me, so I will fight you in a human form!"

Luna's voice suddenly sounded behind her, and Roy turned around in an instant, and saw that Luna had turned into a human girl, and her huge wooden spear had become only two meters long.

After looking at Roy, Luna showed a bright and beautiful smile, and then flew to Roy with super speed, brandishing a wooden spear and attacking like a storm.

Roy tried his best to avoid Luna's attack, and only then did he realize the gap in strength between himself and Luna.

Perhaps in order to avoid killing Roy, Luna did not use all her strength at this time.

After all, if Roy is killed by Luna, he will not be able to fulfill the promise just now and regard Luna as the patron saint of the Athens Empire.

As if seeing through Roy's thoughts, Luna said suddenly.

"Now I have used all my strength on you, but your speed is too fast, so I always miss you."

"If you're not lying - although I can't fight the lowest level of gods, I can escape from you!"

Although a human baby can use its body weight to hold the cat immobile, but the cat wants to escape from the human baby, and the human baby will never catch up with the cat.

Facing such a result, Roy could only say with a wry smile.

"Goddess Luna! I am very satisfied with your performance. I will enshrine you as the patron saint of the Athens Empire as promised. Now you go to help Goddess Hera."

"no problem!"

After Luna agreed to Roy's request, she turned back into a [-]-meter-tall deity, and then waved a wooden spear to attack Quirinus together with Hera.

Even in a one-on-one fight with Hera, Quirinus could barely remain undefeated.

Now Luna also came to attack Quirinus, who was immediately defeated by Hera and Luna and was forced to flee from the battlefield.

After Quirinus fled the battlefield, Hera not only did not thank Luna for her help, but stared at Luna coldly and said.

"Meddling my own business! I can defeat Quirinus without you."

Luna tactfully lowered her posture and explained.

"I'm fulfilling the emperor's request. I'm very sorry for making you unhappy."

At this time, the war between the gods is over, but the war between humans is still going on.

Seeing that Caesar had been unable to lead the Athenian soldiers to defeat the combined forces of Metius and the Sabines, Roy, impatient, decided to join the war.

After all, every second that this war lasted, Athenian soldiers were injured or even died.

Caesar could not care about the sacrifice of the soldiers of Athens, but Roy could not.

Because the Athenian soldiers were not Caesar's soldiers, they were Roy's soldiers.

Like a tiger, Roy jumped into the two flocks of sheep, and came directly to Caesar and Metius who were fighting, and knocked Metius to the ground with the barrel of the iron gun.

Before Metius stood up from the ground, Roy pressed the blade of the iron spear against Metius' neck and threatened.

"Metius, I order you to surrender. If you refuse to surrender, my blade will kill you."

"I don't agree!"

Facing Roy's threat, Metius said loudly.

"I am fighting Caesar, and you defeated me with a nasty sneak attack. I demand a fair one-on-one fight with you, and I will surrender to you only if you defeat me in a fair fight."

"You asked for a one-on-one fight on the battlefield?"

Roy looked at Metius with the eyes of a fool and said.

"If you're really hopelessly stupid, then I don't need your surrender."
