Chapter 3068: Matter Settled (Part 2)
After saying goodbye to Hera, Hal and Bruce first went to the Hesperides Sacred Garden in the far west, picked an apple from the golden apple tree, and cut it open and preserved it intact with the divine power of the Hesperides.
According to the Hesperides sisters, if it was just an ordinary human, there was no need to eat a whole golden apple to gain longevity. Eating one bite was actually enough. One golden apple was enough for more than a dozen people, so it was better to cut it open and store it.
In addition, regarding the idea of making apple pie with golden apples, the Hesperides expressed clear opposition, because since this thing was born, no one had ever cooked it, and there was no way to ensure whether it would still be effective after being cooked, so Bruce and Hal could only find ways to trick Oliver into eating it raw.
Afterward, they visited the Fire God Hephaestus, but Diana's brother was a dull person, only caring about blacksmithing, seemingly completely unable to hear what Bruce and Hal were saying, and completely unconcerned about the situation on Mount Olympus. Only when Bruce mentioned the shells did he have some emotional fluctuations.
But Bruce still didn't get to see the shells in the end, because the Fire God said that this thing was very dangerous, and besides the person who wanted to forge it, no one had the correct way to use it. It could only be used as a last resort to perish together, and it was better not to see the light of day in normal times.
Although curious, they were not unaware of the severity. Things that could make the gods treat them so cautiously must be very dangerous. It was best to seal them up safely.
After turning around, they returned to Mercury again and studied with everyone how to deal with Zeus. Bruce actually already had a plan, but he needed people to cooperate.
"Zeus's weakness is very obvious," Bruce said, sitting at the conference table. "He likes beauties and can't move when he sees beauties. So we only need to get a beauty to lure him over, and then let the eldest son give him a blow, preferably making it a serious injury that needs to recover for ten thousand or eight thousand years, so that Hera's acting as King of the Gods will be justified."
Clark nodded and said: "Good plan, the only problem is, where to get a beauty?"
Clark saw Bruce staring at him with burning eyes. Clark pointed to himself and said: "Me?"
"Stop joking, I'm a man, and with my build, dressing in women's clothes doesn't look like a woman at all," Clark shook his head, seeming to think it was very absurd, but soon he looked at Bruce again and said: "I think you have some hope."
Others stared at Bruce with burning eyes.
"Do you think Zeus is stupid?" Bruce rolled his eyes and said: "People have divine power, can't they tell men from women?"
"But I heard that angels have no gender..."
"I'm not a natural angel!"
A few people discussed it and found that the most difficult part of this plan was actually finding a suitable candidate to seduce him. Although it didn't need to really happen with Zeus, it was already very difficult to attract Zeus and protect oneself. Whether others were willing was another matter.
Everyone had heard of Zeus's reputation. Women without holes in their brains would not want to approach this crazy stallion. So what if the children born were demigods? Which one on Mount Olympus was not a demigod? In the end, they were all nameless working cattle and horses.
Thinking about it, they didn't think of a suitable candidate. Bruce thought for a long time and felt that he still had to be professional. He contacted Natasha through the Battleworld system.
Hearing that it was seduction, Natasha was immediately energetic, but hearing that it was Zeus, Natasha's tone clearly became disappointed.
Her last seduction target, Iron Man Tony Stark, don't worry about how he performed in bed, that skin was still quite bluffing, especially those eyes that looked affectionate even when looking at a dog. Natasha hadn't found a substitute yet.
But Zeus's appearance was an old man after all, which was really not the type Natasha liked, and this old man also liked to let people give birth to children for him. Although Natasha had no fertility at all, it was still creepy to think about it.
"This job can be taken," Natasha sent the message to Bruce. She said: "But considering that the other party's image is not very good, you have to add money."
Bruce sighed, feeling a headache. Natasha was indeed professional, but her asking price was too high. What did she want so many sets of Batman equipment for? Could it be that the black one-eyed dragon wanted to expand again? If he couldn't get Iron Man's standard equipment, he would come to him to find a substitute?
Bruce checked his account balance and felt that it was better to wait two days. Recently, his business on the East Coast had been suppressed by the Luthor Group, and many talents had been poached. Although personnel expenses had been reduced by more than half, it was still stretched. If he opened the assembly line for Batman equipment again, Tim would fight him to the death.
But just at this moment, Natasha recommended an unexpected person—Loki.
Although Natasha was professional, Loki was an expert in this field. More importantly, Bruce flipped through Zeus's love history and found that Zeus preferred pure young girls. Loki should be more in line with his aesthetics.
And Loki was a Frost Giant at a low level, and could also take her brother's hammer. If this old guy Zeus really wanted to do something, she also had the power to protect herself. Natasha was a bit worse in this regard.
Of course, Natasha didn't introduce her for nothing. People also wanted to collect agency fees, but compared to her taking action herself, it was still much cheaper.
Bruce soon contacted Loki. At this time, Loki was still holding a meeting for various Lokis in Battleworld, integrating the resources of Asgard from various universes to fight against Ragnarok.
Didn't you say this was sending a pillow when you were sleepy? Batman called.
After knowing what Bruce wanted to do, Loki didn't take it seriously. She was good at seduction and guaranteed to make that Zeus fascinated. But the condition was that Bruce had to go over and help her work, and sort out the affairs of Asgard.
Bruce felt that the ability of Loki, the God of Mischief, might be very useful later. So many Lokis gathered together could perform a big show, so he had to build a good relationship with them in advance, and the two hit it off.
Loki came to Mercury directly through the teleportation gate because it was closer to the Light Domain, and she only needed to play the role of a magic professor here.
She had also served as a teacher at the Kamar-Taj Magic Academy before, which was not difficult for her. To prevent Zeus from being suspicious, she really started teaching here, and the students liked this new beautiful teacher very much.
Then, one day during a magic demonstration class, Loki accidentally collided with Helios, who was pulling the sun chariot, and broke his car.
Loki expressed her deepest apologies and wanted to repair the car for Helios. Helios saw her beautiful face and originally wanted to say no, but he had a boss, Apollo, after all. If the car was broken and work was delayed, he couldn't explain it to his boss, so Helios agreed.
After the car was repaired, Loki made an excuse to send it to him, went with him to the Light Domain, and also met Apollo.
Loki and Apollo talked happily. Hera pretended not to know and invited Apollo to go to her back garden for a picnic. Apollo took Loki with him.
Zeus's eyes went straight when he saw Loki.
This was because Thor was not present. But if Thor were present, Thor could sentence him to death just by this look.
Finding that Zeus took the bait, Loki smiled and said nothing, continuing to chat happily with Apollo, occasionally toasting Hera, pretending to be curious and asking about the situation on Mount Olympus.
A picnic was a happy one for both host and guest. When leaving the Light Domain, Loki deliberately looked back at Zeus.
This was because Thor was not present. But if Thor were present, Thor could break Loki's leg just by this look.
Zeus clearly received the signal. On the spot, his legs didn't hurt, his waist didn't ache, and he felt he could counterattack Mount Olympus.
That night, the surveillance camera on Mercury captured Zeus sneaking around the sun.
This old guy at least had some sense of shame and didn't dare to come directly to the Mercury base, just wandering around the sun. Loki also pretended not to know and went for a walk near the Venus orbit at a fixed time every day.
Falling into Zeus's eyes, he naturally felt that this was a good opportunity. So one day, Zeus encountered Loki wandering near the orbit.
Then, according to the urine nature of most myths and legends, the next step was naturally heaven as a quilt and earth as a bed. But Loki was not so easy to fool. She played a game of playing hard to get. After seeing Zeus, she started to run.
Zeus hadn't seen this scene before. When he approached those beauties in the past, he wasn't full and had nothing to do, so he had to turn into an animal. Wasn't it just to avoid scaring people away?
Seeing Loki run away, he became even more energetic. No matter which direction Loki flew, he chased after her, and he didn't realize at all that he was getting further and further away from the entrance of the Light Domain.
Seeing that the position was almost there, Loki appeared behind Zeus in a flash. Zeus turned around and saw Loki smiling slyly at him, while pointing at Zeus's back with a scepter.
Zeus had a bad premonition. Before he could look back, a violent roar came, and a huge shadow enveloped him.
Shiler was tending his vegetable garden in the backyard. After hearing the doorbell, he took off his gloves and went to the front yard to open the door. As soon as he opened the door, the children rushed in.
"Have you heard? Professor, that eldest son knocked Zeus down, and he was seriously injured. I heard that he won't be able to get up for a few thousand years," Aisha shouted at the top of her lungs.
"If you ask me, he completely deserves it. He actually took a fancy to the magic teacher of the Mercury base. If the eldest son hadn't beaten him, I would have gone to beat him!" Raven waved her fist and said.
"Have you already reported to the Mercury base?" Shiler took off his hat and cleaned the mud off his boots.
"Yes, we just came back. We might have to stay on Mercury for the next half year. By the way, Professor, have you started growing vegetables yourself?"
Shiler nodded and took them to the backyard. Besides the open-air vegetable field, the backyard also had a newly erected greenhouse, as well as the pavilion where they had entertained Diana before.
"It seems we can eat fresh salad in the future," Dick walked to the edge of the field, and Aisha was also poking her head there.
"Yes, when the vegetables are ripe, I will invite you. How is Atlantis?"
Dick's expression became a bit complicated. He said: "We went to see Arthur. He was seriously injured and I'm afraid he won't be able to get out of bed for a while."
"Really?" Shiler asked.
"Well, I feel he is actually already well, but he doesn't seem to want to get well, because as long as he is still lying in bed, he can throw everything to his fiancée, and he doesn't have to go to Mercury to teach any biology and nature classes. He is clearly being lazy."
Shiler picked up the watering can and said: "He might feel that Mera is more suitable to be the Sea King than him. Did the eldest son who beat Zeus?"
"Resurrected Ares and the Green Lantern Corps joined forces to seal him up, and he was sealed on Venus," Jason sighed and said: "If there are no accidents, he should become the graduation exam question for the students." ===== CHAPTER 3069 =====
