From the void, several gods walked out again, taking Sinis and several demigods away from here. Under Achilles' gaze, they disappeared into the void.
"Achilles, it seems that this time in the Cursed Land, you have gained a lot of benefits. In this short period of time, you have gained six strands of divinity."
After the collapsed void was repaired, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, turned her attention to Achilles. What was rare was that a smile appeared on her cold face. [com]
Seeing the smile on her face, Achilles felt a tingle in his heart. He quickly lowered his head and bowed his body, wanting to say something, but was interrupted by Athena.
"Don't tell anyone about what happened in the Cursed Land this time. Even your mother, don't say anything more. This will be good for you and her."
Although Achilles was not too clear about the deep meaning of her words, he still responded obediently: "Don't worry, Goddess of Wisdom, I know that I will never mention the Cursed Land to anyone."
Athena nodded slightly, and then continued: "Although the ancient palace was finally opened, it has nothing to do with you. For your achievements this time, the rewards promised to you will not be less."
"Now that you have ten rays of divinity, you can be considered a peak demigod. Tell me, what kind of reward do you want to get this time?"
Originally, they gave up on this mission and received many benefits. They never thought that they would be rewarded by the gods.
Now that the goddess of wisdom Athena spoke, she promised herself a benefit and let herself choose. For a moment, Achilles also hesitated.
He pinched his chin, hesitating in his heart. Athena opposite was not in a hurry. After a long time, a light flashed in his eyes, and he obviously thought of something good he wanted.
"Lord God, can you give me something that is similar to the sun above my head and can emit sunlight?"
The reason why he asked Athena for such a thing was because he thought of his own cave and wanted to get a sun for the cave.
Athena did not expect that Achilles would make such a request. Suddenly, she was stunned for a moment and looked at Achilles in confusion.
"Does this request of mine embarrass you, the Lord God? Let's forget it. This time I have also received great benefits deep in the grassland, and there is nothing more I want." Seeing that Athena did not Speaking directly, Achilles said quickly.
Athena shook her head and said slowly: "The sun god Apollo has quite a few artifacts that can emit sunlight. They are not too precious, but this artifact has no practical use."
After hearing what Athena said, Achilles felt happy and said, "I hope the Lord God will fulfill my wish. This kind of artifact will be of great use to me."
Seeing his insistence, Athena didn¡¯t say anything more. She nodded and said, ¡°Since you want it, I¡¯ll give it to you. I happen to have two such artifacts here, so I¡¯ll give you one.¡±
¡°Suddenly, golden light shone out from her slender jade hands, and the void rippled, revealing a palm-sized fiery red disk.
Athena waved her hand gently, and a golden divine light penetrated into Achilles' body. Achilles only felt that something was being pulled out of his body.
He turned his head and looked around, only to see a hazy strand of air floating out of his body, wrapped in the golden divine light, and flying into the fiery red disk in Athena's hand.
When this hazy wisp of air sank into the disc, his mind shook for a while, and then he had a connection with the disc.
Feeling the connection with the disk, Achilles was pleasantly surprised. He moved as he pleased, and the disk turned into a streak of fire, flew up from Athena's hand, and finally floated in front of his eyes.
"I don't know what material this disk is made of. It contains the fire of the sun. It is just an ordinary artifact with no offensive and defensive capabilities.
What Achilles wants is the fire of the sun. As for whether it has the ability to attack and defend, he doesn't think too much about it.
This artifact is absolutely perfect for making an artificial sun in the cave sky. With the artificial sun, the cave sky will be even more perfect.
"You are now a peak demigod. Ordinarily, a demigod like this should leave the mortal world. But you are special after all, so you should continue to stay in this mortal world for the time being. But you must remember,In a war between mortals, the power of law must not be used, let alone divinity. "
After Athena gave Achilles a few very solemn instructions, she led him through the void and returned to the city of Larissa, where she finally disappeared into the void.
Achilles' return did not alarm anyone. Even the guards in the palace did not notice his trace.
In the palace, bright sunlight shines through the dome above, driving away all the darkness. Sophia, wearing a white dress, is reading there with her head lowered.
Achilles quietly stepped into the palace, slowed down his steps, silently walked to Sophia, and gently smelled the fragrance on her hair.
He gently bent down, stretched out his arms, and hugged Sophia's soft body from behind. Suddenly someone hugged her from behind, and Sophia's body suddenly stiffened.
But soon she felt something again. Her tense body gradually relaxed, and her long hair rested on the broad chest behind her.
"I'm back" Like a little woman guarding an empty house, waiting for her husband to return, Sophia's face was full of tenderness.
Achilles lowered his head, burying his entire face in the golden hair, greedily sniffing the intoxicating fragrance.
"Yes, I finally completed the task entrusted by the gods." After more than a month apart, now we meet again, hugging this person who made people miss him as a child, all the messy thoughts in Achilles' mind, They were all thrown aside.
Sophia pressed her whole body tightly against Achilles's body and said softly: "Congratulations, you have received great benefits and entered the ranks of the peak demigods."
Seeing her reveal her current strength, Achilles stopped for a moment, then shook his head slightly, turned her around, and looked carefully at the beautiful face that made him think about it day and night.
"I feel like I can't see you clearly anymore"
Sophia looked at him, stretched out her hand to gently caress his cheek, and said softly: "I am standing next to you now, how can you not see my appearance clearly? "
Achilles reached out and grabbed the white jade hand, kissed it gently, and said: "In my eyes, you are like the moon in the water, the flowers in the fog, which I will never be able to see clearly."
Sophia bit her lower lip lightly, her beautiful eyes always flashing with gentle luster, shook her head, and said slowly: "The me now is the real me, without any cover-up, you You can¡¯t see me clearly just because you don¡¯t want to see me clearly.¡±
Achilles was silent for a moment, shook his head, stretched out his arms, picked up her delicate body, and strode towards the inside of the palace.
"No, it's still daylight now, just in case"
Being held in Achilles' arms, Sophia knew what he wanted to do. Her expression was full of worry. Before she could finish her words, she was already sealed by Achilles' big mouth.
Deep in the palace, waves of women's moans and the man's heavy breathing soon echoed, and they could not stop for a long time.
As the saying goes, a little farewell is better than a newlywed. Deep in the palace, this infatuated man and woman were naked, hugging each other tightly, and lingering until death.
More than half an hour later, when the palace became quiet again, after the passion, Achilles hugged Sophia's crimson body tightly and greedily sniffed the body fragrance on her body.
The fierce passion exhausted all Sophia's physical strength. She was lying in Achilles's arms, panting slightly, looking extremely seductive.
"Sophia, what secrets are there in the Cursed Land that are unknown to everyone?" Achilles hugged Sophia and asked.
Sophia seemed to have expected that he would ask herself this question. A smile appeared on her slightly tired face, she put her hands on the ground and sat up.
After briefly arranging the somewhat messy long hair, he responded slowly: "You went to the Cursed Land this time. I guess you found a lot of things there, many things that do not belong to our Greek world."
Achilles nodded, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Yes, what was the battle of the gods that year? There were probably not a thousand, but more than nine hundred gods who fell there. , just for some beliefs, I feel that such a tragic battle between gods is impossible."
Sophia reached out and pulled the two robes over and put them on herself and Achilles respectively. Then she leaned against Achilles' chest and then continued:?: "From the distant times, the gods of our world have had many great divine wars with the gods of several worlds. The reason why so many divine wars have occurred is because of something related to the gods. It¡¯s something that rises and falls.¡±
"And the invasion of the barbarian gods back then was precisely because they wanted to snatch that thing from the gods of Mount Olympus. Not only the barbarian gods, but also the heirs of the giants in the west participated in the war."
Hearing what she said, Achilles was shocked and thought of an extremely famous pantheon, the legendary pantheon that dominated the European world, the Odin pantheon in Eastern Europe, the one with gods, world trees, elves, A mythical system of dwarves, gnomes, dragons, and other beautiful or evil creatures.
