You killed Iza, you hypocritical cold-blooded saintess, you don't have the right to be the Goddess. You will only bring destruction to Parthenon! "scolded the Muse Mei Le with a sobbing tone.
Mei Le was loyal to Iza. The moment Ye Xinxia received the Blessing of the Goddess, the people of the Hall of Judgment had betrayed her. They no longer mentioned Iza. A bunch of them even destroyed Iza's statue before Ye Xinxia returned.
The change happened so quickly that it was ridiculous. Could it be that the previous vow of loyalty and loyalty were all fake? Just because Ye Xinxia became a goddess, she was willing to give up her dignity and faith?
How was Iza any worse than Ye Xinxia? Her heart would always belong to Parthenon. She would never neglect the people who were willing to follow her.
Why were these people so heartless!?
Mei Le was not that kind of person.
She still spoke up for Iza. Even though the situation had changed, even though the people of the city were supporting Ye Xinxia, Iza was still the Goddess in her heart!
"Mei Le, Parthenon isn't a place where freedom of speech is guaranteed. You better not say another word, or else …" scolded the Hall Mother Pamise coldly.
"It's all Ye Xinxia's scheme. Ye Xinxia knew she couldn't win the election, so she created this accident. She was putting on an act. Iza isn't participating in the election for the Goddess' position, she's doing it for the future of Parthenon. She's stopping Ye Xinxia. Ye Xinxia is the Supreme Pontiff! The Supreme Pontiff is the Supreme Pontiff! "screamed Mei Le crazily.
It was a huge conspiracy.
Salan's meticulous plan.
She cleared all the obstacles in the Black Vatican and made Ye Xinxia the Supreme Pontiff.
She even used the Black Vatican's cruel methods to make Ye Xinxia the Goddess of Parthenon.
The Supreme Pontiff was the Goddess.
The goddess was the pope!
Parthenon and Greece would no longer have a future.
The world that Wen Tai had endured so much pain and torment to protect would be destroyed by Salan using their daughter!
Why was no one awake?
Why was no one willing to listen to him?
Why can't people accept this terrible truth!!
"Take off her Virtuous Woman Earrings and lock her up in the Hall of the Goddess." Ye Xinxia did not allow Mei Le to continue acting so presumptuously.
"You can do whatever you want with me. I will never yield to you!" Mei Le said with unusual firmness. However, this firmness of hers was in a state where her nerves were on the verge of collapse.
Mei Le was taken away by a few knights and her earrings were taken off in front of everyone. For a moment, all the maids who used to serve Iza knelt down in fear.
Once the title of the Virtuous Woman was taken away, they might not even be able to stay in Parthenon.
Once they left the Parthenon Temple, they were nothing. The Parthenon Temple did not even allow them to use the magic they had learned. Those who were alone were still fine, as they could at least live a prosperous life, but the Maids and Muses who were related to powerful factions, clans, and the government of major cities would be banished from the Parthenon Temple …
To them, this was no different from ruining their lives.
Besides, the factions of the Saintesses had clashed many times. Many of the Muses and maids had said disrespectful things to Ye Xinxia.
Before today, they would never have thought that Ye Xinxia would emerge victorious in the end!
"Get up, the Day of Worship is the time to show your loyalty. It's still the election day." The Hall Mother snapped when she saw the maids and Muses were so eager to submit to Ye Xinxia.
"Hall Mother." Ye Xinxia glanced at the Execution Mages who were escorting the evil herbalist away and said, "Leave him to me."
"Well..." the Hall Mother hesitated, but when she saw Ye Xinxia's gaze, she gradually realized that Ye Xinxia was not asking for permission. "Alright, keep an eye on him. He's a key member of the Black Vatican."
"Mm, thanks for your concern, Hall Mother. Please return to the Mountain of the Goddess to rest. I'll take care of the rest," Ye Xinxia said to the Hall Mother.
The Hall Mother nodded.
The election had come to an end. The authority of Parthenon had been handed over to Ye Xinxia. Even though the transfer would take place on the Day of Worship tomorrow, it did not make any difference if the authority was given to Ye Xinxia now.
She had already obtained the approval of Parthenon and the people of Athens. The transfer of authority on the Day of Worship was just a formality.
Before the election of the Goddess was completed, the Hall Mother was in charge of most of the authority in Parthenon, including the important magic of the temple, such as the Wishing Spell...
"Citizens of Athens, you don't have to worry anymore. Enjoy the Fenghua Festival to your heart's content. The Goddess will protect you." The Hall Mother slowly raised her hands in the direction of Ye Xinxia's statue as she spoke.
The election had finally come to an end. Everyone had witnessed Ye Xinxia leading the Hall of Knights to hunt down the giants. They clearly knew who was protecting them and the city. She was Parthenon's greatest Goddess!
The name of the Goddess immediately echoed across the city. Not many people were willing to mention Iza's name. Even the people who supported Iza in the first place began to chant at the top of their lungs. They had realized that they had to double their support in order to receive the blessings of the temple!
Ye Xinxia did not give the final speech. The crowd watched her leave the altar and ride a Sacred Silver Sparrow back to the sacred mountain of Parthenon.
Behind her was a group of formidable knights. A terrifying giant covered in black flames was carried into the air by hundreds of knights and dragons. It was displayed in front of everyone like a trophy of war, and was brought to the Parthenon Temple as Ye Xinxia returned to the sacred mountain.
"That's the Emperor-level Golden Tyrant Titan. Is it dead?" the crowd was astounded.
There were not many creatures in the world that were strong enough to kill an Emperor-level creature. Not long ago, they were still curled up under the scorching flames of the terrifying titan and being tortured by the heat waves. Now, the Golden Tyrant Titan was being carried into the sky by the Hall of Knights like an animal …
"Its head is separated from its body. It must be dead. Oh my God, it's finally dead!"
"If it wasn't for the Goddess, we would have turned into ashes under the demon god's feet by now. Thank you, almighty Goddess!"
"Tomorrow is the first day of the Goddess' Blessing. We have to go to the sacred mountain and receive the blessings!"
"I heard that the first day of the Goddess' Blessing can prolong one's life …"
"No, no, it's the Holy Dew that can significantly improve one's cultivation. Some Mages who are stuck at the bottleneck of the Advanced Level can achieve the Super Level with the blessing."
Lifespan was related to one's soul. Many Mages would suffer damage to their soul during their cultivation. Damage to the soul was different from damage to the body. It was impossible to recover from it.
As such, it was not a lie that the first day of the Goddess' Blessing could prolong one's life!
Similarly, it was a fact that their cultivation could improve, too. Every Mage knew that the strength of their soul was related to their mental strength. Once their mental strength improved, the bottleneck of their cultivation would no longer exist.
For many Mages who had achieved the Super Level, it would be much easier for their other Elements to reach the Super Level. They could even level up on their own without any external help. It was because of their mental strength. Once their other Elements reached the Super Level, their mental strength would reach a higher level. The bottleneck would only exist in name.
The election had just come to an end, but the disaster had yet to subside. There were still sounds of fighting outside the city. The Athenian government was still busy dealing with the burned streets. However, many people had already forgotten that the first day of the Goddess' Blessing was tomorrow. Countless people went to the foot of the sacred mountain to be selected to enter the Hall of Faith when the sun rose, so they could bask in the holy dew that was dripping down from the olive branch.
However, there were not many devout Mages. Everyone had their own goals, and they were all doing it for themselves.
…
The Peak of the Goddess …
The Observatory …
At night, the fighting outside the city finally stopped. The lights in the city were lit up. It was as if nothing had happened during the day.
The officials of Athens were very efficient. They knew the Goddess had been born in an attack. The victims needed to be mourned, and the birth of the Goddess was a celebration. They used every resource they had to cover up the destroyed areas and comfort the families of the victims in the shortest amount of time possible.
Ye Xinxia did not chase Iza's former subordinates out of Parthenon. She gave Iza's former subordinates a difficult task: to comfort the people who were affected by the attack.
They managed to salvage the situation in time. The damage caused by the attack was much lighter than the attacks in other cities. Similar to how Egypt was constantly troubled by the undead, the deaths of people being trampled to death by the giants happened every year in Greece. It was a conflict that had not stopped for thousands of years …
If the local officials and the Magic Association did not handle the Blue Star Tyrant Titan properly, it might cause more casualties than the incident in Athens.
Due to the birth of the Goddess, all the factions, organizations, and officials seemed to have become more active …
The difference between the Saintess and the Goddess was only a single position, but Ye Xinxia had already sensed the difference between the two in just half a day.
"Wallis, bring two people to me. I want to talk to them about the future of Parthenon," Ye Xinxia said to the female knight behind her.
The female knight, Wallis, had recently obtained a Sacred Soul. She was emitting a strong aura that deterred the Mages from approaching her.
"They are …" Wallis asked.
"The Hall Mother and the Dark Herbalist."
