Chapter 223 Demigod Princess Persephone

After rejecting Persephone's request, Roy continued.

"Goddess Persephone, this is a war between us humans. As a god, you shouldn't be able to interfere directly!"

Persephone said with a smile.

"You are right. As a god, I cannot directly interfere in your human war, but I can become a human to stop you."

After saying that, Persephone's body bloomed with a mixture of golden and black divine light.

After the divine light disappeared, Persephone's figure attracted the attention of all the soldiers on the ship. Apparently ordinary humans could also see Persephone at this time.

To Roy's confusion, the soldiers were not surprised by Persephone's presence on the ship, as if Persephone had been on the ship in the first place.

"Let me introduce you!"

Persephone raised a huge black scythe with her right hand and pointed it at Roy.

"I am Persephone, the princess of Thenaron City. If you don't change your mind, I will be your opponent next."

Persephone, princess of Thenaron——

Seeing that the soldiers not only did not question Persephone's identity, but also looked at her with awe, Roy couldn't help but widened his eyes and said.

"Are you distorting mankind's understanding of you?"

Persephone said, shaking her head.

"As the patron saint of the Pylos region, I have a higher status than the king in Thenaron City, so when I become a human, I can set my identity in Thenaron City at will."

After listening to Persephone's explanation, Roy immediately thought that in the myths of another world, when gods take on human form, they can indeed set any identity for themselves, including king, queen, prince, and princess. They can also transform into men, women, old people, or young people at will, and humans will naturally accept the identities of gods and will not feel abnormal about their sudden appearance.

In the story of Odysseus, Athena not only transformed into a human, but also personally participated in human wars.

It was precisely because of Athena's help that the four weak Odysseus and his son were able to kill a hundred unarmed and defenseless suitors.

If Athena had not intervened and a hundred suitors swarmed the scene, Odysseus and his son would not have been able to kill them all in one go.

Roy said with worry when he thought that gods could directly interfere in human wars by taking the form of humans.

"Goddess Persephone, can you break the gods' rules and fight with me now?"

Persephone said, shaking her head.

"As a god, I cannot break the shackles of the rules. But now I am not standing in front of you as a god, but as a human being. What I can use is not the power of gods, but the power of demigods among humans. Heroes are equally powerful.”

"In other words, not only have you become a human, but you have also limited your power to the level of a demigod hero, so you can fight with me without being restricted by the rules -"

Although Persephone limits her divine power to that of a demigod hero, her divine power is still greater than that of Roy, who is a great hero.

Seeing that Roy had no intention of attacking her, Persephone suddenly smiled contemptuously and swung the black sickle with her right hand to slash at Roy's neck.

Roy didn't dare to be careless at all, and waved the war spear with both hands to block Persephone's dark scythe.

A loud bang!

Roy's war spear collided with Persephone's dark scythe.

Immediately afterwards, a huge force made Roy's hands numb, and his body continued to retreat involuntarily.

Bang!

Roy stopped when his retreating body hit the guardrail at the edge of the warship.

"There is such a huge gap in power between my current strength and that of a demigod hero?"

In just the first round of the confrontation, he almost fell into the sea because of Persephone's attack, which made Roy completely give up the idea of ​​fighting Persephone.

Because Roy had used all his strength in the previous confrontation, Persephone seemed to be at ease.

If Persephone had just used all her strength at the level of a demigod hero, Roy's head might have been chopped off.

"You were able to barely block my attack——"

Persephone looked at Roy with a look of surprise and admiration.

"Although I haven't used all my strength seriously, your strength is closer to the level of a demigod hero than a great hero. Maybe it won't be long before you become a demigod hero, and even be able to become a god after death and become a pillar. Hero God."

Sky Wings--

Roy summoned his black wings, then flapped them and flew into the air.

Leaving the warship where Persephone was, Roy looked down at Persephone with a relaxed smile and said.

"Goddess Persephone, even if you disguise yourself as a human, your power is not something we humans can resist. I don't want to engage in a dangerous battle with you. For your sake, I will not destroy the battleship you are on. Boat."

"you--"

Looking at Roy flying on the sea, Persephone said coldly with an unhappy expression.

"You actually have a pair of wings that I don't have, but don't think that with the protection of these wings, I can't do anything to you."

After speaking, Persephone walked up to a group of soldiers, then snatched the spear from the soldiers' hands and threw it towards Roy.

Whoosh!

The war spear thrown by Persephone struck Roy with an astonishing sound of breaking through the air.

Looking at the spear that looked like black lightning, Roy had a premonition of death.

Just when Roy felt that he would be pierced by the spear thrown by Persephone, Roy's body instinctively made an evasive action, narrowly avoiding the spear thrown by Persephone.

"You actually dodged it--"

Seeing Roy dodge the spear she threw, Persephone couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise.

She had predicted Roy's evasive trajectory with the wisdom of the goddess. Normally, Roy should have been hit by the spear she threw.

Did Roy accurately predict his attack?

Persephone certainly didn't know that Roy had the blessing of Mnemosyne [Predict the Future], and his body's instinct could predict future attacks and react.

In other words, unless the enemy's attack speed far exceeded Roy's reaction speed, even the attack of the gods could not hurt Roy's body.

"Goddess Persephone, do you really want to kill me?"

Roy said to Persephone with dissatisfaction after brushing past death.

"I have no conflict with you. If you dare to attack me again, I swear I will definitely conquer your city of Tenaron."

"You stupid human, if I wanted to kill you, you would have become a corpse long ago."

Persephone snatched the spear from another soldier and said while aiming the spear at Roy.

"I just want to injure you as a lesson. As a god, I certainly don't bother to kill weak humans."

After saying that, Persephone threw the spear at Roy.

Swoosh!

The spear came with an amazing sound of breaking through the air.

Roy dodged the spear and found that the spear thrown by Persephone was indeed not aimed at the fatal part, so he could only get hurt.
