Chapter 1997: Evil Ways (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket! Please Subscribe!!!)

"Is he... reaching the stage of rebellion?" Kai felt a little helpless. There are many styles and makeups that you can watch on TV and think are fine. But once you get to reality, you will find it particularly eye-catching.

For example, right now, looking at the faceless guitar man who was still playing the guitar in front of him... Kai didn't know what to say.

"Hahaha..." On the contrary, Aphrodite disapproved of this, "It's just a hobby."

After saying that, Aphrodite shouted to her son, who was still immersed in playing the guitar: "Okay! Eros! Come meet my friend!"

clang!

The guitar sound stopped.

Then the guitar man wearing red autumn clothes jumped out of the exclusive chariot.

He did not change into Eros' original appearance, and still appeared in front of Aphrodite as the faceless guitar man.

"Hahaha! You are finally here. I searched here for a long time before I found you."

There is a difference between the relationship between gods and the ethical relationship in human imagination. Gods are more independent. It does not mean that you are my parent and I must obey you in everything. The relationship between parents and children of gods is more independent. If the ideals and responsibilities between parents and children are consistent, there is nothing to say. A superior-subordinate relationship is naturally formed.

Just like Ares, the god of war, Ares is the god of war, mutiny, killing and riots. He is described as a "bloodthirsty murderer and conqueror of defended castles". He is a symbol of strength and power, bloodthirsty and bloodthirsty, and the embodiment of human disaster. He is very angry, martial and aggressive. He dances when he hears the sound of war drums and becomes ecstatic when he smells the smell of blood. Killing and fighting were his daily routine. Wherever there was a fierce battle, he would immediately rush there and start killing without hesitation. He looked majestic when he put on his battle uniform, with feathered armor on his head, leather sleeves on his arms, and a menacing bronze spear in his hand. He is uniquely endowed with majesty, agility, tirelessness in long battles, forcefulness, burly and strong. He is also the great enemy of wisdom and the scourge of mankind. He usually fought his opponents on foot, sometimes from a four-horse chariot (the four horses were descendants of the North Wind and a Fury). Following him to the battlefield were his sons: terror, trembling, panic and fear, as well as his sisters Eris, the goddess of discord (the mother of the goddess of strife), Enyo, the goddess of city destruction, and a group of bloodthirsty demons.

His four war horses are said to be the sons of Ares and a goddess of revenge, and they are respectively called: Aitoun (meaning "burning"), Cornabos (meaning "riot"), and Phrogios (meaning "riot"). meaning "fire"), Phobos (meaning "terror"). The image of Ares is usually that of a mighty, extraordinary-looking warrior wearing armor. It is represented by: spears, torches, hounds and eagles. It is said that he can make a deafening and miserable sound, like thousands of soldiers crying; once he is injured and falls to the ground, his huge body covers an area of ​​7 hectares.

His horses, monsters, and heirs all basically felt that Ares' ideas suited their tastes, so they followed him and were regarded as his.

But not Eros. Eros is the son of Ares and Aphrodite, but he is closer to his mother. So people in the world regard them as the same group. And Ares also thought that he didn't have this son and didn't care much. Likewise, Eros didn't care much about Ares. There was no obvious relationship between the two.

So even if Kai kills Ares, Eros has no special opinion of Kai... Ares? Oh, former colleague, I don’t feel anything at all.

Of course, the root of all this is ancestral!

You know, the gods of Olympus don’t talk about fatherly kindness and sonly filial piety at all. This thing is fundamentally wrong.

God of Chaos, at the beginning of the universe, there was only Chaos. He was an infinite space with nothing. Chaos itself has the ability to reproduce life, and gave birth to Gaia, the mother of the earth, Tartarus, the god of the hell abyss, Erebus, the god of darkness, and Nyx, the goddess of the night, and the world began.

Then Gaia gave birth to Uranus, the sky god, Pentheus, the sea god, and Uriah, the mountain god. And combined with Uranus, they gave birth to twelve Titans, three Cyclops, and three Hundred-Armed Giants. However, this union was not voluntary by Gaia. Uralus was relatively barbaric, and he did not like his children. They did not allow them to be born. Gaia was very painful, so she instigated the children to rebel against their father, and then Cronus castrated After his father became the master, Uranus cursed Cronus, you will be overthrown by your own children like me. In order to avoid this happening, Cronus took every child born from the union with Rhea. The children ate them all.

Rhea then took Gaia's advice and replaced Zeus with a stone, making him the only child to survive. When Zeus grew up, he forced Cronus to spit out the swallowed child. The Olympus clan headed by Zeus and the Titan clan headed by Cronus. In the end, the Olympians won the final victory, and the defeated Titans were thrown into Tartarus. The Olympus Protoss gained the right to rule.

It can be said that every change of royal power is accompanied by betrayal and bloodshed.

An unkind father and an unfilial son is almost an Olympian tradition.

Legend has it that Zeus would also be overthrown by his own children.

Gaia and Uranus predicted that Metis' future children would be smart and powerful. After she gave birth to a bright-eyed daughter, she would give birth to a son who would overthrow Zeus. Zeus was afraid of the troubles caused by his children, so he swallowed both mother and daughter while Metis was still pregnant with Athena. After that, Zeus had a splitting headache and had to ask the god of fire Hephaestus (or Prometheus or Hermes) to split his head. As soon as he raised the axe, to the surprise of the gods, a beautiful goddess with a graceful figure and armed with a sharp weapon actually broke through Zeus' head and jumped out.

But because Metis was swallowed, Metis could not give birth to a second child, so Zeus could sleep peacefully. (By the way, Metis did not die, but merged with Zeus, and Zeus also possessed the highest wisdom since then. In a sense, Metis is a part of Zeus, and she can even appear to give advice to others, but Zeus should not have another child with her)

So don't expect this family to really have any father-son relationship.

It's just whether they get along or not.

Aphrodite and Eros have a good relationship because they get along well. This is much more reliable than those unreliable parent-child relationships.

"Is this the person you are sending this time?"

Although Eros looks a little wrong, his voice is very nice. Not like the crazy guitarist just now.

"Yes, he is Kai, from Earth. He is Thor, from Asgard."

Aphrodite did not hide it and said it directly.

Eros' eyes lit up... This is not an adjective, but a real situation. This guy's eyes really lit up.

"Earth?! You are from Earth!"

Eros grabbed Kai's hand and shook it desperately.

"Great, you must tell me about Earth! I almost forgot what Earth is like."

Eros was born on Earth, but he was still young at that time. He was exiled to the universe before he had time to really understand his hometown.

Kay didn't expect that he could actually meet an Earth fan...

"Although it's a bit wrong to say this now, I still want to know... why are you dressed like this?"

"You mean this?" Eros introduced to Kai with great interest: "This is made by our fan club, what do you think? Does it look like it? Have you seen the movie Mad Max 4 Fury Road? We are cosplaying the team of the immortal old Joe in that movie! That movie is really great!"

Kai was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know what the director of this movie would think if he knew that he had fans on alien planets.

Especially this fan is a god!

On the contrary, Thor became interested.

"Not bad, I thought I was dazzled just now."

"Really?" Eros seemed to be greatly exaggerated, and the whole person looked radiant.

"Of course! But Mad Max 5 has been released, I wonder if you have seen it?"

Thor just said it casually.

Unexpectedly, Eros reacted so strongly: "What? The fifth one has been released?"

"Yes, it will be released this year."

"Ah?! Then I have to wait a long time to see it."

Kai interrupted curiously at this time and asked: "Can you also watch movies from Earth here?"

"Yes. Why not! This is the City of All Power, everything you want is available, but it's just a little troublesome."

Kai asked curiously: "Can the City of All Power be connected to Earth?"

"That's not possible, I don't know why specifically. But after all, there are always some channels in the universe, but the location of the Earth is too desolate and remote, so even if there are any good things, it will take a long time to come."

"Where did you get that movie from?"

"I got it from a mercenary called the Guardians of the Galaxy. These guys are good at everything, but they just want money."

Kai unexpectedly heard a familiar name.

Guardians of the Galaxy

"Is that guy called Star-Lord?"

"Yes! That guy is from Earth. When they first came, they were yelling there. Later, they started doing business with us, but the God King doesn't like them or the things they spread, so we all circulate secretly."

Kai pulled the corner of his mouth.

Star-Lord, that bastard, came to Earth several times, and bought a lot of things every time, saying that he wanted to relieve his homesickness, but this grandson actually resold those things... and at a high price.

But it also fits the personality of that bastard Star-Lord.

In addition... the faceless guitar man in front of him is not a good person either. He circulates things that are clearly prohibited. But considering that he is a snakehead, his main business is smuggling, but this thing is inseparable from smuggling.

It turns out that the little Cupid is actually engaged in this kind of shady business in the Pantheon.

"You guys... don't have anyone to manage it?" Kaido asked out of curiosity.

"Manage? Of course there are people who manage it. But their role is probably... to get an extra copy?" Eros thought for a while and said.

What kind of world is this?

Is the Pantheon so corrupt now?

Thor was also shocked. He finally understood why his father looked down on the Pantheon.

What kind of people are these?

However, Eros misunderstood their expressions and thought that he looked down on him.

So Eros said seriously: "Don't underestimate our business. There are many tricks in it. If it weren't for us, where would the Almighty City have so many low-level laborers? If it weren't for us, where would the Almighty City have so many things to eat, drink and play?"

Kai didn't understand: "But why are you doing this? You are gods! Do you need to care about these things?"

Eros looked at his mother and found that his mother didn't say anything, which meant that the person in front of him was not a toy for his mother to relieve boredom, but his mother really cared about it. Otherwise, she wouldn't come here in person.

So he could also patiently say something.

"What's wrong with gods? Gods also need to eat!"

Eros said it with confidence.

In a way, gods are indeed immortal, but you can't say that they are completely separated from matter.

After all, gods are also a kind of creature, just a little stronger.

"Gods also have needs. We need pomp, pleasure, and life. These are all needs! But if we only rely on the power of faith contributed by believers, it is not enough to maintain these!" It is indeed not enough, but this is only for the Almighty City.

As the center of the Pantheon.

It is a bit like the capital, the cost of living is extremely high!

If you stay in your own territory like other gods and don't come to the Almighty City, there will be no problem at all. The power of faith of believers is enough.

But if you want to live well in the Almighty City, I'm sorry, your "dead salary" is definitely not enough!

So you have to find a way to make extra money!

Currency is generated by the allocation of resources by the society as a whole and formed by transactions between social individuals. The social whole uses resources and labor social individuals to trade, which will inevitably produce the double value-added of commodity use value and value. This double value-added is distributed among all social individuals according to value, and the distribution method is value distribution rather than physical distribution. In this way, the ticket given by the society as a whole to the social individual has the nature of currency, and once it plays a mediating role in transactions between social individuals, it becomes currency. The emergence of currency is inevitable.

And the currency of the Pantheon is the power of faith.

Where there is demand, there is a market.

Where there is a market, there will naturally be people to make money!

Although Eros has a wide network of contacts among the gods and is very popular.

But to be honest, he does not get much faith among mortals.

Even the god of love is not a mainstream belief! What's more, he is a small god of love.

If he wants to live well, he naturally has to find a way.

But he can't compete with those powerful beings in regular business, so he can only take crooked ways.
