Saint Seiya: My Years as Poseidon

"Okay Zeus, let's not talk about this anymore, just tell me why you're here!"

"Then I'll be frank, Poseidon! In today's world, human development has reached a certain scale and number. Although the level of civilization is far from that of Atlantis, it has also been initially constructed! I have already talked to Prometheus. In order to establish the prestige of the gods and to make humans fear the gods, a grand ceremony of worshipping the gods will be held in Komene in three years! At that time, humans will dedicate their most precious property to the gods!"

Zeus said, and Poseidon was slightly stunned and said, "Isn't this a good thing?"

"This is of course a good thing, but Prometheus also made some demands! If humans on earth want to develop and have more and better property, then the earth must be prosperous enough! So..."

"I see, so you need the protection of Demeter and Persephone?"

Poseidon soon understood the reason. Ever since the Typhon Rebellion, when Demeter and Persephone came to Atlantis to avoid disaster, he has remained in the sea and never set foot on earth again.

Even if they did not go to the earth, the earth would develop due to the laws of the two goddesses, with spring ploughing and autumn harvest, but the effect would never be as good as if they did it themselves.

After all, both Demeter and Persephone have the law of the earth's fertility.

Without the presence of the Goddess of Fertility, even if the land on earth can be planted and harvested, the results will certainly not be very good.

On the contrary, in Poseidon's Atlantis, the agricultural development of the entire sea world is terrifying because of the arrival of two goddesses of fertility.

Not to mention other things, the fields in Atlantis can produce 30 harvests in a season, which is almost as effective as a certain penguin farm. Even sows are not so productive!

Therefore, even though there are only a few million silver humans in Atlantis now, the food harvested from agriculture alone is enough to feed hundreds of millions of people.

When the bronze humans on the ground were just beginning to develop, the sea realm even contributed tens of millions of tons of food rations to meet their food needs for several years.

It can be said that the development of bronze humans was enabled by the huge contribution of silver humans.

Of course, in a sense, the two sides share the same origin, and the Silver Humans are willing to receive some food without any complaints.

There is no shortage of food anyway. If there is too much grain piled up in the granary, it will get moldy sooner or later. It is better to send it out!

"Well, Poseidon, you know that I had a falling out with Demeter and Persephone, right? So..."

Zeus was a little embarrassed, and Poseidon looked at him speechlessly, saying, "You need to change your nature of always using people to your advantage and never using them to your advantage!"

"This, definitely..."

"Come on, your reputation is untrustworthy no matter how you look at it! But... the humans on earth can't just sit back and watch!"

Poseidon murmured, and immediately notified Demeter and Persephone through telepathy.

The next second, the two goddesses appeared in the Temple of Poseidon in high spirits.

But when the mother and daughter saw Zeus, their faces turned cold and their smiles disappeared instantly.

"Poseidon, what is the matter that brought you here?"

Demeter asked, and the man simply ignored Zeus.

Zeus didn't say much about this. He knew he was in the wrong with both mother and daughter.

What's more, he is the one who needs help now, so it's not good to make things too awkward.

"Demeter, Persephone, I came to you this time because of the problem of the earth. As you know, not only the sea world, but also the earth world has developed to a certain extent. Their lives are inseparable from the protection of you two earth mothers. Of course, please don't get me wrong, I don't want to drive you away. On the contrary, it is an honor for me, Poseidon, and my subjects that you two can settle in Atlantis. Zeus came this time because in three years, humans will offer sacrifices to our Olympian gods. Without your help, the humans on earth may not be able to offer any decent tribute! In a sense, this is also related to the face of our gods. I wonder, what do you think?"

Poseidon's words were very polite and full of respect for Demeter and Persephone. There was no intention of coercion at all.

This also made Demeter and Persephone look much better.

In themselves, they have a good impression of Poseidon.

After settling in the Sea Realm, because of their identities as goddesses of fertility, they were greatly recognized and respected by the silver humans and the gods of the Sea Realm, a treatment that even the gods of the Heaven Realm had never given them.

Therefore, in this sea world, both Demeter and Persephone lived very comfortably.

Since the two goddesses are in a good mood, the land production in the sea realm will naturally not be bad.

As agriculture in the sea realm developed, the silver humans naturally revered the two goddesses even more, which directly formed a virtuous circle.

For this purpose, the silver humans of Atlantis even built temples for the two goddesses to show their faith.

It can be said that in today's sea world, people's belief in Demeter and Persephone is second only to Poseidon, the King of the Sea, and Aphrodite, the Queen of the Sea.

Other sea gods, including Amphitrite, Rimuru and others, are probably not comparable to him.

It can be seen how popular the two goddesses are in Atlantis.

"Poseidon, I understand what you mean... Zeus, I can agree to your request, but I have one condition!"

As soon as Demeter finished speaking, she looked at Zeus with a sneer on her face.

"You say, Demeter, as long as it's not too much, I will consider it!"

"Don't worry, my conditions are not high. It's just that when humans offer sacrifices to our gods, Persephone and I must have the priority to choose the tribute!"

"this……"

Zeus's expression changed, and for a moment he didn't dare to agree.

As Demeter said, Demeter's condition was not excessive in a strict sense.

After all, he had asked the mother and daughter to "come out of the mountains" with the intention of helping humans on earth to develop better so that they could prepare better tributes.

In this way, it is reasonable for Demeter to want the power to choose tribute first.

But this is not just Zeus's business, but the business of the twelve Olympian gods.

His original intention in creating the system of twelve main gods was to disperse power and allow other powerful main gods to profit together so as to protect his position as the king of gods.

If Zeus agreed to Demeter's request without the permission of the other twelve gods, wouldn't that mean that he, Zeus, had overstepped his authority and allowed Demeter and Persephone to climb above the twelve gods? If this wasn't handled properly, it would offend the other gods!
