Chapter 13: Conquer Yourself
I am the Son of Zeus.
Silence fell in the room.
Tony and the other two had stiff expressions.
Another figure from mythology?
At this moment, they thought of the two Sons of Odin they had just sent off yesterday.
And this Chitauri incident was caused by Loki, the Son of Odin.
"Again, again?"
Bruce Banner stammered, taking two steps back in fear.
"You're really not joking?"
Steve frowned, looking at Lynn.
If that was the case, they really should take it seriously.
"Pfft! Haha!"
Tony laughed, "Lynn, even if you want to refuse us, you don't need to find such an unreliable reason."
He scrutinized Lynn, making 'tsk tsk' sounds, "So, what is your true identity? The Sun God? The God of War? Or the God of Fire?"
"I only awakened recently, I'm not one of those old relics."
Lynn spread his hands at the three of them.
Tony waved his hand, impatiently saying, "Oh, come on! I've seen all your records from childhood to adulthood!"
He looked at Lynn confidently.
"You were born on Earth, grew up on Earth, how could you be the Son of Zeus? Unless your father, Mike Krete, is Zeu—"
He suddenly swallowed, his voice trailing off.
"It can't really be Zeus, can it?"
He whispered, observing Lynn's expression.
"The real deal."
Lynn nodded calmly.
Immediately, Tony and the other two felt their scalps tingle.
This World seemed even more complex than they had imagined, so much so that they couldn't quite understand it anymore.
Zeus was on Earth, and he even had a child?
What was going on?
Why would Zeus be on Earth?
A series of thoughts flashed through their minds.
"You're really not joking?"
Tony still couldn't quite believe it.
Lynn smiled and said, "I can't prove it to you, whether you believe it or not is up to you."
Just then, Steve asked seriously, "If what you say is true, why would Zeus be on Earth?"
"I don't know."
Lynn shook his head helplessly.
He was lying, but he didn't need to tell others about his father's predicament.
Seeing the three of them look solemn, Lynn also said seriously, "But what I'm certain of is that he wouldn't do anything bad for Earth."
Tony and Steve exchanged glances, feeling that this statement should have a high degree of credibility.
After all, Zeus had been on Earth for many years; if he wanted to do anything, he would have done it long ago.
"New York Police Department Director, King Zeus?"
Tony muttered, unable to connect these two identities.
"I know!"
Bruce Banner suddenly yelled, his emotions agitated, "He's been on Earth for so long, it must be for your mother! This is love!"
"Banner, what you said... makes a lot of sense."
Tony was stunned for a moment, then stroked his chin and muttered, "Zeus is known in mythology as a promiscuous god. It's possible for him to stay on Earth for so long for love."
Just on the point of promiscuity, Zeus was practically his idol.
Steve nodded in agreement.
Lynn's mouth twitched.
So, this time his father's character design won?
"So what if he's the Son of Zeus? Thor is also an Avenger, one more of you won't make a difference!"
The more Tony spoke, the more he felt that Lynn's identity was not an issue, and he even felt that the decision to invite Lynn to join the Avengers couldn't have been more correct.
After Asgard became their ally, would Olympus also become their ally?
Just thinking about this, Tony felt his anxiety ease considerably.
"No, you've forgotten one thing."
Steve reminded, "Hera."
Hera, the Queen of Heaven in mythology, the goddess of marriage and childbirth, one of the twelve Olympian gods, Zeus's sister and wife, and this Queen of Heaven was famous for her jealousy.
If this Queen of Heaven knew Lynn's identity, how would she treat Lynn and his mother?
So this was the trouble Lynn was talking about?
A look of realization flashed in the eyes of Tony and the other two, and they couldn't help but cast sympathetic glances at Lynn.
Lynn's eye twitched.
He hadn't said anything, but the three of them solving their own problems saved him the trouble of explaining. Although the details were slightly off, the general direction was still correct.
"Ahem, pretty much."
Lynn responded, helplessly saying, "As far as I know, people from Olympus will be coming in a month."
"I can't join the Avengers, it would bring you trouble."
Faced with Lynn's sincere answer, the three fell silent.
Lynn could have readily accepted their invitation to join the Avengers, dragging them into this mess.
But Lynn didn't do that.
Lynn was a good person.
"Lynn."
Tony put away his usual flippancy, "If you need help, just contact me directly. I owe you one."
When he failed to push the nuclear bomb through the space portal and was consumed by fear, regret, and unwillingness, Lynn appeared and pulled him out of the abyss.
At that time, Lynn was simply an Angel in his eyes.
Steve and Banner exchanged glances and said to Lynn, "We all owe you one."
"Although I don't really feel like you owe me anything, but... thank you."
Lynn smiled and said to the three of them.
Ding!
Obtained the Avengers' friendship! Completed!
If Lynn had a system, such a sound would probably ring out at this moment.
Originally, he only wanted to increase Tony's favorability, but he unexpectedly increased Steve's and Banner's favorability as well, which was a pleasant surprise.
For these superheroes, emotion and friendship were always the best way to build deep bonds.
In that case, if the people from Olympus appeared, his chances would be a bit higher.
Lynn muttered to himself, glancing at Tony.
Unfortunately, the current Tony Stark probably couldn't become his follower.
He was too self-centered and too proud.
Even if he told Tony the secret of his parents' death, it wouldn't be enough for Tony to become his follower.
Unless he could resurrect their parents... Lynn muttered to himself. Although a little disappointed, at least he had now gained the trust and friendship of these three Avengers.
The goal of this contact with Tony had been overachieved.
A series of thoughts flashed through Lynn's mind.
For the rest of the time, Lynn chatted very happily with the three of them, and after Tony suggested having a drink together, all three agreed.
In the end, with Tony getting drunk alone and Banner getting full from drinking juice, the first gathering ended perfectly... Olympus.
This was the main dwelling place of the Olympian gods, an independent dimension.
At this moment, above the Olympus Temple, in the shimmering sky, threads of starlight formed by responsibilities were condensing.
When this star condensed and appeared, Lynn's name would appear within it.
And there were still twenty-eight days until this star successfully condensed.
