When the eagle died, Zeus, who was far away in Olympus, reacted. He was shocked and did not expect that someone would dare to rescue Prometheus.
He hurried to the Caucasus Mountains where Prometheus was imprisoned. When he came over, he found that other gods had also come over. The Twelve Gods of Olympus, including Athena, Apollo, Hermes, and Hephaestus, and other gods also came. Themis, the Lord of Justice, Helios, the Sun God, Hestia, the Vesta God, Demeter, the Harvest Goddess, and Hercules and his disgusting son Adros.
"Hercules, what do you want to do?"
Zeus could tell at a glance that the one who shot Typhon's son Greyfin to death with the eagle was the son he had worked so hard to cultivate.
"Father, I think Prometheus should be released. He is a god of hard work, not a god of sin."
Heracles, who had grown up in the human world since childhood and received the words and deeds of Chiron, had always worshiped Prometheus. Seeing how pitiful Prometheus was this time, although he did not dare to rescue him directly, it did not prevent him from making his request to Zeus.
Zeus was furious that his beloved son would embarrass him in front of the gods.
"Yes, Prometheus has merit and should be released."
Just as Zeus was about to scold Hercules, Athena also spoke up. She had always wanted to rescue her friend Prometheus, and now the opportunity finally came.
"Yes, Prometheus should be released." Apollo also said next to him. When Prometheus stole fire, he had a great show of acting skills.
On the other side, the two sisters Hestia and Demeter stood arm in arm. Although they did not speak, their intentions were obvious.
Zeus suddenly felt overwhelmed. Although he was the King of Gods, problems had arisen everywhere recently, and he did not want to have any more troubled relations with the gods.
First, at Thetis's wedding banquet, a human went against him, but there was nothing he could do about him for the time being; then he was tricked into having a relationship with a sheep, and was seen by the gods in person, and the Lord of Justice even killed him. The pity ewe was directly executed; then Hercules strangled Antaeus, the son of Poseidon and Gaia, to death in Libya. Although he said he was not afraid, he was really worried in his heart.
Although the Earth Mother Gaia was unlikely to do anything to him or Olympus, if Tartarus showed up again, he was not sure he could persuade the Earth Mother to take action against him. After all, among them, Poseidon, who had the best relationship with Mother Earth, was filled with resentment.
Zeus thought for a while and suddenly saw Themis, the Lord of Justice next to him. This goddess had a tacit relationship with him but had no contact with him anymore. He coughed and said, "Is Prometheus guilty? Let the goddess Themis decide. She is the Lord of justice and order, and I believe she will give the gods a satisfactory answer."
I heard that Themis was asked to make the decision, and the gods fell silent. This goddess wanted to be convincing.
Themis looked cold, took out her blindfold, covered her eyes, and then made a decision. Adros looked at her ordinary blindfold and felt that it would be an extremely powerful artifact.
"Prometheus has merit in creating man and spreading fire. He does not deserve any punishment."
Themis spoke her decision concisely and concisely as always.
At this time, it was Zeus's turn to be embarrassed, but when he saw the Titan who had deceived him, his annoyance rushed to his heart. However, looking at the gods staring at him with burning eyes, he did not want to overturn the verdict he had just ordered Themis to make.
In the end, Zeus gave in. He needed Hercules to capture another blasphemer of the gods to replace Prometheus, so that he could be released.
The blasphemer chosen by Zeus was none other than Hercules' teacher, the first centaur hero to transform from an ordinary creature into a demigod, Chiron.
"Chiron's teacher Iathion once threatened the gods in front of them and was extremely disrespectful to them. And Chiron, who helped his teacher, spread the method of human beings becoming gods everywhere. Divine power is a gift from heaven and earth. They are blaspheming the gods and violating the will of heaven and earth. If you can't catch Iathion, then catch this Chiron."
Zeus finished saying that most of the gods didn't matter, Prometheus was familiar with them and they were willing to help him. As for the centaur Chiron, it has nothing to do with them.
Only Adros's face darkened, but he did not react for the time being. He wanted to see what the God King was going to do. He didn't believe that Zeus's plan to capture Chiron was just a thought. There must be other plans behind it.
"Anyway, his life won't be in danger. It's okay to let him suffer a little. Compared to the other Charon on the River Styx, his suffering is already light."
Heracles did not go to find Chiron, but Zeus directly ordered the sun god to capture Chiron here. Chiron, who was teaching his youngest disciple Achilles in a cave, was suddenly visited by the sun god Helios. Although he had superior strength and was better than many gods, he was no match for Helios, who had become the main god, and was quickly caught.
After hearing Zeus's request, Chiron looked calm and took the initiative to propose to his proud disciple, Heracles, son of Zeus, that he was willing to be punished here instead of Prometheus.
The painful Hercules chopped the chains on Prometheus into pieces, and then tied it to Chiron. When he finally drove down the diamond spike, the always strong and brave Hercules couldn't help but shed tears. .
"I still have a youngest disciple in the cave. If you are free, you can help me teach him."
Among all the disciples of Chiron, the youngest Achilles may be the only one whose fighting talent can match Heracles. Like Hercules, he also has high hopes for Achilles.
But looking at the current situation, he has no chance to teach Achilles anymore, so he can only let Hercules do it for him.
"Achilles?"
Adros touched his chin beside him, wondering if he should personally teach this demigod disciple who was destined to shine in the future. After all, he is still the son of his subordinate, Thetis, the Lord of Cancer Palace.
Prometheus was finally let go and suffered a lot in the Caucasus Mountains. He was exposed to wind, sun and rain for thirty years, and was pecked by the griffon condor day after day. He finally regained his freedom.
"Your Majesty the God King, since I am not guilty, who is the guilty person? You will not tell me that I have suffered for thirty years in vain, but no one has paid the price, right?"
As soon as Prometheus was put down, he asked Zeus, which made the gods wonder. Is this still the wise and cautious prophet? Wouldn't it be that he had been imprisoned for thirty years and that he was stupid after being imprisoned
