Chapter 162 I Will Inherit Sese's Will
At night, Mount Olympus, inside the Temple of Hestia.
A figure as swift as lightning moved in it, gradually one became two, two became four, and in an instant it turned into tens of millions, filling every corner of the temple.
“Buzz!”
With a resonance of ether in the air, the afterimages of people running, leaping, dodging, or moving gradually dissipated and returned to nothingness, leaving only the real figure stretching lazily in the center of the temple.
Perfect!
Loen twisted his neck, looked at the shadow of the goat behind him, and nodded with satisfaction.
This third incarnation, named [Goat], gave Pan the power of [speed] that he inherited from Hermes.
At the same time, based on the characteristics of the goat itself, the more complex the terrain, such as river valleys and mountains, the more flexible its activities will be.
The extreme speed of the Goat combined with the great strength of the Bull will definitely greatly improve Loen's combat capability and bring him a qualitative leap.
But that’s the future.
At present, Loen can only easily control one incarnation. If he wants to complete the fusion of more than two powers, he will need to spend some time and effort to slowly explore.
Time, time.
Loen looked out the window at the waning moon that had already risen to the zenith, shook his head helplessly, and prepared to go to bed to meditate and fall asleep, to recover his state and get enough energy to watch tomorrow's show.
However, as soon as he took a step, the strange friction and pulling of the clothes made Loen's body stiffen and he looked down.
I saw a tent rising high, and an extremely hard sword was on the verge of being unsheathed. With the slightest movement, it would show signs of breaking through the blockade.
This lecherous guy never changes his bad habits!
Luo En's face turned dark and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
The power of [extreme speed] brought by [goat] is indeed quite convenient.
However, this thing seems to have an inconvenient side effect after excessive use.
That is, the desire will increase and the urge for mating will surge.
In fact, this is consistent with the nature of Pan and the goat.
Although goats are usually gentle animals, they become very violent and lustful when they are in estrus, especially male goats. At this time, goats are prone to falling into a frenzy in order to compete for mates, and will attack their own kind at all costs, as if they were possessed by a demon.
Therefore, in later Christian religious paintings, the goat, which represents selfishness, cruelty and promiscuity, is considered a demon and is placed on the left to suffer the torment of hell. The sheep, on the other hand, are generally regarded as well-behaved and docile beings, symbolizing good people, and are placed on the right to enjoy blessings during Jesus' judgment.
If you rely too much on the power of the [Devil], you will naturally be affected by the [Devil].
And the essence of this goat-headed demon is probably - [Slaanesh] and [Lewdness]?
If I had known earlier, I should have castrated this lustful sheep before taking any action.
Loen thought back to the records about Pan's character, secretly complaining in his heart, and a hint of sinister murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
In fact, from the first time they met, he had sentenced the goat head to death in his heart.
Because he smelled a familiar fishy smell from Pan.
That did not come from the [goat], but from the Centaurs he had met before.
In other words, the Centaur tribes that spread across Arcadia were not wild bandits, but private soldiers that were herded by humans.
Otherwise, given their level of civilization, where would they get so many sophisticated weapons and equipment?
And the god Pan is most likely the "Horse Herder" hiding behind the Centaur tribe.
During the campaign to clear out the Centaur tribe the next day, some traces at the scene also confirmed Loen's guess.
The special hoof prints on the path did not belong to the centaurs, but were similar to the traces left by sheep's hooves, obviously belonging to the [Horse Herder] - Pan. (See Chapter 158 for details).
This guy is as lustful as a centaur, but as a genuine god of Arcadia, it is not easy for him to rob people openly.
Therefore, these centaurs who are hunting down beautiful women are the troops released by the god Pan to hunt for beauties.
However, the Centaurs were used to being domineering in Arcadia, and accidentally bumped into their own piece of Orichalcum steel, which led to their annihilation.
Realizing that something was wrong, the goat-head hurriedly came from its lair, following Loen's trail all the way to the camp of the gods to check the situation.
Otherwise, how could it be possible that as soon as the Centaurs were annihilated, Pan would appear in front of the camp of the gods by coincidence, changing his stingy nature and offering his courtesy to them?
As for accidentally stepping into a trap and being blown half to death by his magic trap...
Haha, if it wasn't for having something to hide and wanting to see who wiped out the Centaur tribe, why would that goat-head creature, who he couldn't afford to offend, hide in the dark corners?
Based on all of the above, Loen took the initiative to take on the task of sending Pan home, and in a series of subsequent tests, he determined that this lustful sheep was the mastermind behind the Centaur tribe.
Originally, he was still thinking about how to set a trap for this lecherous sheep.
As a result, Pan was so lustful that before his centaurs had even cooled down, he revealed his desire for the nymphs under Artemis in the cave.
Loen immediately diverted the trouble and asked the god Pan to cause trouble for Apollo and attack the more beautiful Muses.
As expected, this goat-head lived up to his enormous lustful audacity. With just a few hints and instigation, he wanted to snatch food from Apollo and take away a Muse to use as a tool for satisfying his lust.
Thus, under Rhoan's continuous instigation, Pan, who bravely put his ideas into practice, naturally fell into the hands of Apollo.
Of course, Apollo’s ability to kill the enemy so easily with one arrow was also due to Loen’s “push”.
But since the God of Light has openly admitted it in public, these details are no longer important.
As for Pan's wish to take care of the Muses on behalf of Apollo...
Luo En looked at the three-foot-long sword at his waist that was about to be unsheathed, and rubbed his forehead helplessly.
Well, considering that little lamb has given so much, it would be a big deal if he could inherit the legacy.
If I'm not mistaken, Apollo will be in trouble tomorrow.
In the darkness, Loen looked towards the direction of the Great Temple, his eyes flickering faintly.
~~
The next day, the Great Temple.
Zeus, the king of gods who had returned from the mortal world, sat alone on the golden throne. After a brief discussion, he issued a formal trial for the sea king who had been escorted to the stage.
"Poseidon, you killed the descendants of Olympus (King Minos) and slaughtered the creatures of Crete, which has tarnished the glory of the gods. Therefore, you will be deprived of your authority as a god and exiled to the human world for seven years to serve mortals and atone for your sins!"
The gods nodded in agreement with this result.
Poseidon, who had been imprisoned for several days, had no thought of resisting under the absolute dominance of Zeus. He could only bury his head and swallow the bitter fruit in humiliation.
Then, Zeus looked past Poseidon who had bowed his head in submission, and looked at another figure on the field who was holding his head high and chest out, his posture still defiant. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he announced in a cold voice.
"As for you, Apollo, you killed the son of Hermes (Pan) and exterminated the Centaurs in Arcadia. Since you are guilty of the same crime as Poseidon, you should be punished with him!"
Instantly, all the gods on the field looked stunned.
Artemis quickly stood up on the throne and loudly defended her brother.
"Pan and the Centaurs attacked us first!"
"Yes, I can prove it."
Lorne, who was attending on behalf of Hestia, stood up and responded, playing his role well.
However, it seemed that Apollo's arrogant character had offended many gods. Even with the support of Artemis and Hestia, the situation on the field was still not optimistic.
As the victim, Hermes glared angrily, and naturally wished that Apollo would be punished;
Ares and Aphrodite gloated over the misfortune;
Athena and Hephaestus seemed to be indifferent to the matter.
The remaining Queen of Heaven Hera and Goddess of Agriculture Demeter abstained from voting due to their absence.
Amid the crowd of silent people watching the show, the defense of Loen and Artemis seemed a little pale and powerless.
Seeing this, Apollo on the field still held his neck fearlessly and directly retorted to Zeus on the stage.
"Why? I don't accept it!"
"Why?"
Zeus was so angry that he laughed. He stood up from the throne and pressed his right hand in the air.
Rhoan and Artemis, who were standing up from the throne to speak for Apollo, suddenly felt an unmatched force coming at them. They were forced back into their seats, unable to move at all.
Accompanied by dull thunder, the entire temple suddenly fell silent.
"Because of this, I am the king of Olympus!"
A deep roar echoed in the temple, and Zeus swung his hands down, and two thunderbolts fell from the sky and hit Apollo and Poseidon.
In an instant, the two figures struck by the lightning let out low moans of pain, their bodies trembled and twisted, their divinity rapidly evaporated, and then their entire bodies disappeared in the extreme light.
The gods looked at the empty center of the hall, the two charred marks remaining there, and the king of gods Zeus standing in front of the steps, and they could not help but remain silent.
Even though Zeus imposed the punishment without a formal vote, no god dared to question the "fairness" of his Majesty the King of Gods.
Because, in the world of the Age of Gods, once you tear off that glamorous disguise, you will find that might is the true justice!
"Well, they have been exiled to Thessaly for seven years of reflection."
Zeus glanced at the two charred marks on the ground, murmured lightly, then swept his eyes over the gods on the field and asked with a smile.
"So, is there anything else that I need to arbitrate?"
All the gods who were swept by his gaze hurriedly lowered their heads, not daring to look at this smiling god with a dagger hidden behind his face.
Thessaly, the ancient battlefield of the Titanic War.
At that time, the Titan King Cronus and his brothers, the Titans, occupied Mount Oethrys, while Zeus and his brothers and sisters occupied Mount Olympus.
In order to compete for the supreme power, the two sides launched a fierce battle in Thessaly, which laid the foundation for Olympus's rule.
But at the same time, that war also created a harsh geographical environment for Thessaly and left behind a large number of Titans who hated Olympus.
Therefore, one can imagine the days when Apollo and Poseidon were exiled to Thessaly.
After using the two chickens, Apollo and Poseidon, to remind the gods on the field, Zeus glanced at the silent gods, nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand forward, and his figure turned into lightning and dissipated.
"Since everyone agrees with this judgment, then let's end these two matters here."
Hearing that Zeus had made the final judgment, the gods left with different expressions.
The nine Muses, who suddenly lost the protection of the Lord God, looked blankly at the empty hall and the two figures left on the throne of the Lord God.
