Hilde could see that.
Apollo was a little scared.
This confirmed Hilde's guess. As expected, Apollo's ability might not be as strong as everyone thought. When gods descended to the human world, their overall strength would probably be greatly reduced. This was the case with Apollo in front of him. When he faced three oracles at once, Apollo was obviously a little shaken.
A god who has always lived in the realm of gods naturally does not have the same cunning mind as humans, so Apollo is not as skilled as some experienced politicians in hiding his panic and anxiety. In front of Hilde, his heart is open, and at this moment, all his behaviors are exposed.
"hateful……"
Apollo couldn't help but take a step back.
"To have two oracles come to help you, I have to say, Hilde, your personality charm is indeed outstanding."
"It's not just because of my outstanding charisma, but also because I am a moral person. The reason why you in the Byzantine Kingdom are on my side is also because of this reason." Hill looked at Brasidas and Sophia on the other two sides. "Now that it has come to this, if you give up your obsessions, I am still willing to respect you as a god."
"So I should thank you?"
Apollo sneered.
Indeed, these three people can pose a threat to Apollo.
However, Apollo was not afraid.
For him, Hilde's behavior had completely angered him, so he could not tolerate Hilde's so-called peace request to him. In Apollo's view, this was a naked mockery of him.
And for Hilde, a decisive battle with Apollo is not Hilde's real purpose. What Hilde needs to do is to delay here long enough so that Tomyris can successfully rescue Dione from Apollo's clutches.
Since Apollo is really in Athens.
Then Dione must be here too.
This is Hilde's real plan.
While Apollo was being lured to a place far outside the city by Hilde and the others, Tomyris had already quietly sneaked into the city of Athens. Tomyris was very good at this kind of infiltration.
The city of Athens is still plagued by the plague. Dying patients can be seen everywhere, sitting on the streets dying. Even though Apollo has become the patron saint of Athens, he did not save the lives of these poor Athenians, but let them die.
Hilde told Tomyris all this on the way.
At first, Tomyris thought it was a bit exaggerated.
But now it seems that this is not an exaggeration at all.
These Athenians who died of illness had no sins, but they had to endure the torture and pain brought by the disease because of the selfish desires of the gods. Seeing this, Tomyris understood Apollo's sins better. So she became more determined. If there was no way to stop Apollo, if Apollo returned to Thrace and fostered another troublesome guy like the Thracian king, it might be a very troublesome thing for Scythia and Byzantium.
According to Hilde's instructions.
Hilde felt that Dione was most likely hidden in Cleon's mansion.
So, Tomyris went straight to where Cleon was.
In Athens, Tomyris could easily sense where Cleon was, but Cleon could not perfectly sense Tomyris's location. When Tomyris approached the mansion of Pericles where Cleon was, Cleon realized that a dangerous existence had arrived.
"who!"
Kryon at this time.
Waiting for the results upstairs.
After all, there has been no news about Apollo for some time.
But at this moment, when he turned around, he saw a girl with a pair of animal ears on her head suddenly appeared in front of him.
At the same time, the girl had already drawn her bow and arrow, aiming it at Cleon.
"You, you are..."
"Are you Cleon?"
The girl's voice was cold.
"……what do you want to do?"
"Where is Dione?"
Chapter 8 of the third chapter: A somewhat hopeless future
Cleon heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this.
It seems that the other party does not intend to make things difficult for me.
"So you were planning to look for Dione."
"Cut the nonsense!"
Faced with the arrow pointing at his forehead, Cleon naturally did not dare to act rashly.
He didn't even know who this guy was.
What if he's a very strong guy?
After all, in Clion's eyes, if Hilde dared to come here, she must be prepared.
"I'm telling you, but you can't kill me."
"Don't worry, we are only here to rescue people. Your life is not involved. Of course, the premise is that you don't play any tricks."
"Okay, it's in the room behind me."
"You go and open the door."
Under the threat of Tomyris.
Cleon had no choice but to get up, then walked carefully to the door of the room and pushed it open.
"well-done."
Tomyris walked to the door and looked inside.
When she saw Dione's current appearance, she couldn't help but widen her eyes, and then angrily pointed the bow and arrow in her hand at Cleon's forehead.
"you this……"
"No, no! I didn't do that!"
“Who is that!!!”
"Yes, it's Apollo. I, I'm not that cruel."
Cleon looked at Dione, who was gradually regaining consciousness.
"I don't believe it! You, you ask her!"
"Diony! I, I'm Tomyris! I'm here to help you! Tell me, is it this guy Cleon who made you like this!?"
Facing the aggressive Tomyris.
Creon had little ability to resist.
Cleon didn't know if he could defeat the girl in front of him, but her aura had completely suppressed Cleon. First, the strange animal ears, and then this majestic aura, made Cleon have no courage to fight back. However, since the other party said that she was only here to rescue people, Cleon was a little relieved.
“…I, I.”
At this time, Dioni used her other hand to prop herself up.
"Kryon...helped me."
"He, helped you?"
"Yes...it is true."
Dione slowly stood up and walked towards Tomyris.
"Sister Sissi, are you really here to save me?"
"Of course!"
"Very good……"
Dione's body went limp and she fell onto Tomyris's shoulder.
Tomyris did not put down the bow and arrow in her hand. She supported Dione's body with her shoulders, and then said seriously to Cleon in front of her:
"I will tell Hilde the truth about what happened today."
"Thank you very much."
"Humph."
After Tomyris said this, he immediately hugged Dione's waist and disappeared into the city of Athens.
So fast...
Cleon was glad that he had no intention of fighting Tomyris.
However, Dione was taken away just like that.
Cleon had a headache, but there was nothing he could do now. Tomyris had already pointed her arrow at his face, so he had no choice but to let Dione go. Even if Apollo had asked, Cleon would have had no choice but to give such an answer. Moreover, he did not want Hilde, the strongest oracle he knew, to be killed by Apollo.
And on Hilde's side.
The three of them struggled with Apollo for a while.
Indeed, two oracles suddenly appeared.
Apollo was at a loss.
However, as expected, gods are gods. Neither Hilde's thunderous attack nor Brasidas's flawless charge could pose a real threat to Apollo. Apollo's initial surprise turned into surprise and anger.
Hilde's ability.
This made Apollo more and more curious.
What on earth could make Hilde such an oracle?
It actually possesses such terrifying power.
With this thought in mind, Apollo said to Hilde, "I can give you one last chance now. If you give up resistance and kneel down to beg for mercy, I can forgive you for daring to attack me. This is your last chance. If you don't seize it, I will kill both of you and take you away, Hilde."
"That's it."
Hilde also looked indifferent.
"It seems like he can't win, so he's just pretending to be powerful."
"Hilde, you are quite courageous."
Apollo clenched his fists tightly.
"It's not too much to destroy your beautiful body a little bit."
"This is..."
Before Hilde could finish.
Suddenly, a bright light appeared in the direction of Athens.
That was the light from Tomyris's bow. The silver arrow pierced through the clouds with a faint blue light, but Hilde could see it at a glance. Seeing this light meant that Dione had been rescued and Tomyris was safe.
In that case.
There is no need to waste time with Apollo.
"Seiya! Do it!!!"
"What!?"
Hilde's sudden shout scared Apollo so much that he turned around quickly.
But at this time, Hilde and the other two had already run away at such a fast speed that when Apollo came to his senses, there was no trace of them in his sight.
"Hahahaha, who is Seiya!"
On the way to escape, Sophia couldn't help laughing.
Hilde looked back and said, "He is a hero."
"I really want to meet someone who His Majesty Hilde calls a hero." Brasidas expressed his admiration without hesitation. "However, today was really thrilling. It was worth the trip to face off against Apollo, who is at the level of the main god, and feel the true power of the gods!"
"Don't talk now. Escape is the most important thing."
Hilde looked back again.
Apollo didn't catch up.
Sure enough, according to Apollo's rebellious personality, he would definitely not do something like chasing people, which he thought was cheap.
