Mythology: Spiritual Ruler

Chapter 104 Story



"So, you were sent to Crete by Oceanus and raised by a goat?"

"In that case, you are still the adopted son of Oceanus."

When Zeus's identity was recognized, the battle was stopped. Afraid of Hecate's strength and curious about his own life experience, Zeus and the two goddesses came to an island together.

Although the Moon Goddess seemed reluctant to participate in this matter, she followed Hecate's pull. The two goddesses met by chance on the sea. Because Selene's family was not on good terms with the God King, and the Moon Goddess herself was not very strong, she became one of Hecate's few friends.

Unlike Selene, Hecate was not afraid of the feud between Zeus and the God King.

"Adopted son, maybe, but Oceanus may not think much of me."

Sitting on a big rock, the young Zeus did not hide his emotions. Not long after he went out, the second creature he met beat him up, which made him deeply doubt his own strength.

Especially the other party was unknown, and he didn't match any of the powerful gods that the goat Amoni told him.

"Oh, then you think too much."

"If he didn't value you enough, he wouldn't risk offending the God King to let you grow up on the sea. I even doubt whether the incarnation of the River of the World is watching here now."

Hecate laughed at Zeus' self-doubt. Although she had other ideas after knowing the other party's identity, it didn't mean that she liked this guy.

On the contrary, she looked at the golden-haired Zeus and always felt that he was not a good person.

"What?"

Zeus didn't respond yet, but Selene panicked.

She was a little worried about staying in the same place with the son that the God King would never let go, but she didn't expect that there might be someone else watching here.

"Don't panic, I'm still here."

Hekate waved her hand carelessly with a slight smile on her lips: "My [Complete Book of All Laws] is no joke. Unless it is the legendary primitive god, no one can observe our movements from a distance."

"That's good~"

Selene sighed lightly, hugged her legs again, and fell silent.

She had heard the story of Hekate and the God King in the past. Being abandoned by her parents, expelled from the Gods by the God King, and then determined to make them pay the price for it, this was something Selene dared not even think about.

But to be honest, the Moon Goddess was actually a little envious of her. Hekate could do what she wanted and work towards that direction step by step, but she couldn't do it.

Since she was born, she has always been so weak and has never changed. And past experience tells her that the power of God is innate, and no matter how hard she tries, she can't change it a bit.

Selene fell silent, but Zeus on the side heard a clue from the previous words. The reason why the Moon Goddess was unwilling to communicate with him was related to the God King. Although she didn't know what she had done, the other party obviously didn't intend to let him go.

"So, Ms. Hecate," he said carefully, "since you called me here, I think you have something to say to me."

"I think maybe we can talk about it, such as things about my life experience."

With a raised eyebrow, Hecate took Selene's hand and calmed the little sister's emotions, while looking at Zeus with an inquiring look in her eyes.

She really wanted to know whether there was any difference between the other party and his father in some things.

"Zeus, right? Before we talk about your life, I want to ask you something," she said, "If you own a vast island, but the creatures on the island are unwilling to obey your orders, they are all independent and treat you as nothing, what would you do?"

After thinking for a while, Zeus answered cautiously, although he didn't know why Hecate asked this question:

"How is my strength compared to theirs?"

"You are strong, but not the strongest."

"Then I will try to increase my strength first, using all the ways I can think of."

Zeus replied.

"Then what?"

"Then when I am sure, I will find an opponent who is not too strong, nor too weak to establish my prestige. It would be even better if I can get a helper."

Nodding, Zeus and the God King have the same idea on this point.

It's just that the God King is even more unlucky, because the helper he got left halfway.

"Then what will you do after you have defeated this opponent with all your efforts and become stronger?"

"Then I will naturally take back control of the island," Zeus said as a matter of course: "You also said that this is my island."

"Yes," Hecate said with a smile: "Then if you successfully subdue the vast majority of dissenting lives, but at this time, a few weak new lives are born. As long as they grow up, they will definitely replace you. What will you do?"

"Replace me?"

Somewhat puzzled, so Zeus asked:

"Why can they definitely replace me? Who stipulates this?"

"Of course," Hecate nodded, "Just think of it as someone's stipulation, or the kind of existence you can't resist."

"If that's the case, I will take action in advance and leave them no chance to replace me. Of course, it would be even better if we can solve the existence that stipulates all this."

Zeus answered with a thoughtful look on his face.

"It's a reasonable idea,"

Hecate smiled and said, somewhat noncommittally:

"But I don't know if it will succeed."

"After all, ideas are just ideas. When it comes to implementation, there will be many unexpected things, such as you don't know what happened, and those weak lives accidentally escaped from your control."

"But you said," Zeus retorted: "I have strong strength, but they are weak."

"Yes, but this does not affect the final result."

"Why?"

Zeus found it difficult to understand.

"I also want to know why, why don't you tell me why you, who should be in the belly of the God King, suddenly appeared in the distant sea."

Hecate laughed happily, and looked at Zeus's changing expression, and found it very interesting.

"It seems that you have understood what I mean, Zeus. You are the son of the God King, and you are also the one he considers a threat and thinks may overthrow his throne. So now tell me, facing such a powerful person who controls the entire 'island', what are you going to do?"

"Surrender and wait for death, face eternal prison, or fight hard and try to give yourself a chance?"

"I don't care what you choose, but since the God King once made me very unhappy, if you choose the latter, I can provide you with a little help."
