I Was a Priest in the City-State Era

Chapter 356 Gods Are Immortal but Will Also Fall

When night falls.

Artemis stood on the edge of the Acropolis and looked down at the city of Athens, her eyes full of complex expressions.

Compared with the first time Artemis came to the city of Athens, the city of Athens had become more prosperous.

And this change happened in just a few months.

“If I were the patron saint of this city, I would be the Mediterranean—the greatest god in the whole world.”

"This city belongs to me."

Metis' cold voice said.

"If there are other gods who want to compete with me for the city of Athens, even if they are sisters who have the same origin as me, I will never forgive them."

While speaking, Metis appeared next to Artemis in the form of a human girl.

Artemis turned to look at Metis beside her and said with a smile.

"Metis, you have indeed discovered me a long time ago."

"Do you think I am blind? I already noticed it when you first came to Athens."

Metis looked at Artemis with cold eyes and said.

"I've seen even the fact that you knelt down to humans - to Roy. You actually said you wanted to marry a human. It really embarrasses us sisters."

"Is this the arrogance of a goddess standing on a throne?"

Artemis said with a forced smile.

"Now your identity is the patron saint of the city of Athens. In the future, you may become the Queen of the Gods of the Kingdom of Athens. Of course you can despise me for surrendering to humans. If our identities were exchanged, could you still maintain this arrogance? You But don’t forget that becoming a wandering goddess is not the end of our fall. Although we are immortal gods, we are not immortal.”

Just like the end point of a wandering lion is to become a lion king with a territory, or to die in obscurity.

There are only two ways to the end of the wandering gods - to ascend the throne again, or to be submerged and disappeared by the long river of time.

"Artemis, are you worried that you will disappear?"

"Metis! Before the blond and blue-eyed Caucasian nomads migrated over, the Pilaskis lived in the Great Plains of Thessaly, Macedonia, and Thrace, and our sisters guarded them. Caucasian Nomads Only more than four hundred years have passed since the invasion. Who now remembers the Pilaski people who lived in the Great Plains of Thessaly, Macedonia, and Thrace? The human goddess? Disappeared—the sisters with the same origin as us have not even left their names, and have completely disappeared into the history of the past.”

"Those sisters who didn't even have their names left - the gods of Thrace made them disappear?"

"You can say that!"

Artemis said while looking at the city of Athens below.

"Although our gods are immortal beings, they need territory to support us. If we lose the throne of our patron saint, we can only become subordinate gods of other gods and continue to survive by relying on other gods. Becoming a true wandering god In the end, it may only take a few hundred years for our names to disappear from the past history, and the gods who do not even have names will naturally disappear from this world completely. Metis! A wandering god, if I don’t seize every opportunity to ascend to the throne of God again, will I have to wait until my name disappears before I abandon my pride and self-esteem to fight for the throne of God?”

In the history of another world.

It is a very lucky accident that Artemis, who lost her identity as the patron goddess of Arcadia, can re-emerge as the twelve main gods of Olympus.

Because the Greeks wanted to replace Bendis, the Thracian goddess of the moon and hunt, with a native Greek god, Artemis was given Bendis's authority.

Because the Greeks who colonized the Asia Minor Peninsula wanted to replace the sun god Helios in Thrace with Apollo, Artemis, who was confused with Bendis, the goddess of the moon and hunting, was lucky enough to become Apollo's sister, like Like Dionysus, the god of wine, he relied on Apollo to enhance his authority.

Artemis's re-emergence has nothing to do with her own efforts.

If Artemis was unlucky, the Greeks could have another goddess confused with Bendis, the goddess of the moon and hunting, and then become Apollo's sister.

Artemis, who was not favored by the goddess of luck, might have declined into an unknown goddess, and might have disappeared along with her name.

The history of another world has proven that Artemis, who became a wandering goddess, cannot become a patron saint again by relying on her own strength.

Perhaps because of her self-awareness of her own strength, Artemis has a strong sense of crisis.

This is exactly why she agreed to marry Roy in order to regain her position as the patron saint.

"Artemis..."

Metis looked at Artemis with sympathetic eyes and said.

"I understand your desire to continue to survive. As long as you have no ambition to compete with me for the city of Athens, I will not hinder you."

After saying that, Metis' body bloomed with divine light and disappeared.

Looking at where Metis was just now, Artemis said with a determined expression.

"I will definitely ascend the throne of God again and become a goddess more powerful than you."

Bathroom in the Royal Palace of Athens.

After driving out all the palace maids who served him, Roy lay alone in the mini swimming pool-like bathtub, looking at his own shadow on the wall.

As the flame of the candle changed irregularly, Roy's shadow on the wall also kept changing.

When Roy was about to fall asleep, someone approached with silent footsteps.

"Didn't I say that I don't need the service of you maids--"

Before the dissatisfied words were finished, a figure jumped into the bath like a mermaid.

Seeing her beautiful braids and beautiful face, Roy's eyes widened immediately.

"Hippodamia--"

Hippodamia swam to Roy, holding Roy's shoulders with both hands and said with a blushing face.

"Please save us, I will do my best to serve you and be a humble maid by your side."

Just when Roy was hesitating whether to escape, chaotic footsteps came from outside the bathroom.

Roy turned around and saw Procne, Philomela and a group of palace maids walking in aggressively, followed by Io, Andromeda, Callisto and Calypso with curious faces.

"What are you doing? Why are so many people barging in?"

"Brother Roy, don't worry about anything. We are here to catch this thieving cat."

Philomela waved her hand, and several palace maids immediately took Hippodamia out of the bath and brought her to Procne and Philomela.

"You bold thieving cat, we haven't married Brother Roy yet, and you actually want to use this method to get ahead. Today we will teach you a lesson and let others know the consequences of stealing a husband from us."

After saying that, Philomela took out a whip and handed it to Procne.

After taking the whip from Philomela, Procne looked at Roy with hesitation and asked.

"Brother Roy, can we teach her a lesson?"

Obviously, Procne didn't want to destroy her image in Roy's heart by teaching Hippodamia a lesson.

"Forget it!"

Roy said helplessly.

"She is also trying to save her city-state."
