Cheating players in Marvel

EP1630. Deep in the starry sky

The saying that gods and creatures have spirits also applies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The more advanced the treasure, the more picky it is. It must meet certain conditions in order to be recognized by it and become its new owner.

Mjolnir in Thor's hand is the most typical example. In addition, the god-slaying sword that appeared in "Thor 4: Love and Thunder" also perfectly fits this principle.

As for the specific conditions that need to be met in order to be recognized as an artifact...

Each artifact has its own personality, and they have different requirements for their owners.

The conditions for identifying the owner of some artifacts are mainly reflected in bloodline, that is, no matter what the candidate's strength and potential are, as long as he has that bloodline, he can pass the certification. Generally speaking, artifacts of this type belong to the father.

The type of inheritance often occurs within certain large forces that have completed inheritance.

Some artifacts are picky about character and will, and will give priority to objects whose character matches their appetite as their masters.

Mjolnir mentioned before falls into this category.

There are also some artifacts that will choose their owners based on their 'attributes'. To put it bluntly, users with the same attributes who can bring out the power of the artifact to a greater extent will be given priority as their new owners.

The 'Settorak's Crimson Demonic Belt' in Bayonetta's hand can be regarded as a representative of this type of artifact.

Finally, there are a few artifacts that are quite special. The reasons why they choose their masters are all very strange. Each one is a special case and cannot be summarized at all.

The flying cloak, which is currently stored in the New York Temple and is destined to be mixed up with Strange in the future, can barely be classified into this category.

That's a bit far.

Let us move our eyes back and focus on the pair of swords and shields in the hands of Athena Asamiya.

Why do they suddenly wake up from their deep sleep and take the initiative to recognize Asamiya Athena as their master?

It’s not because the dead goddess Athena left a piece of hard work and was inherited by Asamiya Athena. It’s not because Asamiya Athena’s superpower has very special attributes, which are exactly the same as the divine power possessed by the goddess Athena.

The real key lies in the unity of soul and will.

As mentioned before, in another world, the previous life or prototype of Asamiya Athena was a character named Princess Athena. According to the character setting, Princess Athena is the goddess Athena in that world.

Isotopic body.

In the world of "Saint Seiya", it is Sasha and it is Kido Saori.

In the world of "The King of Fighters", it's Athena Asamiya.

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it is Athena who was assassinated by Zeus.

Although they are not the same person, if you trace their origins further, they all have the same origin, and each of them is the incarnation of Athena.

They all have different looks, and there will be some differences in personality, but the nobility and justice hidden deep in the soul are the same. Whether it is Athena Asamiya or Saori Kido, they may have passed away.

The Athena is a righteous partner with a beautiful heart. The ideals they have, including the expectations deep in their hearts, are the same.

Because of this, the Sword of the Goddess of Victory and the Shield of Aegis will automatically release their seals, appear in front of Athena Asamiya, and recognize her as their master without hesitation.

To put it more bluntly, they regard Asamiya Athena as the original owner. From their point of view, there is no such thing as "changing the owner" at all.

Of course, when Athena Asamiya can fully integrate this inheritance and fully adapt to this new pair of swords and shields, that is another matter. In the end, she was not the one killed by Zeus after all.

The skills that came with the weapons were still somewhat unfamiliar to her.

Just like Shi Xiaolei had to spend time leveling up before he could become truly powerful after receiving the Barbarian inheritance, Athena Asamiya also had to spend some time getting used to it before she could gradually master and develop new abilities, and finally achieve mastery.

Deep in the distant starry sky, there is an unknown secret hidden in a certain nebula.

The lush flowers and plants exude a refreshing fragrance. The aroma of fine wine and delicacies makes people involuntarily intoxicated. Amidst the melodious and somewhat psychedelic music, the graceful girls are dancing. Following their movements

From time to time, the movements revealed some confusing fleshy light, which made the eyes of the men sitting behind the table go straight.

Friends who have watched "Thor: Love and Thunder" should be able to tell who the person sitting in the main seat is at a glance.

That's right, the old man surrounded by a few beauties in ragged clothes was Zeus, who spoke volumes in the Council of Gods and was honored as the King of Kings by many gods.

Although he left the earth and hid in the Pantheon deep in the universe, this does not mean that Zeus will give up his power and hide among the gods as an ordinary god, changing his past low-key life.

In fact it's quite the opposite.

Relying on the divine power drawn from the gods he killed and the various artifacts recovered, Zeus's personal strength not only did not decline, but actually improved slightly compared to when he stayed on earth. In addition, he himself

The divine power of thunder itself comes with a few rules of judgment, which can restrain other gods to a certain extent...

When Zeus brought the remaining Olympian gods to the Pantheon, it didn't take long for him to realize that his strength was not inferior to that of the 'Chancellor' at the time. Then, Zeus took action without hesitation

, while secretly using all kinds of dirty tricks to throw dirty water on the 'speaker' who had the power to speak, and ruining his reputation and popularity, he also recruited helpers to gather strength and prepare for his subsequent rebellion.

It's easier to achieve things if you calculate mentally but not intentionally. What's more, Zeus has done similar things before (taking the lead in overthrowing the rule of Cronus), and he is considered an experienced veteran in the field of 'rebellion'.

Soon after, Zeus got what he wanted, overthrowing the leadership of the previous speaker and replacing him, becoming the new speaker of the Council of Gods.

Up to now, Zeus has been in this position for more than a thousand years and almost two thousand years.

For gods whose lifespan is long and almost immortal, nearly two thousand years is far from being called a long time. No, it should be said to be very short.

Therefore, even if Zeus made some mistakes, the gods did not take them to heart.

To put it simply, this is like a player making a mistake at the beginning of the first half of a football match. Considering that the game has just begun, neither the coach nor the audience in the stands will be right about it.

If the person who made the mistake is too harsh, send another person to replace him immediately.

Most of the time, I would say in my mind, ‘This is just the beginning, don’t pay too much attention’, and wait and see for a while. Even if I decided to make a substitution, I would put it off until halftime.

In addition, after Zeus succeeded to the throne, he put forward the policy of "enjoyment is the most important" and came up with various tricks to allow the gods to enjoy supreme pleasure...

For more than a thousand and nearly two thousand years, Zeus's position has remained firm.

In line with his good at creating atmosphere, he can always stimulate the mood of the gods with his words like a talk show actor to mobilize the emotions of the audience. As time goes by, Zeus quietly builds himself into an idol among the gods, and the harvest is subtle.

Get more recognition and support from gods.

Either you really feel that he is very powerful and someone worth following; or you choose to blindly follow him like a star chaser; or you just ignore the matter and just follow the crowd for fun...

Even though Zeus called himself the King of Kings and unabashedly stated that he would never let anyone replace him as the next Speaker, the gods did not object or protest at all.

Let Zeus be the speaker, your own interests will not be harmed, and you can enjoy a lot of fun, so why not?

In short, the gods are still very cooperative with Zeus's leadership. For example, now, a large number of gods have come to the party held by Zeus and participated in this debauched party organized by him.

"Hahahahaha~! This guy is really mean~!"

"Come on~! Big head~! Don't lose to that little dwarf~!"

"Little guy, use harder and go faster~!"

There are two weird-looking gods in the middle of the field, and they are competing with each other. In order to avoid being 404, what events they are competing on will not be described in detail here.

The gods sitting around were all looking very excited. Some of them were so excited that they couldn't control themselves, and even said all kinds of dirty words that were unbearable. If you close your eyes and don't look at people and just listen to the sounds,

At least eight or nine out of ten people will think that they have fallen into a bunch of gangsters instead of staying with the gods.

Zeus, who initiated the party, flushed with excitement, subconsciously put his hand into the maid's arms, and couldn't help but squeeze it.

Just then.

"Zeus." An ugly-looking man appeared quietly in front of Zeus.

Following the direction of the sound, he turned his head and took a look. Most of the excitement on Zeus's face had faded, and he showed an undisguised look of disgust, and his eyes narrowed: "What are you doing here? Hepheus.

Thos.”

In the previous civil war, Hephaestus took a lot of advantage. Logically speaking, Zeus should reward Hephaestus for his contribution.

But what about actually?

Apart from verbal praise, Zeus did not make any substantive remarks. Even the residence assigned to Hephaestus took almost two hundred years to be given to him, and it was still a building that had been abandoned for a long time and no one wanted it.

Take over the ruined temple.

That is Hephaestus. If it were another person, such as Ares, the god of war, or Apollo, the sun god, it would be absolutely impossible to recognize him like this.

As for why Hephaestus is willing to endure this humiliation...

The reason still lies in his beloved wife Aphrodite.

After Zeus brought the remnants of the Olympus clan to the Pantheon, Aphrodite immediately hooked up with some gods from other pantheons. In Zeus's words, she had received his orders and was taking care of herself.

She worked hard to open up the scene for the gods of Olympus and win over new friends worth making. But in fact, those behaviors should be said to be due to Aphrodite's nature. The so-called 'making connections' are just a casual gesture.

Just do it.

But Hephaestus was an extremely infatuated fool.

He didn't think that was Aphrodite's original intention, and felt that she was just following Zeus's order. So, in order to relieve the pressure on Aphrodite and let her return to him, Hephaestus not only did not

He complained to Zeus that his contribution was ignored and forgotten, but he adopted a more positive attitude and spared no effort to make more contributions.

Speaking of which, part of the credit for why Zeus was able to win over so many gods should go to Hephaestus.

You know, at least 70% of the 'little gifts' sent by Zeus were made by Hephaestus himself. Although those gadgets are not very advanced, most of them are just more interesting than

Practical 'toys', but in the final analysis, Hephaestus still spent a lot of time and energy in order to create these things.

And now...

Hephaestus took the initiative to come to Zeus and reported a piece of news that only he knew: "Your Majesty, I just sensed a wave. Do you still remember the pair of weapons that Athena used? Not long ago

Before, they broke the seal and I sensed them again."

"Okay, okay, I know..." Because his eyes stayed on the two gods competing with each other in the middle of the field, Zeus' reaction was half a beat slow: "Huh? What did you say?"

"The two weapons I personally made for Athena before, namely the Sword of the Goddess of Victory and the Shield of Aegeus, have appeared again." Seeing Zeus's dark face, Hephaestus couldn't help but feel flustered.

He quickly hunched over and lowered his head.

"Are you sure? Raise your head and look at me." Zeus' tone became serious: "Hephaestus, you know, if this news..."

"I'm sure, Your Majesty." He lowered his head, and Hephaestus did not dare to hesitate at all: "After all, weapons as outstanding as them cannot be made casually. Even I,

It also requires luck. So, after successfully building them, I was very happy to leave the mark of divine power on them."

"Well... I heard you say that more than two thousand years ago." Recalling it for a moment, Zeus's eyes flashed with malice again: "The answer you gave me at that time was that because of the seal left by Athena, so

You’ve never been able to find them, right?”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Then what's going on now?" Zeus continued to ask: "After so many years, I suddenly sensed their existence? Are you kidding me?"

"No, how dare I. Your Majesty, please believe me, what I say is true." He defended himself for a few words, and when Zeus's face softened a little, Hephaestus said cautiously: "Maybe, yes

There were some coincidences that caused the seal left by Athena on the weapon to become invalid? There is another possibility, although it may make you very unhappy. Well, what I want to say is... maybe, maybe, Athena was

Were you not executed?"

"Huh? What did you say?!"
