[Greek Mythology] Beside the Throne

The horn of the Protoss was blown on the main hall of Olympus, and the thick and loud sound spread throughout the world.

Except for a few goddesses, all the Titans were sealed in the abyss hell Tartarus accompanied the previous generation of God King Cronus.

On the temple of Olympus, all the gods are present, except for a few original gods who did not come, all who should come have come.

Rhea put on a complicated and gorgeous robe and wore the crown of the Queen of God, followed by Nymph, and walked in from outside the hall under the eyes of the gods.

The man with blond hair and blue eyes next to Rhea is Zeus.

Sitting on one of the highest thrones, Rhea looked down upon the gods with Zeus at her side.

The Titan family has already declined, but Rhea is the mother of the next generation of god-kings. Her glory did not decline because of her husband Cronus' defeat, but continued because of it.

Mnemosyne, the goddess of memory, stood with several sisters and almost tried to hide.She didn't forget how she humiliated Rhea before. If Rhea wanted to deal with herself, it would be a breeze in the current situation.

Looking back at this time, the Goddess of Memory regretted what she had done.

However, Rhea didn't have time to think about Mnemosyne at all at the moment.All her thoughts are now on Zeus.

How to let one's most beloved son ascend to the position of God King is the most important thing at present.

Thinking of this, Rhea looked at the children standing together below.

Those were Hades, Poseidon, Hera, Hestia, and Demeter.

They were all eaten by Cronus before his eyes, and stayed in that dark place for hundreds of years.

Rhea didn't want to see them, seeing them was equivalent to mentioning the things she didn't want to recall in the past.

Compared with them, Zeus is the child he has seen growing up since he was a child.It was Zeus who rescued himself from the shadow of Cronus.

Zeus, my favorite child.

Rhea closed her eyes and thought about all this, and she wiped away the guilt in her heart and the last trace of love for Hades and others.

Opening her eyes, she looked at Prometheus, who was standing among the gods, and let him go out.

"Noble goddess." Prometheus came out and saluted Rhea.

Rhea raised her hand to him.

"Yes."

Prometheus took out four wooden sticks from his hand.He said to the brothers of Hades, including Zeus who was standing beside Rhea: "These four wooden signs are written with 'Sky, Sea and Hell' respectively."

His words made all the gods in the audience know that the lottery was going to be used to determine the ownership of the next god king.

"Isn't this too rash?" Some gods have already started to say it.

Every generation of god kings is held by the strongest among them. It is too ridiculous to decide by lottery this time.

However, Rhea is the mother of these candidates for the God King, if she meant it, then no one has the ability to refute it.

As the voice faded away, Prometheus motioned for the four sons of Cronus to draw lots.

Hades took one first, and when he opened it, the word "Hell" was written on it.Poseidon opened it, and "Ocean" was written on it.

The position of God King has nothing to do with them.

This may be the time when Poseidon is closest to the position of God King, but the goddess of fate does not favor him.This frustrates him a bit.However, he hoped that Hera could draw the wooden sign with "sky" written on it.

The first king of gods was Uranus, the god of the sky, and the sky in the future refers to the king of gods.

Like Hades, he liked Hera much more than this later brother Zeus.

Zeus walked down the steps, and he and Hera took the last two wooden sticks from Prometheus's hand almost at the same time.

"Look first." Zeus said to Hera, his eyes were clear and his eyes were smiling.

Hera looked at Hades and Poseidon, and then opened the wooden sign.

There is no word on the wooden sign, which means that Hera can only stay in Olympus as a main god.He can't become the lord of any god domain.

The god-king belongs to Zeus.

Poseidon's gaze almost stared at the wooden stick in Hera's hand, but no matter how he looked at it, there was still nothing written on it.

Hades was also full of shock.

"What about yours?" Poseidon said to Zeus.

Hera, who was standing next to Poseidon, was not angry because she didn't get the wooden sign with the word "sky".His eyes are transparent and clear, as if everything in the world is reflected in his eyes, only the truth.

Zeus looked at Hera, the smile on his face undiminished.

When Zeus listened to Hera's words and was about to open the wooden stick, Rhea, who had left the throne, came over and took the wooden stick and crushed it into powder with divine power.

The powder of the wooden stick fell between Rhea's fine white fingers, and she couldn't see anything.

"There is no need to read it anymore." Rhea said this to Hera.

Then Rhea turned to the gods and said, "The new king of gods has been chosen."

"Zeus!" Rhea took Zeus's hand and said.

Under Rhea's notice, the gods saw clearly the god who had gone to the temple with Rhea before.

Zeus, the third generation of God King.

After announcing this important event, Rhea asked the gods to go to the courtyard to prepare a grander banquet than any previous one.

Hades, Hera and others were different from other people who came to Zeus to celebrate, they left first.

Hestia and Demeter didn't know whether to follow Hades and the others or stay here to attend the banquet afterwards.

In the end, Hestia left and Demeter stayed.

Zeus, who was congratulating in the crowd, looked up and saw Hera's look when he turned around.

In Hera's eyes, Zeus saw clearly.

It turned out he knew.

"Zeus, congratulations." Metis came to her husband and said.

Her original decision was not wrong, Zeus really became the king of gods.

Zeus saw Metis embrace her in his arms.

"Thank you Metis," said Zeus.

In this feast of the gods, which was grander than ever before, Zeus, already wearing the crown of the god king, sat on the highest throne and looked down on the gods.Just as he had imagined.

Rhea, as the mother of the former God Empress and the current God King, sits next to Zeus.

She saw that a few seats were empty, which were exactly where Hades Hera and the others should have sat.

Neither Hades nor Hera nor Poseidon attended the feast.

The gods saw these things in their eyes, but they didn't show it on the surface.

Now who is more worthy of flattery than the new God King?

Zeus did not refuse the gods to come up to toast and bless them in turn.Drink glass after glass of fine wine, as if you won't get drunk.

But he was a god, how could a god get drunk?

When his eyes were dim, he seemed to see someone coming.

"Hera..." Zeus pronounced the name.

He clearly knew that he had tampered with Rhea and Prometheus during the lottery, so why didn't he say it?

Hera's silence made Zeus's previously thought-out rhetoric and preparations a joke.

The more Hera was indisputable, the more embarrassed and ironic Zeus felt!

It seems that the position of the king of gods is not rare, and it is a charity.

Ah……

Picking up the wine in the golden cup and gulping it down, Zeus's face did not have the joy of a winner, but was covered with haze.

Rhea felt a little distressed when she saw her son, but she had to deal with such a scene.

"Demeter, bring Zeus back to the palace." Rhea ignored Zeus's wife Metis, but called the only youngest daughter who didn't leave.

Demeter's cuteness reassured her, but Metis...

Rhea didn't like the goddess who married Zeus without her consent.

"Yes, Mother Goddess." Demeter obediently agreed to Rhea's words.

Metis did not dare to disobey Rhea and had to watch Zeus leave.

After passing through green trees, flowers and trees, and through fountains and pools, the two came to the temple.

Along the way, Zeus was sober but let himself be pressed on his sister. At this moment, it seemed that there was a behemoth imprisoned in his heart that needed to be released.

The hot air with the smell of wine sprayed on Demeter's ear, and the beautiful goddess Hongxia slapped her face.

The person who drank too much changed from Zeus to her.

After waving away Ningfu and attendants, the palace door was closed.

The gods were all drinking and having fun at the banquet, and no one could see it.

Tonight, the moon and stars are scarce, and the spring is just right.
