Chapter 1999: The Petty-Minded Zeus (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket! Please Subscribe! Please Recommend!)

I didn't expect that things would be so small and stuck at this stall. After all, this is the Almighty City. If he is discovered by Zeus... To be honest, Kai doesn't think Zeus will talk to him calmly. There is no way, as I said before, the narrow-mindedness inherited from the ancestors of the Olympus god system, this thing cannot be cured!

Especially the last time.

When Zeus faced his son who was about to be killed, he bowed his head... Although Zeus's tone at that time did not sound like he was bowing his head at all, people who were familiar with him knew that he was already bowing his head.

Zeus is an extremely arrogant guy. It can be said that no one in the world is more arrogant than him.

After deposing Cronus, Zeus and his brothers drew lots to decide which part of the world each would rule. In this way, Zeus controls the sky, Poseidon controls the ocean, and Hades controls the underworld. They also agreed that the earth, especially the Olympus Mountains, would be jointly controlled by the three of them. In addition to having the greatest power, Zeus also gained another advantage from his status as God of the Sky, as he had free access to any beauties he pleased. Indeed, as god of the sky, he was expected to fertilize the earth; neither goddesses, fairies, nor mortals were largely able to resist his pursuit.

Zeus had other wives before Hera. The first was Metis (goddess of wisdom), whom Zeus swallowed before she gave birth to Athena because Zeus foretold that her second child would dethrone him from the throne. However, in order to keep Athena, the eldest son of Metis, alive, it was recorded in some Greek historical materials: Zeus asked Hephaestus to chop off his forehead with an axe, and Athena jumped off Zeus' head fully armed. come out. However, by swallowing Metis, Zeus gained wisdom as part of his inner nature.

His second wife, Themis (the divine goddess of justice), bore Zeus the seasons, wise law, justice, peace and destiny for mankind.

His third wife was Eurynom, the sea goddess, who was the incarnation of the three goddesses.

His next wife was Mnemosyne, the Titan goddess of memory, writing and language, who later gave birth to nine Muses.

Next is Leto, the Titan goddess in charge of childbirth and breastfeeding. According to legend, she was a concubine of Zeus. After being persecuted by Hera, she gave birth to Artemis and Apollo.

Zeus eventually fell in love with the goddess Hera, who was also the only wife Zeus married and was revered as the Queen of Heaven. After Zeus failed to pursue her, Ji Congxin turned into an unkempt cuckoo. When Hera took pity on the bird and held it to her breast, Zeus returned to his original form and took possession of her by force. So Hera decided to marry him to cover up her shame, and the two held a grand wedding. Given Zeus' lust and Hera's jealousy, their marriage was destined to be quarrelsome and unhappy.

Their union gave birth to four children: Hebe, the goddess of youth and cupbearer of the gods; Ares, the god of war; Ilysia, the goddess of fertility; and Hephaestus, the craftsman of the gods. Perhaps it was in revenge for Zeus giving birth to Athena. Hera claimed that she had also given birth to Hephaestus alone.

This guy can get whatever he wants.

Anyone who resists him will incur vengeance.

Aphrodite rejected Zeus's advances, which made Zeus furious, so he forcibly married her to the ugliest god.

Hera opposed him, so he locked her in a golden chain.

Because humans neglected Zeus, Zeus took away the fire. At that time, human life was very difficult. There is no fire to grill food, so we have to eat raw food. Without fire to illuminate, we have to spend one long night after another in the boundless darkness...

In order to benefit mankind, Prometheus risked his life and stole fire from the sun god Apollo. The main god Zeus stood on the sacred mountain of Olympus and noticed the fireworks on earth, and immediately traced who had stolen the fire from heaven. When he learned that Prometheus had violated the laws of heaven, he became furious and decided to punish him severely. But Hephaestus, the god of fire, admired Prometheus very much and said quietly to him: "As long as you admit your mistake to Zeus and return the fire, I will definitely ask Zeus to forgive you." Prometheus shook his head and said firmly Said: "What's wrong with working for the benefit of mankind! I can endure all kinds of pain, but I will never admit my mistakes, let alone return the fire!"

The god of fire did not dare to disobey Zeus's order, so he had to take Prometheus to the Caucasus Mountains and tie him to a steep cliff with an iron chain that could never be broken, so that he could never sleep and his tired knees could not stand up. It cannot be bent, and there is a diamond nail nailed on his undulating chest. He endured hunger, wind and sun. Zeus sent the gods to chain Prometheus with heavy iron chains on the cliffs of the Caucasus Mountains, letting him endure the torment of the scorching sun and heavy rain. Even so, Zeus still felt uneasy and sent a bloodthirsty eagle to eat Prometheus' liver every day. However, every time the bloodthirsty eagle pecks at it, Prometheus's liver will miraculously recover.

Prometheus endured great pain, but he did not regret or give in, and was willing to suffer for mankind. One day, Hercules came here to find the golden apple tree guarded by the Hesperides. He saw the evil eagle pecking at the liver of poor Prometheus, so he took out his bow and arrow and shot the cruel evil eagle from the liver of the sufferer. Then he loosened the chain, freed Prometheus, and took him away from the cliff. But in order to meet Zeus's conditions, Hercules left Chiron, a centaur, on the cliff as a substitute. Although he could ask for eternal life, he was willing to sacrifice his life to save Prometheus.

You know, Prometheus is one of the very few Titans who supports Zeus!

Prometheus was born to Iapetus and Clymene, the sons of Gaia and Uranus, and was a brother of Epimetheus. In the Titan War led by Zeus and Cronus, Prometheus stood on the side of the new Olympian gods, which can be said to have helped Zeus a lot... Therefore, he was appreciated by Zeus and stayed on Mount Olympus.

Not only Prometheus, but even his own children, if they dared to resist him, Zeus would be merciless.

Zeus never cared about his two biological sons, Ares and Hephaestus. His two biological daughters were almost insignificant. Once, Hephaestus intervened in the quarrel between Zeus and Hera and stood on the side of his mother. In a rage, Zeus threw his ugly son from Mount Olympus to Lemnos, breaking his legs and making him disabled forever.

The reason why Zeus appeared when Ares was about to die was partly because of his father's nature, but more because of maintaining his own majesty!

He didn't like Ares, not at all, otherwise he would not have exiled and sealed Ares.

But if Ares was killed, Zeus would not be willing.

Because even if Ares is no longer a thing, he is still Zeus's own son! So Zeus said at that time that he was willing to compensate. After all, Ares had his own mission on Earth.

The gods left the Earth.

But they never abandoned the Earth, they were just not allowed to enter the Earth. But the specialness of the Earth made them unwilling to give up the Earth. It was an existence independent of fate. As long as they were still connected to the Earth, they would still be free and would not be drowned by the torrent of fate.

No one wants to be manipulated by others, even if it is fate.

Being controlled by fate is a very sad existence. Why Asgard does not enjoy itself like other gods, but is determined to make progress, is because they are swept away by fate. The previous generations of gods have seen the Ragnarok!

They are destined to perish.

Every Asgardian god king is extremely afraid of the Ragnarok, which is a disaster bestowed on them by fate. So they desperately make themselves stronger, hoping to better survive the Ragnarok. Generation after generation.

From this point of view, the Ragnarok is not entirely bad.

But this kind of future that knows that you will die is enough to make yourself despair.

The Pantheon naturally didn't want to do that, so almost every pantheon would leave behind means when leaving the Earth so that their connection with the Earth would not be severed. In order to resist fate!

It's funny to say that fate is not all bad.

When enjoying the gift of fate, no one will complain about the injustice of fate. Once the disaster comes, they begin to curse fate.

In short, Ares is such an existence. He was sealed on the Earth and became a statue forever. This neither violated the order of the immortals nor allowed Olympus to still have a connection with the Earth.

So Zeus begged for mercy... But even if this grandson begged for mercy, he was stiff and arrogant.

However, it didn't matter, because Kai still killed Ares without hesitation.

Majesty was offended, and the backhand was eradicated.

It's hard to say which of the two caused more "harm" to Zeus.

In short, Kai didn't want to meet Zeus.

On the one hand, it was because of guilty conscience... Hera and Zeus were husband and wife after all, and they didn't divorce, although their relationship broke down. But you have to know that Kai put a hat on Zeus a long time ago.

On the other hand, it was completely unnecessary.

If he loses, he might die!

Although with Zeus's character, if Kai is really defeated, it will be difficult for Kai to die.

At that time, he will be worse than death. This grandson has a very strong desire for revenge!

For example, Prometheus stole the fire from the sky for mankind and angered Zeus. He was locked up in the Caucasus Mountains by Zeus and endured inhuman torture. Although he was tortured, he was still unwilling to surrender to Zeus, which made Zeus even more angry. In order to calm his anger, this time he set his sights on Prometheus's younger brother Epimetheus, because it was he who gave his brother the idea. Zeus wanted to use Epimetheus to punish mankind and Prometheus.

So Zeus called a meeting of the gods on Mount Olympus and told them his idea. Then the gods came up with a great way to punish the humans created by Epimetheus and Prometheus. Zeus asked Hephaestus, the god of craftsmen, to mix mud and river water to make a peerless beautiful girl in the image of the goddesses, and then asked the gods to give the girl various talents and abilities. Athena put a gorgeous dress on the girl, put on a beautiful veil, and put a wreath and a gold necklace on her. Apollo gave the girl a nightingale-like voice, Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, gave her charming charm, and Hermes, the messenger of the gods, taught her the language of humans. Finally, the gods gave the girl a nice name - Pandora. It means a woman with all talents.

Then, Zeus asked Hermes to bring Pandora to the world and gave it to Epimetheus, and told him that this was the wife Zeus betrothed to you, and you must take good care of her. When Epimetheus saw the beautiful Pandora, he was immediately fascinated and could not wait to marry Pandora. When Epimetheus agreed to marry Pandora, he came to the Caucasus Mountains and told Prometheus the good news. Prometheus knew Zeus's character and told Epimetheus to be careful, because the gods would not be particularly good to a person for no reason. Although Epimetheus promised his brother to be careful, his brother's warning had already flown away when he thought of the beautiful and charming Pandora.

Just before Pandora's wedding, Zeus called Pandora to him and gave her an exquisitely made jewelry box, but said to Pandora: "You should never open this box. If you don't listen to me and open this box, you will regret it." This is the most vicious way Zeus used to retaliate against mankind, because when creating Pandora, other gods gave her the talent to become better and more beautiful, but Zeus gave Pandora a curiosity, a curiosity that wanted to know everything. It can be seen that Zeus has extremely vicious intentions.

After Epimetheus married Pandora, the two lived a happy life, but what Epimetheus didn't know was that Pandora was always tortured by the jewelry box given to her by Zeus. When she saw the jewelry box, she was curious about what was inside, but when she thought of Zeus' words, she retracted her hand and gradually became haggard. Epimetheus saw the changes in his wife and knew that she must be hiding something from him. After his repeated questioning, Pandora told him about the jewelry box. After knowing the truth, he immediately understood Zeus' intentions and regretted not listening to his brother's advice. But things had come to this point and there was no way, so he repeatedly told Pandora not to open the box. If it was opened, it would bring disaster to herself and even mankind. The frightened Pandora also temporarily suppressed her curiosity. Epimetheus also reminded Pandora every day not to open the box.

Every time Epimetheus reminded her, Pandora's curiosity increased a little. Finally one day, Epimetheus went hunting in the mountains after instructing Pandora. Pandora could no longer suppress her curiosity and immediately took out the beautiful jewelry box and opened it impatiently. As soon as the box was opened, thick black smoke came out of it and flew into the sky. In an instant, the whole sky was filled with black smoke. It turned out that Zeus filled the box with famine, disaster, war, plague, sin, greed, jealousy, disease and other disasters. These black smokes quickly spread to the whole world. Pandora was panicked and knew that something was wrong when she saw this situation. She quickly closed the box, but what Pandora didn't know was that the box contained the last thing Zeus gave to the world - hope.

From then on, those disasters were rampant among humans, wandering in the world day and night. They were not easily noticed by humans, but they had been harming the world. Only Epimetheus knew why humans suffered so many disasters. He regretted that his greed destroyed the humans created by his brother. When Prometheus saw that humans were really suffering, he was very heartbroken. But the only comfort for Prometheus was that the hope locked in the box was still there. It was this little bit of hope that allowed humans to continue in the many disasters.

If Kai fell into Zeus' hands... he didn't even dare to think about it.

This guy is very talented in torturing people.

So Kai hurriedly asked: "When can the Temple of Omniscience be opened?"

After hearing this, Eros's face immediately became wrinkled: "No one knows..."
