Poseidon smiled wryly and shrugged.
"So, Zeus wants to break this rule."
"break in?"
"Yes, just break it."
Poseidon said firmly.
After hearing this, Hilde shook his head helplessly.
"Can I understand it this way? The rule that Zeus wants to break is the rule set by the gods who created this world. They don't want those powerful gods to have too much unnecessary impact on ordinary mortals."
"We have no way of knowing the consciousness of those ancient gods now, but I think this should be the case. Otherwise, we really can't figure out the meaning of such a rule."
Poseidon didn't seem to hate such rules.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have said this to Hilde.
But there is no doubt about it.
Zeus, the king of gods, hated such a rule.
He is obviously the king of gods and the ruler of this world, but he can only interfere with the human world, but cannot directly rule it. He has no way to cross the three realms and become the ruler of the entire world. Therefore, the rules of such a world are completely an obstacle to Zeus. Therefore, the original book of creation involving the knowledge of creation is obviously to find important clues to crack this rule.
Hilde probably understood.
What on earth was Zeus going to do?
"So, Zeus' real purpose is to use the Creation Library to break this rule and realize his wish to rule the three levels?"
"I think it's probably more than that."
Poseidon looked outside helplessly.
"Zeus' ambition may be much greater than we imagined. In his mind, conquering the world and becoming the master of the world may no longer satisfy him. Athena chose to stand on the opposite side of Zeus and snatched the original book of creation at all costs. She even gave her body and the original book of creation to you when her body and soul were about to dissipate in that space. This shows that Athena must know something terrible that we don't know."
"This should be."
Hilde nodded thoughtfully.
Now Hilde felt a little regretful. Athena didn't tell her too much about the reality when she was facing him. If she had told her the truth behind it, Hilde would have been prepared, instead of trying to guess what Zeus meant with Poseidon. So Hilde was also a little distressed.
"So, why did you come to see me today?"
"To be honest, I don't want the Book of Genesis to fall into the hands of Zeus. We don't know what Zeus's purpose is yet. However, since Athena and Artemis both oppose his behavior, I think there must be something wrong behind it. So, it's very simple. What I hope is that before the truth is discovered, the Book of Genesis must not fall into the hands of other gods, especially Zeus."
Poseidon's attitude is also very straightforward.
There was no hesitation.
After listening to this, Hilde nodded.
"You don't need to tell me this. I know what I should do."
"I know."
Poseidon laughed.
"Otherwise, when Apollo came to trouble you, you wouldn't have fought him with all your might. But this is good, very good. Apollo has paid the price for his greed."
"Um……"
Hilde was not happy.
"Apollo's matter is over."
"right……"
Poseidon stood up.
"In fact, most gods don't want to see Zeus dominate. Although Zeus is the king of gods, even his children live in fear of him. If Zeus really gains the power to create the world and changes the rules, then the world will face a great threat." Poseidon smiled and looked at Hilde. "I think the gods who created this world must have considered this when they made this rule, and we, the descendants, should not break their rules."
"I have the same idea as you."
"That's great."
Poseidon bowed slightly.
"Athena and I once had a big conflict. We both disliked each other, but I didn't doubt Athena's character. And because I've fought her before, I know better that she is a god who upholds justice and is definitely not a traitor to the Olympian gods. Therefore, I hold the same attitude as Artemis, and I believe in you too."
"Thank you so much."
No matter whether what the other person says is true or false.
Being able to tell yourself at this special moment that something big has happened.
Hilde was really grateful to the other party.
Poseidon continued:
"I hope you can keep my coming here today a secret."
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
"Then I'll take my leave."
After saying that, Poseidon walked in front of Rhodes.
"Rod, you stay here and assist Hilde. She needs your help."
"Yes, Lord Poseidon."
"Hahaha."
After a burst of laughter, Poseidon disappeared from the spot.
After Poseidon left, Hilde breathed a sigh of relief.
"Finally gone."
"Sister Sissi, no, nothing will happen."
Rhodes walked up to Hilde with fear.
"What is going on now?"
"Don't panic yet. At least, if Poseidon wanted to take action, he would have done it long ago. I guess he has his own plans. Just as he said, what we should do now is to calm down and not panic here. Do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand."
Even so, Rhodes was still a little at a loss.
After all, Poseidon has never appeared.
At this moment, at this rather special time, he appeared in Hilde's palace.
It was truly too surprising to handle.
But Hilde had already calmed down.
Chapter 10 Ares Begins Action
Since Poseidon came to him at this time, it must mean that Poseidon did not come here just because he regarded Hilde as an enemy. This would make no sense.
The conflict between Zeus and Poseidon.
They are all recorded by humans.
After all, Zeus and Poseidon are equally powerful and neither looks down on the other.
Therefore, when Zeus did something that would threaten the existing order, it was normal for Poseidon to stand against Zeus. Especially now, around the original book of creation, no one knew what the purpose of this thing was that Zeus took it.
Apollo longed to create the original library and to become the master of this world, but what about other gods?
Do you have the same idea as Apollo?
In the eyes of Poseidon.
It is safest to keep this thing on Hilde.
But what Poseidon said also gave Hilde a big hint.
Since the Book of Creation has such great power that Zeus can't sleep every night, can I use the power of the Book of Creation to a greater extent? After all, my sky power comes from the Book of Creation, and the fact that Sophia was favored by the goddess of night, Nyx, also has an unclear relationship with the Book of Creation. What's more, a key is needed to open the Book of Creation, and according to Apollo, Sophia is the key.
Hilde, maybe it's a scary thing.
At a very close distance.
But now, Hilde feels that he still needs to pay more attention to another thing.
That is the fact that other gods have also taken action.
According to what Poseidon said, Zeus sent several gods to the world and would choose new oracles to counter the current Hilde. In other words, these people might threaten Hilde's next plan, or even Hilde herself. Therefore, Hilde must be prepared for these possible problems.
But is Hilde afraid now?
Not afraid anymore.
This is different from when facing Apollo.
Apollo was also scary because he was powerful.
But now, Hilde has further liberated her power and obtained the Shield of Athena. At the same time, she also has the Spear of Hilde made by Hephaestus. These things combined make Hilde fully capable of confronting the gods who have come down to earth head-on.
"call……"
Hilde exhaled.
Then he asked:
"Rod, do you think... Poseidon will be our ally?"
"I-I don't know."
"You see, Poseidon chose to stand on our side because of a conflict of interest between him and Zeus. But... if it is true as he said, the gods with conflicting interests are definitely not just him. There are other gods as well. Doesn't this mean that the gods we can potentially win over are definitely not just Poseidon? For example, Artemis, others, and even Hades is possible."
"Really?"
Rod was completely confused.
Poseidon's sudden visit had frightened her to death.
"I, I think, if what Lord Poseidon said is true, then this approach is indeed acceptable."
"That's interesting."
Hilde touched his chin.
"Zeus is preparing for something terrible. Therefore, many gods disagree with him. Athena has directly torn her face with Zeus, while Artemis is making small moves behind the scenes. Poseidon has also expressed his opposition. Therefore, perhaps the problem we are facing now is not so exaggerated and difficult. If we can start from the inside, disintegrate the unity of the other party, and make the other party realize that Zeus is doing something terrible..."
“You can try this!”
Rhodes also noticed the problem here.
It is indeed an opportunity!
A once in a lifetime opportunity!
No matter what, there is now a huge gap among the Olympian gods, which means that the other party is not a monolithic entity. As long as we find an opportunity, we will be able to disintegrate the other party.
But now, we still have to wait for the opportunity.
Only when the opportunity comes can it be finally realized.
And here in Ionia.
Ares and Artemis have arrived at Ephesus in Ionia.
As one of the first city-states in the entire Ionian region to surrender to the Byzantine Empire, Ephesus is now the capital of the Byzantine Ionian Province, and the archon also lives here. The people of Ephesus also have a high degree of recognition of Hilde's rule. Because of this, it is almost impossible to make Ephesus a base camp against Hilde.
But Ares doesn't think so.
Ares and Artemis had opposing opinions on this matter.
Artemis' idea was to start from Ephesus and go to more remote places, especially Abydos. The people here were conquered by Hilder's army, so their attitude towards Hilder was definitely not good. Therefore, Artemis thought that looking for the oracle in this place might be the best choice.
But Ares had the opposite attitude.
He felt that Abydos was too close to the city of Byzantium.
It was so close that it only took the Byzantine Empire a few months to send troops to quell the rebellion.
This does not pose any threat to Hilde.
However, Ephesus and other places are different. First of all, there are many people here. From Ephesus as the core, all the way south, the population of this city-state is half of the entire Ionia region, and it is also quite far from the Byzantine Kingdom. If the rebels develop here, it will not take long for them to become an uncontrollable force. At that time, if Hilde wants to quell the rebellion, he must devote almost all his troops.
