Chapter 432: Pantheon
"Paying for your life?" Hearing Hephaestus say this, Eric couldn't help but sneer, and his cold gaze swept over the gods in the air behind the eyepieces, "Just you old gods? ”
"Don't be rude, mortal." A blue figure suspended in the air spoke, "You, as a mortal, have killed the Titans and broken the rules of thousands of years. The rules are that you must be summarily executed. ”
"I don't remember ever promising to follow such a rule." Eric said coldly, lifting the Excalibur and swinging it in the air, the invisible sword qi slashed in front of him, leaving a deep sword mark on the ground. The sword qi echoed in all directions, causing the leaves in the forest to make a swaying sound, and even the gods couldn't help but be secretly frightened when they sensed the enormity of this power.
"Want my life? It's easy. He said coldly, "There are more people who want my life, whether you are a god or something - first you have to have the ability to cut off my head." ”
"You're fighting the gods." The blue shadow on the other end spoke angrily, "You don't want the Pantheon to be your enemy. ”
"Why not?" Eric chuckled, "Sounds interesting. ”
Listening to his arrogant words, the gods couldn't help but look at each other. The sun god Apollo calculated that the Pantheon had no way to use Lapitus as the ultimate weapon to destroy them all, which shows that the strength of the Titan Rapitus is above them. And Eric killed Lapitus with his own hands, and his strength is undoubtedly higher than that of Lapitus.
So the problem is that even if this mortal who slew the god ignores their bluff and refuses to accept the execution, they will not have the courage to go to war with him.
At this time, Superman and Wonder Woman also fell to Eric's side one left and one right.
"Great gods, I beg you to spare this human." Diana said in a loud voice, "He is my friend, and he is the one who saved Paradise Island and the Pantheon, and he deserves to be commended." ”
"But the rules of theocracy are also absolute." A god said.
"That's an old rule. The rules are dead, and if someone sets them out, they can naturally be modified. If the gods really refuse to be accommodating, then this man is my companion, comrade-in-arms, and benefactor of Paradise Island. So when the time comes, I'll have to stand up for him and fight the gods! ”
The gods were in an uproar, and one of the gods directly asked angrily, "Are you going to be our enemy for the sake of this mortal, Diana?" ”
"And me." Superman also stepped forward, firmly and authentically.
They have also seen the performance of Superman just now, although he is neither human nor god, but his ability has indeed reached the level of a god, and the gods of Olympus are quite jealous of him. Seeing that he and Wonder Woman expressed their positions one after another, they immediately hesitated.
After some discussion, the gods seem to have finally come to a consensus.
"Well, for Diana's sake, I'll make an exception to let you go once today. But remember, the next is not an example. ”
In the end, after not forgetting to put up the shelf, the phantoms in the air disappeared one after another. The suspended golden pillars and the golden ceiling have disappeared one after another, and there is no trace of them.
This time, it's finally over.
Generally speaking, men are absolutely forbidden to go to paradise islands, but due to the special circumstances, Queen Hippolyta did not pursue it. She even presented Eric and Superman with an honorary award from the Amazons, whom the warriors of the women regarded as the savior heroes of Paradise Island.
In fact, Death Knell also had an award, but he himself was not interested in it at all, and left the island with his client Hephaestus one step ahead. But that's fine, because if her mother insisted on giving the murderer a medal, Diana would never agree.
A day later, on the watchtower.
Eric's room on the watchtower wasn't huge, but it had pretty much everything it should have. Raven followed Eric to his room, and after looking around, his eyes fell on the window of the room.
Outside the window, in the direction of the Earth, the blue planet floats in the dark universe, occupying all the view, looking beautiful and lonely.
"So, this is your room?" Raven asked, "Does everyone in the Justice League have a room like this?" ”
"Almost, except that only Jon and I live on it." "Everyone else has their own lives. ”
After a pause, he smiled: "If you want, I can give you another too." ”
Raven said, "Okay, then I'll want this one." ”
After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled.
"So many things happened when I didn't know it." Revane sighed again, "You said you killed a god? ”
"A Titan, the god Olympus is a descendant of the Titans...... But it's pretty much the same. ”
"Killing a god is no small matter."
"Of course not, the Pantheon guys want me to pay for my life."
Raven was taken aback: "And how did you survive?" ”
"Nothing, don't worry." Eric smiled and touched her head, "Those gods are just talking, but they don't dare to do anything...... It's all in the past. ”
Raven sighed, "You were fighting desperately again when I didn't know it...... At the most critical moment, I am always away from you. ”
"Yes." Eric smiled and patted the heart on his chest, "It's always been here." Without you, I would never have been where I am today. ”
As he spoke, the door slid open. Wonder Woman appeared at the door and smiled, "Did I disturb you?" ”
Raven thought that they must have important things to talk about in the alliance, so he waved his hand and said, "No." You can talk right here, and I'll go and take a walk around the tower. ”
With that, she got up, greeted the woman politely, and left the room.
Diana walked into the room and chuckled, "She's pretty good, treat her well." ”
Eric raised an eyebrow, "You're not going to come out of your way to tell me this, are you?" ”
"Of course not." Diana paused and said, "First of all, if it weren't for you this time, I wouldn't have been able to solve Lapitus, and I'm afraid that Paradise Island would have been destroyed long ago...... I owe you a thank you. ”
"No need, princess. As you said, we're comrades, aren't we? ”
"Indeed." Diana said, "Batman said he didn't trust you, but now I don't agree with him. Maybe I shouldn't have told you ......"
After hesitating, she said, "...... I think you should know that Batman is working on how to deal with you in case ......"
"Just in case I lose control one day?" Eric wasn't surprised, if Batman hadn't done it, he wouldn't have been Batman.
"I know, he's been doing it since we first met." "And I think it's necessary. To be honest, sometimes when I think about it, I don't feel like myself anymore. If the day I was worried about did come, I was hoping that someone like Batman would be prepared in advance. ”
"That day won't come, I trust you." Diana said firmly, "Even if you really lose control one day, I won't give up on you." I'll help you find yourself...... It's like you helped me this time in the abyss of Lapites. ”
Eric stared into her beautiful, resolute eyes and couldn't help but smile, as if he had never been so relieved in his life.
