Chapter 185: Can you play without cutting?
"The goddess of discord? I see."
Luo En suddenly realized and looked at the famous female god of disaster in front of him with amusement.
Eris, the goddess of discord, is the sister of the god of war Ares and the daughter of Zeus and Hera in the Iliad. She spreads pain and hatred between the opposing sides. She was the one who single-handedly led the "Golden Apple Incident" that caused the Trojan War, involving countless heroes and gods in that dispute and killing each other.
And Lorne roughly understood the reason why she appeared in Thebes and tempted King Pentheus to commit suicide.
It's simple, because the builders of this city-state were the dragon slayer Cadmus and his wife, the goddess of harmony Harmonia.
As goddesses of harmony and coordination in Greek mythology, Harmonia and Eris are natural enemies.
Now, Cadmus, who had abdicated, and his wife Harmonia, had both turned into dragons and disappeared due to the curse of the gods. Thebes, which had lost its protection, was like a delicious cake to Eris.
Torturing the descendants of her old enemy Harmonia on her territory and stirring up strife in the sanctuary of harmony were simply a treat that the petty-minded Eris could not refuse.
Unfortunately, the headstrong Pentheus became the first person to be bewitched.
Therefore, he arrested many followers of Dionysus, not even sparing his own mother and sisters, and personally created chaos in his own country.
Moreover, Loen himself is also the descendant of Harmonia, the goddess of harmony.
In a sense, he and Eris, the goddess of discord, are also enemies.
Seeing that this method of negotiation had yielded a lot of useful information, Loen smiled slightly and shook his head in a reserved manner to decline.
"Thank you for your favor, but I'm sorry, I already have someone I need to serve - Lady Hestia, the Goddess of the Hearth."
"So what?"
The red-haired female evil spirit remained unmoved and spoke proudly.
"As long as you agree, I can get the Father to nod his head!"
Can she convince Zeus?
Luo En narrowed his eyes, his heart trembled, and he immediately overturned his previous guess.
If according to the records in "Iliad", she was just the sister of the god of war Ares and the daughter of Zeus and Hera, she would never have such confidence and ability.
After all, even Zeus himself had to be courteous to Hestia.
It was a pipe dream for a mere daughter to rebel against Tian Gang and let Zeus offend Hestia for her.
At this moment, Loen's thoughts raced, and he suddenly thought of another record in "Theogony" and "Works and Days".
——Eris is also called Enyo, she was born from the death and blood of Nyx...
At the same time, a passage that Loen had read in the Temple of Memory also emerged in his mind.
"Enyo took pleasure in war, and even refused to support either side in the war between Zeus and the monster Typhon, so that the war would drag on and never end. Enyo took pleasure in the constant casualties of the war. In the battle, the goddess of discord Eris (Enyo) escorted Typhon, while the goddess of victory Nike led Zeus. In the thunder and lightning rain from the sky, the fair Enyo maintained the balance of power between Zeus and Typhon..."
Here, the names of Eris and Enyo appear at the same time, which means that the two sides are originally confused.
Moreover, this goddess of discord does have the power that makes Zeus wary. It is not surprising that during the [Golden Apple Incident], a certain god king simply abstained and did not dare to judge the topic of "who is the most beautiful goddess".
Now, Eris's identity is about to be revealed.
Like the three goddesses of fate of necessity and Hecate of chance, who also evolved from Nyx, she is also an extension of the will of the goddess of night, and after the Battle of Typhon, she stood on the side of Olympus.
However, compared to the first two, although Eris has a high status, the authority she inherits is more scarce.
Combined with the fact that she called Zeus "Father God", it is very likely that after the Battle of Typhon, she was seriously injured by the trouble she caused, and was subsequently recruited by Zeus, and with the help of Hera's womb, she completed her reincarnation.
Moreover, after experiencing the major nerfs in the above versions, she has now fallen to the point where she is quarreling with Harmonia, the goddess of harmony among the fourth generation of gods on a daily basis.
No rush, play with her first.
Luo En looked at the mysterious female god of disaster, put on a curious look, and asked carefully.
"I have a question, I hope you can answer it."
"explain."
"With your status, why do you want to make trouble with Thebes? Without the protection of the dragon slayer and the goddess of harmony, they are at best useless descendants."
As Loen asked the question, he looked down at the city of Thebes with pity.
In ancient Greek mythology, Thebes is as famous as Athens and Sparta, and even its culture, history, and qualifications are superior to those of Troy.
But for some reason this city-state always has a tragic temperament. Semele was struck to death by lightning, Oedipus killed his father and married his mother, Hercules killed his entire family, Antigone buried her brother and many other tragedies all happened in this city-state.
The shadow of "misfortune" always hangs over this city-state.
Eris even showed up in person and participated in the tragic war of "Seven Against Thebes".
Loen really couldn't understand what kind of hatred or grudge had caused this goddess of discord, whose identity and status were mysterious, to work so hard to mess up the small city-state of Thebes.
Eris did not answer directly, but instead asked a question playfully.
"Boy, do you know what is the oldest and strongest emotion of mankind?"
"fear!"
Lorne blurted out, lowering his head and falling into deep thought.
At this time, Eris heard the answer, nodded with satisfaction, and a smile of approval appeared on her face.
"That's right. Fear is not only the strongest emotion of human beings, but also the origin of gods!"
As she spoke, the red-haired goddess pondered leisurely.
"Uranus, the great god, hates all his children.
He said that these seedlings were growing badly.
One day, they will get retribution for this.
Therefore, the Heavenly Father gave his child a nickname called "Titan".
They are the [Fearful], they live with fear..."
Luo En listened quietly, and the doubts in his eyes gradually faded away.
The Fearful One—A Titan Born Out of Fear?
It turns out that this is the origin of the Titans.
And then, Eris pointed to the ground, with a hint of mockery in her scarlet eyes.
"Similarly, when the world stabilizes and the gods no longer gain sufficient power from devouring, human fear becomes particularly important.
The fear of thunder gave birth to the indestructible "thunderbolt";
The fear of war sharpened the great sword of the god of war, the golden bow and arrow, and the spear of victory;
The fear of death makes life and even sleep become daunting;
Finally, the reverence for the gods brings prosperity to Olympus..."
Lorne nodded, thoughtfully.
The reason is simple. Faith basically comes from two sources.
Growing wildly from [fear] and brewing in [blessing].
Compared with the latter, the former is easier and more convenient to obtain.
Moreover, the effect is immediate.
Most of the ancient gods were born out of human fear of nature.
This is especially true for the Titans, who were born with fear in their hearts.
They need human fear as the cornerstone of consolidating their theocracy.
To this end, they constantly brought down disasters and provoked disputes, warning mortals to be reverent and to constantly offer sacrifices and worship the main gods in heaven with their humble bodies.
Therefore, [discord] is the norm and is in their interests, and [harmony] is like poison to them.
But now that the goddess of harmony has transformed into a dragon and left this land, why does she continue to torture these Thebans?
At this moment, Eris seemed to see Lorne's confusion and spoke lightly.
"Because this land gave birth to a [seed] that is completely different from [fear], and it seems to be able to shake the glory of the gods. I don't like it very much."
These light words sounded like thunder to Luo En's ears.
Because, the [seed] that Eris mentioned is most likely him!
Among the twelve main gods, the only god on earth!
Among all the Titan bloodlines, he is the only one who builds the ladder with joy instead of perfecting his divine work with fear!
It seems that Eris's actions were most likely instructed by Zeus.
Lorne suppressed his surging emotions and remained calm on the surface.
"Did you find it?"
"No, because it has been removed long ago."
fine……
Lorne breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask in a confused manner.
"Then why do you treat the Thebans so harshly?"
“Of course, the soil in which the [seeds] are grown must be thoroughly turned over and thoroughly rid of insects!”
Eris looked down at the city of Thebes, her scarlet eyes revealing a hint of excited cruelty.
"Besides, I like it!"
Hearing this answer, Loen was speechless.
Yes, if the Goddess of Discord doesn't stir up trouble, create fear for the gods and increase their faith, does she have to do charity every day?
"Hey, after all that talk, what do you think?"
After a brief exchange, Eris continued to inquire, puffing out her chest proudly and revealing a charming smile on her face.
"If it satisfies me, I can satisfy one of your requests, any one of them..."
Seeing that he had almost exhausted all the questions, Loen simply tore off his disguise and shook his head to refuse.
"No thanks. I have a light taste lately and prefer vegetarian food."
Eris followed the other person's gaze and subconsciously scanned it across her plump breasts. She immediately understood the teasing implication and became furious, raising her hand and waving it.
"You don't know what's good for you!"
In an instant, the space around Loen was filled with blood and energy.
The blood species that had been scattered around at some point in time attracted the nearby blood energy, condensing into scarlet swords, which shot towards the target in the center.
At the same time, Lorne raised his right hand and grasped forward.
In an instant, countless light patterns floated in the space ahead. Hermetic text, linear divine patterns, Titan holy words, and primitive letters formed a dazzling magic array, focusing fire on the center.
Amid the gorgeous aurora, the two gods looked at each other and cursed angrily at the same time.
"You really have bad intentions!"
"You too!"
Obviously, neither of them was a good guy, and they both took advantage of the "peaceful" communication to secretly set up the battlefield.
Once they fall out, each will be ready to launch a thundering attack immediately.
However, the two sinister gods calculated together and their advantages offset each other.
At present, they can only follow the old rules of the Greek Age of Gods and fight with real swords and guns.
Whoever wins has the final say.
Eris wielded her blood-red swords to chop at the preset magic circles around her, launching the first attack while making moral criticisms.
"Bah, shameless bastard!"
"You are a female evil god who only knows how to bully mortals and even sneak attacks from behind. How dare you criticize me!"
Loen retorted without any hesitation, and immediately manifested the incarnation of a [Warrior]. At the same time, holding the greatly transformed [Gun of Nation-Building] in his hand, he smashed countless blood-red swords and stabbed forward.
Eris's strong will to destroy and her honed fighting skills made her face change drastically after taking a hard blow.
"What is that thing?"
"Wait until you lie down!"
Seeing that Eris was afraid of this [Gun of Nation Building], Loen felt relieved.
Status does not represent strength. Nereus, the old man in the sea who was served in turns, is an example.
Just as Eris relied on Zeus' fear of her and did not need to give Hestia face.
He also didn't need to care about Zeus's opinion and should give this female troublemaker who had run into his trap a good beating.
At the same time, Eris obviously realized that this god of wine belonging to the family hearth system actually had explosive combat power. Her face immediately became solemn, but then her eyes turned to surprise. She looked straight behind Loen and shouted loudly.
"Father God, he bullied me!"
Luo En's heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously looked behind him.
However, all I could see was a pitch-black night sky.
Almost at the same time, a whistling sound of wind was heard from the front.
not good!
In an instant, Loen's mind raced, and he looked back and forward, using the strength of his arms, waist and abdomen to sweep the [Gun of Nation-Building] in his hand swiftly.
“Dangdangdang!”
In an instant, dozens of blood-red swords were shattered one after another, and two scarlet swords followed closely behind and heavily chopped down on the spear tip.
As two waves of golden and red ether intertwined, exploded in the night sky, two figures flew backwards.
——Lorne 200 meters, Eris 100 meters.
However, the goddess of discord looked down at the shallow bloodstain on her ribs and the unharmed figure opposite her, and the smug smile on her face froze.
——She was bleeding, but the other side was not.
We attacked them by surprise and still ended up in a draw.
This guy is not easy to deal with!
Sensing the gloom that was rapidly gathering in the other person's eyes, Eris' heart skipped a beat, and a strong sense of foreboding arose in her mind.
The next second, she chose to trust her instinct without hesitation, and a pair of black wings spread out behind her.
Then, the two huge wings flapped violently and carried her away quickly.
Escaped?
Loen looked at Eris, who ran away after just a few moves, and hesitated for a moment. The [Warrior] behind him immediately turned into a [Goat], activated his extreme speed power, and chased after her.
I even dealt with Ares, so why can't I deal with you?
