Chapter 77 Star Judgment
'Ring of obliteration!"
The ring of light with a body of ebony gold flew out, meeting the starry sky monster that Astraeus had transformed into, like a round of black suns, locking onto the enemy as the Ring of Mendacity hovered above his head, the Wyvern carrying the black power of resentment spreading out.
'Ah!!!" Astraeus shook his head violently, as if he heard countless spiteful voices cursing in his ears, and an uncontrollable feeling of weakness surged up. He realized with horror that his divine power was continuously falling, and the original Lord God level deity, under the curse of this bizarre thing, had fallen below his original divine power rank, dropping to the peak of a First Class God.
The difference between the peak of the first class gods and the main god level was not just a little bit.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Astraeus' body erupted with a burst of purple starlight, and with a twist of his body, he disappeared into the void, wanting to escape from here.
But when he reappeared from the void, he was shocked to find that he hadn't been teleported away and was still in the same place.
'Your Highness, if you want to leave, you still have to ask if I agree first." The goddess was wearing a smile, and a transparent crystal in her hand was emitting a faint glow.
'Spatial Origin! How could you possibly possess a spatial origin!" Astraeus exclaimed, this time he was really panicked, this space had already been blocked by the other party, unless the other party nodded his head, he would not be able to escape from here.
Astraeus broke away from the form of the Star Beast in a burst of starlight and changed back to his godly appearance, the godly robe on his body had long been shattered, his hair was messy, and the palm of his left hand was already missing, he looked very lousy.
This god who was unbeatable just now, at this moment, he even knelt straight down in front of Hebe, his eyes showed supplication, his face was full of remorse: 'Exalted goddess, incomparable Hebe, I already know my fault, please forgive my sins, I swear that from now on I will never persecute any goddess again."
'...... Whether I forgive you or not is not up to me, this matter should be left to Eos to decide, you come with me back to the main temple, the god queen will judge your offense according to the victim's will." Hebe looked at the god in front of her eyes flashed with disgust, for his bullshit she did not believe it at all.
'Good, good ...... I'll go back with you ...... to hell!" Astraeus face was hideous, the god staff in his hand had turned into a spear at some point, starlight filled, sharp and unrivaled, every strike, has the power of a star.
'Uh ......"
Astraeus looked down at the hand that pierced through his heart, bony and slender and white, but not the hand of a goddess.
He turned his head incredulously, behind him was a handsome god with ebony feathers, he smiled faintly and pulled out his godhood, so cloudy as if he was used to killing, the god of the swarms, Astraeus, collapsed with endless unwillingness.
'My Lord, presenting you with the origin of the stars."
With a single strike, Pakos killed Astraeus, who was planning to sneak up on Hebe, and took his God of the Swarming Stars and handed it over to Hebe.
Due to the right of judgment given by Hera and the fact that Pakos was essentially one with Hebe, he did not suffer the backlash of deicide.
But the fall of a Lord God level deity, I'm afraid that it will cause quite a storm in the Divine Mountain, it's really a bit tricky ......
'Pakos, the spatial blockade of this divine realm is about to dissipate, so hurry back to the Underland and go to Goddess Nyx and ask her to ......"
Hebe pondered for a while and instructed in Pakos's ear.
Pakos listened carefully to the main body's instructions and secretly nodded, then he used the authority of reincarnation and returned to the Underland, the black-haired god of the underworld spread his ebony feathers and flew non-stop in the direction of Tartarus.
After Pakos left, Hebe also waved his hand to remove the blockade of this space, and she grabbed Astraeus' body and returned to the divine mountain from the starry sky.
The moment Hebe stepped on the mountain, she felt the heavy atmosphere on Mount Olympus. The divine light of the main temple shone brightly, but at this moment, an ominous aura full of destruction and killing hung over it.
Hebe pushed the door and entered, and saw that all ten main gods other than herself were already seated on top of their divine seats, and there were many other gods in the great hall.
The gods who were still spreading their faith on the earth had returned to Mount Olympus at some point. The gods looked at Hebe who entered the temple, and saw the corpse of Astraeus in her hand, the expressions on their faces were colorful, some were frightened, some were worried, some were angry, but more than that, they were unbelievable.
The Goddess of Life, Hebe, dared to openly kill a god!
Moreover, the one she killed was not someone else, but the brother of Perseus, the god of destruction, and Pallas, the god of killing, Astraeus, who ruled the stars! A god of Lord God level greatness.
At this moment, he was being held in the hands of this goddess, with a big hole in his chest, his divine blood solidified, his breath completely gone, and even the stars in the sky looked dim because of the fall of the god.
All signs indicate that Astraeus has indeed fallen.
This was a big deal, knowing that on the God Mountain, deicide was a felony.
'The great king of the gods, the controller of the laws of the divine race, the goddess of life, Hebe, has openly challenged your authority and killed a main god level deity, may I ask who else on this Olympus has the right to judge the gods besides you? Goddess Hebe is blatantly overstepping her authority and must be punished!"
In the middle of the great hall, a god walked out, he was tall, with a handsome face, a pair of dark red eyes somewhat similar to Ares, suffused with a thick murderous aura and madness.
Pallas, the god of killing, the fall of his brother made him furious, at the authorization of his brother, Perseus, the god of destruction, came out to point out Hebe's crimes, requesting Zeus, the god king, to judge this goddess and avenge his own brother's death.
'Zeus, Hebe is not overstepping her authority, it is I who granted her the right to judge Astraeus." Right at this moment, Hera on the throne of the goddess queen spoke up, the white-armed goddess with the red skirt flaunting a haughty demeanor, looking at the shouting Pallas under the stage coldly said, 'Your brother, the god of the stars, Astraeus, disregarding the will of a goddess, forcibly entered the temple of the goddess of the dawn, Eos, and took possession of her, and also committed atrocity because of her unbearable insults and resistance. Having committed such a crime, it is my duty as the protector of women to seek justice for this goddess!"
Speaking here Hera's magnificent purple eyes narrowed, looking at Pallas with a cold intent, 'Or does the great and noble Pallas think that Astraeus' behavior of forcibly possessing the goddess was not wrong? Is a goddess inherently supposed to be subservient and inferior to a male god?"
Hera's words, undoubtedly aroused the resonance of the goddesses present, the goddesses on Mount Olympus, that is, Hestia, Athena, Artemis three who made the virgin goddess oath, usually can't help but suffer from the harassment of some male gods, not to mention other goddesses, there are quite a number of them who had once been robbed of their marriages, and that kind of feeling, no one is more clear than them.
Hera was worthy of being the reigning Divine Queen for many years, and with a single sentence, she placed Pallas on the opposite side of all the goddesses.
The goddesses present looked at Pallas with unfavorable faces, and that icy cold sight made this god who usually indulged in killing and lawlessness couldn't help but cower a bit.
'Your Majesty the God Queen, my brother didn't mean it that way, it's true that Astraeus was wrong to have offended His Highness Eos, but even if he was in the wrong first, by apprehending him and returning him to the God's Mountain, the wise King of the Gods will naturally give the most just judgment. For His Highness Hebe to privately kill Astraeus like this, causing a Lord God level deity to fall, I believe that it is something that is unacceptable to both us as brothers and the Gods on the God Mountain."
Seeing that his brother couldn't be relied upon, the husband of the Starry Night Goddess Asteria, the Destruction God Perseus, had no choice but to step forward and speak.
This god was much smarter than his brother who only knew how to kill, explicitly and implicitly saying that Hebe used lynching to challenge the authority of Zeus, and also putting Hebe's move to kill a god on the table to say that if she could kill Astraeus today, who knows if she would kill any of the gods in the room tomorrow?
Perseus' words undoubtedly also received the support of the gods present, especially those who had once engaged in the act of bride kidnapping, looking at Hebe, the female god-killer, with eyes containing fear and defensiveness.
'......"
Hera frowned at Perseus, the other party's words let her for a time no way to refute, frankly speaking, after learning that his daughter Hebe even killed the other party, she was also really shocked.
Although Hera used the authority of Zeus to himself, gave Hebe the right to judge the other side, but she originally only thought that Hebe at most will only teach the other side a lesson, arrested back to the mountain of the gods to judge the punishment, directly will be put to death behavior is really in her unexpected.
'Perseus has a point, it's just a good time, it's not like Eos hasn't had other lovers before, why make such a fuss this time, a small punishment is fine, goddesses really shouldn't wield too much power and act so impulsively."
