Chapter 264: In the Name of Athena
Dedicated to Her Royal Highness Athena, the most beautiful goddess......
The walls of the presidential palace repeated the words of Cornelius, and some experts and scholars kneeling on the ground listened to this sentence and secretly glanced at him, wondering why he had chosen to offer the golden apple to Athena.
Although Athena is one of the most popular and well-known deities in Greek mythology, Hera, the queen of heaven, is the most powerful of the three goddesses.
As the daughter of Kronos and the sister of Zeus, Hera has a very respected status, and when Hera married Zeus, she was promised by Zeus to share the authority of the god-king with her, and because of this, she received a title that the wives of the previous two god-kings did not get - the queen of heaven.
With the crown of the gods, she is not only above Athena, but also above Hades, Poseidon and other main gods.
And Aphrodite, another goddess of love and beauty, although she is not as good as Hera and her combat power is not as good as Athens, she can't stand her beautiful.
In Greek mythology, being beautiful equals having more lovers.
As the goddess of beauty, Aphrodite's lovers are all over the holy mountain of Olympus, and many gods such as Ares, the god of war, Poseidon, and Hermes, the god of travel, have a leg with her, and she has also given birth to a large number of gods over the years, and in terms of the number of gods and heirs, the number of gods born from her belly is second only to Gaia, and offending her is equivalent to offending one-third of the Greek gods.
"Great goddess Athena, your most devout devotees offer you the golden apple, seek the protection of your strength, ask your wisdom for guidance, I am willing to spend the rest of my life and everything in my power to spread your radiance. ”
Cornelus pretended to be very religious, knelt on the ground, raised the golden apple in his hand, and waited for the goddess's response with great trepidation.
Will Athena shelter him? If not, then he will die, and either Hera or Aphrodite will tear him alive.
But he can't help it, Hera's curse is to lose power, Aphrodite's curse is to become ugly, and only Athena's curse is to lose wisdom.
As a man, appearance itself is not the most important thing, and it is just uncomfortable for him to be ugly for a while, he will not take it to heart, it is a big deal not to look in the mirror every day in the future, and as a president, he has already tasted the taste of power, although it will be uncomfortable to step down from the position of president, but his bank deposit is already 9 figures, and it is not unacceptable to be a rich man if he can't be president.
But the loss of wisdom is different, although it is not known whether Athena's 'loss of wisdom' will make him mentally retarded or a complete beast, but neither is acceptable to him.
"Thou hast disobeyed the will of God, and therefore I curse thee, that thou shalt lose one's favorite face and become a man of great ugliness. ”
As Aphrodite's words fell, the sea that filled the presidential palace became furious, foam surged, and the light of God shrouded Cornelius, his hair turned gray little by little, his face became ugly little by little, furrows appeared on his brows, and tumors hung on his face.
Looking at his changes through the sea, Cornelius's originally straight body suddenly slumped.
In the past, although he said that he had nothing to do with handsome characters, his appearance was also average, and no one would pay attention to him when he was thrown into the crowd, but after being cursed by Aphrodite, he felt that he would attract the attention of a bunch of people wherever he went, because he was too ugly.
But that's not all, Hera's curse descends,
"Thou hast disobeyed the will of God, and therefore I curse thee, and thou shalt lose the protection of the king, and the right shall be far from thee forever and ever!"
The light of God flickered again.
Shrouded in light, Konelius sensed that something mysterious was being pulled out of his body.
Although his feelings were vague and he didn't know much about this kind of thing, a voice in his heart told him that it was a concept that represented rights, and once he was withdrawn, he would soon get out of the presidency.
"You have obeyed the will of God and offered the golden apple to the gods, and I will obey God's agreement with man and give you incomparable wisdom and strength!"
The light of God flickered again, and Konelius, who was shrouded in light, first felt that he was communicating with some great being, and a surging power descended from the body of God along the connection between man and God, and poured into his body, and then a large amount of mysterious knowledge appeared in his mind.
In a few minutes, he digested the mysterious knowledge that had come to his mind.
Through this mysterious knowledge, he knew that the surging power just now was divine power, and all the power of transcendent beings came from the gods, and they drew strength from the gods to strengthen themselves by communicating with the gods, and this absorbed power was collectively called divine power, which means the power of gods.
Therefore, the transcendent must sincerely believe in the gods and not blasphemy, once blasphemed, the connection between the transcendent and the gods will be severed, and the transcendent who is cut off from the gods will not be able to communicate with the gods, cannot draw power from the gods, and he will soon lose his power.
If you are a lover of oriental immortal cultivation, you may feel uncomfortable after discovering this situation, they are not interested in this practice of relying on the gods, but Cornelius is different, he has lived in Greece since he was a child, and he has long been accustomed to the priests borrowing the power of the gods, so he quickly immersed himself in these fresh knowledge, and his heart spontaneously leaned towards the great being, drawing strength from her and strengthening himself.
The cold light of his eyes swept over Cornelius, as if he would be killed by the goddess in the next moment, and his ashes were sprinkled into the sea, this feeling made Cornelius, who was immersed in the power he had just gained, shudder, and only then did he remember that he had offended Hera and Aphrodite, who had just cast a curse on him.
Without a moment's hesitation, Cornelius lowered his head, his face almost touching the ground, and faced the three goddesses with the most humble gesture, waiting for the choice of fate to come.
But he waited for a long time, and waited until the sound of others standing up sounded in the sealed presidential palace, and then he raised his head, and in front of him, where were the three goddesses.
He stood up, turned around, and said with a solemn expression, "I have been blessed by Her Highness Athena, and I have gained incomparable wisdom and courage, so I have decided to become a priest to His Highness Athena, who has resigned from the presidency. ”
"Until then, I will use the power bestowed upon me by Her Highness Athena to give those demons outside the fate of destruction, and I ask you to assist me. ”
