Greek Mythology: The Spiritual Dominator.

Chapter 452 'Rescue'

At midnight, the moon was full in the sky.

The light of the silver moon shone from the west, casting a long silhouette on the sacred mountain.

Behind the main peak of Olympus, in a majestic palace made entirely of bronze, the God of War woke up from his bed.

The moonlight shone through the skylight onto the sculpture-like body, and Ares looked a little unhappy.

Due to Aphrodite's 'reward' today, he had just gone to bed.

But before he could rest, the keen spiritual perception brought by the theocracy of [War] awakened him.

He was not the only one in the palace at this time, but compared to Ares, the goddess of beauty was still stretching her body on the bed covered with roses, pomegranates and myrtles, unaware of anything.

Even if she doesn't actively use her power, the sleeping Aphrodite is still enough to charm everyone.

However, the God of War who was awakened at this time had no time to appreciate this beautiful scenery that had been admired by countless people, because in his perception, a magnificent aura was rising from a corner of the mountain.

wow——

The next moment, it was just as Ares expected.

A bright beam of light rose from the ground, as if connecting the sky and the sacred mountain together.

However, feeling the breath coming from the beam of light, Ares breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's the power of the sun... What is Hephaestus doing, making such a noise in the middle of the night?"

"Hmm, that's not right. He said that the smelting of the divine weapon is about to make a breakthrough in the next two days, so this is his method..."

Without doubting anything else, Ares just shook his head slightly. At this moment, he couldn't help but envy Hephaestus' talent.

Ever since the sun was sealed, there have been gods who have been interested in the remains of the ancient god that replaced the sun.

However, apart from Apollo who can use the power of the Sun Chariot to control it, no other god can utilize their power.

Before today, no one knew that the God of Craftsmanship could also mobilize the power of the sun.

Even if it is only used indirectly, this is an incredible ability.

"Humph, although we are both born of the Mother Goddess, he cannot compare to me in appearance and strength, and he does not have a wife as beautiful as me."

"So what if you can forge iron? You are more than just a craftsman."

With a cold snort, Ares decided not to continue watching the other party's casting.

He was startled in the middle of the night and thought something had happened. It was such a waste of time.

Especially seeing that Aphrodite seemed to be awakened by the huge noise, Ares hurried forward.

"Um...what happened?"

"Nothing, just what Hephaestus said during the day."

"There has been a breakthrough in the refining of the divine weapon. It has nothing to do with us."

Although the warning still existed, Ares still spoke casually.

You know, his spiritual perception from the divine power doesn't always work.

For example, the accident that had caused him great embarrassment, in the end, nothing happened. (See 3-113)

Maybe it's just because the power of the sun is too strong. You know, the Mother Goddess once said that if the sun had not split, the ancient Sun God would have already mastered power that is comparable to that of the God King and Mother Earth.

In this situation, it is inevitable that he will instinctively feel threatened.

"Is that so...it seems to be going well."

Opening her eyes, Aphrodite stretched slightly, causing the God of War's eyes to widen.

Ignoring Ares's fiery gaze, Aphrodite looked through the skylight at the rising column of light in the distance.

The power of the sun was so warm and ardent that the blazing sun rising in the dead of night alarmed all beings on and below the sacred mountain.

However, just like Ares, even though the pillar of light rose, no god went to check it out.

The casting of Hephaestus had been widely known dozens of days ago, so naturally no one was surprised.

But as she looked, Aphrodite suddenly discovered that something else seemed to appear in her sight.

"That is……?"

The beam of light dissipated in an instant, and the originally scattered light seemed to return to its origin.

On the mountain where Hephaestus was, a spot of light flashed for a moment.

The next moment, Ares, who was facing the goddess of beauty, felt an inexplicable throbbing in his heart, and he turned his head subconsciously.

However, what appeared in his sight was only a ray of light that seemed to be able to split the sea.

"Ares..."

"Death!"

boom--!
Like the morning star colliding with the earth, Mount Olympus stopped for a moment, and then one-sixth of the mountain range in the south began to break off inch by inch, starting with the peak where the god of war was located.

In an instant, all the gods still remaining on the sacred mountain realized that something was wrong, but it was too late for them to rescue.

At the same time, Achilles, standing in the sky, was looking at the results of his sword strike in shock.

With just a wave of his hand, the thousands of miles of mountains of Olympus collapsed in front of him, splashing up smoke and dust into the sky.

Even though the main peak remains majestic, it is the first time that the young hero has seen such a scene in all the years.

Once, the Centaur had told him that a true war between gods could pierce the earth and even tear the sky apart.

The supreme primordial gods can even make the stars fall, the sun set over the sea, and even shatter the sky.

But from childhood to adulthood, Achilles had never really seen such a scene.

In his understanding, he only knew that even the goddess of hunting had to draw her bow and arrow, and the monarch of the sea had to be speechless in front of the top demigod.

Even though he was separated by the power of the Styx, Achilles was not moved by the power of the gods until he was struck by divine power not long ago.

However, at this moment, this overwhelming scene made the young hero speechless.

"This……"

“…Is this the true power of the gods?”

"Or is this just the divine power that belongs to this sword alone?"

Gripping the hilt tightly, a hero who had never truly wielded such power had no way of judging the strength of the opponent. He only knew that all the previous attacks of the gods on him combined were not as powerful as this sword.

With his eyes slightly shining, Achilles strode forward and stabbed his sword towards the place where Ares' breath was.

Take advantage of his illness and kill him.

Although he didn't know why the God of War failed to react to his attack just now, Achilles would not show mercy.

A boundless sense of power was flowing towards him along the edge of the sword. At this moment, the young hero felt that he was invincible.

"Ares...get out!"

boom--!
The resounding voice echoed through the sacred mountain, and Achilles laughed out loud.

So what if he is the King of Gods? He will first deal with the one who is blocking his way, and then learn from the other gods one by one about their power.

"Come--"

"——Let's fight!"

Just like the sun rising over Mount Olympus, the entire area east of Mount Olympus turned from night to day.

The collision between the sun and war began on the sacred mountain.

······
boom--

boom--

Rumble——!
…Above Mount Olympus, a war between gods that has not been seen for a thousand years is breaking out.

However, on the main peak, everything seemed as if nothing had happened.

Zeus sat at the head of the Golden Palace, happily watching the shaking and roaring in the distance.

It's like an accompaniment to a drink, or a grand play.

The King of Gods simply used his power to freeze the main peak of Mount Olympus, and then turned a blind eye to it.

Unlike Zeus, at this moment, gods were walking into the Golden Palace one after another and sitting down in their respective seats.

They were all gods who were awakened by Achilles' movement and came here to wait for Zeus' orders.

Ares was fighting hard, but none of the gods present came to help him.

This is not because of any grudges, but everyone knows that the King of Gods has not been out in recent days.

Since he did not leave, there must be a reason why Zeus did not suppress the mortal who shook the mountain of gods at the first time.

Rather than stopping the battle itself, the gods wanted to know the answer to this question.

If Zeus actually had another relationship with that human...then why did they do it?

"His Majesty."

Time passed minute by minute, and when the gods who stayed in the sacred mountain gradually gathered, someone finally couldn't help but step out.

"The prisoners captured by the God of War are wreaking havoc on the sacred mountain. His Highness Ares is fighting the enemy."

"I don't know... Does His Majesty have any orders?"

"……Um?"

After drinking a glass of wine, Zeus signaled to the goddess of youth to fill it up. He seemed to have just noticed the dispute outside the Golden Palace.

Reaching out his hand and tapping lightly on the table, the King of Gods looked around at all the gods, then smiled and spoke under the gazes of all kinds of people.

"I already know about the mortals who are causing trouble outside."

"He was originally the son of the daughter of the sea god and a mortal. Fortunately, he received the help of the goddess of the underworld and became immortal."

"However, his own strength is limited. He should not have such power to wreak havoc on the sacred mountain. It is only the weapon in his hand that gives him the power to be as powerful as he is today."

"Just looking at that weapon... I can't make a move."

"weapon?"

Some gods were surprised. They came in a hurry and didn't pay any attention to the sword in Achilles' hand.

Some gods were secretly keeping an eye on them, and they saw the powerful sword on their way here.

It was a high-level divine weapon comparable to the [Thunder Arrow], but for some unknown reason, that human was able to unleash its full power.

Judging from Zeus' attitude, I'm afraid there really is a secret here.

"Your Majesty, I wonder what is so special about that sword?"

On the high platform that belongs only to the main god, the God of Wind, who had just returned to the sacred mountain today, bowed slightly.

Although Zeus didn't say anything when he saw this, he was very satisfied in his heart.

As expected, he is worthy of being his most trusted subordinate, so he called him back today specifically.

Even without prior instructions, I know what the crux of the problem is.

"This sword is not mine, nor is it a treasure of the gods of the world."

"Thousands of years ago, when I first ascended to the throne of God King, I went to visit the Spirit Lord and Mother Earth."

"As expected, the sword must have come from the spirit world."

With a smile on his face, Zeus watched the changing expressions of the gods.

"As you all know, I have always respected the original gods since I succeeded the throne of God King."

"Even if the Earth Mother attacks, I will not make things difficult for her unless she wants to overturn the sacred mountain."

"Now that this human has been given a sword by the Lord of the Spirit World, I think he must be favored. If I kill him, it will inevitably cause trouble."

"So who among you is willing to help me capture this lunatic who offended the sacred mountain?"

In silence, Zeus's concepts blurred.

No one stipulates that holding a sword from the spiritual world means that it is necessarily caused by the will of the Lord of the spiritual world.

Moreover, whether this sword is related to the spiritual world is now only Zeus's one-sided statement.

But at this moment, no one pointed out the problem.

After all, this is a high-level divine weapon that has never been seen before, and only the ancient god of creation can wield it.

From the perspective of the Olympian gods, no one would dare to lend out such a sacred artifact without permission, unless the original god himself gave the nod.

So there should be no falsehood in this story, and the origin of this human being is indeed true.

But now that his identity has been confirmed, the question arises: If this is true, who should capture him?
Although few of the gods today have seen Ryan use his full strength, the three words "original god" are enough to make them dare not speak.

"…Your Majesty, this matter is probably not simple."

In the silence, the God of West Wind broke the peace again.

Zeus raised his hand slightly, motioning him to continue.

"Regarding the matter between His Highness Ares and this human... let's not talk about right or wrong for now."

"But if the gods in the Divine Court take action, it will inevitably cause some trouble."

"You must know that since your majesty ascended the throne, your divine power has been supreme. First, you suppressed the Earth Mother, and then defeated Typhon. Even the ancient gods of creation would not dare to underestimate your majesty's reputation."

"This is a good thing, but if the gods in the Divine Court take action in today's incident, it will inevitably be seen as a contest between Your Majesty and the Ancient Gods. Regardless of the final victory or loss, it will only cause trouble."

The God of Wind spoke sternly and no matter whether they looked down on Zeferos or not on weekdays, all the gods could not help but nod secretly at this moment.

It's good not to take action. The tragic scene during the Battle of Typhon is still vivid in our memory.

As for Zeus, he also nodded slightly, as if he was also annoyed by Zephyrus's words.

"Then how should we deal with it, in your opinion?"

"I think Your Majesty could write a letter and ask the reclusive gods to come here to help in the battle. They should not refuse."

"This will not only prevent your majesty from having a conflict with the ancient gods, thus preventing a catastrophe, but will also prevent the majesty of the gods from being destroyed and causing mortals to despise the existence of the gods."

His expression remained respectful as Zephyrus continued.

"What's more, there are many capable people in the starry sky and the sea, who are no less capable than the main gods. As long as we can invite one or two of them, I think someone will be able to subdue this mortal and restore peace to the mountain."

"it is good!"

He clapped his hands gently, and the God King couldn't help laughing when he heard the words.

He then slowly swept his gaze over the gods and asked for their opinions.

"Do you have any objections to Fengshen's suggestion?"

Naturally, no one would have any objection when Zeus spoke.

Anyway, they are not the ones who are doing the work, so anyone can be the other person.

Seeing that they had reached a consensus, Zeus turned his gaze back and continued to ask: "Since all the gods have no objection, then this is settled."

"But who should we invite to help is also a problem."

"But I won't trouble two masters for one thing. Zeferus, take my token and go on my behalf."

"Just like before, I believe you won't let me down."
