Myth: The Ruler of Spirituality Chapter 740

Chapter 740: Chapter 262: The Disparities of Love_3

Oedipus killed his father and married his mother, brewing a human tragedy. Oedipus's son, Polynices, waged a war against Thebes with seven rulers to battle for power with his brother, resulting in fratricide, as both died under the city of Thebes.

This was the consequence of marrying a goddess, and it was only the beginning. On another timeline, the Trojan War erupted afterward.

When the great war began, Thebes, under Greek influence, should have sided with Greece to secure victory. However, the king of Thebes at that time, Eteocles, had a daughter named Andromache, who was married to Prince Hector of Troy…

Thus, later, the powerful mortal demigod, hero Achilles, ranked almost second to Heracles, led forces to massacre Thebes, killing Andromache's seven brothers in one day.

Greek mythology nearly concluded here, but no one knew whether the disaster of Thebes ended as well.

And throughout this entire history, Aphrodite, the ancestor of this lineage, had always turned a blind eye.

She never did a single favor for them, nor did Zeus, who was indebted to Cadmos.

“This is the difference between gods and humans, the inherent arrogance and whim of the creators. Even though humans today are not their creations, the outcome remains unchanged.”

“The deities… have never shown mercy to humans.”

The scarlet light burned upon him, and Theseus no longer looked in Demophon's direction.

He had already noticed the ugly expression on the Goddess of Beauty's face; after all, the story he just told was practically a direct mockery of her despicable shamelessness.

The gods planned to kill him here, then support Demophon to ascend the throne of Athens, directly undermining Athena's authority from the secular domain.

It had to be said, the Heavenly Empress's means were indeed formidable; she not only grasped the advantage of time and place but also did not neglect human factors.

But even knowing death was certain, Theseus did not intend to give up.

“Come on…”

Demophon's fate had no alternative; he would either be a pawn of the gods, killed by Athena, or successfully ascend to the throne of Athens, and then he and his descendants would be eternally cursed.

However, the fate of Theseus continued.

His life was not long, but he would still make those arrogant gods pay the price–

“–Boom!”

Suddenly, a sudden change occurred.

Among the gods, Aphrodite stepped forward, but everyone, Theseus included, thought she could no longer tolerate this human's bluster and planned to teach him a lesson.

Hera watched indifferently from the sidelines, not intending to stop it. Partially, she doubted this human still had strength for a strike; letting Aphrodite lose some face wouldn't be bad. Nevertheless, even if he died, his soul remained.

She intended to subject him to eternal punishment like Sisyphus and Tantalus.

Yet at that moment, unexpectedly, in one step, the Goddess of Beauty's body quivered and then erupted with unimaginable force within that frail figure.

It was divine power carried with the awareness of the divine descending incarnation. Though it existed, no god had ever used it.

Its sole use was to dilute into usable power in the mortal realm, extending the divine descending incarnation's presence. However, at this moment, for reasons unknown, Aphrodite used it.

Almost instinctively, all of the gods' avatars recoiled, unwilling to face the threat of divine power in the mortal realm.

The tremendous force tore through The Sky's veil in an instant, altering the clouds for a thousand miles.

“No–

“Damn it–how dare you!”

In the center of the change, a piercing shout, Aphrodite's voice was sharp and enraged.

She seemed to be conversing with someone, yet simultaneously, before the gods, a divine light suddenly flashed.

There, the previously encircled Theseus appeared to seize the opportunity, mustering his last strength, and flashed past the side of the Goddess of Beauty, heading straight toward Athens.

There too, existed a powerful force that could resist the divine descending incarnation.

“–Go, don't bother with her, kill that mortal!”

Seeing this scene, Hera's expression changed, and she immediately sped away.

She had no idea what Aphrodite was doing now, but Theseus had to die today.

Despite being struck by the long-prepared blow, he was already doomed, but Hera could not allow him to die back in Athens.

If he returned, Demophon's claim to the throne would be utterly void. Today's plan wouldn't count as a complete success.

“Trying to leave, don't even think about it.”

“Today, none shall escape!”

Under the night, divine light shot through the sky.

What remained was only a city gradually rising with human clamor.
