Chapter 350: I treat you as my family, why are you trying to trick me?
In front of the great temple, Loen looked at the goddess of wisdom who was surrounded by the people of Athens in mid-air, and chuckled and shook his head.
It has to be said that even gods are not immune to vanity, and Athena really enjoys the feeling of being the center of attention.
After muttering to himself, he raised his eyes, looked past the Acropolis of Athens, and gazed towards the black typhoons that stretched from sky to earth over the Sea of Oceanus, his brows gradually twisted into a knot.
Typhon and Kronos are ready to take action?
Hopefully, everything is still in time...
Amid silent murmurs, the shepherds in the square strode forward, their figures blending into a dazzling light.
~~
Sparta.
Boom boom boom boom!
Apollo stood proudly on the top of the city wall, drawing the golden longbow, his arms muscular, and shot several arrows filled with divine power in succession, completely crushing the tsunami that was advancing in parallel.
The sea water that leaped into the air fell like a heavy rain, and the ferocious sea beasts that were swept along fell into the streets of the coast, villages, and even the city-states.
These bloodthirsty beasts, as soon as they came to their senses from their dizziness, opened their bloody mouths, shook their heads and tails, and rushed around and bit.
In a blink of an eye, several nearby houses and the people who accidentally got close to them were all affected.
Suddenly, the sound of breaking beams, the muffled sound of flesh being torn apart, and the screams of dying humans as their bones and flesh were chewed into pieces, could be heard one after another.
Looking around, the coastal areas were filled with smoke and dust, and large pools of blood stained the dry earth.
In the streets and alleys, many humans as small as ants began to flee from their dilapidated houses to avoid the sea beasts that had come ashore to cause trouble.
The atmosphere of panic and chaos spread uncontrollably among the crowd.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
At this moment, the rhythmic metal sound of weapons hitting shields came from the avenue, giving the residents' panicked and fearful hearts a calm force.
Through the gaps in the alleys, the Spartans were shocked to see that their two princes, who had been urgently recalled yesterday, were holding swords and shields, leading several teams of Spartan soldiers, spreading out in all directions, methodically clearing out the sea beasts that had fallen into the city.
"First team, release your javelins!"
"Second team, raise your shields, draw your swords, and clear the battlefield!"
"Team three, clear the way and save people!"
"Priest! Where are the priests of the temple? Immediately repair the defense spells on the outer wall. We must not let these beasts enter the city in large numbers!"
“…”
Under the command of the two princes Castor and Pollux, the Spartan soldiers formed into phalanxes and acted like rotating killing machines, dismembering and slaughtering the sea beasts along the way one by one.
Princess Helen, dressed in a golden battle suit, led the temple's priests and priests to carry out long-range ritual suppression and magical support.
Soon, the sticky body fluids of marine creatures and the smell of blood spread as the Spartan phalanxes cleared out the air.
After the initial panic, the Spartans gradually calmed down their anxiety and awakened the courage in their bodies.
The young and strong men returned to their houses, took down their shields and javelins from the walls, and armed with bows and arrows and long swords, they formed groups of three or five and spontaneously cleared out the escaped fish in the streets and alleys.
Even after all the monsters in the city were dealt with, the young and middle-aged men were in high spirits and poured out of the gate in groups, rushing to the affected villages and towns to actively complete the hunt.
This is a city of warriors with tough folks, and 70 to 80 percent of the population are young and strong. Once it stabilizes and has a backbone, it can be quickly transformed into a powerful war machine.
~~
Arcadia.
"You are the Silver Rapid Shooter!"
Artemis pulled the bowstring to its full extent and chanted solemnly. Silver arrows flew through the air to form a magic array. One became two, two became four, and in an instant it became tens of millions, forming a dense rain of light. Thousands of magical beasts that escaped from the mountains were nailed to death on the spot.
Then, the city gates opened, and the newly appointed Queen Atalanta drove the golden-horned deer chariot given by her own god, led the twenty fighting nymphs who grew up with her, and the God's Blood Guards assembled in the city, and launched a charge.
The group of monsters, which had already encountered a wave of arrow rain, were easily pierced, divided and annihilated.
"Priests and priests, prepare the descent ceremony immediately and summon the forest gods and water fairies in the mountains. I want to know the types, numbers and movements of all the magical beasts in the Arcadia Mountains! Once a complete beast nest appears, mark the location for me immediately!"
Artemis on the top of the city pulled the bowstring and gave decisive orders, and the priestesses of the Moon Temple began to prepare without stopping.
The Hermetic alchemists, Dionysians and Eleusinians in the city also climbed up the city walls with ease and took on tasks such as defense, magical support, and logistical treatment.
After experiencing the beast disaster, all this became commonplace for them.
Thebes.
As the holy place where Dionysus appeared twice, Dionysus has long been the main object of worship in this city.
Facing the huge waves rolling in from the coastline, an overturned golden cup emerged from the sky. The scarlet wine turned into golden divine liquid and poured onto the ground, forming a dazzling curtain wall of light to keep the surging waves out.
Then, amid the rich aroma of wine, the nine Muses and the three Graces came dancing, and together they composed sharp words, played high-pitched war songs, and killed the sea beasts that fell from the waves and wind outside the city one by one.
At the same time, the stars fell, and King Minos' fourth daughter, Phaedra, led dozens of Dionysian women and a group of Dionysian believers from Mount Areopagus, climbed up the city wall, and assisted the Thebans in guarding the defense line.
Corinth.
Hermes, the god of commerce and fraud, stood on the top of the city wall, raised his caduceus, melted rocks, built a barrier, and blocked the huge waves from the sea, which caused the Corinthians to cheer.
Hearing the praise like waves, a satisfied smile appeared on Hermes' face.
Their king, Sisyphus, cheated Death and was the smartest and most rebellious human being.
Their people were known for their cunning and eloquence, and were despised by the surrounding city-states;
Their commerce was prosperous and developed, and they were good at trading and communicating;
This is the city-state that is most suitable for him to develop into a holy land, except for Arcadia.
After such a long period of hard work, my faith has finally taken root here.
Surrounded and worshipped by the Corinthians, the alchemists of Hermes walked up to the city walls and began to methodically construct rituals to clear out the sea monsters that were thrown ashore outside.
Serifos Island.
The goddess of love Aphrodite and her lover Adonis piled up foam on the coast and promoted the growth of plants, barely blocking the raging waves on the sea.
Although it was difficult to deal with, for the two gods, attacks of this magnitude were still within their ability to withstand.
City-states such as Eleusis, Calydon, Thrace, and the Etna Islands also began to gather troops to deal with the disaster under the call of their respective gods and heroes of divine blood.
But not all prayers of city-states can be answered.
Meanwhile, Thessaly.
Katniss raised her arm shield with her left hand and smashed a serrated flying fish, causing its brain to splatter. She swung the spear forward with her right hand and nailed a tens-meter-long sea snake to death with a whistling sound. She pulled the kelp off its head with some disgust and started forward.
The King of Thessaly, who was driving the bronze chariot, braked the reins and stopped after he dealt with the last sea monster in front of him.
Telamon, who was acting as the co-pilot, jumped out of the car, pulled out the spear that was inserted into the sea serpent's magic core, and threw it back into Katniss's arms.
"The battle isn't over yet, don't throw weapons around."
"Tsk, you don't need to teach me this, how about the sea?"
Katniss took the spear casually, looked at the foggy sea, and asked impatiently.
Telamon looked at the Oceanus Sea, whose waves were gradually becoming gentler, and spoke with a hint of relief.
"It's not a big problem. Fortunately, we didn't let these sea beasts and floods enter the city, otherwise Thessaly would be in trouble."
"Should we also thank His Majesty the Sea King?"
Katniss snorted unhappily, her eyes swept across the mermaid prince Triton who was helping to calm the waves and eliminate the sea monsters on the top of the Thessaly city wall, and the mecha god Ares who was on guard beside him, then looked at the other two empty seats and couldn't help but frowned sarcastically.
"He didn't do what he should do, and now he's asking outsiders for help. Why don't we just change the temple to worship Poseidon?"
“Don’t be disrespectful to the Father!”
King Admetus' eyelids jumped when he heard this, and he quickly scolded in a low voice.
However, the hot-tempered Katniss didn't care about her blasphemous behavior and continued to taunt.
"You treat him as God the Father, but he doesn't treat us as his people!"
“Father God must have a deep meaning for doing this…”
"There's no deep meaning behind this. It's obvious that he doesn't want to care about our lives!"
Katniss rudely interrupted her king who was trying to save Zeus's reputation, pointed at the empty space on the top of the city wall, and scolded him without any politeness.
"See? He even called his son back. Do you expect him to show up?"
"Isn't the matter already resolved? Don't worry about it so much..."
Telamon on the side quickly tried to smooth things over and ease the atmosphere.
Katniss rolled her eyes at Telamon and snorted unhappily.
"We have stopped the tsunami this time, but who knows if there will be a next one. We can't always have to look at the faces of Poseidon's family, right?"
Just as the hero of divine blood was complaining, a dull roar came from the Sea of Oceanus. Under the spreading thunderstorm clouds, a new typhoon gathered dozens of huge waves and rolled towards the entire Peloponnese Peninsula.
“…”
Telamon and King Admetus looked at Katniss, whose words had come true, with resentment in their eyes.
This crow's mouth is really not effective for good but effective for bad.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I'm here to help you!"
Triton on the city wall stepped forward, decisively picked up his sacred conch, and blew it with all his might.
The Temple of Poseidon is professional in dealing with tsunamis.
As long as Thessaly can be helped to resist this crisis, the belief in Poseidon, the god of the sea, will be accepted in Thessaly.
Zeus gave up on such a great pass, what a waste of resources.
While Triton was mocking his uncle the King of Gods' character in his heart, he was also imagining the praise his father Poseidon would give him after he conquered this territory, and at the same time he played the conch shell even harder.
However, the dark blue ocean divinity that the mermaid prince had fully activated was instantly torn apart the moment it touched the red and black typhoon.
In the series of thunderstorms, a huge monster with hundreds of dragon heads on its head and its body as black as ink showed a hideous and terrifying outline in the dark clouds and strong winds.
Triton, whose divinity backfired, felt a sweetness in his throat and his pupils trembled violently.
—Typhon!
The gods and heroes of the city-states who also sensed the terrifying aura also changed their expressions.
The Demon Ancestor is coming ashore!
