Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 191 Chapter Kratos has brains but not much

The temperament of the King of Gods is unique in the Olympian pantheon, so when Zeus arrived, he didn't need to speak, everyone knew who he was.

The difference is their attitude towards Zeus.

Athena looked calm as usual. She bowed her head, called out "Father", and did not make any further movements. Instead, her eyes were more focused on the writer.

Kratos had a complicated expression, more hatred and anger, but also a hint of doubt; after all, it was Zeus from the big world, whose aura was much stronger than the native gods of the God of War world. Kratos was just irritable and tough, not a fool; especially Athena's sudden surge in combat power had made the Avenger begin to reflect on all the unreasonable things he had experienced along the way.

As for Hercules and Hebe, the goddess of youth, their expressions were very interesting. Fear, panic, loss, all kinds of emotions intertwined, their faces were very colorful. But Zeus just happened to set his eyes on them as soon as he arrived.

"Where is Demeter? Didn't she come with you?" Zeus looked at Hercules and his wife like a beast staring at its prey.

"Demeter is dead. I killed her." Although Kratos began to reflect, he did not yet suspect the two "comrades-in-arms" who had helped him all the way. When he heard Zeus' question, he stood up loyally to share the firepower.

Zeus didn't even look at Kratos; perhaps in the eyes of the King of Gods, the other party was just a knife, a tool, not worth even a glance at.

"Where is Demeter? Is she hiding because she doesn't dare to face me? Call her out." Zeus was still questioning the Hercules and his wife.

Under the pressure of the God King, Hercules gritted his teeth and said: "We don't know!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hercules was lifted up by the neck by an unknown force; although he was twice as big as Kratos, he was like a chicken with its neck pinched in Zeus's hands, with no power to fight back, and only his two legs kicking in the air.

The Goddess of Youth screamed and tried to stop it, but her hands were shaking uncontrollably, and after several attempts at magic she couldn't even maintain the basic structure.

Magic is a highly subjective skill, and similar to the situation of human wizards, when consciousness and reason collapse, even gods cannot cast spells smoothly.

Kratos' performance was much better than Heber's. When he saw his "comrade" was in trouble, he immediately put aside his suspicions and rushed over to help with a knife in hand.

As a result, Zeus just glanced over, and immediately a lightning bolt struck Kratos' bald head accurately, knocking him dozens of steps away.

Kratos, who obtained the power of hope from Pandora's Box, could kill any god in the God of War world, but he could not stop a lightning bolt from Zeus in the big world.

"We really don't know." Hercules still gave the same answer, but this time his tone was not as tough as before, but more like a soft explanation.

"Perhaps He really doesn't know, father." Athena at the side spoke up, "The conspiracy against us is so important that perhaps only the real mastermind can know."

One of Athena's duties is indeed "wisdom". Although Zeus said nothing after his arrival, she guessed the clues with just a few words and gave appropriate suggestions.

Zeus pondered for a moment and then left Hercules behind. He then reached out to grab the ruins of the palace on the top of the mountain. Zeus from the God of War world was grabbed alive and thrown into the arena.

The image of this Zeus is much more miserable and pitiful. His head is bleeding, he is dying, his long hair and beard are stained with blood, and there is almost no trace of divinity in him, as if even his divinity has been destroyed or deprived.

"Tell me, where is Demeter?" Zeus asked the native god king of the branch with the same name as himself, "Besides providing coordinates to Hades of the Roman pantheon, what other tasks does he have?"

Unexpectedly, Zeus from the God of War world lay on the ground and laughed softly; soon, the laughter became louder and louder, almost non-stop. The standing Zeus did not waste any words and stomped on the other's ankle without saying a word.

The sound of bones breaking could be heard clearly from a distance, followed by dull screams.

"You can choose to keep laughing." Zeus stepped on the other intact ankle of the other man again. "You and your Olympus had the opportunity to share my glory, but you chose a path of self-destruction. Now, you still have the opportunity to choose the process of your own death; it can be clean and quick, or it can be excruciatingly painful."

"You actually want to scare me with this?" Zeus, who was lying on the ground, laughed even louder while enduring the pain. "You forgot that I was created based on you. Although I am not you, I know exactly what you will do. You never give people the right to choose unless you have no other choice - and I am the same."

"So, you refuse to answer?" As the victor, Zeus of the big world remained emotionally stable. Even when being laughed at, His tone did not fluctuate at all.

“Hehehe… When you ask me this, aren’t you actually asking yourself?” The loser didn’t even look at his other ankle that was stepped on, as if he no longer cared about the pain in his body. “If you think about why Demeter betrayed you, you should know where He would go the first time His plan failed.”

Zeus stomped his foot expressionlessly, crushing the second ankle. This time, he did not hear the other party's scream, but instead heard a hoarse laugh after a muffled groan.

"The underworld. If Demeter is not in this world, she must have gone back to the underworld in the big world." Athena said slowly, "She wants to see Persephone."

"I know!" Zeus shouted, interrupting his daughter.

Athena kept silent.

Lin Youze recalled the story about Demeter and Persephone.

Demeter, goddess of agriculture, grain and harvest, was Zeus's sister and mistress, and the two had a daughter, Persephone.

Persephone was originally the goddess of seeds, and was considered one of the gods of the agricultural system following her mother; but Hades, the god of the underworld, fell in love with this young and beautiful niece, and designed to take her back to the underworld to be the queen of the underworld.

Hades's action was tacitly approved by Zeus in advance.

Demeter was furious about this and even threatened to make the entire Olympus fruitless forever, and asked Zeus to come forward to rescue her daughter.

According to the myth, Persephone herself was reluctant to stay in the dark underworld; she was tricked by Hades and ate the food of the underworld, so she had to take a compromise plan, staying in the underworld for half a year and returning to her mother for half a year.

It is conceivable that the mother and daughter probably don't like this kind of life very much.

On the other hand, Zeus secretly seduced his daughter while Persephone was in the underworld and gave birth to the goddess Melinoe with her.

I wonder what Melinoe will call Zeus when he grows up? Father or grandfather?

From a human standpoint and moral perspective, Lin You fully understands the actions of Demeter and her daughter in backstabbing Zeus.

　No, no, this is the second update to make up for last night.
