"If that's the case, Zeus, none of us is the true hero in the path of overthrowing the Father God."
However, across from Zeus, Poseidon clearly wasn't going to back down so easily. He avoided discussing the so-called 'merits,' because Poseidon knew he couldn't surpass his opponent.
"It is the honored Mother Earth who is key, isn't it? Without her, your so-called salvation could never have succeeded. Without her, what do we have today to persist until the Father God departed?"
"If accomplishments are to decide the Divine King's position, then it should be up to Mother Earth to make a fair judgment, not for you to receive it on your own!"
Sinking at heart, Zeus knew full well the other party was twisting words, but he still couldn't refute.
He had been confident before because between himself and Poseidon, the gods certainly seemed to favor him a little more. But if Gaia were to judge, and if she truly stood with Poseidon, the gods might not necessarily object.
