Saint Seiya: My Years as Poseidon

Chapter 220: Failure of Conferred Godhood

"Zeus, some precedents cannot be set! Think about Poseidon. Abel was just making trouble in his Atlantis, and he wanted to fight a life-and-death battle! I didn't take Asclepius' life directly, which was very merciful!"

When Hades said this, all the gods present were speechless.

Apollo's face turned red, and he was filled with indignation.

Zeus also nodded in approval. At least, if it were him, if anyone dared to challenge his authority or invade his divine domain, Zeus would go crazy and retaliate with the god-killing thunder.

"You are right, Hades. Although I remain neutral in this wave, from a personal standpoint, I still support you!"

"Wait a minute Father God, Asclepius's previous actions may have been excessive, but if he becomes a god, doesn't that mean he also has this privilege as a god?"

When Apollo said this, the gods' expressions changed slightly.

For them, gods, resurrecting the dead is a piece of cake.

The so-called laws of the underworld cannot restrain the will of the gods at all.

Gods do have such a privilege.

Even Hades, the god of the underworld, did not dare to use this to restrain and restrict the gods, because this would be tantamount to offending all the gods.

The laws of the underworld and the order of the underworld only apply to creatures that are not gods.

The four divine realms of Heaven, Earth, Hell and Sea do not interfere with each other, which is just a verbal agreement among the three brothers.

Not to mention Hades, just taking Poseidon as an example, the gods often had fun in the ocean behind his back.

As long as they don't do anything wrong in Atlantis in the sea world, Poseidon will generally turn a blind eye to other islands.

"Apollo, stop changing the concept. Gods are gods, humans are humans. Asclepius is just a human being after all! Do you want a human being to exercise the privileges of the gods? If this is allowed, then all humans will be able to cross the line and challenge the authority of us gods in the future!"

Hades said coldly, while Apollo raised the corner of his mouth.

"Of course that's not possible. However, Asclepius is different, isn't he? As a human who is qualified to be deified, can't the gods be a little more tolerant? Father God, before Hercules was deified, he also blasphemed the gods during his twelve trials, right?"

"this……"

When asked this by Apollo, Zeus didn't know how to respond.

Even Hades remained silent about this.

He also suffered during the Twelve Trials of Hercules.

If it weren't for Zeus's face, Hades would have settled the score with Hercules long ago.

"Father God, both sides have their reasons. I think we should just vote directly!"

When Athena said this, Zeus nodded.

At this point, directly voting to decide Asclepius' future is undoubtedly the simplest and most direct way, saving the trouble.

"Now, let's start voting on whether Asclepius should be deified. Those who support his deification, please raise your hands!"

As soon as Zeus said this, Apollo and Artemis raised their hands immediately, and Athena followed without hesitation.

Abel looked at the gods, suddenly raised the corner of his mouth, and slowly raised his hand.

Seeing this, Apollo's gaze also wandered over the other five gods, and then his expression changed drastically.

If nothing else, among these five main gods, Hades and Ares would definitely not raise their hands to support them.

As Hades' wife, Demeter and her husband have always had a harmonious sex life apart from their children. In this case, Demeter would definitely not go against Hades.

Plus, she is the Queen of the Underworld and will protect her own authority, so there is no hope.

According to Hera, a great feud had already been formed between Apollo and Artemis when they were born.

Even with the mediation of Zeus later, it was impossible for the two sides to completely put aside their past grudges, and most of the time they still had no contact with each other.

Besides, Ares is her son. Hera must be crazy to choose to support him!

Therefore, it is obvious that the key to whether Asclepius can become a god actually lies in the hands of Hephaestus.

Although Hephaestus is also Hera's child, don't forget that there are huge conflicts between mother and son.

Although Hephaestus stood on the side of Ares in this holy war, the gods all knew that this was just the result of Hera's inducement with benefits.

The feud between them was never completely reconciled from beginning to end.

"Hephaestus, after Asclepius became a god, he must be the god of medicine! Aren't you lame? Maybe he can heal you!"

"this……"

Apollo's words made Hephaestus feel moved.

"Hephaestus...Aglaia!"

Just as Hephaestus was about to raise his hand in support, Hera's words froze him in place.

"Hera, this is different from what we agreed on! You said it yourself that as long as I support you in the holy war, you will marry Aglaia to me. Now, do you want to go back on your word?"

"I am the Queen of Heaven and have the power to preside over the marriages of the gods in heaven. Besides, I have not changed my mind. After this meeting, the holy war will be completely over. If you support Apollo and his men at this time, you will be abandoning them. At that time, it will not be a matter of my changing my mind, but a matter of you not fulfilling the agreement between us!"

"Hera, you are so mean!"

Hera's words made all the gods look strange.

Although anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was making excuses, it was hard to find any fault with her at this moment.

Hera ignored this, as she was the Queen of Heaven and had the right to do so.

Even Zeus had nothing to say about this.

Even though the twelve gods are strictly equal, Aglaia is not.

The three Graces are just third-rate gods. If Hera can't control Hephaestus, can't she control Aglaia?

"So, Hephaestus, what is your choice?"

Zeus asked, while Hephaestus gnashed his teeth, his eyes red, which made people shudder.

At this moment, even Hera felt a little guilty and didn't dare to look him in the eye.

Ares and Hades raised their lips slightly, with smiles of victory on their faces.

Only Demeter frowned and felt a little uneasy.

When Apollo, Athena and others saw this, they secretly cried out in their hearts, but they could do nothing.

Apollo, in particular, was filled with resentment about the impending outcome.

"I choose to support Ares and Hades!"

As Hephaestus spoke of his decision, Asclepius's hope of becoming a god was completely ended...
