Greece: Zeus made me the queen of heaven?

Chapter 165: The Minotaur Soul is Burning
Greek heroic education emphasizes that if God wants to give a man a great responsibility, he must first make his heart and mind suffer and his muscles work hard.

What? A happy family with both parents and no worries?

What kind of hero are you?! What kind of demigod are you?!

The Batman tradition has existed since ancient times.

After being enlightened by Amalthea, Eros felt much better.

Amalthea also convinced him of his limited sense of responsibility and conscience.

This is the style of Greek gods and has nothing to do with Eros' personal character.

Despite this, Eros still gently picked up Europa and wrapped her in soft silk.

"Let me do it. I'll take good care of her."

Amalthea stood up, covered with a veil, and took Europa over.

It's better for them to do this kind of thing.

"This quiet room has been messed up. Let's ask someone to clean it up later."

Holding Europa in her arms, Amalthea went to take care of her first.

Eros sat in the quiet room, waved his hand, and restored everything to normal.

After gaining great satisfaction, Eros wanted to take stock of his other gains.

[Soul of the Minotaur]

You possessed the goddess Europa and became the creator of Minos, who was famous for his minotaur. Your body is filled with the soul of the minotaur.

Effect: Increases attraction to special groups and slightly reduces their defensiveness.

Special groups? What special groups? Could you please explain it more clearly?

And are you a bit of a hell?

Minos was given to the Minotaur by his bull, but you gave this?
By then, Minos might have thought: Oh no, the Minotaur is actually my dad?!

[Zeus deliberately lost his wet nurse]

With the help of Zeus, you tasted the goat's milk you had been craving for, and the magical taste made you unable to extricate yourself.

Effect: Obtain the summoning ritual [Feast the Darkness in the Forest]. Please use with caution.

What is this?
Eros was about to say this when the mysterious knowledge that emerged in his mind choked him.

Then he silently sealed this technique deep in his mind and never used it again.

Since Amalthea is a goat mother, you can give him the summoning technique of a black goat kid, right?

If Eros wanted a cub, he could have let Amalthea give birth himself, without having to resort to such extreme means.

Eros is a little worried about this thing, so he will go back and show it to Zeus for evaluation.

If the almighty Zeus could defeat the three gods, then Eros thought it was not impossible to give it a try.

If not, just pretend he never said that.

[Your relationship with the goat goddess Amalthea has reached Friends or above, and you can use the Fire Breeder skill. ]

[You have acquired the skill of [Lactation Massage].]

What a great skill! No wonder Amalthea is so skilled, it turns out she knows this trick.

Eros sometimes felt like a cow on a pasture, being milked dry by Amalthea.

【Father as a mountain】

You have finally entered a new stage in your life, but for a scumbag like you, can a child become a hindrance to your progress?

Effect: Your children are more likely to express their true feelings in front of you and show their true inner thoughts.

When Eros first saw this name, he was shocked.

Fortunately, it’s just a normal useless skill.

However, this time, the only useful skills are those that provide emotional bonuses, while the others are useless.

But then again, there isn't even any fighting part this time, it's all things that can be done with just charm.

After counting the harvest, Eros straightened his clothes and walked out of the quiet room.

At this moment, the sky was bright and the priestesses in the temple were walking in a hurry.

They were probably all busy taking care of and settling Europa. Zeus gave an oracle and they all became busy.

Europa, now pregnant with the Son of God, was the top priority in their eyes.

Eros, on the other hand, had the illusion that he had used it up and was no longer useful.

But this is okay, Eros just needs to wander around and change his mood.

After thinking about the fact that he had not shown up in the past few days, he went to find Prometheus and the others first.

When Eros found them, Prometheus was carrying bricks with Cecrops.

That’s right, literally moving bricks.

When Eros arrived, the two of them were cutting marble and limestone to be shipped back.

In order to build a palace for Europa and the future king of Crete, the priests recruited all the free people on the island.

But in order to speed up the work, they also hired Prometheus and her crew who came from afar.

Prometheus' life experience is indeed very down-to-earth, even civil engineering is included.

But this is normal. Greek ships are generally merchant ships, pirates and mercenaries.

Highlight a person who holds multiple positions and does everything.

But you know what, Prometheus has a lot of experience in construction. Cecrops used bronze wedges to drive into the points marked by Prometheus, splitting the huge stone into appropriate sizes.

Only after Eros came closer did Prometheus stop directing.

"Hmm? Are you done with your work?"

Looking at Prometheus who had abandoned him alone, Eros said unhappily.

"Definitely not yet. But you, it seems like you have had a very fulfilling few days."

I have become a civil engineer, how can my life not be fulfilling?
"This is your family affair, so as an outsider, I must avoid suspicion."

Prometheus felt no remorse for leaving Eros there alone.

"As for a fulfilling life? Not bad, mainly waiting for you. When are you ready to return to the Ocean Throne?"

Even if Prometheus didn't know it from Eros in advance, he could still see some fragments of the future and know what Eros would do next.

"Well, let's stay in Crete for the time being."

After making all the necessary preparations with Poseidon and before coming to the Abyss, Eros had no plans to go back for the time being.

Returning to the city of the Abyss, it was nothing more than spending more time with Amphitrite.

Instead of delaying her practice and training, it would be better for her to stay in Crete and take care of the fragile Europa.

He just got her pregnant and then ran away. This is really a bit of a scumbag.

"That's right. After all, we have to welcome the birth of the King of Crete next, right?"

Prometheus said lightly.

She didn't want to guess what kind of twisted and complicated relationship existed between Eros, Zeus and Europa.

She only knew that Europa would give birth to an important child, who, although not a hero worthy of legend, would be an excellent prologue.

"What are you talking about?"

While the two were talking, Cecrops came over carrying a huge stone in one hand.

Cecrops seemed very happy to see Eros again after several days.

The cobra-like fleshy wings on both sides were stretched out, giving a weird feeling.

"Nothing, just talking about the King of Crete who is to be born."

Prometheus smiled and answered her question.

"Aren't we doing something about each other right now? Building a palace for the King of Crete."

"I guess we'll have to build city-states next. This island is quite large, so we can probably build four or five city-states."

The original relatively crude and shallow human settlements were all to be drastically modified and built into more suitable city-states.

Centralized kingdoms would also begin to emerge on the originally loose island of Crete.

But for Cecrops, these were just half of his understanding.

"Oh, that sounds like trouble."

"Isn't there a goddess on the island? Can't something like this be established with just a wave of the hand?"

Cecrops asked his own question.

These days, she saw humans working hard under the scorching sun and couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Obviously, the gods have a more convenient and faster way, so why do they still need so many humans to work so hard?
"Because God is deliberately downplaying his influence on these things, at least on the surface."

Without Prometheus's answer, Eros looked at the stone quarry and said.

"God can indeed do many things, allowing humans to live without worries and without any labor or sacrifice."

"But if that's the case, what's the point of human existence?"

Is it worth it to continue living a life that requires constant hard work and endless effort?
Isn’t it nice to live a comfortable and leisurely life under God’s protection?

In the end, this problem will evolve into a question of field and angle.

Most wise men among mankind admire the Golden Age, a time when the world was rich in resources.

Moreover, golden humans are born with wisdom that is perfect and free of desires, as well as strength and longevity.

Their lives are undoubtedly happy for today's human beings.

But what about God, or from the perspective of individual humans?
No desires, no demands, great wisdom, great strength, no illness and no pain.

Golden humans are indeed perfect and the closest to God's creation.

But that is why they are failures.

The world needs motivation, and people need motivation too. What gives life motivation is often pain and defects.

Because they don't want to be torn apart, antelopes avoid being chased by cheetahs and develop their extreme speed.

The same is true for humans.

Perfect golden humans do not need to do anything, nor do they need to learn or grow. They will look calmly at even their own destruction and death.

Just like their successors, the Silver Humans.

Ordinary humans, who are full of defects and find survival difficult, have many motivations and emotions.

And this is also the picture that Eros and Zeus want to see.

The collision of various emotions and entanglements between people, and the interweaving of ambitions and dreams will give birth to infinite possibilities.

The previous drama that was so boring that it was almost unbearable to watch is finally coming to an end. What is about to take place next is the real stage of destiny.

Who will be the brightest star?
