Hogwarts: Becoming a god from reselling fresh food

Murphy didn't seem surprised by the other party's appearance. He sighed, "You said the gods took away his voice?"

"Yes." Apollo showed a sad look, "That great long poem made the gods fear it. My father was worried that its spread would bring bad omens, so he used a cup of Nectar mixed with poison to make the order. He lost his voice."

"But you don't seem to think so?" Murphy asked.

“You may have heard our legend that my father killed his father to ascend to the throne of Olympus, and his father killed his father’s father to gain the throne. Authority." Apollo said.

"In the oldest prophecy, the throne of the Olympus Protoss will also be passed down in this way."

"But the prophecy was prevented. My father has sat on the throne for too long."

Murphy understood, and he smiled, "Apollo, the son of God King Zeus. God of light, god of the sun, god of prophecy, god of art, god of long-range war, the most loved and supported figure in Olympus. God. Of course you are qualified to take over that authority."

"So what do you want me to do?"

Apollo waved his hand, and a pale golden halo spread out from around him until it covered the entire vicinity of the tomb.

Murphy didn't stop him. He knew that this was a way to isolate others from observation and exploration.

"Where did you hear the name Wotan?" Apollo asked.

The prototype of the Nibelungen story is based on Norse mythology. In the story, the Valhalla Temple was established and they were doing things behind the scenes in an attempt to prevent Ragnarok. However, through a series of cunning operations, Ragnarok finally came. The main god is named Wotan, which is actually Odin.

However, now, Norse mythology has not yet spread on a large scale, and this god's name only exists in a small area in Iceland.

"It's just hearsay."

"God Wotan is actually a clone of my father." Apollo said, "A long time ago, when my grandfather Cronus was killed by him, he made a prophecy that Zeus would be betrayed by his own children. . My father inherited the divinity of Cronus, and this curse will surely come true, so he has already begun to deal with it."

"On the one hand, he controlled important authority through his brothers to prevent rebellion. On the other hand, just in case, he created this incarnation for himself. He did it very covertly and embezzled some of the original native Icelandic gods. He even hid his power from many of my brothers and sisters, but it is difficult to fake divine power."

"He has devoted too much divine power to this incarnation. As long as it is destroyed and annexed, the throne of Olympus will change hands."

"However, it is very difficult to directly eliminate the main god of a pantheon. This means changing the entire belief system. If you want to achieve your goal by eliminating believers, you will have to kill at least more than 100,000 people. Even wars and plagues will be difficult. Do it.”

"But you showed me the power of poetry."

Murphy was noncommittal, "In that case, can't you just let your followers spread this story? As the God of Art and Music, you shouldn't lack such believers, right?"

"That first means a direct confrontation with my father," Apollo said. "I am not ready for such preparation, and my brothers and sisters will not sit idly by. We have tested each other many times during the Trojan War, Both Athena and Ares are as powerful as me, and if my intentions are exposed, I will be besieged by them."

"So, you need me, an outsider, to stand up from the front." Murphy said.

"I don't know where you come from, and I don't care why you spread such a legend," Apollo said. "As long as you spread this story, I can use some means to destroy the god Wotan. You don't even There are too many things to do, and it should be easy to protect a few poets with your power. As long as the story is sung to the palace and spread to three or four city-states, even Zeus will be unable to stop its spread."

It was Murphy's original plan to spread the Ring of Nibelung, so he was not prepared to refuse, but there was no reason not to kill the fat sheep that came to his door, so Murphy said: "If you do this, I will bear the burden of Zeus for you." The risk of becoming an enemy.”

Apollo was silent for a moment, "Tell me, what do you want?"

Of course he knew that Murphy was manipulating it on purpose, but as the Sun God, he always prided himself on being generous, and besides, how could a small price compare to the position of the God King of Olympus?

"Divine power." Murphy said, "I need a lot of divine power. Give me one-third of your divine power."

Apollo's eyes suddenly erupted with dazzling light like fire, "Are you looking for death?!"

Divine power is closely related to faith. The total amount of faith determines the upper limit of divine power. If you want to take away one-third of your divine power, you may have to give up several priesthoods you have to the other party. This is simply a cut-off. How could Apollo not be angry at his own flesh.

Murphy knew that the other party had misunderstood, but he did not explain immediately. Instead, he smiled faintly. The majestic magic power suddenly surged, then shrank, only covering the surface of his body lightly.

However, in that layer of magic, it seems as if all matter has been controlled by magic, as if all rules are accepted under its will, as if within that layer of magic is a universe that belongs entirely to the other party.

The concentration and quality of its magic power frightened Apollo.

He even had a ridiculous feeling that the divine power he had gathered from various priesthoods was as fragile as an egg in front of the magic power that was like an iron wall.

But he couldn't understand it.

How can this be?

Not even Zeus, not even Cronus, not even the first god-king Uranus, the incarnation of the sky, the most primitive and powerful god, could not possess such divine power!

Be aware that the quality of a deity's power is usually related to its priesthood.

The more singular and narrow the priesthood is, the more limited the concepts that the gods can touch and the range of phenomena that they can explain will be, and the quality of their magic power will be relatively low.

And if the priesthood itself is a more basic and primitive concept, such as the sun, sky, thunder and lightning, war, fertility, etc., or if the god has enough priesthoods, then the god can form a set of explanations for the operation of the world using concepts related to his own priesthood. According to the rules, its magical power will be more smooth, natural, round and flawless, and the quality will be higher.

Since Apollo holds more than ten kinds of divine responsibilities, many of which are very important and basic, his divine power is extremely concentrated, and the quality of his divine power is also very outstanding among the gods, even not much worse than Zeus.

But it is clear that Murphy's total magic power is only at the middle or lower level compared to real gods. Compared to him or major god-level gods such as Zeus, it is even more like a firefly, but the quality of the magic power is enough to make people... Shocking.

It was really hard for him to imagine what kind of priesthood could transform such condensed and terrifying divine power from faith? !
