I am a god-slayer, not your hero.

Mingxian couldn't help but sigh softly, a hint of sympathy flashing in her eyes: "You've worked hard too."

His words, like the warm spring sun, tried to warm Cassandra's heart, which had grown cold from the indifference of the world.

Then, Mingxian raised his eyelids and asked, "Are you willing to lift Apollo's curse?"

"Ugh?"

"To be honest, I can break the curse that Apollo has placed on you, but your words just now seemed to show a lot of respect for Apollo, so I should respect your wishes."

Cassandra hesitated for a moment, "Lord Apollo has always protected Troy, where I am. Without him, we would have no chance against the terrible Greek army. Besides, the enemy has Zeus's beloved daughter—the Goddess of the Bright Eyes..."

"Then do you want the curse lifted?"

"Excuse me."

Mingxian slowly raised his head, and golden sword-shaped runes suddenly appeared in his eyes, shimmering with the brilliance of wisdom and power.

Zheng!

With a clear and resounding sword cry, a golden divine sword appeared in his hand, its blade shimmering with brilliant light and inscribed with words of wisdom.

Mingxian gazed at Cassandra, gently raising the gleaming golden sword. The golden light of the sword, like the dawn's first rays, shone on the girl's delicate cheeks.

The light was somewhat dazzling to her.

The next moment, the blade swung toward Cassandra with incredible speed, like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, carrying irresistible power and determination.

The golden sword sliced ​​through her body, gently slicing into Cassandra's shoulder like a morning breeze, yet carrying enough power to cut through anything, before finally emerging silently from her lower abdomen.

Cassandra, however, was unharmed.

The only thing severed was the curse that had long clung to her.

The golden sword light gradually dissipated, leaving only a faint fragrance in the air and the smile on Cassandra's lips.

Mingxian raised an eyebrow in surprise, "You didn't dodge it, and you even laughed?"

His gaze lingered on Cassandra's face, trying to discern something in her clear eyes.

Cassandra straightened her back, a warm yet firm smile playing on her lips, and answered without the slightest hesitation: "Because Lord Naruhira is willing to believe in me, I will wholeheartedly believe in you as well!"

Her smile, like a flower blooming in spring, was warm and bright, causing Mingxian to be slightly taken aback.

Not a Ghost: Chapter 114 Zeus: Who are you calling "Old Horse"?!

It broke Apollo's curse.

Mingxian sat down opposite Edelweiss, and Luo Hao and Cassandra also sat down on the chairs in the pavilion. The group of people sat around the round table and started talking.

"The sun never sets because the chariot of the sun god has been stolen."

Mingxian recalled Helios, the sun god, whom she met when she first entered the [Divine Realm of Troy], and Apollo, who shot arrows from the distant Mount Olympus when he subdued the goddess of beauty and the goddess of vengeance.

"Hasn't Apollo taken over Helios's duties yet?" Mingxian asked softly.

As the words fell, a graceful figure appeared.

"Evil Heart" has a long, swan-like neck.

With a slender waist and graceful beauty, she exudes a light and alluring charm. Although her name has been taken away by the "This Body as a Contract," preventing her from freely using her divine power, she remains radiant as the most beautiful goddess of Olympus, possessing a beauty that captivates both gods and humans.

“Apollo was not an original god of Olympus. In fact, he, like me, was an adopted son of Zeus.”

The relationships between the gods of the divine realm do not completely follow the myths, but are only related to them to some extent.

For example, the relationship between Aphrodite and Hephaestus is that they are husband and wife in mythology, but this only exists in mythology.

This also led to a very bad relationship between her and Hephaestus.

They even reached the point of being irreconcilable enemies.

Mingxian asked curiously, "I've always been curious. There are so many gods in Greek mythology, you could even say there are all of them. Do you have that many gods on Mount Olympus?"

"Yes and no." "Evil Heart" explained: "The reason why gods are gods is because of their power, that is, their authority. In the [Divine Realm], the authority of many gods exists as 'divine spirits'."

"According to what you earthlings call them, they are probably beings like 'elves'."

“The names ‘Metis,’ ‘Atlas,’ ‘Boreas,’ and ‘Uranus’ do not refer to deities with divine status, but rather to the powers of gods.”

"That is why earthlings would regard the spirits who personify these words as our subordinates, children, parents, sisters, wives and concubines."

As the words fell, the zither player seemed lost in thought.

Metis symbolizes wisdom. Zeus is associated with the myth of devouring the goddess Metis, and the two have a mythological relationship. Therefore, Zeus actually possesses the power of "wisdom".

Similarly, the sky is symbolized by Uranus, while the four wind gods—Boreas (north wind), Nottos (south wind), Zephyrus (west wind), and Euros (east wind)—symbolize the powers of Zeus.

It controls the storms of the [Divine Realm].

Mingxian suddenly asked, "Goddess of 'Evil Heart', where are your 'Phobos' (fear) and 'Demos' (dread)?"

If the child of a god is actually the god's power.

As a goddess closely associated with Venus, Aphrodite should possess powers related to war, rather than being so weak.

"Evil Heart" puffed out his cheeks, put his hands on his hips, and said, "That is Ares's power."

Mingxian nodded slightly.

In other words, each symbol can only be held by one god.

However, there are also instances where the symbol of "storm" is broken down into four winds: east, south, west, and north.

Luo Hao suddenly spoke up: "Speaking of this matter, I am reminded of something. As far as I know, the gods of Rome seem to assign authority based on the weapons crafted by the god of craftsmen."

"Evil Heart" pondered for a moment, her expression slightly unnatural. She truly hated her husband in the mythology and said with disdain, "The power of the gods can be redistributed through weapons."

"Like the goddess Athena."

"But the favorite of Zeus, by groveling before Zeus, obtained the Aegis and could also control lightning, and even borrow power from other gods."

【Gods' Realm: Troy】is the world of Greek mythology.

The most important mythological plot point now is the Trojan War, and as such, Athena, the most important participant in this event, is naturally also involved.

The Trojan War actually originated from Eris, the goddess of discord, who, feeling resentful for not being invited, devised a scheme. She picked a golden apple from the Hesperides orchard, wrote "For the fairest of them all" on it, and threw it at the banquet.

Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite each believed that they rightfully deserved it.

Zeus refused to be the judge, so the three of them took the apple to Mount Ida and asked Paris, the handsome son of King Priam of Troy, to judge.

Paris is also Cassandra's brother.

Three goddesses came before Paris and asked him to make a judgment. Each goddess offered him a prize: Hera promised to make him the king of the earth, Athena offered him invincible strength and wisdom, and Aphrodite offered him the most beautiful woman in the world as his wife.

Because Paris is a frivolous man who has no interest in power or force, but only in love.

Therefore, he chose Aphrodite without hesitation.

"Evil Heart" continued, "Although we are both daughters of Lord Zeus, I am not a native Greek goddess, but rather from Cyprus in the Aegean Sea. I am Lord Zeus's adopted daughter. In contrast, Athena is a native Greek goddess, and can be considered Lord Zeus's biological daughter."

Upon hearing this, Mingxian's lips curled into a meaningful smile.

Edelweiss frowned slightly. "Athena, the goddess Athena brought us here, and now there's another Athena... this..."

Mingxian replied, "They are different goddesses with the same [divine status], or, on the contrary, the same goddess with different [divine status]."

Cassandra blinked. "There are two princesses with bright eyes?"

Mingxian said, "To be honest, it's a bit hard to explain. You can simply understand it as the same person at different times, that is, the past self and the future self."

"To distinguish them, we will call the Athena of the Divine Realm 'Princess with Bright Eyes' and the Athena on Earth 'Athena Who Does Not Obey'."

"From our conversation just now, I can analyze a few characteristics."

"The Divine Realm is a mythological world, and its structure and laws are completely different from those on Earth. It is based on the settings of mythology."

"Like the sun in the sky, it doesn't operate according to astronomical laws, but rather the sun god pulls a chariot to transport it."

"The gods in the Divine Realm, although their divine essence has taken shape, cannot use all their powers."

"The 'divinity' can be described as a collection of myths about that god."

"The disobedient gods are a more primal form that defies [mythology]. The power they display is 'all of their own mythology,' while the gods of the divine realm are deities who abide by mythology. They can only display 'their own limited mythology.'"

"Like Aphrodite's [divinity], if she were a non-god, she could use all the powers that came with her evolution on Earth, such as creating powerful divine beasts, waging war, and possessing the powers of the ancient goddess of Venus and the past goddess of the earth."

"However, she is not a disobedient god, but a god of the divine realm, so she can only use her power as the goddess of beauty in Greek mythology."

As soon as he finished speaking, Edelweiss asked in confusion, "So the gods in the [Divine Realm] are incomplete?"

“No, they are complete.” Mingxian shook his head. “They are just restricted by the rules of the [Divine Realm].

"If they go to the earth, as time goes by, their [divinity] will be completely liberated, and they will continuously assimilate with the myths circulating on the earth, thereby breaking free from their own limitations."

“If I’m not mistaken, they can even speed up the process.”

"The simplest way is to be reborn, to shatter one's own body and then reconstruct it."

"During this process, the myths that have been passed down on earth will blend into the body."

At this point, Mingxian tapped the table and revealed his second guess.

"Therefore, I believe that the God of the Divine Realm, like the God of Disobedience, can be upgraded."

"The advancement of those who do not follow the gods depends on self-improvement."

"The upgrade of the God of the Divine Realm relies on the expansion of his powers."

Mingxian's tone became serious, "The methods for expanding one's power may differ in different [Divine Realms], but in [Divine Realm Troy], the method is simple: seize the 'symbol'."

In Greek mythology, many less important gods have names that often carry symbolic meaning.

Uranus symbolizes the sky, Metis symbolizes wisdom, Nike symbolizes wisdom, Mnemosyne symbolizes memory...

The name of a deity is both a "name" and a word, used to refer to all things and phenomena.

These symbols represent the power of the Greek gods.

Zeus has "symbols" such as Uranus, Metis, Boreas, Nottos, Zephyrus, and Euros.

These "symbols" are power.

Just like the Golden Sword, Kunlun Sword, and Black Hole Trigger wielded by Mingxian, these weapons contain the power of the gods.

In the realm of the gods, Troy, the power of the gods is hidden within symbols.
