Greece brings evildoers

For a month and a half, the city of Knossos was immersed in a cheerful and relaxed atmosphere.

Farming, storage, brewing, trading... Ordinary and ordinary people continue their original life trajectory, all looking forward to better years in the future.

They don't understand the struggle for divine power or the conflict of beliefs. The few acres of land under their feet and a light in their home are all they have.

They don't understand the military affairs that their superiors are worried about. They only know that under the governance of the Great Mother Goddess Athena and the Secretary Lorne, more and more wealth is flowing to Crete, and their lives are getting better day by day. .

Therefore, the smiles on everyone's faces were sincere and enthusiastic, without any trace of acting.

It seems that because of this sense of reality, the sea is always calm.

With Athena on duty, Lorne was able to withdraw from busy government affairs and continue to secretly develop his Dionysian religion, drawing faith from the joy of mankind.

Unlike those detached "gods in the sky" in Olympus, he is a god on earth. He is born with both divinity and humanity, experiences death and rebirth, and is finally upgraded due to human faith and pursuit.

Therefore, the mortal world is the soil for him to take root and grow.

As for this aboveboard poaching behavior, Athena turned a blind eye.

After all, it is human nature to pursue joy in a painful life, and it is also the motivation for them to continue to live.

As the subordinate god of the Kitchen God, the one he poached the most was his aunt.

The stove goddess doesn't care, so why should she bother?

With the support of the two goddesses and the soil suitable for development, the Dionysian Cult after Lorne's magical transformation has developed and expanded rapidly. It soon spread in Crete, and its followers increased hundreds of times.

The concept of "Happiness" and the influence of "Dionysian Cult" also spread to various Greek city-states with the voyage of the Minoan fleet and the spread of "Wine", and gained a large number of potential fans.

——The lower you are, the firmer and purer your belief is.

After all, compared to those divine-blood nobles who are "born with it", "Happiness" is rarer and more precious for the bottom class who "have nothing".

As the power of faith grew rapidly and continued to flow into Lorn's body, his divinity became more condensed and his godhead was fully nourished. The little accumulated blank space would soon allow him to carve out The second divine law.

However, the business is getting bigger and the team is starting from scratch, so many things need to be done by him personally.

Lorne, who was busy strengthening himself and also taking into account the movements at sea, was inevitably a little overwhelmed.

So, he simply passed part of the power to his sister-in-law Phaedra by getting drunk and falling asleep, and let King Minos' beloved daughter who liked to toss work remotely for him.

In order to ensure the safety of this little girl, Lorne made use of the waste and threw the successfully brainwashed Breeze Goddess Aura into the Dionysian Cult, making her a member of the Dionysian Crazy Women and responsible for protecting the current Dionysus. Phaedra, the chief priest.

Originally, the reason why this arrogant hunting nymph was not killed by Artemis and could stay in Crete for training was because the hunting goddess needed an excuse to visit Crete frequently and meet him. tryst.

But now, he couldn't contact his little moon several times, and Lorne guessed that Artemis couldn't count on him this time either.

So, in line with the principle of not wasting anything, Aura, the goddess of the breeze, who had the power of a god, was attracted by him to be his pallu.

Anyway, according to Artemis's wishes, this woman insulted him, and as punishment, she became his private property from now on, and he could deal with it how he wanted.

——Since it can be used and is easy to use, just use it until death.

——Work hard, you are fighting for the cause of human liberation!

A certain cult leader, while giving out fair and just reasons, decided the fate of the Breeze Goddess's future Protector King without any mercy.

However, even after using all the cards in his current hand, Lorne still felt inadequate.

——Both in the face of the development of sects and the situation in Crete.

It seems that you need to develop your own skills as soon as possible.

Lorne thought so, and the heart of the tauren native to Crete began to move again.

——The Three Graces under Aphrodite, the Nine Muses and the God of Medicine under Apollo, and Pan under Artemis...

——Mine, these can all be mine!

However, although the idea is beautiful, strength is crucial in the Greek Gods.

Now, as a new god, Lorne is not qualified to challenge the authority of those main gods.

Of course, Yuan Shuijie doesn't understand thirst, and Poseidon, who is eyeing him eagerly, will not give him a chance to develop in peace.

Soon, the originally calm sea began to gradually become cloudy and uncertain.

In just a few days, ships out to sea in Crete sank one after another.

Some hit the rocks due to sea fog, some were torn apart by storms, and some encountered sea monsters...

Lorne and Athena, who rushed home urgently, looked at each other and their hearts sank in unison.

——Poseidon is suspicious.

If it were just sea fog and storms, it could be attributed to accidents, but the reappearance of sea beasts off Oceanus, and the safe route promised to them by Nereus, the Old Man of the Sea, and attacks on shipping ships are somewhat intriguing. .

Obviously, this is a temptation from His Majesty the Poseidon.

As for whether Nereus, as the guarantor, will receive backlash from his oath, I'm sorry, but this is not within the scope of His Majesty the Poseidon's consideration.

In order to reach the pinnacle of power, he even wanted to kill his own brothers. What does a mere father-in-law mean to him?

Looking at the dark clouds gathering on the sea in the distance, Lorne turned around and asked without giving up.

"Is there really no other way?"

"I went to find Aunt Demeter, but she went to the underworld to visit her daughter Persephone..."

"It's really watertight. Needless to say, it must have been promised by His Majesty the God King, right?"

"Um……"

Athena and Lorne looked at each other, fell into a long silence, and then let out a sigh together.

time is limited.

Everything is as they expected. More and more ships are encountering accidents at sea, and the frequency of disasters such as typhoons, heavy rains, earthquakes, etc. is also getting higher and higher.

Even the beast tide that was originally expelled to the inland sea reappeared in the outer sea area and gathered in greater numbers.

Gradually, even ordinary Minoans sensed a sense of crisis that a storm was coming, and began to silently prepare to store grain and herbs.

Finally, Lorne waited for the results.

But it doesn't come from the sea, but from the dice of chance turning in the mind.

The twelve-sided dice on the altar rotated faintly, and the three wave lines representing Poseidon and the five snake patterns representing Athena emerged one after another, and then transformed into three golden oracles.

“Desecration one: Choose to assist Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war, to fight against the upcoming disaster at sea. If you succeed, you will randomly obtain a divine blessing from Poseidon.

The second blasphemy is to choose to assist Poseidon, the god of the sea, to lead the Minoan civilization to the end in advance. Success will randomly seek a divine blessing from Athena.

Blasphemy No. 3: Choose to fight Athena and Poseidon at the same time, annihilate the fire of wisdom, collapse the glory of Poseidon, make the Minoans cry, and let Atlantis sink. If you succeed, you will gain Athena and Poseidon at the same time. Divine Blessing! "

Seeing the three identical branches of fate, Lorne couldn't help but change his face slightly, and the luck in his heart was completely dead.

Looking at the unstoppable storm on the sea and the panicked mortals in the city, he fell into silence for a long time.

This time, which side will you choose?

Should we follow the predetermined destiny, or should we continue to resist with a mantis in his hands?

Finally, not knowing what he thought of, Lorne raised the corners of his lips and burst out into a burst of joyful laughter. With a crazy flash in his eyes, the answer blurted out.

"——I choose 3!"

At the same time, the first two oracles in his mind automatically dissipated, leaving only the last one, teasing and ridiculing fate and resistance.
