"You want to kill God?"
"I...I will pierce your heart one day..."
"You are just a piece of trash that I accidentally created, yet you have such arrogant thoughts."
Apollo's expression turned cold.
Then there was a horrifying friction sound, and Dione's right hand spun several times, and Apollo crushed her bones alive. Dione couldn't help but let out a miserable cry.
"what--!!!"
Creon, standing at the door, was terrified.
The scream was like blood splashing from the throat, a cracking sound that released pain and fear beyond the limits of human imagination. It seems a bit exaggerated to say this, but it is true that Cleon, who heard the scream through the door, was frightened and took a step back. Then, the scream died down, leaving only Dione's painful gasps.
"Just wait for me."
Apollo pushed the door open angrily and walked out.
When he saw Creon.
The coldness in his tone was clearly revealed.
"What do you want to do?"
"Lord Apollo, I, I just came to see if you need my help."
"Hmph, I'll leave this guy to you. I'll be away for a day."
Apollo said this and disappeared into the night.
Creon could feel that Apollo's breath had disappeared.
He breathed a sigh of relief and walked carefully to the door.
Everything he saw made Cleon's heart skip a beat.
Dione was kneeling on the ground, supporting herself with her left hand, her head drooping weakly. Her right hand was now tattered, with broken bones piercing through her body. Blood was gushing out, staining Dione's clothes red.
The trust that cannot be generated
Seeing this scene, even Cleon felt very distressed.
The girl in front of him was indeed the daughter of Apollo. Creon had also learned the details in the past few days and knew that Dione was Apollo's illegitimate daughter, a girl secretly born because Apollo committed a sinful act. Therefore, this girl must not be known to the world, let alone other gods.
So for Apollo.
Dione is just a complete nuisance.
Creon felt that Apollo's attitude was understandable.
But Creon is also a father.
Even though she was such a troublesome character, she was still related to him by blood. If Creon had such an illegitimate daughter, he would never treat her like this. And now, a powerless girl had her arm twisted and bleeding. Isn't this just a ruthless bullying of the weak by the strong? This scene gave Creon a different feeling in his heart. He no longer had the initial admiration and enthusiasm for the god Apollo.
Instead, there is a sense of worry.
"You, what just happened?"
"..."
Dione just looked up and gave Cleon a cold look.
She did not trust the oracle of Apollo.
"Don't worry too much... We are all human, not like gods. Your current injury is too serious."
"what you up to."
Dioni looked down at her arm. The severity of the injury was almost beyond the limit of human endurance.
But Dione herself didn't know why she could endure it. The pain in her arm seemed to have eased a lot, and the bleeding was much better, at least the bleeding had almost stopped. Perhaps, if it were an ordinary person, they would have fainted from the pain by now, but Dione, this kind of pain actually reduced the pain caused by the withdrawal reaction, which made Dione feel a little more comfortable.
"How can I help you?"
"help me?"
Facing Kryon's words.
Dione couldn't help but sneer.
"forget it."
"But now you..."
"You are nothing but a lackey of Apollo... Do you think you will have a good ending? Apollo only plays with people. In his eyes, any human being is just like an ant. He doesn't care about your life or death at all... The King of Thrace is the same, and you will be the same. The King of Thrace brought disaster and pain to the Thracians, and then it will be the turn of the Athenians. You who have accepted Apollo's power will become the sinner of Athens."
Dione was a Thracian.
All the resentment towards the King of Thrace was focused on Apollo.
She moved back twice so that her back could rest against the wall.
Cleon looked outside.
"…Then what do you think I can do?"
"What can I do? You have no idea... If you disobey Apollo, the final result will be even worse than mine." Dione looked at her right hand, then sighed helplessly, "Didn't you say you would do me a favor..."
"Well, tell me."
"Cut my right arm off."
Dione knew that all too well.
With his right arm injured like this, he definitely can’t save it.
The bones were completely broken, and the wound would definitely get infected, and the person would not survive. Therefore, according to the military's method of treating wounds, cutting off the arm directly and bandaging the wound would increase the chance of survival. Dione didn't want to give up like this. She knew that Hilde would definitely come to take her away. She also believed that sooner or later, she would find an opportunity to kill Apollo with her own hands, even though killing a god was almost impossible.
"Cut it off?"
Cleon was stunned at first.
He quickly understood what Dione meant.
So, Creon drew his sword from his waist and walked to Dione's side.
"Kryon."
At this moment, Dione suddenly raised her head.
This was the first time in days that Diony called out Cleon's name.
"what happened?"
"You have your frustrations, and I understand your difficulties, but remember... many things require a price. Apollo will never regard you as something important. When you lose your value, he will abandon you and even erase you directly. If you still have a trace of humanity, I hope you can think carefully about it."
"Well, I will."
Cleon clenched his teeth.
And Dione also stretched out her right arm.
"Let's do it."
——————————Dividing line——————————
Cleon carefully treated Dione's wound with linen. Her broken arm now fell to the ground, and the cut was tightly wrapped with linen, and the bleeding had stopped. The pain of having her arm cut off was actually not as painful as what Apollo had done just now. Dione's face was now ashen, and the sweat on her forehead had soaked her hair. Her body was shaking uncontrollably, and it was unknown whether it was due to a strange withdrawal reaction or because of the pain.
"I'll take your arm away for you first."
"..."
Dione no longer had the energy to speak.
Cleon wrapped Diony's broken arm with linen and took it out.
Creon has been thinking these days.
He is a complete ambitious man, which also shows that he is not a fool. After using Apollo to gain absolute power, Apollo became a thorn in Creon's side. What happened during this period is enough to prove that Apollo is a complete lunatic. He not only plunged Athens into the plague, but also exposed that he never regarded human beings as individuals.
In Apollo's eyes.
Human beings are garbage.
It's a bug.
Even Cleon was just a bug who could help him temporarily.
Cleon didn't know what Apollo wanted, but he was worried that when he was no longer useful to Apollo, Cleon would be abandoned by Apollo. At that time, he would probably be dead - what's more, although Cleon cared about power, he was also an Athenian. Now that he had become the archon, Cleon had no way to ignore the future of Athens and become a puppet of Apollo.
Now we have to break the deadlock.
Creon had other ideas in his mind.
And Apollo disappeared for half a day.
When he came back, he looked refreshed.
"Diony, do you know you are wrong?"
When he came back, he saw that Dione's right arm was empty and the linen bandage used to bandage the wound had been stained red.
The eighth section of the second key comes from the last hope
At this time, Dioni had already woken up a little, but when he looked up at Apollo, the face that seemed very handsome to others just now, in Dioni's eyes, made him feel extremely disgusted. But now, Dioni felt that he had to survive.
Then he said in a weak voice:
"Please..."
"what are you saying?"
Apollo seemed to have heard something that made him very excited.
"Please...I don't want to die."
"You're begging me? Ha! You're begging me!"
Apollo excitedly rushed to Dione.
"Weren't you hard before?"
"I'm sorry...I was wrong..."
Dione looked pitiful. She looked pale as death, and the pain and excessive blood loss had almost left her with no strength to speak. In such a situation, Dione's plea seemed very pitiful and hard to refuse.
This was exactly the scene Apollo wanted. After he captured Dione, this illegitimate daughter who was supposed to submit to him, showed such a tough attitude, which completely stimulated Apollo's self-esteem. She was obviously just a demigod whose power had been taken away, and she was obviously his daughter, but she had to speak to him in that tone. This made Apollo unable to control his anger.
But it is different now.
Dione surrendered.
"Do you really think that you did something wrong before?"
"Yes...I'm sorry...please forgive me."
"If you had done this earlier, you wouldn't have to endure this pain." Apollo stretched out his hand and gently placed it on Dione's severed limb. "Although I used you as bait to lure Hilde, I have to say that you are indeed my daughter, so I don't want to do anything too extreme to you, as long as you are obedient."
Hear Apollo say this.
Dione breathed a sigh of relief.
He did not hope that Hilde would come back to save him. Rather, Dione did not want Hilde to come back to find him. It was actually the best outcome for him to die like this. But she held on to the last glimmer of hope in her heart. She felt that Hilde would come to find her, and that she would be able to successfully resolve the matter at hand and successfully get rid of Apollo.
This is the confidence that comes from Dioni's heart.
She believed that Hilde, who could easily solve any difficulties, would be able to successfully resolve the current issue.
So he has to survive.
You can only see these if you live.
Apollo was indeed a guy who was easily fooled. He really thought that Dioni had surrendered to him, so he happily helped Dioni heal his wounds. In addition to his duties as the God of Light, Apollo was also the God of Medicine and Cleanliness. Soon, the pain in Dioni's arm disappeared, but Apollo did not intend to help Dioni restore his broken arm, but to keep it like this.
"Let's do this for now."
Apollo clapped his hands.
"Once I successfully take care of Hilde, I will help you recover your arm."
"Thank you..."
"Ah, Dione, you are my daughter, but you have completely forgotten your biological father. This is my personal sin. Don't worry, as long as you can be obedient, you are my daughter... The main thing is that I can master the original library of creation. When I become the king of gods, you will be a goddess!"
