That perfect body seemed to be dyed with a layer of blood-red paint, but although his face was pale, he had a rare stubbornness.
Zeus had always been perfect. Whether in the game or in reality, he is impeccable, as perfect as a work of art. Only at this moment did I finally see the stubbornness of a young man on his face.
Why
Why should my future be destined just because of my bloodline
"I have the blood of the gods." His voice was much quieter than before due to blood loss, but it was enough to silence the whole place, and you could hear a pin drop. The entire press conference was once again filled with only his voice: "But I am a human being. I am a human being from the beginning, and I will still be a human being until the moment I die."
Finny stood up silently, obviously already knowing the reason why Zeus held a press conference today. He put Zeus's arm on his shoulders, helped Zeus leave the podium, and disappeared.
… …
The whole world went crazy.
For a time, Zeus recognized the gods, but cut off his wings to show his identity as a human being. The incident swept the world. For Zeus, not surprisingly, two disagreements arise.
One side believes that if we divide our race, they will have different intentions. They think that Zeus is just trying to gain flesh and blood. If he continues to be allowed to lead the west, big things will happen in the future.
The other side was moved by Zeus abandoning his identity as a god and continuing to protect them. For Zeus, they choose to believe unconditionally.
The two differences are like wildfire, burning throughout the world.
And You Long knew that this wildfire was very scary. If he were not careful, the originally unified West would become torn apart, and it would even be more terrifying than the previous situation of the three kingdoms in the East.
Almost the night after the press conference, Youlong received a call from Zeus.
… …
"Youlong, do you believe me?"
After the call was connected, Zeus's first words were like this.
Looking at Zeus' face that had become extremely pale due to blood loss, You Long nodded without any hesitation: "I believe it."
Zeus was stunned when he heard You Long's direct answer, which was so direct that he almost didn't think about it. The next moment, he laughed and shook his head: "You are indeed my old enemy."
"There are no old enemies anymore. Our enemies are the gods." You Long reminded him. But Zeus felt his heart warm when he heard this.
Because Youlong is talking about "us".
The meaning of "we" refers to the human race. That means Youlong still regards himself as a human being.
"It's just that not everyone thinks that way."
"Who will care about them?" You Long remained expressionless.
"But some powerful people are ready to take action."
When You Long heard this, his heart moved: "United Council?"
Zeus nodded: "For the past three years, I have been suffocating the United Council. Now they finally have a name to officially resist me. They will not let this opportunity go."
"And the most important reason is... Youlong, I am very weak now."
Zeus's face was very pale. Zeus in this state was something You Long had never seen before.
"Those wings are not that simple, but one of the powers of the gods. Simply put, they are like important organs of human beings. The price of cutting them off is to fall into a state of severe weakness. I don't know when I will recover. "
You Long asked: "Where are Poseidon, Satan and others?"
"You Long, you know. The ten cities in the west need them. They can't just protect me and ignore the front. What's more, we now know that the Protoss has a mole. If they leave the front for too long, it will be easy to take advantage of it. You. Dragon, I hate to admit it, but I have to say──we are out of manpower now.”
"So you came to me." Although Youlong is not good at resourcefulness, he is still very smart. You can almost know the elegant meaning by hearing the string song.
"Yes, that's why I came to you." Still the same Zeus, the upright Zeus. He said bluntly: "You in the East are now unified and have enough manpower. If possible, I want you to send people to help me."
You Long had no objection to this. After all, although they were divided into two parts of the East, they were still human beings after all. If something goes wrong in the West, it will have a great impact on the final battle: "How do you want me to help you?"
Zeus's pale face really looked like he needed protection: "I'm as weak as ever. After all, some news can't be kept secret forever. If those who oppose me know about it, they will want to bite off a piece of me like hungry wolves. Meat."
"When my strength is restored, it will be time for me to suppress those voices. But before that, I need protection."
"It's very reasonable." Hearing this, You Long probably understood his thoughts. Although Zeus is very charismatic, this is war time, a time of war.
A leader without power will not be respected.
… …
To the west, Mount Olympus.
The pale Zeus sat alone on the throne, looking at Satan in front of the screen of light with a wry smile: "I'm really fine."
"I told you, I have my own arrangements."
Satan fell silent and did not speak. At the same time, this was a conversation between multiple people. On the other side of the light curtain, Poseidon said meaningfully: "Zeus, I heard some news."
Zeus said nothing, obviously he had heard about it.
Seeing Zeus's appearance, Poseidon also restrained his expression and said solemnly: "Zeus, be careful of Musashi. This man has a very crazy personality and has never been willing to submit to you. I heard that he is recruiting troops now and is preparing to attack …”
"Enough." Zeus shouted loudly: "Olympus are all my children. I will not believe anything without evidence."
Poseidon had obviously already guessed that Zeus would react this way, and he said calmly: "You need manpower."
"I have my own arrangements." Zeus smiled: "And he is a fairly trustworthy friend."
… …
The height of the parliament building in a western city is almost the same as that in the east. It’s just that compared to the Eastern ones, the Western buildings are obviously more primitive, and traces of various ancient Roman-style buildings can be seen everywhere. The entire body is made of stone and looks extremely rough.
It’s just that the Western Parliament Building looks so tall and majestic, just like light and darkness, there is always darkness.
In the basement of the mighty-looking parliament building, a meeting was being held.
These are the ten elders of the Western Parliament.
The Speaker of the West is not an old man like Ike of the East. On the contrary, he is a man in his prime. He is also a G, but his identity as a congressman is kept secret. No one knows his true identity.
There is only one power in the West, Olympus.
The hierarchical division of Olympus is almost the same as in the past - three gods, five palaces, four generals, and twelve palaces.
The twelve houses are named after the twelve constellations: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces.
No one would have expected that the Speaker of the West is the lord of Aries, the twelfth house in Olympus. All along, the identity of the palace owner of Aries Palace has been the same as that of He Shen in Yoda City of Dragon Alliance. Lord of Aries - auspicious.
