Mythology: Spiritual Ruler

When the dispute on earth ended, Gaia went to the underworld, and the gods returned to where they came from.

Flying in the sky until landing on Mount Olympus, the atmosphere among the gods was a little strange.

After many twists and turns, they first besieged the God King with great complacency, and then were suppressed. Then they thought they were doomed to fail, and the sun fell into the mortal world again. In the end, before they had time to be happy, the sun was pressed into the ocean.

To this day, the Ocean God is in a coma, and the whereabouts of the ancient sun god are unknown.

In the end, the invincible God King left for unknown reasons, and before leaving, he also made a throne and established connections with three gods.

The throne of the God King cannot be shared, so they must at least distinguish between the primary and the secondary. So the atmosphere was so subtle that the gods didn't even have time to pay attention to the surface spiritual world that had just opened to the world.

"Everyone," finally, in front of Mount Olympus, for some reason, Zeus looked around: "The most difficult period has passed, and we have achieved the final victory."

"But before celebrating, I think everyone needs to rest for a while, and I also want to talk to Metis about what happened today. I think this is also the common idea of ​​everyone."

The gods nodded one after another after hearing this. After experiencing the previous changes, they now feel a little tired from the bottom of their hearts.

Moreover, they also guessed that the three brothers of Zeus might privately discuss matters related to the position of the king of gods.

"Go, Zeus, I also need to take care of your adoptive father."

Helping the Ocean God who has not woken up yet, the goddess of water emphasized the word "adoptive father".

"The celebration banquet will be held after everyone recovers. I think you brothers must have something to say."

With an unchanged expression, Zeus nodded, and then said goodbye to the gods present one by one. They all have their own palaces on Mount Olympus, so naturally there is no need to make any arrangements. In the end, only the three brothers of Zeus who participated in the battle and their sister Hestia were left.

Without much communication, the four looked at each other and returned directly to the temple on the top of the mountain. At the door, a god was waiting there.

That was Zeus' wife Metis. As for his other two sisters, Demeter and Hera, they were far from being able to fight, so they stayed on the sea.

This god who was not good at fighting but had a special status did not participate in the siege of the mountain, but she still saw the vision between heaven and earth before.

"Zeus, how is it, have you become the king of gods?"

Take a few steps quickly, and the black-haired and beautiful goddess came first. She didn't pay attention to other things, but asked the most critical question directly.

Although Metis was also shocked by Kronos's power, and even had some secret doubts about it, when the last trace of the power of the king of gods left the second-generation king of gods, the laws of the world had changed. It's just that perhaps because the new king has not yet taken office, this change has not yet taken effect completely.

Therefore, whether they participated in the war or not, the gods knew that the previous king of gods was gone.

".Not yet,"

After a moment of silence, Zeus knew that Metis had definitely seen the awkward atmosphere between the brothers. She still asked at this moment, of course, not just to get an answer.

She was hinting that Zeus was popular, and the vast majority of gods still supported him, and reminded him that such things should be resolved quickly, and not wait until the gods gathered to decide.

A king chosen by others is not more authoritative than one who decides by himself.

"Metis, the father has abdicated, but the new king has not yet been decided."

Although he knew that this possibility was not very high, Zeus still said:

"But if no one objects to me-"

"Wait!"

Before he finished speaking, as expected, Poseidon on the side interrupted.

"Now the throne of the king of gods is related to the three of us, Zeus, I think there is still room for discussion."

"Hades, what do you think?" Without answering immediately, Zeus looked at his other brother.

In the past, Hades had never expressed any objection to most of his opinions, and Zeus hoped that this time would be the same. But the result disappointed him. Although Hades was not as fierce as Poseidon, he still expressed his opinions tactfully.

"Let's not talk about the throne for now. But Zeus, the past of the father god and his brothers really worries me."

The future Hades didn't think he could become the king of gods. The status of the underworld in the world was embarrassing, or in other words, the existence of the underworld itself was embarrassing.

The bodies of the four original gods surrounded there. Although there was a special environment that was almost a world of its own, whether it was the underworld moon or the river of oath, their owners were powerful gods, not inferior to him.

But whether he felt it or not, Hades did not rule out fighting for some benefits for himself.

They all saw how Kronos treated the sun god and the two sea gods. Who knows what Zeus will do in the future for his own power.

The god of the underworld was indeed taciturn, but he also knew that now was the time when his brothers were the weakest. If Zeus is unwilling to give his two brothers anything now, then it is obvious what the future will be like.

At least, the other party should give him an attitude that can reassure him.

"But you all know very well that no matter my role in overthrowing the Father God's rule or the prophecy left by the Father, I am the new God King, and this is indisputable."

Giving up his fluke mentality, Zeus finally became serious. Besides replacing "curse" with "prophecy", what he said was indeed true.

"Ahem——"

The eldest sister of Zeus and his companions, Hestia, the goddess of fire and protection, coughed lightly. The battle that ended before had already made her extremely tired. After all, although she could not threaten the God King, she had been using her authority to increase the protection of the gods.

But now, facing the dispute between her two younger brothers, she still forced herself to cheer up. At this time, the fight between their brothers was not appropriate.

"Poseidon, what Zeus said makes sense. In terms of merit, he is indeed more suitable to be the God King."

"I don't think you need to argue about this. Even if he gives up the throne, the sea gods will not accept you as the God King."

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, Poseidon still had some respect for his eldest sister. And she was right. Most of the gods in the starry sky were neutral. Those who really stood on Zeus' side were actually basically the gods under the two sea masters.

Therefore, it is obvious whether they will accept another god who can be regarded as the god of the sea as the king of gods.

But he will not give up for this. Poseidon turned and looked at Zeus. Perhaps the position of the king of gods was too tempting. He unexpectedly grasped the loophole in Zeus' words accurately.

"Yes, prophecy, let's not talk about whether it is a prophecy or a curse. Can the words of the previous generation of kings of gods also be the basis for your succession?"

"Uranus was unanimously overthrown by the gods. If what he said can also be used as a basis, then it proves that the gods in the past were all wrong?"

With his eyes narrowed, Zeus did not expect that his brother, who had never been very smart, would speak sharply. From the perspective of the world, the curse left by the god-given generation of kings of gods can give Zeus legitimacy, but from the perspective of the gods, he really cannot ascend to the throne on this basis.

"What did you do, Poseidon? Have you forgotten that I rescued you from the Father's womb?"

"If you still have some dignity as a god, you shouldn't talk like this in front of me!"

The voice was cold. Although Poseidon's power had increased due to the changes in the world's climate, he was still no match for Zeus.

The Cyclops were indeed excellent craftsmen. Perhaps when facing great divine power, the [Thunder Arrow] was not so useful, but if the opponent was Poseidon, Zeus could let him use one hand.

It was enough for him to just hold the artifact.
