"An interesting idea!"
Even Su Mo had to give a word of praise.
At least compared to Michael, who was always waiting for the return of the Lord, Zeus, as a god, had a more proactive and enterprising attitude, which made people feel that he was an independent life.
"Unfortunately, it's too late."
Su Mo shook his head, not optimistic.
"—!"
Upon hearing this, Zeus's face turned ashen, clearly having been hit where it hurt.
Seeing the enigmatic exchange between the two, and Zeus's dramatic change in expression, Athena began to doubt her worth as the goddess of wisdom.
Otherwise, why wouldn't I understand?
After hesitating for a moment, she asked in a low voice.
"My lord, why is Zeus able to become the only god? Given his background, isn't that impossible?"
She still couldn't figure out this mystery. Not to mention her, even among the Olympian gods, few understood why Zeus did this.
But for Su Mo, this was not a problem.
"What if Zeus, the only god, is omniscient and omnipotent, and he arranged the myths, transcending the dimensions of time, manipulating the threads of fate, and controlling Cronus to give birth to him?"
Both parents and the creator goddess Gaia can be explained using this theory.
Why is the only God not Gaia, the creator of the world, but Zeus, one of the three gods?
The answer is simple: everything is the will of Zeus, the only god. The myth is the way it is because Zeus wanted it to be.
Everything is part of Zeus's script, so it's reasonable that he is the only god.
Human logic cannot comprehend God; it can only accept God.
"what?"
Athena was bewildered by this vulgar statement.
How can this be made up?
In that case, any god could claim to be the only god, right? The reason is simple: that's how the gods are supposed to be.
"Won't people believe such a far-fetched myth?"
She asked, unable to understand.
Su Mo's answer to this was very simple.
“The same thing has been done in Egyptian mythology and Christian mythology, and there have been no problems.”
"As long as your methods of spreading the faith are effective enough, the theoretical basis can be explained by theologians, and history has proven that this is feasible."
In Egyptian mythology, the first god born into the world was Nún, the primordial water. The creator god Atum Ra hid within Nún's body before gaining consciousness.
However, although He was the second individual to gain consciousness, He was the creator God Himself, because He had already given birth to all things and phenomena before He realized who He was.
Through this explanation, Egyptian mythology "successfully" resolved the bug that the gods born later were actually the creator gods.
As for the Christian Church's actions, one only needs to look at the fully patched Trinity concept and the Holy Lance that slays the Son of God to understand.
No matter the myth, as long as there are enough patches, it can be self-consistent.
Logical flaws are never a problem.
"In fact, Zeus had already made a similar attempt, but he failed."
Su Mo added a sentence.
In the early stages of Greek mythology, Zeus's divine power was not particularly outstanding. Even in the later stages, when facing Typhon, he needed the Thunder Cudgel to match him.
However, in later mythology, Zeus became so powerful that he was able to defeat all the Olympian gods by himself.
At that time, his faith was very close to the faith in a single God. Almost all believers in Greek mythology prayed to Zeus, the Father of God, whose status was no less than that of God.
If this trend continues, Zeus may very well become the only true god.
Unfortunately, his ambitions did not come to fruition.
"The gradual transition of Greek mythology to a monotheistic monism was a historical trend, but this process was completely interrupted by Christianity. Having cultivated a deep understanding of monism for many years, Christianity utterly defeated the transitioning Greek mythology and seized all the faith in the Greek pantheon!"
In its doctrine of monotheism, Christianity possessed numerous advantages. Coupled with the strong promotion by Constantine the Great, traditional mythologies such as Roman, Norse, and Greek mythology were effectively eradicated, losing all fertile ground for further development...
"Zeus failed back then, so it's even less likely he'll succeed now... The Greek pantheon doesn't have much room for change, and even if it did, it's not something you can control."
Su Mo spoke the truth.
Upon hearing Su Mo's words, Athena and the Olympian gods finally understood the source of Zeus's thoughts.
Upon hearing his assertion that Zeus could not succeed, all the gods turned their gaze toward Zeus.
Upon hearing Su Mo's assessment, Zeus naturally could not remain unmoved.
"As expected of the son of a fool, so dull-witted! He clearly sees that we've reached this point, yet he doesn't understand that I'm only half a step away from that position?"
"As long as I resolve the final prophecy and completely absorb the power of the Earth Mother Goddess lineage, I will rule over all the power of the entire pantheon, control the entire divine realm in the name of the Supreme God, and then in turn interfere with the faith of the present world."
"At that time, I will completely destroy and replace Christianity, and become the true ruler of all worlds!"
Zeus clearly did not agree with Su Mo's opinion, and his words were full of confidence.
Given the authority over destiny and time possessed by deities, reversing cause and effect is not impossible for them.
"That's right! Father God will surely become the supreme god, and then you will be nothing more than evil gods and demons!"
Influenced by Zeus, Dionysus, the god of wine, also became confident and began to provoke him.
Dionysus?
Seeing the unusually excited Dionysus, Athena tilted her head, somewhat puzzled.
I've never seen you and Zeus this close before!
Seeing her puzzled look, Su Mo casually offered an explanation.
"If Zeus can be promoted to the status of the only god, Dionysus can replace the son of the gods, complete the final piece of the mythological puzzle, and share one-third of the throne of the gods."
The myths of the ages are largely plagiarized. Just look at Zeus's actions. In order to ensure his plan to become the supreme god, he would inevitably copy 0.8% of the myths of Christianity.
The esoteric religion that worships Dionysus already exists. It doesn't require much effort; all that's needed is to publish the esoteric content, and Dionysus can be established as the son of God.
That's why Dionysus was anxious. If Zeus failed, he wouldn't benefit from the victory.
Athena suddenly realized.
After figuring out what the gods were thinking, she looked up at Zeus, her tone slightly sarcastic.
"Zeus, you only saw half a step. Did you see the insurmountable chasm contained within that half step?"
A difference of even a fraction can sometimes mean the difference between heaven and earth, not to mention that we've already passed the era of mythological rivalries. After listening to Su Mo's explanation, she didn't believe Zeus could succeed either.
however--
"A formidable barrier? You mean something that's about to be crossed?"
Zeus scoffed and then looked at Athena and Su Mo.
"So, having found yourself a new master, what right do you have to talk about the glory of the Earth Mother Goddess?"
Upon hearing this, Athena's blood pressure instantly spiked.
Before she could unleash her power, Zeus's thunderbolts erupted once more.
A power surpassing that of any single god began to flow into the lightning.
098 The Third Mythical Technique, The Seven Deadly Sins
"Whether you resist or submit, you cannot stop the destiny that is destined to come."
The majestic voice resounded throughout the entire Greek pantheon, carried by the thunder.
Upon hearing this sound, all the people of Greece knelt on the ground and began to pray to Zeus, hoping that he would temporarily cease his anger.
However, these beliefs, in turn, fueled the rise of thunderclouds.
Amidst the thunderous sound of war drums, Mount Olympus, the sacred mountain behind Zeus, materialized. Whether the Olympian gods wished or not, they all trembled as they ascended the sacred mountain and took their places.
Mount Olympus, imbued with the power of the entire Greek pantheon, soars into the clouds, its summit ablaze with a massive sacred fire.
Above the sacred flame was a dark thundercloud, with dazzling lightning occasionally illuminating the earth.
The clouds and winds above his head changed and eventually coalesced into the face of Zeus.
Thunderstorms are his left eye, the sacred flame is his right eye, storms are his beard, and rain clouds are his skin.
The immense energy flowed from Mount Olympus into the sacred fire, which was then offered as a sacrifice to Zeus, the sole and supreme god.
Under the majestic presence of Zeus, the entire Greek pantheon began to tremble and shake.
"I am Zeus, the Father of Heaven, the Lord of all things! I came, I saw, I rule over all!"
The phantom of Zeus in the sky, imbued with the power of the Olympian gods, made them tremble in fear before his majesty.
In fact, his strength alone surpasses that of everyone else.
“Athena, my daughter, the final fragment of the Earth Mother Goddess.”
A massive cloud vortex and thunderstorm formed a gigantic eye several kilometers in diameter in the sky, staring intently at the 30 Athena behind Su Mo, devoid of any emotion.
"Today, I will break the final prophecy, seize the last rays of the Earth Mother Goddess, control the power of destiny, and ascend the highest throne."
"You have no choice but to accept or refuse."
Accompanied by the declaration of the God-King.
The thunderclouds in the sky continued to gather together, eventually forming a huge thunderball with a diameter of ten kilometers.
The outer side of the lightning ball was covered by dark clouds, which were occasionally torn apart by the dazzling white lightning from the inside.
Each of those lightning bolts possessed the power to kill an ordinary god-slayer.
Such immense power, manifested in the form of lightning with destructive properties to the extreme, would likely bring annihilation not only to the entire Greek pantheon but also to the surrounding pantheons.
Unlike Jibril, who has just reached the threshold of the fourth-order submerged continent, Zeus's attack is a force that could truly destroy an entire civilization, easily turning Eurasia into dust, and even cleansing the entire surface of the earth.
