Greece: Zeus made me the queen of heaven?

Chapter 435 Canaan Gu Breeding Farm

This is not a barren land.

The land of Canaan, also described as "the promised land flowing with milk and honey", was not originally barren.

But when Eros came over the land, the scene before him was unexpectedly desolate.

The scorched earth and mountains left only charcoal after being burned by the flames. The smell of ashes slowly rose along with the smell of burnt protein from cooked living creatures.

The cool, salty and humid sea breeze blew in from the sea, slowly smoothing the disaster scene that looked like it had been burned by a wildfire.

The city built on the seaside is still alive, but death and pain still echo in this city.

After a great disaster, there will be a plague.

After the scorching wildfires raged, countless deaths were caused, and the corpses piled up in the city with no one to pick them up.

Rotting maggots grew on the corpses, crawling freely in the stench, bringing disease to more people.

The remaining people were emaciated, with charred faces, and an atmosphere of anxiety, sadness and despair spread throughout the city.

Even though the priests in the temple were busy trying to cure these patients and drive away the diseases, lives continued to be lost.

Under such circumstances, relying solely on human power is of no help, they can only pray for the blessing and help of God.

But wasn't this disaster caused by a bolt of lightning that was deflected from the battle between gods and fell to the ground?

In any case, the priests in the temple could only try to save people while praying to the city-state's main god.

But there was no response yet, perhaps because they did not offer a sincere enough sacrifice.

Perhaps, the main god of this city-state had been defeated in the war between gods, and they had become a city without the protection of God.

Even though the latter is possible, the high priest cannot accept it.

After yet another unanswered prayer, he made a difficult decision.

Offer a sacrifice, and sacrifice one tenth of the remaining living people in the city, including those who are seriously ill.

If such a large-scale sacrifice fails to elicit a response, it can only mean that they will have to leave this land and become wandering refugees.

In order to survive, we sometimes have to make such difficult decisions.

Just as the high priest was about to give an order, a voice he had never heard before sounded above his head.

“If we gather all those bodies together and burn them, and then we separate the people who are not sick from the people who are sick, then the situation will be much better.”

The sound came from a bird that landed on the statue. Its feathers were as black as night, but it had two pupils.

This bird looks mysterious, with a sacred look in its eyes, yet it can speak human language.

The high priest immediately knelt down in fear and trembling towards the bird that Eros had transformed into, but dared not utter a word.

He naturally knew that the bird in front of him was not the incarnation of his main god, because his main god would never speak so gently.

Even blessings are bestowed in a rather casual manner.

"Okay, don't be so afraid. Although I am not your main god, I am not your enemy either."

With his built-in brain, Eros saw through what he was thinking at a glance and spoke.

The statue here no longer has any divine aura, which means the target it was pointing to has disappeared.

And their enemies seemed to have no intention of sending their own believers to take over this small seaside city-state.

Eros had never seen anything like this in Greece, but he knew exactly why it happened.

The gods only bless and nurture these human city-states with their divine power, instead of granting them wisdom and strength. So after the gods leave, these humans will become refugees who cannot fend for themselves and become displaced.

From Metis's narration, Eros already knew that the biggest difference between Canaan and Greece was the lack of a stable order.

Although there is a supreme god Enki, this god rarely interferes in worldly affairs and just sits back and watches the disputes and turmoil in the world.

This led to unrest throughout Canaan, with the gods fighting each other for dominance over the world.

Situations like the one before us are very normal in Canaan.

Eros transformed into a double-eyed bird, looking down at the city that had just experienced a disaster.

"I'm just a traveler passing by here. I couldn't bear to see your situation, so I told you a solution."

"As for whether you believe it or not, whether you do it or not, that is your own business."

He has the ability to easily heal the people of this land, making their lives prosperous and the grass and trees and mountains returning to their original state.

In this way, he can easily gain the worship and awe of these people, and Eros can easily take over the city and become the new main god.

But Eros doesn't like to do this, he still likes to see people's own enthusiasm and hard work.

Under the compassionate and indifferent gaze of the double-eyed bird standing on the statue's head, the high priest swallowed back his original words.

He knelt down reverently and respectfully, kissed the floor beneath his feet, and left in this prostrate posture.

This person was quite tactful and did not say anything presumptuous.

After all, Eros had no intention of becoming the main god of any city-state, and had no interest in helping them.

I was just passing by, collecting information and making a few comments.

As a traveler from afar, the most he can do is spread love and wisdom and maintain his image as a wise man who has come from afar.

"The struggle in this world is really fierce."

After all the irrelevant people had left, Eros spoke to Metis in his mind.

Just now, the two of them had already taken in the situation of the entire city, and had a general understanding of the situation in Canaan as a whole.

"I also didn't expect that the fighting here has become so severe."

Although Metis knew about the situation in Canaan before, he had never personally visited the place, so he needed some information support.

Sure enough, the actual situation is often more serious than what we hear.

"So many gods, not just Canaanite gods, but even foreign gods, are vying for the name of Baal."

"Sure enough, Enki has split so much that his brain has gone awry?"

After making a complaint about Enki, the nominal chief god of Canaan, Eros transformed himself into a bird and flew away.

Baal, meaning "master", is a common title for the main gods of all city-states in Canaan, and does not refer to a single god.

As the real master of the world, Enki not only ignored it, but even threw out a title representing the throne of the King of Gods, leaving it to the gods to fight for.

This action really made Metis think carefully whether there was any special intention behind it.

However, any speculation is not as good as witnessing it with your own eyes.

The two chatted with each other as they flew away into the distance.

　Let’s make a patch for Baal who appeared before. Just think of him as the god Enki or something else. I will explain it later.
