The God Killer in the American Comics World - Chapter 352
c351 The End of the Old Era
Negotiations are always a tug-of-war. If you don’t go in and out, and go in and out for a thousand or eight hundred rounds, don’t think about ending.
When you are familiar with each other, you know my strengths and weaknesses, and I know your depth. That’s when the argument is the most intense. Often the argument is red in the face, and the lip-sharp sniping continues.
As the saying goes, a weak country has no diplomacy. Athena, who had lost the foundation of the Pantheon, was in an absolutely passive state in this negotiation, not to mention that two traitors appeared among her good sisters.
Artemis and Hestia, who once had the same label as Athena, not only sold Athena completely, but also blamed her for not falling into the trap together.
When they thought of Athena staring at them from the side of the pit when they were trapped, as if silently mocking their weakness, they got angry, and the result was that they joined forces to sell Athena more thoroughly, so that her bottom line was repeatedly broken in the negotiations.
Athena’s Achilles’ heel was completely grasped. After being betrayed, her good sister really didn’t leave her any face, Athena was completely wiped out.
Being forced into a corner, Athena simply cried and signed the treaty with tears.
Perhaps she would think of today’s shame every time she woke up at midnight.
But that’s how the world works.
Without a home and a foundation, you will be ruthlessly oppressed.
Even if Zeus is a rotten thing, he still has a signboard of the King of Gods. When the last fig leaf is gone, they are just a group of high-level refugees in the universe.
The only difference between Ange and other strong men is that after she makes the maximum concession, Ange will most likely fulfill his promise and give her and other gods a pitifully small place to live.
Athena gritted her teeth and endured it.
The meeting lasted for twelve hours in a row.
This was an extremely torturous half day for the waiting Olympian gods.
In the mirror space, they finally waited for the return of a tired Athena.
“What’s the situation?” Aphrodite was the first to greet him.
“It’s a deal. Kratos will temporarily accept us and temporarily open some of the earth’s priesthood to restore our divine power. As a price, we need to participate in the battle with Darkseid under the condition of swearing a divine oath. Any desertion and negative behavior will be subject to the most severe reckoning.” Athena said calmly.
“Then, what if we join Kratos’s army?”
“Please talk to him one by one.”
At this time, Apollo was unhappy and raised his eyebrows: “Wait! After all, I borrowed his divine power in the past. I am Apollo! He didn’t mention me?”
Athena had a straight face. The outer gods would never know what changes this face had undergone in the past twelve hours.
She sneered in her heart. I fought hard at the negotiation table, spent so much time and effort, and my mouth was dry for countless times before I barely negotiated a result. You actually want to take advantage of me? Haha!
Athena didn’t say anything, so Apollo and other gods could only bite the bullet and use their divine thoughts to “call the God Realm” to find Ang.
After Ang became a god, his mental strength had been greatly enhanced. He was actually not under any pressure to do twenty things at once. He was ruthless. He just kept the Greek gods hanging and talked to them one by one.
For example, for those who had nothing to do with the war, such as the goddess of agriculture Demeter, Ang would simply let them go without asking for anything, and would just release them all after the war.
For those who wanted to stay, Ang first put Aphrodite in the list of friendly match spoils, and then made things difficult for Apollo.
Interestingly, the main gods of Olympus who still maintained unnecessary reserve generally asked for a high price.
As soon as Aphrodite asked for the position of the Queen of Gods, Ang laughed on the spot.
In addition, the [Sun] priesthood could not be given to Apollo, because the most standard sun god in Olympus was Helios. Apollo’s origin was the sun, but in fact he was in charge of light, prophecy, medicine, and disaster relief, etc.
Kamar-Taj controls the space barrier of the Earth, not the solar system. The Ancient One suppressed the entire solar system at his peak. Now that Doctor Strange has taken over, he definitely cannot do what the Ancient One did.
When Darkseid was about to kill him, Apollo did not dare to take the sun as his own domain and occupy [Light].
Anger held Apollo back and only agreed to temporarily give him unimportant priesthoods such as medicine.
However, all the bargaining ended with the terrifying heart palpitations that the Olympian gods felt at the same time.
“The Pantheon… is gone!” Aphrodite suddenly burst into tears.
Even though the gods had expected this early, when this moment came, the indescribable sense of huge loss instantly broke the defenses of many gods.
Staying in the Olympian system, they cursed the three brothers of Zeus many times, openly and secretly. When they really fell, the strong reluctance entangled their hearts again.
After the decline of the Aesir, the Olympians followed suit.
Indeed, this is the end of an old era.
Perhaps, this is also the beginning of the God of War era.
The Olympians, who had been asking for a high price not long ago, quickly reached a series of agreements with Kratos.
Either as a guest general or as a refugee, these old gods made their decisions.
…
Desaad accompanied Darkseid in the ruins of the Pantheon. One of the most luxurious palaces in the universe has now become a trophy of the Apokolips.
Darkseid didn’t even fight in person in this battle. He relied on his generals to deal with a group of old gods including Zeus.
His son used a tray to lift Zeus’ head high.
The essence of gods is a body of high-purity spiritual energy. Zeus, who had died, should have turned into energy fragments and dissipated. Unfortunately, his head was tightly wrapped by Kalibak with mysterious power.
Dead, but not completely dead.
Darkseid glanced at Zeus’s puffy face with eyes wide open, and instantly lost interest: “Throw it away.”
Desaad advised: “My Lord, Zeus was once a father-level strongman.”
Darkseid hesitated for a second: “Then find a corner in the trophy room.”
“Yes!” Kalibak bowed his head.
Darkseid turned around and said, “Leave some people to clean up the battlefield, and then the whole army will attack, the target is the Earth!”
In his opinion, a mere Pantheon is not even as good as the previous Annihilation Swarm.
One after another, the Apocalypse warships turned into streams of light and disappeared in this star field. They entered the space jump program and will reach the Earth orbit in three cosmic days.
It should have been like this.
However, the [Merge] of the universe once again exceeded Darkseid’s imagination.
The space collapse that was rarely encountered in the space jump in the past thousands of years was encountered by the Apocalypse fleet again.
