Chapter 597 Quetzalcoatl King Iekotel

1596 BC.

March.

After more than two months of wandering, the large fleet of the Athenian Empire finally arrived at the island of Haiti in Central America.

Haiti is the second largest island in the Caribbean, after Cuba, with an area of ​​approximately 76,000 square kilometers.

The inhabitants here are the Mayans who worship the goddess of the earth. They call the island Chisqueya and Ayiti, which means mother of the earth and the place of the mountains.

The Athenian Empire's fleet anchored at the port in the northern part of the island of Haiti. When Roy and Philomela walked hand in hand off the flagship to land, Philomela's abdomen already had a noticeable bulge.

This is certainly not the case that Philomela gained weight during the more than two months of sea voyage.

But after more than two months of uninterrupted love between Roy and Philomela, Philomela has become a mother.

Standing on the land of Haiti, admiring the strange and beautiful scenery and breathing the air blown by the sea breeze, Roy said with a bright smile.

"Philomela! This is the territory you will rule in the future. You will become the empress here and the goddess who brings advanced civilization to this land."

Philomela touched her belly with her left hand and said with a look full of motherly love.

"I don't care about the identity of the empress or the goddess. Now I just hope that this child can be born healthy."

At this moment, a group of Mayans - about a thousand men, women, old and children in total - rushed to the seaside with stone and wooden spears.

They were obviously not there to welcome the Athenians, but to confront the invaders.

Before these Mayans could approach, Roy urged the sun godhead to bloom with infinite light, and declared to the Mayans in the language of the gods.

"Humans who worship the Earth Goddess! I come from the land of your ancestors. I am the only sun god Phaethon in the world. The girl next to me is my wife. She is the incarnation and priestess of the Earth Goddess. I am here for you. The goddess who brought civilization. The land of your ancestors has entered the Iron Age of advanced civilization, but you are still stuck in the Neolithic Age. As long as you accept the advanced civilization and technology we bring, you will soon live a better life. Life."

Although the Mayans did not know whether Roy's words were true or false, the miracles performed by Roy were genuine.

So after hearing Roy's words, the Mayans knelt on the ground to worship Philomela, the incarnation of the earth goddess.

Of course, they did not worship Philomela as a human being, but worshiped Philomela as the goddess of the earth.

Philomela said with a guilty conscience after being worshiped devoutly by the Mayans.

"Brother Roy, you are deceiving them. I am not a goddess at all!"

Roy said confidently.

"As my wife, you will definitely become a goddess in the future. So I am not deceiving them, I am just letting you enjoy the treatment of a goddess in advance."

"You are so shameless!"

Accompanied by an angry female voice, a goddess with a snake body from the waist down and black wings on her back descended from the sky.

The goddess' delicate and beautiful face glared at Roy with an angry expression and accused him.

"How dare you use my name to deceive my people? Do you think I don't exist?"

Roy rolled his eyes and said.

"I did not use your name to deceive the Mayans. Do you arrogantly think that you are the only earth goddess in the world? Dear Metis! Dear sister Persephone! You want to be the mistress of North America? , let’s compete with Quetzalcoatl! If you can’t defeat Quetzalcoatl, you can’t claim to be the mistress of North America.”

Following Roy's summons, Metis, who had the body of a snake from the waist down and white wings on his back, descended from the sky to confront the Quetzalcoatl God Eekotel.

Seeing Metis, who had the same origin as him and also had the attributes of earth and sky, Quetzalcoatl God Eecotel immediately widened his eyes with an expression of disbelief on his face.

Seeing the reaction of Quetzalcoatl God Eecotel, Roy teased jokingly.

"Eacotel, the Quetzalcoatl, now you understand! I did not use your name to deceive the Mayans, because I was claiming that my wife Philomela was the incarnation of the earth goddess Metis. The goddess doesn’t mind that.”

"I am coming!"

Accompanied by Persephone's excited and joyful voice, Persephone also descended from the sky with a snake body from the waist down and black wings behind her back.

Seeing that Persephone actually had sky wings that symbolized the sky god's identity, Roy opened his eyes in surprise and said.

"Sister Persephone, your wings-"

Persephone said with a proud smile.

"In order to become more powerful, I absorbed the divinity of the Winged Serpent from Morrigan and Kuyerebus, and also gained a pair of wings."

Seeing Persephone arriving, Metis said with a somewhat dissatisfied expression.

"Persephone, didn't I tell you not to come?"

"How could I not come! This land will become my territory. In order to make the local gods here willingly surrender, I must defeat the local gods myself. If you don't want me to come, do you want to monopolize this place? ?”

"I don't have that much ambition!"

Metis and Persephone actually fought for the ownership of the American continent in front of him, Eecotel said angrily.

"Stop it! Since we are distant sisters with the same origin, I don't mind giving you some territory, but I, the feathered serpent god Iekotel, am the mistress of this continent."

Metis immediately looked at the feathered serpent god Iekotel with the eyes of a lioness staring at her prey and said.

"Since you are the mistress of this continent, I can become the new mistress of this land as long as I defeat you."

After saying that, as if she was worried that the feathered serpent god Iekotel would be taken away by Persephone, Metis took the initiative to attack Iekotel.

Persephone said with some concern when Metis took Iekotel away.

"Dear brother! Will the credit for defeating the local gods being taken away by Metis affect my getting territory on this continent?"

"No!"

Roy shook his head and explained without hesitation.

"Sister Persephone, Quetzalcoatl Iecoatl is not the only powerful god on this continent. Quetzalcoatl Iecoatl became the prey of Metis, and you can also hunt Quetzalcoatl's enemy - Tezcatlipoca, the god of thunder worshiped by the Olmecs."

"The God of Thunder -"

Persephone said with a complicated expression.

"Does the God of Thunder have the same origin as the Aryan God of Thunder? If Quetzalcoatl Iecoatl lived in the same area as him, why was he not conquered by him?"

"The God of Thunder can conquer the Earth Goddess - this is a false conclusion."

Roy said with a smile.

"In fact, the Earth Goddess was mainly conquered by the Aryan Sun God. The battle between the Earth Goddess and the Aryan Thunder God can only be said to be a mixed bag. For example, in the Greek region, most Earth Goddesses were not defeated by Zeus. Only some of the Earth Goddesses in the Asia Minor Peninsula lost to the Thunder God. On this continent, the Quetzalcoatl was the Earth Goddess who defeated the Thunder God."
