The Greece Antagonist-Chapter 594 - 80: Absolute Disloyalty is the Non-Absolute of Loyalty

As a large-scale troop exercise commenced in Thessaly, hot as fire, Perseus of the Perseus Constellation, having achieved nothing, had also returned to Olympus amid the stars.

In the vast and majestic Great Temple, Perseus knelt on one knee before the steps, reporting back to Divine King Zeus.

"Hercules has resolved to stay in Thessaly, assisting Admetos, together defending against the invasion of the Giant Spirit Clan."

"Is he defying orders?"

The face of Zeus on the throne darkened, and his eyes narrowed.

In the temple, Perseus hastily explained for his disciple, "Hercules does this all for you. He cannot bear to see your temple fall into the hands of enemies and your worship brought to an end. He absolutely does not mean to defy you!"

"For me?" Zeus raised an eyebrow, his voice cold and mocking, "And flirting with those traitors on War God Mountain, becoming the King of Argos instead of Eurystheus as well?"

The sound of thunder solemnly echoed in the Great Temple, and Perseus standing before the steps felt a heaviness in his heart.

Even if he intended to conceal his rash disciple’s actions, the Father God was fully aware of what Hercules had done in the Mortal World, aware of even some secrets that he himself did not know, also known to this Father God.

Thus, this could only mean one thing.

Besides himself, this Father God had other agents who were monitoring and listening to Hercules’s actions and words.

"Glory, Divine Objects, adventures... What he wanted, when have I ever been stingy?" Zeus’s grip on his scepter unconsciously tightened, his gaze gradually growing colder, "I gave him so much divine grace, and yet he still turns out untrained!"

"Father God, everything Hercules does is just to protect Thessaly, that sacred land, for you," Perseus, seeing Zeus seemingly in real anger, vehemently defended his disciple and earnestly guaranteed, "I believe, his heart is still with you!"

Zeus did not explicitly agree or disagree, instead, he turned his gaze towards Perseus, who was vigorously defending Hercules below, seemingly asking nonchalantly.

"So, you just let him stay in Thessaly?"

Upon hearing this, Perseus’s heartbeat inexplicably quickened.

Almost instinctively, he immediately bowed his head, his face humble as he pleaded for forgiveness.

"Not being able to bring Hercules back is my dereliction of duty. Please punish me!"

"It was he who defied orders, what does this have to do with you? I was just asking; there’s no need to be so nervous."

With a casual gesture of his left hand, Zeus gently reassured and then with a glint in his eyes, casually delved deeper into their previous conversation.

"However, I recall saying: when necessary, you could use some force to bring him back to Olympus..."

"I tried, but I am no match for him," Perseus honestly replied.

"Using the three Divine Objects I gave you, you couldn’t subdue him?" Zeus appeared a bit surprised.

"That child is even more outstanding than I had imagined," Perseus sincerely answered, a hint of genuine appreciation appearing in his eyes. "His growth has also exceeded my expectations. Now, there’s nothing more I can teach him."

"Is that so?" Zeus nodded slightly, his tone neutral as he gave a compliment, "That’s truly remarkable, and your careful nurturing of him all this time hasn’t been in vain."

Perseus shook his head, speaking earnestly: "No, Hercules’s achievements are all due to your merit!"

Then, he paused, once again speaking on behalf of Hercules.

"Thus, I believe that based on that child’s character, as soon as this war is over, he will certainly return to your command and apologize for his transgressions!"

"Your relationship is truly strong..." Zeus remarked with a sigh as he looked at Perseus, who repeatedly vouched for Hercules. After a moment of thought, he smiled, "Fine, since you say so, I will trust him this once."

"Thank you, Father God!" Perseus exclaimed with great joy upon hearing this, "Rest assured, once the conflict in Thessaly is over, I will definitely bring him back!"

Hercules, after all, was the child he had personally raised and educated; if given a choice, he naturally wouldn’t want to stand against this child.

Being able to return under the Father God’s flag and rejuvenate the glory of Olympus filled Perseus with sincere joy for his student and brother.

And with his understanding of Hercules, he was confident in resolving the chaos, persuading Hercules to return to his rightful place after the war.

"Rest assured, of course I’m at ease." Zeus smiled and nodded, then said self-mockingly, "After all, you are now the son I trust the most."

Hearing this, Perseus felt both touched and somewhat abashed.

The misunderstanding of the Father God by others seemed too deep, especially by his siblings.

Thinking this, an urge emerged within Perseus, and a phrase long suppressed in his heart slipped out.

"Father God, please also allow me to go to the Lower Realm, to assist Hercules in guarding Thessaly!"

"You want to go too?" Zeus, hearing this, showed a hint of surprise.

"To guard the sacred land and expel the invaders is precisely our duty as Divine Sons," Perseus first declared his superficial duty, then gravely expressed a deeper sentiment, "I believe that by defeating the giants and resolving this crisis, not just the people of Thessaly, but all city-states in Greece will remember your benevolence towards the Mortal World, will hold increased reverence and stronger faith in you. Moreover, ending the war sooner can also allow Hercules to return sooner to continue his unfinished trials and unaccomplished great deeds!"
