Ares, God of War

Relying that Kratos is not here, Ares brazenly brags to Gilgamesh:

"However, it is a pity that although your combat power is only one and a half dollars now, in the entire world of Mesopotamia, there are no humans or demigods who can compete with you. If you want to find a stepping stone, you need You can only go to the patron saints of other city-states."

"On the current land, except for this king, it is indeed a group of bastards."

Gilgamesh nodded in agreement:

"But if you want to kill the patron saints of other city-states, this king will definitely be targeted by the gods. Isn't it time to confront them head-on?"

"Yes, in the future I will create opportunities for you to step on other stepping stones, but now if you want to break through, you can only use the latter method."

With his back to Gilgamesh, Ares had a sly smile on his lips.

"The latter method, forbidden things?" Gilgamesh asked again: "Forbidden things...what do you mean? Could it be that you want me to do some shameful mysterious magic rituals?"

"Wrong, the so-called taboo things refer to all exciting things that you have never experienced! For example, things between men and women!"

Ares turned his head, grinned at Gilgamesh, and said firmly.

"A matter between men and women?" Gilgamesh fell into deep surprise and shock after hearing this sentence: "Can feeling this kind of thing make me stronger?"

"That's right!" Ares said loudly: "To become stronger, you must eat the forbidden fruit! If you want to become stronger! Then you must keep eating the forbidden fruit!"

His words were filled with the aura of a strong man, which immediately frightened Gilgamesh.

"Eat the forbidden fruit, eat the forbidden fruit... I understand!"

Gilgamesh stood up suddenly from the throne, and Ares saw his muscles tense with excitement.

"It seems that you have understood something, just go ahead and do it, Gilgamesh!"

Ares said lightly to him:

"I will go to the sky to have a banquet first, and then I will attack the underworld. After I occupy the underworld, I will come back to test your strength. At that time, I hope you will not let me down, my dear apprentice!"

Chapter 42. The Feast of the Gods

Fooling Gilgamesh to eat the forbidden fruit, Ares certainly had other considerations.

The lower limit of Gilgamesh's own strength was raised infinitely manually by the gods. As a price, his upper limit of strength was limited. Unless he changed his body and started a new life, it would be difficult for his upper limit of strength to be raised again. of.

Eating the forbidden fruit, looking for stepping stones, may allow him to tap his potential to the end, but that's it.

He can't break through his own limit, which is also an insurance set by the gods in advance. After all, he is a tool of the gods, and tools cannot have the power to resist the will of the gods.

If Ares' body is here, he can use the atomic manipulation that can only be mastered by a strong magnetic field with more than [-] horses, directly deconstruct Gilgamesh's body in situ, and reshape him again, but it is very difficult. It's a pity that what he has here is just a clone, and now he only has about [-] horsepower to rotate the magnetic field, so he can't do that kind of thing.

Excessive heart but insufficient strength.

However, with Ares' thinking and methods, he has always been willing to change his thinking and thinking, so he prepared another path for Gilgamesh, which is to use external force and human power.

This is a new result obtained by Ares after he won the victory and analyzed the core of the Olympus pantheon together with Hecate, the composition and function of the Olympian flame.

In the age of the gods, although the tyranny of the gods themselves determined everything, it cannot be denied that the belief in the gods by humans and all things will strengthen their power to a certain extent. The power of the Lympus holy fire, and the holy fire will turn faith into power according to the share of each godhead connected with it, and distribute it to each god.

This is not so obvious in Greece. After all, the previous generation of Greek gods were semi-mechanical life forms born from the self-decomposition of aliens. The influence of the gods is reflected even more strongly.

In history, the change of the god-king of the Sumerian gods from Enlil to Marduk was largely due to the transfer of the political center of Mesopotamia to Babylon. The establishment of the Babylonian dynasty made Marduk's faith surpassed Enlil's, and eventually surpassed the spiritual master in power.

Therefore, after exercising his own strength in a short period of time was useless, Ares decided to tailor a corresponding strengthening method for Gilgamesh.

Since he is the king of Uruk, it is reasonable to bear the wishes of the people of Uruk.

But this step requires the cooperation of the people, and Ares's technique is not yet perfect. On average, he can find a dark corner to contact Hecate and Athena once in a month or two. The weaving speed of this technique also becomes very slow.

Since the human heart is used as a power to strengthen oneself, the people of Uruk had lower expectations of Gilgamesh himself before undertaking this spell.

Moreover, Gilgamesh has another identity. He is the spokesperson of the gods. When Gilgamesh ravaged Uruk as a tyrant, he was actually trampling on the belief and trust of the Uruk people in the gods.

This is also the choice he made in the original Epic of Gilgamesh. At that time, Gilgamesh also saw this, so he ruled Uruk as a tyrant until Enki who persuaded him all come.

What's more, the trick of eating the forbidden fruit is not useless. The breakthrough of power is often affected by obsession. If an obsession is eliminated, there is a high probability that it can stimulate the power in Gilgamesh. Make his divine power stronger.

Everything is the same. From this point of view, Ares is actually the same. He also wants to eat the forbidden fruit, but Hecate is too shy.

Alas, I don't know when this marathon will end...

Thinking of this incident, Ares couldn't help but feel a little melancholy. He sighed, and the souls of Goddess Ningsun and Lugalbanda who were walking in front of him suddenly turned around strangely. Goddess Ningsun asked him :

"Nergal, what are you sighing for?"

Naturally, it was impossible for Gilgamesh to tell her that he was worried about major events in his life, but he was already used to telling lies out of his mouth, so he sighed and replied:

"I'm worried about Gilgamesh. He just took the throne, and I don't know where he will take Uruk."

When Goddess Ningsun heard the words, she immediately looked at her husband Lugalbanda and smiled, both of them looked a little moved.

"Nergal, you have been teaching Jill all these years, and raised him into an excellent and responsible young man. I believe that under your teaching, he will definitely become an excellent king."

Lugalbanda spoke sincerely to Ares.

"Yes."

Goddess Ningsun agreed:

"Jill is very sensible and mature. After we are all gone, he will definitely become a wise king himself."

"maybe."
