After just two encounters, Ares believed he had seen through Russell's true nature, which was arrogant, arrogant, extremely self-centered, greedy, lustful and shameless.
Arrogance is just a phenomenon, its essence is ignorance!
Ares said that it was understandable that a demigod living in the human world did not know and was not qualified to know how vast this world was.
With such an arrogant and domineering temper, there is no reason to let go of the divine right of 'war'. Therefore, there is only one truth. Russell was indeed injured, and it was serious.
In order to be afraid of being noticed by others and taking the opportunity to retaliate against his villainous behavior, he tried his best to disguise himself.
"Sun God, Helios doesn't expect you to be so timid when facing challenges."
Ares sneered: "If you really dare not, stay away from Aphrodite and Queen Hera. Put away your arrogant attitude. It will not be your turn to be arrogant on the mountain."
"Don't make trouble, who said I won't accept the challenge?"
Russell pointed his nostrils at Ares: "You want a fair fight, no problem. I'll beat you to the ground in ten days."
Zeus looked at the two people in the dispute with a livid face, snorted coldly, and said to Hera: "Look at the good things you have done. When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured. No matter who loses the divine power, Ares or Russell.
It does no good to you or me."
That's you, not me!
Hera didn't feel that she had done anything wrong. Russell came for her and made no secret of it from the moment he went up the mountain.
When he was a demigod, he dared to provoke her in every possible way. If he really had full control of divine power, or a high-level authority like the 'Sun God', wouldn't he be sitting on her head all day and night dominating her? Where would her majesty as a queen be?
put?
Hera vaguely felt that Russell not only wanted to humiliate her, but his real purpose was to pull her down from the throne of the Queen of Heaven.
When faced with threats, a woman's sixth sense is very accurate, not to mention that Hera is a goddess and she firmly believes in her intuition. Since Russell has bad intentions, don't blame her for being cruel.
"God King, you should finalize this duel as soon as possible. All the gods are watching. For the long-term peace and stability of Olympus, you must not take sides."
Hera took a tough stance, and if Russell was not removed, she would have trouble sleeping and eating.
"you……"
Zeus glared at Hera fiercely. This woman was simply unreasonable. When he thought about it, it seemed like this.
He turned his head angrily, and suddenly, his eyes swept across the whole place, and found that none of the twelve main gods present and a group of gods who obeyed his orders had no intention of trying to dissuade Ares and Russell.
Those who don't understand don't want to get involved in the dispute between Russell and Ares over mating rights. Those who understand don't want to offend the powerful Queen of Heaven, nor do they want to offend the sun-god.
They are all a group of understanding people!
Most of the older gods had a dog-eat-dog optimistic attitude. A few people, like Ares, felt that Russell was holding on for dear life and were eager to end the fight. They pressured the gods to challenge Russell to a duel.
Zeus looked at it and shook his head repeatedly. The chaotic situation was even worse than when Helios was there, because this time it was an internal conflict within his own family.
"Ares, step back, Russell did not agree to your challenge."
"No, he just doesn't dare."
Ares spoke provocatively and glanced at Aphrodite from the corner of his eye: "It's understandable. Although he is arrogant, he is not brainless. Facing me, the God of War, Ares, he avoids fighting.
It’s a rational decision.”
Russell also glanced at Aphrodite, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said unhappily: "What a joke, I told you to accept your challenge after ten days, don't you have ears?"
"Ten days! That's not necessarily true. Who knows if it will be another ten days after ten days!"
"Hey, I have such a bad temper!"
How could a beauty give up in front of her? Russell pointed at Ares angrily: "With a bronze medal like yours, I don't need to rest for ten days, five days... no, three days, I only need to rest for three days.
You hang him up and beat him."
"Arrogant, I'll give you three days... No, it doesn't matter if I give you five days!"
Russell's sudden change of words made Ares secretly happy and a little panicked. He didn't know if Russell was pretending to be calm or if he was really confident.
He quietly glanced at Hera, who was not squinting, and remembered his mother's promise. He felt a lot more at ease, and said with a sneer: "In this case, I challenge you again. Three days later, I will use the 'God of War' divine power as a bet. You
Using the power of the 'Sun God' as a bet, the two sides will fight to the death, do you dare to accept it?"
"Isn't it five days?"
"Dare you or not?"
"We are all brothers. Why should we fight to the death? Wouldn't it be better to just break the dog's legs?"
"Stop talking nonsense, let me ask you if you dare?"
"Such an important matter, let me go back and think about it for ten days..."
"Coward, I knew you wouldn't dare."
Ares was so proud that he turned to look at Aphrodite, like a general returning in triumph.
"Wait a minute, three days will be three days. After three days, we will bet on divine power and fight to the death."
Russell made a sound with hatred, raised his eyebrows and looked at Aphrodite, perfectly explaining what beauty means disaster.
Aphrodite, who is the beauty's scourge, covered her mouth and smiled coquettishly. The God of War and the God of the Sun fought for her, and she took the blame.
"..."
Zeus looked at this scene in confusion. He thought Russell would refuse. Unexpectedly, he lost his mind just because of her mere beauty...
Thinking about Aphrodite's face and figure, Zeus was very ashamed. It was not Russell's fault, he would have been ready to take action.
"snort!"
Hera snorted lightly, and before Zeus could recover from Aphrodite's beautiful fantasy, she raised her hand and dropped a contract for Russell and Ares to sign.
The duel will take place three days later. The winner will have both the power of the sun and the war. The loser will have nothing. Life and death will be determined by their destiny.
Russell looked at it and found that there was nothing wrong with it. After Ares quickly signed, he signed his name.
The familiar confinement appeared again, and he scratched his head and felt uncomfortable all over. The same was true for Ares opposite him, who was restless and just wanted to fight as soon as possible.
Anyone will do, preferably Aphrodite.
The contract was signed, and Hera made a move to keep it close to her.
It wasn't until she finished all this that Zeus wiped away the saliva from his mouth, looked at Aphrodite's back reluctantly, and suddenly turned his head to take away the contract.
Hera sneered again and again, stood up and left the throne, walked into the side hall, and left the hall of the gods.
Zeus secretly thought there was trouble, glared at Ares and Russell angrily, waved his hands to scare away the gods, and hurriedly followed Hera's footsteps.
He had a hunch that he might be busy for a long time tonight!
On the other side, the gods gathered in small groups, talking in low voices and exiting the hall.
Just when Russell didn't know where to go, an attendant of Zeus came forward and led him out of the hall and to the top of the mountain where the Palace of the Sun God was located.
…
Helios was no longer the sun god. According to the rules, his palace in Olympus, including servants and slaves, was all owned by Russell.
A very majestic shrine, located on the top of a mountain peak, it is magnificent and magnificent, yet majestic and solemn. It also exudes a hazy golden light at night.
From the main palace to the side hall, there are more than ten large and small ones. The surrounding mist is dense and flowing, just like a fairyland on earth.
The residents next to it are not very friendly. The Temple of the Sun is next to the Temple of the Moon, where Helios's sister Selene lives.
Farther away is the palace of Eos, the goddess of the dawn. Unfortunately, this is also the sister of Helios.
Russell thought that he must close the door tightly tonight, especially the bedroom door, otherwise the two goddesses would team up to attack him at night. Even if he did nothing, few people would believe that he was still innocent if word spread.
When he arrived at the main hall, Zeus sent a group of servants to replace all the slaves belonging to Helios in the temple and sent them to the Temple of the Moon.
This arrangement was good. Russell silently praised Zeus and began to tour the hall.
Although it is a temporary residence, this will be his home base for some time to come.
The servants moved away Helios' personal belongings and moved in the items that Zeus had prepared for Russell. The discerning group of servants only took away Helios's personal belongings and left behind all the valuable furniture.
Russell looked left and right and came to a side hall and found a casting room with a steaming furnace and two sword molds being forged.
Russell lifted the forging hammer on the iron pier and swung it with his upper hand. He thought of Hephaestus, the God of Fire, and planned to pay him a visit.
Suddenly, he realized something was wrong again. If he wanted to see Hephaestus, it would be very simple. He just didn't go to the grove at midnight tonight and let Aphrodite's doves fly.
"What you say doesn't mean what you say...isn't it a little bad?"
Russell frowned. After all, he was a person who wanted to lose face, and he really couldn't do anything like letting others go.
After a while, he came up with a way to get the best of both worlds.
He must keep his appointments. It was not in line with his long-standing gentlemanly style to let a lady freeze in the woods on a cold day.
But it was limited to meeting, chatting and enjoying the moonlight. If Aphrodite wanted to go further, he would definitely refuse.
“Reliable!”
The more Russell thought about it, the more it made sense. He rubbed his hands and walked out of the casting room, preparing to change into the special robe of the Sun God.
When he walked to the door, he glanced at the corner of the foundry room, stepped forward, and opened the warehouse where forging materials were stacked.
He couldn't figure out most of the various metal materials and tree roots and branches. After touching them one by one, he heard the system's beep.
【Ding】
[The host contacts ‘Oliha Gang’ and triggers the lottery. Do you want to draw now? 】
"Oliha just..."
Russell pondered for a moment and decided to start the lottery.
[Item card: Oliha Gang x5 (also known as orichalcum, Kobelco, rare, special ability, noble dream metal, and mithril, crystal are also known as the three major magic mines)]
It sounds awesome!
Russell looked at a batch of Kobelco lined up in front of him. He tapped his fingertips to brush off the dust on the surface, revealing a hard metal that was shaped like crystal.
(一`′一)
"If I use this batch of Kobelco to forge armor and create the twelve golden holy clothes of the Sun God, and then recruit a group of people to form the Zodiac, will there be any progress?"
