Suddenly, the sky changed drastically. The alluring sky and earth at night disappeared, and were replaced by a sky full of stars. It made people feel like they were in outer space, and the stars were so close. But compared to the outer space, these stars must be so small.
The moon goddess Selene used her divine power to drive the divine chariot, and she tried every means, but she just couldn't seem to leave this star chart.
"Moon Goddess, there is no need to try again. Once you enter this star scroll, you cannot get out."
Selene heard the sound and looked forward. In the starry sky, several familiar gods came walking, including Apollo, the god of light, Artemis, the goddess of hunting, Adros, the god of road and direction, and the Divine Court of Stars. Hecate, the Lord of the Big Dipper, and her sister, the deceitful goddess Apata, whose true identity is unknown to the gods.
"It's you, what do you want to do by bringing me here?"
Although she was very confused in her heart, why did Hecate, who had already taken refuge in the Court of Stars, still stay with the three siblings. However, she was more concerned about the situation in front of her. One moment she was riding the moon in the sky, and the next moment she was in this weird space and couldn't get out.
Adros looked at the beautiful goddess in front of him and said calmly: "Nothing, it's just that Sister Artemis still lacks a priesthood, and you, the Moon Goddess, are just right. So we invited you, the Moon Goddess, to work with you. You can discuss how to hand over the position of Moon Goddess to Sister Artemis."
When he said these words, Adros seemed to be talking about a trivial matter. His tone and content made Selene very angry, and she shouted angrily: "You have a bad idea. My position as the Moon God was personally granted by His Majesty the King of Gods. How could I hand it over to you?"
Adros waved his hand: "That doesn't matter. The moon god we need is the moon god of the Star Palace. It has nothing to do with Olympus or Zeus."
When Selene heard this, her expression changed drastically. Judging from what Adros said, it was possible that all of them had defected to the Lord of the Stars. Then, she thought about the space she was in, which was filled with stars. Apart from the mysterious Lord of the Stars, who else would have such a treasure
Not wanting to talk to Selene anymore, Adros and the others started to take action. With the help of thousands of stars, they quickly captured Selene.
"If I die, not only will my parents notice it immediately, but even Olympus will know about it. Do you think that everything you do can escape the eyes of all the gods? You must know the difference between heaven and earth. Among them, there are several masters."
Adros smiled: "Don't worry, you won't die for the time being. Before Sister Artemis takes control of the moon, you will live well and provide her with the power and laws of the Moon God."
After successfully knocking Selene out, Adros said to Hecate: "Hecate, from now on you will pretend to be Selene and drive this moon carriage."
"Don't worry, I am the Lord of the Dark Moon. I have a close priesthood and the help of the deception belt. If the Lord doesn't check it in person, no one will find anything unusual." Hecate said this, and suddenly remembered something again, with a malicious look. He said with a kind smile: "This way, Pandora's disciple can no longer rely on the deception belt to deceive her second husband. Didn't you promise Pandora that you would not let her disciple lose his virginity?"
Adros smiled slightly: "You don't have to worry about that. Helen, that girl, doesn't need a deception belt anymore to deceive her."
"It seems that Helen's magic talent is really good. After this matter is settled, I decided to teach her myself for a while."
Afterwards, Hecate drove the moon carriage out of the Star Scroll, while Artemis took the unconscious Selene to live in the full moon and began to seize Selene's role as the moon god.
When Artemis was first born, there were visions corresponding to the stars and the moon. She already had the power to use the laws related to the moon, so there was no big obstacle to seizing the priesthood.
In the eyes of all living beings, this night's Yueyue seemed to hide in the dark clouds for a while, and then came out again, still as beautiful as ever.
The moon has been solved, but the sun is not so easy to solve. Although the moon is unpredictable, its divine power is extremely docile. In addition, they chose the time to attack during the new moon. Most of the full moon contains divine power that is not exposed to the outside world. This part cannot be seen in the human world. The sun was different. The power of the sun was extremely violent. He didn't dare to put that big fireball into his artifact at will.
Adros and Apollo began to plan how to seize the priesthood of the Sun God. In the end, they discovered that there was only one way to seize the throne from the powerful Sun God Helios, and that was to directly kill Helios. Russian beheaded.
However, one can imagine how difficult it is to kill such a powerful main god in front of the gods of heaven and earth. Even if they take action, someone will definitely come to stop them. After all, this sun god seems to be from the same faction as them.
······
The Greek coalition set off again, and the journey was calm and no more terrifying waves were encountered.
When the army passed by the island of Chrysae next to Lemnos, the prophet stood up and told everyone that this was the island dedicated to Apollo and the only temple of Apollo, the god of light, in the sea. Everyone must make sacrifices to Apollo in order to successfully attack the city.
This unreasonable request for sacrifice made Achilles very unhappy. Before setting off, a lovely girl was sacrificed to Apollo's sister, who didn't know whether she would live or die. Now that they have to sacrifice to Apollo again, do they need to find a girl before they can set off
But Agamemnon, the leader of the army and the king of kings, did not listen to Achilles's advice. He did not want the war to fail for any reason, and decided to listen to the words of the prophet.
Among the heroes and kings, only Hercules' friend Philoctetes, who had obtained the bow and arrows of the world's greatest hero, knew the location of the altar. Philoctetes is known as the best marksman in the world after Hercules. His bow and arrows are feared by all demigod heroes. And the arrows he got were extracted with snake venom by Heracles, enough to hurt the gods.
Leaving the soldiers on the ship, all the heroes followed Philoctetes to the altar to offer sacrifices. This time it was just an ordinary sacrifice and no need to offer anything.
During the sacrifice, a big snake sprang out and bit Philoctetes' foot. The snake's venom caused severe pain to Philoctetes' feet and the stench made people not want to get close to him.
Also at the time of the sacrifice, Agamemnon asked the priest Chryses what the outcome of their campaign would be. As for the priestess Chryses, she knew very well that her main god Apollo was on the side of Troy, so she said coldly: "This is a wrong campaign, and failure is its only outcome."
Agamemnon was furious. Before setting off, he spent a lot of time convincing the heroes that their expedition was correct and represented justice. Even the name of their coalition was called the Greek Coalition.
With the priestess's answer, didn't this mean that he was telling the heroes that everything he said before was wrong
Agamemnon asked the priestess to change her story, but the priestess ignored him. So, the furious King of Mycenae, before leaving, captured Chryseis, the daughter of the priestess Chryses, and another young and pretty priestess Briseis. . Moreover, he generously gave Chryseis to Achilles as compensation for his failure to marry his daughter.
The prophet originally wanted to stop it, but when he saw that all the heroes were filled with indignation towards the priestess of Apollo and wanted to kill her directly, he shut his mouth.
As Odysseus watched this scene happen, he couldn't help but worry about his new friend Achilles. That powerful god would definitely take revenge. It's just that he understood Achilles' impulsive character and decided to wait until no one was around before trying to persuade him to avoid bad consequences.
After setting off again, Philoctetes was in severe pain due to the wound bitten by a poisonous snake, and he never got better. The heroes discussed his situation, and finally Odysseus suggested abandoning him to the island of Lemlos. On the coast, so as not to delay everyone’s itinerary.
When Philoctetes was asleep on the boat, the leaders placed him between two rocks on the island, left him with a bow, arrows, clothing and food, and let him recover on this island. But because Troy could not be captured without him, the Greek coalition had to invite him back in the tenth year of the siege.
The Allied troops who had crossed the ocean finally arrived at the coast of Troy. When they saw the city of Troy visible in the distance, both heroic kings and ordinary soldiers cheered. Although on the coast, Trojan heroes and soldiers were waiting for their arrival.
Amidst the cheers, the prophet suddenly warned: "I have noticed that whoever sets foot on the shores of Troy first will become the first hero to die."
As he spoke, he looked at Odysseus. This wise man who had been convinced by all the heroes had become a military advisor among the Greek coalition forces.
Odysseus sneered. Although he didn't understand why the prophet Calchas had been targeting him, he also had an idea in his mind to solve this problem. It doesn't matter who will die, as long as it's not Achilles or him.
Odysseus stood up and said loudly to all the warriors: "Heroes and warriors, the city of Troy is right in front of you. It's time to go out and kill the enemy and establish achievements that will be remembered by future generations. Everyone, follow me and rush over. , to show the Trojans how terrible the anger of the Greeks is.”
After speaking, he threw the shield in his hand onto the shore of Troy, then stood up and jumped with his feet on the shield.
When the other heroes saw that Odysseus was fearless, they were the first to rush out and quickly followed him. But when they rushed out, they didn't notice this detail.
The hero Protesilaos, eager to establish military glory, did not notice Odysseus's trick and immediately jumped ashore to kill the enemy. The Trojan hero Hector ended his life with a flying spear.
As a result, this hero of unknown origin became the first casualty in this war of conferring gods. However, the deceased here cannot get any benefits. He can only go to the underworld to face trial.
Taratona, the God of Death, who has successfully broken through to become the main god, has already put on his cloak and is waiting with a sickle. This is a feast of death.
