Myth: The Spiritual Dominator

For ordinary gods, nothing has changed in the world. But the moment the bronze human being was born, it silently shook the hearts of many gods.

Whether it was the new gods who had eaten golden apples or the old gods like Helios who had been restricted to medium divine power for thousands of years by their priesthood, they all noticed the changes.

So on Mount Olympus, in less than a hundred years, sitting on a bronze chariot, Hades returned here again.

Of course, it may not be described as "short", after all, it hasn't been that long since his birth.

Looking at the shrine that had been renovated, Pluto couldn't help but secretly compare it with his own. Then he easily came to the conclusion that the ground was better than the ground.

It's not a problem with the building itself, but that Hades can use as many gems and as precious materials as possible to build a temple for himself, but it can't change the desolate and lonely situation there.

He himself didn't care, but since gods other than him cared, he had to care too.

"Hades, are you here too?"

"Our good brother is really extraordinary. He can always create something extraordinary. Fortunately, he didn't hide this time, otherwise no one knows what kind of realm he will sneak into. .”

Even though they were still far away, Poseidon's loud voice still came through.

Hades followed the sound and saw that in the south, the Poseidon was flying towards Mount Olympus alone.

This is a good thing. After all, before this, Pluto was worried that Poseidon would bring his Poseidon relatives. Fortunately, at least when it comes to eating alone, my brother has never disappointed.

"Don't waste time Poseidon, our sisters are here too, don't keep them waiting."

The words were concise and to the point, Hades had no idea of ​​saying more. He walked into the main hall where the meeting was held first. Seeing this, Poseidon had no choice but to follow closely behind.

Behind them, Helios, who had just left to put away the solar chariot, also came in a hurry. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the existence of the sun was too important to mortals and they were destined to be unable to leave him alone, the God King would not want the Titan to participate in this carve-up feast.

······

There are many temples in Mount Olympus, most of which are the residences of the true gods. However, near the top of the mountain, the God King ordered the construction of a palace for the gods to resolve conflicts and discuss matters.

He named the temple Rict, which means a just and honest place.

Today, the gods who were notified by Zeus gathered together. They were at least medium-power beings, and even more powerful gods. They all knew the purpose of this trip, for the newly born human being.

The only exception is Prometheus. As the creator of the Bronze Humans, he was privileged to join the meeting and even sat in a very front seat.

Before this, no one understood faith, let alone where this power came from, and why weak humans suddenly had this ability.

Prometheus doesn't know either, but he has at least had in-depth contact with golden humans, which is why he is sitting here.

"Everyone."

Sitting on the main seat, Zeus became increasingly majestic. Seeing that the last participant also entered the hall, he slowly spoke.

"Human belief can enhance divine power. This has been proven in the Golden Age. Unfortunately, due to various reasons, the gods at that time did not pay attention to this matter."

The faith of golden humans is thin, Zeus heard Prometheus mention this. But the God King felt that besides their thinking being modified, there might be other reasons.

For example, his father God did something secretly and absorbed enough power from it. Unfortunately, the God King knew nothing about this.

"It is worth celebrating that the son of the Titan god Iapetus, the wise man of enlightenment, created the bronze human beings. Under his advice, the souls of new human beings were naturally formed, which made us pay attention to this secret."

Looking around, Zeus continued:

"You are all gods of Olympus, and our interests are naturally one. I am willing to share this discovery with you, but we should also unite when facing other invaders."

The God King knew very well that among the powerful divine powers in the entire world, probably only his sister Hestia was truly willing to fight for him unconditionally. In addition, without the binding of interests, at most they would not go against the Divine Court.

In this case, Zeus decisively chose to share this benefit. As long as he was the king of God, he could get the most.

And he had to be fast and steady. He had to gain enough faith before his adoptive father and several primitive gods noticed. The God King is now extremely grateful that Mother Earth has fallen asleep. Otherwise, although he does not fully understand the power of faith, as the incarnation of the earth, Gaia will definitely receive a share.

"What about the other Titan gods?"

On the left side of the hall, Demeter, who had completely gotten rid of the influence of the power of time, looked at Zeus and asked:

"For example, your adoptive parents, are they excluded?"

He didn't speak, because Zeus knew that someone would speak for him.

As expected, Poseidon responded directly.

"Demeter, as our sister, I reluctantly understand that you have been at sea for a long time, and you may have some respect and affection for those two people, but I hope you still remember that your brother also has a place on the sea. "

Hearing this, Demeter fell silent. She does have a lot of respect for the goddess of raw water, but not to the point where she would fall out with her brother over it.

After waiting for a while, seeing that no one present had any objections, Zeus said slowly:

"It seems that we have reached a consensus, so the matter is settled like this. We will share our faith and not be robbed by other gods."

"So now, do you have any ideas on how to get humans to offer their faith? Bronze humans are not like the golden generation of the past. Although the faith they brought has become stronger, they may not still have piety."

"We need some way to make them keep the gods in mind."

"fear."

Without hesitation, the Sun God was the first to stand up. He was only a hair away from powerful divine power, and his faith gave him hope.

"Let mankind build temples to the gods and offer sacrifices and enshrinements like the golden generation did."

"If they don't obey, there will be droughts, storms, earthquakes, and floods. When they feel scared, they will naturally pray devoutly to the gods for mercy."

"I object."

Prometheus immediately retorted.

He was happy to see humans providing faith to the gods. After all, the more important they were, the less the gods would want them to become extinct, but Helios's statement was unacceptable to him.

"Mere violence cannot gain heartfelt belief, just like the previous god-king used violence to make you surrender. Judging from the results, he failed to gain your sincere allegiance."

"you--"

Helios's anger surged, and Prometheus' words simply cut right into his heart. But just as he was about to say something, he stopped under Zeus' sharp gaze.

"continue."

Turning his head, Zeus said to Prometheus.

With a slight bow, the Illuminati continued to state his point of view.

"The facts tell us that suffering can only make people surrender, and kindness can make others respect them. Just like children treat their parents, they do not do it out of fear, but out of love."

"So the gods should protect humans and send blessings, so that humans can sincerely believe in God, and our faith can be endless."

Nodding, Zeus was also exposed to the power of faith for the first time. In fact, he thinks both sides are right.

It is indeed difficult for people to respect power from the heart, but thinking about himself, Zeus felt that even if someone was always kind to him, he might not respond in kind.

If nothing else, the baby still growing in his body at this time is proof of this.

"Hestia, my sister, what do you think about this matter?"

Somewhat surprised, I didn't expect Zeus to suddenly ask me, but the goddess of fire and guardian still stood up and expressed her opinion.

"I think anything imposed on others is unreasonable. If it were me, I would tell humans that those who believe in me can be protected and receive favors. The more pious you are, the more rewards I will give; if you don't believe in me I will not punish them, but let them go their own way. But if they dare to blaspheme and verbally abuse, then I will also bring disaster to them."

"Since God has given humans free will, they should abide by it. Otherwise, in the past, the faith brought by golden humans would not have been so weak. This may be the warning the world gives to gods."
