Zeus was a little confused by the situation in front of him, and he calmed down a little after meeting Poseidon's angry eyes.
Zeus smiled and said, "Then I will thank His Royal Highness Tartarus on behalf of Brother Hades... What about the Sea Realm?"
The thick fog cleared, revealing Tartarus' tall figure and indifferent face.
He raised his head, looked at Zeus with a little hesitation and confusion, and there was still some confusion in his eyes.
Then Tartarus glanced at Poseidon again, let the thick fog cover him again, and said sullenly: "The sea boundary does not belong to my territory, I will not take care of it."
His performance like this is simply a confirmation that he has a deal with Zeus. Zeus tore down Poseidon to hide it, because he didn't discuss it with Tartarus first, so Tartarus appeared and gave him a confused look.
Aphrodite suppressed a smile, sure in her heart that Tartarus was holding a grudge. He was afraid that others would not know that Zeus had a private communication with him, so he deliberately dispersed the thick fog used for camouflage, and performed "confused, puzzled".
As simple as that, the previous alliance between the three brothers of Zeus was divided by Tartaros. Zeus was wary of Hades, Poseidon hated Zeus...
Tsk, Aphrodite thought, whether the Tartarus are old and smart, or the gods are insidious.
Aphrodite reminded herself in her heart that she should not be arrogant because of the condensed strategy godhead, his strength was not enough for her to ignore everything.
Aphrodite quickly calmed down, and Zeus forced a smile after getting Tartarus' answer: "Well, brother Hades is going to the underworld, and then brother Poseidon has to go to the sea." It’s over. Let’s go together when the time comes, and I’ll take Metis back with me to thank the Ocean Gods for helping me when they overthrew Cronus’s rule.”
Aphrodite was speechless, and thought to herself, you still dare to mention it, if you know that you, a white-eyed wolf who turns your eyes and does not recognize people, is raised, you are not afraid to make the Ocean God and his wife angry.
The enfeoffment of the sea world and the underworld came to an end, and the next thing was to escort Kronos and his supporters to the abyss for custody.
Tartarus directly ordered Zeus to bring the defeated gods over. A dangerous and treacherous vortex emerged from the feet of Cronus and others, and gradually grew larger, like a swamp, devouring all the gods above without hesitation. Go down and close.
Tartarus summoned the abyss casually. This move was very suspicious of a demonstration. At least Aphrodite saw that after Tartarus summoned the abyss, the faces of the gods present changed, and they couldn't help but take a step back. I am afraid that I will be affected, and then also be sucked into the abyss.
Zeus moved his eyes glued to the disappearing vortex, and said the third thing stiffly.
"With the ascension of the new king of gods, I should also choose twelve new main gods. I have already made arrangements in my heart for the position of the main gods. It's just that I need to do another thing before announcing the main gods. "
Zeus looked at Aphrodite in the audience and whispered his name: "Aphrodite."
Aphrodite stepped out, bent slightly, and gave Zeus a courtesy that was not too respectful but could not be faulted: "Does His Majesty have any orders?"
Zeus opened his right hand, and the purple thunder scepter floated in his palm. Zeus tapped the ground with the thunder scepter, and there was a booming sound in the sky. Zeus stood up, and his majestic eyes fell on Aphrodite.
He said: "I am the king of the gods, and I should also be the master of this sky. Aphrodite, I heard that the rebel Cronus said that you sacrificed a part of him and obtained the god king Uranus. The sky godhead that disappears after death. Now, as the king of the gods, I order you to dedicate the sky godhead to me."
Aphrodite's complexion gradually cooled down, and her silver hair became more like ice and snow, bringing a chilly aura.
Aphrodite looked at him mockingly, and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to follow the example of His Majesty Kronos and kill God?"
Zeus frowned, and Aphrodite said casually: "The birth power of the gods comes from the godhead. If the godhead is stripped, then the gods should collapse and return to the law. I can understand the significance of the sky godhead to your majesty, but I hope His Majesty can think more rationally, don't continue the tyranny of King Cronus, and let the gods fear you."
Zeus looked at him with deep eyes, and Metis spoke at this time. She was a very elegant god on the outside, with wisdom shining in her eyes: "Your Highness Aphrodite, please don't confuse concepts. Because the sky godhead is not It's not your original godhead, even if you strip this godhead, you won't die because of it."
Aphrodite said lightly: "This is my luck, and it is because I will not die because of this, so I can't strip the sky godhead from me. If this is the first, then in the future, do we just need to guarantee the gods?" Will not die from being stripped of the godhead, say..."
Aphrodite raised the corners of her lips, stared straight at Metis and said, "If I want to exchange my confused godhead for the wise godhead of the queen, although the queen has lost her original godhead, she still has the confused godhead." So, this is not considered killing gods. Then, my sky godhead can be stripped off today, does it also mean that the powerful godheads of other gods can also be removed at the request of the king of gods? Strip?"
There was silence in the palace of the king of gods. Aphrodite looked around casually, walked to Rhea who had promised him before, took her hand, and kissed her lightly: "Your Highness Rhea, what do you think of my words? Does it make sense?"
Rhea took a deep look at him, looked directly at Zeus and said, "Zeus, my child, this kind of behavior is tantamount to killing God, you can't do this."
This is also Rhea's idea. Although this kind of thing probably won't happen to her, other gods will not trust Zeus like Rhea trusts her own children. People will gamble their lives on the kindness and promise of the God King.
Power, only if you keep it yourself is safe enough.
Rhea understands that Zeus's proposal threatens the interests of the gods. If Aphrodite is an idiot, it will be fine if she is afraid of the majesty of the god king and directly surrenders the sky godhead. But he is very shrewd...
Aphrodite just used Metis' godhead as an example, which made Rhea feel bad.
The sky godhead is not necessary for Zeus, but Metis, who may give birth to the next god king, must be eliminated!
Zeus snorted coldly: "This is just Aphrodite's sophistry. The godhead is not irreplaceable. If not, how did the god of sexual desire appear beside Aphrodite?"
Aphrodite replied indifferently: "What His Majesty the God King said makes sense, then the godhead can be given to others through the transfer of the godhead owner's permission."
"And I don't want to dedicate the sky godhead to you." Aphrodite raised her head, her indifferent eyes collided with Zeus's angry eyes.
Aphrodite asked blankly: "Now that I have expressed my attitude, does His Majesty the God King still insist on forcing me to strip the sky godhead?"
Aphrodite directly rejected Zeus, and even satirized him. Zeus' face was extremely ugly, he never thought that this new god would be so bold.
The anger of Zeus was transmitted, thunder roared in the sky, and lightning fell from time to time, splitting on the boulders outside, and the boulders turned into rubble, and rolled down from the Olympus mountain, directly hitting the earth for a while. Stone Rain.
This movement is not much smaller than when the two god kings fought before. It can be seen how angry Zeus is.
However, Aphrodite was not moved by this. As long as Zeus dared not kill the gods, he would dare to die with all his strength. No matter what you do, you won't die, will you
Zeus looked at him coldly, and scolded: "Aphrodite who dares to offend, you don't have the most basic respect for the king of gods, I will punish you..."
Zeus wanted to punish Aphrodite severely, for example. He was imprisoned on the top of a certain mountain, and let the eagle eat his heart and lungs every day.
But Aphrodite didn't do anything wrong. He even helped Zeus and them hurt Cronus before, and he had a lot of credit for it. If he was punished just because he didn't want to hand over the sky godhead, then other gods would also unhappy.
After all, that is the incarnation of love and beauty, Aphrodite who is full of the world's ultimate temptation!
Aphrodite lowered her eyebrows slightly, her lips pursed tightly in sadness.
Standing at the top, Zeus glanced around casually, and he saw all the expressions of fascination and distress from the gods, and his heart was choked to death.
After a while, Zeus announced his punishment for Aphrodite: "Aphrodite, the arrogant god, you disrespect the king of gods, I will use coolies to smooth your edges and corners. Therefore, I will punish you to wander in the deep sea to pick up Pearls, until you can collect a thousand of the most perfect pearls in one day, the punishment will not be over, and you will be able to return to Mount Olympus again."
"Aphrodite, if you can realize your mistake in time, I can end the punishment early."
Aphrodite bent slightly, with an indifferent expression, and a contemptuous tone: "No need, Your Majesty the God King. Aphrodite defends the gods' right to protect their own godhead, and will never succumb to any coercion."
Zeus' face immediately turned greener, and Metis frowned, looking at Aphrodite with disappointment in his eyes.
As for the other gods, those who have never communicated with Aphrodite are sighing for this beautiful and stubborn god.
Rhea and Tartarus, who knew Aphrodite better, scanned him with probing eyes, searching for what he relied on to fight against Zeus.
They didn't think that the god who could guess the maliciousness of Rhea's mother and son towards Queen Metis from the details would be a rampant fool.
After hearing Zeus's punishment, Aphrodite's expression remained unchanged, but she was relieved in her heart, just picking up pearls...
Aphrodite felt that if she guessed correctly, unless Zeus wanted to let him go, otherwise, even if he tried his best to pick up pearls, he could only pick up nine hundred and ninety-nine pearls a day at most.
The last pearl will never be found by him.
If it were an honest god, he would definitely devote himself to the great business of collecting pearls endlessly, and finally step into despair at the end of the nine hundred and ninety-nine pearls.
But Aphrodite didn't intend to listen to Zeus's arrangement. At most, he listened to Zeus's words and left Mount Olympus. As for picking up pearls, oh, let's dream.
If he doesn't seize even a single pearl, what can Zeus do to him? At most, I will not go back to Mount Olympus.
Aphrodite lowered her long eyebrows, and the brilliance flowed in those elegant and quiet eyes.
Thinking of her next arrangement, the corners of Aphrodite's mouth curled up in joy.
Zeus, soon you will be begging me to come back.
