Chapter 1999: The Small-minded Zeus (Please give me a monthly ticket! Please subscribe! Please recommend!)
I didn't expect things to get so far and get stuck at this point. After all, this is the City of the Almighty. If he is discovered by Zeus... To be honest, Kai doesn't think Zeus will talk to him calmly. There is no way. As I said before, the Olympian gods have a narrow-mindedness that is passed down from their ancestors. There is no cure for this!
Especially the last time.
Facing his son who was about to be killed, Zeus lowered his head... Although Zeus' tone at that time did not sound like he was bowing his head, people who were familiar with him knew that he was already bowing his head.
Zeus is an extremely arrogant guy. It can be said that no one in the world is more arrogant than him.
After deposing Kronos, Zeus and his brothers drew lots to determine which part of the world each would rule. Zeus thus gained control of the sky, Poseidon of the seas, and Hades of the underworld. They also agreed that the earth, especially Mount Olympus, would be ruled by all three. In addition to having the greatest power, Zeus gained another advantage from his position as the god of the sky, in that he had free access to any beautiful woman he pleased. In fact, as the god of the sky, he was expected to make the earth fertile; and goddesses, nymphs, and mortals alike were largely unable to resist his advances.
Zeus had other wives before Hera. The first was Metis (goddess of wisdom), whom Zeus swallowed before she gave birth to Athena, because Zeus predicted that her second child would dethrone him. However, in order to keep Metis's eldest child Athena alive, some Greek sources record that Zeus had Hephaestus chop his forehead with an axe, and Athena jumped out of Zeus' head fully armed. However, by swallowing Metis, Zeus gained wisdom, which is part of his inner nature.
His second wife, Themis (the divine goddess of justice), bore Zeus the seasons, wise laws, justice for mankind, peace, and fate.
His third wife was the sea goddess Eurynome, who was the incarnation of the three goddesses.
His next wife was Mnemosyne, the Titan goddess of memory, writing and language, who later gave birth to the nine Muses.
Next is Leto, the Titan goddess in charge of care and breastfeeding. According to legend, she was a concubine of Zeus. After being persecuted by Hera, she gave birth to Artemis and Apollo.
Zeus eventually fell in love with the goddess Hera, his only legitimate wife, who was revered as the Queen of Heaven. When Zeus failed to woo her, he turned into a dishevelled cuckoo. When Hera took pity on the bird and held it to her chest, Zeus returned to his original form and forcibly possessed her. So Hera decided to marry him to cover up her shame, and the two held a grand wedding. Given Zeus's lust and Hera's jealousy, their marriage was destined to be quarrelsome and unhappy.
Their union produced four children: Hebe, goddess of youth and cupbearer to the gods; Ares, god of war; Ilithyia, goddess of fertility; and Hephaestus, the gods' craftsman. Perhaps in retaliation for Zeus giving birth to Athena, Hera claimed that Hephaestus was hers alone.
This guy can get whatever he wants.
Anyone who resists him will incur retaliation.
Aphrodite rejected Zeus's courtship, which made Zeus furious, so he forced her to marry the ugliest god.
Hera opposed him, so he locked her in the sky with golden chains.
Because humans neglected Zeus, Zeus took away the fire. At that time, human life was very difficult. Without fire to roast food, they had to eat raw food. Without fire to illuminate, they had to spend one long night after another in the endless darkness...
In order to benefit mankind, Prometheus risked his life to steal a fire from Apollo, the god of the sun. Standing on the sacred mountain of Olympus, the god Zeus found that the fireworks were rising from the earth and immediately investigated who had stolen the fire. When he learned that Prometheus had violated the rules of heaven, he was furious and decided to punish him severely. However, the god of fire Hephaestus admired Prometheus very much and whispered to him: "As long as you admit your mistake to Zeus and return the fire, I will definitely ask Zeus to forgive you." Prometheus shook his head and said firmly: "What's wrong with benefiting mankind! I can endure all kinds of pain, but I will never admit my mistakes, let alone return the fire!"
Vulcan dared not disobey Zeus' order, so he took Prometheus to the Caucasus Mountains and tied him to a steep cliff with an iron chain that could never be broken, so that he could never fall asleep and his tired knees could not bend. A diamond nail was nailed to his heaving chest. He endured hunger, wind and sun. Zeus sent the gods to lock Prometheus on the cliffs of the Caucasus Mountains with heavy iron chains, making him endure the torture of the scorching sun and heavy rain. Even so, Zeus still felt unsatisfied, so he sent a bloodthirsty eagle to peck at Prometheus' liver every day. However, every time the bloodthirsty eagle pecked, Prometheus' liver would miraculously recover.
Prometheus endured great pain, but he did not regret or give in, and was willing to suffer for mankind. One day, Hercules came here to find the golden apple tree guarded by the Hesperides. He saw the evil eagle pecking at the liver of poor Prometheus, so he took out his bow and arrow and shot the cruel evil eagle down from the liver of the sufferer. Then he loosened the chains, freed Prometheus, and took him away from the cliff. But in order to meet Zeus's conditions, Hercules left Chiron, a centaur, on the cliff as a substitute. Although he could ask for eternal life, he was willing to sacrifice his life to save Prometheus.
You know, Prometheus is one of the very few Titans who supports Zeus!
Prometheus was born to Iapetus, the son of Gaia and Uranus, and Clymene, and was a brother of Epimetheus. In the Titan War led by Zeus and Cronus, Prometheus stood on the side of the new Olympian gods, which can be said to have helped Zeus a lot... Therefore, he was appreciated by Zeus and stayed on Mount Olympus.
Not only Prometheus, but even his own children, if they dared to rebel against him, Zeus would show no mercy.
Zeus never cared about his two biological sons, Ares and Hephaestus. His two biological daughters were almost insignificant. Once, Hephaestus intervened in a quarrel between Zeus and Hera and sided with his mother. In a rage, Zeus threw his ugly son from Mount Olympus to the island of Lemnos, breaking his legs and leaving him permanently crippled.
The reason why Zeus appeared when Ares was about to die was partly because of his fatherly nature, but more so because he wanted to maintain his own dignity!
He didn't like Ares, not at all, otherwise he wouldn't have exiled and sealed Ares in the first place.
But Zeus would not be willing to kill Ares.
Because even if Ares is no longer a thing, he is still Zeus's biological son! So Zeus said he was willing to compensate him at that time. After all, Ares also has his own mission on Earth.
The gods left the earth.
But they have never abandoned the Earth, they are just not allowed to enter the Earth. But the Earth is special, so they are unwilling to give up the Earth, which is an existence independent of fate. As long as they are still connected with the Earth, they are still free and will not be drowned by the torrent of fate.
No one wants to be manipulated by others, even if that thing is fate.
Being controlled by fate is a very sad existence. Why doesn't Asgard enjoy itself all the time like other gods, but is determined to make progress? It is because they are swept up by fate. The previous generations of gods have already seen the twilight of the gods!
They are doomed to perish.
Every Asgardian god king is extremely afraid of Ragnarok, which is a disaster bestowed upon them by fate. So they work hard to make themselves stronger, hoping to better survive Ragnarok, generation after generation.
From this point of view, Ragnarok is not entirely bad.
But knowing that one will die in the future is enough to make oneself despair.
The Pantheon naturally didn't want that, so almost every god system would leave behind a means when leaving the Earth to ensure that their connection with the Earth would not be severed. In this way, they could resist fate!
Funny enough, fate isn't all bad.
When enjoying the gifts of fate, no one will complain about the unfairness of fate. But once misfortune comes, they will start to curse fate.
In short, Ares is such a being. He was sealed on the earth and became a statue forever. This not only does not violate the orders of the immortals, but also allows Olympus to remain connected with the earth.
So Zeus pleaded for mercy...but this grandson was so stiff and arrogant even when he pleaded.
However, it didn't matter, because Kai killed Ares without hesitation.
The dignity was offended and the backhand was eradicated.
It is difficult to say which of the two did more 'harm' to Zeus.
In short, Kai didn't want to meet Zeus.
On the one hand, it was because of a guilty conscience...Hera and Zeus were married after all, and they were not divorced, although their relationship had broken down. But you have to know that Kai put a hat on Zeus a long, long time ago.
On the other hand, it is completely unnecessary.
If he loses the fight, he might even die here!
Although given Zeus's character, if he really defeated Kai, it would be difficult for Kai to die.
By then, he will be living a life worse than death. This grandson has a very strong desire for revenge!
For example, Prometheus stole fire from heaven for the sake of mankind, which angered Zeus. He was locked up on Mount Caucasus by Zeus and endured inhuman torture. Although he was tortured, he was still unwilling to surrender to Zeus, which made Zeus even more angry. In order to calm his anger, this time he turned his attention to Prometheus's younger brother Epimetheus, because it was he who gave his brother the idea. Zeus wanted to use Epimetheus to punish mankind and Prometheus.
So Zeus called a meeting of the gods on Mount Olympus and told them his idea. Then the gods came up with a great way to punish the humans created by Epimetheus and Prometheus. Zeus asked Hephaestus, the god of craftsmen, to mix mud and river water to make a peerless beautiful girl in the image of the goddesses, and then asked the gods to give the girl various talents and abilities. Athena put a gorgeous dress on the girl, put on a beautiful veil, and put a wreath and a gold necklace on her. Apollo gave the girl a nightingale-like voice, Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, gave her charming charm, and Hermes, the messenger of the gods, taught her the language of humans. Finally, the gods gave the girl a nice name - Pandora. It means a woman with all talents.
Then, Zeus asked Hermes to bring Pandora to the human world and gave her to Epimetheus, saying that this was the wife Zeus had betrothed to him and that he must take good care of her. When Epimetheus saw the beautiful Pandora, he was immediately fascinated and could not wait to marry her. After Epimetheus agreed to marry Pandora, he went to the Caucasus Mountains and told Prometheus the good news. Prometheus knew Zeus's character and told Epimetheus to be careful because the gods would not be particularly good to a person for no reason. Although Epimetheus promised his brother that he would be careful, his brother's warning had already flown away when he thought of the beautiful and charming Pandora.
On the eve of Pandora's wedding, Zeus called Pandora to him and gave her an exquisite jewelry box, but said to Pandora: "You must never open this box. If you do not listen to me and open this box, you will regret it." This is the most vicious way Zeus uses to take revenge on humans, because when creating Pandora, other gods gave her the talent to become better and more beautiful, but Zeus gave Pandora a curiosity, a curiosity that longs to know everything. It can be seen that Zeus's intentions are extremely vicious.
After Epimetheus married Pandora, the two lived a happy life, but what Epimetheus didn't know was that Pandora was always tortured by the jewelry box given to her by Zeus. When she saw the jewelry box, she was curious about what was inside, but when she thought of Zeus' words, she retracted her hand and gradually became haggard. Epimetheus saw the changes in his wife and knew that she must be hiding something from him. After his repeated questioning, Pandora told him about the jewelry box. After knowing the truth, he immediately understood Zeus' intentions and regretted not listening to his brother's advice. However, there was no way out, so he repeatedly told Pandora not to open the box. If it was opened, it would bring disaster to herself and even mankind. The frightened Pandora temporarily suppressed her curiosity. Epimetheus also reminded Pandora every day not to open the box.
Every time Epimetheus told Pandora, Pandora's curiosity increased a little. Finally one day, after Epimetheus told Pandora, he went up the mountain to hunt. Pandora could no longer suppress her curiosity. She immediately took out the beautiful jewelry box and opened it impatiently. When the box was opened, thick black smoke came out of it. The black smoke flew into the sky. In an instant, the whole sky was filled with black smoke. It turned out that Zeus filled the box with famine, disaster, war, plague, sin, greed, jealousy, disease and other disasters. These black smokes quickly spread to the whole world. Pandora was panicked. Seeing this situation, she knew that something was wrong and quickly closed the box. But what Pandora didn't know was that the box contained the last thing Zeus gave to the world - hope.
From then on, those disasters were rampant among humans, wandering around the world day and night. They were not easily noticed by humans, but they had been harming the world. Only Epimetheus knew why humans suffered so many disasters. He was very regretful because his greed destroyed the humans created by his brother. When Prometheus saw that humans were really suffering, he was very heartbroken. But the only comfort for Prometheus was that the hope locked in the box was still there. It was this little bit of hope that allowed humans to continue in the numerous disasters.
If Kai fell into Zeus's hands... he didn't even dare to think about it.
This guy is very talented at torturing people.
So Kai hurriedly asked: "When will the Temple of Omniscience be open?"
After Eros heard this, his face immediately became wrinkled: "No one knows..."
