Greek Mythology: I open a treasure chest at Olympus - Chapter 60

Chapter 60:  Feared to Lose Divine King’s Authority

There were countless priesthoods and authorities in the world.

Each kind of authority had its unique role. Among the gods, there was only the difference between the strength and weakness of divine power, but not the up and down of authority.

Even several Main Gods’ authority cannot be necessarily higher than ordinary gods.

It’s just that they were powerful.

There was only one kind of authority, which was, above all, the authority of the gods.

That was the authority of the King of Gods.

This was a kind of authority that dominated authority.

It represented supreme control and dominion over all things in the universe.

No matter how powerful the gods were, before the authority of the King of Gods, power will be suppressed.

The first generation of the divine court period.

The King of Gods, Uranus, held the authority of the King of Gods and forced Gaea, who was his Divine Queen and his mother, the powerful Primordial God, to bow down.

This was the great power of the King of Gods’ Authority.

Then the Earth Mother Gaea persuaded twelve children to launch a sneak attack on him, stripping the King of Gods’ Authority, which overthrew Uranus.

During the reign of the Titans, the second-generation King of Gods, Cronus also suppressed the universe with the authority of King of Gods.

Earth Mother  Gaea was forced to live in seclusion.

The God of Abyss, Tartarus, the Goddess of the night Nyx, and the God of Darkness, Erebus, all cowered in the Underworld.

The glory of the court of Titans was spread all over the world.

But with the arrogance of Cronus, the Earth Mother Gaea secretly supported the brother Zeus and launched the battle of the gods and kings, once again stripping the power of the King of Gods.

Only then did he succeed in knocking Cronus into Tartarus.

Absorbing the lesson of the first two times, the Earth Mother Gaea this time enthroned three kings, the King of Gods authority in three parts, King of the Gods, King of the Sea, and King of the Underworld.  She greatly weakened the power of the King of Gods’ Authority.

Even so, Zeus, who had only 40% of the authority of gods, was still incomparably afraid of several Primordial Gods.

King of Olympus, the universe, ranked above the gods.

It was not easy to inherit and use the power of the King of Gods.

Since the three generations of the Divine Court, this was the reason why several Main Gods did not take this authority into their own hands.

It was because only the king chosen by fate could divest and carry the authority of the gods.

Other gods who rashly take this authority will suffer the fate of the backlash.

And even the fate of the chosen king, the use of power too many times, will suffer the fate of the backlash.

For a long time, the gods have rarely seen Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades, the three kings, use this authority.

Even if they do, they were simple to use.

And today, Zeus urged it with all his might!

The invisible vastness fluctuation spread between the wide heaven and earth.

The figure of Zeus abruptly transformed into a boundless sky, appearing enveloped by a field of light.

The incomparable sense of oppression, like the Majesty of the King of God to his subjects, was like the vastness of the world was hopeless to the mortals.

A surging light enveloped Apollo.

The dawn field began to shrink, inch by inch.

It slowly fell from the greatness of the ninth order of the Main God, first to the eighth order of the Main God, then to the seventh order of the Main God, the sixth order of the Main God, and the fifth order of the Main God. In an instant, Apollo’s domain power was suppressed by five orders, falling to the power of the fourth order of the Main God.

The gods watching the battle were all shocked.

For ordinary gods, the power of the domain was the greatest way to express their divine power and power of authority.

Sufficient to be suppressed by five orders, the original flagging enemy could crush you in a moment.

“What a terrible King of God’s Authority and the complete control of any god or power!” The gods murmured in dismay.

But they all still carried a hint of expectation.

“If there were any other gods, with their divine power suppressed by five orders, he would defeat them, but Apollo’s divine body was strong and not weak to the ninth order of the Main God, so perhaps there was still hope.”

There were people among the gods with expectations.

Even the gods hate their rulers; most of the gods were very much looking forward to seeing the high King of Gods being shaken.

Amid the gods’ attention, in the much-shrunken field of dawn, Apollo’s golden eyes were grave, and his figure flickered abruptly.

The divine body group of stars shone, and the power of the Etheric Divine Body filled the air.

A fist blasted into the sky.

“Humph, You can’t get close to me.” Zeus sneered and once again urged the King of Gods’ Authority.

“In the name of the King of Gods, I freeze this space!”

Suddenly, the space in the direction of Apollo’s advance was frozen by a great force.

At the same time, thunder flashed above, and a spear stabbed down harshly.

Apollo swept across with the power of the Etheric Divine Body, blasting away the surrounding space with one fist, but still, his figure was frozen for half a breath.

The lightning spear pierced his right shoulder.

A flood of divine blood dripped down to the earth.

“Apollo!”

Outside the city-state of Delphi, Artemis’ beautiful cheeks were filled with worry, and her palms couldn’t help but clench tightly.

She had never hated herself so much for her incompetence at that moment.

She had promised to fight alongside her brother, but she could only watch him get hurt here.

If she could, she would give up her life and go up to help Apollo.

But she knew that this point of her strength was simply unbearable in front of the terrifying King of Gods’ Authority.

The past would only become a burden to her brother, a burden that dragged him down.

Athena, if it’s you, you should be able to help him… Clutching her palms tightly, Artemis whispered in her heart.

Bang!

Another spear laced with thunder stabbed down.

Apollo’s figure flashed, originally with his speed completely able to dodge this blow.

But when he opened his body sideways, he suddenly found that the space around him seemed much larger.

“That’s right; I’m the one who stretched the distance.”

Zeus laughed loudly, and the lightning spear pierced Apollo’s leg and arm fiercely.

Apollo’s body stumbled violently and fell into the air.

The blood of the red god splattered on the ground.

“Alas, it is not working.” The gods regretted.

“The King of Gods’ Authority is too powerful and unmatched; Zeus in this state is simply untouchable.”

“Too bad, Apollo’s strength is already the top Main God and is the son of Zeus. If the time is right, he can completely invoke the watchful eye of fate and open the battle of the King of Gods, and then Zeus can’t use the King of Gods’ Authority against him.”

“But unfortunately, the way to find and open the timing of the King of Gods’ Authority dispute is only possessed by the Earth Mother Gaea, and she will not help Apollo.”

“Another outstanding King of the Gods blood spirit, who fell in the power struggle.”

All the gods whispered and looked tersely.

Who could not see that Zeus was afraid of Apollo’s power, so he found a reason to make trouble?

In fact, in the current situation, Zeus’s choice was correct.

Otherwise, a few hundred years later, he may not be a rival.

But now, the world could only witness the blood of a promising and excellent god in the sky.

“You’re too good to blame,” Zeus’s said as he locked onto the blood-stained golden figure in the sky, his majesty growing.

“Originally, I was only thinking of imprisoning you, but now that I have witnessed your strength. I can no longer tolerate your continued existence in the world.”

“I will send you and Artemis into Tartarus, never to be free.”

The endless lightning bolt blossomed, and the King of Gods raised his spear, coldly making what he thought would be his final declaration.

In the depth of ocean, Amphitrite grabbed the handrail by her side for dear life.

Her heart struggled with how to tell Poseidon to step in and save Apollo.

Apollo’s strength is very powerful, and if he can escape this disaster, as my ally, he will be able to help me sway the ocean in the future war. Can I talk to Poseidon and ask whether he can stop this state of Zeus?

Thinking long and hard, she gritted her teeth to make up her mind to speak.

Suddenly the Poseidon beside her face changed wildly, fiercely flying out of the ocean.

And in the Underworld.

Hecate sadly perceived the image of Apollo stained with blood and abruptly pleaded with Hades: “Your Majesty, you also have 30% of the Authority of the King of Gods. If you do something, you can stop Zeus, but please save Apollo.”

Hades looked at her and said indifferently, “Zeus has already made up his mind; no one can shake his will. But you should not worry too much. Being beaten into Tartarus does not mean there is no chance of life.”

As he was speaking, his pupils shrank abruptly.

The whirlwind turned into a dark glow and rushed out of the Underworld.

……

“Zeus, the Divine King’s authority is indeed very powerful, but do you think you’ve eaten me up?”

Feeling the cold, oppressive feeling overhead, Apollo abruptly and elegantly wiped the blood from his body.

Golden eyes calmly gazed at Zeus, who came step by step.

The King of Gods frowned and sneered: “Do you think you can still turn the tide, my arrogant son.”

Although he said so, he still tried his best to increase the great power of the King of gods.

At the same time, the lightning spear was raised high.

At that moment, the entire world suddenly trembled.

Apollo’s eyes indifferently pulled out a sword.

An ancient sword with rusty color.

When the rusty sword’s blade was raised high.

In the deepest part of the earth, in a majestic palace, wearing an earthy yellow dress, emitting a boundless and heavy aura of the great Goddess, Earth Mother Gaea abruptly opened her eyes.

Deep in the Underworld, wrapped by the infinite blackness of the night.

A beautiful goddess wearing a thick black dress with a thin veil also awoke from her slumber with beautiful eyes with surprise.

Not far from her, a piece of the darkest and deepest Abyss.

A blurred and distorted figure sitting high on a throne suddenly issued a low cry.

“In today’s era, how can there be a weapon of extinction?”
