5th Rated God - Volume 1 Chapter 27 New Worship System
Even if it is considered Apollos world once, he still had to pay tribute to his father, all the gods did this in their worlds. Much a like a tax system, they all have to pay a little to get the protection of a big shot.
Shrouding the temple with his authority of darkness, it served as a temporary barrier. Of course with how humans are there are bound to be some cult formed and Zeus will still get his fair share of worship and faith.
With no other options, he orders some one to guard the temple.
With that unpleasant task, it was time to announce his presence and rule over the world.
He appeared suddenly one the most populated are and using his divine power, his voice would reach to all ear in the world.
“I am your new god!!!!”, he states with a rulers presence. All the inhabitants of the world heard his godly voice. They were compelled to obey and listen.
“I demand human sacrifices!!!!! Worship and you shall live, defy me you shall die!!!”, he states his imposing presenter.
“Human sacrifices?!?!?!? What god? He’s the devil!”
“The gods have abandoned us!!!”
“Lord Apollo save us!”, many started to pray to the god they once worshiped and revered.
Seething the mortals despair greatly amused Tezcatlipoca. What can they even do? To him there were like whining children.
“My name is Tezcatlipoca! I’m the new sun god!!! Shall you fail, your world will never see day light again!!”, naturally the people wont convert religions without a little bit of fear and force.
Tezcatlipoca reverted back to his original form and with his authority over the world, the day became night. Plunged into darkness the humans fear increased several levels.
Due to this godly show of power of turning day into night, Tezcatlipoca came to be know as lord or the sun in the day and lord of the moon at night.
With this he seamlessly blended his authorities together and received worship from both the the sun and moon! Little would Tezcatlipoca come to know of this until his rule and myth solidified. He did not expect to get the best of both worlds. Not only did he not have to start from scratch, reshaping his myth and what he was associated with, he could keep his previous authority along with his new one. He became to be know as a duality god. God of the light and darkness, sun and moon, day and night.
Apollo and other gods would never be able to do this, or else they would offend their fellow pantheons and would start a war!
The mortals were frightened by his show of power, but they where hesitant about killing their fellow brothers and sister. In Greek mythology, it is forbidden to offer human sacrifices to the gods.
As the myth goes, a king wanted the graces of the gods and built a grand temple of Zeus. Pleased the gods started to favor the mortal and his nation. Then he became a full fledged, boot-licker and a religious fanatic.
With this he gave out more offerings and more worship. In return the gods started to favor him even more. Soon they decided to meet him in person and the king had the honer of hosting a feast. The crazy bastard was so obsessed he even feed the gods his own son!
“He is my most prized possession, the god will surely look a soup made of his flesh!”, thought the king.
Sure some gods would have legends of of them eating humans, but the Greek gods where surly not one of them!
Yup the gods sure as hell weren’t pleased and turned him and all his family (with the exception of the son he sacrificed) into a wolf! The Greek gods had a taste of turning people into animals as punishment. The gods also had instances where they like to turn some people into trees as well. They sure are creative!
Fun fact, this was the origin of the werewolves and also some of their decedents along with other monsters that Apollo took to populated his world. As expected they cursed the god and they where also in the army that rebelled against him.
With this new ideology of sacrificing humans, it was new and terrifying, but did Tezcatlipoca care?
This is why Greek and Mayan gods hate each other. And currently some secret society were goading both sides into a hot feuded war…
