I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 512
In the darkness of the underworld, Roy's soul is completely unable to judge the passage of time.

Maybe a day, maybe a month, maybe a year——

After an unknown amount of time, Roy suddenly found himself surrounded by tens of millions of stars—the power of faith.

Temple of the Underworld of Persephone.

Tens of millions of starlight wrapped Roy's soul like a cocoon.

But Roy's soul couldn't interfere with these starlights, and these starlights didn't have any effect on Roy's soul.

"What a surprise!"

On the throne deep in the temple, Persephone, who was using divine power to protect Roy's body, suddenly looked in amazement at the tens of millions of stars enveloping Roy's soul and exclaimed.

"You have obtained such a huge power of faith in such a short period of time."

"This is the power of faith?"

Hearing Persephone's words, Roy said suspiciously.

"Sister Persephone, since this is my power of faith, why can't I absorb and utilize it?"

"Because you are the soul of man."

Persephone explained with a smile.

"For example, you are now like a water pipe. These powers of faith enter the water pipe from the front, and then leave the water pipe from the back. No matter how much power of faith you have, you cannot absorb it. Because your human souls You cannot absorb the power of faith, so if you humans want to become gods, you must become the subordinates of our gods and absorb the power of faith with the help of our gods. With the help of our gods, human souls will change from water pipes to Become a water cup, and can retain the power of faith that enters the water cup."

The human soul is like a water pipe, unable to retain the power of faith——

After listening to Persephone's explanation, Roy immediately pleaded.

"Sister Persephone, can you help me absorb the power of faith?"

"Of course, I will not violate your agreement with me."

After Persephone finished speaking with a smile, she stretched out her left hand and aimed at Roy's soul, injecting a golden divine power into Roy's soul.

Under the influence of Persephone's golden divine power, Roy's soul was no longer in a light state, but seemed to have a body.

Immediately afterwards, the tens of millions of starlight enveloping Roy's soul began to merge into Roy's soul.

"This is—is this the power of faith?"

As the power of faith merged into the soul, Roy was shocked to feel that his soul was undergoing an incredible transformation.

If Roy's soul was originally a water cup, absorbing the power of faith turned Roy's soul into a water cup filled with water.

When the water in the cup overflows——

The huge power of faith filled Roy's soul, and Roy's soul unexpectedly burst into golden light to illuminate the dark and lightless Temple of Persephone.

"Brother Roy...Brother Roy..."

"Brother Roy...Brother Roy..."

Just when Roy felt the change of soul, the voice of a familiar girl suddenly appeared in Roy's ear.

Roy was about to recall the owners of the voices of these two girls——

The next moment!

Roy's soul was transferred from the dark and lightless Temple of Persephone to a brightly lit temple.

Recovering from the shock, Roy found himself standing deep inside the temple—usually on the throne where the statue of the god is enshrined in the temple.

In the center of the temple in front of Roy stood Procne and Philomela, who were praying devoutly with their eyes closed.

The girl's voice that called Roy just now was the prayer from Procne and Philomela.

"Procne! Philomela!"

Seeing Procne and Philomela, Roy immediately asked in surprise.

"Tell me, how long have I been dead? How is the situation in the Athenian Empire now? Has anyone launched a rebellion to break away from the Athenian Empire? Those girls who are my wives, have any of them remarried as widows?"

Roy asked a series of questions, but Procne and Philomela didn't respond, as if they didn't hear Roy's voice.

"Procne! Philomela!"

When Roy called out to the two again, Procne and Philomela finished praying and opened their eyes.

Immediately afterwards, Roy's soul returned to the dark and lightless Temple of Persephone.

Temple of Loi in Athens.

With a haggard face, Philomela opened her eyes, looked at the statue of Loi enshrined on the throne in front of her and said.

"Sister, I seem to have heard brother Roy's voice."

"I heard it too."

Procne said calmly.

"This should be an illusion caused by our missing brother Roy too much."

Procne and Philomela left the Roy Temple, and immediately a group of noble and handsome teenagers swarmed over, blocked by soldiers protecting Procne and Philomela.

Since the death of Roy, Procne and Philomela have been the most powerful and richest widows in the Athenian Empire—and in the whole world.

Men who want to marry them can line up from the city of Athens to the port of Piraeus.

The widows who are troubled by suitors are of course not only Procne and Philomela, but also Harmonia, Nafir, Andromeda, Hartpurna and others.

Underworld.

Temple of Persephone.

Returning from the bright human world to the dark underworld, Roy's heart is full of unspeakable loss.

"Why did I go back to the underworld? Procne and Philomela couldn't hear me just now?"

"This is the hero god of mankind!"

Persephone explained with a smile on her face.

"As a hero god, you don't have any freedom of action. Only when humans pray devoutly can you come to your temple."

"Sister Persephone—"

Roy pleaded immediately.

"Can you help me? I want the freedom to move at will. I want to interfere with human beings at will, so that human beings can hear my voice and see my appearance."

"The only way to satisfy these requirements of yours is for you to have a body."

After speaking, Persephone looked at Roy's body.

"Dear brother, are you going to let me revive you, or let me hand over your body to Alina and Selene? If I revive you, you have to wait for a while. If you want to revive as soon as possible , I will hand you over to Alina and Selene. But I can only guarantee that I will not violate the agreement with you, whether Alina and Selene will violate the agreement is not something I can decide."

To leave one's own destiny to someone else's decision is undoubtedly the greatest risk.

It is the first time that Roy entrusts his destiny to Persephone.

now--

Roy faces a choice, whether to hand over his fate to others for the second time.

Just when Roy was hesitating, Selene, the goddess of the moon, suddenly descended on the Temple of Persephone.

"I'm here to pick you up."

Selene looked at Roy's soul in surprise and said.

"I didn't expect you to become a hero god with the help of Persephone in such a short period of time. Now, according to the agreement, let my sister and I help you resurrect."

Looking at Selene's beautiful face, Roy recalled Alina's gentle and sweet smile.

So Roy no longer hesitated, looked at Persephone and said.

"Sister Persephone, please give my soul and body to Selene."
