Greek Mythology: The Spiritual Dominator

In the palace of the original sea god in the Sea of ​​Pontonoris.

The debate in the human world has ended, and the illusory image has also shattered. When Andrea was speaking in her heart, the gods in the hall were also waiting for her arrival.

At the end of the picture, the god of the west wind invited the winner of the mortal event.

The ownership of the golden apple is about to be determined, but the atmosphere in the hall is still heavy. The eyes of the gods are intertwined, making the air slightly distorted.

"Zeus, it seems that the "referee" you found has a lot of opinions about Olympus."

"Even if it is just a temporary position in the debate, what she said is not what a person who has faith in the gods can say."

Her eyes subconsciously swept over the goddess of light, Phoebe, and Hera clenched the armrest.

Why did the old thing of the old days still meddle in their affairs? Chaos now belongs to the era of the Olympian pantheon.

"It's okay, Hera, as the king of the gods, I can always tolerate those dissidents, as long as they are not as crazy as that rebellious son. As my queen, you should also show your heart."

Waving his hand slightly, compared to Hera, Zeus didn't seem to care about Andrea's previous remarks at all.

Lies are harmless, the truth is the sharpest knife, but all this is based on equal status and power.

No one will be angry because of the provocation of the ants. Most of the time, they will just find it interesting, unless they are in a bad mood, they will just crush the ants to death.

Andrea is obviously the ant in Zeus' eyes. Even if he only uses the eyes of believers, as the king of the gods in the world, he still sees some of the other party's details. For example, she is probably a clergyman, and the hidden true face, as well as Iapetus he discovered before.

As Ryan said before, the disguise made with the power of the atrium snake may indeed have an extremely powerful camouflage effect. It can deceive most gods and make them deceived by the false appearance, but this does not include Zeus who has preliminarily completed the royal ceremony.

He can see the problem, but it is just as Ryan thought. Although Zeus realized something, he did not intend to say it at all.

Among the many professionals in the human world, the clergy are the least regarded by the gods, because they can never threaten the gods, and their actions are often instructed by the gods. A clergyman criticized Olympus for destroying the Bronze Age, which obviously did not represent her own intention.

It is probably not Athena, and her good daughter cannot do such a direct thing. It seems that without making a sound, the Titan gods of the old era have joined her men.

And this layer of disguise... Zeus did not see it clearly before. Now he observed it with his own eyes and found many things that were not right.

Athens was suppressed by many kingdoms, but a mortal stabilized the situation. When the gods put down their eyes on the mortal world, their daughter actually had such means. If there was no royal ceremony, Zeus doubted whether he could see through this cover even as the king of gods.

She was indeed a daughter who was ‘more powerful than her mother’, but fortunately she didn’t give birth to a son who was ‘more powerful than his father’. This method of forming cliques and increasing strength under his nose was really frightening.

He secretly rejoiced in his previous decisiveness. After so many years, the image of Metis seemed to have become blurred in Zeus’ memory.

That was the right choice, and now, he was about to make another right choice.

“Here we come.”

Suddenly, a god in the hall spoke in a low voice.

He raised his head slightly, and as the door opened and closed, Zeus also noticed the breath of the visitor.

Under the gaze of the gods, the wind god walked into the hall first, and behind him, the tall girl with blonde hair followed closely.

Her appearance at this moment was not inferior to the gods in the temple, but in Zeus’ eyes, when the cover was dissipated, she was just a mortal who had not yet reached adulthood.

"Let a woman choose the most beautiful goddess... but this is fair."

At one seat, the god of skylight, Aether, nodded slightly. Beside him, his sister and wife, the goddess of daylight, Hemera, was eager to try.

She did not participate in the competition for the golden apple just now, but that was simply because reason overwhelmed desire.

No goddess does not want to get this honor, and she is no exception. And if it is not through competition, but this mortal finally chooses her, I am afraid that others can't say anything.

"Zephyros, my friend, thank you for bringing back this wise man from the world for us, you never let me down."

Laughing, Zeus could clearly see that at this moment in the hall, whether or not they had tried to snatch the golden apple before, the goddesses couldn't help but cheer up.

The ownership of the most beautiful goddess can bring power to those who desire power and honor to those who desire honor. No one does not want it. Facing such a force, even he who caused all this could not stop it.

But Zeus did not want to stop him. Sitting on the golden throne, the king of gods took the scepter returned by Zephyrus.

"Thank you for your hard work, my most loyal friend - and the winner of the human conference."

Zeus stood up from the golden throne and behaved very politely.

"I listened to your previous debate, it was a wonderful confrontation. It's a pity that the goddess of justice is not here, otherwise she would be delighted by this debate for justice."

"Okay, I won't say much more. Victor from the human world, I think Zeferos has told you what to do on the way before, right? Because of the gift of Eris, the contradiction between the gods spread. But as the King of the Gods, I will not allow this to happen."

"I can't ask the most just goddess among the gods to make a decision, so let you, the most just and wise person in the world, make the decision. I promise you that no matter what choice you make, you Even God can’t make things difficult for you, and your name will be passed down in the world forever.”

······

In the human world, the crowd has not dispersed at the venue.

At the end of the event, the gods descended, took away the champion of the event, and invited her to attend the banquet of the gods.

No matter which side they had previously supported in the debate, and whether they believed in the gods or not, people were extremely curious about the outcome.

Unlike the shepherd who was chosen to decide the ownership of the golden apple in the original myth, although the 'most handsome mortal' was also a prince, he was not well-known at the time.

But this time, Andrea's departure caused a huge impact, and people stayed at the venue one after another, wanting to know the final outcome of the incident.

"...The appearance that captivates all living beings. Are you moved... No? That's right, you are still a child and can't understand adults' pursuit of appearance. Aphrodite is playing the piano to a cow."

"Do you want the power to rule the kingdom? You don't want it either... Actually it makes sense. After all, you always get what you want. What's the use of asking for power."

"Well, and Amphitrite, will she promise you to control the ocean currents and set off tsunamis to destroy your enemies... If she knew that you were robbed at sea not long ago, she probably wouldn't be able to make this condition. "

Remaining in the audience, Ryan silently commented in his heart on the various temptations Andrea faced.

It is ridiculous to say that it is obviously for the sake of fairness that mortals are allowed to make choices, but the gods are still allowed to impose various temptations on those who finally make the choice.

But this is also the daily operation of the gods of Chaos. They have always been very experienced in creating rules and breaking them.

"...So what exactly am I going to do? Did you ask me to come here just for the beauty pageant? If so, why not choose Her Highness Athena - the goddess is the most beautiful, and I will not accept any objection!"

The voice came, and there was no doubt that Andrea was accepting the temptation of the gods at this moment.

When Zeus finished speaking, Andrea declined for a while, but finally agreed. After all, people are here, and she always has to make a choice before leaving. And if she had to choose, it would definitely be Athena, even if she has not yet made her own conditions.

"Don't worry, Athena is the last person you can choose. Athens is already suffering from internal and external troubles. You don't want to find something to do for your country."

"At this time, provoking another conflict is the best solution... But I only came up with the idea after hearing about the debate in Athens. I don't know if it will work."

While talking, Ryan remembered a later joke about the dispute over golden apples.

‘If you were to divide the golden apples instead of the shepherd Paris, to whom would you give them? ’

'Of course, the golden apple was divided into three and the peel was given to Aphrodite. It was a joke that only the skin could be seen by thousands of people. Then the flesh was given to Hera to show that the cuckold king had no face. , I had no choice but to give you the lining; and finally I gave the core to Athena. Since your brother, who is a male god, was stillborn, I can make up for it with you. ’

‘In this way, the three goddesses share the same hatred, wouldn’t the golden apple problem be solved? ’

Well... In short, it is unknown where this joke originally originated, but it did become widely circulated later, and some people even used it to prepare to write a remake of ancient mythological novels. But Ryan definitely can't do this. After all, he is here to calm down the fire.

There should be no problem... Ryan thought for a moment. This arrangement of his was really improvised, and he didn't know if there would be any problems. But there is nothing we can do about it. Who knew that we could sleep for thousands of years?

"Come, have you seen this god I taught you?"

As a special message was passed on, a enchanting and charming image appeared in Andrea's heart.

She had never seen this god before, and there was no statue of her spread in the world, but with such a recognizable appearance, she recognized it at a glance.

"Just choose her, she will take all the blame, remember?"

"……All right."

After hesitating for a moment, Andrea agreed.

I just need to make a choice. It would be very troublesome for you to strategize from behind, right? Damn it, why don't you make the choice?

So in the temple of the ancient Poseidon, Andrea suddenly took a step forward and picked up the golden apple placed in front of her.

At the same time, the gods who had made promises to her also became quiet.

"...It seems that the words of the gods have not been able to shake your mind after all. Judge from the human world, have you made a decision?"

Zeus asked with a smile on the golden throne.

"Yes, no matter how influenced by the outside world, the truth will not change. And among the gods present, I have already made a choice."

With a slight salute, under the nervous and expectant eyes of the gods, and under the confident gaze of Zeus, Andrea turned slightly.

Then the next moment, those millions of gazes seemed to turn into sharp spikes.

"You are the most beautiful goddess in my heart, Your Highness."

Wow——

Who is she?

Who is she!

In one word, the breath of the gods was shaken, and although Zeus's face remained unchanged, he was suddenly shocked.

He looked at the goddess who took the golden apple. She was obviously a beautiful god, but why did he have no impression of her?

Eye to eye, the king of gods stared into her eyes, he wanted to see something from them, but for some reason, he seemed to see a pair of familiar and strange eyes.

Who are you? !

······

On the sea, the reversal in the marriage changed again and again, and at the same time, in Tartarus, the ninth level of the nine hells.

Standing alone in the vast sky, Asmodeus smiled slightly.

Thousands of years in the outside world are the long years in the abyss, which is enough to change many things.

For example, he who came to hell with nothing finally stood firm and could look back at the world he once ruled.

"It's a good plan indeed. Let her bear all the consequences. As long as she returns to Hell, the God's Court will be out of reach. It's just a pity that you probably forgot one thing."

"Although we are allies in the face of the abyss, this does not mean that I am your puppet."

"Zeus, this is the first time, but not the last time... What has happened will happen again, and what has been done will be done again. From now on, let the world be filled with blood and fire."
