I am a god-slayer, not your hero.

Only with these "symbols" can one use the corresponding [powers]. Possessing the symbol of "wind" allows one to stir up a gale; possessing the symbol of "rain" allows one to bring down a rainstorm; possessing the symbol of "light" allows one to bring down light...

"Symbol" means authority.

With this authority, the Greek gods could use the corresponding divine power, even though they originally possessed the corresponding divine power.

However, this authority can also be redistributed.

One of the methods is the weapons of the heavens.

Mingxian said, "In Roman mythology, Vulcan is the god of power. Almost all the divine weapons in the hands of the gods were made by him, such as Apollo's chariot of the sun, Cupid's golden arrows and lead arrows, and Jupiter's shield."

"And he also built the palace of the gods on Mount Olympus."

"It can be said that Vulcan allocated the powers of the gods and established the ruling structure of the gods. The divine artifacts he forged represented the power and responsibilities of the gods."

In this way, the laws of [God Realm - Troy] are clarified.

The deity's divine nature is limited, preventing them from unleashing their full power, but their base stats remain, meaning their divine power is still intact.

Their divine power (cursed power) is greater than that of the god-slayers, but they cannot use their powers at will.

Top-tier gods, relying on their privileges as chief gods, possess vast powers and are not subject to as many restrictions.

Especially Zeus, the king of the gods, possessed a great many symbols and powers that he could use, perhaps as much as, or even more than, those of a disobedient god.

"In conclusion, Athena's purpose in not following her is to improve herself and return to her perfect state."

Mingxian stroked his chin, giving his conclusion.

Without the Gorgon Stone, she chose another path: to seize the 'symbol' of the Divine Realm, Troy.

Edelweiss asked doubtfully, "She is not a native deity either."

Luo Hao said, "There are many gods outside of Greece in this [divine realm]."

Mingxian added, "This is the world of Greek mythology, but it's not just Greece. Rather, many of the place names that appear in Greek mythology, such as the Peloponnese, are located outside the territory of modern Greece."

"For example, the Caucasus on the Black Sea coast, Thrace in Eastern Europe, Phrygia, the country of King Midas who could turn stones into gold, is located inland in Turkey, while Cyprus, the island where Aphrodite was born, is located in the Aegean Sea, next to Türkiye and Syria."

The place names are listed clearly and fluently.

"Therefore, the goddess of 'evil'... the goddess Aphrodite was a partner of Troy. She was originally the earth mother goddess worshipped in Eastern countries, and this was 'transmitted' into Greek mythology and localized into the goddess of love and beauty."

"It is only natural that a goddess born in the east of Greece would help her 'compatriots'."

Similarly, Apollo is a foreign god who did not originate from a Greek country, while Ares, the god of war, is a god worshipped by the Scythians, a horse-riding people in Thrace.

"Because they were originally gods belonging to the East, they did not join the Greeks, but instead became partners of Troy."

"These foreign gods have the same power in the world of Greek mythology."

"To obtain a 'symbol' increases power, removes restrictions, and strengthens one's abilities."

Mingxian pointed to the sun high in the sky.

"By obtaining the Sun Chariot and the symbol of the sun, Apollo gained the power of the sun god, or rather, he was freed from the limitations of his divine status."

Edelweiss asked, "What 'symbol' will Athena use to target those who disobey?"

"Of course it's her."

Mingxian answered without hesitation.

What could enhance one's power more than seizing one's own?

"Haha..." "Evil Heart" immediately burst into laughter, "Athena wants to steal Athena's power, this is the funniest joke I've ever heard."

The goddess's laughter echoed in the courtyard.

To this, Cassandra could only say helplessly, "Well, Lady Aphrodite, isn't it a bit inappropriate to mock Lady Athena like that?"

"In this war, she also led the Greek heroes around the adults, and called herself a queen." "Evil Heart" said mercilessly, "She pretends to be innocent and calls herself a virgin goddess, but she makes men serve her and feels proud of it. It's really laughable."

Suddenly, a wisp of black mist appeared.

With its pure white wings spread, "Chou Mo" appeared in the courtyard.

"Goddess of Cyprus, and my employer, while I have no interest in your schemes against the gods, I must say that if the goal is 'symbolism,' then with the wisdom of the goddess Athena, her avatars might very well target my mother."

Mingxian was taken aback upon hearing this, and quickly asked, "Your mother, could it be [Nyx]?"

"Chou Mo" solemnly said, "The ancient primordial gods and Titan gods were mostly concepts that made up the world, which is what you call 'symbols'. The most powerful symbol in the divine realm now is my mother—the goddess of night, Nyx."

Mingxian immediately recalled the dark altar that Nemesis had summoned during their previous battle.

"Where is the symbol of [Nyx]?"

"It is everywhere, in all the darkness."

"If Athena doesn't comply, how will she seize the 'symbol'?"

“There’s no way around it. I don’t think anyone can possess such a vast amount of divinity.” “Qiu Mo” said solemnly. “But I dare not underestimate the wisdom of the goddess Athena. So if that Athena on earth really has designs on my mother, I will lend you a hand.”

As a subordinate to God, she had to pay the price of "freedom".

"Qiu Mo" would naturally cash out the money immediately and run away to enjoy this brief period of freedom.

In short, "Qiu Mo" will only fight for a very short time before running away immediately.

If Mingxian were to fall into a disadvantageous situation during this period, or even die in battle, then she would be completely free.

Conversely, Qiu Mo arranges her own free time, and if she wishes, she can continue to help Ming Xian in his battles.

Mingxian nodded slightly, looked at Luo Hao, and said, "There's one more thing I'd like to verify."

Luo Hao asked, "What are your orders, sir?"

Mingxian said softly, "I possess the [power] of Mithras, so I have a feeling that I have inherited the fate of Perseus in Greek mythology, that is, I have become the protagonist of the myth of 'the hero slaying the monster'."

"I suspect that the [Body as Contract] will automatically activate and subdue Aphrodite and Nemesis, which may be related to this."

"In other words, the god-slayer possesses the powers of the gods in Greek mythology, and there will be special changes in this [divine realm]."

"Perhaps, without realizing it, I have played the role of 'Perseus' in the mythological story."

"He has been given the destiny of 'killing the dragon and seizing the beauty'."

Upon hearing this, Luo Hao's gaze sharpened, and he put down his teacup, saying, "Does my lord wish to confirm whether our powers have changed in the [Divine Realm]?"

Mingxian said, "The other powers haven't changed much, but Mithras' power [This Body as Contract], which is confused with Perseus and Helios, is indeed quite different from that on Earth."

"Since that's the case, I'll use [A Dream of Yellow Millet] to verify it." Luo Hao instantly increased his spell power, and the surrounding feng shui and fortune completely changed. "Thinking of sons and good ministers, good ministers are indeed worthy of thought: going out to attack in the morning and not returning at night!"

In an instant, the feng shui of the entire city of Troy underwent a dramatic change.

The people on earth did not react, but the gods keenly sensed the change.

The three Fates, who were weaving, looked at the pattern appearing on the fabric. It was a pattern that should not have appeared; it was another "symbol" of abundance that should not have appeared in Greek mythology!

It is—the Black Sun.

……

Mount Olympus.

Zeus's expression was extremely unpleasant.

As the place closest to the heavens, time here differs from that on earth. At this moment, Zeus's face was grim as he gazed down at the earth, while Metis repeatedly reminded him—

You're about to be finished!

"This is trouble."

"Godslayers not only take away the powers of the gods, but also their duties and destiny in mythology."

"I didn't expect that there wasn't just one Godslayer on the ground, but three."

“These three god-killers took away the duties of Mithras, Saturn, and Phoebus respectively.”

"Phobos is alright, its duties are still in Ares' hands, but the other two, Mithras (Perseus) has the duty of 'killing the dragon and serpent and banishing the goddess to be her servant,' and the most troublesome is the duty of [Saturn]."

Luo Hao defeated Saturn, the Roman god of the earth and harvest, and usurped the power of the "Yellow Millet Dream".

It possesses the power of feng shui that enables the rapid development of civilization and technology among the surrounding humankind.

As long as the Godslayer is present, the surrounding streets will prosper, the land will surely yield a bountiful harvest, industry and commerce will develop greatly, the city's residents will become lucky, and public security will be stable. In strategy games, this is practically the ultimate cheat aura.

The activation of power requires a certain number of people, and it will rapidly decline as soon as the god-killer leaves.

For Zeus, the problem wasn't this power; even though it only took two months, Troy had already developed mechanical warships.

but.

Troy was a world that was planned to be destroyed.

All that's needed is to destroy Troy. Even if the Asgardians created ten thousand bronze giants, they would be easily destroyed by the gods.

What troubled Zeus was not Saturn's power, but Saturn's duties.

Saturn the Disobedient is a god who descended in the nineteenth century. His divine nature was influenced by the myths that circulated on Earth and he has merged with Uranus.

Just as Mithras is equal to Perseus.

Saturn is also equivalent to Cronus.

In Greek mythology, Cronus, the second-generation king of the gods, is the father of Zeus. Fearing that his children would overthrow him just as he had overthrown his father Uranus, he devoured all his children.

Zeus, being the youngest child, escaped the calamity and, thanks to a potion he obtained from Metis, managed to make Cronus vomit up his older brothers and sisters.

They are Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, and Poseidon.

Then, they threw Cronus out of the palace.

Zeus's brothers and sisters were grateful to him for saving their lives and unanimously made him their new king.

Zeus established a new divine government on Mount Olympus, redistributing power: the sea to Poseidon, the underworld to Hades, and keeping the sky for himself.

"The problem followed that, because of Cronus, Mount Olympus was attacked twice, and my throne was almost overthrown."

"The god-slayer who stole Saturn's duties and destiny has the power to initiate the myth of 'armed attack on Mount Olympus and overthrowing the rule of Zeus'."

Thinking of this, Zeus could no longer sit still.

The god-king with the title "Metis" constantly maintains his rule to ensure he is not overthrown. Now that he knows he may be overthrown again, he will naturally not be afraid to fight.

……

The palace of Troy, its buildings appearing exceptionally solemn in the afterglow of the setting sun.
