Odysseus pretended to be a God-Punisher and sneaked into the cathedral.

No one knows when he came here, what the purpose of coming here, and no one knows why he is so excited at the moment.

"We must rely on our conscience when speaking or doing anything," Odysseus said with scars on his face, "We are friends, friends who have been born and died. I treat you with sincerity. How did you treat me?

You have woven countless charges on me. Since you came to Romlu Kingdom, I have been hunted down. Every day, every night, I am fighting bloody battles for survival. In order to kill me, you can do everything you can!”

Manda said angrily: "It's okay to reason, don't defame my innocence!"

"Aren't you doing these?"

"I did it!" Manda straightened her chest.

"Then why are you talking about innocence?"

"You said we are friends, this is to defame my innocence!"

"You..." Odysseus gritted his teeth, "You are not only poisonous in your heart, but also in your mouth. I know that the oath is worthless, but I can tell you clearly that everything that happened in the King Capital, including what is happening now, has nothing to do with me."

"Of course I know that it has nothing to do with you," Manda looked out the window and said, "feel the power of this skill. The magic array in the cathedral is so powerful, and the skills that have been weakened by the magic array are still unbearable. Even I almost forgot what to do next."

"You may not realize one thing, your opponent may have less than 10% of the strength," Odysseus said.

"Realize it, I realize that the other person might have just moved his fingers, and I can realize that fear of being completely dominated."

Odysseus nodded and said, "So you should understand a truth that this power does not belong to the mortal world. I dare not mention His name, but you should know who your opponent is."

Manda said: "I know, I should have thought of it long ago."

Hearing the conversation between the two, Leo looked confused: "What are you talking about? What does not belong to the mortal world?"

Manda replied: "The woman of the new king Tikas does not belong to the mortal world, He is the goddess of wisdom on Mount Olympia."

"Athena!" Leo exclaimed, "How could He come to the capital?"

Manda sighed: "It's been a long story. He should have been near Seven Star Mountain. For some reason, he suddenly appeared beside Tikas. He tampered with Tikas' memory and made Tikas love her until she was devoted to becoming the queen today."

Longgesen frowned and said, "But you told me before that she was just a second-order believer of Poseidon."

Manda said: "Athena took over Poseidon's authority. He could easily disguise himself as a believer of any class, or even as Poseidon's deity. I focused all my attention on Odysseus, and I could not think of this at that time."

"What is His purpose?" Leo still couldn't understand, "The true God came to the mortal world just to be the queen?"

Athena was forced to fall to the mortal world. Only Manda knew the reason, and Manda would not disclose it to anyone.

But everything Athena did was not to be a queen, and the glory and wealth in the world were worthless in His eyes.

He targeted Tikas in order to gain the faith of a kingdom, and Tikas happened to have the opportunity to take over the power of the kingdom. Of course, the premise of all this is to overthrow Manda.

"He can kill you directly," said Longgesen. "When he was in Seven Stars, he had a chance."

"That's because I still have value in use. Without me, there would be no Tikas' status today. With today's status, I would be redundant."

“So He wants to establish prestige for Tikas through war?”

"War is the best way to establish prestige for rulers. Whether it is the war between Romlu and Canglang, or the war between the king and the God-Punishment Church, as long as you help Tikas win a war, you can win the support of the kingdom, so I cannot let the kingdom be involved in the war anyway."

"When you are alone in the palace, He still has the opportunity to kill you. At that time, Tikas was already the king."

Manda cannot answer this question, and Longerson does not understand the relationship between Manda and Hermes.

If Athena wants to kill Manda, she must have a head-on conflict with Hermes. He obviously does not have this strength now.

So He chose to endure, deceived Manda and Hermes.

Fortunately, Manda woke up in time. After receiving the news from Leo, he immediately reported the situation to Hermes.

At this moment, Hermes and God Pan were watching the cathedral in the sky. They were very close to the cathedral and only had a barrier to the earth.

Hermes was very satisfied with Manda's ability to comprehend: "Now he should understand why I made a second contract."

Pan Shen said in surprise: "You have known that Athena has arrived at the capital of Rome Road?"

"I don't know, I always thought He was still in the wilderness. This time I was really deceived by her. I made a second contract to prevent Cronos," Hermes said with a serious expression. "Manda has not yet established a firm foothold in the country of Rome, and he has no experience in ruling a kingdom. In Qixing Mountain, his family is absolutely loyal to him. In the capital, there is only the exchange of interests. Once the war involves too much energy, it is easy to be stabbed by others in the back. So I asked Manda to try my best to avoid war and prevent Sertaiko from taking advantage of it, but I didn't expect that Athena would use Tikas to take action first."

Pan Shen suddenly realized: "Don't let Romlu Kingdom get involved in the war, because he is afraid that he will make a wedding dress for others?"

“This is just one reason.”

“There are other reasons?”

Hermes nodded, “This is the best way to please Gaia.”

...

The pressure of skills frequently came, and most of the Divine Punishers completely forgot to sing the lyrics. The chanting sound became smaller and smaller, and the power of the magic circle became weaker and weaker. The ministers kept approaching the cathedral.

Longgesen reminded him: "If a minister dies at the entrance of the church, or a God-punished person dies at the hands of the minister, this matter will not end."

Leo was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. The magic circle had been used to the limit, but the power of mortals could not compete with the gods after all.

Odysseus said: "As long as you are willing to believe me, I can create a barrier for you, and no one can get close to the cathedral, even the gods."

Manda shook her head and said, "Your barrier consumes too much and you can't last long, but Athena has time to wear off with us."

Odysseus shrugged his eyebrows and said, "My skills have improved a lot. As long as I have enough food and can even last for a few days, I don't think He will have such good patience."

"I think He has," Manda frowned, "and He can do other things, He can control Tikas to massacre the God-Punisher in the city."

Odysseus was stunned: "When did you care about the life and death of the God-Punisher?"

Leo said angrily: "What are these words?"

Manda said: "I must care about the life and death of everyone. If a large number of God-Punishers are killed, the Roman Kingdom will be equivalent to going to war with the God-Punishment Church. I am the sacred Archbishop appointed by Kreun. As soon as the war begins, I will become the enemy of the kingdom. Tikas will successfully steal the power of the kingdom, and Athena will become the only legal belief of the Roman Kingdom."

Odysseus smiled bitterly and said, "Don't think about such a long-term thing first. Think about how you should leave alive? You don't dare to fight, and you can't defend. You might as well run away from the underworld when the magic circle is not broken!"

Manda looked at Odysseus: "How do you know I dare not fight?"

"How to fight? Please tell me how to defeat the gods?"

Longgesen cleaned up his clothes, held his sword tightly and said, "When will I do it? I can't wait!"

Odysseus said angrily: "Don't say such a ridiculous thing! You have no idea how small a mortal is in front of the gods! As long as He appears before us and just glances at us, we may turn into ashes!"

Manda said: "You have hit the key to victory, as long as He appears before us."

Odysseus said in surprise: "How do you say this?"

"We don't need to defeat Him, we just need to let His feet off the ground, even in a moment."

This is the tactic Hermes formulated for Manda.

"You must look carefully," Hermes repeatedly reminded Pan Shen, "As long as Athena's feet leave the ground, we will immediately take her life."

Pan Shin said: "He has not much power left, so it is not difficult to kill Him. I am just afraid that Gaia will blame us."

"Manda had stopped a war before, and Gaia was very satisfied with it. As long as I didn't kill Athena on the ground, I would definitely get Gaia's forgiveness."

But the key to the problem is how to get Athena's feet off the ground? Until now, Queen Zora has not appeared in front of everyone.

Manda said, "I have to find a way to lure him out. I will go out and try it first. His target is me, and at least he should give me a look."

Longgesen said: "You can't take risks. Things will arise because of me. As long as I show up on my own initiative, the battle will end. If Athena doesn't want the battle to end, He will definitely appear to stop me."

Odysseus shook his head and said, "You have thought things too simple. The god may not necessarily attack you personally. He has not yet reached the point where he must kill you. Your rash appearance will only escalate the conflict."

Manda praised, "What he said makes sense. When it comes to taking action and killing oneself, I think this is the attitude that the gods should have towards traitors!"

Odysseus looked at Manda and said, "You want me to be bait for you? Why?"

“By the friendship between us.”

"Don't swear blood!" Odysseus said angrily, "What friendship does I have with you?"

During the argument, Leo suddenly spoke: "I'll go."

Longgesen frowned and said, "This matter had nothing to do with you, so why should you die?"

Leo shook his head and said, "This matter has a lot to do with me. I don't care about what festivals you have with Athena, but I must stop this war. I cannot let innocent God-punishers and civilians bleed for it."
