Chapter 342 The War of the Gods Begins

Of course, the patron gods of the Kingdom of Athens are not only Mnemosyne and Amphitrite who can come to the Thrace region.

Just when Bendis was about to challenge Helios again, a huge shadow suddenly covered the ground.

Bendis looked up and saw Metis with wings behind him falling from the sky. It was Metis's wings that blocked the sun's rays just now.

Metis descended on the battlefield, first looked down at the war between humans, then looked at Helios and said.

"It seems that you are the strongest god in the Thrace region, so you are the enemy I want to defeat."

"Wait--"

Bendis came to Metis again and said.

"Helios is my enemy, and your enemies should be Helios's subjects."

Metis is not Amphitrite.

Hearing Bendis' words, Metis said with a dissatisfied expression.

"The strongest me should challenge the strongest enemy. Do you think you are stronger than me?"

"Isn't this a matter of course?"

Bendis said confidently.

"I am the only one who is qualified to be the opponent of Helios."

"You are a guy without self-knowledge--"

Metis said with a sneer.

"Then go and challenge Helios, let me see if you can really fight him."

At the instigation of Metis, Bendis rushed towards Helios with his spear.

"Prestorus! Kandaon!"

The war gods Prestorus of the Apsin tribe and Kandaon of the Creston tribe, who were called by their names by Helios, immediately fought Bendis at the same time.

"Don't get in the way!"

Seeing the two war gods blocking him together, Bendis shouted angrily while attacking them with his spear.

"My opponent is Helios, not you two subjects."

Kandaon sneered at Bendis's contempt.

"Proud goddess Bendis! Although we are no match for you in a one-on-one fight, you underestimate us too much. There is no need for His Majesty Helios to take action. You can't even defeat the two of us."

"Kandaon is right!"

Prestorus agreed while attacking Bendis from both sides with Kandaon.

"Bendis, you are not qualified to challenge His Majesty Helios now, just like your Amazon tribe does not have the strength to challenge the Sun Tribe."

Under the attack of the two war gods Prestorus and Kandaon, Bendis did not lose, but she could not suppress the two war gods.

Arrogant Bendis had to accept the reality. There was still a big gap between her and Helios.

If it weren't for the help of the patron saint of the Kingdom of Athens, she would have become the loser of the battle of gods.

Just like Hippolyta had become the spoils of Aeetes without the help of Roy.

Seeing that Bendis was evenly matched with Prestorus and Kandaon, Metis looked at Helios and the thunder god Zibelsuld and Sabazios, the plant god of the Sabazi tribe behind him.

"The king's opponent should be the king! Since Helios is the king of the Thracian gods, his opponent should of course be me. Helios' two subjects, come and help me deal with them."

After Metis finished speaking, the figure of the goddess Knight fell from the sky.

Obviously, the person Metis was talking to was Knight.

"Are you treating me as your subject?"

After Knight asked with a smile, Metis said without hesitation.

"Athens is the capital of the Kingdom of Athens. As the patron saint of Athens, I will become the king of the gods of the Kingdom of Athens. All the gods of the Kingdom of Athens are my subjects. What's wrong with you obeying my orders?"

"Although in theory you will become the patron saint of the Kingdom of Athens, the King of Athens has pulled you down from the throne of the patron saint once. Will you really become the king of the gods of Athens in the end?"

Seeing the furious expression on Metis's face, Knight immediately continued.

"I don't want to fight a civil war with you, so I will obey your orders this time."

After speaking, Knight summoned the golden spear with his right hand, and then rushed towards the thunder god Zibersuld and the plant god Sabazios like a hunting lioness.

The plant god Sabazios is now just a patron saint who is not much stronger than Dionysus.

But five hundred years later, the tribes that worship Sabazios migrated to the Anatolian Peninsula to establish an agricultural city-state. As the plant god, Sabazios not only had an enhanced authority, but was also worshipped as the sun god.

The authority of the plant god Sabazios increased after five hundred years, but of course it would not change the fact that he is now a weak god.

Facing the fierce goddess Knight, the thunder god Zibelsuld and the plant god Sabazios joined forces to fight, but were still suppressed by Knight.

Seeing that Helios's subjects were suppressed by the goddess of his own camp, Metis summoned the black divine spear with her right hand, and then walked towards Helios and said.

"Helios! Now your subjects are suppressed, and you, as the king of the Thracian gods, will not be able to absorb their divine power. In other words, as my opponent, you can only exert the divine power of the patron saint of the Sun Tribe."

Helios said expressionlessly.

"Even if I am only the patron saint of the Sun Tribe, my strength is not comparable to yours."

"Your arrogance is really like a certain man."

Metis glanced at Roy on the ground and said.

"I will use my strength to crush the arrogance of you men and let you know that I am the real strongest."

"You said I am an arrogant man, aren't you also an arrogant goddess?"

"I am stating the fact that I am the strongest, this is not arrogance."

After saying that, Metis waved the black divine spear and stabbed Helios.

Helios released the blazing sun fire, trying to prevent Metis from approaching him.

The sun fire surged in front of Metis and was immediately extinguished by Metis's divine power.

Seeing the surprised expression on Helios' face, Metis laughed playfully.

"You didn't think I was a god of the sky attribute because you saw my wings! Although I am indeed a god of the sky attribute, I am also a goddess of the sea attribute and a mother goddess of the earth attribute. I can use mud as a shield to block your flames, and I can also use sea water to extinguish your flames."

Helios, the sun god——

He is both the god of light that shines brightly and illuminates the world, and the god of fire that burns and warms the world.

Even in Greek mythology, the sun god Helios is regarded as the original god of fire.

In the Thracian region, the sun god Helios is the supreme king of gods.

Because in the ancient times when civilization was backward, the only object that humans in high latitudes could crave was the sun if they wanted to survive in the severe winter.

As long as the sun spreads more warmth, the hope of human survival in winter will be greater.

Later, with the development of civilization, humans were able to rely on charcoal or coal to ensure their survival in the cold winter, and the authority of the sun god Helios gradually declined.

In today's era, it is not just the sun god Helios, but also the sun god Mithra of the Persian Plateau, the sun queen of the Asia Minor Peninsula, and Jupiter in the Roman region. These sun gods in high latitudes are the highest gods in the local area, which is obviously not a coincidence.
