Amon nodded. "Thank you for the reminder. I will only cut off one of Antonio's fingers. I don't intend to ask for more. "
The judge slowly said, "Then the court rules that you can cut off one of his hands."
Antonio also praised loudly, "Themis! Dear judge, you are the symbol of fairness and justice, Themis has come to earth! "
While the presiding judge made the verdict, several gods and more than a dozen oracles in the hall had already quietly prayed for Antonio, casting the Space Diversion Shielding Technique. In other words, the space where Antonio was had become one. Even if Amon slashed his finger, it would be equivalent to hitting the entire space. If one's strength was strong enough, they could break the space into pieces, but they could not cut off one of his fingers alone.
There were limits to this method. Although there was nothing unusual on the surface, ordinary people could not bear it at all. It was because Antonio was a ninth-level oracle that the gods could do this. Medanzo thought to himself, This is too much, this is simply a trap for you! It's a pity that I didn't bring Gabriel's Blade of Order. Maybe it would work with that axe.
Sensing this situation, Amon frowned and said, "What if I don't cut it today?"
The judge did not speak, but a priest next to him said, "The court has made a ruling, and it needs to be carried out on the spot. If you refuse to do it, you will be in contempt of the court, and you will be punished by being expelled from the place where the glory of the Olympian gods shone. If you cut it off, it is not only a finger, but also a violation of the court's ruling. Moreover, you have hurt a high priest, and you will be punished more severely. "
The person who spoke was Yalena, who was in the hall, but Amon seemed indifferent. He looked at Antonio and said, "Your life does not belong to me. When you die, your soul will either dissipate on its own or go to the Underworld of Olympus."
Everyone was puzzled. Antonio raised a finger to Amon and said, "Amon, are you here to challenge the Olympian gods? Only the most powerful deity can cut down my decree! "
If Amon showed the means of the gods, he would naturally violate the original agreement with Zeus. His cooperation with Zeus would be terminated, and he might not be able to hurt Antonio. If he did, it would mean that he had officially broken off relations with the gods, and he might immediately face a conflict. If he didn't, he would be expelled as an ordinary person and would never be able to return to the Olympian realm.
The corners of Antonio's mouth curled up into a mocking smile. His expression seemed to be saying, "My finger is right here, come and chop it if you have the guts." However, in the blink of an eye, his smile froze, and the finger he had raised up disappeared!
Just as he stretched out his finger, Amon disappeared from where he stood and suddenly appeared in front of him. He drew out a hunting knife that gleamed with a cold light. Without saying a word, he swung the knife and cleanly cut off the finger. His finger spun out and landed on one end of the Scales of Judgment in Themis's hand.
The knife Amon used was not the magical Edge of Order, but an ordinary hunting knife, less than a foot long. It was not a weapon used on the battlefield, but a tool used for hunting in the wild. The blacksmiths of Duc forged it with fine iron, which was both sharp and tough, very resistant to wear and tear, and not easy to break.
When Amon left Duc, Mayor Dusti gave him this knife. After so many years, Amon had seen countless magic weapons, many of which were given to his disciples, but this knife had always been kept by him.
Amon only cut off a finger, and Antonio's wound did not bleed at all. A golden light firmly locked the space where Antonio was, and his flesh, tendons, and bones were condensed into one. If such a method was used, of course Antonio would lose his life!
If the gods had not cast Spatial Diversion on Antonio, the divine emissary could still be alive, and losing a finger would not have killed him. Amon was a god, and his body and soul were fused with a strange golden light. With this golden light, he condensed the space where Antonio was, and cut off the finger with an ordinary hunting knife.
"Lord Judge, I have cut off this finger. Thank you for your fair ruling today!" Amon said the last sentence calmly, and turned to walk out of the temple with Medanzo. Many people in the temple gasped. Looking at Antonio's frozen body, many people showed a look of anger.
Yalena's voice said again, "Amon violated his agreement with the father of the gods and performed the means of the gods in public. The divine realm of Olympus should no longer tolerate his existence!"
Themis, still blindfolded, said lightly, "This is a personal grudge. As long as the gods are willing to pay the price, they can decide what to do. Amon is no longer a collaborator of the father of the gods, and Zeus can not stop him in the name of the divine system. "
Amon walked out of the Temple of Apollo in Delphi, and Medanzo followed and whispered, "My god, can we still leave Delphi?"
Amon replied quietly, "Of course we can leave. This is where the temple of the gods is, and no one wants to fight in their own home. If someone wants to besiege us, it must be outside Delphi, on our way out."
Medanzo said with some worry, "My god, you can step into the void. Let's go quickly. There is no need to fight these people, let me deal with them!"
Amon smiled bitterly. "I can't leave. Countless divine auras have locked on to me, and I can't escape directly. They don't want to target you at all, they are just coming for me. "
Meckazo's eyes widened. "They really want to fight? Do we need to summon the angels in heaven? Who's afraid of who! "
Amon shook his head. "As long as I don't chop off that knife and kill Antonio, there will be no conflict, but I have already done that, and this will naturally be the result. This has nothing to do with the angels, and it is not a battle between two divine systems. If any god wants revenge, I am already waiting, and it will be strange if you follow me. " The two talked as they walked, neither fast nor slow, and had no intention of escaping at all. Instead, it was as if they were taking a stroll and enjoying the scenery. Long before Amon became a god, he had witnessed Maria's Tiamat's Wrath severely injuring Seth, the main god of the Ennead at that time. If the gods avoided them, mortals could not find them in eternity. But if the gods came to the human world, they would be locked on by detection magic, and there was no way for them to step into the void.
Either they could escape this detection, or they could fight their opponents, but Amon did neither. If he took off into the sky as fast as he could, most of the divine emissaries here might not be able to catch up, but this was the realm of Olympus, and it was easy for the gods to stop him, so Amon simply walked at a leisurely pace.
As they walked, Medanzo suddenly asked in confusion, "My god, you are not going down the mountain, but up the mountain!" Amon did not go down the mountain the way he came, but turned around and walked through the temples towards the main peak of the mountain where Delphi was. There was no road under his feet, and in front of him were wild flowers, weeds, dense forests, and rocks. Amon replied lightly, "We are in the hinterland of Olympus, and it is the same no matter which direction we go." Medanzo said again, "But if we go to the plains at the foot of the mountain, the Olympian gods will have a lot of scruples. If we go to the main peak of the mountain now, isn't it obvious that people can attack us unscrupulously?
Oh, I see! You are giving those who want to attack a chance. Since we have already broken off, we might as well end it quickly. " Amon smiled and said, "Since there will be a conflict sooner or later, we might as well settle it here. Why guard against thieves for a thousand days?
And you should know that those gods have gone through untold hardships to enjoy the achievement of transcending eternal life and have true eternal life. They will not easily take risks. They mainly drive their divine emissaries to attack together. " Medanzo also sighed and said, "Not to mention the gods, even most of the ninth-level divine emissaries who have passed the test of endless arising and ceasing cycle will not easily fight to the death. Instead, they are used to settling the battle in an agreed way like the gods. But the divine emissaries accept the guidance of the gods and have an oath, and sometimes they have to fight. "
Amon also sighed and said, "An oath is also a kind of responsibility, a kind of burden. It may be fine for a hundred years, but when something happens, you also have to face the consequences. If they really besiege me, I will not be lenient, just like I did with Antonio.
Medanzo said again, "My god, none of them are your opponent, but even if you are the master of heaven, those ninth-level divine emissaries may hurt you in the human world.
Even if they can't hurt you, if you kill too much, there is a risk of being injured or dying. Now I am very clear about what 'the test of fate, the judgment of the end of days' is. "
Amon replied, "I will avoid the possibility of dying, because once I die, the heaven will no longer exist, which is against my promise. But I will not hesitate to be seriously injured, and will only leave the battlefield at the most critical moment. In fact, there are many ways to kill a person. The power may be earth-shattering, or it may just be a light blow. I will have a sense of propriety. "
As the two talked, they continued to walk up the mountain. It was almost dusk, and a cool evening wind blew, rustling the grass and trees. The higher they went, the more complex the terrain became, and when they looked back, the view became wider. Amon suddenly looked up and said, "This sunset is so beautiful, Medanzo, how long has it been since you have enjoyed the sunset?" Medanzo was startled. "Hearing you say that, I really haven't enjoyed it for many years." Amon: "Then take a good look at the sunset of this Delphi, what a beautiful scenery it is, and immerse your mind in it. If you can do it at this moment, you will have a new realization." Medanzo stopped talking and followed behind Amon to enjoy the sunset scenery. They passed through the dense forest and undulating mountain ridges, passing several places suitable for ambushes along the way. Amun's mood did not change, and Medanzo also just watched the sunset as they walked all the way to the top of the mountain. At this time, the sun was gradually sinking into the distant horizon. Medanzo comfortably opened his arms and looked at the golden light in the sky. "My god, this feels so good!"
Amon suddenly reached out and said, "Give me the Key of Destiny." Under the golden light of the setting sun, Medanzo took out the golden edge and handed it to Amon. "My god, are they going to make a move?" He did not ask what he should do after handing the weapon to Amon.
Amon held the Key of Destiny and said, "Someone has been watching us along the way. Maybe they haven't waited for the right time and place. Medanzo, do you remember the past? We've had similar experiences before. " Medanzo puffed out his chest and unknowingly had a heroic air rising in him. He replied with a smile, "Are you talking about when the two of us raided from thousands of miles away, went deep into the enemy's rear and captured Hittite King alive?" Back then, Amon was still the head of the Andela legion of Eygut. His public identity was a supreme warrior, and Medanzo was the captain of his guards. They went deep into the rear of the Hittite Army and captured Hittite King Lucier. Now, it was the two of them who went deep into the Olympian holy land of Delphi.
Amon said indifferently, "If we make a move later, you must remember to do your best to follow behind me. Do you still remember the duty of the captain of the guards?"
In a battle, if the commander personally went into battle, then the guards would have to follow closely and protect the flanks and back against stray arrows and sneak attacks. Medanzo nodded, "I understand!"
Amon smiled, "So far, Medanzo, your current appearance is the coolest! You're not inferior to Gilgamesh, and you won't lose to Apollo. " The two stood on the hilltop for a while, watching the setting sun disappear. Amon waved his hand, "It seems that they don't want to make a move here. Let's continue on our way."
Amon led Medanzo to the other side of the mountain. Medanzo asked curiously, "My god, you seem to know where we're going. Have you been here before?" Amon replied, "I haven't, but there's a place I've heard of. Since we have nothing to do, let's go take a look. Do you remember what the scribe said in court? "Medanzo suddenly reacted," Pythagoras Manor! The scribe mentioned this place in court, and so did Aesop! "
Artemis, disguised as the scribe of the court of Delphi, said something in court. On the surface, she was accusing Amon of being too hard-hearted, but it was also a reminder. She specifically mentioned that after crossing the main peak of the mountain where Delphi was located, there was a Pythagoras Manor at the foot of another mountain. In such an occasion, the goddess would not speak carelessly. She must have been reminding Amon of something. So after leaving the Temple of Apollo, Amon headed in the direction of the Pythagoras Manor.
Pythagoras was a mysterious sage, and Aesop had mentioned him before. It was said that he was very rich, but he led his disciples to establish a group that lived an ascetic life in the Pythagoras Manor. Some said that he was a very brilliant doctor and supreme mage. Some even said that he had seen the gods and knew the secrets of the gods.
Aesop accidentally touched the parangon, so he told the story of Pythagoras and left his finger in front of Lord Sio. Afterwards, Amon asked Aesop if he had really seen Pythagoras. Aesop replied that he had seen the sage when he was very young. If that was the case, Pythagoras should be at least a hundred years old. Was he still alive? Was he still living in the Pythagoras Manor?
When Amon heard the news, he was naturally interested in visiting the Pythagoras Manor. Even in this situation, he did not change his mind.
Amon and Medanzo walked down a mountain. The terrain gradually lowered and slowly rose, and in front of them was another mountain. In front of them was a raised slope, with jagged rocks on both sides, hidden in the dense forest. It was already dark, and the stars blinked in the sky. Medanzo said, "Aesop loves to look up at the stars, and they are very beautiful!" Amon sighed softly, "The night is so peaceful, even the insects are not chirping."
Before he could finish his words, something strange happened. Amon waved the Key of Fate, and his whole body emitted a dazzling golden light. He flew towards the high slope in front of him. Medanzo seemed to have disappeared, and with a bang, he turned into a pair of burning wings and followed closely behind Amon.
When Amon rushed to the top of the slope, he turned into a pair of burning wings and turned into four more. It looked like Amon was holding the Key of Fate and rushing at full speed under the protection of the thirty-six wings.
The two of them were talking nicely, and the night was peaceful and tranquil. But without any warning, they made a move. There was an ambush around them, and a total of twenty-four divine emissaries had set up a divine spell formation. Just as they were about to activate the formation, Amon rushed out. Then, light shot out from the high slope.
Flames rose, and thunder rumbled. Even the space seemed to be torn to pieces.
Amon was the one being ambushed, but now he was the one being ambushed. On the high slope, facing Amon's direction, an emissary suddenly jumped out and waved a strange curved staff. He let out a loud roar and flew backwards in an attempt to avoid Amon's attack.
But he couldn't avoid it. The attack from the Key of Fate could only be blocked, not deflected. This emissary let out a loud roar that carried a power to the soul, and the bones all over his body creaked, showing that he was a powerful Roth beast. Facing Amon's close-range attack, he wanted to change into his original form, but it was too late.
Amon's protective golden light trembled slightly in the roar. The tip of the Key of Fate lightly touched the emissary's forehead, and the roar stopped abruptly! This attack killed him on the spot.
There were so many emissaries around, so why did Amon attack him first? The emissary could only blame himself, because Amon was very familiar with his aura. He was the emissary guided by Aphrodite, and also Aphrodite's summoned beast. Aphrodite had come to the human world as Helen to tempt Alexander and Medanzo, and the Roth beast they met in the mountains was him.
