Angering Gaia is Hermes\'s tactic. It\'s good if you can use the technique of evil play to force back the Lord of God\'s punishment. If the technique of evil play doesn\'t work, you can only let Gaia force back the Lord of God\'s punishment.

But Hermes was worried that he would come back.

Cronus didn\'t care much about it: "I appreciate your wisdom very much. I didn\'t expect my mother to be willing to cooperate with you. You don\'t have to worry about the return of God\'s punishment. He is very concerned about principles. For him, an important principle is to try not to fight with you and me at the same time. Especially when my mother has been involved, he should not come back. He won\'t bear such a high risk."

"I\'m not worried about God\'s punishment," Hermes shook his head. "I\'m worried about the Earth Goddess. I\'m worried that he hasn\'t left yet."

Cronus was silent for a long time and asked, "that is to say, mother didn\'t know what you did before?"

"If he knows, what kind of anger is it? Isn\'t it a play?"

"So you really angered him?"

"How else can we scare away the Lord of divine punishment?"

"It\'s not cooperation at all. It\'s just your prank?"

"That\'s not the case. The Lord of divine punishment was scared away, and you and I saved our lives. In a sense, the cooperation was successful."

Cronus took a deep breath. "Have you considered the consequences of provoking him?"

"Yes, but I can\'t think of a reasonable explanation. I guess he won\'t give me a chance to explain, so I think we\'d better leave here now."

"It\'s late. I\'ve smelled my mother\'s anger," Cronus shook his head. "Stand where you are and don\'t move a step. I\'ll explain to my mother for you."

The earth trembled again, and a crack appeared in front of the church door, in which hot lava surged.

Martha looked calm and said, "don\'t be afraid. It\'s the will of the Lord."

Cronus clenched his hands on his chest and prayed in a low voice, "mother, please calm your anger. Let me explain to you that what happened before was done by despicable Hermes, and everything has nothing to do with me."

At the same time, Hermes changed into Cronus, dressed in a red robe and a huge hood, prayed: "the despicable Hermes changed into me, trying to avoid your punishment. This despicable man is right beside me."

Cronus turned his head and faced Hermes.

Gaia\'s thinking is illogical when he is angry. Hermes\'s lies seem clumsy, but they are very effective for Gaia.

Cronus brewed some words to prove his identity to his mother, but before he opened his mouth, lava gushed out of the earth and rushed straight to the clouds.

Tens of thousands of feet of lava formed a pillar of fire from the ground and directly gushed into the sky. Such a scene is beyond the scope of ordinary people\'s understanding.

Leo asked, "is this also the will of the Lord?"

Martha said firmly, "the power of the Lord is boundless."

……

Cronus and Hermes baptized 60 breaths in the lava. After 60 breaths, the lava dispersed, did not fall to the earth, the cracks on the ground disappeared, did not cause any damage to the ground, and even left no trace. Gaia\'s anger was only aimed at those who offended him.

Cronus\'s red robe was burned into a black robe, and black smoke came out under his huge hood.

Hermes changed back to his original appearance. His hair was scorched and his face was blackened.

Cronus coughed twice, pointed to Hermes\'s face and said, "how shameless are you?"

"Irrelevant topics will be discussed later," Hermes wiped the black dust on his face. "It\'s time for us to get out of here."

Hermes and Cronus did not dare to act alone until the Lord of divine punishment would not turn back. They flew together towards the second barrier.

On the way, Cronus continued the topic just now: "I saved your life, but you framed me. How shameless do you say you are?"

Hermes said, "I just wanted to ask you about this. Why did you save me?"

"Don\'t thank me and don\'t misunderstand my intention. I don\'t have any special feelings for you. I don\'t believe in feelings. I only believe in order and rules."

Hermes sighed: "I sincerely tell you that I never appreciate your ideas. I just want to know what significance I have in your order and rules?"

"The meaning of your existence represents balance. Balance represents the trade-off between gain and loss. Trade-off represents the containment of all parties. Containment is the basis for establishing rules and order."

Hermes frowned. "Can you be more direct?"

"You are so smart, why should I say it so directly?"

"Being more direct will let us eliminate unnecessary misunderstandings."

"To be direct, if you are finished, Olympia will be finished. I am the only opponent of the Lord of punishment, and I am not far from the end."

Hermes thought for a moment and said, "are you sure I\'m going to die today?"

"Yes," Cronus nodded. "Think about it. How can Athena escape from the Lord of divine punishment with her strength?"

Hermes said, "was it the Lord of divine punishment who deliberately let her go to earth?"

"I witnessed that battle. The Lord of divine punishment gave Athena a lot of opportunities, otherwise Athena would have turned into smoke and dust. At first, I couldn\'t understand the idea of the Lord of divine punishment, but when I saw Athena\'s various actions on earth, I finally understood the intention of the Lord of divine punishment,

Athena won\'t let Manda go. No matter what way, he will poison Manda sooner or later. Manda can\'t defeat Athena. You have no choice but to do it yourself. The Lord of divine punishment naturally has the opportunity to ambush you. "

While talking, Cronus used his skills to open a gap on the second barrier. After passing through the gap, Hermes asked, "why don\'t you use your sickle?"

Cronus said, "these barriers represent the boundary between the sky and the earth. I won\'t destroy it unless I have to."

"I\'m talking about the battle just now. If you take out the sickle at the beginning, maybe the battle won\'t be so dangerous."

Cronus smiled: "If I take out the sickle, I can frighten the Lord of God\'s punishment to abandon my armor. Why should I be so timid to maintain my balance? Every time I use the sickle, I have to seek the most confident opportunity. I don\'t have as many believers as you. The sickle is my most important capital. If the sickle is taken away by the Lord of God\'s punishment, the balance will be completely broken, and the end of you and me will come."

Flying from the second barrier to the third barrier, Cronus waited for Hermes to open the exit.

But Hermes didn\'t respond.

Cronus urged, "just now I opened the second barrier. Out of fairness, it\'s your turn this time."

Hermes shrugged and said, "my method takes a lot of time. The Lord of punishment may come at any time. We don\'t have so much time to waste."

Cronus was silent for a long time. He was not satisfied with the answer: "I am so sincere to you. You hide a lot from me. You use my mother to resist the Lord of divine punishment. This is definitely not a whim. You have been prepared for it."

Hermes smiled, "you overestimate me, and you see how embarrassed I was in the battle just now."

"There is indeed a gap between you and the Lord of divine punishment, but it is definitely not embarrassing. Don\'t pretend to be stupid. I will despise you like others, and my eyes will always look at you."

"Don\'t look at me like that. I\'ll be embarrassed," Hermes said shyly. "I\'m as pure as a child in front of all the gods."

"That makes sense, child," Cronus nodded. "I have something important to discuss with you."

"I\'d like to hear it in detail."

Cronus brewed for a long time and said, "I\'m your grandfather."

Hermes agreed: "it doesn\'t seem to be negotiable."

"As a family member and elder, I have a request. I hope you can agree. I want Manda and hope he can become my believer."

"Can you tell me why?"

"The reason is obvious. He is so excellent. Who doesn\'t want such excellent believers?"

Hermes pinched his chin. "Unfortunately, it\'s not negotiable."
