Zeus does not want to be the king of gods in Greece

"Um."

A hundred years have passed, Poseidon is much more stable than before, and his face has also been deliberately adjusted to be much more stable. From a youthful appearance to a middle-aged appearance is also a change in his heart.

"Athena, it's rare for you to come to see me. If you don't have anything to do, go to the Three Treasures Hall. Let's get straight to the point."

Poseidon obviously understands the power of the theocracy of wisdom. Instead of playing around with Athena, it is better to go straight, so that the use of the theocracy of wisdom is limited to the minimum.

"I'm here for the alliance this time."

"alliance?"

Poseidon couldn't help but began to wonder if this was Athena's trick, after all, with her level, it is impossible not to deal with Ares.

"If you can't even deal with Ares, then why can't I take the two of you together? Good niece."

Poseidon answered casually, but he did not despise Athena.

"Ares really doesn't matter, but what if Zeus comes back and starts helping Ares?"

"Click"

Just as Athena finished speaking, there was a sound of rock breaking in the quiet hall.

The armrest of Poseidon's throne was missing a corner, and Poseidon's hand was holding a piece of gravel tightly. Obviously, the news of Zeus' return gave him a great shock.

"Details."

With a wave of Poseidon's hand, the gate of the temple was tightly closed, and then barriers rose one after another. He dared not underestimate any news related to Zeus.

Chapter 170 Overture to War

Some people are happy and some are sad, unlike Athena's tense vigilance, Ares is proud of himself at the moment.

Those Spartans have slapped him hard recently.

In the past few days, several city-state alliance cities have been laid down, and they have survived several waves of city-state alliance counterattacks and gained a firm foothold.

And I don't know which ghost thought of using the method of the Temple of War on the people. When a person who killed the enemy in exchange for military merit appeared, countless human beings began to gather like a school of fish.

Just like using bait to make a nest before fishing, this time the bait is the highest-grade bait called "Military Merit". No matter what kind of fish it is, it can't help but get close to it, and finally all of them are caught by the people of the Temple of War.

The astonishing expansion speed and the desire to fight allow the fledgling rookie to display a combat power that is not inferior to the veterans in the army.

Although I don't know why the situation suddenly turned for the better, since this is an established fact, why bother to investigate too deeply?

He is the god of war, not the god of victory. There is still battle after battle, and victory or defeat is just a footnote in the gap between wars.

Fighting, becoming stronger, continuing to fight, infinitely reciprocating and infinitely becoming stronger, this is the way of survival of God of War.

That's why Ares doesn't bother with these details, he just enjoys the process and doesn't care about the result, he really has muscles in his head but he also understands a key truth.

It is impossible for Athena to kill him, to kill another god without the acquiescence of a god-king, and she is also of the blood of the god-king, this is no longer pulling Zeus' eggs, but slapping Zeus in the face.

It is true that Zeus has not come back now, but it does not mean that he will never come back. What they are fighting for at this time is only in the name of acting as the king of the gods, and they pray that the sooner Zeus comes back, the better.

During this period of time, you can gather faith as much as possible, grasp power and increase strength, and finally negotiate terms with Zeus who came back.

Before Zeus came back, before the complete handover of the God-King position, Ares and Athena belonged to the type that would not die no matter how hard they tried.

In addition, Ares had previously acquiesced in his intention to stand on the earth, and the order was not conveyed by the priests of the Temple of War, which made the priests start to worry about whether they had angered Ares.

Therefore, directly implement the follow-up decisions that are clearly sought after, and don't talk about the topic of divine envoys and oracles.

There was a lack of key information in the communication between the two parties. The priests thought that Ares was dissatisfied with the incompetence of the priests and sent an envoy, while Ares believed that the human priests had finally come to some effect, so naturally they knew nothing about the existence of Zeus.

"You've been quite proud recently."

Just when Ares was secretly delighted, the door of his temple was pushed open here, and Hera walked in slowly behind the light, her expression was cold and she was not at all happy for her son's current situation.

"Mother, the Spartans have conquered several city-states and built temples for me. This is a rare advantage I have over Athena for a hundred years."

Ares has been compared with Athena since he was a child, and he is much inferior every time. Now that he finally overwhelms the other party, he naturally has to show off in front of Hera.

"Oh? How did you get the advantage? Let's talk about it."

Hera was not at all confused by Ares' "proud" record. In her opinion, Ares just knew it but didn't know why.

Relying on others to support him to this height, if others do not support him, he is afraid that he will fall into the abyss with one foot in the air.

At that time, Hera couldn't confirm whether she could hold the son and avoid the ending of being crushed.

Ares was talking about his achievements, but he didn't see Hera's expression. It wasn't until Hera didn't respond for a long time that he stopped talking and stood quietly beside Hera.

He knew that when Hera showed such a look, he was about to lecture, and this time there were no disciples to help him change the subject.

"Ares, you have been suppressed by Athena for so many years, have you figured out why now that things are turning around?"

Hera's words were stinging, and if she treated her son like this, it can be said that she was really angry.

"This... the city-state alliance has been very dirty for a hundred years, and now it is finally exposed. Although the conditions of the Spartans are difficult, they have tempered their will by suffering. In fact, the two sides have been on the rise and fall for a hundred years. Today It just shows up."

In Ares' view, the city-state alliance is just the cradle of cowards. The real warriors surround their homes at the bottom, while the weak who can't even hold a sword lie on the warriors to suck blood. What a corrupt system this is.

It is only right and proper for the strong to stand above all others, and there is a reason for the weak to oppress the strong.

The city-state alliance has suppressed the Spartans for a hundred years, but now it is truly rectifying the chaos, at least in the eyes of Ares.

"Is this really the case? But why did I hear that the Spartans used the so-called military merit system to win over the people of the Federation and gave them a chance to rise, which allowed the Spartans to barely gain a foothold?"

It is naturally impossible for Hera to ignore the affairs of Ares, and she has already inquired about these situations clearly when she arrived here.

It is obvious that someone is planning and planning behind the scenes.

"This military merit system is a variant of the clergy promotion system in my temple, and it's my thing."

When it comes to the military merit system, Ares will not be sleepy.

When he founded the temple to cultivate priests, he didn't understand Athena's system at all. In addition, the social differences between Sparta and city-states couldn't be applied directly. main promotion channel.

Don't make so many weird things, whoever cuts more people and cuts people faster will be the priest.

Otherwise, the ruthless person who copied Athena with the teaching of Ares is not a manager.

"Ares, a sword is a completely different thing in the hands of a child than in the hands of a strong man. You started the military merit system, but you are not the one who spread the military merit system. Don't be blinded by the scenery in front of you." eyes."

Seeing Ares' proud appearance at this time, Hera couldn't help but start to have a headache. Did he protect Ares too well these years?

Maybe, he should really let him fall a somersault hard to get a long memory.

It's just that this somersault was flat and fell, but at this time it is absolutely impossible to fall.

At the beginning, Hera went to the Caucasus Mountains and hoped that Prometheus would explain her doubts, but Prometheus kept silent. This has already made Hera firm in her mind. Combined with Athena on her front foot, the news that Zeus has returned may soon come to an end. Will be known by Poseidon.

"You have been going smoothly these days, I guess Zeus should be back."

"Father is back?"

He is very interested in his strange father, Ares. Of course, this is not because of his filial piety, but because, as the God of War, he naturally wants to challenge the strong.

If you can't have a real fight with Zeus, how can you enjoy the unique "family happiness" unique to Greece, and how can you show the filial piety of Ares to the world.

"What does mother mean...the reason why I have such an advantage now is because my father is secretly manipulating me?"

Seeing that Ares only reacted now, Hera resisted the urge to roll her eyes. Who did Ares inherit from this belated and self-righteous look?

It can't be Zeus, and she, Hera, doesn't think she's stupid, so how can she be right and wrong when she comes to Ares?

"Otherwise, in Greece, how many people can suppress the dominant Athena without showing up? You really think this is your skill."

If an ordinary person sees that his children are loved by the head of the family when he is fighting for the family property, then he will naturally feel stable, and his children will definitely inherit the family business in the future.

But Hera knew that Zeus was not an ordinary person.

That is a God King who is good at calculating, how could he rely on his own preferences to pass on the position of God King at will like a human being.

Now supporting Ares is only to weaken Athena, so that both sides can compete on the same stage in an environment as fair as possible, and finally decide a winner.

Support is not out of love, but that pathetic pity.

Only the weak need support, and only the weak need mercy. Once he is defined as a weak in Zeus's heart, will Ares still have a chance to become a god-king in the future?

Hera looked at Ares with a "steady" look, and really hated iron for being weak.

It's not that she didn't consider helping Ares, but if Zeus knew about it, then in his heart, Ares' rating might drop another level.

"Ares, you have to remember that your current advantage is due to the support of Zeus. This advantage does not belong to you. Once Zeus changes his mind, you will be beaten back to your original shape at any time."

Hera put this sentence aside in the responsibility of being a mother, hoping that Ares can guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and turn this borrowed advantage into his own.

She left this temple, some things are beyond her ability to deal with when the child grows up.

But Ares doesn't think there's anything wrong with this borrowed advantage. Isn't it the same as a fool if you have an advantage and don't use it?

Now that you have an advantage, it is natural to take advantage of your illness to kill you, even if this advantage will slip away, then before it slips away, it is enough to win the final victory.

It's time for an all-out attack.

Expand the flames of war to the whole of Greece, let the flames ignite everyone's will, and then as the god of war, he will become the strongest god.

......

"Zeus is back?"

Poseidon's surface is as sinking as water, but if he hadn't been in front of Athena, a junior, he would have lived in Bengbu long ago.

The person who knows the power of Zeus best in this world, besides Zeus' enemies, is Zeus's comrade-in-arms.

Poseidon even started from scratch with Zeus, directly hit Okuyama to take the bird position, and pushed the mighty Cronus down from the altar.

"That's right, although there is no evidence, but with all kinds of phenomena today, this possibility has to be guarded against."

Athena recounted what she had seen and heard from Prometheus, as well as the strangeness of the Spartans recently, and Poseidon soon believed Athena's deduction.

After all, Ares doesn't have such an IQ.

After learning about the situation, Poseidon panicked. Athena and Ares broke their heads, but it was Zeus's own business. His uncle would be liquidated if he intervened.

But now it's hard to say.

Athena took the initiative to come to her, so she had a legitimate reason to intervene in this battle, no... It was precisely to make herself unable to refuse that Athena took the initiative to speak about Zeus.

How could that Tie Hanhan of Ares consider teaming up with Poseidon when he has such a big advantage.

But Zeus is hiding in the dark, once Poseidon does not join forces with Athena, then he will make a note in the small notebook in Zeus's heart.

My niece is not at all reassuring.

Poseidon sensed Athena's secret threat, but Athena didn't want to have anything to do with her uncle if she could.

In her opinion, Poseidon, the sea king's uncle, has almost always been scheming, doing great things but sacrificing his life, seeing small gains but forgetting righteousness, dying bones in graves... it's written all over his face.

Compared with Hades, who has always been unknown, he is more threatening.

Once the scale of the war gradually gets out of control, then Hades will also have the qualifications to enter the arena. At that time, no matter whether he has the intention to enter the arena or not, he will be a force that cannot be ignored.

Hades with an unclear mind and Poseidon with a clear purpose, who is the better power to master, this is not a difficult choice for Athena.

"Many of the people who believe in me are Spartans. You want me to abandon these believers and join forces with you. For me..."

"It's not a big loss, is it? On the contrary, it's because of the rampant Spartan pirates that the uncle's faith is declining day by day, isn't it?"

Poseidon wanted to sit down and raise the price in exchange for better conditions, but Athena didn't intend to follow the other party's thinking.

"If I remember correctly, my uncle took over the previous sea god, which was my grandfather's theocracy. Both believers and temples are ready-made. You only need to change a statue to use it as your own temple. It stands to reason that you should be the most The god who establishes the advantage of faith first is."

Which pot does Athena not open and which pot to lift? This remark directly broke Poseidon's defenses.

Back then, he had the heart to compete with Zeus, so he chose the theocracy of the Sea God, but under Zeus's maneuvers, a delicate balance was formed among the gods that he dared not break rashly.

The originally established belief advantages were slowed down again because of the need to compensate the goddesses, and in the end it was the disaster of Typhon.

Under these twists and turns, in order to give some newborn gods, the gods made some concessions. Although Poseidon still has an advantage in this way, it is still not obvious.

Finally, something happened that made Poseidon gnash his teeth.

Those Spartans actually started to act as pirates at sea, and those believers who relied on going out to sea to fish and trade to pray for calm and not to be infested by monsters were directly driven away by them.

It's not that Poseidon destroyed several Spartan strongholds as a warning, and then he was blocked by Hera the next day.

After all, Ares is such a naive god, in the peaceful age, who else would go back to believe in it except the Spartans, wouldn’t destroying the Spartans mean destroying the last believers of Ares in disguise?

How can Hera bear this? Although she is not strong in theocracy, she has the status of a queen, plus she is tactful in dealing with the world, and she can talk to all the goddesses. .

After she cried and complained, Poseidon almost died in the Olympus Society. In the end, as the victim, he had to confess his mistake in front of Hera's door, and the matter was finally revealed.

But has it really been uncovered?
