Seeing that William agreed with her without hesitation, Athena, who had been curtsting and saluting, her face improved, she stood up straight, took a few steps forward and hugged William's arm and said,
"Ms. Sebring told me that the barbarian king threatened to burn the chief priest of her temple to force Sebring to come. When he failed, he actually burned the priest to death.
Later, when another priest was forced to reveal the whereabouts of the Bow of Epirus, the priest had no choice but to cut out his own tongue."
These words made William narrow his eyes, but he didn't think there was much of a problem. The barbarian king was obviously here to cut off the foundation of the gods, so it was normal to use any means necessary, and he didn't have much affection for Sabine anyway.
However, Sabine did not dare to come, and it was Zeus who had to bear the responsibility of saving her own priest.
In the entire Olympus pantheon, apart from Zeus, only Poseidon, the King of the Sea, could leave the divine realm at will and enter and interfere in the affairs of mortals.
Of course, there are also people who rely on Zeus's favor and ignore this rule.
But Cybring is not the real crown prince of Arthenis and Heaven, Ares, and William, the new god-king, has just come to power, so Cybring does not dare to be the first person.
Seeing that William didn't express anything, Athena secretly thought that William was cruel. At the same time, the hand holding his arm couldn't help but tightened and continued, "And the barbarian king also captured four priestesses from the Temple of Sabine.
And he imprisoned them in the belly of a giant bull made of bronze, and once again threatened to light a pile of fire in the belly of the bronze bull if they did not hand over the bow of Epirus."
William, who was originally looking at Sabine and the Ocean Titan guards who were kneeling to him in the ocean, heard this and turned his head to look at Athena.
Seeing Athena nodding solemnly, William's fist made a "crack, creak" sound, and a flash of anger flashed in his eyes, but he knew in his heart that as the God King, he could never accept threats from anyone.
It cannot be said that if someone burns the priests of the gods, the gods must immediately come to rescue them.
Otherwise, it won't be long before those God's Titans who are dissatisfied with him, or plan to kill him and take the throne of God King themselves, will definitely take advantage of this and create various traps against William.
This matter is just like no government will compromise with terrorists. The harm of a compromise is definitely greater than the harm of casualties caused by forcibly rescuing people.
Of course, the person who said this can definitely stand and talk without pain in the back. Try it if the hostage is your relative.
Moreover, people are selfish. William silently waved his hand to Sebelin in the distant sea and motioned for her to leave with her guards.
Then he said to Athena, "I am the King of Gods. Unless something happens to you, Arthenis, or my other relatives, there are some rules that I must abide by and must abide by.
When the barbarian king releases the sealed Titan, you have the final say whether his soul will be sent to the underworld and tortured forever or his soul will be destroyed."
Athena was stunned for a moment, and then reminded her with disapproval, "But if this matter spreads, it will definitely affect mortals' belief in us."
"Then you go tell Sabine and let her save her priest, or" William looked at Athena, squinting his eyes and said, "you can try to go against my will and see if I will punish you.
”.
"Huh, this is a man." Athena let go of William's arm angrily, "You are just like my father, a selfish and heartless bastard."
Looking at Athena who returned directly to Mount Olympus, William smiled. Arthenis was being clever, but she never tested him on issues of principle.
But Athena was different. She was smart but stubborn, or that was her character. She would always challenge the authority of her father and husband without noticing.
And if Athena couldn't think of William's worries, then she would be called the goddess of wisdom in vain.
Athena, who returned to the God Realm, felt unhappy at the same time, but she thought of what William had said, and she couldn't get angry if she wanted him to show favoritism unless it was a relative.
Moreover, this test made her feel that William was really like an enhanced version of Zeus, which immediately made Athena understand a little bit about how she should handle the relationship between herself and William in the future.
It's a pity that Athena would never have imagined how shameless and unprincipled a person like William would be, except for a little bottom line.
To him, people he doesn't know and have no friendship with are irrelevant. If he is interested, he will not care about the rules. If he is not interested, as long as it does not happen in front of him, he will never save him.
Otherwise, if so many slaves die every day in the Olympus God Realm and you don't care about it, then you can just be a god king and a nanny.
In the main world, so many people disappear every year around the world, but he has not shown any sign of it.
In the entire universe and in the multi-dimensional world, countless living beings die every second. Can you handle it?
To put it ten thousand steps back, there is no clause in the rules of heaven set by Zeus that prohibits people from issuing decrees in their own temple.
Even if Sabine is afraid that William, the new god-king, will be punished, can't she let the priests evacuate before the barbarians arrive at her temple?
All things considered, this matter is obviously a temptation.
Mentally, I sensed that Theseus had left the lighthouse and walked back. William transformed back into the old man, living on a dark wooden stick and sitting on the edge of the cliff platform.
"Old guy, you're up so late, why are you sitting here watching?"
Theseus walked up to William, looked curiously at the wavy sea, and kindly reminded him, "The thunder flashed just now, aren't you afraid that it was Zeus who was traveling, and then the god was convicted of spying on the god king?"
Listening to Theseus' obviously teasing tone, William smiled and asked, "You don't believe in God?"
"What's the benefit of trusting them?"
Theseus sat on the ground and was silent for a while before saying, "When my mother was sick, I prayed to any god whose name I knew to save my mother.
But it turned out that for seven months, my mother endured constant pain, with infinite love for me, reluctance and worry, and left me when I was only six years old.
You said, why should I believe in the gods?"
"Hehe", William chuckled a few times. On this point, everyone in the world is the same.
Faith is a very mysterious thing. Different people you encounter in life will definitely view faith differently. Even if you didn’t believe it one second ago, you will suddenly think of something, see something, or encounter something the next second.
Believed.
But it is difficult for those who ask for help from the gods but cannot get it, or who see too much killing and live on the verge of death all the time.
Of course, there are also many people who believe again after escaping death.
However, if someone shows you the holy light that can save people in front of you that day, and tells you that you can learn it as long as you want to, 99% of people will believe it immediately.
After all, holy light magic and natural magic, which can cure diseases and save people, are definitely the best way to deceive people. Otherwise, if you read the legends and novels, isn't the God of Light always the most awesome and the one with the most followers?
