301. Moisturizing things silently
Amun had promised to "cooperate" with Zeus to accomplish a feat that would prop up a powerful city-state, punish Aaron and Kibada, truly unify the Heaton Peninsula, and then cross the Channel to the west and conquer the entire Persian Empire. Only a god like them would dare to imagine such a grand deed.
The city-state will be chosen by Amun, as long as the main god of the city-state is Zeus, and Zeus and Amun will cooperate as "gods" and "humans" respectively to promote this matter. Amun chose the Kingdom of Macedonia, a small state that would not only punish Aaron and Kibada and unify the Heaton Peninsula, but would also attack the Poz Empire in the future.
It's not that Amon chooses whoever has this achievement, but that the Macedonian kingdom has the best potential that Amon will choose it. After Amon made an agreement with Zeus, he has been acting as a mortal, waiting for the opportunity to rescue the mission led by Aristotle, and took Medanzo to follow the mission to the Macedonian kingdom, and Zeus sent an oracle at the right time.
Amon arrived in Macedonia, living in seclusion and unobtrusive, seemingly doing nothing, but what happened was going according to the plan of the two gods. A god like Amun does things so mysteriously, everything seems to be intentional or unintentional, and he seems to do everything, pushing it at the right time in a way that people don't perceive.
Only by looking back and thinking carefully can we suddenly realize.
Macedonia, which was politically stable internally and had no strong enemies outside, formed a completely new army. Philip II used this army as the main force, and the first target of his expedition turned out to be Delphi, the holy land of the United Kingdom of Heaton. Of course, the gods of Olympus knew that Amon was in Macedonia, and as soon as Philip II went on the expedition, even if the mortals did not know what Amon had done, the gods reacted.
Zeus's move, the first thing that touched the interests of some of the gods of Olympus, was about to break the pattern formed in the world since the war of the gods, which attracted the opposition of a group of gods led by Apollo, so the gods would break out in Delphi such a fierce battle. The oracles fought fiercely on earth, and the gods of Olympus quarreled fiercely in the kingdom of heaven, and the gods were divided into three factions.
One faction was naturally led by Zeus, the father of the gods, and supported the decision made by Zeus. The other faction, led by Apollo, includes seven of the twelve main gods of the Olympus god system, who were all winners of the war of the gods and goddesses, and accused Zeus of "colluding" with Amun to intervene in the disputes between the human city-states, violating the interests of the gods, and violating the agreement of the year.
There is also a faction headed by Themis, the goddess of fairness and justice, who represent mostly ancient gods before the war of the gods, who are relative neutrals and mediators in this conflict. Themis, in particular, has always played the role of arbiter of the gods' differences in the kingdom of God. Zeus first proposed that the human envoys make a truce and wait for the gods to reach a new agreement, and this proposal was supported by Themis, and Apollo and others also agreed.
Apollo's demand that Zeus make public the agreement between him and Amun, and explain the purpose of the dispute, what role and purpose Amun played in it, and this request was also supported by Themis.
Zeus then said everything calmly. He told the gods of his plans, which would bring greater benefits to the Olympian gods in the future, and also preached what Malduk had done. With the purpose of fusing the Divine Domain, Maldok came to the world as Darius and invaded the Olympian Divine Domain, and only by unifying the Olympian Divine Domain could he retaliate against Malduk's invasion.
Zeus is not only revenge for revenge, it is also a kind of verification for him, and for the entire Olympus god system, this is the first invasion of other gods, if there is no counterattack, how can it prevent similar events from happening in the future? Moreover, this is also good for the Olympian gods, which can shine the light of the gods throughout the Tianshu continent.
Zeus promised that in the future, with the expansion of the divine domain, the gods could guide believers and divine envoys in a wider range of human beings, and obtain more fields of divine power sources. Losses in internal strife will be more compensated for in external expansion. The gods were persuaded by him to reach a compromise and a new agreement, and the angels of the gods left the battlefield.
The gods of Olympus reached an agreement of "unanimity with the outside world", Zeus's purpose was achieved, and the rest of the matter depends on what the Macedonian kingdom does, and the gods will cooperate and help. Then there is one "man" who seems very glaring and redundant, and that is Amun, who still lives in the kingdom of Macedonia.
Amon did not come for the Olympian gods, but he agreed to cooperate with Zeus in order to explore his own path of verification. He is another lord of the kingdom of heaven, and the Olympian god system wants to seek benefits in expansion, so Amon's existence seems out of place, and sooner or later conflict will break out in the future.
Now that Amon is in Macedonia, there will be an inevitable impact on the kings of Macedonia, for example, Alexander has promised Medanzo - "If I can reach Eju one day, I will personally sacrifice to the temple of Amun and rebuild the temple of Isis!"
Even if Zeus could tolerate it, the gods of Olympus could not agree to it. On the other hand, a compromise was reached within the gods, and the contradictions of strife shifted to the outside world, and Amon became the target of Apollo and others' hatred. After all, they have suffered heavy losses in this strife, and if Zeus is not pursued, can't Amun be held accountable?
So Apollo proposed that Amon be expelled from the Olympian domain. Zeus objected because he had an agreement with Amun, and Amon had not broken it. The gods began to quarrel again, and Themis, who represented the neutral side, made a ruling: Amun could not be expelled in the name of Olympus, and the personal grievances of the gods should be dealt with and the consequences should be borne by themselves.
Zeus, the father of the gods, also approved the ruling, and when the gods reached a final agreement, Artemis rushed to remind Amun. She had the most special relationship with Amon among the Olympian gods, and was in the most awkward situation, so she came to the door as a girl and explained the situation with a straight face as soon as she entered.
Amon knew what was going on, and said gratefully, "Thank you for coming to see me and telling me all this under such circumstances, without fear of the suspicion of the gods?"
Artemis said angrily: "What am I afraid of? You have not broken the agreement, and you cannot expel you in the name of the Olympian gods, and the gods can only settle their personal grievances." With your personal relationship, of course, I want to remind you that even if someone is dissatisfied with you, they can't attack me. ”
Amon smiled and asked, "I'm a little curious, the battle between the gods and goddesses in the world is so fierce that many people have been killed. And the gods in heaven have been arguing and negotiating, and have not done it themselves?"
Artemis replied, "What is there to be curious about? When Zeus founded the kingdom of heaven, he made the gods swear that they should not make any move against another god over their internal affairs. When a god of the current god system challenges a god of the outer god line, he cannot attack the god of the god line. When a god of the outer god system challenges the god of the own god system, it is not possible to help the god of the outer god system. ”
Amon sighed, "It's like a covenant between the city-states of Heaton, and so is the Olympian gods. Zeus is very clever in doing this, to prevent the gods within the god system from challenging his position, and to prevent the history of his defeat of the previous creation god and the fusion of the kingdom of God from repeating itself. ”
Artemis nodded: "The United Kingdom of Heaton is the domain of the gods of Olympus, and the city-states believe in the gods of Olympus, and the affairs of the world must reflect the scene of the kingdom of heaven, which is the source of civilization. ...... As for the oath that Zeus made the gods, it also learned the lessons of the War of the Gods and the history of other gods. ”
Amun said, "But the gods still have a fight. ”
Artemis explained: "Yes, the gods do not fight directly in the kingdom of heaven, but fight against the angels of the gods through the earthly city-states. ”
Amon said thoughtfully: "Proxy war, I am from the ancient town of Duke in the east, it is said that the Tianshu Continent is the center of the world, and Olympus is the emerging god system in the West. So what you're talking about is the Western tradition?...... It seems that the decision of the Olympian god system to divert the contradictions and unify them externally and to expand outward to resolve internal differences also seems to be a source of habit. ”
Artemis asked rhetorically, "Have you ever seen a city-state republic like Aaron? It's very similar to the current state of the Olympian gods, there is a saying you should have heard - 'Aaron is the Aaron of the Aaron, the empire of the Heatons'." People are not gods, they will act according to the guidance of the gods as they understand them, with their own **. This inheritance will manifest itself in various forms, even after a thousand years. ...... Amon, I'm not here to discuss this with you, but to remind you that it's best to get out of here first, someone will be looking for trouble soon. ”
Amon shook his head and said, "I didn't break the agreement, why did I leave here? Isn't it nice that you can meet me here? ”
Artemis's face finally showed a gentle color, and he took one of Amun's hands and said, "I heard that you have promised Zeus that the gods of Olympus can enter your divine domain, and I can go to see you at any time, right?...... But now the gods are going to deal with you, even if they are not as strong as you, but they will use all kinds of ways and means. If you can't act as a god, you're going to suffer, so why stay here?"
Amon still smiled and said: "Since I have agreed to cooperate with Zeus, it is natural that I will encounter such a thing, and the test I have experienced is also part of the verification, how can there be no trouble? If I will not encounter any problems, what else can I ask for? The methods of the Olympian gods against me are exactly what I am here to test." You could say that I am to blame, but I will not leave on my own initiative, and this is the price that must be paid in the exploration. ”
Artemis squeezed Amon's hand tightly and said worriedly, "I didn't come to persuade you to leave because the gods wanted to force you to leave, you haven't fully understood what I mean. I have a feeling that Zeus is using you and calculating you. I know the Father of the Gods better than you do, and you are seeking it, and he is seeking it. ”
At this point, Artemis did not continue to speak, but imprinted a message into Amun's soul, telling her guesses and judgments - both Amon and Zeus had achieved achievements beyond the creation god and created their own kingdom of heaven, a state that Artemis called "the god of gods" according to the ancient prophecy of the plains of Duk. But both Zeus and Amon are faced with a potentially serious problem: what if other gods in the divine system have achieved the same in the future?
In the ancient god system, if there is a god who has also achieved the achievement of the creation god, he can break away from this god system, no longer be bound by the oath, and can open up another god kingdom and create another god system, such as Seth's wish.
Zeus's situation was different, he surpassed the creation god and achieved the achievement of "god of gods", merged with the kingdom of the original god Unos, created the kingdom of Olympus, and made the gods make an oath to prevent a similar situation from happening again. However, if there is another god in the god system who has also attained the achievement of "God of Gods", how can the two "God of Gods" coexist?
It was impossible for Zeus to prevent another god from creating his own kingdom of heaven, and to create another kingdom in immortal eternity would lead to a split in the divine line and a violation of the oath of the gods. If it is extended and created in the original kingdom of heaven, it may no longer belong to Zeus completely, and it may also lead to the collapse of the kingdom of heaven, and may even lead to the integration of Zeus's kingdom of heaven.
The consequences of all this are unknown, and while the possibility of what is happening at the moment is small, it is not impossible in the long future. So Zeus had to ask for a higher attainment, which was his heavenly kingdom, which could somehow merge or accommodate the same heavenly world.
But the gods' verification of the unknown realm is not out of thin air, otherwise Amon would not have to come to the world to explore. Wanting to merge with the same heavenly world is like a person who wants to know if he can eat an apple, then he needs to have an apple in the world for him to try. There are only two "apples" that Zeus can find today - Amun and Malduk.
The "Freedom of Heaven World" created by Marduk is quite different from the "Olympian Heaven Kingdom" created by Zeus, and it is obviously the verification of another path, which is impossible to compatible. And Amun's "kingdom of angels" is very similar to Zeus's kingdom of heaven. Zeus Amun's cooperation to "deal with" Malduk, isn't it also the idea of fighting Amon?
Zeus created the kingdom of heaven earlier, and his mana was higher than Amon's. He took the opportunity of expanding the divine domain and diverted the contradictions of the god system to the outside world, not only against Malduk, but also against Amun. If the Olympus Divine Domain expands as planned, sooner or later it will manage to merge with Amun's Divine Domain, and what will be the fate of Amon's Heavenly Kingdom at that time?
