Although such an idea is disrespectful, didn't Zeus rebel against his father and establish his own clan of gods? The masters of the gods' domain have changed three times, from the original Creator Clan, to the later Titans, and then to the Olympian Clan. In each generation, the son rebelled against his father. In the Olympian Clan, it was completely fine for Ares to rebel against his father.
Hera has been hoping for this ever since.
I couldn't sleep at night.
I've been thinking about this all day.
If Ares really obtained the endless knowledge and power in the original book of creation.
As Ares' mother, doesn't that mean I have the power to rise to the top?
Although she was now the Queen of Heaven, and although she deeply loved Zeus, Hera was also worried. She found that Zeus seemed to have no room for anyone. In his eyes, everything seemed to be a threat to him. Hera was deeply worried about what would happen to the gods who surrounded Zeus after Zeus got the original book of creation.
"I'm also going to prepare for action."
After Hercules left.
Hera straightened up.
Take a deep breath.
"It has to be successful."
She had a determination that no one could stop.
He flew lightly from Nicias' palace and then hovered over the city of Athens.
From a high place, Hera could see the dense Byzantine army outside the city of Athens. Now, the Byzantines had begun the second day of siege operations, and the method they adopted was still to use a black liquid that could be easily ignited to splash the periphery of Athens. A large number of houses and streets were burned down, and the soldiers could only hide in the bunkers under the city walls, waiting for the end of the rain of fire.
at this time.
She saw Nicias, already mounted on his horse.
Behind him were the Athenian Temple Guards ready for battle.
This was the most elite infantry of Athens. It was the trump card of the Athenians. Even when facing the Spartan warriors, these well-equipped heavy infantry would never lose. The temple guards of about 2,000 people would rush out of the city with Nicias, and together with Hercules and Hera, they would catch the enemy off guard. Although there were fewer people, a sudden attack could completely disrupt the enemy's siege preparations.
The fun begins!
at this time.
In the Byzantine military tent.
A beautiful woman with wheat-colored skin suddenly broke the branch in her hand.
The broken branches instantly caught fire and turned into a pile of black ash in an instant.
"Tsk."
Xerxes dropped the branch and stood up.
"Sure enough, Hera has a hidden trick."
"It's a new... god." Sophia also felt it. "Very powerful."
"Sissi said that Hera might be hiding a particularly difficult guy in the city, but she was not sure if the other party had a way to hide the god. Now it seems that Hera really does have one, and while Hilde is away, she is ready to take action."
Xerxes smiled coldly.
Then he said to Sophia:
"Dear Sophia, now is our battlefield."
"Yes!"
Sophia also nodded firmly.
She pulled down her burqa, revealing a pair of pointed horns on top of her head.
"We can't let Sissi's efforts go to waste."
"We can't let the soldiers who have come all the way here make a wasted trip."
Xerxes walked out of the tent quickly. At this time, the gate of Athens, which was not far from the tent, was suddenly opened. The soldiers were still attacking the city, but seeing this scene, everyone felt a little strange. After all, Athens was beaten so hard that they dared not come out. At the same time, the Byzantines also tried to break through the city wall several times, but all ended in failure.
And now...
The other party actually took the initiative to open the city gate! ?
Seeing this scene, everyone was a little unbelievable.
However, Xerxes spoke up: "Everyone! Prepare for defense!"
"Yes!"
Hilde is not here.
The supreme commander of the Byzantine army was Xerxes.
The officers were all aware of this.
Dione also ran over quickly, her golden hair tied into a ponytail.
"Your Majesty Xerxes!"
"Did you feel it too?"
"felt it!"
Dione also became a little nervous.
"Are we going to fight the gods?"
"Of course!" Xerxes seemed very confident, "But don't worry! We will definitely be able to defeat the enemy we face next!"
"it is good!"
Dione also started to get ready.
At this moment, Sophia suddenly walked out of the big tent holding a black wooden box.
"If that's the case, then Dioni is necessary for this thing."
"what?"
Xerxes and Dione turned around at the same time.
Sophia smiled and opened the box. Inside the box was a golden bow. The material of the bow was unknown, but it was engraved with very complex and gorgeous patterns. Visible golden divine power flowed on the patterns of the bow. When the box was opened, the ripples brought by the divine power could also be felt directly.
And, for Dione.
She felt the divine power of the bow.
And her own divine power.
There was a resonance——
"This, this is?"
"This is... Apollo's bow, the Golden Bow of the Sun."
"Apollo's bow!?" Now it was Xerxes' turn to be surprised, "When did you get this?"
"When passing by Amphipolis, Sissi went to look for it. Unexpectedly, she found the bow in the valley, and of course... Cleon's body was also found. Because the thing was directly covered by the riverbed, neither the Spartans nor the Athenians found it. However, after Sissi found it, she specially sealed it in a box and told me that I could only take it out when I thought it was necessary."
"This……"
Although Xerxes has always been clear about the purpose of some of Hilde's plans.
But now, Xerxes didn't quite understand.
Since there is such a magical weapon, why not take it out earlier?
Passing by Amphipolis, that was a month ago.
This bow has been hidden for a month! ?
The key point is that this matter was told to Sophia, but not to Xerxes, which made Xerxes a little dissatisfied.
"Is this for me?"
Dione's eyes widened as she looked at the golden bow.
"Correct."
"Can I use it?"
"Before, didn't Sissi specifically ask you to practice archery? Now, it's time to test you. You are the daughter of Apollo, the descendant of the God of Light, and the worthy successor of the Golden Bow of the Sun."
The Beginning of the Athenian Counterattack
Daughter of Apollo.
Inherited Apollo's bow.
This kind of thing, no matter how you think about it, is as it should be.
There is no room for doubt.
However, when Dione saw the bow in person, she still hesitated.
This is the bow used by her "father", the tyrannical Apollo. In other words, if she accepts this bow, she must also accept the identity and name of that dirty father, which she is unwilling to acknowledge. Dione does not want to bear the name of Apollo, including Apollo's position and power, which makes Dione feel sick.
Perhaps for this reason, when Hilde found the Golden Bow of the Sun, she did not take it out directly, but chose to hide it. If the news was made public, the Byzantine army, which was mainly composed of Greeks, would definitely support Dione as the successor of Apollo, which was exactly what Dione did not want to see, and would cause her great psychological pressure.
but now……
Is it time to pick up this bow?
"what happened?"
Sophia still wasn't quite sure what Dione was thinking.
"Are you scared?"
"no……"
Dione took a deep breath.
"I hate Apollo."
"Yeah, I know."
"So, I hate everything about him! I hate it so much that it makes me sick!"
"..."
Sophia turned her head and shifted her gaze to Xerxes beside her.
Xerxes laughed and patted Dione on the shoulder.
"Fool! You hate Apollo, but we have already killed him together! He is already dead, why bother about such a small matter. Even if you pick up this bow, in our eyes, you are still a hero named Dione, and you have nothing to do with Apollo. Of course, we won't force you. If you hate the Golden Bow of the Sun, I can also practice archery."
"This……"
Upon hearing this, Dioni was still a little flustered.
Sure enough, he was still a child.
The artifact in front of her was full of fatal temptation to Dioni.
However, these things about Apollo made Dione very resistant.
At this time, Sophia smiled gently and said, "Dione, we don't mean to force you to accept this bow, but you have to know that Apollo was defeated by us. Your acceptance of this bow does not mean that you have inherited Apollo's legacy, but it is your trophy. It is the fruit of victory that everyone risked their lives and fought Apollo to the death. Although its previous user was not glorious, it is just a bow and has no sins. The one who decides the value of this bow is its user."
"Yes, I know……"
"Diony, I believe you are a kind-hearted child. The Golden Bow of the Sun represents the sun and light. I believe that you will be able to spread the light that people expect to the earth. Use this bow to realize your dream."
Sophia handed the bow to Dione.
"Take it."
"……it is good."
Sophia's words convinced Diony.
It also resolved Dioni's inner worries and concerns.
Dione took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and gripped the bow handle firmly.
At this time, when the divine power in Dione's body flowed into the bow, the Golden Bow of the Sun suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light, and scorching air waves spread out from the bow. Even Sophia and Xerxes could not help but step back several steps. The overwhelming heat wave immediately swept everything around, as if the air had become scorched.
“At this time…”
Dione looked at the bow in her hand in surprise.
