In an instant, the daytime in the sky turned into night, and the blue sky turned directly into the stars and the moon. At the same time, the powerful pressure slowed down Ares' speed all of a sudden.
The Second Tune, Section 4: The God of War Flees in a Panic
Ares was shocked, but before he could react, Xerxes snapped his fingers, and a ball of fire suddenly appeared from behind her. This bright flame began to grow rapidly, and finally grew into a 20-meter-tall fire giant, standing behind Xerxes.
"Lord Nyx, grant me strength."
Sophia summoned a silver staff in her hand.
The front end of the staff is crescent-shaped, and at the same time, stars surround the front end of the staff, forming the appearance of a night sky.
"What……"
Ares watched this scene.
Even though he was the God of War, he couldn't help but take a step back.
"What's this……"
"Hahahahahaha!!!"
Xerxes laughed arrogantly.
And Artemis couldn't help but frown.
This... Have they become so strong in just half a year?
When Sophia faced Apollo, her divine power had just awakened, so it was normal for her to be weak. Now that half a year has passed, it is normal for her to be able to use her divine power. But Xerxes was too exaggerated. The concentration of divine power in his body had increased by an order of magnitude compared to before. Xerxes, who was a demigod, had begun to gradually approach the level of a true god.
What, what happened?
Just when Artemis was surprised.
Ares knew that he had hit a rock.
Faced with such a terrible enemy, Ares was also a little scared.
Especially the red-haired woman.
The divine power in her body gave Ares an indescribable pressure.
Human fear often comes from the unknown, and the same is true for gods like Ares. Facing these unknown guys, Ares knew that if he fought with them now, if he was not careful, something bad might happen. So, Ares thought carefully, and he had not yet completed the task given to him by Zeus, and as a result, he was caught by the other party.
It's my bad luck now.
As a result, he was blocked here by two people from the other side.
Ares didn't stick with it.
Instead, he turned around and ran away.
Ares escaped very quickly, so quickly that before Xerxes and Sophia could react, Ares disappeared at the end of their sight.
"Oh, you run really fast."
"yes……"
Ares ran away, and Xerxes had no interest in chasing him.
Artemis just stood there, watching Ares running farther and farther away.
"..."
"So, Ms. Artemis, shouldn't you explain what happened?"
At this time, Xerxes had already walked in front of Artemis.
And she took a deep breath.
"Some things should be discussed when we get to Byzantium."
"Lady Artemis, there are some things we don't want to force you to do. If you really have something to hide, you can leave now." Sophia saw that Artemis was a little embarrassed, so she stepped forward to help Artemis out. "So, if you don't want to go with us, there is no problem."
"No, I finally managed to escape from Ares' surveillance, how could I possibly go back?"
Artemis gave a helpless smile.
"It's just that I have to talk to Hilde about what happens next."
"Okay, we also need to return to Byzantium."
Xerxes reached out and placed his hand on Artemis' shoulder.
"Now, goddess, you are our prisoner."
"Um……"
In this way, he was actually protecting Artemis.
Although Artemis didn't say anything, Xerxes probably guessed something. Ares followed Artemis probably to monitor her. Therefore, compared to Artemis voluntarily following Xerxes and his men to Byzantium, being captured by Xerxes and captured in Byzantium, this reason is obviously more suitable for Artemis now.
"But if you look closely..."
Xerxes looked Artemis over carefully.
Then he reached out and grabbed the clothes on Artemis.
"You are really good-looking."
"She is a goddess after all."
Sophia also said with a smile.
Artemis couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Um... this, this?"
"I'm sorry, goddess, I need to make others think that you were really kidnapped."
After saying that, Xerxes exerted force with both hands and tore off the clothes of Artemis.
Although they were gods, they also had clothes to wear, and Xerxes tore off a large piece of Artemis' robe. Then he threw it on the ground casually. As a result, Artemis didn't react and her breasts were exposed. Although the two people in front of her were women, Artemis was a little overwhelmed and covered her chest, and said angrily:
"W-what are you doing!?"
"In this case, Ares will think that you were kidnapped."
"That's not necessary!"
"Ah, this is my personal interest. I'm curious about what the hunting goddess' breasts look like."
Faced with Xerxes' blatant hooliganism.
Artemis could only swallow her grievances.
At this time, Sophia took off her black cloak and came to Artemis.
"Master Artemis, I'm sorry."
"……Thanks."
After Artemis put on Sophia's cloak, she saw the horns on Sophia's head.
And Sophia also noticed the other person's gaze.
She touched the pair of long horns, then said with a wry smile: "This, I feel like it will never disappear in this lifetime."
"Um……"
"If you have anything to say, let's go to Byzantium City and talk."
Completely blinded, Artemis was taken away by Sophia and Xerxes.
Ares ran all the way to Persia, and only stopped after he was sure that the enemy had not caught up with him. Turning his head, he saw that the place that was just covered by darkness had disappeared. Above Ares' head was the warm sun of Anatolia.
It's so embarrassing!
I actually got into this state by the other party!
Ares was so angry that he knocked the spear in his hand to the ground.
"Damn it! I will definitely take revenge!"
But in the situation just now, Ares really couldn't say whether he could defeat those two people, because Ares knew nothing and knew nothing about the other party's situation. As the god of war, bravery and wisdom should coexist, and so did Ares, but his brain was not as bright as Athena's, otherwise, Athena would not be called the goddess of wisdom.
The fifth verse of the second tune captures the goddess of hunting
But even if it's not that smart.
Ares also knew that he had to be extremely cautious when facing an enemy whose details he had no idea of.
Otherwise, if there is any mistake.
That would be bad.
So, this is Ares’s attitude now. He will only fight the enemy when he is sure or has no other choice.
But now, in addition to this incident, there is also bad news.
That's what Artemis does.
Ares knew that Artemis did not run away like him. It was possible that Artemis could not escape at all, or that Artemis really betrayed the Olympian gods. Ares thought about it carefully and felt that it would be better to return to the original place. When Ares quietly returned, he found that the place where he had just fought was gone. There was only a piece of clothing on Artemis left on the ground. It was estimated that Artemis was forcibly captured by the opponent.
"Damn, these guys."
Ares couldn't even think of it.
This thing is actually used to deceive people.
But Ares still imagined Artemis being taken away roughly.
"This news must be told to Lord Zeus!"
After determining your own ideas.
Ares immediately returned to Mount Olympus.
And now, the gods are taking action.
Hilde also started his own moves.
She thought for a while and felt that since the Olympian gods led by Zeus were now on the opposite side of her, then the other party's means of countering her, in addition to personally descending to the earth to encircle her, was to choose the oracle and become Hilde's enemy. Most of the gods were afraid of death. They knew that Hilde had killed Apollo, so naturally they did not dare to easily engage in any form of battle with Hilde.
The most annoying thing now is that Hilde doesn't know where the gods are. They may appear around Hilde at any time and attack the people around Hilde when she is not around. Now, Diony and Sophia have strong self-protection capabilities. Diony, whose strength has improved by leaps and bounds, has 70% of Apollo's strength. Although she can't beat the gods, she can run away.
Not to mention Sophia, the goddess of night almost crushes all the Olympian gods.
Hilde told Sophia that she had fought against Dione and Golgopas.
But the final result was that when Sophia used her divine power.
Dione's divine power immediately began to become fearful and out of control.
And Golgopas knelt down directly.
This made Hilde discover a very interesting phenomenon. Including Rhodes and Tomyris, they were all oracles of the Olympian gods. As a result, when facing Sophia, their divine powers would show fear or collapse, as if their divine powers had some consciousness and were afraid of something. This made Hilde feel very interesting.
The ones most vulnerable to attack were Tomyris, Golgopas, and Rhodes.
Tomyris, on the other hand, had the bow of Artemis, and could escape if she encountered a god.
Golgopas's anti-injury ability is very buggy, but that kind of skill is a skill that kills one thousand enemies but injures eight hundred of your own, so it should not be used unless it is absolutely necessary.
As for Rhodes, it was really difficult for him to escape. Therefore, Hilde had kept Rhodes in Byzantium City, so that if he encountered a god who came to cause trouble, he could jump directly into the sea. As long as he was in the sea, Rhodes would be almost omnipotent. However, even so, when Poseidon appeared in Byzantium City, no one reacted, giving Poseidon a chance to take advantage of it.
So, what to do next.
It became the situation in front of Hilde.
This is a question that we have to think about.
And Hilde stayed in Byzantium for a while.
A fleet sailed into the port of Byzantium, and then quickly went to the royal palace in the center of Byzantium through the secret passage of the port. This passage was only available to members of the royal family and important officials of Byzantium. Sophia and Xerxes naturally met this condition.
The two of them walked one after the other and soon arrived at the palace.
"Sissi!"
As soon as Xerxes saw Hilde, he pounced on her.
Hilde also took the opportunity to catch Xerxes.
"I miss you so much, haha!"
