Chapter 432: There was never a way out
At this moment, with Prometheus' laughter, the world as far as human eyes could see, shook.
The earth is trembling.
The eagle hovering in the sky was startled at first, as if it did not understand why the giant, who had been like a dead man for thousands of years, and had never made a sound even if he had opened his skin and taken out the flesh and blood inside, suddenly burst out laughing today, but when it understood what was coming out of Prometheus' mouth, the eagle became furious.
A mere prisoner imprisoned by the gods dared to say that the great Zeus Majesty was a coward?
It spread its wings and swooped down with all its might, intending to give the desecrated god Zeus a taste of being eaten.
But in the next moment, it watched as the god in front of it, who had not moved for thousands of years, broke free from the chains that bound him.
Then a large, withered hand grew bigger and bigger in front of its eyes.
That's impossible......
A sentence came to the eagle's mind, the chain was created by the combined efforts of the gods, and for thousands of years, Prometheus had not broken free for a moment, why did he suddenly break free?
In the next moment, the wind whistled, and Prometheus's large hand touched the eagle lightly, and then slapped it into another mountain peak.
The flesh and blood are blurred, and the misery is unbearable.
Archimis was stunned as he watched the scene in front of him, and his whole body became messy.
Although he has admiration for Prometheus, the mythical fire thief, the creator of mankind, and the true Father of God.
After all, no matter how you look at it, this is the god that the Greeks are most worthy of worship and belief in.
It's just that for various reasons, there are not many people who believe in this great god in Greece, and even the official is afraid to encourage everyone to believe in Prometheus because of the hostility of the Olympian gods, and they dare not justify his name according to myths and legends.
But isn't this scene in front of us a little different from our perception?
In myths and legends, Prometheus is a wise man, the wisest of the Olympian gods, but in terms of power, Prometheus's divine power is really not worth mentioning.
Otherwise, he would not have been unresisted by the gods with a chain that would never break with him to the peaks of the Caucasus, and cursed to never sleep, to bend his tired knees, to endure hunger, to the wind and the sun, and to have his liver devoured by the eagle.
But now, the iron chain that claims to never break free is easily broken free by Him, and the evil eagle that claims to always devour His liver is slapped to death by Him, and the meaning revealed in this is extremely scary to think about.
After Prometheus broke free of the chains, he stood on the majestic mountain peak, condescendingly looked at the life that could be said to be created by him, and let out a panicked voice, "Zeus is just a coward, you expect him to stand up for you and resist the invasion of these foreign gods, are you too naΓ―ve?"
"Zeus, the Other, has never sheltered life on this earth!"
Archimis listened to this voice, and his face turned ugly.
Zeus refused to respond to the Greek sacrifice because he didn't dare to come out at all, and the idea didn't come to him before, but he put it behind him in an instant.
Because he didn't even dare to think about it.
For them, the Greeks, there was no other way than to pray for the refuge of Zeus, the king of the gods of Olympus.
No matter what Zeus thinks in his heart, and whether Zeus can shelter Greece or not, they can only think in the good place, but not in the bad place.
But now, Prometheus directly peeled off the question layer by layer like an onion and put it in front of them, asking them, Zeus will really stand up for the Greeks, will he really protect the Greeks?
And the answer to this question has long been answered in their hearts.
That just won't.
Throughout all the myths and legends of Olympus, Zeus is definitely not a benevolent god-king, not even a hero.
In order to make human beings more dependent on themselves, he took away the fire and plunged mankind into cold darkness, because the human king Lycaon tested himself, so he sent a great flood to destroy the world, and in order to punish mankind, he created Pandora's box, and put all the disasters in this world into the magic box as a gift to mankind, and since then human disasters have been continuous.
Before the eyes of the gods fell on the land of Greece, the dominant belief in the land of Greece was never Zeus the Father, but Athena, a symbol of wisdom.
It wasn't until the eyes of the gods fell on the land of Greece that Zeus manifested his power as a god-king, and the fire of faith that belonged to him was rekindled.
It can be said that the Greeks' belief in Zeus was completely subservient to Zeus's divine power and might.
How could such a god-king fight for humanity against Nyaratotip, who was higher and more powerful than the demon king Typhon?
Perhaps for Him, humanity was utterly destroyed, and it was enough to order the gods to recreate man,
"So, in fact, from the beginning, there was no such thing as a way to survive. β
In other words, the so-called way of life, in fact, from the very beginning, was just a delusion of human beings themselves.
Looking at Archimes, whose face was like ashes, Prometheus faintly let out a loud voice that shook people's hearts, "Actually, it's not that there is no way out. β
"Even though the timid and cowardly Zeus didn't care about the humans living in this land, and only treated you as cattle and sheep, among the gods, there are always gods who care for mankind, and among these gods, there are no lack of ancient primordial gods. β
If Prometheus's words were a basin of cold water before, then now Prometheus's words are a shot in the arm that makes Archimes' heart thump.
He looked at Prometheus with hopeful eyes, waiting for him to tell which primordial god was caring for mankind, and he was going to go back at once and order the whole nation to believe in this god, so that he could come down and give the Greeks a way to live.
Prometheus didn't immediately say the names of those gods after speaking, but looked at the empty space on his right side, and showed a faint smile, "After watching and listening to it for so long, shouldn't you show your body now to show your respect for your father's gods?"
"The goddess of wisdom, Your Highness Athena!"
