Zeus does not want to be the king of gods in Greece

"Tell me."

"Hercules is still young and can't understand your plan, so please give him a chance, even if he makes mistakes in the future, forgive him at least once."

Among all the disciples of Chiron, Hercules is the strongest, but he is also worried about Hercules the most. The stronger the power, the stronger the mind is needed to control it, otherwise it is just a mobile natural disaster.

"I will forgive him once, this is an agreement between us."

Zeus was not stingy with his promise, but after making all the preparations, a huge magical power and dazzling thunder burst out suddenly in this room. When Hercules reacted, Chiron was already lying peacefully. He lay motionless on the bed.

"Teacher...you killed him?"

Hercules was furious. There were not many people he cherished, and Chiron was one of them. Now Chiron was killed before his eyes.

"This is his last wish. You who have faced a Nemea before should understand the feeling of killing a friend."

Hercules was taken aback by what Zeus said. He will never forget the moment he killed Nemea, but is Chiron his friend to this god-king?

Zeus had left by the time Hercules came to his senses.

"Let's deal with the matter behind the teacher."

Hercules didn't go looking for Zeus's traces, Chiron's bones are still cold, he didn't want to and couldn't do such a thing.

Several disciples were dealing with Chiron's relics and choosing a purpose, while Dionysus was sitting and recording on the parchment beside him.

Hercules fell into madness because of drinking the wine of Dionysus. He met the provocation of the centaur and expected to fight. The centaur lost to Heracles, so he asked Chiron for help. Finally... .

Dionysus had tears in his eyes, he didn't want to involve other people, and blamed all the crimes on his own wine.

In the story of Dionysus, there is no Jason, Zeus, or Hermes, but there is only Hercules who accidentally drank the wine brewed by Dionysus.

Chapter 260: The Bond of Olympus

The news of Chiron's death quickly spread throughout Greece. For this sage who had educated many talents, even humans who naturally rejected other races felt a pity.

It's just that everyone knows that Chiron is the blood of the second generation of god kings, and he can even call brothers and sisters with some gods of Olympus. Who is so blind to kill him?

It was Hercules who killed his teacher.

This news did not know where it came from, and soon a vivid story appeared in the eyes of many people.

In order to complete the test given by Hera, the Queen of Heaven, Hercules killed Nemea and Hydera couple successively, and captured the doe lost by Artemis, but when dealing with the wild boar of Erymanthus ,Because of being greedy for drinking, he clashed with people and horses, and shot his teacher Chiron by mistake.

The arrow had the residual poisonous blood of Hydra, and it was because of this poisonous blood that the sage Chiron died.

Although Chiron is the blood of the previous generation of god kings, it is too far away from ordinary people. They understand the horror of Hydera, and they have heard of the tragic situation in Ethiopia.

It is said that just a drop of Hydra's poisonous blood can kill a person, but they did not expect such poisonous blood to kill Chiron.

For a while, the name of Hercules became the existence that the Greeks shouted and beat.

It is said that Hercules once killed his wife because of Herac's illusion, and now he even buried his mentor. Such a person is not a good person no matter how you look at it.

"People are like this. They turn a blind eye to achievements, but talk about the shortcomings of the strong. Maybe they can only get an inexplicable sense of superiority when they talk about the shortcomings of others."

Dionysus followed in the footsteps of Hercules to the next test site, the city-state Elis led by Augeas, who claimed to be the son of Poseidon.

On the way Dionysus again saw the so-called rumor and its harm.

"It doesn't matter."

Hercules was very appreciative, even if the people on the side cast disgusted eyes, at this time he was already able to calm down.

He won't be angry with these people anymore.

"These people are only interested in rumors, but they have no need to explore the authenticity of the incident. They just like to huddle together to keep warm and attack existences stronger than themselves. This can bring them happiness, superiority and a sense of belonging. This is just to pass It’s just a tool for time, when the next rumor comes up, the rumor will be suppressed.”

Hercules didn't care about this at all, after all, he only had one person and one mouth, and he was no match for the whole of Greece anyway.

More importantly, he understands the source of all this.

"It is you, Dionysus."

Hercules looked at the senior brother who was drinking at the side. From the moment Hermes invited Zeus, many things had already been revealed.

Who is behind Dionysus, who has been introducing people to study with Chiron all these years, and why did the story of Hercules spread so quickly?

"Yes, it is indeed me."

Over the years, in order to spread his stories and find a job for his companions who were orphans, Dionysus assembled them into a team of poets who traveled all over Greece.

Everyone will exchange their newly thought-up stories through magic, so that everyone has endless stories, and they can live by telling stories wherever they are.

When Zeus needs to spread something, then this layer of network can be called up immediately, allowing Greece to know something overnight.

"Don't you blame me?"

"No, there is no need for this. I know that these must be done. I even started to think whether the God King sitting on the top of Mount Olympus is also facing such a problem."

Hercules understood the intention of Dionysus, and popularity is a criterion for becoming a constellation.

Chiron has taught so many students throughout his life, and made contributions as they shine. This alone can be said to be indispensable.

As long as the students' achievements are extraordinary, Chiron's reputation will become more and more famous. This is the key to Dionysus spreading this rumor, and Dionysus also revised the story a lot. One person is enough for Hercules, but I still put my name in it.

This is tantamount to bearing the charge of killing masters together with Hercules.

Hercules couldn't make a move against such a brother.

"The higher the person stands, the more he will be surrounded by rumors and rumors. Even Zeus, the god king, has romantic rumors, even if he is the best god king among the three generations of Greek god kings."

Naturally, Hercules didn't think about the experience of these days. He didn't understand why this happened at first, but after he figured it out, he wondered why Zeus never came forward to stop the rumors about him.

Because these rumors are beneficial to Zeus.

Hercules understood that Zeus is a man who can take advantage of everything and turn bad news into good news.

After all, it is impractical to block Yoyo's mouth, everyone is a fun person, they just want to see the fun instead of the truth.

In this case, let them have fun, so the "illegitimate children" come on stage one by one, not only Zeus, but all the gods have illegitimate children.

Some people even claimed to be the son of Athena and established a city-state named Athens. Obviously Athena is one of the three virgin goddesses. If she is like this, one can imagine what will happen to the other gods.

"Turning rumors into your own weapons? I can just accept these things without changing my face now, and I'm still far from the realm of Zeus."

Hercules got up and continued on to the next city-state before the crowd gathered.

The next task is to clean up Augeas' cowshed in one day. It is said that the place has not been cleaned for 30 years, and the excrement has piled up into mountains.

To clean it up in one day is no longer something human can do.

"Why is there such a trial? It is impossible for Zeus to humiliate me like this."

Hercules understood that for a person of Zeus's level, there would be absolutely no "low-level" emotions such as revenge, and Hercules was not worthy of his revenge.

So what exactly is this purpose?

When faced with difficulties that cannot be overcome by strength, it is necessary to use wisdom.

......

"It's... a rare visitor."

Hestia looked at Zeus in front of her. Although she was the key god of Olympus in name, she had never failed to appear on Mount Olympus all these years. Instead, she lived with Demeter in the human world Among the city-states.

Now Zeus saw that the two of them did not have the temperament of Athena as a goddess at all, but lived like two ordinary humans.

Do you really want to drag these two sisters into battle?

The eldest sister has no desires, and the second sister has a cowardly personality. To be honest, neither of these two people is suitable for the battlefield, but they themselves have great power, especially Demeter.

Now that Gaia does not show up, Demeter has begun to take over part of Gaia's authority.

Power also means responsibility to a certain extent. Zeus can accept that the two sisters will not participate in the battle, but he still intends to give it a try. He cannot give up such an important combat power without trying at all.

"Come in and have a rest."

Seeing Zeus's silence, Hestia knew that her god-king brother came to her for something important.

"Demeter, look who's coming."

"Zeus? Long time no see."

Demeter, whom I haven't seen for a long time, was just timid compared to the first meeting, but now she seems to have become a little stronger. After dealing with humans frequently, she has gradually changed her social fear personality.

In a small room, the three siblings seem to have become ordinary humans, and Zeus is just a younger brother who came to visit.

It's just that this warmth is only for a moment, and Zeus' purpose must be revealed anyway.

"This time I came to you because I have something to ask you."

Zeus used requests instead of orders, he just slowly stated the truth, and then hoped that the two sisters would make their own choices.

To sacrifice the individual for righteousness?

The correctness of this value is not something Zeus cares about. The basic logic of his agreement with this concept is that this choice must be made spontaneously by the victim, rather than relying on force or moral kidnapping to enforce it.

Just like Zeus at this time.

"Has it reached this point? Even you have nothing to do."

Hestia and Demeter listened to Zeus's description, and they didn't know what predatory stars and moon spirit crystals were for them who were indifferent to the world. The only thing they knew was that Zeus was the most powerful thing they had ever seen. This time, he was facing an enemy that Zeus was not sure of winning.

"I need your strength, but I hope you can make your own choice, stay here or go to the universe with me, I don't force it."

"But you still want us to go with you in your heart, right?"

There is no confusion in Hestia's words, if Zeus doesn't want them to accompany him, then there is no need to come here at all, and it will be fine to go to the universe alone in the end.

"I'll go with you."

It was Demeter who spoke, the second sister who had the weakest sense of existence and the most cowardly among the brothers and sisters.

"Zeus, do you think we will refuse?"

Hestia also looked at Zeus with a smile. It seemed that they already had the answer. Although they didn't know the chances of Zeus winning, they had no reason to let Zeus face such a danger alone.

"We are different from other gods. They are fighting each other for the belonging of their beliefs, so they are tired of fighting and withdraw from the world passively, but we live with human beings. Fewer and fewer people died with monsters, and everything is due to you."

Hestia is in charge of the stove, and within the scope of the divine authority of the kitchen god, she can feel how much cooking smoke has risen from the land of Greece, and she can feel that more and more people are gathering around the dining table to eat.

It is a symbol of peace and prosperity, and the relationship between man and God is just right and subtle, neither too far nor too close.

It also gives human beings a way to become a constellation, which undoubtedly stimulates human beings to develop in a better direction.

"Family is supposed to be together, isn't it?"

The reason given by Demeter is very simple, family members should not leave their family members behind, no matter what purpose Zeus had back then, he really rescued all his brothers and sisters.

Since Zeus was able to do such a thing back then, why can't they, who are gods, take this step for those who believe in them and for their own families?

"For the sake of your family? Are you not afraid even if you may die?"

"We are for our family, so what are you doing for Zeus? Although the god king has the responsibility to protect his believers and the integrity of civilization, but the god kings of other gods have no plans to leave the earth, so even if you don't go to the universe No one will say anything about you, so why would you do this."

Hestia asked Zeus back.

Zeus said before that the god kings of other gods are unwilling to join the war, and it is indeed possible to preserve civilization by staying on the earth, but if this is a good choice, then why did Zeus go to the universe.

"Because I think I have such ability, so I did it. Now I will not pin my hopes on others. Now I am the one who is in the position of God King, so I have to bear my responsibility."

Zeus's choice is nothing but because of the word "responsibility".

Just because he can do it and should do it, then Zeus, the king of gods, must do it, otherwise how can he use his power with peace of mind.

"Zeus has the world's top strength and invincible wisdom. You rely on these to defeat one enemy after another, but some things can't be done without strength and wisdom. Sometimes believing in others' hearts will become your new one. the strength of your family, trust your family."

Hestia hugs Zeus, this is a hug from his family, but home is a strange term for them.

The gods of Zeus' generation were forced to stay away from the present when they were born, and had to face a cruel father. They didn't have time to grow up slowly, and they were adults when they were born.

After defeating Cronus, they are the new masters of Olympus. They want to manage a land of Greece destroyed by Cronus. They are going to receive the theocracy of those fallen gods. The world, began their own intrigue.

The gods of Mount Olympus are all family members, but how many people besides Zeus feel at home?

This is a hug for Zeus's courage, and it is also a hug for Hestia to make up for his inner desire for the family. There are no gods or kings in this small room, just two older sisters and one younger brother.

"A believing heart is my magic...?"

Zeus smiled, he didn't expect such a joke to come true now, maybe he should have confidence in more people.

Athena's hesitation may be because she is too rational, and the younger generation of gods are still afraid of death, and their desire for the future will make it difficult for them to make such a choice.

This is not the problem of Athena alone, if it is Apollo or Artemis, it should be the same.

However, this is not a bad thing. The older generation of gods are currently more active in going to the universe, so keeping the new generation of gods can be regarded as preserving the fire of Olympus.
