Upon hearing the statement about the twelve main gods, Zeus’s first reaction was a righteous rebuttal

"No, you are wrong, Master. In the entire Greek pantheon, among the twelve main gods of Olympus, isn’t one of them my relative? Aren’t they all my sisters, my queen, and my children? Is it difficult for you to expect me, a god-king, to betray my own relatives?"

In response to Zeus's doubts, Ye Ting just smiled indifferently.

"No, respected His Highness the God King, of course I do not expect the God King to bear the responsibility of betraying his relatives, but if there is a main god who is not related to anyone else, and even has complaints against His Highness the God King, if it is this main god If it's my lord, His Highness the God King can let him join the command of the Goddess Hecate."

"this……"Zeus was a little hesitant about Ye Ting's suggestion.

Of course, he was unwilling to start a war with Hecate, because with the current combat power of the Olympus pantheon, the only result would be a crushing defeat against this powerful goddess in front of him. Even if the entire army was not annihilated, It is also destined to lose its current dominant position in the entire Greek divine domain.

But he was quite unwilling to send a main god to join Hecate's command.

This is not because he really speaks so righteously and cares so much about his loved ones.

It’s because of family relationships that make the relationships within the entire Olympus pantheon complicated. Everyone is a family member, so naturally there will be disputes but they cannot be resolved through fights. Relying on family ties and blood relationships, Zeus can always maintain his status as the God King. Although many of the Olympian gods have a somewhat cold relationship with him, in the eyes of others who secretly eye his dominance - such as the other Titans - so many of Zeus' children have The strength of the Lord God makes him someone who cannot be offended.

Kinship is the basis for him to maintain his rule, but now it has also become his prison.

Once he personally sends one of his sisters or daughters to Hecate, it means that the biological relationship is no longer reliable. The breakdown of this relationship will cause the Olympus pantheon to fall apart and lose its dominance.

Zeus is quite clear about what he relies on to maintain his power and position.

But if there really is such a god who is not related to other gods and even has complaints in her heart, then sending her to Hecate will not be so difficult to accept. It is not normal to sacrifice outsiders to protect one's own people. Well, it can even be said outside in the future that this god took the initiative to betray the Olympus pantheon, but because of their past relationships, the Olympus gods reluctantly agreed.

So, is there such a God?

Zeus thought about it and found out that there was.

Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty.

Although this goddess was born from the essence of Zeus's grandfather Uranus, she has no biological relationship with them after all. She is an outsider who joined the Olympus pantheon midway.

As for the contradiction...

Although Zeus felt a little embarrassed when he mentioned this, the contradiction did exist.

For example, although she agreed to marry Hephaestus and become the daughter-in-law of Zeus, she actually hated Hephaestus. According to Hephaestus' private complaints, he did not even touch Aphrodite. Once.

This made Hephaestus and many people in Olympus a joke.

And Zeus doesn't even duty her from this perspective.

Because not only Hephaestus, but also any other gods who pursued her were rejected by this goddess who can be called the most beautiful. As the goddess of love and beauty, she actually insisted on chastity. This was something Zeus It seems like a big joke.

However, not only did the joke come true, it also gave him the moral upper hand among the Olympians.

Even Hera often used this to ridicule Zeus, saying that he was a bastard who only had carnal desires and no love in his heart. The goddess in charge of love herself was the standard of love. Compared with her, Zeus was simply the other extreme.

For such a troublesome character, it seems like a good choice for her to join Hecate's side.

So, Zeus made a decision

"You're referring to Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, right? If it were her, I could give it a try. Of course, it still depends on what she wants."

"Of course," Ye Ting nodded,"Then His Majesty the God King can go and ask. In short, whether it is war or peace, it depends on His Majesty the God King."

So Zeus temporarily stopped the negotiation and returned to the gods.

He relayed the conditions of Ye Ting and Hecate. Although the gods had some complaints about paying half of the treasure house to their opponents, most of them agreed..After all, although this treasure house nominally belongs to the entire pantheon, it has always been equivalent to the private property of Zeus. Now that other people's private property is used as war compensation, the gods have no feelings.

Next is about Aphrodite. conditions.

However, Zeus played a little trick here. He did not say that Hecate needed any goddess among the main gods to join her, but only said that Hecate needed Aphrodite to join her.

This Now, the pressure falls entirely on Aphrodite.

People are selfish, and so are gods.

Most people, or most gods, are not willing to sacrifice themselves for the benefit of others, but They are generally willing to count on the sacrifices of others to benefit themselves.

But gods also want face. If you ask them to identify a god to sacrifice, it will naturally be difficult for him to make a choice in order to maintain his apparent righteousness..

But now, Zeus helped them make a choice in advance.

The multiple-choice question has now become a true-false question.

Zeus also deliberately said to Aphrodite hypocritically:"If you are not willing, our Olympus pantheon will Even if the entire army is wiped out, he will not surrender to Hecate."

Looking at the righteous face of Zeus in front of her, Aphrodite felt cold in her heart.

Zeus didn't know that Aphrodite was actually on the same side as the opposite party.

When Ye Ting was negotiating with Zeus, in fact, The magic of the spiritual link has long been activated, allowing Aphrodite to share his perspective.

Therefore, Aphrodite knows what the original negotiation conditions are.

Although Aphrodite has always She didn't like Zeus or the Olympus pantheon very much, but now Zeus's reaction still disappointed her.

"Sure enough, in their eyes, I have always been an outsider."

Thinking about this, Aphrodite was silent for a long time and finally spoke.

Her tone of voice did not contain any emotion.

"I agree to this condition."_
