Type-Moon, a human love simulator.

Chapter 112 Father God Zeus and the King of Gold
"How can that be? That can't be possible!"

Suerlun waved his hand. He was just an ordinary person and did not have the courage to desire the goddess.

In fact, Suren is still a person who lives a daily life. The true love he wants is one who can live a peaceful life with him. Except for Hestia, none of these goddesses are easy to deal with. Not only are they narrow-minded, but they are also very troublesome.

In Greece, goddesses equal walking trouble.

Athena chuckled and said meaningfully, "It's better if you don't have it... Even if you don't have it, it doesn't mean that others don't have it."

"Ah?" Surren didn't understand what Athena meant. He said in amazement, "There really is a warrior who wants to marry the goddess? Who is he? Is he so brave?"

"..."

Even Athena couldn't help but grit her teeth and said, "My Sulun, what kind of image do the goddesses of Olympus have in your heart?"

"There are only three virgin goddesses in Olympus. They won't have any trouble finding a husband!"

As if he could sense Athena's displeasure, Suren quickly shut up. Sometimes when he first got up, he was not even afraid of the Great Father God. For example, when Atalanta killed Hippomenes, he said that unless Poseidon, the king of the sea, came forward, you would not be able to escape death.

Although Ta Miao hated this despicable person very much and wanted to kill him, he still had to consider the face of the god and could not embarrass Poseidon.

This is the Age of Gods. Gods are the rulers of the world, and everyone must submit to the will of Gods.

But Suerlun would not do that. If someone really violated his bottom line, Suerlun would not care about the face of God at all. At that time, he would definitely act according to his own nature.

But on weekdays, Surlun treats the gods with great humility. He will carefully observe the reactions of the gods. When dealing with the gods, he seems to have set standards for all things invisibly, and put on a mask called "attitude".

There is a human attitude towards people, a friendly attitude towards friends, and naturally, a divine attitude towards gods.

However, Athena did not like this mask called "attitude". What she wanted was a real Suren. She wanted to see Suren's true thoughts towards the gods, not a mask that was made for the world and for the gods to see.

Even if Surren's true attitude towards the gods was not very respectful, or even offensive, Athena could accept it. At least it was more pleasing to the eye than the current 'mask'.

However, Athena also knew that this was not an easy task. She sighed and said earnestly, "Sullen, the gods are actually very tolerant of humans. Punishing humans is more about fulfilling their responsibilities as gods. This is a necessary evil."

"And the true heart of God is more about love for humans. We were born out of human faith, and only then were we able to gain our true form and emotions today."

Athena looked at Surren, her golden eyes showing seriousness: "Have you ever seen gods other than the Twelve punishing humans and bringing trials other than the Calydonian Boar to humans?"

Gods were born from human belief, so gods love humans the most. Even in different regions and myths, all gods are paying attention to humans and loving humans in their own ways.

However, gods are, after all, advanced life forms that transcend the human dimension. Gods’ way of thinking does not take into account the influence of tiny human emotions. They take into account the overall situation of all humans in the entire region.

Many manifestations of God's love, in the eyes of humans, are pure divine punishment, and naturally gods become beings that cannot be disobeyed and need to be served carefully.

"Goddess Athena, thank you for your trust in me. I know that this is the love of God."

After a moment of silence, Suerlun said, "I know you are talking to me, but the behavior of the gods is really hard to praise."

"Even a scum like Hippomenes can get the support of the gods. I really can't imagine what kind of precious things can make the gods spurn them."

Suren didn't have any problems with the gods. He just had some complaints about their overly broad-minded love. He always felt that the gods were like universal wish-making machines that would grant any wish.

Seeing Athena's sincere attitude, Suerlun no longer concealed it: "I hate Greece, but I also like Greece very much. I love this land, but I hate everything here!"

"Although I have only been out for less than three years, and my contact with people has only been very short, I even regret it now-"

"Should I never have left this forest from the beginning? Should I refuse to communicate with any creature outside the forest?"

Surren looked at Athena, and for the first time in his eyes, his true emotions after taking off the mask of "attitude" flashed: "Athena, you said you are the mother of heroes--"

"I just want to ask you, is anyone worthy of being called a hero?"

"Goddess Athena, you have guided countless heroes in their adventures. Your legend has accompanied the epics of Greek heroes. Your guidance of heroes has become an inseparable part of the Greek mythology epic."

"But, those bandits, those despicable people... are they really worthy of those honors?"

Surren's voice was calm, but contained anger.

"Athena, I am confused about this. As a human being, I should be grateful for God's love—"

"But the love of God for people should not be lenient, but should be accompanied by constraints and rules for people."

Surren had already prepared himself to be punished by the furious Athena, and he had even taken out Equis so that Athena could take it back.

After all, gods are the most stubborn. How could they abandon their way of life and tolerance towards humans for thousands of years just because of a few words from Suren?

Athena should be angry because Suren offended all the gods by questioning the gods' love for humans as a most insignificant mortal.

but--

"…I can't argue with that, Surren."

The divine light around Athena was suppressed to the extreme. She raised her hand as if she wanted to touch Surlun's head, but in the end she just brushed across the Equis he took out.

Athena pushed Equis to Surlun and said, "Equis is no longer of much use to me. In the Greek pantheon, there is no god other than Zeus who can make me passively defend."

"Suerlun, this is an honor I give you, please don't refuse it, okay?"

"No, don't be disappointed with Greece..."

"I am not disappointed in Greece, Athena."

Surlun was a little at a loss. He didn't expect Athena to have such an attitude. He suddenly felt ashamed. Did he say something too much?

God’s love is different from man’s love. God will respond to man’s desires because this is the first cause of God’s birth.

Rather than blaming the Greek gods for favoring these corrupt bandits, it is better to say that it was these Greeks, whose morality and civilization were still barbaric and savage, who were infected by the wisdom and rationality of the gods.

"Athena, I promise you." Suerlun said seriously: "I won't let you down... Now, you put Equis on me, this is my greatest honor-"

"In the future, Equis will be honored because of me."

"My honor is your honor, my goddess Athena."

"Well, beautiful Surlun..." Athena had a smile in her eyes. She noticed that the way Surlun addressed her had changed, and she felt a little happy but not complacent.

Because this was the treatment she deserved, and now she was just getting it back.

When Athena noticed that Surren addressed her and Hestia differently, she had already thought about this day and the events that had been planned long ago, so naturally she would not be happy about it.

"Then, let's go on the adventure!"

Athena looked at Surren and said, "My chosen hero, the beautiful man favored by the three goddesses, the warrior of pure love!"

"Don't stop your adventurous steps. You are carrying the attention of three goddesses."

Thunder roared again in the sky. Athena blinked at Surren and said, "Surren, Hera, the most jealous person in the world, is unhappy..."

"You should carve two more statues, you know what I mean?"

Surren looked behind him and saw a life-size statue of Athena standing in his room. He pursed his lips and thought that these gods were really crazy about figurines...

He even wanted to make statues of himself throughout Greece for everyone to see.

This kind of fanatical purity is usually only possessed by otaku, right?
No wonder he is obsessed with loli idols.

Suren said helplessly: "Athena, I only have one room, and it is very small and not spacious. At least compared to the magnificent temple in the city-state of Athens, my room can be said to be a doghouse."

“If we place multiple statues of goddesses here, wouldn’t that seem disrespectful?”

Suren couldn't help sweating. The goddesses were the most willful beings in Greece. If you were not careful, the goddesses would turn against you, take back everything they had given you, and even curse you.

Athena laughed, her bright eyes full of mockery: "My Suerlun... not all goddesses have such a good temper as me."

"You've already made a statue of Artemis before. I don't care at all about that."

After all, this is no longer a treatment that belongs to me alone!

"Besides, Hera is not easy to talk to. Be careful that she may cause trouble for you~"

Athena's reminder was kind enough to say that since her statue had already been built, if she kept it to herself, Hera would have no choice but to come and talk to Suren about the statue.

But her kindness is limited, and limited——

After all, Athena secretly tripped Hera up and reported her.

Now Athena treats Surlun more like appreciating and playing with a very interesting gadget. Even though she is full of admiration for Surlun, it does not stop her from having some fun and enriching her life as a god.

In Greece, it is easy to win the favor of the goddess, but it is very difficult to get her precious and shining heart.

Suer Lun raised his eyebrows and looked at her, then nodded and said, "Thank you for the reminder, goddess."

"..."

Athena suddenly felt something was wrong. Her 'wisdom power' gave her extraordinary intuition, and she could even assess the risks of things that had not happened.

For example, it hasn't happened yet, but Athena has realized that it would be disadvantageous to continue talking about this topic, so she forcibly changed the subject: "Sullun, in this case, then the next adventure will be guided by Hera!"

Athena's words convey tolerance and generosity, but in fact it is a strategy of retreating to advance by the goddess of wisdom!

How could Hera understand what adventure was?
And she also has to guide Surlun to find true love during the adventure. How could Cricket Hera possibly do that?

When Hera makes a mess, Suren will naturally remember the kindness of Athena.

This is Athena's strategy!
This comparison highlights how Athena is stronger than Hera!
-
Suren once again found two pieces of high-quality marble and carved out the statues of Hera and Hestia bit by bit.

The statue of Hestia is very easy to carve, and Suren has seen the original one.

As for Hera?

Although Suren had never seen it, he carved a statue of Hera in the image of Juno.

Since Athena's 'priest' Pallas is Athena, then why is Hera's 'priest' Juno not Hera?
Looking at the confrontation between Juno and Athena at that time, it is hard to imagine that she was a mortal.

Even if the guess was wrong, when Hera's true form descended, he would just carve a new one. Suren would always have a way anyway.

When Suren created the statue of Hera in the image of Juno, Hera did not come, which seemed to indicate that his guess was correct.

Pallas is Athena, Juno is Hera, Hestia...well, this socially anxious goddess showed up in her true form to meet Suren, but she didn't cause any trouble.

So he visited three temples in one go and saw three gods?

Suer Lun couldn't help but complain: "Aren't these gods a little too idle..."

Having said this, he was silent for a moment. Suerlun suddenly realized that the effect of the only golden entry, [Walking with the Gods], was a little too excessive.

Suren placed a sacrifice that satisfied Hera, and then said: "Goddess Hera, Suren pays you the highest respect."

After saying this, I looked at the goddess statues on the other two sides of the room and felt that I would offend someone if I didn't say something.

So, Surren stood in front of the statue of Hestia again and said, "Hestia, are you there? What do you like? If you don't have any special offerings, why don't I show you my cooking skills to please you?"

As he spoke, Suerlun watched as a flame suddenly lit up in front of the statue of Hestia...

It seems that Hestia not only heard Suren's words, but also thoughtfully sent the sacred fire for cooking.

She really made me cry to death.

Who is a good person who worships the statues of three goddesses at home?

It's not that it's not possible, but this kind of behavior is somewhat blasphemous to the goddess. Normal people would never dare to offend the gods in this way...

The gods are noble and great. Therefore, as believers of the gods, building a huge temple to worship the gods seems a little insufficient. Who would dare to cram the statues of the three goddesses into such a small and broken cave?

But Surlun was an exception. In the cave where he lived, Hera, Athena, and Hestia were worshipped at the same time. Next to the tallest tree in the forest, there was a statue of Artemis carved by Surlun himself...

We are offering sacrifices to four gods at once. If we shout 'Goddess, save me', I don't know who will come, or will everyone come together?

Surlun didn't want to blaspheme the gods, but when he saw that the statue of Athena had been carved, Hera, who had been watching Surlun, even struck him with a bolt from the blue, reminding him that he might have forgotten something...

There was no other choice but to rush out the statues of the other two goddesses.

At night, when Surren was sleeping, Hera appeared in his dream and said with a smile: "Surren, do you still insist on pure love? Do you swear to be loyal to your family?"

"If you remain like this, Hera will grant you the most loyal woman in Greece as your wife."

The true love that Athena found for Suren was Atalanta, the strongest female hero in all of Greece, whose strength surpassed that of many male demigod heroes.

However, Suren did not like her. Instead, he advised Atalanta to learn to be independent and get rid of the dodder mentality of fawning on men.

As the mother of heroes and the guiding god of adventurers, Athena's starting point is "hero", and she believes that only powerful heroes are worthy of Surren.

As the queen of heaven and the patron saint of marriage, Hera's starting point is "loyalty". She believes that Suren is strong enough, so the wife he needs will not be an equally powerful hero, but a good woman who is loyal to marriage and insists on pure love.

It is hard to say who is right or wrong. The two goddesses have different duties and values, so their blessings to Surlun are naturally based on their own thinking patterns.

Suerlun scratched his head, a little confused, but still said polite words out of habit: "Great Queen Hera, what you have given me is exactly what I have asked for..."

"Well, beautiful and loyal Suren, Hera has granted your request."

"I will not let you down……"

"Tomorrow, you will receive Hera's revelation..."

Suerlun slept in a daze. When he woke up in the morning, he almost forgot the communication with Hera in his dream. After habitually offering tributes to the three goddesses, Suerlun was suddenly stunned. He said to himself: "Did I forget something?"

At the same time, Apollo was pulling Artemis with all his might. He looked a little flushed and thick-necked due to pulling too hard, and there was no trace of the graceful demeanor of an elegant male god.

"Sister... Artemis! Stop it!!!"

In the end, Apollo was more powerful and he successfully suppressed Artemis. The Silver Bow King gasped and said, "Calm down, Suren doesn't know you are Cynthia!"

"Besides, even if he knows, so what? Don't forget that your oath has not been lifted. Do you really want to force me to kill him?"

There was a hint of danger and anxiety in Apollo's eyes. Athena, his good brother, was indeed trustworthy and his actions were very satisfactory. He was indeed guiding Suren to find a partner.

But it was a pity that Surren did not like the true love that Athena had guided him to, but Athena immediately asked Hera for help. This serious attitude showed that Athena did not take his commission lightly, but took it very seriously...

I owe you a favor, and I must repay you in the future.

When Artemis heard Apollo mention the oath again, she suddenly wilted. Tears flashed in her eyes and she cried, "But, my Suren... he never forgot to sacrifice to me!"

"Now, he already has three goddesses and has long forgotten me..." "Apollo, do you think Suren is angry? He must be angry because the man before talked nonsense in front of me and took away his credit. I didn't support him."

"But I really punished him. If Suerlun hadn't saved him, that man would have been burned to death now."

If Suren had not intervened, after Meleager killed his uncle, his heartbroken mother Althea would have sworn to the goddess of vengeance to avenge her brother, and then Meleager would have been burned to death like firewood.

Apollo: “…”

I think this matter has been over long ago. Do you think Suren is as narrow-minded as you? Didn't he pretend not to see Meleager when he met him before?

The naive and love-brained goddess is very troublesome, and when this naive and love-brained goddess is your twin sister from the same mother, the headache index will rise sharply.

Apollo took a deep breath and patiently coaxed him, "No, no, how could Surren forget his original goddess? It must be that Hera was watching him too closely..."

Artemis raised her tearful face and said eagerly, "You mean..."

Apollo nodded seriously, "Yes, it was all Hera's fault (outrageous statement)!"

Damn it, let’s fight Hera!
Anyway, Apollo and Artemis, brother and sister, have had a bad relationship with Hera from the beginning, so there is no burden at all in pushing Hera to take the blame now.

There is no other way. If I don't say this, my love-brained sister will probably come up with hundreds of thousands of words of abusive stories and put herself in some weird role.

"Okay, Artemis, there's no point in you worrying here."

Apollo was too lazy to argue with Artemis, so he said directly: "You should think about how to cancel your oath to the great father Zeus, or weaken it a little. In any case, in your current state, I will not let you go to see Suren!"

"..."

Artemis looked at Surren not far away infatuatedly, and finally nodded and said with determination: "Okay, Apollo, I will definitely find that opportunity!"

"True love will last forever!"

"...Okay, okay, you find a solution first."

Apollo rubbed his head, feeling even more helpless. What nonsense was Suerlun talking about? Wouldn't this make his love-brained sister more self-conquering?
Suerlun may have just said it casually to express his longing for true love.

But Artemis, who had been secretly paying attention to Surlun, thought that this was what Surlun said to her, which made her more determined in her own ideas and that true love needs cruel and rigorous tests to come to fruition.

Now Artemis keeps talking about true love, which makes Apollo feel overwhelmed.
-
After Suerlun cooked a meal with the holy fire given by Hestia, he finally realized what he had missed...

He forgot to offer sacrifices to the owner of this forest, Artemis, the lord of the wilderness!

Suerlun suddenly felt his scalp tingling. Even if he had the protection of three goddesses, such blatant disrespect for the gods would surely lead to some kind of divine punishment, right?

Families, look at Calydon in the distance!
However, Artemis' punishment had not yet come, so Suren hurried over to make up for the sacrifice. Seeing that Artemis still accepted it in seconds, Suren finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this goddess was quite generous!
"Thank you, Lady Artemis, thank you for your tolerance towards me, love you~"

Suerlun made a little heart shape with his hands. Although he still maintained a proper respectful "attitude" towards the gods, he was no longer as nervous and cautious as he was at the beginning. He was much more relaxed. When facing the familiar gods, he could occasionally make a joke and show his true character.

Maybe it’s because, from Athena to Hera to Hestia, and the first god Artemis I met, and Apollo I met on the road…

Every god was so kind to him.

The forest was silent for a moment, and then the whole forest came alive. Countless plants and trees emitted soft waves, and strands of great magic power from the Age of Gods poured into Surlun's body.

This magic power... no, it should be said that it is divine power that fills Surlun's body. Now, the humanity in him has disappeared and he can be said to be a completely inhuman creature.

Athena and Hestia built an immortal foundation for Surren, and now Artemis is filling this immortal foundation with the qualifications to become a god.

It is not impossible for a mortal to become a god. It just depends on whether the gods are willing to pay the price for you.

In Greece, in Olympus, only the king of gods, Zeus, can confer divine offices upon the gods.

But nothing is absolute. If there is a main god who is willing to separate his priesthood and power, he can still give it to others and make them his subordinate gods.

"Sulun, even if the Age of Gods disappears, I will keep you by my side forever..."
-
Suren completely forgot the conversation with Hera in his dream.

This is the power of God, which is invisible and intangible. Even if they have spoken to you before, as long as they are willing, they can make you feel like you have known each other before, meet you without knowing each other, or meet you as if you know each other.

However, he remembered the reminder Athena gave to Surren very clearly, and Athena's adventure guidance came to an end. Although Surren did not declare that the true love adventure had failed, it was not a success either.

Then it was Hera's turn.

"Lord Hera, your follower Surren awaits your revelation."

Surren respectfully gave offerings to all the goddesses, not forgetting Lady Artemis this time.

It was understandable the first time, but if it happened again, I would be transformed into a deer by the mistress of the wilderness.

After doing all this, Surlun stretched his body, shot a roe deer and roasted it for dinner. Just as he was making a fire to roast the meat, a weak voice was heard.

"Is there anyone... help me..."

"Revelation will only come to those who need help. Perhaps, only such people are qualified to receive revelation!"

Suren stood up and bowed to Hera. He knew that this was guidance from Hera.
-
When Suren received Hera's revelation, the Greek heroes did not stop their adventurous steps.

Jason, son of Iolcus's previous king Aeson, is dreaming of a throne of his own.

"Jason, if you want to take the throne of Iolcus, go get the Golden Fleece of Colchis. If you can get this treasure, I, your uncle Pelias, will give you the throne."

"..."

"Great Queen of Heaven, Mistress of the Sky, Goddess of the Golden Throne, Protector of Marriage, White-armed Goddess Hera, Jason asks you to help me complete my adventure..."

"..."

Hera did not respond, and there was only a faint thunder in the sky.

Hera didn't refuse either.

As a member of the royal family of one of the Greek city-states, Jason was very familiar with the etiquette for treating gods, but he had never expected such a situation.

Hera neither rejected him nor responded to him.

The reason for praying to Hera was also the result of Jason's careful consideration. The king of Colchis, Aeetes, was Hera's enemy and a very powerful demigod king.

If you want to fight against Aeetes, only the help given by Hera is the most reliable!
But Jason miscalculated...

"My Lady Queen..." Jason clenched his fists, took a deep breath and said, "It must be that my sacrifice and faith were not pious enough to move Hera to come."

"Next, I will find Hercules to help me prepare a sacrifice to please Hera."

Hercules, meaning 'glory of Hera'.
-
On the other side, Suren picked the biggest and reddest apple from the only apple tree in the entire forest and offered it to Hera.

The intact fur was offered to Athena.

The roast meat and broth were offered to Artemis and Hestia respectively. This was considered fair and did not cause any disputes among the goddesses.

"Licking one goddess may be considered a dog licker, but I am licking them at the same time... Bah! I am worshipping four goddesses and even have to consider the issue of keeping balance. What on earth am I?"

Suerlun couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Just when he had finally completed the offering ceremony and was about to enjoy his captured prey, a faint cry for help attracted his attention.

Surren had a hunch and knew that this was his adventure.

He raised his head and looked towards the place where the sound came from. He strode over and parted the dense grass to reveal a person.

He looked weak and was about to die. Surlun would certainly not stand by and watch him die. He fed him a bowl of broth cooked with the holy fire and successfully saved the dying man's life.

"…Thank you for your help. I am Cadmus, son of Agenor, the king of Phoenicia."

"It's just a small matter. I won't just stand by and watch someone die." Suerlun waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "But, Phoenicia?"

"I remember it was a bit far from Greece?"

No, it’s very far.

Greece is on the Mediterranean and Aegean Sea side, while Phoenicia is in the Middle East. The gods of the Phoenician Canaanite religion were the arch-enemies of Christianity. When Christianity rose in the future, these gods became demons.

But that was all after the Twelve Greek Gods withdrew. Phoenicia is now also under the rule of the Twelve Greek Gods, and the Phoenicians also believe in the Twelve Greek Gods.

The seas and lands of the Age of Gods were not peaceful. Cadmus was able to run all the way from Phoenicia to Greece...

You know, this place is close to Athens.

"Alas~" Phoenician Prince Cadmus sighed and finally chose to confide: "Yes, if it weren't for being forced, who would be willing to make such a difficult journey in the Age of Gods?"

"...My sister, Europa, was kidnapped by a great white bull."

Cadmus explained the reason and sighed, "My father, the King of Phoenicia, was deeply saddened by this. He missed his beloved daughter so much that he became ill. Therefore, he drove me and my brothers Phoenix and Cyrches out."

"My father once said that if we can't find my sister Europa, then we won't go back."

After hearing this, Suerlun fell silent.

Europa, the great white bull...

Even though he was not familiar with Greek mythology and had never heard of Cadmus the Little Calami, he knew these two well-known names.

If Suren guessed correctly, then Cadmus would never be able to return to Phoenicia in his lifetime...

No, it should be said that Agenor will spend the rest of his life in loneliness and regret.

Because his sons had no chance of finding Europa who was abducted by the god Zeus, he was so angry that he blurted out that if Europa could not be found, he would not allow any of his sons to return home.

Well, if the three princes cannot establish a career outside, they will just be like Cadmus just now, and they may die in a foreign land at any time.

When Agenor regains his sanity, he will surely regret having driven his sons away, but he is powerless and can only let the pain tear through his flesh and blood...

Such a human tragedy, in the final analysis, is nothing more than Zeus's small willfulness.

"..."

Suer Lun closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths and exhaled slowly. He opened his eyes and said, "I'll help you resolve this feud. I'll take care of this matter!"

"Even Zeus can't be kept, I said!"

Above the sky, thunder roared throughout the world, and the powerful divine power even caused the entire forest, the entire mountain, the entire land, and the entire river...

Everything in the heaven and earth, all things in the universe, bowed before the roaring thunder. Cadmus knelt down in front of the thunder immediately and dared not say anything.

Cadmus knew that Suren was helping him, and his wild words angered Zeus. He wanted to defend Suren, but he didn't have the courage to speak.

In front of the Supreme God King who holds all the divine power in Greece, even kneeling on the ground has already exhausted all the courage.

Only Suren, and only Suren, did not kneel down and worship Zeus.

He was not a pedantic person who sought fame and reputation and never bowed down to any god. At least he often bowed down to Artemis, Athena and Hera.

But now, he didn't want to kneel down to Zeus.

The thunder in the sky became more and more fierce, as if it was brewing terrible murderous intent.

Surren watched this devastating scene quietly, laughed and said, "Zeus, the 'great' king of gods Zeus, I know what I want to do!"

Jade can be broken but its whiteness cannot be changed; bamboo can be burned but its knots cannot be destroyed.

Facing the highest god king, Suren declared loudly: "Zeus, listen carefully, what I am going to do——"

"I want this incomparably beautiful Age of the Gods to no longer be a paradise that belongs exclusively to the gods!"

"The gods guide the direction of human progress, and humans constrain the lives regulated by the gods!"

“I want to write new rules and establish a new order, in which human beings are no longer toys that can be taken away by gods like puppets.”

"We are human beings! We are the ones who should stand up."

Surlun's eyes were like lightning, with an unwavering stubbornness and determination in them: "Zeus, if you are afraid of my will, destroy me again!"

Suren was not afraid of Zeus's thunder, and he was not even afraid of death.

The so-called dream is something that can be shouted out loud at any time, no matter whether you are facing a mortal or a god.

"...Interesting mortal."

Above the sky, there was a roar like thousands of thunders: "God's favor has made you lose yourself. I wonder how many mortals like you will be burned to ashes under the thunder!"

"But I, Zeus, the king of gods, the great father god of Olympus, am a loving god."

Zeus laughed and said, "Let the gods decide your future, interesting mortal. In the end, you will understand that everything is meaningless in front of the ultimate answer of the gods."

"Zeus, I don't believe that God is the ultimate answer."

"What's more, you narrow-minded God King, I am different from you. I don't reject God. I even admire God very much."

Suerlun's eyes were gleaming with a light that made people feel ashamed: "What I want to establish is not a kingdom of man, nor a kingdom of God..."

"Rather, it is the golden era of peace between humans and gods!"

This is the Age of Gods, the most prosperous and affluent Age of the Greek Gods. Here, people don’t need to worry about any resources, not even death.

Everyone can live until they don't want to live anymore. There is no limit to lifespan. Only the death of the heart and the death of destiny are real death.

Suerlun does not reject gods. This is the era of gods created and guided by gods.

But he also believed that this world, whether it was gods or humans, needed order and rules...

One, rules and order that makes Surren feel comfortable.

He really wanted to be an ordinary person, and he still thinks so now.

But he did not want to be just an ordinary person who lived and worked in peace and contentment. He wanted to ensure that all the people who were fortunate enough to live in this prosperous Age of Gods would be qualified to live and work in peace and contentment.

At some point, Zeus's thunder disappeared. If it were according to Zeus' previous style, this place would have been completely destroyed.

But to Cadmus's surprise, even though Suren had made such a bold and rebellious statement against the gods, Zeus let him go...

This was something Cadmus couldn't figure out no matter what.
