Gods, I am the ancient Greek god of joy

Chapter 10 You! You can get out now!

Fortunately, there is no need to worry too much now. The Godhead of Joy is mysterious to begin with, and those two did not expect that the Godhead of Joy could suppress his mental control.

After some time, when Zeus has stabilized his condition, he should go to Tartarus to visit the first two gods. They have been awake for too long, so it is better to let them fall asleep as soon as possible.

Tartarus was originally one of the gods at the beginning of creation, but it has become eternal darkness. Now it is a prison used to imprison those gods who cannot be erased. Only the King of Gods has the right to enter and exit. This time, Zeus plans to use the authority of the King of Gods to put them into a complete sleep, so that they don't have to keep planning to attack the earth.

However, since the underworld is the closest place to Tartarus, Hades feels that it is not safe for Zagros to stay in the underworld. He has already helped Zagros to resist several attacks, but he cannot keep watching Zagros all the time.

So he planned to let Zagros leave the underworld and return to the human world, which was Zeus's territory. With him there, he could protect Zagros to the greatest extent, and by the way, he and Persephone could continue to live in their own world.

So, early the next morning, Zagreus looked at the dazzling sunlight outside, rubbed his eyes that were a little uncomfortable, and stood at the junction of the underworld and the human world with a dazed look on his face. He wanted to go back and take a look, but was stopped by the barrier of the underworld.

The power of Hades was clearly flowing above, and some words appeared on the barrier. Zagreus summarized it as follows: You have grown up and are a mature god. You should not stay in the underworld and waste your best years.

It's time to go out and look for your biological parents. My great Pluto and Queen will enjoy their hard-earned time alone. You! You can get out now!

"Well! Am I being disliked? The son of Hades was actually kicked out. It seems that I can only seek refuge with the great Zeus."

Sure enough, just as this thought arose, a wave came from the distant divine realm, followed by a gust of wind passing by, and a young god holding a snake staff suddenly appeared in front of him.

He is Hermes, one of the main gods, and currently the youngest son recognized by Zeus (those demigods and half-humans are not counted, Hermes is a real god). This main god holds many priesthoods. At first, he was the most primitive road god. He is also one of the few gods who can enter and exit the underworld freely.

It can send the dead souls to the underworld, but those ordinary souls will naturally be sent by his subordinates. The main Greek god focuses on the coexistence of humans and gods, so there are always some gods' descendants who have to ask the main god for escort after death, which also leads to the main god's extensive network of contacts.

He is also the god in charge of commerce and trade, and one of the main gods of wealth. Most of the fine wine brewed by Zagreus in the past was sold to this god, so the relationship between the two is pretty good.

However, this time Hermes came as Zeus's messenger to take Zagros back to the realm of gods. Zeus already knew that Zagros could not see his own horn. If he was allowed to go to the realm of gods alone, it would be easy for something to go wrong, so he asked Hermes to pick him up.

When the two returned to the realm of gods, Zagros walked to the temple of Zeus alone. Hermes felt a little scared when he saw Hera on the throne, so he pushed Zagros in hurriedly, closed the door considerately, and left the temple quickly.

Zagreus was not afraid. He had come to this hall more than once when he was a child, and even sat on the throne of the God King and played with the terrifying divine thunder more than once. But when he grew up, he knew how to avoid suspicion and would only come in when offering fine wine.

But this time, he was still a little nervous when looking at Zeus and Herazagreus, but he still performed the proper etiquette to them. Then he used his divine power to take out fine wine from his Temple of Elysae and gave it to the two as a gift.

Ever since he was thrown out by Hades, Hades did not show any mercy and separated his temple from the underworld and turned it into a golden armband and wore it on his arm.

Zeus and Hera were not mortals either, so they did not show much emotion. They just smiled and nodded, accepted the gifts, and motioned for him to sit down.

"Hades told me that you already know everything. At present, you are still the son of Hades. You don't need to change your name to us. As long as you are within the divine realm, we will protect you as much as possible.

Although you are the son of Hades, you are also the god of fruit and wine, so you can just be the same as before. After a while, you can go to Tartarus with me to get rid of the curse on you."

Zagreus nodded, and Hera set up the temple for him, but ordered the servants to remove all the mirrors. Zagreus, as in the past, had no one to take care of his Temple of Elysae. He brewed some fine wine for the gods for social purposes, and finally lived a leisurely life of eating and waiting for death.

However, this period was not without gains. First of all, he planted countless crops in his little Elysee, mostly fruits, which were specifically used to make fine wine.

His godhood of joy is a superior main godhood, which can be rarely perceived except by beings at the main god level. His godhoods of fruit, wine, drama, etc. are all derived godhoods that serve joy.

However, he discovered that the fine wine he brewed in the divine realm could bring more enjoyment to the gods, and his godhood of joy also grew a lot stronger, so he often appeared in the outside world in the name of the god of wine, and many temples of the god of wine were built for him in the mortal world.

These temples sell countless fine wines to the outside world in the name of the god of wine every year. Zagreus taught his followers several wine-brewing techniques, among which wine and beer were the most popular in the world. Therefore, countless grapes were planted around his temples, and even the statues of the gods were wearing vines on their heads.

Since his fine wine brought joy to countless people, he was also regarded as a god who brought joy to mankind. Since his beliefs did not conflict with those of other gods, his temples were established smoothly in various places.

The wine he brewed was regarded as a treasure of art in terms of both color and taste. Even the gods praised it highly. This led to wine becoming a must-have for upper-class social interactions and the best way to spread the belief in Dionysus.

But he was not satisfied with simply harvesting the faith of those in power, and he used wheat to make cheap ale (beer). The emergence of ale made mortals from the lower class feel the charm of wine. Over time, both mortals and gods strongly sought after the fine wine brewed by Zagreus.

Fine wine brought huge wealth, and countless wine merchants were also the most devout believers of the god of wine. They traveled around selling wine, which also provided Zagreus with a lot of power of faith, and temples in the world appeared one after another.

However, Zagros does not attach much importance to these beliefs or all the higher gods.

The reason why the upper gods are in the upper positions is that they are almost the embodiment of rules. Even without the power of faith, they can become powerful over time. The power of faith is just the icing on the cake.

Secondly, the main godhead at the higher level can evolve other subordinate godheads to provide them with power, just like Zagreus's drama and wine can provide the main godhead with the power of joy, just like Zagreus recently discovered that his godhead of food and banquet is about to take shape.

However, the abilities of these subsidiary godheads are not necessarily possessed by one person. Many higher gods have some subsidiary godheads with overlapping functions, just like wealth. Every god has some related abilities or artifacts, but these conditions are only limited to higher gods. Lower gods still need faith to maintain their godhead.
