Greek Mythology: Lord of the Underworld

Chapter 96 Chapter 095, the end of the Titan pantheon, retreating to the background of the times

Seeing this, Zeus and Poseidon smiled slightly and turned to look at their brother Hades, hoping that he could persuade Themis to bury his accompanying artifacts in the underground labyrinth.

Faced with the looks from the two cheap brothers, Hades looked at them calmly.

The atmosphere was awkward and silent for a few seconds.

Zeus and Poseidon felt a little embarrassed. Looking at their calm and scary brother made them feel uncomfortable for a long time. In the end, they looked away.

It seems that Hades is not going to persuade him anymore...

Zeus and Poseidon looked at each other at the same time, silently thinking of this in their hearts.

After thinking about it, Zeus and Poseidon decided to speak in person, and looked at Themis again with a smile: "Dear Goddess of Justice, please."

Themis nodded. This time she did not look at Hades, but directly summoned her companion artifact: the Scale of Order, and moved forward.

But just as she took a step forward, the next moment, Themis' jade shoulders were held down by Hades from behind.

Themis turned back in confusion, blinked, and looked at Hades with an innocent and confused look.

This woman... The corners of Hades's mouth twitched, but his eyes quickly returned to calm. As soon as the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back silently without saying a word.

Hades knew that his aunt was pretending to be innocent for her, huh? To be precise, I am pretending not to understand!
Knowing that he would definitely reject Poseidon and Zeus, so he confidently left the choice to himself at the beginning, but now he deliberately does this, it's really...

Hades didn't know what to say now.

"..."

Poseidon and Zeus looked at this scene and opened their mouths to say something, but no sound came out. After being speechless for a long time, Zeus regained his composure, glanced at Hades thoughtfully, and said, "Okay, my dear brother respects your idea. The goddess of justice is the most respected goddess among all gods. , she can leave behind her own companion artifact."

Poseidon smiled and nodded: "Indeed, the goddess of justice does not need to lose her companion artifact. This is conducive to maintaining fairness and justice. This is conducive to maintaining the world. My thoughts are the same as yours, my brother."

Soon, the two kings made a decision readily, respecting the opinion of their brother Hades. Since Hades wanted to protect Themis, it was hard for them to say anything else.

When Mnemosyne heard this, her eyes widened, full of surprise and disbelief. Her doubtful eyes swept back and forth between Zeus, her husband, and Poseidon, the King of the Sea. I can’t believe that what I just said came out of these two mouths!
What goddess of justice is so respected that she wants to uphold fairness and justice, so she doesn’t have to bury her accompanying artifact? !
What's the point? !

Then she is also the goddess of words and memory!

Why doesn't anyone speak up for her?

After a while, Mnemosyne accepted the reality, her eyes returned to coldness, her face was still expressionless, but there was a sneer in her heart: "It's really ridiculous, what is respected, what is conducive to maintaining fairness, lies ! These are just your lies!"

"It's just because I don't want to offend Hades!"

Because of the protection of Hades, Themis, the goddess of justice, and her sister, avoided repeating the fate of her and her brothers and sisters, losing their authority, and handing over their accompanying artifacts to the fate of being buried. !
Mnemosyne's cold eyes couldn't help but look towards Themis, her eyes couldn't stop showing envy, and she couldn't help but think in her heart, maybe if she didn't choose Zeus, she would still choose Hades, then Will the results be different today?
Will Hades also protect himself? So that she would not be forced to hand over her companion artifact.

Thinking of this, Mnemosyne became even more dissatisfied with her husband Zeus.

At first, she suspected that she was blind, so she listened to Zeus' sweet words. She didn't even hold a wedding banquet or even a simple ceremony, so she supported Zeus without hesitation.

Thinking about it now, Mnemosyne felt extremely regretful.

But Mnemosyne's dissatisfaction was not noticed by Zeus. At this moment, Zeus and Poseidon were filled with joy.

The three kings were undoubtedly in the same camp before the position of God King was determined. Since they were in the same camp, they had to make the same things and decisions.

And Hades, their brother, had previously agreed to bury the accompanying artifacts of the 12 Titans, but he changed with Themis and chose to protect Themis.

This is undoubtedly a foul!

Therefore, in the future competition for the king of gods, Themis' help to Hades is countless!

These are the rules, the default rules, the will of the world.

Hades knew this.

Zeus and Poseidon are very willing to see this, after all! Winning the vote of Themis, a powerful female Titan, will be very helpful for them to ascend to the position of God King in the future.

After all, as one of the 12 Titans, Themis's strength means that her vote is worth the votes of many gods.

Or it can be said clearly that the votes of some gods are not worth mentioning at all. After all, they are weak and have no right to speak, let alone the right to vote.

After throwing the remaining accompanying artifacts of the Titan God that were sealed into the abyss of hell into the underground labyrinth, Zeus activated his authority and used his divine power to seal the underground labyrinth.

The entrance to the dark cave in front of him was sealed, and a ruin made of gravel was buried above it.

After doing all this, Zeus showed a smile on his face, looked at the gods in front of him, including the Titans with not so good-looking faces except Themis, and said: "Okay, everyone, we should return to Olympus. Holy Mountain, hold a grand banquet, now it’s time to celebrate the victory!”

"I think it is already filled with the world's creations, delicious creations. This will be an unprecedented feast!"

"Go ahead, dear Three Kings. We, the sinful gods left over from the old era, will not attend the divine banquet."

Hyperion suddenly spoke, "I bid farewell to the three kings here. My brothers and sisters and I will return to our respective places. Olympus is not a place we can go. After all, we are the gods of sin. "As he spoke, Hyperion glanced at his brothers and sisters. Except for Themis next to Hades, the other brothers and sisters all nodded expressionlessly, indicating that he and Hyperion Leon means the same thing.

Their accompanying artifacts were forcibly deprived, and now they naturally have no shame when facing the three kings, including Zeus's wife Mnemosyne.

Dazzled by anger, they forgot one thing. The current era is an era that favors the three kings and belongs to the three kings. Their era has passed.

And now that the three kings are still in the same camp, their move is undoubtedly challenging the dignity of the three kings, and even more so, the dignity of the future successor to the God King.

The majesty of the God King cannot be challenged. The God King is supreme and is above all the gods. Therefore, you must first be like a God King before the world can recognize your authority as a God King and grant you God. King's authority.

The three kings used their authority together, and the majestic pressure of divine power fell from the sky, stopping the Titans who were about to leave.

Feeling the power of the God King mixed with this pressure, Hyperion and his brothers and sisters realized that the current era was ruled by three kings, and they were no longer the noble Titans of the past. God.

"Dear uncles and aunts, there is no need to leave in such a hurry. Since you are not imprisoned in the abyss of hell, you have a reason to exist in this world."

Zeus smiled to show his magnanimity: "Besides, as I said just now, as long as you hand over the accompanying artifact, the sins on your body will be eliminated. We three kings will no longer hold you accountable. You should join us. Enjoy this grand party!”

"Okay, let's go then..."

Hyperion nodded, but was interrupted by Zeus before he finished speaking: "Of course, since Hyperion also mentioned the God of Sin just now, I suddenly realized that there is still sin in the Sun God, so why not leave it like this, from now on? Leave the sun to your eldest son to run."

"What do you think of this suggestion? Hyperion, I think this can wash away your sins. Please don't be too harsh on yourself."

Zeus looked at the ugly-looking Titan Hyperion in front of him with a smile. He was the first Titan to take the lead in saying that he wanted to leave. There is no doubt that the one who takes the lead will always be beaten first.

Hyperion's face turned ugly for a time. Zeus did this for his own good, but who couldn't see that it was a punishment?
His divine power is the sun god, and what he controls is the movement of the sun. Now let him hand over his power, position and ability to his eldest son. What is the difference between this and depriving him of his divine position?
His eldest son, Helios, was the sun god and already had some of the same authority as him. If he was allowed to run the sun, there would be no doubt that this would enhance his status as a god.

There is only one sun god, and now it is Hyperion, but what about in the future? In the future, when he stops moving the sun, he will gradually fade in the eyes of the gods in the world and lose the meaning and value of his existence. Then Helios will become the new sun god!

Replace his existence!

And once his son becomes the new Sun God, his status and authority will definitely be reduced, possibly to a higher god!

Hyperion couldn't imagine what he would do if he really got to that point.

But now there was no time for him to think. Zeus spoke again with a smile: "Hyperion, my dear uncle, what are you waiting for? Or are you saying you don't want to wash away your sins?"

"No, Zeus, you are thinking too much. I want to wash away the sins on my body."

Hyperion had no choice but to nod in agreement: "I, the Sun God, announce to the world that from now on, the movement of the sun will belong to my eldest son, Helios!"

Hyperion said this sentence almost word for word. Even though his heart was filled with unwillingness and aggrievedness, he could only do this. After all, compared to falling from the divine throne, being locked up in the abyss of hell forever was Among them, it is undoubtedly more terrifying!

After saying these words, Hyperion's color instantly turned extremely pale. He was in a daze before his eyes and could not stand still. He instantly lost all his strength and collapsed on the ground.

As he spoke to the world, the world also responded. A chain of laws appeared, taking effect immediately. From now on, the sun will be run by Helios, and Helios will become the new leader. of the sun god.

And Hyperion will gradually fade out of the sight of the gods. From now on, there will be very few gods in the world who still remember his existence.

"very good."

Seeing Hyperion who had lost all his strength and collapsed on the ground with a dazed look in his eyes and still breathing heavily, Zeus was satisfied. He turned to look at his two brothers and said with a smile: "Why? Like? My dear two brothers, do you think this punishment is enough?"

Hades and Poseidon nodded.

But the matter is not over yet. Under the gaze of the gods, this god has begun to fall. The former sun god Hyperion, with the support of his wife Theia, stood up reluctantly. After being silent for a while, he looked at his stiff face. He forced a smile on his face.

Later, he will follow the three kings to the Olympus Mountains to attend a grand banquet. Even if it is not voluntary, he must show that he is willing to participate.

Not only him, but also all his brothers and sisters must also act like they are eager to participate. After all, they have all seen the tragic experience of Hyperion just now. They dare not offend the three kings and become the second poor one. of Hyperion.

Hades watched this scene quietly, looking at Hyperion who was once arrogant but now in a state of embarrassment, without any disturbance in his heart.

Hyperion's fate has not fluctuated and is still developing according to the normal timeline. This is normal. After all, since the War of Gods, Hyperion has gradually disappeared from the sight of the gods.

Instead, the sun god known to the gods was his son Helios.

And Hyperion, the ancient, original sun god, seemed to have disappeared and never appeared in the world again.

Things here have come to a complete end, and the gods have left one after another and rushed to Olympus, where a grand banquet will be held.

When the gods rushed back to Olympus, the feast of the gods began.

The banquet on the sacred mountain lasted for about several months. During this period, all the gods were enjoying the happy time.

Of course, not all Olympus gods can participate in this banquet. There are requirements for divine status, and they must be at least the first level of the main god.

As the banquet is coming to an end, the atmosphere in the temple has obviously become a little subtle, because it is time to discuss business, "the ownership of the position of the God King!"
