Greece brings evildoers

Chapter 268 Hera, you are in trouble (5.6k)

Under the starry sky, in the court.

The goddess of justice sat solemnly on the bench, lowered her eyes covered with a veil and looked at the litigants present, and asked formal questions.

"Hera, have you ever done anything that violates the principle of marital fidelity?"

Themis exaggerated the behavior at the beginning, and instantly stunned Hera on the field.

If it was before, she could answer with confidence, but now...

She pursed her lips, subconsciously glanced at someone who was walking with her, and unconsciously uttered a difficult answer.

"Yes..."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Hera's face suddenly became a little ugly, and she looked at the starlight that enveloped her with great fear.

Under the starry sky, the truth can be seen.

In the court, no lies can be made up.

This is why Themis pulled them into this divine domain.

After getting the answer, the goddess of justice nodded without surprise and continued to ask questions in a deep voice.

"Have you ever harbored resentment towards your spouse and caused him harm?"

"Yes..."

"Has your relationship broken down? Are you tired of this marriage?"

"Yes..."

Two simple subjective questions that did not involve privacy in a row relaxed Hera's tense nerves a little. But while answering, the Queen of Heaven still had complex emotions on her face.

Once upon a time, she and that man were a symbol of a good match and a continuation of the family, but she did not expect that they would soon reach the point of being in harmony but not in spirit.

Themis nodded, still without any nonsense, and spoke solemnly again.

"Then the last question: Are you willing to give up the supreme divine power and the position of the Queen of Heaven?"

"..."

Hera knocked her teeth and bit her cherry lips, but she never made a sound.

But not answering is sometimes also an answer.

Themis nodded, stood up and pondered leisurely.

"It seems that I can't handle this case."

After saying that, she turned the scales on both sides of the hilt, and the starlight shrouding Hera suddenly dimmed and disappeared, and the invisible pressure collapsed.

But at the same time, the court of order also collapsed, and the goddess of justice turned around with her sword, turned her back to the starlight, and walked towards the night.

A ray of light that emerged in the sky was swallowed up by the dark night again.

Obviously, even if the defendant Zeus is not clean, the plaintiff Hera may not be innocent.

Both parties have cheated, and the eldest brother does not say the second brother;

Domestic violence, neither party has been less, strictly speaking, it is called "mutual fighting";

Both parties may have had feelings, but now their attitudes towards this thing are similar;

As for the final interests, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten, what can be said?

So, after listening to Hera's self-accusation, Themis was obviously unwilling to interfere in the marriage of Zeus and Hera.

As the dust settled, Hera, the plaintiff, also realized this. Seeing the respected Lady Themis walking away, her face was a little gloomy.

Did she really do something wrong?

"Please wait a moment. The defense has not spoken yet. It is not appropriate for you to adjourn the court so quickly, right?"

Just as the goddess of justice was about to step out of the jungle, a half-smile came from behind.

Defense attorney?

Themis turned around and looked back meaningfully.

Lorne smiled and stepped forward, speaking solemnly.

"I also have some questions for you about this case, so, follow the procedure?"

Themis nodded calmly, turned the scales on both sides of the hilt with her thumbs, and once again built an orderly court with starlight as the cornerstone, and turned back to the jungle and sat back on the bench.

Everything was ready, Lorne took a deep breath and spoke solemnly.

"Should the party who first broke the marriage rules be considered the main party at fault and bear more responsibility?"

Main party at fault?

Themis nodded thoughtfully when she heard this new term.

"Yes!"

It was indeed the case. In this marriage, Hera continued to have indecent behavior, but in the final analysis, it was Zeus who had an affair first.

In addition to his love of beauty, the king of gods was also worried that his bloodline with Hera would shake his position. Therefore, after the divine power was consolidated, he rarely fulfilled his obligations as a husband to Hera.

On the contrary, as a wife, Hera had been clean before, with almost no scandals of cheating and cheating, which was in sharp contrast to Zeus.

It was because of Alcmene's incident that the two sides fought each other, and Hera gradually gave up on her husband. Only then, under the instigation of a certain culprit, did she cross the red line of the marriage law and indulge herself more and more.

"Olympus has now achieved its glory. In addition to the leadership of the God King, is it also due to the contribution of the Queen of Heaven?"

"Yes!"

Themis nodded again without any hesitation.

It must be admitted that Hera is more or less competent in the position of Queen of Heaven.

The gods respect her very much in major matters, and Zeus also respects her and often discusses things with her. Whenever the gods debate on an important issue, Hera often refutes Zeus because of the different opinions. But in the end, Hera often remains silent because of love and chooses to compromise.

The reason why the siblings Artemis and Apollo, the illegitimate son of Hermes, and the ugly son of Hephaestus were able to ascend to Olympus and become one of the main gods was all the result of Hera’s nod and acquiescence. .

It can be said that nearly half of the twelve main gods of Olympus are related to this queen.

Of course, if you think this way, you are trapped.

At this time, Lorne smiled slightly and his eyes flickered.

“Should the [wealth] jointly created be divided jointly?”

"yes……"

Themis hesitated in her answer this time and frowned slightly.

The foreshadowing is complete, and Lorne's plan is revealed.

"So, as the primary and main fault-finding party in a marriage, when the marriage cannot be maintained, should we adhere to the principle of less or no division of the [wealth] jointly created and appropriately compensate the other party whose rights and interests have been infringed?"

Themis's heart was shocked, and she suddenly realized the evil intention hidden in the defense.

This was to allow her to cut off the marriage rules between Zeus and Hera in the name of justice, while ensuring that the queen's divine status and divine authority were not affected as much as possible.

The goddess of justice looked faintly at a certain defender in the court: "You want me to stand on her side?"

"No, I just hope you stand on the side of justice and practice the justice you pursue!"

The defender shook his head, retorted seriously, and then declared loudly and righteously.

"The sword of the law should not be swung only at the weak!"

justice? justice?

Themis held the sword in her hand tightly, with a complicated expression on her face.

Since when, she has become more and more unfamiliar with these.

"Since the marriage rules you have formulated cannot restrain one party from continuing to make mistakes. Then, it should not become a shackles for the other party to pursue happiness."

Lorne expressed his opinion in a deep voice, and then looked at Themis with a sincere face.

"You know, no matter how much hard work and hard work you put in to manage the position of Queen of Heaven, it is insulated from 'happiness' and it will not become easier to sit in."

Upon hearing this, the goddess of justice in the judgment seat couldn't help but fall into a long silence.

The original Queen of Olympus was Metis, the goddess of primitive wisdom, but Zeus devoured his pregnant wife in order to resist the Titan's curse.

Themis was very disgusted by this, so she created the law of marriage, invented the concept of family, and determined the obligations between men and women to bind Zeus.

In fact, she could have gone one step further and become the second queen to personally limit the abuse of power by the god-king.

But at the last moment, she gave up and chose to leave Olympus, hide in the Sea of ​​Oceanus and live in seclusion, never caring about the world again.

As a result, the crown of the Queen of Heaven went around and fell on Hera's head, and gradually the niece lost her former gentleness and purity, and became ferocious and jealous.

In a sense, the limited binding laws on marriage are one of the important reasons for this tragedy.

Themis took off her majesty and identity as a judge, stood up and walked out of the trial seat, came to Hera, raised her hand to caress her cheek, and looked lovingly at her niece who had respected her so much.

"You must have had a hard time these years, right?"

"..."

Hera felt sad, lowered her head and remained silent.

For such a thoughtful husband who loves to flirt with women, these years can only be described as hard work?

Fight Titan first, then fight Typhon

After finally calming down, he still has to fight against the mistress and be wary of illegitimate children;

After fighting the illegitimate children, I still have to fight with my biological children...

Under the deliberate indulgence of her husband, she had many children, all of whom made her uneasy.

Ares is reckless and brainless, Eris is always getting into trouble, Hephaestus has a grudge against her, and Hebe has nothing to do all day long...

What did the descendants of the majestic God King learn so badly that they actually fell in love with brewing and pouring wine?

Thinking of the shabby family life in that place, Hera's blood pressure could not help but rise, and her heart became more depressed.

However, as his eyes swept over the figure who stood in front of him, spoke impassionedly on her behalf, worked hard to protect her reputation, and fought for her rights, the haze accumulated in the heart of this diva was dispersed.

At least, there are still people in this world who understand her...

And if you think about it carefully, that period of stop-and-go time was probably the most carefree, happy and relaxing time for you.

"It seems that you are indeed unhappy."

At the same time, Themis caught the change in expression on Hera's face and sighed quietly.

"Forget it, I will break the mistakes I made with my own hands.

As she spoke, the Goddess of Justice pulled out the sword of judgment in her sheath inch by inch, and slashed the edge at Hera in front of her.

"Crack!"

A sound like the breaking of shackles echoed around Hera, and the Queen felt a lightness in her body, as if some invisible restriction was quietly cut off.

"Qiang!"

Accompanied by the pleasant metallic sound, Themis returned the Sword of Judgment to its sheath and spoke in a deep voice.

"Okay, I have cut off the constraints of the marriage law and am free. From now on, you are still the Queen, but you are not named after your status as the wife of the God King, but because you have been to Orin. "

When Hera heard this, she raised her hand tremblingly, sensing the divinity and power in her body that had not weakened much, and there was incredible surprise on her face.

Themis's action greatly exceeded her expectations and made her worries disappear.

Since her marriage to Zeus is already in name only, there is no need to force them to be together, and they can just go their separate ways.

At most, they maintain a superficial sense of dignity and don’t leave home after divorce.

And the reason for this perfect verdict was all thanks to someone who specifically fought for her in front of Themis, the goddess of justice.

Hera's heart was racing, and she looked at Lorne next to her with excitement and excitement.

Lorne, the defender, was also very pleased with the complete victory.

On the one hand, letting Themis preside over this divorce dispute is equivalent to standing up for Hera and breaking with Zeus. She could get on the pirate ship in Ares Mountain now, whether she was on it or not.

On the other hand, helping his stepmother to expel Bo's father's gold coins would not completely knock Zeus off the altar, but it would be a bit of a stretch and his divine power would be weakened invisibly.

All of the above, no matter from which angle you look at it, are of great benefit to him and Ares Mountain.

As the dust settled, Lorne immediately put on a warm smile and solemnly thanked him.

"Your Highness Themis, thank you for practicing justice and upholding justice here!"

"I'm just doing my best to be entrusted by others."

Themis spoke calmly, the expression on her face was as cold and solemn as ever.

As expected of the goddess of justice, you are truly responsible for anything I have to do! Reliable!

Lorne secretly praised Themis in his heart, and then said with a smile.

"Okay, since the case has been closed, let's talk. I'll leave first. I won't disturb you!"

After saying that, the defender turned around and walked out of the dense forest, ready to retreat.

However, as soon as he opened his legs, a low and cold voice came from behind.

"Wait, you can't leave yet..."

"Um?"

Lorne turned around blankly, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Her case is closed, now it's your turn."

The rotating golden scales made a tinkling sound, the bright stars fell, and a court of order was built. Themis stood on the judgment seat, staring quietly at the only figure under the starlight, and spoke slowly.

"Let me ask, do you have any evil intentions towards Olympus and are you trying to do something rebellious?"

"...!"

Lorne's body stiffened and his expression changed drastically.

Something happened? Done!

Seeing the prisoner's delay in answering, Themis spoke again, and this time she used the divine law unceremoniously.

"Let me ask, do you have any evil intentions towards Olympus and are you trying to do something rebellious?"

Suddenly, a mysterious and vast pressure poured down from the starry sky above his head, and some kind of clear and clear will squeezed into his mind, making Lorne subconsciously want to pour out his truest thoughts.

At this moment, he finally understood how Hera felt during her trial. After a moment of tightening her lips, she struggled to open the gap and spit out dry words.

"yes……"

Hearing this exact answer, Themis raised her hand and rarely pulled off the gauze covering her eyes. Her starry eyes stared at the prisoner in the court, with a deep sense of loss on her face.

She thought she had found a like-minded friend who could work together to improve feasible laws, build a harmonious order, and practice justice in the world.

For this reason, she even broke her oath to the Styx River, walked out of the Oceanus Sea, and spared no effort to help the grand plan of the person in front of her.

But it turned out that this person had evil intentions from the beginning.

Everything he did was not simply to practice justice, but to use it as a guise to achieve his ulterior motives.

Justice, justice, how many crimes have been committed in your name.

Themis' cold cheeks were covered with a layer of frost, and she sighed quietly.

"So, what else do you have to say in defense of this?"

"Improve the judiciary, build order, practice justice... Everything I said before is serious, and I have no intention of deceiving you! It's just that this requires a certain amount of time and opportunity!"

Seeing that the matter was revealed, cold sweat broke out on Lorne's forehead. He quickly raised his right hand and swore to the goddess of justice.

Themis nodded thoughtfully and spoke calmly.

"So, shaking the divine power of Olympus and subverting the old order is a necessary part?"

"That's right!"

Seeing that the goddess of justice had understood what she meant, Lorne's confidence increased and she started to talk.

"If you don't destroy it, you won't establish it. If you destroy it, you can establish it! The gods have always abused their power and seriously interfered with the operation of laws and the implementation of systems in this world. As the king of gods, Zeus is the leader among them. If the pattern of Olympus can be changed, limit the The authority of the gods can reconstruct a more stable order and promote the construction of the rule of law.”

“It sounds like a good idea, and it’s possible to implement it.”

Themis nodded and gave a fair comment, then looked at Lorne in the court.

"But do you know that Zeus also said the same thing to me back then..."

"...!"

When Luo En heard this, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and he was speechless and choked in his heart.

Damn it, Zeus, the cunning old man, actually cut off the road ahead of time and stabbed him in the air.

Themis looked at the prisoner who had nothing to say, and the disappointment in her eyes became even stronger.

During the Battle of the Titans, Zeus used the same reason to accuse the Titans on Mount Othrys of abusing their divine power and trampling on order, and the god-king Cronus was ferocious and cruel and violated justice. Under the rule of the old Titan gods, the development of other species and the implementation of laws were severely restricted.

Once he takes power, he will definitely improve the judiciary, build order, practice justice, and create common prosperity for all species!

Only after hearing the grand goal did Themis want to abandon the Titans and help the young god full of revenge and ideals to win the Titan War step by step and establish the glory of Olympus.

But what was the result?

As soon as the God War ended, the new God King, who had high hopes for him, attacked his wife Metis, who had shared the joys and sorrows with him, and devoured her with sweet words.

At that time, she was still pregnant.

From that moment on, Themis saw through the nature of the God King, completely extinguished the fantasy in her heart, chose to leave Olympus, and escaped to the Sea of ​​Oceanus.

And then, it was just as she expected.

Calculating his wife, calculating his children, calculating mortals, calculating his opponents...

This God King took the "conspiracy" to the extreme, eliminating potential threats one by one, and playing with everyone in his hands.

The glorious God Realm is still full of smoke and miasma, and the filthy world is still in chaos.

The goddess of justice looked at the handsome, smart, and eloquent Loen. The figure in front of her seemed to perfectly overlap with the person in her memory. The strange sense of déjà vu made her shake her head and sigh.

Another Zeus...

The so-called divorce lawsuit, the so-called upholding of justice, is just using her to achieve his goals.

The sword of judgment was unsheathed inch by inch, and Loen's forehead was sweating.

"You, what are you doing?"

The goddess glanced at the prisoner and shook her head lightly: "I am a judge, not an executioner."

However, before Loen's heart was relieved, Themis swung her sword to the stars and spoke quietly.

"The divorce lawsuit has been concluded, so as a party, Zeus should also enjoy the right to know. Since you are so eloquent, I will not be responsible for telling him the whole story and the result. You will have to finish the trouble yourself."

Wherever the sword passed, a dark crack tore the starry sky, reflecting the outline of the holy mountain Olympus.

Seeing this, Loen's heart was beating wildly.

What would happen if Zeus knew that he cheated on him?

"Wait! Don't give up, I can explain! I have something else to say!"

"Sorry, your only chance to defend yourself has run out."

However, Themis, who had already made up her mind, had no intention of listening to the criminal's sophistry. She grabbed Loen's shoulders and prepared to go to Olympus for confrontation.

"Wait..."

At the critical moment, a goddess wearing bronze snake armor, with silver hair and purple eyes, came from the depths of the starry sky.

"The prisoner has no right to sue himself, so how about I defend him?"

Looking at the unexpected savior in front of him, Loen's heart was full of mixed feelings, and he almost shed tears of excitement.

- Sister Ya!
