Chapter 2: Controversy

When the strife on the earth was over, Gaia went to the underworld, and the gods returned to the place where they came.

Flying in the sky until landing on Mount Olympus, the atmosphere among the gods is somewhat strange.

There were twists and turns, first a complacent siege of the God King, and then a backhand suppression. Then I thought it was doomed, and the sun went down into the mortal world. In the end, before he could rejoice, the big day was pressed into the ocean.

To this day, the ocean god is unconscious, and the whereabouts of the ancient sun god are unknown.

And in the end, the invincible god-king left for some reason, and before leaving, he made a throne and connected with the three gods.

It is impossible to share the throne of the god-king, so they must at least have a priority. So the atmosphere was so delicate that the gods didn't even have time to pay attention to the superficial spiritual realm that had just opened up to the world.

"Ladies and gentlemen," finally, in front of Mount Olympus, Zeus looked around for some reason: "The most difficult period has passed, and we have achieved the final victory. ”

"But before we celebrate, I think everyone needs to take a break, and I'm going to talk to Mortis about today, and I think that's what everyone is thinking about."

The gods nodded their heads when they heard this, and they now felt a little tired from the bottom of their hearts after the previous changes.

What's more, they also guessed that the three Zeus brothers were likely to negotiate privately about the throne of the god-king.

"Go, Zeus, I need to take care of your adoptive father too."

Supporting the ocean god who has not woken up so far, the goddess of raw water accentuated her tone on the word 'adoptive father'.

"Let's wait for everyone to recover, I think there must be something to say between your brothers."

His expression remained unchanged, Zeus nodded, and then said goodbye to the gods present one by one. They all have their own palaces on Mount Olympus, so naturally they don't need to make any more arrangements. In the end, only the three Zeus brothers who participated in the war remained, as well as their sister Hestia.

Without much communication, the four of them glanced at each other and returned directly to the shrine at the top of the mountain. At the door, a deity was waiting there.

It was none other than Metis, the wife of Zeus. As for his other two sisters, Demeter and Hera, they were far from ready to fight, so they remained on the sea.

This god who was not good at fighting, but had a special status, did not participate in the siege of the sacred mountain, but she still saw the vision between heaven and earth before.

"Zeus, how is it, have you become a god-king?"

Take a few quick steps, and the black-haired and beautiful goddess will be the first to usher. Instead of paying attention to the others, she asked the most critical questions directly.

Although Metis was also shocked by Kronos's power, and even secretly doubted it, when the last trace of the power of the god king left the body of the second generation of god kings, the laws of the current world had already changed. It's just that perhaps because the new king has not yet been enthroned, this change has not yet taken full effect.

Therefore, whether they participated in the war or not, the gods knew very well that the previous god-king was no longer there.

"Not yet,"

After a moment of silence, Zeus knew that Mortis had definitely seen the awkward atmosphere between their brothers. She still asked at this moment, naturally not just asking for an answer.

She was hinting at Zeus's expectations, and that the vast majority of the gods still supported him, and reminding him that this kind of thing should come to an end quickly, and not wait for the gods to come together before deciding.

How can a king who has been chosen by others be more authoritative in his own decision?

"Metis, God the Father has abdicated, but the new king has not yet decided."

Despite knowing that this was not a very big possibility, Zeus said:

"But if no one objects to meβ€”"

"Wait!"

Before he finished speaking, as expected, Poseidon on the side interrupted.

"Now the god-king throne is connected to the three of us, Zeus, and I think there's still a discussion about it."

"Hades, what do you think?" Without replying immediately, Zeus looked at his other brother.

In the past, Hades has not expressed disagreement with the vast majority of his opinions, and Zeus hopes that this time will be the same. But the result disappointed him, and although Hades was not as fierce as Poseidon, he still expressed his opinion tactfully.

"Just about the throne, let's not mention it for the time being. But the past of Zeus, God the Father, and his brothers does worry me. ”

The future Hades actually didn't think that they could become the God King, and the status of the Underworld in this world was already very embarrassing, or in other words, the existence of the Underworld itself was very embarrassing.

The four primordial gods surround it, and although they have a special environment that is almost self-contained, whether it is the Stygian Moon or the River of Oaths, their owners are all powerful gods, not inferior to him.

I don't think it's like it, but Hades doesn't exclude fighting for some benefits for himself.

How Kronos treated the sun god and the two sea gods, they both saw it. Who knows what Zeus will do in the future for the sake of his authority.

The god of the underworld was indeed silent, but he also knew very well that now was the time when his brother was at his weakest. If Zeus is not willing to give anything to his two brothers now, then what the future holds, I don't know.

At the very least, the other party should give him an attitude that is enough to reassure him.

"But you all know very well that I am the new God-King, both in terms of the role in the process of overthrowing the Father's rule and in the prophecy that the Father once left behind, that is indisputable."

Letting go of the psychology of luck, Zeus finally became serious. And in addition to replacing 'curse' with 'prophecy', he is indeed telling the truth.

"Ahemβ€”"

The eldest sister of Zeus on the side, Hestia, the goddess of fire and guardianship, coughed lightly. The battle that ended before had exhausted her, after all, although she could not threaten the god king herself, she had been using her authority to add protection to the gods.

But now, in the face of the dispute between her two younger brothers, she still cheers up. At this time, the fight between their brothers was not timely.

"Poseidon, Zeus has a point, and in terms of merit, he is indeed more suitable to become a god-king."

"I don't think you need to quarrel about this, even if he gives up the throne, several sea gods will not accept you as the god king."

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, Poseidon still had some respect for his eldest sister. And she is right, most of the gods in the starry sky are neutral, and those who really stand on Zeus's side are basically the gods under the two sea masters.

Therefore, it is simply unclear whether they will accept another god who can be regarded as the god of the sea as a god king.

But he won't give up on that. Poseidon turned to look at Zeus, perhaps because the god-king position was too tempting, and he unexpectedly grasped the loophole in Zeus's words.

"Yes, prophecy, let's not talk about whether it is a prophecy or a curse, could it be that the words of the previous generation of god kings can also be the basis for your succession?"

"Ouranos was unanimously overthrown by the gods, and if what he said can be used as a basis, then it proves that the gods of the past are wrong?"

His eyes narrowed slightly, and Zeus didn't expect that his younger brother, who had never been very smart, would speak sharply. From the perspective of the world, the curse left by the god-king of the heaven-given generation can give Zeus legitimacy, but from the perspective of the gods, he really cannot use this as an excuse to ascend to the throne.

"And what have you done, Poseidon, have you forgotten, or have I rescued you from the womb of the Father?"

"If you still have some dignity that belongs to the Protoss, you shouldn't talk like this in front of me!"

The voice was cold, although Poseidon's strength and tide were rising due to changes in the world's climate, he was still no match for Zeus.

The Cyclops are indeed excellent craftsmen, and perhaps the [Thunder Arrow] is not so useful in the face of great divine powers, but if the opponent is Poseidon, Zeus can give him one hand.

All he had to do was hold the artifact's one.
