I'm starting a mythical revival in Tokyo

Chapter 161 Let’s all get up together!

Poseidon interrupted Zeus this time not just to make things difficult for him, but because he was really afraid that Zeus would be deceived!

Today's business community is not like it was thousands of years ago, with low status and weak strength. Those financial consortiums are incredibly powerful.

Moreover, they almost completely meet Hermes' divine duties and become the god of commerce. As long as Hermes can survive the initial period and wait until Olympus, the world in Mogui's mind, is completely integrated with reality, then his strength will not only increase dramatically, but it will be absolutely amazing!

Poseidon knew this thanks to his good descendant Julian Augustus.

This guy prayed all day long, and finally became the first mortal to contact Poseidon. Poseidon can be said to be the one who knows the current situation in the mortal world most clearly. If this can allow Hermes to quietly pick up this opportunity of the God of Commerce, then what is the point of him staying here?
"Zeus, do you know how fanatically mortals worship money now? The important position of the God of Commerce cannot be given away lightly!"

Poseidon's obstruction made Zeus more determined to give the position of God of Commerce to Hermes.

There's nothing else to do, it's just that since Poseidon is against it, then it must be good for him. Since it's good for him, he can't get it!
This was a complete waste of Poseidon's efforts, although he also had a little selfish desire, which was to become the god of wealth by relying on his authority over the ocean.

Don't say you can't do something. The shipping industry has always been an important commercial activity with high risks and high returns since ancient times. Whether it is deep-sea fishing or maritime transportation, it has an unshakable and important position in human history.

Based on this point alone, it wouldn't be too much to give him half of the position of the God of Wealth.

He didn't take all of them, giving enough face to Zeus and Hades.

Then Hermes jumped out and quietly said that he wanted to be the God of Business. What the hell, this thing must be ruined for him!

Poseidon strongly opposed it. If Zeus wanted to give him this priesthood, he would have to find someone to support him. He glanced at him and knew that no one could help him.

Hera sneered while holding Ares, who was skinny and barely alive. Apollo had his cattle stolen, and it was impossible for the two siblings to speak for Hermes. Hephaestus was discussing blueprints with Athena, and Athena seemed to be planning something.

The only gods of importance left are Demeter and Hestia. Hestia never gets involved in such things. She and her successor Vesta get along peacefully and have agreed to be the patron saints of mortal families together. If Zeus hadn't required all the gods to be present, she would not have come.

Hestia has no hope, so that leaves only Demeter.

Their eyes met, and Demeter silently uttered a word: war!

Her meaning was very clear. If she wanted her to support Hermes becoming the God of Commerce, she would have to exchange her position as the God of War.

Persephone doesn't have a new priesthood yet, and relies on her mother's blood transfusion to survive. If she doesn't get a new priesthood before the world in her mind arrives, she will fall into a deep sleep.

As a mother, she is very anxious!

This price is extremely high, and Hera will definitely not agree to it. The most important thing is that the priesthood of war is not in his hands now!
That was the bet that Ares gave out. Now it is in the hands of Hades. How can Zeus give it to him?
Don't push me, Demeter!

Zeus tried to intimidate her with her eyes, but Demeter looked him in the face without giving in. Although she was the goddess of the earth and was subordinate to Gaia and could only be the goddess of agriculture, she was not afraid of you, Zeus.

Just then, a voice emerged from the crowd.

"I support making Hermes the god of commerce."

Oops, finally someone supports it. Let me see who it is?
Oh! It's Hermes' mother, Maia.

The smile on Zeus' face froze in an instant. What does this have to do with you?
What's the point of you jumping out and speaking? Can't you help Hermes?

"Anyone else support Hermes becoming the god of commerce?"

"I support."

Ah! There is another one, it is Maia’s father, Atlas.

Zeus' eyes suddenly turned cold. He was now sure that Hermes was up to something!
Maia and Atlas stood up to support him because he must have contacted them in advance, otherwise Maia would not have stood up in front of Hera. She wished Hera would never see her again in her life.

"Hermes, your supporters are very powerful."

Zeus spoke coldly, and even Atlas stood up. It seemed that Hermes really wanted the position of the God of Commerce. Did you really think he didn't know the real situation in the world?

As the king of the sky, how could Zeus not know how far the commercial development of the world has reached? It's just that he doesn't care at all.

So what if he is the god of commerce, the god of wealth? Does Zeus need to care about things like money?
Poseidon is so short-sighted that he actually cares about such things. He is the king of gods but still behaves like this. If he wants money, why not sink the ship? Do those merchants dare not pay tribute?

But even though he didn't care, Hermes wanted to plot against him, to cheat him, to steal from him, and he wouldn't allow that!

But Hera was already angry even without Zeus getting angry.

She was already furious enough because Ares was stripped of his priesthood today. That was because Ares was stupid and she could tolerate it. But now that Maia didn't hide well and jumped out on her own, don't blame her for taking her anger out on her.

"Maia, what do you mean? When will it be your turn to make the decision on changes to the priesthood?"

"Hera, this is a meeting of all the gods. As one of the Greek gods, I feel I am qualified to speak."

"I said you are not worthy, who here has any objection!"

Maia's courage to confront Hera for the sake of her son's future is commendable, but compared with the domineering Hera, her courage is nothing.

Except for Atlas, even her sisters did not dare to stand up and support her. Not everyone dared to offend Hera's majesty as the queen of heaven.

But a high status is not always a good thing, it can also be a weakness.

"Zeus, do you think that as a minor god, I have no right to speak at this meeting?"

Maia directly kicked the ball to Zeus. As the king of gods who convened the meeting, if he could not guarantee the right of the lesser gods to speak, then holding this meeting would be a joke.

"Hera, sit down first."

Zeus is not someone to be trifled with. You can plot against him, as Poseidon plots against him all the time. But whether you can withstand his revenge depends on your ability.

Zeus stood up and looked around the room. At this moment, even the angry Demeter had to bow to him obediently, as did the gods of the sea and the underworld who came from behind.

"In this meeting, the Greek gods can naturally speak actively, and we can discuss together what we should do in the future!"

I would be a fool if I held a conference like this again next time!
"Hermes, since you want to be the God of Commerce, then tell me what are the benefits of this position and why you want it so much?"

Hermes had long anticipated that Zeus would ask this. As someone who specialized in helping Zeus do petty thefts, figuring out Zeus's feelings was his top priority. Otherwise, how could a thief like him be listed among the twelve gods?
Of course it’s because he is the most shameless!
I can do anything for Zeus and please him!

Hermes had the ability of eloquence, and debating was what he was best at besides stealing. His long and eloquent speeches completely aroused the emotions of the gods, as if it would be a loss to the entire Greek pantheon if he did not become the god of commerce.

"Excellent, excellent! Hermes, you are right. We need a shrewd and powerful god of business."

"Thank you for your support, Lord Pluto."

Hermes was very proud. You see, Hades, who couldn't be defeated by Ares's sword, was impressed by his eloquence. He was sure to be the god of commerce! Was Mogui impressed by his eloquence?

Obviously not, Mogui just wanted to have fun.

The God of Business is indeed indispensable, but who says that it must be you, Hermes, who must do it.

He turned to Zeus and suggested, "Zeus, Hermes is right. We do need a capable god of commerce to help our people gain wealth."

"I suggest...let Athena be the Goddess of Commerce."

Hermes' raised hands froze, and so did his smile.

"Uh, Lord Pluto, are you wrong? I want to be the God of Business."

"Yes, you want to do it, but who says you can do it just because you want to?"

"It is up to us to decide what priesthood to grant, not you! Hermes, remember your identity."

Poseidon and Zeus kept confronting him, leaving him speechless. As a jester who had taken a shady approach and had a black glove, he actually dared to plot against his own master. If Zeus didn't teach him a lesson, he would really think he had become the main god based on his own ability!

It was obvious that his eloquence won the applause of the gods, but the high-ranking ones, including the three god kings, had always been sober, and his emotional eloquence was of no use to them.

After seeing his clown-like performance, it would be more just to let him be a real clown, right?

"Athena, my most talented daughter, come, are you willing to become the goddess of commerce and bring wealth to the people of Greece?"

Athena has as many divine duties as Artemis. Basically, no matter what you do, you can ask her for help, of course, only in legitimate industries.

Wearing a waisted long dress woven from clouds and a jeweled headband, she looked particularly intellectual today. Athena, who had none of the sharp aura of the goddess of victory, had never expected that this priesthood would fall upon her.

And it was Pluto who proposed it. Is this the weasel paying a New Year's greeting to the chicken, or what?

Although she was full of doubts, she had no reason to refuse such good things that were delivered to her door. If it was something from a powerful god, she would have to weigh whether she could afford it, but since it was Hermes, of course she would accept it all!

"Dear three gods, I am willing to become the god of commerce and bring wealth to the people of Greece."

The gods were cheering. They were more willing to trust Athena than the thief Hermes, whose reputation was much better than the former!
The people of Greece are also cheering. The capital of Greece is called Athens and it has never changed for thousands of years. Who do you think they are more willing to believe?
Zeus looked at the cheering gods with satisfaction and was about to announce that Athena would become the god of commerce.

"I object!"

How could Hermes, who was so angry that he was twisted, let his goal slip away? The identity of a thief has accompanied him throughout his life. The god of commerce is his only chance to turn things around. Apart from this, he can't find any other priesthood he can get. He can't give up!
"Zeus, I object! I am the best candidate to become the God of Business!"

"Hoo~ You're the best candidate? Are you as smart as Athena?"

"Are you wiser than she?"

"Are you more powerful than her?"

He has none of the fatal trifecta!
If he is smarter, wiser, and more powerful than Athena, does he need to be a black glove?

He has already cleared it!

But giving up means going back to being a jester and a black glove, and he doesn't want to live this kind of life anymore.

"I want to duel with Athena, just like Ares and Hades, I want to duel with Athena!"

As soon as these words came out, there was laughter at the scene. Hermes and Athena were dueling, and this guy had a talent for comedy.

Mo Gui looked up to him at this time. Athena was the goddess of war and victory, and this little guy dared to shout for a duel. He was brave!
Zeus didn't expect that this kid was so bold today. Not only did he dare to plot against him, but he also dared to challenge Athena to a duel. It seems that he needs to change the black gloves because he is not obedient.

"Athena, would you?"

Zeus's question was completely unnecessary, and Athena couldn't think of any reason to refuse.

"I am willing to fight."

A burst of fire burned on Athena's body, and her sacred clothes appeared in the flames. Although it was not as domineering as Mogui's twelve-winged sacred clothes, the angel with wings spread out as bright as gold was also majestic.

"Wait a minute, I want to add some excitement to this duel."

"Brother, what do you want to do?"

Poseidon had already taken out the popcorn, and was about to watch Athena beat up Hermes, but he was interrupted by Mogui. What kind of bonus?
Is it...

Yes, that's it!
Amid the stunned expressions of the gods, Mogui took out the priesthood of war that he had taken out from Ares. This was the prize he wanted to lick.

"I don't need this thing. I'll give it to whoever wins this duel."

The gods' eyes widened. The priesthood of war was much more precious than that of the god of commerce, and Mo Gui just took it out so nonchalantly. What was the difference between this and giving it to Athena?
Is Pluto going to pursue Athena?

This was the question that flashed through the minds of the gods. If not, they were wondering why Hades would help her like this!

First he proposed to make Athena the goddess of commerce, and now he is offering the priesthood of war as a reward for the victor. If he doesn't want to marry Athena, then what does he want to do?
Of course it’s fun for Mogui to do this!
Who said that a duel can only involve two people? Mo Gui doesn't believe that there is no one brave enough to want to become the god of war.

What’s so interesting about a crushing game? A big melee is more interesting!

When this war priesthood was taken out, Hera's eyes were shining!
She had originally planned to go to Mo Gui to plead for mercy after the meeting and use enough treasures to exchange the priesthood of war back, but now it seems that she has to find someone to fight.

Just when she was looking for a substitute, someone else was ready to join the duel.

"Zeus, I want to join this duel."

The one who acted faster than Hera was Demeter. She couldn't get this thing through normal means, but now that Mogui took it out as a reward, she had to fight for it for her daughter!

"Zeus, I want to join in, too."

The ugly Hephaestus pushed aside the gods in front of him and strode to the center of the venue. He was the substitute hired by Hera.

Originally, the best candidate for Hera was Hercules, but he had a grudge against Hera and would never help her. She had no choice but to let the honest man Hephaestus go.

Fortunately, Hephaestus did not care about Ares' past with Aphrodite. After all, he had been freed from his unhappy marriage, otherwise Hera would not be able to find anyone to play with.
