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

Zeus still felt that sense of satisfaction at this moment just to make his children identify with him.

Perseus is different from other children. The gods have their own consciousness when they are born. When Zeus communicates with them, he communicates with his peers rather than with his own children.

It's a kind of communication between superiors and subordinates. Among the gods, there are not many people who can really talk, let alone the juniors.

"But recently I have a little too many children."

If those "cosmographers" simply gave Zeus a headache, then those self-proclaimed "half-god" heroes really damaged Zeus's reputation.

The rumors about becoming a bull and going to other people's wives are fine, after all, Zeus is not incapable of being a superior person, but those rumors that Zeus is not afraid of meat and vegetables have slept with countless handsome men are really too much.

This is Greece, not Chengdu, why are there so many overflow incidents.

"It's good to have a lot of children and grandchildren. Anyway, my mother won't be jealous because of this kind of thing. If Androda hears such rumors about me, I can't live in peace."

The father and son looked at each other and smiled, obviously they were father and son but they had the same mid-life crisis.

......

The port of Rome, as the queen, Dana did not go to handle official duties today, which is very unprecedented for a diligent queen.

People have speculated about what kind of person is qualified to ask the queen to come to the port to wait in person.

Not long after, a majestic large ship sailed towards the port. It was a flag the Romans had never seen before, which meant that the other party was a city-state that Rome had not established diplomatic relations with.

The ships of the strange city-state can already be seen with the naked eye at the port, but the navy of the city-state has not reacted at all.

Allies?

Soon the hearts of the people were relieved. After all, the queen came to the port in person. If they were to die, everyone would die together. The queen would not be afraid, let alone them.

The big ship landed soon, and a few soldiers got off from it. Although they were few in number, they were well-equipped, even in Rome they could be considered elite.

"You grew up Perseus."

There were more wrinkles on Dana's face, and the pink hair that was full of vigor turned into white. Even so, she still felt distressed when she saw the white hair on her son's head.

"Mother, I haven't been back for a long time, I'm really sorry."

"It's okay, you're in pain too, right?"

Dana understood that Perseus had always been a good boy, and he would definitely come back to visit his mother immediately if he had time.

For more than 20 years, Dana only communicated with each other by letters, and Dana understood what her children would face every day.

The nobles with evil intentions, the enemies who look around, the pressure of people's lives, the confusion of the city-state's development...

When the individual's bravery reaches the limit, when the strong man is slumping forward under the shackles of rules, when he learns to endure for the sake of love, Perseus has completed his growth in that instant.

Even this growth comes with pain.

"Far less than my father."

When Zeus was not present, Perseus's words were not so sharp. Unknowingly, he began to follow in Zeus's footsteps, trying to do what Zeus had done.

This initial opportunity may be due to the rebellious psychology of the role of "father", and he did it with the mentality that "father" can do it naturally, but the result is naturally a dust on the nose.

Fortunately, the existence of this rebellious psychology made Perseus continue to try and finally made one reform after another in Ethiopia.

"Where's your father?"

"I didn't follow me all the way here, it seems to be preparing some kind of banquet, after all, mother, you are also a great-grandmother."

So saying, Perseus asked his daughter Alcmene to bring his infant grandson here.

"What a lovely little fellow, what's his name?"

"I haven't given him a name yet. My daughter hopes that the gods will bless him, but my father told me in advance. Huh...Master Juno seems to be planning to call him Hercules."

Hercules, which means "the one blessed by Hera".

Chapter 240 Eighth Hera's "Blessing"

The location of the banquet this time is the same as last time, still in a forest with a barrier set up.

The fantasy species travels for the gods, and Hera blesses the newborn child, but the thoughts in the hearts of the gods are different on such a happy day.

The addition of Athena and Poseidon made the originally stable Roman faith begin to add variables, but Hades unexpectedly did not join the war of faith, but asked Zeus to help build a passage to lead the dead in Rome to the underworld.

Among the gods, Hades can be regarded as the type who sees more clearly. It is absolutely impossible for him who is already taciturn to learn from Athena's eloquent tongue, and he can't be like Ares and his followers. They are together in a physical sense.

This guy is stuck there without going up or down.

Although Zeus spread his faith in the battle when Zeus returned to Rome and became independent from Greece, his followers declined precipitously as the war disappeared.

This made him understand a truth, human insects are really changing day by day.

But fortunately, these insects will die sooner or later. When they die and go to the underworld, Hades has a bunch of good fruits waiting for them, so that these people can't eat them and walk around.

The underworld is the foundation of Hades. As long as the human soul after death is well managed, there will be great faith, which also makes Hades lose the desire to compete for the faith on the ground.

After all, beliefs that cannot be managed will be lost sooner or later.

Fortunately, Rome is still expanding outwards at this time, and a large number of mountains and wastelands have been developed under the addition of new gods, and new territories and resources represent new jobs.

Rome at this time is different from Greece that has entered the "Red Sea", its territory and resources have been divided up, and Rome still in the "Blue Ocean" has unlimited possibilities.

The population is growing rapidly, and the economy can also rely on the cover of Perseus to export from Argos to Greece, and the profits are enough to make people crazy.

"Using the geographical advantages of Argos and Roman joints, and then using your own privileges to exempt Roman caravans from tariffs, coupled with your status as a member of the city-state alliance, those Roman resources can be unimpeded in the Greek market, this child Really grown up."

Although Dana has shown her old age, she already has a natural intuition for these things. Even if she is far away in Rome, she can still feel what kind of life her child is living on a daily basis.

"He is now the target that the whole of Greece wants to challenge, the strongest human 'half god' Perseus."

Zeus introduced Perseus' deeds in Greece over the years. Although Dana had heard about it in the letters with Perseus, she still listened to Zeus's story with great enjoyment.

Even though she no longer looks like a partner standing in front of Zeus at this time, their communication will not be blocked by appearance.

"Grandfather, grandma, I'm bothering you."

Just as Zeus was chatting happily with Dana, a black-haired woman came over, that was Hercules' mother Alcmene.

"I'm very sorry, I just think it's a pity that the child hasn't met his great-grandfather, so I hope you can hug him?"

Alcmene looked a little embarrassed, and the gods also looked in the direction of Zeus, very curious about the rude woman in front of Zeus.

"The people who are greedy for profit."

Even his own daughter, Perseus's evaluation is still very rude, or such a evaluation can still be regarded as soft-spoken.

For fame and power, Alcmene can use her own future as a bargaining chip, and she can also use her children as a weapon.

The blood of God did not appear on her body, or in other words, the blood of God could not save the filthy soul.

The gods were very much looking forward to how Zeus would deal with such a junior who was going to make a fool of himself, but they never expected that he would help Zeus out of the siege.

"Woman, don't you think too highly of yourself?"

It was Ares who spoke.

His tall body directly stood in front of Alcmene, even though he was also of the blood of Zeus, but Alcmene's blood was too thin.

This is a person who has absolutely no merit in inheriting the blood of Zeus.

This is something that cannot be forced. When a family develops to a certain level, such a person will naturally be born. Even if the child she gives birth to is very talented, there is no way to recognize this person's characteristics.

"Master Ares, we obviously..."

"Family? Are you worthy?"

Ares never made a move. After all, unless it is necessary, it is against his principles to attack the weak. Just not shooting is enough to scare the young people.

Alcmene was so frightened that she sat on the ground.

Originally, her plan was just to make a familiar face in front of the gods. After all, although she also has the blood of Zeus in her body, she has never been qualified to meet the gods.

Whether it's for herself or her children, she felt that she was qualified to come and have a try, but she didn't expect this to be the result.

Alcmene looked at his father Perseus, but his father's eyes were cold when he waited.

Although Perseus would be disrespectful to Zeus, it was usually when two people met in private, and Perseus would definitely show Zeus absolute face in public.

And in such a gathering where all the gods are present, if Zeus hadn't taken the initiative to chat with him, Perseus would not have leapfrogged to find Zeus.

In such a formal occasion, Alcmene should not contact the superior with such an obvious purpose anyway.

She clearly understands this kind of reasoning, but because of Hera's blessing to her child, she is drifting away. She even really thinks that her child has been blessed, and she can be precious by mother and child.

But if Zeus didn't mention this matter, and this child is really the continuation of Zeus' blood, would Hera care who Alcmene was?

This is really an ordinary and confident woman.

"Perseus is a demigod recognized by all the gods, and is the blood of Zeus. Do you know why?"

Facing Ares' question, Alcmene couldn't answer a word.

In her opinion, since her father has been recognized by the gods, she should also be considered a descendant of Zeus. Why is there such a big difference in treatment?

"Because he has enough strength and made enough achievements, and what do you have? The bastard you hold in your arms?"

Ares only recognizes the strong. Even if the blood does not exist, Perseus is strong enough, so he can still recognize him. If Apollo is too weak, then he will not be recognized.

"Listen well, if you are not convinced today, find a way to make me stronger. If you don't have this ability yourself, let the little bastard in your arms become stronger quickly and then come to me. Whether you can find the place depends on your strength. .”

Ares left after saying this, leaving Alcmene alone, no one and no one continued to focus on her, and she shrank aside alone like air.

"Thank you Ares."

Zeus came to the side of Ares to thank him. There was not much affection between father and son. Although Zeus had tried to narrow the distance between the two over the years, he seemed to have become a kind leader in the end.

Ares and Athena, only in front of the two children, Zeus has no way to become a father.

They are too independent and too personal.

"Thank you? If your method is more straightforward, you don't need to thank me for this at all, right?"

Ares doesn't understand what Zeus has to "thank" him. Unlike Athena, who can still see a little bit of clues, Zeus' behavior logic is neither a conspirator nor a good person, so he can't be punished directly by Ares. .

Could it be that this old guy has something to do with him, so he went out of his way to please him first?

"I just want to thank you for not embarrassing me with your shot."

In fact, Zeus had heard from Perseus that his granddaughter was not a fuel-efficient lamp. Even Zeus, who was as nervous as he was, understood that showing intimacy with Hercules on the occasion just now was tantamount to some kind of signal.

This would indeed allow Hercules to obtain the right of succession to Rome almost surely, but it would undoubtedly put the child on fire.

No... that's already the case.

"Alcmene, as a mother, I know how proud you are of your child."

Hera walked towards Alcmene slowly, her smile was very kind, which made Alcmene feel at ease.

That's right, Lord Hera personally named his child, Lord Hera can be trusted.

Alcmene seems to have regained hope, even if she can't hold Zeus's lap, it is worthwhile to hold the god queen's lap.

It's just that she is doomed to be disappointed, but anyone who knows a little about Hera knows that Hera is definitely not a magnanimous person, and as the relationship between Hera and Zeus has become more delicate over the years, even if Hera does not admit it, it cannot be denied that Zeus It has already entered her heart, and it is no longer a tool for gaining power.

No one may know exactly when this transformation started, not even Hera, who was involved.

It's just that everyone knows one thing, if anyone intends to keep Zeus from stepping down, then this careless God Queen will keep a notebook.

Being targeted by Hera, all the gods mourned for this popular girl.

"Alcmene, as you have seen just now, only those who are strong enough can gain the respect of others. Hercules is a man who can be made. I also have a deep understanding of this."

"Master Hera, are you going to help me?"

"It's not me helping you, but your child will help you, but before that I will give your child enough exercise, are you willing to let him embark on a challenging road?"

"Of course I would."

Alcmene was naturally overjoyed. His father Perseus also embarked on the road of trials because of Hera's words back then, and finally became a famous hero in Greece. Now everything in front of him seems to be history repeating itself.

How else would Alcmene rejoice.

"Then are you willing to let your child leave your arms for a while? A true hero should not be huddled in his mother's arms. He needs a real trial."

"This......"

Because of Alcmene, the most important thing for a child is childhood, if you can't seize the opportunity to cultivate feelings during this period, then why should you let this child help you in the future.

"Alcmene, you have to know that even your father, without the guidance of a good teacher, would not be able to achieve what he is today. This is an opportunity that many people dream of."

Hera's language is still full of temptation, she understands that the greedy woman in front of her can't stand any temptation at all, and the best punishment for such a person is to let her take one of them when she is closest to what she wants most. Mouth destroyed.
