Greece: Age of Ascension

Chapter 142 Drawing Lots to Confer the Gods
With the arrival of the staff, Zeus coughed and stood up. He was wearing a white Greek-style dress with only one shoulder exposed. He had long white wavy hair and a majestic expression.

"The age of the Titans has passed, and now we are about to embrace the future of the gods."

He opened his hands and walked down the high steps, his eyes swept across the audience like a tiger's gaze, and everyone who was staring at him with a raging aura did not dare to confront him, and lowered their heads one after another.

Atlas naturally followed the crowd, lowering his eyes quietly, not looking at him.

"With the end of Cronus' brutal reign, I, in the name of the King of the Gods, will redistribute power at this time."

First of all, he looked at his two older brothers, Hades, the God of Plague, and Poseidon, God of Earthquakes.

The relationship between the three brothers can't be said to be very good, but who makes everyone a family?
No matter how much the two disobeyed Zeus, in the eyes of outsiders, they would always be Zeus' henchmen.

The king of the gods also understood this point, so he said without hesitation: "My brothers, you are a powerful arm to defeat the Titans, without you, no one can predict victory.

Now, in order not to disappoint your efforts, I will share my rights with you. "

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the two to show joy, he continued: "Now we have gained control of the sky, ocean, and earth, and I will return the authority of the earth to the great mother of the earth.

And the world of the netherworld awaits a master.

In order to show fairness, in the witness of the gods, we draw lots to determine the ownership. "

Hades and Poseidon looked at each other, and the earthquake god's eyes seemed to be filled with raging fire, determined to draw a good lottery among the three choices.

Hades was expressionless, calm as a mountain, and his sharp eyes did not give in.

Zeus looked at all the guests, smiled and motioned to the gods for identification.

Then, he put the small balls representing "sky, ocean, and underworld" into a box made of stone.

I don't know what kind of material it is. In short, he isolated the eyes of the gods from prying, but he couldn't stop the eyes of Atlas.

Similarly, of course it can't stop Zeus, but no one else knows the tricks.

If you can't see yourself, you feel that others can't see you either.

The three of them entered the box in three directions.

First of all, let’s take a look at Zeus’s choice. He stretched out his hand, plunged into the stone box, and grabbed the small ball representing "sky".

This ball is clear and misty, with clouds and mist shrouded in it.

In the eyes of everyone, Zeus held up the cloud ball, as if he was holding the entire sky, and showed it generously to the gods.

"From now on, I will be the king standing in the clouds."

Seeing his embarrassed appearance, Poseidon tried his best to hide his jealousy. In fact, he also wanted the sky in his heart. Being able to overlook the earth in the clouds is always an intoxicating feeling.

But when he saw Hades again, he became gloomy in an instant. Among the three brothers, if Zeus was the lubricant that adjusted the gears, the other two were water and fire, and they were naturally at odds.

Therefore, both want to get what the other wants most.

"No matter what I choose, I have to act very happy and make him think that's what I want."

The Earthquake God was thinking dully, together with Hades, he quickly touched a small ball, took it out and looked, it was blue, as if it contained an ocean.

"Great, this is exactly what I want, I will be the king of the ocean!!"

After all, he looked at the God of Plague proudly, as if showing off.

At the same time, Hades also took out the sphere he touched. The sphere was pitch black, and there seemed to be a soul crying inside.

"From now on, I am in charge of the Netherworld!!"

The three of them crushed the sphere, and in an instant, powers such as the sky, the sea, and death poured into them.

Feeling the tumbling power in his body, Atlas remained calm, but his heart was already boiling, because the right to soul and death was exactly the right of his father, Iapseus.

But now both sides are not in the same world, father is different from father, and son is different from son.

He has already ascended, and he has the "power of soul and death" in his body. Now these two powers are just used to ascend other gods.

Poseidon saw that the God of Plague still had that cold and calm attitude, and he didn't seem to be provoked at all, so he couldn't help but muttered in his heart, "Will he be very angry before? Could it be that he is pretending?
Yes, for sure. "

Three points of theocracy, Zeus took the throne again.

Looking at the gods in the temple, he said loudly: "Now, I have divided the regions separately. Do the gods in each region recognize their status?"

He first looked at the gods of the ocean, and Poseidon also surged with divine power, and the sound of the surging water resounded in his body, as if the sea was beating against the shore, booming and majestic.

Nereus, the old man of the ocean, who symbolizes the friendliness of the sea, Taomus, who symbolizes the miracle of the sea, Phorcus, who symbolizes the anger of the sea, Keto, who symbolizes the danger of the sea, and Eurybia, who symbolizes the power of the sea.

Pontus represents the sea itself, and these are all his children.

Since the authority of the sea god was deprived by Cronus, with the defeat of the second generation of god kings, the right of the sea was taken away by Zeus.

Now, he was tossed and wandered, and was taken into Poseidon's arms.

The gods representing the ocean faction also had to bow their heads.

"We would like to regard the great Poseidon as our chief, and at the same time obey the orders of the sky."

The sky at this time, of course, is talking about the newly promoted Zeus.

Zeus was very satisfied with these words, but Poseidon felt a little uncomfortable.

"Since you are my subordinate, of course you can only listen to me. Can't you see that I am equal to Zeus?"

He was very resentful in his heart, and even complained to Zeus, "To steal the show and show off, this guy is still like this."

Of course, these words are just secretly slandering, and it is absolutely impossible for him to say it.

Next, Zeus looked at the gods coming from the underworld.

Most of these are the descendants of Erebus, the god of darkness, and the goddess of the night. The two great gods don't care about things, so most of them are small characters.

Such as: Apata, the goddess of deceit; Momes, the god of mocking, contempt, and blame, and his younger brother, Oges, the god of sorrow, depression, and anxiety; Eris, the god of disputes, and her sister, Neme, the god of karma Sith; Charon who ferries souls; Hypnos, god of sleep, Thanatos, god of death; three goddesses of ecstasy, etc.

Most of the gods are bad, and there are few upright people.

However, no matter how bad it is, Zeus can still suppress it all at once. What he is really worried about is whether Hades, the always calm elder brother, can stabilize the situation.

Turning his head and looking, the other party's face was calm, without showing a trace of timidity, and it was rare to have a mountain-like bearing, as if he had a well-thought-out plan.

Seeing him like this, Zeus couldn't help but nodded in satisfaction. Fortunately, the other party chose the underworld. If Poseidon was that idiot, he might be played around by others, and he would be the one to clean up the mess in the end.
