Chapter 274 Prometheus Steals Fire

Sure enough, Zeus didn't seem to notice his hiding, and directly chose the pile covered with snow-white beef fat, which looked beautiful and big.

Zeus uncovered the beef fat, revealing the pile of beef bones underneath.

He shouted directly, "It seems that my friend, son of Iapetus, you have not forgotten your deceptive tricks!"

It was also because of this incident that Zeus directly punished and refused to provide humans with the last thing that was indispensable to life.

Fire!

And that choice also affected the subsequent sacrifices, and the subsequent sacrifices were all carried out according to Zeus's choice at that time.

The bones of the beef were offered to the gods, and the beef could be kept by humans for their own consumption.

His actions at that time did help people save food, but it also led to Zeus's refusal to provide fire to humans.

Prometheus' eyes were complicated.

Thinking about it at this time, he didn't know whether Zeus was really confused at that time, or deliberately chose that way, just to punish humans and refuse to provide fire to humans.

Just as he was thinking, a cry of pain suddenly came from not far away.

Prometheus turned around and saw a tall and thin man lying on the ground, holding his stomach and wailing.

He hurried back and checked.

"Prometheus, save me, my stomach hurts!" Ricardo wailed.

Prometheus looked at his side and found a piece of raw meat that had been eaten halfway, which was faintly emitting a foul smell, and there were flying insects hovering over it.

"Is this the stomachache caused by eating rotten raw meat?"

"If there was fire..."

Prometheus' eyes were filled with desire, and he subconsciously raised his head to look at the sun above his head, or the galloping sun chariot.

Hesitation flashed in his eyes.

...

Night fell.

In the dark night, birds and beasts were singing, and Hector and others gathered together trembling, frightened by the shouts coming from the darkness.

"What's that sound?"

"It's so scary, is it near us?"

"I'm so cold..."

In the dark corner, watching the humans shivering and gathering together, Prometheus finally made a decision in his heart.

He wants to steal fire for humans!

Only with fire can they get rid of the cold, no longer fear the beasts, and continue to develop!

Just when he made a decision in his heart.

...

Mount Olympus.

Looking at the dark earth, Zeus showed a satisfied smile on his face.

He wore a Greek-style white robe with intricate patterns embroidered on it. He was sturdy and muscular, and looked extremely strong.

He had a bright golden hair and a crown woven with olive branches, which showed his supreme status as a god.

His eyes were deep and bright, flashing with wisdom and authority, as if he could see through everything in the world. His face was firm and his nose was straight, revealing his unquestionable decisiveness and majesty.

"Prometheus, this is the price you pay for deceiving me. I don't think there will be fire. What will these humans do!"

Zeus was a little angry just thinking about it.

When dividing the cattle, he was indeed distracted and was thinking about another thing. When he reacted, he could only play along.

At that time, he was thinking about how to destroy humanity.

At first, humans were fine, but later he found that humans were gradually degenerating and had some disrespect for the gods.

In particular, he found that some humans had dirty ideas in their hearts. They had unrealistic ideas and wanted to become eternal and become gods!

Just a group of creatures!

Naturally, he could not tolerate such things.

So he refused to give humans the most important thing they needed to complete civilization, fire.

In a sense, fire symbolizes light, wisdom, and even eternity.

Once humans master fire, it will greatly enhance their abilities and wisdom, making them no longer fear God.

"Humph, Prometheus, you are so dedicated to helping humans, what are you thinking about..."

Zeus' eyes flickered.

…

The night passed.

When the goddess of dawn lit up the dawn, the god of light Apollo drove Helios' sun chariot and gradually rose from the horizon.

Prometheus hid in the clouds, holding a fennel stalk in his hand, looking at the sun chariot galloping in the distance.

No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

Four golden sun horses, covered with mysterious runes, made of gold, emitting light and heat, and the god of light Apollo standing on the frame, came into his sight.

The sun chariot emitting blazing flames whizzed past his sight, leaving a road of flames in its place.

While this road of flames did not disappear, Prometheus held up the fennel stalk and hurriedly approached to take the fire.

After receiving the fire, he protected the fire and flew towards the ground.

...

After flying to the human gathering place, Epimetheus, who was also nearby, immediately discovered Prometheus and the object in his hand.

"Is this... a fire?"

"Brother!"

Epimetheus was shocked at first, and then a worried look appeared on his face, "Is this a gift from Zeus, brother?"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything." Prometheus said, holding up the fennel stalk, "Go set up the altar and light the fire."

Soon, Epimetheus and many humans went to set up the arrangement.

As time passed, flames rose one after another.

When the night fell again, many humans suddenly laughed loudly.

"Haha, with fire, those damn beasts should never come near again!"

Looking at the wolves and tigers outside the gathering place, whose eyes were shining but dared not approach, Terry and others were overjoyed.

At the same time, they also set up a fire and roasted cooked food that they had never eaten before.

"Is this cooked food? It's really good..."

Looking at the humans who were no longer afraid of the night and the cold, Prometheus smiled.

However, while he and the humans were happy here, Zeus on Mount Olympus soon saw the piles of fire appearing on the dark earth at night.

"What's going on!"

"Prometheus, did you do this?!"

Prometheus was summoned by Zeus and questioned.

Beside him, there were gods such as Apollo, the god of light, and Athena.

Facing Zeus's questioning and Apollo and other gods' doubtful eyes, Prometheus had already thought of an explanation.

He quickly said, "This matter has nothing to do with me. It was caused by Apollo accidentally setting the trees on fire when he drove Helios' chariot past."

Hmm?

Facing his statement, Zeus did not believe it very much, but his eyes still looked at Apollo, who was tall, handsome, and had blond hair, ready to see what he would say.
