Chapter 1979: Once in a Lifetime (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket!!! Please Subscribe!!! Please Recommend!!!)
Hera is right. Although the Pantheon has become stronger and stronger under Zeus' integration in recent years, there are still many hidden dangers. The most prominent one is that the Olympus pantheon is too strong. In fact, Asgard's alienation from the Pantheon is not just due to the different ideas between the two.
Among them, Zeus's skill is also an important reason. Both pantheons are very powerful, so there will inevitably be disputes over leadership, but how to say it?
Olympus has the upper hand in terms of momentum, but Asgard has the upper hand in actual strength.
There are a total of twelve main gods in the Olympus pantheon, each of whom is very powerful, which makes them have a very strong momentum. In comparison, Asgard seems a bit alone, with only Odin as the main god. Although Odin alone may be able to fight against the twelve main gods, the problem is that the momentum is suddenly far behind.
But in fact, Asgard is stronger. First of all, Asgard is not an ordinary pantheon, and they do not rely on faith to maintain their strength. The source of power of the gods in the Pantheon is faith, which leads to the fact that the more powerful the gods are, the more power they get from faith, and vice versa.
So the strong ones get stronger, and the weak ones get weaker.
This leads to a big difference between their individuals.
After all, even the main gods will not arbitrarily distribute their power of faith. This leads to a huge difference in the combat effectiveness of the gods. Take the Olympus pantheon as an example. Except for the twelve main gods, the combat effectiveness of other gods is not very strong.
And what about Asgard?
He is a soldier for all the people, and there is no so-called power of faith. And both technology and magic are very stable.
If the basic quality of soldiers is compared, Asgard can beat the Pantheon by more than ten streets.
In the Pantheon, the gods rule everything and have serious restrictions on all progressive things. Asgard does not have this thing, so they can beat the gods by more than ten streets in terms of technological level. If a fight really starts, Asgard can sweep the gods in space battles alone.
Unfortunately, under the Pantheon system, combat effectiveness is severely restricted. Everyone fights within the system, and naturally plays political tricks, so Asgard is severely suppressed by Olympus.
When Odin came to power, he looked down on these guys at all, after all, Odin used to be a typical hawk. It's like when Germany rose, it saw the world situation and found that it had no chance to play. If it played with the traditional powers of Britain and France in this situation, it would only be beaten to death.
So it had to turn the table.
Fortunately, Odin really looked down on the Pantheon and put their conquest plan behind.
Otherwise...
But no matter what, the Olympus pantheon still squeezed out Asgard and completed the power grab of the Pantheon.
But this brought up another problem.
The Olympus pantheon is the only one, which is not in the interests of other players in the Pantheon.
So Olympus split.
It can be said that the split of Olympus was on the one hand due to the conflict between Hera and Zeus, and on the other hand, it was also what everyone expected. After all, a pantheon that has the right to speak in the Pantheon, and is so united and powerful, what else is there for everyone to do? Everyone just joins the Olympian pantheon.
So Zeus and Hera never get along with each other. On the one hand, it is indeed out of personal grudges, and on the other hand, they have to do it.
Only when they are divided can everyone be safe. If they are united, then everyone will have to consider whether to unite and kill the Olympian pantheon.
It is also because of this situation that Hera's influence cannot be extended to the City of the Almighty.
So Hera said that she couldn't help, and it was not an excuse.
"But... if you want to enter the City of the Almighty without being discovered. There is someone who can help you."
Hera looked at Kai, smiled, and gave another solution.
Thor was overjoyed, and Kai looked at the goddess Aphrodite who had been acting like a lady on the side.
People often talk about social masters, but compared with Aphrodite, they are not up to the standard.
Aphrodite is known as the female Zeus. This female Bodhisattva gives her body everywhere. Not only does she have many believers, but her network of relationships is also everywhere!
Seeing Kai's eyes, the female Bodhisattva immediately raised her chin with a cold expression.
Aphrodite was very impressed with Kai... This is based on the traditional skill of the Olympian gods - being petty.
After all, after so many years, there are not many men who can refuse her. And he is a mortal, which is even less. So Aphrodite will remember Kai all her life.
Kai sucked his teeth in discomfort... This woman is not easy to fool.
Kai doesn't think that he can deal with her by sacrificing his chastity... Others are goddesses, not sex addicts. She pursues spiritual fusion more. In other words, if you really want to convince her, it is absolutely impossible to go for sex, and others are not that low-level. But the problem is that Kai really can't do it with his heart.
After all, this thing is related to the world view.
Kai doesn't care about sex. He is a big man, and he can't suffer any loss. But if you want to be sincere, let's put it this way, with Kai's previous record of rejecting her, plus Aphrodite's stinginess, Kai is ready to accept an unforgettable sadomasochistic love... Really, this is not an exaggeration.
This woman is very stingy.
One of Aphrodite's most famous victims was Helen. Helen was the most beautiful woman among mortals, her beauty surpassed that of Aphrodite, and the outbreak of the Trojan War was also related to "beauty." In order to win a beauty contest with Hera and Athena, Aphrodite seduced Paris and promised him that if he chose herself as the most beautiful goddess among them, he would have The daughter of Zeus and Leda. Paris gave the honor of "most beautiful goddess" to Aphrodite. Of course, Aphrodite kept her promise, but she didn't mean well.
Then Paris came to Sparta and abducted Helen, the wife of Menelaus, king of Sparta, which Aphrodite had promised to Paris.
This triggered the famous Trojan War.
The war was too cruel, and the Greeks and Trojans decided to end the war and instead let Menelaus, the cuckolded husband, engage in a duel with Paris, Helen's kidnapper. Helen stood behind the walls of Troy and watched the duel between her husband and her lover. As she watched, a strong love for Menelaus quietly surged into Helen's heart. That was her abandoned ex-husband. Aphrodite sensed this, so she transformed into an old servant whom Helen loved, and followed her down from the walls of Sparta, hoping to lure Helen to the bedside of her lover Paris. Helen recognized Aphrodite, complained to the goddess about the blame she had suffered, and told the goddess that she no longer wanted to live with Paris. Aphrodite told Helen that if she abandoned Paris, the goddess would leave her alone in the future, and would escalate the war and even threaten to kill Helen. In this way, Helen was persuaded by Aphrodite and had no choice but to stay with Paris, but in her heart she still couldn't help but compare the man beside her with the legal husband she had abandoned.
In a sense, this woman is very manipulative.
Very difficult to do.
At this moment, Athena suddenly stood up: "Kai! I need to talk to you!"
Then, ignoring Hera and Aphrodite, she took Kai and left.
Thor was stunned. He was not a fool. He naturally knew where Kai had been these days.
So he looked at Hera in shock: "I won't have to wait for a few more days, right?"
Hera didn't speak, but her face didn't look good. She didn't want anything to happen to Athena and Kai.
On the contrary, Aphrodite showed a playful smile: "Maybe more than that. Young King of Asgard, our friend has to deal with a ten thousand-year-old maid."
Thor glanced at Aphrodite in surprise, always feeling that this woman had some evil intentions.
In fact, Thor's intuition was correct, Aphrodite did have ill intentions towards Athena, and Hera saw this more clearly.
Aphrodite hated Athena.
It's not just the difference in concepts between the two. In fact, she didn't like Athena even earlier.
In fact, in terms of seniority, Aphrodite is actually higher than Athena. She should be regarded as Athena's aunt, she was born very early. Even before the birth of Zeus. She and Zeus's father, the daughter of the previous generation of god king Uranus, was the last daughter of the god Uranus.
But unfortunately, she was too weak. From the moment she was born, she could not control her own destiny. In the end, she was even betrothed to a lame and ugly man by Zeus.
And what about Athena?
Athena has been particularly favored by Zeus since her birth. She is almost Zeus's favorite child. This kind of favor allows Athena to always get the best, including Athena's decision to remain chaste forever, and Zeus agrees.
She can go on the battlefield, she can walk among the gods, and be respected by everyone.
This is something Aphrodite can never get. She can only get all kinds of lewd prying eyes and malicious jealousy.
This is so unfair.
So Aphrodite was happy to see Athena's chastity destroyed, and even more happy to see this pretentious woman become just like her!
Hera was sure that Aphrodite must have done something, but... Hera didn't say anything to stop her until the end.
If you are not deaf or dumb, you will not be a rich man.
…
Athena and Kai walked in the palace of Crete.
This is the domain of Athena. The style here is not as luxurious as Hera's palace, but it is full of art. There are reliefs and marble statues everywhere. The gardens and flowing water make the entire palace feel like it is in a garden.
Athena is naturally most famous for her wisdom and war priesthood, but in fact, Athena has many priesthoods. Athena is the goddess of art and the patron saint of handicrafts. She teaches humans textiles, cooking, gardening, pottery and other crafts; painting, Music, poetry, dance and other arts. Esoteric hymns call her "the founder of art". At the same time, she is also the patron saint of military, agriculture, medical treatment, navigation, and animal husbandry; the goddess of court and order. She founded the first court of Athens.
This is a goddess who is outstanding in all aspects. It is no wonder that Zeus loves her so much.
The two of them walked in a corridor full of flowing water and flowers.
No one spoke.
Athena didn't know what she was thinking.
Kai, on the other hand, was completely speechless... What should I say?
It is impossible to say that Kai has no thoughts about Athena. After all, such an excellent goddess can make even a man lose his mind. But to put it bluntly, it was just for sex, and the two of them didn't have much development... Mainly because Hera and Zeus took turns to cause trouble, so that the two of them had no chance to develop at all.
Then the two separated.
Kai didn't take it seriously, after all, there was nothing. What can I say, a little regretful, but really not much. If meeting a beautiful woman makes you regretful, then Kai doesn't need to do anything, and will regret it every day.
Strictly speaking, the two of them have no emotional foundation at all.
At most, they are acquaintances.
Athena suddenly pulled Kai over, making Kai a little... at a loss.
How should I start?
It won't be like this forever, right?
Otherwise, I'll tell the truth, we don't have anything to do at all, there's no need to be so ambiguous.
Is it too direct?
Then what should I say?
Think about it quickly! Use your smart brain to think of a solution!
Just when the atmosphere was getting more and more awkward, Athena finally stopped.
"Ah, we're here."
They stopped by a pavilion by the water, and Kai looked around with wide eyes.
Of course Kai still knew this place.
This is where Kai and Athena met in the Garden of the Gods.
Kai was hiding in the garden at that time and had nothing to do. When Athena had nothing to do, she would come to Kai to chat...really, just to chat. Athena was very receptive to new things, and Kai was also bored, so he chatted with Athena about everything.
At that time, Kai really liked Athena, because it felt great to chat with her.
I don't know if you have ever encountered this situation in real life, that is, two people inexplicably chatted very speculatively. What they talked about was not important at all. What was important was that both of them were very happy to chat. This kind of happiness was felt by both of them, not that one person said and the other agreed, but that the two of them talked back and forth, and talked very speculatively and happily.
It didn't matter what they talked about, what was important was the atmosphere.
It seemed that there was no end, and they chatted as they pleased.
When they left, they were reluctant to leave, and they felt that they would meet once in a lifetime.
At that time, the two of them were in this state.
"I didn't expect you to replicate this place one-to-one."
Kai saw this familiar scene, and there was no awkward atmosphere. He walked directly into the pavilion. There was a blanket and a huge pillow in the middle of the pavilion. There was a large golden pot next to it, which was not filled with wine, but water.
At that time, the two felt that drinking would hinder the conversation, so they changed to ice water.
For throat moistening.
Athena's face also became relaxed, and she also walked to Kai's side and lay down, supporting her head with one hand.
Looking at the relaxed Kai.
It seemed that time had returned to those years again, a relaxed and happy afternoon.
Kai forgot where to start.
Anyway, they just started chatting, and then gradually started to go off topic, and then talked about everything.
Just talking nonsense.
But the two didn't care, but chatted happily.
Until the moon rose in the sky.
I don't know who started it, the two leaned against each other.
"You said... if it wasn't Hera, would we be together?"
Athena suddenly asked such a question.
Kai put his arm around Athena's shoulders, asked Athena's hair, and was stunned.
Then he said honestly: "Probably not. I have a reason to leave."
Athena raised her head from his arms and looked at Kai seriously: "Thank you."
"Huh?" Kai didn't expect that a typical straight man's speech would get such a response.
He didn't quite understand.
However, Athena didn't give him a chance to ask questions and directly A came up.
Kai didn't act pretentiously, but secretly complained that his waist and second brother... were going to suffer!
