The Greece Antagonist

Chapter 267 Stepmom's Defense Battle (5.6k)_3

Hera's heart surged with excitement as she looked towards Luo En at her side.

As the defense attorney, Luo En was also very pleased with the thorough victory.

On one hand, having Themis preside over this divorce dispute was equivalent to taking Hera's side and breaking with Zeus. She was now unavoidably committed to the War God Mountain.

On the other hand, helping her stepmother rob her biological father of his gold coins might not dethrone Zeus, but it would somewhat harm his vitality and invisibly weaken his divine authority.

All of these, from any perspective, were greatly beneficial to him and War God Mountain.

As the dust settled, Luo En immediately squeezed out a warm smile and expressed his sincere thanks.@@@@

"Princess Themis, thank you for upholding justice and righteousness here!"

"I am merely fulfilling my obligations and doing what I can," Themis replied indifferently, her expression as aloof and solemn as ever.

Truly worthy of being the Goddess of Justice, you really step up when it matters! Reliable!

Inwardly praising Themis, Luo En then spoke with a smile brimming on his face.

"Alright then, since the case is closed, you two have your talk, I'll be leaving now, not to disturb you!"

With that, the defense attorney turned and walked towards the edge of the dense forest, ready to make his graceful exit.

However, just as he took a step forward, a deep and clear voice came from behind him.

"Wait, you cannot leave yet..."

"Huh?"

Luo En turned around in confusion, his face showing a hint of surprise. Discover stories at My Virtual Library Empire

"Her case is settled, but now it's your turn."

The Golden Scales turned, ringing delicately, and radiant starlight cascaded down as the courtroom of order was erected. Themis stood at the judge's bench, gazing solemnly at the lone figure under the stars and slowly spoke.

"Tell me, do you harbor malice towards Olympus, intending to commit treasonous acts?"

"...!"

Luo En stiffened, his complexion drastically changing.

Has it happened? I'm finished!

Seeing the accused not answering, Themis spoke again, this time using divine law without any courtesy.

"Tell me, do you harbor malice towards Olympus, intending to commit treasonous acts?"

Suddenly, a mysterious and vast pressure poured down from the heavens, and a clear, penetrating will entered Luo En's mind, compelling him to want to disclose his most genuine thoughts unwittingly.

But what was the result?

As soon as the divine war had ended, that new King of the Gods, in whom she had placed such hope, turned against his own wife Metis, seizing her with honeyed words and swallowing her whole.

At that time, she was pregnant.

From that moment, Themis saw through the true nature of His Majesty the King of Gods, completely extinguishing the fantasies in her heart, and chose to leave Olympus to hide herself in the Sea of Okeanos.

And afterward, things unfolded just as she had expected.

Calculating against his wife, his children, mortals, his adversaries...

This Divine King elevated "conspiracy" to an art form, erasing one potential threat after another, playing all within the palm of his hand.

The glorious Divine Realm remained shrouded in darkness, and the tainted Mortal World continued in its unruly chaos.

The Goddess of Justice looked at the handsome, intelligent, and eloquent Luo En before her, and the figure before her eyes seemed to perfectly overlap with that person in her memory. The peculiar sense of déjà vu made her shake her head and sigh.

Another Zeus...

The Sword of Judgment inched out of its scabbard, and Luo En broke out in sweat on his forehead.

"You mean to kill me?" he asked.

The Goddess glanced at him as if he were just another criminal, and shook her head slightly, "I am a judge, not an executioner."

However, before Luo En's heart could settle, Themis swung her sword towards the stars, speaking somberly.

"But it's my duty to inform the victims of the results of the last trial, so I will hand you over to Zeus and let him know of your intentions, letting him decide your fate."

Where the blade passed, a dark crack tore through the starry sky, mirroring the contours of Sacred Mountain Olympus.

Seeing this, Luo En's heart raced.

Themis was serious.

"Wait! I can explain! I have more to say!" he pleaded.

"I'm sorry, your only chance to defend yourself has already been used up," she replied.

Themis, clearly determined, showed no intention of listening to the accused's sophistry, and grabbing Luo En's shoulder, she prepared to throw him into the gaping starry corridor.

"Wait..."

At that critical moment, a goddess clad in bronze serpent armor, with silver hair and purple eyes, glided from the depths of the starry sky.

"If the accused has no right to speak for himself, then how about I advocate on his behalf?" she suggested.

Seeing the unexpected savior before him, Luo En experienced a flood of emotions, nearly shedding tears of relief.
