"First of all, I would like to thank His Majesty the God-King for his great love on behalf of my foolish son and daughter, so that they can atone for their sins for the righteous God of Olympus and exchange their lives for the Lord of Jupiter's forgiveness."
Styx stood up with a cold face, and the first words she spoke made people feel her resentment. Her two children were ordered to commit suicide by Zeus. Although they were rescued by Adros, they lost a little passion and fighting spirit, as if they had received a huge blow.
Having said this, she glanced at her other pair of children, Niki, the goddess of victory, and Cheros, the god of passion. They both stood firmly behind their respective gods, turning a blind eye to their mother, Styx.
Nike, the goddess of victory, has been the god of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, since the day she was conferred as a god in Olympus. Her main god, Athena, also specifically started to control the priesthood of victory in order to cultivate her.
Cheros, the god of passion, initially followed Hermes, the envoy of Olympus, but was later given to Dionysus, the god of wine, by Hermes. But as far as he is concerned, it is indeed a better choice to follow the Dionysus who has the priesthood of carnival.
Zeus had a look of embarrassment in his eyes after hearing Styx's words, and his ugly son Hephaestus, the god of fire, lowered his head in shame.
"His Majesty the God-Emperor asked us to come to Olympus because we wanted to play a game with the gods." Styx came here this time not for the sake of her children. Her son and daughter are stupid, but she can How? This time she came with a mission from Adros.
"Oh, I wonder what kind of game it is?" Zeus said lightly. He had no good impression of this so-called Lord of the Stars at all, and even wanted to kill him. The poor ewe, the disappointed Trojan beauty, these things were all destroyed by the Lord of the Stars, and Zeus hated them all.
"My Lord heard that His Majesty Zeus has been thinking about obtaining the priesthood of the celestial constellation these days. He decided to show his kindness and give His Majesty this opportunity."
"What do you mean, is the Lord of the Stars finally willing to give up the celestial constellations?" All the gods of Olympus, including God King Zeus, looked confused, even some of the gods who knew Adros' true identity were no exception. .
Styx chuckled. His Majesty the God King, should we say that he is pretending to be stupid, or has his naivety become a habit? No one would give up such a good piece of meat.
"The Centaur Chiron has taken refuge in our Court of Stars and begged our God-Emperor to take in his disciples. Our Majesty was unwilling to go to war with the God-King, but he couldn't resist the Centaur's invitation, so he thought of ways to play games with the God-King. , on the one hand, dealing with the priesthood of the Zhoutian constellation, on the other hand, it also left the lives of several Chiron disciples."
"How to play?" Zeus suddenly became interested. It turned out that the Lord of the Stars had this idea. If Chiron's disciples could give him enough benefits, it would not be impossible to let those humans go.
"Our God-Emperor predicted that in a few years, an unprecedented war will break out in the human world. The two warring parties are Troy and Athens. The gods of Olympus can stand on both sides and find a way to defeat all the demigod heroes in the world. Children of gods and humans, as well as some powerful monsters, are all involved in the war.”
"Whether it is Olympus or our Star Court, one of these fighting demigods and monsters will be chosen to be the master of a constellation. It has nothing to do with the outcome of the entire battlefield, only the heroes under the same god. The result of the battle. Regardless of whether the two selected people are defeated or die in battle, the winner can become the master of the constellation. If both of them die in battle, then choose the suitable one among the gods."
After Styx finished speaking, he looked at Zeus quietly, waiting for his decision.
Zeus glanced around at the gods of Olympus and saw that they all looked expectant, and he understood what the gods meant.
Among them, no matter who they are, there are some demigods or gods who are worried about not having a suitable place to place them. Now the Lord of the Stars' proposal is playing into their minds.
Zeus thought for a while and felt that he had not lost anything, that is, he had let a few small humans go, which was no big deal. Anyway, their preacher, the blasphemous Iathion, had already been killed.
Seeing that Zeus agreed, Styx took out a roll of blue star cloth. On the star cloth, the stars of the sky appeared, and the eighty-eight constellations shone brightly. And the Sagittarius constellation where the centaur Chiron is located shines even more dazzlingly.
"Our Majesty the God Emperor has listed the eighty-seven constellations he has decided on the star map he drew. Now he will give the star map to Olympus and mark the appropriate names on it. When the names are written After that, it will disappear automatically and no one can see it except the spirit who wrote it.”
Zeus took the star map, swept it with his divine eyes, and sprinkled the power of the stars all over the map. He did not find anything strange, and said lightly: "If our two books are written by the same person, or if they are both written by the same person, What about dead?"
"It's the same person, that's because he's lucky; if they all die, then so be it. His Majesty the God-Emperor has no intention of letting a disembodied demigod soul control the constellations."
Unlike Zeus who originally entrusted many souls to become the masters of the constellations, Adros had no such plan. The eighty-eight constellations in the future will involve the Zhoutian Star Formation, a big killer. When he has not grown to a sufficient height, this will be his trump card, but not everyone can enter.
As for some of the constellation masters promoted by Zeus or other Olympian gods, the replacement will only be a matter of his words. Taking out the sweetness at this time is nothing more than to preserve the only batch of blood currently available.
······
When Hecate and her party left the star map behind and left Olympus, Zeus and the gods of Olympus began to discuss a suitable candidate for the master of the constellations.
Of course, before this, Tantalus, who cooked his son and offered it to the gods for food, was killed by the gods on the spot, and his soul was thrown into the underworld to be tortured.
His sins were so heinous that he was sent to hell by the gods, where he suffered misery and torture.
In the underworld, Tantalus stood in the middle of a deep pool of water, with waves rolling under his chin, but he endured a burning thirst and could not drink a drop of cold water. As long as he bent down and tried to drink from the water, the water immediately flowed away from him, leaving him standing alone on a flat ground, as if a demon had drained the water away from the pool.
At the same time, behind him was the shore of the lake. There was a row of fruit trees growing on the shore, laden with fruits. The branches were bent under the weight of the fruits and hung in front of his forehead. As long as he looked up, he could see the juicy pears, bright red apples, fiery red pomegranates, fragrant figs and green olives on the trees. These fruits seemed to greet him with a smile,
However, when he stood on tiptoe to pick it, a strong wind blew in the air and blew the branches into the air. In addition to enduring these tortures, the most terrible pain was the continuous fear of death, because a large stone hung above his head and would fall at any time and crush him to pieces.
As the saying goes, there is nothing better than suffering in life.
