Saint Seiya: From the Succession of the Underworld

not to mention.

Hera and Ares also knew that it was better to proceed with the transaction steadily and avoid doing anything futile, otherwise more unexpected things might happen, which would be bad.

Athena handed the two orbs of light to Ares and said calmly, "Ares, according to the deal, this is the position of war and victory. I don't know if you can succeed, but for you, me, or anyone else, this is the only chance."

Athena has already left with everything that remains.

Hera quietly said, "Ares, let's go. It's time for us to leave Olympus. In the future, we will truly return to Olympus once again."

·· ······Requesting flowers· ········

"Okay, mother."

Hera, Ares, and Aphrodite have all naturally retrieved their divine hearts.

after all!

Given the chaos Zeus has caused with Apollo and Hephaestus, it would be truly strange if the other gods didn't even try to retrieve their own divine hearts.

Can only say.

The entire Olympus was in turmoil, especially for Zeus, who felt no sense of belonging to any of the gods.

No solution.

Zeus, this mad god, was cruel, insane, and lustful...

This is almost Zeus's nature; no one is willing to submit to Zeus, otherwise, who knows when or what might happen!

Now that you have the opportunity to leave, it's best to leave as soon as possible.

otherwise.

It's possible that a huge change is about to occur.

……

Temple of the Gods.

Zeus sat enthroned on his throne, and he was able to perceive everything that was happening.

but.

Zeus, however, could do nothing. He was like a puppet, only able to sit quietly on his throne and wait for the laws to transform into concepts. Until then, he could not move an inch, except for the safety of his surroundings.

Can only say.

Zeus is not considered a true ancient god.

This is similar to Apollo. He wasn't a true god-king. He absorbed Abel's position as the sun god and the throne of the god-king, which is how he ascended to the level of a god-king.

And what about Zeus?

It was almost the same thing. Although Zeus took half a step, he could only take half a step. He knew very well what he was lacking.

. ..... 0

If Zeus wanted to truly become an ancient god, he either had to ascend the throne of the gods again and rely on its blessing to break through to the level of an ancient god.

Either...

Zeus's goal was to reclaim the origins and status of Hades and Poseidon, and after absorbing them, become the true third-generation king of the gods. Only then could he succeed.

However, the second path was clearly blocked, so the only option left was the first path.

"Hera."

"Ares."

"Athena."

"Artemis."

"Not bad!"

Zeus's voice was cold, even unusually indifferent, as he said, "Your choice is quite good, but rest assured, your choice will cost you a terrible price. I believe you will be able to bear the endless pain and humiliation!"

The twelve Olympian gods!

Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Hera, Demeter, Apollo, Artemis, Athena, Ares, Aphrodite, Hephaestus, Hestia.

These are the original twelve Olympian gods.

only……

With the outbreak of the War of the Three Kings.

Hades relinquished his position as one of the twelve Olympian gods, a position that was then inherited by Hermes.

and!

Poseidon lost his divine body, and he had no choice but to continue as one of the twelve Olympian gods.

later.

With Hestia abdicating, Dionysus succeeded her as one of the twelve Olympian gods.

Until now!

How many of the twelve Olympian gods are still alive today?

Poseidon and Hades: the former is sealed away, and the latter is dead.

Apollo and Hephaestus are dead.

Hera, Athena, Artemis, Aphrodite, and Ares, the five chief gods, have taken this opportunity to escape from Olympus.

At last!

These are Hestia and Demeter; the former had left Olympus long ago, while the latter had fled Olympus before.

Now, in all of Olympus, besides Zeus, there are only two other chief gods left.

Hermes and Dionysus.

Even Zeus, with his eyes closed, could figure this out with his knees.

Are his two sons truly loyal to him?

Stop it!

Those who are family know their own situation best. Zeus knew all too well that they had no choice. Compared to Ares and Athena, they had a better chance of advancing, and compared to Artemis, who had to leave, they simply had no other option.

So they chose to stay.

"Humph!"

Zeus thought of this and still gave a cold snort, saying indifferently, "They're still two obedient dogs."

"but……"

"The positions of these twelve main gods still need to be filled, otherwise it will always be troublesome."

"Hercules, Hermes, Dionysus."

Zeus spoke slowly and indifferently.

With Zeus's indifferent voice, three figures quickly entered the temple of the gods. They glanced at Apollo, who lay on the ground like a dead dog, and bowed their heads respectfully.

"Lord Zeus!"

The three deities bowed respectfully, not daring to overstep their bounds in the slightest. They were also very clear that they had no right to overstep their bounds.

……

Hercules.

Hermes.

Dionysus.

These three people.

They are now the three main gods of Olympus who are still publicly known.

That's not surprising.

In Zeus's eyes, if something doesn't even have a chief god, it doesn't deserve to be within his sight.

"..."

Zeus indifferently swept his gaze over the three of them.

The three lowered their heads even further. They had no choice; from beginning to end, they could only obediently listen.

After a while.

Zeus said indifferently, "Hercules, from this moment on, you are one of the twelve Olympian gods."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Hercules bowed his head even lower in respectful thanks.

of course.

In the eyes of the three, their choice was not wrong.

leave?

What's the point of leaving?

This is essentially a meaningless matter, at least for the three of them.

They have no possibility of going any further.

Then.

The best option is to stay, stay on Olympus, and not care about Zeus. But isn't Zeus strong? He was once the most powerful god-king, and now he is a true ancient god.

The benefits they would gain by following a being like Zeus are self-evident.

See the truth in trouble!

This may sound strange, but it is indeed the truth. Now, apart from his three sons who remained, everyone else has left, as far as Zeus is concerned.

He doesn't need to rely on his three sons, but given the face they've given him, shouldn't he at least offer them some benefits?

For them, even the smallest bit of good stuff that slipped through Zeus's fingers was more than enough, and the transformation it brought about was immense.

"good."

Zeus looked at the three of them and nodded quietly, saying, "Hercules, go and help Perseus reach the level of a chief god in the shortest possible time, making him one of the twelve Olympian gods."

"Lord Zeus, I will handle all of this."

Hercules bowed respectfully, indicating that there was no problem with it.

Perseus was indeed far inferior to Heracles.

but!

Perseus's talent is undeniable; he is currently at the pinnacle of the higher gods. At Zeus's request, with his help regardless of the cost, Perseus could easily ascend to the status of a chief god. Even if he were weaker, a chief god would still be a chief god.

in fact.

This also shows that Olympus has a very rich history and heritage.

Even under such circumstances of being abandoned by everyone.

Zeus could easily gather four more Olympian gods, and that didn't even take into account his hidden backup plans. If those were included, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he could easily raise another twelve Olympian gods.

Rage, lust, madness...

These are all labels associated with Zeus, but anyone who dares to say that Zeus is stupid is simply joking.

Quite the opposite!

Zeus was an extremely intelligent man, and he was also an extremely cunning strategist.

In that war between the various pantheons of the mythological era, the Greek pantheon emerged victorious, and Zeus was arguably the one who won the most victories.

Almost all the ancient gods were asleep.
