The words of the goddess of justice were still valid, and after a banquet for his three daughters, the god-king left Olympus.

He was going to meet the two goddesses who were nominally older sisters, but who weren't actually as big as him. In the past, whether it was Mother Earth or Rhea, they all left a not very good impression on Zeus, who is now the god-king.

He needed a god queen, but not like those two. She should have put the interests of the God-King first, and nothing else. So he had to spend some time observing and knowing what kind of gods they were.

In this way, the god-king wandered between the mountain and the sea, the long-forgotten human beings walked on the earth, a tower was built in the moon, and the chaotic weather was gradually calmed down.

Until this day, when the god-king returned to Olympus satisfied, the son of Iapetus, whom he had not seen for a long time, suddenly came to visit him.

······

"Your Majesty, I am ready."

He looked a little tired, but his eyes were bright. Over the years, Prometheus found his younger brother, and together the two created many lives.

Even without the help of Iapetus, the two were still very successful. Now that everything is done, the seers feel that it is time to create humanity.

"Very well, Prometheus, you're a little faster than I thought."

Nodding with satisfaction, in fact, the God King's heart has also been a little anxious recently.

He wanted more power, preferably before Mother Earth woke up and Okeanos recovered, but he didn't have the slightest clue. Whenever he was in trouble, Zeus would think of his father.

If he also has that kind of power, there should be nothing to worry about.

So when Prometheus told him that he was ready, Zeus was pleased.

"Go, son of Iapetus, and use the materials I have given you to create a new human race."

"Whatever the outcome, please let me know as soon as it's done, and I'll be on Mount Olympus, waiting for your credit."

Perhaps because fate has been distorted, Athena, who was supposed to participate in the creation of man, has not yet been born, and she may be absent from this event. However, the creation of human beings does not require the participation of the goddess of wisdom, just as Gaia created the silver humans.

Even in the five human centuries recorded in the mythology of later generations, only one century of humanity was given breath by the goddess of wisdom, but this does not prevent other centuries of humanity from being able to think.

"As you wish, Your Majesty, I will do my best."

It was not only the order of the god-king to take the command, but also because Prometheus himself wanted to do it. So he quickly left Mount Kinabalu and found his brother as soon as possible.

He had asked the other party to wait here, because the Seer had also sensed the God-King's abnormal enthusiasm for humans. He predicted Zeus's reaction, and although it was not clear why, he knew that he would not stay in Olympus for more.

"Epimetheus, my brother, we can finally begin."

In a plain near a river and a forest, Prometheus commanded:

"As we tried before, I give life to the body, you give the body potential, and as for the soul, they can only hope for their own luck. In this way, each human being has something that he is good at, and it is convenient for me to remember them. ”

Although they are brothers, they have always been like a follower and a leader. The wise men who are enlightened make decisions, and the fools who are enlightened follow suit, and they have always been like this.

"But brother, why do you want to remember them?"

The stunned Awakened seemed to be woken up by his brother, and he looked at his brother with a puzzled expression.

"Everything dies eventually, and although human beings have wisdom, there will be no exceptions. Even if you remember each of them, they won't be with you for long. ”

"I have created them, and I am responsible for them, even if they will die."

There was a pause, Prometheus explained.

"But we have also created a lot of life before, there are birds and birds, there are swimming fish. Some of them were built with my father, and some of them were made after years of trying to be made, but you didn't care so much about them. ”

As if he didn't see his brother's mood, Epimetheus continued to ask.

“.”

There was a longer silence, and this sentence seemed to blame him for his partiality, but Prometheus did not blame his brother. He's always been so stupid, and it's reasonable to ask such an inopportune question.

But reasonable is reasonable, he really doesn't know how to answer. Ask yourself, Prometheus knows why he is so partial to humans.

Among the gods, the seer is never known for his strength, he can only rely on wisdom. In the created life, human beings were never known for their strength, and their only characteristic was that they had a God-like mindset.

Any life is eccentric, and so are seers. The reason why he cares so much about human beings is that he just sees another self.

If it is a human being created by someone else, it will be similar at best. But if you make it yourself, it's as if it's not a mortal thing, but a child who is not related by blood.

"Just do as I say, Epimetheus. I am the Prometheus of Enlightenment, the wise man recognized by the gods, and what I want to do will naturally not be wrong. ”

"Now, get ready, and together we will fulfill the God-King's orders."

bluntly said that Prometheus didn't want to say his thoughts, even if the other party was his brother. So he turned around, ignoring his brother, and began to shape the human body.

Behind him, the fool looked at his brother and felt a little regretful.

He doesn't see the future, and he doesn't know what humanity represents, but past experience tells him that no matter how much emotion Prometheus invests, nothing will come of it.

After all, the God King who has just taken the throne will not want to create people for no reason, and the only thing that can be enthusiastically pursued by the God King is naturally power. Probably there is some special value in human beings that they do not know at the moment.

But no matter what this value is, when human beings are created, there are only two possibilities.

They are useful, and then the god-king sees them as forbidden and shares them with other powerful gods at most.

They are useless, and in order to continue their 'attempt', the god-king will only overturn and start over.

Therefore, it is inevitable that if you pour your emotions into something that is not destined to belong to you, you will naturally not get good results.

"What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you come over quickly."

Seeing that his younger brother was still in a daze in the west, Prometheus rebuked.

"Okay, I'll do it."

Shaking his head, Epimetus stepped forward. Divine power lit up in his hands, and in the end, he decided to do as usual and as Prometheus asked.

He had tried to persuade Atlas in the past, because he felt that no god could always be a god-king, but the other party scoffed at it. Now, he tried to persuade his brother again, but to no avail.

Fortunately, the gods were immortal, so Epimetheus accepted this. Maybe when they've been through enough, they won't do it again.

Only when you have suffered losses will you learn a lesson. This is true of both gods and humans.
