Chapter 9: Reward
On Mount Olympus, because of the abrupt change, the banquet was rested.
The gods discuss changes to the law, but soon, the changes are made public by the new god king.
It may sound unacceptable that power will be restricted, but the gods only talk about it for a moment, and then no one reacts too violently.
Without him, the divine power is weakened, and all the gods are weakened together, even those who did not participate in the divine war. Just as Mother Earth did nothing before, but was constantly weakened just because she was great in this world, now as long as she is a god, she will be suppressed without discrimination.
Everyone is restricted, which means that no one is restricted. And on the earth, the gods have no rival other than each other. So this restriction doesn't seem to have much of an impact other than a little less damage they've caused.
Soon the atmosphere was lively again, the wine and food in the eyes of the gods were served on the table, and the banquet was about to begin.
However, this is not only a celebration banquet, but also a banquet to divide the fruits of victory, and a banquet to deal with the 'legacy of the previous dynasty', so before this, the eyes of the gods are once again focused on Zeus.
Facing the eyes of the gods, in the name of the god-king, he first set his eyes on his own family.
While the victory has been won, there are still two enemies to solve. Without the God King, the biggest enemy, the only powerful help who can listen to him is his sister.
"My sister, Hestia, who is in charge of fire and protection, although the war is over, there are still some legacies that have not been resolved."
"I hope you can go to the west of the continent in the future and help the hundred-armed giants defeat the Titan God Atlas who is still resisting."
"I admire his loyalty and bravery," Zeus said slowly, "so if he is willing to serve me, then I will pardon his sins and allow him to become a member of Olympus." ”
"Okay." Nodding, this was discussed yesterday, so Hestia asked as he was ready: "Then what if he is not willing to surrender?" ”
"The western sky is still slipping, and there needs a support there."
"If he doesn't want to serve me, let him stand there as a titan, carrying the symbol of the split off of Mount Odils, and become the pillar of the sky."
Looking to the west, Zeus finally said:
"One east and one west, I will be on Mount Olympus, waiting for him to bow to me."
Taking the order, Hestia stepped aside. The Olympus god system has just been established, and as the eldest sister, she can only go there in person.
"Hades, my brother, please do something for me before you go to the underworld."
"Cleos, the son of the Father and Mother Earth, the ancient god of the weather, the evil Titan who once poisoned the starry sky and is now against Olympus for another decade."
"In order to punish him for his sins, please take him down with Poseidon and imprison him at the base of Tartarus, so that he will never come out again."
Zeus's voice fell, and the gods were first shocked, after all, except for the former giants, no true god has ever been imprisoned in the abyss. But after a moment's thought, they fell silent again.
Putting Cleos in the abyss would theoretically cause disorder in the current world. But whether it is Zeus or Poseidon, there is an intersection and conflict with him in the priesthood.
approximately, that can be replaced. Conflict means that it is difficult to coexist with each other. What's more, the nascent divine court really needs an ancient god to establish its prestige, and Cleos couldn't be more suitable.
"Of course, I'll fix this."
Hades nodded in agreement, and for the titan god of clash of priesthoods, Poseidon was also happy to settle him.
Until then, though, the future Sea Emperor continues to set his sights on Zeus, as if reminding him not to forget the promise.
So he glanced at his former second brother, and although he was a little reluctant, Zeus still sent him a helper.
This was also agreed upon. After all, on the sea, Poseidon has no place yet.
"Eurybia, the eldest daughter of Pontus, the embodiment of the power of the sea, is despicable for her rebellion before the battle."
"But my brother interceded for you, and your brother fought for me."
Looking at the three children of Pontus, Zeus made a decision:
"If you are willing to go and help Poseidon, then I will forgive your actions in the name of the God-King, and grant you the same rights as the other gods."
"I accept your verdict."
Below, Eurybia breathed a sigh of relief, as did her eldest brother Nereus, and it was already the best result.
Now, they already know what Pontos can't escape, and on the sea, they have lost their greatest support, and they can no longer fight against the ocean gods.
Then changing the door is the best choice.
On the side, Tessis, the goddess of the original water, wanted to say something, but because of her husband, who was deeply damaged and could not recover in a hundred years, she finally did not get up.
She planned to wait and see what Zeus was going to do next, as well as wait for her husband to recover. This relieved Zeus, who was secretly concerned, and he didn't want to fall out with his nominal adoptive parents as soon as he took the throne.
"Phoros, the god of the west wind."
The most troublesome part was solved, and Zeus took it in his stride. He looked into the distance of the main hall, where the four wind gods were standing.
They were loyal to the god-king, but they were not so faithful, so they went to Olympus with Eurybia.
However, unlike the female sea gods, the wind gods did not jump back, and even made additional 'credits' for the leader, which made Zeus happy to accept them.
"You wisely chose victory before the battle, so I forgive your past. And you, Fellowos, have used your wisdom to retrieve my sister's companion artifact, the [Golden Scepter of Wheat], from the previous god-king. ”
Somewhat satisfied, Zeus felt that his new divine court needed this kind of god who was not strong, but not bad.
"I graciously reserve your position as the head of the four wind gods, and additionally allow you to contribute more to the world's climate after the weather god is crushed into the abyss."
"Of course, in addition to this, you must also be my messenger and inquire about the news of the mortal world for me."
The divine power of the gods is limited, and naturally they can no longer easily see through the mortal world. So Zeus also needed a god to do this for him, even now. He didn't pay much attention to that.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, and I will do my best."
Bowing his head slightly, the god of the west wind couldn't help but sigh again that he was clever and decisive.
As soon as he realized that the former god-king was at a disadvantage, he secretly expressed his loyalty to Zeus. As for the Golden Scepter, when Demeter was rescued from Cronos's womb, the power of this companion artifact changed day by day, and finally fell silent, like a dead thing.
In exchange for a useless thing for promotion, Fei Feiros feels that it is still very cost-effective. Except for the fact that the former God King was also terrified when he slaughtered all directions, the God of the West Wind felt that he had been going well.
Spy on powerful gods, make choices at critical moments, and every time there is no danger, as if fate is on his side.
'Thank you for the favor of fate. ’
Silently sighed in his heart, he had begun to look forward to how his grandfather Cleos would contribute to the climate of the world when he entered Tartarus.
