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

The black-robed priest didn't care about Medusa's words at all. In his opinion, if the Spartans hadn't warned the temple not to move, he would have done it.

"To blaspheme the dead and let the corpses of the dead live again in the world, is this your belief in death?"

"Naturally, you don't need you to teach me the truth about the death of the dead returning to the underworld, but there should be a workaround for special times. My lord Hades has already promulgated the oracle. The dead on the battlefield can wait until the end of the war to return to the underworld. It is not a blasphemy, but a kindness of the gods."

After the black-robed priest finished speaking, the crowd erupted in commotion.

If one's own life can be exchanged for the prosperity of the family, is this a reasonable deal?

Desires among the crowd are surging, people who can't see hope are eager to try, but Medusa understands a truth.

When the value of human life is put on the balance, no matter what the outcome of this transaction is, its birth is wrong.

But... what can she do?

Once human desires are inflamed, any existence that stands in the way of their desires will be regarded as an enemy.

Even though Medusa is highly respected here, she is the priest of the god they believe in.

But the military exploits of the Spartans are not empty words, and the living dead of the priests of Hades have also seen it with their own eyes.

The crowd began to rush in the direction of the black-robed priest, and many people converted on the spot and were willing to be Hades' dog.

Opening her mouth was a small composition like "Hades, take me away". Only then did Medusa understand that human beliefs are not as indestructible as they said.

Medusa has returned to the temple. Today's temple is full of people. The crowds in the past can't be said to be exactly the same, it can only be said to be quite different.

"disappointed?"

Zeus had been watching just now. He couldn't understand why Ares did such a thing. Even in this era when the news was not so circulated, Zeus, who was in the temple, understood that Ares now has the upper hand.

Why do you want to join forces with Hades even though you have the upper hand? Is Ares, the God of War, so afraid of losing?

"Human beings are changeable, even if I look at it for 100 years, I still can't understand it."

Medusa is naturally angry, as a belief and oath, this originally sacred term falls on human beings, but it can be easily changed day and night.

This naturally makes people angry.

"Perhaps it's too weak. Humans are too weak compared to us."

"But that's no reason to do it. It's not a time when you can't live without conversion."

If you don’t believe in Pluto after death, you will suffer endless torture, and if you change your faith under such coercion, then Medusa will not blame them.

But they are just for pure profit.

"It's really because of this that kindness, honesty, and perseverance... these qualities are worthy of admiration. The more filthy the world is, the more dazzling the human beings with these qualities are."

There is no need for Medusa to repeat the evil of human beings. Zeus himself knows the essence of human beings clearly, but as long as human beings still have the slightest sparkle, then they are still worth saving.

"How about Medusa leaving with me?"

"leave?"

Medusa was in Athena's temple to hide Zeus's whereabouts as much as possible. If both Zeus and Medusa left the temple, then Athena might not be able to detect the abnormality here.

"That's right, I didn't help Dana go home before, just because I didn't want to expose my identity, but now that my identity as a god has been exposed, it's not a big deal to help her return to her hometown as a friend."

"Dana's city-state? Argos... can indeed go back now. The three sisters of fate are the daughters of Themis, and the relationship between Mnemosyne and Themis is not difficult to return to the temple. .”

Normally, that would be something Medusa would be happy about, but the current situation is so bad, even if she gets a city-state on an island, it is not something worth being happy about.

Athena's disadvantage at this time cannot be saved by one or two cities at all.

"Well, help your friend get back your own things, and at the same time, let's end this war as soon as possible."

Zeus looked at the restless crowd, this could no longer be called a war, if the situation develops to the end, it will be a question of whether there are still living people on this land, and even Greece will become a country of the living dead.

He wants to end this fight as soon as possible.

......

"You're leaving Laconia?"

Athena looked at Medusa's face in the holy flame. In the past hundred years, Medusa has rarely asked for it. Although Athena is not unreasonable about such a small matter, it is just that any changes at this point in time must be taken care of.

"That's right. A few days ago, I met Mnemosyne and Leto who came to the city-state alliance to play in the city. Now I have nothing to do in Laconia. Why don't you go to Argos to help you restore the local beliefs."

"they?"

Athena heard these two names, and immediately began to think. When she was wooing Poseidon, Ares was not slow at all.

Although Athena blocked the sea route and caused the Spartans to lose a lot of combat power, but once the living dead also joined the battlefield, the battle situation seemed to return to the original point.

Hades is in the game, huh, huh

Athena showed a smile, no matter how far this game develops, but with Hades entering the game, she is already invincible, and the next thing to do is to hide everything on the table The force below pulled it out of the water.

"It's not bad. Try to be better with them. It's best to get back the faith of Argos. Living overseas there can be used as a backup base. If you can't get it back, don't force it. It's not appropriate to have bad relations with them at this time."

How dare you agree so readily?

Medusa was a little surprised. After all, if she was in Laconia, she could be more or less an insider to inquire about information, but if she wanted to leave here, the temple would die to protect it.

Argos' faith should not be enough to make Athena make such a concession, but since Athena agreed, she would borrow the slope to get off the donkey.

Leaving Zeus and a group of women outside, I am afraid that it will not be the time of Argos, and a group of new gods will be born.

It's really worrying without her.

"Medusa, I will leave Argos to you, and I will focus on the military."

Athena exchanged a few words and then hung up the communication between the two parties. Although Athena, the goddess of victory, was competitive, she was not so stupid as to airdrop an oracle and perform a micro-manipulation in the air.

She walked out of the temple, and then walked on the mountain road of Olympus again, this time she did not go to Poseidon's temple, but came to the place where the gods discussed.

"This is what you see."

Without Zeus, the daily morning meeting would naturally be impossible to continue. Athena walked behind Zeus's seat and looked at everything in front of her.

In her eyes, it was not the emptiness, but there were gods sitting in their respective seats, their expressions were different and their eyes wandered, as if they were guessing the mind of the seated person.

And in the seat of honor, Athena could only see a phantom, he smiled and looked at the gods, everything seemed to be under control.

Suddenly, the mountains and mist blew and brought up a strong wind, all the phantoms in front of Athena receded, and the place of discussion was empty again, leaving only Athena alone.

"I don't know if I will win, but all the conditions are met, I can't lose anymore, and what are you going to test me with?"

Whether it is humans or the gods of Olympus, the evaluation of Athena can not be compared with being competitive, because she will never be impulsive, and will always do what is best for herself.

Even if the worst happens, I have already made a plan that I will never lose.

Ares is not worried at all, the only one who really cares is Zeus who is hiding behind the scenes.

"Oh, you are here, how about it? Are you going to pray to your father and let him pamper you?"

An unpleasant voice came, it was as disgusting as eating shit-flavored chocolate.

Athena turned her head and saw Ares walking slowly, and the smug smile on the other side made shit-flavored chocolate upgrade to chocolate-flavored shit.

"Is it too early to be so proud now?"

"No, it's because it's now that I'm laughing, Athena, you know how long I've been waiting for today."

How long did Ares wait for today? Athena understood the meaning of the other party's words. The so-called "today" is not "now", nor is it that Athena is at a disadvantage, but that Athena has no way to use other powers to avoid the conflict. The moment of Ares' confrontation.

Not any other time, but now.

"Ares, you have to understand that there are actually a lot of things to consider as a god. In my opinion, none of the gods of Olympus can be considered a qualified god except father."

What does the god do? Why can a god be called a god?

This is a question that Athena has been thinking about since she was born, and after she obtained the divine right of wisdom, she also got the answer that best met her psychological expectations.

"God is a creature that can meet everyone's expectations. God is a creature that can do everything but do nothing. God is a creature whose body is in the clouds and spiritually rooted in the ground."

"Speaking in human language, I don't understand."

Ares is a rough man, so rough that he is sighing. He is not stupid and does not know the deep meaning of Athena, but simply does not want to think deeply, as if his head is not brains but sulfuric acid. His brain was left with indelible damage.

"In my opinion, God should be omniscient and omnipotent. He can do everything, but he can restrain his own strength and do nothing. He can stand in the sky and overlook all living beings, but he can also think about the survival of all living beings. The absolute love and absolute product of the union of evil."

Omniscient?

Listening to Athena's explanation, Ares couldn't help but sneered, that kind of thing really might exist.

"That's an impossible realm to reach. When a creature reaches that level, it basically abandons desire itself. Is that what you expect?"

Athena didn't answer Ares's voice, her eyes were full of pity, and the roaring mountains and haze were the merciless answer.

You are not my opponent.

"It's really interesting. Since you want to be that kind of existence, you won't reject my gauntlet today, right? I'm tired of boring games."

That's right, this is the real purpose of Ares coming to Athena, a positive letter of war, a signal to start a full-scale battle.

Ares finally waited for a chance to face Athena face to face, a chance to smash Athena's face with his fist.

"Even if I refuse, you won't stop, right?"

There is no doubt but affirmation. Athena knows what Ares wants, and keeps fighting without asking the result. Unless the opponent is too strong to challenge, Athena will never stop.

"certainly."

"Then, I promise. The all-out war between us will start at this moment. I will not take any of your face into consideration. I will use the most direct method to win the most direct victory."

Athena sighed, she didn't expect that she would make a misjudgment on this basic question.

Is Ares really challenging himself everywhere because he is dissatisfied with being in power?

No, although Ares is aggressive but does not fight for power, Athena has been clear about this for a long time. What Ares really dislikes about Athena is that Athena uses tricks to win every time he challenges him.

This way can never convince Ares, only by beating him continuously with the purest violence, hitting him on the ground and begging for mercy, can he stop for a while.

To deal with barbarians, you can only tame them in the way of barbarians. In the face of absolute beatings, absolute violence, and absolute pain, God of War will also succumb.

"You're pissing me off, little brother."

"Who is the younger brother and who is the younger sister? It won't be revealed until the fight is over, isn't it?"

Ares smiled. He finally waited until the moment when Athena took over the challenge and faced off. Between war and victory, it was finally time to decide who was the right path.

Two powerful magic powers caused the mountain of Olympus to tremble, causing slight ripples in the tea of ​​the two goddesses hiding in the garden.

"Reckless, the one who wants to seize the initiative now is obviously Athena. Ares' current situation is not so advantageous that he can go one-on-one with Athena. When will his impatience be changed?"

Although it was a criticism, Hera was still very satisfied with the current situation. The two children can get enough experience. Presumably, when they fight against the white giant in the future, Greece will have a better chance of winning.

"It turned out to be at this time..."

Metis looked embarrassed, glanced at Hera and left quickly, her guilty look was captured by Hera.

"What's wrong?"

"Actually, my sister also knows that Zeus once gave me a shield..."

"Of course I know."

The Shield of Aegis, the artifact that shined in the fight against Cronus, was specially created by Zeus to protect the safety of Metis, and this artifact has been inseparable from Metis ever since.

"Wait, don't you..."

"Sorry, I forgot to take it back when I gave it to Athena."

Metis stuck out his tongue playfully, such a cute appearance is not at all like being a wife, as if he is back.

If Zeus were to see the lovely appearance of Metis, then both of Zeus' heads would stiffen, but the one who can enjoy this view now is Hera.

Hera's two heads are also very hard now, but not two heads up and down, but two fists on the left and right.

Two eyes and one black, this word is probably the word that most accurately expresses Hera's emotions.

What is this natural gram green tea?

"Is there anything else you forgot with Athena? Say it in one breath."

Hera resisted the urge to lift the table, if she didn't know that the former Goddess of Wisdom really lacked a muscle, Hera would definitely think that she had met a more advanced tea art master.

"No, no more."

Metis quickly waved his hand and shook his head. Although he didn't produce any evidence, he tried his best to prove his innocence, and Hera didn't want to add more cracks to his rare friendship, so he exposed the matter.

It’s just that Hera wondered more than once whether Ares and Athena had misunderstood their mother, or they could have two children with opposite personalities.

"However, did Zeus expect those two children to fight so early? I hope it won't affect his plan."

Seeing Hera's ugly face, Metis hurriedly changed the topic, and Hera glanced at Metis angrily, and then gave the answer.
