Chapter 1: The Rite of Olympus
Helios, the god of the sun, came out early in the morning on the sun, and according to the will of the god-king Zeus, today is a big day, and the sun must be shining.
Except for Helios, who had a mission to survey the heavens, all the gods who belonged to Olympus or were related to Olympus came to the temple of the gods early, that is, Gaia, the grandmother of the god-king Zeus, and the original mother goddess also came.
Of course, there are also some gods who have nothing to do with Olympus, but also come to watch the ceremony. This time, the god-king Zeus sent his divine envoy, the rainbow goddess Aerys, to spread all over the heavens and the earth, and the god-king Zeus will officially divide the Olympian gods today, inviting the gods of heaven and earth to come and watch the ceremony.
Zeus sat on the throne and was very happy to see the dozens of gods belonging to Olympus below, and the hundreds of gods who came to watch.
His gaze swept over the gods, and beside him, the goddess Themis, who presided over justice and order, struck her penal rod and shouted solemnly, "Silence." ”
The originally noisy and chaotic temple of the gods immediately became quiet, this charming but powerful goddess has a strong binding force on the gods.
God King Zeus coughed and said slowly: "Typhon, the ancestor of all demons, is cruel and absurd, causing great slaughter and destruction on the earth and the sea, and the gods are afraid of his strength, so they avoid fighting him. However, I, the gods of Olympus, with incomparably strong courage and wisdom, were not afraid of sacrifice, fought the most resolute battle against Typhon, and finally won the victory. ”
His words, which can be said to have been brewing for a long time, show the spirit and will of Olympus. However, in the hearts of the gods, they can only keep hehe, Typhon's spearhead is pointing at Olympus, if you don't fight, it is difficult to let others fight.
Ignoring the thoughts on the minds of the gods below, Zeus continued, "The gods of Olympus, especially my siblings and children, have made great contributions to this battle and deserve to be rewarded by the divine court. In addition, I have been on the throne of the god king for nearly a hundred years, and I have never summoned the gods. Therefore I have summoned the gods and proclaimed the division of the priesthood of Olympus to the heavens and the earth. ”
"Hades, Persephone. ”
Hades and Persephone stood up together and saluted Zeus. This is something they have said a long time ago.
Zeus looked at his brother and daughter in front of him, and said slowly: "Hades, you are my eldest brother, I once promised you to be the king of the underworld. Now the gods testify that as long as I, Olympus, are still around, then you and Persephone will be the king and queen of the underworld for one day, and you will have the support of all the gods of Olympus. ”
Hades put his right hand on his left shoulder and bent down to salute Zeus: "Hades will exercise the will of the god Olympus in the underworld." ”
Zeus nodded, motioned for the two of them to stand back, and summoned Poseidon next to him.
"Poseidon, you are my second brother, and I promised you to share the royal power with me. Today, the gods testify that you will be the only king of the sea in the Koos god system, and only through you can Olympus command the creatures of the sea. Terton your son will inherit and share in your glory. ”
Poseidon held his trident and held it high in the air: "Poseidon wants to sow the glory of Olympus on the ocean for the gods." ”
After he retreated, Zeus pointed to Hera next to him and said to the gods: "The goddess next to her, she is my beloved wife, she is the god of marriage, women and fertility, and she shares with me the power of thunder that intimidates the gods. ”
When all the gods heard this, they shouted in unison, "I have seen Your Majesty the Queen of God." ”
The noble and beautiful goddess Hera was full of joy, and even tears of excitement flowed from her face, a promise made by Zeus when he pursued her, and half of the throne of the god-king had now come true.
"Hestia, you are my eldest sister, and you have been fighting to protect Olympus since the Battle of Titan. You were originally the goddess of the flames, but now I have entrusted the fire of the world to you to protect and become the protector of the family. ”
Hestia, who had silver hair and a long body, was still as cold as ever, but nodded slightly: "Hestia is willing to be the protector of the fire and the family." ”
"Demeter, you gave birth to Persephone, the queen of the underworld, for my second sister. You are the goddess of the harvest, and now I have entrusted you with agriculture, and you will represent the gods and help mankind to produce. ”
Demeter's plump face moved slightly, and then, under Hestia's cold gaze, he stepped forward, answered "yes", and then retreated.
Seeing Demeter's expression, Zeus was also helpless, and he turned his head to look at Aphrodite, the most beautiful goddess who amazed the gods.
"Aphrodite, you came to Olympus at the most difficult time, and together with Olympus you defeated a strong enemy, and Olympus will always remember your merits. You are a representative of beauty, the most beautiful thing in the world, is undoubtedly love, from today on, you will become the god of love and beauty recognized by the gods. ”
Aphrodite stood up and saluted Zeus.
When Zeus saw this extremely beautiful goddess, he couldn't help but shake his heart, forcibly fixed his mind, and his eyes wandered, but he saw the young man with a calm face in the pile of gods, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of regret in his heart.
However, regret did not help, and Zeus set his sights on his beloved daughter Athena, a daughter who had perfectly inherited the virtues of both his and Metis.
"Athena, my beloved daughter, your own head was born, inheriting the wisdom of your mother. As of today, you will become the new Goddess of Wisdom, and as compensation for you, I allow you to share their priesthood from the gods. ”
Athena was full of smiles and glowed with a charming light that dazzled the gods. She slowly looked around at the gods, as if thinking about which gods to share.
"Artemis, too, as my favorite daughter. You and your brother have been through hardships since childhood, and Olympus has not given you shelter, but you still choose to stand with Olympus. As a token of your apology and gratitude, you will become the goddess of the hunt, granting you the same power as Athena and the priesthood you desire. ”
Artemis, who has a temperament like stars and moons, still had a cold face after listening to the words of the god king, and nodded in thanks.
"Apollo, you are my eldest son, and you have suffered as much as your sister. When you were born, the goddess of fate asserted that you would represent the light of Olympus. From this day forward, you are the god of light, you have come from the earth, and I promise you that you have the power to obtain all the priesthoods related to mankind. ”
By this time, the gods had fully recognized Zeus's affection for the three gods Athena, Artemis, and Apollo, and in order to facilitate their becoming more powerful gods, the priesthood was left to them. Especially after he told him about the arrangements for the next few children, the gods thought that these three young gods were extraordinary.
"Hephaestus, my former abandoned son, your talent and diligence have earned you all the honor. You are obsessed with blacksmithing, and I am as you wish, and you will be the god of fire and forging. The divine things you forge will be blessed by heaven and earth. ”
"Ares, my handsome young son, you are the only one of you who has grown up before my eyes. I will grant you the privilege of becoming the god of war of Olympus and fighting for me. You can get whatever the priesthood is in the hands of war. ”
It's not that Zeus doesn't want to treat everyone equally, it's just that each child has different talents, and he can't help it.
"The number of heaven and earth, with twelve being the most perfect state, therefore there are only twelve Titans, and the other sons of Ouranos have no such glory. Although there are many gods in Olympus, we should also be dominated by twelve gods, Hades, Poseidon, Hera, Hestia, Demeter, Aphrodite, Athena, Artemis, Apollo, Hephaestus, Ares, some of you may not be the main gods now, but the round table in the center of the temple of the gods is for you and me. Any dispute between heaven and earth, between the gods and all spirits, is decided by us. ”
After Zeus said this, he pointed to Themis, the goddess of justice next to him.
"And she, Themis, Lord of Justice and Order, will sit behind my God-King throne and make the fairest decision for me. ”
When Zeus first spoke, there may have been some people who were not satisfied, but at this time, none of the gods objected. The name of Themis, the goddess of justice, has been known to all the gods for a long time, and they all have great trust in this powerful Titan. Now that I heard that she would make the decision in place of the God King, they all agreed very much.
In addition, Zeus gave a sub-title to other gods who had contributed, such as Niki, the goddess of victory, who became the god of Athena, Kratos, the god of strength, who became the god of Hephaestus, Bea, the goddess of violence, who became the god of Ares, and Siros, the god of passion, who was still next to Zeus for the time being. In the future, he was given to Hermes by Zeus as a god.
You must know that becoming a suitable god is also a very important way for the growth of gods, Zeus personally measured their divine power for them and helped them choose the main god, which shows the importance and love for them.
As for the children of the Titans, the sun god and the moon god, Zeus originally wanted them to become the gods of Apollo and Artemis, but they refused to become the gods of the next generation. Zeus could only give them a chariot drawn by four fiery horses and a chariot drawn by two sacred cows to facilitate their priesthood.
There are also the three goddesses of grace born to Zeus and Eurynomus, who became the gods of Aphrodite, the nine muses born to Manemosine, who became the gods of Apollo, and the last three goddesses of time, who became the gods of Zeus and Hera, the queen of heaven, who are given the accusation of maintaining the natural and cyclical laws of life in the world.
"Adros, the son of Leto, will be the lord of the North Star, the god of direction and path, and the gods will witness together. ”
If the previous separation, although there are some discrepancies, the gods can understand it, but the division of the last god called Adros makes the gods scratch their heads.
Who is Adros?son of Leto, does Leto have this son?
