My Immortal Brother-in-law

Chapter 165 Ares Wants Proof

Peloponnese, in the territory of Sparta.

The priests of the Temple of Ares hurried over to meet Zhong Su, who had become king.

Seeing the priest coming, Zhong Su stopped training the three hundred warriors and returned to the palace with the priest.

As soon as they sat down, the priest said to Zhong Su.

"Great Ledanio I, His Majesty Ares requires you to hold a grand sacrifice for him three days later when the sun shines at its highest point. He will also bless you and grant you the path to mythology at that moment!"

"I see."

After hearing what the priest said, Zhong Su nodded slightly, then signaled the priest to leave.

At least for now, when he has not yet faced the Greek gods head on, he still has to give Ares face.

After the priest left, Zhong Su continued to lead the Spartan warriors in training, which is also what he does most in his daily life.

As the king of Sparta who is now responsible for leading the war, Zhong Su would have no reason to leave Sparta if there was no war.

However, Zhong Su was not in a hurry. Even though he had not been able to reunite with Nuwa until now, Zhong Su believed that Nuwa was not a woman like Yao Chi who needed care.

No matter when Nuwa was born or in which era she was born, he believed that Nuwa could take good care of herself.

The training continued like this until three days later, when Zhong Su led the Spartans in a grand sacrifice for Ares.

It just so happened that that day was also the Cripple Day that Sparta had always celebrated.

The so-called Cripti Day is a secret action day. As for the content of this secret action, it is naturally an open and aboveboard slave killing operation.

Although Zhong Su was not clear why Sparta named a fair killing operation as a secret operation.

But this has always been the tradition of Sparta, and even Zhong Su now is unable to stop it, or he has no reason to organize it.

Sparta's political system was extremely unique in all of Greece. It was an oligarchy ruled by a very small number of people.

In the whole of Sparta, except for a few Spartans, everyone else was a slave of the Spartans, and a few Spartans formed a community of equals to maintain the Spartans' legitimate rule over Sparta.

In order to better control and use slaves, the Spartans also made distinctions among slaves. They allowed some slaves to engage in handicrafts or commerce, and granted them some personal freedom, calling them the Piraeus.

Although the Periaci did not have political rights within Sparta, they were allowed to form separate families and enjoy personal freedom, and they still became an important help for the Spartans to control more helots.

As for the lowest class of helots, they are slaves to everyone.

Because the Helots are not satisfied with this dark and hopeless life, they are always making trouble.

In order to prevent the helots from launching an armed uprising, the Spartan community of equals would send a considerable number of Spartan family members to the streets every once in a while to kill all kinds of helots who looked strong and had a certain influence.

So, whenever it comes to Cripti Day, which is secret action day.

The entire Spartan city-state was filled with scenes of bullying and killing of helots.

Ares obviously liked this scene very much, so under normal circumstances, if Ares had a divine decree to give to Sparta, he would always choose such a day that would make him feel comfortable.

The same is true today, accompanied by...endless cries coming from the city-state of Sparta.

Ares walked out of the temple and came to Zhong Su with a defiant and high-spirited manner.

After taking a look at Zhong Suli's now strong body, Ares nodded with satisfaction, then raised his foot and kicked directly at Zhong Suli.

Facing Ares' flying kick, Zhong Su remained expressionless and kicked back fiercely.

The next moment, the soles of the two shoes collided in the air, and his and Ares' thighs also wrestled in the air.

boom!
A violent shock wave spread from between the two of them, pushing back the surrounding warriors.

As the earth cracked and countless people cheered, Ares retracted his right leg and then clapped his hands softly.

"If I had a warrior like you under my command during the Trojan War, I wouldn't necessarily lose to Athena!
What a pity, but it’s not too late now, haha!”

While laughing, Ares called Zhong Su and asked Zhong Su to walk beside him. He then took Zhong Su to wander around the Sparta city-state without restraint.

Watching the Spartans on the street constantly challenging the helots one-on-one, and then constantly killing the helots in battle.

Ares was fascinated, and he pointed at a Spartan child who was only eleven years old and killed people as he pleased, and said excitedly.

"Of all the cities in the world, I have always admired you the most, not because you carry the blood of my foolish brother Hercules.

But it’s because compared to Hercules, you mortals are more willing to use your best efforts to please me rather than to please Hercules, haha!

In recognition of your Spartan family's loyalty to me for hundreds of years, Leonidas, I will give you a chance, a chance to become a legend, an epic, and even to walk into Paradise Island and become a son of myth!"

Having said that, Ares reached out and grabbed Zhong Su's shoulders, turned Zhong Su's body, and continued speaking while staring into his eyes.

“I won’t give such an opportunity to anyone easily. Only when you let me see your talent can you get such an opportunity.

My father, the great king of gods, is worried about Poseidon. My stupid uncle is about to lose to a mere mermaid. His stupidity and incompetence are bringing shame to the entire Olympus!
As the god of the sea, Poseidon could not even defeat the sirens who depended on the sea for their livelihood. He was even threatened again and again by the sirens. It was not until he had no way to retreat that he begged Olympus for help.

But we gods will not do anything for such a stupid thing. The Gorgon sisters are Poseidon's trouble alone, so Poseidon should bear it alone.

Even if my father wanted to help Poseidon, it was obvious that his attempt had failed that year.

He took advantage of the twist of fate and sent one of his sons, Perseus, my disowned brother, hoping to cut off the heads of the Gorgon sisters.

But what does it matter? Haha, Perseus still has no name of Perseus until now, and the plan of God the Father has failed.

Just like countless pitiful, cowardly, incompetent and stupid descendants of the Father God who did not achieve legendary stories, Perseus was also one of the losers.

But after Perseus' death, my father god, due to an unexpected fate, did not dare to send anyone to attack the Gorgon sisters.

Even until now, when Poseidon is almost unmatched, my father God only dares to give the so-called help to Poseidon to gods like me who don't care about Poseidon.

Logically, I am too lazy to provide him with any help. Ever since he dragged me to Mount Olympus to seek Zeus' judgment, he and I have been irreconcilable!"

Having said that, Ares suddenly grabbed Zhong Suli's cloak, then leaned close to Zhong Suli's ear and continued to speak to him in a low voice.

"So, do you understand what you are going to do this time?

Go, find the Gorgon sisters, and witness Poseidon's loneliness and helplessness with your own eyes on my behalf!
You must remember that your arrival must provide sufficient help to Poseidon to prove that I am following the orders of the Father.

But you are not the son of God the Father, you are the king of Sparta, my favored one, and your heart should be filled with my desires!
And me, you know I don't like Poseidon!"

After he finished speaking, Ares smiled defiantly and then let go of Zhong Su.

Facing Ares at this moment, Zhong Su nodded thoughtfully, and then spoke decisively and neatly.

"You want me to kill Poseidon?"

"No, no, no, how could I think like that? How could a mortal kill my great uncle?

You are not going to kill anyone, you are just going to prove that you and I have tried our best!

The Gorgon sisters are the granddaughters of the ancient sea god Pontus, and they know what they should do!
So, Leonidas, I know you are very capable, but this time, I want you to prove your incompetence to Olympus for me!

And now is the time for you to decide whether or not to continue to honor me!"

At this point, Ares stared at Zhong Sulu with sharp eyes.

Facing Ares' gaze, Zhong Su nodded slightly and then spoke in a cold voice.

"For Sparta!"
