Chapter 313: Ways to Increase Godhead Power

While Egypt was giving birth to a brilliant civilization, the Libyan region next door was like a transparent person, and did not leave any records in the history before the Iron Age.

However, from the history of Egypt, it can be seen that Libya did not absorb advanced technology from Egypt and give birth to a powerful civilization.

Because in the history of Egypt, the foreign invaders who invaded and conquered Egypt were basically from the Phoenician region east of Egypt, and there were no conquerors from the Libyan region west of Egypt.

Although Libya did not give birth to advanced technological civilization, the harsh living environment and backward technological civilization made the tribes in this area generally warlike.

The gods and goddesses they worship usually have the attributes of war gods.

On the northern coast of Libya, there is a tribe called Pallas.

The Pallas tribe worships the goddess named Pallas as the patron saint, because Pallas is a powerful goddess of war.

It is under the protection of the goddess of war Pallas that the Pallas tribe has been able to survive to this day and has not been destroyed or annexed by other tribes.

At this time, in a desert oasis, Athenian princes Erechtheus and Potes led a thousand Athenian soldiers to launch a war against the Pallas tribe with a population of thousands.

Although the Pallas tribe had a population of thousands, there were only about 500 young and strong men.

In order to defend the tribe, the men, women, and old people of the Pallas tribe, who could fight with weapons, all participated in the battle.

Unfortunately, the Athenians were all well-trained warriors, and they used advanced weapons and shields to strike the Pallas tribe with a dimensionality reduction attack.

While humans were fighting with humans,

the patron saint of the Athenians, Metis, was also fighting a battle of gods with Pallas, the patron saint of the Pallas tribe.

Both goddesses appeared on the battlefield with the posture of gods with a height of 100 meters. Metis waved her spear to attack Pallas, while looking at Pallas with greedy eyes and said.

"Pallas! It's a waste to keep the attributes of the god of war you have on you. Let us merge into one and become gods more powerful than you and me now!"

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

Pallas said while stubbornly blocking Metis's attack.

"I also want to get the attributes of the goddess of the sea, but if we merge into one, will you be the main body or me?"

"What a stupid question! As the patron saint of Athens, I am more powerful than you, so if we merge into one, of course I will be the main body."

"But I don't want to be annexed and absorbed by you!"

"You have no say in this matter!"

At this moment, the Athenians killed and wounded most of the people of the Pallas tribe, and rushed into the Pallas tribe under the leadership of Erechtheus and Portes.

The Athenians came to the open-air altar where the statue of Pallas was enshrined. Erechtheus and Portes mercilessly killed the priests who served the goddess Pallas, and then the two brothers picked up the statue of Pallas and returned to the coast under the escort of the guards.

When the statue of Pallas left the Pallas tribe, Pallas's body movements paused for a moment.

Metis immediately seized this opportunity to throw Pallas to the ground.

Then, under the wide-eyed gaze of Pallas, Metis raised her spear with both hands and stabbed the spear blade into Pallas' heart.

"Pallas! Just disappear from this world and become a part of me!"

After saying that, Metis pierced Pallas' heart with the spear blade.

It is certainly not a simple matter for gods to add new divine powers.

For example -

Even in the real world where gods do not exist, Apollo unilaterally declared himself the sun god and changed the name of the sun god Helios to the sun god Apollo. In the end, Apollo failed to replace Helios as the sun god.

Anyone who knows a little about mythology knows that Helios is the real sun god in Greek mythology.

However, Apollo's approach to increasing the power of the godhood did not fail completely.

Apollo's worshippers used force to enter the Delphi Temple and killed the priestess who served Mnemosyne, and successfully let Apollo replace Mnemosyne as the god of prophecy in the Delphi Temple.

From the two cases of Apollo increasing his divine power, we can see that even in the real world where gods do not exist, gods cannot gain widespread recognition if they unilaterally claim that they have increased their divine power.

Other gods must be eliminated by force and their divine power must be taken for themselves in order for the increase of their divine power to be widely recognized.

Apollo failed to replace Helios as the sun god because, in addition to unilaterally claiming to be the sun god, Apollo could only change Helios' name to Apollo's name.

This self-deceiving approach certainly cannot be widely recognized.

If those who worship Apollo can eliminate Helios's worshippers by force, Apollo can truly replace Helios as the sun god.

Unfortunately, Helios's worshippers are powerful Thracian knights, and Apollo's worshippers cannot even beat the Dorians, let alone the Thracian knights who are more powerful than the Dorians.

If the worshippers of Apollo could defeat the worshippers of Helios, why would they deceive themselves and change the name of Helios into that of Apollo?

After Artemis was confused with Bendis, the Thracian goddess of the moon and hunting, she could not replace Selene as the moon goddess. This was also because Artemis had long since declined and there were no admirers of Artemis at all. Artemis destroys Selene's worshipers by force.

If Artemis can let her admirers destroy Selene's worshipers by force just like Apollo destroyed Mnemosyne by force, Artemis can truly replace Selene as the moon goddess.

Even in a world where gods do not exist, if gods want to increase their own divine power, they can only absorb other gods.

In this world where gods really exist, gods want to increase their divine power, and of course they want to annex and absorb other gods.

As Pallas's heart was pierced by Metis's spear blade, her body disintegrated and turned into a ball of golden divine origin in front of Metis. The center of the divine origin was wrapped with the godhead of the goddess of war. .

The origin of gods - this is the root energy that makes gods immortal beings.

If Metis just takes away Pallas's war godhead, Pallas will soon be resurrected by his divine origin.

Because only by eradicating Pallas's divine origin can he completely kill Pallas.

"This is your divine origin and the godhead of the goddess of war!"

Metis looked at the god's origin and war godhead in front of him with fanatical eyes, and finally opened his mouth and sucked in all of Pallas's god's origin and godhead into his body.

Whoa——

Whoa——

Pallas's divine origin was integrated into Metis' body, and a pair of white wings of the sky god immediately spread out from behind Metis.

Turning to look at the white wings behind him, Metis said with satisfaction.

"From now on, I am no longer just a snake goddess from the sea, but also a sky goddess with wings. I will have both the attributes of sky god and ocean god."

At this time, Erechtheus and Portes took the statue of Pallas back to their ship, and then ordered the sailors to return immediately with the statue of Pallas.
