Greek Mythology: Evolution from monitor lizards

Chapter 203 Trinity, vs. Trinity

"The last time I saw the goddess Metis was during the Titan War."

After the gods were silent for a moment, Hades spoke: "I fought with my father and passed out during the battle. When I woke up, the battle was over and the goddess Metis was gone."

"So, whether the goddess Metis committed a crime, and if so, what crime she committed, please ask the God King to explain."

"Indeed." Next to him, Poseidon nodded.

Among the gods, there was a stir.

Hades and Poseidon had already spoken, so Zeus had to express something. Although Zeus is the king of gods, he does not say everything in Olympus.

"Indeed... neither Hades nor Poseidon knew about it." The dragon pondered beside him.

The dragon once saw this past event in Cronus' memory fragments. Hades and Poseidon both passed out during the battle, and Zeus killed Cronus alone.

Then, Zeus wooed Hera, and Hera asked Zeus to give Metis to her.

This is the cause and effect.

"What, my God King? Don't you have anything to say?"

"Blood for blood. If Metis is not guilty of the crime, then Hera will pay for her crime with her own blood."

Themis raised her sword and stepped forward step by step. The evil-killing silver sword trembled slightly and erupted into a whistling sound. The book of law and the scales behind her shone with divine light!

Among them, the Book of the Law is at the top, the scales are at the bottom right, and at the bottom left, there is a third vision that is slowly taking shape!

"Trinity! This is the Trinity!" the dragon thought in his heart, "Themis's divine power is constantly increasing!"

"She already has the power of the ninth level of the Lord God. If she goes higher, she will also have the vision of the Trinity, which is a power that surpasses the God King!"

Even for Zeus, his trinity was not fully formed, and for Hera, her trinity was only a rudiment.

"The Book of the Law, the Scales, I wonder what Themis's third vision will be... No wonder, Themis is the most powerful goddess in Olympus! Because she is close to the Trinity!"

"My respectable and upright wife." Zeus finally spoke.

Zeus's words were calm, but thunder burst out from his pupils, and the dome of destiny above his head suppressed it. Suddenly, the gods in the royal court couldn't help but feel nervous!

The weaker of the gods almost fell to his knees!

A terrifying illusion appears behind Zeus!

The earth is flowing with blood, and the battlefield is burning with fire. Corpses and screams, carrion and bones. war.

The solemn array of knights, the shining weapons, the magnificent castle. Violence.

A square where billions of beings gather, cheers like a roaring tsunami, gold coins colliding with each other, eyes of desire, reverence, flattery and fear, and authority.

All these illusions are reduced to one, which is the first level of the trinity of Zeus, the King.

The chaotic execution ground, the crowd of onlookers, curses one after another, the executioner, the king who looked lonely as he was pressed towards the guillotine.

The guillotine fell, and the king's head fell to the ground.

The walls of the great castle, the capital of a thousand-year empire, collapsed. The pagans rushed into the sacred capital, and the king lifted up his purple robe to reveal the silver armor underneath.

He rushed into the host of the heathen and evaporated like a drop of blood in the blazing sun.

In the solemn meeting hall, men in white robes glared angrily. In front of them, the king was reading a petition.

A man suddenly appeared. He opened his white robe, revealing a sharp dagger, and stabbed the king. Then everyone rushed forward.

The king died among the murders of everyone. He looked at one of them and said, "My child, are you there too?"

Finally, of course, there is the king with a scythe. He knelt on the ground, his divine power shattered. He looked at the thunder sword in front of him and roared loudly: "Come - chop off your father's head -"

All these illusions are reduced to one, which is the second level of the trinity of Zeus, the king-slayer.

The trinity of Zeus, the King, the Kingkiller.

And his third vision was——

Zeus stood up. His terrifying power made Themis take a step back. His terrifying and majestic divine voice resounded throughout Mount Olympus.

"Themis, your sword is aimed at the king, and the king's wife—"

"Don't you know that one of my trinity is the king-slayer? Your sword is worthy of the reputation of king-slayer!"

boom!

The sword in Themis's hand trembled crazily, and then broke. The blade roared and flew away, piercing the floor!

Themis couldn't help but take a step back, spitting blood from her mouth and flowing down her white robe. “Do you want to use the sword in your hand to kill the king?!”

At Zeus's roar, Themis couldn't help but take a step back again, almost unable to stand still!

"call……"

Themis's clothes and hair were whistling in the strong wind. She was swaying, holding the broken sword, her arms were shaking, but her voice was still cold and calm, "I don't want to kill the king, but for the dignity of the law!"

Blood also flowed from her eyes, and the bright red blood stained her white blindfold.

Themis took a deep breath, and she still asked firmly: "God King, you have to answer me."

"Metis, what crime did you commit?"

boom! ! !

At this moment, the light illuminated the entire Olympus God Realm, and endless divine power descended from the sky, turning into thousands of pillars of divine power, roaring like dragons, flying across the sky, and converging on Olympus. The top of Pith was injected into Themis' body!

Themis's divine power increased wildly, and the third level of vision appeared behind her!

It was a sword—a sword with a lock!

"The Book of the Law, the Scales, the Locked Sword!"

"The Book of the Law represents the binding force on all creatures in Olympus, the scales represent that all creatures are equal and are not affected by status, power, and money, and the locked sword represents restraint. Violence!"

"The law requires violence to enforce it. Only in this way can the dignity of the law be maintained."

"And the law can only restrain those creatures who have committed sins and cannot be abused. Therefore, this is a locked sword!"

Yang Qi thought in his heart: "The locked sword is the third vision of Themis!"

"She... actually completed the Trinity in this hall. Her power is getting closer to Zeus... and she is constantly getting closer to Zeus!"

"My child." At this moment, a pair of gentle hands grabbed Yang Qi, it was the Queen of the Underworld.

"Look carefully." The Queen of Hades said softly with her divine breath: "The Trinity, that is a power beyond the level of the main god."

"The method of advancement is not recorded in the Titan Mysteries at all, because every god has a different method and has his own way of advancement."

"Perhaps one day you will use your own method to advance to the Trinity."

"Themis' original intention was not to advance in power. But the way for her to advance is to use the law to challenge——"

The Queen of Hades did not continue, but Yang Qi understood.

As the goddess of law, her way to advance is to use the law to challenge the royal power.

Her original intention was not to increase her own power, but to seek justice for Metis.

However, in the process of seeking justice, she completed her own advancement.

At some point, the terrifying majesty of Zeus, the power of the king that made all living beings tremble, was no longer so terrifying to her.

Just like after the storm, bright golden mountains rise from the dark sea. That light that allows the poorest, humblest, and weakest creatures to get a glimmer of comfort——

The light formed wings ten thousand meters wide and spread out behind Themis. The book of law, the scales, and the locked sword shone behind Themis. Her fearless face was majestic and beautiful beyond all else.

In the fierce wind, she raised the broken sword in her hand again and pointed it at Hera.

"Please explain, what crime did the God King, Metis, commit?"

"Is this the dinner of the gods..." the dragon thought in his heart.

“Wife challenges husband.”

"The goddess of law challenges the king's power with the law."

"Also, this is coming..."

"Trinity, to Trinity."
