Greek Mythology: The Spiritual Dominator
Chapter 321: Each with their own agenda
Erebus's plan was very simple, and it wasn't even a plan at all. He just described such a situation.
As long as Zeus could use some means to make Ryan attack him first, Erebus would follow his promise and come to help him, and not just him alone.
In addition to Zeus and himself, he also thought of several people who could threaten Ryan. And they had enough reasons to attack him, and they could even become a threat to Zeus after everything was over.
Yes, becoming a threat to Zeus, after all, he never intended to really create a god king who ruled everything... and when he achieved his wish, the existence of the god king would be a trouble.
"It sounds feasible, but how do you plan to guarantee that you will fulfill your promise? The Styx cannot bind you, this is something we all know."
Standing on the cliff, Zeus thought for a while. He looked a little tempted, but in fact he was secretly alert in his heart.
The abnormal flow of the world's power obviously had some changes, and the Lord of Darkness happened to come to see him at this time. No matter how you think about it, there must be some conspiracy that goes against the rules of the world.
When you don't know what the other party wants to do, the best way is to refuse. As long as he doesn't accept it, he will never suffer a loss. However, when the words came to his lips, Zeus hesitated, because he suddenly realized that although Erebus might have his own plan, this might not be another opportunity for him.
The Lord of Darkness wanted him to target the spirit world and exaggerate the threat of the other party... But what about the spirit world? Is it really his biggest enemy now?
I'm afraid not necessarily. In fact, it is more of a loss of face, and the real impact on the Olympus God Court is not that great.
Over the years, the "hard work" of Zeus and other gods has not been in vain. Humans with divine blood have long been all over the earth, and their noble bloodline has made them an indispensable part of the ruling class.
Not everyone of them may fear the gods, and there are even some rebellious beings like Tantalus among these descendants of gods, but in any case, they are basically proud of the divine blood in their bodies.
Everyone above me is equal, and the class below me is clear. This can be said to be the inner portrayal of many descendants of gods. On the one hand, some of them think that they should have a status comparable to the gods. They question the power of the gods and think that they are just so-so. But on the other hand, they think that compared with mortals without divine blood, the descendants of gods are two completely different classes.
They are born to be rulers, and mortals are servants to be driven. In this case, the doctrine of Silver Moon City denies the gods, which is actually denying the noble legal system of these nobles.
Those devout believers of the Olympian gods will not compromise with Silver Moon City. Those humans who may not be pious but have power are also unwilling to accept this idea. This is also the reason why the belief in the Olympian pantheon in the world is still as stable as Mount Tai, even though all the expeditions under the suggestion of the gods have failed.
Interests are the root of everything. Over the years, Zeus has figured out a way to deal with humans. In contrast, he thinks that many of Silver Moon City's practices are too naive.
If there is no extraordinary power in this world, and there is no blood of gods, then their doctrine of self-centeredness may really have an advantage. But there is no if in reality, so their extreme thoughts are a kind of bondage.
After thinking about these things, things become clear. Perhaps the existence of Silver Moon City is not that important. Even if they are defeated, the extra faith will not bring any qualitative change to Zeus... But a real war involving all gods and humans may be able to do so.
The Olympus God Court has ruled the world for thousands of years. It is no longer as weak as when it was born, and the current God King is no longer the one who first ascended the throne. He has more and more descendants, and their strength is getting stronger and stronger. From the sky to the earth, from the past to the future, there are many creatures chanting the name of Zeus. Maybe at this time, he should clean up some troubles left over from the old times.
For example, those Titan gods who do not obey orders and occupy the stars as kings, such as the Ocean Lord who has not yet officially bowed to him, and even Hades, the King of the Underworld, who has drifted further and further away from Olympus after marrying the Queen of the Underworld, and is not sure what small actions he is doing in his own territory.
Their obedience to him is all superficial, so that in terms of authority, Zeus's [royal power] has not increased much power. So now he needs a war, but not to wipe out Silver Moon City or defeat the primitive ancient gods far away in the spirit world. What he really wants to do is to use this as an excuse to involve all the gods in this world in this war.
Whether or not he can defeat Ryan is not important. It is good if he can, but it doesn't matter if he can't. Zeus is not arrogant enough to think that he can enter the spirit world now. That is something he needs to consider after he truly unifies the world.
What he really needs is to use this to wipe out the troubles that have been left behind. At that time... when his [royal power] covers the starry sky and the sea, the mountains and the netherworld, then under the favor of the laws of the world, I am afraid that even Erebus will no longer be his opponent.
On that day, he will be the true master of all gods.
"Give your guarantee. I can start first, but you can't just stand by and watch."
It seems that a long time has passed, but it is only a moment. Zeus looks like he has been persuaded by the Lord of Darkness, but his expression is still a little hesitant.
"Guarantee... What kind of guarantee do you want?"
Asking back, Erebus smiled secretly at Zeus who seemed a little moved.
Guarantee doesn't matter, as long as Zeus is willing to take the lead, he has no intention of breaking the contract anyway. As long as Zeus takes action, he will follow suit.
Regarding dealing with Ryan, he has made two plans for winning and losing. But no matter what, he will definitely fight.
"Three conditions."
"First, your forces in the human world must join this war, that is, those lives living underground, and they must fight together with the believers of Olympus; second, you must hand over the golden apple tree to me. From now on, the goddess of life will completely become a part of the temple, and will have nothing to do with you. Finally... I want you to persuade those gods in the underworld to serve me secretly. As far as I know, they were born at the end of the First Age under the power of you and the Mother of Night."
"The Mother of Night has never asked about their existence, let alone regarded them as offspring, and you did the same before. But if you are willing to speak now, I think they will know who to be loyal to."
"Three conditions, not difficult. But Zeus, I am also working for you, why does it seem like I am doing things for me?"
Erebus said casually with an unchanged smile.
"Do things for me?"
Zeus shook his head slightly and said indifferently:
"I will not make such an arbitrary decision before I figure out what the fluctuation of the world power means to you."
"..."
The scene was quiet for a while.
The weakening of the world power must mean that something that conflicts with the laws of the world can be done more easily...The God King and the Primordial God looked at each other for a while, then turned away. Maybe they all have their own ideas, but now at least one thing is the same.
They all think that they should take action against Silver Moon City, and they all think that a war of gods with the gods of the spirit world is needed.
And Ryan's existence is the final BOSS of this war.
"I accept your conditions."
"The dark elves have multiplied, and the golden apple is not so important to them. You will get what you want, but I also hope to see your actions."
"You will see it, and the development of things will definitely be beyond your expectations."
Exhaling a breath, Zeus nodded with satisfaction, and another hidden danger of his own was eliminated.
As one of the twelve pillars supporting the kingship, the body of the goddess of life is not on Mount Olympus, but under the control of the Lord of Darkness. This is something Zeus has only recently discovered, and this matter has always been a thorn in his throat. Now that he can take the opportunity to solve this problem, it has reduced his worries.
As for the remaining two conditions, let alone the latter, the main reason for the former is that Zeus is really afraid that Ryan has not been brought out yet, and the Olympus system will not be able to defeat Silver Moon City in the human world.
Although this possibility is not very large, after all, every previous conflict was mostly carried out under the suggestion of the gods. It was just a single act of a mortal kingdom, and failure was inevitable. However, just in case, and in order to let Erebus participate more deeply, Zeus still made this request.
The conditions were negotiated, the matter was agreed, and everything was roughly arranged like this. The two exchanged some details again, and soon, just like when they came, the figure of the Lord of Darkness disappeared silently on the sacred mountain.
Standing alone on the cliff, Zeus did not rush to leave for a while. He just stood quietly for a while, and then sighed.
"...Athena..."
Zeus sighed as he silently recited the name of his most outstanding daughter, who was also the one with whom he had the most distant relationship.
In recent years, she has spent most of her time in the starry sky, and has even seldom come to the sacred mountain.
"So what are you thinking about?"
No matter what she is thinking about, Zeus has to do something.
How to provoke disputes, how to intensify conflicts, how to gradually turn a war between mortals into a war between gods, and finally achieve his own goals, all of this gradually took shape in the mind of the God King in the conversation just now. However, this requires a trigger, not just the God King leading the Olympian gods to attack the Silver Moon City.
"...In the final analysis, you have gone too far."
After a long silence, with a flash of lightning, Zeus returned to the banquet in the Golden Palace.
The Queen of Heaven was still sitting on the golden throne, with Ares by her side. The gods each had their own things, and no one noticed the return of the God King.
Looking at his own God Queen, Zeus nodded secretly.
Hera thought he didn't know what she had done. Massacres, blood sacrifices, nothing that her church couldn't do. But for some reason, the God King had always pretended not to notice this.
As for now... of course he would continue to pretend that it didn't happen, and would even tempt her to increase her efforts.
······
The sun suddenly became bright and dim, and Heliopolis was already in chaos at this moment.
However, far away in Midian, these ups and downs could not affect here.
In a trance, Moses stood at the foot of the hill, feeling that everything just now was a dream.
"Thumb--"
The cane lightly touched the ground, and the solid touch brought Moses back to his senses.
When he left the abode of God and returned to this hill before, the thorns that were originally inflamed by fire turned into a cane.
This is what God gave him to protect himself, but it has no divine power now. Only when he returns to his tribe and starts his mission will it gradually become extraordinary.
The more serious the disaster they suffer, the stronger the power of this staff will be. One day, it will be able to separate the sky and the earth, tear the ocean and the stars, and have incredible power, which is also the promise God made to him.
"Huh - I should leave here."
"I want to go back to Egypt."
Touching his violently beating chest, Moses calmed down.
He has been away for forty years, and even married and had children here. The appearance of Egypt has long been blurred, and he can no longer remember many things at that time.
I hope everything is fine... I think so, but reason tells Moses that this possibility is not great.
Fortunately, God is with him.
