As the storm gradually gathered, Zeus's anger reached its boiling point. Lightning flashed around him, and intense thunderous energy rolled around him, emphasizing his authority and anger with each thunderclap. His thunderous voice echoed in the banquet hall, shaking every deity present: " Loki, Asura King, the two of you leave immediately! Do not create chaos in my palace!"
However, in the face of Zeus's anger and command, Loki not only showed no fear, but responded to Zeus with even more mocking words. A provocative smile appeared on his lips, and his words were full of sarcasm: "Oh, Lord Zeus, what's wrong? Has the power gone to your head again? As a 'great' deity who is always angry and leaves behind half-god offspring at will, shouldn't you reflect on yourself? Every time you behave like this, it brings endless turmoil to the mortal realm. Tell me, who should take responsibility for the last battle of the demigods?"
Loki's words made the atmosphere in the banquet hall even more tense. Some gods were shocked by his disrespect, while others were surprised by his audacity to provoke Zeus. As Zeus heard this mockery, his expression grew even darker.
With Loki's provocative words and Zeus's anger intertwining, the atmosphere in the banquet hall reached an unprecedented level of tension. The ruler of Olympus was now surrounded by a frenzy of thunder and lightning, his anger burning like a raging flame, with each flash of lightning seemingly conveying his fury and dissatisfaction.
"Your tricks are endless, you clown!" Zeus's voice thundered like a deafening roar, his eyes shooting out furious lightning. "Daring to sow discord in my palace, spreading your venomous words, what is it that you seek? Chaos? Destruction? Or do you wish to challenge my authority?"
Zeus's roar echoed through the banquet hall, but Loki seemed unfazed by the threat. He continued to respond with a contemptuous and disdainful attitude, "Oh, Lord Zeus, it seems you have forgotten that this world does not revolve around you alone. Your thunder may be strong, but it cannot overshadow the brilliance of others. You create chaos in the mortal realm, leaving a mess behind. Who should clean up after you? Your so-called order is nothing but a means to maintain your own status."
Loki's words are full of provocation and sarcasm, his language sharp as if deliberately provoking Zeus's anger. His eyes gleam with cunning, seemingly enjoying the conflict. By his side, Asura King Poji stands straight, his eyes flashing the same challenging intent as Loki.
As tensions escalate, Odin stands there, sensing Zeus's almost uncontrollable anger. He gazes coldly at Loki, his voice echoing through the entire banquet hall with unquestionable authority and anger: " Loki, end your antics now! Leave immediately!" He tightly grips Gungnir, the divine weapon emitting a dazzling cold light under his control, as if ready to respond to the impending conflict.
However, Loki seemed to completely disregard Odin's warning and instead quickened his pace, wearing a provocative smile on his face as he walked directly towards the high platform. His steps were light, and his eyes sparkled with a challenging light, as if he were enjoying the role of the creator of chaos.
Zeus's patience had been worn thin. Lightning surrounded his body, the power of thunder boiled within him, and anger accompanied a strong force swirling around him. He decided to end the chaos with thunder. The lightning gathered under his control into a fierce thunderbolt, descending from the sky directly towards Loki. At the moment when this thunderbolt was about to strike Loki, a dazzling light suddenly burst forth, enveloping Loki entirely.
The light was dazzling, not only blocking Zeus's thunder but also illuminating the entire banquet hall as if it were daytime. In that light, Athena's figure gradually appeared, her expression serious and determined, as if conveying her stance and choice to Zeus.
Zeus, seeing this, burned with anger. His voice roared through the banquet hall like a violent storm, "Athena! How dare you oppose your father at a time like this? Why do you intervene to protect this troublemaker?"
Athena faced Zeus's anger with calm and determination. Her expression remained cool and resolute, her eyes showing no fear, revealing an unwavering resolve. Her voice rang out, clear and firm: "Father, this time, I will not stand by your side. You need to realize one thing - are your actions truly completely right?"
Athena's words were full of strength as she continued to point out deeply: "Our current rule has become corrupt and outdated. This is not just a reproach to you, but a wake-up call to all of us gods. Our world needs new thinking, we need reason instead of violence. It's time for new forces to take over, leading us towards a wiser and more just future."
Her words seemed like a sharp blade, cutting through the long-held order and tradition of the divine realm. Each of her words appeared to challenge the status quo, carrying with it hope and anticipation for the future. Her remarks also reflected a deep reflection and dissatisfaction with the current system.
Upon hearing Athena's speech, many gods present were shocked. Some deities had a pensive look in their eyes, as if reexamining their own positions and beliefs. However, Zeus was extremely angry at his daughter's outspokenness. Thunder rumbled more fiercely around him, lightning crackled around him, and his expression grew darker. Yet deep down, he could not ignore the questions and challenges raised by his daughter.
This confrontation is not just a power struggle, but also a profound debate about the future direction of the divine realm. Athena's words are like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples. They not only challenge Zeus's authority, but also force every deity present to confront the impact and consequences of it all, and to reconsider their own positions and choices.
