Sitting on the stone chair, the three of Lane looked at the round mirror in front of them how Prometheus and his human students deceived the gods.

I have to say that in terms of execution alone, the seer is still very good.

He knows how to avoid risks, he knows temptation, he knows secrecy, which is already a rare ability among the gods. Ryan could almost have foreseen that if he were a man and not a god, he would be able to live most of his life in peace, and then mock the foolishness of the gods when he faced death, and he didn't see through his little trick.

But he is God, which makes him appear to be not clever in his actions at all. He is destined to be punished one day in the future, either far or near.

"Your brother is coming back."

Putting away this high-level artifact containing the authority of [space], Ryan glanced at Epimetheus on the side and said goodbye.

"But rest assured, we're going to keep our mouth shut about what we see today."

I have to say that in the case of not being able to use divine power, the effect of these artifacts has been magnified a lot at once.

"Then I won't send it"

Looking at the two who were about to leave, Epimetheus hesitated for a moment, but still asked.

"However, this strange highness, how do you think the God King will punish my brother in the future?"

Two strange gods he had never seen before. Maybe the other party is from the underworld, maybe from the starry sky, or from the depths of the spirit world, but their coincidental appearance here undoubtedly proves that they are anything but unusual.

"Well, I guess. He will not punish Prometheus. ”

Smiling slightly, Ryan looked at Lyanna beside him.

"Why, you say?"

“.”

Suddenly encountering a problem, Lyanna thought for a moment. She wasn't very good at this, but she said tentatively:

"Because Prometheus is still useful?"

"That's not right." Ryan shook his head: "When he created the human race and passed on the knowledge of the previous era, it was no longer valuable. ”

"Even the 'wisdom' that he is proud of, in addition to consuming more divine power, the God King has another way to do this."

Is that because of his identity?"

Lyanna guessed again.

"Not really." Ryan also vetoed again: "The status and power of the Titan god Iapetus have never been high, how can Zeus be afraid of him." ”

"And apart from his own father, Prometheus's wife is just a goddess of the ocean who is weaker than him, and the only powerful brother is still holding up the sky in the West."

“.”

Lyanna fell silent. She's always been a good executor and can do everything Ryan tells her to do, but that doesn't mean she's very good at thinking about it.

Shaking his head, Ryan looked at Epimetheus, who had asked the question in the first place.

"What do you think, the god of hindsight?"

"Probably because my brother didn't take enough offense, and he didn't make enough human mistakes."

With the previous conversation with Lyanna, the famous fool seemed to have understood something.

"The God-King wants to deal with my brother once and for all, the creator of the bronze humans, not just a little punishment. He has the merit of creating a man, even if he deceives the gods, but after all, it has not affected the faith of mankind, so the god king cannot punish him too much, otherwise it will affect his prestige. ”

With a sigh, the fool who realized it later figured out the cause and effect. He felt the rising divine power in himself, as the god who created mankind with Prometheus, the two of them actually had more faith in them than Zeus.

So not only his brother, but even he himself, has to bring some disasters to mankind.

"Thank you for your wisdom, strange god, and I wonder if I will be lucky enough to learn your name."

Standing up and saluting slightly, Epimetheus asked.

Opposite him, however, Ryan rejects him.

"No need, to be honest, I don't really like you very much."

Standing up, Ryan could already faintly see Prometheus coming.

"If your brother is confident in his intelligence and will always do things that he shouldn't do, then you are the opposite. You can change something, but you don't want to change it at all. ”

"I have nothing to blame you, because it's just a difference in one's attitude towards the world. But a god like you may be able to do it alone, but it is not destined to be the kind of life I need that can accomplish extraordinary deeds. ”

Shaking his head slightly, Ryan greeted Lyanna and turned to leave. Behind his back, Epimetatheus seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.

As the strange god said, in the past, he seemed to have advised Prometheus and Atlas, but in reality it was just a formality.

'Personnel are not finished, but the destiny of heaven has been prepared', which is the most perfect portrayal of him. Perhaps because he felt that his ability was limited and he couldn't change this, he simply chose to go with the flow and only avoid it.

"Ahh

Sighing, Epimetheus leaned back in his chair and continued to pause.

·········

"It's hard to understand, but it's very logical."

Walking on the solid dirt road, Ryan was a little emotional.

He was at first puzzled as to why Prometheus would do such a thing. Didn't the seer ever think that a god would suddenly come to the mortal world to witness the sacrifice of mortals?

But then Ryan thought about it carefully, and felt that the gods and humans of Kaos seemed to be like this.

Fire thieves who deceive the god king, kings who kill their sons and feast gods, mortals who openly claim that their skills are superior to the gods, these people or gods are not alone, but not uncommon.

It seems that these beings with some wisdom like to prove themselves by provoking authority, and then they are used as negative teaching materials to show the greatness of the superiors.

"And my old friends, it seems that they all can't sit still."

Thinking slightly, in Ryan's perception, in addition to the god of Olympus, with the birth of the bronze human, some people also had different reactions.

For example, by following the perception of disregard of distance under spiritual authority, Ryan can perceive that his special incarnation has been touched. Apparently, some remnant of the old times had also set his mind on the new humans, or rather, on their souls, and he was now testing Ryan's attitude.

Another example is in the spiritual world, a 'good boy' who has been obedient for many years is also quietly doing some small actions of his own.

It's just that he probably doesn't know that the angels in the spirit world call Ryan 'Your Highness', which doesn't mean that he is really two beings with the spirit world itself. It can only be said that because it was born early enough, it did cause a lot of misunderstandings to the other party.

"So, Lyanna, you're still fine."

Nodding, Ryan suddenly complimented.

"Huh?"

I don't know why she was praised, Lyanna was a little confused, but she still felt happy.

"I believe in you as always, Your Highness."

"Hehe, okay."

With a chuckle, Ryan responded. Under the effect of [Secret], the two passed by Prometheus, who returned in a hurry.

The sage man had already seen his brother waiting in the distance, and he walked towards the other with a smile on his face, not noticing that right beside him, the two ancient gods had just walked by, and then merged into the crowd that had dispersed at the end of the sacrifice.

He just tilted his head, feeling as if he was missing something, and then relegated it to delusion.

······

Since the first deception of the gods, the office of 'priest' was born among the bronze humans.

In the past, the sacrifice of the bronze humans to the gods was done by individuals, but now, the priests who were ordained by the creator took over this duty, and they only had to offer enough tribute.

The bronze humans were pleased with this, for the priests saved their time and often gave food or something in place of the gods; The gods were also pleased with this, as the unified sacrifices performed by the priests undoubtedly saved them time and energy.

The priests were also satisfied, because they did not have to work but kept their common secrets. Although some of them were still a little worried that the gods would one day find out the truth, in the end, no one objected.

So from this year onwards, under the operation of the priests, the bronze humans began to reduce the worship of the gods in different ways, but on the surface, the sacrifices were more and more. At the same time, because ordinary humans do not know the secrets, their belief in the gods has not changed drastically.

As a result, human life is getting better and better, and God's blessings are never ceaseless. The priests could not help but lament that the wisdom of the Creator was just a simple trick, and the effect was tried and tested again and again by the contempt of the gods for mortal things.

And so it went by, and a few more years passed. Until this day, perhaps the exhortation of the goddess of justice before, or perhaps the spontaneous warning of the god-king, in short, on Mount Olympus, Zeus suddenly announced that he would hold a marriage with his sister, Hera, the goddess of fertility.

This will be witnessed by the Lord of Justice and Law, who will share authority in the name of the God-King with the new Queen of Heaven, even with the thunder over which he presides.

······

The relationship between the god-king and his sister was not without warning, in fact, in recent times, if it were not for the unexpectedly discovered faith, the god-king's emotional problems were the main concern of the gods.

In recent years, as the throne has become more secure, Zeus has gradually lost his worries as much as he once was. He began to do what he wanted, wandering among more than one goddess. So for his sudden announcement of his marriage to Hera, although it is also surprising, it is not so difficult to accept.

In comparison, it was the promise made by the god-king that surprised the gods even more.

"In my witness, you will share your divine right with each other. No matter what the future holds, this vow will never change. ”

In the main hall of Mount Olympus, standing above, the goddess of law held the [Golden Scale] in her hand and said with a serious face.

Unlike in the past, at the request of Zeus, the authority of the god-king was now blessed with the artifact, and with the vast divine power of Themis, this artifact that measured all things released unprecedented power.

At this moment, as the goddess's words spoke, an invisible force extended from both ends of the scale, linking to the two gods in front of her.

One is the king of the gods, and the other is naturally his sister. Hera wore golden shoes and a golden crown adorned with lily lace, and her long hair hung down from the left and right of the crown and fell on her bare arms.

In later generations, the name of 'White-armed Hera' was widely spread and was as well known as the fierce and jealous daimyo of the Queen of Heaven. But now, she is still a young goddess who is immersed in the beauty of marriage.

"Yes, in your witness, I am willing to do so."

Nodding, the golden crown shook, and when Hera's voice fell, a dark force placed her divine power of 'fertility' on one side of the scales along the invisible connection.

"Of course, just arbiter, under your witness, I will share my authority with my future queen of heaven."

In the same way, when the god-king let go of the restrictions, his authority of 'kingship' and 'thunder' was connected and put on the other side of the scale.

In an instant, the [Golden Scale] swayed, and the side belonging to Zeus sank significantly. The god-king apparently had more than Hera, so after a few moments, it justly returned the excess to its master until it was back in balance.

"In that case, then I bless your marriage for eternity."

The voice was not loud, but the words of the goddess of law seemed to have a power that resonated with the authority of the god-king and god-queen, and then turned into a new law.

This is not so much a blessing as a 'regulation'. When the queen of fertility returns, the order of 'marriage' is perfected. It had no power, but the god-king's sharing of authority with the god-queen gave it power.

From now on, marriage will allow husband and wife to have a bond, rather than having only one name, as in the past. They will influence each other, but the weak one will be subordinate to the strong one.

With the proclamation of Themis, the authorities on both sides of the scales overlapped, and then split in two, flying towards their respective masters.

This is similar to the secondment of the priesthood by God, but it is not exactly, because there is no priority between the two gods. This is a great feat accomplished with the special authority of the god-king and the god-queen, from which Zeus can also touch 'fertility' and Hera can also control 'thunder'.

The gods present were surprised by the deep affection of the god-king, and they couldn't help but sigh that although Zeus was romantic, he probably had true love for Hera, and only the goddess of the law, who presided over all this, noticed the clue.

His nephew is not that kind of person, he is willing to share some of his authority, and that can only be because he has gained more.

Thinking of this, Themis was also somewhat comforted.

It would be nice if it could be artificially influenced. At the very least, it might cut off the cannibalism between the god-king and his children.

With a clear sound, the queen of gods completely returned to her place. Hera's still some immature cheeks glanced haughtily at the gods, especially the goddesses for a long time.

She knew that Zeus had been in a relationship with other goddesses, such as Leto in black, but now she didn't care. Zeus divided his authority equally with himself, which was more important to a god-king than anything else.

"Huh? That's it."

Just as he was about to commemorate the day with a grand banquet, Zeus suddenly looked to the east.

"A new god?"

There was a faint reaction to his god-king authority, which seemed to be related to another god-king in the past. With just a little guesswork, Zeus locked on to the only target. Ouranos, the blood that gave birth to the three goddesses of vengeance, was about to give birth to a new god, something he had known for a long time.

"Fellowos, the embodiment of the Zephyr."

So standing on the high platform, Zeus smiled and said:

"On the eastern sea, because of my marriage to Hera, a new god is about to appear. Please invite her to Mount Olympus, where she deserves a place. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

He bowed, and although he was a little dissatisfied with the fact that he still had to run errands on such a day, he did not show it. He incarnated into an invisible air stream and traveled eastward, and behind him, Zeus announced the beginning of the feast.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

At the wedding feast of the god-king, the gods began to drink and feast. But in the remote part of the temple, a goddess surrounded by three goddesses in the center turned hideous.

Her hands were rigged into the flesh, and anger rolled in her heart as she looked at the new queen who was held by the stars.

Of course, there are also fears and trepidations.

"Nothing."

Barely smiled, Keto was actually mentally prepared for Hera to become a diva, and she was not angry because of it.

After all, although she had also tempted the other party when the God King was traveling back and forth to the sea, the former mother of the sea monster knew very well that with her divine power and authority, it was impossible to become a god queen.

But she had already suppressed the jealousy in her heart, but just now, she was the only person present who knew who the new god was, except for the God King.

The embodiment of love and beauty, Aphrodite, the blood of the god Ouranos, was born because the goddess of 'fertility' sat on the throne of the gods. At the moment when the other party was born, Keto could feel that the divine power of 'beauty' that he had stolen was trembling slightly.

She didn't know that if it weren't for Ryan, if it weren't for what the symbol of 'uncertain fate' had said in person, with the stability of her fate in this world ten thousand years ago, she wouldn't have been able to obtain that twisted divine power even if she drank the blood of the gods. All she knew was that her nemesis was coming.

As she had always feared, all gods would be deceived by her 'beauty in false disguise', but only the true gods of beauty would not. Aphrodite only needs to wave her hand lightly, and others can see through the disguise and see her true side.

If other gods and even god kings could see her as she was, Keto would already be able to predict her fate. Zeus was not his brother, he was at most interested in normal life, not a half-human, half-monster existence.

"I'm not feeling well, are you going to leave with me?"

Looking at the three goddesses of vengeance beside him, Keto asked.

The three goddesses were a little hesitant, thousands of years of getting along had already made them understand each other, and they immediately heard each other's 'leaving' was not a short moment.

But they were reluctant to leave Olympus, and in the end, only the jealous goddess Mercury agreed.

Because Keto's twisted theocracy was already mixed with the power of jealousy, the attraction of the theocracy made them inherently close.

No one noticed their departure, and Ketto left Olympus with Magaira. But standing between heaven and earth, she felt like she had nowhere to go for a while.

She doesn't want to be isolated, she enjoys the pursuit and the food, but Olympus, where else can satisfy her?

"If the god-king of Olympus can't tolerate you, why don't you join us?"

"Who!"

With a loud shout, Keto turned abruptly. The visitor did not hide his tracks, and behind her, a handsome young man was standing.

"Who are you to dare to say such things around Mount Kinabalu."

The divine power was working in the body, and Keto was ready to do it, but the stranger on the other side didn't seem to have the idea of doing it.

His smile was very friendly, and Keto's guard was lowered a little. Looking at Olympus in the distance, the young man said slowly to Keto:

"Don't worry, ma'am, my name is Mephistopheles, and today's encounter is just a coincidence."

"I didn't come for you, but for another purpose. But I think that because of the unexpected encounter of fate, maybe I can solve your troubles at the moment, but the specific content, let's talk about it on the road, this place is still too close to Olympus. ”

"Seriously, it's been a long time since I've seen that god who favors humans. Under his care, I don't know if the bronze humans are good or not. ”

Laughing, the young man who called himself Mephistopheles beckoned, then turned his back to Keto and flew further east.

Looking at the other party's back, Keto hesitated slightly, but in the end he didn't make a move, but followed.

Unless she hides in the depths of the underworld or the starry sky, she will always deal with the goddess of beauty, but Keto doesn't want to go there.

The desolation of the underworld, the emptiness of the starry sky, this is known to all the gods, if she has no choice, she may have resigned herself to fate. But now that I met such a guy unexpectedly, I was more willing to listen to it at that moment.
