Chapter 404: The Chief of the Gods of the Apennine Peninsula
If the goddess Hera was the only goddess in the Athenian Empire, and Roy dared to say such blasphemous words about the goddess, even Roy himself would think he was crazy.
However, although there were not many goddesses in the Athens Empire, there were definitely many.
Everything is rare and valuable.
Zeus was regarded as the only patron saint by the Mycenaeans, so Zeus had absolute authority over the Mycenaeans.
If King Mycenae wanted to betray Zeus, not only would Zeus punish him, but even the Mycenaeans might betray King Mycenae.
The number of goddesses in the Athenian Empire was close to twenty.
There were so many goddesses that their authority could not possibly defeat the sole emperor of the Athenian Empire.
Even if Roy blasphemed a certain goddess, the angry goddess would not be able to punish Roy.
After all, the goddesses compete with each other. As long as the number of competitors is reduced, their territory can be increased and their authority enhanced.
If a certain goddess is crazy enough to attack Roy, other goddesses will definitely stop the crazy goddess, and then use the credit of saving Roy to claim more territory and greater authority.
Facing Hera's question, Roy looked at Minerva, Luna, Vesta, Diana, and Venus with a smile and asked.
"Which of you wants to marry me?"
After the five goddesses looked at each other, Venus raised her right hand and said.
"I don't want 30,000 square kilometers. If you give me 3,000 square kilometers of territory, I will make a marriage agreement with you."
With Venus taking the lead, Luna and Vesta also said hesitantly.
"I can too……"
"I am willing to marry you."
Seeing that Minerva and Diana were still hesitating, Roy pretended to be unhappy and said.
"I'll give you one last chance. Will you marry me?"
Is this a threat?
If they choose to reject Roy, can they still get the territory they want?
Minerva and Diana looked at each other, then Minerva sighed and said.
"If you meet my requirements, I will marry you."
Diana followed.
"If you want me to put aside my dignity as a goddess, I must give out enough territory as a gift for marriage proposal."
After getting the answer he wanted, Roy showed a proud smile and said to Hera.
"Goddess Hera! Since there are so many goddesses willing to marry me, it seems that my idea of marrying a goddess is not crazy."
Hera already has a territory of 23,600 square kilometers.
Even if she rejected Roy, Hera was still a proud and powerful goddess.
Minerva, Luna, Vesta, Diana, and Venus didn't even have an inch of territory.
In order to gain territory and ascend to the throne of the patron saint, even if they were asked to put aside their dignity as goddesses and marry humans, they would not be able to refuse.
Seeing Roy's proud expression, Hera gritted her teeth and said.
"You can only ask these landless goddesses to put down their pride and dignity."
"This is a matter of your own free will, and I didn't force them to marry me."
After responding to Hera, Roy looked at the five goddesses and said.
"The Apennine Peninsula has 250,000 square kilometers, of which 200,000 square kilometers belong to sister Persephone, 20,000 square kilometers belong to the goddess Hera, and the remaining 30,000 square kilometers are divided among you. Each of you will I have five thousand square kilometers of territory. This is just a gift from the proposal. If you really marry me in the future, I will give you more territory."
Five thousand square kilometers——
After hearing the numbers spoken by Roy, Minerva, Luna, Vesta, Diana, and Venus smiled, obviously very satisfied with the results they had sacrificed themselves for.
After hesitating for a moment, Roy continued.
"In addition, I will regard Sister Persephone as the head of the gods of the Apennine Peninsula. If you have any conflicts, you can ask Sister Persephone to help you decide."
The head of the gods of the Apennine Peninsula——
Although she was not the Queen of the Gods of the Apennine Peninsula, nor the Protector of the Nation and Queen of the Gods of the Athenian Empire, this title still made Persephone smile in surprise.
"Good brother, you are indeed like my biological brother."
Persephone rushed over and hugged Roy, saying happily.
"If you can make my sister the protector of the country, my sister can also agree to marry you."
After saying that, he looked at Hera with a provocative look.
At this time, Hera's face was extremely gloomy, and she looked at Roy and Persephone with cold eyes and said.
"Now I am also the patron saint of the Apennines. You made Persephone the head of the gods of the Apennines. Do I have to obey Persephone's orders? Persephone and I are equal sisters. I will never I will not bow down to Persephone.”
After saying that, Hera released huge divine power to distort the surrounding space, and then Hera's figure suddenly disappeared.
After watching Hera leave, Persephone said with a solemn expression.
"Good brother, Hera is not the only one who is angered by you."
After annexing the Apennine Peninsula, the territory of the Athenian Empire reached 330,000 square kilometers.
Persephone has 200,000 square kilometers to herself, more than the other goddesses combined.
In addition, Roy regarded Persephone as the head of the gods of the Apennine Peninsula. Metis, Mnemosyne, and Amphitrite, the goddesses who are qualified to compete for the throne of the protector of the Athenian Empire, will definitely be like Hercules. La is equally dissatisfied.
"Good brother, just support me completely! I promise to be able to control all the goddesses of the Athenian Empire and help you defeat all enemies."
After listening to Persephone's instigation, Roy couldn't help rolling his eyes.
After all, Roy and Persephone are just half-siblings.
Roy doesn't think that if Persephone becomes the patron saint and queen of the gods of the Athenian Empire, he can still control Persephone and other goddesses like he does now.
If Roy wants to maximize his own interests, he must let the goddesses check and balance each other and compete with each other, and let the goddesses continue to roll inward.
Just like suppressing Hera today.
Roy told Hera with the cruel reality that Hera was unwilling to give up the pride and dignity of the goddess to marry Roy, and some of the downtrodden goddesses were willing to marry Roy.
If these downtrodden goddesses become more powerful than Hera in the future, can Hera continue to maintain her pride and dignity?
In order not to be trampled under the feet of these downtrodden goddesses, Hera and other goddesses will definitely be willing to sacrifice themselves in exchange for more territory.
"Sister Persephone! When you help me become a god, I will seriously consider making you the queen of the gods."
Looking at the expectant look in Persephone's eyes, Roy said with a guilty conscience.
"Now you should be satisfied with the identity of the head of the gods of the Apennine Peninsula!"
"Good brother, sister is willing to listen to you."
Persephone showed a gentle smile and rubbed her cheek against Roy's cheek and said.
"You are so good to me, sister will definitely treat you as a brother and love you."
Minerva, Luna, Vesta, Diana, Venus looked at the picture of Roy and Persephone's deep affection, and Venus whispered.
"If he is willing to let me become the queen of the gods, I will really treat him as my husband."
Luna nodded in agreement.
It's a pity that they are not qualified to compete for the throne of the protector of the country now, and the competition for the throne of the protector of the country cannot be made more involuted.
