Chapter 185 Can You Play without Cutting?

"Goddess of Discord? That's what it is."

Lorne suddenly realized and looked at the famous goddess of disaster in front of him with interest.

Eris, the goddess of discord, is the sister of Ares, the god of war, and the daughter of Zeus and Hera in the Iliad. She spread pain and hatred between the two hostile parties. She once single-handedly led the [Golden Apple Incident] that caused the Trojan War, causing countless heroes and gods to be involved in that dispute and fight each other.

And the reason why she appeared in Thebes and bewitched King Pentheus to commit suicide, Lorne also roughly understood the reason.

It's very simple, because the builders of this city-state are the dragon slayer Cadmus and his wife, the goddess of harmony Harmonia.

As goddesses representing harmony and coordination in Greek mythology, Harmonia and Eris are natural enemies.

Now, the abdicated Cadmus and his wife Harmonia have both turned into dragons and disappeared because of the curse of the gods. Thebes, which lost its shelter, was simply a delicious cake for Eris.

Torturing the descendants of her old rival Harmonia on her territory and stirring up disputes in the sanctuary of harmony were simply irresistible enjoyments for the petty Eris.

Unfortunately, the headstrong Pentheus became the first to be bewitched.

Therefore, he arrested the followers of the Dionysian religion, even his mother and sisters, and personally stirred up chaos in his own land.

Moreover, Loen himself was also the blood of the goddess of harmony Harmonia.

In a sense, he and the goddess of discord, Eris, were also enemies.

Seeing that this set of tug-of-war had produced a lot of useful information, Loen smiled slightly and shook his head in a reserved manner to refuse.

"Thank you for your favor, but I'm sorry, I already have someone to serve - Lady Hestia, the goddess of the hearth."

"So what?"

The red-haired female calamity was unmoved and spoke proudly.

"As long as you agree, I can get the Father to agree!"

Can she convince Zeus?

Loen narrowed his eyes, his heart trembled, and he immediately overturned his previous guess.

If according to the records in "Iliad", she was just the sister of Ares, the god of war, and the daughter of Zeus and Hera, she would never have such confidence and ability.

After all, even Zeus himself had to be polite to Hestia.

It was a bit of a pipe dream for a mere daughter to turn against Tiangang and let Zeus offend Hestia for her.

At this moment, Loen's thoughts turned rapidly in his mind, and he suddenly thought of another record in "Theogony" and "Works and Days".

- Eris is also called Enyo, she was born from the death and blood of Nyx...

At the same time, a passage that Loen read in the Temple of Memory also emerged in his mind.

"Enyeo enjoyed war, and even refused to support either side in the war between Zeus and the monster Typhon, so that the war would drag on and never end. Enyo enjoyed the constant casualties in the war. In the battle, the goddess of discord Eris (Enyeo) escorted Typhon, while the goddess of victory Nike led Zeus. In the thunder and lightning rain from the sky, the fair Enyo maintained the balance of power between Zeus and Typhon..."

Here, the names of Eris and Enyo appeared at the same time, which means that the two sides were originally confused.

Moreover, this goddess of discord did have the authority that Zeus was afraid of. It was not surprising that a certain god king directly abstained from the topic of "who is the most beautiful goddess" in the [Golden Apple Incident].

Now, Eris's identity is about to be revealed.

Like the three goddesses of fate [necessity] and Hecate [chance] who also split from Nyx, she is also an extension of the will of the goddess of night, and after the battle of Typhon, she stood on the side of Olympus.

However, compared with the first two, although Eris has a high status, the power she inherits is even rarer.

Combined with the fact that she calls Zeus "Father God", it is very likely that after the Battle of Typhon, she was seriously injured by the trouble, and was subsequently recruited by Zeus, and with the help of Hera's womb, she completed her reincarnation.

And after experiencing the above-mentioned major cuts in multiple versions, she has now fallen to the point of quarreling with Harmonia, the goddess of harmony among the four generations of gods.

No hurry, play with her first.

Lorne looked at the mysterious female god of disaster, pretending to be curious, and asked carefully.

"I have a question, I hope you can answer it."

"Speak."

"With your status, why do you want to make trouble with Thebes? Without the protection of the dragon slayer and the goddess of harmony, they are at best useless descendants."

While asking, Loen looked at the city of Thebes below with pity.

In ancient Greek mythology, Thebes is as famous as Athens and Sparta, and even its culture, history, and qualifications are better than Troy.

But this city-state always has a tragic temperament for some reason. Semele was struck to death by lightning, Oedipus "killed his father and married his mother", Hercules killed his entire family, Antigone buried his brother, and other tragedies all happened in this city-state.

The shadow called "misfortune" always hangs over this city-state.

Eris even appeared in person and participated in the tragic war of "Seven Heroes Attacking Thebes".

Loen really couldn't understand what kind of hatred and resentment made this mysterious goddess of discord work hard to toss the small city-state of Thebes.

Eris did not answer directly, but instead asked a question playfully.

"Boy, do you know what is the oldest and strongest emotion of mankind?"

"Fear!"

Lorne blurted out, lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

At this time, Eris heard the answer, nodded with satisfaction, and a smile of approval appeared on his face.

"That's right. Fear is not only the strongest emotion of mankind, but also the beginning of the gods!"

While speaking, the red-haired goddess pondered leisurely.

"The vast god Uranus hates all his children.

He said that these seedlings are desperately growing bad,

One day, they will be punished for this.

So, the Father gave his children a nickname called [Titan],

They are [Fearful], they are born with fear... "

Lorn listened quietly, and the doubts in his eyes gradually faded.

Fearful - Titans born with fear?

It turns out that this is the origin of the Titan gods.

And then, Eris pointed to the earth, with a hint of mockery in her scarlet eyes.

"Similarly, when the world is stable and the gods no longer gain enough power from devouring, human fear becomes particularly important.

The fear of thunder gave birth to the indestructible "Thunderbolt";

The fear of war sharpened the greatsword of the god of war, the golden bow and arrow, and the spear of victory;

The fear of death made life and even sleep become terrified;

Finally, the awe of the gods brought prosperity to Olympus..."

Lorn nodded, thinking.

The reason is simple, the birth of faith basically comes from two sources.

Growing wildly from [fear], and brewing in [blessing].

Compared to the latter, the former is easier and more convenient to obtain.

Moreover, it works immediately.

Most of the ancient gods were born from human fear of nature.

This is especially true for the Titan gods who were born with "fear".

They need human fear as the cornerstone of consolidating theocracy.

For this reason, they constantly bring down disasters, provoke disputes, and warn mortals to be in awe, and constantly offer sacrifices and worship the main gods in the sky with their humble bodies.

Therefore, [discord] is the norm, which is in their interests, and [harmony] is like poison to them.

But now that the goddess of harmony has turned into a dragon and left this land, why does she have to torture these Thebans repeatedly?

At this time, Eris seemed to see Loen's confusion and spoke lightly.

"Because this land has produced [seeds] that are completely different from [fear], which seem to be able to shake the glory of the gods. I don't like it very much."

The light words fell into Loen's ears, but it was like thunder.

Because the [seed] in Eris's mouth may be him!

Among the twelve main gods, the only god of the world!

Among all the Titan bloodlines, the only one who forged the ladder with joy instead of perfecting the divine cause with fear!

It seems that Eris's tossing was probably instructed by Zeus.

Lorne suppressed his surging emotions and remained calm on the surface.

"Did you find it?"

"No, because it has been removed long ago."

Fortunately...

Lorne breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask in confusion.

"Then why do you treat the Thebans so harshly?"

"Of course, the soil where the [seeds] grow must be thoroughly turned over and the insects must be removed!"

Eris looked down at the city of Thebes, her scarlet eyes revealing a touch of excited cruelty.

"And, I like it!"

Hearing this answer, Lorne was speechless.

Yes, the goddess of discord doesn't make trouble, create fear for the gods, and increase faith. Does she have to do charity every day?

"Hey, after saying so much, what do you think?"

After a brief exchange, Eris continued to ask, while holding up her proud chest and revealing a charming smile on her face.

"If I am satisfied, I can meet one of your requests, any one of them..."

Seeing that the words were almost used up, Lorne simply tore off his disguise and shook his head to refuse.

"Forget it, I have a light taste recently and prefer to eat vegetarian food."

Eris followed the other party's gaze and subconsciously swept across her plump chest. She immediately understood the teasing meaning, and couldn't help but get angry and waved her hand.

"Don't know what's good for you!"

In an instant, the space around Lorne was filled with blood.

Blood species that had been scattered around at some point in time attracted nearby blood energy, condensed into scarlet swords, and shot at the target in the center.

At the same time, Loen raised his right hand and grasped forward.

In an instant, countless light patterns floated in the space in front of him, and Hermes, linear divine patterns, Titan holy words, and primitive letters formed a dazzling magic array, focusing fire in the center.

In the gorgeous aurora, the two gods looked at each other and cursed angrily at the same time.

"You really have bad intentions!"

"You are the same!"

Obviously, neither of them was a good guy. They all used the "peaceful" communication to secretly arrange the battlefield.

Once they turned against each other, they were ready to launch a thunderbolt attack immediately.

However, the two insidious gods calculated together and their advantages offset each other.

At present, they can only follow the old rules of the Greek God Age and fight with real swords and guns.

Whoever wins has the final say.

Eris wielded the blood-red double swords to chop the preset magic circles around, taking the lead in launching an attack while making moral criticisms.

"Bah, shameless!"

"The dignified female disaster god only knows how to bully mortals, and she also sneaks up from behind. You have the nerve to say that to me!"

Lorne retorted without hesitation, and immediately manifested the incarnation of [Warrior], while holding the greatly changed [Gun of Nation-making] in his hand, crushing countless blood-red swords and stabbing forward.

The strong will of destruction and the well-honed fighting skills made Eris, who took a hard move, change her face.

"What is that thing?"

"Wait until you lie down!"

Seeing that Eris was afraid of this [Gun of Nation-making], Lorne felt relieved.

Status does not represent strength, and Nereus, the old man in the sea who was served in turn, is an example.

Just as Eris relied on Zeus's fear of her and could not give Hestia face.

He also did not need to care about Zeus's opinion and deal with this female troublemaker who bumped into his gun.

At the same time, Eris also obviously realized that this god of wine, who belonged to the family stove system, actually had explosive combat power. Her face was solemn, but then she turned to surprise, staring straight at Lorne's back, and shouted loudly.

"Father God, he bullied me!"

Loen's heart jumped, and he subconsciously looked behind him.

However, all he could see was a dark night sky.

Almost at the same time, there was a whistling sound of wind in front of him.

Not good!

In an instant, Loen's mind turned rapidly, and he immediately looked back, and the [Gun of Nation-building] in his hand swept across rapidly with the strength of his arms and waist.

"Dangdangdangdang!"

In an instant, dozens of blood-colored swords were shattered one after another, and the two scarlet long swords that followed closely chopped heavily on the spear tip.

Accompanied by the two waves of golden and red ether frenzy that exploded in the night sky, the two figures flew backwards.

——Loen 200 meters, Eris 100 meters.

However, the goddess of discord looked down at the shallow blood mark under her ribs and the uninjured figure on the opposite side, and the smug smile on her face froze.

——She was bleeding, but the other side was not.

Attacking by surprise, it was just a draw.

This guy is not easy to deal with!

Sensing the gloom that was rapidly gathering in the other's eyes, Eris' heart skipped a beat, and a strong ominous premonition arose in her mind.

The next second, she chose to trust her instinct without hesitation, and a pair of dark wings spread out behind her.

Then, the two huge wings flapped violently, taking her away quickly.

Escaped?

Lorne looked at Eris, who had just fought a few moves and ran away directly. He hesitated for a moment, and the [Warrior] behind him immediately turned into a [Goat], activated the power of extreme speed, and chased after her.

I even took care of Ares, so why can't I take care of you?
