Chapter 750: Chapter 266: Heaven’s Blessing_3
“`
“Eryxis and the Western countries expressed their jealousy and dissatisfaction with Athens in this manner. We helped them expand their cities and gain wealth, yet they repaid us with blood and fire, even sacrificing their own people.”
“As of last night, the shaless Western countries even issued a villainous proclamation, attempting to wash away their misdeeds. Because their gods were not as powerful as ours and their countries were not as strong as ours, they sought to destroy, plunder, and dismantle everything we had.”
“This was intolerable and unacceptable to any rational and conscientious Athenian. If words could no longer resolve the issue, then Athens must address it in the way that Athenians would, upholding our justice in this world.”
“No matter how many resources or lives were consud, no matter how twisted the path ahead might be, this was the road we must take. Though slaughter might bring death, and though the Goddess bestowed upon us the wreath symbolizing peace, the invincible Lord also watched over us, and Athens never feared the arrival of war.”
“For a thousand years, perhaps even two thousand, before the New Chronicle had been recorded, in the era when Athens had not yet been born, the Western countries already populated the most fertile lands. Yet, they enslaved their own compatriots; conspiracy and slaughter spread among them.”
...
“The deities they worshiped once left behind one absurd myth after another, filled with blood and tears, bringing them pain as well as inherent greed and madness.”
“What the Athenians achieved in two hundred years was sothing they could not accomplish in two thousand. The ships that sailed on the sea, the goods sold to all countries, loaded with the crystallized blood, sweat, and Wisdom of Athenians, were the things they desired but could not obtain. Thus, today, they created this tragedy, attempting to force us to surrender everything.”
“Consider this, a land that exiled its children to military camps, letting them grow up in battle and forgetting their sense of sha. Consider this, those countries that regarded breast removal as a ritual and inscribed brutality in their lineage.”
“This was no longer a simple conflict; this was predestined to be a conflict between Athens, representing civilization, and barbarism, a manifestation of the Goddess’s Wisdom. It was a comprehensive war, a war to guard our achievents.”
“We must not only eradicate the Judgnt Faction in Eryxis, but we must also defeat any nation that interfered in this matter. Whoever dared to set foot on Athenian soil with hostility would be our enemy!”
“Relying on our faith and God, civilization would triumph over barbarism, and Wisdom would surpass brutality.”
“Gentlen—God bless Athens!”
“We would inherit the forr King’s will, allowing Athens to stand at the pinnacle of the world!”
“…”
The next mont, the tsunami-like sound echoed inside and outside of Athens.
Undoubtedly, an incident that could have unsettled people’s hearts turned into a grand swearing-in ceremony.
If the God of Eloquence were here, he would surely feel very pleased… Sitting in the Tower, Hers listened to the commotion in the distance and gently tapped on the table.
Previously, Hers had t Andrea, and even after Theseus was gravely injured and returned, he was ready to clean up the ss for the next King of Athens.
After all, his friend had never thought he would die and had not prepared much in advance.
“But in this world, there were always born rulers.”
“And in this world, there were still All Gods…”
With so sigh, Hers looked at his student.
“Solomon, get ready.”
“Take the item I gave you and, with the Athenian army, suppress the rebellion.”
“Yes, teacher.”
With a respectful expression, Solomon bowed slightly.
“Mm, go ahead.”
Nodding, Hers still trusted his student’s abilities.
Watching his figure disappear from sight, the Grand Alchemist approached the window.
The experiences of the once-fantasy Mythic World were vivid in his mind. When the banquet of gold apples appeared, he had thought yet another Trojan War would erupt.
But subsequent events told him that perhaps Troy would not happen again. If it did, it would only be the ‘Athens War’ initiated by the ‘anti-Athens alliance.’
But then again, given the current situation, what exactly was his cheap sister thinking?
“…Wisdom… Knowledge… Writing… Magic…”
“Cannot understand.”
Shaking his head, Hers abandoned these pointless speculations.
Just as he had never fully understood Zeus, so it was with Athena. Rather than pondering over others, it was better to consider himself.
To him, completing his long-prepared experint was more important than anything.
