Chapter 443 Aphrodite Is Too Greedy
With the blessing and divine power bestowed by the ten goddesses of the Athenian Empire, Roy's strength has been raised to the limit of a demigod hero.
Ptah, Ra, Amon, Atum, and Hentiheti, demigod heroes disguised as humans, can only be at the same level as Roy no matter how strong they are.
In the case of one against five, although Roy could not defeat them, he could still avoid their attacks.
So under the siege of the five gods, Roy successfully supported until the goddess of the Athenian Empire came.
Aphrodite came down from the sky to Roy with a huge figure of a thousand meters in height. The five gods who were besieging Roy were immediately shocked and stopped attacking Roy at the same time.
"I'm here!"
Aphrodite looked down at Roy and the five gods, showing a sly smile and said.
"It seems that you are in big trouble. You need my help now."
Hearing Aphrodite's tone, Roy couldn't help rolling his eyes and complaining.
"Are you eyeing the rich land in the Mesopotamian Plain?"
How rich is the Mesopotamian Plain?
The Babylonian region in the middle reaches of the Mesopotamian Plain and the Sumerian region in the lower reaches alone have more than 110,000 square kilometers of agricultural land, equivalent to 150 million mu of arable land.
In addition to the fertile and rich arable land, the Mesopotamian Plain is also rich in oil and natural gas resources, accounting for one-tenth of the world's proven oil reserves, and the proven reserves of natural gas account for about 2% of the world's proven reserves, and the phosphate reserves are about 10 billion tons.
The Syrian region in the upper reaches of the Mesopotamian Plain also has more than 50,000 square kilometers of agricultural land.
The Syrian region is rich in mineral resources, mainly oil, phosphate, natural gas, rock salt, asphalt, apatite, copper, iron, etc.
Aphrodite said with a bright smile when Roy saw through her thoughts.
"Don't you want to marry me? Give me the Mesopotamian Plain as a wedding gift, and I will marry you now."
"Shameless goddess!"
Hearing Aphrodite's words, Amon suddenly rebuked.
"You are willing to be the wife of a human being. You are really a shame to our gods."
"Oh - are you saying that the grapes are sour because you can't eat them?"
Aphrodite said without showing any weakness.
"If you are also goddesses, Roy gave you the rich Mesopotamian Plain as a wedding gift, can you refuse?"
Not only Amon, but also Ptah, Ra, Atum, and Hentiheti fell into silence.
Because they couldn't refuse.
The Mesopotamian Plain not only covers an area of more than 700,000 square kilometers, but is also fertile and rich.
Becoming the king of the gods of the Mesopotamian Plain can make you one of the most powerful gods in the world.
"You want me to give you the entire Mesopotamian Plain?"
Roy rolled his eyes at Aphrodite and said.
"Even if I don't marry you, I can't turn you into a queen riding on my head."
Roy felt that it was very inappropriate to let Persephone have a territory of 200,000 square kilometers in the rich Apennine Peninsula, and he was worried that Persephone might be too powerful.
In order to use Persephone's body to become a god, Roy pretended not to see the threat of Persephone being too powerful.
Aphrodite dared to ask for the entire Mesopotamian Plain--
"If you are not satisfied, we can still discuss it!"
Aphrodite began to bargain.
"If you can't give me the entire Mesopotamian Plain, you can give me half of the Mesopotamian Plain! You are still not satisfied? Then give me one third! Are you so cruel that you are only willing to give me four points--"
Roy interrupted her and said.
"What I give you belongs to you. What I don't give you, you can't take. Help me deal with them quickly, and I will definitely give you the benefits I deserve."
"Then the benefits you give me cannot be less than a quarter of the Mesopotamian Plain."
After saying that, without waiting for Roy to agree, Aphrodite summoned a golden bow, and then used her divine power to condense into arrows and shot at the five gods.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
As soon as Aphrodite's arrow left the bowstring, it split into five and shot at Amon, Ra, Atum, Ptah, and Hentiheti.
The five gods turned into gods with a height of 100 meters to block Aphrodite's arrow attack, and then Amon said to the four gods.
"We are not her opponent, let this human go today."
After saying that, Amon flew to the Amorite Peninsula in the south at a great speed.
After Ra, Atum, Ptah, and Hentiheti also fled at great speed, Roy immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing Selene at a disadvantage under the siege of Marduk, Nergal, Nabu, Utu, Zababa, Ulash, and Ninurta, Roy urged Aphrodite.
"Goddess Aphrodite! Now the Athenian Empire and the Hittite Kingdom are in an alliance. As an ally of Goddess Selene, you should take the initiative to help her."
"I can help her, but I must get the benefits I deserve."
"You-you really deserve to be the patron saint of Phoenician merchants. I will give you all the benefits I deserve."
Hearing Roy's answer, Aphrodite ran over to help Selene.
At this time, the Hittite Kingdom had a vast territory and a population of about two million.
There are only eight city-states left in the Babylonian Kingdom, with a population of about 300,000.
There is no doubt that the Hittite Kingdom is more than seven times stronger than the Babylonian Kingdom.
If the Hittite Kingdom's patron saint and queen of the gods, Alina, comes in person, even if Marduk, Nergal, Nabu, Utu, Zababa, Urash, and Ninurta join forces, they will not be able to defeat the Sun Queen Alina.
Although the moon goddess Selene is the sister of the Sun Queen Alina and has authority second only to Alina in the Hittite Kingdom, she is not the Sun Queen Alina after all.
Under the siege of the seven city-state patron saints of the Babylonian Kingdom, Selene fell into a disadvantage in the battle and became more and more embarrassed.
After Aphrodite intervened in the battle, she stood behind Selene and said.
"Dear Selene, I'm here to help you."
"No need!"
Selene refused without hesitation.
"The Hittite Kingdom does not need the help of your Athenian Empire to deal with these guys."
"But you look like you are about to lose. It is not shameful to be defeated by one against seven!"
"Even if I need help, I don't need your help."
After saying that, Selene took the initiative to retreat and distance herself from Marduk and the others, and then said angrily.
"Yam! Hadad! Istanus! I order you to help me."
The Hittite Kingdom conquered the Yamhad Kingdom in the north of Syria, and did not expel the local sea king Yam [Poseidon], thunder and storm god Hadad [Marduk Zeus], and sun and earth goddess Istanus [Aphrodite], but let them join the ranks of the Hittite gods.
Accompanied by Selene's summons, Hadad [Zeus] who is almost exactly the same as Marduk, Istanus who is very similar to Aphrodite, and sea king Yam [Poseidon], with a huge figure of a thousand meters tall, descended behind Selene.
