Chapter 45 A New Era
As the golden light gradually faded... the gruesome wound on his wife's neck had completely disappeared.
Moreover, the hidden injuries his wife had sustained from years of hard work were completely healed by the holy spring water, and her skin became smoother and her hair softer...
She seemed to have become younger.
Immediately afterwards, the wife's body began to tremble slightly...
Immediately, the wife opened her eyes wide and exclaimed in surprise:
"Yara—"
The words had barely left his mouth.
Only then did his wife slowly realize that the surroundings had changed; the temple had collapsed and the tower had overturned.
The entire city of Argos was plunged into chaos...
And Yara stayed by her side the whole time.
Seeing this, Yara embraced his wife tightly, not caring about the dirt, pressing his face against hers as if he would never be separated from her again. Tears welled up in his eyes, and he said in a trembling voice:
"Sarah...Sarah..."
"It's alright now..."
"It's all over now..."
The wife was still in a state of panic, but when Yara embraced her, her heart instantly calmed down...
She gently stroked her husband's face, wiping away the blood...
Recalling the scenes from her memory, she couldn't help but choke up:
"I thought I'd never see you again, Yara..."
"Shall we...go home?"
"Return to Canaan."
Yara nodded, his tears still wet on his face, and said through gritted teeth:
"good..."
"Let's go home..."
And just then...
The voice of the Lord of the Crows rang out at an inopportune moment—
[Arahmesah...]
I have some bad news to tell you...
Yara was taken aback. He looked to the side, at the Lord of the Ravens, whom only he could see.
The Lord of the Crows spoke—
[When you fought Ares...]
[The pain you endured exceeded the limits of your soul...]
[He was wounded again by Ares' spear...]
Your soul is shattered...
[You're about to die.]
A feeling of confusion and fear rose within him...
He asked sadly:
"O messenger of the Lord..."
"Tell me, how much longer do I have to live?"
[ten years.]
Yara was stunned again, then a sense of relief and joy welled up from the bottom of his heart, and he smiled:
"That's enough..."
"Ten years is enough!"
"Seeing my child born, and then seeing my child grow up..."
What more could I ask for?
[At that time you will ascend to heaven...]
[The commander bestows this upon you—]
[The position of an angel.]
After saying that.
The Lord of the Ravens, with a golden halo above his head, transformed into countless black feathers and vanished before Yara's eyes...
Yara went to the spot where the Lord of the Ravens had disappeared, and in his heart he fervently praised:
"God is great..."
The wife stood by, puzzled, for she could see nothing. But she followed her husband's example, bowing her head towards the rising sun.
It's as if they're praying for some hope... and for the future.
...
Heaven.
The flat clouds rippled slightly.
The crow flew back excitedly.
He looked very happy.
It flapped its wings and came to Yahweh's side, saying like a child showing off:
"Lord, look how amazing I am!"
"Even the gods of this world cannot defeat me!"
Yahweh, who always sat high in heaven, observing the mortal world from God's perspective, sighed and shook his head, saying:
"Come on..."
"You can't even beat Zeus."
Just now, when Zeus and the raven were fighting in the air, Yahweh had a clear view of it all.
Ravens were basically being chased and beaten by Zeus.
Finally, it was Yahweh who used a single drop of water from the Fountain of Wisdom, amplifying the backlash, to pierce Zeus's spirit.
This allowed the crow to cleverly win the battle.
If Yahweh were to actually let the raven and Zeus fight, he estimated that the raven would soon become roast duck.
But...on closer inspection, we can't really blame the crow...
Zeus is a rather supermodel-like figure in Greek mythology.
In legend, the Olympian gods were in a tug-of-war. The gods were on one end of the rope, and Zeus on the other. But even with all their strength, they could not pull Zeus over...
To put it simply, Zeus and the gods are like the difference between a Border Collie and a dog...
Of course, it might also have some Teddy bear mixed in.
The raven was able to hold its own against Zeus for quite some time.
So it seems that the crow's strength might not be as weak as it imagined?
Using Zeus as the unit of measurement, he can be considered a standard "god-king".
Therefore, the crow can be regarded as a "half-step god-king level".
Moreover, the raven is actually a remnant soul, and its strength has not reached its peak. If it is true, as the raven says, that it can regain its soul... not to mention defeating Zeus, it can at least hold its own against Zeus.
"Oh, Lord, there's something else good..."
The crow seemed to have thought of something and said...
Then, it pulled out a large number of soul-like things from its feathers... a great many, almost a hundred or so.
It shuffled along with its tiny paws to Yahweh, then handed over the soul it had been clutching in its hand, and said happily:
"Lord, I see many lost souls in that city..."
"Aren't you just looking for some souls to experiment with?"
"So I brought them all back."
Yahweh was taken aback, then reached out and took the souls into his hand.
Looking down, he felt a pang of pity and shook his head, saying:
"These are all children harmed by the powerful and wealthy in Argos..."
"They endured much hardship throughout their lives..."
Then Yahweh looked at the clay statues of angels beside the holy spring and sighed, saying:
"Let me wash away the tragic marks of their past..."
"The children have been reborn in heaven..."
They will become—
"Angel..."
...
It's all over.
After calming his wife down, Yara decided to seek revenge against King Argos...
He searched the temple and eventually found a body that had committed suicide...
King Argos committed suicide.
During the time when Yara was fighting Ares, the god of war...
Dicttis, Pan, and old Tyr were wounded and fell into a coma in that close, mythical battle. Only young Perseus huddled in a corner, watching over his father... and young Perseus's eyes were always filled with self-blame and guilt.
Fortunately, although Old Tyr and Pan were injured, their injuries were not serious, much less severe than the wounds they had suffered in earlier wars. By the next morning, they had gradually regained consciousness...
Looking at the ruins of the temple and the collapsed bronze tower...
The group remained silent, utterly shocked.
Pan and Tyr were the first to faint, knocked unconscious by the high priest using a magical weapon bestowed upon them by Hera.
Dicttis, on the other hand, witnessed Yara smash the statue of Ares with a single punch... and when he later fought the true form of the God of War, he had already passed out.
So when Pan and old Tyr asked what happened next...
Dixtis simply replied:
"Ara Messiah defeated Ares, the god of war..."
"What?"
"That war god didn't even utter a sound before Yara shattered him with a single punch..."
"Oh, God above..."
"I don't know what happened after that, but it seems that Zeus was also defeated by the Messiah."
The two were so shocked they couldn't even speak.
The group discussed the matter with great seriousness.
The main character has arrived.
Covered in blood, Yara walked up to the group and spoke to them:
"Let's go."
Pan and Old Tyr were taken aback and asked:
Where to?
Yara's eyes flashed with murderous intent as she said:
"Purge this city..."
"Kill all those beasts..."
"Then, I need Dicttis, in the name of Prince Seriforth…"
"To succeed the Argos royal family—"
"To become the new king here."
Now it was Dicttis's turn to be stunned, but considering this was the Messiah's arrangement...
He'll just have to accept the loss and take advantage of the situation.
The group walked out of the temple.
Old Tyre, nearing the end of his life, couldn't help but look back...
The magnificent Temple of Argos is now in ruins...
The bronze tower on the back mountain, used to imprison the princess, has already collapsed...
He seemed to see the end of an era...
The era of the King of Argos has come to an end...
Then, he turned back to look at the backs of the young people in front of him, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
And a brand new era...
It seems that the curtain has already been raised.
