Chapter 122 Zeus Hera's Bloody Hands

"Zeus is waiting for me?!"

Deep underground, Chiron was helpless in the face of the thunder snakes flying all over the sky.

He didn't even feel hopeless, he only had time to raise his arms to cover his eyes, not daring to look directly at the dazzling silver light.

He thought he was dead.

but.

He was safe and sent to the deepest part of the underground river.Everything around is strange.

Someone saved themselves?Chiron frowned as he recalled.At the moment when the ruthless Thunder Snake was about to touch him, there seemed to be a phantom flashing past?

"Who are you?" Chiron was alert for a moment.

No one answered him, there was no one here, only the cold echo and the flowing water in the underground river.

Chiron walked out along the flowing water.He blasted away the mountain wall at the end, and the dense forest below came into view.The flowing water bypassed him and swooped down following the mountain to form a waterfall. He stood at the starting point where the waterfall flowed down from the belly of the mountain.

After Chiron broke through the wall, a cave was artificially formed where he stood, a cave flooded with water.

He looked into the distance and saw the iconic Mount Olympus in the center of the land ahead.He's far away from there...far away...

So, Chiron knew he was safe.

He couldn't help asking again: "Who are you?"

……

"Uriah?!"

Olympus mountain, the god king Zeus sat on his throne, out of surprise, an ancient name was blurted out by him.

For a moment, Zeus thought his father Cronus had returned.He subconsciously surrounded the Thunder and Electric Snake around his body, and the three spears loomed behind him.

As the largest subject of human belief, he is even stronger.The calm and calm spirit is as deep as the sea, unfathomable.

Soon he withdrew his power and made a bold inference: "It turned out to be just a lingering aftertaste."

"As expected of you, Uriah."

"Enough tolerable..."

He made a majestic inquiry and command behind him: "Have you seen clearly? Who is he?"

Athena, the goddess of wisdom, answered him immediately behind him: "No. Uriah is blocking me, I can't see."

"Hmm." Zeus replied softly while sitting on the throne.

He picked up the drawing on his lap and continued to flip through it.

It was a sketch full of stars in the sky. The simple lines divided the stars into fragments of different sizes, and some unique stars were specially annotated.

Zeus muttered while watching: "Asteraius, he is really a genius."

"He knew that I would not hand over a large number of beliefs to him alone, so he took the initiative to introduce more people into the authority of the stars."

"Although he will lose part of his authority and become weaker in a short period of time, in the long run, the faith gained by the stars as a whole will increase."

"The person who benefits in the end is still him."

"For this reason, he is even willing to abandon all his forces and give me the right to belong to the gifted stars, hoping to get my permission."

"It's a pity, it's a pity..."

Athena, the goddess of wisdom, asked him behind him: "So he is dead? He should not die?"

"Didn't Father God give him a thunder shield?"

Zeus looked back at her.

He said calmly: "This is the reason why he can escape death? Although I am a god king, death does not belong to me."

"Also, don't you think it's good too?"

"He's been awake for too long, it's time for a good night's sleep."

"I know, he's tired."

Athena suddenly felt a chill hit her mind.She lowered her head, not daring to let Zeus see the light of wisdom flashing in her eyes.

She responded: "Yes, he did work too much."

Zeus smiled when he saw this, it was obviously a smile, but it gave people the illusion of domineering.

Athena didn't dare to look into his eyes, not knowing how cold the gaze from those eyes was.Inside, there is blood that is far crueler and colder than the winter in the hands of the goddess of fertility, Demeter.

"Then what are you waiting for? Haven't looked for it yet?"

"You just watched him challenge the majesty of the god king and then leave safely?"

Athena shivered, and she immediately replied, "I'll go."

She walked in a hurry, just wanting to leave this glorious palace belonging to the gods as soon as possible.

She heard her father, God King Zeus order her from behind: "Bring him back, no matter who he is, and who is blocking it."

"I will personally punish him, peel off his skin, and hang his flesh and blood on the cliff of Mount Olympus."

"I will only punish him alone. If you are smart enough, no one will stop you."

Athena who left immediately responded to him: "I understand..."

The glorious temple fell silent again.

Zeus continued to look at the sketch of the stars in his hand.

He suddenly cursed and threw the sketch aside: "Little smart."

The queen Hera happened to walk in from the outside, and she smiled as she walked, "Who messed with you again?"

"Ares or Artemis?"

Zeus snorted coldly: "Athena."

"She can't even figure out where she is."

"Is she really the daughter of me and Metis?"

Hera smiled: "You are asking too much of her."

"She hasn't seen blood yet, so it's hard for her to recognize the difference between immortality and eternity in a short time."

"You should calm down, guide her and accept her, instead of blindly criticizing, this will only backfire."

Zeus lowered his head: "Hephaestus doesn't have the conditions like her..."

When he raised his head, he suddenly said something else: "Is Astrios dead?"

The Queen of Heaven, Hera, slowly walked up to the golden throne she placed beside Zeus. She sat on the golden throne and stretched out her hand to Zeus beside her.

That hand was stained with blood, and it held a Thunderbolt tightly.

Zeus took over the thunder as if nothing had happened, and Hera took the power of the stars that emit starlight from the other hand.

She handed it to Zeus: "I wanted to be gentle so that he wouldn't feel the pain."

"But he was already lying in the valley weak and weak, still cursing us, cursing us with resentful eyes."

"As a last resort, I can only use some strength to get it from his chest."

Zeus threw the thunder to the earth casually, then held up the power of the stars with one hand, and held Hera's bloody hand with the other.

"He's smart enough to hang around with me for so long."

"It's a pity, he is smart and greedy. He wants everything but has no priority. When it's time to give up, he still takes chances."

Hera glanced at the sketch drawing the stars on the ground: "It's just clever. Mount Olympus is not what it used to be, and neither are we."

"You can't take a share of the pie just by emptying your teeth."

She paused: "By the way, the ascension of mortals planned by Astrios, do you want to continue?"

Zeus didn't answer immediately, but was immersed in the blood stained on Hera's hands.After a while, he slowly opened his mouth: "With the power of the stars, what do you want those mortals to do?"

Hera retorted him: "But you promised, at least you should make a show for those who are watching."

Zeus recovered from the blood red, and he looked into Hera's eyes: "Then wait until I'm in a better mood."

As he spoke, he stood up from the throne, stretched out another white hand and extended an invitation to Hera: "My goddess, let me bathe you."

Hera smiled.

She put her fingertips on Zeus' palm: "I'm so happy!"

They stepped into the sky together and sank into the clouds, both hands stained with blood.
