After all the gods were seated, Zeus knocked on his scepter to silence everyone.
After everyone calmed down, Zeus pointed to the middle-aged god next to Athena: "This is the prophet Prometheus, son of the Titan god Iapetus. He invited my eldest sister, the kitchen god Hess Tia brought him up to discuss something with the gods."
So he is Prometheus, Adros thought. This is one of the most famous non-Olympian gods in the Chaos pantheon. He is probably even compared to the Earth Mother Gaia.
Prometheus stood up and said to the gods: "A hundred years ago, His Majesty the King of Gods created bronze humans to thrive in the world and serve the gods. However, because of the Typhon Rebellion, the bronze humans were massacred by monsters. Now, Only a few hundred people are still alive in the world. The temples of the gods are neglected and the fields on earth are abandoned. I am deeply worried, so I want to re-create humans, hoping to get the support and help of the Olympian gods."
Create humans? Unexpectedly, Prometheus came to Olympus to ask for this matter. Adros wanted to get in and see if he could gain merit, but unfortunately his ability was limited and he had no choice.
The gods began to discuss and finally reached a common agreement and agreed to recreate the human race.
"Very good, the gods have reached an agreement, but creating humans is not a simple matter. It requires a god with outstanding ability and proficiency in creation. I don't know who is suitable?"
The gods hesitated for a moment, realizing that they had no ability to create humans. Finally, Athena stood up and said, "I'll go."
Seeing that it was Athena, Zeus smiled and said, "Athena is the goddess in charge of wisdom. You will help Prometheus in this matter. I am very relieved."
Athena and Prometheus left together, talking and laughing, but did not notice the gloomy face of Hephaestus behind them. Adros and Hecate saw it, but said nothing and silently followed Athena and the others.
It was a rare gathering of the gods, so Zeus summoned the Muses again and started a song and dance banquet that had not been held for a long time. The gods were very interested in this, and they all drank, chatted, and watched singing and dancing in the temple of the gods.
"Persephone, I'm going to watch Athena create man with Hecate, will you go?"
When he was about to leave, Adros saw the beautiful Persephone, standing at the door of the palace, seemingly waiting for him.
Persephone pulled Adros aside, and without saying a word, her lips pressed against Adros's. Adros suddenly felt a sweet fragrance, like the dry land being moistened by rain.
Hecate was immediately stunned when she saw this scene. These two people were both married. One was carrying her husband on her back, and the other was carrying his wife on his back. They embraced and kissed each other outside the hall of the gods. She immediately looked back at the main hall, only to find that Aphrodite was enjoying the dance of the nine muses. She had no intention of coming out for the moment, and she was relieved.
"You can't tell if other gods are coveting Aphrodite, so what are you doing, coveting Pluto's wife?" Suddenly, Hecate became dissatisfied with her main god, "Really, why do you want to help?" He looked at Aphrodite and caught them."
The two kissed passionately for a long time before Persephone released her hold on Adros and looked at Adros charmingly and passionately: "Remember to come to the underworld to find me, Adros, I have prepared something for you. It’s a great gift. If you don’t come, be careful that I take advantage of others.”
After hearing her naked temptation, Adros was excited and angry at the same time. He slapped her buttocks and said, "How dare you."
"I'll give you one year. If you don't come, do you think I dare?" Persephone looked charming and kissed Adros on the lips, then flew up into the clouds and headed for the underworld.
Adros thought about Persephone's kiss for a moment, and it was still so touching. Suddenly, he noticed his godly expression, a look of disgust, and immediately became serious.
"Let's go to Athena and the others."
······
The Illuminati, Prometheus and Athena, came to a place in the center of the earth under the blue sky. Here, the ground is covered with flowers and wild grasses, scattered with various animals. Birds build nests in the trees and sing in the air, as if it is a divine kingdom on earth.
Prometheus said to Athena: "This was the place where most humans were killed during the Typhon Rebellion. The seeds of human life are buried in this soil, always waiting to be reborn."
Athena nodded without saying a word, waiting for his movements.
With a smile on his face and thoughtful steps, Prometheus came to a river, grabbed a large ball of soil from the river bank, poured some water on it with his hands, and poured it on. He kneaded the mud into suitably soft and hard mud, and then used the mud to shape a person in the image of God.
He liked this little clay figurine very much, so he happily made many similar clay figurines. After squeezing, he looked at these lifeless forms and fell into deep thought for a long time.
"You can't become human by just trying this way, they still need to be alive." Athena said on the side.
Prometheus looked to the side and saw that animals were constantly running, and they were full of life. He absorbed good or evil qualities from various animals, such as the bravery of the lion, the loyalty and intelligence of the dog, the diligence of the horse, the foresight of the eagle, the strength of the bear, the docility of the dove, the cunning of the fox, the timidity of the rabbit, and The greed of the wolf then kneads these characteristics together and injects his part into everyone's chest.
In this way, the humans created by Prometheus could move like animals. However, they were just running mechanically and moving numbly, lacking the spirituality that humans had in the past.
Athena watched in amazement everything Prometheus did in this beautiful place, and found that his friend's creativity seemed to be higher than that of the Olympian gods. When she found that Prometheus was helpless looking at his creations, not knowing how to give spirituality, she used her divine power to blow the vital breath of the gods into their mouths.
Suddenly, these humans seemed to feel that the world had changed, becoming magical and strange. They began to learn to think, began to do meaningful work, and separated from animals.
Then, Prometheus was blessed in his soul. He took out his cane, inserted it into the river water, and kept stirring it. The muddy water in the river splashed here, and when it fell on the ground, it turned into a human figure. He got more and more confused, and finally stopped what he was doing and leaned aside to rest.
Athena was not idle either, spending her divine power to infuse spirituality into these newly born humans. In less than half a day, hundreds of thousands of people had already appeared on this land.
"Is this the legendary creation of humans? Where is the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil? Where is the Three Light Divine Water?" Adros kept joking in his mind about this method of creating humans without any technical content.
It was also at this moment that the heaven and earth trembled, and all the gods and spirits could feel it. From high in the sky, a seven-color rainbow light fell from the sky, split into two parts and fell into the heads of Athena and Prometheus.
Adros and Hecate were originally high in the sky, looking at this boring creature, when they suddenly discovered this surprising scene.
"The power of heaven," Hecate exclaimed.
"The power of God's favor? Shouldn't this be the power of merit?" Adros was full of questions and asked Hecate what the power of God's favor was.
"I'm not very sure. My mother once told me that the gods have made some big moves. If it helps the heaven and the earth, then the power of heaven will join them. In the past, the first generation of god kings established the divine court and dominated Opening up a country, this kind of thing happens with the power of heaven. My mother said that this rainbow light can be used to make weapons, improve the quality of weapons, and also slowly improve one's own strength."
Adros nodded, which was similar to the effect of merit.
The appearance of the power of heaven alarmed many gods in this world. God King Zeus also threw down his wine glass and came here with the gods of Olympus.
Looking at the new human race that appeared in front of him, Zeus had complicated eyes. He also created a group of humans after the Battle of the Titans, but he did not get half of the power of the gods. This time Athena and Prometheus created humans. There is such a harvest.
Seemingly sensing the specialness of this group of humans, Zeus said to Prometheus: "Son of Iapetus, humans have appeared now. According to our agreement, we need to immediately start worshiping my Olympian gods."
Prometheus hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty the King of Gods, human beings have just been born, and they are not yet satisfied with food and clothing. They still need several years of learning. Once they have enough food and clothing and can distinguish right from wrong, I will let them start worshiping the gods." What I mean is that it will take some time before worshiping the gods can begin.
Zeus was furious. He, Prometheus, had already received so many benefits from the newly born humans, and he even prevented humans from immediately sacrificing to Olympus. Zeus knew it. When humans can distinguish right from wrong and think for themselves, they will no longer have the deepest respect for gods. He immediately wanted to teach Prometheus a lesson, but gave up the idea when he saw that the humans behind him looked at Prometheus with admiration.
"Okay, okay, son of Iapetus, you dare not fulfill your agreement with Olympus. As a punishment for you, I will deprive the humans you created of the right to receive fire."
He used his divine power to extract something vague and vague like silk thread from every newborn human being, and then hid it in his sleeve.
After saying these actions, Zeus was extremely angry and flew back to Olympus, leaving some gods here staring at him with big eyes. They looked at the newly born beast-like humans and felt that it was not interesting, so they followed Zeus and returned to Olympus.
"Just take care of yourself."
Athena sighed and left. As the goddess of wisdom and a good friend of Prometheus, how could she not guess what he was thinking. He wanted the humans he created to be as free from the control of gods as possible, but how could this be possible? The power of the gods is far beyond what humans can match.
Prometheus looked at this human being as if looking at his newly born child, his heart filled with fighting spirit and passion.
