The sun god Helios drove the sun out early in the morning. According to the will of God King Zeus, today is a big day and the sun must be shining brightly.
Except for Helios who has the task of surveying the sky, all the gods belonging to or related to Olympus have come to the temple of the gods early, including the earth mother Gaia, the grandmother of the god king Zeus. The original Mother Goddess also came.
Of course, there were also gods who had nothing to do with Olympus but came to watch the ceremony. This time, God King Zeus sent his envoy, the rainbow goddess Iris, to spread throughout the world. God King Zeus will officially divide the Olympus gods today, and invite the gods of heaven and earth to come and watch the ceremony.
Zeus sat high on the throne and felt very happy when he saw dozens of gods belonging to Olympus below and hundreds of gods who came to watch.
His majestic gaze swept over the gods, and then beside him, Themis, the goddess of justice and order, struck her torture rod and solemnly shouted: "Quiet."
The noisy and chaotic temple of the gods immediately became quiet. This charming but powerful goddess had a strong binding force on the gods.
God King Zeus coughed and said slowly: "Typhon, the ancestor of all demons, is cruel and absurd, causing great killing and destruction on the earth and ocean. The gods are afraid of his power and avoid him. Fighting. However, we, the gods of Olympus, fought with Typhon most resolutely with our incomparable courage and wisdom, without fear of sacrifice, and finally won the victory."
His words can be said to have been brewing for a long time, showing the spirit and will of Olympus. However, in the hearts of the gods, they can only continue to laugh. The target of Typhon's spear is Olympus. If you don't fight, you will let others fight.
Ignoring the thoughts of the gods below, Zeus continued: "In this battle, the gods of Olympus, especially my brothers, sisters and children, have made great contributions and should be rewarded by the Divine Court. In addition, I have been on the throne of the God King for nearly a hundred years, and I have never summoned the gods. Therefore, I summoned the gods and announced the division of my priesthood in Olympus, so as to protect all living beings in the world."
"Hades, Persephone."
Hades and Persephone stood up together and saluted Zeus. This was what they had agreed upon long ago.
Zeus looked at his brother and daughter in front of him and said slowly: "Hades, you are my eldest brother, and I once promised you to be the king of the underworld. Now the gods have witnessed that as long as I, Olympus, am still here, , then you and Persephone will be the King and Queen of the Underworld for one day, and you will have the support of all the gods in Olympus."
Hades put his right hand on his left shoulder and bent down to salute Zeus: "Hades will exercise the will of Olympus in the underworld."
Zeus nodded, motioned for the two of them to retreat, and called out Poseidon next to him.
"Poseidon, you are my second brother, and I have promised you to share the kingship with me. Today the gods testify that in the Koos pantheon, you will become the only king of the sea. Olympus can only pass through Only you can command the creatures of the sea. Your son Triton will inherit and share your glory."
Poseidon held out his trident and raised it high in the air: "Poseidon is willing to spread the glory of Olympus on the ocean for the gods."
After he retreated, Zeus pointed to Hera next to him and said to the gods: "The goddess next to me, she is my beloved wife. She is the god of marriage, women and fertility. She shares with me the thunder that shocks the gods. Power."
When all the gods heard this, they shouted together: "I have seen your Majesty the Queen of Gods."
The noble and beautiful goddess Hera was filled with joy, and she even shed tears of excitement on her face. When Zeus pursued her, he promised to give her half of the throne of the God King. The promise at that time has now become a reality.
"Hestia, you are my eldest sister. You have been fighting to protect Olympus since the Battle of the Titans. You were originally the goddess in charge of fire. Now I hand over the fire of the world to you. You come to protect me and become the protector of the family."
Hestia, who had silver hair and a tall figure, still had the same indifferent expression as before. She just nodded slightly and said, "Hestia would like to be the protector of the hearth and the family."
"Demeter, you gave birth to Persephone, Queen of the Underworld, as my second sister. You are the goddess in charge of the harvest. Now I will hand over agriculture to you. You will represent the gods and help human production. "
Demeter's plump face moved slightly, and then under Hestia's cold eyes, she stood up, answered "yes", and then stepped back.
Seeing Demeter's expression and movements, Zeus was helpless. He turned his head and looked at Aphrodite, the most beautiful goddess who astonished the gods.
"Aphrodite, you came to Olympus when it was most difficult and defeated powerful enemies together with Olympus. Olympus will always remember your contribution. You are the representative of beauty in the world. The most beautiful thing is undoubtedly love. From today on, you will become the god of love and beauty recognized by the gods."
Aphrodite stood up and saluted Zeus.
When Zeus saw this extremely beautiful goddess, he couldn't help but feel shaken. He forced his mind to calm down. His eyes wandered around, but when he saw the calm and composed young man among the gods, he couldn't help but feel a trace of regret in his heart.
However, regret was of no use. Zeus turned his attention to his beloved daughter Athena, who perfectly inherited the advantages of both him and Metis.
"Athena, my beloved daughter, you were born from my own head and inherited your mother's wisdom. From today on, you will become the new goddess of wisdom. As compensation for you, I allow you to share their priesthood from the gods. .”
Athena's face was full of smiles, radiating a charming light that dazzled the gods. She slowly looked around the gods, as if thinking about which gods to share their priesthoods with.
"Artemis, as my favorite daughter. You and your brother have gone through hardships since childhood. Olympus has not given you shelter, but you still choose to stand with Olympus. In order to show my respect for you With apology and gratitude, you will become the goddess of hunting, granting you the same power as Athena and obtaining the priesthood you want."
Artemis, who had a temperament like the stars and the moon, still had a cold look on her face after hearing the words of the God King, and nodded in thanks.
"Apollo, you are my eldest son, and you have experienced the same hardships as your sister. When you were born, the goddess of fate declared that you would represent the light of Olympus. From today on, you are the god of light. When you come to the human world, I promise you that you will have the power to obtain any priesthood related to humans."
By this time, the gods had completely seen that Zeus loved the three gods Athena, Artemis and Apollo. In order to facilitate them to become more powerful gods, they were allowed to enjoy the priesthood. Especially after he told the arrangements for the next few children, the gods felt that these three young gods were extraordinary.
"Hephaestus, my once-abandoned son, your talent and hard work have brought back all the honors for you. You are obsessed with forging, and I will do as you wish. You will become the god of fire and forging. What you want The forged divine objects will be blessed by heaven and earth.”
"Ares, my young and handsome son, you are the only child among you who has grown up before my eyes. I will give you the same privilege and let you become the God of War in Olympus and fight for me. You can obtain any priesthood that is within reach of the war."
It's not that Zeus doesn't want to treat everyone equally, it's just that each child has different talents, and there's nothing he can do about it.
"Twelve is the most perfect number among the heavens and the earth. Therefore, there are only twelve Titans, and the other sons of Uranus do not have this honor. Although we have many gods in Olympus, we should still consider twelve gods as the most perfect ones. Lord, Hades, Poseidon, Hera, Hestia, Demeter, Aphrodite, Athena, Artemis, Apollo, Hephaestus, Ares, Some of you may not be the main gods yet, but the round table in the center of the hall of the gods is prepared for you and me. Any disputes between the gods and the spirits between heaven and earth will be adjudicated by us."
After Zeus said this, he pointed to Themis, the goddess of justice next to him.
"And she, Themis, the Lord of Justice and Order, will sit behind my throne as the God-King and make the fairest decisions for me."
When Zeus first said it, some people might not be satisfied, but at this time, none of the gods objected. The name of Themis, the goddess of justice, has been known to all the gods for a long time, and they all have great trust in this powerful Titan. Now that they heard that she would make the decision on behalf of the God King, they all agreed.
In addition, Zeus granted enfeoffments to other gods who had made contributions. The goddess of victory, Nike, became the god of Athena; the god of strength, Kratos, became the god of Hephaestus; the goddess of violence, Bea, became the god of Athena. Then he became the god of Ares; Zeros, the god of passion, is still next to Zeus for the time being. In the future, he was assigned to Hermes as a god by Zeus.
You must know that becoming a suitable god is also a very important way for gods to grow. Zeus personally calculated their divine power for them and helped them choose the main god, which shows that he attaches great importance to and loves them.
As for the children of the Titans, the Sun God and the Moon God, Zeus originally wanted them to become the gods of Apollo and Artemis, but they rejected them and did not want to become the gods of their descendants. Zeus could only give them a sun chariot pulled by four fire horses and a moon chariot pulled by two sacred bulls to facilitate their completion of their priestly duties.
There are also the three goddesses of grace, who were born by Zeus and Eurynome, and they became the gods of Aphrodite; the nine muses, who were born of Mnemosyne, became the gods of Apollo. The last three goddesses of time became the gods of Zeus and Queen Hera, and were charged with maintaining the nature of the world and the cyclical laws of life.
"Adross, son of Leto, will be Lord of the North Star, God of directions and roads, witnessed by all the gods."
Although there were some discrepancies in the previous enfeoffments, all the gods could understand them. However, the enfeoffment of the last god named Adros left the gods confused.
Who is Adros? Son of Leto, did Leto have this son
