Chapter 373 Persephone's Blessing

The Temple of Persephone in Thenaron Palace.

Before heading to Sparta, Roy came to this temple to prepare to receive the blessings and divine power given by the goddess Persephone.

Inside the temple supported by two rows of twelve stone pillars.

Roy walked deep into the temple, looked up at the statue of Persephone on the throne and said.

"Goddess Persephone! Now that you are the patron saint of the Kingdom of Athens, you should bestow your blessings and divine power on me, the King of Athens."

Upon hearing Roy's request, the statue of Persephone glowed with golden light.

The next moment!

The true form of the goddess Persephone appeared on the throne in the form of a human girl.

"You finally came."

Persephone jumped down from the throne, walked up to Roy and smiled.

"Although it is my obligation to bestow my blessings and divine power on the king, I have many kinds of blessings that I can bestow on you. Do you want me to give you any kind of blessing, or do you have a special blessing that you want?"

"I want to live and become a god. Can your blessing help me realize this wish?"

"It's not impossible!"

Just like a fisherman catching a fish, Persephone took the initiative to approach Roy and said.

"I am the goddess of agriculture who is in charge of plant harvests, and I am also the goddess of Hades who is in charge of death. In other words, I am the goddess who is in charge of both life and death. My power can make you reborn after death."

"Rebirth after death——"

Roy's eyes widened in shock, and then he suddenly thought of something.

"Human beings can only become heroic gods after death, because only after death can human beings absorb the power of faith and transform into gods. But after human death, the human body will turn into a corpse. Even if the human soul absorbs the power of faith and transforms into a god A god cannot return to a corpse, and can only be a heroic god with only a soul. A normal god has both a god's soul and a god's body. Of course, a heroic god can never defeat the real god. God. But my body can be reborn after death, and I can return to my body after becoming a hero god. As a hero god with a body, I can be as powerful as a real god without a body. If so, even if some goddesses agree to marry me, as a heroic god without a body, I can't do what I want to do to them—"

Roy couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart and immediately said to Persephone.

"Great goddess Persephone, please give me the blessing that my body can be reborn after death."

"Don't be so anxious!"

Persephone lifted up her beautiful blond hair with her right hand, rubbed Roy's nose and teased.

"Since the blessing of [rebirth after death] is so important to you, shouldn't you also pay some price?"

"Goddess Persephone, if you don't meet my requirements, aren't you worried that I will kick you off the throne -"

Speaking of this, Roy suddenly remembered that he had promised not to drive Persephone off the throne of the patron saint of Pylos.

In other words, Roy can no longer threaten Persephone.

"Goddess Persephone, what do you want from me?"

“I want to be the protector of the Kingdom of Athens—the queen of the gods above the gods of Athens.”

Persephone said with a charming smile.

"I know that you not only want to become a god, but also want to become a living heroic god with a body. As long as you meet my requirements, I will give you this opportunity-"

Before Persephone could finish her words, Roy said without hesitation.

"I promise you!"

"well?"

Persephone said, eyes widening in surprise.

"Have you really thought about it carefully? I have just become the patron saint of the Kingdom of Athens. Do you really want me to become the patron saint of the Kingdom of Athens?"

"I've thought it through."

Roy said with a serious face.

"As long as you give me the blessing of [rebirth after death], I will regard you as the protector of the Kingdom of Athens."

"Although you are willing to worship me as the patron saint of the country, I am not the most powerful patron saint of the Kingdom of Athens now. Even if you worship me as the patron saint of the country, I do not have the confidence to suppress those powerful patron saints. So not only do you You want to worship me as the patron saint of the country, and give me more territory and population, so that I can become the most powerful patron saint of the Kingdom of Athens.”

"Goddess Persephone, this is your second request."

"I will pay the price accordingly."

Persephone said with a smile.

"The blessing of [Rebirth after Death] can indeed resurrect your body from the state of a corpse. But it will take time for your soul to transform into a hero god and absorb the power of faith. If your corpse rots and disappears before you become a hero god, Then how can you be resurrected? As long as you help me increase my territory and population, I will help you preserve your body and keep your body in a newly dead state. When your soul becomes a heroic god, I will also help you realize your body and soul. The fusion makes you a heroic god with a body.”

After listening to Persephone's explanation, Roy said immediately.

"I agree to your second request."

Persephone, who made the request, asked with surprise.

"Don't you even think about it?"

"Is it necessary to consider it?"

Roy said with a smile.

"As long as you can help me realize my wish to live and become a god, I will accept all your requests."

Persephone stretched out her right index finger, pressed it on Roy's forehead and said.

"Since we have reached an agreement, I will now give you the blessing of [rebirth after death]. In addition, I want to remind you that it is very energy-consuming to help you preserve your body. The stronger my power is, the longer your body can be preserved. So helping me increase my territory and population will also be beneficial to you."

"Goddess Persephone, is the 100,000 square kilometers of territory I give you enough? If not, I can conquer a million square kilometers of territory for you."

"One million--"

Persephone couldn't help laughing.

"From ancient times to now, humans have not established an empire with an area of ​​one million square kilometers, and you actually said that you would give me a hundred square kilometers as a territory. If you give me a hundred thousand or two hundred thousand square kilometers of territory, plus effectively control the population of these territories, it will be enough for me to preserve your body for a long time."

"One hundred thousand is too little, I will give you a territory of two hundred thousand square kilometers."

"The territory of the Kingdom of Athens is less than one hundred thousand square kilometers, and you actually said that you would give me two hundred thousand square kilometers..."

While complaining, Persephone's right index finger burst into a golden and black divine light, injecting a divine power into Roy's body.

As his body merged with Persephone's blessing and divine power, a new message emerged in Roy's mind.
