The enemy they face today is the Scythians.
What are the Scythians? They are barbarians! One of the many nations conquered by Hilder!
Because of this, the Scythians, who mainly used cavalry, adopted infantry tactics to fight the Spartans head-on, and actually suffered less casualties than the Spartans. Lysander couldn't imagine what would happen if the Byzantine main force, which mainly used infantry, fought head-on with the Spartan army.
"Then I'll leave this to you first."
Ares patted Lysander on the shoulder.
"I will accompany you."
"...Thank you, Lord Ares."
Lysander was at a loss for words.
As long as God is here, everything will be fine.
As for Ares, he stayed here and went to Athens with the coalition forces mainly to wait and see what would happen. He had lost interest in the Genesis Original Library, or rather, he dared not be interested in it. After seeing how terrifying that thing was, Ares knew that if he continued to dwell on that power, he would end up dead without a burial place. So, what Ares had to do was to wait here for an opportunity, an opportunity to return to the realm of the gods. He had to find reinforcements and explain what happened today to the other gods.
If Artemis is right...
Zeus betrayed everyone.
Ares really didn't know what to do.
Although he also had greedy ideas, he did not have such a big conspiracy.
Moreover, Hilde's strength was obviously stronger than his own. If he did not call for help, he would not be able to get rid of Hilde. But if Hilde was eliminated, the original book of creation would return to Zeus's hands. This contradictory situation was lingering in Ares' mind. Although he was not smart, he was also experienced. The current situation really posed a problem for him.
Now, we can only take one step at a time.
Ares thought so.
——————————Dividing line——————————
"Ha ha……"
"Huh, is the power of the Night Goddess Nyx limited to this extent?"
Sophia gasped and knelt on one knee.
Her clothes were torn in many places, and there were even some wounds that were oozing blood.
The situation of Hera in front of her was not much better. The gorgeous divine clothing was also torn in many places, especially the wound on the abdomen was particularly obvious. The wound was caused by Sophia's invincible headbutt. The sharp horns on her head directly pierced Hera's abdomen, leaving two bleeding wounds. However, even so, Hera's condition was much better than Sophia's. After a period of fierce fighting, Sophia's physical strength and concentration were almost at their limit.
But, being able to fight a god like Hera like this.
This is enough to show that Sophia's strength is so powerful that it is unbelievable.
At this time, Hera said coldly:
Chapter 6, Section 9: Sophia was taken away
"So, where does Nyx's power come from?!"
"I, I don't know..."
Sophia struggled to stand up.
"It could be, it's Master Nyx, you see I'm pitiful."
"Nonsense!"
Hera waved her hand, her eyes wide open, and she said angrily: "Nyx, Nyx... These guys have disappeared from this world and are no longer in existence! Why do their oracles still exist in this world!"
"how could I know……"
Sophia was stunned for a moment.
"That's what I was wondering, why have I never seen Lady Nyx's true appearance? It turns out she has disappeared."
"All the truth, when the time comes--"
Hera looked fierce and stretched out her hand towards Sophia.
Sophia's body flew uncontrollably towards Hera.
Hera grabbed Sophia's neck, and now, Sophia could do nothing but show her pain. After all, Sophia had no more strength, and Hera's power was terrible, and she could break Sophia's neck at any time. However, Hera would not kill Sophia, because Sophia was far more important to her than others.
"I'm going to take you to Olympus."
"...Then you might as well kill me."
"It would be a pity to kill you. I want to see where Nyx is hiding and why she has an oracle like you. Then, following the divine power in your body, we will be able to find Nyx's hiding place." Hera sneered and looked at the battlefield of Athens. "Your existence is far more meaningful than Athens!"
"Well……"
Sophia gritted her teeth.
Hera took Sophia directly and flew into the sky.
At this time, Dione struggled to get up from the ground.
She looked at Sophia who was captured by Hera, and now she had no way to deal with it. In the previous battle, Dione also tried her best, but she did not find a chance to defeat Hera. Instead, Hera seized the opportunity and beat Dione seriously. Later, when Dione's body recovered and was able to stand up, she found that Sophia had failed and was captured by Hera.
"Sophia!!!"
Dione tried to draw the bow in her hand.
However, it was difficult to gather divine power into the bow again.
On the other side, Xerxes, who was fighting with Hercules, immediately flew towards Hera after discovering this situation. However, before she could fly far, Hercules suddenly fell from the sky like a big meteorite and hit Xerxes in front of him.
"Don't even think about running away."
Hercules' body shone with the luster of granite.
That is the result of repeated burning under the burning fire.
"asshole--!!!"
How could Xerxes watch Sophia being taken away like this!
She waved her hand, and the rising flames condensed into a huge firebird, and then flew directly towards Hercules. Hercules did not dodge, but put his hands in front of himself, like a stone statue, and collided with the firebird. The flames produced by the explosion were like waves, sweeping thousands of meters away, burning everything around Hercules.
"it's useless."
Hercules said coldly:
"Your attacks are no longer effective against me."
"you……"
"Your strength is very strong, but it's still a little lacking."
Hercules shook his hands to clear the flames from his arms. Then, he stood up and looked at Xerxes in front of him: "Originally, I thought you were also a god, but I found that your use of divine power is not up to standard. You are still too weak. You can't kill me, and of course, I can't kill you either."
"Then don't stop me!!!"
Xerxes suddenly flew high into the sky.
At this time, she herself turned into a huge firebird.
Flying over Athens.
The soldiers fighting on the ground watched as a dazzling golden firebird suddenly appeared in the darkness above their heads, like the legendary phoenix. It was huge, with wings of fire that seemed to cover the sky. As it flapped its wings, they could see sparks falling slowly from the sky like fluttering petals. When the sparks fell on the ground, the plants on the ground would be directly devoured by the high temperature.
"Don't even think about leaving!"
Hercules grabbed a stone directly from the side.
This piece of stone is more than ten meters long and weighs countless tons.
However, Hercules lifted the stone easily, then he turned his body and threw the stone high up. The huge stone flew into the air and flew towards the flying Firebird.
Xerxes' attention was all on Hera, so she naturally didn't notice the huge rock that suddenly appeared behind her. Soon, the huge rock fell from a height and hit Xerxes' back hard. A rock hit the firebird, and the flames on the firebird suddenly splashed everywhere. The firebird also lost its balance and fell headfirst into the farmland next to it. What followed was a sky-high flame that seemed to be able to devour everything in the world and illuminate the night sky.
And then, a crack suddenly appeared in the night sky.
Then, they formed a barrier in the night sky.
It shattered in an instant.
The sun began to shine through the gaps, and then the night sky with the bright stars suddenly shattered into countless pieces, and then disappeared into the sky. After the sun shone in, it illuminated the land that had become a mess because of the battle. At this time, people discovered that the blood of the soldiers had dyed the ground red, and the land burned by the flames became dark and messy.
"Sophia..."
Xerxes struggled to get up from the ground.
The huge rock just now did hurt her.
She looked up at the sky, and Sophia's breath was gone.
"Damn, damn!"
She turned around and looked at Hercules.
Hercules was clearly ready for the fight, he did not run away, but looked at Xerxes calmly, as if to say, if you want to fight, come and fight me. Xerxes knew very well that after Sophia was captured by Hera, she would not be able to come back for a while - so Hercules who stopped him just now became a thorn in Xerxes's side.
"You guy..."
"I have to stop you."
Hercules said calmly:
The flaw in the tenth section of the sixth tune was caught by someone
"That girl has a power that has disappeared from this world."
"asshole--!!!"
Xerxes' flame reappeared beside her.
The red flames that shot up into the sky were like Xerxes' anger. The scorching air waves caused the surrounding air to begin to distort. Seeing this scene, Hercules couldn't help but show a surprised expression. He had to admit that Xerxes was indeed very strong. Although he was still a little bit inferior to the gods, it was a very remarkable thing for a mortal body to withstand such a powerful force.
The powerful divine power is difficult for the human body to bear. Before becoming Hercules, Heracles was a demigod with Zeus' blood flowing in his body. Therefore, when he developed powerful divine power, Heracles was destined to be completely different from the Oracle. His body was strong enough to withstand the pressure brought by the powerful divine power, but humans, due to their weak bodies, could not achieve this goal.
And Xerxes in front of him.
You can do it——
So, in the eyes of Hercules.
He suddenly realized something.
"You're overdrawing your body."
"……what are you saying?"
"You are just a mortal body, you certainly can't bear the extremely powerful divine power. Therefore, you now have such a powerful force, you must be overdrawing your body. Or, your lifespan." Hercules saw Xerxes's stunned expression and took a step forward. "So, your strength has reached its limit. If you continue to fight, it will cause greater damage to your body, right?"
"Haha, hahaha..."
Xerxes suddenly let out a strange laugh.
She raised her head and looked at Hercules in front of her with her golden eyes.
"You're right about one thing."
"what?"
"I really don't have much time left to live, but so what? My life is coming to an end, not because my body can't bear this power, but because this power wants to replace me... So, before I burn you to ashes, please don't bother worrying about my body." Xerxes raised her hand, and the blazing flames quickly gathered in her hand. "You captured Sophia, I will make you, and the entire city of Athens, pay the price for your actions!!!"
"madman!"
Hercules said coldly.
However, facing the sudden gathering of flames.
The scorching airflow still forced Hercules to be careful.
This is different from the Firebird just now.
The firebird that Xerxes had just summoned was released in a hurry to stop Hera. Therefore, it posed no threat to Hercules. But now, Hercules knew very well that the opponent's divine power was quickly gathering in Xerxes' hands. The intense heat seemed to be able to melt an entire mountain. The last time Hercules felt this kind of oppression was when he saved Prometheus and faced the raging wrath of Zeus.
"go to hell!"
Xerxes suddenly took a step forward and rushed towards Hercules.
In her right hand, the flame turned into a slender flaming spear.
He stabbed Hercules in the face.
Hercules dodged quickly. It was impossible for him to resist the attack head-on with his hard body. Otherwise, he would be courting death. After that, Hercules retreated quickly, but the flames still brushed past his body, leaving a charred wound. The burning of this flame was more intense than the previous one. It caused Hercules to feel intense pain. As a god, he had not felt such direct pain for a long time.
