Greece: Zeus made me the queen of heaven?

Chapter 291 Sacrifice
The act of sacrifice has a give and take approach.

After each sacrifice, the slaughtered animals would be given the name given by God and distributed to the priests and the blessed believers.

Some more perverted ones, such as Ares's followers, would even...
However, some of them involve the scope of r18g, so I will not go into details here.

But one thing is certain, the gods take a part of the sacrifices offered by humans and give a part back, this is the normal process of establishing a covenant between humans and gods.

It would be wrong to eat a little of it all without giving any feedback.

That's called a fairy, not a goddess.

Humans cut the sacred cow used as a sacrifice into pieces so cleanly, with meat, fat and internal organs on one side and bones on the other.

Eros took one look and his eyes twitched.

There is no one instructing here, and Eros is not trustworthy at all.

And according to the story, shouldn't Prometheus have switched the two sides using a sleight of hand?

How could it be put on the table like this? How could he choose?
Facing the gazes of Zeus and other goddesses, Eros remained silent.

This matter is naturally not as simple as choosing a pile of meat or a pile of bones.

This was a sacrifice to establish a covenant between man and god. If the god took away the richer meat and fat, it symbolized that the gods would take away most of the harvest of mankind.

As for humans, only debris and bones are left as their only remaining harvest.

So this is not an option, but if he chooses a pile of bones, then Eros has to think about how to explain it.

After thinking for a while, Eros formed his words and began to speak.

"Why ask me about this? I'm sure His Majesty the Divine King has already made up his mind."

Putting the blame on himself, Eros thought that this must be another arrangement by Zeus.

Since you don't feel comfortable asking to do it yourself, you want him to do it, right?
"It doesn't matter what I think. This is a sacrifice offered by humans. It is up to humans to decide what to offer."

Zeus smiled and threw the pot back.

"You are the father of all mankind. It is you who should choose."

Well, it seems that Zeus is determined to let Eros show his presence and achievements, so Eros had no choice but to speak up.

"In that case, let me speculate a little. I guess the sacrifice that His Majesty the Divine King likes is this cow bone, right?"

Eros stacked up a wave of armor before speaking.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Poseidon couldn't wait to jump out and pick on him.

"Using a pile of bones as a sacrifice? Is this how you fool the gods?"

This Poseidon is really jumping. I don’t know what medicine he took wrong. He was obviously so timid before.

Eros secretly took note of Poseidon in his heart. When this matter was over, he would definitely give Poseidon his favorite slap in the face in private.

Fortunately, Eros had already thought of a reason, and he calmly reached out and picked up the huge bull horn.

The horns taken from this sturdy sacred bull are as smooth and beautiful as jade.

"Sea King, you are joking. Bones and horns are more suitable sacrifices to the gods than flesh and blood."

After showing the beautiful horns to the gods, Eros pointed to the meat and fat on the side.

"Does the Sea King think that this ugly pile of flesh and fat is more worthy of the greatness of the gods?"

"Flesh and blood will decay, but bones and horns will not. They symbolize the immortal gods and are a symbol of nobility and greatness."

Although the bones were dull and white, they did look more pleasing to the eye compared to the pile of flesh and blood and internal organs.

Eros' words pleased all the goddesses, although at first they also felt that a pile of bones was too embarrassing.

But when Eros said this, he instantly felt that this was the right sacrifice.

It turns out that the gods don't care about the value of human sacrifices or which one is better. They only care about face and dignity.

Eros gave a good answer, so they naturally accepted it.

"Your Majesty, I wonder if what I said is right?"

Eros put down his horns and turned to look at Zeus.

"Well, what you said is correct."

Zeus looked at him and smiled gently.

At times like this, Eros would still cooperate with her.

But the sight of the two smiling at each other almost made Hera blush, feeling both resentful and sad.

She's still sitting here! Is she gradually becoming more upright?
Although she was extremely angry and her face was stiff and ugly, Hera did not lose her temper in the end.

This was the first time Zeus had convened such a grand event, and she couldn't ruin everything at this time.

After all, she loved Zeus deeply.

Of course, Eros was not really flirting with Zeus, he was just comparing answers with Zeus.

When their eyes met, Eros naturally knew that what he said was correct.

Zeus is trying to increase his fame and achievements so as to facilitate the next operation.

The selection of the referee just now and the selection of the sacrifice now are both to help Eros quickly gain popularity.

After all, his previous fame was just a rumored role, and many goddesses only saw Eros in person this time.

If Eros doesn't show his ability, how can Zeus bring him to Mount Olympus?

Eros even suspected that Themis' proposal to let him compete with the gods was for this purpose.

The better he performs, the easier it will be for Zeus to operate later.

It can only be said that Zeus's moral standards are still too high. If she had learned from Uranus or Gaia and made Olympus the only one with the final say, there wouldn't be so many problems.

What’s even more interesting is that Zeus clearly has the ability to do so, but he doesn’t do it, or rarely does it.

The dictator does not want to be a dictator, but instead chooses to implement democracy, which is quite similar to Batman's insistence on the principle of not killing.

Zeus reached out and took the cow bones that were used as sacrifice. The originally pure white cow bones were as crystal clear as jade in her hands.

"This is the covenant between gods and humans that we, the gods, have made in the new era."

"This immortal bone shall stand as a token until the end of this age."

The translucent cow bones like jade were broken up by Zeus and flew into the hands of every goddess present.

"Since the covenant between man and god has been made, it should be kept."

“Whether it is a human or a god, praying to a god requires offering precious sacrifices, and once the god accepts the sacrifice, he must not break his promise.”

This was the first decision Zeus had made since this gathering, using his authority as the King of Gods.

Her expression was solemn, and she picked up the jade bone very seriously, showing it to the gods.

It is a symbol of a new era, radically different from all that came before it.

Naturally, no one among the gods dared to contradict Zeus at this moment. Not even one opened their mouth, and they all responded in unison.

"Very good, since this matter has been settled, I will not say any more."

"Next, let us witness together the human beings of this new era."
