Greek Mythology: I open a treasure chest at Olympus - Chapter 62

Chapter 62: End of the dignified God war

“Mother Goddess!”

Zeus turned his head in surprise.

Accompanied by his eldest sister, Hestia, the Goddess of stove, a woman wearing a long pale green dress with a peaceful and graceful demeanor gazed at him with a sad gaze.

She was his mother, the divine Queen of the second King of God Cronus, the Titian goddess Rhea.

He hurriedly held down the divine power in his body and lowered his head to greet her: “Mother Goddess, what brings you here?”

“You have made such a big noise. Can I not be alarmed?” The goddess Rhea rubbed her eyes and let out a sad sob.

The three brothers of Zeus all stood to the side, somewhat embarrassed.

Then, Rhea looked at Apollo, who was still burning with flames, and said, in a distressed tone: “You are the little Apollo; put away the flames and let the grandmother see.”

She said while walking toward  Zeus, her sorrowful eyes crying.

“Why did I help you overthrow your brutal father? It was because I didn’t want to see you being persecuted by him. I wanted to see your brothers safe. Support each other, get close to each other, and love each other even more when you have children. Please don’t repeat the old ways of him and my God Father. You all promised to be straight forward at the time. Why are you doing more than your God Father now?”

She looked at Zeus with grief and pain.

The King of Gods dodged his eyes, not daring to look his mother in the eye.

At this time, the eldest sister of the three kings, Hestia, the Goddess of stove, came over and said, “Mother Goddess, it is better to let them put their divine power and leave here before talking.”

Only then did the goddess Rhea react.

She solemnly said to Zeus and Apollo: “We are a family. Can’t we sit down and talk about it? Come, put away the divine weapon.”

Zeus and Apollo looked at each other coldly.

Zeus thought: This kid’s sword is mighty, but my plan is about to be completed, so I’m not in a hurry to clean him up; wait until I reach the Primordial Domain.

At the same time, Apollo thought: The burning sword’s backlash is too strong. Now, even if I kill Zeus, I will get burnt. First, stop this battle, wait to open new treasures from the treasure chest, strengthenhimself, and then deal with him.

Hesitating for a moment, the two put away their divine weapons separately.

Rhea, Hestia with Poseidon, and Hades then breathed a sigh of relief.

“Well, this is a bit of a family.” Rhea peacefully walked to the middle of two.

Several people walked out of the beaten and collapsed void to the outside world.

“Huh, the battle is over!”

“The King of God and the God of light are there, and it’s His Majesty Hades, Poseidon, and goddess Rhea.”

“It seems that the battle has stopped. After all, it’s good that there is no winner or loser.”

The gods exchanged whispers.

Immediately, many god figures flew from the far sky.

God Queen Hera, Goddess of agriculture Demeter, Goddess of wisdom Athena, God of war Ares, messenger of Gods Hermes, Goddess of justice Themes…

When these gods arrived, they all first greeted Rhea, and Hera walked up to Zeus and said in a sad tone: “My God King, your chest wound is so serious.”

The crowd turned their attention to the hole in Zeus’ chest, which the burning sword had pierced.

Zeus sneered and looked at Apollo: “Who let me have a disobedient son? This is my retribution.”

“Yes, that’s what you deserve.” Artemis also rushed in, heart breakingly caressing a wound on Apollo’s body.

Zeus was furious and said, “Artemis, you are more arrogant than your brother, and I will show you the wrath of thunder.”

“Really? I want to see how much power you have left.” Apollo coldly stepped in front of Zeus.

Hera’s eyes flashed as she coldly chided, “Damn, are you, siblings, going to rebel against your God Father, the great King of Gods?”

“Sister, things have already gotten embarrassing, so don’t stir up trouble.” Hestia, the Goddess of stove, steeply walked up to Hera. Goddess Rhea also hurriedly walked to the middle of Apollo and Zeus and said sadly: “Why are you guys in such a mess again?”

At this time, Athena, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up: “Grandma Rhea, in my opinion, this series of events is caused by the conflict between Apollo and Helios, which led to everything that followed.”

“Why don’t we ask the goddess Themis to sort out all these things from beginning to end and make a judgment?”

Demeter concurred, “Athena is right; these things need to be brought to a just conclusion …”

“Do what closure? Apollo deserves to be beaten into Tartarus for rebelling against his God Father,” Ares shouted loudly.

But before he finished his sentence, everyone except Zeus stared at him with idiotic stares.

He shrank back timidly.

Only then did Rhea look at the Goddess of justice: “Sister Themis, your justice is recognized by the gods, so please judge this chain of events.”

Shouting at her sister Themis, Rhea’s face turned pale.

Themis, the Goddess of justice, was originally the oldest and most majestic of the six goddesses of the Twelve Titans.

And she was the youngest sister.

But then Themis married her son Zeus and became his second wife, giving birth to the three Goddesses of fate and chronology.

Although the two soon split, the sisters met up, which was no doubt a lot more uncomfortable, not that it matters. Not long ago, when Gaea gave birth to a child for her son Poseidon, Rhea was even more bewildered.

By the gods’ stare, blindfolded by a white cloth, one hand holding the scales, one hand holding a sword, the dignified and severe Goddess of justice, Themis, finally spoke.

“All these things started because Helios offended Apollo. Now Helios and his sister Selene have been punished, and no more is to be said.”

“Apollo is the Supreme God of Olympus, and Helios is also a god of extraordinary status.”

“On the rules of Olympus, Apollo, you do not have the power to dispose of him and his sister on your own, but it was their initiative to offend you, so you can only be counted as hitting back too much.”

“As the King of Gods, Zeus’ orders are for every god to obey. But Apollo disobeyed his orders, which is also a sin.”

Hearing this, Zeus and Hera’s faces appeared satisfied smiles.

At this point, Themis’s voice suddenly turned, “Zeus, you, as the King of Gods, did not ask the original reason; see, you directly forced him to admit punishment, resulting in the later conflict and war, the aftermath of which shook the whole world, which is also at fault.”

“This whole thing, the two of you are responsible; both have to accept the punishment!”
