Chapter 133: Twilight

High above, a divine light raced across the sky, heading straight for Eryxis from afar.

At that moment, Poseidon, pierced by the Golden Arrow, had nothing else in his heart but an intense love for Demeter. Unable to bear any delay, the Sea Emperor made no attempt to hide his whereabouts, and openly flew towards the Great Temple at the northern edge of the city.

It was the first, and so far the largest, temple that the citizens of Eryxis had built for the Goddess of Agriculture. Or rather, so far it was only its core that had been completed; the rest was still under construction.

The main reason such an important building was located outside the city rather than within was that the city center was already occupied by the palace.

The abode of the gods naturally wouldn't yield to that of humans, but razing the palace would take far too long. So, to the north of the city, people had chosen the best location and planned to use it as the center for the expansion of Eryxis.
