The Greece Antagonist-Chapter 1173 - 2: The Beast 666 Appears

After paying the entrance tax, they entered the city smoothly.

Luo En, with a tourist mindset, looked around this domain under his rule with an appreciative gaze.

Rome, located atop the seven hills of Palatino, Capitol, Esquilino, Viminale, Quirinale, Cilium, and Aventino, is also known as the Seven Hills City. It stretches slightly longer from north to south and is slightly shorter from east to west. The city walls span rivers and meander along the mountains in a winding manner, forming an irregular shape resembling a crouching lion.

The city’s layout is orderly, exuding grandeur and solidity. Tall walls of buildings on both sides stand erect, and each block of stone is engraved with defense and restriction Divine Patterns. The several major streets within the city are laid out in a grid pattern, intersecting regularly, dividing the city into numerous districts.

Each road is straight and flat, nearly ten meters wide, completely paved with blue stone slabs. Water canals extend in all directions, and hidden drainage channels run beneath the streets, with lead and ceramic pipes respectively diverting rainwater. Fountains spray water, sculptures are scattered, filling the air with a luxurious atmosphere.

In the gaps between the street’s stone slabs, fluorescent ores excavated from the seabed of Naples Bay are embedded, accompanied by charged Demon Crystals on both sides. Thus, even on moonless nights, passersby can distinguish the roads by the light from the ore and crystals.

Besides this, bars, public baths, bakeries, dye houses, inns, theaters, and other establishments are all readily available in Rome.

As the capital of the Empire, its prosperity is even comparable to that of Athens, the Origin.

Within the city, three landmark buildings stand out as the most bustling and solemn.

The first is the Roman Square, located in the valley between the Palatino, Capitolino, and Esquilino hills, filled with temples, halls, sculptures, fountains, commemorative columns, and also the largest gladiatorial arena in Rome.

The second is the Roman Palace, built on Palatino Hill, comprising numerous halls, baths, and circuses, theaters, etc., serving as the residence for many Roman Divine Descendants and the Roman Emperor.

The third is the Pantheon, likewise standing on Palatino Hill, adjacent to the Roman Palace. From afar, it appears as a grand temple with a dome, featuring a classical colonnade in front, with the dome constructed from volcanic ash stone, housing numerous statues including those of the Twelve Olympians.

Following the tourist crowd, Luo En counted the statues; there were at least several hundred, with stark differences in style and appearance, clearly the result of a great cultural fusion.

However, the twelve mechanical god bronze sculptures he was familiar with occupied the absolute center among many statues. The twelve strands of Divine Power light lines intertwined and entangled above, faintly visible, emitting the aura of the Mechanical God clan, intimidating and commanding the other differently shaped subordinate deities with kingly authority.

In this nation, who is the master and who is the servant is clear at a glance.

Venus has done quite well, eh? A reward!

Luo En commented silently, with a rather mischievous tone, as he approached the altar dedicated to the Chaos and Order Goddess, Eurynome, tossing a few Athena’s Bronze coins into the donation box.

On the temple dome above, several invisible silver-white spherical metal constructs flickered with a single crimson gemstone eye, recording the scene into their database and transmitting it simultaneously to the core hub of the Mechanical God clan.

A moment later, a graceful figure hurriedly came from the back hall.

Her form seemed carved from white porcelain under the moon, with her skin surface flowing with a faint golden energy pattern imperceptible to mortals, like circuits half-seen under the skin. Her crimson long hair cascaded like liquid metal, reflecting a pearlescent rainbow glow.

Her eyes were two perfectly cut multifaceted crystals, with the irises glinting with a gold-blue data stream, each gaze like an analysis of the "love" and "beauty" of all things—both a seductive abyss and a divine judgment. Her lips maintained a mechanically precise curve, her smile tender yet lacking warmth, like a perfectly programmed mercy, keeping an awe-inspiring yet unapproachable distance from surrounding life.

But upon seeing the figure in front of the altar, the woman quickly pushed through the crowd and approached, her intrinsic pride replaced by humility and respect:

"Master, why have you come?"

"Just checking on your work."

Luo En smiled back, giving the subordinate Mechanical God a look of approval,

"Seems like you’re doing a good job."

"It’s because you taught me well."

Venus, somewhat flattered, bowed her head quickly in compliment.

Luo En rolled his eyes and chided:

"Your achievement is your achievement, don’t pick up those bad habits from humans."

Venus nodded repeatedly, visibly relaxing a bit, and then asked,

"Weren’t you on War God Mountain? Why did you suddenly come to Rome? And without informing me in advance, so I could prepare properly."

"Things are a bit complicated."

Luo En glanced around, giving Venus a meaningful look,

"This isn’t the place to talk. Let’s find a quieter environment to chat."

Half an hour later, in the back hall.

After hearing Luo En’s narration, Venus looked at her superior in surprise:

"So you snuck out?"

"I had no choice. That bunch of crazy women was too exhausting. If I didn’t leave, I’d be ground to dust. I had to come here to lay low for a while."

Luo En replied somewhat helplessly.

Immediately, he picked up the luxurious gold goblet on the table, sipped the chilled wine inside, and looked at the subordinate with a faint smile:

"You wouldn’t not welcome me, would you?"

"How could that be! By your grace, the entire Mechanical God clan has been rebuilt, and Rome’s glory today is thanks to your strategy. Whether it’s the Empire or the Mechanical God clan, they’re all your private assets. You can stay as long as you want!"
