I impersonated God in America

The sudden thunderclap startled everyone, and an ominous premonition welled up in their hearts.

The next moment...

Almost without warning, the sky above the temple, with its churning clouds, was instantly stained in ink.

The appearance of the dense clouds was without any transition.

The last remaining sunlight was swallowed up in an instant.

Boom!

Lightning began to flash in the clouds.

Tick.

rain.

It landed.

Seeing this scene, the crowd who were still looking forward to the Olympic flame felt their hearts stop, and the data that followed made the analysts in the back stand up.

"Fxxk! What's going on?! The cloud thickness has increased from zero to above zero in just a few seconds. This cloud is definitely not normal."

"what is that?"

"It looks like someone is pulling the strings behind the scenes."

The intelligence officer stared at the increasingly thick and churning dark clouds above the temple, then suddenly tapped his finger lightly on the table, his voice carrying a hint of coldness.

"I suddenly think I've got a clue. Could it be our Sea God?"

"After all, there aren't many gods in mythology who are associated with controlling rain, are there?"

Everyone turned to look at him.

"Makes sense."

"But what is the purpose of the Sea God doing this? It can't just be because he has nothing better to do, can it?"

"Daring! Beware of the ocean's curse! Seaweed entanglement warning!"

"I have a feeling that this incident is related to the goddess Athena."

"But Athena has no connection to Crete, does she?"

"Let me share my opinion. Legend has it that the bull on Crete was bestowed upon it by the sea god himself, which means that this minotaur is also related to the sea god."

"He is demonstrating."

"In the original mythology, didn't this person also appear and target the Kingdom of Crete?"

"But isn't it a bit much for Lord Poseidon to directly target the temple..."

"After all, he is the Sea God."

"Such a powerful reason, impossible to refute."

A heavy silence fell over the conference room.

The simple phrase "After all, he is the Sea God" left no room for doubt.

It's like in Greek mythology, if a hero were to appear one day.

The mother hesitated and was unwilling to reveal her biological father.

Then everyone will automatically start to guess that the other person is Zeus's son.

All I can say is that this is what reputation is all about.

Just when the atmosphere was at its most oppressive.

At the same time, the temple priestess trembled as she looked up at the sky, her face showing visible fear.

Dark clouds hung low, thunder rumbled deep within the clouds, and only a small, flickering clump of flame remained on the ground.

She held the olive branch tightly.

“Elijas…” her voice trembled, “It seems we… have gotten involved in something we shouldn’t have.”

After all, as a member of the temple, she was very familiar with the content of Greek mythology.

The moment the eerie dark clouds appeared.

She achieved a remarkable 0.01 seconds in the game of guessing who was playing the trick.

rain.

In just a moment, the rain intensified rapidly.

Splash!

The rain lashed down on the temple's pillars, on the concave mirror that had never been extinguished for a thousand years, and on the small cluster of flame in her hand.

In the video footage, rainwater streamed down her soaked white robe, yet she maintained the pose of holding up an olive branch.

But the flame had already been extinguished.

------------

Seeing the rain, everyone's faces turned grim, as Crete desperately needed the Olympic flame.

The sudden downpour shattered their Olympic torch dream.

In the Ministry of National Defense conference room, someone sighed softly: "It's too late. By the time the rain stops, it will be too late."

"In that case, is our only option to apply for international assistance?"

"But if that's the case... well, it seems like this is the only way."

"Wait, look! What are these lights?"

On the edge of the screen, a point of light appeared in a house on the east side of the temple.

The light slowly floated upwards in mid-air.

Then the second light spot lit up, the third, the fourth... and countless more.

Those were specks of light drifting from the windows of countless ordinary homes around the temple.

As a result, windows in thousands of homes were opened one by one, and everyone looked up at the sky with surprised eyes, clearly having discovered the strangeness in their homes.

"Mom, what's that? Could it be a firefly?"

"The stove in the house... Could it be?!"

There was no sound, no commotion.

Countless lights, as if drawn by an unseen wind, converged in the same direction.

They pierced through the rain, and the rain did not extinguish them; instead, it made them burn even brighter.

The points of light grew more numerous and denser, converging into a reverse-flowing river of light that surged towards the center of the temple from all directions.

Karina stood there in the rain, watching the points of light cross the pillars and converge on the extinguished, soaked olive branch in her hand.

raging!

The olive branch was reignited.

A cluster of sacred white flames ignited amidst the rain.

The raindrops hitting the flames only created tiny ripples.

It burned quietly like that.

Feeling the flame in front of her, Karena felt an immense warmth.

In an instant, she realized the reason.

She turned her head toward the temple and looked at the statue of the gentle-faced goddess.

One of the twelve Olympian gods, the goddess of the hearth, the protector of the home, and the eldest of Zeus's six siblings.

"Lady Hestia...is that you?"

--------------

"There's no mistake!"

In the Ministry of National Defense conference room, everyone stood up trembling, already guessing which deity had intervened again.

After all, the answer is obvious, given the flames that originated from the stoves of countless households and the legendary origins of the sacred fire.

Although fire was stolen from the gods by Prometheus, in reality, the ancient Greeks set up sacred fire altars in their homes and important places to worship Hestia, the goddess of the hearth and household.

The next moment, they saw that the small clump of sacred flame instantly become even more intense, burning into the sky as if as a warning.

Splash!

Tick.

The sky, which had been covered with dark clouds just moments before, suddenly cleared up as if a mouse had seen a cat, and the wind and rain stopped.

After the dark clouds dispersed, the sunlight shone on Karina's face, giving her a sacred look.

"Is this what elder sister's authority is like?"

thump!

"Quickly! Go and take the Olympic flame to Crete!"

The Minister of Defense stood up instantly, his chair falling to the ground, but he didn't seem to care. He simply spoke with extreme excitement as he quickly issued the order.

God knows how much fear he endured during that time.

Now?

Lady Hestia has arrived! And now, the Greek heavens are clear!

"Oh, right! There's one more thing. Go quickly and transfer money to the temple! Increase the amount we agreed on tenfold!"

"Ten times? Sir, is that...?"

"Idiot, as long as it's confirmed that Greece has divine protection, those rich people will go crazy investing here!"

"It feels like next year's Olympics are going to be really exciting..."

"Contact the media and get a live broadcast across all channels right now! Make sure the whole world knows what's going on!"

"We must not miss this opportunity to demonstrate our relationship. Even if Hestia never appears again after this, our international environment will improve!"

"We Greeks finally have a powerful ally to rely on!"

Chapter 123 Dual Awakening

The sky above Crete.

"These two guys are monsters. Do they have inexhaustible stamina?"

The Wenban hovered at a height of 500 meters, slightly adjusting the angle of its wings to stabilize its body.

The number of viewers in his live stream is increasing at a visible rate.

I remember this "thread man" wasn't even in the top three of paranormal reports, right?

[Leaving aside other things, the Sirens, who were comparable to the Minos in Greek mythology, were scared away by the American Minister of Extraordinary Countermeasures with just a snap of his fingers. I won't go into details; you can judge for yourselves.]

Unfortunately, the other party has an important responsibility and needs to command from the rear...

[I checked the IPs above, and they're all from the United States. Is this a coordinated effort to promote their own company, Superman?]

[Guys, check out the live stream page! It looks like the Greek officials brought the sacred flame from the temple?!]

[Easy to verify authenticity, proven to be purely genuine]

I knew Greece had the goods; looks like they're not hiding them anymore.

Just as Wen Ban was about to comment on the battle below, he caught a glimpse of the last comment on the screen.

He paused for a moment, then quickly opened the notification on the secondary screen, his eyes widening instantly.

"It's an official logo, and it's actually real!"

"And if I'm not mistaken, the sacred flame that appeared in the replay just now, could it be the legendary goddess Hestia behind it?"

The live chat exploded instantly.
