Chapter 643: The Gods' Misunderstanding
Zeus used lightning to stop Pei Ziyun from pursuing Hercules, so that he missed the opportunity to kill, and in the face of Zeus's power, Pei Ziyun could only stop the pursuit and withdraw the power in space.
Hercules fell to the ground, his face full of indignation, his expression distorted, he was invincible when he was alive, even the gods had confronted him head-on, and he had developed a temper of self-respect, but now he was defeated by Paris, and in an instant, the hatred of Paris was even greater than that of killing his parents, wife and children.
Hercules got up on the ground, took a deep look at Pei Ziyun, pressed the hatred in his heart, but did not continue to provoke, he was finally a battle-hardened warrior, he understood the essence of strength best, knew that he was not Pei Ziyun's opponent, and did not fall in love with the war, turned into a gust of wind, and rushed to Mount Olympus.
Mount Olympus
At the entrance to Mount Olympus, Hermes had been waiting for a long time, looking at the injured Hercules, and secretly shaking his head in his heart.
"Hercules, Zeus has been waiting for a long time, come with me. Hermes said, and Hercules, with a gloomy face, followed Hermes up Mount Olympus.
Hermes led Hercules to the main hall at the top of the mountain, Zeus sat on a high throne of ivory and gold, looked at Hercules who came in, frowned slightly, and said: "Hercules, you are jealous, rude, and aggressive, but although you were expelled by Hera and live in the depths of the earth (Note 1), I still can't bear your suffering, and Paion will heal you." β
"Great Father, terrible gods, thank you for your timely intervention, and thank you for your healing of me. Hercules said that he had no fear when he was mortal, and now he knew awe.
This attitude was very satisfying to Zeus, and his tone and expression slowed down: "You were defeated by Paris this time, don't take it to heart, it's not so much defeated by Paris, but defeated by fate, because you interfered with fate, understand?"
Zeus's words made Hercules feel a lot better, he had always been haunted by being defeated by a mortal, and now he heard that it was fate, which made him relax a lot.
After all, no god would laugh at that.
Paion got up from his seat and slowly walked towards Hercules, took out a golden ointment from his bosom, unscrewed the cap, and instantly emitted a pleasant fragrance.
This golden ointment is made with a variety of miraculous herbs, which can be said to be extremely precious, but Paion did not skimp and gently applied painkiller ointment to Hercules, and a few drops of ointment slowly dripped on the wound.
Because Hercules was already a god, he saw that the blood that flowed out was pale red, and different from the blood of mortals, and the ointment dripped into the wound, which quickly thickened and coagulated, and healed.
Hercules felt the burning wound suddenly cool, and his face changed from pain to relief, although he became a god, but after the injury, it still hurts.
The gods of Mount Olympus all had a strange feeling when they saw Hercules' injured expression, they had never seen the gods injured.
The last time Aphrodite and Ares were injured, they secretly returned to Olympus to deal with it on their own, without alarming the gods.
Hercules' wounds were quickly healed by Paiion's miraculous ointment.
The gods sitting around saw the effect of Pai'Eon's ointment, and they were all amazed, and they talked to each other that whoever was accidentally injured in the future could seek treatment from Pai'eon.
Seeing that Hercules' wounds had healed, Hera said, "Hercules, since your wounds are healed, leave Mount Olympus and go back to the formation!"
"That's where you live. β
Hera expelled Hercules, and there was no god on the scene to help, and Hercules did not argue with Hera, nodded silently, and turned to leave Mount Olympus.
Hercules did not have a priesthood, and it was not appropriate to remain in Olympus.
The gods all silently watched the figure of Hercules leaving, thoughtfully, for a long time, Zeus did not speak, and the whole hall fell into silence.
Many gods recall the battle between Hercules and Pei Ziyun just now.
Hercules' strength is still good, the gods couldn't imagine that Hercules was defeated at the hands of Paris, although this is the role of fate, but now Paris has not become a god, a mortal defeats a god, it is really an incredible thing.
After a long time, Zeus glanced at the gods present, and saw that everyone did not speak, so he said: "Immortal gods, you see, Paris is not Hercules' opponent, but when Hercules tried to interfere with fate, fate immediately showed its power, and Paris's strength suddenly increased. β
"If I hadn't stopped her, Hercules would have fallen today. β
"And this time if you go to any of your gods, you will also be attacked by fate, so fate is sometimes cruel, for you and for me. β
The gods nodded, agreeing with Zeus's statement that Paris would not be Hercules' opponent if it had not been for "fate" to increase his strength.
And once "fate" is corrected, Hercules is immediately in danger of falling.
Send a more powerful god to fight Paris, maybe Paris will become stronger under the interference of fate, and the gods who go will also be at risk of falling, the gods thought of this, and sighed at the impermanence and horror of fate.
"This is the power of destiny at the highest level. Zeus sighed, and he was also very envious of this power of fate.
Zeus is the king of the gods, but he has never been able to fully control the power of fate, and this is not the three goddesses of fate, Clotho, LachΓ©sis, and Atropos, whose power is not enough to influence Zeus.
But that kind of power of fate beyond it can make Zeus pay a heavy price, which Zeus can't accept calmly.
"In the future, if any of you want to interfere with fate, you must think about everything that happened today, this is a warning to us. β
The gods were in their hearts, knowing that Zeus's words made sense, fate is not unchangeable, the gods themselves are part of fate, interfering with fate at all times, but some fates can not be changed easily, otherwise fate will backfire, and there will be a danger of falling.
The gods have kept the Battle of Troy for so long, but in fact, it is not a certain fate trajectory, although there are some minor tweaks, but it is generally completed under the dominance of fate.
"We all know this, O great and terrible king of the gods, is it inevitable that Paris will become a god?" asked the god.
When the gods heard this, they all paid close attention.
There are very few gods who really want Pei Ziyun to become a god, even Apollo (Apollo) has reservations, if Pei Ziyun does not obtain the oracle of the goddess of fate, many gods on Mount Olympus will prevent him from becoming a god.
"Whether Paris becomes a god or not depends on what level of fate it is, in fact, it is more appropriate to ask our three venerable goddesses about this question. Zeus said, looking at the three goddesses of fate who were sitting in their seats drinking and drinking, and asked for their opinions.
The three goddesses of fate have been drinking and drinking themselves since they participated in this banquet, and did not participate in the discussion of the gods, seeing Zeus cast an inquiring gaze, knowing that he intended to get an answer from them, Laxis put down the wine glass: "After we knew that the new god was Paris, we asked about fate, fate revealed, Paris must become a god, there must be a ritual - it starts with the golden apple and ends with the golden apple." β
The gods present heard the words of the three goddesses of fate, and their expressions were different, especially the three goddesses who went to Mount Date to ask Pei Ziyun to divide the golden apple.
They went to Mount Date and picked a shepherd at random, who would have known that this shepherd would have achieved what he is today - to be promoted from a mortal to a god.
Hera was in a state of turmoil, she was the one of the gods who feared this matter the most, because Paris was acting so unexpectedly that she had a sense of fear beyond her control.
Athena's feelings for Pei Ziyun are much calmer, although she was very angry when she didn't get the golden apple, but after Pei Ziyun's unremitting efforts, her anger was relatively light, and she also provided shelter to Pei Ziyun.
The happiest of the three goddesses is Aphrodite, who promised to protect Paris when Pei Ziyun gave her the golden apple.
And with the continuous battles of the Battle of Troy, Pei Ziyun has emerged, more and more in line with Aphrodite's aesthetics, and now that Paris has become a god, Aphrodite has one more natural ally.
Among the immortal deities, the relationship is strong.
Zeus listened to the words of the three goddesses of fate and nodded.
"I see, tell Paris that if you want to become a god, you must go and seize Gaia's golden apple tree. Zeus said.
Hera immediately understood, smiled and said: "This is a good way, let Paris go and seize the golden apple tree, offend Gaia, even if he becomes a god, he has to rely on us." β
When the gods heard Hera's words, they all nodded, showing that they agreed with this approach.
"Now, let's save the Greeks. Hera continued.
After speaking, Hera waved away the clouds, only to see that after Hercules broke away, Pei Ziyun was even more fearless, chasing and killing the Greeks.
Odysseus was most vigilant, and at this time most of the men and goods were on board, ready to leave the sea.
The rest of the heroes were not waiting, but Agamemnon, the largest and the last to react, was roaring the order: "Hurry, hurry, bring the prisoners and goods." β
After a while, he changed his face and shouted: "Soldiers, for the glory of the Greeks, intercept." β
There were really some soldiers who rushed up, and the blood that killed Pei Ziyun was like a river, the camp was full of smoke, and the corpses were everywhere, a mess.
Seeing the Greeks being killed, although she knew that Pei Ziyun was about to ascend to the gods, she still couldn't watch Pei Ziyun wantonly slaughter the Greeks.
"Athena, you can go. Hera said to Athena.
Athena nodded, turned and walked out of the main hall to the bottom of Mount Olympus.
