"But it seems that you are no match for Hilde, right?"
"This……"
The gods all expressed strong surprise. They had not thought that even Ares could not defeat Hilde in the mortal world. Ares lowered his head in annoyance. Zeus told this matter to everyone, which was a mockery and insult to Ares. Seeing her son's predicament, Hera could not help but stand up and said:
"Ares has tried his best, but the power of the evil god is too strong, so he can't defeat him."
"Of course I know that."
Zeus nodded.
“Ares is the god of war among the Olympian gods. He is brave and invincible, but the evil god is also very powerful. It is normal that Ares, who has descended to the mortal world, is much less powerful and cannot be a match for the other party. However, if even Ares is not a match for Hilde, then things will become very bad.”
"I am afraid……"
At this time, Ares looked up.
His eyes were fixed on Zeus in front of him.
"I'm afraid that only Lord Zeus can resolve the current situation if he personally steps in."
"Ok?"
"With Lord Zeus's divine power, it would be easy to get rid of Hilde, right?"
The seventh tune, the eighth section, is about the possibility of victory
Ares is a petty person, the kind of person who will never let go of a grudge. Zeus didn't give him face just now, and now Ares wants to get it back. Since I, Ares, can't beat Hilde, then in the entire God's Domain, you are the only one with such a strong fighting ability, Zeus.
"In fact, apart from Hilde, the overall strength level of the oracles, or demigods around Hilde is just so-so. So, if Lord Zeus comes down to earth in person, it would be easy for me to join forces with Lord Zeus to defeat Hilde and win, right?"
"..."
"Moreover, I can also take back the original book of creation in front of you."
Ares's words were full of meaning and sounded very ironic, but they did make Zeus speechless for a moment. Zeus's face became colder and colder, giving people a sense of oppression that was almost suffocating. But Ares was not afraid. His anger and resentment towards Zeus had been accumulating for a long time. After returning from the mortal world, Ares had been thinking about this series of things. Thinking of Athena's unjust death without knowing the truth, Ares' anger was hard to suppress.
For this purpose, Ares also specifically mentioned the original book library of creation.
It was just a reminder to let Zeus understand why he said so much today.
And what exactly does he need the Original Book of Genesis for?
"It is not convenient for me to go there myself."
"Why?"
"Because, this is the other party's purpose."
Zeus sneered.
"You also mentioned the Founder's Library, so you should know that Hilde, who owns the Original Library of Creation, is indeed powerful enough not to be underestimated. However, Hilde is just a puppet. The one who truly controls her is the evil god who intends to eradicate us and replace us. And if the evil god wants to achieve his goal, his first priority is to kill me."
Zeus's eyes gradually became colder.
"If I die, I lose everything."
"Ok."
Zeus was really angry.
Ares also didn't want to have too many conflicts with Zeus at this time.
Hera also gently pulled Ares' arm, signaling him to come back, but Ares just looked at his father meaningfully, then shook his head and walked behind his mother. At this point in the conversation, the atmosphere among the gods became a little awkward.
“So, what’s the solution?”
To break this awkwardness.
Hera took the initiative to bring the topic back.
"This is the important thing I want to tell you."
"what?"
"Everyone has the ability to choose the Oracle, but the Oracle is no longer able to stop Hilde and the people around him. Therefore, we need a hero with the same ability to reach the demigod level to fight for us. In order to deal with this situation, I have already made preparations a long time ago."
At this time, an exquisite little box slowly floated into Zeus's hands.
"This is the Soul Box."
"Soul Box?"
"The souls of the great heroes who fought for us and left their names in Greece are preserved in this box."
As soon as these words were spoken, almost all the gods looked at the soul box in Zeus's hand in shock. Ares was the most shocked. These heroes of mankind had made great contributions to the gods and left beautiful legends in the world. In the end, when they died in battle or died of old age, their souls should enter the underworld like ordinary people and finally complete reincarnation, or like Hercules, directly ascend to gods.
It was natural for the souls of heroes to complete reincarnation. They finished their mission and came to the underworld safely. This was their most basic right as human beings. However, the gods did not expect that Zeus would use the soul box to imprison the souls of these heroes, which was equivalent to completely sealing them in one place for hundreds or even thousands of years.
"Lord Zeus..."
Hercules couldn't help but be moved.
"You mean those heroes who once fought alongside us didn't rest in peace after their death, right?"
"In the Soul Box, they seem to have completed reincarnation. However, if such excellent souls go directly to the underworld, they will be stopped by Hades and trained to become the running dogs of the underworld. And such a life is the real hell for them. So... in order to deal with the possible crisis, I have no choice but to let these heroes suffer."
"..."
Putting the blame on Hades is indeed what Zeus is good at.
It was the same before.
After Hades became the king of the underworld, a natural opposition was formed between the gods in heaven and the gods in the underworld. Especially the gods in the realm of gods, who looked down upon those dark gods in the underworld. The driving force behind all this was actually Zeus.
So when Zeus mentioned that the souls of these heroes would not be able to rest in peace in the underworld, but would be used by Hades and trained to become miserable underworld warriors, everyone could immediately understand the reason for Zeus's series of actions. Of course, Ares didn't believe it. But in this case, he had no way to directly question Zeus's statement publicly.
"So what does Lord Zeus think?"
"The fall of the Greek mainland has become an inevitable fact. Even if I liberate these heroes now, it is estimated that it will be difficult to reverse the current situation, because it will take time for the heroes to recover their strength. Therefore, what you have to do now is to assist the Spartans to move from the Peloponnese to Syracuse. These liberated heroes will also go to Syracuse and other places. They will join the Greeks in Syracuse to resist Hilde's tyranny."
"Transfer..."
Perhaps, this is indeed the best option for the Spartans.
But Ares didn't know either.
How many heroic souls are inside the Soul Box?
Long ago, these heroes favored by the gods shone brightly in the Greek emperors. Many epics now record content related to these heroes, including the very famous Achilles and Ajax the Great. If these heroes were summoned again, it would indeed pose a great danger to Hilde.
Maybe a hero can't compete with Hilde,
But if the quantity increases.
The possibility of winning will be greatly increased.
Moreover, this does not require the gods to take huge risks and come to the human world to fight Hilde. It can be said that this is a very wise choice.
Chapter 9 of the Seventh Tune: The Spartans' Transfer
Just like that for the heroes.
It feels like I'm taking advantage of them.
Treat them as tools.
Of course, many gods certainly don't care about these things. The only ones who really care are Ares and Hercules, who have fought side by side with them or faced each other on the battlefield. They both know that if Athena is here, she will definitely stand up and blame Zeus, but now Ares and Hercules don't have such courage. They can only choose to endure it.
After that, Zeus issued a task to Hermes, Ares, Hercules and Poseidon to transfer the Spartans to Syracuse and to meet the ruler of Syracuse as gods. This almost escaping behavior made Ares feel very unhappy, but now that Zeus had said so, Ares had no choice but to follow orders.
Thus, a great transfer movement began.
After leaving the Temple of Zeus.
Ares called out to Poseidon.
"Lord Poseidon."
"Oh, Ares, what's wrong?"
"What do you think about transferring the Spartans and the heroes?"
"I don't have any opinion. It's better to say that this is indeed Zeus' style. Before he said this, I had already thought that Zeus would do this." Poseidon looked at the indignant look on Ares' face, and just stretched out his hand and patted Ares on the shoulder. "Ares, no matter what you know, please remember that now is not the time for you to make trouble. Since Zeus has said so, let's do what we should do at hand first... After all, it's still uncertain who is right and who is wrong."
"What do you think, Hilde..."
"Hilde may be fine, but I am also a god of Olympus. I can't completely consider the problem from the perspective of the Outer Gods."
Poseidon sighed helplessly.
"Protecting our God Clan is the most important thing."
"Yes, I understand."
"Remember, truth and justice are based on safeguarding the interests of the Olympian gods."
Poseidon said this and turned away.
However, it must be said that Poseidon's words made Ares's thoughts much clearer. Everything is based on protecting the Olympian gods, even Poseidon thinks so. In this way, on the surface, it supports Zeus's point of view, but in fact it is against Zeus. Because Zeus, who wants to create the original library, is the biggest threat to the Olympian gods. Therefore, the reason why Poseidon said this is to make Ares think clearly.
If Hilde threatens the Olympians.
Then she is the enemy.
And if the threat is Zeus.
Then Zeus is also an enemy.
These words made Ares feel much clearer.
The next thing to do is to transfer the Spartans.
According to the gods, Ares and Hercules would personally go to Sparta to do psychological work for the Spartans. After all, asking them to leave their homeland would be a bit too much. The Spartans themselves did not like to leave their homeland. They rarely established overseas colonies, which was different from the Athenians. Therefore, even if the gods came forward, it would not be easy for the Spartans to complete the immigration work in a short period of time.
If they agree, the Spartans will head south and arrive at the port. At this time, Poseidon will lead the Syracuse ships to pick up tens of thousands of Spartans. With the guidance of Poseidon's wind and waves, these tens of thousands of Spartans will arrive in Greater Greece in a very short time. They will be settled in different city-states in Greater Greece and live there. The heroes from ancient Greece will lead these Greeks and be ready to counterattack the Greek mainland at any time to disintegrate Hilde's rule.
Such a plan seems a bit hasty.
Moreover, an upright God was actually forced to this extent.
It really makes people feel a little sad.
Without further ado, Ares and Hercules immediately went to Sparta.
When they arrived in Sparta, it was already late at night. The city was silent and there was no movement. The whole city was filled with a faint sadness. Only when they walked past some houses could they hear some people crying. Perhaps some Spartan soldiers died on the battlefield, and their mothers, children, and wives were now feeling sad about it.
Ares went all the way to the temple.
He originally thought that there should be no one in the temple.
But when Ares came here.
The flickering candlelight in the temple proves that there are still people here.
The aura within the temple undoubtedly belongs to the only two remaining oracles of Sparta, Lysander and Callisto.
Lysander was praying devoutly when he suddenly felt a strong divine power appear behind him. He turned around and saw Ares and Hercules standing behind him. Lysander thought there was something wrong with his eyes and he was hallucinating, but after calming down, Lysander found that he was not mistaken. The two in front of him were actually the God of War and Hercules!
"Yes, Lord Ares?"
"Lord Hercules!"
Callisto also turned around.
When she saw Hercules, she immediately jumped up from the ground and ran towards Hercules.
Hercules also gently picked up Callisto.
"you are still alive."
"Yes, yes..."
Callisto couldn't hold back her tears.
"I thought you had abandoned Sparta, too."
"I'm sorry, but things have changed." Ares looked at Lysander helplessly, "The changes in the situation are much more complicated than we imagined and exceeded our expectations, which led to a series of situations."
"Lord Ares!"
At this time, Lysander could not help asking:
"Are you here to lead us and defeat Hilde?"
