Antihero In the Hero Academy: I Can Connect the Past Heroes-Chapter 110: I See Them
Chapter 110: I See Them
As everyone carefully turned towards the darkening sky, the church members in the coliseum, who worshipped many different gods and goddesses, paused in their excitement.
The sudden darkening of the sky was something they had seen many times before. Of course, everyone in the coliseum could more or less understand what was happening. Even those who had never seen such a thing before were familiar with the situation.
At that moment a light came from the centre of the Coliseum.
When all eyes turned to the light, or rather to the lights that were increasing in number every second, each person in the coliseum looked at the centre of the area.
Star symbols formed above Eva’s, Camellia’s and Aster’s heads.
Even Cordelia herself bowed her head in respect and stepped back, taking the Sages with her, as if to make way.
This event showed that the gods had made a choice.
Under normal circumstances, gods and goddesses chose their worshippers, often members of the church. Even if many of those chosen were not members of the Church, they were given a rank of honour. Depending on the power and seniority bestowed upon them, the power held by a rank of honour could even be equal to that of an Archbishop or even the Pope of the church.
Perhaps five years had already passed since the last time the gods or goddesses had chosen someone.
And now, not just one, but three people had star symbols on them.
Atlas, on the other hand, had the same strange smile on his face that he always had. Cordelia and the other Sages had seen that expression, unlike everyone else watching what was happening. Still, each of them couldn’t do anything but stare at each other.
They had to shut up right now.
Eva and the other two fell to their knees without stopping.
At that moment Eva’s body began to glow. Seeing where this blessing was coming from, the church members quickly came to the centre of the coliseum and began to worship in front of Eva.
They were none other than the Pope of the temple of Ares and the Pope’s soldiers.
The reason for their kneeling before Eva was obvious. A woman, an aura master who was one of the sole owners of the battlefield all over the world. And this woman was currently chosen by Ares, the God of War himself.
Even the Pope of the Temple of Ares would be willing to kneel in front of Eva. An aura master was now an honoured member of their church.
When Eva’s body stopped glowing, an armour formed on the beautiful woman. An armour that was white in colour and tried to absorb even the light itself.
"Thank you for this honour, Almighty God," Eva said as she stood up, her eyes wide, and then moved to Cordelia’s side to watch the twins. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
The Pope of the temple and his soldiers bowed their heads politely and began to stand next to the Sages in a standing position.
The other two seemed to have received a blessing from the twin divinities as twins.
Artemis and Apollo...twin divinities, the children of Leto and Zeus. These two had now blessed Camellya and Aster.
Their bodies, like Eva’s, glowed, and when the glow stopped, Aster had a sun sign on his forehead and Camellia had a bow and arrow tattooed on her right arm.
They were symbols of the sun and hunting...symbols of Artemis and Apollo.
A priest from the temple of Artemis and a priestess from the temple of Apollo had already come to congratulate them before the two stood up.
Still...the real show hadn’t started yet.
All eyes turned to Atlas. For a few seconds, no one could understand why he hadn’t been chosen despite everything he had done today.
Until Atlas opened his mouth:
"Come on, Lady Nyx, how am I going to get help if you scare them?" Atlas questioned instantly.
It was as if heaven and hell had heated up with his words.
Stars began to form one after the other above Atlas. It was as if every star in the night sky had begun to spin above him.
Every single person, including Cordelia, seemed surprised.
Above the stars stood the symbols of gods and goddesses, just like Eva, Camellia and Aster.
Literally close to a thousand stars were perched above Atlas.
Zeus’ lightning, Hades’ Kynee, Poseidon’s Trident, Theseus’ Ship, Chronos’ Hourglass, Gaia’s Earth, Hyperion’s Spear, Selene’s Moon, Aether’s Space, Hemera’s Sun, Ares’ Sword, Eris’ Golden Apple and many more.
Literally thousands of stars and their symbols, including the children of Nyx, had formed on the Atlas.
It was unprecedented in the history of the world.
"So fucking...beautiful..." Bellatrix suddenly muttered.
"Well, calm down all of you." Atlas suddenly said. His words surprised everyone, it was obvious that they had never thought that someone would talk to the gods and goddesses like that.
"I mean, Lady Nyx...I don’t understand why Lord Ares and Lady Gaia are trying to bless me again, haven’t I already received their blessing? Well, it wasn’t really a blessing, was it? It was more like help." Atlas added.
With these words, thunderous weather occurred in the sky covered with clouds. Lightning seemed to be constantly descending on the barrier created by the Sages.
"I know Lady Nyx won’t get angry, especially with me, so it’s probably Lady Nemesis, we haven’t talked before, have we?" Atlas added and with that, the lightning stopped.
At that moment, dozens of message windows began to appear in front of Atlas:
[Choose me.] It was a message from Zeus himself.
[I will give you the power to destroy the world] came from Hades.
A message came from Eris: [First you received a blessing from my mother, I think you should choose me, I like you very much, and I will take you for myself. One day.]
In the dozens of message windows that came one after the other, the name of one was left behind all of them, but the person who sent that message was the one who attracted the most attention in Atlas’ eyes.
One of the few gods and goddesses who had given only a few blessings in the entire history of creation...The lord of time, Chronos.
