Chapter 738: Chapter 262: The Disparities of Love
The Sky of Chaos, the sun fell west.
Apollo drove the Golden Chariot across the sky, and the Earth was peaceful.
The day's work was thus concluded, and the deity acting in place of the Sun returned to Mount Olympus.
The power of Mother Night surged up from underground, covering all the light in the sky.
No one noticed the small skirmish happening in the east of the Earth; it was like a flower on the Earth.
The entire Mount Olympus was unaware of it.
Northwest of Athens, in the City of Eryxis.
Nightfall approached, and the din of the day faded away.
The night of this era was so quiet that only the places where the Royal Palace and the church stood remained brightly lit.
The residents of the city had long since returned home, not a single shadow could be seen on the streets. Yet at this moment, a heavy pressure seemed to come inexplicably, weighing on everyone's hearts.
Shadows of dim color scattered in the sky, it was as if all the activity in Eryxis was confined here, unable to spread afar.

“–Zheng!”
Moment by moment passed, the invisible pressure increasingly ascended, but at a certain instant, before it reached its peak, a brilliant light suddenly erupted from the Royal Palace.
The sky seemed to be lit up, the fierce bright light tore upwards. The invisible pressure could not hinder it in the slightest, without a moment's pause, it broke through towards the southeast instantly.
If unobstructed, maybe in the blink of an eye it would leave this city. But in the next moment, five blazing beams of light shot up into the sky, firmly blocking its path.
In the blink of an eye, the light flickered nine times in the sky. Without the slightest inclination to fight, it easily broke through the interception of the four beams of light.
Engaging with an embodiment of Divine Descending, defeating is one level of difficulty, being defeated is another, having a draw is another, and avoiding the battle is the lowest difficulty.
In an instant, in front of Theseus, only the final beam of light remained, the embodiment radiating the Divine Power of the Goddess of Agriculture.
As expected, with the agricultural goddess's level of combat, he could leave with a feint without even needing to truly engage.
The Divine Descending of the other deities had not yet completed, as long as she couldn't stop him, this ambush would become a joke.
A dozen deities painstakingly plotted, only to have him escape with ease, what a ridiculous scene.
When today's events spread, the majority of mortals would not understand the mystery within. They would only think that All Gods were not so formidable after all, thus shaking their status in the Mortal Realm.
“–Something's wrong!”
The streaming light wavered suddenly in its forward surge.
Looking at the vague figure shrouded in Divine Light ahead, Theseus suddenly felt a premonition.
From its appearance, the figure was of a form he had never seen, but appearances were never the crux of the matter.
After all, the vessel of Divine Descending could be human, different appearances were only natural. Yet, at this close range, Theseus sensed a somewhat different divine power aura.
“This power… you're not the Goddess of Agriculture.”
“You're Hera!”
The voice was cold, but his heart felt faintly heavy. Instantly, Theseus understood the reason within.
The agricultural goddess had been replaced, under normal circumstances, a deity cannot disguise as another deity to perform Divine Descending.
After all, other things can be faked, but the godly power under the influence of authority cannot be imitated.
Yet today's Eryxis was different.
This ancient city had existed for many years, it was Demeter's holy city, as well as the origin of her church in the Mortal Realm.
Disguising here was the most possible success, and there were similarities between the authority of all growth and Hera's domain of fertility. After all, in the end, they were still close blood relatives.
Under such circumstances, covering some elements became not so difficult… Besides, apart from these, they had other assistance.
Without looking up, Theseus could sense the shadow gradually engulfing the sky over Eryxis.
Ancient legends record that the deities of the underworld were extensions of the ancient powers of the creation gods.
They more or less possessed certain abilities of ancient gods, Hades once separated this power, forging the artifact [Helmet of Invisibility].
Although there were no similar records for the other deities, this didn't mean it wasn't so. The powers they possessed might not have been as strong as Hades, the Lord of the Underworld, but in this power-limited Mortal Realm, it was sufficient.
“So this is the reason you act here. Because only here would I relax my guard against the Divine Descending of Demeter and the underworld deities, considering it natural.”
“And with nightfall, the powers derived from the ancient deities of creation would perform most perfectly under such conditions, concealing the commotion here.”
“Quite an ingenious plan indeed…”
Narrowing his eyes slightly, the right time, the right place, all were in Hera's favor, yet Theseus did not feel fear because of this.
The opponent was indeed a bit stronger than Demeter, but what of it. The right time, the right place, ultimately paled in comparison to his 'unity with people.'
“Come, Hera.”
“Let me see… how the Queen of Heaven differs from other gods.”
Seemingly a long time passed, but in fact only an instant.
The four embodiments that he bypassed were about to encircle him again, but at least for this moment, before Theseus stood only Hera.
Facing the final hurdle, the King of Athens hesitated no longer. A flash of light, and while shielding Deimophon behind him, Theseus had already arrived before Hera.
