Chapter 3: Discovery

"If that were to be said, Zeus, none of us would be the true heroes on the road to overthrow the Father."

However, on the opposite side of Zeus, Poseidon would clearly not back down so easily. He avoided talking about the so-called 'credit', because Poseidon knew that he could not compare to the other party.

"Honorable Mother Earth is the key, isn't it? Without her, your so-called salvation would not have succeeded. Without her, what do we hold on to until the Father is gone? ”

"If merit is used to determine the throne of the god-king, then it should be the Earth Mother who makes a fair judgment, not by you!"

His heart sank, Zeus knew that the other party was arguing with strong words, but he still couldn't refute it.

He was confident before, because between himself and Poseidon, the gods must have recognized him more. But if Gaia was to judge that she was really on Poseidon's side, the gods might not have objected.

Today's gods have just witnessed the power of Mother Earth, and even among the sea gods, I am afraid that only Okeanos dares to refute the other party's remarks.

If the other party was still awake, then he would never let Poseidon ascend to the throne, but unfortunately, the pitch-black clouds that stretched for hundreds of thousands of miles in the East China Sea told them what had just happened there.

Having lost the suppression of the former god-king, the sun finally returned to where it was supposed to be. But the consequences of bathing in the East China Sea are far from subsided.

"So Poseidon, do you really intend to let the Honorable Earth Mother decide the throne of the God-King?"

In the silence, Mortis, who had been silently watching, spoke.

Somehow, she always felt some strange fluctuations in her authority, but she didn't find any problems.

Zeus is fascinated, but she sees it clearly. Although Poseidon is unexpectedly smart today, it proves that the other party doesn't really want the Earth Mother to decide all this.

Kronos, who had just ascended the throne, chose to anger her by refusing to release the giant in order to avoid being in the same place as Gaia. If Poseidon really let Mother Earth make the decision, then no matter what the outcome is, wouldn't it be a tacit acquiescence that Mother Earth is higher than the God King?

Although it is indeed difficult for the new god-king to establish a higher authority than Mother Earth among the gods from the current point of view, in the world of gods, the name is also very meaningful.

Just as Kronos did not really become a god-king until five hundred years after the gods recognized him, if even the god-king himself admitted that he was inferior to Mother Earth, then his power would be difficult to guarantee.

"She's right, Poseidon, my brother, you won't make such a stupid choice."

As soon as these words came out, Zeus also reacted immediately. Poseidon's previous words were probably more just to bargain with him, so he looked at his two brothers seriously.

Especially the one who always thought that he had some eyes and low skills, but today's performance of the other party made him a big change.

"Poseidon, and Hades, let's be honest, what do you want to do. Everyone knows that there are some things that cannot be done. ”

"Yes, we are family after all." Hestia also spoke, but she also understood the thoughts of the other two younger brothers, so she did not favor anyone: "But Zeus, you should also give your brothers what they deserve, and not like our father, who went to the end and no god was willing to help him." ”

A smile appeared on his face, and Poseidon actually didn't expect that he could really fight the other party now. He needs supporters and his own power, so standing in the center of the main hall, the future Sea Emperor slowly spoke:

"I just think you might need help, Zeus."

"You can become a god-king, and I can join you as a member of the Olympian god line against the Titans who once ruled the world in the future, but you need to give me my due."

"Give me the sea, and swear to the River Styx that you will never raise your mind to it, and we will stand together forever."

His eyes narrowed slightly, and Zeus's heart was actually unwilling. But thinking about the faint connection between the other party and the position of the god king, he still did not refuse.

And if he really refuses, it is likely that Hestia will no longer support himself.

"Okay."

With an indifferent gaze, Zeus looked at his brother and said word by word:

"Since you are so confident, it is up to you to rule the sea for Olympus. But Okeanos is the father of Metis after all, so I won't help you fight against him. ”

"That's enough, I'll figure it out myself."

I don't know when, the goddess of wisdom felt that strange fluctuation of authority disappear again. And in front of her, when Poseidon heard Zeus's words, he agreed to come down.

"And you, Hades, what else do you need besides the Underworld?"

Unlike Poseidon, Hades' control over the Underworld is unquestionable, and although ninety percent of the Underworld belongs to the present world, the border with the Abyss and some special places are not. So in fact, the two generations of god kings before and after have never thought about the underworld.

It was like a deserted place for later feudal dynasties, with little real benefit except for the size of the exiled officials and symbolic territory. Therefore, Zeus naturally thinks that the other party has other demands.

"Me? I don't really want anything, if you want, just owe me a condition that doesn't affect your claim for authority and power. ”

Shaking his head, Hades didn't offer any additional conditions. The world is so big, and it is impossible for Zeus to give up the sky to him.

As for that request, he was actually thinking now that maybe one day Zeus would be able to convince Demeter in the name of the god-king to make her his queen of the underworld.

He didn't care about the desires between men and women, as long as his sister promised to help the underworld create life, he didn't even care what the other party did later.

"Good!"

There was some surprise, but Zeus was still happy, it seems that his original eldest brother is still not as ambitious as Poseidon.

"In that case, let Styx bear witness to your promise today."

The division of the fruits of victory by his family is over, and the atmosphere finally eases up. At this time, Hestia, the eldest sister of the three brothers, suddenly said something.

"Speaking of which, I don't know if you noticed that not long ago, there was something suddenly around us?"

"Huh?"

As soon as his expression moved, Zeus also sensed it, and the next moment, as if he had discovered something, he stretched out his hand and swiped it forward.

So in front of him, a black and white world slowly emerged.

There is no difference between it and the outside world, except that everything seems to have lost its color, and there is no sign of life. The gods were a little surprised, this was a place they had never touched before.

"What is this place?"

Somewhat surprised, Zeus discovered for the first time that there were still places in the world that he did not understand.

Perhaps, we can go and see."

Poseidon turned to look at Mortis, if it weren't for this woman, Zeus wouldn't be so difficult.

"Are you going with us?"

"Although the gods are immortal, and we are all powerful true gods, this kind of unknown place may not be suitable for you to go."

Wisdom is indeed a powerful priesthood, but the speed at which it accumulates divine power is unimaginably slow in the current era.

"You're right, I'll just stay here."

Ignoring Poseidon's sarcasm, the goddess of wisdom is not afraid of danger, but now something is different.

Not surprisingly, she has already conceived her first child for the third generation of God Kings who are about to ascend the throne.
