Chapter 79: The Story
"So, you were sent to Crete by the ocean god Okeanos, and then raised by a goat?"
"In that case, you can be regarded as the adopted son of the Ocean God."
When Zeus's identity was recognized, the battle was stopped. Intimidated by Hekathe's strength and curiosity about his origins, Zeus and the two goddesses came to an island together.
Although the Moon Goddess didn't seem to be willing to get involved, she came along with Hecate's pull. The two goddesses met by chance on the sea, because the Selene family did not get along with the god-king, and the moon goddess herself was not very strong, so she became Hekate's rare friend of the gods.
Unlike Selene, Hekateke was not at all afraid of Zeus' feud with the god-king.
"Adopted son, maybe, but the Ocean God may not think very highly of me."
Sitting on a large rock, the young Zeus did not hide his emotions. Not long after he went out, the second creature he met beat him up, which made him deeply doubt his strength.
Especially since the other party is still a little-known kind, and he can't match any of the powerful gods that Ammoni the goat told him.
"Heh, then you're thinking too much."
"If he doesn't pay enough attention to you, he won't risk offending the God King and let you grow up at sea. Even I wonder if this incarnation of the Circumferential River is watching here right now. ”
For Zeus's self-doubt, Hecate reciprocated with ridicule. Although she had other ideas after knowing the identity of the other party, it didn't mean that she liked this guy.
On the contrary, she looked at the blond-haired Zeus and always felt that the other party was not a good person.
"What?"
Zeus didn't react, but Selene panicked.
Staying in the same place with the son of the God King who would never let go already made her a little worried, but she didn't expect that there might be someone else watching here.
"Don't panic, I'm still here."
The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and Hekate waved his hand indifferently: "My [Wanfa Quanshu] is not a joke. Unless it's a legendary primordial god, no one can observe our movements from afar. ”
"That's good~"
With a sigh of relief, Selene hugged his legs again and fell silent.
The story of Hekat and the God-King, she had heard each other tell it in the past. Abandoned by his parents, expelled from the Protoss by the God-King, and then determined to make them pay for it, this is something that Selene could not have imagined.
But if you really want to talk about it, in fact, the moon goddess also has some envy in her heart. Hekate could do what she wanted to do and work in that direction, but she couldn't.
Since her birth, she has always been so weak and has never changed. And past experience told her that God's power is innate, and no matter how hard she tries, she can't change it in the slightest.
Selene was silent, but Zeus on the side heard the clue from his previous words. The reason why the Moon Goddess was reluctant to communicate with him was related to the God King, and although he didn't know what he had done, the other party obviously didn't intend to let him go.
"So, Lady Hecate," he pondered, "since you have called me here, I think you have something to say to me." ”
"I thought maybe we could talk about it, for example, about my background."
The good-looking eyebrows were raised, and Hekate took Selene's hand to soothe the little sister's emotions and looked at Zeus with an inquiring look in his eyes.
She wondered if there was any difference between him and his father in some things.
"Zeus, I want to ask you before I talk about your origins," she said, "and what would you do if you had a vast island, but the people on it did not want to obey your commands, and they went their own way and treated you like nothing?" ”
After thinking about it for a while, Zeus, although he didn't know why Hekate asked this, replied cautiously:
"How am I better than theirs?"
"You're strong, but not the strongest."
"Then I'll try to increase my strength first, using every way I can think of."
Zeus replied.
"And then?"
"Then when I'm sure, I'll find an opponent who is not very strong, not very weak to establish my authority, and it would be great if I could pull in a helper."
Nodding, at this point, Zeus and the god-king coincided in their thoughts.
It's just that the God King is a little more unlucky, and the helper he brought left halfway.
"Then what will you do when you have gone to great lengths to defeat this opponent and become stronger."
"Then I naturally want to take back control of the island," Zeus said as a matter of course, "You also said that this is my island." ”
"Yes," said Hekate with a smile, "what would you do if you succeeded in subduing the vast majority of dissenting beings, but at this time, a few weak new beings were born, and as long as they grew up, they would definitely replace you?" ”
"Replace me?"
Somewhat puzzled, Zeus asked:
"Why do they have to replace me, is this what makes it?"
"Of course," Hekate nodded, "you should have someone to rule it, or the kind of being you can't resist." ”
"If that's the case, I'll go ahead and leave them with no chance of replacing me. Of course, it would be great if we could solve the existence of all this regulation. ”
There was a thoughtful look on his face, but Zeus replied anyway.
"It's a reasonable idea,"
Somewhat noncommittal, Hekate smiled and said:
"But I don't know if it will work out."
"After all, an idea is an idea, and when it comes to implementation, there will be a lot of accidents, such as you don't know what's going on, and those weak lives are unexpectedly out of your control."
"But you said," Zeus retorted, "I have great strength, but they are weak. ”
"Yes, but that doesn't affect the final result."
"Why?"
Zeus had difficulty understanding this.
"I also want to know why, why don't you tell me why you, who should be in the belly of the God King, suddenly appeared on the distant sea."
He laughed happily, and looking at Zeus's changing face, Hekate found it very interesting.
"It seems that you have understood what I mean, Zeus, you are the son of the god-king, and the one whom he sees as a threat to the possibility of overthrowing his throne. So now you tell me, what are you going to do in the face of such a powerful man who controls the entire 'island'? ”
"Do you surrender and wait for death, face eternal prison, or do you fight and try to give yourself a chance?"
"I don't care what you choose, but since the God-King used to make me very unhappy, I can give you a little help if you choose the latter."
