"How about it?"
“It doesn’t feel like a bow.”
"Like what?"
"Like... a part of my body."
The kind and gentle feeling made Dione addicted to it. She gently stroked the surface of the bow. The pattern on the surface was uneven, and the hard metal bow was also very solid and reliable. At the same time, when Dione held it, her divine power seemed to merge with the bow, as if the bow grew out of her body, very intimate.
"That's good."
Sophia and Xerxes looked at each other.
They both understood... why this situation had occurred.
Or it is because, flowing in Dione's body is the divine power from Apollo.
"Then prepare to fight."
"Yes!"
Dione nodded happily.
It's like a kid getting a new toy.
"It's really worthy of being called the Golden Bow of the Sun." Xerxes said with emotion, "When I first saw the Silver Bow of the Moon in Tomyris's hand, I felt that things from the gods are really good. However, it seems that these weapons must be used by special people to exert their greatest power. For example, I have used Sissi's Spear of Hilde, and it was completely useless."
"They will reject unfamiliar divine powers."
Sophia smiled and nodded.
"I'm so envious. I wish I had my own magic weapon."
"Isn't your artifact Hilde?"
"Hmm? Hilde is a human being, not a weapon."
"almost!"
Sophia looked at Xerxes who laughed and then walked out, feeling a little puzzled.
But now we have to face Hera!
Sophia turned around and said to Dione, "Let's go!"
"it is good!"
Just as the three were preparing to fight, the gate of Athens suddenly opened slowly. The Byzantine army, which was preparing to launch the next assault, looked at the gate of Athens in confusion, wondering, could it be that the Athenians were preparing to open the city and surrender?
At this time, Nicias was wearing heavy linen armor.
He raised the long sword in his hand and shouted to the front:
"All troops!!! Charge!"
"For Athens—!"
Nicias took the lead and rushed directly out of the gate of Athens.
At this time, the Byzantines reacted.
"The enemy is attacking!"
"Crossbowmen! Crossbowmen!!!"
The soldiers quickly raised their crossbows, but at this time, Nicias had already rushed to the front of the army. He turned his left hand and a strong airflow instantly disturbed the vision of the Byzantines. At the same time, he took advantage of this airflow and rushed directly into the army. The dagger in his hand was like the sickle of the god of death, and in an instant, he chopped down several soldiers.
Then, closely following Nicias, the Athenian temple guards rushed out. After pouring out of the city gate, these soldiers immediately set up their shields and advanced forward in a tight formation at a steady pace. In the chaos created by Nicias, they quickly approached the Byzantine army.
"The other side launched an attack."
Seeing this, Sophia grabbed Xerxes.
"Wait a moment."
"Um……"
The third tune, the seventh section, the gods in a ball
The opponent's god has not made a move yet.
Nicias was the first to rush out.
I guess it's to attract attention.
Such calculations still cannot fool Sophia.
At this time, Golgopas had also appeared in the battleground, holding a steel sword, and jumped directly in front of Nicias. The sudden appearance of an oracle made Nicias panic for a moment. This was the first time that Nicias faced a real oracle head-on. Nicias clenched his sword and said, "My name is Nicias, the oracle of Lord Hera!"
"Golgopas, oracle of Lord Dionysus."
"Then let me see how powerful you are!"
After saying this, Nicias rushed forward with his sword in hand.
The two of them collided suddenly, causing violent fluctuations.
"coming!"
At this time, the three of them felt a strong fluctuation of divine power at the same time.
Looking up, a giant god fell from the sky like a meteorite and suddenly hit the ground. The tremor caused by it could be felt from the ground. Under such a sense of oppression, the smile on Xerxes' face gradually disappeared. She saw a god she had never seen before, appearing not far away from her. The natural sense of oppression made Xerxes feel a little pressured.
"This is……"
Xerxes took a step forward.
"Could it be Hercules?"
"Humph."
Hercules snorted coldly, which was considered as confirming Xerxes' answer.
Without saying anything more, Hercules rushed towards Xerxes like a bull, with a momentum that seemed to be able to destroy everything.
"So direct? I like it!"
Xerxes reached out and snapped his fingers.
Then, a thick wall of fire suddenly appeared in the path that Hercules had to pass.
The blazing flames made Hercules slow down, and then he suddenly jumped up, clasped his hands together, and smashed down hard towards where Xerxes was. Xerxes dodged quickly, and then several golden-red firebirds appeared beside her, circling and flying towards Hercules. These scorching firebirds seemed to want to pierce Hercules' body.
"Ow!"
Hercules was unable to dodge.
The body was hit by the firebird, and the skin, which was as rough as rock, was also burned by the flames.
However, he simply extinguished the flames, and the burned skin healed quickly.
"interesting……"
Xerxes probably understood.
The guy in front of me has been waiting for something to happen for a long time.
It has already been in its heyday.
It is much more powerful than the original Apollo.
However, it was also because of this that Xerxes understood how important the task Hilde had given him was. If Heracles was not dealt with, then all of Hilde's efforts over the years would be wasted... Moreover, Xerxes always felt that he owed Hilde a lot, and that Hilde would have to help him deal with his future affairs. Now, while he was still able to exert his strength, he would help Hilde solve this big problem!
"bring it on!!!"
Two balls of flame appeared in Xerxes' hands at the same time.
Then she suddenly clasped her palms together.
The two flames merged, and suddenly burst into a scorching red light, and a strong heat wave seemed to engulf everything around it.
Even Hercules could not help but look at the strange scene in front of him in surprise. The red flames climbed up along Xerxes' body to the top of her head. Her long black hair also turned into a dazzling red color under the burning of the flames. Her amber eyes were filled with golden light, as if the sun existed in her eyes. Then, a strong and irresistible divine power surged around her body.
"Vulcan..."
Hercules asked:
"Are you the Oracle of Hephaestus?"
"Humph, I'm not a low-level being like the Oracle."
Xerxes said disdainfully.
"Yes, you have probably never seen the power of Ahura Mazda."
"Of course I have, but..."
Hercules had also experienced the Greco-Persian War. When the Greco-Persian War was at its worst, the Greek Oracle and the Persian Oracle fought to the death. At that time, Hercules had seen the Persian Oracle with his own eyes, but... there was a world of difference between him and Xerxes in front of him.
Just as Xerxes said just now.
She is not some low-level being like an oracle.
Indeed, Hercules did not think that this was a mockery.
But it is a sentence - a word of true confidence.
"That's it!"
Hercules put the conjecture in his mind aside.
He stood up straight and looked at Xerxes surrounded by flames.
"In that case, let me experience your divine power."
"bring it on--!!!"
Hercules was born brave and unstoppable. Facing the Hercules, Xerxes did not dare to confront him directly. Now, Xerxes has almost become the incarnation of fire. The fire of Ahura Mazda can purify everything in the world. Of course, although this fire will purify himself and the whole world in the end, Xerxes still has to use this power.
The blazing red flames formed a tornado of flames, raging on the deserted battlefield. In order to avoid hurting innocent people, Xerxes moved the battlefield where he and Hercules fought to an open flat ground. Here, the Byzantine army had already withdrawn, and they knew it in their hearts. Now, the battle between Hercules and Xerxes was something that mortals like them could not participate in at all.
"This is……"
Hera floating in the sky.
He looked in amazement at Xerxes and Hercules fighting each other.
She originally thought she had a sure win.
Now I have some small concerns.
However, since the opponent's strongest force has now fought with Hercules, this means that the opponent only has a few oracles left. Hera has no confidence in fighting an opponent like Xerxes, but if she has to face the next oracle, Hera is still quite confident.
She flew straight towards the Byzantine army's tent.
"Hera is coming for us."
"it is good!"
At this time, Sophia and Dione looked at each other and nodded in confirmation.
Underestimating the enemy.
It was obvious that Hera underestimated her enemy.
Otherwise, Hera would never have rushed over so recklessly.
However, this is just right.
"bring it on!!!"
Dione chose to rush to the front. She jumped out of the big tent and pulled the bowstring directly at Hera in the sky.
The third chapter, the eighth chapter, the extremely strange divine power
"What!?"
Looking at the blonde girl who suddenly rushed out.
And the golden light in her hand.
Hera was startled and tried to dodge to the side.
At this time, Dione's divine power had already gathered on the Golden Bow of the Sun, and the condensed arrow, shining with dazzling golden light, flew directly towards Hera with surging divine power. A golden light streaked across the sky and flashed across Hera's face. Hera almost didn't dodge it, but the strong sense of danger made Hera shocked.
