Chapter Forty-Seven: Seeking a priesthood and pointing the way to all beings
"Goddess Styx, are you calling me out alone, is there any urgency?"
In Zeus's god-king palace, the god-king Zeus looked at the beautiful and plump goddess in front of him with a strange expression. Of course, he would not be confident that this goddess secretly came to his palace, and there were two young gods, a man and a woman, who came to make love to him.
Besides, even if Styx wanted to fall in love with him, he didn't dare. This goddess, although as plump and seductive as Demeter, provokes reverie, but her temper is far worse than Demeter's. She is a powerful being who pushes her husband into the abyss of Tartarus with her own hands, and many years ago, no male god dared to think about her.
Styx, who was dressed in black robes, smiled slightly: "This time, I came here to bring your son to the God King." With that, Styx pointed to Adros behind him.
Zeus looked at the young man in front of him, but he was only fourteen or fifteen years old, with a kind of friendly smile, and he was constantly looking at him.
"You say you're my son?" Zeus asked.
"Son of Leto, Adros has seen His Majesty the God-King. Adros bowed to the god-king who sat on the throne, and upon closer inspection, he did have a face more attractive than Hades and Poseidon. Compared with him, Hades seems to be silent and gloomy, Poseidon seems to be wild and frivolous, but the temperament of this god-king has no bias, masculine and delicate and gentle, worthy of the poison of female creatures, female goddesses and even female animals cannot escape his clutches.
Zeus frowned and looked at this black-haired and black-eyed young man, who was indeed very similar to Leto, and couldn't help asking: "Since you are Leto's son, why don't you go directly to the Temple of the Gods to feast with your mother and brothers, but instead come to see me secretly with the goddess of oaths?"
Hearing Zeus's question, Adros smiled and said, "Come to see the god king privately, but there is a gift to give, and after the gift, there is still something to ask for." โ
"Oh. For this son who does not call his father, Zeus couldn't help but have a trace of interest, and said with a faint smile: "What kind of gift, if I like it, why not approve your request." โ
"His Majesty the God-King will like it. With that, Adros took out a long black arrow, purple patterns and red blood.
"It's you. Zeuston's heart was moved, and an arrow from outside the sky killed Ekedna and wounded Typhon badly, and he consulted with the gods for a long time, but he could not guess who shot it. โ
Zeus didn't even have to look at it to know that the long arrow was real, and he remembered the cold curse on it, and the residual breath of Typhon and his wife.
Zeus kept tapping on the throne, not knowing what he was thinking, and suddenly saw Adros take the arrow back again, and couldn't help but wonder: "Didn't you give a gift? Why did you take it back again?"
"The gift to His Majesty the God-King is Typhon's wife, Ekedna, and as for this long arrow, I only have this one, and I am reluctant to give it away. โ
Listening to Adros's words, Zeus's brows stretched slightly, and if there was only one, it was not unacceptable, and then asked, "What are you asking for here?"
"I heard that His Majesty the God King is going to canonize the priesthood of the gods tomorrow, although I am not talented, I also want to ask for a priesthood in Olympus. โ
"It's very well informed. Zeus couldn't help but laugh, "What do you think you can be?"
Not minding Zeus's ridicule at all, Adros nodded: "It is indeed the god of the North Star, but the North Star is an important star for all beings to identify the direction, and I would like to ask the God King to give another god of direction and path by the way, and show the way for the gods and spirits." โ
"The god of direction and path?" Zeus thought for a moment, and then said, "Okay, I will give you this priesthood." โ
"Then thank you, Your Majesty the God King. Adros hurriedly thanked: "There is nothing else, so I won't disturb the God King's drink." โ
"Wait. Zeus stopped them, "Your mother and they are drinking and having fun in the main hall, won't you go with them? And the goddess Styx, your children are also there, why don't you go with them?"
Stix shook her head, she had no interest in Olympus, and she didn't want to come up this time if it weren't for Adros' need for her to lead the way.
Adros said, "You don't have to do it today, and after tomorrow, you will have a drink with everyone." โ
After they had gone, Zeus sat alone in the temple for a while, and then went back to drink and sing with the gods, and he said nothing about what had just happened.

"Adros, do you really want to go to Olympus for a priesthood?" asked Styx.
"Yes, a god like me, who can only remotely control the power of the North Star, is difficult to echo with nature, and is difficult to communicate with the law, how can he have a suitable priesthood if he doesn't come to the Divine Court?"
"In your case, you have been in the River Styx, and it is destined to be difficult to communicate the law, even if you have a priesthood, it is difficult to become the main god. Styx couldn't help but get worried.
"Just give it a try, at least Mount Olympus is safe now, and you don't have to worry about your life. Adros reassured. In fact, he also knows his own situation very well, and he basically doesn't need to think about the law of communication to become the main god, he just wants to test whether merit, willingness, and luck, which are famous in other worlds, can be useful in this world.
These few magical things, in the cultivation world of the previous life, especially in Buddhism, are equivalent to hanging existences, how could Adros not be moved.
"Hey, even if you choose a priesthood, you should also choose something that covers a wide range of areas, your priesthood is too simple. โ
Hearing Styx's words, Adros was puzzled, could it be that there was still knowledge in choosing the priesthood, and hurriedly asked Styx.
"Did you know that there is a gap between the Lord God?"
Adros nodded hurriedly, he had already discovered this, the same main god, Zeus was stronger than the other main gods of Olympus, Hestia was stronger than Demeter, and Styx was also more powerful than Eurynoma.
"Ordinary gods can only borrow the power of the laws of heaven and earth through divine power, and the main god can directly combine the laws of heaven and earth with divine power, so it is even more powerful. Therefore, the power of the main god is mainly reflected in the two points of divine power and law. โ
Adros also understood that divine power comes from the power of the gods themselves, and the law is a gift from heaven and earth. The combination of the two is the powerful essence of the gods, and if they rely on divine power alone, the gods may not be the opponents of human beings. Achilles, the future demigod hero, defeated many gods with brute force.
"Divine power is easy to say, although you are not the main god, but it is also an example, you are powerful in divine power, and many gods may not be your opponent by borrowing the laws of heaven and earth. And you look at Typhon, there is basically no law, but the divine power is amazing, and the main god of Olympus is firmly suppressed. Of course, Typhon is only a special case, and ordinary main gods will not have such great power. โ
Hekate suddenly laughed on the side: "Could it be that Adros also wants to follow the path of Typhon and rely on brute force to hang up and fight the main god?"
Adros glared at the lawless god, then motioned for Styx to continue.
Styx also smiled, feeling that this young female god of Adros was really interesting, shook his head and continued: "For most of the main gods, the difference between them is mainly reflected in the law, which is also divided into two situations. First, the law itself is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, for example, the power of my oath is a top-level law power, and many low-level laws are difficult to resist. โ
"The second situation is that the laws covered by the divine power of each main god are somewhat different. The most general main god, the divine power can only cover one law, and it must not be the opponent of the main god of multiple laws, such as the wind god and rain god, their strength is the most general. Speaking of which, if I hadn't been strong because of the power of the oath, I would have been a little stronger than them. โ
Adros was noncommittal about this, he knew that in addition to the power of oath, Styx also had the power of hatred.
Stix continued, "So the more talented the Lord God, the more laws their divine power can cover. These gods, when they become law gods, or choose some gods with strong growth, such as sea gods, mountain gods, river gods, etc., on the one hand, it is easy to find their own suitable laws, and on the other hand, they will not bind themselves. There are even some gods who directly choose a highly covering priesthood, and directly put all the laws that can be matched with themselves into it, these gods are not only powerful, but also grow extremely fast. โ
After listening to Styx's words, Adros suddenly realized why the gods of Olympus in the future were basically some vain god names, such as the goddess of wisdom, the goddess of hunting, the goddess of marriage, etc., without referring to specific laws, it turned out to be this reason.
"Of course, there are more special cases, becoming the king of the gods. At the time of the Battle of Titan, the three brothers of Zeus and the others were not much different from me, but only a hundred years later, I already thought that I was not as good as me. Especially Zeus, I feel that he has not done his best this time, and deliberately suppressed his power at a level similar to that of Hades Poseidon. โ
Styx's words are a bit unbelievable, but Adros thinks it's very likely that these three brothers have a very complicated relationship, supporting each other and wrestling in secret.
"So, it's a bit of a loss for you to choose the priesthood this time, the god of the road and direction is too single, and if you can catch up with any law in the future, it will be more troublesome to change. โ
Adros didn't mind and said, "Anyway, if you can't use the power of the laws of heaven and earth, it doesn't matter." โ
The power and potential of the god's name of the path and direction, he didn't expect the other gods to understand.
"It's hard to see you again, but it looks like it's hard to see you again. After a long time, Stix stroked his handsome face and sighed.
Looking at Hecate's smiling expression next to him, Adros had to be embarrassed and said, "I go to see you every year, Aunt Styx." โ
"Remember your words. Stix pinched his face, then turned away, only to hear the words from afar.
Looking at the back of this goddess aunt who was too good to him, Adros was inevitably a little sad in his heart, but there was no way, he had his pursuit, and it was impossible to always be next to anyone. It's a long road, and you can only go alone, and you may stop along the way, but you can't settle down.
