The Greece Antagonist-Chapter 1176 - 3: Do You Understand What It Means to Pass Down Sect Teachings?

Chapter 1176: Chapter 3: Do You Understand What It Means to Pass Down Sect Teachings?

Suppressing a trace of surprise in his heart, Luo En seemed to ask casually:

"Is Nero the name of this child? What is her surname?"

"Claudius family.

Venus first replied simply, then awkwardly explained,

"Although she is my creation, I don’t have much experience in raising children. So, I placed her in the Claudius family. According to Rome’s naming tradition, you can call her Nero Claudius Caesar Drusus Germanicus. Or, more simply, call her Nero Caesar..."

Upon hearing this answer, the tension in Luo En’s heart finally died.

"Nero Caesar" when transcribed into Hebrew is written as נרוןקסר, and then transcribed back into Latin as NRVN QSR, corresponding to the numbers 50 200 6 50 100 60 200, which adds up exactly to the number of the beast, 666.

And the original text in Revelation mentions the following:

"The woman rides on a seven-headed, ten-horned red dragon, dressed in purple and scarlet clothes, holding a gold cup in her hand filled with the filthy contents of her adultery, and has words on her forehead reading: ’Mystery! Mother of Prostitutes and Abominations of the Earth.’ She drinks the blood of the saints and the blood of those who testified for the Lamb, full of sin, but in one day, she meets death and sorrow, and will be burned with fire..."

These words all allude to the Roman Empire and its rulers.

[Seven Heads] corresponds to the Seven Hills origin of Rome;

[Ten Horns] corresponds to the ten Emperors divinized during the Roman monarchy era;

[Drinks the blood of saints and the blood of those who testified for the Lamb] corresponds to Nero’s anti-Christian campaign;

[Full of sin, but in one day, meets death and sorrow, and will be burned with fire] corresponds to the legendary fire that almost consumed the city of Rome;

[Scarlet clad prostitute] is generally considered a synonym for the "Roman Empire" and also alludes to Venus, the God of Love and Beauty, who wields Roman Royal Authority. Because in Roman mythology, several Emperors of the Roman Empire believed their blood was from the God of Love, descendants of Venus;

As for the final [Holding the gold cup filled with filthy contents of her adultery]...

Luo En looked at the cup in his hand and couldn’t help but mutter in his heart.

Is it possible that I’m part of this?

Indeed.

Wine brings indulgence, feasts bring greed, pleasure brings transgression...

I, representing the God of Wine, may not align with the later definition of the Heavenly Lord.

Luo En mocked himself, shaking his head and dismissing the "prophecies" in Revelation.

Then, he reached out and touched the head of the little girl Nero who approached him, and curiously asked Venus:

"What made you think of letting this child succeed your former Divine Office? She doesn’t seem to be the traditional Mechanical God?"

"As you have seen. Although she is my creation, unlike ordinary Mechanical Gods, she not only absorbs the divinity that I split off but also absorbs the power of faith provided by humans, a blossom nurtured by both. So, in a sense, she is both a Mechanical God and a Human, and moreover, represents ’Rome’ itself."

"I see."

Luo En nodded thoughtfully, probably understanding Venus’s intention.

She wants to use this creation, Nero, to build a close bond between humans and Mechanical Gods, making the concept of the state of "Rome" more stable.

In the future, when Nero grows up, she will take over the divine authority of the Mechanical God tribe from her hands, and the Roman Royal Authority from the Claudius family, becoming the spokesperson for both, continuing the great achievements of Rome.

And if he remembers correctly, this is also the last and most splendid glory of the Polytheistic System.

As for what follows...

Luo En looked down at the little girl curiously observing him beneath his palm, couldn’t help but smile and ask:

"Girl, who is your guardian now?"

"Little Agrippina."

Nero wrinkled her delicate nose and directly stated the name of her "mother," speaking without the slightest hint of respect, but rather with some disdain.

Upon hearing this, Luo En furrowed his brow.

Historically, this is a woman full of ambition to ascend to power.

Legend has it, she was also a famous poisoner during Ancient Rome, who poisoned her husband, Claudius I — a Roman Emperor who adopted Nero, and was very close to her.

After clearing obstacles, to grasp power, she seduced her brother, uncle, and through various means, pushed Nero, whom she raised single-handedly, to the peak of power, making him her political puppet.

As they say, parents are the first teachers of their children.

Under such high-pressure environment and distorted nurturing relationship, it’s a wonder if Nero’s psychological state could be healthy.

Thus, under the mentorship of little Agrippina, she gradually became a historically notorious tyrant.

After pondering for a while, Luo En voiced his doubt to Venus:

"Why choose this woman?"

"After calculation, joining the Claudius family and receiving little Agrippina’s teachings will allow her to inherit the throne the fastest, integrating Rome’s divine and royal authority, serving your great cause."

Venus answered respectfully, elaborating on the history of Rome.

During Romulus’s reign, Rome continuously expanded outward, with power and race rapidly swelling, gradually gaining over 50 clans.

To increase ethnic integration, the Romans chose one person from each clan, modeling Athens’ citizen assembly, forming Rome’s Elder Council mechanism.

But as time passed, Rome’s territory became wider and wider.
