Type-Moon, a human love simulator.

Chapter 113 It has always been like this, it has always been like this

Cadmus couldn't figure it out, but it was not difficult for Suren to understand it.

In other words, it was through his contact with the gods that he gradually understood the differences between gods and humans.

Because of 'being offended'——

This is nothing more than people's superficial understanding of the world. The king of mankind considers it an unforgivable act of rebellion that must be killed.

But in God's eyes, it is just that.

God doesn't care.

And there were deeper reasons that Surlen didn't know.

Because God has everything, what God desires is only the unknown.

Suren displayed a unique unknown in this era, a different set of behavioral patterns that even Zeus' wisdom could not deduce.

How could this make Zeus, the deus ex machina, angry? He was more surprised than angry.

As gods who lost their bodies and were re-incarnated because of human faith, the Twelve Olympian Gods no longer possess the absolute calmness and absolute rationality of the mechanical gods, but there is still a gap in their emotions from those of true intellectual life forms.

As the king of gods who protects and guides mankind, Zeus is more eager to guide mankind. However, with his unparalleled wisdom, he clearly understands that the Age of Gods will end.

Such human beings have no future.

But today, Surren shows different possibilities.

Therefore, Zeus did not choose to take action. He shared the matter with the twelve gods, but did not specify any punishment for Suren.

Just wait for the situation to develop further.

"I have to say that Lady Hera is a qualified boss."

Watching the thunder in the sky dissipate, Suren turned around and said to Cadmus with a smile: "It's worth it for me to help Master Hera."

That's right. Zeus didn't even send down a huge thunder. He was ready to have a fight with Zeus, and at worst he was ready to break through the underworld and fight for the resurrection.

In the Age of Gods, no living thing had the concept of "death". When people died, they went to the underworld, and they could go there even while they were still alive. As long as you could break through the underworld, you could be resurrected.

Winning the resurrection match is not a difficult task. How can a guy who can't do this be called a great Greek hero?
But Zeus did not use a great thunder to blow him to pieces. Even if he didn't care about being offended, did Zeus fail to maintain his dignity as the king of gods?
In Surlun's opinion, this might be Hera's credit.

"...Sir, please don't say anything." Cadmus didn't know what Suren meant, but since Suren dared to speak, he didn't dare to listen.

He was afraid of death. He was afraid of this era and the gods who dominated everything.

"I've done your job for you, but you have your own adventures to go to. It's time for you to go where you belong."

Suren nodded, prepared enough food for Cadmus, and sent him out of the dangerous Forest of the Age of Gods. Then he picked up the Golden Sky and prepared to accept Hera's revelation and complete this adventure in search of true love.

"Lady Hera, the Mistress of the Sky, please guide me in the direction of my adventure."

Surren once again worshipped several goddesses...

Don't blame him for offering sacrifices to the gods again and again, and he doesn't mind the trouble. In this era, having a good relationship with the goddesses is definitely the key to being a happy and fulfilling winner in life.

On the contrary, if you offend the goddesses, then everything will go wrong and people will make things difficult for you everywhere.

Suren didn't know where Zeus carried Europa, but he thought it was probably between the Aegean Sea and the Mediterranean Sea.

The legend of Europa was very widespread, and Suren had also heard of it.

Suren had no impatience with this adventure whose revelations and guidance were vague. He set out from the city-state of Athens, heading south and east, passing through many city-states and even tribes along the way.

Just as he was about to leave the Greek land and enter the sea, Suren met the first 'hero'.

A great Greek hero.

Surlun was going to cross the sea and needed to prepare a boat. Although he had the Golden Supreme Sky, as it was an adventure rather than a journey, Surlun did not use this golden bow.

Isn’t it a very interesting life experience to buy a small boat and drift on the sea?

But at this moment, Suerlun met a hero.

Peleus.

The grandson of the great father god Zeus and a renowned demigod hero.

As one of the demigods whose name shines through in Greece, Peleus is powerful, has the integrity of a Greek hero, and pursues honor above life.

The city-state that Surlun passed by believed in Artemis, the goddess of the moon and hunting. Not long ago, this city-state was invaded by monsters, and a large number of citizens were killed while fighting against the monsters.

Therefore, Artemis guided the demigod hero Peleus to fight the monster, and Peleus successfully defeated the monster and drove it away.

Things have come to this point, which is actually normal. If it were just this, Suerlun would not care.

but--

The king of the city-state pointed to the farmland and villages in the distance and said to Peleus: "Peleus, the grandson of Zeus, the son of Aeacus, the great hero, we are grateful for everything you have done for this city-state."

"In the name of the king, I have given you the wealth there. You can take it yourself."

Peleus rushed into the village with a big laugh. He held the most beautiful woman in his arms, not caring about her family and fiancé. He said to the village chief, "I helped you drive away the monsters that ravaged you. As a reward..."

"Hand over all your wealth!"

Some people are unwilling to do so. What is the difference between Peleus's behavior and that of Warcraft?

The king of the city-state casually gave all the villages in this area as gifts to thank Peleus, but did he ask these people about their wishes?
After saying this, Peleus was about to tear the woman's clothes. As a hero, he did not regard ordinary Greeks as human beings. After all, they were just a group of ants.

It is an honor for her to keep the blood of the demigod in her body.

Perhaps, no one cares about this forced woman, no one cares that she already has a lover, and no one cares about this village that is taken away at will and has no idea of ​​resisting.

Because this is the Greek heroes. When you ask for their help, you have already agreed to their request.

But, Suren cares.

Peleus walked out of the collapsed building with an embarrassed look. Surren's powerful kick almost kicked his divine blood away. He endured the severe pain of vomiting blood and shouted, "Who are you?"

Such a powerful attack must be carried out by a hero.

As the grandson of the great father god Zeus, the concentration of divinity in Peleus' body is extremely high. Ordinary magic and physical attacks are simply unable to break his skin full of divinity.

"I am Suerlun, an ordinary person."

Surlun took the Golden Supreme Sky from his back with a cold expression. People who knew him knew that he was already in a state of rage.

Even the previous declaration to Zeus had never made Suren so angry.

He was not only angry at what Peleus had done, but also at the spirit of the times.

Why can these people bravely resist Warcraft, but take whatever they want from the so-called heroes?

Why?

"I have received the oracle from Artemis, the goddess of the moon and hunting, the mistress of the wilderness, and have come to rescue Peleus from this city!"

Peleus shouted angrily: "I ask you again, who are you?"

"..."

Suren remained silent. How could he not know all this?

People dare to resist Warcraft because Warcraft is just Warcraft.

People dare not resist heroes because those adventures of heroes are all guided by gods!

While Suren was silent, Peleus noticed something.

"?!"

Peleus's blood boiled when he was kicked by Surlun before, and he couldn't tell the truth. But now, he focused his divinity in his eyes and naturally saw the blessings of many goddesses on Surlun.

That incomparably bright and dazzling blessing.

"…I am sorry, sir, I have offended you."

Peleus slid to his knees at lightning speed, not because Suron's kick subdued him, but because as a Greek, a descendant of God, he feared God more than anyone else.

There was a flattering look on Peleus' face. He was tall, much taller than Surlun who was 1.85 meters tall, but he tried his best to shrink his huge body which was more than two meters tall.

Suerlun even wondered, if he was only 1.6 meters tall, how small would this giant man who was over 2 meters tall have to shrink to be shorter than him?
"Sir?" Peleus called tentatively, and Suren put the bow back on his back because there was no point in doing so.

Suren asked: "Are you the hero guided by Lady Artemis?"

"Yes, the people here are offering sacrifices to Lady Artemis because of the Warcraft Rebellion. I came here because of the revelation from the gods."

Peleus answered respectfully, and Suren waved his hand. He said, "Then it's none of your business. I want to offer sacrifice to Lady Artemis."

But before he could perform the sacrifice, a familiar voice came to Suerlun's ears.

"Su, Suerlun...my...believer."

A familiar female voice with suppressed anger: "Did this person anger you? If so, I will turn him into a deer and throw him into the wilderness to fend for himself!"

Become a deer.

This is the miracle of Artemis.

Without the female voice stating her identity, Suren already knew that the person speaking in his ear must be Artemis, the goddess of the moon and hunting.

According to legend, Actaeon, the grandson of Cadmus, was an excellent hunter. During one hunting trip, he mistakenly entered the bathing place of Artemis and was turned into a stag by the angry goddess. He was then killed by the fifty hunting dogs he brought with him.

The goddess, offended and seen naked by the mortal, simply turned the man into a deer, but when Suren became angry, Artemis wanted to turn Peleus into a deer as well.

As long as it's you, I'm willing to help.

"..."

Shouldn't Suren feel honored to hear the goddess's voice that revealed her anger?

This shows that the goddess holds him in her heart, but...

At this moment, the only feelings that filled Suerlun's heart were bitterness and helplessness.

He felt helpless about this Greece and bitter about the gods who ruled Greece.

Suren waved his hand and let Peleus leave. Even the gods didn't think there was anything wrong with Peleus. What was the point of killing Peleus here?

Artemis was willing to punish Peleus, not for his evil deeds, but for having angered Suren.

Suren understood this, so he rejected the goddess's "kindness".

Suren handed the half-dressed woman the linen he had brought with him and said, "You are safe now. Go back to your lover."

The woman was dazzled by Surren's handsomeness, but she soon realized that such a hero was not something she could think of, and she quickly returned to her lover.

But unexpectedly, her lover was not happy, and even a little embarrassed.

No, not only him, everyone was like this, all looking at Suerlun, but there was no joy of having escaped disaster in their expressions, only worry that was hesitant to speak and hidden dissatisfaction that they dared not say out loud.

dissatisfied……

At this time, the oldest man in the village came out. He looked at Suerlun, sighed and said, "Good man, I believe you really have a kind heart."

"But you shouldn't have done this. You shouldn't have driven Lord Peleus away."

"..."

Surren remained silent. Perhaps because he was a truly good man, those who did not dare to speak in front of Peleus spoke up in front of him. "Although that hero took away our wealth, he did save us from the ravages of the monsters..."

"But what is the difference between what they do and what the monsters do?" Suerlun asked in return: "Is it because they are guided by the gods?"

"As long as we meet the heroes' demands, the heroes won't kill us."

The villagers replied: "As for the heroes' needs, we can only try our best to meet them..."

"You drove Peleus away this time. Who will save us when the monster comes back next time?"

"Good people, powerful heroes, has this world always been like this?"

It has always been like this, it has always been like this...

At this moment, Suren finally understood.

There's nothing wrong with Peleus, and there's nothing wrong with these villagers.

But there is something wrong with the world.

If the previous declaration to Zeus was just a counterattack against the willful gods, now seeing this distorted Age of Gods, Suren finally understood.

This world needs him to reorganize it. Even if it is just to make himself live more comfortably and stop seeing these dirty things, he has to establish a new covenant between man and God!

The strong dominate the weak; this seems to be an unchanging truth.

This is the relationship between gods and humans, and also the relationship between heroes and mortals.

But if Surlun becomes the strongest, can the strong and the weak live together in this beautiful Greece of the Age of Gods?

“This era is so beautiful, it just has some flaws.”

Suerlun said to himself: "I need to carve this world carefully."

"You don't understand me because you have never stood up..."

Suren turned and left, he knew what he should do.

And now, he was going to do it.
-
Above the sky, Artemis is not the only god who pays attention to Surun.

He himself might not know that after he confronted Zeus and issued a declaration to bind the gods, he had become the top star in Greece.

Sometimes, the gods are just so idle.

They have nothing to do, they live long, and they have everything they want.

Therefore, after the appearance of Suren, who was incompatible with the Greeks, the gods showed great interest.

They stood on the clouds, watching Surren's adventures and never getting tired of it.

There were even gods who placed bets on whether Surren would accept Europa, the 'true love' that Hera had prepared for him.

But the sudden situation now surprised the gods, but they also felt that the trip was worthwhile. There were really many unexpected things about Suerlun, and the gods liked surprises.

Athena looked at Suren quietly. She knew that Artemis had secretly met Suren, but she did nothing.

Because she was also confused.

Yes, the Greek goddess of wisdom, now feels puzzled about Suren.

Why did he show such intense aversion to Peleus?
Peleus did not offend him, nor did he infringe on Suren's honor, nor did he harm his ability. Why was Suren so angry that he directly picked up the golden sky that symbolized all of Athena's blessings?
Surren had sworn to Athena that he would never use this bow lightly and would regard it as a goddess...

Even with Hera's guidance, Suren had no intention of controlling the golden bow and flying quickly.

But now, facing a mere Peleus, Suren actually raised his bow directly. If Peleus had not slid to his knees quickly enough, he would have gone to the underworld to play the resurrection match.

Because of this doubt, Athena did not show up as easily as Artemis.

As the goddess of wisdom, she felt doubts and confusion for the first time.

Just as she didn't know why Suren declared war on Zeus for Cadmus yesterday, Athena also didn't know why Suren was so angry for some ordinary people today.

But unlike Artemis, as the goddess of wisdom, Athena is not so stupid as to show her inclinations without understanding the situation.

She decided to talk to Suren about what all this was about.

Suren, why are you so angry? -
The gods were discussing Surlun's abnormal anger. They didn't know why Surlun was angry. Even the devilish king, the perverted sea king Poseidon, slammed his palm and said, "Surlun must have also taken a fancy to that woman. He wants to have her all to himself!"

The gods did not agree with this mode of thinking with the lower body, and subsequent developments also proved that Suren was not competing with Peleus for a woman.

No god thought that there was anything wrong for a hero to take whatever he wanted from the city-state after completing his adventure and helping it resolve the crisis.

This is the reason why Suerlun was angry and helpless.

In this regard, the king of gods, who ruled over all of Greece and sat high on the top of the sacred Mount Olympus, just watched it all calmly.

Zeus is the strongest, most powerful, and wisest of the gods.

No god could guess what Zeus was thinking, and no one knew why he did not punish Suren.

Even Apollo privately paid attention to Zeus's little words -

Maybe Zeus has taken a fancy to Suren!
The gods did not understand Zeus, and now they do not understand Suren.

The king of the gods said nothing, as silent as the high sky.

O Surren, the rebellious man who attempted to bring the gods under his own laws...

Look -

This is the world you have to face.

Do you still have that ridiculous idea now?

Do you still stick to your own ideas now?
You've seen it all, haven't you?

you--

Do you have the will to pursue your own ideas even if no one can understand you?
-
Surren continued to move forward, putting the previous incident behind him.

He knew that this kind of thing would not happen just once. When you found a cockroach, it meant that the place was full of cockroaches.

Suerlun is a kind man, but he will not be affected by these sorrows and miseries. He keeps everything in his heart instead of showing it on his face.

Next, just continue living your life as you should and do what you should do when you should.

However, one thing must be known: Suerlun will never let any event or change his mind or change his original intention.

No one can stop him from doing what he wants to do!
As long as he encounters it, he will take care of it, but for those who are far away and cannot be seen or controlled, Suerlun can only say that he is powerless and wait for the future.

He steered his small boat across the vast ocean. In fact, Suren had violated a taboo as he went out to sea without offering sacrifices to Poseidon, the god of the sea.

According to Poseidon's strange rules, he should have caused a huge storm to swallow Suren's ship and washed him all the way to an uninhabited island until this guy learned to respect the gods.

But now, Poseidon did nothing, even...

Surren looked at the big fish that had committed suicide by jumping out of the water, scratched his head, put his hands together and said in gratitude: "Thank you nature... Bah, thank you Lord Poseidon for the gift."

Ocean, suicidal fish.

No need to think about it, it must be the will of Poseidon.

The next moment, more fish jumped out of the sea, fell onto the boat, and soon died on their own without Suren having to do anything.

"That's enough, thank you for your kindness, but I really can't eat so much!"

Suren quickly thanked Poseidon for the gift, otherwise it would have been drowned in the sea of ​​fish.

The next moment, Yu Yue's suicide attempt was finally over, and Suer Lun was puzzled by it.

Why was Poseidon so friendly to him?
The death of Atalanta's race and Poseidon's great-grandson was the reason why Suren ruined his despicable plan.

But now, Poseidon was so kind to him.

Unable to figure it out, the carefree Suer Lun simply stopped thinking about it. Those gods were very willful. It was not uncommon for them to show favor one moment and turn their backs on him the next.
Who knows how they saw him?
Suren again asked Hestia, the goddess of the sacred fire.

If he wanted to have a hot meal, he needed to make a fire. However, in this vast ocean, the only combustible thing was his own boat. If he burned the boat just to have a hot meal, would he have to swim away?
Therefore, in this situation we can only seek help from God. Hestia's sacred fire is the power of God, so it is not impossible to start a fire in the void!

The flames of illusion and reality burned slowly in front of Surren, proving that Hestia was still watching him.

After solving the food problem, Suren worshipped several goddesses again, but the offering to Athena remained unchanged.

Suerlun was puzzled, and before he could say anything else, the next moment, the glory of victory filled the small boat.

Athena, the goddess of wisdom, war, and victory, arrives in her true form.

Athena smiled and took the grilled fish that Suren offered to her. The god enjoyed all the offerings from the highest level of the entire Age of Gods. Logically speaking, all the material enjoyments would not make Athena feel excited.

But at this moment, the absolutely beautiful goddess picked up the grilled fish that was not delicately made, opened her most beautiful lips among all goddesses, bit the fish meat with her white pearly teeth, and nodded, "Suerlun, it's delicious!"

"However, your cooking skills still need to be improved. Why don't you let me grill a fish for you?"

Looking at the sweet-smiling Athena, Suren suddenly understood why in the Theogony and many Greek classics, apart from the description of Athena's power, all the other things were praising the goddess' beauty.

Athena is the goddess of handicrafts, and she knows all the techniques related to handicrafts.

With Athena's exquisite craftsmanship, the delicious food she made lived up to the sacred fire provided by Hestia.

Hestia provided the fire, Poseidon provided the ingredients, and Athena prepared the meal herself.

In all of Greece, only Suron had such an honor.

Even with this one achievement alone, why should he compete with the Greek heroes for so-called honor?
The highest achievement has been achieved.

Surlun ate the fish with big mouthfuls, praising the goddess's cooking, without any of the restraints of a mortal.

He had previously worshipped the gods according to the Greek sacrificial rituals, kneeling when he should kneel and worshipping when he should worship. He did not consider kneeling or worshipping as something shameful at all. Suerlun was just following the local customs.

It is only his body that kneels before the gods, not his mind.

Athena held her chin with one hand, her beautiful eyes flickering as she suddenly said, "Sullun, from now on when you worship me, you don't have to worship me, you just need to call my name."

"...Don't ask why, beautiful Surren, this is the only privilege Athena grants you."

"..."

Surlun raised his eyebrows and didn't say much. Since Athena had promised it personally, he had to obey.

After eating and drinking, Suren leaned against the bow, basking in the sun comfortably, letting the boat drift freely. He knew that in this age with gods, all guidance would obey the will of gods.

Hera told him to go find Europa, and then the ship would find Europa's island by itself.

You are already a mature boat, it’s time to find the direction of adventure for me!
Athena followed his example and leaned against the stern, squinting her eyes and said, "Sullen, aren't you curious about why I appeared in front of you in person?"

Suer Lun said lazily: "I'm curious, Athena, you will definitely tell me anyway, so I won't ask!"

"You, you!" Athena said fondly, "It seems that the gods have really spoiled you."

"But I forgive you."

After all, I am willing to pamper you, noble hero.

For the first time, Athena looked at Surren differently not because of his beauty, but because of his character and soul.

Although the beautiful face of God is rare in the world, it is only superficial beauty.

But a noble soul, a strong will, and a firm determination are what even the king of gods is curious about.
