Greek Mythology: The Spiritual Dominator.

Chapter 578 Determination
Mount Olympus, Golden Palace.

On the tall throne at the top of the temple, the incarnation of the God King seemed to be taking a nap with his eyes closed.

After all, Zeus' mental state has not been ideal since the incarnation successfully delivered the message.

The two realms are so far apart that the distorted time sequence is hard to grasp.

So much so that no matter whether it was day or night, the God King seemed a little listless.

Days like this have been going on for a while, and even things in the outside world have become difficult to shut out... Fortunately, Zeus is Zeus after all, and this hardship is not a problem for him.

Gradually, he began to look for inspiration from the flashes of insight he had experienced before. After several attempts, he finally came up with a way to stabilize his mental state.

Externally, he used the authority of the God-King to perceive the operation of the world and comprehend the laws of nature; internally, he used his own will to comprehend the immortal divine power left by Typhon.

Zeus's plan was to let the complex information between heaven and earth and the remaining will of the King of Monsters counteract other influences and eventually find a "balance" point.

The fact that he still has time to focus his thoughts on the incarnation is enough to prove that this method is indeed feasible.

In this way, the spirit finally got some relaxation, and the incarnation in the abyss opened the door of sacrifice as soon as it completely repaired the [Thunder Pool], allowing the original body and the clone to complete several material exchanges between Asgard and Tartarus, which made the God King feel that his efforts were even more valuable.

From now on, you don't have to worry about the enemies from hell, because they have the Demon Mother and the Demon Prince on the road to promotion to hold them back.

However, when the door of sacrifice was opened, feeling the power of the God King that seemed to reject it, Zeus finally only took away the special artifact, and did not take away the remaining alien origin of the God of Thunder after repairing the [Thunder Pool].

It's not that he is not interested in those origins. It's just that after repeatedly confirming from the perspective of great divine power, the God King regretfully discovered that even if he integrated this origin from foreign lands into his own priesthood through the authority of the God King, he could not make the priesthood of [Thunder] complete a qualitative change and then possess the power of great divine power.

If the [Thunder Pool] had not been repaired, perhaps he would still have a chance... Of course, the greater possibility is that he would have no chance either.

After all, it is not that easy for [Thunder] to condense its own 'symbol'.

Things like the sky, the sun, the ocean and water all occupy a large proportion in the cycle of the world.

As long as the source power of the world rises and their own authority gradually becomes unified, it is almost natural for them to condense their symbols.

But correspondingly, [Thunder] is not so easy.

Unless Zeus can one day gather the [weather] of the ancient Titans, and even the [spring], [summer], [autumn] and [winter] of the spiritual world, then it will be possible to complete the condensation of symbols... Or from another perspective, when he truly becomes the actual master of the heaven, earth and sea, and then in the name of the Supreme God King, he turns [thunder] into a weapon to punish all those who violate the "royal power" in the world, and turns it into a "heavenly punishment" to judge all gods, humans and beasts, then he can also complete another sublimation of "symbols".

In addition, even if he could possess enough thunder origin, he could only continue to accumulate it in the field of quantity, but could not complete the qualitative transformation.

After all, if you want to construct a symbol, you must occupy a very important position in the overall cyclical order of the world.

It can be innate, such as [sky] [earth] [night] [life], which can spontaneously condense with enough source power.

It can also be acquired, like [reincarnation] and [royalty], which did not exist originally in the world, but were given important positions by people.

So since [Thunder] does not have a sufficient status innately, and Zeus does not have the ability and opportunity to give it a sufficiently key position in the future, it naturally cannot take shape.

So in this situation, he naturally chose the arrangement that was more beneficial to him.

You can try to recast the artifact so that it complements the [Thunder Arrow] to further enhance your power, but there is no need for the Origin of Thunder God.

Zeus was also very interested in Tartarus.

"In addition to that, there is also the memory that the Avatar mentioned, which he did not synchronize with me and can only be obtained after I take him back..."

Sitting high on the throne, looking at Ares who rushed in, Zeus wondered what he was going crazy about again, while silently thinking about the incarnation's statement.

Unable to synchronize, can he only retrieve the other party and browse it himself...It seems that he must have discovered something extraordinary.

And judging from the incarnation's description, this news is by no means a simple secret, but contains terrible danger.

But the abyss cannot leave him now. As the King of Gods, it is impossible for him to throw his incarnation into the abyss through the Sacrifice Gate.

Fortunately, it doesn’t take too long, as things in the human world won’t take long... Everything is done, and now it’s his turn to start the real action.

His eyes gradually became sharper, and the aura around him became more solemn. Zeus had carefully considered the experience of incarnation.

It no longer mattered whether the snake demon that revealed his incarnation was from the spirit world or someone else.

Because no matter who it is, Silvermoon City, the starry sky behind it, and even the spiritual world are his last enemies in the human world.

Once they were wiped out, the four seas and the starry sky would naturally be unified. And the first thing he needed to do was to determine the movements of the Lord of the Spirit World.

"The unknown is the most unpredictable enemy."

"So next, I have to give these main gods some confidence."

A shadow covered the incarnation's face, and the King of Gods silently watched Ares performing like a clown under the stage.

At this moment, the other party was pointing at the wounds on his body and accusing the enemy of cruelty to the God-King.

I sighed in my heart, as the queen of heaven, Hera is good in every way.

But when it comes to having children, she has achieved nothing.

Whether it was Hephaestus or Ares, they were guys that could not be counted on. If they had half the wisdom of Athena, she would not be so helpless.

Disappointed? Maybe a little.

But looking at the God of War who had no idea that he was accusing the King of Gods, Zeus felt that he was used to it.

Without expectations, there will be no disappointment, and that's the case with Ares.

In that case, let him... be the first spear destined to break.

"…Ares."

Speak lightly, without joy or sadness.

Inside the Golden Palace, the God of War looked up quickly when he saw that he had finally received a response.

But standing at this angle, Zeus' figure seemed to be hidden in the shadow. He could only see the other's eyes, but could not see the expression of the God King.

“…Father God!”

"You finally responded to me. Look, I..."

"enough!"

"Ares... were you aware that, because of your dereliction of duty, the prisoners of the gods have escaped from your custody?"

A cold voice interrupted the God of War's accusation, and above the Golden Palace, an illusory picture slowly emerged.

An empty cell appeared before Ares' eyes, his eyes widened as he recognized its origin at a glance.

"This is... a centaur. How dare he escape on his own?"

The words came out without thinking, but Ares reacted the next moment.

No, he didn't escape on his own, but was rescued by someone.

The human demigod who suddenly appeared near Olympia must be an accomplice. Although I was the first to attack him, this must be his fault... "——Snap!"

“——Father God!”

The wine glass fell from the sky and shattered above Ares' head.

Looking up, all I saw was Zeus' cold eyes.

The slight bit of anger he had originally felt disappeared in an instant, and the God of War didn't know why the King of Gods had such a reaction.

However, what followed was Zeus's judgment without any emotion.

"Ares...my child."

"You are the only son of Hera and I, and the one that disappoints me the most."

"From the day you were born, you have been given the best things in the world—the priesthood of war, the most beautiful wife, and the status I bestowed on you."

"I……"

boom--!
The overwhelming momentum suppressed Ares and instantly choked off his voice.

Looking at his son in front of him, Zeus' thoughts became clearer and clearer.

"You have everything. You have everything first."

"At that time, your sister Athena, who was supposed to be born long ago, had not yet come into the world, and you were free to roam the earth. But Ares, after all these years, tell me, have you accomplished anything?"

"No, not a thing."

"But it doesn't matter. Since you can't do it yourself, as your father and your monarch, I will tell you that I can not only grant you status... but also punish you."

Dang clang——

A broken sword surrounded by flames fell from the sky and stabbed into the ground of the Golden Palace.

A corrupt and chaotic aura emerged from it, frightening the God of War.

This was once a divine weapon, a divine weapon created by nature, but now it is broken.

Some powerful force broke it into two pieces, destroying its integrity.

Even so, Ares could vaguely judge that the original owner of this sword was definitely no less capable than himself.

But the fate of such a strong man is probably worrying now.

"Take it, Ares, and recover what you have lost—not a prisoner, but the cause of that prisoner's existence."

"This time, it's my last chance to give you... and this time, you're not going on my orders, but so that you still have the qualifications to stand here and stand shoulder to shoulder with the gods!"

"Ares, I hope you remember."

"If you bring me the same result again this time... then in the name of the God King, I will personally throw you into the abyss."

boom--!
Without giving him a chance to speak, he waved his hand and knocked the God of War and his broken sword out of the Golden Palace.

Sitting on the throne, the seemingly angry God King showed no emotion at all.

The broken sword came from the Demon Mother, and its origin was very clear.

Because she heard that Zeus even spent the essence of his divine power to repair the [Thunder Pool] in order to see her, Moya was moved and couldn't help but feel that she also needed to do something for him.

But in the past, she never cared about any treasures, because there was nothing in the abyss that could attract her.

Fortunately, in the deepest part of the abyss, Moya found the broken beheading chain sword when the original ancestor of the fire demon attacked hell. Although it was broken, it was still a powerful weapon.

The King of Gods originally planned to let Hephaestus recast it, but the other party was temporarily unable to shake the artifact of the abyss.

So he simply gave it to Ares, making him the first god to take the initiative to target mortals.

This was not his order, but Ares's spontaneous act to wash away the shame. So if he succeeded - which was impossible, because Zeus did not believe that he could break through Silver Moon City and Athens alone.

Then when the failed god of war has tried his best to detect the movements of some enemies, his mission will be over.

Next, the great God-King will personally step in and throw this incompetent fellow into the abyss, leaving him to hone his ridiculous abilities under the arrangement of his incarnations and allies.

But in return, his opponent must also pay an equal price.

The King of Gods threw his own son into the abyss, which was a sincere act. However, the whole incident started because Achilles disturbed the Court of Gods, so Silvermoon City had to accept the judgment of the Court of Gods.

As for the result of the trial...if they accept it, Zeus is even willing to forgive them all after sentencing them, because accepting the trial of the King of Gods itself means obedience.

Without bloodshed, he would be able to reap the fruits of his victory and take control of the influence of the spiritual world on the material world.

On the other hand, if they choose not to accept it... then I have done my best.

The watching goddess of night and his ally Erebus, who is unaware of his true purpose, will bear witness to his respect for the primordial god, and he will only be willing to fight when he has no other choice.

The gods in heaven and on earth will bear witness to his character and the justice he dares to judge, even as the son of the Lord God.

For the royal power, the support of the people is power, and right and wrong in justice are weapons.

So Zeus is not angry at all at this moment, and Ares... this is what you deserve.

"Let the abyss teach you... The local conditions and customs there will help you understand how to be a god of war."

"And you... the spirit world..."

"Ten thousand years have passed in a flash..."

"And what you gave me at that time...I should also return it."

The first time I met the Lord of the Spirit World, I saw the 'corpse' of the Sun God.

I am about to see him for the second time, and the trigger is also the magic sword forged from the remains of the sun.

Sometimes when he thought about it, Zeus also thought it was very clever.

Wherever you fall, you get up.

This is how a God King should be.

······
The center of the earth, the ruins of Mount Odile.

Since the Second Era, there has been no trace of human presence here.

The pillar of heaven collapsed here, leaving behind a mountain range that stretched for tens of thousands of miles.

It extends along the place where the mountain collapsed, severing the east-west connection of the earth and blocking the passage of water veins from the north to the south.
