Saint Seiya: My Years as Poseidon

"Get up, Prometheus! You have made great contributions over the years. After this sacrificial ceremony, your reward will not be less!"

Zeus smiled and said that although he wanted to obtain Prometheus' wisdom, he had to admit that Prometheus was a capable minister and was easy to use.

In addition, this is the era when the twelve gods dominate the entire universe. Even he cannot attack Prometheus without a suitable reason.

"In that case, I would like to thank you very much, sir!"

Prometheus said with his head down, appearing very humble and not daring to overstep the mark in the slightest.

"Well, now lead the way, gods, because we can't wait to see the tribute from mankind!"

"yes!"

Prometheus responded, then stood up and led the way.

Soon, the gods saw the beef divided into two piles.

Seeing this, Zeus couldn't help but say: "Prometheus, you are..."

"Lord Zeus, this is our gift! Of the two piles of beef, the gods can choose one first, and the remaining pile will be the gods' gift to mankind! Moreover, every time humans perform sacrifices in the future, they will offer the same specifications!"

When Prometheus said this, the expressions of all the gods changed slightly.

If you say that these are two piles of beef, the pile full of rich fat and fatty meat is one thing, but can the pile that only has cow skin, bones and offal be called beef?

It’s more like calling it beef offal!

And when he thought that humans on earth would give their most precious parts to the gods in the future, leaving only those unsightly scraps for himself, even the warlike and bloodthirsty Ares could not help but be moved!

What, you want the gods to choose the scraps?

How is that possible? In this mythological age, the gods are the masters and humans are the servants.

It is humans who serve the gods, not gods who serve humans. This is an iron rule!

Let humans enjoy happiness? What a joke!

Still, Zeus felt somewhat embarrassed at the thought of giving those scraps as a kind gift to mankind.

After all, this does not reflect the kindness of the gods at all, but instead makes them appear mean and ungrateful.

Although, they have truly felt the "sincerity" of human beings!

"Prometheus, isn't your way of dividing meat too biased? Humans can actually leave some juicy and delicious parts for themselves!"

Zeus spoke, and the gods watched it all in silence.

Even they felt a little embarrassed to take action.

They are great gods, not greedy capitalists. How could they exploit the humans in the lower world like this!

Therefore, the gods not only did not find Zeus' words abrupt, but instead found them to be very reasonable.

They even hope that humans will take some beef from the fat pile, so that they can enjoy that high-quality tribute with more peace of mind!

Only Poseidon had eyes shining with brilliance, having seen through everything.

Unfortunately, at times like this, he could only choose to be sociable in order to avoid attracting unnecessary attention.

"Lord Zeus, great gods, this is our choice. We only hope that the gods can treat the humans on earth gently and allow them to develop and survive in peace on earth!"

Prometheus said, Zeus looked at the gods, and seeing that they all smiled and nodded, he also raised the corner of his mouth.

"Okay, Prometheus, you really didn't let me down! I have deeply felt the intentions of the humans on earth. I, Zeus, swear here that if humans can be so humble and offer such generous tributes to us gods every year, then the gods will definitely protect humans and let them live happily on earth!"

"So, I, Prometheus, would like to thank Lord Zeus and all the great gods on behalf of mankind! Now, please make your choice!"

"Do we still need to choose? Father God, I think you should make the choice on behalf of the gods!"

"Yes, Father God, there are only two piles of beef, and our choice must be the same as yours!"

…

Apollo, Abel and other main gods spoke one after another, but as for the other second-rate and third-rate gods, they did not even have the qualifications to speak.

But it doesn’t matter. In the current situation, they will definitely follow Zeus’ lead.

"Zeus, you are the leader of our twelve gods and the patriarch of our Olympian gods. This time, you will be the one to make the choice on our behalf!"

“That’s right!”

Hades said, and Poseidon also expressed his attitude, as if he was saying, "You are the boss and you have the right to take the lead."

Zeus also laughed at this. Being supported and recommended by the gods like a star surrounded by the moon, made his vanity and self-esteem greatly satisfied.

"In that case, I won't be polite... Prometheus, I want that pile!"

Zeus pointed to the pile of beef covered with rich fat and fatty steaks, and Prometheus nodded to show that he understood.

But in the next moment, the pile of meat that was originally full of rich fat and fatty steaks instantly changed into scraps full of cow skin, cow bones and cow offal.

The scraps that were supposed to be cowhide, cow bones and cow offal turned into a pile of rich fat and fatty steaks, and things were instantly turned upside down.

At this moment, the smiling faces of the gods froze in an instant, their joyful laughter stopped abruptly, and strong murderous intent burst out instantly, and they all stared at Prometheus who stood on the opposite side of the gods.

Under this terrifying murderous intent, the entire universe was immediately filled with a murderous aura, as if it wanted to destroy everything.

The sky, which was originally full of divine light, was now covered with dark clouds. The air became extremely depressing, as if it was the end of the world.

Zeus clenched his fists, gnashed his teeth, and said angrily: "Epimetheus, the barrier of the foolish god! Prometheus... good, very good!"

Zeus, who originally felt a little embarrassed about killing Prometheus, now feels embarrassed not to kill him.

However, he did not choose to take action immediately. After all, he had just sworn an oath to Prometheus and mankind.

Although it was not an oath to fate and did not have such a strong binding force, neither the reserve of the King of Gods nor the self-esteem of the gods would allow him to directly attack Prometheus.

In response, Prometheus took a deep breath and said, "Everything is the decision of the great gods. I am just following their will!"

"Let's go!"

Zeus had a dark face and ordered the gods to leave.

The gods did not refute this, and their eyes only showed murderous intent towards Prometheus.

Originally, the barrier set up by Epimetheus, a second-rate god, should not have been able to affect the gods.

At least, for the powerful main god, the power of a second-rate god like him should not be worth mentioning.

But unfortunately, the authority of stupidity is a powerful authority that is opposed to the authority of wisdom.

As long as it is used properly, even the main god will inevitably be affected.

The barrier of the Foolish God can affect the minds of the gods and confuse right and wrong, thus achieving the purpose of fooling the gods.

But no matter what, Epimetheus and Prometheus, who achieved their goals, have been completely blacklisted by the gods!
