Chapter 36 The Flood Destroys the World
Mount Olympus.

The three brothers who rule the sky, the earth, the sea, and the underworld gather together.

Poseidon, the god of the sea, was the last person to arrive. He showed his breasts and his clothes were disheveled. He asked Hades impatiently as soon as he entered the palace: "Hades, what is the matter that insists on the three of us getting together?" No."

Zeus also looked curious, but Hades rarely paid attention to things outside the underworld. The last time he was so solemn was when Cronus ruled the earth.

Hades' tone under the hood was inexplicable: "You guys are relaxed and comfortable."

"Wine in hand, beauty in arms."

"It's time to wake up, open your eyes and look at the humans on the earth."

"Look what's going on."

Poseidon was puzzled, but Zeus was full of doubts. He looked towards the earth.

After the war, the human beings unified into one country developed rapidly, they lived and worked in peace and contentment, and their numbers increased explosively.

He also saw the priests in the temple worshiping him with ox bones covered in suet, kneeling on the ground and praying to him.

Everything is so harmonious.

He looked at Hades, hoping for a reasonable explanation.

Facing his gaze, Hades mocked, "Why, didn't you see it?"

"Where is your belief, where is the belief of the gods?"

"My little brother, the road you used to lead to great divine power is broken."

Hearing something related to himself, Poseidon was the first to react. He hurriedly checked, and then his angry exclamation sounded from the temple on the top of the mountain.

"Zeus, where is my faith?"

"Why is it getting so thin."

"What the hell did you do?"

Hades was on the sidelines, and he taunted Zeus: "What did you do?"

"Good question."

"Did you do anything? Or nothing."

Zeus also reacted.

His faith suddenly lost most of it. If it was a big river before, it is now a trickle.

Although he really wanted to teach Poseidon who had no reverence for himself, since he became the king of the gods, he had never suffered such disrespect, but the matter was of great importance, so Zeus endured it for the time being, and just remembered it firmly in his heart. account.

Actively restraining the majesty between his brows to make himself appear gentle, he asked Hades: "Brother, what happened?"

"Since you found us, you must have a plan in mind."

Hades turned around: "The king of the world has some opinions about us."

"He is very smart. Instead of confronting us head-on, he chose to subtly weaken human beings' sense of identity with us."

"Let them feel that they can do just fine without God."

"Fortunately, I discovered it early. In a few years, there will be no place for us in the world."

Poseidon hurriedly shouted: "Then what are you waiting for, let him die quickly, and replace him with a king."

"Wait, you can't take advantage of him, dare to block my way."

"I'm going to tear him apart and let the Oneiroi hang him in the dreams of all human beings."

"As long as human beings fall asleep, they can see the miserable end of my enemies."

Hades narrowed his eyes.

When did his subordinates turn to be driven by Poseidon.

Did he give this order, why didn't he know it himself.

Looking through the dead air covering his face, Hades meant something.

"I'm afraid that it won't be of much use."

"If death could make a person fearful, no one in mankind would dare to say my name."

"They still know how to repay their kindness."

"Prometheus is the one who brought them into this world after all. In the hearts of some humans, he is an irreplaceable god."

"Yes, the only God."

Zeus didn't interrupt halfway, he had been looking at the man in the temple on earth who sacrificed to him with ox bones, and the more he watched, the more bored he felt.

He looked away and saw on the mountain not far away, Deucalion, the son of Prometheus, and Pyrrha, the daughter of Epimetheus, were making love to each other.

He suddenly said harshly, "Then what's the use of keeping them?"

"It will take 100 to 200 years for them to gradually forget Prometheus."

"300 years may not be enough if there are stupid people in it."

"Just kill it and recreate it."

He called out to Athena outside the palace: "Athena, my daughter."

"Go to the Caucasus Mountains, break open the chest of Prometheus, and give Deucalion the authority to create creatures."

"If he doesn't want to, Deucalion can die."

"Then command Epimetheus to give his daughter Pyrrha his share of power."

"I want to see, this time, who else dares to claim to be the only god of mankind and provide them with shelter."

Then he looked at Poseidon, and his tone could not be refused: "The flood will destroy the world, leaving no one behind."

Poseidon was born with a bold and unrestrained temperament, not sticking to trifles.

He didn't care about the tone of Zeus's order, but laughed loudly: "That's right, that's it, no one will be left."

Laughing, he flew out of Olympus and landed on the sea.

He and Triton, son of Amphitrine, the queen of the sea, sent his trident.

Poseidon held this artifact high, and huge waves swept towards the world like the wind on the ground.

Although these winds and waves are just a big wind and rain to the earth, they are deadly scythes to human beings.

They panic, they flee, they are helpless.

Under the full efforts of a top god in the world, the raging tide submerged everything, and the temples, houses, and palaces full of the flavor of the times were pushed down together, and the tide carried them to the depths of the sea.

Be part of the treasures of the sea that future generations yearn for.

On the sacred mountain of Olympus, the figure of Hades gradually disappeared, but Zeus heard him talking to himself.

"It's great, everything is finally on the right track."

……

In the world, Triptolemus looked at the huge waves that covered the sky and the sun.

He was completely shocked.

"Is this the true power of the gods?"

"It turns out that we are not even counted as ants."

But he laughed immediately: "I did it, they are in a hurry."

He opened his arms and laughed loudly at the incoming waves: "Hey!"

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Is that the so-called God?"

Then with a smile on his face, he was calmly involved in the wave.

But Triptolemus' journey isn't over yet.

In a blur of consciousness, he felt that he had left his physical body and was flying somewhere under the tug of a force.

So he woke up, and there was darkness in his eyes, and the river glowing red below.

There were countless humans flying around, their eyes closed tightly, as if they just fell asleep.

He found himself separated from the main force, flying into the dark depths of the unknown.

He fell to the ground and saw a beautiful goddess waiting for him.

She said: "Come with me, Hades has been waiting for you for a long time."
