Plot 1: God’s conference, analysis of Poseidon’s strength.
Plot 2: Zeus praised Prometheus’s application for battle.
A whole day passed.
Zeus Temple.
The king of the gods, Zeus sat on the first throne. Seeing the gods that had already arrived, he nodded in satisfaction.
Hera, the queen of the gods; Demeter, the goddess of agriculture; Athena, the goddess of victory; Apollo, the god of light; Artemis, the goddess of hunting; Ares, the god of war; Aphrodite, the goddess of love; Hephaestus, the god of fire; Hestia, the goddess of hearth and Hermes, the messenger of the gods.
Now, the twelve Olympians of the divine realm, apart from his two older brothers, had all appeared.
Beside him, Hermes looked at Aphrodite with interest.
Now, Aphrodite had abandoned Ares, the god of war, and was with Poseidon.
Only Hermes, Ares, and Aphrodite knew about this news.
Ares, the god of war, had been cheated on. In public, he definitely would not admit such a shameful thing.
On the other hand, Aphrodite would not expose her current lover.
In other words, the only person who could publicly expose the news was Hermes.
When Hermes thought of this, he could not help but smile playfully.
However, Hermes did not want to get involved in this mess. After all, the deity world was no longer peaceful. If he stirred such a mess, the deity world would not be peaceful for a short period of time.
In that case, how should his plan proceed?
With this thought in his mind, Hermes chose to obediently shut his mouth and return Aphrodite and Ares their right to expose the truth.
“Everyone, do you all know why I called the meeting of the gods today?”
Zeus said slowly as he saw the many people below the stage who were confused at his sudden summon for a gathering.
“My dear king of the gods, Zeus, I do not understand what is happening now.”
Below the stage, the god of fire, Hephaestus said.
Zeus said slowly, “Just a few days ago, Poseidon forcefully broke into my temple, questioned me, and challenged my authority.
“Everyone should be aware of this.”
Seeing that everyone nodded repeatedly, Zeus continued.
“After that, in order to punish Poseidon, I had Hera extract 90% of his divine power and temporarily strip him of the Tear of Atlantis, which was the heart of the sea.”
Everyone was in an uproar.
If that was the case, Poseidon’s strength would probably drop by several levels!
In fact, his strength might even drop out of the ranks of the twelve Olympians.
“That heart of the sea is extremely beautiful. I gave it to the queen of the gods, Hera for safekeeping.
“But the problem appeared late the next night.
“When Hera woke up, she discovered that the Tears of Atlantis had disappeared.
“After a thorough investigation, she discovered that Poseidon had used some unknown method to secretly retrieve the heart of the sea.”
At this point, Zeus stopped.
Under the throne, everyone looked at each other in dismay.
They all saw a hint of fear in each other’s eyes.
This Poseidon was too brave, wasn’t he?
He actually dared to secretly enter Hera’s room and steal the gem.
He was simply stirring up trouble for himself!
It was no wonder that Zeus was so angry and immediately called a meeting of the gods without inviting Poseidon.
In the seat, Aphrodite tilted her head slightly.
A hint of doubt flashed in her beautiful eyes.
“Impossible.
“Poseidon had been with me all night that night. Where did he find the time to steal the Tears of Atlantis from Hera?
Suddenly, Aphrodite seemed to understand something.”
A huge conspiracy appeared in her mind.
As she knew that after Poseidon had been with her that day, and that the heart of the sea was already in his hands when he fought Ares.
Zeus probably did not take away Poseidon’s heart of the sea.
He deliberately kept a trick up his sleeve to create an illusion that Poseidon had sneaked into Hera’s temple to steal the gem.
Only then could he properly punish Poseidon.
Aphrodite narrowed her eyes and looked at Zeus on the high platform.
She nodded in her heart. Her guess would most likely be true.
Although Zeus had always been trying to establish the image as a man of his word, who among the twelve Olympians was not a cunning person?
Everyone knew that Zeus was sinister and cunning!
It was just that no one dared to say it out loud.
Aphrodite’s heart was beating rapidly as she subconsciously looked towards Ares.
After all, only Ares and herself knew that Poseidon did not have the opportunity to commit such a crime that night.
If Ares were to inform Zeus, it was very likely that Zeus would do everything he could to get rid of him and Poseidon to prevent the lie from being exposed.
Aphrodite swallowed her saliva.
“Poseidon was able to sneak into Hera’s temple and steal the heart of the sea.
“With that, I’m afraid that next time Poseidon would use his trident and stab Hera in the neck.
“Poseidon, the god of the sea, has the possibility of rebelling!”
Zeus shouted coldly.
Everyone was shocked when they heard Zeus’s words.
What a fellow. Zeus was prepared to kill Poseidon for the sake of justice.
Wasn’t he afraid that Poseidon would lose and fight back alongside Hades?
These two brothers were both powerful fighters. If they really caused a ruckus in the deity world, no one would be able to stop them.
Even Zeus, who possessed the power of lightning, would have to take a step back.
“Everyone, I am prepared to take Poseidon’s head. Who agrees with me?”
Everyone was silent.
It was absolute silence.
After a long while.
Hearth goddess Hestia slowly raised her hand.
Hestia swallowed a mouthful of saliva and slowly stood up. “That…”
“Sir Zeus, this matter is both trivial and severe. Isn’t it a little too rash to take Poseidon’s head like this…”
Zeus shook his head.
“Hestia, as expected, you are still too young.
“Now that Hera has extracted 90% of Poseidon’s divine power, he still managed to steal without being caught. Wouldn’t it be a bloodbath if we attacked only when he had recovered his strength?”
“In my opinion, now is the best time to attack.”
Ares, the god of war, stood up and said.
At this moment, Ares was extremely shocked.
“Poseidon actually only had one-tenth of his strength when they fought?
“If he were to recover his strength, wouldn’t he be able to kill him instantly?”
It was indeed better to kill such an enemy now to avoid any more trouble.
By then, he might be able to take Aphrodite back.
“Ares is right.”
“Poseidon only has 10% of his power now. He is able to break into Hera’s palace. If he were to lose and fight back in his full form, who knows what would happen.
“Everyone, there is no need to say anymore. This matter has been settled.”
