Chapter 687: The Replacement of the Heavenly Pillar

How high the heavens are, how thick the earth is.

This may be a certainty for Rennes. Before the crossing, Wren only needed a hundred poisons, and immediately knew the height of the atmosphere, as well as the average thickness of the ground from the earth's core.

For the existence of the world of Olympus, this has never been a certainty.

Because the Olympian plane wasn't originally that big.

It is likely that the original Olympus was less than a quarter of what it is now, and its length, width, and height were not what it looks like today.

It is a sky built by the god-king Ouranos, and the earth is thickened by the mother goddess Gaia. But what really makes the sky higher is to rely on those few Titan gods known as the [Heavenly Pillars], and it is their power that forcibly pushes the sky up.

However, during the Battle of the Titans, the original Titans were imprisoned in Tartarus Hell. Zeus was unhappy when he looked at the down-down sky, so he fell in love with Atlas.

Atlas is the son of the Titan god Iapetus and the goddess of the sea, Cleomene, and he has the tallest stature of the Titans, standing over a thousand meters tall, in addition to his infinite strength. However, he was also involved in the great battle of the Titans against the Olympian gods, led by Zeus. Because of the defeat, Zeus simply punished him for carrying the whole sky on his shoulders forever.

That's what Olympus is today.

For thousands of years, all the beings of the world of Olympus have been accustomed to seeing the petrified Astra carrying the heavenly dome with his hands and the first cervical vertebra [Atlas] on the top of the highest peak of the plane.

At this time, Artemis was horrified to discover that Mount Astra ...... Collapsed.

In the vision of the goddess of the hunt, his left forearm continued to turn into powder, dissipating into the wind, while his right arm was not much better, and the whole arm showed a chaotic spot similar to a corpse spot.

Although Zeus shared the priesthood of [Sky] with her, after all, [Sky] was not taken back by herself.

Zeus never cared if it was the pillar or any of the Titans who carried the sky.

Zeus acquiesced in this move.

"I see." Hera replied in as calm a tone as possible.

When it comes to mastering the skies, Hera can't compare to Zeus, a bastard with great talent.

But now, one of Astra's left arms is gone.

Atlas knows that all who have seen Medusa's eyes will be turned to stone. So he said to Perseus, "I am so tired, please put Medusa's eyes on me, and let me turn to stone." Perseus granted his request and took out Medusa's head, facing him, and Atlas became a mountain.

What else could she do?

He wanted his enemies to remember his horrors, and any presence that could keep the sky from falling.

Why does it seem like the sky is falling again?

Artemis immediately looked at the highest peak in the world - there was Mount Astra.

Earthlings find it incredible, but it is quite normal for this kind of world where gods appear to be holy.

Without even a second of hesitation, Artemis greeted Ares and immediately rushed back to the top of the sacred mountain of Olympus to inform Hera, the queen of heaven.

Perseus was the son of Zeus and a famous hero. He was ordered to cut off the head of the gorgon Medusa, and on the way back, he met Atlas, who was carrying the sky on his shoulders.

She's desperate too!

It may be that God pity Atlas suffered that made him meet Perseus, another son of Zeus, and finally completely free himself from the pain of the oppression of the sky.

All her divine power and power, to put it bluntly, comes from her unconscious husband Zeus.

In the face of Zeus's stealing behavior in the world, Hera can punish him, and even bear the notoriety of jealousy, but when it comes to fighting foreign enemies or Zeus's poor and hateful god-king father or grandfather, Hera really has little to do.

As a last resort, when the rest of the main gods of Olympus had to guard the sacred mountain and not leave, she began to issue various tasks to encourage great heroes from all over Greece to come to help.

Most of the Greek heroes were demigods. Zeus is the third generation of gods, and they are the fourth and fifth generations of gods. They are like grasshoppers on a rope with the whole Olympian god system.

They responded with a sense of divine mission and a desire for glory.

For a time, heroes gathered, swords and guns were like a forest.

If they succeed, they will leave an important story of their own in Greek mythology.

Sadly, their god-king Zeus pulled his crotch unsurprisingly.

Three days later, the petrified Astra severed his other arm.

For a while, the entire sky dome was shaky, and there was a feeling that the sky was overturned.

All Olympian beings, whether mortal or true gods, have a sense of impending calamity.

"The sky is falling!"

"What should I do?"

"A new Titan god must be found."

"No, it probably doesn't have to be a Titan."

People and gods were discussing, and then Hercules felt that something was wrong. The greatest hero of Greek mythology, he was the illegitimate son of Zeus's wife.

He is also extremely powerful, and once briefly replaced Atlas in the trial of obtaining the [Golden Apple] to carry the sky. At one point, Atlas threw the pot at Hercules, who later found an excuse and threw the pot back.

Only this time, the two Titan gods who had fallen into chaos were exiled by Zeus, and Atlas looked like he was dying again.

Thinking of the endless weight of the heavenly dome, Hercules was not good.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for him to see Hermes, who was professionally responsible for running errands among the twelve main gods.

"I have sent the will of Hera, the queen of heaven—please follow me immediately to the holy mountain of Olympus to meet the queen of heaven."

Hercules' face was pale, and his mouth squirmed for a long time: Can I not go?

But in the end, he still went.

In less than half an hour, he came out of the gate of the Holy Mountain Temple in despair.

Hera's strict command still echoed in his ears: "If Atlas Mountain collapses, I need you to support the heavenly vault for the world of Olympus for a while." Rest assured, if we find a replacement, we will take it over as soon as possible. ”

What Hera didn't say was: what about the lack of a replacement?

The Olympian gods did not know.

At the same time, after so much more time, Wren finally held back his divine power to a powerful divine power.

In other periods, Wren definitely made a big noise and made a special promotion ceremony so that the whole world knew it, which was both a celebration and a demonstration of the supremacy of the physics school.

The tragedy lies in the fact that everyone tacitly acquiesces that he is the king of gods. Isn't it natural for him, a god king, to 'recover' his powerful divine power after being a river dragon? If you can't even do this, that is, you, Ren, the god king, are 'in vain'.

So much so that Rennes' promotion was like doing something embarrassing, and he didn't publicize it at all.
