I was a priest in the city-state era

No one in the world is a fool and would take the initiative to challenge an enemy that is far more powerful than himself.

When the city of Sparta was competing for interests with the city of Donia, the city of Donia was not yet part of the Kingdom of Athens. The city of Sparta was challenging an enemy whose strength was similar to its own.

Now that Hera knew that the city of Donia was part of the Kingdom of Athens, and Roy also wanted to maintain peace with the city of Sparta, Hera certainly had no reason to continue the war.

Seeing Roy and Hera reach a reconciliation, Persephone looked at Hestia and Pandora and said.

"Now that we are no longer hostile, I will share some of my divine power with you so that you can leave this uninhabited island."

After saying that, Persephone stretched out her hands towards Hestia and Pandora.

Two streams of golden divine power immediately surged out from Persephone's palms and merged into the bodies of Hestia and Pandora.

After a while.

Persephone retracted her hands and came to Hera, hugged Hera's slim waist with her left hand, held Hera's left hand with her right hand, and instilled divine power into Hera from the palm of her hand.

With the power of Persephone, white wings appeared on Hera's back.

Then with her wings fluttering, Hera took Persephone and flew out of the cave and flew toward the Peloponnese Peninsula in the northwest.

After Hera and Persephone left, Hestia volunteered.

"Brother Roy, let's leave here too! Are you going to follow me back to the Attica Peninsula, or are you going to follow Pandora back to Donia City?"

"Sister Hestia, I still have many things to solve in Donia City."

Hestia said with a smile after hearing Roy's answer.

"Then I will return to Attica alone."

After saying that, Hestia's body turned into a red-gold lightning and flew away from the cave.

Only Roy and Pandora were left in the cave. Roy asked Pandora expressionlessly.

"Why didn't you tell us about our true relationship? Did you never really think about marrying me from the beginning?"

Pandora sighed and said.

"When I was so depressed that I was completely suppressed by Europa, and my city of Donia might be conquered by the city of Knossos at any time, I really thought about the possibility of marrying you. But the current situation has become the most difficult for me. It’s different when you’re down. You and I—gods and humans are different lives after all. If you were a god and I was a human girl, would you be willing to marry me and let me share your immortality and divine power?”

Roy shook his head without hesitation and said.

"The divine power that was originally controlled by me alone becomes shared by two people, which is equivalent to losing half of my divine power. I can marry you, but I will not let you share my divine power."

"From our personal interests, you also think that gods should not marry humans. In the eyes of others, a goddess marrying a human man is like your human princess marrying a poor beggar. You will Bless and praise the human princess who married a beggar, or ridicule and humiliate her?”

"If a human princess marries a poor beggar, I will definitely laugh at her stupidity and ignorance. A beggar who is incapable of getting rid of poverty cannot make the princess happy."

After hearing Roy's answer, Pandora looked at Roy and said.

"Then you should be able to understand that I shouldn't marry you, whether it's for my own benefit or for other gods or even humans' opinions of me."

In the myths of another world, the main way the Mycenaeans humiliated and belittled their enemy's goddesses was to make the enemy's goddesses marry human men, or even become the lovers of human men.

A goddess who has fallen so low as to be the lover of a human man is naturally not worthy of human awe and worship.

The goddesses who were belittled and humiliated by the Mycenaeans were indeed not the goddesses worshiped by the Mycenaeans and other Greeks.

For example, Aphrodite, who has many human lovers and demigod sons in mythology, is the patron saint of the island of Cyprus in the Eastern Mediterranean and has nothing to do with the Greek region or the Greeks.

When the Greeks invaded the western part of the Asia Minor peninsula and the eastern Mediterranean, Aphrodite and the island of Cyprus were still in the hostile camp of the Greeks.

Eos, another goddess who had many human lovers in mythology, was also not a goddess of the Greeks and Greek regions, but a patron goddess worshiped by the enemies of the Greeks.

In the myths fabricated by the Mycenaeans, the local Greek goddesses were pure and self-loving, while the goddesses worshiped by the enemies of the Greeks were depraved in nature and had many human lovers.

no doubt--

If a goddess marries a human man, or even acts as a lover for a human man, she will be regarded as a fallen goddess in the eyes of gods and humans.

Of course Roy knew that if a goddess married a human man, she would be ridiculed and humiliated by both gods and humans.

So Pandora didn't want to marry him, and Roy wasn't really angry.

"Pandora, I can understand your thinking, but I will not give up letting you marry me."

Roy stretched out his hands to grab Pandora's shoulders, and then said with a serious expression.

"In order to take care of your feelings, I will not hold our wedding until I live to become a hero god."

The heroic god who became a god after death even lost his body. Of course, he couldn't marry Pandora, let alone have children with Pandora.

Therefore, Roy could hold a wedding with Pandora as a hero god if he lived to become a hero god.

"Roy..."

Pandora looked at Roy with wide eyes full of surprise, and finally took a deep breath and said.

"If it weren't for you, I would still be a destitute goddess completely suppressed by Europa. If you can really achieve unprecedented achievements and live to become a heroic god, I will definitely marry you sincerely and share my eternal life with you."

After saying that, Pandora took the initiative to bring her cherry lips closer to bite Roy.

This was the first time Roy had close contact with the goddess.

An indescribable feeling instantly hit Roy's brain, making Roy almost lost in the ocean of pleasure.

Roy felt that his reason was like this nameless island under his feet.

Although surrounded by endless sea water, it was never submerged by the sea.

After an unknown amount of time, Roy and Pandora reluctantly separated, and Pandora, with a blushing face, lowered her head and said.

"Let's go back to Donia City now!"

"Well..."

Roy recalled the wonderful feeling just now and agreed to Pandora's proposal without hesitation.

The two left the cave and came outside. Seeing that the rainstorm had stopped and only the strong wind was still blowing on the sea, Roy walked behind Pandora and hugged her waist and said.

"Will this affect your wings? If it does, I'll get in front of you."

"Hold tight!"

Pandora grabbed Roy's hands at her waist and warned him seriously.

"If you don't hold me tight and fall into the sea, I can't save you because I'm a sky god who can't swim."

After saying that, a pair of black wings appeared on Pandora's back.

As Pandora vibrated her wings, the two of them instantly left the ground and flew hundreds of meters high.

After confirming the direction of Donia City, Pandora took Roy to Donia City at an amazing speed.

Roy finally understood why Pandora was worried about falling into the sea.
