Chapter 511 The King of Athens Falls Into the Underworld
As the flames from the three-headed dragon Zeus enveloped Roy——
"Good brother, I'm here!"
The goddess Persephone appeared from the ground in the form of a human girl and blocked the flames that could burn Roy.
"Sister Persephone——"
Seeing Persephone use her divine power to block the surrounding flames, Roy first breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Perseus and Daberg.
Under the burning of the divine flames from the three-headed dragon Zeus, Perseus and Daberg, who had not yet died, were being burned to death.
"How pitiful!"
Roy looked at Perseus and Daberg with pity, and then said to Persephone.
"Sister Persephone, you will end my life, let's start our plan!"
"Are you really ready to die?"
"Yes!"
After Roy nodded with a firm expression, Persephone summoned the black sickle and swung it at Roy.
With a swish!
Persephone slashed at Roy through the air, and a dark blade light passed through Roy's body.
Roy's eyes went dark immediately after being slashed by Persephone's dark blade light, and his consciousness lost all contact with his body.
When Roy regained consciousness, he found himself standing lightly in front of Persephone, with an unharmed corpse lying at his feet - Roy.
"I'm dead -"
Realizing this, Roy was surprised to find that he could neither move nor speak.
"Don't worry, let me take care of you next!"
Persephone seemed to hear a voice that Roy could not make, and she used her left hand to release a black divine power to cover Roy's soul consciousness and body and said.
"Next, you are no longer a human on the ground, but a dead person returning to the earth."
After that, Persephone sank into the ground with Roy's soul consciousness and body.
The death of the King of East Slavs, Deberg, and the King of West Slavs, Perseus, completely collapsed the fighting will of the Slavic coalition.
When the war ended and 100,000 Slavic soldiers became prisoners of the Athenians, Erechtheus immediately came to the center of the battlefield where Roy fought with Perseus and Deberg.
At this time, the place had been burned to scorch by the flames of the three-headed dragon Zeus.
Erechtheus personally walked through every inch of the scorched earth and found two bodies burned to ashes in the scorched earth.
Who was the third person who disappeared?
If Roy was still alive, Roy had no reason to hide.
The ashes of the two bodies, could one of them be the ashes of Roy's body?
The two piles of ashes that were regarded as two bodies, could they be the ashes of three bodies mixed together?
"Roy - you bastard, are Procne and Philomela going to become widows before they are twenty years old?"
Erechtheus obviously could not accept Roy's death.
Of course, Erechtheus did not care about Roy's life or death.
What he cared about was whether his two sisters, Procne and Philomela, would become widows.
1599 BC.
Mid-August.
The messenger of Erechtheus rushed to Athens and told Procne and Philomela the news that Roy had died on the battlefield.
Athens.
The throne room of the Athenian palace.
"Brother Roy is dead--"
Hearing the news brought back by the messenger, Procne and Philomela on the throne were struck by lightning.
Although they had known Roy's plan for a long time, they still couldn't accept that Roy would end his life as a human being.
After all, if Roy's plan failed, they would really become widows at a young age.
Tick-tick-tick-tick--
Sad tears flowed from the corners of their eyes like a spring, and Procne and Philomela hugged each other and cried bitterly.
After crying until the tears dried up, Procne wiped the tears from her face and said.
"Philomela, the most important thing now is to complete the task that brother Roy gave us. We can't always be immersed in sadness."
Philomela complained dissatisfiedly while crying.
"How can Brother Roy treat us like this? Are we really widows, and Brother Roy doesn't care?"
"If Brother Roy really cares about us, how could he abandon us for the goal of becoming a god--"
Although she was also full of resentment towards Roy's ruthless abandonment, Procne still forced herself to fulfill her responsibilities as a wife.
Under Procne's order, a large number of messengers left Athens and went to various regions of the Athenian Empire by land and sea.
These messengers will bring the news of Roy's death to the queens who rule various regions and order them to build temples for Roy in various cities.
The first person to receive the news was Harmonia in Thebes.
Because her city of Thebes is closest to Athens.
The Royal Palace of Thebes.
The throne room.
After listening to the news brought by the messenger from Athens, Harmonia, who was sitting on the throne, frowned and said.
"You said order? I can understand asking me to build a temple for Roy, but what qualifications do Procne and Philomela have to order me?"
It's not just Harmonia who can't accept orders.
Nefer in Egypt, Andromeda and Semiramis in Mesopotamia, Hatepuna in Asia Minor, Hippolyta in Thrace - none of them could accept orders from Athens.
Only girls like Chione, who were not strong-willed, accepted orders from Athens.
The dark and lightless underground world——
Underworld!
Persephone's Temple of the Underworld.
For Roy's soul, the darkness of the underworld is like daylight, and Roy can see everything in the darkness.
At this time, Roy was watching how Persephone used her divine power to protect her body and keep her body in a state of just death.
After Persephone's black power wrapped around Roy's body like a cocoon, Roy began to worry about the state of the Athenian Empire.
Roy knew very well that while he was alive, the Athenian Empire could remain a whole with himself as the center.
Without herself as the center to maintain the Athenian Empire, the queens who managed various regions of the Athenian Empire on their behalf could cause the Athenian Empire to fall apart at any time.
Now in the underworld, Roy could only pray that the queens would not betray her husband.
In this day and age, wives must be loyal to their husbands.
But widows can remarry.
In the myth of another world, Odysseus was unable to return to Ithaca after the Trojan War, so he was thought to have been shipwrecked and died on the way home.
Odysseus's young and beautiful wife was regarded as a queen with a throne and attracted hundreds of suitors to propose marriage.
If Roy's wives choose to remarry, not only will the Athenian empire be torn apart, but the fruits of Roy's efforts will be stolen by other men.
In his uneasiness, Roy couldn't help but have thoughts of regret.
Maybe I shouldn’t be so eager to start becoming a god——
After all, if Roy's plan fails, Roy's wives will become young widow queens, with endless followers wooing them.
"Is this what it feels like to live like a year? Before I return to the human world as a heroic god, you must not betray me!"
In Roy's silent prayer, bits of starlight passed through the darkness of the underworld and entered the Temple of Persephone, constantly gathering around Roy's soul.
