Chapter 2095
The gods are not as mysterious, nor as powerful as imagined. This is why the Pantheon has always suppressed the development of its world, because mortals can really kill gods... In fact, with the current level of technology on Earth, gods can be killed. This is why fewer and fewer gods want to return to Earth.
Because the earth is no longer a 'paradise'.
The gods are no longer supreme and invincible.
These so-called sacrifices actually cannot grant the gods power. In short, sacrifice is a typical formalistic activity where the form is greater than the substance. It is more about letting the gods see the awe of mortals.
Of course, over time, the gods got used to this kind of sacrifice and regarded it as an act of seeking shelter.
It's like some kind of initiation rite.
If you offer sacrifice, then you are my believer!
There are many kinds of worship of Aphrodite, including the more civilized one, such as the Aphrodite Festival, also known as the Festival of the Goddess of Beauty. In memory of the goddess' ill-fated lover Adonis, at the end of July every year, the women of Athens sang, danced and chatted on the roofs until dawn.
There are also wild ones, which happened during the Dionysia Festival. This festival was originally to commemorate Dionysus, but later developed into a kind of unrestrained carnival for the whole nation. On this day, women would become particularly enthusiastic, so gradually, Aphrodite also appeared in this festival, and her proportion became larger and larger. Every winter, women climbed the mountains and danced wildly in honor of the gods, and even caught wild animals and tore them apart to eat them raw.
To the Pantheon era.
It's even worse as the goddesses start playing with feminism.
The ceremony began to go in a direction of madness and there was no turning back!
For example, some extreme goddess believers would even castrate men during the sacrifice and bury their orgin in the ground. On the day of the sacrifice, they would dance, take drugs, and then they would be ritually castrated. (In fact, there was such a sacrificial ritual in ancient Greece, worshiping Cybele, also known as Rhea, the mother of Zeus, Poseidon and Hades. On the day of the sacrifice, they would dance, take drugs, and then they would be ritually castrated. After the procedure was completed, they would gather in the sanctuary and become priests. This castration ritual was passed down until the 5th century AD.)
Well, some things are a bit similar to those crazy female boxing in Japan and South Korea...
Of course, Aphrodite was not that cruel. At most, she would let her believers sacrifice those frenzied men at the happiest moment!
She is the embodiment of temptation and desire!
Strictly speaking, these things cannot actually enhance the power of the gods... but after the bastards from the Pantheon left the Earth, they hooked up with the demon lords in the demon dimension and learned a lot of evil magic from them.
For example, sacrifices, yes, sacrifices do not increase the power of gods. But sacrifices can!
This most insane sacrifice can offer the soul of the sacrifice to the gods, and then the power of the gods is enhanced!
Although the Pantheon itself restricts this kind of behavior, after all, this is pure killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. If people are sacrificed, who will provide them with faith?
But everyone does this in private.
Of course, everyone still has to save face, so most of them would only let their most fanatical followers do this, and they would do it secretly.
Aphrodite herself was not keen on power, so she did not have a high demand for such bloody sacrifices. But if it was for this group of scum, Aphrodite felt that her moral bottom line could be loosened a little... Besides, Aphrodite never advertised herself with morality, she was not Hera or Athena.
Personal moral pursuits are not high.
Of course, Aphrodite didn't care about this little bit of power. She distributed all the power to the abducted women. They became the first group of believers of Aphrodite on Earth in ten thousand years!
If the Pantheon knew about this, it would definitely cause an uproar!
Because it's impossible!
The existence of the Great Guardian and Kamar-Taj suppresses the gods!
The gods are simply unable to develop so-called believers on Earth.
But now Aphrodite, the goddess of love who has the weakest combat power among all the gods, has actually done it!
The fact is that Aphrodite was just lucky. The Great Guardian was in trouble now, so Kamar-Taj had no time to deal with these problems. In fact, in just a few days, various supernatural events broke out all over the earth, and many people heard some meaningless whispers in their ears. Some of these whispers were completely incomprehensible, and most people just thought they were hallucinating, or simply thought it was physiological tinnitus.
So I didn't take it seriously.
Or maybe they are too slow, but there are still some people who are inevitably affected.
They may still not be able to hear what those whispers are saying, but they are no longer the same as before.
The sound is often described as a mysterious, indescribable and disturbing voice or language. Those whispers may also symbolize human fear and curiosity about the unknown. This whisper may be a metaphor for the desires and impulses hidden deep in the human mind. When humans try to interpret this whisper, they may find some disturbing truths or desires hidden deep in their own minds.
Because of these whispers, some people began to possess abilities that ordinary people could not possess, such as superpowers, or extraordinary strength or some other weird stuff.
But more people will fall into an inexplicable panic for a long time, and some people have even begun to show some bad phenomena, such as mental abnormalities and seeing many incomprehensible and horrific scenes in their dreams.
Some people even claimed that they had seen revelations and felt that they were chosen by the gods... There was nothing wrong with saying that. After all, those dimensional demons were no different from gods in the eyes of ordinary people.
As a result, all kinds of inexplicable cults have sprung up all over the world, and their doctrines are more outrageous than each other.
Aphrodite is just getting started.
Aphrodite is actually a fake feminist. Fake feminism refers to those who use the banner of feminism but do not actually pursue gender equality and women's rights. Instead, they use the concept of feminism to seek personal gain or meet specific purposes.
These people use the concept of feminism to gain privileges or satisfy personal needs rather than truly working to promote gender equality and women's rights.
They may base the promotion of women's rights on opposition to men, ignoring the challenges and problems faced by men in the family and workplace, leading to an imbalance in the discussion of gender issues. When dealing with gender issues, fake feminists may adopt double standards, over-interpreting men's faults while downplaying women's faults. They may even use emotional and moral blackmail to achieve their goals, such as threatening to break up and demanding that the other party meet their demands.
Some fake feminists even gossip and insult others behind their backs, using derogatory terms to belittle women.
The existence of fake feminism makes it more difficult to achieve true gender equality and women's rights, because it undermines people's trust and support for feminism. Real feminism should be committed to eliminating gender discrimination and promoting gender equality, rather than using gender differences to seek personal gain or meet specific purposes.
Aphrodite hits it all!
This guy is a typical selfish person. He doesn't care about other people but only cares about how he is doing. He doesn't even care about his own children. The only person he has a good relationship with is his son, Eros, the god of love.
She joined the Hera Organization, an organization of female gods, simply because if she really didn't join, what awaited her would definitely be Hera's unscrupulous suppression!
Never underestimate the ruthlessness of those goddesses!
Especially after Hera awakened, she was so resolute and swift. In the past, she only joined others to rebel, and in the end, she was still a vassal of men. But now? The power under her own command is enough to stand on its own!
Pretty much the same, actually.
Hera's Paradise Island has become a place where the goddesses gather for meetings, and they don't even bother to pay attention to Zeus, the king of gods.
Therefore, Aphrodite did not join Hera's side because of ideals, but because of the situation. After all, if she stayed in Zeus' camp, there would be no benefits, and she would be treated as a plaything by a bunch of beastly male gods. Not only that, she would also be targeted by Hera.
She was not sure whether Zeus would really go to war with Hera for her if she was killed by Hera.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to join the goddess faction and use them to make profits for yourself.
Closer to home.
She actually doesn't care about what happens to these trafficked girls. She doesn't even give a damn about her own believers.
But after seeing the tragic experiences of these girls, she couldn't help but feel angry.
After all, the girls in the Pantheon were not so miserable. Of course, prostitution existed in the world ruled by the Pantheon... and it was very common. Many girls lived a miserable life for various reasons.
But at least they still have a chance for real redemption. As long as their faith is firm, they will receive the treatment they deserve after their souls enter the underworld... The Pantheon does a good job in this regard. It doesn't look at anything else, it just looks at the firmness of one's faith.
As long as your faith is pious and firm enough, you will go to the underworld after death. Generally speaking, you will not be targeted and you can enter the Paradise of Elysae. (The Paradise of Elysae is located at the western end of Oceanus, the god of the ocean. It is like spring all year round, with no scorching heat in summer and no severe cold in winter. Roses bloom all over the ground under the breeze of Zephyrus, the god of the west wind. Menelaos and Helen, Cadmus, the founder of Thebes, Peleus, the father of Achilles, the hero of the Trojan War, and Penelope, the wife of Odysseus, gathered under the frankincense wood, singing and dancing to the sound of Orpheus' lyre, enjoying a comfortable life. The Lethe River flows in front of the paradise, and the dead are drinking water in big gulps to erase their memories of their lives, but only those who are loved by the gods or have immortal bodies can enter this place. The name of the famous Champs-Elysées in France comes from the Paradise of Elysae, which is equivalent to the paradise in ancient Greek mythology)
In this regard, the Pantheon is quite something. At least after death, people still have the opportunity to choose again.
But this is Earth.
What’s even more outrageous is that these scumbags didn’t even spare the bodies of those girls!
As for the Pantheon, they indeed do not treat believers as human beings, but they still insist on basic things, such as not insulting the bodies of the deceased!
Taking people apart and selling them... This operation would make even the Pantheon, a group of bastards, feel physically uncomfortable!
Just tell me how excessive it is!
So Aphrodite did not hesitate to initiate the sacrifice so that these women could change their lives!
You will find that as the killing progresses, those girls bathed in blood and desire have changed one by one. Their originally depressed spirits begin to become excited, and their skin becomes white and shiny.
Although their appearance has not undergone a drastic change as if they had undergone cosmetic surgery, their overall charm has been elevated to more than one level.
But if you ask me what has changed about them, I really can't tell. They have become prettier, but their faces are still the same... It's just amazing.
This is the power of Aphrodite.
Aphrodite seems to be just an insignificant deity, but she always occupies the position of the main god. This is the reason.
She is the goddess of love and beauty!
She can give women these two things, and women can give everything for these two things.
Especially beautiful.
In order to become beautiful, all women in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad, are willing to give it all!
Every girl has a more perfect self in her heart, and to achieve that goal, they can do many incredible things.
The primary version is full of inexplicable obsession with many things around you. For example, if you have a bag, you want a second one, and if you have a second one, you want a third one... Then slowly fill up the whole cabinet and the whole room. But you still feel that something is missing.
Take lipstick for example. No matter if it suits me or not, I want to have one of every color.
As for clothes, women always feel that they don’t have enough clothes… no matter how old they are. My mother already has several wardrobes of clothes, but she still adds a lot of new clothes every year, which is not enough!
Intermediate version, I have tried many, many, many ways to lose weight... not eating for a few days and only drinking water!
As long as you are not starving to death, starve to death!
Finally, I embarked on the long road of fitness.
This is no longer called weight loss, this is called self-abuse! This thing can be used as torture for spies!
In order to make her eyebrows look less messy, she plucked out the stray hairs one by one with tweezers, and she did not change her mind even though it hurt so much that she gritted her teeth. Normally, she would cry and piss herself even if she accidentally scratched her skin, but now she immediately turned into a warrior who was not afraid of death or pain!
Premium version.
That is, as long as it is for the sake of beauty, I will not hesitate even if I am cut into pieces!
In order to make the lipsticks I bought look more delicate, I got a lip liner done!
After knowing that there is such a thing as semi-permanent.
Without further ado, semi-permanent eyebrow tattoos, semi-permanent eyelashes, semi-permanent...
In order to make my eyes look bigger, I gritted my teeth and had a pair of double eyelids.
In order to make the skin look smoother and whiter, people go to get injections on their faces. Even if the face is covered in blood and looks a bit scary, they still feel happy. In order to become beautiful, there is no place on the body that cannot be operated on!
Even though the side effects of this thing are terrible and may even be life-threatening!
Just for the sake of beauty, Aphrodite has no shortage of believers. In order to become beautiful, many women will become Aphrodite's most devout believers!
