I really can't control myself

Although Apollo was slightly attracted by Leto's appearance, he did not completely relax his vigilance.

He had long known that among the group of gods sitting next to him, there would be some unknowing ones. Although he is very confident in his own strength and deterrence, he does not relax at all.

At this time, he quickly turned his head to look at the person coming. Sure enough, the person rushing towards him was not what he expected, because this person was Ares, the God of War.

Among the gods that Apollo thought might cause trouble, the one he paid special attention to was Ares. In Apollo's eyes, this former younger brother can simply be described in one word as being addicted to food and having no ability at all, but he just likes to cause trouble.

Facing the rushing Ares, Apollo reacted immediately, raised his right hand, and several red rays of light appeared directly in his hand. He swung out a blow and struck Ares like red lightning.

Yes, the one who made the first move was actually Apollo who was attacked by surprise, which shows his reaction speed and alertness. Although this was a casual blow, the God-level microcosm contained in it was not something that any god could block. At least most of the gods here couldn't even catch this casual blow.

But Ares did not panic. At this time, a scepter appeared in his right hand, and he waved it towards Apollo. Purple lightning appeared from the scepter and shot directly at Apollo in front.

The lightning on both sides met in the air, but in just a moment, the purple lightning directly swallowed the red lightning released by Apollo and reflected it back towards Apollo.

"What?" Apollo was startled here, and then he suddenly thought that Ares had stolen Zeus's authority before, and what he released was Zeus' thunder of judgment. No wonder his attack was defeated in one blow.

On his side, Linton was not capable of taking on this terrifying thunder of judgment. It was obvious that he was careless, as he had already known about Ares's situation before.

Of course, he did not have any doubts or blame for Linton, because he knew that Linton was not Zeus, so it was obviously impossible for Linton to take back the power of Zeus from Ares. This could only Zeus himself comes. So this matter has nothing to do with Linton, it's just his own carelessness.

There was a loud "bang", and before Apollo had time to react, the Thunder of Judgment had already hit him. This powerful force made it almost impossible for Apollo to resist. The man was directly blown away and slammed into the stone pillar next to him. The man also quickly vomited a mouthful of blood. The power of Zeus was indeed too strong. Only now did he realize that he had underestimated Zeus. Only after experiencing it personally did he feel a little frightened.

"That's...the Thunder of Judgment?" At the same time, other gods also discovered that Ares was using the power of Zeus. They were not sure before, because not everyone had seen Zeus take action. But after seeing Apollo's condition, they determined that it was the Thunder of Judgment.

Of course, they didn't find it strange, they just realized it now.

Yes, they felt strange from the time Linton pulled Apollo into the election just now. Obviously, they didn't think Linton wanted to pull Apollo out.

In the eyes of most gods, Linton insisted on dragging Apollo into the election, which was obviously dissatisfaction with him. Because it's very simple. In that situation, no one can choose Apollo. Under such circumstances, Linton insists on dragging Apollo into such a campaign, which is more like warning them not to be short-sighted. Who dares to vote for Apollo?

It is obvious that Apollo is not Linton's preferred successor.

Yes, in fact, many gods have figured it out at this time. Although Linton said before that it was a fair competition and the one who got the head would be the successor, Linton really had no intention of interfering in the selection of the successor. There's none?

This is obviously impossible. Lin Dunzheng's behavior seems more like he is building a platform for someone. In this seemingly fair "competition", Linton's goal should be to let his preferred successor shine.

That was obviously impossible for Apollo. This guy was brought in by Linton to attract firepower. Otherwise, why would there be any public selection of successors? When Zeus is away, you will be Apollo's king of the gods. If you want to pass on the throne, you can just give an order and that's it. Linton himself said that by building reputation, who is he building reputation for? Does he need Apollo?

Before, they were still wondering who Linton's favorite person was, but with that blow just now, they all understood instantly. Yes, Linton’s preferred candidate is Ares, the God of War.

Otherwise, why would Ares hold the authority of Zeus now? Isn't this just a "small stove" you opened for him? Indeed, now that I think about it, if Ares succeeds as the King of the Gods, the subconscious reaction of most gods will be dissatisfaction, and he is the oldest. That's why you need to gain reputation, everything is connected.

So after this blow, most of the gods have actually seen the form clearly. Ares was Linton's recommendation, and Apollo was his stepping stone.

The only question left now is, are they... going to interfere? Or do they dare to go against Linton's wishes?

The current rules on the surface are fairly fair, at least Linton did not directly announce that Ares was elected. But they all understood the situation behind the scenes, but if they had to interfere, they could still continue pretending not to know. After all, Linton himself said that he would leave in eight days to work on the cosmic crisis, and whether he would come back or not was a question.

Normally, they would definitely not disobey Zeus's orders, whether openly or secretly. But this time he is the king of the gods, and the attraction is too strong. I really... don't want to let go.

And just as the gods and the air were fighting for their wits and courage, they all felt that they had gradually understood everything and it was time to make a choice. Leto, the only one present who had no idea what was going on, looked at Apollo flying out with a horrified look on his face.

"Apollo!" Leto looked at his son who was vomiting blood, he was really anxious. Of course, she didn't think there was anything strange. This Ares was originally Hera's biological son, so it was no problem for him to rush out and beat Apollo away.

But just when she was about to stop Ares and plead for her son, something happened that she couldn't understand at all.

Because right in front of her, Ares grabbed his mother's neck with one hand and lifted Hera up.
