The Greece Antagonist

Chapter 430: Chapter 288 Your Husband is Awesome! (8.1k)_2

Seeing the leisurely figure approaching with a smile, the Chief Gods of both factions simultaneously stepped back.

The Three Fates, facing the moving humanoid calamity on the field, felt it a thorny issue and could not help but frown and inquire.

“What exactly do you intend to do?”

“My request is simple…”@@novelbin@@

Luo En smiled faintly, then looked around at the Chief Gods gathered around him and spoke arrogantly.

“Either we all die, or I set the new rules!”

“Presumptuous!”

Zeus, unable to contain his anger, subconsciously raised his hands, summoning the thunderbolt across the sky, aiming to punish the blasphemer challenging the Divine King’s authority.

However, before he could act, the thunderclouds in the sky suddenly dispersed, and voices mature, crisp, and youthful came through.

“Stand down…”

Zeus’s body shuddered, and he sullenly lowered his arms.

The Three Fates then descended from midair, coming before Luo En, and examining this audacious madman, they then spoke solemnly.

“So, Hecate’s divinity and authority now belong to you?”

“Yes, while I live, those Old Gods will continue to slumber.”

Luo En nodded with a smile, silently making eye contact with the Three Fates before him.

The Three Fates looked at each other, their gazes briefly meeting, then spoke in unison.

“State your demands…”

Hearing this, Luo En revealed a satisfied smile,

To force the gods into humility, to bring them to the negotiating table to listen to the voice of the weak, one must not only hold enough leverage to threaten the gods but also possess the courage to risk mutual destruction.

After lengthy plotting and several breathtaking adventures, he had finally gathered all the necessary conditions and earned his place at the table to gamble openly with the Three Fates.

Just as Hecate had said, the Three Fates cared not about right or wrong, nor who was the spokesperson for Chance, prioritizing only the normal functioning of the world.

Thus, holding the nuclear weapon capable of overturning the world, he created a logical loop of shared doom; this would prompt the opposing side to change strategies and engage in negotiations, genuinely considering his demands.

Confirming that the most challenging move was complete, Luo En slightly calmed his emotions, then turned to look at the renegade deities and His Majesty the King of Gods, reiterating his initial request.

“First, you’ve wreaked enough havoc; this divine war has devastated all living beings on the earth. Since neither side can overpower the other, let’s cease the hostilities,”

This time, Zeus and the rebels looked at each other, each somewhat tempted.

Now, Zeus’s side, having fought three battles, was exhausted; although the rebels had had some rest, without the clear stance of the Three Fates, they did not have a sure chance of victory, so making peace was a barely acceptable condition for both sides.

However, a stern voice from among the rebels broke the silence; Athena stood up and solemnly voiced her concerns.

“Wait, what if someone wants to settle scores afterward?”

Hera and others shuddered, their initially tempted gazes instantly becoming vigilant.

Zeus’s reputation was well understood—if they did not press their advantage now, once His Majesty the King of Gods recovered to his peak, there might not be enough of them combined to handle the aftermath.

Seeing the skeptical gazes of many turned towards him, His Majesty the King of Gods’s face darkened instantly.

Though he had lower standards, bringing up such matters openly was somewhat impolite.

At this moment, Luo En looked towards Athena, who had spoken out, his gaze filled with approval.

“Therefore, I have a second demand: after the cessation, the gods should return to their holy lands and from then on slumber, only able to walk on earth in the form of partial spirits or avatars, spreading their faith with their powers limited to those of lesser deities and not interfering lightly in the mortal succession of kingships.”

Although the rebel deities did not outwardly object, their faces were visibly troubled.

Being asked to return to their holy lands to slumber, only able to walk the earth as partial spirits or avatars, with their powers restricted to those of lesser deities, was essentially demanding that they tie their own hands.

Upon hearing such harsh conditions, Zeus scoffed and questioned.

“And why should we?”

“Because I am the Shepherd chosen by this mortal realm, I fight for the right of the beings you regard as ants to thrive and multiply!”

Luo En responded unabashedly and then glanced around at the deities before him, snorting coldly.

“The mortal world is the gods’ pasture, humanity their flock. Alive, they provide the gods with faith, expanding divine authority; dead, their pure souls weave beautiful dreams, mitigating the Old Gods’ disasters, perfecting the world’s laws—they are truly the foundation of the new world!

You have each incited divine wars for your own desires, causing countless people to be displaced and numerous city-states to face near extinction. Have you ever heard their pleas, have you ever cared about their pain?”

Hearing this, some deities fell into deep thought, some showed embarrassment, while others remained indifferent.

Luo En observed каждый deities’ reaction and then spoke in a subdued voice.

“Of course, I know speaking of this to you is like talking to a wall, so let’s discuss something substantive instead: the resurgence of the Old Gods has already reclaimed much divinity and authority, and they may soon spiral out of control. My power is not as great as that of the goddess Mingyue, and to get these Old Gods to slumber again and peacefully become the foundation of the world, we’ll need more pure human souls entering the Elysian Fields, collectively weaving beautiful dreams.”
