Mythology: Spiritual Ruler

"......So that's roughly what happened, Your Majesty."

Above the sea, under the power of the God King, the battle between the gods seemed to have temporarily ceased.

But this is only temporary. Almost everyone can see that after a bloody confrontation, both sides involved in the divine war have accumulated deeper conflicts.

No one knows in what form this contradiction will break out, and when it will break out... But this has nothing to do with the Fengshen.

Faced with Zeus's inquiry, Zeferos just avoided the important points and recounted the reasons for the conflict between several people. For example, at the beginning, it was the Queen who launched the first attack.

His statement was very objective, and after hearing this objective evaluation, Zeus was also very satisfied.

"So Hera, are you still dissatisfied with the ownership of the golden apple? But this is the result we have agreed upon in advance."

"The winner among mortals will decide the owner of the golden apple. This is the promise I made before the gods, so I will naturally not break it. As my queen, you should also understand me."

He nodded slightly to Cheferos, as if he just knew the whole story or appreciated the other person's attitude. Zeus then looked serious and scolded Hera.

"Zeus, what do you mean?"

Her eyes widened and looking at the injuries on her body, Hera felt a little unbelievable.

No matter what happens, I am your wife and the injured party, right? Shouldn't you be on my side at this time?

Fiercely flicking her sleeves, Hera pointed in the direction of Ceto.

"Zeus, it would be fine if it was someone else, but who is she? You actually questioned me for her? What was the result of your pursuit just now? Who is the person standing behind her - secretly colluding with outsiders? Shouldn't she be punished? Will you take it immediately?"

"Hera, I have never joined Olympus, and it is not your turn to judge me. It is not your turn to question what kind of people I have contact with. Why, the God King invited the gods from all over the world to come It’s really a big joke to attend my niece’s wedding banquet and exclude me as the host!”

Smiling disdainfully, Ketuo was not afraid at all at this moment.

The goddess of life can be related to the Lord of Darkness, so there is nothing wrong with her being related to the King of Nine Hells. Yes, Zeus could just take her down regardless of all this, but if so, wouldn't the whole drama of the God King be in vain?

So just as she expected, Zeus only hesitated for a moment, and then suppressed the anger against hell in his heart.

He just took a deep look at Ketuo, and then said lightly:

"Hera, there is no law in the Divine Court that prohibits gods from getting to know outsiders. As long as she does not violate the order of the Divine Court, no one has the right to judge her."

"And she is right. Although the original Poseidon family assisted Poseidon in the past, it does not mean that they belong to Olympus."

"Zeus! Don't you know, what a fair decision, she just-"

"enough!"

Her voice paused, Hera never expected that the culprit of the war between gods would inexplicably become her.

Grievances and dissatisfaction erupted in her heart. This was the first time that Zeus refused to give her face.

However, in response to the Queen's anger, Zeus just said calmly:

"Hera, I know you are dissatisfied, but in Olympus, I am the King of Gods."

boom--

As if releasing the depression caused by his previous embarrassment, at this moment, with Zeus as the center, the realm of supreme kingship descended on the sea.

On the earth, in Zeus' true home court, at this moment, even the gods outside of the Olympus pantheon deeply felt the power of the vast sea. In their eyes, Zeus was simply the only one in the world.

"Everyone, this is it. In the name of the God King, the wedding will go ahead as usual, and the golden apple matter is over. There are still too many things that happened today, Nereus, I am extremely sorry for all the surprises. ”

"Finally, Hera, and my most intelligent daughter, no matter who is right or wrong, you are fighting each other, and as the person closest to me, I really can't bear to see you fighting each other. Come back with me Come to Olympus, where I will personally mediate your grievances."

He announced calmly that Zeus was taking back his power.

As his queen, Hera enjoyed the rights and should share his worries. He could secretly support all her acts of revenge in the future, but today, he just wanted this conflict to continue.

So he didn't give any chance to defend himself. As a flash of lightning flashed, the figure of the God King disappeared again.

But compared to him at the previous wedding banquet, Zeus at this moment couldn't help but leave another impression on the gods outside the divine court.

Decisive decision-making, strict commitment to commitment, and strong strength. No one paid attention to the previous incident of Zeus being led away by the mysterious aura. At least until the news of the underworld came, they all felt that by leaving this trip, the God King must have gotten the results he wanted.

…

Zeus left, but things here are not over yet.

The eyes of everyone present then focused on Hera and Athena, even Poseidon, who had always been lawless.

Zeus seemed not to mention him just now, but in fact he secretly warned his brother with his momentum. Although Poseidon sneered at this, considering that he was teaching his wife a lesson, he just pretended not to see it.

It's better to start a fight... Poseidon sneered secretly, Poseidon hoped that Hera would not be patient, it was best to go back and fight with Zeus.

"Hera, you..."

"I'm fine."

Shaking her head slightly in response to Hestia's concern, Hera felt her body feel a little cold as she stood in the sky.

…Zeus

...Athena

...Artemis

...Ketuo!

Without saying anything, feeling the gaze of the gods, Hera, who always cared about her face, only felt the burning pain on her face at this moment.

They all seemed to be waiting for her decision to see whether they would go against Zeus's ruling as the Queen of Gods and attack Athena again.

Some were as concerned as the goddess of the hearth, some were as provocative as Keto, and some were obviously allies before, but now they were secretly watching the joke... Her towering chest rose and fell rapidly, Hera clenched her silver teeth, and she finally made a move The deputy didn't seem to care.

Because she sadly discovered that even if she ignored the rules, her strength was not enough to support her in achieving her goal.

"Why are you still hanging around here? Since Zeus wants to find me, I won't stay any longer. Zeferos... I'll let you and Nereus make arrangements together."

"As you command, Your Majesty."

He accepted the order in a low voice. Unlike other gods, the God of West Wind did not react any differently because Hera had just been reprimanded by Zeus.

There was no change in his attitude from before.

"……very good."

The palm of his hand slid over the bleeding arm, and some blood drops were stroked away. Following the breeze, they fell on the bodies of the God of Beauty and the Goddess of Agriculture.

Without looking at Athena and Ceto, nor at the Poseidon Palace at her feet, Hera turned around

Just now, she was interrupted by Zeus before she could finish her words. In fact, she felt that Ceto was not worthy of receiving the golden apple not only because of his identity, but also because she felt that Athena was mocking her.

Perhaps it was because of the fleeting momentum collision between Zeus and the Lord of Nine Hells not long ago. Although the two later chased each other to the underworld, the accident finally broke something and made Hera discover that something was wrong.

The strong disguise was torn apart by the power of the same person, and Hera suddenly discovered that the mortal who made the decision... didn't he have her power?

Yes, it was her, the princess of Athens. The person she hinted at kidnapping was also the person who secretly made her suffer a loss... At this moment, even though accidents occurred frequently, the results seemed to lead to a destined ending.

She originally planned to reveal the truth in front of the gods and tell the mortal's problem, but with Zeus's tough attitude, Hera swallowed her words.

If Zeus had made up his mind not to side with him, then everything could be classified as an accident. No one stipulates that clergy cannot participate in debates and eventually win the debate.

So the moment she discovered Zeus's attitude, Hera gave up this plan. What's more, the golden apple is no longer important to her now. She just wants everyone to pay the price.

"This is not the end...this is just the beginning."

With a flash of figure, Hera left immediately, and behind her, Athena, who saw her leaving, warned Artemis and followed her away.

Soon, the aborted wedding continued, but the gods' minds were no longer here.

Artemis decided to escort the princess who came to make the decision back to the world, and Aphrodite also left quietly.

This was because of the marks on her face that had not yet disappeared... and also because of an unexpected discovery.

Picking a random direction, Aphrodite covered her cheeks with a silk scarf. I have to say that with a layer of cover up, she looks even more beautiful.

Taking Ares, who voluntarily asked for help, she landed on an uninhabited island and began to wait quietly.

…

Whoosh——

The sun was setting and the long day was finally over.

With the wedding concluded, Apollo returned to his post, and the day finally came to an end.

On this moonlit night, Aphrodite sat on a stone, with the somewhat bored God of War next to her.

"...Afu, who are you waiting for? I'll bring her to you, okay?"

Pacing around, Ares couldn't help but complain.

"If you don't want to wait, you can leave."

With a soft hum, Aphrodite didn't believe that this licking god would leave. As expected, the only response she received was an apology from Ares.

But maybe the prayer of the God of War finally took effect. After a while, a stream of light flashed across the sky.

"Demeter?"

Somewhat unexpectedly, Ares didn't know what the goddess of agriculture had in store for her. However, when she saw the person coming, Aphrodite immediately went to greet him.

"...Aphrodite, what do you want from me?"

The light fell to the ground, revealing the figure of the goddess of agriculture.

Demeter seemed a little nervous. She glanced at Ares, but the beauty just waved her hand gently.

"Ares is not only my husband, but also the son of Hera. What's more, we really need enough fighting power."

"Stop beating around the bush, Demeter, let's get straight to the point - now that you're here, it seems you've also received Hera's message."

After saying that, Aphrodite stretched out her hand.

A drop of bright red blood rolled in her open palm, and in front of her, Demeter hesitated and took out another drop.

"ah?"

Ares had no idea what was going on, and looked confused, but the goddess of beauty obviously had no intention of explaining to him at this time.

She just looked at the goddess of agriculture and spoke softly:

"Very good, it seems that you have made a decision. Yes, the alchemy of Athens is simply questioning your authority as the goddess of agriculture... But you are indeed the god who controls the growth of all things, not the god who controls agricultural technology."

"... I don't intend to be an enemy of Athena, and I don't intend to be an enemy of anyone. Hera said in the message she left me that she has a way to solve this trouble, and I don't need to take action..."

"You are right, and we don't need you to take action with anyone."

Nodding in agreement, the goddess of beauty clenched her fists.

Until this moment, the goddess who had been severely humiliated before showed her inner unrest.

What is the grievance you Hera suffered? I was engraved with a line on my face in public. This hatred is simply irreconcilable!

"You just need to provide all other assistance, Demeter."

"If Hera wants to target Athena, she must first target Athens. If you want to stop the outflow of those alchemical creations, you must also end everything from the source. Then the question is, the gods rarely interfere in human affairs, why can Athens still be so unscrupulous, why can't we do anything to him?"

"... Because Athens still has a king who stands at the top of the world."

Speaking in a low voice, Demeter finally knew what she was here for.

"Yes, that's it. It was he who promoted the alchemical technology, and it was also his incarnation of having no respect for the gods, and even daring to defeat the gods. Except for not expelling the believers of the gods, he was considered respectful to Athena. What is the difference between him and Tantalus?"

"Since no matter what we want to do, he is the mountain that we can't get around... Then let's not get around it, just move him first."

A sickly blush passed across her face. Few people knew that Aphrodite was not only famous among the gods, but also in the world.

The story of Theseus and the Amazon Queen is widely circulated, but the inside story is far richer than what ordinary people know. Because after her chosen ones failed to win her heart, the goddess of beauty finally chose to take action herself.

After all, Aphrodite's belt has always been the only one who is qualified to wear it.

But the result...

"Theseus... As expected, there shouldn't be such a powerful person among humans."

Said with a smile, Aphrodite took a deep breath.

"So use his death to declare the majesty of the gods."
