Mythology: Spiritual Ruler

Chapter 449 Fame

Giving up the chance to leave and choosing to stay, Achilles not only wanted to challenge the gods, but also didn't want Chiron to stay here.

After all, despite how smooth the Centaur said before, both of them knew that even if there was no guard here, it would still be difficult for them to leave safely.

No one knew when the gods would find out that Achilles had escaped, maybe one day, maybe just a moment.

And once he was discovered, he might still have his indestructible body to rely on, and Chiron might not be able to leave.

In this case, it's better to let the teacher leave first.

It's enough to leave him alone as the protagonist of this drama.

"Nonsense, Achilles, where do you think this place is, and who do you think the God King is?"

"Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you've learned some skills. There are so many more powerful beings in this world than you. If the God King is angry, you will never survive-"

"-But teacher, if Zeus is really so powerful, then why can you come here safely, on Mount Olympus, in his domain?"

Achilles spoke in a deep voice and looked in the direction Chiron came from before.

"You once told me about the power of the original gods, but if this is true, then I would never leave, because such a powerful god would not be blind to what is in front of him. And if this is false, then let me expose his powerful lies."

"No matter what the result is, I don't regret it. Besides, if I can't even defeat the God King who has been replaced twice, how can I overturn the fate of "dying in war"? "

Silently, Achilles' last words touched Chiron.

Yes, he almost forgot that his student was carrying such a prophecy, and that was why the Centaur let him leave.

Moreover, at this moment, Chiron himself was also a little shaken.

During the Battle of Typhon, he avoided the disaster in Silvermoon City and did not see the battle between the God King and the Ancestor of All Monsters.

But as early as the turning point of the Second Era, he had personally witnessed the great power of the previous God King.

Even if it was from the east to the west of the continent, it was only one step.

From the starry sky to the sea, it was just a matter of turning the palm.

In front of such an existence, he actually entered the God Mountain safely, which was originally unreasonable.

But perhaps because he was too worried about his students, he did not realize this before.

"...Maybe you are right, Achilles. If you want to break your fate, you need the courage to face death."

"Maybe this is your chance. Ha, in that case, you should make good use of this sword."

"The person who gave it to me told me that this sword is destined to come to the world for a while at the end of this era. This belongs to it and to the fate of the sun, but its real owner may not be you."

"So if one day you think someone needs it more, don't hesitate and follow the result you want."

Seeing that Achilles had made up his mind, Chiron finally just sighed.

It is certainly not a good thing to be young and arrogant and not know the height of the world.

After all, he did not know how to be awed when he became famous at a young age, and he did not know where the real power in this world was.

But think about it seriously, even if the former gods ruled the sun, moon and stars and possessed the strongest power in the world, did they overcome fate and reverse the result of failure?

I am afraid not, and they all lost miserably.

Even if the gods are immortal, what is the difference between their end and death?

One has disappeared, and the other is still hanging in the sky, looking down on the people in the world in deep sleep.

The king of gods is like this, let alone Achilles.

If the existing methods cannot fight against the destined death, it is better to let him go in the direction he wants.

After all, I can save him from the sacred mountain, but there is no way to change his fate.

This step can only be taken by himself.

"I have had many students, but now think about it, they actually all died along the path they chose."

"You are not the first... but I hope you are different from them."

"Of course, I will, teacher."

"Maybe war is my disaster, just like Ares' oath."

"He said in person that only one of him and I can survive."

Touching the stone box in front of him, the young hero said slowly: "He is right."

"Just as the prophecy says."

"Between me and 'War', only you die and I live."

·······

Along the narrow road, Chiron finally left Olympus again.

The Centaur's mood was a bit complicated, but he was also somewhat relieved.

But in addition to this, the doubts in his heart gradually surfaced in his mind.

Before, Chiron ran around and didn't think about it carefully.

But now that he thinks about it, Achilles actually makes sense.

The secret passage connecting the inside and outside of the sacred mountain was built by the sun god, and it was no problem for him to hide it from other gods.

But the question is, as the king of gods who are rumored to have achieved great divine power, as the master of Mount Olympus, Zeus actually knows nothing about this?

Chiron didn't know the answer, but he didn't know if it was a psychological effect. When he thought of this, he always felt that someone was staring at him.

But maybe he was overthinking it. After all, even if Zeus really found out, he couldn't sense the other party's gaze.

...

"Okay, stop looking, he's gone."

"Haha, I really have to say that the so-called 'witchcraft' created by Hecate is indeed magical, and her attainments in the spiritual field also surprise me."

"Even from such a distance, he can feel your gaze, and this sensing ability is far beyond the reach of many gods."

I don't know when, at the top of Mount Olympus, in another space overlapping and interlaced with the Golden Palace.

The blond and handsome god drank the wine, holding a moving beauty in his arms.

In front of the two, the void was slightly rippled, and everything in the Temple of the Sun was so clearly visible.

There is no doubt that no one except Zeus can watch the sacred mountain so casually in the Asgard domain.

And the reason why he appeared here is also very simple. Since there is no need to worry about Hercules' affairs for the time being, and the battle between the God Court and Athens has just started, as the king of gods, he does not need to stay in the sacred mountain and go anywhere else.

And just as Achilles said, since there is no way to hide things from the Lord of the Spirit World in the Spirit World, and there is no way to hide things from Erebus in the Lightless Realm, then there should be no way to hide things from Zeus on Mount Olympus.

Moreover, even if we take a step back, Ares's act of stealing the power of thunder during the day is enough to attract the attention of the God King.

If he didn't acquiesce, even if the God of War was his offspring, he would never be able to use the power of thunder and lightning.

Even in the records of later myths, only Hera could let dark clouds and thunder accompany her when she traveled, as for Ares...

This waste, is he worthy?

"Haha, it's interesting to talk about it. After all, Clymene...his doubts are reasonable."

"As the king of gods, I actually acquiesced to the existence of such a secret passage on the sacred mountain - and you should be very surprised, because how did he know this secret passage?"

"Logically speaking, no one should know about this place except you and Helios...Don't look at me, I didn't reveal this."

Smiling and talking to the beauty in his arms, Zeus seemed not to see her changing expression.

He acquiesced to the existence of this secret passage. On the one hand, it was natural that knowing the 'secret passage' was the 'open passage', and on the other hand, it was naturally because of this beauty.

Since Helios sealed the starry sky, the goddess of fame who lost her lover did not hesitate to change her target.

To this day, Zeus still remembers this woman crying in front of him about her miserable experience, telling how the god of speech was useless, and Helios deceived her feelings again.

For this matter, she asked the king of gods to help confirm whether she was not contaminated by the power of the mother tree, and Zeus agreed.

Then, just like many times in the past, after confirming, the two rolled onto the bed.

"It's Iapetus, only him!"

Clymene gritted her teeth slightly, ignoring Zeus's teasing, and instantly grasped the key point of the matter.

So that's why the God of Speech has always ignored her and treated her like a clown.

Damn, isn't it because of you that I'm here today?

As the goddess of fame, it's an instinct driven by the priesthood to desire a higher status and power.

You should understand me, instead of blaming me after letting me go!

If you weren't so unknown, how could I have come to this point today... I did this, mostly because of you.

"Your Majesty, this is an offense and contempt to you. Humans and gods like this should be sentenced to death so that the world can respect your authority."

Word by word, although he is a nominal husband, Clymene seems to be facing an enemy, or a stain on her divine life.

Since you want to live in seclusion, just stay there for the rest of your life. Why do you want to come out?

It's fine if you come out, but why do you want to go against the King of Gods?

Clymene knew too well how ruthless Zeus was. Although he seemed to be nice to her, she could tell from the fact that he had never made their relationship public that she was nothing in his eyes.

She didn't want to be considered a traitor by Zeus... However, in the face of the goddess of fame's advice, Zeus just shook his head.

"Don't worry, I know you only have me in your heart."

"But Clymene, what they did is what I hope for."

"Achilles, the sword of the angel from the spirit world, the centaur from Silver Moon City, the sun... Do you know, I saw this sword a long time ago, at least I saw part of it."

"Do you know how I felt when I saw it at that time? You don't know."

"Fear, worry, envy, anger, helplessness... After all, at that time, I was too weak in front of the person who created this sword."

"Your Majesty, I..."

Somewhat confused, Clymene obviously couldn't keep up with Zeus's thinking.

Who can make the God King feel afraid? No, that's just before the God King touched greatness.

Everyone has a weak time, and the former God of Wind is also like this...

But Clymene didn't know what she should say, so she had to remain silent.

But she didn't realize that the words of the God King were not meant for her. Strictly speaking, in Zeus' eyes, the goddess of fame is just a decoration.

A more beautiful ornament, at most it is a little special because it is a god.

In addition, he has many more ornaments like this.

"I know he wants to overturn the sacred mountain - that's fine."

"The mountain can't fall, but everything else can be discussed."

"This mortal wants to challenge me, that's fine too."

"I will never attack him before he comes to me."

Ignoring Clymene, Zeus continued.

After hesitating for a moment, thinking he had found the right idea, Clymene asked carefully.

"...Then your majesty, are you going to give him a fatal blow when he is most proud?"

"Of course not."

Smiling again, Zeus shook his head and said casually: "If I want to kill him, why bother so much?"

"As the king of gods, all gods in this world should obey my orders. Why should I do it to a mere mortal?"

"Even if that day really comes, my messenger will naturally come forward. He will invite the "highly respected" gods in the world and suppress this mortal."

"Such a story... makes sense, right?"

Zeus's smile was very warm, but Clymene shuddered for no reason.

'Highly respected' gods...so what exactly does the king of gods plan to do?

Who does he want to invite, who does he need to invite?

Or...he just wants to see who will really come if he "invites".

Whether they come or not, this is an answer.

Although it is a forced answer, it is also a choice.

And in this land of heaven and earth, the only one who is truly qualified to force those gods to give answers, apart from the original gods, is Zeus.

"Your Majesty... is really far-sighted."

After a low compliment, Clymene felt panic at this moment, but inexplicably, she was a little excited.

Yes, that's it.

This is what she wants.
