Greece: Age of Ascension

Chapter 42 The Fundamentals of Theocracy

Before the hoe was invented, often the first thing made was a hammer.

The same principle applies to the present.

The first thing the three one-eyed brothers built was a complete set of forging tools.

This is understandable, after all, no matter how skilled a blacksmith is, he cannot create a sword with his bare hands.

With the cooperation of many giant titans, the three of Brontes produced a set of crude working tools. Next, he asked Volibear to melt the rest of the chains and cast them into an iron embryo.

Then, the three brothers put it on the anvil, forging and beating it repeatedly, while shaping the shape and exerting divine power on it.

It was like a kind of magic, and it seemed like a kind of blessing.

Every time they forged, they would mutter to the iron embryo.

"In the name of the thundering giant, I give you toughness with a hammer!"

Following their words, their divine power was like the sparks splashed by striking steel, sprinkled one after another, bursting out a flash of flame.

Atlas looked inexplicably, and felt that this was not scientific at all. In terms of magic, they seemed to be enchanting the iron embryo.

A piece of embryo is made into a weapon, during which magic is continuously added, and various spiritualities are applied.

It's like building a house, brick by brick, until a big villa is built.

But this method of enchanting is really strange, is it okay to mutter to the big iron block?

Seeing his doubts, the long-armed Guges couldn't help but quietly explained to him: "Before the Cyclops was born, there was no concept of forging in the world.

Since their birth, the great mother Gaia has just forged the scythe of Cronus.

Therefore, the Cyclops is the personality manifestation of the concept of forging, and they hold the authority of forging. "

"I see." Atlas nodded ignorantly, followed by more confusion, "What is the so-called 'authority'? If I speak to the iron embryo, will it also cause the same What about the effect?"

Guges shook his head. As the only one with a little wisdom among the hundred-armed giants, because of his age, he can always accumulate some unexpected experiences, although this is common sense for other gods.

"Authority is the root concept, and God is the deification of the concept."

He looked at the Cyclops who was sweating profusely, and the sound of ding-ding-bang-bang beating was quite rhythmic, like a beautiful movement.

It is hard to imagine that forging can also produce such a beautiful sound, they have simply evolved their skills into art.

The long-armed man continued: "Their monologues are actually the Cyclops using their authority to bless the ironware, and it is a unique form of expression.

You don't have such authority, even if you talk to a piece of iron, it is still a piece of scrap iron. "

Having said that, Atlas instantly understood that the so-called "authority" is not only the deification of the concept, that is, things like "clergy, godhead".

This thing is illusory, but it really exists.

"When you have the power of forging, you can know and understand every forging-related skill in the world in an instant, and you are even more proficient than the person who invented this forging skill."

Guges explained patiently, and his eyes glowed green when he heard it.

If this is the case, if he holds the power of war in the future, wouldn't he be able to learn the so-called art of war, combat skills, and everything without a teacher?
"Guges, respected elder, please use your unique experience to tell me how to gain power?" Qingtian God eagerly grasped the wrist of the long-armed man, with longing in his eyes.

The giant with the longest wingspan couldn't help but recall the color in his eyes. After a long time, Fang recounted the words he had heard.

"If you want to obtain someone else's priesthood, of course you must defeat him and take his godhead, just like that despicable Cronus."

When he mentioned the second generation of God King, raging anger appeared in his eyes, and his expression became a bit ferocious.

"Don't forget, after obtaining the godhead, you have to be recognized by the gods.

But generally speaking, the god king represents the standpoint of the gods, so as long as it is recognized by the god king and canonized by it, the relevant rights can be exercised. "

Mentioning this matter, the furious man couldn't help but speak in a low voice, supplementing Atlas.

"Cronus is a despicable bastard, he took the godhead of that bastard Uranus, you know, neither of them is a good thing."

Kotos gave a "you understand" look, "Because he defeated the king of gods, all the titans and gods recognized and acknowledged his power."

"Not only that, because he helped the great Gaia, he was also endowed with the authority of the earth." Seeing that everyone was chatting hotly, Egaion the sea goat couldn't help but leaned forward, and said sourly: "If at that time Mother Gaia Come to us directly, maybe I can also grasp the power of the earth now."

After hearing this, Atlas couldn't help but look at him a few more times, thinking, "This kid is quite ambitious."

Unexpectedly, when Menoitius heard it, he couldn't help laughing out loud, "Can the gods recognize you when you look like this?"

His words were quite ironic, and instantly touched the sensitivity of the hundred-armed giant's heart, and the three brothers immediately became angry, "If you don't accept me, I will beat them!"

What I said is true, if you don't accept it, let's beat it in the service, the truth is only under my iron fist!
Qingtian God nodded secretly, with a wild light shining in his eyes. According to his understanding, "divine power, godhead, and priesthood" are like a special buff, a gain effect from the concept.

Strong ones such as "Pontos, God of the Sea", represent the salty and wet ocean. He is not only the deification of the concept of the sea, but also the sea itself.

In the sea, there are also storms, waves, thunder, etc., so the authority of the sea god often includes these abilities.

The difference is that Lei and Lei, due to the influence of factors such as understanding, compatibility, etc., exert different powers.

Like Zeus, the fit with Thunderbolt is perfect, so he is more powerful than others when using it.

The weaker concept is like Epimetheus, who represents "behindsight". He doesn't know anything about things that haven't happened. No matter how you conceal or deceive things that have happened, he only needs to think more about them. After a brainstorming session, you can guess almost exactly.

This shows how terrifying the power of theocracy is.

This is completely a rule, and the godhead is the carrier of the rules.

Obtaining the approval of the gods is equivalent to obtaining the approval of other rules, such as a space shuttle, the internal parts are complex and precise, and only the corresponding screws can be screwed in to become a part of the spacecraft.

If there is no godhead but not recognized, it is like a No. 10 screw that must be screwed into the No. 9 port, and it cannot be integrated into the system at all.
