Chapter 572: Are You Willing to Take Over the Underworld
Zeus was the king of the divine realm in the end, and when the other gods continued to wait and see, he gave an order and flew towards Xu Jing alone.
Xu Jing glanced at the gods who were still standing in place, restrained the urge to attack Zeus, remained vigilant, and did not avoid it.
Soon, Zeus came a meter in front of him, and the two sides looked at each other.
"Although you killed my brother, he is also to blame, but the underworld cannot be left without an owner for a day, Medusa, I hope you can go to the underworld and sit there instead of Hades."
“……”
A hint of surprise flashed on Xu Jing's face, he really didn't expect Zeus to let him control the underworld, you must know that the other party was still attacking him a moment ago.
And Zeus's decision was obviously just decided, and as soon as his voice fell, the gods in the sky who were listening to the movement all changed their faces.
"No! I'm against it! ”
Athena was the first to jump out, and although she didn't leave where she was, her voice came clearly as her lips squirmed.
Immediately afterwards, Poseidon and Ares also spoke out against it, and Apollo also expressed his dissatisfaction.
The twelve main gods, the most capable of fighting, were all on the same front at this moment, expressing their opposition to Zeus's words.
As for the other gods, although they did not object, no one expressed their support, and they looked like they were waiting and watching.
Xu Jing was silent, neither agreed nor refused, and looked at Zeus, a little confused about what medicine was sold in the other party's gourd.
Zeus turned his head, glanced at the gods, and said, "Have you forgotten what Hades did before?" If it weren't for Medusa, what would happen to each of us, you still don't know what the consequences would be? ”
Hearing his words, the gods' faces softened, and then some nodded in agreement, some remained silent, but some remained unimpressed.
"If anyone else objects, let them run the underworld."
Zeus snorted coldly, his gaze swept over Athena and Poseidon, and finally stared at Ares.
The gods were in a commotion, and now even Athena and other gods, who had been opposing, were silent.
The underworld is not a good place, and to go there is to be banished from Mount Olympus.
No one wants to govern the underworld, because that would also mean changing the priesthood, losing the respect and worship of human beings, and suffering hatred and fear.
Although it does not require faith and may become stronger, who wants to go to hell and suffer never-ending suffering for the gods who are accustomed to a good and rotten life?
The reason why Hades wanted to betray the gods was because he was fed up with that kind of pain and compared to the lives of other gods, so he was unwilling.
"Are you willing to take over the underworld, Medusa?" After Zeus subdued the gods with a threat, he turned his head and looked at Xu Jing, "Or do you plan to refuse and become an enemy of Mount Olympus?" ”
Xu Jing still didn't understand Zeus's thoughts, he not only killed Hades, but also killed Perseus, he didn't believe that the other party would have no idea.
And he didn't want to start a war with the gods right now, facing twelve gods at once, even if he could only flee in the wilderness.
In addition, he is still a little tempted to control the underworld.
"Okay, I'm willing to take over the underworld."
After Xu Jing thought about it, he made a decision, no matter what conspiracy Zeus had, as long as he responded to all changes with the same, it was a big deal to withdraw and leave.
Seeing that Xu Jing agreed, Zeus showed a smile on his face and said, "Very good, now, you pray to me." ”
"Pray?" Xu Jing finally understood, "You want to control me? ”
"No, it's not control." Zeus shook his head and denied, "It's just that the underworld is very important, there is also a terrifying existence and countless monsters sealed there, if they escape, you, me, gods and mortals, no one can escape, and this world will also go to extinction."
I am the Lord of the Heavenly Realm, and you pray to me just to determine the subordination, you control the underworld, but you have to obey me, it's as simple as that. ”
Xu Jing glanced at Zeus deeply, he was a god in the middle of the world, how could he not see through the mystery.
If it is just a mortal, praying to Zeus, as long as the faith is not deep, even if it is changed or no longer believed, it does not matter, because the gods do not care about an insignificant ant, nor do they care about one more or less faith.
But if you receive the attention of the gods and pray to the gods face-to-face, the nature is different.
As long as the gods are willing, they can take the life of prayer to themselves as godly.
The so-called gods, although they are also gods, have the same relationship with the main god as slaves.
The main god not only controls the life and death of the gods, but also can arbitrarily extract the faith and power of the gods, even if the attributes are not compatible, at most it will reduce the effect.
For mortals, being able to be a god with the privilege of being a god is simply a pie-in-the-sky thing, which means immortality, the protection of the gods, and the power of the gods.
But for an existence whose strength is not inferior to that of the gods, it is nothing, it is simply more than worth the loss, and it will be difficult to even get out of control at that time.
Xu Jing snorted coldly in his heart, he knew Zeus's thoughts well, the other party was deceiving him for his lack of knowledge, in his opinion, Zeus's family basically didn't have a good thing.
At the beginning, Cronus was instigated by Gaia, castrated and overthrew his father Ouranos with a scythe, and occupied Gaia, and he was afraid that he would be overthrown in the future, so as soon as the child was born, he swallowed it into his belly, but in the end it was overthrown by the three Zeus brothers.
In the process of overthrowing Kronos, Hades paid the most, he was wise, just and strong, and created a terrifying kraken with his own flesh and blood to confront Kronus head-on, but after the deed was completed, he was deceived by Zeus and banished to the underworld, excluded from the main god.
After Zeus obtained the throne of god-king, he vigorously suppressed dissidents, and those gods who had supported Hades in the family infighting were all stripped of their power and turned into mortals.
This time Hades's conspiracy almost made him lose everything, Hades's death, he may be unbearable and sad, but he also saw the opportunity to control the underworld.
When Hades was there, it was difficult for Zeus to intervene in the underworld, but now that Hades is dead, how can he let the underworld no longer be controlled.
However, the environment of the underworld is too harsh, and he has to bear the hatred of people, and even in that environment, he becomes a terrifying monster, whether it is himself or other gods, no one wants to manage it himself.
Xu Jing could think that his appearance was the best opportunity Zeus saw, after all, he was isolated and hated by many gods.
It is conceivable that if he didn't agree today, Zeus would definitely not let him go easily.
