Poseidon was stunned.
He couldn't help but cover his face, his heart was in entanglement and hesitation.
This, this trident...
That is Poseidon's own artifact.
However, seeing Rhode crying, especially when he said that this was the first gift in her life, Poseidon was also moved. He was also a little annoyed when he heard Rhode sobbing. So, Poseidon made up his mind and waved his hand, saying unhappily: "Then you can keep it! I can't do anything about you! When you die of old age, I will take the trident back!"
"Hmm? Really?"
"I am God, and what I say is true!"
Poseidon sighed helplessly.
"Think about it, this trident will be useful if you keep it. Everyone knows that you are Poseidon's oracle. If you return one day without the trident, they will probably be suspicious. Moreover, as long as you don't use the Sea Serpent Sword in front of the gods, they should not realize that you are now a demigod with the power of Thesis."
"Thank you, Lord Poseidon!"
Rhodes, holding the trident, jumped up happily.
And Poseidon couldn't help but laugh.
"Oh, I really can't do anything about you."
"Then I will keep the trident for Lord Poseidon."
"Okay, take it."
Rhode looked like a little girl who bought a new dress. Even though Poseidon was here, Rhode held the trident while looking at the sea serpent sword on his waist. Then, Rhode waved his hand, and a stream of water condensed in front of Rhode, turning into a mirror formed by water. Rhode looked at himself repeatedly in front of the water mirror, which looked particularly cute.
Poseidon suddenly felt.
It seems like I haven’t seen such a scene for a long time.
He was stunned for a moment, then reacted.
"Now, we shouldn't delay here any longer." Poseidon said with a wry smile, "Now that you have the Sea Serpent Sword, you can come here easily if you want to come to Atlantis next time. Of course, Thesis' power can even drive this city sleeping at the bottom of Atlantis, but I don't know how to do it. It depends on your own discovery."
"Can I bring Sissi with me?"
Rhodes asked with a look of surprise.
Poseidon was stunned for a moment and nodded.
"Hilde? Of course."
"Hehe, after the war is resolved, I will bring Xixi here to play!"
Come here and play...
This is indeed Rhode's idea.
"Okay then, you can leave now."
"How do I leave?"
"Go back to where you came from, and then you will naturally know how to leave here. Remember, don't use the Sea Serpent Sword unless it is absolutely necessary. Of course, if you are ready to fight the gods to the death, then use it."
After listening to Poseidon's words.
Rhodes also nodded.
"Yes, I understand."
"Go back quickly. The sea fog has dissipated. Now, the two fleets have begun to deploy their troops and prepare for battle."
"……what?"
When Rhodes heard this, he turned around and ran away.
"Then I'll go now!!!"
"Humph."
Watching Rhodes' disappearing back.
Poseidon turned around and looked at the statue of Thesis in front of him.
"Dear Thesis, although I know that you have disappeared from this world, I believe that you can bless that child and the current human beings. After all, you have accepted her and must have been touched by her noble soul." Poseidon smiled bitterly and said helplessly, "It's a pity that this is all I can do. With your power, I believe that Rhodes' child can definitely help Hilde defeat Zeus's conspiracy... Well, I hope so."
Poseidon knew it well.
Rhodes is indeed powerful with the Sea Serpent Sword.
However, it is not strong enough to make people feel at ease.
However, there was one thing that Poseidon did not tell Rhodes.
If he had only accepted Thethis's power, Rhode would still be an oracle, but would be stronger than an ordinary oracle. However, Poseidon mentioned demigod just now, because Rhode not only accepted Thethis's power, but also accepted Thethis's godhood. Now, Rhode has become a godhood. The meaning of having a godhood is that her own power can be restored by herself. Even if she burns her own power, she can recover quickly after burning it out. This is also the most significant difference between an oracle and a demigod.
And Rhodes is the being with godhood.
Including Hilde.
After the original library of creation set up that barrier.
It is impossible for humans to form such a thing as godhood within themselves, even the children of gods and humans.
If this child grew up in the human world, he would have divine power but not godhood. But now, Poseidon knew that Hilde already had a strong godhood, and her power was growing. Rhodes accepted Thesis' godhood, and although it was not strong enough, it made her a well-deserved demigod.
To build the next Protoss.
Could it be people like Hilde?
Poseidon felt that this result should not be bad.

A thick fog surrounded the island of Delos.
An hour has now passed.
The Athenian fleet knew that the Byzantine fleet was less than 30 kilometers southwest of Delos. In order to avoid being surrounded, the Athenian fleet immediately responded and, under the command of the commander, assembled on the northwest side of Delos. Afterwards, they split into two groups, intending to surround the Byzantine fleet that was anchored on the sea and waiting for Rhodes.
The Athenians were right. At present, the Byzantine fleet was parked in a narrow place. Because Rhodes had dived into the seabed and had not made any movement for a long time, the fleet had lost its commander, so they could only wait. No one thought that Rhodes would get into trouble. After all, Rhodes was the oracle of the sea god, and the sea was Rhodes' home. How could it be possible that the sea would become the killer who destroyed Rhodes?
Because of this terrain, if the Athenian fleet attacks from the front and back, the Byzantine fleet's advantage will not be fully utilized. The Byzantine fleet has super-large three-oared warships with enhanced sail design, which is more suitable for fighting in open waters. Now, there are many islands and reefs everywhere, which is not suitable for large fleets to move and deploy formations, but it is easy to expose their weaknesses.
Chapter 5, Section 10: The God of War in Danger
At this time, if the fleet encircles the enemy from the front and back and uses small warships to accelerate and ram the Byzantine large warships, it can cause very heavy losses.
But Amyntas was not idle.
When the fog cleared.
Amyntas immediately sent the reconnaissance ship to conduct reconnaissance in the surrounding area.
Sure enough, the movements of the Athenian fleet were seen.
Although Amyntas planned to continue waiting for Rhode, he thought that Rhode was not someone who needed special care. Moreover, the fleet was facing great danger, and Amyntas could not put the fleet in danger no matter what.
Therefore, Amyntas had to give the order for the fleet to weigh anchor and set sail immediately, but to leave this dangerous sea area first. At the same time, they had to prepare for a decisive battle with the Athenian fleet.
Although the Byzantine Kingdom had an oracle like Rhodes who could be very willful at sea, all officers and soldiers had been taught by Hilde from the beginning of the construction of the Byzantine fleet until today that the Byzantine Kingdom's fleet should not rely on a certain oracle, and should become the most powerful fleet in the world even if the oracle was not there.
So even if Rhodes didn't come back now.
Amyntas didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
It's just that it might cause greater losses than when Rhodes was here.
If this naval battle was lost or could not be fought because of Rhodes' absence, it would only prove that the Byzantine fleet that Hilde had spent a huge amount of money to build was pure waste. Rather, all the officers and soldiers of the fleet hoped that through this battle, they would prove that the Byzantine fleet was not just an appendage under Rhodes' divine power, but had the real ability to rule the Aegean Sea.
After the sea fog completely dissipated.
The Byzantine fleet sailed out of this dangerous sea.
They passed through an area full of reefs and small islands and came to a relatively open sea southwest of Delos. This action of the Byzantine fleet caused the Athenian fleet's encirclement plan to fail.
Although the sea breeze is not strong and the sea is narrow, the large warships equipped by the Byzantine fleet are superior to the Athenian warships in terms of structural design, so they have higher flexibility. After learning this news, the Athenians also knew that the possibility of defeating the Byzantine fleet by the same way they defeated the Persians last time was almost zero, but the Athenian fleet had nowhere to go. If they retreated now, Delos would be handed over to the Byzantines.
That would be a dead end.
The previous war with the Spartans and the subsequent expansion of the Byzantine Empire led to the loss of almost all of Athens' overseas colonies. And now, if the Athenian fleet continued to retreat, it would undoubtedly be tantamount to handing over the city of Athens to the Byzantines.
This was a situation that had been forced upon them. All the soldiers and officers on the Athenian warships knew this. If they lost this battle or fled, Athens might really be finished. After all, the people in the Athenian fleet did not know that Hera was protecting Athens, and their connection with Athens had been completely cut off.
So the Athenians could only hope.
Through the rich combat experience of the Athenian fleet, they could find the flaws of the Byzantine fleet, and then find an opportunity to severely damage the Byzantine fleet, even if it meant that both sides would suffer losses. Even if both sides suffered losses, they could ensure that the Byzantine fleet would lose the possibility of threatening the port of Piraeus in Athens.

The battle has entered a fever pitch.
In the north of Megara.
The battle between Hilde and Ares has been going on for some time.
As the battle with Hilde continued, Ares's initial shock gradually turned into a strong anger. Hilde was very strong, he admitted that, as the god of war, Ares did not mind fighting with a strong man, but what made him very unhappy was that Hilde's divine power was very strange, it would disrupt Ares' divine power, causing Ares to be unable to concentrate sometimes.
This feeling is like when you are ready and intend to compete with others, suddenly, the other party uses lime or other dirty tricks to disturb your state, which makes you unable to use your full strength and have to pay attention to such emergencies at all times. Under such circumstances, Ares naturally becomes more and more annoyed, and the anger in his heart is constantly accumulating like a volcano before it erupts.
"asshole……"
Ares has been hit multiple times by Hilde.
Even though it was just a scratch on the skin.
With Ares' divine power, he recovered quickly.
But this was different from the previous situations. Ares had been stabbed by Athena's oracle before, but at that time, the opponent suddenly launched an attack, which caught Ares off guard and resulted in injury. But now, he and Hilde were in a head-on confrontation. Originally, Ares planned to take advantage of this time to directly get rid of Hilde and take over the Original Book of Creation, but as of now, Ares was at a disadvantage.
If the fight continues like this, Ares will not know how the situation will develop. After all, Hilde is now very proactive and her offensive is very fierce. There was even a time when Ares could not withstand it.
But what surprised Ares the most was.
On Hilde.
He also has the ability to restore his divine power freely.
Although Ares had long known that Hilde was definitely not an ordinary oracle, and that he was more likely to have inherited the body of Athena and possess the same power as a demigod or even a god, based on what he had felt so far, Hilde's strength was much stronger than he had initially known. Now, Ares was somewhat regretful. Why had he and Hera decided to find an opportunity to fight Ares alone? As a result, it turned out to be like this.
Now Ares could understand Zeus' decision.
As expected, Zeus would let so many gods take action.
It must be taking Hield's level into consideration.
"Is this all you have?"
At this time, Hilde waved the spear in his hand.
She floated in the air, holding a spear in her right hand and a shield in her left hand. Her majestic appearance was exactly the same as Athena's. Seeing this scene, Ares could also feel the pressure coming at him. However, Hilde was completely different from Athena, or in other words, they could not be the same kind of existence. The murderous intent and sense of urgency shown by Hilde were not the same as the previous Athena.
The first section of the sixth tune was something I never expected
"you this……"
Ares clenched the spear in his hand.
Although Hilde now has a completely different style from Athena.
However, this condescending look at herself was exactly the same as Athena's back then.
Being looked at by that familiar gaze hurt Ares's unruly heart. As the god of war, Ares had been fighting with the goddess of war Athena for so long, but he had always been defeated by Athena, which made Ares very frustrated. And the situation now was the same, Hilde was still the same, this guy who inherited Athena's body could actually make himself so embarrassed!
However, Ares will not give in this time.
No matter what, Athena is still the daughter of Zeus.
A serious Olympian god.
And what is Hilde in front of me! ?
"You despicable thief!"
"Thief, what did I steal?" Hilde laughed coldly, "My body was given to me by Lady Athena, and the original book of creation was also snatched from Zeus by Lady Athena. My spear was made by Hephaestus himself and then given to me by Artemis. And my shield is a relic of Lady Athena. It seems that there is no problem for me, the successor of Lady Athena, to use it, right?"
"Shut up!"
Ares suddenly swung his spear and rushed towards Hilde.
