Myth: The Spiritual Dominator

Under the authority of the God-King, when the decree is given, changes will follow.

The 'fire' that Zeus spoke of naturally does not refer to flame alone. In fact, flame is only an insignificant part of it. This is a word rich in symbolic meaning.

Because fire was given to humans by Hestia, and this goddess is one of the gods with the most friendly attitude toward humans; but it happened that humans first deceived gods in her temple, and besides the goddess He is in charge of [Fire] and also has the divine power of [Guardian].

Therefore, the decree of the God King actually severed the relationship between God and man, and also cut off all protection provided by God to man, and in turn cursed them.

From this moment on, the gods will no longer respond to human prayers, and everything the gods have given to humans before has also been taken back.

Even on this basis, human beings not only lost the fire given by God, they will no longer be able to ignite fire on their own; human beings lost the harvest given by God, and the crops they planted will no longer sprout; human beings lost God With good weather and good weather, natural disasters will always be around from now on.

This was the punishment the God King gave for this deception, but he cleverly left some room for it. He used 'fire' to refer to all of this, so as long as humans have fire again, although God's protection of humans will not be restored, God's punishment of humans will not continue.

At this moment, some gods understood it, and some gods did not understand it, but standing on Mount Olympus, Prometheus undoubtedly understood it.

Not only did he understand, he heard more.

"Give up, brother, it's pointless."

"The God King is not kind. Even if you save mankind this time, he will use other reasons to punish mortals. This generation of mortals is no longer what he needs."

Standing outside the temple of the Goddess of Law on Mount Olympus, Epimetheus once again persuaded his brother.

The two of them had not been able to see Themis here before. According to the nymph stationed here, the goddess left in a hurry after returning here.

God's laws should not be applied to humans, and God's rules may not apply to humans. At this time, humans actually have no laws. The goddess destroyed the temple because humans misused her name because she never allowed them to do so. But in fact, other than that, humans didn't really break any rules - because she didn't set any rules for them.

Therefore, the goddess decided to give them a standard. She would delineate the circumstances under which a mortal could claim justice in its own name.

The goddess of law is first the creator of the law, and then the defender of the law. She cannot defend something that she has not decided on. So she left Olympus, planning to seek the help of her old friends and try to establish the original standards for the human 'court'.

As for what counts as guilty and what counts as innocent, that is mankind's own business. She is only responsible for ensuring that the trial she witnesses can be conducted in compliance with the regulations.

If after she sets the standards, there are still people who dare to violate the rules she set in court, then she will punish the violators according to the rules she has set.

Therefore, the two brothers planned to wait here until the goddess came back. As a result, the wait ended immediately before it even started.

The God King knew everything, he punished mankind, and now he is waiting for Prometheus to fall into the trap.

"Maybe, but I don't ask for more. As long as I can take back the divine punishment and let them grow old in peace."

Looking towards the east, Prometheus had a somewhat complicated mood. His most trusted student betrayed him, but he couldn't feel the emotion of blaming him.

After all, he was the one who created Orson and taught him. If he became what he is now, why wasn't it because of him?

Now, the other party has also received the fate he deserves.

"All this originated from me, Epimetheus. Although I deceived the gods for the sake of mankind, now that I think about it, I was just using this to show my 'wisdom'."

"And I'm probably not smart at all, like—"

Just like Metis, the goddess of wisdom.

Prometheus did not say this. As the goddess disappeared for a hundred years, the God King married a new Queen, and the gods vaguely guessed something.

They didn't know the specific fate of this goddess who was world-famous for her intelligence, but there was a high probability that it wouldn't be too wonderful.

"But what can you do, brother."

Even though he knew it was useless, he still spoke.

"The King of Gods has taken away mankind's 'fire'. The only person in this world who can disobey his will is the Supreme One who is truly in charge of [fire]."

"The goddess Hestia will not help you fight against her brother. The goddess of the magic network who controls the fire element is nowhere to be found, and the Lord of the Spirit World will not respond to your call. There is no place where you can get the right to use fire."

His expression was a little sad, and he no longer even looked as stupid as before. Epimetheus hoped that his brother would listen to his advice.

But at this time, Prometheus did not notice the changes in his brother. In other words, even if he noticed it, he would not change his decision.

The God King has discovered everything, and he has punished humans, but he has ignored the initiator of everything. Prometheus knew that as the creator of mankind, it was his turn.

He could actually escape, but he didn't want to.

"There is another place. Except for gods, artifacts are not under the control of the God King. Divine power is absolute, and even Zeus cannot violate this."

Looking towards the top of Mount Olympus, where is the temple of the Sun God. Helios set out there every day, driving the sun chariot to make the sun rise in the east and set in the west, and then return here at night.

As long as fire is drawn from the artifact, the God King's decree will become invalid.

"He won't give it to you. He is only a thin line away from powerful divine power, and faith is his hope. And as a legacy of the Titan God, Helios's position in the Divine Court is unstable -"

"I know."

Interrupting lightly, at this moment, Prometheus really seemed like a wise man among the gods.

"So I'll give him a chance."

"I went to steal the fire, and then he caught me back and interceded for me in front of the God King. Of course this will not be useful, but he will gain the gratitude of mankind and the credit to the God's Court."

As for what would happen to him, the Illuminati did not say much. It was just an eternal imprisonment. He could already foresee where he would be imprisoned.

But at the end, as if he remembered something, he warned his brother.

"Leave here, and don't get involved in things between the God King and humans because of me. You also bear the credit for creating humans. If possible, the God King will not let you go. Remember, don't accept what Zeus does to you. Any 'good intentions'."

".I understand, brother."

After a long silence, Epimetheus nodded in agreement. He watched as his brother casually broke off a fennel branch and then walked up the mountain under the cover of darkness.

And he just watched all this and did nothing.

"Aren't you going to take part in all this? You are really thinking about humanity until the end."

"What about you, me, and even our brother who supports the sky and our reclusive father."
