And they stayed motionless in Crete just to wait for themselves.
They believe in themselves too much.
"What are you going to do next?"
"Since you are back, Zeus, we must fight against Mount Olympus non-stop. If Cronus is not there, the defense will be empty. Now that the gap between the enemy and us is gradually widening, we need the location of Mount Olympus."
"Ah."
Zeus nodded, and everyone could see that Zeus's expression was not good.
It was only at this time that everyone realized that Zeus was nothing more than that. For a boy of this age, the sudden death of his mother, whom he had never met, could not have had no impact on him.
"How did you know about her death?"
"The mother goddess Gaia and Rhea have been in contact all these years, and the image of her death has also been transmitted through this mirror."
Metis handed over the mirror at the right time, and as long as Zeus instilled magic power, he could see Rhea's last appearance before death.
"I see. I just came back from Tartarus. I need a little time to recuperate. Give me a little time to rest, and then we will go to Olympus immediately."
Zeus took the mirror, and he looked relaxed as if he just took an ordinary object, and then walked towards the sea.
"Zeus seems calm."
Seeing Zeus' plain expression, the five brothers didn't know what to say for a while. Although Zeus didn't react at all when his mother died, it was very chilling, but leaders should not be swayed by emotions at such a critical moment.
"How could it be all right?"
"Boom~"
When Metis' words fell to the ground, the dark clouds over Crete began to gather, and there were continuous thunderstorms. Everyone on the island felt that this was not a normal weather change.
The power and anger contained in the roaring thunder made all the creatures on the island prostrate on the ground, and all the gods also felt that Zeus was angry.
"The power of heaven and thunder?"
Prometheus felt the thunder in the sky. This was not something that could be done so easily simply by having the power of thunder and lightning. It was mixed with the theocratic power of the first generation of god kings.
Zeus came to the seaside alone, and he looked at the image in the mirror. This was the first time he saw his mother in this world.
It stands to reason that Zeus already had adult consciousness when he first came to this world, and he and Rhea hadn't met much.
Even if you treat her as a stranger, there is nothing wrong with it.
but……
"Cronus, you dare to kill my horse."
"Boom~"
The thunder and lightning poured down and smashed several mountains and islands. The birds, beasts, and scaled creatures avoided this sudden natural disaster as long as they could, and those who could not leave silently prayed that the terrible punishment would not fall on their heads. superior.
Zeus told himself time and time again that the woman in front of him was not very familiar with him, but when he saw Rhea refusing to reveal anything about the six of them when facing death threats time and time again, there was always something in his heart. An extremely indescribable taste.
And all these emotions erupted at the moment when Cronus's hand raised the knife and Rhea's head fell to the ground.
If the original Zeus wanted to be recruited, and the later Zeus was forced to rebel, then the current Zeus really wants to take Cronus's ashes away.
Just you old man called Cronus Ang?
About the agreement of Tartarus?To hell with him.
……
On the coast, Metis has already prepared the boats to go to sea, and there are six thousand brothers and sisters on the sea to help her.
This will allow Zeus and others enough time to recharge their batteries and prepare for Cronus, who may attack at any time.
Now everyone gathered around the boat, waiting for the arrival of Zeus.
The dark clouds dissipated, and the thunder faded away.
When the sun broke through the dark clouds and sprinkled light on the earth, the white-haired boy happened to come out of the dark woods.
Light fell on his face, and his face smiled back.
It's just that Zaicheng's gods just separated a road on their own, and waited for him to board the boat before boarding the boat one after another.
Zeus seems to have changed.
Everyone feels this way, but what has changed?
No one can tell.
"How long will it take to get to Olympus from here?"
"Three days."
Prometheus responded.
He saw the barrenness of Olympus from clairvoyance, but it needed manpower to activate the enchantment on the mountain.
Three days is the time for Zeus and others to recruit humans to host the enchantment.
"Okay, let's go."
When Zeus's words fell to the ground, there was wind.
White sails are hoisted, a ship has left Crete, and the young gods are finally about to step up to the stage to clear away the pedantry of the old age.
ps: I recommend a book by a big guy ""
Chapter 45 The "Trial" of Zeus
The ship docked, and Zeus didn't receive any attacks along the way, but when they landed, they saw not a vibrant land, but a barren scorched earth.
Zeus was taken aback for a moment, he thought he had returned to Tartarus.
"Cronus is still unable to perfectly control his power at this time, and the power he vents is a disaster for the land and the creatures."
Through clairvoyance, Prometheus understood the reason for the desolation of this land, and suddenly gained strength and expanded heart. Every move of Cronus like this is a natural disaster for the surrounding.
"Help them, you also said we need men."
Zeus saw the fleeing team of human beings. They had nothing to eat and no clothing, and they were helpless in the face of sudden natural disasters in the future.
Although there are a few priests who can use magic in the tribe, they are helpless in the face of so many mouths, and they can't knead bread with their hands.
Magic has never been a miracle, and even miracles have a price.
"I want to meet your leader, please accept this as a gift."
Zeus brought with him several men dressed as warriors with stone weapons.
They were naturally full of vigilance, but when Zeus took out vegetables, fruits and delicacies from the Horn of Harvest, they hurriedly took the food and introduced Zeus and others to the priest.
"Does it make sense?"
Hades and Poseidon were obviously unhappy. As gods, why should they be polite to mortals.
Greeting ceremony?Not asking them to offer sacrifices is considered a great kindness.
"Who knows? Maybe our little brother can use each other."
Naturally, Hera didn't like humans either. Human beings were probably only pets for gods, and Hera didn't like dirty pets.
"Maybe it's because they are pitiful."
Demeter didn't have any opinions, and was taken away by Hestia after saying a word.
Hestia is probably the most sympathetic person among the five. She took her sister to help mortals light fires and cook, and screen out harmful food.
We are all living beings, there is no distinction between high and low.
"The servants on Mount Olympus are all from Cronus. It is impossible for us to use them to defend against Cronus's attack. These people can be used."
"Can't you just requisition it directly?"
Metis' answer naturally couldn't dispel the doubts of several people. They didn't understand why Zeus kept such a low profile.
Is it pure love overflowing?
"For ordinary people, this is just a natural disaster, but for the priests who are proficient in magic in the tribe, they understand that it is the power of Cronus, who caused them to be displaced, and what Zeus has to do is tell They, we are not like them."
One side is the evil god who sends punishment at will, and the other side is the good god who brings food. With such high and low judgments, anyone with a discerning eye can see who they should believe in.
"Instead of complaining here, you might as well learn from Hestia and help Zeus during the negotiation period. When everyone in the tribe knows the benefits of enclosing you, even if the priest does not agree Promise."
When Metis used the divine power of wisdom, she swept away the aura of Aqua in the past, and every time she thought of it, she was calculating gains and losses.
And Hestia's behavior of actively helping human beings, in her purely rational analysis, is a very worthwhile thing to do, and it is a kind of investment in the future.
One word awakened the dreamer, and Hera, Hades, and Poseidon glanced at each other. They didn't expect that it was the eldest sister Hestia, who was indifferent to the world, who immediately understood Zeus' thoughts.
Wait, if that's what Zeus really wanted, why didn't Zeus say so?
The three looked at each other with ugly faces. They looked at the indifferent Metis and the cheerful Prometheus. They now understood that the three of them were isolated.
Although it is not appropriate to say that it is isolated, it is in fact.
Prometheus and Metis did not take the initiative to attack during the period when Cronus was rapidly becoming stronger, but waited for Zeus to return, because they wanted to establish a small group with their three cores.
Among them, Prometheus provides information, Metis provides strategies, and Zeus is responsible for decisions.
And from the moment they stepped into this human tribe, Zeus began a test for them. The elder sister, Hestia, understood the meaning first, and started working with Demeter, but the three of them were stunned. You need to rely on reminders to understand the meaning in place.
This is Zeus's prestige. He cleverly used the condition that all the forces that can be drawn must be united now to force the remaining brothers to bow their heads and obey his arrangement.
Zeus didn't say it clearly, but the three of them had to do it. This was to confirm their leadership in the future team.
As long as the three of them honestly do what Zeus wants, then the three of them will not be considered isolated, but if they are disobedient... the future will be high-level cannon fodder.
"I see, we will help humans and show them the difference between our new god and the old god."
Hera and others also joined the ranks of Hestia.
In the current situation, they have no room for infighting at all, and it is not wrong for Zeus to propose his own leadership rights. After thinking about it carefully, Zeus has been running around since they left Cronus. He is very suitable to be the leader. only……
"It's just that I didn't expect him to adapt to his identity so quickly. He is not polite at all when he directs us."
Poseidon's words were somewhat of a complaint, but he did not slack off his work, using magic power to heal injuries, which is what they can do now.
Since Zeus wants to be a leader, he has to face the pressure that a leader should have, and his strength is enough.
"I think Zeus's change is because of his mother. You can feel it too. After his mother died, Zeus seemed to be holding back a burst of anger."
"Well, then it's like a volcano that's about to erupt."
Hades agreed with Hera's words. These days Zeus's words are obviously much less, and more often he is alone looking at the sea in a daze.
Of course, there may be something planned.
"But that's fine, a god with feelings always has something to look for, and Metis is the trouble."
Hera didn't think there was anything wrong with Zeus's behavior. After all, they didn't realize Zeus' intentions, because their skills were inferior to others.
But when the woman of Metis used the theocracy of wisdom, the cold feeling made Hera feel difficult.
Does Metis really have feelings in that state?
This may only be clear to Metis himself.
Chapter 46 Raised the knife on Luo, took the bird position
"First meeting, young god."
The priests of the tribe were said to be very decently dressed. After all, in this primitive era, the priests even had higher authority than the leaders. With the addition of mastering magic, his decency was also that of the tribe.
"Please also explain why you are here, our tribe will do our best to help you."
When Zeus entered the door, the priests determined Zeus's identity as a god, that is, his extremely high mystery.
The reason why magic is magic is its own mystery. Today's ignorant human beings can't understand the principle of magic at all, so it has a very high mystery.
The higher the mystery, the greater the power of magic, and once the principles of magic are spread, the mystery will drop sharply, making the originally powerful magic weak.
It is common sense for magicians that low-level mysteries will be ineffective in the face of high-level mysteries, and the mystery of Zeus as a god can already allow him to resolve most low-level magic without doing anything.
This kind of anti-magic power is simply a nightmare for magicians.
"I want to know, how many tribes like yours are there?"
"There are probably five or six more around here, but I don't know the places further away."
