"I advise you to save your efforts."
"Then there is nothing to say."
Ares's eyes turned cold.
When you're planning to take action.
At this moment, a silver light suddenly fell from the sky and blocked Ares and Tomyris.
"stop!"
Tomyris looked closely.
She couldn't help but widen her eyes and her breathing became choked.
"A-Artemis…sama?"
"I'm late."
Artemis looked back at the embarrassed Tomyris, then said to Ares in front of him: "Don't do anything to my oracle."
"Artemis!? How dare you appear in front of me!!!"
Ares was also surprised.
After all, Ares' attention was focused on Tomyris just now. He didn't notice or react to the sudden arrival of the god Artemis. As a result, Ares was startled when Artemis landed. This kind of thing made Ares very angry. He raised the spear in his hand and pointed it directly at Artemis in front of him.
"You...traitor!"
"I am a traitor."
Artemis made no move to resist.
Even facing the spear of the god of war.
Artemis also said calmly:
"You can take me away, and I am willing to be punished, but I hope you can let my oracle, Tomyris, go."
"Let her go? How is that possible!"
Ares was about to tell Artemis about his discovery, but seeing that Artemis seemed to know nothing, Ares swallowed back his words. After a moment, Ares looked back at Agenor and said, "Although, considering that we are both children of Lord Zeus, I should let you off the hook. But now, this is about the honor and disgrace of the Olympian gods, and I will never let you off the hook. Since you showed up today, not only can you not leave, but Tomyris can't leave either."
"Ares."
Artemis' voice contained a hint of suppressed sadness and anger.
"I have my own reasons."
"What reason can make you betray the God Clan?"
"I didn't betray... but maybe there is no such thing as betrayal. Whether it's the gods or Hilde, everyone is ruthless and cold. As long as they can achieve their goals, they can do anything. Ares, although you and Athena have a bad relationship, Athena's character is well-known among the gods. Have you really never thought about... why Athena wanted to risk her life to snatch the original book of creation?"
"I do not know."
Ares shook his head.
"But I understand what you mean."
"That being the case..."
"Owning the Original Book of Creation means possessing unparalleled power. This is the most direct way. Although I don't know Lord Zeus's purpose, it is better than letting Hilde fall on her. In short, Artemis, you know that you can't be my enemy. In this case, I hope you can give up resistance and return to the God's Domain. I can also tell Lord Zeus that you have turned from darkness to light and ask Lord Zeus to forgive you once."
"Take me away, but not Tomyris!"
"Then there's nothing to discuss."
There was a flash of murderous intent in Ares' eyes.
Tomyris was about to do something.
Artemis' words suddenly flashed through his mind.
"Run away!"
"..."
Tomyris couldn't help but stare at Artemis in front of her with her eyes wide open.
Chapter 9 of the Second Part: The Most Timely Reinforcements
"Run away!!!"
Artemis was ready for battle.
Even when facing Ares.
Artemis did not look scared at all. Instead, she stood straight and looked at Ares in front of her. Her tone and expression were extremely serious and full of a murderous aura. In this state, Artemis told Tomyris through the message in her mind to run away quickly.
"I can't hold on much longer."
"no no……"
Tomyris shook her head.
How could she possibly abandon the Lord God and run away?
"I won't be killed, but you will!"
"but I……"
"Go back. Only by escaping can we be safe and have a chance to defeat them."
At this time, Ares seemed to have noticed something.
Although he couldn't hear what Artemis and Tomyris said, he could sense something was wrong between them. At this time, he asked Agno to keep an eye on Tomyris to prevent her from running away. He continued to say to Artemis, "I'll give you one more chance now. Stop resisting and nothing will happen."
"Humph."
Artemis sneered.
"If you want to take action against Tomyris, unless..."
"unless?"
"Unless, you kill me!"
"Okay! Then it's up to you!!!"
Ares shouted loudly and stabbed Artemis with the spear in his hand.
Artemis was not a pushover. In a fight between two equally matched gods, it was impossible for one to defeat the other easily. Artemis dodged the blow and then slapped Tomyris on the shoulder, her eyes anxiously sweeping across Tomyris's cheek.
"Come on!"
"no no……"
Tomyris's legs went weak and she just knelt on the ground.
"I can not do it……"
"you!"
Artemis naturally couldn't urge Tomyris and fight Ares at the same time.
But for Tomyris, she knew Artemis's good intentions, but she could never abandon Artemis. Just imagining such a scene, Tomyris felt as if her heart was cut by a knife. At this time, Artemis and Ares had risen to the sky. The two gods did not restrain their divine power at all. The air waves generated by the battle made the whole sky tremble.
"Artemis!"
Ares dodged Artemis's bare-handed palm.
She had no weapons in her hands.
But if he was hit directly, even Ares would not be able to bear it.
"Are we really going to kill each other?"
"Ever since Athena died, I don't care about these anymore!"
"Athena is a traitor!"
"She's not!!!"
Artemis said this.
What flashed through my mind was Hilde's cold look.
For the first time, she felt her breathing was heavy, as if the person who was betrayed by Hilde was not Tomyris, but Artemis. However, she did not say anything bad about Hilde in front of Tomyris. Because Artemis knew very well that as the king of the Byzantine Kingdom, Hilde's responsibilities behind her would not allow Hilde to make a purely moral judgment.
"If you say so..."
Ares looked annoyed.
The double-headed spear in his hand stabbed directly at Artemis.
"Then don't blame me for being rude!"
"come!!!"
When the gods fought in the sky.
At this time, the Spartan army had also arrived at the battlefield.
Tomyris looked up and saw the elite armed Spartans had appeared at the other end of his sight. At the same time, the other two oracles of Sparta, including Lysander and Callisto, had already arrived here. Sensing this, Ageno raised his head confidently, looked down at Tomyris in front of him, and shouted loudly: "Tomyris! Your doomsday has come! I advise you to hand over His Majesty Archidamus as soon as possible and surrender obediently, so that I can spare your lives!"
"you……"
Tomyris knew.
That's too late.
Even if we retreat now, we can't escape.
Moreover, Artemis was now fighting hard with Ares. The two were in mid-air, fighting hard, but Tomyris could see that Artemis was clearly at a disadvantage.
time is limited.
Now, the situation is definitely more despairing than when Hilder's army was at the gates of the city.
However, faced with such a situation.
Tomyris didn't give up either.
She knew that if she gave up now, everything would be over.
So, Tomyris stood up and picked up his Moonlight Silver Bow. And Agno saw that Tomyris was going to fight to the death, so he looked at Callisto who came over, and planned to go forward together to capture Tomyris. But at this moment——
Suddenly, the oracles and gods present.
They all felt an extremely oppressive force approaching rapidly.
"who!?"
Ares was stunned.
Artemis had already realized it.
But she didn't expect——
Hilde will come to help! ?
This power came from Hilde. It was different from the power of gods. It was a kind of power that made the Greek gods feel pressured, a power that was almost evil. Ares knew that things were not going well, so he quickly retreated and kept a safe distance from Artemis. But at the same time, a purple lightning flashed from the sky. Then, Agno, who was still standing in front of Tomyris, became the target of the lightning.
"Be careful!!!"
Callisto felt something was wrong.
But it was too late.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Agno felt that a woman with silver hair and purple robes suddenly appeared in front of him.
Then, a strangely shaped round shield hit Agno's face hard.
He directly knocked Agno away.
"what--!!!"
Agno's body flew nearly a hundred meters before he stopped with the help of Lysander.
Agno had never felt such pain before. The blow just now seemed to smash Agno's head directly. His whole head was buzzing. His vision began to blur, and everything he saw was blood red. But at the same time, whether it was Lysander or Callisto, they did not dare to act rashly. In front of them, a fully armed Valkyrie was standing in front of Tomyris.
The Hunter Becomes the Prey
There was a faint smile on Hilde's face.
