Greek Mythology: I open a treasure chest at Olympus-Chapter 5: Priton attacks, the Vision of the Sun

Hera’s beautiful face revealed a smile as she watched the python leave.

“Priton’s strength is quite good among the upper gods. Even if Leto’s two children have extraordinary talents, they can only reach the peak of middle god in ten years at most. They can’t be Priton’s opponents at all.”

With this estimation, Hera’s expression became much gentler.

She called a Nymph and instructed her, “Go to His Majesty the King of the Gods and tell him that I am inviting him.”

The Nymph was very surprised. The king of the gods had always wanted to ease his relationship with the queen of the gods all these years, but the queen of the gods had ignored him.

Why did her attitude suddenly change today?

However, she didn’t dare to ask. She quickly came to the temple of the king of the gods at the highest point of Olympus and conveyed Hera’s words.

Zeus was also a little surprised. “Does she finally understand my pain?”

With that in mind, he came to Hera’s residence without thinking much.

……

On the island of Delos, Apollo said into the distance, “Artemis, it’s about time for today. Let’s go back.”

Suddenly, his expression changed.

His golden eyes showed the brilliance of the morning sun, burning like a flame.

The Vision of the sun!

Apollo had obtained this divine art from the intermediate treasure chest last year.

It could give the gods the ability to shine like the sun in the sky and observe every corner of the earth. At the same time, they could emit a searing light that would burn everything in their sight to ashes.

As a god with the godhood of prophecy, Apollo’s intuition had always been keen.

At this moment, he unhesitatingly used this divine art, and under the bright light of his eyes, the forest in front of him was shrouded in a dim shadow.

There was a huge python with bloodthirsty cold eyes who was carefully lurking in those shadows.

Apollo’s expression froze, and he hurriedly shouted: “Artemis, be careful!”

Artemis, who was hunting in the woods behind, immediately took out her bow and arrow when she heard his cry.

However, it was still too late. The python’s huge body was like an arrow as it launched a swift attack.

Boom!

The mountain-like snake tail cut through the air and slammed down on Artemis’ head. The powerful force shattered the surrounding ground, and the entire Delos Island trembled.

Artemis was very agile, and in this critical situation, she narrowly avoided the blow, but the divine power from the snake tail still knocked her into the air.

“Artemis!” Apollo’s eyes were filled with blazing light as his figure turned into a bright golden light and he instantly arrived beside his sister.

“Poof!”

Artemis collapsed on the ground. Her delicate face was white as paper, and she coughed up a mouthful of blood when she saw Apollo’s arrival.

“How are you doing?”

“No… Don’t worry… I’m fine… it’s nothing……”

Supported by Apollo, Artemis spoke weakly.

Apollo hurriedly used his divine power to check her body. He had the godhood of medicine and he had also found ‘Medical Proficiency’ in a treasure box a few years ago. 𝙗𝙚𝙙𝒏𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡．𝙣𝒆𝙩

Through his investigation, he found that the injury was not light, but fortunately, Artemis was very strong and it did not reach a fatal level, so he was relieved.

At this time, the giant python in the distance laughed sinisterly and said, “To think that a mere middle god will only be injured under my all-out attack. It really deserves to be the bloodline of His Majesty, the king of the Gods. No wonder the queen of gods wants me to kill you.”

“You were sent by Hera?” Apollo looked at the python coldly.

“I am the most trusted servant of the Queen of Gods, the great Python Lord Priton. Remember this name because it is the last name you will ever hear in your life!”

The python laughed hideously as a majestic divine power surged out of his body and it launched an attack.

“Be careful…” Artemis shouted worriedly.

Apollo gave her a faint smile, pulled out the golden sword of the sun in his hand, and slashed toward the approaching python.

Chi!

The dazzling sword light burned with golden brilliance in mid-air and fell on the huge body of the python like thunder.

Priton let out a miserable scream, and his huge eyes looked at the young man with short, blond hair in disbelief.

“Upper god, how is this possible? You were only born ten years ago… And this sword, it’s a divine artifact of the highest quality…”

Priton’s tone was full of panic.

Apollo didn’t give him a chance to talk nonsense. His golden eyes shone with the light of dawn. The blazing light was like the flames of the sun in the sky surging toward Priton’s body.

“Damn it, I don’t believe that a ten-year-old god can do much!”

Priton bit his mouth and his huge body suddenly expanded several times. Like a moving mountain fortress, he charged toward Apollo.

But on the way, the blazing light from Apollo’s eyes burned his thick scales.

The brilliant flames carried an unparalleled high temperature. The fire spread on the surface of his body.

At first, he didn’t care.

As a pet of the queen of gods, he was not a weak upper god.

Even the flames of Helios, the god of the sun, could not burn through his scales within a short period of time.

This young god is stupid. If he used the golden sword in his hand, I might have to dodge it.

But now that he has used this flashy flame divine art, his fate has doomed him to death.

Priton’s icy eyes were full of bloodthirsty ferocity, and his body was filled with an icy aura as he released majestic divine power.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a strong burning sensation in his abdomen.

When he lowered his head, he saw that under the brilliant flames, the sturdy scales he was proud of actually emitted sizzling sounds, and they burned until they were completely red and cracked.

The scorching heat surged, and the flesh under the scales was charred black and dried.

Priton let out a miserable roar due to pain.
