Fate: I Heard After Death, You Can Ascend to the Throne of Heroes?

Chapter 23: He will judge the great God!



"There should be a trial at this moment."

In ancient Greek mythology, Themis, the creator and protector of order and goddess of justice, came to the world holding the scales of judgment in her hands.

She covered her eyes with a white cloth, representing justice that would never be blinded, and announcing the coming of judgment.

Promise' eyes were covered by white light, making him close his eyes subconsciously.

However when he opened them again, he found that the original kingdom had disappeared from his sight, the night and the stars had also disappeared, and instead, a pure white court had appeared.

The courtroom was filled with confused spectators.

They were the people of the river goddess Aegina, who were cursed and ravaged.

And in the audience, there were two people...or to be more precise, two goddesses standing opposite each other.

They were naturally the Queen of Olympus Hera and the river goddess Aegina.

Both of them had confusion written all over their faces, but it was not the first time Hera had seen such a scene, so she quickly focused her gaze to the side.

Goddess Themis, dressed in a white robe was meticulously holding up the scales of judgment.

Just as Hera frowned and was about to ask.

"The judged ones are Hera, the Queen of Olympus, and Aegina, the river goddess."

"Judge - Student of the Centaur Sage Chiron, promise!"

Themis, the goddess of justice, once again issued a horrifying declaration!

"Huh?!" The person who immediately exclaimed was Athena, who was standing next to Themis with an incredible look on her face.

Obviously, even the goddess of wisdom was shocked at this moment.

Then, without waiting for everyone to react, the scales of judgment in Themis' hand began to shake gently, and the next moment Hera and Aegina came to the court and to be judged.

Promise, with a confused look on his face, put on the white robe that epresented the judge, sat on the highest position of judgment, and looked at the queen and goddess below.

He was stunned for a while, then immediately fixed his eyes on Athena.

His eyes were full of confusion and questions.

My wise goddess, what are you doing?

Athena was stunned, and some black lines appeared on her forehead.

'Hey, what does that look on your face that says I'm the culprit mean?'

The eye contact between this man and the goddess had not yet ended, when..

"Themis!" Hera shouted with an extremely ugly face.

Even though she was wearing a veil, it couldn't hide her anger at the moment.

"What are you doing?!"

As Hera's voice fell, a dazzling bolt of lightning struck down with a loud bang, shocking the people in the audience who were also making a fuss because of the sudden change.

Hera's amber eyes stared at Themis angrily.

There was a gleam of thunder in her eyes... She was Hera, the Queen of Heaven, the most noble goddess on this continent.

This was because of the unbreakable oath Zeus made to her when he proposed to her in order to win her.

Hera shared the power and honor of the god-king Zeus.

Among them, it represents the power that only the king of gods Zeus controls - thunder!

"Are you trying to judge me? Judge me... Queen Hera?!"

Hera questioned Themis harshly.

Yes, Themis was indeed an extremely special deity, the creator and guardian of order, a goddess of absolute justice who was revered and respected by all gods.

But there are always people with privileges in this world, and gods are no exception.

The ruler of this era is Zeus, who built the Olympus Temple.

Thus there were only two people, Themis did not have the power to judge.

They were the Queen and the King of Gods.

After all, the order she created also needed to rely on the Olympus God Court.

This was why Hera is so angry at the moment...but in fact, under normal circumstances, she would not be so angry.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

After all, she has always had a good relationship with Themis in private.

One should know that even the laws of marriage and the concept of family were actually created by Themis, who gave them to Hera to restrain the king of gods Zeus.

The reason why Hera was so furious now was mainly because of the sacrifice that had just taken place.

Moreover, apart from the king and queen of the gods, even Hades, the god of the underworld, and Poseidon, the god of the sea, although they might feel the same displeasure and anger, they must endure until Themis' judgment is concluded when the verdict is truly upon them. No one has the ability to directly overturn the table like Hera at this moment. Facing Hera's questioning and her anger, Themis was very calm... It should be said that under normal circumstances, no other expression would appear on her face.

"Hera, you are wrong. I am not the one who judges you. I have already said..."

As she said this, Themis turned around and walked up the steps at a steady pace, step by step,

to Promise, who was sitting at the highest point of the court and watching the play.

Placing the scales of judgment on the table of promises.

"The one judging you and Aegina is Chiron's student, your follower-Promise."

As she spoke softly, she bent down and whispered in Promise's ear.

"Child, in the future, avoid interacting too much with Athena."

Learning what from whom? Learning from that goddess who loves drama!

"Hey!" Athena shouted directly, "What are you saying? I can hear you!"

"...Wait a moment." Hera frowned, shifting her gaze from Themis to Athena, and asked in confusion, "Athena, why are you here?"

"Ah? Ah, ah this... Hey?" The latter covered her lips with her hand and revealed an elegant, perfectly standard goddess smile.

Then, without waiting for Hera to continue asking, she climbed the stairs in three or two

steps and came to the other side of Promise.

On the other side, Themis, who gave the scales to Promise, now placed the sword of judgment

in her hand on the ground and stood beside him.

"Goddess Athena, this..."

Then, just when Promise was confused and was about to ask Athena.

"Judge, Promise."

She interrupted him with a smile.

Her golden eyes stared at everything in the pure white court before her.

As one of the representatives of absolute wisdom, Athena naturally saw through Themis's

plan.

That's right, Themis couldn't judge Hera.

But right now, at this moment, and in this matter.

Although he had already given Hera his all, but by some strange coincidence Promise had such

qualifications!

The evidence was that although Hera's face was full of displeasure, the thunder in her eyes disappeared at this moment, and she actually chose to stand in front of the scales of

judgment!

"....."

Promise was speechless and winked at Athena.

'No way, my wise goddess, are you sure this is a wise decision?!'

Athena didn't answer.

She spread her hands innocently to him and gestured to Themis beside him, who had actually

made the decision.

Then she turned around and ran to the audience seats, sitting down with a sense of

entitlement, eagerly awaiting the upcoming judgment.

Promise was dumbfounded.

No, are they really doing this?!

Thinking this, he couldn't help but cast his gaze at Hera.

Instinctively, he thought that the proud Hera would definitely refuse.

After all, this was an insult to her as the queen of the gods.

But...

"Let the trial begin." Taking a deep breath, Hera finally raised her head and met his gaze.

this moment, her eyes were incredibly gentle, and the smile beneath the veil was equally

soft.

"My child, my beloved follower, today you have offered me your everything, and all that you have done for me until now, your trust in me, I have always seen it and never forgotten it.

Therefore, at this moment, I, Hera, the queen of the gods, am willing to give you...

This unprecedented favor and honor!"

As Hera's voice fell, it spread in the silent, pure white courtroom.

At this moment, even the river god Aegina, who already hated Hera to the bone, was completely stunned, looking at her with an expression as if he had just met her today. As for the audience, they were completely and utterly shocked.

What did we see?

A trial, and not just any trial, but one created by the goddess of justice, Themis, herself!

And the ones being judged are the world's most noble goddess, Hera, the queen of the gods,

and their revered deity, the river god Aegina.

However, that's not the main point.

The real focus is that the one conducting the trial, seated in the supreme judgment seat, is not

the goddess of justice, Themis.

But a child... a boy!

This boy will, under their witness, judge the great gods?!
