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

"I want Hephaestus to combine the Head of Gorgon and the Shield of Aegis to create a stronger artifact."

Shield of Aegis and Head of Gorgon?

This directly gave the shield, which was originally unparalleled in defense, a strong attack ability. It stands to reason that Ares should stop this matter, but forging such an artifact will definitely make his sister famous and able to quickly through the stage of accumulating belief.

"What is Sister Athena planning to use the modified Aegis Shield for? I can only think about it after I understand the purpose."

Hephaestus did not immediately agree. Although she admired Athena very much, she also needed to consider her brother and mother. Now that the gods were divided into two groups, she could not help the "enemy" because of her personal emotions. .

"This is out of my own selfishness. Everyone knows that my mother Metis has done her best for me. Not only did she give me the power of wisdom and theocracy, she even gave me the shield of Aegis to save my life. Now I As the only god in Greece, there is no reason to continue to occupy the shield of Aegis."

"Athena, do you mean..."

"That's right, I will return the reformed Aegis to my mother, so that she can protect herself to a certain extent."

Athena spoke righteous words, and looked like a loving mother and daughter, not to mention really moved Zeus.

Look at what the environment was like in the era of Cronus, and what the environment will be like after I took over.

Thinking of this, Zeus couldn't help but want to retreat tactically.

Zeus's smile and affirmative eyes are upright, so that the magic falls into the eyes of other gods, which also tastes a different meaning.

Needless to say about the relationship between Metis and Zeus, giving it to Metis is basically equivalent to returning to Zeus's pocket.

In the eyes of the gods, this was Athena's means to curry favor with Zeus, and Zeus also appreciated Athena's actions very much in terms of his reaction.

It is not difficult to guess the purpose of it.

Let Hephaestus transform the new shield to make it famous, which can ease the relationship with Hera to a certain extent, and quickly cultivate a god who carves up the belief in the God of War, and weakens Ares by the way.

Even if Ares sees this, it won't help, because he really loves his sister.

Although Ares was weakened, Athena also lost the shield that made her invincible. This is an uncomfortable deal that must be carried out.

The reason why Athena made such a choice may be because she felt a sense of crisis.

In this battle, both Hades and Poseidon took action. Given the personalities of these two, there is absolutely no benefit. I think Zeus also gave some benefits, perhaps the right to play a trumpet in Rome.

If considered in this way, then Athena would be the only remaining god who did not play a trumpet in Rome.

This will not see any change in the short term, but in the long run it will definitely be a blood loss.

She has to catch up.

Chapter 240 Seven Blessed by Hera

More than 20 years have passed since Perseus killed Medusa, and this legendary hero still reigns in Ethiopia as a king.

Even after losing the head of Gorgon, Perseus has proved his name as a hero with his powerful strength in the face of repeated foreign invasions.

But even so, some people still expressed puzzlement over Perseus' return of the head of Gorgon.

If the head of Gorgon is still in the hands of Perseus, there will never be any city-state that would dare to attack Ethiopia in these years.

Now it’s not because Perseus has lost his trump card and is gradually showing his old age that he has an idea.

As the belief of Hephaestus, the god of forging, spread from Sparta to the city-state alliance, everyone understood the reason.

The head of Gorgon had been inlaid on Athena's shield, and the shield was returned to Zeus.

Good fellow, it turned out that I went to honor my father.

This made the people on the land of Greece think of themselves as the God King who will never suffer.

There are very few temples of Zeus, and the priests are basically in a state of generating electricity for love. Except for certain financial assistance, Zeus will not ask them to do anything. It can be said that it is the most comfortable profession in Greece.

The daily work these days is to drink tea and listen to music, and by the way, study and study the history of gods to give answers to believers when they come to ask for advice.

Zeus has never given a clear record about himself. All information about Zeus needs to be extracted from the teachings of other gods, and finally put together to give mortals a chance to glimpse the life trajectory of the god king.

Fight against Cronus wisely, open up the underworld, defeat Typhon... Zeus's achievements don't need to be advertised deliberately, as long as you believe in any god in this Greek land, then in the teachings of that god Definitely has the achievements of Zeus.

Fragmented narrative, it belongs to yes.

And this will inevitably lead to countless "cosmographers" among the people. Originally, they were just a small circle. Now that the shield of Aegis with the head of Gorgon inlaid has returned to Zeus's hands, they are like chicken blood. Generally, they start to publicize the deeds of Zeus, but they thought Zeus was his real father.

......

"So Zeus had already decided his own destiny before he was born, and Cronus couldn't kill him no matter what?"

A white-haired young man listened to the "story" of the God King preached by the priest of Zeus in front of him, and was directly stunned by the rhetoric of making a destiny before he was born.

"Of course, that's our Greek god-king, and such trivial things can still be done."

The priest of Zeus said proudly, although this was only something he deduced from some documents last night, it is still easy to fool this kind of fledgling young man.

"You are fooling ordinary people with your words. The law of this world is based on the root vortex as the fulcrum, and the two major restraining forces as the core driving force. It is impossible to directly formulate destiny."

"Young man, you must have been bewitched by those magicians. Those magicians huddled in the mountains just couldn't afford to become priests in the temple, so they uttered such blasphemy."

When the magician was mentioned, the priest immediately showed disgust.

Because Zeus is in a state of playing with his own beliefs, his priests and priests are basically not magicians, and they don't have a good impression of those magicians.

"So are you interested in believing in Zeus, our one and only Father?"

"Free, free."

The white-haired young man waved his hand away from the priest who wanted to recruit followers, and then headed towards the Ethiopian palace.

The originally well-defended palace had no effect on this white-haired young man, he just walked in like this, and everyone turned a blind eye to his existence.

It seems that this is not the first time he came here, and he came to Perseus's study in a short while.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"Yeah, long time no see."

Over the past 20 years, Perseus's pink hair has become slightly grizzled. It is different from his youthful handsomeness, but now he is more majestic.

"Then my great father, why did you come to me in person?"

Perseus is indeed as expected, his fighting spirit and perseverance have started to decline since he was a teenager. If it was at this time, he would never do such a "stupid" thing as handing over the head of Gorgon.

Power left more and more traces on him, but he didn't understand why his father, who clearly held more power, would not be manipulated by power.

"Can't you come if you have nothing to do?"

Zeus sighed, his family was scattered all over the place, even if he is a god king, he still feels a bit out of control.

The relationship between him and Perseus has not eased in these years, neither Zeus was notified of the birth of Zeus's grandson, nor the marriage of his granddaughter. Now that the great-grandsons are all born, there is no reason to miss it.

"It's been so many years, have you considered going back to Rome? Dana's health is getting worse recently."

"Mother... I know, I will let my daughter bring my grandson back. During this time, I will take care of the Ethiopian affairs, and then go back together."

Perseus thought of his mother, and also of the city-state he lived in. For more than 20 years, Rome has been thriving under Dana's governance.

At the same time, the beliefs of Athena and Poseidon also began to enter Rome, which also greatly improved Rome's shipping and construction, which gave Rome more expansion capabilities.

After so many years, Perseus has gained a firm foothold in Greece, and he really wants to go back to see his mother, and about the future of Ethiopia and Rome, the two should really have a good discussion.

"Grandson? Alcmene has given birth to a child?"

Zeus did not expect that he not only missed the birth of his granddaughter, but even his great-grandson.

"Well, the name hasn't been chosen yet, and it seems that you are very eager to choose a name for her child by you."

Perseus didn't want to say much about his vain daughter. The goal of that girl's marriage was never thinking of princes from other city-states, but choosing those who had become kings.

This is a manifestation of her need to ensure her own status, but now she wants the gods to name her child, and more needs the gods to bless her child.

"It's not a difficult task, it's just a name. Hera is very good at it."

"No, what worries me is after this."

Human greed is endless. Perseus has been in charge of Ethiopia for more than 20 years, and he has a deep understanding of how terrible this greed is.

"Since the family is dragging the family, it is obviously unreasonable not to bring Alcmene and her child, but I am worried that the girl Alcmene will take advantage of her mother's joy and let her give up the future throne of Rome to the one who has not yet been born. how long child."

20 years ago, Dana was already showing her old age. After 20 years, there may not be much time, and the passing of the throne has become a big problem.

Dana is the only child of Perseus, and Perseus already has a certain family business, so it is impossible for him to go back and inherit the property of his hometown.

In addition to some of them not wanting to gnaw at the old, more of it is not wanting to expose Rome.

Greece has accumulated hundreds of years of development, even if it cannot work together at this time, if it finds the threat of Rome, then it is really hard to say who will win and who will lose.

The great cause of the Greek family can withstand the toss, but every minute and every second of the developmental period of Rome is very important, and it can't afford it.

Perseus cannot inherit, and Dana has no other heirs, so there are not many choices among the remaining people.

The sons of Perseus must be the objects of attention. Even if they did not inherit Ethiopia, they would not leave the public's field of vision. Alcmene valued this and planned to let the son who was still in his infancy The children of get a strong claim on the Roman city-state.

A child who has not yet grown up, even if he has the recognition of the previous queen and the blessing of the gods so that others cannot covet his throne, but he is too young to exercise this right well.

At this time is the time for the mother Alcmene to appear.

The king's young queen mother interfering in politics... Even Perseus couldn't help but feel a headache at the thought.

"Although it's not a problem to pass it on to him, my great-grandson is too young, and he doesn't even have a name now."

Zeus had no objection to passing the throne to his great-grandson, but he could still hear what Perseus said.

It's just that time has passed and Zeus is still a young man, but his son has already shown his old age, which is really embarrassing.

"Father, is Medusa awake?"

"A little bit."

Zeus shook his head. If it was just a simple awakening, it could have been done, but it was just a awakening.

"I see, the last part of the legend has not been completed yet, how many years do I have left?"

So many years have passed, and Perseus has actually seen a lot about what happened back then.

At least he can be sure of his father, and he will never make any trouble with Medusa. After all, the relationship between the two is so good that even if they get married, it will not be surprising.

There is probably only one reason why Medusa has not awakened now, that is, Perseus is not dead, only when Perseus ascended to the sky and turned into a star in full view of everyone, then the "legend" that was spread back then Just tested it completely.

"Year 15."

Regarding the lifespan of Perseus, Zeus naturally went to the underworld to consult Hades. Perseus could hardly live past 60 years after the battle with Gorgon.

"It's still so long, it's really longer than I expected."

Perseus didn't care about this result, and it can even be said that he felt that he had lived a little too long.

"15 years is enough. I can see my mother again, witness the child who has not yet grown up grow up, and have a grand funeral in front of everyone. Father really appreciates your arrangement."

"Perseus I didn't..."

Zeus wanted to deny the claim that he had arranged his own destiny. Recently, he did not know where it started to circulate that he had arranged his own destiny before he was born, and more and more people believed in it.

After all, these rumors are based on the priests of Zeus, and then countless "cosmographers" put forward conjectures. In the eyes of the world, no one knows Zeus better than "cosmographers".

"It doesn't make sense anymore."

Perseus shook his head, there is no need to continue to delve into the unanswered questions, and after more than 20 years, Perseus still has something to say to his eternally young father.

"But I am still very grateful to you. Without you, maybe there would be no life like mine."

If it was more than 20 years ago, Perseus might have said "I did get a lot, but these are not what I need" or something stupid.

But looking back now, Zeus has done a lot for him, and everything he has today is indeed closely related to Zeus.

"You just have 15 years left as a human being, and after those 15 years..."

"I will not continue to stay on this throne. I have begun to become less like myself after just 20 years. If I just stick to it for 15 years, there should be no problem. But if I continue to sit here, I will no longer be me. Now, this is what I admire about you."

Perseus has tasted all the tastes of power in the past 20 years, and he can naturally understand that if he stood in the position of Zeus at that time, he definitely had a better way to deal with Medusa's affairs, rather than relying on Perseus Finish this awkward job.

Own everything but don't act recklessly, look down on the gods but not arrogant, know how to be patient and willing to give, no matter what time you think about your family.

"I didn't understand your greatness until this time."

What Perseus said was from the heart.

"Have it?"

"Of course, if the god-king of Greece were replaced by other gods, the whole of Greece would not have achieved what it is today."

Good guy, better than bad, right?

Zeus was completely incompetent by Perseus's words. According to this meaning, is he awesome or his colleagues are too good.
