Chapter Forty-Six: The Triumphant God of Olympus
Zeus gave orders to the gods, and was the first to chase after Griffin, the eagle-headed lion-winged, griffon-like monster. Although it has wings and is extremely fast, how can it escape the pursuit of the Sky God King, it was immediately chased by Zeus and captured in his own hands.
Next up is the three-headed dog Cerberus, a monster with three python tails and snake mane and lion's claws, captured by Hades, the king of Hades, who pursues him. Hades grabbed it, thinking of Tartarus, the lord of hell who loved it very much, and a rare smile appeared on his grim face, it seemed that it could be exchanged for a good price.
Cerberus's best brother is the two-headed dog Otellus, a two-headed python-tailed monster who is targeted by Hera, the queen of heaven. Watching the five-colored peacock fly from afar, it knew that it couldn't run away, so it lay on the ground and begged for mercy. Hera took out a golden rope and tied it firmly.
Because Triton was injured by the three gorgons sisters, Poseidon ignored the other monsters and ran for them. The three Krakens were also clever and fled in three ways, and were eventually caught by two of Poseidon, but in the end they ran away from Medusa, the one who seriously injured his son, and Poseidon was angry, and waved his trident and took the lives of the other two Gorgons. Then he looked at his territory, the boundless sea, and snorted coldly, he could only catch the banshee later.
The remaining monsters, the irascible hydra Hydra, were captured by Artemis in the deep woods, Athena captured Kemera, the cunning sphin-headed monster, and his good brother, the great and swordless Nemean Lion, was knocked unconscious by Hephaestus and brought home.
Apollo captured the sphinx, the sphinx, who had the head of a human and a winged python, and the conceited and arrogant Sphinx, Ares captured the female krench Squira, who once sprayed his stinking face, the dragon Colchis, who loved to snatch gold, silver and precious stones, was caught by Aphrodite, the god of love and beauty, Demeter captured the cunning female boar Cromion, and finally Rathon, the beast dragon who was so beloved by Typhon, was captured alive by the mighty goddess Hestia, the eldest sister of the god king.
Typhon fled, and his wife, Ekedna, was killed by a mysterious arrow. Twelve monsters, except for the two Gorgon sisters who died, and one Medusa who escaped, all fell into the hands of the main god of Olympus, and those little monsters either escaped or were killed, and there was no longer a living one on Mount Olympus.
In this way, the war between the god Olympus and the ancestor of all demons caused a sensation in the whole world of Kaos, which made all the gods pay constant attention, and in the end, it was the god Olympus who won a complete victory, and they did not even die a single god.
The gods watching the battle knew that the rise of the god Olympus was unstoppable, and they would officially establish themselves as the rulers of the gods. All the gods were in mixed moods and silently left Olympus and returned to their own gods.
······
Above the ocean, seeing that the war was over, the giants who called themselves Tagantes left the sea with joy, and they were so excited that they laughed as they went.
However, the two sea gods sitting here were not so happy, and the dispute began on the calm island again.
"Son of Pontus, go and tell Pontus that there are only two owners of this sea, and that is my daughter Amphitrite, and his husband, Poseidon of Olympus. The time when you dominated the seas has passed, and if you still want to obtain the priesthood of the god of the sea, you have only one choice, and that is to surrender to my son-in-law Poseidon. Otherwise, war awaits you. ”
The speaker was the father of the three thousand sea gods and the three thousand ocean goddesses, the lord of the sea, the Titanian god Okeanos, his words were sharp, although his voice was not loud, full of threats to the god system of Pontus.
"You ······" Even the kindest son of Pontus, the old man of the deep sea, Nereus, couldn't help but laugh angrily, the longest of the Titans, he turned his face really fast.
A few days ago, the two sides were still discussing and reaching an agreement on how to overthrow Poseidon, the sea king, and it was very enthusiastic. In the tone of the Titan's tone at that time, not only Poseidon was abandoned by them, but even his daughter Amphitrite was left out by him.
Now that the Great War of Olympus is over, he immediately changed his attitude, and immediately swore to defend Poseidon's interests to the death, and did not hesitate to start a war with himself.
The children of Okeanos had the same expression that the older ones should have, and the younger ones couldn't help but cover their eyes and couldn't bear to look at them. They were well aware of their father's moral character.
But they all knew very well that Okeanos was like this for the sake of their children. Otherwise, as a dignified Titan, how could he constantly curry favor with Zeus and Poseidon, the two descendants, and how could he face the powerful ancient sea god so shamelessly.
"Alright, let's go. If they want to fight, then they will fight, we are not Uria gods, let others slaughter. The danger of the sea Keto said lightly.
After the departure of the main gods of the Pontus gods, Okeanos and Tessis each sighed, and for the first time they felt regret that they had given birth to so many children. They can only hope that these children will become strong as soon as possible, so that they will not be afraid of any force.
······
In the past few months, with the afterglow of the great victory over the demon beasts, the banquet on Mount Olympus has been singing and dancing, Zeus looked at the happy gods, and even went down to the stage himself, dancing with the muses, accompanied by Apollo, the scene was extremely harmonious. The gods were constantly drinking and talking, truly like a family, full of pride in being an Olympian god.
Since the Battle of the Hundred Years Agotan, Zeus took over the god-king scepter of Kronos and became the new king of the gods. His heart was never at peace, and he was constantly worried that his throne would be taken away. In a hundred years, he left Olympus no more than ten times, and more than half of them, of course, went to hook up with the goddess.
It was during those descent that he became acquainted with the goddess of the sea, Eurynoma, and had the three goddesses of beauty; he caught up with his third sister Hera, deceived her into Olympus, and after becoming a god, he also gave birth to two sons, Hephaestus and Ares; he pestered his aunt Menemosine and returned to Olympus with nine muses; he hooked up with his second sister Demeter and had a daughter Persephone; he met the black-robed goddess Leto and gave birth to Artemis and Apollo, a pair of warriors.
Before that, there was also the goddess of wisdom Metis and the goddess of justice Themis who voluntarily united with him, the former was swallowed by him and gave birth to Athena, and the latter had no relationship with him, but brought his daughters to Olympus as gods with the three goddesses of fate and the three goddesses of time.
Thinking of this, Zeus was half proud and half ashamed, and he was united with these goddesses, even he himself could not say how much was because of love and how much was because of profit.
But none of this matters, in the future time, he can go down the mountain at will and pursue the woman he loves wantonly, without thinking about the combination of interests. Of course, the premise is that he will not let his jealous wife know.
Zeus looked at the two brothers next to him, Hades and Poseidon. Presumably, with the east wind of this great victory and the shock of Olympus, they can also show their strength in their respective territories and become real kings.
Hades and Poseidon were indeed very happy at this time, they came to Olympus to participate in the war, and they came speculatively, and the final result did not disappoint them. Olympus' victory will be of great help to them in their respective realms.
Rhea, the goddess of time, sat on it, chatting with Themis, the goddess of justice, while another Titan, Manemosine, had long since left Mount Olympus and resumed her wandering career.
"What are you thinking, absent-minded?" Rhea asked, looking at Themis as if she was on her mind.
Themis looked at the happy gods and whispered, "Who shot that arrow?"
Rhea was stunned and wondered, "Don't you have an oracle?
The oracle in her mouth was the prophetic oracle of Delphi, originally owned by Gaia, the mother of the earth, and finally passed on to Themis. Themis is the most blessed of the Titans, and she wields many powerful artifacts. The Oracle of Prophecy is just one of them, and there are three artifacts, namely the Balance of Justice, the Sword of Punishment and the Punishment Rod, which make the gods extremely afraid of being punished by her.
"I gave the oracle to Fauber. Themis said lightly.
"Why?" Rhea was puzzled for a moment, although Themis had many artifacts, but in terms of effectiveness, I am afraid that the prophecy oracle was even greater. After all, if you can predict the future, what an advantage.
"After the last time Coos and Fauber came to Olympus, I went to them, assured them that nothing would happen to the Leto sisters and their children, and gave her the oracle to give one of Leto's children. Themis looked at the gods who were feasting, and whispered, "Therefore, they also promised not to cause trouble on Olympus again." ”
Rhea was stunned for a moment, and then showed admiration and gratitude to Themis. If Coos and Fauber were still against Olympus, as they had been before. If nothing else, Artemis and Apollo, her two powerful grandchildren, would have had a hard time staying on Mount Olympus. Now Themis sent the oracle and finally passed it on to the son of Leto, that is, Olympus did not have any loss, but two more gods with great potential.
And the only thing that has losses is the goddess of justice next to Themis.
Hearing Rhea's thanks, Themis didn't care, she was willing to send the oracle out, and she had her own reasons. Just like Gaia, the original Earth Mother, also gave up the power of prophecy and gave her the oracle in her hand.
······
Suddenly, Zeus's messenger, the rainbow goddess Aerys, came and delivered a message to Zeus, who was drinking for fun, and Zeus left the hall where he was feasting alone.
