Amon once promised to "cooperate" with Zeus to complete a pioneering feat: to support a powerful city-state, punish Yaron and Kibata, unify the Heaton Peninsula in a true sense, and then cross the strait westward to conquer the entire Persian Empire. Only gods like them dare to imagine such grand plans and great achievements.
This city-state will be chosen by Amon, as long as the main god believed by the city-state is Zeus, and Zeus and Amon will cooperate to promote this matter as "god" and "man" respectively. And Amon chose the Kingdom of Macedonia. This small state will not only punish Yaron and Kibata, unify the Heaton Peninsula, but also attack the Potts Empire in the future.
It's not that whoever Amon chooses will have this achievement, but that the Macedonian Kingdom has the best potential, so Amon will choose it. After Amon made an agreement with Zeus, he has been acting as a mortal, waiting for the opportunity to rescue the mission led by Aristotle, and brought Medanzuo to the Kingdom of Macedonia with the mission, and Zeus descended in due course. oracle.
When Amon came to Macedonia, he lived in seclusion without being noticeable, and seemed to have done nothing, but everything that happened was proceeding according to the plan of the two gods. A god like Amon is so mysterious in doing things, everything seems to be intentional or unintentional, and he seems to have done everything, pushing it at the most suitable time in a way that people can't perceive.
Only by looking back and thinking carefully can we suddenly understand.
Macedonia, which has a stable internal affairs and no strong enemies outside, has formed a brand new army. Philip II took this legion as the main force, and the first goal of his expedition turned out to be Delphi, the holy land of the United Kingdom of Heaton. Of course the gods of Olympus knew that Amon was in Macedonia. When Philip II set out to fight, even if the mortals didn't know what Amon had done, the gods all reacted.
Zeus's move first touched the interests of some gods in Olympus, which would break the pattern formed in the world since the War of the Gods, and attracted a group of gods headed by Apollo to oppose, so the gods envoys in Delphi There will be such a fierce battle. The envoys of the gods fought fiercely in the world, and the gods of Olympus also quarreled fiercely in the kingdom of heaven. The gods were divided into three factions.
One group is naturally headed by Zeus, the father of the gods, and supports the decision made by Zeus. The other faction is headed by Apollo, including seven of the twelve main gods of the Olympus pantheon. They were all the winners who followed Zeus in the battle of the gods, and accused Zeus of "colluding" with Amon to intervene in the human city-state The dispute violated the interests of the gods and violated the agreement of the year.
There is another faction headed by Themis, the goddess of fairness and justice, who represent most of the ancient gods before the war of the gods. They are relatively neutral and mediators in this conflict. Especially Themis has always played the role of the arbiter of the gods' differences in the kingdom of God. Zeus first proposed that the gods in the world should cease fighting first, and wait for the gods to reach a new agreement. This proposal was supported by Themis, and Apollo and others also agreed.
Apollo asked Zeus to disclose the agreement between him and Amon, and to explain the purpose of instigating this dispute. What role did Amon play in it, and what purpose? This request was also supported by Themis.
Zeus then frankly said everything. He told the gods of his plans, that doing so would bring greater benefits to the Olympian pantheon in the future, and he also preached what Marduk had done. For the purpose of merging the gods, Marduk came to the world in the form of Darius and invaded the Olympus gods. Only by unifying the Olympus gods can Marduk avenge his invasion.
Zeus not only retaliated for the sake of revenge, it was also a kind of proof for him; and for the entire Olympus pantheon, this was the first invasion of other pantheons, if there was no counterattack, how could To prevent similar incidents from happening in the future? Moreover, this is also good for the gods of Olympus, and can illuminate the brilliance of the gods throughout the entire Tianshu continent.
Zeus promised that with the expansion of the divine domain in the future, the gods will be able to guide believers and divine envoys in a larger area of the world, and obtain more domains of the source of divine power. The losses in internal strife will be more made up for in external expansion. The gods were persuaded by him and reached a compromise and a new agreement, so the gods in the world left the battlefield.
The gods of Olympus have reached an agreement of "unanimously external", Zeus' goal has been achieved, and the rest depends on what the Macedonian kingdom does, and the gods will provide cooperation and help. Then there is a "person" that is very dazzling and redundant, that is, Amon who still lives in the Kingdom of Macedonia.
Amon did not come here for the gods of Olympus. He agreed to cooperate with Zeus to explore his own path of verification. He is another lord of the kingdom of heaven. If the Olympus pantheon wants to seek benefits in the expansion, the existence of Amon will seem out of place, and conflicts will break out sooner or later.
Now that Amon is in Macedonia, it will have an inevitable impact on the Macedonian kings. For example, Alexander has promised Medanzo—"If I can reach Eju one day, I will personally sacrifice to the Temple of Amon and rebuild the Temple of Isis. !" Let Amon stay like this, the future results and benefits of the Olympus gods may be stolen by Amon inexplicably.
Even if Zeus can tolerate it, the gods of Olympus cannot agree. On the other hand, the gods reached a compromise internally, and the contradictions of the dispute were transferred to the outside world, and Amon became the hated target of Apollo and others. After all, they suffered heavy losses in this dispute. If Zeus is not held accountable, shouldn't Amon be held accountable
So Apollo proposed to expel Amon from the Olympus domain. Zeus objected, because he had an agreement with Amon, and Amon did not violate the agreement. The gods began to quarrel again, and Themis, who represented the neutral party, made a ruling: Amon cannot be expelled in the name of the Olympian pantheon, and the gods will handle their personal grievances and bear the consequences by themselves.
Zeus, the father of the gods, also recognized this ruling. When the gods reached a final agreement, Artemis rushed to remind Amon immediately. She had the most special relationship with Amon among the gods of Olympus, and she was in the most embarrassing situation, so she came to ask for an interview as a girl, and explained the situation with a straight face as soon as she entered the door.
Amon knew the whole story clearly, and said gratefully: "Thank you for coming to see me and telling me all this under such circumstances, so you are not afraid of the suspicion of the gods?"
Artemis said angrily: "What am I afraid of? You have not violated the agreement, and you cannot be expelled in the name of the Olympus pantheon. The gods can only resolve it according to personal grievances. With your personal relationship, we Of course I want to remind you that even if someone is dissatisfied with you, they can't attack me."
Amon asked again with a smile: "I'm a little curious. The gods in the world fought so fiercely that many people died. And the gods in the sky have been arguing and negotiating, and they didn't do it themselves?"
Artemis replied: "What's so curious about this? When Zeus established the kingdom of heaven, he made the gods make an oath that they would not attack another god because of internal affairs. When the gods of the gods are involved, they cannot attack the gods of the gods. When the gods of the outer gods challenge the gods of the gods of the gods, they cannot help the gods of the outer gods."
Amon snorted and said: "This is very similar to the covenant between the city-states of Heaton, and the Olympus pantheon is also like an alliance. Zeus is very smart to do this, to prevent the gods within the pantheon from challenging his position , to prevent the history of him defeating the previous God of Creation and merging the Kingdom of God from repeating itself."
Artemis nodded and said: "The United Kingdom of Heaton is the domain of the Olympian gods. The city-states believe in the gods of Olympus. The things in the world must reflect the scene of the heavens. This is the origin of a civilization... As for Zeus made the oath made by the gods, and also learned lessons from the battle of the gods and the history of other gods."
Amon said again: "But the gods still have battles."
Artemis explained: "Yes, the gods do not fight directly in the kingdom of heaven, but fight with the envoys of the gods through the city-states on earth."
Amon thought thoughtfully: "A proxy war? I'm from the ancient town of Duke in the east. It is said that the Tianshu Continent is the center of the world, and Olympus is a new god system in the West. So what do you say? Yes, is it the tradition of the West?… The decision made by the Olympus gods this time, to transfer the contradictions to the outside world, and to expand outward to resolve internal differences, seems to be a source of habit.”
Artemis asked back: "Have you ever seen a city-state republic like Yalun? It is very similar to the current situation of the Olympus god system. There is a saying you should have heard-'Yaron is the Yalun of the Yalun people." Ren, is the empire of the Hidonians'. People are not gods, they will act according to the guidance of the gods they understand, with their own desires. This kind of inheritance will be manifested in various forms even after thousands of years... Ah Meng, I'm not here to discuss this with you, but to remind you that it's best to leave here first, and someone will come to make trouble soon."
Amon shook his head and said, "I didn't violate the agreement, why did I leave here? Isn't it great that you can see me here? We meet in the world as mortals."
Artemis finally showed tenderness on his face, held Amon's hand and said: "I heard that you have promised Zeus that the gods of Olympus can enter your divine domain, and I can go there at any time See you, don’t you?… But now the gods want to deal with you, even if they are not as powerful as you, they will use various methods and methods. Since you can’t act as a god, you will definitely suffer, why stay here Woolen cloth?"
Amon still smiled and said: "Since I agreed to cooperate with Zeus, I will naturally encounter such a thing. The trials I have experienced are also part of the proof. How can there be no trouble? If there are no problems, I will still seek proof What? The way the gods of Olympus used to deal with me is a test for me here. You can say that I am to blame, but I will not leave voluntarily. This is the price that must be paid on the way of exploration.”
Artemis held Amon's hand tightly, and said worriedly: "I didn't come to persuade you to leave because the gods wanted to force you to leave. You haven't fully understood what I mean. I have a feeling , Zeus is using you, and he is also calculating you. I know this father of the gods better than you, and you are seeking proof, and he is also seeking proof."
Having said that, Artemis did not continue to speak, but printed a message into Amon's soul, telling her guess and judgment—
Both Amon and Zeus have achieved achievements beyond the creation gods and created their own heavenly kingdoms. This kind of realm has no name. Artemis called it "the god of gods" according to the ancient prophecy of the Duke Plain. But both Zeus and Amon are facing a potentially serious problem. What should they do if other gods in the god system achieve the same achievement in the future
In the ancient god system, if there is a god who has also achieved the achievement of the god of creation, he can leave this god system, no longer bound by the oath, and can open up another god kingdom and create another god system, such as Seth once That's what the wish is.
The situation of Zeus is different. He surpassed the God of Creation and achieved the achievement of "God of the Gods". The situation repeated itself. However, if another god in the god system has also achieved the achievement of "God of Gods", how can the two "Gods of Gods" coexist
It is impossible for Zeus to prevent another god from creating his own kingdom of heaven. If he creates another kingdom of God in the eternity of immortality, it will lead to the division of the pantheon and violate the oath of the gods. If it is extended and created in the original kingdom of heaven, it is possible that this kingdom of heaven will no longer completely belong to Zeus, it may also lead to the collapse of the kingdom of heaven, and it may even lead to the fusion of the kingdom of Zeus.
The consequences of all this are unknown. Although the possibility of happening is very small at present, it is not impossible to appear in the long future. So Zeus must claim a higher achievement, which is—his heaven can somehow integrate or contain the same heaven world.
But the gods' verification of the unknown realm is not out of thin air, otherwise Amon would not have to come to the world to explore. Wanting to merge into the same heavenly world is like wondering if you can eat an apple? Then there needs to be apples in the world for him to try. Now Zeus can find only two "apples" - Amon and Marduk.
The "World of Freedom" created by Marduk is quite different from the "Olympus Heaven" created by Zeus. Obviously, it is another way of proof, and it is impossible to be compatible. And Amon's "Kingdom of Angels" is very similar to Zeus' Kingdom of Heaven. Zeus and Amon cooperated to "deal with" Marduk, so why didn't they also play Amon's idea
Zeus created the kingdom of heaven earlier, and his mana was higher than that of Amon. He took the opportunity of expanding God's Domain to transfer the contradictions of the gods to the outside world, not only against Marduk, but the gods have already begun to target Amon. If the Olympus domain continues to expand as planned, sooner or later it will try to merge with Amon's domain, and then what will be the fate of Amon's kingdom of heaven
