Chapter 312: Defeat Zeus and Poseidon Again

Although the worship of gods headed by the twelve main gods of Olympus is a kind of polytheistic worship, the worship of gods with Zeus as the core protagonist is essentially the worship of one god, turning all other gods into subordinate gods of Zeus. .

It eventually evolved into the polytheistic worship of Olympus, not because Zeus did not want to eliminate other gods, but because the Mycenaeans were unable to conquer city-states that worshiped other gods.

In other words, all city-state patron gods are essentially worshiping one god.

Restricted by backward technology, city-states in the Bronze Age were unable to establish a unified centralized empire. They could only allow their own patron saints to coexist with the patron saints of other city-states, forming polytheistic worship throughout the region.

In real history, with the development of civilization and technology, powerful city-states were able to conquer areas thousands of miles away through land and sea, and highly centralized empires were born. The worship of one god replaced the worship of multiple gods and entered the stage of history.

In the process of the development of human civilization, due to the limitations of civilization and technology, the end point of the development of monotheistic worship of the patron saint of city-states was the worship of polytheism.

The birth of polytheistic worship can also reflect the birth of a loose kingdom in the form of a city-state alliance in a region.

After the rapid development of human civilization and technology, the end point of the development of polytheistic worship is the worship of one god.

Eastern civilization entered the era of unified empires, and the rulers implemented the policy of deposing hundreds of schools of thought and only respecting Confucianism. This was an alternative form of polytheistic worship to monotheistic worship.

The real purpose of the Western Roman Empire in abolishing polytheistic worship and replacing it with monotheistic worship was probably to use monotheistic worship to unify the thoughts of various regions.

After all, only by burning books and humiliating Confucian scholars in the same way can we integrate the vast territory of millions of miles into a country.

If different gods were worshiped in different regions and different doctrines were popular in the empire's vast territory of millions of miles, the empire would be just a loose empire in the form of a city-state alliance.

As long as the first ruler dies, the huge empire will fall apart.

The Great Qin Empire II died, and Alexander died and the territories were divided. A very important reason is that the Great Qin Empire and the Alexander Empire did not achieve ideological unity. The survivors of the Six Kingdoms missed their homeland, and each region of the Alexander Empire went their own way.

Luo Yin is contrary to Zeus who promotes the worship of one god. Even if Luo Yin drives away Ares, he does not let himself replace Ares, but supports the local goddess to become the patron saint.

Compared with Zeus, Luo Yin is obviously a good man who treats the goddess gently.

Seeing Hestia change the target of attack to Amphitrite, and Hecate also change the target of attack to Enyo, Luo Yin said with a serious expression.

"Zeus! I don't want the goddesses to get hurt fighting over me, so let's fight quickly!"

After saying that, Luo Yin swung the divine spear with all his strength to attack Zeus.

A loud bang!

Zeus held up the golden trident with both hands to block Luo Yin's attack, and then because he could not resist Luo Yin's divine power, his body involuntarily retreated step by step.

Seeing Zeus being suppressed by his own divine power, Luo Yin opened his mouth and spit out a stream of solar fire.

Poseidon's head on Zeus's shoulder immediately opened its mouth and spewed out endless magical sea water, trying to extinguish Luo Yin's sun fire.

But Luo Yin's divine power was far superior to that of Zeus. The fire of the sun that Luo Yin sprayed evaporated the sea water while approaching Poseidon's head.

In the blink of an eye, the sun's fire enveloped Poseidon's head. Poseidon's head couldn't bear the burning of the sun's fire, and he screamed in pain.

"Hateful Pentheus——

Although losing to Luo Yin was an expected result, Zeus still showed an extremely angry expression when he felt Poseidon's pain.

"The pain you have caused me now, I will definitely retaliate tenfold and a hundredfold in the future."

After speaking angrily, Zeus stopped confronting Luo Yin, turned around and fled into the endless Aegean Sea.

After Zeus left, Hestia and Hecate, who were fighting Amphitrite and Enio, immediately stopped moving and looked at Luo Yin with complicated eyes.

"Honey!"

Amphitrite came to Luo Yin and said.

"Now that Zeus has escaped, let's strike while the iron is hot and occupy the city of Mycenae and destroy the temple of Zeus in Mycenae!"

After Luo Yin nodded in agreement, Enni'er asked Luo Yin.

"The city of Mycenae has been developed by the Mycenaeans into the most powerful city-state in the Peloponnese. Will you replace Zeus next, or return the city of Mycenae to Hestia?"

"Of course I want to return Mycenae to Hestia."

Luo Yin said without hesitation.

"I believe that Hestia is also my woman. Letting her sit on the throne of the patron saint of Argos again is no different from ruling the city of Mycenae myself."

"Who is your woman!"

Hestia said dissatisfiedly after hearing Luo Yin's words.

"I am a virgin goddess. Even Zeus has not violated my final dignity as a goddess. Are you more hateful than Zeus?"

"Well--"

Luo Yin turned his head and asked Amphitrite.

"Amphitrite, Hestia is also my woman, right?"

Amphitrite rolled her eyes at Luo Yin and did not answer the question.

At this moment, Hecate suddenly turned around and flew towards the southwestern region of Asia Minor.

"The goddess Hecate——"

Luo Yin immediately said loudly.

"Where are you going?"

Hecate stopped, turned her back to Luo Yin and others and said.

"I am a god from the Anatolian Peninsula. I have nothing to do with you. Now I want to return to my hometown."

"But your hometown Lycia is still controlled by the Mycenaeans. If you return to your hometown, you will only be controlled by Zeus again. If you believe me, I can help you drive Zeus away and take back the throne of the patron god of Lycia."

Hecate turned her head and looked at Luo Yin with emotionless cold eyes.

"Will you help me so kindly?"

"As long as you give up your identity as a virgin goddess and become my woman, I will help you take back the Lycian region, which means I will help myself take the Lycian region."

"Then your degree of badness is really not inferior to Zeus at all!"

"Of course you can refuse me! In fact, I do this only because I don't have time to promote centralized rule. If I have enough time, perhaps I will also abolish polytheism and let all the gods lose their patron saints and become my subordinate gods."

Hecate looked at Luo Yin with a complicated look, and then her body turned into a black stream of light and flew away.

Looking at Hecate's departing figure, Luo Yin couldn't help but say.

"If Hecate returns to the Lycian region, she will probably be controlled by Zeus again or become a subordinate god of the Sun Queen."

Then, Luo Yin looked down at Mycenae and said.

"Perseus! I want you to understand that you have lost Zeus's protection."

After that, Luo Yin used his divine power to condense the sun fire with a diameter of 100 meters and smashed it into the Zeus Temple in Mycenae.

With a loud bang!

The sun fire that fell from the sky engulfed the Zeus Temple, and instantly burned the temple buildings and temple priests to ashes. After that, Luo Yin turned back to human form and returned to his army, issuing an order to attack Mycenae.

At this time, everyone in Mycenae, including Perseus, fell into fear and panic because of the destruction of the Zeus Temple.
