Chapter 474: Prophecy from the Lord God of Ilonus
Chapter 474: Prophecy from the Lord God of Ilonus
Looking at Socrates and others who were frightened and begging below, Su Xing's eyes were thoughtful.
After hesitating for a while, He finally spoke out a cryptic prophecy.
Socrates and others only heard mysterious poetry in their ears, which seemed to predict and witness the future outcome of Greece.
"Listen carefully, sons of Helios."
"A people who once drank with gods and slept with poetry."
"Your city-states will fall like broken gold."
"The wind will carry your names away."
"Just as the sea carried away the ashes of Troy."
"The First Flame came from the North, riding on a wild steed."
"He is the descendant of the One-Eyed Man, a hybrid of a wolf and an eagle."
"He will not name the gods."
"But with the spears of your gods I will break your shields."
"The Second Flame rises from the West, clothed in a cloak of iron and order."
“They offer no sacrifices, they chant no songs, but they forge their paths like miracles.”
"They set up court in your theater."
"Carve the mark of the eagle on your temple."
"The Aegean will no longer respond to organs and songs."
"The golden image of Zeus will be melted down for weapons."
"Athena's shield will be wielded by others."
"The fire of Delphi will cool from the altar."
"On that day, the gods will no longer speak."
“The poet keeps silent, and the priest flees.”
"You will forget whose people you once were."
"Laws come from the Latin tongue, not from the breast of God."
“But I say, this is not the end.”
"Beneath the broken marble, the seeds are buried."
"If the wind blows over Helicon again."
"The former glory will awaken from the ruins and be known by the world..."
Socrates and the others were in a trance as they listened to the mysterious prophetic poetry floating in the wind from above.
They seemed to see men named Philip and Alexander, leading their armies to conquer many of their Greek city-states, and the rise of a mysterious Roman Empire.
Their Greek civilization will be conquered and rewritten...
All this terrified them, but because the prophecy in the poem was too obscure, they did not know the more specific situation for a while.
Fortunately, in the last paragraph of the prophetic poem, it seems that they Greece still have the seeds of civilization left?
Perhaps, one day in the future, everything about them, including philosophy and art, will be revived?
At this moment, the prophetic poem of the main god Ilonus was deeply engraved in their minds.
In fact, not only them, but also the high priest Anos who hurried over and many people in Athens, all heard the prophetic poem to some extent, and there was panic in their eyes.
In the silence, below.
Official Anytus could not help but pray, "Great Lord Ilonus, please use your divine power to destroy the people, army, and empire that dared to offend us Greeks!"
"With your divine power, Lord Ilonus, you will definitely be able to destroy them!"
As soon as these words were spoken, hope appeared in the eyes of many Greeks and the chief priest Anos below.
Even Socrates, Plato and others did not want Greece to disappear. They all had anticipation in their eyes, hoping that the god Ilonus would destroy the future enemy.
They also believed that with the power of Lord Ilonus, this could be easily accomplished.
However, the divine voice coming from above their heads made them feel despair.
"Greece cannot exist forever, and I cannot protect you forever." Su Xing said lightly.
Obviously, Lord Ilonus refused.
Emotions such as unwillingness and despair appeared in the hearts of Anytus and others.
Looking at the people below who looked sad and fearful of the future demise of Greece, Su Xing shook his head and hesitated. He thought that he was one of the main gods of Greece, and it seemed a bit bad to just watch them perish.
However, it would be unfair to Alexander and his people if we intervened rashly.
After thinking about it, he, who was a little biased, spoke out a prophecy.
Su Xing said with sympathy, "The many believers who believe in the Olympian gods."
"When the stars shine in the future, those who have perished will no longer be dead. They will be resurrected. I will resurrect all the believers of the Olympian gods who have disappeared in time..."
"So, you don't have to fear death. At some point in the future, I will wake you up from your deep sleep..."
Su Xing thought, if he could really become a great divine power, he would resurrect them at the same time.
As for what the people and gods across the interstellar space will think at that time, He doesn't care too much.
Just as He was thinking, He casually said this thing that He could easily do.
Hearing the words of the Lord Ilonus above, Socrates and others below were shocked.
At this moment, the official Anytus, the chief priest Anos, and many people from the Athenian city-state no longer had fear and hesitation in their eyes, but were replaced by expectation and enthusiasm.
No longer even afraid of death!
“Is this the great power of the Lord God?”
"Oh, gods!"
Although epics such as the Theogony had long described Ilonus as the god of life, soul, and reincarnation, resurrecting all the dead Greeks was still too unbelievable.
Of course, all of this is just their guess at the moment. So far, they do not have an accurate answer as to who the god in front of them is.
So, amidst the praises and exclamations.
The chief priest Anos couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness Lord Ilonus, is that you?"
"Except for you, Your Highness, I can't think of anyone else with such great power..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene suddenly became quiet and everyone pricked up their ears.
The next second, they heard the answer.
"Yes."
Listening to the answer from above, Socrates and others were in ups and downs.
Previously, they had vaguely guessed the identity of the person before them from the images of gods described in epics such as the Theogony, but they were still not quite sure.
At this moment, after getting the confirmation, they were shocked.
It really is the Lord Ilonus!
At this time, the kneeling high priest Anos hesitated for a moment, and could not help but ask a question that he had always wanted to ask and that had troubled all of them.
"Your Majesty Lord Ilonus, why can't we connect with the gods no matter whether we offer sacrifices, pray or sing hymns?" said the chief priest Anos.
This is also the reason why he had always doubted the existence of Lord Ilonus and the gods.
When this question was asked, everyone was shocked.
Socrates' eyes were particularly complicated.
If the Olympian gods had shown signs before, no matter how bold he was, he would not dare to disbelieve in them.
above.
Looking at Socrates and others below with puzzled faces, Su Xing fell into deep thought.
It was because he was unsure whether the Greek gods existed in ancient Greece that he came here in person.
Because he wanted to watch the trial of the philosopher Socrates, he has not yet carefully sensed whether the Greek gods actually exist.
So, now I can feel it carefully.
boom!
The dazzling rays of the sun were released from His body, and terrifying divine power was released in an instant.
In an instant, it spread throughout Athens and all of Greece...
Persia, Libya, Egypt...
Soon, the land and the ocean were covered by divine power!
At this moment, the entire Greece outside the city of Athens, and even all the human beings in all countries on earth, could not help but feel shocked and horrified, not understanding what was happening.
The city of Athens.
Feeling the divine power coming from above their heads, Socrates and the others trembled in shock.
