"Let me go!"
Diony tried to break free, but the man was so strong that she couldn't get away at all.
She looked into the man's golden eyes.
The heart is extremely confused.
What's going on? He's my father? Or Apollo, the god of light.
How can this be.
Dione simply couldn't believe what Apollo said. If a strange man suddenly appeared and said he was Apollo, only a fool would believe him. However, no matter who the man in front of her was, Dione's current situation was very dangerous. So Dione quickly calmed herself down and said to the man in front of her: "This is Byzantium! There are guards at the door! I advise you to let me go now, otherwise..."
"Otherwise? I can easily kill everyone in the entire city of Byzantium."
Apollo grabbed Dione by the collar.
Then he lifted her up.
"You don't know me, and it's not your fault, but you are mine, you are my daughter, and this is not the place you need to be."
"let me go!!!"
Dioni realized that this guy was definitely not a good person.
Just at this time.
Apollo sensed a strange presence.
Turning around, I saw a child standing not far away, watching the scene with horror.
"Oh, it looks like there's a little audience."
Apollo didn't let go of his hand, but turned his attention to the little boy in front of him.
"Diony, what do you think I should do?"
"Philip! Run!"
Dione knew something was wrong.
So I quickly reminded the boy.
Philip also reacted and turned around to run away.
At this time, Apollo snapped his fingers, and suddenly a flash of light flashed, and Philip, who was only seven or eight years old, fell directly to the ground, lifeless. Dione looked at this scene, and she suddenly felt a strong chill rising from her heart, and this feeling almost made Dione vomit.
“…No, don’t!!!”
"Diony, if you cooperate obediently from now on, it's not that I can't spare them, but if you don't intend to behave obediently, then no one in your beloved orphanage will survive."
"you……"
Dione knew.
This guy, whether he is the real Apollo or not.
He has abilities that he cannot resist.
"how?"
"As long as you don't hurt the children..."
Looking at Philip's body, Diony couldn't help but shed tears.
Apollo sneered, carried Dione directly on his shoulders, and prepared to leave.
"who!?"
But Apollo was about to leave.
Suddenly, a strange breath came directly from behind.
Apollo dodged quickly, and he almost didn't get away as he was carrying Dioni. A big hole had been smashed out where he had just stood. Looking closely, he saw a man covered in a purple robe suddenly appeared here.
"Sister Sophia!"
Dione recognized it immediately.
"Sophia?"
Apollo was stunned for a moment.
The woman in front of him had an aura surrounding her that he really disliked.
"Let Dione go!!!"
"Another oracle?!"
Apollo frowned tightly.
How many oracles are there in this Byzantine Empire?
Sophia is actually very nervous now. She came here specially to pick up Diony today, but when she arrived here, she felt something was wrong. As an oracle, she can sense the existence of some things, such as oracles and gods. Therefore, when Apollo appeared in the orphanage, Sophia felt something was wrong, so she rushed in and happened to encounter this incident.
Sophia didn't think too much about it and just called directly.
Although Sophia's special ability has not been awakened, her strong physical ability allows her to beat Apollo into a panic.
Apollo looked at Sophia.
Then he said coldly: "I don't know whose oracle you are, so I don't want to kill you and offend the god behind you, but Dione is my daughter, I must take her away."
"no!"
Sophia responded loudly:
"Diony is our family, and we will never allow you to take her away!"
"court death--!"
Apollo shouted, and the flash that had killed Philip appeared again.
And Sophia couldn't help but close her eyes.
However, when Sophia opened her eyes, she found that Apollo and Dione had disappeared from the spot, and she didn't know where they went. She looked around quickly and determined the direction. She could feel Apollo's position, but Apollo's speed was too fast for Sophia to catch up.
Oops……
Sophia knew that Dione was Apollo's child.
So, this time Apollo returns.
He definitely has bad intentions!
Dioni, I'm afraid there's danger!
Besides, Hilde is not here now, and Sophia has no idea what to do.
Apollo and Dione quickly fled the Byzantine city. When he looked back, Sophia did not chase them.
And Apollo could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Just now, Apollo did not fail to kill him.
He wanted to kill Sophia.
Anyway, no matter who the oracle is, if Apollo wants to kill him, he will kill him.
However, his attack was invalidated. The light that could penetrate everyone disappeared directly on Sophia's body, just like water spilled on the surface of a hot object, evaporating instantly. Apollo was right. The power that displeased Apollo did have a certain restraining effect on him.
What the hell.
Apollo didn't want to fail.
He has come to the mortal world now, but in a mortal body.
Although the divine realm is now open, the gods still cannot come to the human world at any time and place. They need a physical body. Apollo is like this now. His godhood and divinity are all bound to his physical body. If the physical body disappears, the godhood will also disappear, which means the death of Apollo as a god.
Therefore, Apollo did not intend to fight such an unnecessary fight.
Chapter 10: The missing opponent
He still has to save time for subsequent actions.
And after Apollo left.
Sophia immediately rushed out of the orphanage.
"Somebody come!"
Under Sophia's order, several officers immediately rushed to Sophia.
"Your Highness!"
Sophia was just about to give some instructions.
But on second thought, this is Apollo, the god of light.
Asking the army to deal with Apollo was probably nonsense and meaningless. So, Sophia took a deep breath to calm herself down, and then gave orders to the officers: "Today, a kidnapping occurred in the orphanage. Dione was kidnapped. The kidnapper might be an oracle. A child died, so you go in and collect the child's body, and then seal off this place."
"Yes!"
The princess's order.
The officer naturally accepted it.
Soon, the Byzantine army surrounded all the entrances and exits of the orphanage.
Sophia was now the person in charge of Byzantium, but she had no experience in this matter. She only knew that this matter could not be made public for the time being, otherwise it would only cause unnecessary panic. In addition, the next morning, Sophia went to the orphanage and gave some instructions to the children there, telling them that Diony had to leave for a while because of something, and asked them to stay in the orphanage. Sophia also lied to the dead Philip.
this matter.
Sophia was really at her wits' end.
All we can do is wait for Hilde's return.
Fortunately, on the third day, Hilde's fleet returned to Byzantium.
Thanks to Rhodes' ability to control the sea currents, Hilde's fleet only needed three days to return to Byzantium from Cimmerian in the north. As soon as Hilde arrived at the port from the ship, he saw Sophia, wearing a purple robe, running towards him.
"Sissi!"
"Dear Sophia, did you miss me?"
Hilde didn't notice what was happening.
At this time, Sophia grabbed Hilde's hand and pulled her over.
"What's wrong? Are you so anxious?"
"Something bad has happened. Dione was taken away by Apollo."
Hearing this, Hilde was stunned for a moment.
Apollo? Took Dione away?
What's happening here?
"What exactly happened?"
"It's like this... Three nights ago, Dione encountered Apollo in the orphanage and was taken away by Apollo. I tried to save Dione, but he didn't want to fight and just ran away." Sophia clenched her fists tightly, looking very emotional. "I'm sorry, I didn't succeed in keeping Dione. Now, I don't know where they went..."
Sophia couldn't help crying.
Hilde reached out and gently patted Sophia's shoulder.
"It's okay, it's okay."
"But Dione..."
"Apollo kidnapped Dione, he must be coming for me."
Hilde still has this self-awareness.
Apollo can be said to be the biggest disruptor of the human world. From the King of Thrace to Cleon of Athens, they all have direct relations with Apollo. It can even be said that many chaos in Greece were directed by Apollo. Therefore, Hilde did not believe that Apollo took Dione away to stage some drama of deep love between father and daughter.
"What about us now?"
"Don't worry, Cimmerian's matter has been resolved. Let's go back to the palace first."
That's all Hilde can do for now.
After all, there are too few clues available.
After everyone returned to the palace, Hilde called Sophia and Rhodes to her side. The three of them were in a room, planning to discuss the matter.
