I was a priest in the city-state era

Witnessing Roy's miracles with his own eyes, Semiramis had to believe that Roy was indeed no longer human.

"Now that you have become a god, can you still be with us humans?"

"sure!"

Roy explained with a smile.

"I am now a human god between humans and gods, which is very different from a real god. Not only can I be with you, but I can also continue to be the emperor of the Athenian Empire."

Semiramis couldn't help but said with his eyes shining.

"Then the child I give birth to now will be a demigod with divine power from birth?"

"I also want to know the answer to this question. It seems we should put it into practice."

After saying that, Roy picked up Semiramis in a princess hug and walked to her queen's palace.

the next day.

Loy, who took all of Semiramis's body and mind as his own, played the role of a caring husband.

While enjoying breakfast with Semiramis, Roy finally made his request.

"Dear Semiramis, I have an important task for you - I hope you can enshrine me as the sun god Phaethon in Sumer and let me be worshiped by the Sumerians."

After hearing Roy's request, Semiramis said with a solemn expression.

"My dear, do you want to compete with the goddess Inanna for the Sumerian region?"

Roy immediately shook his head and said.

"The goddess Inanna is the goddess of Venus, and I am the sun god. The Sumerians worship the sun god Phaethon, which will not have much impact on the goddess Inanna. I will first let you and Andromeda be in your The territory is dedicated to the sun god Phaethon because in your territory, the original sun gods have been driven away by me, and the goddesses Aphrodite and Inanna are not sun goddesses. "

Semiramis was convinced by Roy's words, nodded and said.

"Dear! Larsa City was originally a city protected by the sun god Utu. I will worship you in Larsa City first and make you the sun god who protects Larsa City. If the goddess Inanna objects-"

"If Inanna objects, I will negotiate with her personally."

After completing the layout of the Mesopotamia, Roy did not go to the Egyptian and Hittite areas.

Because there is really no sun god in the Mesopotamia.

There is really a sun goddess Sekhmet in the Egyptian region, and there is a sun goddess Alina in the Hittite region.

If Roy wants to use his face to deal damage, he will definitely arouse strong opposition from Sekhmet and Alina.

So Roy's plan was to first worship the sun god Phaethon in areas where there was no sun god.

When his strength is strong enough to suppress these powerful sun goddesses, Roy can force these sun goddesses to accept Roy and be worshiped with them.

city ​​of athens.

Even if the emperor of the Athenian Empire died, the heart of the Athenian Empire still continued to prosper in the past.

1599 BC.

December.

A rare cold snap hit, covering the city with snowflakes.

The Athenians who were busy in the cold wind and winter snow were all eager for the heat of the sun to dispel the severe cold.

boom--

A blazing white-gold flame suddenly appeared over the city of Athens.

"Athenians, your emperor has returned from the resurrection."

With the majestic declaration, Roy tried his best to activate his divine power, letting his body bloom with endless light and heat to dispel the cold wind and melt the ice and snow.

The Athenians who raised their heads after hearing Roy's announcement saw a scene they would never forget - a second sun appeared in the sky.

The heat of the second sun, Loy, dispelled the cold wind, melted the ice and snow, and allowed the Athenians to feel the warmth of the sun again.

Acropolis.

royal palace.

Procne and Philomela also heard Roy's announcement.

The two of them ran outside to the palace courtyard and looked at the second sun in the sky with suspicion.

"Sister, that was Brother Roy's voice just now!"

"We can't hear it wrong at the same time. It was indeed brother Roy's voice just now."

Under the gazes of Procne and Philomela, the second sun slowly fell from the sky and soon landed in the palace courtyard.

After Roy converged the divine light and flame, Roy's figure appeared in front of Procne and Philomela.

"I'm back!"

Looking at Roy with a bright smile, tears instantly fell from the cheeks of Procne and Philomela.

"Brother Roy——"

"Honey--"

The two sisters ran to Roy at the same time, and then threw themselves into Roy's arms.

Roy couldn't hide his excitement and hugged the two of them hard.

"I'm sorry I made you cry again."

After lying in Roy's arms and crying for a while, Philomela suddenly said.

"Brother Roy, you smell like other women."

"Well--"

Roy explained with some guilt.

"After I was resurrected, I first went to Andromeda and Semiramis to fulfill my responsibilities as a husband."

"Brother Roy hasn't just been resurrected - then why didn't you come to me and my sister first? Are we not as good as Andromeda and Semiramis in brother Roy's heart?"

Roy knew that a thousand words of explanation would not be as useful as actual actions.

So Roy didn't explain, just picked up Procne and Philomela and walked to their bedroom.

the next day.

When the sun rises three poles.

Procne and Philomela have been completely put to sleep by Roy.

Roy came to the palace hall alone and checked various materials to understand the current situation of the Athenian Empire.

Although the Athenian Empire still maintained superficial unity after Roy's death, Queen Nefer of Egypt and Queen Hatepuna of the Hittite region no longer accepted orders from the city of Athens.

The many queens who ruled other regions may really have no ambition, or they may be waiting for Nefer and Hatepuna to become the first to come forward.

The only thing that made Roy feel relieved was that these young widows were all widows for themselves.

"What's going on?"

The voice of the goddess Metis suddenly appeared in the hall.

The next moment!

Metis appeared in the center of the hall as a human girl.

Roy looked at the expressionless Metis and said with a bright smile on his face.

"As you can see, I have been resurrected as the sun god."

After taking a serious look at Roy, Metis said with a dissatisfied expression.

"Do you trust other goddesses more than me?"

"Should I trust you the most?"

"I can do the same for you as other goddesses can do for you. If you become a hero god with my help, I can allow you to be my brother."

"But I don't want to be your brother or subordinate god."

Roy stood up from the throne and walked to Metis step by step.

"Dear Metis, when I first met you, I knew that this was a world where gods really existed, and I had the goal of becoming an immortal god. I kept using war to expand the territory of the Athenian Empire in order to become a god like you. The vast territory conquered by the Athenian Empire was the price I paid for exchanging interests with other goddesses. I didn't choose you because I knew that you only wanted me to be your subordinate god and didn't want me to be a threat to you."
