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

But Poseidon was a little eager to compete for the position of God King, but this did not arouse Ares' disgust. After all, this uncle's demands were written on his face, unlike a certain bitch who said No, but the body is very honest.

"Too restless, Ares."

The door of the temple was opened, and Hera walked into the room and looked at Ares, with a somewhat resentful tone in his tone.

He obviously inherited the blood of Zeus, but he did not inherit the wisdom of Zeus. If the position of the God of War requires strong power, then what is needed to secure the position of God King is to balance the wisdom of all forces.

At this time, Ares is still too young.

"Mother is obviously Athena..."

"How is Athena?"

"Her priests preached the evils of war, but how can a nation that has not been tempered by blood and fire become strong."

Ares spoke righteous words, but in fact, the construction of his temple was hindered, and missionary work began to be difficult.

Today, almost all humans in Greece are descendants of Syracuse and Sparta. Due to the restriction of the covenant made by Syracuse at that time, the kings of various city-states cannot attack each other, and the number of Spartans has always been a small number. It can't make too much waves at all.

In the past hundred years, even if the federation has continued to be dirty, it is still subject to the refusal of the covenant to initiate wars.

This made Athena's series of propositions popular, and if it continues, he doesn't know where his Temple of War will be squeezed out.

"You don't know how to use humans, this is where you are weaker than Athena."

Hera pointedly pointed out the shortcomings of Ares. He was too self-centered and could not consider the overall situation. This is not a shortcoming for the gods, but it is the biggest weakness in the competition for the position of the king of gods. .

"Using human's belief in us can completely influence the position of a god. You have never considered such a problem."

"That's her cheating with wisdom and theocracy."

"Then do you blame me for not having such a convenient divine right for you to use? Ares, as the blood of Zeus, you must be ashamed."

"Feel sorry."

Don't look at Ares's various heavy punches outside, but as soon as he came to Hera, he began to promise.

For this mother, he never dared to be presumptuous.

At this moment, the holy fire in Ares Temple shook slightly, as if his priests were calling him.

"I'll retreat first."

Although Hera is extremely harsh on Ares, she also understands that her child is a god, and she must give him enough face outside, especially in front of his followers.

After Hera hid behind the screen, Ares also returned to his usual arrogance, as if he didn't pay attention to anyone.

He sat upright in the upper seat, and after a while, a phantom of an old man appeared in the flames. The man with a devout look was obviously a man of firm faith.

"Master Ares, recently there are rumors among the Spartans that they seem to have seen your divine envoy and sent down an oracle."

oracle?

Ares frowned slightly, he didn't like someone to give false oracles the most, if it was normal, he would definitely be furious and want people to find out who is so brave.

But at this time Hera was behind him, if he showed such an ugly face, when the old man finished his report, then he would definitely be scolded by Hera.

Hold on for now.

"It is rumored that you want us Spartans to become mercenaries of the major city-states, so that we can get funding from the city-states and at the same time help the city-states to deal with inconvenient things. There's a lot of filth in it."

The old man was actually a little apprehensive, after all, if this is really the will of the gods, then is he questioning the authority of Ares?

After all, this plan can be said to solve the urgent needs of the Spartans today. It will not only allow them to walk on the ground in an upright manner, but also stir up civil strife in the city-state, reaching a state of ebb and flow.

The only question is, if this is Ares' plan, why didn't the oracle be passed on to them priests first, and...does Ares have the brains?

Although it was a little impolite, as a priest of Ares, he was familiar with the teachings of Ares.

The teachings were densely written with benevolence, righteousness and morality. The old man couldn't sleep anyway, and finally saw two things between the words - cutting people.

You must know that the promotion mechanism for the clergymen who defeated the temple relied on the KPI of killing people. If it was a war-torn era, a person of his age would definitely not be able to secure his current position.

As the god of such an organization's belief, we really can't expect him to have a good brain.

"This is indeed my oracle."

Ares hates the kind of people who use his name to misbehave, but considering that the unknown blasphemer didn't make any big mistakes, he even helped him objectively.

Then the benevolent Lord Ares can't forgive the other party.

After all, beings like gods have always had a flexible moral bottom line when they have vital interests with themselves.

Although this was not his oracle, Hera scolded him just now, so he quickly credited these credits to himself and tried his best to save a little impression from his mother.

Besides, this is indeed a chance to fight back against Athena.

Didn't you say that your alliance is unbreakable? I'll show you how despicable human beings are. The so-called peace is just a halftime break for the next war.

War is the main tone of the world.

"Just follow this plan and don't obstruct or even help them a lot. The Spartans are our most important foundation of faith at this time."

Ares issued his own oracle, and he has already seen a turning point. If he can grasp it well, then Athena will turn from prosperity to decline, and he will personally pick the fruits of victory.

"Follow your orders."

After the old man took the order, he disappeared while the flames were shaking, but Ares knew that his own test had just begun.

"You still have such a plan, you really have a heart, Ares."

Hera came to the front from behind the screen. She heard the priest's report to Ares very clearly. Hera, the so-called confidant, did not believe that Ares would use his brain.

If his child had such a bright mind, Hera would be able to live in peace for a while.

"Naturally, mother, I have also improved over the years."

Ares directly credited himself with the credit. After all, he is also a centenarian god. The credit of the subordinates should be attributed to the boss, and the fault of the boss should be attributed to the subordinates. This can be called basic practice.

"Since you are so confident, I won't say anything more, but you have to understand that only the last laugher is the winner."

There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, Hera just mentioned Ares a little bit and didn't say much.

After all, as long as she is alive, Ares will not be allowed to die, so it should be considered trial and error.

After leaving the temple of Ares, Hera did not return to her own temple, but came to a small corner of a garden, where a person had been waiting for her.

"I've been waiting, Metis."

Pulling aside the vines that acted as the door curtain, this goddess who was "empty" by her own child was sitting in the garden, and she rarely showed a smile without many government affairs.

"Sister is never too late."

When Metis saw Hera coming, he soon smiled. Compared with Athena and Ares, the mothers of the two gods got along very well.

Even Metis was taken away by Hera as the first wife.

"My sister seems to want to reveal Ares's movements."

"You can still see so clearly without the divine power of wisdom. It seems that the goddess of wisdom deserves her name."

"It's ridiculous, but it's just a bystander."

Metis shook her head. She doesn't care about the so-called order of titles. The white giant is terrifying. They are all insiders. For this big crisis that is pressing on her head, what titles should she fight for? Things, on the contrary, seem petty.

"However, after handing over the title of first wife to my sister, Athena also has a little fighting spirit, which is also a rare good thing."

Metis smiled and brought up the tea that had been prepared, and the two sisters ate the tea with a smile, as if they had returned to the time when they were still on Crete.

"It's Ares who is too disappointing. She didn't pay attention to Ares' provocation to Athena in the early days. It wasn't until I took away your wife's status that she finally started to take it seriously."

Hera told all about it.

That's right, based on the relationship between Metis and Zeus, she was beyond reproach when she became the queen, but Hera stepped in and took the lead. All of this was a script prepared by the two of them.

"Zeus is not here, and the position of the main god is not the same thing. Since they want to fight, then go for it. No matter how badly they are beaten, as long as they don't die."

Hera said so, but there was still a bit of sarcasm in her words. It's fine that Athena and Ares competed for the position of God King, but Poseidon even robbed the junior.

If it wasn't for the overall situation, Hera would have let him die without knowing how to die.

"Sometimes I wonder if this is the right thing to do."

Metis sighed. Such a plan is simply using the children as tools. As a mother, she doesn't want to do this, but for the future crisis, it is always good to let the new generation of gods grow up quickly.

"This is all a plan I made, and it's fine to put all the responsibilities on me."

Hera was very willing to play the role of the villain, and she did get what she wanted in this plan, the identity of the wife of Zeus, as well as glory and power.

She is very satisfied with this, so she is willing to bear a series of consequences caused by this incident.

"I also agree that nature is also responsible."

Naturally, Metis would not be so irresponsible, the two of them often met secretly in this garden during this time.

At first Themis was among them, but she didn't want her children to be involved, so she left Olympus, a place of right and wrong, with the three fateful sisters, and waited for everything to settle before returning.

After Themis left, Mnemosyne had no backer, and immediately formed a loose alliance with Leto and the Asteria sisters, and approached Hestia and Demeter proactively.

The five goddesses also stayed away from Olympus and came to hide among human beings, and they will never come back until all the dust settles.

For such a change, Hera is also happy to see the results. The more variables are reduced, the gap between the two children can be clearly seen, and how shameless Poseidon is.

He couldn't play against Zeus back then, and now he is still competing with Zeus's children on the same stage. Even Hera is ashamed of himself.

"Recently, someone on the earth seems to have falsely spread the oracle of Ares. The content of this oracle instigated the Spartans to become mercenaries of the city-state, and then provoke discord among the city-state alliance."

Hera still shared the information she knew. The children of Metis were the enemies of her own children, and this did not hinder their ally relationship.

"Is there any problem with this? Just find out who spread the rumors and execute them."

"It's not that simple."

Without the blessing of the divine power of wisdom, Metis's thinking is not comprehensive, or she is not good at thinking by nature, so her parents have to entrust the divine power of wisdom to her self-defense.

Now that the theocratic power of wisdom has been handed over to Athena, she can be described as the lowest point of combat power.

"The believers of Ares are mainly Spartans. This move will not only allow the Spartans to obtain a better living environment, but it will also change the entire pattern of Greece like a huge stone thrown on the lake. "

"So exaggerated?"

Metis didn't understand, it was just a group of mercenaries on the site, but in Hera's mouth, it was like the sky was about to change.

"It's not an exaggeration at all. The city-state alliance has been established for a hundred years, and the number of dirty people is countless. They dare not start a civil war now, but they can't bear the charge of challenging the fire. But now, is there anyone who bears this infamy?"

"You mean the Spartans."

Metis also understood the meaning of Hera's words. Once the war spreads, the Spartans' footprints will spread all over Greece. Not to mention how convenient the missionary society is, the outbreak of the war alone will give Ares enough strength. power support.

This will close the gap between him and Athena.

"More than that, once the war starts, Poseidon will definitely not be able to resist getting involved. You know he is not a patient guy, but this is not what I am most worried about."

"Are you worried about Hades?"

Metis recalled the gods on Mount Olympus today, and those who clearly did not want to intervene in the battle between gods and kings had already left to avoid the limelight.

But among these gods, Hades is an exception.

As the head of the three brothers, this guy is absolutely deluding himself if he really doesn't have any desire for power. Now he is standing still mainly because Tartaros's cake is too big.

At the price of giving up the competition for the king of gods, he declared the ownership of Tartarus to all the gods.

"That's right, once the scale and intensity of the war increases, and a large number of human deaths enter the underworld, the power of the underworld will be greatly enhanced. Will Hades really be able to stabilize his desire?"

When Hera said this, she really wished that Hades would enter the arena early. After all, an enemy on the bright side is better than an enemy in the grass.

If this guy Hades really forbears, and when the God King is finally determined, the winner will be a miserable victory.

But Hades had a strong army at that time, and he had a group of wandering souls who had just died under his command, which was the best opportunity for him to reap the benefits.

Can you still hold back then?

"Do you think Hades falsely preached the oracle of Ares?"

Metis couldn't help worrying now, if the situation got too chaotic for them to control, it would be a question of whether they would end early.

"No, there is actually another possibility."

Hera was not in a hurry to make a decision, the situation in front of her gave her a rare sense of familiarity, but a seemingly insignificant move affected the whole situation.

It is not the first time Hera has seen such a method of pulling all the forces to dance in his hands with the smallest force.

"You said... did he come back?"

"pat"

As soon as Hera finished speaking, the teacup in Metis' hands fell to the ground. This was an answer she had been looking forward to, but she was disappointed again and again for a hundred years.
