My Immortal Brother-in-law

Chapter 164 Dionysus and Athena

Zhong Su was indeed very strong. Even though he was only seven years old, his strength exceeded that of every Spartan.

Including Sparta's strongest hero today, Chelorus.

But even so, he was too young. Although he was only seven years old, he was far better than the heroes among mortals, but he was far from being comparable to the God of War himself.

Facing Ares' charge, the only thing Zhong Su could do was to avoid losing his balance due to Ares' impact.

But even so, his body was pushed back by Ares all the way until his back smashed into the palace wall. Then he was knocked through the palace and finally stopped at the daily training ground of the three hundred warriors.

"Not bad, really good!"

Seeing that Zhong Suli was still able to maintain his fighting ability, Ares nodded happily, then took two steps back to give Zhong Suli some time to buffer.

In response to Ares's expectations, Zhong Su slammed his left hand hard to slightly relieve the pain caused by the impact.

Then, Zhong Su silently knocked his shield with his spear, and then took a fighting stance towards Ares.

At this point, Ares no longer held back and immediately started fighting with Zhong Su.

The battle was so fierce that it lasted for more than two hours before it ended with Zhong Su's defeat.

Looking at Zhong Su who was lying on the ground and unable to stand up, Ares excitedly knocked on his shield and said while squatting beside Zhong Su.

"You have proven yourself to me, and from this day forward, I declare you king.

Enjoy your life to the fullest. When you have enjoyed it enough, I will let you enter my kingdom and follow me into Olympus!
Because you are the man who makes Ares happy, haha!"

With loud laughter, Ares turned around and left in a dashing manner, disappearing in just a few steps.

And Zhong Su, lying on the ground, also clearly understood the gap between himself and the gods.

So, how big is the gap between them?

Actually... there is no gap!
Because even though Zhong Su was defeated, until the end, he was only fighting with his own body. He did not use any magical powers except for subduing dragons and tigers.

With just his seven-year-old body, he was able to barely contend with Ares.

Then when I grow up, my physical fitness will definitely not be worse than those of the gods, and may even be stronger.

By then, with the addition of other magical powers, I'm afraid even Zeus would not be his opponent.

But this is the world of Greek mythology after all.

The water here is not shallow.

Therefore, Zhong Su was not in a hurry to enjoy life, but silently basked in the sun in the deep pit, trying to make himself stronger as much as possible.

While Zhong Su was resting, the Spartans, who were deeply shocked by the battle just now, gathered around Zhong Su under the leadership of King Sandrides.

They enthusiastically lifted Zhong Su above their heads, and then shouted the words left by Ares.

"From today on, you will be crowned king!"

"Only seven years old, King Leonidas!"

"You are the one who made the gods happy, and you are the one who fought with Ares!"

"You will eventually enter Olympus, and you will eventually lead us to create myths!"

At this moment, even Zhong Su's father, who was the king, was calling out Leonidas' name as king.

From then on, the name of Leonidas I spread throughout Sparta and even reached the Athenians.

After the stories of the Iliad and the Odyssey came to an end, people on the ocean and land of Greece had not heard of new epics and myths for a long time.

The name of Leonidas came into being at this moment, causing the whole of Greece to burst into great enthusiasm!

And Zhong Suli's life is also slowly growing under the gaze of countless eyes.

……

Ten years later, in Sparta.

Zhong Su led eighty of the three hundred warriors back from the Bolok Peninsula and brought back the head of a Minotaur.

The huge bull head became a new decoration of Sparta, and the scars on the bodies of the returning warriors became badges for the warriors to show off to each other.

As for Zhong Su, after returning, he welcomed his father.

Looking at Sandrides who was sitting on the throne and coughing softly, Zhong Su nodded and performed the Spartan unique spear salute.

Looking at the high-spirited Leonidas, Sandrides smiled with satisfaction, then waved his hand tiredly.

"Mortals are like this, even though I used to be able to chase the enemies until I broke into their lairs and violated their wives and daughters.

But now I can’t even climb into a woman’s bed.

You should have inherited the bloodline of Achaea and carried the throne of the Achilleid lineage. So today, you, the heir who has already been crowned as king by Ares, can finally sit on your throne!"

After he finished speaking, Sandrides stood up with difficulty, making his knee, which had been injured by an arrow, stand up with difficulty. While trying to stand steadily, he led Zhong Su to the throne in front of all the nobles of Sparta.

Below, Zhong Su's half-brother Cleomenes no longer felt unwilling, but like every Spartan man, he watched Zhong Su ascend the throne excitedly.

The moment he sat there, all the warriors knelt down before him, including Cleomenes and Dorius. All the Spartans had been looking forward to this day sincerely, and for too long.

From this day on, Sparta, which was already full of vitality, burst into new vitality, and their vitality also led to more wars in Greece.

In the distance, in Athens, Athena stood up from the temple and looked towards Sparta.

"Can a mortal really improve to such an extent, or is he not a mortal at all?"

"Who knows, my sister?"

Listening to Athena's words, Dionysus, who was visiting her temple, responded drunkenly.

In recent years, due to the continuous spread and diffusion of wine, Dionysus has gradually replaced his sister and become one of the twelve main gods of Olympus.

Even as time goes on, his status as the god of wine continues to grow.

As for why...

The reason is actually very simple.

When people in a country are able to use alcohol as a daily necessity, the lives of people in this country are relatively better than those in many other countries.

The production of wine, whether it is grain wine or wine, will occupy a large part of social resources, including land and human resources.

When a country has the ability to maintain a drinking culture on a large scale, it is certainly becoming stronger.

What's more, if a nation is completely fond of drinking, then the country must also be relatively warlike.

Although alcohol can make people drunk and live a life of debauchery, most people may not die after coming into contact with alcohol. Instead, they will suffer from various types of battles because of alcohol.

Therefore, nations that love wine are relatively warlike and often better at fighting.

After all, they fight when they are drunk, so they are used to it.

In this way, after countless countries that believed in Dionysus gradually rose and became increasingly powerful.

The divine authority and power of Dionysus will naturally continue to increase with the proportion of faith.

As for this moment, looking at her brother who was always drunk, Athena shook her head without comment.

“Of course you don’t know, but I always thought he was very strange. For a mortal, Leonidas really stood out.

It sticks out so much...it reminds me of that guy!"

Having said this, Athena gritted her teeth, as if the guy she mentioned had caused her a great loss.

On the side, after hearing Athena's words, Dionysus thought for a moment and then sneered.

"Who knows, sister? Maybe after that day, every time you see a prominent person, you will feel that she is the same kind of person as that person?"

At this point, Dionysus pulled out a bottle of wine and drank it in one gulp, spilling most of it.

Then he put down the wine jug and looked into the depths of the sea.

As he watched, Dionysus continued.

"Six hundred years have passed, and the war between the Gorgon sisters and Poseidon has still not come to an end.

Especially as Poseidon becomes increasingly weaker, even if we are unwilling to admit it, Poseidon is probably gradually heading towards defeat.

But it is obvious that our father God would not allow Poseidon to fail, especially to a sea monster with a human upper body and a snake lower body.

But for the sake of spreading the story, our father god, who is very concerned about his reputation, would not send more main gods to encircle and suppress a mere sea monster.

so……"

As he spoke, Dionysus pointed in the direction of Sparta.

“So during this period, Sparta really gave birth to a powerful person who was comparable to or even far superior to a demigod.

So, my sister, are you really willing to believe that he is such an accident of fate?

After all, in my opinion, he is more like a weapon and the continuation of a myth.

To be more specific, don't you think he is very similar to us in the past?
If nothing goes wrong, hehe, we will soon be able to hear the epic story of the Spartan king's conquest of the Gorgon sisters~"
