"Perhaps, Lady Hera didn't fancy you at all, but she had to find a reason to make you obedient, so she pretended to be your oracle and seduced you, a lustful old man, into doing things..."
"Don't be rude!"
Nicias heard this.
I was so angry that my heart beat faster.
If Niceas had high blood pressure, he would probably have fainted from anger by now.
So, Nicias, full of anger, chased Golgopas with his sword, which could cut through iron like mud. Golgopas, who had no weapon in his hand, naturally did not dare to take the attack head-on. Although Golgopas had the ability to counterattack or even kill, he did not intend to use this very important ability on Nicias.
And the situation of the two just now.
Suddenly there was a reversal.
Seeing Golgopas suddenly start to dodge, the morale of the Athenian army was greatly boosted.
Drubetti looked at Golgopas who was hiding everywhere and said helplessly, "This is terrible. I wish I were an oracle too."
For Nicias, now is the best time to pursue. As long as he can get rid of Golgopas or force him into a desperate situation, it will be a huge opportunity for Athens. Golgopas now has almost no ability to fight back. Once he is hit by the sword, the strengthened sword can easily cut Golgopas' body and cause very terrible damage.
Directly taking the other person's life.
It's also an easy thing.
But right now.
Suddenly, several black balls flew past his body.
Nicias quickly slowed down his speed and turned his head to see a red-haired woman with horns on her head standing on the other side and looking at him nervously. Around her were many black balls about the size of fists.
"Golgopas! I'm here to support you!"
Sophia said quickly:
"Go find a weapon!"
"Your Highness!" Golgopas slapped himself on the head, "Why are you here?"
"I'm not needed at Dione's place."
Sophia turned her attention back to Nicias.
"Your opponent is me!"
"Princess... Interesting, interesting! I never thought that Hilde's woman was also an oracle." Nicias looked at Sophia in a purple robe. He was stunned for a moment, then said, "Isn't this Sophia, the slave of Lord Pericles? Although I know that you went to Byzantium with Hilde, I didn't expect that you have transformed into the princess of the Byzantine Kingdom and possessed the power of God."
"Nicias!"
Sophia frowned.
"You are not a thug like Cleon. You are a rational person. You should know that if this battle continues, the Athenians will definitely suffer the greatest losses in the end."
"Shut up!"
Nicias loudly retorted:
"You are not an Athenian! You are just a slave bought from Carthage!"
"but I……"
"But what about you? Do you really think that just because you have lived in Athens for more than ten years, you are an Athenian? Stop saying these ridiculous things! You, including Hilde, Alcibiades, and Amyntas, are all traitors to the Athenians. Athens raised you, but you led the northern barbarian soldiers south, disobeyed the gods, trampled on civilization, and used your tyranny to replace the glorious culture and civilization of Greece and Athens!"
"No, it's not."
Sophia shook her head.
"Athens is the one that has fallen behind."
"Athens is no longer the Athens of the past, the glorious Athens. Cleon was able to become the archon of Athens and almost brought Athens to the brink of collapse and death, which shows that Athens itself has huge problems. Athens was indeed powerful, but the Athenians were addicted to the illusion of power and prosperity until the end. But each of them was fragile..."
"What do you know!"
Nicias held the sword and rushed towards Sophia quickly.
Golgopas had just changed into a long axe when he saw this scene.
"Your Highness the Princess!"
"Just a slave..."
"So what if I'm a slave!!!"
Sophia waved her hand, and a black wind suddenly blew up from the front, pushing Nicias more than ten meters away.
"So what if they are slaves? Are you citizens of Athens noble and smart? Wasn't Cleon chosen by you self-righteous citizens? Even the smartest Lord Pericles exiled his own daughter to Byzantium thousands of miles away for a false prophecy, and even arranged for someone to kill her! Is this the wisdom of you Athenians, you citizens of Athens?"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Nicias waved his hand and pointed to the Byzantine troops around him.
“But the prophecy came true!”
"Your Hilde has really come with the army of the god of death to destroy Athens!"
"The one who can destroy Athens is never an external enemy, but you yourselves." Sophia gently raised her right hand, and the black ball began to swirl in her hand. "You have been deceived and become a chess piece that the gods play with at will in order to realize their ambitions. But you have never thought about what will happen to you if one day you are considered useless as a chess piece."
"Sophia!"
Nicias said grimly:
"It's not that I don't understand what you said."
"However, as an oracle and the archon of Athens, I have my own position to uphold. Moreover, as it stands now, if Athens surrenders to the Byzantine Empire, the future we will face is something that no Athenian wants to see!" Nicias raised his sword, ready to strike. "Although you are a woman, you are also an enemy now. I will not show mercy."
"In that case..."
Sophia sighed helplessly.
"Then, prepare for battle."
"bring it on!"
Sophia waved.
Those black spheres floating in the air rushed towards Nicias from all directions.
These spheres seemed to have their own consciousness and life, and the angle and speed of each one were extremely tricky and terrifying. Nicias dodged quickly, and although he was able to avoid the attack, it was almost impossible for him to get close to Sophia while avoiding the attack.
At this moment.
Nicias realized it.
Why should the gods be afraid?
The fourth tune, the third section, the night falls again
A country, a country that was established even earlier than the time of an archon in Athens.
There are so many oracles and characters who can fight against gods.
Even in front of him, this slave who was not valued at the beginning and bought from the distant place of Carthage now has the divine power that many people dream of. These black spheres look like they are ethereal, but in fact, when these spheres hit the ground, they can easily smash a big hole in the ground.
At the same time, the divine power that permeated from their surface made Nicias feel very uncomfortable.
I always feel that it's very weird.
Like there's a problem.
At this time, a ball flew straight towards Nicias's face. Nicias was unable to dodge and quickly swung his sword to chop at the black ball. The sharp sword directly cut the black ball, but the black ball that was cut in half suddenly turned into liquid and stuck to the sword.
"what?!"
Nicias was shocked.
At this time, his sword was infused with divine power.
The divine power inside suddenly began to disintegrate and disappeared in a few breaths.
Seeing this scene, Nicias didn't know what was going on, but he knew that all this must have a lot to do with the strange black ball.
"damn it……"
"Give up resistance."
Sophia held the black ball and said with a wry smile:
"I don't want to hurt anyone."
"Hmph... With such evil power, you have become a demon, but you are here to say that you don't want to hurt others?" Nicias looked at his sword helplessly and said with a wry smile, "What a strange guy. But unfortunately, my answer is still, I'm sorry, I can't obey your order - even if I have to fight to death, I will stick to my own choice."
"Then..."
Sophia was about to continue attacking.
But at this moment, there was a huge explosion in the sky.
"what--!!!"
That childish scream undoubtedly belonged to Dione.
Sophia looked up and saw Dione falling directly from mid-air. Sophia didn't care about anything else and ran over and caught Dione who fell from the air.
Looking closely, Dione seemed to have been caught in the explosion.
She was covered in bruises and had no idea what kind of attack she had gone through.
She held the Golden Bow of the Sun tightly, as if she was still holding on to something.
"madness."
Hera, who was floating in the air, said coldly:
"Sure enough, you are still a green fool."
"Hera..."
Although Hera said this.
But in Sophia's eyes, Hera's situation was not much better.
Dione's attack was a huge threat to Hera. If she wasn't careful, even Hera might have fallen. Therefore, Hera's luxurious divine clothes became tattered, and her impeccable body was exposed from the clothes. Hera, the queen of heaven, was now seen by mortals, which made Hera quite angry.
Hera as a goddess.
This was the first time I was forced into such an embarrassing situation.
So, just now Hera directly used the power of heavenly thunder, which happened to hit the arrow shot by Dione. After the two collided, a violent explosion occurred, which directly sucked Dione into it.
This power of thunder and lightning.
That is the power of Zeus.
As the Queen of Heaven, Hera could naturally use it, but the power was much smaller than that of Zeus. And this kind of lightning is not just a simple lightning in nature. As a symbol of Zeus's rule over the gods, it has a huge killing power for beings with divine power. It is precisely because of this power that the gods dare not directly disobey Zeus. Even the most powerful gods may die directly if they are struck by such lightning in front of Zeus.
And Hera summoned a thunderbolt from the sky.
The explosion almost caused Dioni to lose consciousness.
The turbulence of lightning and thunder rushed around in Dione's body, and the severe pain made the frustrated little girl tremble with pain. But even so, Dione still held the Golden Bow of the Sun tightly, and with the help of Sophia, she tried to stand up and planned to fight with Hera.
"Dione..."
When Sophia saw this, she stood directly in front of Dione.
"You go and rest first."
"but I……"
"Just leave this to me."
Sophia took a deep breath.
“Humph! No matter who comes, the result will be the same!” Hera raised her right hand high. The dazzling golden lightning was jumping and crackling in Hera’s hand. In the sky, a large amount of divine power gradually gathered. “Now, the thunder of Lord Zeus will punish you disrespectful people who disobey the gods!!!”
"I won't let you hurt Dione."
Sophia held out her hands.
Lady Nyx, the goddess of the night...
Please grant me the power to change the night.
The black sphere that was hovering around Sophia suddenly shot up into the sky, rising to a height higher than the thunderbolt. Just as Hera was somewhat at a loss, Sophia gently closed her eyes, and that familiar feeling, a feeling of silence, coldness, and sadness, emerged from the depths of her memory. But along with it came endless dots of starlight, which suddenly illuminated the entire dark night sky.
"Um……"
