Chapter 1404: Some Things Cannot Be Said or Promised Carelessly
If he could maintain his rule in the Olympus, Zeus would be willing to give up two or three daughters, not to mention one.
The only thing that stopped him from doing that was the dignity of the God King.
But when it came to the last resort, Zeus would definitely do everything he could to win over William, just like Odin.
As for how to restrict William in the future, that was not only a matter for the future, but Zeus also had enough experience and confidence to do so.
In addition, William's indifference to Asgard in the years since he and Angela got together also made Zeus misjudge.
However, although William was planning to take over the Olympus, he would not really go to war with Zeus openly.
Reputation is something that will be ruined once, and it is not that he will not be able to survive if he cannot seize the Olympus.
When people live in this world, it is better to let things take their course or find another way out than to force them, just like he was not qualified to seize the right to rule Asgard, so he could only think of pushing Angela to the throne.
If he robbed for the sake of the Olympus God Realm, not only would his allies and even his family be on guard against him, but he would also set a very bad example for his descendants, which would not be worth the loss in the long run.
Of course, since he knew that Hades and the Lord of Fear were plotting against Zeus, he would definitely not let go of the opportunity to rule the Olympus God Realm.
And if there was no opportunity, he could also create opportunities by taking advantage of the situation.
Just like he didn't do it deliberately, but just wanted to get a powerful shield, but ended up provoking the anger of the deep sea god, Phorcus, there are some things you can't get, but some things will come to you without doing anything.
When William stayed in Folger Castle, worried that Zeus would be furious and bring a large army to the earth to trouble him, he never expected that it would be Artenes who came to the earth.
In an instant, William understood what Zeus was planning, but everything has two sides. If Zeus died, then William's combination with the daughter of the previous God King would save a lot of trouble.
To avoid trouble from the women at home, William took Artenes, who was on a mission, to the planet of Xandar to play and try to strengthen their relationship.
Poseidon and Phorcys, the two sea gods, had already broken down their negotiations in the past few days and started a fight.
However, Poseidon had Zeus as his backer, and he had occupied the best sea area for so many years. If he didn't fight a life-and-death battle, it would be no problem to suppress Phorcys and the deep-sea sea tribes.
Zeus, who knew that the more he dragged on, the more trouble he would have, and he didn't give Phorcys time to collude with the Titans on land. After a fight, he forced and promised benefits, and soon appeased Phorcys on the surface.
However, when Zeus was relieved and prepared to negotiate with Phorcys formally and sign a contract, the ten-day deadline he gave to Argos City and the Argos people had unknowingly expired.
Should he really release the Kraken to destroy Argos City, or should he slap himself in the face and withdraw the order?
This choice was not difficult for Zeus at this time.
At a time when there was a great chance to reach an agreement with Phorcys, the harm of breaking one's promise was definitely much greater than losing the faith of the mortals in a city-state.
Therefore, after Hades asked again, Zeus ordered Hades to release the Kraken without much hesitation.
Soon, a huge sea monster with a body length of more than 150 meters and a body height of at least 30 meters, from the trench thousands of meters deep, broke through the mud layer that sealed it,
roared loudly in the sea, and swam rapidly to the shallow sea area with more than a dozen giant tentacles over a hundred meters long.
As soon as the Kraken was released, Hades felt that his strength was increasing little by little.
Needless to say, these fears must be the gods, and those demigods who have the strength and ability to pay attention to this matter, or the subordinates and subordinates of the gods, who were frightened by the Kraken, providing Hades with a high-quality source of fear.
On the seaside cliffs and ports outside the city of Argos, as soon as the huge Kraken appeared on the sea outside the city of Argos, thousands of Argos people who were bewitched by the Lord of Fear,
followed the Lord of Fear's instructions and took advantage of their numbers to occupy the most prominent position. Then, they did not kneel down and pray for Zeus to give them a way out as Zeus thought.
Instead, after they felt that they could not survive, they began to insult and curse Zeus.
And with these thousands of people taking the lead and clamoring, many of Zeus' shallow believers also felt that there was no hope of survival. Many people were stirred by the atmosphere and immediately followed the clamor to insult and curse Zeus and other gods.
Zeus and other gods, who were originally reluctant, frowned at the crazy and radical Argos people when they saw this situation.
In the eyes of the gods, mortals who have always been treated as lambs insulting the gods are no different from seeking death.
There was no god around Zeus who persuaded Zeus to stop the North Sea giant Kraken from destroying the city of Argos.
Instead, they all looked as if they had to teach mortals a profound lesson. They watched the Kraken dragging its huge body like a mountain, swimming from the shallow sea to the coast, waving its huge tentacles and rushing out of the sea water, whipping Argos City.
Within ten minutes, whether it was people who believed in Zeus or those who cursed and cursed Zeus and the gods, they were sent to the Styx by the Kraken's huge tentacles in a short time.
And those who thought that the gods needed their faith and offerings, saw the nobles who had already landed and started to forcibly demolish Argos City, and the envoys sent by other city-states to observe, and immediately fled Argos City in fear.
Horse back to other city-states to report everything that happened here. Human beings' faith in the gods began to collapse in a short period of time.
"Hahaha", Hades, who was hiding in the underworld, instantly felt countless fears, which were transmitted to him through the Kraken.
No mistakes in one song, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!
On Mount Olympus, Zeus frowned and looked at the temple that was shaking because of the turmoil of faith. He suddenly felt uneasy in his heart, wondering if he had done something wrong.
The gods were mentally prepared for the decline of faith and strength. After all, if believers prayed to you at the moment of life and death but did not get a response,
except for those who were fanatical enough to think that they would go to the Kingdom of Olympus after death, everyone would doubt whether their faith was worth it. Therefore, Zeus and other Olympus gods did not care about the decline of faith for a while.
But Artemis, who was far away in the main material world, playing with William on the planet Xandar, not only felt that her strength had been greatly damaged, but she was also truly abandoned by countless Argos people. The backlash of faith made her even start to damage her godhood.
Thinking about it for a while, Artemis, who was pale and in a turmoil, understood why other gods were not a big problem.
But because she was thrown outside the Zeus Temple in Argos City by William five or six days ago and said a lot of comforting words, she was regarded as a savior by half of the Argos people.
But when Argos City was facing destruction, she, the savior, was not only not in the Olympus God Realm, but also did not make any moves to save people, and even did not hint to the believers to leave Argos City.
This is not a problem of disappointment, but a problem of breaking her promise.
Artemis grabbed William's hand with sweat on her forehead and begged weakly, "Help me, dear."
