Myth: The Spiritual Dominator
Chapter 309: Reward and Human Nature
The characterization of the past comes to an end, and no one can be held accountable.
Just like Zeus 'never failed', the gods never fled, they just 'avoided his edge' and cooperated with 'the plan of the God King'.
These contents will be written into the human scriptures as an explanation for this disaster. Thousands of years later, this will naturally be the truth. Of course, no matter how much the gods added to it, one thing remained unchanged.
That is about the real source of this disaster, the existence of the Outer God [Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood].
His name was not mentioned directly, and anything that could point to the other party was not left in the text, but no god tried to deny the existence of such a creature. And all side descriptions of Him are inseparable from the two concepts of terror and power.
The latter is naturally to prove that the gods are not incompetent - after all, no matter how many reasons there are, countless lives have perished in this disaster. In this case, belittling the enemy is belittling oneself.
As for the former... it's naturally because the gods themselves are afraid.
Not because of Typhon, but because of the sun. When no one noticed, Helios, who had been chatting and laughing with them before, suddenly transformed into an evil god corrupted by the outer gods. This shocked the gods greatly.
No one knew how He did it, and whether Helios did it willingly or by force, they didn't want it to happen a second time. And if you want to stop a behavior, fear is a far better way than a ban.
"The fall of the sun took us all by surprise. It was a disaster, and my daughter Athena is still dealing with it, and she hasn't even returned yet."
"But whether she is here or not, there is no doubt about her contribution to this. Her name should be spread among people, just like her elders."
When the disaster is over, it is natural to reward people based on their merits. But as Zeus said, Athena is actually still in the starry sky and has not returned.
Sealing the sun is not an easy task, it is a rather difficult and complex process. The ritual laid out in the Zodiac Star Realm is just the beginning, there are still many things waiting for her to do.
"Apollo."
Another absent god.
Zeus's mood was a bit complicated when he read out his son's name. On the one hand, he was a little happy that Apollo solved the trouble for him. On the other hand, he was a little dissatisfied with Apollo and Atropos's arbitrary actions.
However, the three goddesses of destiny are not his subordinates, and they are not a real father-daughter relationship. The connection between Zeus and Atropos is not even as close as that between the heavenly father and the earthly mother. As for Apollo... Zeus wouldn't be so concerned about this matter as to have a quarrel with his heir who was not a threat to him.
"Like Athena, as the main god of Olympus and the being who raises the new sun for the world, Apollo should gain a city-state that believes in him in the world. At the same time, the believers who originally belonged to Helios must switch to believe in The new sun, or the goddess who conquered the sun, shall have his temples torn down and rebuilt.”
"Anyone who dares to sacrifice the life of Helios is an enemy of Olympus."
No one objected, no one spoke for the corrupted sun god. After all, as Helios himself once realized, he was actually an outsider to the Olympian pantheon.
"The third one is my most loyal arm."
With a smile on his face, the God King looked at his most loyal servant, the God of the West Wind.
"Zeferos, my friend, please forgive me for mentioning you for the third time - but I should maintain the dignity of the status of the main gods. After all, this is the right I personally granted them, and it is proof that they are higher than the gods."
"As it should be, Your Majesty."
Bowing slightly, Zeferos remained as submissive as ever.
"Thank you for your consideration, haha, but this problem will no longer exist soon."
"Zeferos, in the name of the God King, you will become another main god of Olympus, and after that, I will also grant you the qualification to control the weather. This is the reward you deserve."
Since Cleos was imprisoned in the abyss, in order to prevent the laws related to it from rioting in the world, gods with similar authority such as Zeus and Poseidon have been exercising the divine power of the weather on their behalf. Now, in the name of the God King, he has officially transferred this power to the abyss. A duty was given to Zeferos.
This is not an innate priesthood, so it will not increase the amount of divine power obtained by Zeferos. It is more of a replica of his position as 'Head of the Wind God', which is just something established under the authority of the God King. But even so, the God of West Wind was still greatly surprised.
"You always know rewards and punishments, Your Majesty."
After waving his hand, another main god returned. Although he is not a powerful god yet, it will only be a matter of time.
The three gods who really made contributions in this disaster all received rewards. Zeus looked around, and the rest were some comforting rewards.
The gods needed something legible to prove they were doing their part. So he gave Ares a war helmet to reward him for daring to be the first to intervene in the battle between him and Typhon - although the result was not beautiful, it was always a symbol of courage. He also gave his sister Demeter a wreath of flowers.
In Demeter's eyes, Zeus saw resentment as always, but he still smiled and put this beautiful jewelry on her.
The God King never minds showing generosity in such small things. After all, he knows very well what Demeter is capable of.
Later, the God King gave different rewards to the gods in turn, some of which were more honorable than practical. It wasn't until he turned around that he finally seemed to remember something and looked at Aphrodite.
During Typhon's disaster, the goddess of beauty also ran away. This was not a problem, but what worried Zeus was that she only took her daughter Harmonia with her.
"In this disaster, in addition to the achievements of gods, mortals are also indispensable."
"Phoenician prince Cadmus has proven to me the courage of mortals with his actions, and he should receive corresponding rewards."
"Aphrodite, what I give you and your daughter is such a beautiful marriage."
With a smile on his face, but no intention of discussing. Standing in the center of the hall, Zeus announced loudly.
"Cadmus will establish a city-state under the guidance of the gods, and Harmonia will be his wife."
"The bravest man among mankind, he has brought peace to the world with his own efforts. His marriage to Harmonia will be the perfect end to this disaster."
······
Since the reward ended, a long-lasting banquet began on Mount Olympus.
Perhaps it was to vent the fear of Typhon, or perhaps it was for some other reason, but in any case, at this banquet, many demigods were born that were never recorded in later generations.
Just like Phaethon, the illegitimate son of Helios and the goddess of boiling water, if he had not driven the sun chariot recklessly and eventually caused disasters everywhere, his name would not have been qualified to appear in mythology. In fact, there are many demigods like him.
Of course, demigod is a general concept, it can refer to both race and level of power. These so-called demigods born in the carnival of gods actually often refer to the former alone, because their power is not very strong.
Although as the first generation of gods, they can certainly step into the extraordinary realm, but that's all. Most of them don't even have enough divinity to maintain immortality, and can only grow old with the passage of time and eventually turn into dust.
"Zeferos, do you have anything to say to me?"
Walking among the newly repaired mountain paths, Zeus overlooked Olympus.
The banquet had just begun, but the enjoyment of the gods often did not mean the same for the attendants.
The servants who escaped the disaster are working in the mountains, clearing away the broken rubble and building a brand new temple. Looking at this scene, the God King couldn't help but think of a god he met before.
That was what he saw while passing by the sea when he was fighting Typhon, a guy running away in a hurry. He was short and ugly, but to Zeus's surprise, he felt a blood aura similar to Hera's in his body.
At first he was furious. If he hadn't been fighting Typhon, the God King would have almost arrested him for questioning, but then he realized something. It seems that the other party only has the blood of Hera... In this case, maybe we can find a way to use him for our own purposes.
"Your Majesty, that's it."
I don’t know what Zeus is thinking about, but the God of West Wind just stands quietly with his hands down, unable to see the difference after being promoted to the main god.
"Previously, when I was purging the demons from the eastern land according to your will, I followed the three-headed demon dog Cerberus, the son of Typhon, all the way east, and then accidentally ran into the goddess of the magic network."
"Did you suffer in her hands?"
Smiling and shaking his head, Zeus said a little helplessly:
"Then I can't help you, but it's probably just a prank. In fact, as long as she doesn't come to cause trouble for me, just let her do her own thing."
"That's not true. Your Highness Hecate didn't pay attention to my intention. Maybe this is all due to your prestige."
After complimenting him calmly, Zeferos continued:
"Faced with the attacking three-headed dog, the goddess easily subdued the demon. She seemed to want to replace it with a guard who looked after the home...but that had nothing to do with me. I planned to say goodbye and leave, but after The ubiquitous wind in that area tells me that there is another kingdom of humans there.”
"They are not the fourth generation of humans. They disobey your will and still praise Prometheus as a sage. The most important thing is that their belief-"
"They call the Olympian gods, including you and me, false gods. That's right."
Zeus was not surprised when he interrupted Zeferos's story with a calm expression.
"...It seems that I am too busy, Your Majesty."
He responded respectfully but at this moment the God of West Wind regretted it.
He originally thought that it was a place that the God King had not noticed. After all, it was the southeastern coast of the earth, but now it seemed that Zeus had long known of their existence.
Zeferos didn't want to know why the God King didn't destroy them, but he was sure that there was something he didn't need to know.
"Haha, my friend, you don't have to think too much. That human country is indeed a bit troublesome, but it may not be as scary as you think."
"It will exist, but Zeferos, it will only exist there."
Ever since the Leto incident, Zeus had noticed the existence of Silver Moon City. Those can be called blasphemous remarks and doctrines that despise the gods... At first, Zeus was actually a little panicked. After all, at that time, he had not yet established the royal power ceremony, nor had he experienced the battle to suppress Gaia. He once thought that Silver The existence of Moon City is the tentacle of the original god's plan to subvert Olympus.
But later, with the increase in his own power and his overt and covert attention to Silver Moon City, Zeus gave up this idea. He found that the disdain for the gods seemed not to come from the original god himself, but from his subordinates and followers.
"Human affairs must naturally be left to humans to resolve. After all, the world today...is becoming increasingly unfriendly to God."
Sighing, Zeus became more and more grateful that he had 'invented' the existence of divine magic.
'As the God-King chosen by the will of this world, I will not and cannot reveal the power of God in the human world first. But if you do it first...'
If he can't beat him, isn't it because the world is trying to deflect him? Zeus is already very proficient at this. As for how he can ensure that it is someone else who strikes first——
The number of believers in the Olympus pantheon is dozens of times greater than that of the other side. As time goes by, this demographic advantage will further expand. So no matter how you look at it, if the original god didn't intervene, the other party would definitely not be an opponent.
'Not urgent. '
Thinking silently, although I feel that I have the advantage, Zeus feels that I still can't get things done.
Well, just let the believers in the human world block each other in that small town, and be careful as gods so that we can meet each other later.
······
Spring goes and autumn comes, time passes.
Typhon's plague ended here, but its impact did not stop there.
Whether it is the wonders of time, further strict changes in the laws, or the many 'children' born after its death, these changes have remained in the world of Khaos forever.
But those are all things for later. At this moment, the stream of light wrapped in the power of time and space is still struggling to shuttle through the time and space bubble.
Judging from the trajectory, its landing point is a bit northerly... It should be a place in the northeast of the mainland, near the coastline.
The place is still deserted at the moment, but what it will look like when it really falls is unknown.
