Reversing Greek Mythology

Chapter 40 The goddess also ignores the authority of Zeus

Facing Luo Yin's verbal humiliation, Diomedes said calmly.

"Young Neoptolemus, you may laugh at me as you would an old man. But when our spears clash together, you will know whether I possess the prowess and strength of the past."

Luo Yin jumped off the back of his horse and said while walking towards Diomedes.

"Although we are enemies now, we are still comrades who fought side by side on the Trojan battlefield. Diomedes, dying in battle like your father Tydeus is the best destination for you. Since you don't Died by the murders of Aegialea and Kometes, then let me grant you a glorious death in battle!”

Seeing Luo Yin's actions, Diomedes also jumped down from the chariot, raised his spear and shield and walked towards Luo Yin and said.

"Neoptolemus! Although I have become your enemy, after I die in battle, my soldiers and the city of Argos will belong to you - after all, my unfaithful wife did not give me a child capable of The child who inherits the throne, if I get the favor of Pallas Athena, I will be lucky enough to defeat you——"

"That can never happen!"

Before Diomedes could finish speaking, Luo Yin came to Diomedes at the speed of the wind and swung the divine spear to stab him in the heart.

Diomedes used a shield wrapped in seven layers of cowhide to resist Luo Yin's attack.

Poof!

Although the blade of the divine spear penetrated the shield, it did not hit Diomedes' body.

Diomedes seized the opportunity when the blade of the divine spear was caught in the shield, and stabbed Luo Yin in the shoulder with his spear blade.

Luo Yin hurriedly dodged Diomedes' spear blade, and then retracted his divine spear from the shield.

After the first round of confrontation ended with both of them unscathed, Luo Yin stared at Diomedes' spear blade with a solemn expression and said.

"Diomedes! Although I have an invulnerable body, among humans, I am the only one who dare not let your and Odysseus' weapons attack my body, because you are both the darlings of Pallas Athena. You are a respectable human warrior. Before I kill you with my divine power, you can pray to Pallas Athena and ask her to lend you more divine power."

"Since you know that I am a human, you should understand that the goddess giving me divine power that humans cannot control will actually reduce my strength."

"You want to challenge my divine power with human strength - then I will show you all my divine power as a tribute to you!"

After Luo Yin finished speaking, his body suddenly burst out with the speed that only gods can possess, and he swung his divine spear and struck Diomedes with a lightning-quick strike.

Diomedes seemed to be able to predict Luo Yin's attack. Although his speed was far inferior to Luo Yin's, he held his spear in front of him in advance to resist Luo Yin's attack.

There was a crisp sound!

The blade of the divine spear split Diomedes' spear in half, and then penetrated Diomedes' body.

Rumble——

Rumble——

With the death of Diomedes, streaks of thunder appeared in the cloudless sky, as if to show the anger of the gods.

Luo Yin raised his head and saw Pallas Athena descending from the sky in the posture of a giant standing tall on the sky and the ground.

Looking into the eyes of the expressionless goddess, Luo Yin teased with a smile.

"I thought you had given up on Diomedes! If Diomedes is still your favorite, it will be too late for you."

"The current Diomedes has no value for me to care about."

Pallas Athena's beautiful blue eyes looked at Luo Yin with cold eyes and said.

"I am here because Diomedes and Odysseus, my two favorites in this era, were killed by you. Even you, doing this kind of humiliation to Pallas Athens What happened to Na cannot be forgiven.”

"As long as I don't kill Diomedes, won't you be my enemy? If you want to kill Orestes, you must first defeat Pallas Athena - I have always remembered this sentence. "

"You stupid guy! If I were your enemy, your soul would have fallen into the underworld of Hades."

Pallas Athena leaned over and grabbed Luo Yin with her left hand, then turned to look in the direction of the Black Sea and said.

"I now give you the task of asserting my authority and making it known that you will obey the orders of Pallas Athena."

"etc--"

Luo Yin said hurriedly.

"I can capture the city of Mycenae immediately and overthrow the hegemony established by the Mycenaeans. Zeus became the king of the Greek gods with the hegemony of Mycenae. After I overthrew the hegemony of Mycenae and destroyed Zeus, As the patron saint of the powerful Kingdom of Athens, you have the opportunity to become the new Queen of the Gods.”

Pallas Athena lowered her head and looked into Luo Yin's eyes, and said with a half-smile.

"Do you want to fool me like a fool? Your purpose of destroying Zeus is not to make me the Queen of the Gods."

Then, Pallas Athena turned to look at the Black Sea.

"The task I give you is to seize the statue of Artemis from the barbarians on the Tauris Peninsula in the Black Sea and bring it back to Greece."

After hearing the mission content, Luo Yin said in surprise.

"It was Zeus's decision to drive Artemis out of the mainland of Greece. How dare you overturn Zeus's decision and ask me to welcome Artemis back to the mainland of Greece - now is the time when Zeus's authority is at its weakest. Even someone like me Humans dare to destroy Zeus, of course you can overturn Zeus's decision, but I am a little curious. Do you ask me to welcome Artemis back because you sympathize with Artemis, who is also a Greek native god like you, or do you want to prove you. His authority rivals that of Zeus? Or do you just want Artemis to be your subordinate god?”

"I have no obligation to answer you."

After Pallas Athena finished speaking, she waved her left hand, and Luo Yin's body was immediately wrapped in a divine power and flew across the land and ocean, towards the distant Black Sea coast.

After sending Luoyin away, Pallas Athena spoke to the Spartans and Argives in the voice of the goddess.

"Spartans! Argives! Return to your respective city-states, now is not the time for the destruction of Mycenae."

Although ordinary humans cannot see the form of the gods, they hear the goddess's voice and decide to follow the goddess's will.

The Spartans returned to Sparta, and the Argives returned to Argos.

Tauris Peninsula on the Black Sea.

This was a wild place as seen by the gods - a place that had not been conquered and colonized by the Greeks.

The king who now rules here is Thoas.

The god that the Taurians believe in is Artemis, the goddess of hunting.

Artemis became a god believed by the Tauris people, similar to how Pallas Athena replaced Cassandra's previous life and became a goddess believed by the Trojans.

The Tauris people originally had a goddess they believed in. After the Greeks failed to conquer and colonize the Tauris people, they renamed the goddess they believed in to Artemis.

Artemis, the Greek goddess of hunting, conquered the Tauris people through faith——

Of course, this is a real-world situation.

In mythology, a statue of Artemis fell from the sky to the Tauris Peninsula, and Artemis became the god worshiped by the Tauris people since ancient times.
