Myth: The Ruler of Spirituality

Chapter 739 - 262: The Disparities of Love_2

The descent of all other gods was not yet complete; only she could not hold herself back. If so, the ambush would turn into a joke.

Dozens of deities struggled with dedication, only for him to easily depart alone; what a ludicrous scene this was.@@@@

Once today’s events spread, the vast majority of mortals would not understand the mysteries involved. They would just think that the gods were just that, which would then shake their status in the mortal realm...

"—No!"

Streaks of light flickered, suddenly halting in their sudden advance.

Looking at the blurred figure shrouded in divine light in front of him, Theseus suddenly felt a premonition.

From the outside, the form of the opponent was one he had never encountered before, but appearance was never the key issue.

After all, the vessel for a divine descent could also be a person; having different appearances was only normal. But now, as the distance closed, Theseus could sense two somewhat different divine presences.

"This power... you are not the Goddess of Agriculture."

"You are Hera!"

His voice was cold, his heart slightly heavy, but in an instant, Theseus understood the underlying reason.

The Goddess of Agriculture had been impersonated; under normal circumstances, it is impossible for one deity to disguise themselves as another for a divine descent.

After all, other things can be falsified, but divine power under the authority cannot be imitated.

However, today’s Eryxis was different.

This ancient city had existed for many years; it was Demeter’s Holy City and the source of her church in the mortal realm.

Here, disguise was most likely successful, and the authority over fertility of all things and Hera’s domain over birth had similar aspects. In the end, they were closely related by blood.

In such circumstances, concealing something no longer seemed so difficult... not to mention, they had other things to assist them.

Without looking up, Theseus could sense the shadow gradually enveloping the skies over Eryxis.

Corrupt and decaying power spread out, yet confined to a small patch of the sky.

If one were to gaze up at the sky from the city, the mortals would see the flowing lights suddenly stopping in place.

Next instant, beams of light fell from the sky, bringing with them the descent of one deity after another.

The War God, Ares.

The Goddess of Beauty, Aphrodite.

The Sea God, Poseidon.

The Goddess of Rainbows, Iris.

The Goddess of Harmony, Harmonia.

...

Divine light fell in succession, followed by the dispersal of divine presences.

Although they should have spread out, they were blocked by the shadow in the sky.

Of course, Theseus knew that even without that shadow, he really wouldn’t have any reinforcements.

Like how Demeter’s true form seldom stayed in Eryxis, Zeus rarely visited Olympia, and similarly, Athena rarely stayed in Athens.

After all, today’s mortal realm was a constraint for all gods. They could tolerate this ’narrowness’ for a short while but would not enjoy staying here indefinitely.

"Quite a spectacle, huh, Hera, should I feel honored?"

Drawing a deep breath, Theseus’s expression was somewhat mocking, yet his complexion visibly paled.

Behind him, a short dagger was plunged into his chest, dark red mist swirling around it, stopping the flow of his blood.

Just now, the heir he had protected behind him, the Prince of Athens, Demophon, had personally driven the dagger into his body. Now, Demophon stood beside the Heavenly Empress.

After the initial shock and anger, the King was now recalling the anomalies along the way.
