Aphrodite looked at Nemesis, whose body was broken, and tightened her left hand behind her back. He put away Nemesis's soul, and then he would arrange for her to be reincarnated and settle in the new world. .
And now...
Aphrodite glanced at the gods, and said indifferently: "Everyone, this farce should be over."
He paused when he passed by Hera, and stretched out his left hand to her.
Hera looked up at him, and Aphrodite said softly, "Hera, are you okay?"
Hera raised her smudged red eyes, which were filled with tears, she raised her hand, and gently pushed Aphrodite's hand away, her voice was full of pain and rejection, she said :"I do not want you."
Aphrodite lowered her eyebrows and withdrew her hand, but did not walk away.
Hera was still immersed in sadness and pain, but she couldn't bear to show such a weak and incompetent side in front of Aphrodite. Hera lowered her head, covered her face tightly, took a light breath, and wiped away the bruises on her face. Tears, then stood up.
The atmosphere between the two of them was really weird, causing the gods to look sideways.
But compared to Hera, the gods have their own things that they care more about.
After seeing Aphrodite, Gaia's eyes flickered slightly, and she took two steps back subconsciously.
After realizing his panic, Gaia's face turned serious, and he turned around and left.
Aphrodite glanced at her, grabbed the rope that had tied Zeus before, knotted it into a noose, and threw it directly at Gaia.
The noose seemed to have a spirit, and the trap automatically grew larger, chasing Gaia and flew over, and then tightened suddenly after trapping Gaia, binding Gaia tightly.
And the goddess also staggered due to inertia and was tripped to the ground.
Aphrodite said to the gods: "The third generation of god king Zeus died due to a curse, and there is currently no owner of the gods. A new god king is urgently needed to manage and rectify the gods. I will preside over this matter." , do you have any comments?"
Hera lowered her head and didn't look at him, her gaze fell vacantly on the grass below, her expression dazed, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
The blond-haired and blue-eyed Apollo gave him a courtesy, with a gorgeous voice, and he said gracefully: "We agree with all the decisions made by Your Majesty, but before His Majesty announces the decision, can I have a private chat with you?" ?”
Aphrodite nodded slightly and replied, "Okay."
The main god of the sun and moon twins glanced at the gods, left with him, and went to the palace of the king of gods for a secret talk.
Although it was a private communication requested by Apollo, but when there were only three of them here, Apollo showed hesitation instead, not knowing what to say.
Aphrodite took the initiative to ask: "Apollo, do you want to ask me why I don't support you as the king of gods?"
Apollo froze for a moment, and then said: "So we guessed right, Cupid's decision is really your hint..."
Aphrodite sat on the throne, with her arms on the armrest, and her fingertips tapped rhythmically: "Apollo, Artemis, the power of the sun and moon and stars is very powerful, and the power of the source is also very strong." Potential. God's Domain and the new world I created cannot do without the shining of these two stars."
"These two godheads both have the potential to be promoted to the original god. If you want, I will help you two complete the promotion. It's just that there are still some things to be done before the promotion, but that is not a problem. Of course, You can also choose to compete for the position of God King... "
Aphrodite paused, and Apollo asked melancholy: "But if I choose to be promoted to God King, you won't help me eliminate other competitors, will you?"
Aphrodite smiled slightly and said, "After Hera becomes the king of the gods, I will be able to deploy some of the next deployments for the domain of the gods."
Artemis was a little dissatisfied and said: "Apollo is no worse than Hera. I don't mean that Apollo still wants to compete for the position of God King. I just justify his ability!"
Aphrodite raised her eyebrows and said, "It's not a matter of ability..."
Seeing that the twin gods were still a little unconvinced, Aphrodite simply said directly: "I intend to change the development direction of God's Domain, completely eliminate the influence left by Chaos, and let Hephaestus become me before, that is, The first main god, let the domain of God develop in the direction of industry, and cover all the previous forms of life."
"No matter how Hera treats Hephaestus, Hephaestus can never abandon his mother, and is willing to do his best for her to fulfill her wish. But if you are the king of gods, Hephaestus will Are you trying your best to do these things? If he has done his best to complete the tasks he has given, can you tolerate Hephaestus holding so much power?"
Aphrodite said lightly: "I don't intend to change the arrangement for Hephaestus. If you must become the king of gods, you and Hephaestus will become the next Zeus and me. But if All this could have been avoided if Hera had become God-King, because Hephaestus would not have rebelled against his mother."
Apollo was stunned, and after a while he smiled helplessly, "Everything Your Majesty does is always full of legitimate reasons."
"You have reversed the relationship between cause and effect. I didn't look for a reason after doing a certain thing, but I did it for this in the first place." Aphrodite said without changing her face.
Artemis and Apollo looked at each other, knelt down on one knee in front of him, put one hand on his chest, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, we are willing to give up the position of God King and follow your arrangement to be promoted to Primordial God." !"
Primordial God was a very good choice. He may not have as much power as God King, but his strength and status are not inferior.
Whether they choose to be god kings or not is one thing, even if they do, only Apollo will benefit.
If you choose to be promoted to the original god, the twin siblings will both be profitable. Of course, this path is better.
Aphrodite smiled a little, and was very satisfied with the choice and cooperation of the twin gods, so she said a few more words: "Wait for Hera to be promoted to the king of gods, and when things are arranged, I will promote you two gods." .”
The bi-color eyes of the main god of the twins are as crystal clear as gems, and they are obviously very happy.
Aphrodite began to summon the gods to come in, but Gaia didn't come, and when Aphrodite came in, she turned into mud and ran away.
Aphrodite didn't go after him either. He didn't even think about dealing with Gaia now. The reason why the rope caught her before was just because Gaia turned around and ran after seeing him, so he moved his hand subconsciously. That's all.
He looked at the gods who came in one by one in order of rank, and calculated the arrangements for them one by one.
After Hera became a god, Hephaestus inherited his position and glory and became the first main god. Ares's arrangement will be thought about later, he has no idea for the time being.
As the god of agriculture, Demeter's status will not be shaken at any time. Poseidon doesn't care about him.
Then there are only three Dionysus, Athena and Hermes left. Athena and Hermes are very easy to handle. Firmly controlled, although the situation like before will happen, but that kind of situation is a small probability event after all, no one else comes forward, and they dare not take risks to mess around.
Hermes was satisfied to continue to occupy the position of the main god after Zeus died, and no more arrangements were needed.
As for Athena, Aphrodite thought, didn't Narcissus say that the relationship between Hephaestus and her was a little subtle, and it happened that they were two partners, and Athena would spread wisdom. Spread the technology, let's introduce God's Domain into the industrial age together.
The hardest thing to do is actually Dionysus...
This god has made great achievements, because he killed the previous god king. But because of this, his position became awkward.
He has nothing to do with Hera. If Hera really becomes the king of gods, he must be extremely wary of this new god.
And this God of Dionysus is not a kind person. Under his bewildered and indulgent appearance, there is a crazy soul. He may not obey Hera's control, and there are no taboos on him. It is difficult to guarantee that this god will make something.
The many deaths have long confused Dionysus's sanity, and he is no longer a normal god.
The arrangement about Dionysus gave Aphrodite a bit of a headache, so his eyes followed Dionysus for a while.
The gods who had been paying attention to him couldn't stand it immediately, they either gritted their teeth or had a cold face, but the god Dionysus didn't care. .
Hera was expressionless, and she seemed to have sorted out her mood. After sitting down, she did not look at Aphrodite, stared at the gods and said stiffly: "Your Majesty Aphrodite, all the main gods have gathered, You can tell your plan for the new God King."
Aphrodite said gently: "Didn't they already choose you before? I respect the choices of the main gods and will not interfere at will."
The gods complained in their hearts, but this result itself is the result of your intervention.
To be honest, if everyone is really asked to choose, they don't want to choose Hera. She was extremely domineering when she was the queen of gods, one can imagine how powerful she would be after becoming the queen of gods, but they can't change these things, and it can only be like this...
Aphrodite continued: "I will crown you and wish you a smooth enthronement."
Hera finally turned her head to look at him. Aphrodite lowered her brows and eyes, not looking at anyone, and her expression was very indifferent. Hera sat upright again stiffly, and after a while she said stiffly: "Okay." .”
Aphrodite didn't care, and began to talk about the future development direction and plans of God's Domain.
When it came to Hephaestus and Athena working together to lead mankind to create the industrial age and replace God's domain with steam and machines, both gods were taken aback for a moment.
Hephaestus had a strange expression on his face, and always felt that His Highness's intention to arrange them in this way was inexplicable.
He thinks that he can lead the new era by himself, and it is superfluous to involve Athena. There are wise men in human beings, but the proportion is very low in terms of the total number. However, the creation of the industrial age only needs a few leading wise men, and the requirements for ordinary people are not high.
So why does His Highness want him to cooperate with Athena...
Hephaestus frowned, the depression and resistance almost written on his face.
Aphrodite couldn't ignore him, and Hephaestus was an important executor of the new era. If he was dissatisfied, it would affect the development of things.
Aphrodite thought for a while, and said to the gods: "Things are settled like this for the time being, but there will be changes later. Please leave first, I have something to talk to Hephaestus."
The gods are very interested in the industrial age that Aphrodite is about to usher in, and want to know what they can get from it.
Seeing that Aphrodite left Hephaestus to talk alone, she expected to discuss matters of the industrial age, so she didn't dare to delay the conversation between the two of them, so they also withdrew one after another.
Hera didn't move, and Aphrodite and Hephaestus didn't rush out again. When there were only three gods left in the temple, Aphrodite asked: "Hephaestus, what do I think?" Your expression is a little impatient, is there something dissatisfied with my arrangement?"
Hephaestus hurriedly said: "I'm not dissatisfied, but I'm a little confused... Your Highness, what is the purpose of you arranging Athena to partner with me? I think I can accomplish this by myself!"
Aphrodite looked at him thoughtfully, and asked, "Wouldn't it be nice for someone to help you?"
Hephaestus said in a low voice: "Then you might as well ask Ares to help me, at least I can scold him directly if he doesn't do well. But if Athena disagrees with me in some places , I also told her..."
