On an occasion where the gods gathered together, as a host, speaking solemnly, Hades had not felt this way in his life for a long, long time.
The last time there was such a similar occasion, it was in his own temple, when his failed resistance was "reasonably" pushed away by the gods, and when he was tied up in chains, he was hysterically cursing those old-fashioned people. Time for old school guys.
However, that time, he was both the protagonist and the only loser on the stage.
And now, here, he has become a protagonist again, a being with the highest status among all gods.
Here is the new Pantheon! !
only……
Gazing across all the gods present, Hades had to sigh in his heart. Human beings have indeed become the protagonists in the world...
Although these gods from various places and periods have different divine systems, different priesthoods, and different levels of divine power...but the same thing is that none of the gods here are still as high-spirited and heartfelt as they were back then. With his head held high.
Everyone is not doing well...
What makes Hades even more uneasy is the complicated grievances and grievances between these guys.
Can these guys really work together? Are they really... worth trusting...
Lifting his feet and walking towards the center of the stage, Hades glanced at the man without legs seemingly unintentionally.
Olmec...
What is this guy's priesthood? It's been too long, really too long. Even not counting the thousand years he was imprisoned, Hades and this guy had not seen each other for close to a thousand years.
Hades originally thought that the guy whose legs were cut off by him might have been killed in advance in their own internal fighting and died in the ancient war between gods. After all, those guys can't do anything else, such as fighting in the nest and bloody sacrifices. Things always come first.
And that Jesse, I didn’t expect that the former goddess of jealousy would now turn into a human being and become a bar owner in such a nondescript place. Odin once killed her brother, but Ares's white bull was also killed and eaten by their group of guys. I wonder if this woman can believe it...
Judging from her habitual subconscious provocation and arrogant words and deeds just now, perhaps this woman is the most noteworthy existence.
And the old lady who was predicted to eat some of the Sun God, why isn’t she dead? How old is this guy?
Hades remembered... it seemed that when he saw this old lady for the first time, she looked like this...
As for the other gods...
There doesn't seem to be anything noteworthy, because everyone doesn't seem to know each other very well. At least Hades doesn't remember whose son he killed or whose daughter he killed.
Not easy...
Thinking of various things in his mind, Hades walked all the way to the center of the stage, turned around, and faced everyone calmly.
"Everyone. I think that if you are sitting here today, you are not here to quarrel. Let alone fight to the death.
There is no need to divide the camps so clearly and deliberately perform for whom to see.
Here, at least in this day and age, we are all losers. It is an antique that has been abandoned by the times. "
Hades glanced at everyone and spoke the truth very calmly: "I believe that in the past many years, in addition to me who was sealed, everyone must have some contact with each other. Perhaps, they have reported Maybe group heating.
Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to see each other so easily today.
So, since you allowed yourselves to be found, since you are here anyway. You are still unwilling to give in after all, right?
We have been silent for too long. "
From left to right, he looked around at everyone again: "It used to be, it wasn't like this. It wasn't like this, everyone. We used to be gods, sitting on the throne of the temple above the clouds, overlooking the existence of all living beings.
Are you used to this? Hiding in a dark corner like this, using a false face, a false name, living in their world as a human being, and surviving? !
Forgive me for using such a word. But I just want to say...are you used to it? on one's last legs! right! This is your life! Is it right! "
Hades's calm narration suddenly erupted like thunder, shaking the surging divine power, and stared at the gods in front of him.
"Hades."
The owner of this bar theater, Ye Xi, who is a minister in a certain divine department and is jealous of the goddess's position, has a blank face and lightly interrupts Hades's impassioned speech, saying coldly: "You don't have to say whether these are present or not, what kind of emotions are being encouraged. Before you climbed out of that broken cage, you have no idea how we lived and what we experienced.
Therefore, there is no need for you to pretend to understand us. Just say what you want to say.
It's getting late, I'm on my way to the opera, and I don't have time to listen to your nonsense. "
Jesse's words were very rude. Even in the face of Hades, whose strength was unknown but was once one of the most powerful gods in the most powerful pantheon, she still had enough confidence to speak.
Moreover, no matter how impassioned Hades was, how he tried to empathize and try to provoke the generals, the gods sitting below all looked expressionless. On the contrary, after Jesse said these words, some people applauded.
It's the drunk guy.
"If you want to remind us not to forget our hatred, I don't think it's necessary.
That peacock over there that ate my, your little follower and that Athena tore off my wings together, saying words of hatred, I hate you more than humans.
so……"
The drunk man slowly raised his head, his eyes flashing with silver light: "Let's be realistic, Hades."
Conversations between gods, especially conversations between gods in various regions, will most likely turn out like this.
Compared with the decades of human life, long-lived gods often have more interactions with each other. Because of the friction between them, there is more or less hatred between them. However, they do not fight alone. Neither of them is easy to get rid of. The hatred caused by this kind of friction usually only accumulates over time, becomes deeper and deeper, and becomes more and more difficult to eliminate.
It is not impossible for each other to be constant enemies in each other's lives.
But, this is already in the past.
"hehe……"
Hades sneered: "So, what do you want to say, Karl? You want to say that you get along well with humans and don't need to hear these... lies from me?"
Oh, then your temple must still be brightly lit, and humans must still respect you. Your father... Oh, he is angry, good, I thought. You've been drowned in wine. "
Glancing disdainfully at Karl, who stood up but didn't dare to rush forward, Hades continued: "You hope to hear something useful, okay. Then I'll just tell you.
I somewhat despise you.
You are obviously gods, and you obviously have the power to destroy everything, but you still live... I said you are like rats in the gutter, Tuke, do you think it's disrespectful? "
"Me, ah...hehe, I'm fine, I just want to dig your eyes out, nothing else is wrong, hehe."
The legless man replied with a smile.
"We shouldn't live like this. Those, those are the lives we should live."
Hades pointed outside: "Humans have stolen the glory we deserve! They don't deserve these.
We are worthy, we are worthy. Because we are gods. It is the supreme existence! "
Hades became enthusiastic again: "Do you have any reason to refute me?! Do you still want to continue living like this, and then watch those humans getting stronger, more and more... wake up ! They don’t need us anymore! We are becoming weaker!
Do you have to wait until they discover our existence, then catch us and eat us before you wake up! "
Hades jumped off the stage: "You think you are a big spider and they will let you go? Or you! Your peacock is dead, do you want to die too! What about you? God of War? You look like a God of War now You? You! You became the owner of a bar. Will you pay the health management fee? Did you accompany Xiao to get the certificate?
Everyone...I'm not saying what we should do. What I'm saying is: if we don't do something, it will be too late.
We are slowly dying, decaying, and being...forgotten. "
Maybe it was because Hades' speech was in the right mood, or maybe what he said finally touched everyone's concerns. In short, after Hades said these truest words, the voices of ridicule disappeared, and the voices of rebuttal No more.
Even those whom he pointed at and scolded did not refute Hades' words.
That's the truth, it's such a sad, simple reason.
"You said you would...resist. How to resist. What did you say we should do, and how?
how do you want to do it. "
The oldest old woman was sitting on her seat, with a look of endless reminiscence on her face. Among all the people present, she was the oldest, had seen the most, and was the saddest.
You guys have been gods for only a few days? I have been a god since before humans could knock stones.
"Sigh...it has indeed been many years. It has indeed passed too fast. It is indeed...they have changed too quickly...
Hades, if you have something to say, just say it. "
"It's very simple."
Hades finally achieved his goal and found the point that these gods cared about.
There is a huge contrast between the high and mighty life in the past years and the life that is now forgotten and not worth mentioning.
As he said before: Every god here is a loser.
"Humans, although they are powerful and numerous, they are not united.
Everyone, my suggestion is that we can start from a small place, gradually control the upper class of a city, and then slowly..."
"This approach won't work."
Jesse shook his head: "You may have been locked up for a long time and don't understand today's human society.
I don't want to explain any more. I just want to say that here, although this city is mostly made up of ordinary people, the kind of stupid ordinary people we are familiar with, there are also many people with powerful power among humans.
They are either righteous or evil. Although they often fight with each other and fight to the death, they face aliens, such as you and me. They will definitely not choose to cooperate with us.
and……"
Jesse seemed to have thought of something and hesitated: "I don't think we can beat some of them.
for example……"
"Like Superman, right."
Even a reclusive god, no matter how indifferent to worldly affairs, would definitely know about the existence of Superman as long as he still interacts with human society.
When General Zod invaded the earth, Superman was born, but it was broadcast uninterruptedly on major media and TV stations for more than a month.
In fact, the emergence of Superman has been described by some media as a moment of major change in human society and a turning point in destiny.
For the first time, human society has been forced to accept the fact that extraterrestrial life exists.
For the first time, human society has accepted the fact of superhuman existence in a broad sense, and is forced to do so.
For the first time, human beings witnessed their own insignificance, forced...
The existence of Superman is an epoch-making existence that no one can ignore.
However, Hades doesn't seem worried about Superman.
"Jesse, of course I know Superman. He is indeed a powerful guy. But he may not necessarily be our enemy. Our enemy..."
"It doesn't matter, I'll deal with Superman."
Drunk Carl said: "I know that guy, I have wanted to type with him for a long time."
Hehe, idiot, you really think you are the God of War.
"Then, count me in."
The old woman smiled and said: "Perhaps, a guy like this can be full after eating just one. I haven't been full in thousands of years."
"Then...can I join in the fun?"
The man without legs also laughed: "I seem to be quite difficult to kill. I shouldn't die that easily."
"We'll go too."
The twin girls who had not spoken a word all the time, really just like two doll twins, spoke dumbly and said together: "Wind, clouds, lightning, sunshine, darkness, poison, blood... He always has something to be afraid of."
Jesse didn't speak, but his eyes moved thoughtfully.
Vulkan didn't speak either. He was looking at Hades to see what Hades' opinion was. After all, among the gods present, he was the only one who knew how Hades escaped. He felt that maybe he would hear a familiar name...
"No, no, everyone, as I said, we don't need to fight Superman. He may not be our enemy, at least, not yet.
Our enemy is Wonder Woman: Diana.
as well as……"
After speaking the name indifferently, Hades showed a trace of resentment on his face: "Lynn! A human named Linn!"
"ah?"
"who?"
"hiss……"
"I think... we can take a long-term approach..."
Except for the drunken man Carl who seemed unaware of the situation. The legless men, Vulcan and Jesse, all made... disapproving sounds.
"Lin...en? Who is this person? Why is your reaction so big?"
The old lady was so surprised for the first time since she came here. She didn't know who Diana was. This Lynn...
very famous?
Never heard of it!
