302, too handsome
If the process of Marduk's incarnation of Darius to establish the Potz Empire is the confirmation of his creation of the free heavenly world, then Zeus's desire to use the rise of Macedonia to unify the Heaton Peninsula and expand and conquer the entire Tianshu continent is his exploration of the achievement of a higher realm, and Amon is a very important part of it.
Sooner or later, the divine domain of the Olympian Heavenly Kingdom and the divine domain of Amun's "Angel Country" will collide, and if Amun still wants to gain a foothold in the human world and have the realm of the source of divine power, there may be two outcomes: one is to fall in the inevitable head-on conflict, and the other is that his divine domain will somehow merge into the Olympian divine domain and coexist.
In other words, if Amon loses the conflict and wants to fulfill his promise and leave a guide of faith on earth, then he may join the Olympian god system as a lord of the kingdom of heaven, allowing Zeus to integrate his "kingdom of angels" into the "kingdom of Olympus", which is an unprecedented attempt.
Amon is a god outside the Olympian god system, and Zeus, whether he succeeds or fails, at least will not cause the collapse and division of the Olympian heavenly kingdom. The process of all this is the path of Zeus to find a higher realm, and the day when he can try it is the most rare opportunity to come.
To put it in the simplest way that mortals can understand: what would Amun do if the Kingdom of Macedonia rose up and annexed the entire continent of Celestial Hub, including Eju? He was to keep his oath and leave a faith guide to heaven on earth, and unless he had fallen, he would cooperate with Zeus and let Zeus try another fusion.
Does Amon want to see this day? In fact, whether he wants it or not, he will have to make a choice at that time, and the beginning of it all has already happened, and Amon himself is involved. Artemis, as a god, had seen the sprouts, the seeds were sprouting, how could she not be worried about Amon?
This is true for Zeus, and it is a case for Amun. Amun is the "one and only god", and even without Zeus, what would Amun do if any of the angels he guided in the future had achieved the same level as him and could create a heavenly world?
The belief in Amun as the only god is also included in the achievements of the angels and their vows to join the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, the problem is not with such angels, but with Amun, the lord of heaven, who must be able to merge the newly created heavenly world created by the angels with the entire kingdom of heaven, regardless of each other, and become the new connotation and extension of the angelic kingdom.
Don't forget the vow Amun made at the beginning: "If I can become a god, what kind of god will I be?" I don't like those gods myself, or even dislike them, and with this kind of belief, no matter how much I cultivate, I can't become such a god, this is determined by the test of the power of the source."
If one day, when I will pass through the test of fate and the judgment of the end, my desire is not to join or establish such a god system and become such a god. I want to build a home of faith that can guide all those who aspire, rather than by whom the gods deliberately guide.
The so-called gods are no longer gods, but gods in people's beliefs, and people can choose a heavenly home in their lives, or endure the hellish torments in their hearts. This is my desire to become a god, and the path under my feet will eventually lead there. ”
Later, Amun became a god, and then Amun surpassed the creator god and created the kingdom of heaven, but his vow was not fully fulfilled. "The only god" is not only a title, the realm that Amun is asking for is actually higher than the realm that Zeus wants to verify, even incredible.
Amon has been working hard all along, just like the people of the world who work hard for their ideals, but for the gods, wishes, fulfillment and true fulfillment are two different things, and he has not yet fulfilled the vow he made before becoming a god, so he is still exploring, which is why he came to the Heaton Peninsula.
This is why Amon promised to cooperate with Zeus. But in Artemis's eyes, he was also shooting himself in the foot. If Zeus's plan succeeds, Amon will instead become a stepping stone for Zeus to seek higher realms, and if he is wise, Amon should leave the Heaton Peninsula now and not get involved in this matter.
After listening to Artemis's thoughts, Amon nodded slightly and said, "Schrödinger, you see it well, this is indeed the situation I am facing. But if I don't go down this path, how can I know the answer? Those who have lofty ideals in the world will also face trials in order to fulfill their vows, and the trials I face may be more difficult than Zeus. ”
Artemis pouted, "Amon, are you still going to stay here?"
Amon replied, "At least I won't leave on my own initiative." ”
Artemis raised his eyes and looked at Amun and said, "Your achievements are higher than mine, and what I can see, you can naturally understand." I'm just telling you everything that happened in Olympus Heaven, and since you've made your choice, I hope you won't embarrass me when that day really comes!"
Amon shook her hand and said, "Schrödinger, I will never embarrass you." ”
At that moment, another servant outside the door reported: "Mr. Amun, another young man named Vorpers has asked to see you." ”
Artemis stood up and said, "It's Apollo, he was really the first to come!" Apollo is very proud, and he is very direct in doing things, he is the most powerful of the twelve main gods of Olympus except Zeus, and he should be here to challenge you. ”
Amon: "Challenge me, in what name?"
Artemis: "In his own name, of course he has a reason to make a move, you have to be careful!"
Artemis left the backyard without meeting Apollo. When the servant led a young man in, even Amun's eyes lit up, and he waved his hand at the servant and said, "You go out first, I have something to talk about with this gentleman." ”
As soon as the servant went out, Amon waved his hand and laid down a magic circle, enveloping him and Arrobo in the center of the circle to prevent the movement in the house from disturbing the outside world. The deity before him was no more than thirty years old, the most handsome and beautiful man Amun had ever seen, he was clothed in a robe, with one of his shoulders and arms exposed, and in the other hand he held a fine harp.
With a broad forehead, firm and confident eyes, long laurel hair hanging down his shoulders, and a well-proportioned and toned figure and impeccable countenance, Apollo stood there with an indescribable masculine charm. Amon's disciple Medanzo is already quite heroic and handsome, but compared with Apollo in front of him, there is obviously something missing. If this god had come to be more handsome than Amon, then Amon would have lost.
Amon greeted in a calm tone: "Are you Apollo? I have seen your idol, and I feel that the craftsmen have carved the most beautiful man the world can imagine, and when I see you in person, I feel that the idols are far from enough to describe your radiance." Have you come to see me as a mortal, too? When you were outside the door just now, you attracted the onlookers of passing women. ”
Amon's last sentence was obviously a joke, and Apollo said with a cold face: "I have also come to see you as a mortal? ”
Amon: "Yes, she just left. I think you should apologize for interrupting my meeting with her. ”
Arobo said unceremoniously: "Let's be straightforward, I'm here to challenge you." As he spoke, he explained the reason why he challenged Amun with information magic - Philip II's capture of Delphi caused the gods to quarrel and the gods to fight fiercely, and although a new agreement was finally reached, Apollo suffered the heaviest losses.
The Oracle of Delphi is the most authoritative oracle on the Heaton Peninsula and has always been issued by the Temple of Arrobo on behalf of the gods. This is the result of Apollo's victory from the ancient god Themis in the War of the Gods, and it also makes him the most important god in the Olympian god system after Zeus.
There were more people who sacrificed directly to Apollo than to Zeus, the father of the gods!
This history lasted until the end of the Greco-Persian Wars, when the Aaron League arose, and Aarona became another more important deity. The oracle of Delphi, which represents the highest authority, is still issued by the Temple of Apollo in Delphi. Philip II's occupation of Delphi and the control of the Holy Land of the Heaton Peninsula in the hands of the Macedonian kingdom also heralded the end of this history.
Apollo could not hold Zeus accountable, but he would have been angry with Amon. Amon is a god outside of the Olympian god line, and he has nothing to do with it. For Apollo, it was a challenge to his authority, which is why he came here.
Amon looked at Apollo and replied, "If I accept your challenge in the name of the gods, I will be breaking my agreement with Zeus." Since you're here as Folpers, how do you want to challenge me?"
Apollo replied, "We can fight each other in immortal eternity." ”
Amon smiled, shook his head, and said, "I won't leave because of your challenge, and I won't show the means of the gods here. If you want to challenge me, as a mortal, we will fight like warriors on earth. ”
Apollo nodded happily, "Okay! What will happen if you lose?"
Amon still smiled and said: "Since it is a duel, there should be a bet, and the losing side will retreat in front of the winner, no matter in what capacity, do you understand what I mean?"
Although Amon smiled when he spoke, this bet was ruthless enough! One side retreated in front of the other side, which is not easy for the gods, for example, if Amon becomes the victor and sneaks up to the temple of Apollo in a good mood one day, then Apollo's sense placed on the idol will also be withdrawn, and it will not appear in front of Amon's eyes.
This duel is very troublesome, if Amun kills Apollo in the Olympus God Domain, he will openly anger the gods, and become an invasion of another god system, which is likely to be besieged by the gods, triggering a great scuffle between the two god systems. However, Apollo did not necessarily want to take the opportunity to kill Amun, and if he succeeded, the kingdom of heaven that Amon had created would disappear, and the rest would not need to be said.
Therefore, Amon could neither be cut off by Apollo, nor could he easily cut off Apollo. If Apollo was defeated, he would come back to find trouble, or ask a few more gods to help him entangle, Amon would also have a headache, so he made this bet to simply let the loser disappear from the eyes of the victor to prevent future troubles.
When Apollo heard this, he curled the corners of his mouth slightly and said, "No problem! If you are lucky enough to survive if you are defeated by me, you will never appear in front of my eyes, and immediately leave the Heaton Peninsula and hide back to your heavenly kingdom." If one day I am interested in going to Eju, your idol shall not open its eyes before me. What happened to me in the Battle of Delphi, you will bear it doubly!"
Amon nodded and replied very calmly: "The result of the battle of Delphi cannot be said to have nothing to do with me, and it is reasonable for you to have such a request. I promised Zeus that the gods of Olympus would have access to my realm. But if I win, you will be left out. Wherever I go, even if it is your divine domain, you must retreat. ”
Apollo waved his hand: "Less nonsense, where do we do it?"
Amon: "Of course it can't be here, let's go to the suburbs, on the cliff of a high mountain in the distance, there is a place that is suitable for you and me." Don't worry, let's go all the way, you can still think about it on the road, and you can regret it at any time. ”
Apollo: "I just hope you don't regret it, so let's go." ”
Amon greeted the servant, saying that he might be back later today, so he didn't have to prepare dinner, and went out with Apollo. His steps were unhurried, and he walked through the streets of Macedonia towards the outside of the city, while Apollo strode ahead with a blank face.
Many passers-by stopped and looked at Apollo involuntarily, especially the women, who exclaimed: "Who is this? My god, he is so handsome! How can there be such a handsome man in the world? God, isn't this the lover of my dreams?" and many girls even trotted after Apollo, just to see this beautiful man twice.
Amon walked behind Apollo like an attendant or servant, all the brilliance belonged to the god in front of him, and no one noticed him at all. As he left the city, Medanzo quietly appeared beside Amon. Amon didn't speak, explaining the cause and effect of the incident with information magic.
Medanzo looked at Apollo with amazement in his eyes. This deity does not have any ornamentation, just a crown of cinnamon branches, an ordinary white robe, and a harp in his hand, but he has a charm that shocks the soul in his gestures, and it does not need to be deliberately publicized, and it can naturally make everyone admire.
Apollo walked through the streets and alleys, and his bearing was even more windy than when Medanzo was at his best.
Medanzo looked at it for a while, and suddenly pouted: "What about the handsome? Actually challenging the god Amun, there is a good chance that he took the wrong medicine." ”
Amon couldn't help but laugh and said, "He didn't take the wrong medicine, he knows exactly what he's doing." You should also be able to learn something from this person. Sooner or later, you will have such charm, and when you have it, you will not think like you do today. ”
Apollo's voice suddenly came from his soul: "Amon, are you going to take the oracle with you?"
Amon replied, "No, he's just here to see the fun, you're so handsome!"
