Chapter 68 The Bet

Moreover, Phoebe didn't think that was a big deal, it was just a battle of wills between young gods in order to maintain the honor of the mother goddess, not a deadly feud. After finishing his speech, Coeus swept another glance at the gods present and turned to inquire about his own daughter, Asteria, 'Asteria, my daughter who reigns over the starry night, did Hecate not come today?" Asteria smiled with embarrassment and softly explained with her father god, 'My wise and wise father god, since Hecate went to the Underworld to become a god of the underworld, you also know the situation there, she is really too busy to take time off, and she has already entrusted me to send the congratulatory gift to Artemis's temple." Hecate, the goddess of the Underworld Moon in the Underworld, the master of chance, magic, sorcery, and sorcery, was the daughter of Asteria, the goddess of the starry night, and Perses, the god of destruction. 'Well, tell her not to get too tired, the conditions in that part of the Underland are too grueling after all." For this granddaughter who had not needed her elders to worry about her at all since her birth, and was now firmly seated as the second-in-command of the Underland, Coeus was still very satisfied. 'Yes ......" Asteria was also helpless, this daughter of his own, her character was independent and strong, she was completely unable to intervene in her own affairs, so he simply let her be. 'Phoebe, that thing can start, the protagonist of this banquet is Artemis after all, can't let other gods steal her thunder." Long before he came, Coeus had already discussed with his wife, only grasping a third of the Origin was not enough for Artemis, they needed an opportunity to help Artemis seize the complete Moon Origin, so that in the future Artemis could be more certain when competing for the position of the Lord God. Once the twin gods of light ascended to the main god position together, then the status of their god of light lineage would naturally follow suit, and only then would he and his wife be able to sit steadily in this era where newborn gods were gradually replacing the old gods. The goddess of light, prophecy and crescent moon nodded, she held a golden cup and slowly walked to the center of the banquet, the god's immortality let this goddess even after endless years still maintains a young and delicate face, the only thing that can reveal a little bit of clues is her pair of baptism of the years, full of vicissitudes and wisdom of the eyes. The goddess loudly announced to the gods present, 'I, Phoebe, the holder of the crescent moon, born from the ancient light, on this joyous day, present the crescent moon authority in my hand as a gift to the goddess of the curved moon, the ever-holy Artemis!" With the goddess's words, a crescent moon goddess with a curved hook upward appeared in her hand, radiating a cool light. This homogenous power caused the light of the moon to uncontrollably emanate from both of the goddesses present, the curved moon goddess Artemis and the full moon goddess Selene. Selene, who was in the company of her own sister, the Dawn Goddess Eos, blushed, a bad feeling inexplicably welling up in her heart. 'My glorious grandmother, thank you for your gift." Artemis also reacted after a brief moment of surprise, she got up and walked to Phoebe, kneeling on one knee, receiving the Crescent Moon Godhead from her grandmother's hand and integrating it into herself. The goddess' body's lunar splendor grew even more, and a surge of divine power reached the peak of a First Class God. Artemis stood up, feeling the flourishing greatness within her body, she opened her gray-blue eyes, and as if she had made some sort of determination, she walked straight to the Full Moon Goddess Selene and spoke. 'Selene of the full moon, you and I both know clearly that the origin of the moon should be consummated, there can only be one moon god in this world, in the witness of the ubiquitous law, I use the entire moon and forest origin as a wager, and propose to you a divine battle of the origin." Artemis' words caused a clamor among the gods, even Coeus and Phoebe did not expect Artemis to suddenly make this request. '......" The gold wine cup in the hands of the full moon's Selene was pinched and deformed, and after a moment passed, a smile suddenly spread across her elegant face. 'In the name of the Goddess of the Full Moon, and under the witness of the ubiquitous laws, I accept this bet." The curved moon goddess Artemis spoke out of turn at the banquet, having just acquired the crescent moon authority from the gift of her grandmother Phoebe, and then let loose with the words that she had proposed an Origin Divine Battle to the full moon goddess Selene. The most staggering thing to the gods is that the full moon goddess, who has always been elegant and soft, and who was caught up in a romantic brain storm some time ago, even agreed to the bet. The crescent moon and the curved moon are both defective parts of the moon, and the two origins together don't even amount to half of the moon's authority, so Artemis also added her own forest goddess as a wager. So it seems that this goddess is not just a matter of willpower for this bet, but with the determination to succeed or die. If she won, Artemis would be able to obtain the authority of the full moon and become the only Moon Goddess of the Chaos World, and then she would break through to the Main God Rank without any obstacles. Even more, the full moon authority would echo with her Forest Godhead, the moon's divine power would promote the vigorous growth of the forest, and the forest spirits would form a tradition of worshipping the moon, and she would become the goddess of nature, the queen of the mountains, forests, and wild beasts. But if she fails, she will lose the power of the moon that her brother, father god, and grandmother have worked so hard to plan for her, and she will also lose her original forest godhood. The drop in her divine rank is only a part of the price she needs to bear, and the more serious consequence is that she will completely lose the qualification to compete for the position of the main god, as well as her father god's favor for her, and she can only be in the protection of her brother and mother for the rest of her life, and become the shadow of the sun. Artemis naturally know the stakes, also know that for the full moon authority of Selene, slowly is the best choice, but the gods for the last main god coveted let her heart began to anxious, she must be the fastest speed to the full moon authority to get hand, for the competition for the main god position only have absolute certainty! Although Zeus was dissatisfied with Artemis' self-interest, the bet had already been made, and under the witness of the law, he, as the king of the gods, could not forcefully interfere. Accompanied by the gods, the two goddesses came to the gods' arena, after the lesson of destroying the arena under the previous fight between Herb and Artemis, Zeus learned a lesson from the bitter experience, and ordered Hephaestus to make this huge building into a divine artifact, expanding the space inside thousands of times with the use of the array, and also engraved a defense array on the gods' grandstand, so that the gods wouldn't be affected by the fight when they were watching the battle. The gods sat in the grandstand. The gods were seated on the seats of the grandstand, and the nymphs were already very skillful in presenting the gods with fine wines and fresh fruits for them to enjoy. This sudden betting battle undoubtedly made the gods rekindle their fire, the life of a god was long and boring, so they were naturally excited to have a hilarious event to watch. 'Hub, my daughter, who do you think has a better chance of winning between the two of them?" Hera also couldn't help but whisper and discuss with her proudest daughter. 'Mother Goddess, in my opinion, the outcome is not really certain, both of these two goddesses are not simple characters." Herb's eyes hovered between Artemis and Selene, also unsure of who would actually win. Don't look at Artemis once lost to himself, but in fact the reason why she would lose that time, carelessness is the majority of the ingredients, this goddess in the beginning and Apollo can in the main god level of Hera under the persecution of the whole body to retreat and also took part of Hera's authority, naturally is some extraordinary in the body. And Selene, this goddess usually a elegant appearance, but can be in charge of the moon authority for many years, itself is an ancient Titan gods, how much backhand they are not clear. So the result of this struggle is really hard to determine the winner. Herb suddenly remembered, Apollo and his grandmother Phoebe both have prophetic priesthood, don't they? Wouldn't they be able to see the outcome of this duel? Apollo did in fact use his prophetic priesthood to peer into the future, but the results were less than favorable. This betting duel between Al and Selene was formed under the witness of the law, in order to ensure absolute fairness and impartiality, any external probing and interference was not permitted by the law, Apollo used all his strength, but it was as if that future was shrouded in a mist and could not be seen clearly. 'My grandmother, the goddess of light and prophecy, Al her ......" 'Don't worry, Apollo." Goddess Phoebe shook her head, signaling Apollo to let go of his heart, although her glimpse of the future was also blocked under the Laws, she was one of the twelve oldest Titan gods born of Gaia, the Mother of the Earth, and Uranus, the starry Uranus, and the prophetic priesthood had been held by her for countless years, and even with the Laws in the way she had vaguely glimpsed a glimpse of the future, and she had seen it, and Artemis, though woefully outmatched, had gained the victory gesture. The intelligent God of Light naturally knew what his grandmother meant, he was relieved and let go of his heart, it seemed that this bet, the final result was that Al won.
