Greek Mythology: The Spiritual Dominator

Thoughts flashed through his mind, but Zeus did not say them all.

He has no plans to lure the gods to Asgard now, and naturally he is not in a hurry to reveal the secrets there. After all, on the one hand, he has not fully recovered from his injuries, and on the other hand, his transformation of the interface has not yet been completed.

In the wreckage of that world, although most are useless things, there are still some valuable things. For example, those fragmented rune creations, such as humanistic creations that are obviously ahead of the current era, or a special place discovered by Zeus not far from the Golden Palace.

Although most of them cannot be used directly, in the future, these things will help him turn the Olympus pantheon into a whole with connected interests. They may have internal conflicts, or even be hostile to him as the divine king, but as long as the gods are still part of the divine court, Zeus doesn't really care.

I have to say that this is somewhat similar to the laws of the current world. Although there are many gods who hate the law, as long as they don't "establish their own branch", it doesn't matter what their attitude is.

In short, the matter should be put aside for a while. Zeus simply did not expect the gods to believe it or not now. What he just said was just an explanation for his previous changes in aura.

If he can really find out who the 'outsider' is in the future, everything today will naturally be remembered by the gods, thus supporting the God King's prophecy. If you can't find it for a while, it doesn't make any sense whether the gods believe it or not.

But when summoning the gods today, Zeus actually had other things to do. It's time for some farces to end.

"Okay, no matter what the world will be like in the future, it is destined to happen in the distant future. Whether it is true or false, let time witness everything."

"Since everyone is here today, let's talk about another thing first. In recent years, due to a small contradiction, the climate of the human world has changed more and more drastically."

After speaking in a deep voice, Zeus changed the topic and talked about this matter that had long been discussed on the sacred mountain.

Not many gods really took the prophecy of the God King seriously. Even if that were true, if the sky fell, there would still be God Kings and Primordial Gods holding it up, so what does it have to do with them?

Whether now or in the future, whether gods or humans, most people have this attitude towards this kind of "foreseeable but very distant huge disaster", but climate change is different.

When the long winter comes and the temperature drops sharply, in the first few years, humans on the earth can barely survive by relying on the food stored in the past and hunting. Until recently, there are finally signs of widespread famine.

The process and reasons for the whole thing have long been spread among the gods, but after all, it involves Hades and Demeter, and they are not easy to express their opinions. But now that the God King has spoken, it is probably time to end it.

"The conflict between Hades and Demeter should be over. Helios, I heard that you witnessed the beginning and end of this incident, and it was you who told the whereabouts of Pluto, the goddess of agriculture. In this case, it is up to you. Come and mediate their conflicts."

His eyes swept across the gods one by one, and finally landed on the Sun God. Zeus narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly.

He had almost forgotten before that this god who drives in the sky every day can always see something, and the most important thing is that he has no consciousness at all to report it.

"This... Your Majesty, I still have to drive the solar car, I'm afraid I don't have time-"

"It doesn't matter."

Waving his hand to interrupt Helios' reasoning, Zeus continued.

"During your absence, Apollo will complete this work for you. Just like your mother, the Titan God Theia, who also controls light, he can temporarily drive the [Sun Chariot]."

"In any case, since you leaked the whereabouts of Hades to Demeter, you should be ready to get involved."

"..."

Under Zeus' gaze, Helios remained silent.

He looked around with his peripheral vision. However, the Sun God had not noticed it before, but now he suddenly realized that before he knew it, there was no one here who could help him speak.

The descendants of the original Poseidon nominally obey the orders of the Poseidon. The God of Beauty has become a family with the God-King; the God of Wind only obeys the orders of Zeus, and the recent Goddess of Life is said to be related to the original gods and did not participate in this game from the beginning. Meeting. There used to be a goddess of the law who might be fair, but she also left Olympus hundreds of years ago.

In recent years, Helios has been immersed in the joy brought by the power of faith. The increasing power of the sun itself over time, combined with the assistance of faith, finally allowed him to barely cross the threshold of powerful divine power. But now he suddenly realized that although he had been promoted, his situation was even more dangerous.

Because he is the only 'alien' in the divine court, the one who is outside their circle.

"...As you wish, Your Majesty."

"I'll try to do something, if that really helps."

In the end, Helios agreed.

"very good."

On the throne, Zeus nodded, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

He didn't expect Helios to accept his request so easily, but it was a good thing after all.

"The disaster in the world should end. Let's get this matter done as soon as possible. But Helios, you have to remember that this is just a mediation."

Signaling the Sun God to set off, Zeus said slowly at the end:

"Persephone never came to Olympus, so Hades is not guilty. Demeter loves her daughter very much, and what she did is understandable. This is a conflict with no right or wrong, and what the Divine Court needs , just to end this natural disaster.”

······

Flying out of Olympus, Helios remained expressionless the whole time.

If a person sits on the sacred mountain, disaster will come from heaven. Everyone knows that mediating the conflict between the two main gods is not a good job, or is it a conflict where neither party is at fault.

If you are not careful, the meddler will be hated by both Pluto and the Goddess of Agriculture. Even the attitude of the God King himself is so ambiguous. But in the end, the Sun God agreed.

He could actually refuse. After all, Helios had not made any mistakes. The God-King can make requests, but he cannot be punished on this basis. Otherwise, if his behavior affects the movement of the sun, part of the consequences will be borne by Zeus's royal power.

Although he did not understand the nature of the grand ceremony, over the years, Helios gradually discovered that this third-generation god-king seemed to be relatively protective of order. But the idea of ​​insisting on the evidence only rose in the heart of the Sun God for a moment, and then disappeared without a trace.

Because he then heard Zeus say that when he entered the underground, Apollo could drive the sun for him.

Borrowing artifacts among the gods is not a rare thing. When the God King said this, he didn't think it would make Helios think too much. This was even the case for him in the original myth.

However, at that moment, the Sun God suddenly remembered something that happened a long time ago, which was his conversation with Prometheus.

‘You don’t need to worry now, but if another god is born who is qualified to drive the sun car in the future, then you should be careful. ’

Time has passed, and for Helios today, he no longer needs the help of artifacts to move the sun. The golden car only allows him to be more relaxed and casual, rather than a necessary existence. But for others, this sacred car specially used to drive the sun can make people who can't do it originally become able to do it. .

And Apollo is such an existence.

"So...is this the outcome you had foreseen?"

"You can't see your own disaster, but you are so aware of other people's disasters...it's really ridiculous."

Speeding through the sky, Helios felt as if he was back in the eye of the sea.

Cold, depressing, heavy, lonely. Except for the temperature, it was just like the time when he was locked in the sun by his father, making him not want to remember it at all.

"Go to him. He said he could give me a suggestion... No, this is impossible!"

As soon as an idea arose, it was immediately snuffed out by Helios. He won't go to Prometheus, not because he doesn't want to admit that the other party is smarter than himself, but for another reason.

First, he was not the only one present at the time, but there were two other people responsible for escorting the other party.

The Sun God was not sure whether the children of Styx had told Zeus about this conversation. Although they were most likely not talkative people, if they were, then everything today was probably a test by the God King.

Once he goes to the Eye of the Sea privately and violates the judgment of the Divine Court on sinners, it is very likely that Zeus will be able to find an honest reason to punish him.

As for the second one...

Silent, Helios said that he just made a mistake that all the gods of Chaos would make.

He rolled into a bed with his wife's sister, Clymene, the goddess of fame, the wife of his uncle Iapetus, the god of speech, and the mother goddess of Prometheus, Epimetheus and Atlas. Even recently, he gave the Illuminati a demigod half-brother.

In this case, the Sun God felt that it was better not to deal with the other party more. Although this matter is still a secret, as long as a second person knows about it, it may be leaked.

Even caring so much about his own creation, who knows how Prometheus would view this matter. If the other party tries to trick him even at the cost of a more severe punishment, then he is asking for trouble.

"Damn it, why didn't I think of it..."

He cursed secretly, but thinking of Clymene's charming figure, the Sun God was not sure whether he could refuse the other party if he had to do it again.

But no matter what, it's time for him to find a home for himself. He didn't hesitate when he betrayed Cronus, but now Helios can't be said to be loyal to Zeus. However, the idea occurred, but the Sun God suddenly found that he had nowhere to go.

You cannot go to the spirit world. After all, the "Sun Chariot" was built by the Lord of the Spirit World. Whenever he drove the car through the sky, Helios could remember that even though he was the sun god, he could not control the ecliptic. Twelve star fields.

If he had the blessing of the Zodiac Realms, he would have entered the realm of powerful divine power hundreds of years ago, but now, it is controlled by some star gods who are far less powerful than him. So if I really want to ask for protection from the spirit world, I'm afraid I can only be a watchdog, which is no better than trying to survive in Olympus.

As for relying on the relationship with his official wife, the goddess of boiling water Perseis, to join the Oceanic God System? Just thinking about it, Helios once again rejected the idea.

Today's Oceanus and Thesis are by no means Zeus's opponents, and they may not offend Olympus for themselves. What's more, the sun and the four seas are naturally in conflict with each other. For two consecutive epochs, the sun has been "bathing" in the sea.

As for the other primitive gods... Thinking about the goddess of life who was still on the mountain, Helios had no expectations for the Lord of Darkness. As for Ms. Nyx of Eternal Night, he had never heard of her in the past three epochs.

"So, after thinking about it, Gaia is actually my only choice now?"

The corner of his mouth twitched a little, but the Sun God didn't want to deal with this 'old grandmother' if there was even the slightest possibility. But unfortunately, the reality is so cruel.

Only this frustrated Earth Mother Goddess might help him, and strictly speaking, the relationship between the two is not bad. The sun brings warmth to the earth, and even if there is no compatibility between the priests, there is no conflict.

"...Forget it, let's go see her first, just treat it like visiting an elder."

"If Earth Mother is still so unreliable - I don't seem to have any other choice."

Feeling sad for the 'sun''s misfortune again, Helios couldn't help but speed up.

That was why he had accepted the errand. The Earth Mother had not returned to Delphi and there was no trace of her on the earth. The place where she last appeared was suspected to be the portal to the Abyss of the Underworld.

Go to the surface of the abyss and look around at other places. No matter what, this is his only choice...

So in a corner where no one noticed, Helios' figure rushed into the ground. And silently, the fate of the world took another turn.

······

Earth, Eleusis.

"it's over."

Looking at the brown light flying back to the city from afar, Volos, who had been waiting for three days, nodded.

The opponent is finally back, but looking at it this way, this Poseidon seems to be quite fierce... Yes, after all, the Poseidon is targeting all species, so why not be more fierce?

"Let's go, finish the last two things, and then go home."

After waving to Eros, the small wings on Volos' back flapped slightly, then turned into a stream of light and flew towards the temple.
