Chapter 304: Those who blaspheme the faith

Views:

Zeus discussed one thing with Amon. He wanted to take revenge on Marduk, not through a direct fight between the gods, but through human means.

The reason is simple, the Olympus gods never took the initiative to provoke conflicts with the Great Bright gods where Marduk is. But Marduk brought the flames of war to the Heaton Peninsula and provoked the dispute. Zeus' character is very straightforward, and he will respond to what Marduk does.

In fact, these two gods have already fought in some way in the human world. Marduk incarnated as Darius, king of Pots, and Zeus incarnated as Leoni, king of Kibata. Each led an army to fight at Thermopylae. As a result, it led to the resistance of the United Kingdom of Heaton. The Hippocratic War lasted for many years, and finally the Potts army was repelled.

The instigator was Marduk. After the Bozi army withdrew from the Heaton Peninsula, Darius died, and Marduk left to create his free world. But Zeus didn't think it would stop there. Marduk could decide how to start, but Zeus couldn't let him decide how to end alone.

Regardless of whether Marduk is still alive or not, the vast territory of the Bozi Empire is already the domain of the great light god Mazda, which is certain. Zeus's counterattack plan is very clear. He wants to join hands with Amon to annex the so-called Great Light God Realm, just like Marduk once annexed the Anunah God Realm.

The Potts Empire is an unprecedented behemoth on the Tianshu Continent. This wish of Zeus sounds shocking. How could he use the small Heaton Peninsula as his origin to accomplish such an incredible goal? But that's exactly what Zeus thought. If he wasn't such a god, he wouldn't have achieved his current status as the Lord of Olympus.

However, after the Persian army retreated, the Heaton Peninsula fell into a chaotic situation where the city-states fought for hegemony. The gods of Olympus still operated independently in the world, and the Heaton Peninsula was divided into many large and small separate gods. Marduk has unified such a vast domain of gods, and Zeus has not even managed the small Heaton Peninsula, so what is there to talk about against Marduk

The current situation of Olympus God's Domain is caused by historical reasons. Zeus merged and inherited the original kingdom of gods and created the kingdom of Olympus. He also allowed the gods to build independent palaces in the kingdom of God and attach themselves to the kingdom of gods to create an independent world of creators. In addition to obeying the will of Zeus in the kingdom of God Apart from that, the rest of the things do not interfere.

This is the oath when this god system was first established, and it is also the promise Zeus made to the gods after he won the battle of the gods, and it is mapped to the gods in the world, which is the current situation.

The era of city-states on the Heaton Peninsula was not only an era of constant disputes and conflicts, but also an era of collisions and explosions of ideas. That's why Amon met so many sages. Come to the bizarre and even weird thinking, you can still see so many wonderful human dramas in the city of Yalun.

It is obviously not easy for Zeus to integrate this situation without violating his promise to the gods.

He needs to support a powerful city-state, unify the Heaton Peninsula in a true sense, and then cross the strait westward to conquer the entire Persian Empire. Judging from the map of Tianshu Continent, Zeus' plan is to let an ant swallow an elephant, and only gods like him and Amon dare to think about it!

But the city-state chosen by Zeus will not be Yalun or Kibata. In fact, on the contrary, Zeus wants to punish these two city-states and make them suffer the fate of being conquered and declining.

So which city-state will accomplish this almost unimaginable grand plan? The result of the discussion between the two lords of heaven - let Amon choose, as long as the main god believed by this city-state is Zeus. They cooperate to complete this matter as "God" and "Human" respectively.

Since Amon "cannot be a god", of course he has to act as a mortal. And Zeus is still the lord of the Olympian kingdom of heaven, and will send oracles to give all cooperation. If facing the gods of the great light gods, the gods of the Olympus gods and their envoys will solve the problem.

This is the division of labor between "gods" and "humans", and it is also in line with the historical conventions between gods and mortals. It's just that this time the situation is quite special. The "mortal" who made a covenant with the "god" became Amon.

Zeus is very scheming, where can he find an outstanding "mortal" like Amon? And Amon didn't know why he agreed to cooperate with Zeus. Zeus wanted to prove his achievements, while Amon was exploring the path of proof in his attempts.

After the two gods reached an agreement, Zeus said: "In the future, the entire Heaton Peninsula will achieve true unity. When we leave the Heaton Peninsula and enter a new God's Domain, you and I can each use our own means to spread the guidance of the gods. But you promised Letting the gods of Olympus enter your divine domain is just because of your different vows, not your extra generosity, and I will not thank you at that time."

Amon smiled bitterly and said: "This is a matter of annexing the Potts Empire after unifying the Heaton Peninsula. At that time, each will use his own means. This is like doing business. Now that the business has not yet opened, I am thinking about how to divide it Property, it is too early!"

Zeus raised his wine glass and laughed loudly: "Then wish us all come true!"

Amon also raised his wine glass, and the two looked at each other and smiled, but Zeus's expression suddenly froze for a moment. The wine glasses are moving forward in the air, but it seems that they will never collide! Zeus saw Amon's eyes, and the hut, the farm, and the world on the outskirts of Midori disappeared from him. The other world shown in Amon's eyes completely contained Zeus.

When drinking the first glass of wine just now, Zeus suddenly made a "sneak attack" on Amon. After the two of them finished discussing the matter, they toasted again, but Amon suddenly got into trouble and returned the favor.

The hut is gone, and they sit drinking in another world. There is a strange dividing line between the two. Amon is sitting in a desert, facing the picturesque fields and mountains; Zeus is sitting on the grassland, facing the desert that is burning with flames and emitting thick smoke —This is the kingdom of heaven created by Amon.

Zeus's glass of wine could not cross the boundary and touched Amon's wine glass, which was equivalent to being trapped in the world shown in Amon's eyes. At this time, Amon saw Zeus smiling, and a world was reflected in his eyes - towering mountains, clouds floating among the peaks, and many exquisite palaces floating in the air, like embellishments among the mountains, It is the Kingdom of Olympus.

Zeus escaped from the shackles of Amon's great magic power, as if he had returned to his own heaven, and seemed to invade Amon's heaven with the heaven created by his soul. There was only a sound of "ding", and the wine glasses touched each other lightly, and everything returned to the original state, and this confrontation was evenly divided.

It was already late at night outside the hut, and the sky above the farm was full of stars. The battle between the two gods was silent in the world, but it shocked the kingdom of God they each created. When Medanzuo noticed that someone had entered the vineyard, he immediately pulled out the key of fate and went outside the hut, only to see two gods standing against each other: one was Artemis, whom he had known for a long time, and the other was Artemis. The Apollo he had seen on the stage.

Apollo held a golden bow, and Artemis held a silver bow. Neither of them raised their bows and arrows, but they just guarded each other. Seeing Metanzor approaching, Artemis nodded to him, but Apollo glared at him.

At this time, another god appeared outside the hut, which was Hermes, the main god of the city-state of Midori, holding a staff. Hermes said to the two gods, "Please don't do anything to me."

Artemis replied blankly: "I didn't violate the agreement, I just stared here to see if anyone else wanted to violate the agreement."

Apollo also replied coldly: "If Amon and Zeus do it, it will be an invasion of another god system, and it has nothing to do with our agreement."

Medanzuo didn't know what to do, so he changed his mind and stood by Artemis' side. At this time, he heard the resonant voice of Scorpion King Sishui again in his soul: "What's the matter, did God Amon go so far to fight? Do you want us to help?"

Mei Danzuo secretly replied: "Don't worry, I don't know the situation of Amon and Zeus. It is estimated that there will be no fight. The gods of Olympus are just making fun of themselves. If they really do it, Amon will not be able to beat them." Can't you run away?"

The voice from Surabaya shouted again: "Of course God Amon can escape, but you may not be able to escape, Medan Zuo! But don't worry, I and all the angels in the kingdom of heaven will avenge you."

Not to mention how Mei Danzuo secretly scolded Surabaya in his heart, the atmosphere outside the hut was a bit tense. Zeus and Amon in the room were naturally aware of the situation outside, but they were still speaking in a leisurely manner. After the two drank the last glass of wine, Amon said with a smile: "It's so chaotic outside, I guess you also have a headache, no wonder you have such thoughts. If Marduk didn't disturb the water, you really wouldn't have the right opportunity to go Clean up the entire Divine Realm."

Zeus sighed: "I became King Leoni of Kibata, and my original intention was to truly unite the United Kingdom of Heaton, but it turned out to be the current situation, so I had to start from scratch... Amon, I also want to remind you , Keeping a certain promise requires paying a certain price, this price is not as simple as a silver coin, there are always things in the world that you don't want to see."

Amon nodded slightly and said: "I know very well, but this is exactly what I want to experience."

The door of the hut opened, and Zeus came out and closed the door, frowning, and asked, "What are you all doing here? I just harvested grapes and earned a god stone. You also want to work to earn money. Come to help Amon brew wine?"

Apollo put away his golden longbow and said, "Father of the gods, I'm just on guard to prevent the invasion of another god system."

Zeus waved his hand: "It's okay, Amon and I are just drinking and chatting."

Hermes said: "Father of the gods, I am the main god of Midori."

Zeus replied blankly: "I am very clear, and Amon is also clear! Nothing you worry about will happen. When the grapes become fine wine, Amon will leave the city-state of Midori. Put away your staff. , that was just a toy in my eyes."

After Zeus finished speaking, he stepped into the void. Apollo turned around and left, but Hermes stayed where he was.

Artemis put away her silver bow, stared at Hermes and said, "Why don't you leave?"

Hermes was taken aback: "This is my God's Domain, I should be the one asking you this question!"

Mei Danzuo also put away the key of fate, and smiled at Hermes: "You, you, you don't even wink at all! The whole city-state is your domain, why don't you stay in other places, you have to be blocked Is this door disturbing people's meeting?"

Only then did Hermes come to his senses, he snorted and stomped his feet and disappeared. At this time, Amon pushed the door and came out, smiled at Artemis and said, "There is nothing that worries you, but thank you for coming."

Artemis pouted slightly, with resentment in his tone: "You ran here quietly, didn't even say hello, and let Zeus come to the door! Fortunately, there is nothing wrong, otherwise I don't know how to help you. Who... can you tell me what you and Zeus talked about?"

Amon nodded and said, "I have nothing to hide from you. If you want to know, I will tell you the truth. It's cold at night, let's go into the room and talk."

Amon opened the door and invited Artemis in. The moment he opened the door, Mei Danzuo was surprised to find that the scene in the hut had changed. Behind the door was a manor, exactly like Amon's territory in Eju back then! Medanzo happened to see the Best Temple in the backyard of the manor—Schrödinger's favorite place.

The door closed, and Mei Danzuo also left knowingly. As he walked, he was still muttering in his heart: "The means of the gods are really amazing, and the small Heaton Peninsula is also full of high-level people. It seems that I am still far behind! I have followed God Amon for the longest time, and the experience I have experienced There are many things, but when can we transcend eternal life?"

Why did Zeus punish the two city-states Jaaron and Kebadah? It is not because their main god is not Zeus, this is an agreement among the gods of Olympus, and Zeus has no reason to interfere; nor is it because they started the civil war on the Heaton Peninsula, which is a dispute between city-states in the world, and Zeus does not will directly intervene.

The most important reason is that these two city-states colluded with the Potts Empire successively during the civil war. In order to defeat each other, they did not hesitate to invite back the enemies they had expelled together. This is intolerable to Zeus, people offended the father of the gods.

How did this happen? Why did Yalun and Kibada go to hook up with the Potts Empire? The matter also begins with a despicable and unscrupulous careerist named Fox.

There is a kind of people in the world who only have utilitarian ambitions without any real beliefs and beliefs. This kind of people don't care who they are against, or whom they submit to. They have no righteousness, no honor and shame in their hearts, and they can use any means to realize their ambitions.

They are different from those idealists who work hard with faith. The so-called ambition is just to prove the self-conceived personal success.

However, such people often dress themselves up as believers or even saints, uttering all kinds of touching words, expressing respect for gods and describing lofty ideals. But they have no real faith in their hearts, and all the glory they proclaim are just steps to climb up under their feet.

True atheists have no glory but no fault in the eyes of the gods, because even people who believe in gods do not believe in the same gods. Atheism is also a kind of belief and belief. And it is this kind of blasphemer who brings disasters to the world and is the most disgusting to the gods. They are also people who blaspheme all beliefs. They often stand in the temple. Such a Fox just appeared on the Heaton Peninsula.

Fox is a consul elected by the Yalun city-state citizens' assembly, and the policy he advocates has won the support of most city-state citizens. Fox took advantage of the desire of the industrialists and merchants in Yalun City to expand and plunder more interests, and strongly called for the formation of an expeditionary force to occupy the surrounding islands, conquer those states with rich economies and relatively weak military power, and be able to plunder a steady stream of wealth.

Inspired by Fox, the people of the city-state of Yalun decided to build a powerful navy for an expedition, but suffered setbacks. At this time, it was hard to get off the tiger, so Yalun used the last alliance city-state's membership money to rebuild a fleet, and finally turned defeat into victory in the expedition. But before the expeditionary fleet returned, the army of the Kibata Alliance suppressed the territory, cutting off the commercial connection between the Yalun Alliance and the outside world.

The tactics used by the Kibata people were quite ingenious, and the information they had was also very accurate. They just attacked the weak link of the Yalun Alliance's defense and achieved the greatest results at the smallest cost. Why is there such a situation? Because the military plan of the Kibata Alliance was formulated by Fox, Fox betrayed the Yalun Alliance.

Fox didn't want to betray Yalun from the beginning, but changed his "upper position" strategy according to the changing situation. He initially wanted to use the hegemony of the Yalun League to realize his personal ambitions, but after the failure of the first naval expedition, he saw that the balance of power on the peninsula had reversed, so he colluded with the Kibatas again.

Kibata defeated Yalun, and Fox achieved great success. He created the hegemony on the Heaton Peninsula by means of ups and downs, and he himself gained the greatest power and enjoyed the satisfaction of success. He often said to himself: "A man should be like this." - I don't know which sage's famous quote is quoted.

But the situation quickly changed again. After Kibada dominated Heaton, he saw that Yalun had surrendered, and he didn't want politicians like Fox to dictate, so he kicked him aside and established Kibada's human oligarchy.

Fox, who had lost his power, returned to Yalun, and made a new promise to people with his smooth tongue-he has a way to defeat the mighty Sparta. It was believed that he was indeed capable, and the Jalens picked Fox again out of a desire for a comeback.

Fox united the city-states that had been plundered by the Kibatas to form a navy. In order to completely gain the upper hand, he used his previous influence to negotiate peace with the Kibata nobles, while colluding with the Potts Empire to form an alliance. Fox made a promise to the Botts that if Kibada was defeated, Yalun led by him would become the overlord again, and he would recognize the various privileges of the Botts Empire on the Heaton Peninsula.
