Give Me the Name of God
Chapter 645: The banquet before the war (Part 2)
Eos, the goddess of dawn, put on a crown of roses and opened the gate of heaven.
She leads the first ray of dawn to the public hall of the gods, which indicates that the gods will gather here to start a day's banquet, or to discuss important matters.
In the past, only Zeus had the power to summon the gods. After Zeus fell into sleep, this power belonged to Hermes, the ruler of order.
But Hermes doesn't like banquets. In his eyes, banquets are the most inefficient communication activities.
The process of the banquet on Mount Olympia is roughly as follows: the gods sit down in order, and the order includes a series of conditions such as identity, personality, lineage, authority, etc.
After sitting down, the gods will eat fixed food, drink fixed wine, and enjoy fixed music and dance in a fixed order.
Each god will speak in order, and the content will be slightly different, but the core meaning is fixed. They are all praises and praises for Zeus. Some ignorant gods will occasionally say something different out of the routine. Such gods Without exception, they will be severely punished by Zeus.
Hermes doesn't like wasting time at banquets, let alone wasting time at meetings. In His opinion, except for the lack of food, singing and dancing, the process of a meeting is no different from a banquet.
After He took over order, the public palace of the gods was idle for a long time, and today's banquet was not convened by Hermes, but by Athena.
Logically speaking, she does not have such qualifications, but the Dawn Goddess let the dawn shine on the temple, proving her recognition of Him. The Muses offered songs to prove their recognition of Him, and the three goddesses of Grace offered dances, proving their recognition of Him. With His approval, the three goddesses of the seasons gathered together the most beautiful scenery of the year and dedicated them all to the palace of the gods, which also proved their recognition of Athena.
Of course, the greatest recognition for Athena was the gods gathered in the temple. Although there was a little twist before taking her seat, Hera insisted on taking the first seat, but the problem was not serious. Athena's only request for Hera was not to go too far. of causing trouble.
The sumptuous food on the table gave the gods some illusion, especially Hera, whose eyes turned red, thinking that Zeus was back.
The delicacies also exude the alluring aroma of wine, which is a gift from Dionysus, the god of wine. He did not belong to Athena's camp before, but he still accepted Athena's call. He missed the traditions of Mount Olympia, especially the revelry at banquets.
There were only two main gods who were not present, one was Hermes and the other was Hephaestus. It was understandable that these two were not present.
This banquet itself was not approved by Hermes. To put it bluntly, it was a seizure of power. Hermes could not be allowed to participate in the banquet of the power seizer. As for Hephaestus, he hated banquets because he had always been the one at the banquet. The one being laughed at.
Everyone knew the truth, but Athena still set her sights on the last seat of the gods, where Pan sat.
Pan is a sixth-level god and should not sit at the bottom of the table, but Athena intends to humiliate him today. Naturally, Pan is not here to seek abuse, but to find out information from Hermes.
But Athena doubted that Hermes could still understand the message now?
Athena asked Pan: Why doesn't my brother, the ruler of order in Olympia, come to drink with the gods?
Pan stood up and saluted: Father was slightly injured and is still recuperating in the temple.
Artemis quickly answered: Did you get injured while catching butterflies?
Hercules said coldly: Did you get hurt in the face by your own arrowhead?
Artemis looked at Heracles angrily, and Heracles looked back with disdain. Athena stood up and said: Pan, please convey my greetings to your brother, and please convey the wishes of the gods to Order. The one in charge.”
While speaking, Athena looked at Hera first, and when Hera nodded, she continued: For millions of years, we stood at the pinnacle of Olympia, using our sweat and wisdom to bring peace to the barbaric world. Civilization and faith are the ones that help mortals escape their dust-like humbleness, empower them with wisdom, allow them to walk upright, and allow them to raise their heads, look up at us, and say our names.
They learned farming, crafts, weaving, and medicine. They even learned to write and record their words and deeds.
It is the selfless gift of the gods that makes the difference between mortals and beasts, and what we get is only trivial worship and admiration. We never care about the gains and losses with mortals. We are not even willing to intervene in their world. We prefer to be in their world. Enjoy every feast and party on Mount Olympia!
Listening to Athena's description, Pan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
A large part of His words are true, but from a different perspective, the nature of them all changes.
For example, the gods do not easily intervene in the mortal world. This is a rule that Cronus was forced to make. After Zeus broke this rule, he was forced to re-establish it. It was definitely not the will of the gods as described by Athena.
However, the description that followed left Pan even more speechless.
We continued to bring happiness to the mortal world on Mount Olympia, but the mortals secretly betrayed us. They gave their faith to a false god of unknown origin, and made our palace a place where we were imprisoned.
Look at what kind of disaster that false god has brought to the world. He demolished our temples, smashed our statues, took away our sacrifices, and killed our believers!
We place our hopes on mortals, but look what stupid mortals have done? What have they done for us? Humble mortals worship false gods, but we have long been forgotten by them, and even the little remaining faith has disappeared! Among the gods here, how many of you have had your spring of faith dried up?
This sentence resonated with almost all the gods, and shouts came one after another at the scene.
After the gods calmed down, Athena continued: Our anger has been ignited long ago, but it cannot burn to the mortal world, or even to the sky. Olympia is no longer our palace, but now it has become a cage to imprison us. !
Do we have to watch from a cage all the time? Do we always have to struggle in a cage? Do we always have to watch humble mortals holding up false gods and wantonly insulting and trampling on us?
The gods' emotions became more and more intense, and their roars resounded throughout the hall.
In the view of God Pan, what Athena said were all fallacies, but these fallacies were recognized by the gods, even Hercules, who came from the mortal world. Even he felt that all these came from mortals' opinions of gods. betrayal.
As she spoke, Athena raised Cronus's scythe, and the cheers of the gods were deafening.
The confinement should be broken! We will break out of the cage! First, we will burn our anger to the sky and burn the shameless false god! Then we will burn our anger to the earth and burn the despicable mortal!
The gods shouted Athena's name, and the whole of Olympia trembled with the shouts.
And Athena turned her attention to Pan again. Pan also wanted to pretend to shout a few times, but Athena didn't want to shout.
Since my father fell into deep sleep, the false gods have been oppressing us more and more deeply. I wonder what the person in charge of order feels about this?
Finally began to question Hermes, and the drama of seizing power was staged.
God Pan originally planned to remain silent, but the gods were looking at him and he had to at least give a response.
He cleared his throat, stood up and said: Father's believers occupy a land. On that land, mortals have restored their faith in the Olympian gods. There are our temples, our believers, and our sacrifices. , believers can recite our names loudly without worrying about being persecuted by believers of false gods. The so-called persecution of false gods is getting deeper and deeper, so where do we start talking about it?
As the words fell, bursts of laughter came from the temple. What Pan said was the truth, but the gods didn't want to hear the truth. They only wanted to hear what they wanted to hear.
Athena smiled and said: It seems that those in charge of order still place their hopes on mortals. Let me ask the gods if you are willing to place your hopes on stupid, humble and shameless mortals!
The temple was boiling again, and the gods were cursing mortals, cursing Hermes, and cursing Pan.
Pan realized that he must not say any more, otherwise it would be difficult to leave the temple safely.
Athena walked up to Pan and said loudly: My brother Hephaestus is not good at fighting, but he is willing to provide weapons and armor to the gods. What is the ruler of order willing to provide us? Even if he cannot participate in the battle, You can’t just sit back and watch, right?”
Pan Qian laughed and said, I wonder what you want?
It's not what I want. This is for the glory of the gods. We need the power of faith. Hermes is in charge of the transaction of the power of faith. Over the years, we should have accumulated a lot of savings.
The eyes of the gods were shining, and it seemed that Hermes' treasury was in danger.
This matter needs to be discussed with father.
Athena nodded and said: I will go with you, and all the gods will go with you!
This is not asking, it is simply robbing!
Pan stepped forward and whispered a few words to Athena. Athena said in shock: Do you really need to do this?
Pan Shen nodded awkwardly.
That's fine, Athena smiled, leave some dignity to the person in charge of order.
Hermes was riding Nymphreroia in the temple, holding a spear and chanting loudly: Conquer! Conquer! Restore the glory of the gods! Conquer! Conquer! Rewrite the hymns of the gods. !”
Pan carefully walked up to Hermes and saluted: Father, the army is ready for war! We are about to conquer the boundless sky.
Hermes held a spear and pointed at Pan and said: Before I conquer the sky, I must kill you evil goat first!
Pan took a step back and said, Treacherous Hermes, you can't kill me!
Today Pan was very cooperative with the drama. Hermes was overjoyed and shouted loudly: Charge, brave warriors, use the majesty of the gods to burn the evil goat to ashes!
The horsewhip hit Leroya, who quickly ran away, with Pan walking in front. She carried Hermes on her back and chased after her until they reached the wilderness outside the palace. A huge net fell from the sky and caught Hermes. Hermes and Leroya were all wrapped up in the net.
There is a trap, you despicable goat, you are harming me! Hermes struggled hard, but the net was extremely strong.
Hephaestus stood aside, looking at Hermes and shaking his head.
This is His golden net. It was Pan who asked Him to use the golden net to sneak attack Hermes.
Athena passed by Hermes: Brother, why have you become like this? Who gave you this curse? Recuperate in the mountains and wait for our success.
Amidst bursts of ridicule, the gods entered the palace of Hermes and opened his treasury.
There are piles of pearls of faith inside, a rough count of at least half a million.
Ares excitedly grabbed a handful of pearls and stuffed them into his mouth. The other gods picked up various utensils and kept filling them.
This was a feast, and the atmosphere was even more lively than the previous one. The light in the eyes of the gods was brighter than pearls. A huge treasury was divided up cleanly in the blink of an eye.
Robber! Shameless robber! Hermes cried miserably in the golden net, Those are all mine! Mine!
Until the gods were gone, Hephaestus opened the golden net and sat next to Hermes.
Hermes was still crying: They are all robbers, they are all robbers, he, they, bully, bully me.
Hephaestus tickled Hermes' nose and asked, Have you cried enough?
Hermes continued to sob: He, they, bullied, bullied me, you, you bullied me too.
Hephaestus ticked Hermes' nose again: When you've cried enough, just laugh.
You, you, you, me, me, hehehe~ Hermes couldn't help but laugh a few times.
