Greece brings evildoers

Chapter 383 Battle for the Right to Courtship (4.5k)

Athens, Ares Mountain.

The gods gathered in the meeting hall, their faces were gloomy.

The current situation is not optimistic.

On the one hand, the army of old gods composed of Kronos and Typhon is eyeing them covetously, and because of their own powerful immortality, they are extremely difficult to deal with and difficult to resist;

On the other hand, Zeus, the king of gods who bear the destiny, has turned against them and even taken the opportunity to attack the Bronze Clan and Poseidon, causing the complete fall of the Oceanus Sea.

Although the goddess of justice Themis and the goddess of the hearth Hestia revived and returned at the critical moment and successfully blocked Typhon and his demon army from landing, they could not replace the role of Poseidon and the Bronze Clan, nor could they change the dangerous situation of being attacked from three sides.

If things have not turned around before the third battle of the giants, they will definitely lose!

After a long silence, Hermes spoke with a twinkling gaze.

"Is it possible... that we make peace? Compared to us, Typhon and Kronos should prefer to be close to the Father?"

"Theoretically feasible."

Athena nodded gently, but then changed the subject.

"But guess why Typhon and Kronos did not attack Olympus, but chose to capture Thessaly and the entire Peloponnese first?"

Hermes thought for a moment and frowned slightly.

"They, are not sure?"

"More than..."

Lorne took over the conversation and sighed helplessly.

"Pure faith and dreams woven with the pure souls of humans can firmly confine the bodies of the old gods to the Tartarus hell. If they want to regain their original power, gain true liberation, and weaken the power of the new gods, they must destroy the human city-states."

The gods shook their heads when they heard this.

Although humans and faith are the shackles of the old gods, they are their foundation. Once humans are slaughtered by Kronos and Typhon, there is no guarantee that these old predecessors will not take care of them as well.

Therefore, they must first capture the city-states on the ground and destroy the sacred fire for the gods, so that they can restore their peak and compete with Zeus for the final throne.

In this way, the contradiction between humans and the old gods is almost irreconcilable.

Of course, in addition to this, there is another reason why the two sides cannot reconcile, which Loen did not say clearly.

Typhon and Kronos have reached a desperate point in order to unify the divinity.

And it just so happens that both the [blood species] needed by Typhon to perfect [immortality] and the [foundation] needed by Kronos to cast the [crown] are all in the Ares Mountain.

One is the descendants of Typhon who have the blood of Typhon, and the other is the two Titan gods Mnemosyne and Themis.

At present, the enemy is strong and we are weak. If we want to reach a cooperation with the old gods, we need to pay enough chips to impress the other party.

The price is either human beings, or the descendants of Typhon and the two Titan gods.

No matter which side is sacrificed, it is a result that Lorn cannot accept.

Moreover, if Zeus is considered anthropomorphic, Typhon and Kronos are simply not human.

Once Typhon and Kronos get what they want and break their own shackles, according to the virtues of these two, it is difficult for Lorn to guarantee that they will not turn against each other and swallow the weakest Olympus first.

Let's take a step back, even if Typhon and Kronos are willing to abide by the agreement and join forces with them to besiege Zeus first.

But in the end, whether the old gods who broke the shackles win or Zeus with the blessing of destiny is stronger, the fate of the new gods is self-evident.

Even without waiting for the end of the battle, the new god alliance that sacrificed teammates in order to survive will be in danger and gradually fall apart.

In short, the strategy of peacemaking seems clever, but it is a dead end when implemented.

"What should we do? We can't just sit there and wait for death, right?"

Ares, who was hot-tempered, slammed the table and stood up angrily.

"In my opinion, we should just go to Olympus first and ask the father for an explanation. I don't believe he can violate the [Destiny Contract] and kill us all!"

"Even if he doesn't kill us, he can imprison us for three to five hundred years, waiting for the time limit of the destiny contract to pass, or the old gods destroy our holy land and attack Olympus. What will you do then?"

Hera snorted and asked back, then glared at her reckless son.

"Sit down!"

Ares was speechless and could only sit back in his original position in dismay.

Unable to reconcile with the old gods, and unable to ask Zeus for accountability, this is simply a dead end with a dilemma.

The gods are troubled by the current situation, and even regret getting involved in this battle of giants.

"In fact, there are ways to win this war of gods..."

The gods were shocked by the long groaning and looked at Loen.

"What do you mean?"

"Last time Zeus took action, he used the excuse of eradicating the remnants of the bronze clan, but did not openly tear his face apart, which means that he is still afraid. And looking at the entire God Age, who can intimidate our Majesty?"

"The three goddesses of fate!"

After Loen's meaningful reminder, the gods suddenly realized.

That's right! As the God King of Destiny, Zeus enjoys the favor of destiny, but he also needs to bear the restrictions of destiny.

This is both his advantage and his weakness.

Seeing that the gods understood what he meant, Loen spoke out his plan in a deep voice.

"I will go to the Temple of Fate before the third Giant War and ask the three goddesses of fate to limit the abuse of power of the God King."

Several main gods hesitated: "If they disagree..."

"If I can convince them once, I will convince them a second time!"

Lorne answered proudly, looking confident.

When the gods heard this, they couldn't help but think of the Battle of Olympus, where the god of wine forced the three goddesses of fate to mediate in person. They immediately felt relieved, and the haze that had originally shrouded their minds was mostly dispersed.

Athena nodded slightly and changed the subject.

"Then next, we only need to consider how to deal with the coalition forces of Typhon and Kronos."

Hearing this topic, the gods frowned again and discussed the current situation distressedly.

"We fight Typhon and Kronos?"

"The Bronze Clan has been destroyed, and Poseidon is also in danger. Without them, a coastal wall alone may not be able to stop Typhon from landing."

"The same is true for Thessaly. In the two battles, the conventional human military and heroes with divine blood suffered many casualties, and they were simply no match for the giants with the protection of the earth."

"Moreover, Kronos and his nine Titan gods are even more difficult to deal with, and are almost immortal!"

"Once Typhon breaks through the coastal wall, captures the coastal city-states, overthrows our temples, extinguishes our sacred fire, and then joins Kronos, we will definitely lose!"

"..."

"But they are not without weaknesses!"

The solemn murmur stopped the somewhat decadent discussions of the gods, and a series of burning eyes focused on the leader of the coalition.

Unconsciously, they had a kind of indescribable recognition and expectation for this temporary leader.

Because he always seems to be able to bring a glimmer of hope and possibility in desperate situations.

And Lorne did not disappoint them and gave a calm answer.

"The descendants of Typhon have already surrendered to the Ares Mountain. As long as we deal with that demon ancestor, without its control, the beast tide of the Oceanus Sea will collapse on its own."

"And Kronos' power comes from the [Crown] on his head. I have personally tested it on the battlefield in Thessaly. Once this thing is destroyed, Kronos and the nine Titans will also lose their connection. At that time, it is not impossible to defeat the giants."

The eyes of the gods lit up and their confidence doubled.

However, the sensitive Hermes was not as optimistic as the other gods, and frowned to remind them.

"But they will come back. In the long run, they can still wear us down through a war of attrition!"

"So, this brings us to the second weakness of Kronos and the giants, or the [death point]..."

Lorne's eyes flickered slightly, and he turned to look at the burly figure at the end of the long table who was attending the meeting on behalf of the human side.

"Hercules, do you remember the things you saw when you were led underground during the first battle with the giants?"

Hercules thought for a moment and suddenly realized.

"You mean the temples built underground?"

Lorne nodded slightly and spoke in a deep voice.

"The power of the old gods is restricted by Tartarus. If they want to go to the surface and exert their power, they must need a [springboard]."

"Hearing you say that, I seem to remember that the number of those temples is exactly the same as the number of Titan gods, and the divine emblems engraved in the temples are also completely consistent with the divine emblems that appear when the Titan gods activate their power!"

Hercules slapped his head and added excitedly.

Lorne nodded, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the [God's Throne] mentioned by Kronos. As long as we can destroy the Titan temples underground and the divine emblems on them, we can drive the will of the Titan gods to rise back to Tartarus!"

The gods were excited and happy when they heard this.

In this way, the crisis in Thessaly can be resolved. Typhon is alone, and without the strong support of the giants, he can't cause any trouble.

As the thorny problems were solved one by one, the haze in the hearts of the gods seemed to have dissipated. They left the scene one after another with satisfaction, returned to their respective holy places to recuperate, or made various arrangements and arrangements to prepare for the arrival of the third giant war.

After sending off the main gods outside the Ares Mountain system, Hestia couldn't wait to stand up from her seat.

"What do you want to eat tonight? We will cook it ourselves!"

As she said, she grabbed Loen's arm and prepared to take her former subordinate god into the kitchen to prepare a meal to celebrate this hard-won reunion.

However, Loen on the seat did not move at all, and coughed helplessly.

"Wait a minute..."

Hestia was slightly stunned, turned her head and found that Athena, Themis, Hera, Mnemosyne and other main gods were sitting in their original positions, frowning, and suddenly a little surprised.

"What's wrong with you? Aren't all the problems solved?"

"Solved?"

Athena rolled her eyes at her aunt, and then looked at Loen unhappily.

"It's the same as saying nothing about his three ideas!"

"Huh?"

Hestia was a little surprised when she heard this.

"Shouldn't it be? I think they are all useful."

"Then tell me how to use them?"

Athena snorted and asked three questions in succession.

"First, how to convince the three goddesses of destiny? The last time they were willing to end, it was because the order of the Gods was about to collapse, but they are far from that step now!"

"Second, is Typhon easy to solve? Who will solve it? There is only one guy. Which side will Thessaly and the coastal wall guard?"

"Thirdly, how to destroy the Titan Temple? It is indeed the death spot of the giant spirit family, but since it is the death spot, the opponent will also guard against it, and we cannot determine the location of the temple at all. Once Cronus Appearing on the battlefield with the nine Titan Lords, this guy can't escape. Even if there is a chance, who can he find to go deep behind enemy lines and destroy the Titan Temple? "

"To put it bluntly, what he said is to tell you: As long as you work hard, you can succeed, but how to work hard, in which direction to work hard, and to what extent you work hard are all blank."

Hestia suddenly felt confused as she listened, and couldn't help but look at Lorne beside her as if asking for help.

Lorne coughed dryly and spoke.

"I'm going to discuss with you exactly what to do."

After realizing that she, like the gods outside, had been deceived by someone, Hestia quickly sat down and said nothing about preparing meals.

Athena, on the other hand, looked like she had known this for a long time and asked in a deep voice.

"Let's talk about the first one first. How sure are you of convincing the three goddesses of fate?"

"Thirty percent..."

"So low?"

"To put it more seriously, if you think I am a roundworm in the belly of those three people, what will they believe in what I say?"

Lorne rolled his eyes at Athena, and then continued to add helplessly.

"And I just dealt with them last time. I cheated them in disguise. I don't know if these three will be wary of me because of this."

"What if...I go?"

Lorne was startled for a moment and looked up at Themis. Suddenly he seemed to think of something, his eyes twinkling faintly.

"Perhaps, the certainty can be increased to 50%..."

"Okay! You can teach me in advance what I should say and what I shouldn't say when the time comes."

Themis nodded without hesitation, her eyes firm.

"I will convince the three goddesses of destiny to restrain Zeus from abusing his power!"

"So confident?"

Lorne looked at Themis with surprise on his face.

Themis recalled in her mind the [Destiny Contract] that bound the gods, as well as the scenes she saw along the way after the war, raised the sword of judgment in her hand, and spoke seriously.

"You have accomplished what you promised me, and what I promised will definitely be accomplished!"

Lorne looked deeply at the goddess of justice, placed his hand on the golden scale on the hilt of the sword, and solemnly commanded her.

"Okay, I'll leave this to you!"

Themis nodded lightly, raised her hand to take back the sword of judgment that had witnessed the agreement, and looked at this male god who was similar to Zeus but seemed completely different with her veiled eyes, with a trace of emotion on her face. A faint smile.

"When I come back, I want to hear you talk about the future of mankind and the law."

"Extremely happy!"

Lorne readily agreed, and as he met the eyes of the goddess of justice, a subtle atmosphere gradually filled the air.

"cough……"

Athena coughed heavily, breaking the silence in the hall, and spoke solemnly.

"On the other side of the coast wall, I will do everything possible to hold Typhon back and create opportunities for you to open up the situation on the battlefield in Thessaly!"

Hestia looked at Athena and Themis, whose eyes met, and seemed to smell an invisible smell of gunpowder, and couldn't help scratching her head in confusion.

Strange, why are they competing?

"cough!"

At the same time, Hera supported her white arms and also stood up from her seat.

"As for how to locate the Titan Temple, I remembered a person..."

"Who?" Lorne's eyes lit up and he asked impatiently.

Hera straightened her slender neck, met Lorne's expectant eyes, and answered with a smile.

"The Fire Thief - Prometheus!"

Yes, why did you forget him!

Lorne slapped his forehead and looked happy.

Something is wrong, something is wrong with them all!

Hestia on the side looked at the three goddesses who were standing one after another, their eyes meeting each other, and a strong sense of crisis appeared in her heart. She immediately got excited, stood up from her seat, patted her chest, and showed off loudly.

"Prometheus? I know that guy! I can get in touch with him!"

"real?"

In an instant, all the gods looked at Hestia with surprise and burning eyes.

For a moment, Hestia, who was being watched by everyone, felt a mountain of pressure. She couldn't help but shrink her neck and spoke cautiously.

"Yes, probably..."
