Chapter 441 Ilonos!
Chapter 441 Ilonos!
Soon, Athena, not to be outdone, said to Zeus, "I am your dearest daughter, the source of wisdom."
"I rely not on blood and passion, but on thought and the sword."
"I am the guardian of the city-state, the embodiment of wisdom, the shadow of justice and victory. If beauty is the combination of glory and balance, and if the gods are rational rather than emotional, then, Father Zeus, the answer is already in your heart!"
Aphrodite frowned and walked forward slowly, her pleasant voice echoing, "You have royal power and weapons, but I only have a heartbeat. Love is the wind, the water, and the moment when all things' hearts beat. If the most beautiful name does not belong to me, then why does this world desire to be touched, burned, and cuddled?"
"So Zeus, the most beautiful goddess, should be me!"
Listening to the words of the three goddesses, the gods discussed a lot.
"What they said makes a lot of sense!"
"It's so difficult, I don't know who to choose!"
"Well, if it weren't for the fact that this golden apple is engraved with the inscription dedicated to the most beautiful goddess, the most beautiful one would definitely be His Majesty Ilonus!"
"Well, that seems to be true..."
As they discussed, they talked about Ilonus, and all agreed that Ilonus was the most beautiful among the gods.
Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite, who appeared indifferent but were actually eavesdropping on the gods' conversation, looked froze. But even they had to admit that Ilonus was indeed the best-looking one.
But fortunately, this golden apple is given to the most beautiful goddess!
Aphrodite and the other two breathed a sigh of relief.
Ignoring the discussions of the gods, they turned their eyes to Zeus, the king of gods.
Feeling their gazes, Zeus suddenly felt a headache.
So, He also shifted the conflict, and His serious voice echoed, "This matter should not be judged by me, and it is not suitable for the gods to judge. I think it should be chosen by mortals. Let the fate of this fruit be witnessed by mortals."
Listening to Zeus' words, both the gods and Hera thought that this was a good suggestion.
Just as they were discussing which mortal would make the judgement.
Underworld.
Looking at all this, Su Xing couldn't help but shook his head, speechless.
I can only say that Athena and the others are really bored.
Of course, it may also be because Hera cares about the identity and majesty of the queen of heaven, Aphrodite is the embodiment of beauty, and denying beauty is denying herself, and Athena cares about glory and victory, so the three of them care so much about the title of the most beautiful goddess.
Of course, it is also possible that they are competing for power and respect, and for the crown of the first goddess of the gods.
In Greek mythology, apples symbolize divinity, eternity, and grace.
This golden apple, which may have been the equivalent of a sacred medal, was a public recognition of who was the true Supreme Goddess.
Of course, no matter which point, Su Xing felt that they were a little too boring.
Moreover, the incident of the golden apple was also the beginning of the Trojan War, and their fight spread to the earth.
Thinking of the Trojan War, Su Xing couldn't help but think of the prophecy about Ares.
When he first became the main god, he told Ares that in the future, in a war called Troy, he would be stabbed by a mortal hero.
Although, it was because of Athena's divine power and guidance, coupled with Ares' carelessness, that he was stabbed.
But no matter what, this was an extremely humiliating thing for Ares.
It is already a shameful thing for an ordinary god to be stabbed by a mortal, let alone Him who is the main god and has great divine power.
At that time, when this prophecy was made, Zeus and others were shocked and surprised, while Ares did not believe it at all and thought it was nonsense.
Su Xing was a little curious about Ares' expression when he encountered this scene shortly afterwards.
Thinking of this, He turned his gaze back to Mount Olympus.
He saw that Zeus and his men had chosen a shepherd named Paris.
Wake up thoughtfully.
Paris was originally a prince of Troy. He was abandoned in the mountains when he was young and raised by shepherds.
As for why he was abandoned, it was because there was a prophecy about him since he was born that he would bring destruction to Troy.
And this Paris was known as the most beautiful among the shepherds, and was said to be good at distinguishing beauty.
So, Zeus chose this shepherd as the judge.
Under his gaze, Zeus ordered Hermes to take Hera and others to find Paris.
As time went by, he saw Hera and others bribing Paris.
Hera promised, "Choose me, Paris, and I will grant you the right to rule and make you the king of all mankind. All of Asia will prostrate itself at your feet, and the power of all nations will be in your hands!"
Asia, the entire vast eastern land, covers Troy, Lydia, Persia, etc.
What Hera promised was absolute political and military power, to become the king among kings, the most powerful monarch in the world! She was the Queen of Heaven, sharing half of Zeus' power, and she represented royal power and order, so she could naturally make such a promise.
Athena was not to be outdone and promised, "Paris, if you choose me as the most beautiful, I will grant you supreme wisdom and war skills!"
"You are invincible on the battlefield, and you will win any war. Armies of all nations will be moved by your words and succumb to your tactics!"
Aphrodite smiled and said, "Paris, if you give me the golden apple, I will give you the most beautiful woman in the world, Helen!"
"She will love you, follow you, abandon her husband and country for you. You will have the most perfect love. No god and no one can take her away from you!"
Faced with the temptations of the three goddesses, the final answer was not beyond Su Xing's expectations.
Paris hesitated for a moment, then said with a burning look in his eyes, "I don't desire the throne, nor do I desire war, but I long to embrace love, so I decided to give the golden apple to Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty!"
Aphrodite was overjoyed when she heard this, and glanced at Athena and Hera with satisfaction.
Hera and Athena looked unhappy.
As for Paris, his face was full of joy and anticipation, looking forward to marrying the most beautiful woman, Helen.
pity……
Su Xing, who was observing secretly, couldn't help but shook his head.
It was because of the choice Paris made today that Troy was destroyed.
That so-called prophecy has come true.
After all, Paris had severely offended Hera and Athena.
The petty-minded Hera launched the Greek coalition to attack Troy, while Athena guided human heroes such as Odysseus, Achilles, and Diomedes to participate in the war.
As for Aphrodite, she protected Paris and Troy.
"It just so happens that I still have no idea how to create this authority. It will take quite some time for the omniscience authority to be born. I just happened to take a look at the Trojan War."
Su Xing thought about it with interest.
Of course, He mainly wanted to see what expression would be on Ares' face after being stabbed by a mortal.
Under His gaze, time passed continuously, and soon ten years had passed.
Paris went to Sparta, secretly took Helen away from Sparta, sailed across the Aegean Sea, and finally returned to Troy.
This situation was learned by Menelaos, the king of Sparta and Helen's husband, which naturally caused Menelaos to become furious.
Not only was he deeply in love with Helen, he was also the king of Sparta.
Paris took Helen away from the palace, which was an insult to him both emotionally and as a king.
He joined forces with his brother Agamemnon, summoned the kings of various countries, and launched a war of revenge against Troy.
The fuse of war was thus lit.
Su Xing saw the war begin and also saw the death of many famous human heroes.
In particular, he saw a human hero named Diomedes throwing a spear, which, guided by Athena, pierced Ares' armor and directly stabbed him.
This scene was seen by many Trojans and Greek soldiers.
Seeing this scene, they were shocked, including Diomedes who threw the spear and Ares who was stabbed by the spear.
The battlefield between Troy and the Greek army.
Ares let out a howl and roar that shook the entire battlefield, and countless mortals covered their ears in pain.
Ares looked down in shock and disbelief, looking at the wounds he had been stabbed by a mortal.
This is a huge shame and humiliation for Him!
A mortal, a fellow who is no better than an ant, actually stabbed Him!
He is a god!
How is it possible and how could such a thing happen!
Ares was furious, angry and indignant at the injustice of fate to him.
Suddenly, he thought of something, his expression froze, and he couldn't help but let out a roar.
"Ilonos!"
The sound was deafening.
This god's name instantly echoed throughout the entire Trojan battlefield, startling countless Trojans and Greek soldiers.
Ilonus?
The Lord of Ilonus?
Why did the god of war Ares suddenly call out the name of the main god Ilonus after being stabbed by Diomedes?
Countless mortals were surprised and puzzled. Athena in the distance and Hera and other gods in the dark were also startled and suddenly remembered something.
