Chapter 47 The Humanoid Demon Aegisthus

Mycenae.

This city guarded by Zeus was the first hegemonic city-state in mainland Greece.

It is certainly no accident that Zeus, the patron saint of the hegemonic city of Mycenae, became the king of the gods in the Greek mythological world.

In the plain of Mesopotamia, the world of Sumerian mythology, as powerful city-states competed with each other for hegemony, the patron saints of these city-states-the water god Enki, the shepherd god Dumuzi, the sun god Utu, and the Venus goddess Yin Shtar successively became the supreme god in the world of Sumerian mythology. Later, the city of Babylon gained long-term and stable royal power, and Marduk, the patron saint of Babylon, became the supreme god in Sumerian mythology.

In the Egyptian region - the world of Egyptian mythology, the status of the Supreme God is also determined by the status of the city-state.

With the rise and fall of the city-states they guarded, Atum, Bastet, Ra, Horus, and Amon all once aspired to the throne of the sun god and became the supreme god.

If there were no external enemy invasion, with the decline of Mycenae, the city-state protected by Zeus, Zeus's status as the king of the gods should be replaced by the patron saints of other city-states.

But the suffering and misfortune of the Greeks became Zeus's greatest luck.

After the decline of Mycenae, the Dorians from the north invaded the Peloponnese and destroyed the city-state civilization of the Mycenaean era.

The Dorians then became the warlike Spartans, waging constant war in the Peloponnese.

In this dark age with frequent wars, no one cares about the status of gods in mythology. Therefore, in the mythology written by Homer and the theogony written by Hesiod, which were born in the dark age, the role of Zeus was established. The status of supreme god.

There was a muffled bang!

After the wings on his back disappeared, Luo Yin's body fell from the sky and landed on the streets of Mycenae.

"This should be the city of Mycenae... right? After all, there cannot be a second city in the Argos region that is comparable to Troy."

Although he was not sure whether he had really arrived in the city of Mycenae, Luo Yin still took the divine spear and walked towards the palace.

Ten years of Trojan War had completely depleted the national power of the city of Mycenae.

Therefore, the city of Mycenae under the rule of Aegisthus was mainly for rest and recuperation, and there were almost no soldiers on the streets.

When Luo Yin arrived at the palace, he saw a man wearing a golden robe and a crown standing at the door of the palace with a spear in his hand.

Seeing that the man in the golden robe had the vicissitudes of a middle-aged man in his eyes, but his face looked like that of a boy in his twenties, Luo Yin frowned and asked.

"Are you the king of Mycenae now - the humanoid demon Aegisthus?"

"You are late!"

Aegisthus smiled and nodded.

"Orestes has returned."

"You are indeed Aegisthus!"

Aegisthus was the son of his father Thyestes and his daughter Philopia.

Because Aegisthus is a humanoid monster different from humans, he has such a youthful appearance in middle age.

Luo Yin walked up to Aegisthus, pointed the blade of the divine spear at Aegisthus and said.

"My goal is to kill Orestes, not to compete with you for the throne."

"Orestes is Clytemnestra's son, and I will not let anyone kill him."

"How much do you love your sister-in-law?"

Although Aegisthus was Agamemnon's cousin, Clytemnestra was not Aegisthus's cousin, but his real sister-in-law.

Because Clytemnestra had two husbands, her first husband was Aegisthus' brother.

"Although Clytemnestra is about ten years older than you, you must have already fallen in love with her when your brother was still alive!"

"That's right!"

Aegisthus said with a smile.

"In this world, I am the one who loves Clytemnestra the most. I killed Agamemnon, not because Agamemnon had killed my father and brother, but because of Clytemnestra. Stella takes revenge. Now that Imphogenia is back alive, Clytemnestra has put aside her hatred, and I will protect her children as a father."

"You pathetic bastard, Clytemnestra's children are all children of Agamemnon. You want to be their father, but they hate you as a father-killer."

Luo Yin looked at Aegisthus with pity and said.

"If you had your own children, maybe you wouldn't live such a miserable life. Unfortunately, you don't have your own children, so you can only love Clytemnestra's children. Aegisthus! Originally, I didn't I didn’t want to kill you, but since you want to hinder me, I can only send your soul to the underworld to meet Agamemnon.”

After saying that, Luo Yin stabbed Aegisthus with his divine spear at great speed.

Aegisthus had no time to react before the blade of the divine spear penetrated his heart.

Although he was fatally injured, Aegisthus said with a bright smile.

"I know that Clytemnestra's children regard me as the enemy who killed their father. My living will hinder the reconciliation between mother and son, so death is a relief for me..."

Having said this, Aegisthus used his right hand to grab Luo Yin's left hand holding the divine spear and said.

"Son of Achilles, the decline of Mycenae is inevitable. If you marry Hermione and inherit the throne of Sparta, you will become the new overlord, so I hope you can let Orestes go - —”

Before he finished speaking, Aegisthus suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at Luo Yin while crying and laughing.

"You...it's you! You saw it! I have proved that I am the one who loves her the most..."

"What nonsense are you talking about? You can't have seen me, nor Neoptolemus. Have you seen someone similar to me--"

With a plop!

Aegisthus turned into a corpse and fell backwards to the ground.

Luo Yin didn't care about what Aegisthus had just said, and walked around his body and walked into the palace.

Walking through the courtyard to the outside of the largest palace, Luo Yin saw a woman's body lying outside the palace gate, and Yin Phigeneia was kneeling beside the woman's body crying.

Luo Yin walked behind Yin Phigeneia and saw that the body was a middle-aged woman with a face very similar to Yin Phigeneia. He immediately guessed that she was Yin Phigeneia's mother Clytemnestra.

"Did your brother Orestes kill your mother?"

"That monster...is not my brother..."

"It seems that you won't prevent me from killing that monster."

After saying that, Luo Yin walked around Yin Phigeneia and walked into the palace.

Deep in the palace supported by twelve stone pillars, there is a gorgeous throne made of gold.

At this time, a blond and beautiful boy about fifteen years old sat on the golden throne and looked down, just like Zeus sitting on the throne of the gods and looking down on everything.

Luo Yin, who walked into the palace, looked at him and said.

"Are you Orestes?"

The blond boy smiled and asked back.

"Are you Neoptolemus?"

"You are not Orestes!"

"You are not Neoptolemus either!"
