Type-Moon, a human love simulator.

Chapter 129 My power as chief designer is unlimited

Although he was nervous inside, Suerlun was Suerlun after all. Whether he had something serious to do was a test of his true character.

In this terrifying and horrible situation where even the King of Gods had to retreat, Suerlun's wisdom sparked and he instantly thought of a way to break the impasse.

"I won't give it to anyone, because there is only one golden apple. Giving it to anyone will cause an unimaginable conflict."

Surlun chose to start from the overall situation. He looked at the gods and said firmly: "If anyone brings the golden apple of dispute to this grand banquet where the gods gather together, and attempts to destroy the music of the gods' harmony, then he should be the first to defeat me, Surlun!"

The so-called kingly way is based on grandeur and magnanimity, with conspiracy and trickery as the main method. Whether it is grandeur or not depends on whether one has the courage to bear all the consequences at this time.

"I will either give this golden apple to all the gods who attend the banquet, or I will give none of them. As for the so-called 'most beautiful goddess', all goddesses are the most beautiful. Don't say such insulting words to my wisdom in front of me!"

Once again, the gods witnessed Suren submitting a perfect answer. He did not shirk responsibility or avoid the question. He clearly said in front of the gods that the golden apple of discord was his enemy.

He would not put such things that would destroy the relationship among the gods in front of everyone. Anyone who raised such a question would be an enemy of him, Suren.

Athena was stunned. Even she did not expect that Surlun could break through the situation so quickly. This was a conspiracy that even the goddess of wisdom thought had no solution and would even fall into a trap because of it. However, it was so easily dismantled in front of Surlun.

He focused on the disputes among the gods rather than the honor of the most beautiful goddess.

Surlun surpasses all the gods in the way he looks at things.

This kingly demeanor is truly the only hero, the great hero qualified to rule over men and gods.

As for Eris, the goddess of discord who caused all these disputes, she felt a trace of regret when she asked the question. If Suren gave the golden apple she had given him to other goddesses, wouldn't that mean that the only witness of friendship between the two of them would disappear?

But this trace of regret was soon drowned out by a large amount of discouragement and negative emotions. It was not until this time that his crazy brain was shocked by Surlun's majestic righteousness that it came back to its senses.

Eris finally realized what she had done. She felt ashamed, embarrassed, and embarrassed...

As a dejected goddess with no friends and almost no believers, she now just wants to return to her own sewer. A rat like her shouldn't yearn for the hero who is so glorious under the sun, right?
Making friends and all that seems like a dream. I really should go back to my own sewer and never come out again!
Eris turned around and tried to run away, but the gods thought she was running away because she was in trouble and was afraid of being beaten. In fact, if she was really beaten by Suren, she might not be so sad.

But Surren still called out to her: "Eris!"

"Um... I'm here?" Eris turned her head stiffly. She looked no different from before, but in fact, the thoughts in her head were a mess, so chaotic that she could drink it.

Suren wanted to take out the golden apple in his arms to show the gods the testimony of his friendship with Eris. After all, Suren believed that he was upright and had nothing to hide.

He did take the golden apple of Eris didn't he?
However, when his fingers touched the golden apple, he also touched the words written on the golden apple.

To my only true friend, Suren.

Suren could actually understand why Eris had tricked him just now. It was out of panic and jealousy about losing him as a friend, and it was not her original intention. But Eris had tricked him, and that was a fact and there was nothing to say.

If the golden apple with the words on it was taken out, the gods would probably treat Eris even worse after seeing it.

After all, you are so bad to your only close friend. Who else would be with you, a god like you?
After thinking for a moment, Surren did not take out the golden apple, but said, "Eris, I have not yet returned the gift you gave me."

Suerlun suddenly realized that he seemed to be penniless. The money in his hand was given by Ta Miao, the weapon was given by Athena, and the clothes were sewn by Artemis...

It seems that there is nothing that truly belongs to him?

So, he could only reluctantly pull out the extra-straight wooden stick that he had picked up from an uninhabited island when he was sailing on the Argo... no, it was the holy sword.

This holy sword is about one and a half meters long, and is straight without any edges. It only bulges out to both sides at the very end, twenty centimeters away, which serves as a natural hand guard.

Suren treasured this "holy sword" very much. At the beginning, Jason and Hercules both wanted it, but Suren didn't give them either.

Whenever he has nothing to do, Surlun holds the holy sword and all the weeds bow down wherever he passes!
As soon as he pulled out the holy sword, Surren couldn't help swinging it a few times before reluctantly giving it to Eris, saying, "This is my favorite holy sword. I'm giving it to you as a return gift to testify to our friendship!"

“…Uh, isn’t this just an ordinary wooden stick?”

Eris is not good at speaking, no wonder she has no friends.

If it was Athena, she would have cooperated with Surlun's performance and put away the holy sword solemnly. She might even have waved it a few times to let Surlun see that his holy sword was not wasted.

"What kind of stick is that!" said Surren. "It's the Holy Sword! I said the Holy Sword is the Holy Sword!"

"..."

Although she didn't understand Surlun very well, whatever he said was what it was. Eris went back with the stick in her pocket, looking confused.

There was no point in forcing her to stay here at this time. For Eris, it was better not to appear in front of so many gods.

Surren watched Eris leave and finally breathed a sigh of relief. This horrific conflict that affected all the gods was finally eliminated by him.

The gods did not notice Suren's movement towards his arms, but Athena saw it clearly. This introverted goddess took this action into her eyes but did not say anything.

A smart woman naturally knows when to take action and when to save a man's face.

Zeus appeared again. This old Deng might have enjoyed watching the show before, so he laughed like thunder when he appeared: "Sullen, thank you for your contribution to the gods and the possibilities you have brought."

"Greece of the Age of Gods, the rich Greece, since it can give birth to someone like you, can we gods expect that you can lead more humans to become like you?"

"You desire the golden era of peace. This is also what we gods desire."

Poseidon agreed: "Sullen, I, Poseidon, recognize you. You will restrain the gods, and the gods will discipline humans, so as to achieve the Golden Age."

Poseidon, the god of the sea, is not as powerful as Zeus and Hades, or even Athena, but he is one of the three kings of Olympus and the god who controls the sea.

According to legend, when Poseidon is angry, sea monsters will appear in the sea. When he waves his trident, he can easily stir up huge waves, causing storms and tsunamis to sink the continent, collapse the sky and the earth, smash all things to pieces, and even cause major earthquakes.

When he drove his chariot across the sea, the waves became calm and dolphins followed him.

This terrible power is the power of Poseidon.

And the character of Poseidon, in human perception, is not a kind and loving god, but a moody god who is feared by humans.

This is not what Poseidon intended, but he had to conform to the character of "Ocean".

The sea is so capricious. It may be sparkling and calm one second, and then it may be engulfed by huge waves in the next second.

As a machine god who was reborn, Poseidon did not initially have the lively intellect of the native gods. He could only act as much as possible in accordance with the "personality" of the ocean.

Over time, it became a routine.

Gods love humans, but humans mostly respond to gods with fear. They worship gods out of fear of punishment rather than out of a genuine desire for gods’ protection.

Poseidon wanted to change this situation a long time ago, so he was also one of the first gods to support Suren.

Without the support of the Sea King, how could the Argo sail across the oceans of the Age of Gods?
There are many gods like him. They are dissatisfied with the situation in the Age of Gods, but they do not have a solution and can only let the times continue to develop.

Surlun was the first to propose a solution. Some of the gods agreed, while others opposed. The opposition was not to changing this era, but to letting a "child" bear such a terrible burden.

These gods are stern and serious. They want to use the most terrible difficulties and obstacles to make Surlun give up this idea and not have to take this responsibility.

But Suerlun overcame all the difficulties one by one, and finally, his career was successful!

In the harmony of the gods gathered together, everyone was happy and agreed to Suren's plan. All his efforts were not in vain, and all the gods saw it.

The atmosphere in the field was extremely harmonious. After the dispute was resolved, even the most majestic god Zeus put aside his dignity and actively participated in the topic.

It was like everyone was chatting and laughing at a tea party. Not just the twelve main gods, but every god could speak freely, express their own ideas, their understanding of this age of gods, and what needed to be corrected.

Even Ares, the most cruel and violent man who still retained the instincts of a mecha god, rarely showed a gentle and peaceful smile.

Everyone sang and laughed, and finally reached unity.

Suerlun looked at all this, this was his great achievement.

The God King restrained his majesty.

The God of War withdrew his troops.

Pluto embraces life.

The Sea King, who is regarded as a natural disaster at sea, promises good weather, peace and tranquility.

The god of plague holds a pot of medicine that can cure any disease.

All the gods made a golden covenant at this moment.

I wish to work with Suren to create the greatest splendor of the Greek Age of Gods, the Golden Age of Peace.

This is the beautiful picture, this is what Suerlun has always dreamed of, a dreamlike wish.
-
Like an epic opera, the King of the Gods and the King of Gold looked at each other, and He spoke with a voice like a kind elder: "So, wise and brave Suren, what do you want to do for the suffering in this world?"

"What do you want to do for this golden age?"

"I don't know, but I'm doing it." Suerlun said seriously: "Do what I can do and do what I think is right."

"I have only put forward a good enough proposal. If I want to make it fuller and give it flesh and blood, it is not just something I need to do alone."

"Fortunately, I have a lot of time, so I can do it slowly."

As if recalling some unpleasant past, Suerlun smiled and said, "In the Age of Gods, there shouldn't be any crisis of world destruction that needs me to save Greece, right?"

It’s actually quite good not to be the savior of the world.

Helping those you see to the best of your ability and alleviating their suffering is actually more meaningful than empty talk of "saving the world".

This was the first time that Surlun showed his confusion. When he really needed to answer a question, he was not as sure as he had said before.

Despise it strategically and pay attention to it tactically.

It sounds simple when the proposal is put forward, but it is cautious when it comes to implementation.

People like Suren are true doers.

He thought that these words, which were not as firm as before, would lead to a rebuke from Zeus, but the great father god was like a father who was finally not strict anymore and touched Suren's head kindly.

"Yes, Suerlun, you are right. Don't be too hasty when doing things. As long as you always remember your original intention, then, my God King Zeus, I wish you will never feel confused!"
-
Athena sighed softly. The wind, frost, snow and rain along the way had now blossomed into a perfect flower. Athena was happy for Suren.

This is also the hero she has always been looking forward to, the hero she blesses, and the hero that moves the goddess.

Athena knew that she was moved, but she was not as "brave" as Artemis to express her love.

Because in the eyes of the goddess of wisdom, this is frivolous, uncertain, and dangerous.

You have to be 98% sure before the goddess of wisdom will make the move and fill in the last 2 points of probability.

Athena didn't know who Suerlun's true love would fall on, but she was very sure of one thing -

Before the golden era of peace was achieved, Suren would not accept the love of any goddess.

Because his heart is already filled with the world.

Therefore, Athena wanted to help her hero achieve his wish, completely let go of his concerns about this world, and let Surren turn his attention from the world to himself and pay attention to his personal life.

Only at that time would Suerlun fall in love, get married, have children like ordinary people, and live a peaceful yet extraordinary life.

Athena is the one who understands Suren!
However, even the graceful goddess of wisdom has her own little thoughts.

She suddenly said, "Our almighty father Zeus, if we want to achieve this golden era, all gods, like Surun, need to grope their way forward."

"But my wisdom tells me that we should have a god who can unify the power of all gods so that they can work together and develop together at critical moments."

"As the chief designer and arbitrator, this god guides and constrains the gods, so that the gods will no longer feel confused about this."

Zeus thought for a moment, nodded and said, "My beloved daughter Athena, you are right. You are worthy of being the goddess of wisdom of Olympus."

"So, what are the powers and obligations of this newly added god?" "..." Athena pursed her lips and said calmly, "The obligation is to supervise and reconcile the gods, and the same goes for power. As long as it does not endanger themselves and is within the scope of divine power, the gods must obey unconditionally."

After all, my power as chief designer is unlimited.

"Athena's suggestion is very good, but in this case, the new main god must take on the responsibility and preside over this great project."

Zeus looked at Athena and asked, "Athena, do you have anything else to add?"

"Of course." Athena nodded. "I actually have some vague ideas. We can try them one by one."

As she spoke, Athena began to talk incessantly about several drafts of her plan.

For example, building a huge wall to separate humans and gods, leaving humans as humans and gods as gods, creating an atheist Greece, allowing humans to develop freely, and only maintaining the most basic laws and order.

Or we could build a Skynet that surrounds the world to monitor all people and gods, and write a basic code on the Skynet. Any bad behavior that may exceed the basic code will be stopped.

After hearing this, Suerlun just wanted to sigh and say, "You are a bit too extreme."

It is either too free or too strict. The former will witness all the evil of mankind, while the latter will turn humans into thoughtless machines.

A bit of a diode.

However, Suren did not directly refute Athena. After all, this was just a vague idea like a draft, and it was not necessary to do it this way.

Moreover, Athena proposed her own idea of ​​building a golden age, which should always be encouraged. Mistakes can be corrected, but the goddess' enthusiasm cannot be discouraged.

Athena was very active, and as she spoke, she threw out lists one after another.

"Resources, manpower, drawings, plans, project budgets, and all aspects related to the plan..."

Athena said: "That's probably all. Which god is willing to donate himself?"

Yes, it is dedication.

The words Athena used are very interesting.

"..."

The gods were shocked. The tea party, which was originally full of laughter and joy, became as quiet as a classroom where the head teacher walked in.

All the gods lowered their heads, studying this place. What an earth! This mountain is really a mountain, but no one responded.

This is not surprising.

From the perspective of humans, such a new priesthood sounds low in rank, but in fact it is very powerful and can almost be said to be a deputy god king.

But gods are not human beings. They are not greedy for power and are much more responsible than humans.

The plan was a proposal unanimously agreed upon by the twelve Olympian gods, so even Zeus himself had to cooperate with the chief designer's implementation plan to a certain extent.

Therefore, the god in charge who is able to oversee the entire plan has unlimited power during this period, which is the power that can control Zeus as the king of gods to a certain extent.

If he could even command Zeus, there was no need to mention other gods.

Not only that, but you can also gain new priesthood and new powers...

These are all the benefits of being a chief designer.

But these so-called benefits, compared to responsibilities, still require the gods to reach the point of "sacrifice".

The gods all wanted to have fun, they really wanted to witness the great miracle of Surlun's dream of the coexistence of the Age of Gods and the Age of Humans, but that didn't mean the gods were willing to work like slaves.

I want to witness ≠ I am willing to do it!
Moreover, the gods love to play too much and have bad tempers. Even though everyone now agrees with the plan of the Great Golden Rule, if there is no one to restrain them, the gods' undisciplined nature will be free to play out, and the completion of this plan will be a long way off.

Even if it is finally completed, the final product may be far from the original.

How many people can Suerlun manage by himself? It is impossible without a god as a helper!

Therefore, a god is needed to act as an arbitrator to manage the various miscellaneous matters among the gods. Among the gods who act recklessly and play around, someone who needs to use his brain and arrange various tasks is needed to prevent everyone from getting out of control.

So, after the gods thought it through, they all agreed that this was a tough job and no one wanted to do it.

Zeus looked at the twelve gods, his eyes wandering.

"I won't do it. Don't look at me!" Apollo waved his hand and said, "If you need help, just come to me. I will definitely help you when I am free... Let's not talk about it anymore. My followers in Sparta asked me for a prophecy."

With that, Apollo was about to leave with Artemis, who looked confused and seemed to have participated but also didn't.

Apollo's departure seemed to be a signal, and the main gods prepared to find excuses to leave one after another.

"Um...my daughter wants to eat winter wheat, so I'm going to the underworld."

"You guys chat, I'm going to find the three Cyclops brothers to forge a divine weapon. If you need any tools, just come to me!"

"My mermaid wife is pregnant. See you later!"

"..."

"Come back to me!" Zeus' voice was flat, but there was a loud bang and a flash of thunder in the sky. The gods who had originally scattered like birds and beasts sat down at the table again.

Zeus tapped the arm of his chair and said, "Now, is there anyone willing to take on this responsibility and become the arbitrator of the gods?"

"...We all obey your orders, Almighty Father God Zeus!"

The gods spoke in unison, and the meaning was clear: too many debts are better than one's own, so why don't you, Zeus, take on both?

The two heavens and thirteen gods of Greece (referring to Hades and Dionysus) are all on your shoulders, Zeus. Now it is your turn to speak for the people of the world!
"No, I am Zeus, the king of gods, and I cannot be an arbitrator." Zeus put on a cold poker face, as cold and ruthless as if he had killed fish in the Aegean Sea for a thousand years, and full of the mechanical sense of the mecha god.

In fact, this was just Zeus's act, because attitude is a mask of the heart. Once he spoke with this attitude, the gods should have known that there was no room for negotiation.

Zeus would certainly not serve as an arbitrator. After all, he wanted to have fun, not become the fun himself.

The goddess of love and beauty, Aphrodite, suddenly said, "How about Athena take over?"

"Since this plan was proposed by you, Athena, you will be in charge!"

After hearing this, the gods' eyes lit up. Yes, aren't there ready-made cattle and horses (crossed out) that can be used to conscript young men?

Hehe~ Since it was you who proposed it, then you should do it yourself. Let’s continue playing music and dancing!
"I don't agree!" Athena slammed the table and said indignantly: "Aphrodite, why did you do this? You are making me suffer!"

Aphrodite crossed her arms and snorted, "What? Am I wrong? Goddess of wisdom Athena, the capable get the most work. You came up with the plan, and you are the one who executes it. Is that wrong?"

"Grand Arbitrator, don't refuse!" Aphrodite continued to attack: "Sullen is here, are you going to refuse in front of him?"

"Athena, you don't want Surren to know that you don't actually support him, right?"

No, buddy?
Why is there something about me? Isn't it time for the gods to discuss now?
The gods all added fuel to the fire, encouraging Zeus to appoint Athena as the chief arbitrator. Finally, Athena couldn't stand the pressure anymore, sighed, and compromised: "Okay, okay, I can be the chief arbitrator, but I have one condition!"

"..."

Hestia, who had been silent the whole time, sighed and said gently, "Athena, since you want to help Surlun, I will naturally support you, but..."

Hestia hesitated to speak, and under Athena's gaze, she finally said, "Forget it, Athena, you are the wisest goddess among us, you should just decide some things yourself."

"…Yes, 'Aunt' Hestia."

At this moment, Athena was convinced that Hestia, the taciturn goddess of social phobia, actually had a lot of hidden talents. Although she did not like socializing, she was the most perceptive and resourceful among the gods.

Even the almighty Zeus didn't notice anything wrong with Athena's chess game, but Hestia felt that something was wrong. Everything was wrong. How could Athena be the kind of god who would bring disaster upon herself?

Therefore, Hestia had been watching silently, but at this moment she hinted to Athena -

Although I know you have your own plans, I don't care. As long as you support Suerlun, I will help you.

"Hehe~" Zeus showed a meaningful smile, but unfortunately, among all the gods, only Hera could understand the deep meaning: "My beloved daughter Athena, tell me your request, and I will do my best to satisfy you."

"The gods will also try their best to satisfy you."

"Well then!" Athena said straightforwardly, "I want to have the power to control all the gods. No matter which god I need help from, they must help me unconditionally, and even Zeus cannot refuse."

"Also, if you do not understand my actions and orders, as long as it does not endanger your own safety, you are not allowed to refuse. I will not issue orders that will lead to certain death."

"You can't understand, that's because there's a gap in intelligence between you and me, and I hate idiots, so don't question me!"

Athena reluctantly made many harsh demands, but the gods thought that Athena wanted to force them to oppose her being the chief cowherd, so they immediately spoke out in agreement, saying, "I vote for Athena, she is the one everyone wants!"

"As you will!" Zeus nodded and promised, "Athena, as long as it is for the smooth implementation of the plan, you can ask any god for help, and the gods cannot refuse."

"Athena, from today on, you will have the priesthood of [Protector of Craftsmen], and you will be the new God of Craftsmen!"

Since even Zeus and Hestia, the only two gods who saw through the chess game, chose to cooperate, the rest of the gods were naturally much easier to deal with. Athena was almost unanimously approved and cheered by everyone to become the chief designer.

The dazed moon goddess Artemis frowned. She didn't know why, but she always felt a little uneasy. Some strong intuition made her not want Athena to take this position.

But when she thought about it carefully, she felt that it was nonsense. Anyway, she was not prepared to take on this priesthood.

Not to mention that she is a socially anxious person who lives alone and hates men. She doesn't want to have any contact with any male creature except Surlun. Even if you ask her to manage the gods, she doesn't have the talent to do so. It's good enough that she can manage herself.

"Hmm..." Artemis thought for a moment, "If Athena becomes the arbitrator and is in charge of managing the gods, doesn't that mean I can take this opportunity to ask Athena to help me get closer to Surren?"

"We are all good sisters. Athena will definitely not reject me!"

"Yes, Zeus!" The patron saint of cattle and horses (crossed out)... the newly minted god of craftsmen Athena said solemnly: "Everything is for the smooth implementation of the plan!"

"...Eh?" Zeus frowned. Seeing Athena like this, he was a little unsure of how big a plan Athena had been holding back. In order to prevent it from going too far, he thought for a moment and said, "Of course, there are limits. Everything is for the purpose of achieving the Golden Rule of Man and God."

"Yes, Zeus." Athena said more solemnly: "Everything is for the service of the gods!"

Looking at Athena with a glorious face, Artemis couldn't help but pursed her lips. The uneasiness in her heart became more and more intense. However, she thought about it carefully for a long time and couldn't figure out what was wrong.

Obviously...

She is obviously her best friend, Athena will definitely help her...right?
-
All good things must come to an end. No matter how grand and wonderful a tea party is, it will eventually come to an end.

After leaving Mount Olympus, Suren began to travel around Greece.

Athens, Sparta, Thebes...

And various other city-states and tribes.

Originally, Suren planned to travel for a year, but he ended his travel plan in Sparta and returned to Athens.

"Hmm? You want to unify all of Greece?" Athena was in a small hut in the temple, and only Suren had the honor to step in. Now the two of them were sitting opposite each other in this hut and talking.

"You want to unify all the city-states and change the laws of the world." Athena did not ask why Surren did this, but just asked: "Do you need my help?"

"The Greek Age of Gods is not only about restraining the gods, humans also need a perfect king to guide them."

Suren said: "Athena, you will help me with the divine part, and I will complete the human part."

"When that happens, my great wish will be fulfilled."

When Suren thought of the slaves who were everywhere in the land and whose number was fifty times greater than the number of citizens, he could no longer suppress his disgust towards human evil.

Sparta is indeed a city-state of barbarians.
