Chapter 2937: The Invasion on Olympus III
"Father, the monsters are already swarming beyond the foot of the mountain. Are you not going to deal with countermeasures?" The Goddess Athena asked the God King Zeus.
"There are always flies attracted by sweet fruit and honey. They will not be able to reach the foot of the mountain because the beings living there would trample them. I have also called upon all the champions that all the Olympian Gods have chosen. You should just watch if there would be rats that come inside the divine realm, my child." The God King Zeus stated which made the others look at him in disbelief.
The Champion of a god is someone they are close to and that they should not be utilized by other gods as that would bring shame upon their god. The only problem here is that Zeus is the God King of Olympus and has power over all of the gods there. Even if they say that the Olympian Gods are equal, the last remark will always come from the God King Zeus.
The other Olympian Gods can only swallow their pride as their champions are being treated as pawns by the God King Zeus. They all know why the God King Zeus is acting this way because he has not chosen a champion because he feels that such thing is beneath him. In fact, a lot of God Kings think this way hence they do not choose a champion as the God King Odin was the same.
In reality, the God Kings are just too stuck up and arrogant about themselves that no one can really be devoted to them. Even the children of the God King Zeus cannot tolerate him once they know of his real personality. Due to their personality, they use the champions of the gods beneath them instead. They would even praise themselves for deploying them if the champions achieve something even though the god kings did not even lift a finger.
"Since my husband also commanded my precious champion, I expect that all of them will be fairly compensated by you. This is not up for discussion." The Goddess Hera stated as she glared at the God King Zeus.
"Naturally, I shall compensate the champions myself." The God King Zeus stated as he did not want to start another mouth war with his wife.
The other Olympian Gods sighed with relief on the inside as they know that God King Zeus might be arrogant and stubborn but he is not one to take back his word. If he said that he will compensate their champions then he will definitely do so lavishly. The God King Zeus will not settle for a small compensation as that will make him look small and ungrateful which is why he always give above average rewards depending on the difficulty.
"Are there other boring things that some of you want to report?" The God King Zeus asked as this meeting is held everyday because of the monsters beneath their divine realm.
"Uncle has given a message to me. He said that I shall need to give this to you personally as it can only be opened using your own divine energy." The Messenger God Hermes stated as he gave the God King Zeus a scroll with the God of Death Hades’ seal.
"He is always such a worrywart and extremely careful. He could have just sent one of his messengers here directly. It is not like he is banned from visiting Olympus." The God King Zeus stated.
"My dear, you do know that your eldest brother cannot just come here without something important. Even Hestia came because it only threatened Olympus or else she would be in her divine realm tending to her duties as a goddess of life." The Goddess Hera replied as her husband’s words could be taken as an offense if someone here were to report it to the God of Death Hades.
"I mean, he should come visit his family sometimes. I missing seeing his face as it has been years since I last saw him. We only see his wife most of the time and even she wants to return back to the underworld when he is here. They could just visit together is what I am implying." The God King Zeus stated as he coughed since he actually sensed what the Goddess Hera was hinting at.
"Then make sure to give him that message instead of throwing a silly tantrum to us. It is important that he knows your true intentions instead of just talking to us." The Goddess Hera added.
"You are right. I shall read this here then as it might be important." The God King Zeus stated as he opened the sealed scroll.
The God King Zeus had a smile on his face before he opened the scroll but his face suddenly became serious as soon as he read the contents on it. After reading all of it, the God King Zeus then summoned lightning to disintegrate the scroll as instructed in it. He then created an even more powerful barrier around them that sealed sight and sound.
"Was it something serious, my dear?" The Goddess Hera asked as she has never seen her husband become this serious unless it involves the lives of other gods.
"My brother has observed the strange movements of the Titans in Tartarus. He did not notice the strangeness at first but he managed to detect some small deviances that warranted his attention. He told me that the Titans might have regained connection to the main world as he could feel a faint energy of faith seeping towards Tartarus." The God King Zeus stated with a serious expression which made the others also serious.
"It seems that our brother is not coming here because he has picked up something so critical. I think this might also be the reason why the oceans and seas have become eerie lately." The God Poseidon stated as he also observed some minor deviances.
"Are you saying that Oceanus will pick a side now, uncle?" The Goddess Athena asked.
"I am not entirely sure but there is something wrong with the waters. It is subtle but the change is also something that I can feel. I have increased the patrols around to make sure that everything is still in order but I do not know if this will be the status quo. I have asked to meet with Oceanus but his followers all tell me that he is still sleeping in the ocean depths." The God Poseidon replied.
"Have you not tried to enter his domain, uncle?" The God of War Ares asked.
"Do you want to start a war in the deep waters, my nephew?" The God Poseidon replied with a glare.
"You can just slip into the furthest stretch of your domain without going on their side. A little provocation will not matter because you are still within bounds." The God of War Ares stated.
"That is a terrible idea. The provocation alone could tip the balance of the neutrality that Oceanus has. If he actually joins, the entire world might be plunged with water." The Goddess of Wisdome Athena stated.
"Tch. Such a buzzkill as always because you do not have anything interesting happening in your life." The God of War Ares stated.
"I prefer your other counterpart as he is more tactical. This version of you is just a warmongering freak." The Goddess of Wisdom Athena replied which pressed a nerve on the God of War Ares but he cannot think of a clever way to fight back.
"Silence, children. Your petty squabbles can be done later after this. The most important thing to know is that the God of Death Hades himself is suspecting that the Titans are finding a way to resurface." The Goddess Hera stated which made the other gods calm down as her grandeur overpowered them.
"The Titans should be locked up in Tartarus with an ancient spell that all of us have cast but that does not mean it could not be overturned. If the other Titans that remained neutral and we let be suddenly turns to their side to help them then there is a great chance that they can escape Tartarus.
For now, my brother has increased the observations on the Titans to check if they are indeed communing with followers. If they really are trying to resurface then the army below our divine realm is a provocation to us. I ignored it because there are no beings there that exude the aura of Titans but those vermin might be sent to test us by the real mastermind.
If so, we should give them a message that conveys the message of Olympus. I shall permit Ares to join the beings below in slaughtering them. Trample all of them like the ants they are so that those Titans know the message that we are delivering to them. The others will double the defenses of Olympus are rats will surely be here if the Titans are involved." The God King Zeus declared.
