[Triple chapter, enjoy.]
....
Finishing drinking all the liquor, Rao asked: "What does the queen of Olympus want with me?"
Hera flashed a cold smile. "I want to make a request."
"Oh?" Rao was interested.
"What!?" Aphrodite exclaimed in surprise. She was going to say something, but she fell silent when she saw Hera's cold gaze looking at her. This was not an ordinary look, it was a look promising death.
With just that look, Rao understood several things. He started to form a plan in his head.
"Continue."
Hera looks at Rao: "My request is that I want you to destroy Olympus."
Rao gives a small smile when he hears what Hera wants.
Diana and Hippolyta both open their eyes wide. Diana tried to say something about it, but Hippolyta quickly covered her daughter's mouth.
"Diana, this is not something you can handle. Just be a good girl and be quiet ... Am I clear?" She spoke in an extremely serious voice that did not allow refusal.
Diana unconsciously nods.
"That is impossible, I cannot defeat the whole of Mount Olympus. You are immortal, right?" Rao spoke in a neutral tone.
"This is a simple matter to resolve." Hera smiled.
Hera snaps her fingers, then two beautiful swords appear.
One sword is golden with several runes, and the other sword is a greatsword that contains a strange blue energy.
Hera takes the golden sword and says: "Harpe, the sword given by Zeus to Perseus. With this weapon Perseus cut off Medusa's head, with this sword you can kill a god."
"But this sword has a weakness; it cannot kill Zeus, its creator." Hera spoke in a cold tone.
Rao's eyes widened, he began to look seriously at the two swords.
Rao looked at the greatsword that contained blue runes and blue energy.
"Blade of Olympus, the sword Zeus used to win the war of the titans. With this sword, you can permanently kill all deities."
"Hera!!! Are you crazy!? Are you betraying Olympus!? " Aphrodite couldn't take it anymore.
"Silence." Hera snaps her finger and a golden cloth covers Aphrodite's mouth.
Rao was interested in Hera's proposal, but he knows that there is no free lunch in this world. He was also slightly upset. After all, his plans all evaporated when Hera appeared. He came here in search of making an alliance for a future war with Olympus, but suddenly a goddess appears and messes up his whole plan.
As a being who likes to have everything under control, it bothered him a little, but he quickly restored his mentality.
"You want the destruction of Olympus, why?"
Hera shows a cold smile, she looks at Diana with dead eyes. "Because of beings like her."
"Huh?" Diana did not understand.
"Zeus never respected me. As the goddess of marriage I value marriage and commitment, but Zeus never respected that. Because of my divinity, I am always stuck with Zeus. I cannot betray him .... Zeus took advantage of this and he had several children with other women over the thousands of years, he even slept with a great friend of mine. " She spoke few words in a cold, neutral tone, but with those few words, Rao understood everything.
'As I thought ...' Rao thought internally.
Hera's motivation? It was just revenge against Zeus. She wanted to destroy everything about him. Not just that, she wanted to destroy Mount Olympus and all the gods of that place.
Hippolyta turns her face a little ashamed.
"I see ..." Rao looks at Hera and sees a broken woman who is desperate, but even with all this going on, she hasn't lost her majesty.
Rao has not yet risen from his chair. He just looks neutrally at Hera and asks. "And? After you destroy Olympus, what are you going to do?"
Hera opens her eyes a little. "... I don't know, I will probably be in seclusion for thousands of years until I disappear."
Rao nods.
Rao gets up and walks over to the greatsword. He grabbed the handle, and when he touched the sword, he felt a lot of information coming into his head. It was the location of Olympus, Rao immediately understood that this was Hera's doing.
He looks at Hera and starts walking towards her.
The mood starts to get tense, Hera looks calmly at Rao who was walking with the Blade of Olympus in his hand.
Rao stops in front of Hera and extends his left hand. The queen of Olympus raises her eyebrows a little, but she decides to hold Rao's outstretched hand.
Rao raises Hera like a lady who was about to have a dance. "Are you sure about that?"
Rao looked seriously at Hera's green eyes, he wanted to test her motivation.
"Huh?"
"If I accept the deal ... I will kill your children, brothers, grandchildren ... I will kill your entire family. Even though you know that fact, do you still make this proposal for me?"
Hera looks at Rao with her dead eyes. "Yes ... Kill them all ... Just spare my sister Hestia. She never got involved in the mess of Olympus, she just stayed in her temple resting."
Seeing the determination on Hera's face, he makes a decision.
Rao raises Hera's chin a little, he looks at the queen of Olympus with his red eyes. "Hera, I am not a murderer ... I am a ruler, I am a king."
Hera opens her eyes wide, she understands what Rao is saying.
"We met each other today and I don't trust you, but from the moment you arrived you were always honest with me." Rao caresses Hera's face, he decides to ignore the test that Hera made using ambrosia liquor. After all, he had an opportunity to solve a problem that would be a nuisance in the future.
At that moment, Hera felt a feeling in her heart that she had not felt for thousands of years. She felt the feeling of care and affection.
"Out of respect for that honesty, I will accept your request, but I will do it my way."
Rao separates from Hera and extends his left hand, then the golden sword flies into his hand.
Rao starts walking towards somewhere.
"W-Wait!!" Aphrodite who managed to loosen the golden cloth spoke.
"What will you do!?" Aphrodite did not dare underestimate Rao now. If he wielded these two weapons, he may be stronger than Zeus now.
Rao looks at Aphrodite. "As I said earlier, I am not a murderer ... I am a king, the duty of a king is to rule his people and show them the way they must go, but that is not all. Sometimes the duty of the king is to eliminate the rotten weeds that are in your government ... "
Rao looks towards somewhere, soon he can see a luxurious palace.
"Zeus is an incompetent, he didn't know how to govern Olympus. Because of that, the situation reached this state. Just like he did with his father thousands of years ago, I will replace him. I will clean Mount Olympus, all the herbs that I judge as rotten must be eliminated. "
Aphrodite and Hippolyta both open their eyes wide. Hera just smiled coldly, it was clear that she loved Rao's decision.
Rao stops looking at Mount Olympus and looks towards his mother ship in space, and soon he sees Ares who was caged.
Suddenly, he cuts the space with the Blade Of Olympus.
A ripple appears in the space around Ares, then something supernatural happens. The space has literally been cut ...
Rao just watched Ares' neck being cut, then the war god's head fell to the ground. He was finally dead. "Zero, collect Ares's corpse, I want to study it in the future."
[Yes, My Lord.]
All the gods on Mount Olympus could feel the death of the god of war, Ares. They started to go into a frenzy.
...
A man with long white hair opened his eyes, he was lying on a luxurious bed. He was accompanied by a divinely beautiful woman.
Both gods were naked, it was quite obvious that something happened.
"Zeus, did you feel it?"
"Persephone ... Yes, my son is dead." He spoke in a neutral tone as if he felt nothing about Ares's death.
"What will you do?" Persephone asked.
"I will go to Mount Olympus." Zeus said as he got up from the bed.
They didn't even realize that a god who was wearing an invisibility helm was watching everything.
...
"Ares .... He died forever, even his divinity was lost ..." Aphrodite spoke in shock.
Despite knowing of her son's death, Hera's face has not changed. In fact, she had a small happy smile on her face.
Rao looks at Hera. "I am declaring war on Mount Olympus. All the gods I deem useless will be killed. This night, I will be the judge and the executioner."
"This night, the gods I allow to live must submit to my government ... Hera, starting today, you are mine. You will continue to be the queen of Olympus. When I am not present, you will rule Mount Olympus. " Rao spoke as if he had already won the war.
Hera flashed a cold smile. "That is impossible, my divinity does not allow me to betray Zeus." Everyone realized that the queen of Olympus did not deny Rao's proposal.
"If he is dead, that divinity will no longer have an effect on you."
"... That's true, but I don't accept being your wife, I realize that you already have a lover, I don't want to suffer again."
"What are you talking about?" Rao spoke confused.
"Huh?"
"You will be my subordinate, and you will rule Olympus when I am away. I will not marry you."
"Huh ...?" Hera didn't understand.
"You are not going to be my wife. You have already suffered too much, I cannot be the man you want me to be. I am a king, and in the future, I will be an emperor. As an emperor of various races, consequently, I will have to make political alliances through marriage. "
"I am not the man who will have only one woman." He spoke in a not very detailed way.
"Heh, in the end all men are equal." Aphrodite said out loud.
"You are wrong." Faora answered.
Faora looks at Aphrodite. "Unlike Zeus ... Rao is doing this for political alliances. What he said is just a possibility that can happen in the future. If a kingdom in the future wants to make an alliance through marriage, Rao will accept it because that is the fastest method of gaining influence, but there are several methods besides marriage that Rao can achieve influence. He will not go around and rape any beautiful woman he meets, he is not a disgusting pig like that god. "
"... Huh ...?" Aphrodite did not understand anything that Faora spoke, it seems like Faora was speaking in another language.
Aphrodite thought for a moment and then she understood what Faora said. "Oh, that's what you're talking about."
Hearing what Faora said, Hera's smile grew. She finally understood what Rao was saying.
Hera appears in front of Rao. "The Blade of Olympus gives you a great increase in power. Wielding this sword, you gain a power equivalent to Zeus, but remember ... You should never let go of this sword. If it leaves your hand, you will be very weak for days. I realize that you have no control over your divinity, and that can be very dangerous. "
She explained to Rao as a teacher.
"Harpe is a sword that gives you a great defense against divine attacks. It is very effective against gods other than Zeus, its creator. When you are going to fight Zeus, you must use the Blade of Olympus."
"These two swords can kill gods permanently. In this war, you should never release these two swords. If you release these two swords, the gods will kill you."
"Understood, but I don't think you should worry." Rao releases both swords and they begin to float around him.
"Oh? That never happened to Zeus. " Hera spoke with interest.
"I am not Zeus, Hera." Rao said in a neutral tone that carried a great seriousness. He does not like to be compared with someone else.
Hera gives a small smile. "Yes, you are not Zeus ... You are better than him."
Aphrodite rolls her eyes at this rather obvious flirtation.
"Faora, M'gann M'orzz. I want you to go back to the ship. I want you on standby and to prepare the weapons of mass destruction. If I give the signal, I want you to destroy Mount Olympus. I already sent the location of Mount Olympus through my artificial intelligence."
"If that doesn't work, I want you to use plan C, D and E."
Rao had not thought that something like this would happen in the future, but he has already made several small malleable plans in the event of a war against the gods and he will put that plan into effect if he fails in his mission.
He understands that his people are not prepared to fight a war against the gods. Because of that, he must go alone. This is the most efficient option, if he fights against the gods together with his people, the Kryptonians will just die.
And he doesn't want that.
'Things were not as I planned initially, I just wanted to make an alliance with Hippolyta, but I didn't expect a move from Hera or Aphrodite... Well, plans are meant to be changed.'
"Yes, My Lord." The two women said in unison, soon they flew towards the skies. They did not question Rao's decision, they have absolute confidence in him.
"Aphrodite, what are you going to do?" Rao asked calmly.
Aphrodite looks at the two weapons Rao is wielding and looks at Rao's cold face. She swallows and says: "Cough, I never liked Mount Olympus, you know? You can destroy it. " In the end, she chose her life.
Hera rolls her eyes when she sees Aphrodite's attitude.
Rao nods, if Aphrodite said that she would defend Olympus, Rao would have killed Aphrodite now.
Aphrodite sighs in relief. She feels bad for betraying Olympus, but she prefers to keep her life and if Rao is defeated, she can only say that she was sleeping in her temple and that she doesn't know anything.
With that she is safe, at least it was the naive thought that she had.
Rao looks towards Mount Olympus and realizes that several gods are gathering. "Let's start a man's war against an entire pantheon of gods." He couldn't help showing a small smile when he said those words.
