Saint Seiya: My Years as Poseidon

"Except for the position of the Queen of Hades, there are only six remaining honorable positions! With so many of you, it's hard for me to arrange them!"

Zeus spoke, and the gods remained silent.

Of course, he did not lie. Excluding the five confirmed thrones and the vacant throne of the Queen of the Underworld, there were still a large number of main gods present!

Apollo, the god of light, Artemis, the goddess of the moon, Abel, the god of the sun, Athena, the goddess of war, Ares, Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, Persephone, the goddess of fertility, Hestia, the goddess of the hearth, Hephaestus, the god of craftsmen, Hermes, the god of animal husbandry, Dionysus, the god of wine, and Rimuru, the god of ice!

Although the last one is the son of Poseidon, he is the main god after all and a member of the Olympian gods. He is fully qualified to run for the twelve main gods!

Of course, when there are more people than porridge, Zeus will definitely give priority to his son, there is no doubt about that!

"Father God, you promised yourself, you can't break your word!"

Apollo spoke again, and a strange look flashed in Zeus' eyes, but he still nodded.

"Alright! Apollo, Artemis, you two each get a place of honor!"

"Zeus, I am the Queen of Heaven, how could you ignore me and your children!"

As soon as Hera spoke, Zeus looked at Ares and Hephaestus and nodded again.

"Then, Ares and Hephaestus, you two will each get a position of honor!"

Zeus said, Ares and Hephaestus also looked happy.

Let’s not talk about Ares. He has a good mother and he is also a middle-level main god. It would be unreasonable not to give him the gift.

Although Hephaestus had conflicts with Hera, he was the child of Zeus and Hera after all, and Zeus still needed his help to make the divine clothes. It would be unreasonable not to give him a noble position!

What, you mean the Cyclops?

Sorry, just like how Kronos broke his promise to the giants, Zeus also played tricks on the giants imprisoned in Tartarus.

It’s not that Zeus didn’t set them free back then. In fact, after those Cyclops helped him create the divine clothes and godslaying weapons of Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades, Zeus did let them go and let them live happily on earth for thousands of years.

But like Kronos, Zeus was concerned about them themselves.

Therefore, during those thousands of years, Zeus captured the giants one by one and brought them back to Tartarus on various false charges.

By now, Zeus had completely fallen out with the Cyclops.

It is now impossible to ask them to help create the artifact.

Therefore, when it comes to forging the divine robes of the twelve gods, he can only rely on Hephaestus.

There's nothing we can do about it, after all he is a craftsman!

"In this case, there are only the last two honorable positions left!"

Zeus spoke, looking at the remaining gods with a troubled look on his face.

If this is not handled properly, it will offend many gods!

"Father God, you can't be partial to one and ignore the other! However, if you really feel embarrassed, Athena and I can also give up the honorable position of the Twelve Gods, but you must give the authority of the earth to us brothers and sisters as compensation!"

As soon as Abel said this, the gods' expressions changed slightly.

Zeus frowned and said directly: "No, this won't work. The earth is shared by all the gods. I can't give you the authority over the earth!"

Zeus was still very wary of Abel, the fourth king of gods.

For him, giving up the power over the earth was no less than nurturing an enemy to protect himself.

Although the system of twelve main gods was established and Zeus's position was consolidated to a considerable extent, he was very clear that these main gods might not agree with him.

If the earthly realm, one of the four realms, is given to Abel, then Abel will have the potential to become a separate lineage of his own.

By then, he could completely create his own power on earth and compete with Zeus's heaven.

Therefore, no matter who Zeus gave the power of the earth to, it would never be possible for him to give it to Abel, because the risk was too great!

"In that case, then Father God, Athena and I also want the honorable position of the Twelve Gods!"

Abel said, and Demeter also spoke hurriedly.

"Zeus, Persephone and I must get at least one of the remaining two honorable seats!"

"this……"

Zeus was in trouble again and didn't know what to do.

Seeing this, Hestia immediately smiled and said, "I won't fight for the remaining two honorable seats. You can do whatever you want!"

"Father God, I am just a messenger, and I don't want to occupy this position!"

"It's the same for me, Father God. I just make wine. It doesn't make much sense for me to have divine clothes and decision-making power!"

Hermes and Dionysus spoke one after another, which made Zeus look a little better.

Not to mention Hestia, although Zeus respects her very much, he doesn't take her too seriously.

After all, Hestia is just of a higher generation. Apart from that, she has no one to rely on in the heaven. She can just be a mediocre god and keep safe under the rule of the Olympian gods.

Hermes and Dionysus are the main gods enshrined by Zeus.

Although he is only a lower-ranking god, he is also one of his real team members and a lackey of Zeus.

Now, Zeus is very pleased that these two lackey sons are so sensible.

At that moment, Zeus looked at Demeter, Persephone, and Abel and Athena, and said, "There are two remaining seats. How about you take one on each side?"

“We’re fine!”

"no!"

Demeter agreed. This was what she had hoped for, so she naturally would not refuse.

Unfortunately, Abel disagreed and said, "Father God, don't forget that you were able to defeat Kronos and establish the Olympian Goddess with the help of the Mother Goddess! Now, are you going to treat your children and the Mother Goddess like this?"

“Ah, this…”

Zeus's expression changed, and the other gods were speechless.

Even Hera didn't dare to interrupt at this moment.

Because what Abel said was right, their Olympian gods were able to rule the entire universe, and it was no exaggeration to say that Metis deserved the credit!

At this moment, the son and daughter of Metis each wanted a position as the main god. This was completely reasonable and not excessive at all.

"Zeus..."

Seeing that all the gods were silent at this moment, Demeter and Persephone became a little anxious.

Zeus looked at the mother and daughter, and couldn't help showing an apologetic expression on his face. Then he looked at Abel and Athena and said, "In that case, the remaining two honorable seats will be given to Abel and Athena!"

"Zeus, how could you do this? Are you worthy of me and Persephone?"

Demeter roared, her eyes red.

In response, Hades laughed and said, "Isn't there another honorable position... Persephone, as long as you marry me and become the Queen of the Underworld, you will naturally be one of the Twelve Gods!"
