I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 399

Restricted by the rules of the gods, the gods cannot directly attack humans.

But in the territory of the gods, the gods can suppress the divine power of humans.

This is why Roy never worried that the demigod heroes or great heroes of the hostile forces would make trouble in the Athens Empire.

Even if the demigod heroes of hostile forces enter the Athens Empire, their strength will decline to the hero level under the suppression of the gods of Athens [Hundred Enemies].

If they dare to make trouble in the Athenian Empire, hundreds of heavily armed soldiers can make them subject to the sanctions of Athenian law.

In the temples and palaces that are heavily protected by the gods, the strength of demigod heroes and great heroes will be suppressed to be like ordinary soldiers.

In the mythology of another world, the demigod hero Hercules was expelled by King Elis, King Ocaria, and King Troy. Unable to exert the power of a demigod hero.

Later, Hercules was able to lead the army to kill King Elis, King Ocaria, and King Troy, because in the war between the Mycenaeans and these city-states, Zeus, the patron saint of the Mycenaeans, fought against the gods of the enemy. Only, the power of Hercules was not suppressed.

At this time on the battlefield of Milan Plain.

Jupiter unleashed his divine power, suppressing Roy's strength to the level of a great hero [A Thousand Enemy], and raising Aurora's personal soldiers to the hero level [Hundred Enemy], Roy immediately stopped rushing towards Aurora , began to take the siege of hundreds of soldiers seriously.

Because Roy's decline to the level of a great hero is just the beginning.

If the gods of the Athenian Empire did not come, under the continuous suppression of Jupiter's divine power, Roy's strength would decline to the hero level [enemies of a hundred people].

If the situation really turns into a heroic Roy confronting hundreds of heroic soldiers, there is a high possibility that Roy will be killed by Aurora's soldiers.

fortunately--

What Lowy feared didn't happen.

Before Roy called, Persephone, Hera, Luna, Vesta, Diana, and Venus came to the battlefield and surrounded Jupiter and Minerva.

Under the pressure of the six goddesses, Jupiter was forced to withdraw his divine power, and Roy's strength immediately returned to normal.

"Where are Mars, Quirinus, and Janus?"

Seeing that there were only Jupiter and Minerva, Hera teased with a playful smile.

"Why are you the only two here?"

Minerva said with a blank face.

"You really know why, all three of them left."

Mars, Quirinus, and Janus were willing to bow their heads to help Jupiter because they wanted to use Jupiter to regain the seat of the patron saint.

The war between Roy and Amrius has proved that the Etruscans cannot fight the Athenians, and Jupiter cannot defeat the Athenian gods.

Since Jupiter cannot help Mars, Quirinus, and Janus regain the throne of the patron saint, they will naturally not continue to help Jupiter.

Persephone looked at Jupiter and Minerva with sympathetic eyes and said.

"The six of us beat you two - I really can't bear this kind of thing to happen, you'd better admit defeat yourself!"

"Admit defeat—"

Jupiter said with a sneer.

"Do you want me to commit suicide? If the Athenians are willing to accept me, I can indeed admit defeat to you. But I know that the Athenians will not accept me, and will only drive me out of the throne. After I become a wandering god, if I can't As soon as I ascend the throne of the patron saint again, my divine power will continue to decline, and I will eventually disappear from this world completely."

Hearth Goddess Vesta persuaded Minerva.

"Minerva, you are different from Jupiter, you can be accepted by the Athenians just like us."

Minerva said in a cold voice with an unhappy expression.

"You want to trick me into betraying Brother Jupiter—"

At this moment, Roy said to Minerva while killing Aurora's personal soldiers.

"Goddess Minerva! Now you are just a subordinate god of Jupiter, and your authority is lent to you by Jupiter. But after you become the goddess of the Athens Empire, I will make you the guardian of every city and every place." God, your authority is entirely yours, and you will no longer be a subordinate god to other gods."

Hearing Roy's words, Minerva's face immediately revealed a shaken expression.

Now the relationship between Jupiter and Minerva is like a king and a princess.

As king, Jupiter's authority was all his own.

As a princess, Minerva's authority comes from her identity as the king's sister.

That is to say, Princess Minerva and King Jupiter are all prosperous and all damaged.

Jupiter lost the identity and authority of the king, and Minerva will lose the identity and authority of the princess.

If Minerva becomes the patron saint of one city and one place—the queen with her own territory and city-state, even if Jupiter loses her status as king, Minerva's identity and authority will not be affected.

Seeing Minerva's shaken expression, Roy continued.

"Goddess Minerva, I hope you can make a prudent choice. If you are still my enemy, the Athenian Empire will not accept you."

On the one hand, it is to become the patron saint who protects a city and a place, and has a stronger authority than now.

On the one hand, he became a wandering god, heading towards the end of gradually falling and disappearing.

Minerva hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said.

"Human! As long as you promise to make me a patron saint, I will become a god of the Athens Empire. But I have one request, that is, I cannot attack brother Jupiter."

"no problem!"

Roy responded with a smile.

"I promise in the name of the gods of Athens that I will make you the patron saint of every city and every place. After all, you and Jupiter are brother and sister, and I will not ask you to fight Jupiter."

After listening to Roy's words, Minerva looked at Jupiter with some guilt and said.

"Brother Jupiter, I'm really sorry, I don't expect you to forgive me."

"You don't have to apologize to me."

Jupiter said with a blank expression.

"Since the people of Athens are willing to accept you, you don't need to be buried with me. If the people of Athens are willing to accept me, I will make the same choice as you."

Hera summoned the black sharpshooter and said in a fighting posture.

"I thought it was six against two, but now it's six against one."

Jupiter raised his hands and released the blazing sun with a sneer.

"Whether it's six-on-one or seven-on-one, I'm not going to be a coward who runs away without a fight."

Persephone called out the black scythe and said.

"In the face of an absolute gap in strength, your resistance will only hurt you."

After speaking, Persephone first moved in front of Jupiter with super speed, and slashed with the pitch-black sickle.

Hera also brandished a black spear and rushed towards Jupiter.

Luna, Vesta, Diana, and Venus are too weak, so they can only release their divine power to attack Jupiter from a distance.

Seeing Jupiter being attacked by six goddesses at the same time, Minerva couldn't help but close her eyes.

Because there is no miracle that belongs to the gods, Jupiter can never block the attack of the six goddesses.

really--

When Minerva opened her eyes again, Jupiter's figure had disappeared from the spot.
