Ares, God of War

But what Ares wants is this effect, and what Athena wants is this gamble.

So he stabilized his foot, deliberately stood in place, and even charged as much energy as possible for a second.

A golden beam of light burst out from under Ares' feet, submerging his body in it, and because of this blow, Ares also deliberately shot the arrow that he shot at Athena's chest. A little exaggeratedly raised, so the arrow brushed the shoulder of the Goddess of Wisdom and flew far away, cutting a large piece of sea water in the Mediterranean Sea, and then suddenly planted on the bay along the coast, where a flower was set off. A huge fire cloud visible to the naked eye.

In the golden light, Ares felt the severe pain spreading all over his body, and he uttered a terrible cry of pain without hesitation.

[Thanks to Athena for the magic. 】

While consciousness gradually dissipated under the blow of the spell, the last thought flashed through Ares' mind.

Chapter 12. Athena, you are so powerful

When Ares woke up again, he was already lying in his temple.

His younger sister, Hebe, the goddess of youth, was looking after him. When Ares woke up, she said in surprise:

"Ares, are you finally awake?"

Ares lay on the bed in the temple, thought for a while, and then asked, "Where's Athena?"

"In the palace of the king of gods, Zeus ordered Prometheus and his younger brother Epimetheus to manage the earth instead of him, and Athena has officially completed the handover with Prometheus, taking over his position as the God of Wisdom After Hebe finished speaking, he glanced at him cautiously, and then said softly: "Ares, don't be angry, Zeus has judged that she won the duel between you and Athena, and she won the military strategy and victory priesthood."

When Ares heard this, he was so happy that he wanted to laugh out loud, but on the surface he had to show an aggrieved look in front of his sister.

Seeing Ares' terrifying face, Heber was afraid that he would fight Athena again when he got up, so he hurriedly persuaded him: "Don't get excited, Ares! Olympians! It’s not just that you lost to her. In fact, after that, Athena competed with Apollo in medicine and music, with Demeter in farming, and with Poseidon in running on the sea. She won all these main gods So you don’t feel ashamed when you lose to her, no shame.”

"How did she win?" Ares asked after hearing the words.

Hebe then told Ares the process of Athena's competition with the gods in detail.

The goddess first competed with Demeter. The aunt of Ares used her divine power to directly let the crops on a piece of land take root and germinate, the fruit trees in the orchard bear a lot of fruit, and the ears of wheat in the field Become as heavy as gold.

However, after watching Demeter's performance, Athena used her wisdom to analyze the law of germination of these crops, the water and fertilizer needed for growth, and the climate and soil suitable for growth, etc., and based on this Many farming methods to increase production have been created from scratch.

Because Demeter's theocracy is just a manifestation of her divine power, even Demeter can't repeatedly display her divine power to make the orchards and farmlands of the gods harvest forever, but Athena's farming methods can provide a good harvest for the gods. Used by orchard and field managers to help them increase yields forever.

Therefore, Zeus judged that Athena was better than Demeter, and could share part of the agricultural priesthood from the goddess of agriculture.

After that, Athena won the competition with Poseidon and Apollo one after another. She used her wisdom to create a carriage, a bridle, and a ship. She rode the wind and waves on the sea and defeated Poseidon. Medically and musically, she also convinced Apollo by inventing new medical techniques and musical instruments.

After listening to Heber's narration, Ares also had some concerns in his heart.

Demeter, the god of agriculture, and Poseidon, the king of the sea, should be really inferior to others. With the personalities of these two gods, it is impossible to be willing to be inferior to others, and Apollo's loss is more subtle, because the previous beheading Ares and Apollo have a good relationship because they killed the giant snake Pitong and saved the goddess Leto, and they often hear the performance of this god of music, which is not a level that can be surpassed by wisdom alone. .

This God of Light should have seen something from Zeus's actions, so he deliberately lost to Athena, not to be that early bird.

And after hearing Athena's glorious record, Ares couldn't help but praise in his heart:

[Great, Athena, you are so powerful! 】

The stronger the goddess, the better for him, he wished that the light of this goddess could overwhelm all of them, so that Zeus could only focus on Athena alone, and under the light of this goddess , In the shadow of the twelve gods, Ares can let go of his hands and feet and carry out his own life-threatening plan.

Thinking of this, Ares felt that the time for the next step was ripe, so he said to his sister:

"Hebe! Help me up!"

"Ah? Ares, but Apollo said that your injury has not fully healed..."

"Don't talk so much, just help me up!"

Under the strong request of Ares, the goddess of youth, Hebe, could only obediently obey. She helped her brother's strong body, and then helped him, step by step, to the outside of Zeus's god-king palace.

Generally speaking, without the permission of Zeus, other gods are not allowed to enter the Temple of Gods to disturb the king of the gods, but Ares is one of the twelve great gods of Mount Olympus and the son of Zeus. , this privilege is still there.

Seeing him being supported by the Goddess of Youth, Hebe, the Olympus guards guarding the entrance of the God King Hall did not dare to stop him, allowing the angry God of War to walk into the God King Hall.

As soon as he entered the Temple of the King of Gods, Ares saw that most of the twelve gods gathered here. In addition, there were also important gods other than the twelve gods, such as Leto and Themis. Athena, the brightest star in the world, stands on the position of the god of wisdom where Prometheus originally stood.

A group of gods surrounded the astrolabe in the center of the God King's Palace, which showed the appearance of the earth. Before Ares arrived, they should be discussing some important matters.

But this has nothing to do with Ares. As soon as he entered the door, he cast his angry eyes on the goddess of wisdom.

"A-then-na!"

He let out a roar that shook the sky, and then walked towards Athena step by step. His posture seemed as if he still wanted to fight with the goddess of wisdom before giving up.

"Ares!" Seeing him like this, Zeus patted the astrolabe in front of him with some displeasure, and he scolded: "You have already lost to Athena, and you are willing to bet and admit defeat. What do you want to do now? , as my son, can't you even admit your failure?!"

"I didn't!" Ares yelled at his old father in a rough voice, then widened his eyes, looked at Athena, and asked, "What was your last move to defeat me?"

"This." The goddess of wisdom smiled awkwardly, and replied: "It's a spell, a kind of magic. I learned it from my mother. In fact, you are also very strong, Ares. I almost lost in the end." , really, it was just luck that I won..."

She seemed to want to try to ease the relationship with Ares, her brother, but Ares didn't mean to listen at all. After hearing that Athena had said what he wanted to hear, he waved his hand and said fiercely:

"You've won this time! But...Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, don't think you can win every time!"

Then, he looked at Zeus and shouted: "Zeus, in order to defeat Athena, I also want to learn magic!"

Chapter 13. If I knew magic, would I still be like this bird?

"What? You want to learn magic too?"

After hearing Ares' words, the gods of Olympus were shocked.

In the impression of the gods, Ares, the god of war, is definitely the god who has the least relationship with magic, a technology that must be linked to wisdom. He has always been synonymous with rudeness and brainlessness. Arnold Schwarzenegger suddenly announced in public one day that he was going to become a magical girl.

"What's the matter? What's the matter?" Seeing the reactions of the gods, Ares widened his eyes: "I am a main god, so I am not worthy of learning magic?"
