Saint Seiya: My Years as Poseidon

Time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

With the help of Demeter and Persephone, the bronze humans on earth flourished.

Although in the beginning, it was Demeter who was responsible for protecting and blessing the earth.

But later, as her belly grew bigger and she became less and less mobile, this task gradually fell on Persephone.

By the way, the pregnancy cycle of gods is completely different from that of humans. There is not even an exact time.

What kind of god you are pregnant with and its level will affect the time of delivery.

Therefore, even after two or three years, Demeter still had not given birth to a child.

But from the divinity revealed in it, the gods basically determined the child's gender and rank, that she was a goddess and a second-rate god.

Hades couldn't help feeling a little regretful about this.

After all, Zeus and Poseidon both have children, but he doesn't, so it's inevitable that he would feel a little disappointed.

However, he was very happy as he became the "Father God" for the first time from nothing.

In his opinion, if he failed to give birth to the Lord God this time, the worst that could happen would be that he would just try harder next time.

Poseidon and Demeter were also very happy. When they sensed the child's figure, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

The laws revealed by the child in Demeter's belly did not inherit the divinity of either of them. Of course, it had nothing to do with Hades. It could be considered an independent law and god.

Just like Zeus and Hera, both of them had no laws of forging and fire, but they gave birth to Hephaestus, the god of craftsmen!

While Poseidon breathed a sigh of relief, he also roughly understood why this was the case.

By the way, in the original Greek mythology, Poseidon and Demeter also had children.

But Demeter looked down on Poseidon, so she turned into a mare to avoid him.

But Poseidon didn't last too long, he didn't even let the mare go, he turned himself into a stallion and completed the stud's behavior!

This also led to Demeter giving birth to a divine horse that could speak human language for Poseidon - Arion!

After all, Poseidon is the god of horses. It is normal for him and Demeter to turn into horses at the same time and give birth to a horse after mating.

However, according to legend, Poseidon and Demeter also gave birth to a goddess, but the name of that goddess has always been a secret (Despona), and will only be revealed during ceremonies or sacrifices.

Of course, this is the original legend of Greek mythology.

In this day and age, Poseidon and Demeter have merged into one with the bodies of gods, so they definitely won't give birth to a horse.

In this case, the daughter in this belly is most likely the unknown goddess...

Komene.

At Zeus' request, Prometheus and the bronze men had already prepared tributes and started the sacrificial ceremony.

For the Bronze Men of the day, food produced by agriculture is the key to their survival.

Therefore, the oxen that plowed the fields became the most valuable property of the Bronze Man.

Forget about this cow, after all, it can give birth to calves, which is more useful.

Those bulls became the most important tribute of this sacrifice.

Yes, they slaughtered a thousand bulls as an offering to the gods.

This also meets the requirement put forward by Zeus: to offer bronze, the noblest property of mankind.

"Strange, haven't the gods arrived yet?"

Demeter suddenly appeared from the void, looking at Prometheus and the humans who were preparing for sacrifice, and couldn't help but frown slightly.

"You are here, Lady Demeter. We have prepared the tribute for you to choose first!"

Prometheus bowed politely to Demeter and asked humans to make way to show the goddess the tributes they had prepared.

"I see, this is the trick you gave Zeus! In order to save the face of the King of Gods and the gods, you guys are really smart! I was wondering why he notified me to come here in advance? It turns out that he wanted to avoid the time when the gods would gather!"

Although Demeter was not a smart goddess, she was not stupid either. She immediately guessed the methods of Prometheus and Zeus.

Back then, she promised Zeus to help humans on earth develop agriculture, but she also had to have the right to choose tribute first.

Zeus agreed, but he couldn't lose face in front of the gods, nor could he ignore the faces of other gods, so he created a time difference and let Demeter come first to choose the tribute.

At that time, even if the gods were dissatisfied and asked about this, Zeus and Prometheus could declare that this was a tribute prepared by the bronze humans as a gift to Demeter to thank her for her three years of hard work!

By then, even the gods would probably be speechless.

"Lady Demeter, I hope you can understand our difficulties!"

"Alright, I don't blame you! I'm not the petty-minded god. Just pick a tribute for me!"

Demeter said that in the past three years, her life had been extremely fulfilling, even happy and satisfying, and she no longer cared about the tribute.

After all, using this matter to embarrass Zeus was a bit of a temper tantrum.

She doesn't even have time to laugh now, how can she be angry?

“Thank you for your tolerance!”

Prometheus bowed slightly, then asked the bronze man to take a tribute with rich fat and fatty steaks and bring it to Demeter.

Then, Prometheus' brother god, Epimetheus, suddenly stood up and opened a barrier, completely covering Comne where the sacrificial ceremony was held.

"Prometheus, what are you doing?"

Demeter, who had originally planned to take the tribute and leave, couldn't help but frown slightly when she saw Epimetheus do this, and looked at Prometheus in surprise.

"For the benefit of mankind!"

Prometheus simply uttered five words, and under Demeter's astonished gaze, a group of bronze humans immediately took action and divided the thousand slaughtered bulls into two piles.

A pile of rich fat and fatty steaks, like a tribute to Demeter, makes people salivate.

The other pile was full of cow hides, cow bones, and various bull viscera, which was very unappealing.

As Epimetheus opened the barrier, the two piles of tributes immediately changed, each becoming the same color as the other, making it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.

At this moment, even Demeter knew what they were going to do and couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Because even she, the Lord God, would not dare to do such a ridiculous thing.

"Prometheus, are you crazy?"

"In order to make the humans on earth live a life as happy as the humans in Atlantis, I... can only do this!"

After Prometheus said this, Demeter was speechless.
