Reversing Greek Mythology

"The gods are really ruthless! For you, anyone can become the king as long as it does not affect your own throne. And it is more beneficial for you to have a powerful new king replace the weak old king, because the powerful new king You can make the city-state you protect stronger."

At the same time as Luo Yin finished speaking, as Niobe stopped the ritual of sacrificing Leto, Apollo, and Artemis, Apollo and Artemis descended to Thebes with their height of 100 meters. Over the city.

Seeing Apollo and Artemis coldly bending their bows and setting arrows, aiming at the seven sons and seven daughters of Amphion and Niobe, Luo Yin immediately felt the desire to stop Apollo and Artemis. impulse.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh——

After Apollo took the lead in shooting the seven sons of Amphion and Niobe with arrows, although Luo Yin's body was a little shaken, his feet remained motionless as if they were on the ground.

The next moment!

The arrows shot by Apollo, the god of silver bows, missed and all hit the seven sons of Amphion and Niobe.

Looking at this scene, Luo Yin breathed a long sigh of relief and said.

"They were just built by Amphion - the embodiment of the seven gates of Thebes. Even if I didn't prevent them from being killed, there is no need to feel guilty."

At this moment, Artemis also shot her arrows at the seven daughters of Amphion and Niobe.

Luo Yin's body was shaken violently, but in the end it failed to prevent the seven sisters from being shot by Artemis.

With the sound of arrows breaking through the air, after the seven sisters turned into corpses and fell next to Niobe, Luo Yin closed his eyes and said.

"The me now is less and less like the me in the past. If it were the me in the past, I would at least prevent Amphion and Niobe's seven daughters from being killed..."

"That shows that you have indeed grown through this period of experience."

Hearing Mnemosyne's words, Luo Yin immediately opened his eyes, grabbed her shoulders with both hands, looked at her beautiful golden twins and said.

"Everything I have experienced really has something to do with you. What is your purpose? Do you want me to achieve so-called growth?"

"Fool!"

Mnemosyne rolled her eyes with an unhappy expression and said.

"You just have to look in the mirror to see who put you through this."

"Looking in the mirror...are you saying that all this is caused by myself?"

"I have no comment."

"Since you know the truth, why don't you tell me?"

Luo Yin shook Mnemosyne's shoulders in dissatisfaction.

Mnemosyne's body immediately surged with divine power to distort the surrounding space.

Immediately afterwards, Luo Yin's hands unnaturally retreated from Mnemosyne's shoulders, as if they were going back in time.

After Luo Yin's eyes widened in surprise, Mnemosyne turned her back to Luo Yin and said.

"Don't be lazy and just be a man who relies on women. If you want to know the truth, go find the answer yourself."

Then Mnemosyne called out.

"Daughters."

The seven daughters of Amphion and Niobe, who had been killed by Artemis' arrows, immediately appeared in front of Mnemosyne as seven goddesses.

These seven goddesses were originally a type of nymphs, water spring goddesses born from the springs of Mount Helicon.

As natural gods, the spring goddesses were originally unable to leave Mount Helicon, and if the springs that were their bodies dried up, they would disappear forever.

But Mnemosyne shared the divinity of the Muses with them, allowing them to transform from the goddess of water springs into her subordinate gods. Not only could they leave Mount Helicon, but they would not disappear when the original spring water dried up. .

So for the seven Muses who were reborn, Mnemosyne was indeed their mother.

"Mother Goddess!"

After the Seven Muses bowed their heads respectfully, Mnemosyne ordered them.

"Before this man leaves Thebes, you should deal with him on my behalf!"

After saying that, Mnemosyne's figure suddenly disappeared.

"Mone——"

Looking at the position where Mnemosyne disappeared, Luo Yin stretched out his hand in despair, and finally took it back.

The seven muses stood in front of Luo Yin with expressionless faces, like seven perfect and moving dolls.

Luo Yin looked at the Seven Muses carefully and then said jokingly.

"Daughters! Do you know what my relationship is with your mother god? I am the husband of your mother god Mnemosyne, which is also your father god, so you must obey my father god just like you obey the mother god. . Now Father God wants to see your aunt Themis, can you take me to find Themis?"

The Seven Muses didn't react at all, as if they didn't hear Luo Yin's words.

"It seems that I regard you as a cheap daughter, and you also regard me as a cheap father god. You will not obey me like you obey the mother god."

After saying that, Luo Yin walked up to the boss of the Seven Muses and held her chin with his right hand.

The goddess did not hide or dodge, letting Luo Yin do whatever he wanted.

Seeing no reaction from the goddess, Luo Yin immediately lost interest, took back his right hand and complained.

"I like girls as beautiful as dolls, but not real dolls. No wonder Mnemosyne asked you to deal with me. She already knew that I would not be interested in you and made you her love rival."

After finishing speaking, Luo Yin turned away from the city wall and walked towards the palace.

royal palace.

Luo Yin walked into the hall and saw Layos sitting on the throne deep in the hall. Creon and a group of nobles were discussing Layos's succession to the throne.

At this time, the seven sons and seven daughters of Amphion and Niobe were shot dead by the gods Apollo and Artemis. The news that Amphion and Niobe died in despair has also reached the palace.

Creon demanded loudly.

"Now that Amphion and his family who usurped the throne have passed away, if the descendants of Cadmus are not allowed to inherit the throne, which of your noble families wants to usurp the throne?"

The nobles looked at each other, and then all their eyes focused on Creon.

In the city of Thebes, the only families that could compete with the royal family for the throne were the five major senatorial noble families.

After the death of Cadmus, Pentheus was able to seize the throne and become the king of Thebes, not only because he was the grandson of Cadmus, but also because his father was a senatorial noble.

Amphion was able to seize the throne not only because he was a relative of the royal family, but also because he also came from a senatorial aristocratic family.

Now among the five major senatorial noble families, except for Pentheus's family and Amphion's family, which fell into decline due to seizing the throne, the other two senatorial noble families have also weakened.

The only ones who can compete with the royal family for the throne are the senatorial noble families represented by Creon.

Seeing the nobles' eyes staring at him, Creon said expressionlessly.

"Layos becomes the king of Thebes and will marry my sister Inekaster as his queen, so our family will fully support Layos."

Creon expressed his attitude and reasons for supporting Laios, and the nobles expressed their willingness to support Laios.

After all, the combined power of the royal family and the senatorial noble family is simply not something that ordinary nobles can resist.
