The AI manager of the moon seems to like these corals very much, and hates Zeus's act of destroying corals rashly.
Zeus was also very helpless, he hadn't pursued the matter of the other party planting coral on his body, but he didn't expect to beat him up instead.
However, considering that Zeus has no way to take away the moon spirit crystal and needs to be kept by the other party, now is not the time to offend the other party.
"It's a big deal, I'll pay you back."
"What can you pay? Every coral is unique."
"I will pay you for what is not on this moon."
Although Zeus didn't understand the value of the moon coral, but seeing how the other party liked it so much, it obviously had some special meaning, and in this case, it is not measured by value.
"No?"
"Well, how about paying you a golden apple tree?"
Zeus said some crazy words casually, you know how much competition a golden apple would attract in Greece, even Hercules was hunted down to heaven and earth without a way out.
The "gold" concept on the golden apple is only part of the reason, and the other part is due to its scarcity and Zeus himself controlling its shipments.
The number of golden apples is only owned by Gaia. As Gaia gradually withdraws from Mount Olympus, those books are naturally inherited by Zeus, so the problem of dealing with golden apples also falls on Zeus.
The first solution is to sell all the golden apples to the land of Greece, and depreciate the golden apples in one go. When the mystery of the concept of "gold" is sufficiently diluted, the golden apples will naturally not attract people's competition.
But it is clear that this path is not feasible in any case.
It is easy for the golden apples in the hands of Zeus to temporarily fill the Greek market, but how many years can this last?
The production of golden apples is still scarce, and once some golden apples flow to other countries, the speed will still accelerate. In this case, Zeus simply chose the second path.
Zeus directly limited the number of golden apples, and Zeus would give a golden apple only at some extraordinarily large banquets or festivals.
Under such fierce competition, those who get the reward will usually eat it immediately, presumably only the gods have the leeway to store it away.
This also makes it not uncommon for outsiders to have golden apples in the garden of Zeus.
Since Zeus destroyed the coral of the moon, it is better to pay for a golden apple tree.
"Golden apple tree? I can only decide whether it can be used as compensation after I have seen it."
"I'll bring it next time."
Zeus said things like "next time will be sure", but he didn't really plan to dove off the manager of the moon, he will definitely come to the moon again.
"When is the next time?"
"When the Star Warriors arrive, I will definitely fulfill my promise at that time."
Zeus made a promise and began to return to the earth, gorgeous magic particles were ejected from the engine, like a meteor across the sky and directly broke through the atmosphere.
"This seems to be the second time a single plane has entered the atmosphere."
Zeus recalled that when he cut off Zhuyue's moonset in outer space, he had no magic power at that time, and could only let himself be engulfed by the high temperature bit by bit. Now he is not only in full condition, It even needs a layer of body armor to protect it. Naturally, it is not afraid of high temperature and even has a kind of bungee jumping excitement.
Greece is coming.
Zeus adjusted his flight trajectory in the sky, then shrunk his huge mech body into a figure-sized figure, and slowly landed on Mount Olympus.
"Yo, I haven't seen you for three years, you..."
After all, he has been away from duty for three years, and Zeus is quite embarrassed. He just wanted to say hello to ease the atmosphere, but found that the atmosphere on Mount Olympus had dropped to freezing cold. Those who didn't know thought it was the end of the world.
"What's going on here?"
Zeus looked around and saw that most of the gods on Mount Olympus were present. Could it be that something major happened when he left for three years?
"Your great-grandson Hercules, something has happened."
On such an occasion, Hera is the most suitable to speak, just talking to Hercules, shouldn't bother the gods, right?
"Back then, Dana had arranged for Hercules to get married, and soon many people came to propose marriage. Naturally, Hercules quickly chose a woman to marry in order to get rid of the endless troubles, but marriage does not mean Both parties will be grateful."
Hera understands that it is very rare for her to get on the bus first and pay for the fare later, but Hercules is not so lucky.
His marriage was just to avoid trouble, and although the woman was beautiful, Hercules didn't have much interest in this aspect.
He is still in the stage of growth, getting stronger almost every moment. Facing the supreme pleasure of strength improvement, the boring bed games between men and women seem so monotonous and boring.
"The woman cheated?"
Zeus frowned slightly, he seemed to be able to guess the follow-up development.
"It was indeed infidelity, but it didn't go to the last step, but Hercules had been neglected for many years, but he also regarded his wife as his own. After such a thing was exposed, the lover was quickly killed."
Hera sighed, if these things stop here, then the gods will not be more difficult.
"The death of a lover made his wife a little bit out of control and then said some nasty things."
"I see."
After hearing this, Zeus's head also hurt. These words are undoubtedly a complaint to Hercules.
Life has no mood, brutal violence, neglect and the original reason for the two people to be strong-profit.
"She said what was in her heart, which made Hercules angry at the woman's family. Not only did she kill her lover, but her wife even killed the woman's whole family. In the end, Illya personally came forward to kill Heracles. Les was taken to prison."
If you are just an ordinary person, then you can do whatever you want. Although Hercules is strong, there is still a gap between him and the gods, so he can't make things difficult for the gods.
Who cares about such a person's life and death, but this person is the blood of Zeus, as another great hero after Perseus, should he just let him die like this?
More importantly, as a descendant of Perseus, if he is exonerated, can he continue to inform Rome?
If he is convicted, then Rome cannot be passed on to Hercules, what will Dana think?
The gods can also see Zeus' preference for Dana, and they don't want to offend that human being if they can.
"that's all?"
After listening to the explanations of the gods, Zeus finally understood the cause and effect of this incident, and the only thing that made Zeus happy was that this incident happened only a few days ago, and it didn't take too long because of his disappearance.
"Father has made a decision?"
"As business as it should be, let Dana order the trial of Hercules."
public trial?
The gods clearly sensed that Zeus was going to give Heracles a little bit of sympathy. Judging Hercules in front of everyone will definitely arouse his madness. If the time comes, blood will flow into rivers... ..
"Hera, you will be the witness when the time comes."
"Can."
Hera also noticed the thoughts in Zeus' eyes, obviously he was dissatisfied with what Hercules did at this time.
If this brat doesn't hit him for three days, he'll die.
"It's just...how far do you want me to go?"
Hera wanted to know where the bottom line of Zeus was.
"To the extent that it should be done, what is written in the law, then how to do it."
Zeus understood that Hercules' wife was unfaithful, and no matter whether he crossed the bottom line or not, any man would be upset. In this ancient society, violence and murder is indeed conceivable.
If Zeus did nothing up to this point, according to the general legal process, Hercules should be acquitted, but the problem is that Hercules even killed the whole family of the woman.
As for the reason why the other party's family married Hercules, didn't Hercules have any clues in his mind?
Moreover, they have been married for several years, but they are full of muscles and do not try to establish a relationship between the husband and wife. Now that the wife has someone outside, it is only then that I remember that this is my wife?
This kind of stuff can be regarded as a compliment even if it has a glass heart. In Zeus's words, it is a giant baby.
Zeus understood that Hercules and Ares are the same kind of people, they both believe in power, but Ares has Hera tied to him all the time, and for a long time, Hera’s strength surpassed Ares’. Si, this made Ares convinced of his mother.
But Ilya didn't have the strength to suppress Hercules, and she was too weak in character.
Zeus didn't think that protecting Hercules would make him realize his mistakes and correct them, but would encourage his arrogance. It's time for someone stronger than him to teach him how to be a man.
"Business? Hehe"
Hera laughed, obviously she thought of a more suitable candidate than her, and then set her sights on Ares, who was wandering in the sky.
Chapter 260 Reversal of Strength and Weakness
Hercules couldn't understand why this happened.
Obviously it's all other people's fault, why even Illya, who is being judged at that time, asks herself to be judged, why is this?
Hercules didn't understand the look in Illya's eyes at that time. It was disappointment and self-blame. Why was she disappointed? I was clearly strong enough, so why did she blame herself? Could it be that she did something wrong.
"Hercules, I have come to see you."
Illya came to visit Hercules in the dungeon. He didn't have any shackles on him, not only because he was Dana's great-grandson, but also because Hercules was strong enough that nothing could lock him. he.
"Why? I don't understand what I did wrong. It's obviously her fault."
Hercules couldn't understand why even Illya felt she needed to be judged, he didn't understand where he was wrong.
"It's my fault. I don't have any experience in raising children. My preaching to you will always stop at the point of preaching. It's my fault."
Illya realized her mistake at this time. Because she had used the card of Hercules in the future to perform a dream summoning, and then experienced Hercules' state of mind, she thought that Heracles was a gentle people.
Even if I am a little impulsive and reckless now, I will definitely become a qualified hero in the future, but all of this is taken for granted from the perspective of the future.
There are huge changes in every stage of a person, and this process needs to experience various people or things.
A person is a good person now, but it does not prevent him from being a heinous person in the past. This is not a contradictory thing.
"Illya, have I let you down? But I don't know where I went wrong."
Hercules was still willing to apologize, although he didn't know where he was wrong.
It's just that this kind of apology is not what Illya wanted. If Hercules didn't know where he was wrong, then he would definitely make the same mistake again in the future.
"Your judgment will begin soon. This time, you will not only face the public trial of the whole of Rome, but also God himself will come to judge you."
"god?"
"Well, in Rome their names are Juno and Mars."
Diva and God of War?
Hercules remembered the corresponding gods of these two gods in Greece, but what he committed was only a "trivial matter" like murder, and logically speaking, the gods should not be alarmed.
"Hercules, you have failed the gods."
Illya understood Hercules' confusion.
"Disappointed? What do they want me to do? If so, why don't you just stand in front of me and explain that God always likes to talk about the so-called 'destiny' from above."
In recent years, Hercules has not given up returning to Greece at all, so he has been seeking information from Greece by visiting Dionysus occasionally.
Back then, Perseus’ achievements were not only said to be personal efforts, but also inspired and assisted by the gods, and finally became a constellation in the sky under the agreement with the gods.
But Hercules understood that the fighting spirit and strength that Perseus had before he died could not be bestowed by anyone at all, it was something that belonged to him forged by many trials and tribulations.
In Hercules' view, it was just a means by the gods to deceive mankind and declare the authority of the gods.
"I know what you think, but there are too many people in this world who believe in fate. Since they believe in fate, the gods just use fate as an excuse to guide them in a better direction."
At this time, Illya didn't have all kinds of discomforts when she first came to Greece, and she also understood that there was a reason why Zeus was so smart but didn't implement a better system in Greece.
Without the accumulation of history and tragic failures, human beings are absolutely unable to create or maintain a better era.
No matter how dark the slave society is and how cold the feudal society is, only by going this way and seeing such cruelty can we establish a new system in the future and avoid the mistakes that occurred in the past.
In this feudal era, in this era where the gods still exist, using the words of "fate" to guide people, although superstitious and ignorant, is indeed a time-saving and labor-saving method.
No matter how strong a hero is, he will be punished if he does something wrong. The vigilance in this is extremely important to this era.
Illya understands the significance of this trial.
That is what Zeus wanted the people of Rome to understand. Even if Hercules had the blood of God and was the heir to the throne, if he made a mistake, he would have to pay a heavy price.
"What are they going to do? Let me go with some ridiculous reason, or will they kill me if they think I don't like it?"
Hercules never believed that the gods are kind, this reason is the personal experience of his biological mother Alcmene.
Every time Alcmene came to visit the young Hercules, Hercules would try to become a hero, and Alcmene at that time was full of utilitarianism.
Only when Heracles mentioned the need to respect the gods, could Heracles see the radiance of maternal love in the other party's eyes.
God is by no means a benevolent being, but a creature completely different from human beings.
"The trial is about to begin."
