The 2 looked at the Acropolis of Athens in the distance for a while, then Evelina said,
"The goddess' oracle asked me to bring you here."
"Although she didn't tell me the reason, I guessed it."
"This is the eternal resting place of Athena in this plane. Although most of its power has been inherited by the goddess, this is both the place of origin and the place of eternal rest of Athena."
"By obtaining your sacrifice in the Parthenon Temple in the Acropolis of Athens, the goddess can use the power of the past to exert her divine power to the extreme and completely suppress that sacrifice."
Hearing Evelina's explanation, Fang Linyan nodded and said,
"If it can be done like this, that would be the best."
Evelina said,
"Let's go up first."
Fang Linyan nodded and said,
"Okay, aren't we waiting for them?"
Evelina said,
"According to the goddess, this time she will take this opportunity to directly manifest her divinity. Therefore, to hold a ceremony such as the harvest festival, the preparation of the materials and the following ceremony are very tedious. It will take at least 5 to 6 hours of preparation."
"Let's go to the secret room of the Parthenon Temple first. Let's use the remaining power of the goddess there to suppress the sacrifice you brought."
Fang Linyan nodded and said,
"Okay, let's go."
***
This time, when they returned to the Acropolis of Athens, they did not have to be sneaky like last time.
At this time, the goddess Athena had firmly controlled the Acropolis of Athens. The number of believers in the entire city had exceeded 200,000! Among these believers, there were high-ranking officials and rich people, and the citizens who worked every day. They had formed an out-and-out huge network of relationships.
People often used "unity of mind" to describe unity, but this was just an exaggeration. But at this time, in Athens, it had really reached an exaggeration of 200,000 people's unity!
When all the nodes of this network weaved by the goddess with faith were in operation, the power that erupted was very terrifying.
When Fang Linyan and Evelina came to the gate of the Acropolis of Athens, they found that a notice had been posted here. It said that the business was temporarily suspended because of the corresponding monument maintenance. The specific opening time needed to wait for the notice.
As the two of them continued to move forward, someone had already taken the initiative to come forward and interrogate them. In the end, Evelina directly took out a pass and waved it at him. This person immediately let them pass.
Not only that, but a supervisor also rushed over. When he saw Evelina's face, he actually knelt down in reverence.
It turned out that he was also a believer, and because his wife had received God's grace and her chronic illness had been alleviated over the years, he had become a devout believer.
Evelina smiled faintly as she stroked his head and gave him a simple blessing. This supervisor immediately felt refreshed as he worshipped Evelina joyfully. Then, Evelina waved her hand and he bowed and retreated in fear.
At this time, the Acropolis of Athens had been completely cleared, and only the two of them were left.
Looking at the scenery in the distance, the sun shone on the Aegean Sea in the distance. The waves sparkled like gold, and there were white sails on the surface of the sea in the distance. The scenery was beautiful.
Fang Linyan suddenly felt that things were still the same, but people had changed. He couldn't help but say to Evelina,
"You've followed the Goddess all the way here. You've witnessed her glory and her downfall … If you ignore the skyscrapers in front of you, what's the difference between the Attica Peninsula thousands of years ago and now?"
Evelina brushed her long hair with her hand and smiled slightly, "I have never noticed these things.
"I've never paid attention to these sceneries. I'm the Goddess's shepherd. I'm herding her believers. That's the core of my life."
"For me, everything else is like a clear spring water flowing through a stone. It may be moving when it flows past, but once it flows away, it is clear without a trace."
Fang Linyan was surprised by her purity, but thinking about it carefully, if Evelina was not such a person, she would not be valued by the goddess and entrusted with such an important task.
The 2 walked side by side. Evelina took Fang Linyan's arm and came to the front of the Parthenon Temple like a couple.
This was the largest temple dedicated to the goddess in the world. It once stored a goddess statue that was more than 10 meters high and built with gold and ivory. Unfortunately, it was later destroyed in the war.
At this time, only the main building of the Parthenon Temple remained. It covered an area of half a football field. What supported the main building were 46 marble pillars that were 34 feet high, pointing straight to the sky.
Even though there was only a piece of ruins left at this time, it still made people feel magnificent!
When they got closer to take a look, they could see the exquisite relief carvings carved out of the waistline of the giant pillars. There were cheerful citizens, beautiful girls, musicians playing the guqin, sacrificial beasts …
After the 2 entered the temple, they found that although the surroundings were empty and there was no one else, an indescribable solemn atmosphere still quietly grew.
Evelina stepped forward quickly, then knelt on the ground, putting her palms together and praying silently. Fang Linyan hesitated for a moment, then he also knelt on the ground as a Holy Knight.
Gradually, white light clusters began to appear from Evelina's body. After these light clusters appeared, they reluctantly hovered in the temple for a while, then they began to gather in the south of the temple.
As the light clusters increased, the light became brighter, and then it began to quickly form the illusion of a goddess statue!!
This giant statue was more than 10 meters high. The carving could be said to be ingenious. It was the goddess statue that had been enshrined in the Parthenon Temple for more than 10 centuries. It was also the largest golden goddess statue in the world.
At this time, the statue that Evelina used willpower to guide was just an illusion, but it looked so magnificent and extremely magnificent!
After a few seconds, a white and flawless owl suddenly flew from a distance, then it flapped its wings and stopped on the shoulder of the statue.
After the 2 were together, they seemed to be inseparable. Obviously, this was the incarnation of Athena.
At this time, the owl looked at Fang Linyan. Fang Linyan immediately understood in his heart. After taking a few steps forward, he came to the bottom of the statue, then he directly took out the "Divine Melody".
At this time, the "Divine Melody" still belonged to Fang Linyan, so it didn't show any abnormalities.
Fang Linyan glanced at the owl. After seeing her nod slightly, he put the "Divine Melody" on the ground, then he took a step back.
The shape of the "Divine Melody" was like a delicate and heavy book from the Middle Ages. When Fang Linyan released it, it was surrounded by a light cluster, then it slowly floated up and came to the eyes of the goddess' illusion.
Immediately afterward, a white light began to erode the interior of the "Divine Melody". But obviously, this erosion lasted for a few minutes, but it was useless.
Seeing this scene, Fang Linyan suddenly realized the reason behind this.
First of all, in order to distinguish between the 2 Athenas, the Athena brought back from the Medieval England dimension was called the goddess, and the native Athena was called Athena.
Athena had perished in her eternal sleep, and her divine kingdom had completely decayed and decayed. Therefore, the foreign goddess could easily inherit her priesthood, believers, and part of her power because the 2 were born from the same source.
However, Athena's living environment and growth experience were still different from that of the goddess, so some of the power she left behind could not be absorbed by the goddess, or it could be said that there would be a big problem after absorbing it.
The main body of this part of the power was in this Parthenon Temple. Although the goddess could not absorb it, she could "kill with a borrowed knife". She could use this residual power to erode the protective power of the "Divine Melody". In this way, she did not have to consume her own willpower.
At this time, Fang Linyan's chest suddenly became hot, and the [Infinity Mark] appeared. He suddenly received the relevant prompt in front of him,
[Contractor No. ZB419, do you want to transfer the authority of the legendary item: "Divine Melody" to an unknown object?]
[Prompt: Because this equipment is a special soul-bound equipment, if you attempt to do this, the unknown object must accept my imprint.]
Fang Linyan was taken aback, and he quickly realized that the [Infinity Mark] seemed to be selfish! However, this kind of thing was very taboo, so Fang Linyan also felt that he couldn't take the initiative to speak. He could only silently observe the development of the situation and look for relevant opportunities.
Next, the goddess continued to erode the interior of the "Divine Melody", trying to obtain its ownership.
However, the "Divine Melody" was different from Fang Linyan's offerings. Strictly speaking, Fang Linyan's offerings were all operated by him personally. He then tried to summon creatures from another dimension for the goddess to kill and absorb energy.
The golden storyline equipment, the [Lying Pen], was a consumable, and the number of uses was about to be exhausted. More importantly, it was not a soul-bound equipment.
Therefore, this time, the goddess wanted to directly obtain long-term control and use of the "Divine Melody". However, she was not a Space Warrior, so the difficulty was undoubtedly challenging the power of the Space.
— Of course, this was impossible.
Because in the final analysis, the gods were actually creatures that were more advanced than humans and had a more advanced way of absorbing energy. They also had to rely on a certain dimension to survive.
On the other hand, the Noah Space was a powerful life force that could exist independently of the dimension. The two were not comparable at all.
As time passed, the illusion of the goddess's holy statue in the Parthenon Temple became dimmer and dimmer. Obviously, it had been almost consumed.
The goddess probably didn't know that the "Divine Melody" was so difficult to deal with, but when she tried to erode it, she could already feel the majestic and surging power in it. It seemed to be even more wonderful than what Fang Linyan described.
Therefore, her desire for this item could be said to be extremely strong. It could be said that she was determined to get it because this thing could obtain resources for a long time as described by Fang Linyan.
It was a rich mine that could be exploited continuously!
Seeing that the remaining power in the Parthenon Temple was about to be exhausted, the goddess was also decisive. She used all her power at once and launched the strongest attack!
All 3 incarnations of the goddess appeared at once!
First, the incarnation of the olive tree emerged from below. The crown of the olive tree firmly wrapped around the "Divine Melody"!
The white owl swooped down and pecked down fiercely.
Not only that, but a gorgeous snake also appeared, and it actually opened its mouth and swallowed the "Divine Tune" directly.
The full blow of the goddess this time could be said to be astonishingly powerful. It directly broke through the surface defense mechanism of the "Divine Melody" and touched the core algorithm of the internal encryption of the dimension!
It was equivalent to someone forcibly depriving Fang Linyan of the right to use this equipment without his permission.
The most important thing was that the "Divine Melody" was a legendary equipment, so the space defense mechanism attached to it must be very powerful. It was just like the security measures of ordinary bank outlets were definitely not as strong as the security measures of the bank headquarters.
Therefore, the full blow of the goddess this time not only did not work as she expected, but it also attracted a powerful backlash.
With a flash of light, the white owl screamed miserably, and feathers flew everywhere!
The olive tree withered directly, and the withered leaves rustled down. The giant snake that swallowed the "Divine Melody" directly exploded, turning into spots of colorful light and dissipating.
Not only that, High Priest Teritogonia, who was far away in France, suddenly fell to the ground as if she was struck by lightning. A lot of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.
Evelina, who was the closest, fainted directly. Her face was pale, and she seemed to be dying.
Even the Parthenon Temple was affected by the impact. Large amounts of rocks fell to the ground. A few of the marble pillars even collapsed to the ground. Luckily, the Greek government had been constantly repairing the structure. Otherwise, the ancient site would have been destroyed by now.
The power of this attack instantly caused great damage to the Goddess's vitality. After painstakingly managing her Divine Kingdom, it had already recovered to about one-fifth of its heyday. But now, after this wave of attack, her strength suddenly returned to its pre-liberation state overnight!
Seeing this scene, Fang Linyan was also stunned. He never expected that the movement this time would be so big. The suffering of the goddess was far beyond his imagination.
The key was that Fang Linyan looked at his attribute panel again at this time, and he couldn't even use the spell of soul language. Fortunately, the blessing of Athena could still be used.
Since something happened to the Parthenon Temple, the security personnel would definitely come to maintain it in time. Fang Linyan found that the "Divine Melody" also fell directly, so he picked it up and put it back into his personal space.
Then, he carried Evelina on his back and walked out. When someone questioned him, he took out his pass and immediately retreated obediently.
After Fang Linyan returned to the manor with Evelina, he found that it was also a mess inside. Because both the high priest and Evelina were affected, the other priestesses were no exception.
