Chapter 33: The Enthronement of the Main God
“Athena and Apollo, I just told you last time to stay close. Why are you arguing here this time?”
Sitting on the throne, Zeus’ face showed dissatisfaction.
Apollo and Athena then backed away, but Zeus noticed that there was still dissatisfaction in their eyes.
It seems that Athena dislikes Artemis, and Apollo is very defensive of his sister, which is great.
Zeus laughed inwardly.
Athena and Apollo were both excellent gods. If the relationship continued to be good, what if they joined forces to create their own rebellion?
However, he still had some doubts in his heart. Athena had always been wise, and today’s performance was too reckless.
Hermes continued to introduce the goddess behind Athena. She was a beautiful goddess with a beautiful body, curves, and long hair.
At first glance, Apollo felt an extraordinary feminine charm emanating from this goddess.
The glamorous facial features, snow-white skin, slender legs, and soft arms; all seemed to be the embodiment of beauty in reality.
Hermes said with an obsession in his eyes, “This is Aphrodite, the Goddess of love and beauty.”
Apollo bowed gracefully to her: “Goddess Aphrodite, you are truly the embodiment of beauty and love. I have never seen such a graceful being as you.”
His praise surprised Aphrodite, and she smiled: “Apollo, you are really sweet with your words.”
“No, I’m just expressing the truth.” Apollo smiled.
Listening to his words, Artemis beside him felt strange.
Aphrodite was indeed a very feminine goddess. Even if she was equally beautiful, she had to admit it.
But she knew that although her younger brother was not an emotionless sage, he was definitely not someone who would be touched by a bit of beauty.
As a twin spirit, she could feel that her brother didn’t have too many waves in his heart.
Why did he have to be so pompous in his praise?
She suddenly noticed that when Apollo praised Aphrodite, the corner of his eyes swept at the Goddess of wisdom, who had an evil tone before.
Immediately, there was dissatisfaction and anger in the eyes of the Goddess of wisdom, and the angle was right on the throne above.
It turns out that when the flame called jealousy burns, any great wisdom will also be stained with dust.
Seeing the dissatisfaction in Athena’s eyes, Zeus instantly understood.
It turned out that his daughter, who had always been arrogant and proud, was still a woman after all and would be emotional.
This makes sense.
Looking at Athena and Apollo again, he felt much more at ease.
When Apollo praised Aphrodite, Ares, standing on the other side, snorted.
Last time, Hera promised to give Aphrodite to him as long as he got rid of Apollo.
But he failed. How could he have the face to ask about it?
Damn Apollo, not only did you defeat me, you are planning to snatch Aphrodite from me now!
He growled inwardly.
Seeing his unhappy mood, Hermes simply omitted him during the introduction.
He introduced an ugly, limping male god next to him with little change in his eyes.
“This is Hephaestus, the God of fire and craftsmanship. The most skillful craftsman of the gods and a large part of the gods’ artifacts are made by him.”
Apollo greeted him.
Hephaestus looked at him but did not answer.
It seemed that there was nothing in this world that could touch him.
It took a lot of time for Hermes to introduce other gods.
Apollo took Artemis and greeted these gods one by one.
The gods also had a preliminary impression of these two children of the King of Gods.
“Apollo is a handsome and polite male god, sunny and elegant, while Artemis is much colder and doesn’t like words.”
.
All of the gods felt this way.
After the introduction, Hermes respectfully bowed to Zeus and left this temporary rank of god.
“Artemis, Apollo!”
With a lightning spear in his hand, Zeus stood up solemnly and called out the names of the two.
Under the watchful eyes of the gods, the King of the Gods said solemnly: “The gods also know each other. My son and daughter are perfect gods. They have been in exile before. It was my negligence that caused them a lot of suffering.”
Apollo glanced at Hera next to him as he said this.
After Apollo and his sister entered, the gods, who had not spoken from the beginning, grunted violently and lightly.
Zeus raised his lightning spear high and continued, “In order to make up for them and to make Olympus more prosperous, I am determined to enthrone Apollo and Artemis as one of the new Twelve Main Gods of Mount Olympus!”
Hearing these words, the present gods and goddesses were surprised.
The Main God was a realm, but the position of the Twelve Main Gods of Olympus was a symbol of status and power.
Even Zeus himself was still one of the Twelve Main Gods.
The system of the twelve Main Gods originated from the divine court of the previous generation.
The second King of the Gods, Cronus, led the Eleven Titans brothers and after overthrowing his father Uranus, in order to show that although he became the King of the Gods, his status was still equal to them, he developed the system of the Twelve Main Gods.
The eleven brothers and sisters were all crowned as the Main Gods so that it would look like everyone was of the same status.
After Zeus overthrew him, they also followed this system, although at the beginning, Hades, the King of the Underworld, was unwilling to serve as the Main God, which made this system a joke.
However, the position of the Twelve Main Gods was still a symbol of the status of the gods’ power.
Most of the Main Gods of Olympus today were either the wives and lovers of Zeus or his sons and daughters of Zeus.
It was not surprising that Zeus would crown Apollo and Artemis as the new Main Gods.
The gods were amazed that he acted in such a hurry.
Apollo and Artemis were born less than a hundred years ago, and their strengths have not yet reached the ream of Main Gods, and they just ascended Olympus.
Shouldn’t he wait for a while and then, later, when they reach the Main God as adults and proceed with the enthronement?
In the beginning, Ares, Hermes, Hephaestus, and Athena were all like this.
Regardless of what the gods thought, Zeus raised his lightning spear, looked solemnly at Apollo, and proclaimed in a loud voice: “Artemis, my beautiful and pure daughter, I praise you as the Goddess of hunting, sitting high on the top of Olympus.”
Under the watchful eyes of the gods, Artemis slowly walked to Zeus.
Zeus looked at her with a smile.
In an instant, a light enveloped Artemis. Her aura surged up, breaking through to the peak of the Upper Gods, and her body bathed in silvery white Divine Light.
At this moment, whether it was the sky or the earth, the ocean or the underworld, all the gods perceived it.
A new throne of gods rose in Olympus.
Looking at the glorious elder sister above, a smile appeared on the corner of Apollo’s mouth.
Suddenly, he saw a small golden box next to the throne of Zeus.
That was a god-level treasure chest.
