Qi Zhen actually admires and even likes Hephaestus's character from the bottom of her heart. It's actually very embarrassing that she can still put down her dignity and ask everyone in the team to treat her mother who she has no love for and should even be filled with hatred for. Easy.
Judging from what he said, the three women who have the deepest connection with him in the world, his mother, wife and daughter, are still thinking about them at this time. This man is better than those who seem great but are extremely hypocritical. Gods are more responsible.
These conditions did not make Qi Zhen find it difficult. Let Hera die decently, let the God of Beauty go, and avenge his daughter Pandora. This did not conflict with the team's goal, so he readily agreed.
"Go east from here." Hephaestus pointed in the east direction. "In another half-day's walk, you can see the sea."
"That is the territory of Poseidon, the god of the sea. If you want to deal with my father, then this god of the sea is the opponent you cannot avoid."
While Hephaestus was speaking, Liang Sicheng raised his hand, as if he wanted to speak and ask questions.
"What's your problem?" he asked.
"When we were fighting Ares in the city of Athens, we saw Medusa leading the Gorgons to assist Poseidon in his invasion. At least at this level, does it mean that Poseidon and Zeus are not of the same mind? "?" Liang Sicheng asked.
Hephaestus nodded, shook his head, and said, "You are right, but you are absolutely wrong. If it were true as you said, Mount Olympus would have been in chaos."
He pondered for a moment, and no one urged him.
"In fact, the relationship between the gods is far more complicated than you think. If we talk about the camps alone, in fact, both Hades and Poseidon are on the side of Zeus. Although they He wants to overthrow his brother’s rule, but he cannot lose control of the situation.”
"Zeus rescued his two brothers from their father's body and gave them the care of Hades and the ocean. This was actually generous enough, but it also laid the foundation for the two brothers to rebel against him."
"Compared to Poseidon's nephew Ares, this Poseidon can really be called a war madman. He is ambitious and not satisfied with the power he has obtained, but his strength and wisdom are not as good as his own. He was so powerful in his imagination that he was pushed out from the island of Aegina by Zeus, pushed out by Dionysus from the island of Naxos, and pushed out by Apollo from Delphi; in the competition with Athena He was also a loser in the naming rights of Athens and was squeezed out from Trozen by Athena; Argos in his hands was also taken away by Hera, for which he sent drought in retaliation and turned the area into an ocean. Even here Zeus sank Atlantis to the bottom of the sea because of the impiety of his descendants.”
"I won't say anything about Hades, he is a lunatic."
"Zeus is suspicious and insidious by nature. Perhaps it is for this reason that he banished his two brothers to the ocean and Hades so that they could never see the light of day, let alone have any influence on his throne on Mount Olympus. Any chance of getting involved."
"They all want to overthrow Zeus and become king of Olympus themselves, but they all want to take control of the situation in their own hands, because they want
Facing not only Zeus on the highest throne, but also the surrounding gods who are eyeing him, and even each other. "
"So they can only use the hands of others to continuously weaken the power of their opponents and Zeus. They all want to become the most powerful one, and then boldly take action and directly reach the top, so that they can sit back and relax. "
"But I guess it is precisely because of this that Zeus can still sit high in the clouds now. After all, they want to rely on Zeus and consume each other with their opponents. Why doesn't Zeus think so?"
"You are outsiders. Once outsiders reach a certain level of strength, they will inevitably face a joint response from all the gods. They will not allow a force that is too powerful for them to control to exist in this world."
Everyone in the team nodded in unison, understanding what Hephaestus meant.
What he said was actually similar to what Athena told the team in the city of Athens.
A relatively delicate balance has always been maintained among the gods. This balance is jointly created by all the gods. Every event that happens is an opportunity for Zeus and the other gods. However, such things seem to It has happened countless times on Mount Olympus, but this delicate balance has still not been broken.
The appearance of the team is not a powerful chess piece that suddenly breaks into the chessboard, but a big hand that can overturn the chessboard. No matter who is on the chessboard, it is impossible to allow this hand to destroy the situation they have finally created. .
"But you are telling us this, you..."
Liang Sicheng was about to speak but stopped.
"Because I don't care about those people on the mountain at all. No matter what the world becomes, I am still the blacksmith who only knows manual labor." Hephaestus said.
This is the principle of being strong without desire.
But what about Athena and Artemis? Why do they want to help everyone in the team?
If Artemis was just a woman who helped the team simply because she hated the gods, Qi Zhen would believe it, but he could not believe that Athena, the goddess of wisdom, had the same idea.
Is it possible that because of their lack of strength, they also want to overturn the entire chessboard and create a new order?
Liang Sicheng did not hide his doubts, and spoke the names of the goddess of hunting and the goddess of wisdom openly.
A hint of recollection appeared on Hephaestus's face, and then he said with a smile: "If there is only one kind god on Mount Olympus, I think it must be Athena, no matter what she wants to do, I will support her. "
"As for Artemis, my sister is a god with a clear distinction between love and hate. There is no one on Mount Olympus who has such a strong desire for revenge."
"Although I don't know why they want to help you, but as long as it is consistent with your ultimate goal, it is not a bad idea to help them?"
Regarding the Hypnos family, everyone had a tacit understanding and did not ask anything. They probably felt that even if they asked the Vulcan, they might not know.
After bidding farewell to Hephaestus, the team followed his guidance and headed east.
"Child, what did Vulcan teach you?" Wang Jianguo asked.
"
He taught me the casting method, but you wouldn’t understand it even if he told me. Liang Sicheng said.
Wang Jianguo rolled his eyes at him.
"It seems that the current situation is very clear. At present, our enemies on the surface include Poseidon, the God of the Sea, Hera, the Queen of Heaven, and the last God King Zeus. As for the enemies in the dark, we don't know when they will... It will come out and bite us, so we have to guard against it." Qi Zhen said.
"Athena and Artemis, I care about their thoughts. They wouldn't do it if they rebelled against the enemy and turned against us, because it would be meaningless. However, I think they would still be willing to do it if they crossed a river and demolished a bridge or killed a donkey. ." Liang Sicheng analyzed with a frown.
"In addition, don't forget the Erebus and Nyx family. I always feel that the underworld has become empty and the souls of the dead are filling the world, which is inseparable from this family." Qi Zhen sighed. Take a breath.
In fact, before bidding farewell to the God of Fire, Hephaestus had already guided everyone on the way to Mount Olympus. However, they had to abandon the near and seek the far, because Poseidon was the opponent they must defeat on this trip.
Sure enough, at their speed, after no more than half a day, they heard the sound of waves coming from the distance.
During this half day, the rest of the team had no special feelings, only Liang Sicheng suddenly became strange.
No matter who was talking to him, he seemed to be immersed in his own world without realizing it, or he suddenly responded and said something, but he was always absent-minded.
Qi Zhen asked him if he was digesting the knowledge Vulcan taught him. After receiving an affirmative answer, Qi Zhen stopped caring about him.
This is very uncomfortable for Wang Jianguo, who has always been talkative. Qi Zhen is okay, Xhaka is just a boring gourd, and Nuo Lan always looks timid. He is a big man, and Liang Sicheng doesn't talk to him. It's really a problem for him. Holding it back is not good.
The closer he got to the beach, the weirder Liang Sicheng's behavior became. Sometimes he would suddenly stop where he was, fiddling with his hands repeatedly in front of him, apparently thinking about how to assemble non-existent props. Become a practical tool.
Wang Jianguo stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, which shocked Liang Sicheng.
"Old Wangtou, what are you doing?" Liang Sicheng asked after regaining his composure.
Wang Jianguo was startled by Liang Sicheng's appearance at this time, but he still said: "You have forgotten to walk when you are studying knowledge. We have been calling you for a long time and you haven't answered."
"Don't disturb me, I'm busy!" Liang Sicheng was a little annoyed. He had just postponed the production of a machine to the key part, but was instantly interrupted by Wang Jianguo, and his thoughts suddenly stopped.
"Qi Zhen, look at him." Wang Jianguo turned to Qi Zhen and shouted.
Qi Zhen took a closer look and her pupils shrank.
At this time, Liang Sicheng looked haggard, and the whites of his eyes were completely occupied by red bloodshot eyes. It seemed that his mind had reached the edge of overdraft.
The Sharingan opened instantly, and he was shocked when he probed Liang Sicheng's head with his mental power.
Unexpectedly, Liang Sicheng's spirit had become so chaotic that it was almost like countless wires and telephone lines were wrapped around a telephone pole in the 1980s and 1990s.
"Wake up!" Qi Zhen didn't waste any words, and used a spiritual shock.
