Zeus does not want to be the king of gods in Greece

At this time, Chrisius was deeply troubled by the pressure brought by the prophecy, the fear of leaving power, and the guilt of cutting off family ties. At this time, he was very entangled, and finally at the end, he finally thought of a way to break the situation.

"Come on, let me see how strong Dana's son is? Let me see who is the one who can kill me in the prophecy."

......

"Self-fulfilling prophecy? Father, you really said an interesting thing."

On Mount Olympus, Athena was helping Zeus deal with things as usual, and when the matter at hand came to an end, during this rare time, Athena raised a question-what is fate.

Facing this problem, Zeus just gave a vocabulary called self-fulfilling prophecy.

"Athena, what is your understanding of fate?"

"That's hard to say."

For Zeus' rhetorical question, Athena also had a bit of a headache. Although she had the wisdom and theocracy instinct to give her a suitable answer, the wisdom and theocracy couldn't hold back and the restraint was too useless.

Destiny actually exists in Athena's view. For example, restraint will set anchor points at certain key points in history. As long as these anchor points exist, no matter how history develops, it will end towards that point.

This gives others a feeling that they cannot escape their "destiny" no matter what.

But the problem is...

"If the anchor points of the restraining force are the embodiment of 'fate', some parallel worlds have gotten rid of these anchor points."

Through the Divine Comedy of Wisdom, Athena naturally understands "editing matters" and "cutting matters". From the perspective of "fate", she got rid of "fate" and fell into "cutting", which shows that the "destiny" of restraint is not irresistible.

Since it can be defied, can it still be called "destiny"?

"Typhon discussed this issue with me back then, and the answer I gave her at the time was that there is no such thing as fate, but after all these years I have made a little revision to my thinking, and this is a self-fulfilling prophecy. "

"Looking at the literal meaning, it's a bit like being in a cocoon?"

"Plausible."

Zeus shook his head, the so-called cocooning is completely different from self-fulfilling prophecy.

"Athena, when did you start to understand fate?"

Zeus's question caused Athena to fall silent, because all so-called "obedience to fate" or "defying fate" has a core premise, which is to determine what "fate" is.

"Take me as an example. Before I became the God King, I was considered the Child of Destiny. My birth seemed to exist to overthrow Cronus. So who gave me the title of 'Child of Destiny'? "

"Uronus?"

Athena replied.

Athena naturally knew how her father made his fortune. Back then, Cronus usurped the position of God King. In order to avenge her unfilial son, the first generation God King Uronos cast a curse.

"You will be pushed down from the altar by your children, just like me today."

In fact, everything is just like Uronus' prophecy. Kronos, who got up early, never took this matter to heart, but as his wife Rhea became pregnant, this cursed sense of terror began to sweep over Kronos In the end, he devoured one child after another.

"No, there seems to be something wrong."

Athena began to doubt herself after finishing her answer. If it was such a simple answer, then did Zeus need to ask her like this?

"It was Cronus, grandfather Cronus who made this prophecy come true."

"It's really smart."

Zeus was very satisfied with Athena's answer. If Athena really had empathy for human beings, with this wisdom and skill, she would definitely become a better god-king than Zeus.

"The curse of the first generation of god kings is not a prophecy, but a psychological hint."

"Psychological hint? This kind of thing should be invalid for us."

Athena was puzzled, she understood that there is a small trick in magic, which is a psychological suggestion, which is usually a trick used by magicians on people who do not know magic, and it is basically useless to magicians of the same level. , not to mention that Uronos had been defeated at that time, it was impossible to plant such a hint.

"From the point of view of pure magic, it is true, but what if it is hinted in other ways? For example, long-term abuse and beating."

Uronus, as the first generation of god king, that guy can be called the crumb of the gods. Compared with him, Kronos belongs to the type of peerless king.

While setting off disasters on the earth, he also gave alms to human beings. Through repeatedly obtaining pua, he finally stimulated the suspension bridge reaction of human beings, which made these alien life forms quickly gain the belief of human beings, which is equivalent to handling a piece of earth. With the green card I got, I have a place to recuperate.

Of course, this is not because Uronos is deeply scheming and understands how to develop beliefs in a strange place, but because this is his indiscriminate tyranny, which is true for human beings who are alien races, and even more so for his own children.

If it weren't for Uronus' continuous abuse day and night, Cronus' uprising would not have received so many people's response.

"Cronus may still be afraid of his father in his heart. When Cronus was still weak, Uronus left an indelible mark on him with absolute violence, which made Cronus North dare not ignore that curse."

"It turns out that at that time, Cronus became a new generation of God King with great ambition. At that time, he was naturally not afraid of this curse, but as time went by, and with the pregnancy of Rhea, he finally... ...."

Athena calculated according to Zeus's thinking.

It is precisely because Cronus is afraid that the prophecy will come true that he wants to devour Zeus and his brothers, and how will a god who breaks the bottom line and does such a thing to his own children be viewed by other gods?

The seeds of the separation of the Twelve Titans were actually planted at that time, and it was because of this that Gaia helped adopt Zeus. Gaia also couldn't stand Cronus' behavior anymore, and as a mother, she wanted to destroy her child Everything is too cruel, this is the original meaning of Zeus.

"Cronus continues to devour children, which sends a signal that the curse of the first generation of god-kings is real, and the so-called curse is transformed into a prophecy."

Zeus sighed, in fact, he was lucky not to be eaten back then, if another brother exchanged with Zeus, then he would replace Zeus as the so-called "son of destiny".

"Does it mean that as long as Cronus is not afraid of the so-called curse, then nothing will happen?"

Athena didn't understand, but what Zeus said made sense in a sense.

If Cronus was not so afraid of the so-called curse, how could the rest of the Titans have such high confidence in Zeus at that time?

This confidence was given by Cronus, and Cronus used his fear to give courage to the rest of the gods.

In Zeus's view, Cronus is definitely the first to reward Olympus for his meritorious deeds.

"The more a person is worried about something, the easier it is to approach in that direction and confirm the prophecy he is concerned about. This is my view on the so-called 'fate', and Cronus has used similar means in on me."

Zeus said it lightly, but this scared Athena beside him into a cold sweat.

She naturally knows what the so-called same method is. When Zeus defeated Cronus, the other party definitely said similar things.

Zeus will surely die at the hands of his strongest offspring.

"Then father, you..."

"Don't worry, I didn't take it seriously. That's why I asked you how to understand 'fate'. Generally, you will fall into this situation only when someone you can't figure out tells you the so-called fate. Although I don’t think I’m that strong, Cronus should forget about it.”

Zeus waved his hand and left.

As for Cronus, he didn't leave anything that can be called a psychological shadow to Zeus, and for that old guy, Zeus wanted to raise it again.

"But when it comes to demonstrative prophecy, Dana is also suffering from it."

Zeus seemed to have thought of something.

When Dana's father Chrisius exiled Dana, he might just be worried about the shake of the royal power, but with the destruction of his palace by Zeus, under such unreasonable violent impact, that guy is very likely to destroy the "prophecy" at that time. really.

Zeus put enough pressure on him, and under this pressure, the old thing might really do something to Perseus.

Although he wasn't worried that Perseus would have an accident, if allowed, Zeus still didn't want Perseus to confront his grandfather at such a young age, or even kill him with his own hands.

......

"It's over, is this the ending you expected?"

The royal palace of Argos turned into a ruin again, on top of which there were countless fragments of broken walls, only a boy with pink hair was still standing there.

It's just that after the victory, the pink-haired boy was not happy at all, because the old man lying on the ground in front of him was his grandfather and his mother's father.

"Sure enough, everything is as prophesied, you came here and killed me, then finish the last job."

Chrisius leaned on his sword and stood up slowly. Even though Perseus held back his hand before, it was incredible for such an old king to stand up.

"Why do you believe in those silly prophecies?"

Perseus asked, if it wasn't for this damn prophecy, his mother might be living a carefree life now, because of this damn prophecy...

"Needless to say so much, as a real man, you shouldn't leave the enemy alive. Let me see my grandson, do you have the means?"

Chrisius charged forward with his sword raised. This was a posture full of flaws. All Perseus could do was...swing the sword.

Chapter 230 "The Best" Ending

Perseus slapped Chrissius to the ground with the blade of the sword. Although it was not difficult to kill him, he could see that Chrissius wanted to die.

If you want to die, I will kill you? Doesn't it make me feel very shameless?

"Don't pester us anymore. I have no intention of replacing you. My mother is doing well now. The relationship between us was severed more than ten years ago. Don't see each other again."

Perseus finally understood what Dana meant.

If he can leave as soon as possible according to Dana's instructions, then he will not encounter such a bad thing.

"No, you can't...you can't go yet."

Chrisius got up, obviously he was definitely not the opponent, but he still rushed towards Perseus with his sword.

"Old man, have you had enough trouble?"

Perseus impatiently took the sword and slapped it, but this time Chrisius blocked the blow, and under Perseus' surprised gaze, he plunged Perseus' sword into his body.

Chrysius collided with Perseus' sword, and the blow was fatal.

"Why? Don't you want to live so much?"

Perseus looked at Chrisius who was going to die. He didn't kill Chrisius before, of course it wasn't because he had any feelings for his grandfather, but he didn't want to kill him.

If Chrisius is killed, isn't everything just like the so-called prophecy?

Then the reason why Chrisius exiled Dana was justified, because everything really happened according to the prophecy, which shows that Chrisius' choice back then was "right".

Do you want to prove yourself "right" even at the cost of your life?

How stupid.

"Ahem~ This is the right choice. Perseus, you didn't kill me immediately, which proves that my choice is right. You are a good person."

Chrisius laughed, and as the blood flowed out of his body like money, he laughed wildly as if he was born again.

Perseus was puzzled, as if he had failed himself by taking Chrisius' life.

"Your 'right'? Banished mother?"

"No, that's just my psychological comfort. You don't need to talk about it. What I want to do is to hand over Argos to you."

"are you crazy?"

When Perseus heard that Argos was going to be handed over to him, even if he was as refined and easy-going as he was, he couldn't help scolding.

"You asked me before, can such means be useful to you? Now the answer has come out, I have nothing to do with your family at all, let you go today, I am destined to live in fear in my future life."

Chrisius has been dreaming about that year recently, which has already made him a little restless, and now he has learned of the existence of Perseus, even if Perseus did not kill him today, he is a little worried Nor will it decrease.

Argos may not be able to destroy Perseus with the power of a single city, which means that as a king, Chrisius has no security. The other party can come to take his head at any time, but he can't do anything. Cope effectively.

Such fear is unacceptable for a person in power.

"So you chose to die? Be an evasive coward."

Perseus had only indescribable dislike for Chrisius at this time, so he handed Argos to him?

Argos and I have half a dime relationship? If Argos is destroyed, I will open champagne on the spot and have a good death directly.

"Hehe~ Of course not, I have already told my good subjects, whoever walks out of the palace with you today will be the king of this city-state, and they will obey your arrangement, because you are the one chosen by fate. "

destiny?

Whether fate chose Perseus or Chrisius chose Perseus, all this is not important at this time.

"Don't say that you will give up on them. You are a good person. Even if I wanted to kill you, you didn't kill me immediately to vent your anger. Although you have your own considerations here, my eyesight will not deceive me. You will let Argonaut Is this the city that your mother was born in?"

"you......"

Hearing Chrisius' threat, Perseus was so furious that his mother came to kidnap him.

At this time, Perseus did not have the vision of Zeus, nor did he have the flexible bottom line of Zeus, so he obviously liked it very much.

"Although I don't know how strong Jupiter is, but being able to retreat from Mount Olympus has already demonstrated his strength, and with him as your father, your future is absolutely limitless, let you be The king of Argos, in the future Argos will definitely be a force that cannot be ignored in Greece."

Chrisius understood that the city-state of Argos was too restrictive.

Although it is located on the Mediterranean Sea, it can be used as a port city-state to develop trade, but the territory is limited and the population is limited, and there is no mineral storage that can be called, which leads to many things being dependent on imports.

In times of peace, Argos could use its port attributes to make a fortune, but once a war broke out, Argos simply did not have enough troops to compete with other city-states, especially after the war more than ten years ago , the military strength of the city-state has not yet recovered to its peak.

"Recently, Greece is not at peace. The turmoil between the various city-states has accumulated to a certain extent in the past ten years. If a war breaks out, Argos will inevitably be unsustainable once it is affected."

"So you hand over the mess to me?"
