Chapter 121: The Poseidon is here
When she woke up again, she found that she had no strength in her body, her eyes were glazed, her lips were chapped, her upper belly was almost broken against her lower belly, and she wanted to close her eyes and sleep......
She felt that she might be dying, but there seemed to be a strong will in her heart that supported her, and it was a struggle, for hope, for faith, and for the thousands of people who died and will die, she had to persevere, and she had to fight again!
She opened her eyes desperately, and she saw a white temple, and saw the white jade statue of Poseidon standing in the center of the altar, and she was kneeling in front of it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
She understood that she was still Nala. Roland, but why is she here? What is this place?
Just a small surprise, a piece of information quietly appeared in her sea of consciousness, this is the temple of Poseidon in the pyramid, she came here to pray to the god of the sea in the form of hunger strike, asking the god of the sea to come forward to save his people, his descendant on earth, Prince Casey.
Not so long ago, Prince Casey was imprisoned in a dungeon on charges of blasphemy, and the Supreme Shrine announced that he would be burned at the stake three days later, while the Temple of Poseidon and the King of Atlantis were silent.
It was at that time that she was already grief-stricken, and she suddenly discovered that it contained unusual information: why the Temple of Zeus? And not the temple of Poseidon, the patron saint of Atlantis?
The beliefs on the continent of Atlantis are relatively simple, mainly believing in Poseidon, the god of the sea, although there are also believers and temples of Zeus, the god of the gods, but they are relatively only a minority.
Poseidon is said to have been the second brother of Zeus, the god of gods, who, along with Zeus's eldest brother Hades, helped Zeus overthrow the tyrannical rule of their father, the former god-king Kronos. Later, they divided their sphere of influence by drawing lots, and Poseidon gained control of the sea and the continent of Atlantis, and became the god of the sea, Poseidon. When Hades gained control of the underworld, he became the god of the underworld - Hades, and Zeus became the god of the gods - Zeus.
The Kingdom of Atlantis is the only kingdom on the continent of Atlantis, and its successive kings are descendants of Poseidon, the god of the sea.
According to legend, Poseidon was very fond of beautiful women, and he had many wives. Amphitrite, the queen of the sea, was the most beautiful fairy in the sea before marrying the god of the sea, and one day she danced with her sisters on the island of Nagassos, and Poseidon took a fancy to her, and without her consent, pounced on her like a great shark. The fairy dived to the bottom of the sea in terror, and Poseidon immediately sent a dolphin to chase her, but Amphitrite was no match for her, and finally she was so tired that she had to sit on the dolphin's back and become Poseidon's bride.
Later, he fell in love with his sister goddess of agriculture, Demeter. In order to escape him, Demeter became a horse and hid in the herd of Ogugues, and Poseidon became a peony horse and raped Demeter into a horse.
In addition to liking beautiful goddesses, Poseidon also likes beautiful female humans, and even the beautiful centaur Medusa. The first king of the kingdom of Atlantis, the son of Poseidon and a beautiful female human, he and his successors represented the sea god Poseidon in the control of the continent of Atlantis, and was also the supreme shrine of the Great Temple of Poseidon.
It is also for this reason that the main belief on the continent of Atlantis is still the belief in Poseidon, the god of the sea, and even the capital of the Atlantis Kingdom is also called Poseidon. But as the god of gods, Zeus's faith is omnipresent, and the continent of Atlantis cannot reject it.
Prince Casey was punished for blasphemy by the Temple of Zeus, while the Temple of Poseidon remained silent, what does it mean?
Clever she still found a glimmer of hope in it, because it meant that the will of Zeus, the god of the gods, was not approved by Poseidon, the god of the sea. Although, as the god of the gods, as a god, Zeus's will is supreme and does not need to be recognized by any other gods, but this is the continent of Atlantis after all, the kingdom of Poseidon, the god of the sea.
What's more, the Temple of Zeus announced that Prince Casey had committed the crime of blaspheming the gods, which was also not recognized by the ordinary people of Atlantis. Prince Casey only investigated the cause of the disaster in the city of Kaya, and he suspected that the disaster might be related to the gods, but he did not clearly indicate that it was the work of the gods, let alone the god of the gods, Zeus, why did he say that he blasphemed the supreme god Zeus?
Moreover, as more and more evidence is exposed, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the plague disaster in Kaye City is by no means gratuitous, it is not just a natural disaster, and there is indeed something strange in it.
The religious beliefs of the city of Kaya are different from those of other city-states, and nearly half of the people believe in both the god of the sea and the god, so it is also the most god-believing city-state on the continent of Atlantis. The earliest report of the plague was reported to have occurred near a temple of Zeus, and it was a member of the temple's clergy who contracted the disease. Knowing that he was ill, the clergy continued to go out frequently to preach miracles and meet with the faithful in the diocese one by one, which allowed the epidemic to spread. Moreover, this clergyman is a psychic.
The earliest miracle is said to have been in the temple of Zeus, where the clergy was, and during the priest's regular prayers, the statue of Zeus emitted a dazzling white light, as if God had really possessed it.
When the plague first began to spread, miracles were frequent, usually at dusk. At that time, the sun had just set below the horizon, and the sky was still covered with colorful sunsets, and the image of God was presented in the glow, and the glorious image came to life.
Seeing such a miracle, the people of the whole city spat out "holy" and knelt down in prayer, and their tears were filled with tears and passion, and their faith in God reached an unprecedented height. However, in just a few months after that, the whole city was almost completely dead, and the appearance of the miracle was simply a reminder, which could not help but make one wonder if there was something strange in it.
What is even more strange is that when the priest and psychic master of the Temple of Poseidon prayed to the god of the sea, asking the god of the sea to issue an oracle on this matter, the god of the sea remained silent in a rare way. As the protector of the continent of Atlantis and the ancestor of the kings of the kingdom, Poseidon, the god of the sea, has never left this continent. In the past, even if anyone lost a treasure and prayed to the god of the sea, it was possible to get the guidance of the gods, but now the death of millions of people in Kaye City, the god of the sea has not responded!
"Why the hell is that?"
Almost everyone is suspicious that the tragedy of Kaba City is God's design, and it may well have touched the bottom line of the sea god. Poseidon, the god of the sea, is violent, willful, but notoriously short-sighted, and his silence does not mean forbearance, but the darkness before dawn, the calm before the storm.
It was with this consideration that she entered the temple in the pyramid with a glimmer of hope to express the mortal struggle against God in the form of a hunger strike, so as to strengthen the will of the sea god.
"The great god of the sea, the great guardian of Atlantis, it is you who have established this kingdom with your own hands, and it is you who have made the people here prosperous, healthy and safe, so you are the only supreme in this kingdom!
Have you forgotten? It was you who taught our ancestors how to fish, how to hunt, how to heal diseases, how to cultivate crops, how to gather minerals, it was you who helped them build the first village, the first town, the first city-state, the first country, it was you who established every law, every system, every ritual for this new nation, and you even left an eternal promise on the stone tablet with your own divine blood: as long as mankind always believes in you, you will always protect them until eternity! Have you forgotten all this?
Don't you know that your people are being slaughtered at will, that the kingdom you have built is crumbling, that the laws you have established are being destroyed, and that the promises you have written in your blood are being questioned?
I know what you're hesitating about, and I know what a terrible opponent you're facing, but what's that? Prince Cathy, your descendant on earth, would rather be burned on the cross for the sake of his faith than make a false confession; I am a small mortal woman, who can die of thirst and starvation in front of you for the sake of faith; Look at the thousands of people outside the temple, all of whom could have given their lives for the future of Atlantis and for your glory. As a great deity, why should you hesitate for the sake of your inviolability of dignity, for the eternity of your kingdom, and for the sake of your fearless faith?
……
What a coward you are! A coward does not deserve to have so many beautiful wives, not to have so loyal to your people, and not to have the title of God. Are you angry? Or still pretending not to hear?
If you're angry, kill me! I am ashamed to believe in such a cowardly deity, so I would rather die and let my soul disappear as well. If you are really angry, after killing me, kill all the people of this kingdom as well, for they despise such a cowardly god as well, and we blush for you......"
She didn't know how long she had prayed, she couldn't even remember what she had said, only that her throat was hoarse, her strength to speak was getting less and less, and as time went on, the despair in her heart grew thicker and her language became more and more extreme. As a psychic master, she has never offended the gods, let alone such accusations, and now she has given up everything.
She couldn't hold on to her knees anymore, her whole body falling on her side on the crystal floor, the cold stimulation keeping her awake for the last moment. Still, it was quite difficult, and all kinds of visions had appeared in front of her eyes. She seemed to see Prince Casey tied to a high cross, surrounded by piles of dry firewood; She seemed to see the angry cries of countless people, the sad and desperate eyes of women and children, the barren farmland, the rampant monsters, the depressed city-states, and the flames of war......
Just as her consciousness was gradually leaving her, suddenly, the first light seemed to appear in front of her eyes, and then the second and third rays...... Until, the whole temple became a world of light.
"What is this?"
The last cry from the depths of her soul strongly stimulated her nerves, and she desperately opened her extremely heavy eyelids, only to suddenly find that the statue in front of her had turned into a dazzling light - Poseidon, the god of the sea, finally came!
